Chapter 17: A True Gift

When the gold wire glasses handed over the box to Zhang Yuan before, Zhang Yuan didn't care much, he also gently checked the small wooden box at that time, it was fluttering, I don't know what was inside, it seems that the small wooden box is not locked, I think it should not be a valuable thing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking back now, since he first met Aggreko, Aggreko had given himself two things before and after. The first time was a million-dollar check, saying it was a greeting gift. And the second time, including the estate, plus the deposits in the bank, can reach almost $100 million worth of assets.

Two gifts, each more expensive than the other, the second time is almost equivalent to giving himself a new life, and now Alec's last gift to himself...... I don't think it's supposed to be an ordinary thing.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan's heart once again jumped wildly, speaking of which, the number of his heartbeats has always increased sharply recently, obviously the city is too shallow, and the cultivation is far from being in place, when can Taishan collapse in front of him without changing his face, that time is really practiced.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm his mood, Zhang Yuan began to observe the small wooden box.

He couldn't tell what was wooden, but it shouldn't be a short time, there was no lock on it, just a small wooden strip stuck on it. Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand to lift the small wooden strip slightly, pulled it out of the card slot, and then reached out to cut the small wooden box open.

Inside the small wooden box was a letter and a small fruit.

The fruit, which he recognized, was that of an oak tree, round and sleek with fine fluff at one end, and smooth and woody at the other.

He didn't touch the fruit, but picked up the envelope.

This envelope was obviously some years old, the paper was yellowed, and it felt so crispy in his hand that he didn't dare to use any effort for fear of breaking the paper.

Carefully opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, spread it flat on his lap, and Zhang Yuan began to read it word by word.

Westerners also use a variety of fonts when writing, just like the wild grass in calligraphy, sometimes it is really difficult to read, Zhang Yuan also has a good level of English, so he can barely read it.

Written on the top are the words "written to my respected friend", and Zhang Yuan was a little confused.

Then scroll down to the text.

"By the time you read this letter, I may have been dead for many years. I don't know what your name is, I don't even know your age, your looks, or your personality, but one thing I know is that we must be the same kind of people......"

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he seemed to have guessed the identity of the author of the letter.

"I've arranged for Lacey to help me find it, and I'm not sure how many years it will take. However, no matter how long it takes, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you anymore, so I can't tell you a lot of things in person, which will be the biggest regret of my life......

If you read this letter and it means that Lacey has found you, then I am relieved. Lacey is a good man, he has followed me for ten years without regrets, so please be kind to him, and if you can, it is best to help him find a stable job and build a stable family......

My time is running out, and the bullets are constantly eating away at my life...... That seed is a very important thing, everything I give you is in the seed, if it were you, you would definitely understand...... Our mission is to maintain the balance of nature, which has long been disrupted by humans...... So, let's live well and pass on our traditions, that's my greatest wish......"

The text on the letter paper was very neat at first. But from the middle, the handwriting starts to get sloppy. By the end of the day, there were even serious traces of dragging the pen, and it was clear that the author of the letter had come to an end of his life by the time he finished writing it.

Zhang Yuan looked at the title of the book at the end, and could barely recognize the English letters, and it took him a lot of effort to barely recognize them - "Mersis D. Sain".

"Sure enough......"

Zhang Yuan nodded silently.

He basically guessed the source of the letter from the first two sentences, and the content and signature at the end confirmed his suspicion, the letter was indeed from his predecessor, Mersis, the original owner of the manor.

And the Lacey in the letter should be Alec's great-grandfather.

What does it mean ...... just the content of the letter, "Everything I have given you is in the seed"?

Zhang Yuan put down the letter with some confusion and reached out to pick up the acorn in the wooden box. I was still guessing in my heart, could it be that there was some treasure map hidden in the fruit or the password could not be made?

As a result, the moment his fingers touched the fruit, the fruit seemed to come alive and jumped directly into his palm. At the same time, an idea appeared in Zhang Yuan's consciousness out of thin air. Zhang Yuan's whole person was stunned, his eyes were dull, and his expression was stiff, like a vegetative person. It took him a moment before he woke up.

Then he jumped out of bed at the first moment, and the wind rushed out of the villa.

At this time, the sun had already set, and the dark sky was full of stars, dotted with a sea of stars.

The plains of the river valley are very calm, and the night breeze blows a little cooler. In the distance, there are all kinds of animal calls in the dense forest, which is a peaceful natural scenery.

But Zhang Yuan was not in the mood to pay attention to all this at the moment, he came to the grass behind the villa, carefully measured it with his legs, and after identifying the position, he gently pressed the fruit in his palm into the soil.

Then he stood up, his arms outstretched, and spat out a series of awkward words from his mouth, following the prompts of the thought in his mind.

It was unlike any language Zhang Yuan knew, and he swore he had never heard of it. But it is this kind of awkward language that gives people a strange sense of beauty. And as this awkward language continued to spit out, the mutation finally happened.

The entire river valley plain, including the surrounding mountain peaks, had countless green points of light slowly rising, like fireflies, dense and innumerable. The number of them is even denser than the stars in the sky, making it difficult to tell where the real starry sky is.

As soon as these small points of light appeared, they began to gather towards Zhang Yuan's side, to be precise, towards the acorn. Then they sank into the acorns and disappeared.

In the next second, the ripe acorn began to grow rapidly, first growing green shoots, just like all new leaf buds. Then this little sprout began to grow wildly, growing to one, two, three, five, ten meters at a speed visible to the naked eye......

In front of Zhang Yuan's eyes, in less than a minute, the small acorn fruit grew into a giant tree that was difficult for ten people to embrace, and then the giant tree began to wither, a large number of leaves fell off, the trunk began to wither, and in the same time, a huge oak tree finally collapsed. The collapsed part melts into the dirt the moment it touches the ground, just like the countless blades.

There was only one stump left in front of Zhang Yuan, but there was not only one stump, there were two other things on the stump, namely a small green ball of light, and a small wooden box the size of a lunch box.

This is the real gift that Alec left him, a gift from Mersis that spans a hundred years.
