The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Among the books in Lu Yanyan’s dowry, there was a book called "Strange Stories", which included folk fantasy stories.

One of the stories mentioned an object called Shi Nie, which the book described as "hard as stone, black as ink, hidden deep in the mountains, and having a strange odor when burned."

Han Huaijin was still young at that time, and this book was just a storybook, so he didn't take it seriously.

But some time ago, he saw a book called "Records of Strange Things" in the library of Prince Lin's Mansion.

"Records of Strange Things" records some strange and bizarre things, including flying wooden birds, mermaid beads, fire-resistant cloth, etc., and also mentions a kind of coal.

The book "Records of Strange Things" describes coal as "black as black gold, hard in texture, hidden underground, and when it burns, flames rise into the sky."

The three King Lins and their sons all took notes on this book.

King Lin commented that the flying wooden bird was "fake", the fire-washing cloth was "real", and the dream-wandering pillow was "unreliable".

Li Jiren commented that the ice silkworm "does not exist", the kaleidoscope "is made of expensive glass", and the celestial globe "may be worth a try".

Li Jiren commented on the mermaid pearls, "Pearls are pearls, where do mermaids come from?" He also called the incense burner "literary hypocrisy" and the ivory mat "extravagant and extravagant."

Only towards coal did the father and his two sons have surprisingly consistent attitudes. The three different handwritings all contained only one word - search.

However, I don’t know whether there is no such thing as coal, or Prince Lin’s Mansion is too busy to find it.

There is no substance called coal in the world today.

When Han Huaijin saw the records about coal, he immediately thought of Shi Nie in Folk Tales.

He suspected that the two items were the same thing.

Prince Lin and his son have extraordinary knowledge and vision. Since the three of them want to find it, it means that this kind of thing is very likely to exist.

The black lump that Han Huaijin picked up from the rabbit's nest smelled a bit pungent.

He didn't think that he could pick up a "rare item" that might not exist in the world just by picking it up casually.

But when he saw that the black block was somewhat similar to the description in the book, he took it back to Prince Lin's Mansion with the attitude of giving it a try.

When we returned to Prince Lin's Mansion, it was already dark.

Han Huaijin went to bed after washing up.

In his dream, he seemed to see a figure standing in the raging fire.

Han Huaijin woke up suddenly. He touched the sweat on his head and didn't know why he had such a strange dream.

After taking a few deep breaths, Han Huaijin fell asleep again, and this time he didn't dream...

When Han Huaijin was awakened from his sleep, Lu Yanyan also woke up.

These days, she has been thinking about the blue-gray porcelain bottle. Not knowing whether she was dreaming or remembering her childhood, Lu Yanyan suddenly sat up.

Han Qingyun thought she was having a nightmare and quickly lit a candle.

"What's wrong? Are you too tired lately and dreaming?"

Lu Yanyan's eyes were a little out of focus, which scared Han Qingyun.

Han Qingyun hugged his wife and gently patted her back.

After a long while, Lu Yanyan's faint voice sounded.

"I know where the golden gourd leaf is..."

That year, Lu Yanyan was two and a half years old, and her grandmother Qu passed away.

The Qu family is a member of the Yun tribe and needs to be cremated after death.

Lu Defu and his wife were deeply in love, and Qu's death was a great blow to him. As a person from the Central Plains, cremation was something he could not understand.

But the Qu clan members cannot go against the Yun clan traditions.

The two sides argued for a while, and finally Lu Defu gave in.

Lu Defu held the jar containing Qu's ashes and cried uncontrollably.

He told Lu Youtian that he bought two identical urns.

When he died, he would be cremated like his wife, and Lu Youtian would put the two urns in one coffin and bury them together.

Lu Youtian was already heartbroken over his mother's death, and was further angered by his father's willful words, so much so that he ignored him for three days.

Lu Defu knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he couldn't apologize to his son, so he could only hug Lu Yanyan and cry.

Lu Yanyan was very young at that time and had no idea why her grandfather was so sad. She could only wipe away his tears over and over again with her little hands.

The joint burial of a husband and wife refers to the same tomb, not the same coffin.

But Lu Defu was obsessed with the idea of ​​putting something that represented himself in his wife's coffin.

He couldn't tell this to his son, so he could only tell his granddaughter, but she wouldn't understand anyway.

Lu Yanyan really didn't understand, but when her grandfather took out the urn he bought for her and asked her to choose something to put in it, she threw in the golden gourd leaf hanging around her neck.

Lu Defu opened his eyes wide. This was the Lu family's heirloom. How could it be buried in the coffin?

He took out the gourd leaves and Lu Yanyan threw them in. He took them out again and Lu Yanyan threw them in again.

I don’t know what Lu Defu was thinking at the time, but he didn’t take it out in the end.

When Lu Youtian saw his father put both urns into his mother's coffin, he knew that his father would never mention cremation again, so he didn't say anything else.

The only people who knew about this were Lu Defu, who has passed away, and Lu Yanyan, who could not remember anything at the time.

I never thought that many years later, it was because of this reason that I was able to save the gourd leaves from being taken away...

Han Qingyun and his group have achieved all the purposes of their trip.

After meeting up with Lu Fugui and Dalin in Shangyang Prefecture, they were about to go home.

The news that Yao Qiming had been reappointed as the prefect of Shangyang Prefecture and that the Jiyang Army had withdrawn from Wuping County had spread.

When the Jiyang Army withdrew from Wuping County, the Ministry of Personnel selected several officials to manage Wuping County.

Some of the people from Shangyang Prefecture who had left earlier have returned one after another.

Where is my hometown looking from afar? I have been dreaming of it for many years.

No matter how good or bad a foreign land is, it is still hard to leave your hometown.

Now Shangyang Prefecture has begun to gradually regain its former bustle.

When they arrived in Wuping County, Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan first returned to Fengye Village to burn incense for Han Hongyuan.

Fengye Village is the village closest to the county seat and was also the village that suffered the heaviest massacre.

Of the people who stayed in Fengye Village that day, no one survived except Han Sanqian who escaped.

When Prince Lin and Li Jiren were in Wuping County, most of the dead people were burned and their ashes were scattered everywhere, making it impossible to collect them.

The same is true for Fengye Village.

Later, the soldiers brought by King Lin built an empty tomb for the people in each village, and the name of the village was written on the tombstone.

After offering incense to Han Hongyuan, Han Qingyun also offered incense to the grave in Fengye Village.

"My fellow uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters of Fengye Village, I will definitely find out the truth of last year and avenge you!"

The two of them bowed three times to the empty grave.

Zhao Xingwu felt sad and knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhao Xingwu did not return to Zhaojia Village. His family was a hunter and their relationship with the villagers was not good.

The gate to the Han family's courtyard was wide open, and the house was in a mess. It was unclear whether it was done by the thugs from last year or by Ji Siyuan's men.

All the porcelain vases and paintings that were of some value were gone, and most of the Han family's books were taken away by Han Huaijin.

Now the house is empty.

Han Qingyun put all the books and clothes that he couldn't take away last year into the car.

They probably won’t have many opportunities to return to Fengye Village in the future, so just treat these as a reminder.

In the afternoon, they followed Lu Fugui to the Lu family's ancestral tomb.

Lu Fugui already knew that the golden gourd leaves were in his grandmother's coffin.

He didn't know what to feel.

The gourd leaves were left by our ancestors, but now they can only be buried underground with our grandparents.

But if it hadn't been buried underground, it would have been taken away long ago.

The Lu and Han families are probably in great danger as well...
