"Brother, do you know why you didn't stop me? Why? Why? That's our grandma. She gave us all our blood. Why didn't you tell me that if the golden silkworms were released, it would be so serious?
What are the consequences?" I sat up and shouted to Zhou Lan almost roaring.
But Zhou Lan didn't speak, and I was still roaring.
"Brother, you were not raised by grandma, so you don't understand how deep the relationship between me and grandma is. You don't understand how painful my heart is. I want her to live a long life, and I want her to be immortal.
, I don’t want her to die, and I don’t want grandma to die.” My tears were like bursting from the dam, and I couldn’t stop them.
After probably being crazy for a while, my mood finally calmed down a little.
Only then did Zhou Lan speak slowly: "Xiao Cang, I feel the same heartache as you when you lost grandma. However, if I had stopped you and allowed grandma to survive, but you had made any mistakes, I would feel that
, grandma may go with you."
"Brother, I understand the truth, but I just can't help it. You know, my parents are rarely at home. I was raised by my grandma. When I was a child, I almost spent every spring, summer, autumn and winter on my grandma's back.
I really can't accept it when she suddenly says she's gone." I waved my hand towards Zhou Lan, "Brother, I can't accept it."
After I finished speaking, I lay down directly, casually hooked up the quilt on the bed, and then wrapped my whole head.
"Xiao Cang, if you can't accept grandma's leaving, then you should cheer up. In this case, grandma may still have a chance of survival." Zhou Lan lowered his voice and said to me.
I instantly lifted the sheet covering my head, then sat up and said to Zhou Lan: "Brother, what did you just say, what a glimmer of hope, please explain it clearly."
"I don't know the specific situation. Just listening to my grandfather's tone on the phone, it seems that my grandma did not really die, but just like a golden silkworm spinning silk, her whole body withered and then entered a dormant state.
"Zhou Lan looked at me and said.
"But didn't grandpa say he returned to Guizhou with grandma's ashes? He said those were grandma's last words." I couldn't help interrupting Zhou Lan.
"Grandpa asked someone to send you a message. Of course I have to say so. Is it possible that he also spreads it everywhere that he can bring grandma back to life? But I think grandpa will take grandma back to Guizhou. There must be some purpose. Maybe, it's the same as
It has something to do with what we are currently doing." Zhou Lan said.
"You mean the astrolabe can bring grandma back to life?" I found it a bit incredible.
"It's not an astrolabe, it's a Sirian. Have you forgotten about genetic engineering? That's why I said there is a glimmer of hope, not that it is definitely possible." Zhou Lan was vague, but I still understood.
"Do you mean to ask me to find all the astrolabees and then return to Guizhou to hold a grand ceremony?" I asked.
Zhou Lan looked at me and nodded heavily, "Xiao Cang, although it sounds a bit ridiculous now, I think this is the only feasible way. Moreover, I vaguely feel that if the grand ceremony can really be held, the rescue
It may not only be grandma, but also parents and people like Wang Zhishui."
"But, brother, do you really believe that there are Sirians? Does genetic engineering really exist? I find it a bit incredible."
After all, I feel it is a bit dangerous to place all my hopes on such an elusive statement.
"I believe there are Sirians, and you, grandma, and father all have Sirian blood. However, their blood may be a recessive gene for them, but it is a dominant gene for you, so you can
See or reach some places that we ordinary people cannot go." Zhou Lan said.
"Brother, do you also believe that I have Sirian blood?" Although Zhou Lan had just said that, I still confirmed it again.
"Yes," Zhou Lan said decisively.
"However, I still find it difficult to accept it." I smiled bitterly and lowered my head to stare at my fingers. "When I was not sick before, I was still a little ambitious. I felt that if I worked hard, I might be able to become a person in the future.
A person like my father, but later
I fell ill, and it took me a long time to recover mentally and accept that I could only become an ordinary businessman in this life. Unexpectedly, until now, I can't even be an ordinary person.
You never know which day you will be abandoned by the earth."
"Xiao Cang, don't be discouraged. No matter what, we will always be a family. No one will dislike you or abandon you." Zhou Lan comforted me.
"Brother, it's okay, at least you are here. Even if something happens to me in the future, my parents and grandpa will not be left unattended, and I will feel more at ease." I said.
"Xiao Cang, what we are doing now is actually so that our family can be together forever, so that the next generation of our Zhou family will no longer be subject to any constraints, so you must not think so, we are together.
Work hard." Zhou Lan said holding my shoulders.
"Okay, I will definitely cheer up. Even if it's for grandma, I can't be knocked down." I said, quietly cheering myself up in my heart.
"We brothers, working together, will be able to uncover all the ghosts." Zhou Lan was also a little excited.
"It's just brother, do you know where the astrolabes are hidden?" I asked as if I suddenly remembered.
"Father once told me that grandma carved the hiding places of the astrolabe in five places according to the five types of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but even grandpa didn't know where they were specifically." Zhou Lan replied.
"This is why we returned to the Zhou family this time."
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, I have found out the information hidden in the word "Wood", which is the picture of Capricorn's head on the bed frame.
"Brother, then I know the place represented by the wooden character, it is in Shennongjia." I said a little excitedly.
"How did you know?" Zhou Lan asked.
I then explained the process of discovering the pattern on the mahogany bed frame in my grandparents’ bedroom, and also recounted to Zhou Lan what I saw and heard in the enclosed building at the bottom of Poyang Lake.
Zhou Lan felt a little sad after hearing this.
"I didn't expect that grandma was still sending us messages when she was dying." Zhou Lan sighed softly.
"Brother, then our next target is Shennongjia?" I changed the topic.
"Yeah, let's count the ones we find." Zhou Lan also turned his attention.
"In this case, how should we prepare our equipment? You know, many of the equipment we carry with us every time we go to these places cannot be found on the market." I said.
"This is not a big problem. We can turn to Chen Mo. The Chen family's capabilities are beyond our imagination, and the Chen family's participation in this matter is no less than ours. If you include the mother, it can be considered that three generations are involved.
We are involved, but the reason has always been very ambiguous, no one can explain clearly, and I don’t think they will let go of such an opportunity." Zhou Lan said.
"If that's the case, then there will be no problem with the equipment." I said, and took out the bone flute given to me by Lao Miao Zhu on the bedside: "Brother, look."
"Xiao Cang, this is something from the Wen family, how can you have it?"
"It was given to me by Lao Miao Zhu from the Laoye Temple. He said that I would use it in the future. He also told me that my mother can play this flute. Brother, have you seen your mother recently?"
"Mom, I've seen it before." Zhou Lan hesitated for a moment and then said.
"I've seen her before. Where is she? Is she okay?" I excitedly grabbed Zhou Lan's hand and asked.
"She's okay, she just doesn't want to show up yet. If Lao Miaozhu has said this, then I'll try to contact her and see if she has anything to say to you." Zhou Lan said.
"Brother, I want to see her. Tell her that I miss her and my father very much." I said a little excitedly.
"I can't see my father for the time being. As for my mother, I'll try my best to let her meet you." Zhou Lan said lightly, then stood up.
"It's time to eat." At this time, there was a knock on the door, followed by Xiang Yu's voice.
