A quaint gray-brown wooden box, the pattern on which has long been blurred and illegible, and there are some traces of fire, there is nothing attractive about it. However, when Han Wei saw it for the first time, he couldn't help but walk forward, and then picked up the box and wanted to open it, but his heart tightened and he almost fell the box. Han Wei couldn't figure out this sudden feeling, and after waiting for a while, his heart calmed down a little, and then he opened the wooden box.

In the wooden box, a white jade ring is snow-white, without any flaws. The white jade ring seemed to exude white light, Han Wei was curious, picked up the white jade ring, and felt a warm heat coming, looking carefully, where was the light, it must have been just an illusion just now. And the warmth he felt disappeared, and Han Wei didn't think much about it, just thinking that it was because he was too tired and hallucinated.

Han Wei also collected some jade artifacts, and he also had a certain understanding of jade, but he couldn't tell what kind of white jade ring it was. Moreover, the white jade ring is different from other rings, there is a strange groove on it, which is on the edge of one side of the jade ring, which completely destroys the beauty of the jade ring. This groove can not see the traces of carving, as if it is natural, indicating that the groove is not destroyed and generated, Han Wei can't help but wonder, who made this white jade ring, why would design such a strange jade ring, jade without any impurities, but extremely precious. Not only that, Han Wei had never heard of this kind of jade ring, let alone seeing it, so he was even more curious in his heart.

"How did you get back?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, and Han Wei, who was thinking, was startled, his heart beat faster, and he didn't calm down for a long time. This time, he held on to the white jade ring tightly, and there would be no fall.

"Dad, where did this white jade ring come from?"

Han Wei deliberately changed the topic, afraid that his father would nag him again, and he was not satisfied with finding several jobs after graduating from college, how easy is it to find a good job for history majors, especially in the metropolis of Beijing, where the competitive pressure is even greater. After thinking about it again, I simply went home to rest for a while, and I opened two sports equipment stores at home, so I didn't have to worry about life. When I got home, I saw my parents' door open, I thought my parents were at home, but when I came in, I found the wooden box at first sight.

Han Lin looked at the white jade ring in Han Wei's hand, his expression suddenly darkened, and then he sighed slightly: "This is left by your uncle." ”

Han Wei has not seen the uncle, but there is the uncle's spiritual position card at home, and he will worship every New Year, and every time someone in the family goes out and comes back, he has to offer incense and worship. Han Wei wondered in his heart, since it was left by the uncle, why he had never seen it for decades. I was about to ask, but I found that my father's expression looked a little painful, and the whole person seemed to be a lot older, Han Wei had never seen my father look like this, guessing that he was touched by the uncle's affairs, and he couldn't bear to disturb him.

After a while, Han Lin suddenly said, "You go to your hometown, find the bones of your uncle, and then bring the ashes back." ”

Han Wei has no impression of his hometown of Taixing, Jiangsu, because he has never been there, he has been living in Guiyang, Guizhou, until he went to Beijing to study, and lived in Beijing for four years. Han Wei didn't mind getting his uncle's ashes back, but he didn't understand why he was mentioning it now? And his parents are not in front of him, and when he talks about his hometown, he seems to be deliberately avoiding something. Han Wei didn't take it to heart before, but now he has a lot of doubts in his heart, and he can't help asking, "Dad, what's going on, what can't you tell me?" ”

"A few days ago, I always dreamed of your uncle, and I haven't gone back to see it for so many years, it must be that your uncle came back to blame." After Han Lin finished speaking, he let out another long sigh, and then went to the living room, and on the east wall was Uncle Han Wei's spiritual tablet.

Han Wei followed closely behind, put three sticks of incense for his uncle, and respectfully bowed three times, his father has asked for this since he was a child, and he has been accustomed to it.

"How did Uncle die?" Han Wei felt more and more that things were unusual, and interrogated the cause of his uncle's death for the first time. I always thought that the uncle died of illness, after all, the uncle was only three years older than his father, and even now he can barely be regarded as a middle-aged man, and there was no war at the beginning, if it wasn't for illness, Han Wei really couldn't think of any other reason.

Han Lin was silent, tears had already appeared in the corners of his eyes, where did Han Wei dare to urge, and hurriedly moved a chair for Han Lin to sit down. Han Lin didn't sit down, he personally put on three incense sticks, waited for a long time, and finally spoke, muttering about a piece of the past.

In 1975, a catastrophe suddenly broke out in Hanjia Village, a suburb of Ning County, Taixing City, in just three days, 27 people died, and everyone died without any signs before they died, and there was no difference between weekdays and days, let alone any pain. The strange thing is that after death, the body temperature is still maintained at a certain temperature, and even mosquitoes dare not approach. At first, the county doctors came and did not draw any conclusions, and the people of Han Village continued to die. In order to prevent this strange situation from spreading, then Hancun was blocked, not allowing anyone to leave, and experts from the province and city came, but they still did not find out what the reason was, and the final conclusion was the plague.

The aura of death enveloped Han Village, but they didn't even have a chance to leave, and a radius of ten miles had already been blocked. At this moment, Han Wei's uncle suddenly had a fever, his body was extremely hot, because his parents died early, only the two brothers depended on each other, and at this moment there was only Han Lin by his side. Although it was a high fever, for some reason the uncle was still quite conscious, supporting Han Lin to the ruins in the east of the village, seeing that there was no one around, he uncovered a wooden board in a corner, and there was actually a tunnel below. The obvious artificial traces of the tunnels should be left over from the Anti-Japanese War, and there are many such tunnels in the county. This tunnel is very secret, and it is under the ruins, if it weren't for Uncle Han Wei to clean up the ruins for the village this time, he wouldn't have found it.

Uncle Han Wei took out a white jade ring from his arms, and then asked Han Lin to casually find a gray-brown wooden box, which was also found in the ruins, and stored the white jade ring in it. The Han family was already poor, where was there any jade, Han Lin also wondered where the white jade ring came from, but before he could ask, he saw a light shining in the distance. The Ruins was already on the edge of the Blockade, and the light could only come from the Guardians. Uncle Han Wei hurriedly pushed Han Lin down the tunnel, then covered it with wooden planks, and added a few large stone piers on it.

Han Lin desperately hit the plank, wanting to take the eldest brother away, but no matter what, he couldn't push it away. At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps, accompanied by a few gunshots, Han Lin, who was no more than fifteen years old, was frightened in his heart, and hurriedly walked along the tunnel. The tunnel is very humid, and the air is not very good, which makes people's chests stuffy, Han Lin's thin body, for some reason, can always hold on. After about half an hour, they reached the end of the tunnel, and the entrance to the cave was blocked by stones, and a little moonlight shone through the holes.

After waiting for a while, there was no sound outside except for some insect chirps, and Han Lin removed the stones one by one, and for a moment his hands were blurred with flesh and blood. With his flesh and blood, it was extremely expensive to move the stones that were built on the ground, and Han Lin didn't know if it was because of his strong belief in survival, which derived extraordinary strength, and he actually supported it, and finally crawled out of the tunnel after an hour or so.

At this time, he was already at the foot of the mountain a mile away from Hancun, looking at Hancun, there was firelight everywhere, and shouts came from time to time, but they were too far away to be heard clearly. Han Lin carried the wooden box in his arms, hesitated for a moment and rushed straight forward. Han Lin was afraid of being caught, so he dared to walk only when he hid up during the day, and he didn't dare to stop until he walked forward. It took more than a year to come to Guiyang, Guizhou, and finally lived in Guiyang, more than 30 years have passed in the blink of an eye. This is also the reason why Han Lin has always been reluctant to mention his hometown, and he didn't dare to go back to take a look, he couldn't forgive himself and left his eldest brother alone in Han Village.

……

In the past few days, Han Lin has repeatedly dreamed of Uncle Han Wei, so he took out the hidden wooden box, which is the only relic left by Uncle Han Wei, and it can be regarded as seeing things and thinking about people.

Han Wei was silent, he didn't expect his father to have such a past, this is simply incredible. Han Wei wanted to comfort, but he didn't know what to say, and after a while, he said, "Dad, don't ...... either."

"I know." Han Lin interrupted Han Wei and didn't let him continue, he let out another long sigh and said, "There are some things that can never be forgotten, you go back to your hometown early tomorrow morning, and you must bring back your uncle's ashes." ”

Han Wei had only been home for a few hours, and it was when he was tired, and he hadn't even seen his mother, but when he thought of the past and looked at his father's tired and old look, he couldn't refuse. Han Wei nodded and said, "I'll book tickets in a while, it's just a matter of where my hometown is." ”

Han hadn't been back for nearly thirty years, and he didn't know much before, so he could only describe some of the surrounding environment, and he didn't even know the direction. Han Wei knew that it would take a lot of effort to find it, or that it would not be found at all, and the changes in time in thirty years could be described as earth-shaking. The two chatted for a while, Han Wei couldn't get more detailed information, so he went back to the room, Han Lin sat under the spirit tablet, and his thoughts didn't know where to drift.

Han Wei returned to the room, turned on the computer, and found that the white jade ring was still in his hand. I couldn't help but look at the white jade ring again, the soft white light flashed, but I stared again, and the white light disappeared. Turning the white jade ring over and over again, even facing the light, there was no soft white light that he had just seen.

Could it be another hallucination this time? Han Wei thought in his heart, playing with the white jade ring from time to time, but there was still no change. At this time, the computer had been turned on, Han Wei put the white jade ring in his hand, and booked a ticket from Guiyang to Nanjing. After booking the ticket, Han Wei searched the map near Taixingning County again, but he didn't find anything similar to what his father said.

I don't know if I'm too tired, it didn't take long for Han Wei to fall asleep on the table, and a white light flashed between his fingers, and it disappeared after a long time.
