Chapter Eighty-One: Totem

"Alas, speaking of this, it's quite tortuous," Director Dong sighed, "There can't be a baby at home, and if there is a treasure, you must not let others know, otherwise there will be trouble," Han Mei's words aroused his thoughts.

"You're right, you're not afraid of thieves stealing, you're afraid of thieves, let people see it, and the rumors will go out, it's strange if you don't covet it!" Zeng Fan expressed sympathy.

"Yes, you don't know, this treasure of my family, since the ancestor passed it down, has been carefully placed in the grandfather's room, and he is not allowed to let others do it at all. It's just that on special days, they will be secretly taken out to worship. After all, this heirloom represents the ancestors, doesn't it? But he was very careful, such a big family, how could there be an impermeable wall? Later, it was still seen,"

"Yo, who is that?"

"Said that it was one of our family members, because it was convenient to get up in the middle of the night, I saw that in my grandfather's house, the lights were still on in the middle of the night, out of curiosity, she secretly went to take a look, and saw that under the light, such a bright and shiny thing, you say, that has not been passed out?"

"This is the trouble, isn't it?"

"Isn't it? In fact, the people with pointed ears are not our people, the common people are busy with food and clothing every day, although they are passed around, but in essence, they have no interest in these antique cultural relics, and the real interest is foreigners. You also know how many national treasures have been robbed of us by the Orientals? How many more cultural relics have the Westerners stolen from us? Just look no further than their museum! ”

"Yes, when I was in Beijing, there was one place I would never go, that was the Old Summer Palace, how many good things were snatched away by them? We don't even have a replica of some national treasures here, so they all went abroad! ”

"Yes, since the news of our family's treasure spread, people have come to the door to inquire about it at the end of three days, and it was fine at first, but then it came to search. The older generation is also out of helplessness, so in order to prevent the family heirloom from being snatched away, they can only bury it deep in the ground," Director Dong recalled.

"Then things changed, and regime changes were very frequent. The last time, in the era of "removing the four olds", my grandfather buried it again. In this way, the secret of the opening of this lid has not been known since my grandfather's generation. The lid is also completely rusted. Otherwise, how can you not know this secret when you say your own things? Alas,"

Director Dong sighed again and again, not knowing whether he regretted the rust of this treasure, or regretted that he didn't know this secret.

"Actually, if you don't know, if you really know this secret, maybe you will cause some trouble in the years to come?" Seeing Director Dong sighing, Zeng Fan hurriedly comforted him.

"That's right," Director Dong agreed, "This baby came to me, and no one knows this secret, I only know careful care, but I have never studied it carefully, thanks to you, thank you, Captain Zeng!" ”

"Hey, what are you thanking for, if you want to say thank you, I have to thank you, you look at me here and study, how can others give us this opportunity? To be honest, if there is no treasure, I don't know what its name is, if I want to say thanks, I have to thank Xiao Zhao, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't necessarily know this secret, so, things in the world can't be explained, sometimes it's a bad thing on the surface, maybe it's a good thing in the back! ”

"Hehe, okay, Xiao Zeng? When did you become a philosopher again? Hearing this, Fang Bojing also smiled,

"Alas, don't make fun of me, what a philosopher, I want to say two good words for Xiao Zhao in disguise, you don't know, when he went back, he was scolded enough by the section chief, I'm afraid that the section chief will be angry, I don't know what to do with him! But you say, if it weren't for his fall, would we know that the lid could be opened? Did you say, Commissar Fang? ”

"Crooked, I don't agree with this statement, although I can go and say a few good words for him, but even then he is a blind cat touching a dead mouse, I ask you, what if this is a porcelain bottle? Then don't you give people eight petals? Yes, Zeng Fan's point of view, Fang Bojing does not fully agree.

"You have a point, but," he paused, "things often depend on the outcome, and the result is not quite satisfactory?" ”

"You can quibble, hey, Director Dong," Fang Bojing changed the topic, 'How did you get your surname Dong?' Why can he, a historian, cast bronzes? I heard that in the past, only princes and nobles could enjoy it, and ordinary people were not allowed to trespass the etiquette system! “

"Hehe, you asked about the son, I really know this, the surname Dong belongs to the emperor's surname," Director Dong smiled, looking proud,

"You know, one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, he has a descendant named Liao Shu'an, and his son is the later Dong's father. Because he studied dragons very much, he was appointed by Emperor Shun as an official of the palace to raise dragons. Under the careful domestication of Dong's father, the dragon learned to perform various dances, which made Di Shun like it very much, so he named Dong's father as the Marquis of Zong Chuan, and also gave him the surname "Dong", and in this way, it has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

"Isn't that right? Master, I've heard that there is no such thing as a dragon in the world. "Han Mei's problem is here again.

"There is no dragon in the world, but it is a collection of all animals," Director Dong explained, "You see, the dragon's horns are like a deer, the mouth is like a crocodile, the head is like a camel, the eyes are like a rabbit, the neck is like a snake, the belly is like a mirage, the scales are like a fish, the claws are like an eagle, the palm is like a tiger, and the ears are like a cow. “

"Hehe, you're so powerful, a dragon, can study so thoroughly?" Han Mei expressed her admiration,

"Hehe, you ask me something else, I really don't know, but because I belong to the dragon, that's why I care about the origin of the dragon, but this genus, just like the surname Dong, is actually not my research, it is all described in the ancient book 'Erya', Captain Zeng, what do you say?"

"You're right, this is the benefit of reading more, but you haven't fully explained just now, why is there no such animal as a dragon, but you are specifically afraid that Father Dong will raise dragons?"

"I really don't know this, could it be that there are really dragons in the world?"

"You're right, the dragon is a totem, a collection of all animals, it represents the general trend, but did you know? The dragon raised by Dong's father at the beginning was not the flying dragon that called the wind and rain, but the horse now?"

"Then according to what you say, my ancestor is a stableman?"

Director Dong is not happy....
