Chapter 46 Treasure "Qiankun Bag"
In front of Xue Xiaoqi, Song Liyun didn't want to explain any more, so she just took Xiao An's hand and walked towards Ji's house.
Anyway, if Xiao An and I go there, Song Zhenping will definitely come.
Xiao An doesn't talk much, and now he obeys Song Liyun in everything.
He also didn't know what a haunted house was.
Ignorant and fearless, he followed Song Liyun and left.
Song Zhenping: “……!”
It was two against one, and he couldn't beat the two of them, so he could only follow them obediently and look at the house first.
Knowing that Song Liyun and her sister must go to the haunted house, Xue Xiaoqi no longer wanted to accompany them and found an excuse to leave.
He just said that once the selection was made, Song Zhenping would go to the military camp to find the clerk to register, and all military households would be managed by the camp from then on.
He walked along the weed-covered avenue to the outside of Ji's house, then crossed the woods and stood in front of Ji's house again.
Only then did Song Liyun truly feel that this house was indeed nice.
The daytime sunlight illuminates every corner and dispels the gloomy atmosphere of the house last night.
The birds were standing on the wall of the courtyard and singing loudly, their voices were melodious and sweet.
A tabby wild cat was basking in the sun in the grass. When it saw someone coming, it quickly jumped onto the top of the wall, scaring the bird so much that it pooped and flew away.
Looking at these lively and cute animals, Song Zhenping, who had been frightened all the way, was no longer afraid.
He pointed at the bird and told Song Liyun that its name was "Fried Spicy Bird". It was timid and would poop when frightened. He and Xiao An had been hit by the bird's poop when they were chopping wood in the mountains.
Standing in front of this deserted house, listening to his brother talking about chopping wood, Xiao An seemed to think of something interesting. He bit his lip and raised the corners of his mouth, showing a rare smile.
The front yard was still in a mess during the day. Song Zhenping sighed with regret while picking up the fallen chairs and benches.
These are all pieces of furniture made of high-quality wood. Although they are covered with cobwebs and dust after five years, they can be wiped clean and still look shiny again.
"Yun'er, you said we should live here from now on? It's such a big house. Will Captain Luo and the others agree?"
Standing in the sun, Song Zhenping raised his hand to cover his forehead and looked into the house, feeling uneasy.
His love overcame his fear, and he even forgot about the rumored "haunted house". He was only worried that the military camp would not allow it.
Song Liyun smiled and said softly, "They should agree."
She didn't say it was a haunted house and no one would argue with it.
After visiting the main and two side rooms in the front yard, as well as the kitchen and utility room, the three siblings walked through the corridor and came to the hanging flower gate.
The smoke and fire here instantly dampened Song Zhenping's excitement. Thinking of the reputation of the haunted house, his face turned pale and he whispered, "Yun'er, this... this place has been burned. Is there something inside? We can't go in."
Well, of course it’s the rumored “ghost”.
Song Liyun thought of the big monkey that she had locked in the side yard, and felt that it would be better to reassure the two brothers as soon as possible so that she could move in earlier.
But Song Zhenping is a person of this era after all, so it is useless to explain science to them.
Song Liyun was not in a hurry at this time, she was well prepared.
Theology can be used to explain many things that are difficult to explain and beyond the scope of science.
Song Liyun just needs to make the country boy believe that there are no ghosts here, or that there are characters more powerful than ghosts.
Look at Xiao An, who knows nothing, and is still squatting on the ground picking up the beautiful little stones embedded in the ground.
Song Liyun did not go any further in. Instead, he took off a small silver cloth bag from his belt and handed it to Song Zhenping: "Brother, this thing can help us."
Song Zhenping glanced at it and felt it looked familiar. He touched it and found it was still smooth and delicate. "It can help us. Oh! This is the one we found in the temple..."
Song Zhenping recalled that in Xiaoshi Village, his step-grandmother and second aunt would sometimes bring some things home, saying that they were household gods invited from the temple, which could bless the family with peace.
Everyone in the family would go to worship, except him and his younger brother who were not allowed to get close.
Seeing that he recognized it as something from the "Budai Monk" temple, Song Liyun nodded and motioned Song Zhenping to look at her hand.
Song Zhenping was puzzled, but he still looked at it carefully. He saw Song Liyun put her fingers into the palm-sized cloth bag and fumbled around, as if she was taking something.
As she pulled her fingers away, a silver ingot suddenly appeared in her palm, sparkling in the sunlight.
"This, this, this, this..." Song Zhenping's eyes almost popped out, and he pointed at the silver ingot and stuttered.
Seeing Song Zhenping so frightened, Song Liyun simply put the silver ingot in his hand and said, "Brother, can you feel it and see if it's real?"
Song Zhenping's eyes were dull as he picked up the silver ingot and looked at it for a long time. Song Liyun thought he was going to fall asleep, but she saw Song Zhenping put the silver ingot to his mouth and bit it hard.
The silver ingots were of course real. They were the betrothal gifts that Song Lao Er received from the Xue family. One ingot weighed five taels, for a total of twenty taels. Song Liyun packed them up along with the gift box and took them away.
Song Zhenping was nineteen years old when it was actually the first time he touched a silver ingot.
Tasting with our mouths is how humans explore the unknown since infancy, so taking a bite of shiny objects is almost instinctive.
Song Zhenping looked at the deep teeth marks on the silver ingot and murmured, "How can it be real silver?"
"What's so strange about this! Brother, I don't know what's going on with this bag. There are so many things in it. I'll get another one to show you." Before Song Liyun could react, a casserole appeared in her hand.
Brand new...casserole!
Song Zhenping's feet went weak and he took a step back, almost falling down. This scared Xiao An who was touching the brick patterns on the wall.
Xiao An turned around and saw the bag in Song Liyun's hand. He pointed at the bag and suddenly said, "Temple, monk!"
Song Zhenping almost fainted after being exposed by Xiao An: This bag is the treasure of "Budai Monk". Uncle Kui once said "three inches of heaven and earth, one foot of the universe", it can hold anything, how could this treasure... be in Yun'er's hands?
Song Liyun showed surprise: "......!"
Xiao An is not stupid!
Thanks to the rich theological culture of the Wu Dynasty, Song Zhenping accepted the existence of the "Qiankun Bag" almost instantly.
Now, Song Liyun was no longer in a hurry to look at the house. She squatted by the second gate with the Song Zhenping brothers and began to "study the treasures."
The three of them took turns reaching into the small bag.
Naturally, the two brothers couldn't take out anything, but Song Liyun could always take out some strange things.
Song Zhenping's face flushed, and his voice was a little hoarse as he said, "Yun'er, hide the bag. This is a treasure, and only you can use it. Don't let anyone else see it."
Xiao An looked up at Song Liyun, his eyes full of envy and admiration: Second sister is so amazing that she can take out a big pot from a small bag.
Song Liyun stuffed the small bag into her arms and put it close to her body. Then she said proudly, "Now that we have the Bodhisattva's blessing, nothing in the house can hurt us, brother, don't you think so?"
Song Zhenping nodded vigorously: "We have been here for an hour and haven't heard anything. It must be because of the treasure.
Yun'er, we don't have to be afraid anymore, let's clean up this place quickly."
