Wrapped in white silk, like a human finger bone, a small section, lying quietly on top of a stack of paper.

Frightened, Assi closed the lid and breathed steadily.

This is grandma's stuff, here's grandma's stuff. Unafraid.

Assi froze and opened the box again.

She touched the finger bone with her index finger, it was cold, but the tentacle was smooth.

It doesn't feel like bone, it's not grainy, it's not rough, it's not bone.

Assi took it out with great audacity.

The knuckle-like thing was in the palm of Axi's hand, about the length of her middle finger, glowing with a bluish-white light, with a bony knuckle, thick at one end and pointed at the other.

It was carved out of some kind of stone.

Fortunately, it's not a real human hand bone.

Assi breathed a sigh of relief, she took the phalanx in her hand and looked at it over and over again. There is nothing on the phalanges. There are no marks or inscriptions, just like real finger bones.

She picked up the stack of papers under her finger bones again.

Characters that I didn't recognize were drawn on it. It's not Chinese characters, it's not oracle bone inscriptions, it's not small seals, it's not all the words that the grandma she's ever seen has written.

It's not like a painting, either. Because there are no regular lines, and there is no beauty, just a line and a line are like written words.

Does Grandma know what this is?

If you know, why have you never taught yourself and Abei?

If Grandma doesn't know, why do you keep these papers?

A few questions popped up in Assi's mind.

What is Grandma's secret?

She flipped through it and suddenly saw a piece of paper sandwiched in the middle, with Chinese characters written on it.

Assi hurriedly pulled out half of it.

She was very careful not to mess with the order of the papers, worried that there was some secret behind the papers, which was related to the order, and if she messed up, she would never find out again.

There was only one place name written on that piece of paper, and there was also a person's name: Luzhou Xingqing, Liang Shaosui.

Luzhou Xingqing?

Where is this? It feels like it's far away.

Liang is young. Judging by the name, you can't tell the men and women, and you can't tell the age.

What does this place name and this person's name mean?

What do they have to do with Grandma? Or rather, what does it have to do with these papers?

Assi put things back as they were, covered the box, and bowed his head in contemplation. The carriage swayed forward, and Yulu sat in front of Axi on the right, and she had been pretending to be unintentional since Assi got on the car and opened the box.

There is no such pattern as the old man said.

The dowry of the third young grandmother is just that, most of them have seen it, and the new box today is also there, and it doesn't seem to have that pattern at present.

Alas.

Yulu sighed in her heart. When will you be able to complete the things that the master has assigned? It's really difficult to search for it every day, but I don't know what to do, and I'm afraid that the third young grandmother will find out that she has a purpose.

After all, now the third young grandmother is the master, holding her own deed of sale.

She also fully believes that if the old man wants to take his deed of sale from the third young grandmother, it is entirely possible that the third young grandmother will return the deed of sale to the master. Therefore, although the nominal master is the third young grandmother, in fact, her master is still the master.

Yulu sighed softly again.

"What's wrong with you?" Assi heard the voice and looked up to ask her.

"Huh?" Yulu was asked unguardedly, and said in a panic: "Ah, slave, slave is fine." ”

Assi glanced at her and didn't ask any more.

Yulu straightened her back, her expression was tense, and she pursed her lips without making a sound.

Ba Shu Province. Luzhou.

A three-in, three-out house, with two big characters at the door: Liang House.

The main house in the inner courtyard.

"Grandma, if you have something to do, you can directly order us, why do you have to do it yourself?" The middle-aged man bitterly persuaded the old woman sitting on the top.

The old woman is more than half a hundred years old, her black hair is mixed with silver hair, her eyes are blazing, her eyebrows are slender, the eyebrows and the corners of her mouth are deeply wrinkled, her body is thin, and her face is very majestic at a glance.

"You don't have to say it." The old woman interrupted the man's speech: "Sixteen years, I can't even find anyone, I still have to go in person." ”

"Grandma!" The middle-aged man had a bitter face and was helpless: "You are so old, can you walk a long way with your body and bones?" So many people have searched for it but haven't found it, where do you look for it? How do you find it? I think, you should enjoy your life at home, and I'll ask someone to find it, okay? It's just to turn over the Dian Mansion, and you must find someone for you, okay? Otherwise, I'll repair a letter to my eldest brother and let ......"

"Don't think your big brother is busy enough?" The old woman raised her voice: "I said, why don't you understand?" I called you here today to talk to you, not to discuss with you. ”

"Grandma, you just told me a thousand times, and I didn't agree with it, and I wouldn't let you go. Second uncle, they definitely don't agree either. The middle-aged man was vaguely impatient, and then muttered in a low voice: "You left like this, let others think of me." ”

Although the old woman is old, her eyes and ears are quite good, and the man's last complaint is that she hears it word for word.

"Liang Da!" The old woman patted the table with her hand and said angrily: "I haven't been back to my parents' house for more than ten years, and I can't go to my relatives?" Do you have to go around yelling at me to find someone? Will it be flexible? Or you will tell me tomorrow that I will die violently. ”

Liang Da was frightened, and hurriedly got up to apologize: "Grandma, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't be angry, I'm not worried that you won't be able to stand it when you go out!" If you have to find someone in person, you have to let my second uncle know about this matter, right? ”

"Nope." The old woman refused without even thinking about it.

"This ......" Liang Da was speechless.

The old woman thought about it and sighed: "Forget it, you can let people look for it again, I'm tired." ”

Liang Da hurriedly responded: "Hey, grandma, you go to rest, I'll arrange someone to go." ”

With that, he turned around and walked out.

The old woman leaned straight back in her chair and lowered her eyes.

It's been sixteen years. The little lady has been missing for sixteen years and has not been heard from.

Since Sister A's news, I have been looking forward to seeing Miss Xiao one day and protecting her.

Every other year, Sister A will send herself a portrait of the little lady, looking at the portrait, it is like watching the little lady grow up little by little, and finally wait until she can go out of the cabinet, she will eliminate all difficulties and make the decision to say goodbye to the second child, but I didn't expect that Wang Laoliu, the turtle son, should accept the marriage of my Liang family, accept the dowry of my Liang family, and get the benefits of my Liang family, but married an impostor.

When I glanced at the tea, my heart was cold. I have to endure it, pretend, and make a look like I'm very close to the imposter - that's the kiss I worked so hard to say for the second child!

This grievance has been in my heart for sixteen years.

Under the pretext that Sister A's granddaughter was lost, she gave the portrait of the little lady to her eldest son Liang Dian and asked him to help find it.

didn't wait to find it, Liang Dian was seriously ill. I then asked my grandson Liang Da to help me find it, but I found it as soon as I found it.

Still no news.

Mrs. Liang looked at the inner room, and in the cage stacked next to the bed, there was a relic left by Sister A, a finger bone carved from jade. Sister said that the little lady also has an identical one, which is a token. It was also the last thing left by that family.

Take it with you and go to the little lady.
