As soon as I entered the house at noon, I heard my mother's roar.

"Xian Dong Dong, you stinky boy, why don't you listen seriously in class, what is thinking about it all over your head, do you understand what Teacher Sun said today" Mom shouted loudly in the kitchen.

I patted my head, it's broken, this Teacher Sun is also a teacher at my mother's school, they must all know each other, it seems that I haven't arrived home yet, my mother must have called to ask me about today's situation.

Hey, it's really miserable to have a mother who is a teacher, she also has a holiday when you have a holiday, and she has not escaped her "clutches" from childhood to adulthood during the winter and summer vacations.

"I listened carefully" I quickly said perfunctorily, or I don't know how much nagging there will be later, I hurried to my room, closed the door, only to hear my mother kept nagging, but I couldn't hear what it was.

Thinking of what Liu Lei said today, I turned on the computer and wanted to check the news he said, but there was no specific article, but there were individual discussions in some forums, which were nothing more than comments such as the girl falling out of love and being mentally hit.

Suddenly, I saw that there was such a news in today's city news, it was a missing person notice, saying that yesterday there was a couple walking in the park, the boy was touched by something, left the girl and ran away, did not go home, the family is looking for the boy. I have an indescribable feeling, how does it feel like Sun Shiqi encountered a situation that is almost that. It was almost half past 12 o'clock, my stomach was calling for food, I pushed open the door to the dining table in the living room, my mother had already prepared the meal, I didn't think so much about it, the most important thing was to fill my stomach.

Just as I was taking a big bite to eat, my mother suddenly said, "Your dad will come back in the evening today." ”

Yes, my dad has been out for half a month, and I went back to my hometown to see my grandfather, I originally wanted to go, but when my dad left, it was just in time for me to prepare for the final exam, so I didn't go back.

"I don't know what Daddy is going to bring back from Grandpa," I said as I ate.

No matter how busy Dad is, he has to go back to see Grandpa every six months, and every time he comes back from Grandpa's house, he will bring back something, which is something that Grandpa left for Dad, and Dad is Grandpa's only son, so Grandpa left everything to Dad, but if he doesn't leave it to Dad, no one else wants it.

"As long as it's not a bunch of broken books, every time you bring back some books that no one can understand, you can't put them at home, or your grandma brings you some delicious food every time to fill your stomach," Mom said helplessly.

After eating, I cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and asked my mother casually.

"Mom, do you know about the daughter of Teacher Sun who gave me a make-up lesson?"

Mom frowned and hummed slightly.

I asked curiously again, "Then you know Sun Shiqi." ”

"She's my student," my mom chimed in.

I pretended to be okay and said, "Why did Sun Shiqi commit suicide!"

Mom was a little impatient, "You stinky boy, you heard it from there, what gossip, she just didn't do well in the exam, she can't think about it, don't inquire about it." ”

I saw that my mother was a little angry, so I hurriedly went to the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks.

If you don't do well in the exam, you won't kill yourself, I thought to myself.

In the evening, Dad drove back, I went to the garage to pick him up, it seems that Grandpa took a lot of things for Dad to bring back, among them was a beautiful little wooden box, I asked Dad what it was, he just said that it was an ancestral thing, go home and talk about it.

After arriving home, my mother sorted out these things, I held the exquisite little wooden box and began to study, this wooden box has a keyhole on it, it seems that the key is needed to open, the wooden box has regular stripes all around, it looks like both dragon pattern and phoenix pattern, the workmanship of the wooden box is very exquisite. ，

"Dad, what is this wooden box, gold and silver treasures?" I asked curiously.

"This is an ancestral thing, a gift from your grandfather, it's all books," Dad sat on the sofa and packed his handbag.

"Here's this," Dad said, handing over a key.

I took the key, this key is really ancient, but the key handle is more special, it is the head of an animal, I don't know what kind of animal it is, it seems to be a totem.

"Can I open it?" I asked my father.

"Open it, it's some ancient books, I read them when I was a child, they seem to be divination, feng shui books, but many words are seal books, and I don't understand it. Dad lit a cigarette and said, "If you are interested, study it to see if there is any divination business in it, and give him some advice." ”

"Forget it, you can't read it, I can't read it anymore" I lost interest a little, but a curiosity drove me to open the small wooden box, which contained a dozen books and a metal box, slender and like a pencil case. I picked up the metal box, it wasn't very heavy, but it didn't have an opening, and there was a dented pattern on the surface of the box.

I asked my dad, "What's in this metal box?" and I shook the metal in front of him.

"I don't know, there wasn't this box before, you open it and take a look" Dad was also at a loss. "Could it be that your grandfather put it in new? No wonder this box is heavier than before. ”

"I can't open it, and there's no place for this box to open, it's like it's sealed," I said helplessly.

Dad took the box I took, looked left and right, and said, "Is this a paperweight, you can take it and play with it."

"Could this be the legendary Moonlight Treasure Box?" I held up the box to the ceiling lamp.

Mom also came to see, "It's some books again, and almost all the books from your grandfather's house have been moved back by your father." Let me see your Moonlight Treasure Box. Mom took a metal box and looked at it, "It is estimated that it is not valuable, it is not heavy, and it is definitely not made of gold and silver." Knock knock, do you want to call your grandfather and ask, what is this box for? ”

"Okay" I took the box and sat down on the couch next to me and called my grandfather.

"Grandpa, I want to ask you something," I said on the phone.

"What's the matter, knock knock, grandpa misses you so much, when can I come to see grandpa" grandpa asked with concern.

"The Spring Festival is going to be over in a few days, I'll go back for the Spring Festival, and now I'm still making up for classes," I said, "Grandpa, you brought a wooden box to Dad and there was a box in it, what is this for?"

"The box is ancestral, I don't know what to do, my grandfather told me, "Only when you meet the descendants of fate can you know how to use it, this is also passed down from our family, thousands of years, grandpa is old, he left him to you, you have to keep this box and those books, this is the root of our Xian family" Grandpa said slowly.

"Oh, I see, grandpa isn't early, you can rest early, goodbye grandpa" I said.

"Remember to come to see grandpa during the Spring Festival, grandpa told you some history of the Xian family, you should go to bed early" grandpa said a little reluctantly.

After hanging up the phone, I told my parents that my grandfather didn't know what this box was for.

My parents asked me to put the small wooden box and metal box in the cabinet under my bed, and I pulled out a book and metal box from it, put them on the bedside table next to the bed, and started playing with my phone.

It's past 23 o'clock, I'm a little sleepy, my eyes are tired and a little painful, turn off the lights and go to sleep,.

In my sleep, my mind is still full of Sun Shiqi and the ancestral books and metal boxes, and there seems to be something in the dream that keeps ringing, making a "knock knock" sound, what kind of sound is this, so kind and so gentle.
