Chapter 48: New Year's Gifts
Grandpa looked at the photo on the phone and said excitedly, he looked at it carefully for a long time before handing the phone to Dad, who looked at it a few times and handed it to me.
The photo shows a young man, with a smooth and fair face, revealing an angular cold handsomeness, thick eyebrows slightly raised, under the long and slightly curled eyelashes, dark and deep eyes, looking wild and uninhibited, slender but not very burly, dressed in black He is a little cold.
"It's him, he was the one who came to our house a few days ago to collect old things, but I didn't care about anything, and then I thought it was troublesome and let him go, and then I found that the wooden sword was gone," Grandpa said.
"By the way, he walked around the living room, looked at the wooden sword for a long time, and asked me if I sold it. Grandpa added.
The two brothers Zhang Bin walked out of the warehouse with us, came to the living room, and looked at the things on the table.
"Dad, let's go home first, Xiaobin at least took a photo of the person and sent it to the police, wait for the police to find it." Just when I reported the crime, I also talked about our wooden sword. Dad said.
Grandpa nodded, disappointed home, on the way home, grandpa suddenly said:
"Knock knock, they don't know about the shadow, don't tell outsiders about it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. ”
I looked at my grandfather and nodded.
"Grandpa, didn't you find out that person stole the wooden sword at that time?"
"That person may have used a trick to make the same wooden sword with shadow and put it on the table, I didn't pay attention at the time, I didn't think much about it when I saw that the wooden sword was still there, and then I found out when the shadow art disappeared. ”
"Shadow art can still do things?" I was a little surprised.
"As long as your shadow power is enough, you can use shadow magic to make a physical object, but this physical object appears at different times depending on the amount of shadow power you use, but unfortunately I can't wake up the shadow spirit, and neither can your father. Grandpa sighed.
"Dad, don't talk about this. Dad said as he walked.
"Grandpa told me about our family. I replied.
"Grandpa told you everything. "Grandpa looked at me.
"My shadow spirit was also cast with a shadow chain, and my grandfather said that it was all done by one person, who is this person!" I said.
"No matter who it is, they don't want us to know the secrets of the Xian family. Grandpa shook his head and said.
We walked on the road in the village, today there are people from other places rushing back to the village, there are a lot of people on the road, along the way grandpa is constantly greeting people, dad knows people also calling, I basically don't know, just follow them to say hello, everyone will look at me in surprise, as if I have something special.
"Grandpa, why do they all look at me like they've seen a star, what's so special about me?" I asked.
"Because you are the eldest grandson, the treasures of our family will be left to you in the future, and they have rarely seen you, so they have to take a look. Grandpa said with a smile.
Saying that, we went back to my grandfather's house, and my grandmother greeted me and asked about the situation, and my grandfather shook his head, and my grandmother was very optimistic that the police would definitely help us find it, and we all went upstairs to rest.
When night comes, Chinese New Year's Eve is celebrated, the family is waiting for the New Year in the living room, what is Sun Shiqi thinking about sitting alone on the sofa next to her?
She picked up the phone and went upstairs, and her mother looked at her and tried to say something, but she didn't say it. Our family was watching TV downstairs, and after a while, Sun Shiqi came down from upstairs, her eyes were red, she seemed to have cried, and sat on the sofa next to her.
"What's wrong, Kiki. Mom whispered to Sun Shiqi.
"I called my dad and I missed him. Sun Shiqi said with a smile.
"How's your dad. Mom said.
"He said that the matter is not finished yet, let me stay with you in peace first, and he will take me home when he returns. ”
"Oh, then you can live in peace, remember to tell me something, don't always be alone in your heart, you will be suffocated. ”
Sun Shiqi looked at her mother and nodded, and her mother patted her hand gently.
It was almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Dad took out a lot of firecrackers and fireworks from the house, let us go out, Sun Shiqi and I put the fireworks in Grandpa's yard, one by one the fireworks were scattered in the air, like flowers blooming in the air, every household was setting off firecrackers and fireworks, the night sky was illuminated like day, and the air was full of gunpowder.
Sun Shiqi looked at the fireworks with a rare smile on her face for a long time, she danced like a child, firecrackers have been banned in the city for a long time, the New Year is the same as usual, but every household in the village still sets off firecrackers and fireworks during the New Year.
Today is destined to be a sleepless night, Sun Shiqi and I are arguing like children, I have used firecrackers to scare her, she is waving fireworks back and forth, we are running crazy in the yard, laughter makes us forget all the unhappiness.
Mom and Dad laughed happily as they watched us play.
Early the next morning, my mother told us to get up, this time Sun Shiqi did not get up earlier than me, I both came out of the house with sleepy eyes, looking at Sun Shiqi just got up, her hair was scattered, rubbing her eyes, yawning, I felt like a family now.
When Sun Shiqi saw me, she seemed to realize something, and suddenly said a little embarrassed.
"Knock knock, Happy New Year. She walked briskly to the bathroom. I had to go to the bathroom on the third floor.
After cleaning up, I went downstairs to see that my grandmother had already made breakfast, Sun Shiqi came down from upstairs, had already made up, coiled her hair, wearing an infrared suit, looking radiant, but her eye circles were a little dark, it seemed that she didn't get enough sleep last night.
After eating, my father took out two red envelopes, one for me and one for Sun Shiqi, Sun Shiqi was still a little embarrassed when she received the red envelope, and her father asked her to take it. Grandpa also gave one of us a red envelope, Sun Shiqi shirked and didn't want to accept it, but her mother forced her to accept it.
Our family went to grandpa's house to pay New Year's greetings, just entered the yard and felt that it was already crowded, the small yard was surrounded by water, and the younger generations had many relatives and friends who came to pay New Year's greetings to grandpa.
We are paying New Year's greetings to Grandpa at home, and we salute Grandpa one by one. We are the first, to grandpa New Year's greetings, grandpa sent me a red envelope, Sun Shiqi to grandpa alone New Year's greetings, grandpa also gave her a red envelope, everyone looked at Sun Shiqi was very curious, pointing and saying something.
After each family paid New Year's greetings to Grandpa, Grandpa returned to the Westinghouse, and Mom and Aunt began to prepare lunch, and a few large round tables were set up in the courtyard. At this time, the second grandfather came up to me and asked Sun Shiqi and I to go to the Westinghouse to find my grandfather, saying that my grandfather had something to say to us.
We walked into Grandpa's house under the watchful eyes of the other great-grandchildren.
"Grandpa, what are you looking for me? I looked at my grandfather and said.
"Knock knock, how is your body? Grandpa looked me up and down and said.
I stretched out my arm and spun around.
"It's okay. ”
"I called you here to give you a New Year's present. Grandpa said mysteriously.
Sun Shiqi and I looked at Grandpa's eyes widen.
"What a gift. I asked curiously.
Grandpa stood up, opened a drawer on the bedside table, rummaged through it for a while, took out a small wooden box from it, closed the drawer, and showed us the wooden box.
"What is this?" I looked at the wooden box, and there was nothing special.
Grandpa gently unwrapped the lid of the wooden box, and two things were wrapped in red cloth. Grandpa Tai took out a red cloth bag, gently opened the red envelope covering it, and revealed a piece of jade, which was moist and shiny as if it had been immersed in water. , the color is emerald green, and it emits a burst of aura.
The shape of this jade made me suddenly a little surprised, Sun Shiqi seemed to have discovered that the shape of this jade was not ordinary, the shape of this jade is the shape of an animal at the top of the stone pillar in the dream, although I don't know what kind of animal it is, but it shouldn't be wrong.
When Grandpa saw our expressions, he seemed to know what we were thinking.
"Did I see it in a dream? ”
Sun Shiqi and I looked at Grandpa Tai and nodded.
"It is also one of the treasures of the family, this is Bai Zeyu. The shape of this piece of jade looks like a bird, but it is actually the ancient mythical beast Bai Ze, which is the symbol of the Shadow Witch Clan, and it is also the illusion of the Shadow Witch ancestors, becoming the totem of the Shadow Witch Clan. ”
"Then what is the purpose of this Bai Zeyu. I asked.
"Bai Zeyu can help cultivators improve their shadow power. ”
Sun Shiqi and I looked at Bai Zeyu in amazement, so amazing.
"I'm going to give it to you as a New Year's gift. Grandpa said with a smile.
"Grandpa, keep it for yourself. I said.
"I don't need it now, I'm old, leave it to you, you can achieve more. ”
Grandpa said and handed Bai Zeyu to me, I took Bai Zeyu, and suddenly Bai Zeyu's slight glow gradually became more and more dazzling, and the room was dazzling.
Grandpa Tai and Sun Shiqi both looked at me in surprise, and my body gradually emitted a faint light.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with me. ”
