Chapter 2: The Ethereal Ring

Qingshi Village is located in HY City, south of the Yangtze River, with few people and many reservoirs and fertile land. The terrain belongs to the hilly area, and it is said that it is the land of fish and rice. Six kilometers to the north of Qingshi Village is the primeval forest of Zhurong Mountain, which covers an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers, and 50 kilometers to the south is the famous Dongting Lake.

Behind the courtyard where Liu Xing's grandfather lived is the rolling purple-black hilly area, although the terrain is not high, but it is a barren purple sand land without growing grass, at a glance, the purple-red and purple-red sand has continued to the primeval forest of Zhurong Mountain.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of September 2, Liu Xing returned to the courtyard where his grandfather lived.

Hometown timidity.

Liu Xing, who was carrying heavy luggage, did not feel the caring greetings of the uncles and uncles gathered around him, only the strange and cold gaze.

"What the hell is going on?"

Liu Xing was very surprised, and muttered to himself. When I was admitted to QH University, my uncles and uncles were very enthusiastic about him.

"Brother!" A handsome girl dressed as a junior high school student ran out of the crowd, pulled the puzzled Liu Xing aside, stood on tiptoe and whispered the reason in his ear.

"Lan Lan, you mean them" Liu Xing's sharp eyes followed his uncle's gaze to the Eight Immortals table in the main hall of the courtyard.

Originally

His uncles were still thinking about the contents of a mahogany box left to him by his grandfather on the table of the Eight Immortals.

"They're too shameless!" Liu Xing was sad and indignant, and took advantage of the fact that the old village chief Tang Jingshu, a notary, walked to the table of the Eight Immortals in front of all the ill-intentioned relatives, and resolutely opened the mahogany box.

Whew-

Quiet all around.

All the eyes of everyone who were waiting for this scene were focused on the mahogany box in Liu Xing's hand.

No hustle and bustle, no surprises, there was only a ring with a bronze glow in the mahogany box.

The ring jade dragon mouth is slender and slender, except for a somewhat complicated rune on the front, there is nothing special.

Underneath the ring lies a suicide note that looks like someone has opened.

"Did you like this ring that my grandfather gave me?" Liu Xing held the ring in his hand, looked around with sharp and deep eyes, and spoke in a stern tone with questioning.

Quietly, no one made a sound.

Everyone knows that this bronze ring has no other purpose than a little older, not even an antique. Many of them have secretly asked an antique dealer to evaluate that this is a worthless bronze ring. However, their fanatical eyes did not leave the suicide note in Liu Xing's hand, because they knew that the old man's money might be inside.

In full view.

Liu Xing's fair-skinned Chinese face, which lacked sunlight because he had been sitting in the office for a long time, had a rather angry expression and even a little hideous. When Grandpa was alive, these uncles and uncles had already found out the bottom of Grandpa's property in detail, how could he not know the thoughts of these relatives.

It seems that if you don't want to open the suicide note in front of them today, I'm afraid that your family will have a hard time in the future. Spit on the stars will drown people.

Pifu is not guilty, he is guilty, he will not make such a low-level mistake.

The suicide note was opened, and Liu Xing put the bronze ring on his ring finger, but the person was stunned.

There was no passbook, bank card or anything like that Uncle Liu Xing's uncle imagined in the letter.

There are only a few yellowed photos of him crawling on the ground when he was a child, and a thousand words from his grandfather's heartfelt heart on three pages of letterhead.

Liu Xing looked at the suicide note and was silent for a long time, two lines of tears in the corners of his eyes flowed down at some point, and his choked whole body trembled slightly.

It turned out that in the suicide note, the grandfather knew everything that Liu Xing, the eldest grandson, had experienced in the past three years. Grandpa knew that his body would pass away soon, and he missed the days when he lived with Liu Xing when he was a child. Helplessly, Liu Xing was far away from home, and it was impossible to see him, so for the sake of his favorite grandson, he left his residence and an ethereal ring that never left him as a souvenir after his death

The ethereal ring is the bronze ring that Liu Xing wears on his hand.

"Show me what's in it?"

The envelope was taken away by the short and fat aunt Liu Jinhua to watch it carefully, and the monkey was anxious to think that Liu Xing was excited to see the millions of inheritances, so he cried.

When she saw that there was nothing she wanted inside, Liu Jinhua angrily threw the suicide note on the ground. No one doubted the dilapidated courtyard house and an inconspicuous bronze ring that was left to Liu Xing in the suicide note. They just said that the old man doted on Liu Xing before he was terminally ill, and no one cared about it.

However, Liu Xing knew his grandfather's thoughts, and his grandfather wanted to give him all the good times he had in the courtyard and lived together before, as a souvenir.

suddenly

He froze.

I saw that not long after the ring was put on his ring finger, a heart-wrenching pain spread to Liu Xing's cranial nerves. Before he could react, he only heard a "boom", and a beautiful pastoral landscape about a kilometer square appeared in his sea.

Inside, there is a green mountain with undulating peaks, the top of the mountain is covered with snow, and a small waterfall half-runs out of the mountainside, and gathers into a small pond with the sound of rushing water. The pond is crystal clear, and strange pebbles lie irregularly in it

This is

In the story of grandpa, the legend is that the space gathering ring has become a world of its own!

Liu Xing howled and cried, and suddenly remembered the words of anger with his grandfather before graduating from college

At the beginning, his grandfather wanted to keep him by his side to start a business in his hometown, and said that he would give him a big surprise after three years. At that time, he was yearning for the bustling city, and how could he have the heart to stay in the countryside. For this matter, he and his grandfather had a quarrel for the first time, and they hadn't seen each other once in three years, and they didn't even say a word of blessing to him at the New Year's dinner last year.

But

When grandpa was dying, he still thought about him so much, even if he didn't stay with his grandfather to start a business, the surprise to him still came as scheduled.

Liu Xing cried more and more, and the tears of regret were like a flood that burst the embankment.

Helplessly, the deceased has passed away, and his most beloved grandfather has been separated from heaven and earth, and it is impossible to go back to the past. The only thing he has to do now is to listen to his grandfather's advice to him three years ago, stay in the countryside, and fulfill his grandfather's long-cherished wish.

Tang Jingshu, the respected former village head, is also the fair person of this inheritance, he touched his gray beard and walked to Liu Xing's side on crutches, and persuaded him earnestly: "Liu Xing, your grandfather left you only this inheritance, don't cry so sadly, you are still young, and you are the only famous college student in the village, it is not easy to make money, don't look at this little benefit in front of you." ”

"Don't look at this little benefit in front of you" Liu Xing stopped crying in amazement, tasting the words of the old village chief Tang Jingshu, and his heart almost didn't spurt blood.

How could he be the same as those uncles? What is the inheritance is only these, the ethereal ring left to him by his grandfather is already the wealth of the rich country in this world!

But he wasn't in the mood to bother with those words right now.

When he looked up, except for his parents, younger siblings, and those relatives without exception, the disdainful eyes of those relatives made Liu Xing instantly understand what they were thinking, that is, he came back in such a hurry to come back for his grandfather's property.

"Hahaha"

There was silence in the courtyard at first, and then there was a burst of wanton ridicule from relatives, as if Liu Xing's relatives had found some balance in Liu Xing's crying.

The laughter

Meaningful. After laughing, they dissipated in a noisy manner, which was no longer profitable.

People go to the courtyard empty, the courtyard is quiet, and only Liu Xing's family is left in the quaint courtyard.

Liu Xing's father, Liu Quan, took a few puffs of dry cigarettes, walked in front of Liu Xing with a frown, picked up his grandfather's suicide note on the ground for him, and sighed: "Xing Wazi, don't be sad, the courtyard left by your grandfather can be cleaned up, and it can be worth a few dollars." ”

Liu Xing didn't understand the meaning of Liu Quan's words, only said comforting words, nodded silently, took the suicide note in Liu Quan's hand, and walked into a small room in the courtyard alone, the tall figure looked a little lonely under the sunbath in the west.

All he has to do now is to pack up his mood, take care of his body, and then make a big splash in the vast countryside. With the Ethereal Ring in his hand, he's been working hard in the city for nearly three years, to hell with it!

Liu Xing secretly swore in his heart that he must be the first person in the countryside.

As the sun sets, the bright red sunlight shines on the beautiful land of Qingshi Village.

Liu Lanlan followed behind Liu Quan, obediently returned to the red brick house on the col opposite the Qingyu Reservoir, and her smart eyes looked at the room where Liu Xing stayed in the courtyard from time to time.

There was a deep worry in her heart.

When the second brother Liu Hang got married, his sister-in-law Niu Mengmeng occupied the room belonging to the eldest brother on the grounds that the marriage room was too small, and the grandfather was not angry to death, but was killed by a shotgun for a local dog.

If these are known to the eldest brother, with the temper of the eldest brother, the consequences will be unimaginable
