"Shake, what's wrong with Grandma? Isn't it good to have just come back? I rushed forward and helped my grandmother leaning against me.

"I don't know, the old lady will be in bed when I come back."

"What's going on?" I put my grandmother on her back and patted her back.

"Girl, grandma is a little tired and wants to rest." Grandma still spoke to me so kindly.

"No, grandma, we don't sleep, can I tell grandma a story?" I frantically searched through my memories for the stories my grandmother had told me.

Grandma raised her hand, and I hurriedly reached over and held it tightly with my grandmother's hand.

"Huaxi, Chuntao, you two go out first, let Mu Qian accompany me for a while."

"Whoa."

The two of them withdrew from the room, and closed the door together as they went out.

"Grandma, what do you want to say?"

"Grandma's life is short, there is no way to protect you......"

I shook my head desperately: "No, no, grandma, my father just left, you can't ...... Can't ...... like that."

"Girl, come, don't cry, sit in front of grandma."

I whimpered and held my grandmother's head and lay on the bed, and sat down in front of her, twitching and swaying my shoulders.

Grandma reached out and wiped the tears from my face.

"Girl, what grandma says to you next is very important, you must remember it, but you must also remember that you can't tell anyone." Grandma spoke sonorously and forcefully, and I was absolutely convinced.

"Okay, Grandma, I got it."

"You just asked Grandma today why the families are willing to help us, do you remember how Grandma answered?"

"Grandma, you didn't answer, grandma just said that they were in awe and awe of you."

A smile appeared on Grandma's pale face: "Help Grandma take out a small sachet from inside her clothes."

"Okay." I got up and went down to find my grandmother's unused clothes.

"Girl, it's grandma's clothes."

I had no choice but to sit back quickly, hesitated, reached out and took out the clothes that my grandmother had put aside, carefully groped for every inch of fabric in them with my hands, and finally touched something about the size of a palm in the armpit of the middle coat.

"Take it out."

I took out the little object as I said, and it was an ordinary sachet. I suppressed the curiosity in my heart and handed the contents to my grandmother.

"You take it, you don't have to give it to me." Grandma coughed again, and I put down the sachet in my hand and hurried to pour water.

Luckily, the water on the table was still hot, and I held my teacup and drank a little water from my grandmother.

"What is this?"

I picked up the sachet on the quilt again, and looked closely, the sachet was pink, and there was a lotus flower embroidered on it, and I didn't find anything different.

"Ahem, open it."

I put it on top of the quilt, opened the bag, and saw that inside was a copper bell with a red rope tied to it.

"Grandma, what is this bell for?"

"Kill."

When I heard my grandmother's answer, I was so frightened that I threw the bell in my hand to the ground, and the sound of the bell was so crisp and pleasant that I quickly covered my grandmother's ears until the bell stopped.

I poked out to see the bell, and nothing happened. He looked down at my grandmother's smiling face, and then took my hand down.

"How can it be so simple to kill someone, listen to the sound of the bell and kill someone?"

"That, this, this...... What is it? Isn't it making grandma's health worse and worse? ”

Speaking of this, Grandma's expression suddenly became solemn.

"It's okay with this bell, pick it up."

I kicked it tentatively and picked it up when I was sure it was okay.

"Flowery is your mother's man, and I'm not in good health because they gave me chronic poison."

The grandmother on the bed calmly recounted what had happened for so long, and I sat on the side, from disbelief to horror, and then to calm, until at last I had cleared up the series of events.

On the way, I kept holding the bell tightly in my palm, and I didn't let go of my fingers even though there was a thin layer of sweat in my palm.

Bells are generally cast from brass composed of copper and zinc elements. Better yet, it is made of metallic silver, the so-called "silver bell-like sound".

But my grandmother said that this bell was not just made of these things, although it was small, it had human bones in it.

The hardness of human bones is based on the thickness of the bones, and the hardest ones should be the bones of the limbs, including the bones of the fingers.

Grandma said that if you want to burn the human body and bones into powder, it needs a very high temperature, and this bell was brought back by my grandfather when he was about to die, and Chun Tao also came to Mufu at that time.

My grandfather entrusted the bell he brought back to his grandmother at the time, along with Chun Tao. At that time, my mother had just conceived me, and Chun Tao was already three years old.

At that time, my family was not an official family, but a brewing business. The origin of the bell and the spring peach, my grandfather didn't have time to say, but said that this bell is an evil thing, there are human bones in it, and the sound is different from other bells.

But at that time, my grandmother just didn't hear the difference, until two years after I was born, my family's sake shop got better and better, and my grandmother tried and tested again and again in order to make better wine.

Sake brewing requires raw materials, and after repeated experiments by my grandmother, I first made a raw material called koji, and the sake made from it is sweet and fragrant with a long aftertaste.

During the brewing process, Grandma had people make all sorts of things.

Originally, the grain was steamed to make wine, which was the first procedure of grandma's winemaking, and the grain was mixed with koji, and after steaming, it was more conducive to fermentation.

When the half-cooked grain is out of the pot, it is spread on the ground, which is the second process of winemaking, which is the process of mixing, batching, accumulation and pre-fermentation.

The ground where the grain is dried has a special name, called the drying hall.

The earthen pit next to the drying hall is a wine cellar, like a huge wine vat sunk in the ground. The inner walls and the bottom of the cellar are coated with pure yellow clay, which varies from 8 cm to 25 cm thick.

In the cellar is the third stage of winemaking, where the raw materials are fermented.

After fermenting the old brewing mother in the cellar, the feeling of the wine was not right, and in order to get a higher alcohol concentration of liquor, my grandmother made a huge thing called Tianguo.

At that time, my grandmother set up a huge cauldron in the winery, the cauldron was divided into two layers, the lower pot was filled with the sake mother, the upper pot was filled with cold water, the firewood on the pedestal was vigorous, and the gas containing alcohol was cooled by the cold water above, condensed into a liquid, and flowed out of the pipe, which was the last wine.

Wine is divided into strong flavor type, light fragrance type and sauce flavor type, etc., the wine brewed at home belongs to the strong flavor type, and its biggest feature in brewing technology is to use mud cellar to make wine.

This is the proudest thing in my grandmother's life, and she has made the winemaking technique more complete. When my grandmother said this to me while lying on the bed, I could still feel her spirit.

But it was the heavenly pot that grandma made for people to make, the last step of winemaking, which caused a catastrophe.

When I was two years old, I played with my father's winery, holding a handful of wild flowers and weeds. Flowers in the wild can grow to more than half a meter tall.

On the way to the winery, I saw some flowers that were white, a little like a trumpet, and I liked it very much, so I picked a lot of flowers and held them in my hand, and when I couldn't hold them, I asked my father to help me hold them.

Those white flowers were thrown into the pedestal of the cauldron by me when I arrived at the brewery, and the boiling firewood instantly devoured those white flowers, and I was young and ignorant, and I applauded.

I watched the wisps of white smoke coming out of the pedestal, and I excitedly grabbed it with my hands, and then I smelled something different, and then, I didn't know, and it was a month before I woke up again.

I don't remember anything at the time, and I don't know until today what I did.

That flower was a mandala, and when my grandmother came out that day, all I saw was that the people in the whole brewery were convulsing to varying degrees, and I fainted in front of the cauldron.

Grandma also felt dry mouth and throat, difficulty swallowing, and hoarseness.

Grandma tried her best to take me back to the cottage where the winery was resting.

Grandma said that the cloud is light and light, I didn't expect that I would do such a big thing back then.

"Grandma, how did you solve it?"

Grandma said too much and her lips were a little chapped, so I poured another glass of water and fed it to her.

"Chun Tao, she won't be affected by these. It was the one who was saved with her blood. ”

According to grandma's words, there were so many people affected back then, and how much blood would be needed to save people with the blood of Chun Tao.

I shook my hand holding the teacup, and the water spilled on the quilt, smudging it open, and I put down the teacup and hurriedly wiped the water stains on the quilt.

"Is this why Chun Tao is not in good health?"

"Yes, you should also be able to guess how many people were affected back then, after that, your father also retired from officialdom in order to keep this matter a secret, and now only a few old people know."

"Grandma, I still don't understand, what does all this have to do with this bell?"

Grandma's eyes reflected the golden bell, and she slowly raised her hand and knocked it: "Listen well."

I put the bell to my ear and listened with bated breath.

"Ding~Woo......"

"Grandma, there is a voice similar to singing! I heard that! "I couldn't contain my amazement.

"Shh Grandma glanced at the door, and I reacted and covered my mouth.

"After your grandfather gave me this bell, I wore it on my arm all the time, and it can manipulate other people's behavior when used together with plants and food that can cause people to hallucinate."

"So that's what Grandma found out about at that time?"

I just heard the storyteller in the teahouse talk about it, but the storyteller talks about what messy exercises are needed to do it, and I never thought that this little bell could also do it.

Grandma continued: "The people in the brewery were the most serious back then, and those who were serious were in a coma, and the doctor said that they could die at any time. After that, I had people ask specifically about that flower. ”

"What kind of flowers are those white flowers I picked?"

"Mandala."
