At night, grandma called Yao Ziqing to the room.Looking at the grandson who is already so old, the old man is filled with emotion.The old hand with stinging calluses caressed Yao Ziqing's cheek lovingly.That rough touch made Yao Ziqing feel extremely comfortable, from the bottom of his heart.

Holding the old man's waist with both hands and leaning his head gently on the old man's arms, Yao Ziqing called out "grandma" affectionately.The old man patted him on the back, "How old is he, still acting like a baby with grandma, our little Sier has also grown up, grandma is getting old, I don't know if I can see the day of little Sier"

Yao Ziqing's heart twitched suddenly, it might be difficult to realize this wish for grandma in his whole life.So I changed the topic with a smile, "Grandma is not old, grandma lives a long life, thousand years, long live!"

The old man smiled and slapped him, "That's not an old goblin."

After the two chatted and laughed for a while, the old man's expression gradually calmed down. Looking at Yao Ziqing, his eyes were filled with too many emotions, which made him palpitate inexplicably. "Grandma?"

Looking at Si'er's exquisite eyebrows and eyes, the old man seemed to see the big manor with carved beams and painted buildings and pavilions, the luxury and flashiness of that turbulent era.

At that time, she was only five or six years old. She lost her parents in the turmoil. She had been displaced and had no fixed place to live. Facing the unknown tomorrow, she was always confused and even worried.Unexpectedly, once Fuyuan was lucky enough to be spotted by the eldest lady of the Yao family at that time, she took her back and became a little girl.The Yao family has been scholarly for generations, and it is really a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

To this day, Yao Xiping can't forget what she saw when she walked into Yao's house for the first time.The seventh young master of the Yao family, dressed in Confucian clothes, with delicate and gentle eyes, smiled when he saw Mrs. Yao leading her from afar in the courtyard surrounded by flowers.In an instant those bright colors lost their color in his smile, it was this look that made her remember her whole life.

She is such a talented person with outstanding temperament. She has seen his brilliant life peak, and seen his withering, like a flower withering when it blooms to the extreme, which makes people regret for a lifetime.

At that time, the Yao family, a family with a scholarly family for generations, was naturally the most critical.Those precious authentic works passed down from generation to generation were destroyed beyond recognition at that time.A hundred-year-old family has been noble for generations, and once it falls, it is embarrassing.

When she was nine years old, the fifth wife of the Yao family had no children for many years, and seeing that she was beautiful and smart enough, she wanted to be a foster daughter by her side.In the second year, the adoptive mother gave birth to a son.Maybe it was the blessing she brought, so even though he had an only child, he still cared for her very much.At that time, Qi Shao also became her uncle.

Until the world became more and more chaotic, and the century-old glory became a life-threatening talisman, her adoptive father decided to take her and his adoptive mother, Yao Haoran, who was less than two years old, away from this towering tree that was clinging to and carrying too much.

The four of them left far away, even if life is no longer as rich as before, but at least it is stable.They didn't know that the Yao family soon fell apart after they left. About when Yao Haoran was ten years old, my uncle got the news about them from nowhere, so he searched for them.That magnificent man, although he was only thirty years old, was already in his dying years.

The uncle who was as elegant as a banished fairy in memory was carried in front of them with an old and exhausted attitude.Even if he hadn't brought the wooden box inherited from the Yao family, the adoptive father would not have believed that he was his seventh younger brother who carried all the hopes of the family.

Yao Haoran was still young, so the adoptive mother sent them away.She heard the old and shrill cry, and when she looked back, she saw the eyes of fear and despair.Startled, he immediately took Haoran away quickly.Later, the adoptive father and adoptive mother passed away one after another. When the adoptive father was dying, he gave the wooden box to her and told her that if possible, he would not let it be displayed in front of the world again in this life.

She was also puzzled, "Then why not just destroy it, or find a place where there is no one to bury it, even if there is something terrible in it, if someone digs it out, it has nothing to do with our family."

But the adoptive father just shook his head, "Because... there is a glimmer of life in the Yao family, which has been passed down from generation to generation. It must not be leaked until the last moment. Ping'er, Haoran is still young. In the future, the Yao family will There are only two of you left, you have to support each other and live well, you know?"

When Haoran got married, she handed over this wooden box to him.Unexpectedly, Yao Yuman brought her by her side after going around for a while.She didn't know what the lifeline her adoptive father was talking about, since it was passed down from generation to generation by the Yao family's ancestors, it might not be a simple thing.She doesn't know what people are left in the Yao family, and she has no way of finding them.

When Si'er fell ill suddenly, maybe even terminally ill, her first reaction was that if there was really a glimmer of life in the wooden box, then there would be hope for Si'er's illness.But it wasn't long before this thought came up, Si'er recovered as if nothing had happened.No matter what is in this box, it will be handed over to Si'er one day.

Grandma just talked about the box to Si'er, but she didn't say much about the others.In her heart, her surname is Yao, she grew up in Yao's family, Yao Haoran is her own younger brother, and Si'er is her own grandson, that's enough.

Yao Ziqing looked in front of him and could see the radiant gold thread on the box even under dim light. He didn't understand these, but he saw at a glance that it was Jinsinan ebony, also known as Jinsiwu.He once went to an auction. A jewelry box the size of a bracelet was made by Jinsiwu, but the wooden box was made of spliced ​​pieces, not a complete piece of wood, but sold for hundreds of dollars. million price.

And the wooden box in his hand now is definitely a complete piece of wood, and even if you don't look carefully, you can't see the opening.The wooden box is not like a box with a lock, but a lock that is pushed open on one side of the box, so it looks very complete.It is the craftsmanship of this carving that is enough to explain the preciousness of this box.If the time is longer, tens of millions are worth it in the eyes of collectors.

When the family had such a difficult time before, grandma didn't take this out and sell it. This was Yao Ziqing's first reaction when he got the wooden box...

But in the next moment, he felt his heart beating violently uncontrollably, and the excitement that couldn't help gushing from his chest suddenly became very strong for some reason.In an instant, Yao Ziqing realized that the contents of this box were definitely related to space!

Grandma touched Si'er's head, and said with some concern, "Si'er, grandma didn't give you this thing before, because she was afraid that you would be too young to stop your curiosity, and grandma is getting older, so her memory will get worse It's getting worse, I'm afraid that one day I'll forget it when I wake up, and now I'll give this thing to you, grandma hopes, if you have anything to do, you can listen to your second brother, your second brother has an idea, everything can be done They help each other generously, your eldest brother has soft ears, and your third brother is still an idiot. In this family, only your second brother can support it."

Yao Ziqing suddenly burst out laughing, "Grandma, don't underestimate the eldest brother and the third brother. Our family's brothers can hold up a sky if you just take them out. What grandma taught, there are still bad things." "

Grandma poked him on the forehead, "You are the one who is so sweet. Grandma doesn't want you to go out to fight against the sky. As long as the brothers live a good life in the future, even if grandma is gone someday, you should love each other and take care of each other like this, you know?"

Yao Ziqing nodded again and again, the relationship between the brothers is good, and there will never be any incidents of brothers fighting against each other.I talked to grandma for a while, and it was getting late, so I went back to the room with the box in my arms.

That night, Yao Xiping had a dream that she hadn't had for a long time.In the dream, that noble and elegant man smiled at her as gently and warmly as the rising sun in the blooming garden.

Lei Xiao set up the mosquito net, which is a must-have for almost every household in the village. Feeling that the room was a bit stuffy, he poured a basin of water and sprinkled it on the ground, blowing it with an electric fan.When he returned to the room after taking a shower, the temperature was not as stuffy as before.

Lei Li lit two coils of mosquito coils, the mosquitoes are getting more and more vicious now, sometimes even the mosquito nets can't prevent them, so he can only light two coils of mosquito coils.One tray is placed under the bed, and the other tray is placed by the door of the house.The weather is hot, and the door and window are not closed when sleeping at night. It is just a layer of screens to keep out mosquitoes.

Seeing Lei Xiao go to bed with the computer, he fixed the mosquito net for him, "Go to bed early, the holiday is only two days away, take advantage of these two days to have a good rest, there should be air-conditioning in your army room, right?"

Lei Xiao hummed, Lei Li felt relieved, thought for a while and then frowned and said, "There is no air-conditioning in Sier's school, and his side is relatively dry, so the heat may be even more difficult. Xiaoer, anyway, it is necessary to Those who are suspended from school, why don't you just go now, don't let Si'er go back to school, San'er came back today, his body is peeling, and it still hurts after applying the medicine."

Lei Xiao also thought this way before, but he was worried about returning to school in the future.After all, there are only two months left in my junior year, and now I have to go to my junior year again when I take a break from school.

"Let's ask Si'er what he means later."

Lei Li nodded, seeing that there was nothing to say, he turned around and went out to work on the mosquito control in grandma's room.

Not long after Lei Li left, Yao Ziqing came into the house with Heizi in his arms. Seeing that the mosquito net had been set up, he smiled and threw himself on the bed with the box in his arms. Buzzing around the ear, second brother, grandma gave me this." Then he handed the wooden box to the second brother, then closed the mosquito net and climbed to the place where he was used to sleeping inside the bed.

Lei Xiao looked at the wooden box, he had seen this box before, and it was hidden on the beam of the warehouse at home, where even mice would not visit.However, he just took a look at such a valuable thing hidden in the house, turned around and forgot about it.Now that I see it, I remember it.

Yao Ziqing didn't know that the second brother had seen it when he was a child, so he leaned over to him and talked about the history of the box. After speaking, he looked at the second brother expectantly, "Can you guess what's inside? It's scary to hear grandma say it." things, but the feeling I hold in my hand is not dangerous, but rather excited and even kind.”

He changed his posture and leaned half of his body on Lei Xiao, "Second brother, tell me, did my ancestors have a very powerful person, such as an immortal who ascended to immortality? Counting many, many years later, the Yao family's The children and grandchildren will die in the face of disaster, so leave this glimmer of life?"

The more Yao Ziqing thought about it, the more he felt that there was a possibility. Maybe he was the only one left in the Yao family, so after his death in the last life, maybe it was the things in this wooden box that brought him back to life.But it's not right to think this way. Grandma never gave him anything in the previous life.Maybe it was getting harder and harder in the last life.It's going to be hard to survive, grandma opened up this lifeline, so he was reborn?

But no matter what the reason is, there is no trace to be found.Looking at the flipped box in the second brother's hand, Yao Ziqing took it over and shook it.The box itself was a bit heavy, but the contents inside made no sound, and it was impossible to guess what it was.

"Second brother, do you want to open it? I want to open it, and I'm scratching my head. I wish I could open it now, but I'm afraid there will be something terrible like a curse inside."

Lei Xiao shook his head, "Don't move for now, just let it go"

Yao Ziqing was a little disappointed, and wanted to see what was inside, but since the second brother said so, he would naturally follow suit.After taking the box, it disappeared from my hand in an instant.Sure enough, it is convenient to put something directly in the space, but in the next second, Yao Ziqing's entire company changed, and he stared at the second brother with wide eyes in horror.
