After dinner, Zhou Lanping did not ask her younger generations to help clean the kitchen, and asked her nephew and his wife to rush to the hospital to deliver the meal.
The circle in Tancheng is undergoing a reorganization recently. There have been frequent activities this afternoon. The couple still have to work overtime tonight. After finishing their housework, they will go back to the unit to work overtime.
Gong Linglong went to the hospital with her lunch box, thinking that her uncle and aunt might need help, so she said to Lu Jingchuan, "Brother Jing, I'll just stay with Mom in the hospital. You and Taozi can go and do your work."
Lu Jingchuan thought that he would have nothing to do in the hospital. Now that Bai Jianren was paralyzed and unconscious, the Qin family was busy taking care of themselves and would not cause trouble. He also agreed that the mother and daughter would be safe. "Okay, I'll go and help with some trivial matters. You stay with Mom in the hospital and keep the ward door closed. If anything happens, call the doctors and nurses on duty."
"Okay." Gong Linglong responded.
"I'll bring food tomorrow morning. You guys wait for me in the ward."
Lu Jingchuan sent her to the ward and said goodbye to his mother-in-law before leaving.
Gong Linglong packed two meals, one for her mother and one for the police officer. While they were eating, she hurried to the hospital bathhouse to take a shower, quickly washed and hung her clothes, then fetched some hot water and planned to give her mother a good wash.
The public security comrades left after dinner. Gong Linglong closed the door, and Bai Shuixian washed and changed her clothes by herself.
After changing into clean, thick clothes, Bai Shuixian felt comfortable all over. After her daughter finished pouring the bath water, she said, "Linglong, let's wash the clothes tomorrow. Close the door and I'll tell you something."
"good."
After she locked the door and sat down, Bai Shuixian took out the ancient bracelet she had asked for today and said to her in a very low voice, "Linglong, prick your finger and drop a drop of blood on the bracelet."
Gong Linglong's pupils shrank slightly. A drip of blood to recognize the master?
This bracelet is unusual, is it also a magical artifact?
Seeing her frozen in place, Bai Shuixian glanced outside warily, then whispered in her ear, "This is the Gong family's heirloom, a special divine object. Any descendant of the Gong family who reaches the age of eighteen can activate it by dropping blood to gain a special inheritance. However, each person receives a different inheritance, depending entirely on their luck."
“So magical?”
Gong Linglong was shocked and stared at the bracelet in her hand with burning eyes. How could this be more magical than the things of the King of Hell?
Bai Shuixian nodded slightly, her eyes filled with complex sorrow, her tone heavier than ever before: "Before his death, your grandfather entrusted it to me, asking me to pass on the Gong family's heritage no matter what. He repeatedly told me not to let the ancient bracelet fall into the hands of outsiders. I almost let him down."
"Mom, don't blame yourself. Your situation is special. It wasn't your responsibility that it was almost lost before. Now it's back in our hands, and we'll take good care of it." Gong Linglong comforted her.
Bai Shuixian sighed, placed the bracelet in her hand, and said seriously, "Linglong, you are already eighteen years old. Now drip your blood to complete the inheritance ceremony."
With the precedent of the small artifact recognizing its owner by dripping blood, Gong Linglong is now very much looking forward to the inheritance of this ancient bracelet. Without saying a word, she cut her finger and dripped blood on the bracelet.
Seeing the golden Lycoris radiata petals sucking away all her blood, Gong Linglong exclaimed, "How magical."
When Bai Shuixian received the inheritance, she felt the same wonder as her daughter did. She told her daughter what her father had taught her: "Linglong, don't tell anyone about the ancient bracelet. This is the top secret of the Gong family. If it is leaked, it will bring you disaster."
Gong Linglong understood the principle of "possessing a treasure is a crime", and thinking about what happened to her grandfather's family, she took the opportunity to ask, "Mom, what happened to my grandfather's family? Did the secret of the bracelet get leaked?"
"no."
Bai Shuixian shook her head, looking down at the bracelet in her hand, and said in a deep voice, "When the descendants of the Gong family inherit the ancient bracelet, their souls will swear an oath. If they reveal it, they will die on the spot. Therefore, we will not reveal it to anyone outside the Gong family. The Gong family's accident back then had nothing to do with the bracelet itself, but because the bracelet bestowed the blessings of inheritance, they accumulated a lot of wealth, which attracted the covetousness of some people."
Gong Linglong understood that money was the root cause of the Gong family's disaster.
Bai Shuixian didn't elaborate for the moment and returned to the main point: "Linglong, did you sense anything special?"
Gong Linglong carefully sensed it and frowned as she said, "Mom, I feel something flickering in my head."
"Didn't you see clearly?"
Gong Linglong was about to answer when a piercing pain exploded in her mind. She suddenly hugged her head and cried out in pain, "Mom, it hurts."
"Linglong, this is the transmission of inheritance. Just bear with it, it will only take a few seconds." Bai Shuixian hurriedly hugged her.
As she said, the pain only lasted for five or six seconds, and then it subsided like a tide.
Soon, a series of complex and obscure runes popped into her mind, and a melodious and ancient voice rang out in her mind, teaching her step by step to swear an oath with her soul to inherit the legacy.
After several minutes, Gong Linglong opened her eyes, her clear eyes showing surprise: "Mom, my inheritance seems to be a little special."
"What's so special about it? What is it?" Bai Shuixian asked hurriedly.
"I didn't receive any special inheritance, I just contracted this ancient bracelet."
"Hmm?" Bai Shuixian was slightly surprised. "Contract? What does that mean?"
"I am now the owner of this ancient bracelet. After thousands of years, this ancient bracelet's heritage is on the verge of disappearing. It urgently needs the blood of the Gong family to replenish its merits and continue the inheritance. If it is not repaired, it will shatter into nothingness in a hundred years, and the Gong family's heritage will be interrupted from then on."
Bai Shuixian's expression changed drastically, and she asked hurriedly, "Replenishing Merit? How do you replenish it? Did the inheritance teach you?"
"Mom, replenishing merit, to put it bluntly, means doing good deeds to accumulate merit."
"I see."
Bai Shuixian understood and took her hands, "Linglong, the Gong family's inheritance cannot be interrupted. Mom will help you. We, mother and daughter, will work together to preserve the ancient bracelet."
Perhaps it was because of the bloodline recognition from the ancient bracelet, Gong Linglong's soul seemed to have been cleansed, and she no longer had the strange feeling of traveling through time. At this moment, she felt that she was the original Gong Linglong, and the burden of continuing the Gong family heritage was also her responsibility to shoulder.
"Mom, for the Gong family and for ourselves, I will work hard and do my best to do good deeds to give back to society. I will definitely accumulate more merits and blessings." Gong Linglong promised her.
Bai Shuixian had originally planned what she would do for the rest of her life. She had to avenge her parents and brothers, but she didn't want her daughter to get involved, and she didn't want her daughter and son-in-law to be involved in the hatred. She wanted to shoulder this blood feud alone.
But now the plan has changed. The Gong family inheritance and the blood feud are equally important, so she has to make new plans.
