Chapter 65
"I think everyone's thoughts are similar. Although I took out this book, I am just a handler. The book was given to me by my father. Dad, this matter still requires your decision." Chen Cong looked at his father-in-law and said.
Mr. Gu was simply amused by her joke.
He pointed at Chen Cong and said, "You are just overwhelmed! Don't you usually make decisions on family matters? Why don't you say anything about this? Do you think this matter is too serious and don't want to take responsibility?"
Chen Cong held Gu Kai's arm and hid behind him, smiling: "I am telling the truth. This is originally yours. If you, as the owner, don't give the order, how can I make the decision for you?"
But after she finished speaking, she still came up with an idea: "Dad, if you don't want to say it, how about we vote?"
"Vote for what?"
Old Master Gu glanced at her and said, "I am so old, how can I not even have this little bit of responsibility? I am not afraid of your complaints."
Although he said so, he was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "Donate it."
As soon as these words were spoken, the house fell silent.
Although everyone had thought of this possibility, when the old man really spoke, everyone couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
No one spoke for a moment.
Finally, it was Gu Kai who spoke first: "I agree."
Then he raised his hand.
Chen Cong immediately followed up: "I agree too."
As soon as the three of them expressed their attitudes, everyone else seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and followed suit.
So this matter that had worried everyone for many days was finally passed with a unanimous vote.
Everyone agreed to donate the book.
The space for books and Shencong is different.
The space is integrated with Shen Chong, and all the belongings of the Shen family are placed inside. They must be preserved at all costs because they are related to the future life and even destiny of the whole family.
Books can be copied.
At the beginning of the end of the world, Chen Cong had already made several copies of it and stored them in space.
This was not enough to reassure her, so she scanned it and made an electronic version.
Even if it is handed over, it will not affect the use of my family.
And another point is that the content of this book is too profound!
No wonder the old man didn’t learn much after having it for so long in his previous life.
At first, Chen Cong thought that the reason why the old man didn't use the book in his previous life was because he didn't have time to collect gems and jade.
But they started collecting early in this life, and now the various gems left in the space are enough for them to use for more than ten years.
But even so, with the combined efforts of Old Man and Gu Kai, they have only figured out the first formation so far.
That book is very thick.
There are more than a dozen meridian diagrams in the formation behind that look like martial arts techniques, but it is difficult to decipher them with their family's abilities now.
Therefore, the value of the book is seriously underestimated at this time and is not utilized at all.
At the beginning of the last days, they guarded the book very carefully in order to give their family more support, and also because they did not understand the true purpose of the book at that time.
Of course, there is one more thing -
They haven't met anyone they can truly trust and who is willing to deliver.
And now, it all seems to have come to fruition.
At this time, the Shen family already knew very well that this formation could really promote plant growth.
Just this one item, if utilized well, will bring unimaginable benefits to the country and the people.
It is difficult for a family to collect various kinds of essence stones, but what about a country?
This is not a problem at all for the country.
Wei Yan's arrival provided them with a medium to communicate with the country and gain their trust.
Since all the conditions have been met, what's wrong with donating the books without affecting your own life and allowing them to play a greater role?
So the whole family agreed unanimously.
After no longer worrying about this issue, Chen Cong regained the initiative.
"Then let's discuss how to tell Wei Yan and what other requests we need to make?"
Wei Yangang and the members of the working group packed up the tent and moved their belongings to the dormitory arranged for them by Lao Cao. Then Gu Kai came over and asked him to go home for dinner.
Everyone knew that he had relatives living in this courtyard, and the person who came was his brother-in-law whom he had not seen for a long time, so naturally everyone in the working group urged him to come over.
Someone else joked, "Captain Wei, don't come back to stay at night. Just stay at your aunt's house. If you don't come back, we'll have more space to sleep in, and it'll be cooler with one less person."
The others burst into laughter and urged him to leave quickly.
Wei Yan knew that everyone meant well, but in today's world, nothing was convenient.
Although their troops are now stationed in Bac Ninh City, if there are no such job opportunities, it would be very troublesome for him to come to the community on a regular basis, and he doesn't know when he will come next time.
Wei Yan followed Gu Kai back home.
He originally thought that this time he came here just to have another good meal at his aunt's house and chat with his family.
But he didn't expect that his family would give him another big shock, which was much more shocking than seeing the pot of rice at noon!
Mr. Gu personally handed the book to Wei Yan and told him the origin of the book.
The old man had no idea what happened in his previous life, so he could only make an excuse that an old patient had given it to him, but the patient could no longer be found.
In order to prove the effectiveness of the certificate, the old man took Wei Yan to see the herbs he planted on the third floor.
Before this, Wei Yan looked at the vegetables grown at home and the corn upstairs. After all, he was also a member of the working group, and he was visiting his aunt's house, so he would definitely come along.
At that time, he felt that the things grown at home could not be compared with those in the places they had visited before, and they were simply trash.
But at that time, he had never imagined that the third floor, which he originally thought was just a place to store miscellaneous items, actually had a whole other world!
Looking at those medicinal herbs with shiny green leaves that were so thick that they looked like jade carvings, it was impossible for Wei Yan not to believe that this was real.
What's more, in order to further prove the practicality of this formation, the old man took him to his room.
"Can you feel anything in this room?" asked the old man.
At this time, Wei Yan was still in a daze. He felt that everything he heard was too unbelievable and did not feel real at all.
Hearing the old man's question, he collected his thoughts and felt it carefully.
Then I immediately noticed the difference.
Wei Yan himself couldn't explain it clearly. In just one night, before he even had time to sit down, he could already feel the restlessness in his heart disappear.
The mind becomes clear.
The buzzing feeling in my head just now seemed to have eased a lot.
Not only that, he also found that his body became cool and even the sweat disappeared.
But he knew clearly that there was no air conditioning, electric fan or other cooling equipment in the room. This kind of coolness was almost natural and made people feel very comfortable.
But this damn summer heat has lasted for more than half a year, so where can there be any natural coolness?
The old man showed him the formation he had set up and even told him about his experience in selecting gemstones.
What kind of texture, what size, and what level of effect will be achieved? After more than half a year of practice, the old man has summed up a set of experience that only he knows best.
Finally, he said, "Your uncle said before that it was for your own good that he asked you to stay at his house for a few days. Although I am not sure whether this formation can cure diseases, it can definitely strengthen the body.
Look at the physical condition of this family, including the two children, isn’t it no different from before the natural disaster?
I can even tell you that they are in better shape than before.
If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can move here for a while and live with me. I will help you recover and you can learn the breathing method from me.
You are still young, and you have a long way to go. Your health is your greatest asset."
Wei Yan had calmed down by now, he wiped his forehead and said, "Thank you, uncle, but I may not be able to live at home for a while.
You told me something so important..."
He smiled bitterly: "I can't let you down!"
After Wei Yan finished speaking, he took the initiative to walk to the door, and then said to the old man: "Uncle, let's go downstairs and talk. We still need to discuss this matter as a family first."
Because the old man said he would talk to Wei Yan about this, no one else followed him upstairs, but continued to sit in the living room waiting.
When they saw them coming down and Wei Yan's expression, everyone knew that the old man had explained everything to him clearly and he had believed it.
After Wei Yan sat down, he didn't say anything else, but directly expressed his thoughts.
He said: "Aunt, uncle, Uncle Gu, elder sister, second sister, brother-in-law, you told me such an important secret. To be honest, I am shocked and feel a lot of pressure at the same time."
At this point, he suddenly let out an "Ah!", which scared the whole family!
Before everyone could recover from the shock, he leaned on the sofa, covering his forehead with one hand, and groaned, "Aunt, I didn't know before, why our family is so powerful? You are all gods, right?"
Cheng Ru covered her chest with her hands and felt her heart still pounding.
Then he realized what the little bastard was complaining about, and he angrily reached out and slapped him on the shoulder!
He cursed, "You scared me to death! You are an adult, but you are still so disrespectful."
Wei Yan then sat up straight and laughed, "I didn't scare you, you scared me to death! I just wanted to come back for a meal, but I didn't know you would give me such a big surprise."
He looked at Mr. Gu and said, "Uncle Gu, do you know how valuable this book you handed over is? I almost couldn't breathe after listening to what you said just now.
You may not understand how much benefit this book will bring to our country if it is handed over to those experts and thoroughly studied! "
Having said that, Wei Yan stopped joking and his expression became serious.
He looked at his family and said, "I must report this to my superiors immediately and leave early tomorrow morning. Uncle Gu, Aunt, Uncle, you can tell me any conditions or requests you have.
I am not qualified to promise you anything, but I promise to bring your request to you.”
At this point, he couldn't help but remind her: "I won't leave until tomorrow morning, you can discuss it carefully. This book... is quite valuable."
Although as a soldier he cannot instigate his family to make demands on the country, Wei Yan also does not want his family to suffer.
After all, the gift that is about to be presented is too heavy.
Hearing him say this, Chen Cong also laughed, and at the same time wanted to tease him.
She had never realized before that her brother-in-law had such a vivid side.
So she asked: "So what can we ask for?"
Wei Yan really thought about it.
Then he said, "Do you want to go to Beijing? If you do, I can help my family get a place there. Anyway, Beijing is always the safest place.
Moreover, since our family has made such a great contribution, the country must express its appreciation.
I thought, at least food and drink should be guaranteed after we get there, right?"
The more he talked about it, the more he felt that this proposal was reliable. His eyes lit up and he became eager to try it.
"Aunt, uncle, and Uncle Gu, you all go. I'll apply later and tell Ranran when I get a chance. If she and my parents knew you were going, they would be so happy!"
Seeing that he was sincerely planning for his family, and seemed to be ready to put it into action immediately, Chen Cong hurriedly stopped him: "No, we have no plans to go to the capital for the time being."
She pointed to the house and said, "We can't bear to leave."
Wei Yan immediately didn't know what to say.
He had already toured the entire house, and to be honest, he wouldn't be willing to leave if he were in his place.
At this moment, he really felt that his aunt's family were all gods.
People favored by God.
Although he didn't believe in ghosts or gods before.
But my family is so lucky!
On his first trip back home, Lao Cao lamented to him how lucky his family was.
Because my second sister and brother-in-law were preparing to go abroad, and Mr. Gu happened to be moving there too.
So they put the three old people together.
There is nothing wrong with just moving them together, but the key point is that for the safety of the elderly, the two of them actually decided to renovate the house!
Built a fence, installed solar power, and even bought a piece of land...
All this was done before the earthquake hit.
What luck this is, God is helping their family!
When Lao Cao was talking about this, Wei Yan found it funny and thought that this man was really exaggerating.
But now he doesn't think so anymore. He feels that what Lao Cao said is not comprehensive enough.
This is not just luck, it is truly the guidance and favor of God.
But he definitely couldn't say this, and he wouldn't say it.
Knowing that his aunt and the others didn't want to go to the capital, Wei Yan didn't try to persuade them anymore.
After all, with such a safe place to live, there would be no harm in staying in Bac Ninh, not to mention that he was still here.
"Then second sister, what do you want?" he asked.
"We took the initiative to hand in this book. Since we decided to hand it in, we didn't expect to get any benefits from the country, nor did we expect to use it to negotiate with the country," said Shen Cong.
Wei Yan nodded.
"But we have two requests."
"Sister, tell me, I promise to bring it to you."
"First, we need the state to keep the book donation a secret, at least not let people around us know. We will still have to live here and deal with other neighbors. We don't want others to talk about it, and we don't want to explain it to anyone."
Wei Yan replied with a serious expression: "I understand, sister, you can rest assured about this one, I will make it clear to the leader."
"Well, let me move on to the second one."
Chen Cong said: "Secondly, we have only studied the first formation with the efforts of our whole family, and the breathing method that my father figured out. We all know that these are the most superficial in this book, and there must be more useful things later.
If possible, we hope that after the country has researched the subsequent formations or techniques, it can select the appropriate ones to teach us.
We don’t ask to learn anything difficult or particularly important, as long as we can learn some means to strengthen our bodies or save our lives.”
Wei Yan nodded again: "Understood, I will convey it."
"Third point..."
Shen Cong looked at his family and saw support on their faces.
Then she said, "The third and final point is, if possible, please ask the government to help us dig a deep well in our community because we handed over such a useful thing."
Wei Yan was stunned.
"Digging a well?" He asked incredulously, "Sister, you want to exchange this book for a well in the community?"
"Yeah." Shen Cong smiled.
"What else can we do? We still have to live in the community. If the drought continues, there will be no drinking water in the community. Wouldn't we also have no drinking water at home? But given the current situation in our community, we can't raise funds to dig a well!"
Wei Yan had an expression full of emotion on his face.
His eyes swept across the faces of his entire family, his expression indescribably complicated.
Although these three conditions were proposed by his second sister, he certainly knew that this was the intention of the whole family.
Wei Yan thought about what conditions his family would put forward, and made up his mind that no matter what they put forward, he would try his best to help his family get it.
After all, in today's world, it is only natural to seek some benefits for your family and fight for some materials and a little capital to survive.
But he never expected that his family would put forward such a condition.
There is no need to mention the first and second, they can definitely be achieved.
After giving such a great gift, it is our duty to protect the safety of our family.
Even though he hasn't told his leadership yet, Wei Yan can make such a commitment in advance based on his confidence in the organization.
Third, the only request the family made to the country was to dig a well for the community.
Wei Yan took a deep breath.
He suddenly stood up and saluted solemnly towards the family.
This action shocked the whole family. They were caught off guard and stood up.
Shen Xi, who was originally sitting opposite him, was so frightened that he jumped two steps to the side.
"Wei Yan, what are you doing?" she complained a little embarrassedly.
Wei Yan did not smile. He put his hand down and said to everyone with a serious expression: "This military salute is not for myself. I am showing respect to everyone as the leader of the preparation team.
In addition, I have remembered the three requirements that my second sister mentioned, and I will convey them to the leaders word for word, so everyone can rest assured."
The author has something to say:
There will be an additional update tomorrow, see you all tomorrow.
