Chapter 32: Jade

Under Gu Wenmin's reminder, we stripped off the clothes on the bones, the corpse was already rotten and only the bones remained, and with a little force, the bone frame in the clothes fell apart, and the white skull rolled to the side. Tofu recited Amitabha Buddha in his mouth and said, "Don't blame the indecent people, we also accidentally offended the body, don't take it to heart." With that, he took the skull back and put it in the pile of bones.

I listened to it funny, and my heart said that you are a native master, are there still fewer offended remains? Now it's time to start reciting the scriptures. I ignored him, and took out all the things in my pocket, and in addition to some small tools, I found a photograph of me in the body's purse.

Maybe it was for the purpose of hiding his identity, he had an old-fashioned ID card in his wallet, but Gu Wenmin's eyes were full of strength, and he looked at it and said, "The document is forged." "So I didn't pay attention to the papers, but stared at the photos in my hand. The photo shows a middle-aged man who is a complete stranger, with a stably head and dark skin, and if this photo is the deceased itself, then I can rest assured that he is not my grandfather.

Just as our attention was attracted by the photo, Tofu, who was swinging a skull on the side, suddenly sighed and said, "Picked up a piece of jade pendant." During this time, his courage has been exercised a lot, and he reached out and pulled out a piece of jade the size of a copper coin, which looked good at first glance.

I said, "This jade wall is very good, wear it yourself." ”

Tofu showed a disgusting expression and said, "Can you not disgust me, Tufuzi is also dignified." After a pause, Tofu said, "I have seen cicadas carved on jade bibs, lotus flowers, and I have never seen letters and numbers engraved." ”

Letter? Digit?

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but lean over to take a look, and saw that Zhen Rui's face changed, and he snatched the jade bi with his hand, half of his handsome face was as heavy as ice, half of his face was disfigured, and his red muscles twitched, which looked extremely terrifying. I've never seen Zhen Rui show such a look, and I can't help but say, "Is there any special meaning to this thing?" ”

If you look closely, you can see that there is a combination of letters and numbers on it, surrounding the jade bi: B403C270001

Jade is a symbol of auspiciousness, generally will not be ornamented, even if there is, there are more auspicious patterns, as tofu said, carved cicadas and other things, cicadas have a striking meaning, in traditional Chinese culture, the meaning is very important, and jade in ancient times was known as the stone of the gods, and later became a ritual vessel, so the ornament specifications have a set of rules, except for some young people who pursue novelty now, most of them really understand jade, will not make some messy things on it.

I stared at the string of letters and wondered: What does this mean?

After I asked, I heard Zhen Rui say, "Yes, I have seen it before." ”

Tofu asked curiously: "Where have you seen it?" ”

Zhen Rui glanced at him, moved his lips, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just frowned and didn't say a word. I was secretly annoyed in my heart, since this person knew the situation, and he didn't say anything, it was really unappetizing. Tofu belongs to the dog skin plaster type, so it doesn't matter whether Zhen Rui's face is ugly or not, after waiting for a while, seeing that Zhen Rui is silent, he hurriedly leaned over and said: "Tuhao, don't be silent, where have you seen it?" What does this letter mean? ”

Zhen Rui's brows furrowed even tighter, and he glanced at the tofu, but he still didn't say anything.

Tofu belongs to the skin thicker than the city wall, I don't care about Rui's expression at all, my eyes rolled, I don't know what to think, I stretched out my hand to take the jade back, and said: "You don't say pull down, I found the thing, return it to me." His outstretched hand was instantly detained by Zhen Rui, and he screamed in pain, saying: "You bastard surnamed Yuan, don't think that you are rich, this is an artist's hand, did you lose money if you broke it...... Ahhh ”

After a few moments, Tofu clasped his hands behind me and handed me an expression of impotence. At this time, he saw Zhen Rui slowly put away the jade bi, paused for a moment, and said: "This matter is a long story, I didn't expect to see it again after so many years." Looking at Zhen Rui's expression, it seems that he is about to loosen his mouth, it seems that the tofu is fooling around, not without effect, and then, I heard Zhen Rui talk about an old thing.

At the time of this incident, Zhen Rui himself was still very young, and he had an uncle in his own family, who suddenly disappeared twenty years ago.

Before disappearing, there was an incident that he remembered very well. What exactly is the cause of the incident is already confusing, and even Zhen Rui himself is not clear. As the future successor of the Yuan family, Zhen Rui's life when he was a child can be imagined, he began to practice various kung fu very early, and all kinds of schoolwork added up, often until late.

At that time, the old house of the Zhen family was still a courtyard, and on a summer night, it was dark, and Zhen Rui wiped the sweat on his forehead, and finished the day's practice and prepared to go back to his room. The family is a century-old family with strict rules, and before he finishes practicing, he must first report to his father.

When he walked outside his father's study, he suddenly heard the sound of an argument. The light was on in the closed study, reflecting the figures of two people, it was his father and the uncle of the family, the two were arguing fiercely about something, and the speed of speech was very fast, and Zhen Rui didn't hear it clearly for a while.

Uncle Zhen Rui is an unsuccessful thing, and the family education is very strict, but this uncle has a perverse personality, and when he is kind, he spends money to help the poor, and when he does evil, he also leads people to cut down the whole family at night. The family has always been a single line, and in his father's generation, there was suddenly an uncle, and his grandfather naturally favored him, so this uncle was even more lawless.

As the head of the family and the elder brother, it is common for his father to quarrel with his uncle because he controls him, and it is not surprising that Zhen Rui is not surprised. Since his father is educating his uncle, he doesn't need to bother, and when he was about to leave, his ears suddenly caught some key words: strength, change, fighting, and cooperation.

These words are all spit out from the mouth of the uncle, and the people of the Li family have grown up in different environments since childhood, and their minds are precocious, and they are well-informed. He was originally going to leave, but suddenly caught these words, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: What power? What has changed? Uncle wants to fight? When he said cooperation, with whom did he cooperate?

When he heard this, he dispelled the idea of leaving, and quietly hid outside the study to listen to the corner, and then, he suddenly heard a bang, it was his father who smashed a vase, and then he heard his father say: "I don't allow you to do such an inexplicable thing!" I've got the final say in this family! ”

The uncle said angrily: "Big brother, you are too unreasonable, I am discussing with you." ”

The father sneered: "You white-eyed wolf who eats inside and out, is it easy for us to leave the family's century-old foundation!" When you hook up with that kind of person, do you want to lose the whole family! ”

The uncle was silent for a moment, and then sneered, and said, "You don't agree with that?" Good, good, good. He said three good words in a row, and then he burst out the door. At this moment, his father's voice came from the room, calling Zhen Rui in, and it seemed that Zhen Rui's hidden kung fu was not at home and was discovered.

He bowed his head and went in respectfully, "Father." ”

Zhen Rui's father nodded slightly and said, "Did you hear everything?" ”

Zhen Rui said honestly: "I don't know what I heard. Father, what did Uncle do to make you angry? "Although this uncle is perverse and is not welcomed by the people in the family, he is still good to himself, and he once secretly helped himself do his homework. His father did not answer directly to Zhen Rui, Zhen Rui suddenly found that there was an extra piece of jade with excellent color on the coffee table next to him, although he was young, but he had been professionally trained since childhood, and his eyesight was stronger than ordinary people, he first saw that the jade was in good condition, and then he saw a string of letters and numbers on the jade at a glance.

The numbers and letters on it are exactly the same as the current jade.

He couldn't help but sigh, and likewise, he was puzzled that someone would carve such a thing on a jade bi.

Where did this jade come from?

Why haven't I seen it before?

Could it be that the father and the uncle quarreled because of it?

Just when Zhen Rui was thinking about this, his father rubbed his forehead tiredly and said, "You have to remember that the century-old foundation of our Zhen family involves the lifeblood of countless people, no matter what time it is, you must put the interests of the family first, don't learn from your uncle's bastard thing." Zhen Rui wanted to ask what the uncle had done that would make his father so angry, but he was keenly aware that now was not the time to ask this, so he nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Immediately afterward, after a routine report on his homework, he went to rest, and before leaving, he saw his father put the jade pendant in the secret compartment of the study. That secret grid, only the people of the family know.

After that, the uncle rarely went home, and the last time he went home, Zhen Rui was in the practice room, with a little bit of soil in front of him, and he was practicing Wengong. Uncle looked a little excited at the time, grabbed a handful of five-flower soil when he passed by, and asked, "Xiaorui, are you tired, Uncle will take you out to play." ”

Zhen Rui Zheng'er said: "I'm not tired, I want to practice." ”

The uncle sneered and said, "Just like your father, he is old-fashioned, and you are old-fashioned." After speaking, he touched Zhen Rui's head and said, "Uncle is going out for a long time, and the Yuan family will rely on you, boy, come on." Staring at the back of the uncle's departure, Zhen Rui didn't realize at that time that the so-called long time would be so long, a full twenty years.
