Earth Chapter 42 Family Background, Inheritance!
Lin Yun followed his grandfather to the old house, the big black dog immediately barked when he heard that someone was coming, and immediately stopped barking when he saw Lin Yun coming, the big black dog was raised by his grandparents, after Lin Yun fed the spiritual liquid a few times, he grew more and more fat and strong, no worse than lions and tigers, and now he often goes to Lin Yun's house to eat, and he doesn't care about his face at all.
Lin Yun followed his grandfather to the bedroom, the old house that had been built for decades was a little dim, and he could only see clearly when he turned on the electric light.
The old man hesitated for a while, but decided to lift the futon, but he didn't expect that under the bed was not empty, but a huge wooden box.
Then he opened the box again, revealing three boxes, two large and one small, all of which were well sealed and locked several times, and the box was made of precious sandalwood, with a faint fragrance.
The old man opened the box on the left, and a dazzling golden light appeared in the box, and Lin Yun was stunned, it was actually a box of gold bars.
But before he could stop, the old man opened the remaining two boxes again, this time not gold, but two boxes of books.
"Lord-master, what's going on, my family-but so rich, why don't I know." Lin Yun was so surprised that he was almost speechless.
"Hahaha, grandson, there are many things you don't know, I'll explain it to you later." The old man said with a grin.
Lin Yunzhen didn't know what to say, although he learned from his parents that his family was very rich in his grandfather's generation, but his grandfather still shocked him when he took out so much gold.
When he was a child, he thought that his parents lied to him, but he didn't expect them to be a little conservative, which is rich, but very rich.
"Next, Grandpa will tell you about the history of our family.
Our family is very old, and I don't know how old it is.
Our village is basically surnamed Lin, and it was a family in your grandfather's generation, and your grandfather was the patriarch. At that time, your grandfather had a horse team with more than 100 horses, and your grandfather drove the horse team around to do business, and became a famous local rich man. But then there was an accident, and your grandfather died outside, I don't know if it was a vendetta or illness, and finally brought back only a box of ashes, when I was only three years old.
Because of the death of your grandfather, the whole family fell apart, and when we encountered the landlord and land reform, everyone was busy and did not dare to take the lead, for fear of being arrested as a typical example.
At that time, a family like ours was the object of strong suppression by the state, your grandfather died, and there was no one in charge of the family, and people from other branches did not dare to jump out to take the lead, so our family lost its former glory. Although I bear the name of the patriarch, I am only three years old, and I can't stand it at all.
At that time, your grandmother saw that the situation was not right, so she dug a pit for some of the family's money and books, because she was afraid that people would find out, so I let me dig it out when I grew up.
The box on the left is gold, the box in the middle is a medical book, handed down by the ancestors, and the small box on the right has an anonymous exercise, and the others are iron-casting books.
Do you know? I hold a big box of gold all day long, but I don't dare to use a single slight, if I use it, I will die, I will be criticized, that sick era, you can't imagine it at all!
Your grandfather died early, and I was not qualified to read, and I only learned to strike iron because there was a picture on it, but now there is no market for blacksmiths, and my blacksmith shop closed down after two years.
In order to survive, I learned all kinds of crafts from those masters, blacksmiths, stonemasons, plasterers, bamboo masons, and carpenters, and in those complicated times, if you didn't have something to rely on, you didn't dare to use the money, I only sold two pieces of gold when I couldn't get by at home, and the rest is here.
It was those two pieces of gold that almost cost me my life. Since then, I didn't dare to use another piece, and no matter how hard and tired I was, I couldn't hold on.
Your parents were not educated, they only went to elementary school, and no one wanted to study medicine. Your uncle is very smart and has a lot of ideas, but unfortunately he is too naughty, and often hides in the pig shed, and he can't go to school all day, and he can't become a tool.
I'm going to hand them over to you today, and I hope you can pass on these books, after all, they were left by your ancestors! ”
The old man said a lot, and his mood fluctuated greatly, as if he had finished talking for more than ten years.
"Grandpa, why didn't you take out this gold before?" Lin Yun was very curious, the big family was not rich, why didn't he take it out?
"I originally planned to take it out when my family was in a big disaster, but I didn't expect that these years have been getting better and better, there is no shortage of food, no lack of clothing, so I didn't take it out." The old man explained.
"Grandpa, can you practice this nameless exercise?"
"Since more than two hundred years ago, no one has been able to practice any Mingtang, saying that there is a lack of energy in the world, and it may not be as good as the boxing technique you taught me, you just take a look, you don't have to be more serious." The old man actually disdains this exercise, if it wasn't left by the ancestors, he would have thrown it away a long time ago.
"If you are willing to study medicine, you can learn hard, our family's medical skills are famous in a radius of 100 miles, if you don't want to, let Ling'er, Ah Heng and them learn, in short, you can't break the inheritance." Alas, your father and I are not successful, and the future of the Lin family will be handed over to you. "The old man has a lot of respect for medical skills, and I really hope that Lin Yun can learn it.
Next, Lin Yun asked all kinds of questions, and the old man answered them carefully, and he was also very happy to have someone to talk to him about the past glory days.
Lin Yun finally knew why his grandfather's prestige was so great, and whenever there was a dispute in the village, he would look for him, and it turned out that he was the nominal patriarch of the Lin family.
Lin Yun felt that he should tell the old man about the revival of the aura, and let him check it, what should he do, the old man's experience, he can't compare to ten.
Under Lin Yun's explanation, the old man believed it, and he put forward a lot of opinions, such as stockpiling grain, practicing martial arts in the whole village, and so on.
But it doesn't work now, and only when the heavens and the earth change to a certain extent will people believe it. However, he said that after two days, he gathered his family together and practiced first, which was able to seize a lot of opportunities.
Lin Yun had to admire, the old man deserved to be an old man, and he thought a lot.
He also wants to teach his family to practice martial arts, but everyone is busy with work, and he doesn't just say what to say, if his grandfather speaks, it will be easy to do.
Lin Yun went home with three heavy boxes.
As soon as she got home, she was blocked by Lin Ling'er, because the three quaint boxes attracted the attention of the little girl.
"Brother, show me what treasure Grandpa gave you." As he spoke, he took the box down.
"Nothing, nothing, just some books." was found by the little girl and had to be robbed of half of it, and he still wanted to sleep with the gold?
It's a pity that it was snatched up.
"Brother, you are too stingy, you don't remember to share me with so much gold, poor Lin Ling'er, no one hurts, no one loves." I was about to cry when I said it.
"No, that's mine."
"Half of the meeting, otherwise it will be filled and handed over to my parents."
"Ling'er, gold is not worth much, this box is not worth as much as the piece of jade I gave you!"
"Then give me another piece of jade?"
"Deal." Anyway, there is a lot of jadeite, and if it is not enough, decompose a few stones.
Lin Ling'er looked at Lin Yun like a big fool, a piece of imperial green could buy a few boxes of gold if it was sold.
After Lin Yun gave the jade to Lin Ling'er, Lin Ling'er went to hide the jadeite, and Lin Yun didn't know about it, they were all people who had been harmed by "we will keep it for you, and we will give it to you when you grow up", and it is understandable that the jade is tightly hidden.
Lin Yun took out the medical book and read it, originally Lin Yun was going to study Chinese medicine, he applied for eight Chinese medicine schools and two science and engineering schools, but he was unlucky and became a member of the science and engineering otaku.
He helplessly found that he couldn't understand it, it was full of that kind of ancient text, and he couldn't turn it over.
"Brother, the book is reversed!"
This is embarrassing, the face is so red that I can't see people, as a high-achieving student of socialism, how can this happen?
"You can read it!" Lin Yun was a little surprised, he couldn't understand without a certain amount of literary skills.
"What is this, isn't it an ancient text?" Lin Linger also picked up a medical book and read it with relish.
Lin Yun also read it, but he also called a translator, and Ling Yi helped him translate the entire book into vernacular.
The two siblings read books very quickly, and they are no longer called reading books, but turning books, one book in two minutes, and in less than an hour, a large box of books is finished. The reason why Lin Yun watched it so quickly was because his divine sense made him unforgettable, and Lin Ling'er, Lin Yun suspected that she had never forgotten it since she was a child.
"Brother, I didn't expect our family to have some dry goods, the medical skills recorded in it are very magical, and they are very complete, the introduction of medicinal materials, the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine, incurable diseases, and even the lost acupuncture, but some actually want qi to perform, what is that qi." Lin Ling'er asked curiously.
"It's supposed to be this thing." Lin Yun took out the nameless exercise.
The two studied the exercises again, but unfortunately the exercises were very obscure, Lin Ling'er needed time to translate Ze, and Lingyi didn't dare to guarantee that all the translations were correct, the Chinese culture was too broad and profound, and the slightest mistake was a thousand miles, and the exercises were relatively rigorous, and a little mistake could make people regret it for a lifetime.
Lin Yun still thinks that the system is good, the exercises given are easy to understand, and they are also equipped with pictures, so they can learn even if they are illiterate.
Today, I read books and studied the exercises, it was already late, and I was sleepy, Lin Yun immediately went to sleep, leaving only Lin Ling'er translating, so angry that Lin Ling'er puffed up her mouth, but she was very interested in this exercise, so she still insisted on translating.
