Chapter 31: The Ins and Outs

The three families of Huainan refer to the three families of Huainan, we have already introduced the relationship between the Su family and the Luo family in detail before, and from Luo's mouth, I know the third family, the Qin family.

The ancestors of the three families set up clan rules to help each other and support each other, because the behavior of the three families was maverick, and they were afraid that their descendants would not be able to survive independently.

The Qin family has been in business for generations, the Su family designed, and the Luo family made all kinds of goods and pieces were sold to all parts of the country by the Qin family. To make it clear, the Su family is the designer, the Luo family is the factory, and the Qin family is the sales.

The three families are dependent on each other, and there is an iron law, that is, the Qin family is responsible for all the monthly expenses of the Su Luo family to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and the Su Luo family must completely follow the instructions of the Qin family to do things. Every time the Qin family appeared, they would bring a task, which was often extremely difficult, and the Su Luo family had to complete it.

It sounds like a relationship between supply and demand and mutual utilization, but Su discovered early on that many of the tasks brought by the Qin family were incredible, and none of them were related to business. Most of them are disassembling and reconstructing some very strange ancient instruments.

Most of these instruments are excavated cultural relics, which are old and of unknown use.

Su believed that the Qin family must be investigating something by reconstructing these ancient instruments. This investigation must be the reason why the three major families merged to reach an iron law of in-law back then, and the Qin family has focused on this matter for several generations.

Looking at the genealogical genealogy, Su was almost certain that this investigation had not made any progress for a long time, until the Qing Dynasty, when the Qin family brought the then French ambassador Shi Anan to Su's house.

The Frenchman brought with him an unprecedentedly intricate design that covered the entire courtyard in order to be fully revealed, but Sue noticed that the designs were written on parchment, which means that it is very likely that they were completed between the 3rd and 13th centuries AD.

At that time, the Su family was in its heyday, and all the Su family members spent decades studying these plans, and no one knew the final result. Su only knew that from that generation, the Qin family began to rarely appear. And occasionally they appear, and the tasks they bring with them, also change a lot.

In 1976, the Qin family found the Su Luo family at that time and submitted a puzzling task, which was to "go to a place".

In 1986, the Qin family returned the body of the person who disappeared at the time and took them to "this place" again. ”

In 1996, the same thing happened again, and the bodies of those who set off in 1986 were returned.

Su felt that after the Qin family unlocked the secret of which drawings, this secret might point to "this place", but several generations of Qin family members wanted to enter this place, and they all ended in death.

In 2006, the Su family had already withered in population, and the Qin family sent back the bodies of the Su and Luo families who set off in 1996 in this decade. It stands to reason that this year Su and the Luo family should go to this place again, but this time, the Qin family brought back a strange bronze part. And I hope that Su will spend ten years to figure out what this part does.

Su believes that the part must have been taken from "that place". After decades of so many deaths, the Qin family only got this clue.

It was at that time that Su began to restore the part, and he soon discovered that the part came from a very complex ancient instrument, which was used to perform a very complex calculation.

Between the 3rd and 13th centuries A.D., it was impossible for any single science to use such a large number of calculations. Even now, such huge calculations are mostly found in astronomical calculations.

"Su knew that in ten years, he would be required to continue to enter that place, so he kept trying to understand what the machine to which this part belonged was computing." Luo Ziting told me: "One day three years ago, Su watched the autumn leaves fall and suddenly got the answer. ”

Su didn't tell Luo his answer, Luo only knew that from that time, Su had changed, he became very afraid, afraid of the coming of ten years, Su locked himself in the room, kept drawing drawings, Luo asked many times, what was he afraid of, Su only said one word: "This will be the largest labyrinth in the world." ”

When Su said this, he was really quoting a person's words, not what he wanted to express. But from that answer, he introduced several decisions to deal with the Qin family that might come in 2016. One of the things he values most is finding someone with a special skill.

Su told Luo very definitely that this person's surname was An, and his ability was that he had an absolute sense of distance and direction. In other words, he can clearly know how far he has traveled every time he walks. There is no need for any measuring tools. You can also tell which direction you are facing in an instant.

They chose the forest, and Sue devised a maze, using featureless landscapes and these moths to trap the candidates. They trick people into here and spy on them to see if their abilities are real.

Luo didn't have Sue's other purpose of doing this at the time, but it didn't take long for him to realize that Su's spirit was wrong. He didn't know what Sue had done, but the people who had been trapped in the woods by Sue began to commit suicide.

Sue's explanation to him is that in addition to ability, mental endurance must also be tested, because the place they are going to is very scary.

Luo didn't agree, but Su's authority was great, and Su insisted that their suicides were all accidents, and the Luo family couldn't find clues, so they had to give up. It wasn't until later that another thing happened that Luo was unwilling to reveal, and Su and Luo's family officially fell out and broke up.

The two families have been working together for centuries, and there has been constant friction in the middle, but there has been no split, this matter makes the Luo family unbearable, I am very interested in this matter, but Luo shows a very unfriendly atmosphere, I dare not ask.

After the split, all the economic and financial management of the Luo family were lost, and at the same time, they were still facing the danger of the sudden appearance of the Qin family, and in the absence of a think tank, Luo Ziting, the head of the Luo family, came up with a clever plan, that is, they could enter the woods and make a living by hunting. So the Luo family came to this canyon. Su himself is still restoring the design in the old mansion, and looking for the person surnamed An who he thinks has special abilities.

After Su came here, he yelled at the Luo family's Tingnu Radish to hear, and Radish took the Luo family away with Su, but Su told the Luo family that he had found the person surnamed An, which was me.

"It's not just about getting in, it's about getting out." Luo Ziting said to me very seriously: "That place, if you enter it, you can hardly come out, and you need that kind of person with special talents to come out." But after our testing, I think Su got it wrong, you don't have a surname, he has a surname Ann. ”

Luo Zi listened and pointed to the gods. "Sue must be referring to him."

I looked at Luo Zi and listened, and said in my heart that you forcibly changed your surname so much, is it really okay? You started hunting for a living because you were poor, and I was also drunk. The ancestors of the Su family don't want your surname to be Su, and I suddenly understand very much.
