Grandma glared at Su Wu, and a smile suddenly appeared on her wrinkled face: "If you want to play with your Black Tiger brother, just tell grandma directly!
Can grandma still stop you?
Now you have just woken up and your body is weak. You need to take good care of yourself.
Stay warm in bed and don't catch a cold.
Grandma is going to fry eggs for you!"
As she spoke, the old woman walked tremblingly outside the house. After taking two steps, she turned back and said to Su Wu with a smile: "Well, if the black tiger comes this afternoon, grandma will not stop him.
?”
"No need to stop me! Thank you very much, grandma!"
"Hey! Are you saying thank you to grandma?"
The grandma looked at her energetic grandson with joy in her eyes. She exchanged a few words with Su Wu and then left the room on crutches.
After the old woman left, Su Wu got out of bed quietly.
He carefully looked at the furnishings in the room.
The father of the original owner 'Zhuzi' had already decided not to raise him anymore and wanted to sever the relationship between father and son. It was a certainty that Zhuzi would be included in the Li family's family tree from now on.
Therefore, Su Wu can also be called "Li Zhuzi" today.
'Zhuzi' is most likely his nickname. What his nickname is will only be fully known when he goes to "Page the Family Tree". Maybe he doesn't have a nickname yet.
Li Zhuzi is a cause and effect left on the jade pendant by Li Zhi of Taoyuan Village.
It is not clear whether this person really existed in history.
Especially since this current cause and effect was wiped out once by the Cross Tribulation and reorganized by the simulator, it is even more difficult to trace the past.
It is also because it is still uncertain whether this cause and effect is real, or whether it is far-fetched by Li She and others from Taoyuan Village. Su Wu was able to quickly accept this cause and effect by participating in this seemingly non-existent cause and effect.
of one's own identity.
The room he lives in now should be a main room.
On the wall opposite the door of the hall, there is a large painting of Songs and Cranes extending their lives, and a square table is placed in front of the scroll.
There is a wooden tablet above the square table, and behind the tablet, there is a wooden box covered with black cloth.
In front of the tablet, three sticks of incense burned quietly.
Thick incense ashes accumulated in the incense burner.
This tablet should be worshiped by people all the time, and the incense will never be cut off.
Su Wu looked at the writing on the tablet, which read: The place of beloved daughter Li Wenjuan.
‘Li Wenjuan’ is the biological mother of ‘Li Zhuzi’.
Her tablet was not enshrined in Li Zhuzi's father's home, but returned to her parents' home. This situation was originally very unusual - but Su Wu thought about the previous scene when Li Zhuzi's biological father was anxious to break off the relationship between father and son.
As well as the information hidden in grandma's words, I have some understanding of this situation.
I think there must be something fishy about Li Wenjuan's death.
As grandma said, she died an unclean death.
Therefore, since her death, the Li family and Zhuzi's biological father most likely turned against each other - and the Li family took back Li Wenjuan's tablet and her ashes.
In this day and age, burials are very popular. In some places, even if people die in a foreign land, they have to hire special cadavers to help them take the body back to their hometown for burial. For example, Li Wenjuan's body was not buried. Instead, after cremation, the ashes were left behind.
In a box, placed in the main hall of the house - this situation is also very wrong.
The most strange thing was that Su Wu sensed something strange in the urn covered with black cloth.
Why did ‘Li Wenjuan’ die?
How involved is her death with Zhuzi’s biological father and his father’s subsequent relationship?
Su Wu's thoughts were whirling in his mind as he stepped towards the square table.
A pair of dark arms sprouted from behind his shoulders, and he instantly pressed down on the wooden box covered with black cloth behind the memorial tablet - before the strange charm in the wooden box could escape, it was completely imprisoned by the shadow.
The dark arm touched the wooden box in front of Su Wu. He said "offended" to the wooden box, lifted the black cloth on the wooden box, and opened the wooden box.
There is also a red cloth bag inside the wooden box.
When the cloth bag was opened, the scattered fragments of stone-gray bones were revealed.
These ashes have been infected by the strange charm and have not produced any strange changes so far. The strange charm overflowing from the box has another source - Su Wu reached out to push away the scattered bones and finally saw a human at the bottom of the red cloth bag.
Silver cross.
Those wisps of strange charm are emanating from the cross surrounded by many ashes!
Seeing the silver cross, Su Wu's pupils shrank and he subconsciously restrained his breath - the sense of oppression brought to him by the 'Cross Tribulation' was too strong. Even if he entered the simulated time and space, he would always be shrouded in the shadow of the Cross Tribulation.
Now, when I see an object that looks similar to the "Cross Tribulation", I can't help but feel like "I was bitten by a snake once and feared the well rope for ten years."
In particular, the faint charm emanating from this silver cross is somewhat similar to the charm erupting from the 'Cross Tribulation'!
Fortunately, although the cross itself was strange, it did not cause any 'cross calamity' after all.
Su Wu observed it for a while, and after confirming that it was safe, he carefully took it out of the ashes.
After taking possession of the cross, it maintained the same temperature as Su Wu's skin. Its lower end was cast into the shape of an arrow, and the arrow nailed a yellowed paper ball.
Opening the ball of paper, Su Wu saw the birth date written on it:
‘Name: Li Wenjuan.
Birthday horoscope: Jiyou month, Renchen day, Bingwu hour, Yichou year.’
Except for the birth date of Zhu Zi's biological mother 'Li Wenjuan' written on the ball of paper, there was no other writing on it, and no other clues were revealed. However, a cross with a strange rhyme nailed through the paper with Li Wenjuan's birth date written on it.
This situation is abnormal no matter how you look at it, and it reveals a sense of paradox.
Su Wu put the paper ball aside and studied the cross again.
The cross seemed to be made of silver, but as soon as Su Wu took it in his hand, he discovered that it had a strange property - when it came into contact with people's skin, it would immediately become the same temperature as the person's skin!
On the cross, a bound human figure is carved.
Wisps of mysterious charm emanated from the bound human figure.
The silver around the bound human figure was not static, but like a stream of liquid silver. Under Su Wu's gaze, the bound human figure instantly started to 'flow', twist, and struggle!
Even its blurred face and facial features suddenly became clear in the flow——
One moment it looks like a round-faced woman, and the next moment it looks like a haggard man wearing a veil!
Su Wu did not dare to use the 'Eight Consciousness Heart King' or the 'Six Heavenly Ghost Eyes' to observe the human form on the cross. After all, he used the Eight Consciousness Heart King and the Six Heavenly Ghost Eyes on the foreign Taoist priest last time.
The Cross Tribulation appeared instantly and took him away, erasing the cause and effect direction on the jade pendant.
He calmed down.
The twisted shape on the cross is also frozen in its original state.
Sensing the approaching footsteps outside the house, Su Wu returned the 'silver-like' cross and the paper ball to their original shapes and placed them back in the urn.
He also put the urn back in its place, suddenly walked to the bed and got into bed.
After he lay down on the bed, grandma walked over with a smile, holding a cane in one hand and a big bowl in the other.
There is a poached egg lying in the big bowl, there are several drops of sesame oil on the white noodles, and there are several green vegetables pressed under the large hand-rolled noodles.
Grandma brought the noodle bowl to the bed and handed it to Su Wu with a kind smile in her eyes: "Here, eat quickly.
I originally thought about frying an egg for the pig.
But then I thought about it, the eggs become less when fried, so I boiled them directly in the noodles for you. You eat them carefully. Grandma poured a lot of sesame oil in them, and they are very fragrant!
Let's eat noodles for lunch today, and Black Tiger is here to see if he has hunted anything.
If we hunt a pheasant, we'll have chicken stew in the evening.
If you hunt a hare, you can cook the rabbit meat at night. There is also a lot of cabbage in the cellar. It should be delicious to cook the rabbit with cabbage..."
Grandma was planning the meal for the evening. Su Wu looked at the bowl full of noodles and was stunned. He suddenly asked the old woman: "Grandma, what are you going to eat for lunch today?"
The old woman was stunned by his question.
Xuan Er smiled slyly and said, "I also eat noodles with Zhuzi.
My noodles are still in the pot, I'll look at the pot and you eat slowly..."
As she spoke, she leaned on crutches - Su Wu pulled her and said: "I can't finish such a big bowl of noodles by myself. Why should grandma cook it again? Bring another bowl and we can share it."
Let’s eat.”
"You are growing tall, how can you not finish eating?
Grandma has some in the pot. If she doesn’t want to eat it, please eat it quickly!" Grandma waved her hand and refused.
Su Wu said, "Then I'll go take a look. If there's nothing in the pot, I won't eat the noodles."
"Hey! You damn kid——"
"Go get a bowl quickly, grandma, I really can't eat so much.
If the noodles are left out for a long time, they won’t taste good…”
The grandfather and grandson had a dispute.
Grandma couldn't resist Su Wu, so in the end she had to bring another bowl.
Su Wu gave her half of the noodles, and when she glared to stop him, he gave her half an egg. The grandfather and grandson gathered around the bed and finished the whole bowl of fresh noodles.
We are in a time of famine. Normally, we cannot eat white noodles, black cornstarch, wheat bran or rice bran.
You can see how hard-earned the bowl of hand-rolled white noodles that grandma brought you was.
After the meal, grandma took the dishes and chopsticks to wash up, and Su Wu lay on the bed with her eyes closed and meditating.
Although he had told his grandma many times that he was almost recovered, her grandma refused to let him get out of bed and rest, insisting that he "recuperate for a few days." At this point, he couldn't resist the old man and had to obey him.
In the room, after the cross was restored to its original position, it began to emit a vague and strange charm again.
This kind of charm is very shallow and cannot cause any harm to people for the time being.
But the existence of the silver-like cross in the urn made Su Wu deeply suspicious: Was Zhuzi originally knocked unconscious by the inexplicable strangeness in the urn?
Did the foreign Taoist priest and Zhuzi's biological father already start plotting against Zhuzi and his biological mother?
What do they want?
