248, unknown force
Sitting down at the stone table in the pavilion, I immediately threw out the question in my stomach.
"Second grandfather, what is the stone pillar in the sinkhole we went to?"
The second grandfather squatted in the corner of the pavilion, where there was a small red clay stove.
When he had skillfully lit the stove, he picked up the copper kettle, made a pot of water in a clear puddle in the shallow pool, and put it on the stove to boil.
Hearing me speak, he sat back at the stone table unhurriedly and said, "The place you mentioned was also discovered by accident, and it does not belong to our Di family. However, according to my observations in recent years, I have found that it has a deep relationship with the Five Classics family. I'm sure you saw it yesterday, there are five shallow pits on that pillar, which are almost exactly the same as the shape of our Di family's piece of blood jade, if there is no connection, it is impossible. ”
"Yesterday, I heard Lao Zhou say that when you came to me in the mountains, he first thought that you were my enemies. So, I tied up Lao Zhou, and then took advantage of the darkness to go to your camp, trying to scare you away. How do you know that you kid found out. Later, I hid in the depths of the woods and watched you all the time, but I didn't expect you to climb up the trees and find those strange lights. I'll follow you all the way from afar, watching you enter the restricted area and descend from the edge of the sinkhole to the bottom. I knew something was wrong. Because I have been to that place countless times, I have also seen the appearance of the blood jade of our Di family in the palm of your grandfather's hand. The shape of the five shallow pits on that pillar is basically exactly the same as that piece of jade. The first time I saw you, I had a feeling of déjà vu, until later, the piece of blood jade in your body really reacted with the five shallow pits on the pillar, and I knew that you must be from our Di family. ”
At this point, the lid of the kettle popped and the water boiled.
I was about to stand up to make tea, but the second grandfather reached out to me to sit down, and he stood up himself, took the copper kettle, and scalded the pottery tea set on the stone table.
Then, he skillfully took out the tea leaves from a cloth bag in the corner of the pavilion and put them into the teapot, and brewed a cup of fragrant tea.
The first brew is not as usual, and it is called washing tea.
The second brew poured a small cup and pushed it towards me.
I took a sip of it, it was mellow and sweet, and it was really extraordinary.
After taking a sip of tea, I immediately felt those tea soups, which exuded a ghostly aura in my stomach, which made people very comfortable.
"Second grandpa, what kind of tea is this?" I asked in surprise.
The second grandfather smiled and said, "This was picked on the wall of the sinkhole, and I named him Shenguang Tea." The tea trees there are very peculiar, and under the light of those gods, they sprout earlier than the tea leaves outside. The tea leaves that grow are also larger than those outside. One year when I had nothing to do, I went there to pick a handful, I didn't want to come, but after taking it back and frying it, I tried it, and it was really extraordinary. The ones you drink are still last year's old tea, and this year's newly fried ones are still in the thatched hut. ”
Hearing him say this, I suddenly remembered those fruits that were very different from the outside. Therefore, I hurriedly asked, "Second grandfather, is everything within a few kilometers of that sinkhole bigger than the outside world?"
"Feng'er, you are very careful, I have been there several times before I found out, everything within a radius of five kilometers around that sinkhole is different from the outside world. And the closer you get to the sinkhole, the more noticeable this phenomenon becomes. Inside the sinkhole, it's even more incredible. I used to grow a few ginseng there, and those ginseng were generally twice as big as the outside. I'll show you this. ”
With that, the second grandfather stood up and entered through the back door of the hut.
After a while, he took out a wooden box, lifted the lid of the wooden box, and inside it was neatly stacked with dozens of ginseng the size of carrots, the first of which was almost comparable to the ginseng king I won back in Zhou Zihao's hands.
I couldn't help but say: "So much, this box of ginseng, when taken outside, can be said to be priceless, and it is not an exaggeration." ”
The second grandfather nodded, naturally knowing.
I wondered why he didn't take the ginseng out and sell it.
The second grandfather knew what I was thinking, and then said, "I know that every ginseng plant here is comparable to the thousand-year-old ginseng king outside. It's just that these ginseng grew so big in that sinkhole. I'm worried about what grows there. So over the years, I've been experimenting with rabbits while trying to eat the sinkholes myself. The result is that these things are only good, not bad. Besides, your second grandfather is also nearly eighty years old, what's the use of having so much money? If I take out so many good goods at one time, I am afraid that it will arouse the covetousness of the outside of the mountain, and at that time, I am afraid that it will attract a large number of medicine pickers, and this piece of feng shui treasure land of our Di family will probably also be known to outsiders. Now it's okay, Feng'er is here, these things will be yours in the future, and you take them as capital to revitalize the ancestral business of the Di family. ”
After the second grandfather sealed the box, he stopped paying attention to it, looked at me with a long gaze and said, "The secret here cannot be known to anyone, including your best friend. ”
I have long understood the complexity of human nature, so I deeply believe in the reminder of the second grandfather.
Perhaps, if I tell Zheng Xiongqi and Chihiro all these things, they will not covet me. But Zheng Xiongqi's big mouth could easily spread the matter.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. I don't know which day it will attract coveters. So for everyone's good, it's better not to say it.
The second grandfather's words only made me confirm my previous conjecture.
The light emitted by the things in the pit was most likely a vast unknown force. He can prompt plants that are close to him to burst out with more than ordinary growth. As for whether it has the same effect on animals, it is not known for the time being.
Therefore, I asked, "Second grandfather, does that light have a miraculous effect on plants, but does it have the same effect on animals?"
The second grandfather said with a smile: "I have also done a special experiment on this problem, and the animals near the sinkhole, although they are not like plants, have become very large. But their reflexes, their acuity, are much stronger than those of the animals outside. Because of this, I rarely hit a prey within three kilometers of the sinkhole. ”
It wasn't until I heard the affirmative answer that I breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm afraid that it will hurt animals. If animals can grow twice as big as plants in the sky, the rats in the pit may be bigger than cats, and it's scary to think about.
