2. Heirloom treasures
‘Chun’er, are you still sleepy?’ asked the village chief.
‘Not sleepy.’ Yuchun didn’t feel sleepy at all.
'Come on, grandpa will take you to the stone house at the back and tell you something. It should help you understand more and stop you from being curious, haha.'
The old village chief got down from the stone and walked slowly in front.
Bai Yuchun didn't know what the village chief grandfather wanted to say, but he never asked what others didn't want to talk about.
Kimura is not big. The distance from the village entrance to the stone house at the back is only a hundred or two hundred meters, and it doesn't take long to get there.
The old village chief stood outside the door and looked at the stone house. He opened the door and walked in. Bai Yuchun followed him into the stone house.
There is nothing special about this stone house, it is not very big, and the furnishings inside are also very simple. There are only a few wooden pillars. On the wall in front is the family tree of Kimura. Below is a simple sacrificial platform with incense sticks.
The altar, the incense of a few old mangos, and a few wild fruits, but nothing else.
The appearance of this house is familiar to Bai Yuchun. As a teenage boy, when he was naughty a few years ago, he and a few friends would sneak in secretly. Several times, they were caught while eating the wild fruits above.
When Uncle Tiger saw it, he gave chase and the little guys were so scared that they didn't dare to come out for a day or two.
"Chun'er is just ten years old this year. Among you, your mind is the best at remembering things, while Long'er is the most naughty." The village chief said slowly while lighting the old man's head.
Xiang, bowed to the family tree, then turned to Bai Yuchun and said;
'Come on Chun'er, sit down.'
Bai Yuchun sat on the wooden pillar obediently.
'Today, let me tell you the story of our village. As many as you can remember, so that you can tell it to your future children. Telling the stories of our people to future generations will be considered worthy of our ancestors.
.'
On weekdays, the village chief is responsible for the children's physical exercise, literacy, reading and reasoning. This is because the village chief is recognized as the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable person in the village. He is also the only one in recent generations.
He really went out to live a good life. Another reason is that the village chief really likes children. Not to mention Bai Yuchun, he is his father. Many of them were taken care of by the village chief when they were young.
Bai Yuchun nodded seriously and looked at the village chief grandfather.
'Our Kimura, our origin is too old and cannot be verified. I have already said this, but our ancestors have lived in this village for generations and have never left. Do you know why?'
Bai Yuchun shook his head. In fact, Bai Yuchun was also curious. The village chief grandpa said tonight that the outside world is so wonderful, why haven't we gone out to see it.
'Haha, I know that not only you are curious, but everyone is curious, even your father and the others are curious.'
The village chief glanced at Bai Yuchun and said with a smile: 'It's good to be young, hehehe.'
'The origin of our village is not ordinary. I heard from the elders that in ancient times, our village produced powerful men of the supreme level. Later, due to some reasons, most likely to avoid vendetta, we
After arriving at this place, I have been living in the present.'
The village chief admired the legend that his ancestor could produce a Supreme Being. After all, a figure like the Supreme Being was so amazing that he was like a god.
'This is a legend, and another legend left behind is that our ancestors left a treasure here to future generations. If future generations cannot find the treasure, they should never leave the mountain. This is the reason why we have been guarding this place.
.'
Bai Yuchun was surprised for a while. It turned out that it was the ancestor's instruction that he could not leave, and he left the treasure here.
"Grandpa, what kind of treasure is the treasure left by our ancestors?" Bai Yuchun asked curiously.
'Hehehe, our ancestors have been here for at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, but no one can find the treasures left by our ancestors. Our ancestors have the power to reach heaven and earth, and the treasures left behind must be extraordinary.
The treasure must be a rare treasure, otherwise, how could it need to be guarded by descendants from generation to generation.'
Bai Yuchun nodded. Since his ancestor was a great person at the supreme level and owned the world, ordinary treasures would never be seen. This is for sure, but since future generations cannot find them, they can only rely on them.
The fate has not arrived yet.
'Then grandpa, how did you get out of this mountain?'
'Hahaha, when grandpa was young, he was just like you, naughty and mischievous. As he grew up, he gradually felt that the world in the village was too small. He always thought that if he had the opportunity, he must go and see the outside world.' The village chief looked at the door.
The starry sky outside fell into memories.
'That year I went hunting and by chance met a person from the outside world...'
"People from the outside world?" Bai Yuchun asked.
'Yes, people from the outside world, haha, in the mountains and forests, she was attacked by wild beasts, and all her companions died. She was the only one who survived, but she was seriously injured and could not walk, so I took her back to the village to recuperate, and she recovered.
After that, I have to rush back to the original place and bring back the news of my death.'
The village chief sighed, "Hey, I was young and vigorous at that time, and it was only a while before I wanted to leave with her. No matter how my father, mother, and elders in the village tried to persuade me, I resolutely left with her. In the end, my parents
There is no other way but to let me go.'
'Our mountains seem to be boundless. She and I hiked in the mountains and forests for about half a year, almost escaping death, before we finally walked out of this boundless mountain range and returned to her hometown.'
Chun'er heard that it was magical. Going in and out was like hell. The difficulties and dangers during the journey were unimaginable. What made Chun'er even more unimaginable was that the village chief's grandfather actually fell in love with a person from the outside world.
Although he is only more than ten years old, it is not the first time for him to talk about likes and dislikes, so he naturally understands a lot.
'I was young and energetic at that time, so how could I think so much, especially after seeing the infinite world outside, I couldn't extricate myself from it, and it almost caused a disaster. Alas, something happened later, which made me wake up in time.
I finally let it go, and after another narrow escape, I returned to the village.'
The village chief looked at Bai Yuchun with a smile and said, "The outside world is more exciting, but also more cruel. There is not much sincerity between people, and they are just intrigues. If you have the opportunity to leave this mountain ancestral land in the future,
,Be sure to be careful.'
'Well, I will remember Grandpa.'
As he spoke, there were tears in the corners of the old village chief's eyes, but he looked up at the sky and never let them flow out, nor did he let Bai Yuchun see them.
Bai Yuchun looked at the village chief with admiration and said, 'Grandpa, you are so awesome.'
"Haha, I can't say it's awesome, I'm just lucky." He turned around and said, "It is said that the treasures left by our ancestors are in the village, but there is nothing in the village except these three stone houses, and these three stone houses
Except for the family tree enshrined, there is nothing.'
"Could that treasure be a family tree, grandpa?" Bai Yuchun asked, blinking.
'The ancestors in the village thought so at first, but after we checked carefully, we found that this genealogy is indeed of ancient origin and extremely hard, but it is indeed just a piece of animal skin, nothing more. As for what kind of animal skin it is,
I didn't know that.'
Bai Yuchun is a child after all, and the world of a child is not as perfect as that of an adult. Sometimes there is no answer to a question and he stops thinking about it. Bai Yuchun can only look at the village chief in shock.
