Chapter 1 Ancestral Jade Pendant

Next Chapter

A remote mountain village, with blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green water, fresh air, and a smoky fairyland from afar.

From time to time, the sound of laughter like silver bells sounded in the mountains and forests, and the irritable mood of people working in the terraced fields was calmed down by the hot summer heat

"Hahaha... I've been admitted! I've been admitted to university..."At the beginning of summer, the snow was like an elf shuttling through the mountains and forests.

Running fast, I want to tell the good news to my grandmother, who is closest to her and depends on each other.

The top of a hill was flat, with two stone huts and a small house made of mud and straw in the middle.

That's where Xia Chuxue and her grandmother have been living together all along.

Gently pushing open the shabby and heavy door, she walked in with the admission letter in her hand and her face was red.

My grandmother's biggest wish has always been to get admitted to university, and now that she has finally got her wish, she will definitely be very happy, and the doctor said that as long as she is in a good mood, her condition will naturally improve.

"Grandma, I... I was admitted to the university, it is the best Fuqing university in China, my score line is the highest in the school, and there will be a scholarship when the time comes, and we don't have to worry about the tuition fee!"

The voice was quick and soft, for fear of disturbing the old man who was lingering on the sickbed.

"The outcast is so good, outside... Grandma has finally waited for this day!"

The old man on the bed with a wrinkled face and a dead air between his brows struggled to get up.

She was skinny and skinny, and like the snow at the beginning of summer, she was caused by long-term malnutrition.

"Grandma, do you want water?"

Xia Chuxue hurriedly helped the old man on the bed to sit up.

Her milk name is foundling, and as the name suggests, 'abandoned' means discarded.

"No... I'm not thirsty, do your uncles know you're in college?" the old woman was so weak that she couldn't speak.

"I didn't tell them!" she replied politely.

"You go and tell them, let the three uncles come over, I have something to explain!"

When the old man said this, he felt like he was explaining what was going on. At the beginning of summer, Xue suddenly burst into tears of fright.

"My sweetheart, don't be angry with a few uncles, as long as you are soft and promise that you will never forget them after you become a talent, maybe you will have the money to go to college!"

The old man hadn't seen those three sons for several years, and although he had already made trouble to the point of not getting along with each other, he was his own in the end, so how could he not want to?

Maybe they'll come and see it for the sake of their own death!

"Grandma, I have a scholarship ......"

"Go, I'm going to die, I want to see them one last time!"

The old man kept urging, for fear that he wouldn't be able to survive that breath.

"Okay, okay..."Xia Chuxue ran out crying, and the admission letter was thrown on the table casually.

Grandma suffered too much in order to pull her, and it was because of herself that she caused today's situation between several uncles and grandmothers.

Xia Chuxue's uncles' residences were not far from her grandmother's house, and the houses of the three brothers were all built on relatively gentle mountain tops, with three mountains next to each other.

"Uncle, grandma is about to die, you... Go and see!" she cried silently, not for anything else, but for the suffering of her grandmother's life.

Xia Chuxue's uncle had just finished going to the field to rest at home for crops, when he suddenly heard the news, his body was like being electrified, a spirit.

"You... What do you say?" his hand tightly grasped Xia Chuxue's clothes, and his voice was a little choked.

"Woo woo grandma he's dying, she said... Want to see you... You guys!" her tears flowed even more, and she choked up even to speak.

"Oh hey, I said who is this? It turns out that no one wants a wild seed outcast, didn't you say that you wouldn't set foot in our house if you were killed? Why, this is going to be regretted? Cut, or a cultural person who has gone to school, it's really shameless!"

Out of the room came a short, chubby middle-aged woman, with freckles on her face, and when she saw the snow coming at the beginning of summer, her bitter image was revealed.

"Auntie!"

Although several years have passed, she is still terrified from the bottom of her heart when she sees this eldest aunt.

I still remember how this aunt abused me at the beginning, and it is for this reason that my grandmother turned her face with them and lived another life alone.

"Hmph! I can't afford to climb high, how can I say that you are a learned person, you shouldn't forget what you said at the beginning, do you want me to remind you?"

The eldest aunt said unforgiving words in her mouth, and reached out to snatch the bench that the eldest uncle prepared for Xia Chuxue.

"Our two families have long been incompatible, hurry up and get out, I advise you, don't waste time in our house, otherwise your grandmother won't see you for the last time!"

After speaking, he looked at his uncle obliquely with his inverted triangular eyes.

"If you dare to go quietly to see the dead old woman, the old lady is not finished with you!"

After speaking, he didn't care about the other party's reaction, he walked directly into the bedroom, tripped under something, and kicked things aside with a curse.

"Uncle?"

"You go to your second uncle's house and ask first, I'll ...... Alas!"

What's the use of saying more now? A thousand words turn into a sigh.

Xia Chuxue saw that the eldest uncle had made up his mind, and he didn't dwell on it anymore, and turned around to go to the second uncle's house.

About an hour later.

"How's it going, foundling? Your uncle...... Didn't you come?"

When the old man saw the door open, he craned his neck to look out, but there was no one to be seen.

"Grandma, I'm sorry, I... I..."

"Okay! Grandma understands, she understands!"

The old man hid the loss in his eyes, put his cracked and wrinkled hand under the mattress, and groped in it a few times before taking out a green jade pendant.

The jade pendant is engraved with a jade Buddha, the jade Buddha is carved vividly, just like alive, the jade green is crystal clear, the water head is very sufficient, in the dim light, it looks so dazzling, people like it at a glance.

It was threaded up by a black rope, and the rope was held by the withered old hand, and the jade pendant kept swaying in the air, swaying back and forth.

"Grandma, is this..."

The old man brought the jade pendant to Xia Chuxue's neck and looked at her kindly.

"This jade pendant was the ancestral heirloom of our Xia family, the daughter is not the man, I gave this to your mother, she left it before she left, when you were still young, grandma was afraid that you would accidentally lose it, so it has been kept, now... I don't have the ability to provide for you to go to college, so you can sell this jade pendant!"

After saying these words, the old man's face suddenly lost its original color, and immediately collapsed to the bed.

"Woo... Grandma, I can't be the ancestral treasure of the Xia family!
