Chapter 410 Another chess record
Not long after, Patriarch Hong came to invite them to talk in the yard over there.
Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan carried small chairs and followed Hong Yongshun to the yard over there, only to see there, it was probably a barn in their village or something.
There are not too many people, but they are all in a mess.
Hong Yongshun called Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan into a room where Hong Yongshun was sitting, and there were four men, his two sons Hong Guangming and Hong Yonggui, a cousin and a nephew.
"We decided to buy water pumps and generators, but we don't have that much money, so we exchange them." Hong Yongshun said to Hong Guangming, "Go and get the chess records."
Hong Guangming went to get it immediately, and it was another iron box.
Hong Guangming handed it to Zhou Yan and said: "This is handed down from our ancestors, and we don't know what it is for. To be honest, none of us can play chess. We don't know whether it is worth money. It has been used for several years. Some people come to ask if there are any old objects, my father has been hiding them secretly. Can you see if you can exchange food, water pumps and generators?"
Zhou Yan took a few glances and handed it to Liang Xiaonan. It's not like he hasn't seen old objects before, and he really doesn't like a chess record.
Liang Xiaonan put on his gloves and flipped through the chess record. It was a very ordinary chess record, even a bit clumsy.
Hong Yongshun did something slippery once, Liang Xiaonan would not easily believe him.
"Patriarch Hong, in fact, you don't need to exchange things. We have cooperated with the city when we came to Binhong this time. In two days, a ship of supplies will be delivered directly to the city government, and you will receive them at that time."
Liang Xiaonan returned the things and said, "We don't want your ancestral treasure either."
Hong Yongshun was a bit frustrated with his old face. When the supplies arrived in the city, let alone one ship, even 10 ships, it was impossible to allocate a pump and a generator to their village.
How many districts, counties, towns, and villages are there in Binhong? The whole city can't divide a ship of supplies, how can it be possible to divide the pumps 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. We have always felt that it is more like an exercise for beginners to learn calligraphy from our ancestors. But if it can be passed down from generation to generation, we want to There must be a reason for it."
Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. Bai Jingqi from Baicao Hall used to put a **** into a brocade box and **** it for 2,000 taels of silver! For example, there have been rumors that there is an emperor's tomb here, but so far only the tombs have been seen. The few stone horses on the ground, who can tell if there are coffins underground?"
Hong Yongshun's complexion is already ugly, the tricks he played have been seen through by this young man, right?
He made up his mind and said: "I also hid some things privately, and they don't even know about them. If you bring them, I'll give them to you."
The young man named Jiaxing came over, handed the chess book directly to Zhou Yan, and said: "Brother, take it, it has been passed down from generation to generation, whether it is a treasure or not, it has been more than 100 years. It’s a toy, take it, and you’ll be doing us a favor.”
The young man still speaks decently.
Zhou Yan handed the chess book to Liang Xiaonan, Liang Xiaonan took it, and put it in his back basket together with the iron box.
Hong Jiaxing is right, no matter whether this chess record is an antique or not, in terms of time, it is already an old object.
And she felt that it shouldn't be a coincidence that she received two chess books today!
Liang Xiaonan stood up, took Zhou Yan's hand and walked out, saying: "It's getting late, let's go first, 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 arrange things for them.
Hong Jiaxing lit a torch to send them off. Liang Xiaonan took out two emergency lights from the space. The strong light was like a little sun.
Hong Jiaxing said greedily, "Can I have a look?"
Liang Xiaonan handed it to him. Hong Jiaxing looked at it over and over again, unable to put it down. Zhou Yan took it over and said, "Don't look at it, we have to hurry."
Hong Jiaxing reluctantly gave the emergency light to Zhou Yan, and watched the two of them walking towards the road with the light.
Hong Jiaxing watched them walk 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 like two small suns, I look like the headlights in front of a big truck. "
He gestured to Hong Yongshun, square, with two big lights.
Hong Yongshun listened and said: "You are talking about emergency lights, I have seen them in hospitals before."
"Grandpa, let's get one too. With such a bright light, people will never walk around at night and disappear."
A few days ago, his second uncle was hungry because of his child, so he went to the old house to find something to eat, and never came back.
Hong Yongshun was silent for a long time, and suddenly said to his son and cousin: "Tomorrow he will really bring the living things. I want to open the basement and give them the things."
A few years ago, some geologists came here and said that landslides are very easy here, and suggested that they move.
He did not agree at the time, and he regretted such a big disaster this year.
Besides, he gradually became suspicious of the so-called guardian of the tomb, because he also checked the history and various information about the detection of the tomb. He felt that they might have been fooled by their ancestors.
While it's hard to admit this, it's true.
It’s just that Hong Yongshun couldn’t tell all the clansman clearly, otherwise, the fact that they persisted for so many generations and took human life, but kept a joke, is unacceptable.
He wanted to open the basement and exchange life-saving items for the whole village, and tell them that the disaster is over and everyone should disperse.
Hong Guangming said: "Dad, how many things are there in the basement?"
The cousin also looked at him.
Hong Yongshun sighed and said: "There is really something, I didn't take it out long ago? Historically, every patriarch took the key to look at the property in the basement. In fact, where is there any property? Some, in case of a catastrophe in the family. My father is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, he didn’t save anything else, he only bought a lot of modern calligraphy and painting, the year is still young, and it’s not popular to play with calligraphy and painting now, it’s just a pile of waste paper.”
Hong Yonggui said: "Then you opened the basement and gave these two young people these calligraphy and paintings?"
"No, the ancestors really have a treasure, an opal." Even Hong Yongshun didn't have the confidence when he said this, who would care about an opal!
Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan walked for a while, and Liang Xiaonan dragged Zhou Yan into the space. This is the most comfortable place, neither hot nor cold, and the air is fresh and sweet.
Liang Xiaonan cooked the kitchen himself and made a table of meals. After a good meal, the two 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 read the two chess books several times.
"This chess record is really exquisite, especially the book of Tianji, the chess moves are very delicate."
"I'm not interested in chess records, I just want to see why they still play such a big trick on a chess record? I looked over there today, and I didn't see any underground palaces with large tombs, so is this chess record the same? A fool?"
Liang Xiaonan threw the book to the side, and by chance, he threw the book into the basin where Zhou Yan washed his face.
Zhou Yan hurriedly fished out the book, and spread out the water page by page in distress.
Flipping through the pages, he shouted: "Xiaonan, come and see."
