"Grandpa, Grandpa..." Half a minute later, the brothers Gao Ronghua and Gao Rongguang stumbled back home and started calling their ancestor standing at the gate of the courtyard from afar.

Gao Ronghua's face was covered in black and white spots, from a lot of cigarette ash, and his body was also covered in a lot of black stuff.

But none of these things could hide the bright smile on his face.

The old ancestor squinted his eyes and watched them run in, and looked at the smile on Gao Ronghua's face.

The old ancestor's heart calmed down, but then began to get excited again, with his heart beating fast.

This place is far away from the ancestral grave mountain, and the smoke that came out from there just now was put out by Gao Ronghua soon.

The old man was old and his eyesight wasn’t that good, so he didn’t see the smoke coming out.

But now looking at the reactions of his two grandchildren, he knew that the matter had been confirmed.

Gao Ronghua ran closer.

Standing in front of the ancestor, breathing heavily.

The old man turned around and said, "Come back to the house with me!"

"Yes, Grandpa!"

Gao Ronghua followed the old ancestor back to the house. The other people in the family stood in the yard, not daring to approach the old ancestor's room.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of questions.

From yesterday until now, they felt that many things were strange, but they didn't dare to ask.

Gao Rongguang didn't know either, but when he was about to be unable to bear it, his elder brother appeared, called him, and then ran ahead.

He could only chase after him.

I have no idea why his elder brother ran away?

Inside the room, Gao Ronghua stood in front of the ancestor, so excited that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

The old man looked up at him and said, "Tell me!"

"Grandpa, there is indeed smoke, but it's not our ancestral grave?"

The old ancestor frowned, "Make it clear!"

Gao Ronghua continued, "The place where the green smoke is coming out is not the ancestral tomb, but the earthen mound that Grandpa took us to worship."

There is an earthen mound under the ancient pine tree next to the ancestral grave mountain.

A tombstone was erected, but it was blank, with no name or surname on it, not a single word.

They don't know who is buried inside.

But ever since he could remember, his grandfather had taken the men in the family there to worship.

Gao Ronghua knew his grandfather's temper. His grandfather would do whatever he wanted him to do, and he shouldn't ask any questions unless his grandfather said anything.

So, except for his grandfather, no one knew who was buried inside?

With a click!

The walking stick in the old man's hand fell to the ground.

Gao Ronghua watched the old ancestor's expression change several times and he became a little worried.

"Grandpa."

The ancestor waved his hand.

Gao Ronghua bent down, picked up the cane and put it in the old ancestor's hand.

The old man's hand holding the cane kept shaking.

The grandfather and grandson fell silent.

The room was quiet.

Gao Ronghua didn't dare to say anything, but just looked at the old ancestor quietly, and tears came out of his eyes as he watched the old ancestor.

He was very surprised, but still didn't dare to ask more questions.

After a moment, the old ancestor wiped away her tears and looked at Gao Ronghua with red eyes.

"I know you are a steady person, and I can't tell anyone else about this except you.

When I am gone one day in the future, someone will have to take my descendants to worship at that earthen grave.

All you need to know is that the people sleeping there are your relatives, your closest elders.

Don’t forget to go there every year to burn incense and paper money.”

Gao Ronghua was stunned. He had been secretly wondering who the owner of the earthen mound was since he was a child.

Every time his grandfather went to worship, his expression was particularly heavy and his eyes were red.

He had always guessed that that was someone very important to his grandfather.

Now hearing what his grandfather said, Gao Ronghua knew that he guessed right.

"Yes, Grandpa."

The old ancestor was not in a peaceful mood. He had lived a whole life, but today was the biggest shock to him.

He waved his hand, "Go out and get busy!"

"Grandpa, Gao Miao..."

"The master he mentioned must exist, so we must not neglect anything the master tells us to do!

Just remember this!

Only if Jiaojiao is safe can we and the villagers be safe!

Protecting her is protecting yourself!"

What our ancestors said is very clear.

Gao Ronghua understood, but he still asked, "Grandpa, if that's the case, then wouldn't it be better if we adopted Jiaojiao?"

Hearing this, the old ancestor raised his cane and hit Gao Ronghua three times with a stern look.

"Give up the thought that you shouldn't have! Even if you have such a thought, it's wrong!

Do you know why I didn't let Gao Miao take his mother's surname Xie?"

Gao Ronghua shook his head.

He thought about this matter all night last night, but still couldn't figure it out.

Gao Ronghua will be the head of the family in the future, and the ancestor is willing to teach him more.

"All the people with the surname Gao in Laozhuang Village are descended from the same root. Although Gao Acai is six generations away from us, it is still a family lineage passed down from the same ancestor after all.

His surname is Gao, so he is from our Gao family.

Why did the expert say that Xie Xianglan was a blessed person?

How can a woman be blessed?

A mother is honored by her son! "

The ancestor pronounced the last four words word by word.

Hearing this, Gao Ronghua's eyes widened and suddenly became enlightened.

He understood!

Mrs. Xie is blessed, but her blessing is built on Gao Miao and Jiaojiao.

Therefore, both Gao Miao and Jiaojiao must have the surname Gao.

"Grandpa, I understand!"

"go out!"

"yes!"

Gao Ronghua came out of the house respectfully, suppressing his inner excitement. He called his family members into the main room and explained some things to them.

The ancestor locked the door.

Standing in front of the west window, he slowly knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the ancestral grave.

…

After Xie prepared lunch, she saw Gao Miao sitting in the yard in a daze and called out to him.

"Xiao Miao, the meal is ready, come in and eat!"

Gao Miao didn't move.

Xie walked over and patted Gao Miao's shoulder gently, "Xiao Miao..."

Gao Miao slowly fell backwards, his eyes closed and his face pale.

Xie was terrified. She quickly picked up Gao Miao and ran into the house. She put him on the bed and lay down with Gao Zhi.

"Xiao Miao Xiao Miao...wake up...kid, what's wrong with you?"

Xie remembered Gao Miao's reminder that if they and their son were unwell one day, they should try their best to rely on Gao Zhi and share in his blessings.

Xie really thought it was just a blessing.

She didn't know that Gao Miao knew Gao Zhi's secret.

As long as the mother and son are in poor health, they have to get close to Gao Zhi, who can use the spiritual spring water to save them.

Gao Miao didn't move.

Xie hurried to pour water, helped Gao Miao up and fed him two bowls of water.

A lot of water overflowed from the corners of his mouth and flowed to his chest, getting his clothes wet.

But Gao Miao still didn't respond.

Mrs. Xie sat by the bed and cried.

"Xiao Miao, what happened to you? Xiao Miao, please don't be in trouble!

I'm going to find a doctor and ask him to come and see you. You must wait for me to come back."

Xie left in a hurry. As soon as she left, Gao Zhi quickly put his fingers into Gao Miao's mouth.

[You little bastard, why is your health so poor that you faint easily?

Fortunately, I am here, otherwise you would have died long ago! 】
