Chapter 3 Jade Ding
[[[cp|:21o|h:14o|a:c|u:c.{0,10}o.{0,10}]]]] There is a Taoist temple that has long been abandoned on the mountain behind Qilian Village.
According to the old people in the village, in the past, when the grass and trees were still vigorous, the Taoist temple incense was prosperous, and people from ten miles and eight towns would come here to offer incense. Later, with the desertification of the land, the people from the surrounding villages continued to move away, and the Taoist temple also declined, and finally even the Taoist priests inside also left, and the Taoist temple was then abandoned. Later, someone in the village built a house to see that the beams, wood, bricks and stones of the Taoist temple were good, so they moved to use it, and gradually, the Taoist temple was left with a foundation overgrown with weeds and a pile of broken bricks and tiles.
Standing on the mountain where the Taoist temple is located, you can look at the distant scenery and enjoy the spectacular scene of the desert sunset, so Cai Hongming often ran here to play in the past.
By chance, there was a well buried in front of the weedy foundation of his current Taoist temple. The well was covered with stone slabs and covered with dirt, and he would not have appeared if he hadn't eaten enough to dig and play.
There is water in the well, and the water quality is sweet and lasts all year round. Later, when the village was short of water, he used a water pipe to bring water to the village, and when he wanted to use it, he used a pump to pump it, saving him the pain of having to carry water from the town to the village every dry season.
After the well, he opened a piece of land in front of the Taoist temple to grow things, mainly sweet potatoes.
When he first came to Qilian Village, there were no sweet potatoes in this place, only potatoes.
In the past, outsiders often ridiculed the locals, "There are three treasures in the farmhouse's hospitality, potato baking, potato stir-frying, and potato soup to drink." ”
From this sentence, we can see the local people's love for potatoes, but unfortunately he doesn't like it, so he specially asked people to send their favorite sweet potatoes from southern Fujian to plant here, after several years of hard work, the sweet potatoes planted let him eat for a year.
When he came to the sweet potato field and looked at the neat sweet potatoes, Cai Hongming's heart was full of pride.
Now that autumn has arrived, the weather is getting colder, and the sweet potato leaves are gradually withering yellow, and you can see the fat sweet potatoes under the withered yellow leaves breaking through the soil and sticking out of the ground.
Cai Hongming walked to a piece of sweet potato that was exposed to the ground, squatted down and dug it. After a while, a palm-sized sweet potato was exposed. When I dug it out, it was about two catties. For these sweet potatoes, he began to water and fertilize them in the spring, and now he has finally harvested them.
After looking at it, he put down the sweet potatoes and ran to a small hut set up on the edge of the sweet potato field to find a hoe to dig the sweet potatoes, and within a few diggings he had already harvested a large number of them.
The year before last, for convenience, he built a wooden house on the original foundation of the Taoist temple to put tools, and occasionally slept here. Here, looking at the stars in the sky at night, blowing the breeze, people have an indescribable pleasure.
After digging up almost a bag of sweet potatoes, Cai Hongming went to the house to find a bag to pack up the large sweet potatoes, leaving some small ones to prepare for the tribute sweet potatoes.
Gong sweet potatoes first need to build a small earthen kiln, then use firewood to burn the earthen kiln to red, then take off the soil clods on top and throw the sweet potatoes in, and then push down the red-hot earthen kiln and cover the sweet potatoes to crush them, and finally cover the outside with a layer of soil so that the heat does not come out. Tribute sweet potatoes are mainly simmered with red-hot soil and firewood ashes inside, so that the sweet potatoes out of the tribute are particularly sweet and delicious, full of innocence and childlike fun, it is the best game to play with friends, Cai Hongming has done this in his hometown in southern Fujian.
To build an earthen kiln, first dig a pit underneath to burn firewood, and then build an earthen kiln with clods of earth on top of the pit.
Therefore, Cai Hongming picked up the hoe and dug into the ground, and after digging twice, he suddenly heard a dark sound.
Not! There seems to be something.
Intrigued, he picked up his hoe and dug down, and in a few moments he dug up a square wooden box from underneath.
The wooden box is about thirty centimeters, the whole body is pitch black, the four corners are covered with bronze, and there is a green copper buckle in front of the box, which looks ordinary, but there is a dark fragrance lingering.
Could it be that you have dug up a treasure?
Cai Hongming raised his eyebrows, and his joy was beyond words. At the moment, he didn't care about any tribute sweet potatoes, and ran to the wooden house with the box in his arms.
Back in the house, he solemnly washed his hands and wiped them clean before opening the copper buckle. A bright light suddenly rushed out of it, but it disappeared in an instant. If you look closely, there is a jade tripod inside, and the jade tripod is stuffed with gold silk and yellow silk, which seems to be to prevent the jade tripod from being harmed. The jade tripod is square, the color is like a green feather, the whole body is round and smooth, and there are inexplicable patterns engraved around it, revealing a simple and heavy majestic atmosphere, a bit like the items of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, he has seen the bronze tripods of the Shang and Zhou dynasties engraved with similar patterns before.
It's big, it's big.
For a while, Cai Hongming's eyebrows fluttered with joy, whether this thing was an item from the Shang and Zhou dynasties or not, only the material of the jade tripod itself was extraordinary.
Hey!
Suddenly, there was a puddle of water as bright as the moonlight in his jade tripod.
Strange, the jade tripod is contained in a box, how can there be water? Could it be the water traces formed by the earth's qi dripping into the box? Cai Hongming thought about it, leaned his nose and sniffed it, feeling that the water in the jade tripod did not have the rotten smell of earthly qi, but had a natural fragrance, which smelled very good.
After thinking about it, he didn't have a solution, so he poured the water inside into the sweet potato field outside, and then wiped the jade dingzai carefully with a paper towel before putting it back in the box, planning to find a place to bury it. This thing must not be exposed to people, or it will be a source of trouble. The ancients said, "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." "It's not unreasonable.
As soon as he put the jade tripod back into the wooden box, suddenly, he saw that the jade tripod actually emitted a bright light in the darkness, which stunned his titanium dog eyes.
He couldn't believe what appeared in front of him, and hurriedly took the jade tripod to a dark corner.
In the dark, the jade tripod emitted a faint light, like a firefly. No wonder when I opened the box, I saw a light rushing out, which turned out to be the light emitted by Yuding in the dark.
If the jade tripod was only a valuable treasure level in his heart just now, then now the jade tripod is a thing in his heart that cannot be measured by money. Have you ever seen jade and light?
Looking at Yuding, he looked around weakly, still a little uneasy, and hurriedly ran out of the house to inspect it, and now there is no one around to put his mind at ease. This thing is too important, if he has no choice but to do it in the future, he will definitely not take it out again, otherwise someone will definitely see that something will happen.
Thinking about it, he re-cloned the box containing the jade tripod, and then dug a pit next to the wooden house to bury the box, so that no one would come here and steal it.
As for the idea of bringing Yuding home, he never thought about it.
Whether it is in the village or in the town, there are people, as long as there are people, Yuding is at risk of being leaked, and he dare not be careless. It's not that he thinks about people's hearts too complicated, it's that people do everything for money now, and he has to be careful.
After burying the jade tripod, he went to pull some sweet potato vines that had not yet completely withered and yellowed, and then walked down the mountain with a large bag of sweet potatoes on his back.
