Chapter 5: Strange Tablets

"Grandpa, your hand is too good, how can you practice?" Looking at his grandfather's flowing pouring action, He Kun exclaimed

"Hehe, after drinking wine for so many years, coupled with the design of this wine jar, practice makes perfect, okay...... Come and try it and see what it tastes like. The old man was very happy that others praised his craftsmanship, and poured a cup for He Kun to taste.

He Kun picked up the wine glass, a stronger aroma of wine greeted him, the gray-brown wine seemed to have a kind of life rippling in it, slightly rippling, along the edge of the glass, a gentle sip, a kind of sweetness burst out in the mouth. Slipped down the throat into the body, and for a while all kinds of indescribable feelings of refreshment emerged, and then the unique aroma of medicinal wine instantly wandered in the mouth, and the pores of the whole body instantly expanded.

"Good wine, it's not an exaggeration to describe it as a jade liquid, grandpa, let's have another cup to taste" He Kun asked his grandfather for wine with a shy face.

"Hahaha, that's right, this wine, tell you, the craftsmanship and recipe of this winemaking have been passed down together with the wine jar, and now there is no one else in the village who knows this brewing process except your grandfather." The old man said to He Kun very proudly.

"That's a good dare, hehe. If nothing else, there will be no job in the future, and you can make a fortune just by brewing this kind of wine. He Kun was recently stimulated by finding a way to make money, and when he saw that this wine was so delicious, he immediately flashed this thought.

"Hmph...... Always thinking about making money with the things left by your ancestors, I don't think even your father is as good as your father.

Besides, the medicinal materials needed for this medicinal wine are very difficult to find, and sometimes the amount of medicinal materials needed for a jar of medicinal wine cannot be found for several years. When the old man heard He Kun's words, he was very angry, and stared at He Kun with a contemptuous face.

"There are a lot of medicinal herbs planted outside. Even ginseng can be mass-produced, although the efficacy is almost worse, but the amount is large, isn't it said as the saying goes, diligence can make up for clumsiness, a group of ants can bite an elephant to death, and the same medicinal herbs are not effective. Then let's make up for it 5 times and 10 times? He Kun was now full of money, and he didn't notice his grandfather's contemptuous gaze at all, and continued to expound his thoughts, busy helping his grandfather come up with ideas.

"No...... the number and year of medicinal materials are particular, and the proportion of the formula is exchanged for how many generations of practice, you think that you are smart, others are fools, really like you said, why is the wild ginseng sold so expensive, why not buy a few catties of home-grown and chew slowly, really, I said what do you learn outside the mountain every day, is it all shit in your head?" The old man saw that He Kun was getting more and more energetic, looking like a little money fan, and he didn't get angry.

Uh, ......, He Kun only noticed at this time that his grandfather didn't support his ideas at all, except that a blow is a blow, after saying a reason, He Kun's money-making sprouts were extinguished again, planting vegetables is also, and making wine is also, He Kun couldn't help muttering, "Is it really that I only have the life to go to work?" Thinking about everything out of tune? ”

"Muttering... Say something, come, drink. When the old man saw He Kun hear what he said, he looked wilted, and he couldn't bear to continue to fight, so he immediately shouted He Kun to drink.

After hearing his grandfather's shout, He Kun slowly came back to his senses from his contemplation, smelling the aroma of medicinal wine on the table, hey... It's better to have wine today and get drunk today.

"Grandpa, grandma, I salute you two elders with this glass of wine, and wish you a long life and good health. The grandchildren will not go anywhere in the future, and strive to let the two of you hug your great-grandson as soon as possible. He Kun knew that it was useless to think too much, so he got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind and regained his spirits.

"Haha, okay, this grandson was not raised in vain, come, grandpa will accompany you to make this cup." The old man was very happy to see He Kun regain his vitality and know that He Kun had dispelled some unrealistic ideas.

"Drink less, eat more, Kunkun. Don't fight with your grandfather, your grandfather is a big wine jar, and his biggest hobby is drinking. After grandma finished speaking, she took a piece of He Kun's favorite hare meat and put it into his bowl, looking at He Kun with a look of pity.

"Your grandmother is right, you can't drink too much of this medicinal wine, drinking a few glasses is very good for the body, and if you drink too much, the body can't accept it and it will become poison, you see you...... After only drinking 3 cups, his face was flushed, his qi and blood were swollen, and his weakness was not replenished. I don't know what you're doing when you're working outside, you're in such poor health, come ...... Bring the liquor you brought, and let's have some fun. ”

After speaking, the old man put away the wine jar. looked at He Kun with a strange look of thoughtfulness, you know, I know.

Belch...... He Kun himself also felt it, although he was not an alcoholic, but he usually drank some liquor between friends and colleagues, and he could get more than half a catty, why did he only drink 3 glasses now and clearly felt a heat in his body, and his whole body became hot.

Thinking about it, He Kun blushed, in the past few years, there has been no night between him and his girlfriend, and after work, he can't wait to make up for the previous 18 years at once.

As the saying goes, a drop of essence has 10 drops of blood, and it has been consumed too much in the past three years, no wonder the body is so bad now, grandpa is right, the void is not replenished, He Kun was a little embarrassed when he thought of the look in his grandfather's eyes just now. Then he got up and went to get a bottle of Wuliang liquid that he brought this time.

Looking at the liquor in the cup, He Kun suddenly felt a little tasteless, this person is like this, he is used to a good day and then ask him to start from the bitter again, it must not work, I used to feel that this wine is old, all kinds of praise is not too much to use on it, and now after comparison, I suddenly feel how low my taste was before.

As time went by, grandma had begun to clean up the dining table, He Kun sat on the edge of the brazier with a lazy look, holding the tongs and fiddling with the charcoal in the brazier for a while, the whole person looked very lazy, until this time, the stamina of the medicinal wine began to slowly emanate and be slowly absorbed by the body, which made He Kun feel very comfortable.

Sitting in the hall, He Kun chatted with his grandfather, and the old man went to the village to discuss various matters in the village during the New Year, and greeted He Kun before going out, "I haven't come back for a few years, I will go to the ancestral hall to worship my ancestors, and by the way, clean up and make a snack." ”

After He Kun heard what his grandfather said, he eased his drinking strength in the house, and then went to the utility room to find cleaning utensils and went to the He family ancestral hall in the center of the village.

He's ancestral hall looks very quaint, I heard my grandfather say, when the ancestors came here to build a village, they built the ancestral hall, maybe the old people pay more attention to traditional things, the ancestral hall after so many years, the protection is still very perfect, there is no trace of corruption.

Walking to the door of the ancestral hall, He Kun picked up the key handed by his grandfather before leaving, opened the copper lock and walked in.

The innermost layered wooden table enshrines the ranks of the ancestors of the He family, and He Kun walked into a few steps to look at the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors on the altar, which are engraved with the names of the ancestors of the He family.

He Kun looked at it carefully and muttered, "Ancestors bless, if you don't want your descendants He Kun to come to clean up, I hope the ancestors will not blame." With He Kun's chanting, the atmosphere of the entire ancestral hall suddenly became solemn, and there was a different kind of gaze looking at He Kun.

For a while, He Kun's goosebumps all over his body rose, his breathing became involuntarily short, and the ancestral hall suddenly felt empty, time seemed to stand still suddenly, and his body was not under his control.

He Kun is very scared now, so he can only keep cheering himself up in his heart, it's okay, this is the ancestor who is paying attention to me, it is his own relatives, it will be fine.

I don't know how long it took, the strange atmosphere in the ancestral hall suddenly dissipated, and He Kun's body returned to his control, at this time He Kun's back was covered with sweat, and he was obviously frightened, and all the remaining wine strength had disappeared.

He Kun took a long breath, moved his hands and feet, and didn't dare to stay here any longer, just when He Kun just wanted to pull out his legs and go out, in the dark, there was a voice in his heart reminding He Kun, "This is your own ancestors, your ancestors will never harm yourself, even your ancestors are afraid of what kind of descendants, the old ancestors must have not seen themselves for a long time, care about yourself, you can't hurt the hearts of your ancestors"

Thinking like this, He Kun suddenly didn't feel scared, knelt down on the pu mat in front of the tablet again, kept chanting to the ancestor in his heart, begging for the forgiveness of the ancestor, and by the way, he said some gains and losses outside over the years, and finally wished the ancestor to bless the surviving He family, after saying a lot of miscellaneous gossip, He Kun felt much more comfortable.

After He Kun worshiped his ancestors again, he immediately got up, picked up a clean towel and began to wipe the ancestral tablet, wiping it while muttering about how well-behaved he was, how much his ancestors blessed, and so on.

When wiping to the middle position, He Kun suddenly found that there was a tablet in the middle of the offering table, which was a little different from the other tablets on the side, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find any difference at all.

He Kun wiped it on the side, if you look at it from the front, you can't notice any difference at all, but once you get to He Kun's angle, you can find the problem.

The ancestors' tablet production is more particular, the size, shape, and wood materials are well documented, but this special tablet base is thickened, and then the four corners of the base are removed, and the height looks the same in the distance, no wonder no one has found it.

Just like the same car, the height and style are the same, but if you increase the body of one of the cars, remove the wheels, and put it in the same pile, if you don't look closely, no one will know that one of them has no wheels and the body is heightened.

Seeing this special style of tablet, He Kun couldn't hold back his curiosity, walked closer, picked up the tablet, and saw the words He Xiaotian written on it, and there were some completely incomprehensible symbols carved under the base of the tablet, which was a bit of an oracle bone inscription in it.

He Kun couldn't help but have some questions in his heart, thinking about writing it down with his mobile phone, going back to check on the Internet, and seeing if he could find anything, just after taking a photo and about to put the tablet back in its place, He Kun just raised his hand, didn't pay attention to touching the corner of the table, and suddenly didn't hold it steady, and the tablet slipped from his hand to the ground.

"Bang ,......"

He Kun was startled, quickly looked up and looked around, and began to worry that the ancestors would blame him, so he hurriedly kept shaking his hands.

"Don't blame, don't blame, my grandson didn't mean it, there are a lot of adults, don't be like me." After speaking, he quickly squatted down to pick up the strange tablet that had fallen, and wiped the dust.

"Hey, there's a crack in the middle, if this is known to grandpa and old ladies, it will be fine." Thinking of his grandfather's face that wanted to eat people, and his behavior after being angry, the cold sweat that had just disappeared behind his back came out again.

After He Kun thought of this, he was very anxious, what is this, what is this, the subconscious force in his hand squeezed from both sides to the middle, as if he could squeeze this seam back, just at the tense moment of worrying and fearing.

"Click".

The crack was closed, so tightly closed that I couldn't see the crack just now.

No, I have such a big hand, after thinking about it, it shouldn't be like this, He Kun looked at the strange tablet curiously, could it be that this tablet has a mezzanine mechanism, He Kun's hands began to grope on the tablet, and suddenly, He Kun touched a small raised point under the tablet and pressed it hard.

"Click"

The familiar voice sounded again, and the tablet opened a gap as He Kun imagined.

"Sure enough, there is a mechanism, but who will do anything on the ancestral tablet. What kind of purpose does it have, and what will be in the mechanism that has been painstakingly made? He Kun's questions became heavier and heavier, and his courage became bigger and bigger.

He Kun couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and after closing the door, he carefully opened it along the gap, and found that there was a roll of things wrapped in silk hidden inside, gently put down the tablet, and slowly opened it in the direction of the silk package. As the layers were peeled off, a white jade bottle as smooth as jade with delicate tentacles flashed in front of He Kun's eyes.

"It's so beautiful, this jade bottle is so beautiful, the four words of round Tiancheng can completely describe this thing, there is no trace of workmanship, as if it was born and naturally formed, beautiful."

Looking at this unusual white jade bottle, He Kun couldn't help but have some questions in his heart, who did it and put it in the tablet with all the effort? And what is the meaning of the symbol that resembles the oracle bone script, as the questions become more and more, He Kun is more eager to find out what is going on.
