Chapter 409: Another Chess Book
It didn't take long for Patriarch Hong to come and invite them to talk in the courtyard over there.
Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan carried small chairs and followed Hong Yongshun to the courtyard over there, only to see that this was probably a barn in their village.
There weren't a lot of people, but they were all messy.
Hong Yongshun called Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan to a room, where Hong Yongshun was seated, and there were four men, his two sons Hong Guangming and Hong Yonggui, as well as a cousin and a nephew.
"We decided to buy a pump and a generator, but we didn't have that much money, so we exchanged things." Hong Yongshun said to Hong Guangming, "Go and get the chess game." ”
Hong Guangming immediately went to get it, and it was another iron box.
Hong Guangming handed it to Zhou Yan and said: "This is handed down by our ancestors, we don't know what it is for, to be honest, none of us can play chess, we don't know if it's worth it, in the past few years, people have been asking if there are old objects, my father has been secretly hiding." Let's see if you can change the grain, the pump and the generator? ”
Zhou Yan glanced at it a few times and handed it to Liang Xiaonan, it was not that he had never seen old objects, and he really couldn't look at a chess book.
Liang Xiaonan put on gloves and looked through the chess book, a very ordinary chess book, even a little clumsy, the handwriting was very sloppy and childish, and he couldn't see any "baby" temperament.
Hong Yongshun did a slippery thing, and Liang Xiaonan would not easily believe him.
"Patriarch Hong, in fact, you don't have to exchange things, we came to Binhong this time, and there is cooperation with the city, and there will be a boatload of supplies directly delivered to the city government in two days, and you will receive it then."
Liang Xiaonan returned the things and said, "We don't want your ancestral treasures either." ”
Hong Yongshun's old face was a little unbearable, the supplies arrived in the city, let alone one boat, even if it was 10 boats, it was impossible to allocate a pumping machine and a generator to their village.
How many districts, how many counties, how many towns, how many villages are there in Binhong? A shipload of supplies can't be divided in the whole city, how can it be divided into pumping machines and generators?
Patriarch Hong said helplessly: "I know you don't like it either, in fact, we have passed down this chess book from generation to generation, and we have always felt that it is more like the practice of our ancestors who learned to practice calligraphy, but it can be passed down from generation to generation, we think there must be a reason for it." ”
Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily, Bai Jingqi from the Baicao Hall also put a bubble of stool into a brocade box and used it as 2,000 taels of silver!" For example, there have always been rumors that there is an emperor's tomb here, but so far only a few stone horses have been seen on the ground, and who can say whether there is a coffin underground? ”
Hong Yongshun's face is already ugly, all the tricks he has played have been seen through by this young man, right?
He made up his mind and said, "I still have some things in my secret, they don't know about them, you bring them, I'll give them to you." ”
The young man called Jiaxing, walked over, stuffed the chess book directly to Zhou Yan, and said: "Big brother, you can take it, my ancestors have passed it down from generation to generation, whether it is a treasure or not, it has been more than 100 years, it is finally a thing, you can take it, even if you help us." ”
The young man still spoke like that.
Zhou Yan handed the chess book to Liang Xiaonan, and Liang Xiaonan accepted it and put it in his back basket along with the iron box.
Hong Jiaxing is right, whether this chess game is an antique or not, in terms of time, it is already an old object.
And she feels that it should not be a coincidence that she received two chess games today!
Liang Xiaonan stood up, took Zhou Yan's hand and walked out, and said, "It's late, let's go first, and tomorrow we will find a way to bring you what you urgently need." ”
Hong Yongshun said that he couldn't go out at night, it was too dangerous, and both of them said no, they had flashlights, and they were in a hurry to go back and transfer things for them.
Hong Jiaxing lit a torch to send them, and Liang Xiaonan took out two emergency lights from the space, the strong light was like a small sun.
Hong Jiaxing said greedily: "Can I take a look?" ”
Liang Xiaonan handed it to him, Hong Jiaxing looked at it over and over, he couldn't put it down, Zhou Yan took it and said, "Don't look at it, we still have to hurry." ”
Hong Jiaxing reluctantly gave the emergency light to Zhou Yan, and watched the two of them walk towards the highway with the light.
Hong Jiaxing watched them go away, returned to the yard, and said to Hong Yongshun enviously: "Grandpa, you don't know, their electric light is much brighter than a flashlight, it is simply two little suns, I look like the headlights in front of a big truck." ”
He gestured to Hong Yongshun, square, two big lights.
Hong Yongshun listened and said, "You are talking about emergency lights, I have seen them in the hospital before." ”
"Grandpa, let's get one too, with such a bright light, people will never walk and walk at night."
A few days ago, his second uncle was hungry, so he risked his life to go to the old house to find some food, and never came back.
Hong Yongshun was silent for a long time, and suddenly said to his son and cousin: "Tomorrow he really wants to bring the things that live, I want to open the basement and give them the things." ”
A few years ago, a geologist came to the area, saying that it was prone to landslides, and suggested that they relocate, and the district meant that they wanted to break them up and intersperse them in various villages.
He didn't agree at the time, and he regretted that such a big disaster happened this year.
And the so-called guarding the tomb, he slowly became suspicious, because he also went to check the history, checked all kinds of information to detect the tomb, and he felt that they were probably fooled by the ancestors.
While it's hard to admit it, it's true.
It's just that Hong Yongshun can't tell all the clansmen clearly, otherwise, the fact that they have held on to so many generations and taken human lives while keeping a joke is unacceptable.
He wanted to open the basement and give it to the whole village in exchange for something to live, telling them that the disaster had passed, everyone should disperse, and it didn't matter if people weren't together, just be together.
Hong Guangming said: "Dad, how many things are in the basement?" ”
The cousin looked at him too.
Hong Yongshun sighed and said, "There is really something, I didn't take it out earlier?" Historically, every head of the family has taken the key to see the property in the basement, in fact, where is the property, just to stabilize the hearts of the clan. Each head of the family kept some in it in case of a catastrophe in the clan. My father was obsessed with calligraphy and painting, he didn't save anything else, only bought a lot of modern paintings and calligraphy, the year is still short, and now it is not popular to play calligraphy and painting, just a pile of waste paper. ”
Hong Yonggui said: "Then you opened the basement and gave those two young people these calligraphy and paintings?" ”
"No, there really is a treasure on the ancestor, an opal." Even Hong Yongshun didn't have the confidence to say this, an opal, who cares!
Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan walked out for a while, and Liang Xiaonan pulled Zhou Yan into the space, which is the most comfortable, neither hot nor cold, the air is fresh and sweet.
Liang Xiaonan personally cooked, made a table of meals, and the two of them had a good meal and began to study the two chess books.
To be honest, I really can't see anything special about the two chess books, Liang Xiaonan doesn't know Go, but Zhou Yan is very proficient, he turned over the two chess books and read them a few times.
"This chess game is really exquisite, especially the book of Tianji, the chess path is very exquisite."
"I'm not interested in chess games, I just want to see why they have such a big trick in a chess game. I looked over there today, and I didn't see any tombs and dungeons underground, so isn't this chess game also fooling people? ”
Liang Xiaonan threw the book aside, but unfortunately threw the book in the basin where Zhou Yan washed his face.
Zhou Yan hurriedly went to fish out the book, and spread it out page by page in distress.
Flipping through it, he shouted loudly: "Xiaonan, come and see." ”
