Song Hao began to observe the old house again. After two days of searching, it was unlikely that the scriptures were hidden in the buildings on the ground. After carefully searching the walls and the inside and outside of all houses, no hiding place that could accommodate hundreds of scriptures was found. It can only be buried underground, in a house or somewhere underground in a courtyard.
"That Shi Tingchuan was a smart man. He was afraid that Luo Beiming would come back to look for those scriptures in the future, so he hid them in a hidden location. This location made him feel at ease enough to allow his wife and children to sell the old house in the future. The intention is to keep this secret hidden here, and let the destined people discover it after a few years. He is carrying out a protection work, because the era in which he lives is not convenient for these ancient medical books to be published. It is not easy to meet him He was a man of medical knowledge, but he was greatly disappointed. This made him determined to bury these precious scriptures again." Song Hao thought this way.
"But it also brought me trouble in searching!" Song Hao shook his head again.
Tang Yu came over at this time and said: "Song Hao, don't be anxious, just search slowly. Now let's assume that if you were to bury those scriptures in this old house, what location would you choose? Come bury it. We might as well find some suspicious spots like this to excavate.¡±
"It makes sense!" Song Hao nodded and said: "In the end, we still couldn't find it, so we dug from the ground one meter to three feet and lined up to search. As long as those scriptures are buried in this old house, we will Just have to find it.¡±
After making some observations, Song Hao marked the marble tiles in several corners.
Aaron and Shi Yun came back from Dali City and purchased some excavation tools, including two short engineering shovels that can work in narrow spaces.
Early on the third day, Song Hao, Aaron, and Shi Yun started excavation work at fixed points underground. Tang Yu is responsible for logistical support, preparing three meals a day and serving tea. There is also a clear division of labor.
First, we excavated in a corner of the courtyard that Song Hao marked yesterday. After lifting the stone bricks above, dig vertically within a range of about one meter. When digging to a depth of one meter to one and a half meters, if no abnormalities are found or hard rocks are encountered, the earth and rocks will be refilled to restore the original appearance. Those two sapper shovels played a big role.
Song Hao, Aaron, and Shi Yun took turns working. At first, Aaron and Shi Yun insisted on not letting Song Hao reach out. With Song Hao's insistence, the two had no choice but to give up. They were quite moved and felt sorry for Song Hao. Hao secretly felt a little respect for himself. They felt that the young boss of Tianyi Hall was so approachable and did not have the image of being unattainable and aloof. The two of them were moved and felt even more cordial.
As a result, at the end of another day, after digging five suspicious spots, still nothing was found. Song Hao, Aaron, and Shi Yun were also exhausted.
During dinner in the evening, Shi Yun sat there and sighed, shaking his head and saying, "Why didn't my father and mother tell me about this before they were alive? By identifying a location, we wouldn't have to work so hard to find it."
Song Hao said: "Mr. Shi Tingchuan did this for the safety of these scriptures, and at the same time for the sake of you brothers and sisters, fearing that this matter will bring you trouble. This era is also changing so fast that Mr. Shi Tingchuan did not expect. Shi Tingchuan Your original intention was to leave these scriptures safely to future generations, so they were buried very secretly. We should understand the painstaking efforts. We just need to put in more effort."
After chatting for a while, Aaron suddenly remembered something, so he said: "Mr. Song, Mr. Tang, there is something I want to report to you. That is, the products of our Tianyitang Pharmaceutical and the products of Tianyi Group are the same. It is placed on the counter of a drug store. Due to the similar names, confusion often occurs. Customers who originally wanted to buy Tianyi Tang products often mistakenly bought Tianyi Group products. After returning home, they discovered It often happens that we go back to the store for replacement. The salesperson of Tianyi Group also protested this to us, saying that we were suspected of infringing trademark rights."
Song Haodao: "Leave them alone. When the Tianyi Tang trademark was registered, we also consulted with people from the industrial and commercial department. Although the two names are similar, they are not considered infringement and have nothing to do with Tianyi Group."
Aaron said: "We responded to each other in this way, and then let it go. In my opinion, this time-honored brand of Tianyi Group has been overpowered by our Tianyi Hall in the domestic market, and the other party is just complaining. .¡±
"Hmph!" Song Hao sneered and said: "Our Tianyitang Pharmaceutical products will soon be sold to overseas markets. As long as we meet the needs of the domestic market, we will enter the overseas market. Let people know that there will only be one Heavenly Medical Hall.¡±
After hearing this, Tang Yu knew what Song Hao was thinking at this time, and sighed helplessly in secret.
 Aaron added: "But what is strange is that since our Tianyi Tang products were launched, if there are similar products from Tianyi Group in an area, they will quickly withdraw them and sell them elsewhere." The reluctance to compete tit-for-tat with us is also an important reason why our Tianyitang Pharmaceutical products quickly gained momentum in the market as soon as they came out."
Song Hao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "That's because our Tianyi Hall's medicine is good, and the other party knew that they couldn't compete with us, so they took the initiative to retreat. They are also self-aware."
"Yes! Quality is the most important thing. Our Tianyitang medicines are popular everywhere, and the supply is always in short supply. The salesmen of other pharmaceutical companies envy us, saying that we are the salespersons of Tianyitang Pharmaceutical It is the happiest thing in life, because people will take the initiative to ask for goods from you, and there is almost no need to go door-to-door to sell. As soon as a new drug is produced, the salesmen of our Tianyi Hall will become popular. "
Shi Yun also smiled proudly: "It's easy to sail on a big ship! Tianyi Hall is our pride!"
After hearing this, Song Hao and Tang Yu looked at each other and smiled with joy.
In the evening, Song Hao lay in bed and rested, thinking about tomorrow's work. Tang Yu came in with a plate of fruit. After putting it on the table, he sat down by the bed. Looking at the blisters on Song Hao's hands, he said distressedly: "It hurts. I'll take care of it for you."
Song Hao smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just that I haven't done this kind of strenuous work for a long time. When someone is given a great responsibility from heaven, he must work his muscles and bones first! This is nothing to me."
Tang Yu sighed: "I didn't expect it would be so troublesome."
Song Hao said: "We are lucky. We can find the descendants of the Shi family and find this old house. God has taken good care of us. Those who are content are always happy."
Tang Yu said: "Then let's look for it again. By the way, I contacted Yingying today and learned about the work progress of Tianyi Hall. Did you know that last month, the pharmaceutical factory's sales revenue has reached a historic breakthrough? One hundred million."
"That's good news!" Song Hao said happily after hearing this: "The smooth development of Tianyi Hall in the past few years is enough to make us happy. We can finally do what we want to do. The next grand goal is that we Branches of Tianyitang should be established in various provinces and cities, and then expanded to various overseas countries. At that time, an era of great Chinese medicine has come! For the nation, it is for the world! The people that Chinese medicine benefits are not just For us Chinese.¡±
"Song Hao, you are indeed a leader-like figure! You always think further than us." Tang Yu said with reverence.
"Haha! This is just like treating diseases. After curing several diseases, we must also consider their future health. We must do what we can to prolong life. The principle of all things, the way of medicine, is The way of heaven is also the way of the world." Song Hao smiled.
"Song Hao." Tang Yu hesitated and said, "Since you can figure out these reasons, you should also think about some things. Just now at the dinner table, Aaron said that Tianyi Group would rather lose a certain market share than You should understand the reason for competing with our Heavenly Medical Hall."
After hearing this, Song Hao closed his eyes and remained silent. After a long time, he sighed and said: "I know what you mean, but I will never be able to untie that knot in my heart, and I will never forgive them. Although grandpa has forgiven them, I will not forgive. It's not me. Stubborn, if this kind of thing doesn't happen to you, others won't be able to feel the pain. I'm tired, let's not talk about it for now."
After hearing this, Tang Yu shook his head, stood up, sighed, and closed the door to the room.
"Dad! Mom!" Song Hao called softly, tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes.
Another three days have passed. After exploring nearly twenty locations inside and outside the house, in the front and back yards, we still found nothing.
"Could it be that those scriptures were not hidden by Shi Tingchuan in this old house, but were buried elsewhere? Or did we not dig there?" Song Hao walked back and forth in the hall anxiously.
Then Song Hao walked unconsciously to the yard. At noon, the sun was shining brightly. Song Hao turned around and realized that he had left the main room. Perhaps due to the dazzling sunlight, Song Hao discovered that there was a marble floor tile on the ground in the middle of the hall that showed a shadow, which was naturally different from the stone tiles next to it. Song Hao ignored it and walked into the house again. Unconsciously, I glanced at the stone brick again, only to find that the shadow had disappeared.
"The stone bricks on the ground are all the same. Why are there some differences when looking outside the house?" Song Hao felt strange, so he walked to the yard again, and when he turned around to look, he saw the strange stone brick again. .
Song Haofu returned to the house again, squatted next to the stone brick and observed carefully, and stretched out his hand to touch it for a while, and felt that there was actually something on the stone brickThere is a layer of moisture floating on the surface. The midday sun shines on the ground in the house. The surface of other floor tiles appears dry, but this one is different.
"Could it be that there is something buried down here?" Song Hao's heart moved. He hurriedly called Aaron and Shi Yun who were resting.
"Open this floor tile and see what is buried underneath." Song Hao said.
"Is it those scriptures?" Aaron asked in surprise.
Song Hao said: "No, it should be something else. It can actually make the surface of this stone brick appear moist. There cannot be a water channel underneath, because this piece cannot be shown alone. Just dig it up and take a look."
Aaron found tools, and he and Shi Yun pried up the stone brick, and a layer of fine sand and gravel appeared underneath. Aaron and Shi Yun then each held engineering shovels to dig. When they dug about a foot deep, they came across a square stone slab.
"This is a covered stone niche." Shi Yun said.
Aaron said: "The volume is not very big, let's dig it out as a whole."
Then the two dug out a square stone niche about 50 centimeters in diameter from the sand. Song Hao stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and the three of them lifted it out.
"What's inside?" Shi Yun said, using a tool to pry along a gap in the upper part of the stone niche, and opened the stone cover.
Next to Aaron, he saw the stone cover moving. Reach out. A light cyan ordinary porcelain bowl appeared.
"It turns out to be a bowl! What kind of treasure did I think it was!" Aaron shook his head in disappointment.
Song Hao was also quite surprised. He reached out and took it out, holding it in front of his eyes for a closer look. This is a porcelain bowl with a sky-blue surface, and its simple and elegant shape has no embellishments. It is 30 centimeters in diameter, larger than an ordinary rice bowl, and should be used to hold soups. It feels extremely moist and smooth to the touch. What makes Song Hao feel strange is that the milky white bowl seems to contain something because the light is dizzying. Although it seems empty, there is something inside. The air also feels very thick.
"What's the purpose of having a bowl buried in the ground of this hall?" Song Hao asked in surprise.
Shi Yun said: "It should be a kind of 'house' thing. It was buried in the ground when this house was built. But I heard that gold and silver were buried, but I didn't hear of bowls being buried. I saw one in Kunming before. On the construction site, when an old house was being demolished, a turtle that was used as a "house town" was found. It must have been hundreds of years old. When it was dug out from the ground, it was still alive.
"It's a house-keeping thing!" Song Hao nodded and said: "It makes sense, it must be used for this purpose. But it seems a little lighter to use a bowl."
"Why, you started digging the ground of the main room." Tang Yu walked in at this time.
Song Hao held up the celadon bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "I have gained something today. I dug up a porcelain bowl."
When Tang Yu saw it, he was surprised and said: "It was dug out from here. Maybe when this house was built hundreds of years ago, there was something special about burying a bowl. It should be regarded as a cultural relic." "
Tang Yu then took it, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, it looks ordinary, but the more you look at it, the more you like it. There is a special feeling. How much is the celadon bowl of the Ming Dynasty worth? Yes, it would be a pity to sell it, I might as well use it to serve soup for you to drink."
Song Hao smiled and said: "Forget it, you should just put it aside. It will make people feel uncomfortable to use such unearthed things to put things on the table to eat."
"Then just use it to hold the fruit. I happened to break that fruit plate." Tang Yu said and took the celadon bowl.
Song Hao, Aaron, and Shi Yun filled back the excavated sand and gravel, laid the stone bricks, and everything returned to its original state. The day's work also ended.
Several days have passed, and we have excavated every place where we thought something might be buried, but still found nothing. The ground in the entire house was also in a mess.
Song Hao was disappointed and returned to the room to rest. It's a pity that this ancient house has been classified as a cultural relic and protected. Otherwise, large-scale excavation equipment would have been hired to come here, knock down the house, and conduct a carpet-like search and excavation.
"Song Hao!" Tang Yu came in excitedly carrying the celadon bowl.
"It's really strange! The grapes in this celadon bowl have been stored for three days without spoiling. In today's hot weather, ordinary fruits will go bad if they are left outside the refrigerator for a few days." Tang Yu said, Put the celadon with a bunch of grapes in front of Song Hao.
When Song Hao looked at it, the bunch of grapes in the celadon bowl looked like they had just been washed, and there were still water drops hanging on them. Song Hao knew that Tang Yu would not make such a joke with him, so he couldn't help but said in surprise: "How could this happen? Isn't this celadon bowlThe fresh function is now available! "
Tang Yu said: "The day you dug this bowl out of the ground, I took it and washed it, preparing to put fruits in it. Then I remembered that you said that eating this unearthed thing from the ground would make people uncomfortable. , so I gave up. At that time, the bunch of grapes was already in it, and I just put it aside and forgot about it. It has been three days now, and the bunch of grapes has not deteriorated and rotted, and is still as fresh as fresh. It is really strange. So I brought it to you to see. This celadon bowl looks ordinary, but it has such a special function, which is a bit incredible. I think we will take it back to Kunming tomorrow and have a cultural relic expert identify it to see what kind of treasure it is. .¡±
After hearing this, Song Hao nodded and said: "Okay, I think the work here has come to an end. There is still a lot of work waiting for us to deal with at the Tianyi Hall. We can't spend too much time here. The two of us can come out. It's been too long, so it's time to go back. From now on, Aaron and Shi Yun will continue to search here in their free time. Since they can't find the "Linglan Secret Code" for a while, don't spend any time on it. It takes a lot of energy and time. Just do this work when you have time.¡±
After hearing this, Tang Yu agreed: "That's fine, let's do as you say. I'll call Director Zhao now and ask him to find a cultural relic expert to identify this animal for us when we return to Kunming. Celadon bowl.¡±
