Chapter 64: The Kindness of the Ancestors

It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon. Ai Wan and I sat at the square table, she poured me boiling water, and the two of them didn't say a word, and at this moment, my mobile phone rang, and I took it out and saw that it was from Jiubu.

After connecting the phone, the nine departments did find a unit with ultraviolet lamps in Guigang, but they are still discussing borrowing and other issues, and it is estimated that it will be settled tomorrow. I happily walked back inside and told Ai Wan the news.

After a while, Officer Qu came back, and I told him the news again, and I also mentioned the incident of Li Wan's rampage. A few people chatted and chatted as it gradually got dark, and it rained all day, and it was getting darker than before.

Dinner was still made by Ai Wan, and neither of us men could cook, so we just sat at the table and waited. It didn't take long for two dishes and one soup to be served, and the three of them had dinner together.

Just when everyone was about to finish eating, the change was abrupt, and the three of them were still talking and eating, when they suddenly felt dizzy and their eyelids were heavy, and before they could say anything, Officer Qu and Ai Wan in front of them lay on the table one after another, and they followed closely behind.

In fact, as early as when I was eating, I felt that the food tasted wrong. Under the operation of the Shaoyin refining body, he noticed the abnormality, but in order to find out the truth, he still finished dinner as usual, but he quietly solved the drug in the meal.

Five minutes after Officer Qu and I lay down, Ai Wan stood up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table as usual. All of this was clearly perceived by her own divine sense, and Ai Wan really had a problem.

She gave us not poison, but a sedative in the morning. So Officer Qu was fine, he just fell asleep. And I was still lying on the table, waiting to see what Ai Wan was going to do.

Ten minutes later, Ai Wan finally finished cleaning the table, when another person walked towards the tiled house. Then I heard an old woman speaking in a language I didn't understand, and Ai Wan was talking to her in a similar language.

Although I didn't understand it, I seemed to hear some of the ways after listening to a few more words. The language they speak should be Miao, and they live in Qianzhou, a large multi-ethnic province, and when they were in primary and junior high school, many of their classmates were of various ethnic groups.

But how can the current situation have anything to do with the Miao people, although I don't understand it, I still wait for things to continue to develop. They also said a dozen or so words, and then the old woman sat down on the bench on Officer Qu's side, and Ai Wan brought a thermos flask and bowl.

Then she took the brown paper bag handed by the old woman, poured the powder into two bowls, and brewed it with water for a few minutes. I wondered if I was going to sit down and have tea and chat.

At this moment, the old woman picked up the bowl on the table, but did not drink it herself. Ai Wan picked up Officer Qu who was lying on his stomach, lifted his chin with one hand, and pinched his cheeks with the other, this is to feed him medicine!

I can't continue to pretend anymore, otherwise the ghost knows what the two women will give Officer Qu to drink. Thinking of this, he stood up violently and scolded: "What are you doing here? ”

"Ahh Why are you okay? Ai Wan was taken aback and exclaimed.

Seeing this, the old woman moved three points faster in her hands, and saw that the potion was about to be poured into Officer Qu's mouth that night. Immediately, with a wave of his right hand, the aura was released, and the old woman was rushed away at the same time as the medicine bowl. The potion was spilled on both of them, and the bowl was knocked to the ground and shattered.

Seeing this, the old woman muttered something, and then reached out and took out a porcelain vase from her clothes pocket. Seeing this, Ai Wan on the side shouted in Miao language, I saw that the situation was so familiar, so I guessed what she was going to do, and then quickly flashed out of the room and came to the door.

I stood still and asked, "Sister Ai, what do you mean by this?" Who is this grandmother? ”

As she spoke, the porcelain vase in the old woman's hand had already been thrown out. I was not surprised at all, with a wave of my left hand, the aura was released and wrapped in the porcelain vase. Ai Wan in the house seemed to be persuading the old woman, but it had no effect at all, because the old woman threw something again, but not at herself.

But as soon as it hit the ground, it leaped up and struck me. With a wave of his right hand again, he restrained the attacking thing in the same way, and it turned out to be a green frog all the time. Then he spoke again: "Sister Ai, I will give you another warning one last time." ”

As he spoke, the green frog was thrown back into the house, and then burst open and died. Seeing this, the two people in the room didn't dare to make any more moves, and after about ten seconds, Ai Wan said: "Wind expert.. No.. Senior Feng, we didn't mean to harm you. ”

"Really? In my opinion, this is not the case. "I worried about them twice in a row, but I still thought I could control me.

"It's all a misunderstanding, please listen to me." Ai Wan saw that my tone was not good, and then said, and then turned her head and explained a few words to the old woman in Miao language.

I walked back into the room, sat down again, and motioned for Aiwan to sit down. But the old woman on the other side no longer looked at me, but closed her eyes. "You're Miao, aren't you?" As soon as I sat down, I spoke my thoughts.

"So you've heard that."

"What's more, Li Wan's rampage at noon is also your hands. Why do you have to go to such great lengths? I don't see any threat to you, do I? ”

"This is a long time coming, and the cause began more than 300 years ago." She thought about it and decided to tell the truth, and as soon as she said this, the old woman on the other side glanced at her dissatisfiedly, but she didn't say anything.

In the twelfth year of the reign of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the newly enthroned Xuan Ye ordered the reduction of the feudal domain and abolished the military power of the kings of Pingxi, Pingnan, and Jingnan, causing eight years of civil strife. That is, the rebellion of the three feudatories led by Wu Sangui in history.

Because Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, originally ruled Guizhou and Yun, he had high support in the local area. Eight years later, the three feudatories were exterminated by the Qing court, and none of the original followers were spared, and they were all implicated.

And among those tribes, there is Ai Wan's ancestors involved. In order to keep the family bloodline, he begged for shelter everywhere. However, the Qing court was powerful, and after all kinds of tossing and turning, someone in Guixi Province was able to save the descendants.

Later, this group of people settled in Guixi and changed their surname to Ai. And among those descendants is Ai Wan's great-ancestor, in order to thank that person for his kindness, this family surnamed Ai worked for that person, so that later the relationship between the two families was close.

In modern times, the Qing court collapsed and warlords rose up. Unfortunately, the descendants of that man were also involved with the Ai family, which later led to the fall of the family, the killing of the clan, and the two families disappeared from the earth.

This was already an old thing, Ai Wan thought it was just the story of her ancestors, but she never thought that the tomb excavated in this archaeological mission was the tomb of the person back then.

When she saw the inscription on the stone tablet in the tomb, she was shocked, and it turned out that the story she had heard since she was a child was exactly what her elders said. That night, she contacted her mother back home and told her what she had seen.

But she heard another heart-wrenching story from her mother, which made her have to persuade her husband, Captain Yin Gaofei, to let him give up opening the coffin.

It turned out that after the death of that person, as the former Miao man Ai Shi, took the initiative to protect the tomb for him. And this is one of the many things they do to repay their kindness. But time has passed, and the Gu in the tomb has long been unsolved, and if the coffin is opened, it will definitely cause a catastrophe.

Sure enough, things were as predestined, the first three people tried to rob the tomb, but they were killed by Gu in the tomb. And Ai Wan, who witnessed all this, believed what her mother said even more, but her husband didn't listen to her advice, so she had to open the coffin.

The day before going to the tomb, she used the method taught by her mother during the Spring Festival to prepare potions to defend against Gu worms. But her kindness was disliked by the team members, saying that she was superstitious and feudal. In this way, with apprehension, I still watched them open the coffin.

So what happened later, because the Gu in the tomb could not be lifted, she also panicked. The next day, after talking to my mother on the phone again, the two agreed. Since these people did not listen to persuasion and had to open the coffin, now that something had happened, it was better to push the boat along the river and use this matter to propose that the higher authorities stop the archaeological mission.

What they didn't expect was that this matter had spread to the Nine Ministries. As a newcomer to the expert, Ai Wan thought that if I didn't come to make a show, as long as I couldn't solve the problem by myself, I would definitely retreat.

To her surprise, I not only dealt with the Gu worms in the tomb, but also seemed to have found a way to cure the Gu poison. If things continue to develop, the four who have recovered will inevitably continue their archaeological work.

Ai Wan is not very sensitive to ancestral matters, and since she switched to archaeology, she has also looked down on funeral customs. It is also believed that the artifacts in the tomb are more valuable than those that are buried and decayed.

But her mother didn't think so, and after scolding her, she came to Xiugu Village the next day. The plan is to remove the obstacles and keep the remains of the benefactor who once saved them.

Ai Wan's mother is naturally the old woman who is seated, and the reason why they do this is nothing more than to use this bizarre incident again to save the coffin and stop the archaeological mission. In their opinion, as long as I am also recruited, the mission will inevitably stop.

Hearing this, I understand that their mother and daughter actually don't want to be killed or injured, since the four of them were hit by Gu, Ai's mother has been thinking about what she has learned, and she keeps experimenting, trying to find an antidote.

"Grandma, in fact, you are the descendant of that person!" As soon as I spoke, Ai Wan was shocked again. Then she translated, and before she could finish speaking, Grandma turned to look at me and spoke in stiff Chinese.

"Yes!" There was no sadness on her face, no surprise, not even a feeling of her heart racing. I can't imagine what she has experienced in the troubled times, so that she has long been calm, leaving only a trace of concern for her ancestors.

And Ai Wan on the side was already crying, I don't know if it was because the story she told was too sad, or because of her mother's insistence.

I didn't say anything more, just sat quietly, thinking about what to do next. After five or six minutes, Ai Wan eased up, and she asked, "Senior Feng, what are you going to do with us?" ”

Before he could say anything, the grandmother on the side said something. Ai Wan's tears slipped down again when she heard this, but she still held back her crying, turned her head and translated, "Mother said that if Senior Feng insisted on continuing to open the coffin, she would die together in front of the grave. The last few words are already inarticulate.

Hearing this, I stood up and said with a number of courtesies: "Grandma doesn't have to be like this, since I have understood the cause and effect, I will definitely help you to retain the filial piety of the future generations." ”

Grandma heard my words, and before Ai Wan could translate, her body trembled, she stood up tremblingly, and was about to bend down and kneel. Seeing this, I flashed forward and helped her, saying, "The old man doesn't have to make such a big gift, I can't afford to be a son of man." ”

Ai Wan next to her also reacted, hurriedly stepped forward to help her mother sit down, and then whispered something.

I left the hall and walked out of the door. Looking at the hazy waning moon in the dark clouds after the rain stopped, my heart was full of emotion.

After nine o'clock in the evening, I called Captain Xiang to talk about the matter here, and asked him if he could keep this ancient tomb. After listening to this, Captain Xiang said, "Hmm! If you have a way, leave it to me. ”

"Thank you, Captain." I said.

"My own people, no thanks."

He hung up the phone and took it back, but he didn't get up, and continued to sit cross-legged on the cliff between the mountains, closing his eyes and meditating. What I experienced this time was very touching to me. This is also the first time in my adult life that I have thought about what filial piety is.

The next day came all the good news, Captain Xiang said that the matter had been resolved, and the archaeological team would receive notices from time to time to end the mission. The matter of ultraviolet lamps has also been negotiated, and it can be loaded and delivered in the afternoon.

After a night's sleep, Officer Qu woke up and asked himself what had happened, and Ai Wan and I covered it up. On this day, the weather also cleared, and even the trees in front of and behind the house sprouted.

Just after one o'clock in the afternoon, a truck arrived with a UV lamp. Since the lamps were extremely fragile, they were wrapped in a large amount of cotton, and there were twenty-two in total. Of course, this car also contains wires, switches, light stands and other equipment.

In the tiled house on the left side where the farm tools were placed, the people vacated the house, and then two technicians were inside, and they worked for more than an hour to assemble the lamp stand. When they were gone, four people were taken out of the room and placed in the courtyard to bask in the sun.

In order not to arouse criticism, the archaeological team's car and his own car were also moved to block it. Officer Qu personally stood guard outside to disperse those who wanted to peek.

The first person to receive the ultraviolet treatment experiment was Li Lingling, who was the weakest, and Ai Wan and I carried her to the prepared table and began the treatment under the bright purple light.

This table was actually borrowed from the village, and it was originally used to kill pigs, but now it has become a small bed for saving people. I was the only one in the room who looked at Li Lingling, and from time to time I used my divine sense to probe the Gu worms in her brain.

I kept playing with her hair so that the light could shine through the skull into the brain, and after half an hour, I completely killed the Gu worms in the brain, although there would be a little bit of residue, but I don't think it was a big problem.

When she opened her eyes and saw me, she asked weakly, "Who are you?" "His voice was hoarse and dry.

I shouted to the outside world: "Sister Ai, people are awake." ”

Then Ai Wan, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, walked in, and the two were speechless when they saw each other. Ai Wan walked closer, picked up the water cup placed in the bunch, helped Li Lingling up and said, "If you're thirsty, let's drink a little water first." ”

Then the other three came in one by one, and just before the sun set, they were all brought back to life. When Officer Qu and I moved out of the car, we caught a glimpse of Grandma standing not far away, I smiled and nodded, signaling that everything was going well, but Officer Qu didn't know anything about it.
