When I looked back, I saw a thin old man standing behind me, this old man was a grandfather's home, the most data-saving, ad-free site for mobile phones.

I hurriedly turned around and bowed respectfully, "Second uncle, Zhuo Ran will give you a New Year's greeting!" "On the first day of the new year, when you see the elders, you have to pay New Year's greetings, this is the rule of the family, now is the new era of kowtowing, I heard my father say, they were all kowtowing when they saw the elders when they were young, and this day down, kowtowing is numerous, and the whole person is dizzy.

The second uncle nodded with a smile, reached out and took out a red envelope, and stuffed it into my hand, "The ancestor worship is not over yet, don't be lazy kid!" Just once a year, as the eldest grandson, don't make people laugh! ”

I hurriedly nodded yes, "Second uncle, why are you here?" ”

The second uncle shook his head, "When people are old, there are many troubles. As he spoke, he pointed to his stomach and grabbed my wrist, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

I had no choice but to obediently follow my second uncle back to the ancestral hall.

Our Zhuo family's ancestor worship is a little different, first of all, the sacrificial ceremony, then the clansmen salute, and then return to the ancestral house and start to beat the blessing.

The so-called striking blessing is a feature of our Zhuo family. It is from the doorway to the wall, extending the courtyard, the porch, and all the way to the hall, these three places, in the center of each place, there is a specific blue brick, on which there will be a red blessing character. The clansmen in the family, generally the eldest son, that is, my father, will hold the top door bar and knock all the way down in order, which is the unique blessing ceremony of the Zhuo family, and it is also a homonym for accumulating blessings.

After the ancestor worship ceremony, our group came back from the ancestral hall, and when we just stepped up the steps of the ancestral house, I don't know what was going on, my father's feet suddenly slipped and fell crookedly on the steps. We hurriedly held him up, and I anxiously asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”

Dad grinned in pain, "I didn't pay attention, I stepped on the air, and I broke my feet!" ”

The person next to him slowly helped his father up, "Big brother, do you want it?" ”

Dad waved his hand, "You go on, I'm okay?" ”

"But," said the uncle next to him, "can you still be blessed in your situation?" ”

Dad was embarrassed for a while, "I, this ......"

At this time, the second uncle picked up the top door bar and handed it to me, "The eldest son can't knock it, the eldest grandson replaces!" ”

I was holding the top door bar for a while, it was always my dad who did it, I just waited on the sidelines, I didn't know what to do! "Me? I don't understand? ”

The second uncle frowned slightly, "What don't you understand, it's your business sooner or later, it's better to study early, come, I'll tell you!" Just remember three sentences! "Saying that, the second uncle told me the three sentences that he was going to shout, not to mention it, but it's easy to remember.

I checked the top door bar in my hand, walked up, I first walked to the blessing word in the middle of the courtyard, knocked it, and said loudly, "Knock respectfully!" He walked to the middle of the porch and knocked on the word Fu, "Second knock to respect the sky!" Immediately after, I walked to the middle of the main hall and knocked on the word "Fu", and at the same time, I said loudly: "Three knocks...... "I haven't finished shouting, and suddenly I realize that something is not right!" I was stunned for a moment.

The people outside were silent when they heard me shouting, and quickly reminded me, "Zhuo Ran, what are you doing?" It's time for three knocks! Three-knock what? ”

Only then did I come back to my senses and shouted, "Three knocks on the fortune are in front of me!" "But I shouted like this, but my eyes kept on the ground, what was that voice just now? I couldn't have heard me wrong!

I picked up the top door bar in my hand and gently tapped on the floor of the hall, and there seemed to be something unusual. But just now, when I was obviously in the third blow, I heard a resonant sound from the ground, this voice is not obvious, I am afraid that only a naturally sharp ear like me can hear some clues, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice.

The underground resonates, indicating that there is a hollow section underneath. But it doesn't sound so obvious, judging from this situation, there are probably only two possibilities, first, the hollow part of the underground is relatively deep, and there is a fairly thick layer of soil in between. Another possibility is that when it was built, it was deliberately soundproofed.

But in either case, there is still a resonant sound coming up, which shows that there is not a small space below! I began to involuntarily think that there was probably one or even several secret rooms underneath the ancestral house!

However, I tapped the ground again but did not hear the sound just now, I shook my head in confusion, and whispered to myself, "Did I hear it wrong?" Maybe it's not enough? While thinking about it, I increased the strength of my hand, raised the top door bar and knocked it the ground again, and sure enough, the resonant sound came up again!

I was shocked, I heard you right! There's something wrong with this underground!

I never dreamed that there would be a secret hidden underneath my ancestral home. For so many years, I didn't even notice it. But when you think about it, it's not surprising, I only lived here until I was seven years old, and I didn't notice it when I was too young to notice it, and then when I got older, I only came back for the Chinese New Year. Besides, the main hall is a very solemn place in the ancestral house, who dares to mess around here!

Speaking of which, it is only when the ancestors are worshiped and the blessing is struck, and the person who is blessed must have the ear power of me, and these two conditions are added together to be the most likely to be discovered. But in this way, these conditions seem to be tailor-made for me, could it be that when the ancestors of the Zhuo family built this ancestral house, did they think that there would be such a descendant?

For a moment, I was filled with doubts about this discovery. And what makes me most curious is, if there is really a secret room under the Zhuo family's ancestral house, then what is hidden inside? Or maybe it's all wishful thinking.

I was thinking about it when suddenly, Dad's voice came, "Zhuo Ran! What are you doing? You okay? ”

My thoughts were a little disrupted, and I quickly responded, "Oh! Here it comes! With that, he glanced at the floor of the main hall again, turned and walked out.

My dad saw me and asked, "Why is it so long?" As he spoke, he limped and looked twice into the main hall.

I immediately spoke: "Dad, there is ...... in the main hall" In the middle of speaking, I suddenly stopped, thinking that if there was really a secret room underground, since the original ancestor builder built the underground secret room so hidden, and left an opportunity to discover it if certain conditions were met. They must have done this for a special purpose, and since Dad is not the chosen one, I think it's better not to tell him.

Thinking of this, I immediately changed my tone, "The things in the main hall look so familiar, I really miss the days when I was here when I was a child." ”

Dad sighed and patted me on the shoulder, "Alright, let's get ready to eat!" ”

I agreed, but in my heart I was still thinking about what I had just discovered, and I unconsciously began to think about how to go in and see what kind of secret the ancestors of the Zhuo family had left behind, if it was a gold and silver treasure, then I would be rich!

It is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the family of the same sect always sits together for a meal, and according to the custom, this meal is usually eaten in the ancestral house. There is no need for anyone to cook, there are people in the countryside who do the kind of one-stop business of banquets, negotiate the price, and even prepare the ingredients for cooking, plus clean up the mess, all of them are covered.

In fact, I don't have much interest in eating, but I still like this kind of atmosphere and environment, especially when I just come back from the deserted Gobi Desert, and I especially like to be close to this kind of popular place, as if this is how I know to find evidence of my existence.

During the meal, I sat next to the second uncle, just to inquire about the news, after all, only this second uncle was left in my grandfather's generation.

During the banquet, I poured a glass of wine for the second uncle, "Second uncle, this ancestral house must have been around for a long time!" ”

The second uncle took a sip of wine and nodded, "That's nature!" Counting from your grandfather's grandfather's generation, it must have been one hundred and thirty or forty years, to say the least. ”

I then asked, "Then this house is quite sturdy, has it been renovated over the years?" ”

"Tinkering is inevitable, but there hasn't been a major repair yet." The second uncle continued, "The materials used to build the house in those years were real," he said, and he dodged the ground hard, "Look at this ground, why is it so hard and flat, I heard my grandfather say that when he built this house, it used a whole stone!" ”

The second uncle took another sip of wine and said, "My grandfather once told me in advance, when your grandfather's grandfather built this house, the materials were very particular. And many places were designed by your grandfather's grandfather, and even after the house was completed, your grandfather's grandfather repaired it himself for a long time, and a lot of sand and gravel clods were shipped out every day. ”

After listening to this tongue twister about my grandfather, a lot of information made my heart suddenly beat wildly, such as the whole stone!

How can ordinary people use this kind of thing to build a house, I am very familiar with the ancestral house of the Zhuo family, don't forget that my major is ancient civil engineering technology, for the building in front of me, I only need to look at it to see its general structure.

From the surface of the house, it is completely impossible to use a whole piece of stone, let alone use it on the ground. The water table in our place is deep and the soil is compacted, as long as the normal construction process is followed, unless there is an earthquake or other natural disaster, the foundation is not likely to loosen, so it would be a waste to use a whole stone on such a foundation, and I guess my grandfather's grandfather would not have done such a stupid thing.

Speaking of the whole stone, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind that shocked me. After following the second uncle and them for so long, I know that there are only two places where the whole stone is most commonly used, the first is the palace on the ground, and the second is the mausoleum underground! It's certainly not a palace, so that's all that's left......

But our Zhuo family has a cemetery, and it is impossible to build the tomb under the ancestral house, but combined with what we just discovered, if there is a secret room underground, then all this makes sense. It seems that there is no doubt that there is a secret room underground!
