According to the old people in the village, when the grass and trees were prosperous, the Taoist temple was in full bloom, and people from all over the country would come here to burn incense. Later, as the land desertification, the people in the surrounding villages continued to move away, and the Taoist temple also declined. Finally, even the Taoist priests inside left, and the Taoist temple was abandoned. Later, someone built a house in the village and saw that the beams, woods, bricks and stones of the Taoist temple were good, so he moved them to use them. Gradually, the Taoist temple was only left with a foundation covered with weeds and a pile of broken bricks and rotten tiles.

Standing on the mountain where the Taoist temple is located, you can look at the scenery in the distance and enjoy the spectacular scene of the sunset in the desert, so Cai Hongming used to come here to play.

By chance, he found that there was a well buried in front of the weed foundation of the Taoist temple. The manhole was covered with stone slabs and covered with soil. If he hadn't been full and digging the soil and playing, he wouldn't have discovered it.

There is water in the well, and the water is sweet and it is endless all year round. Later, the village was short of water, so he used a water pipe to connect the water to the village. When he wanted to use it, he used a water pump to pump it, saving the pain of running back and forth from the town to the village every time it was dry.

After discovering the well, he opened a piece of land in front of the Taoist temple to grow things, mainly sweet potatoes.

When he first came to Qilian Village, he found that there were no sweet potatoes in this place, only potatoes.

In the past, people from other places often joked about locals, "There are three treasures for the farmers' hospitality, roast potatoes, stir-fried potatoes, and drink the potato soup with fullness."

From this sentence, we can see the locals' love for potatoes. Unfortunately, he doesn't like it, so he specially sent someone to post his favorite sweet potato seeds from southern Fujian. After several years of hard work, the sweet potatoes he planted have left over for a year.

When he came to the sweet potato field and looked at the neat rows of sweet potatoes, Cai Hongming felt full of pride.

It is now autumn, the weather is getting colder, and the sweet potato leaves are gradually withering yellow. You can see the fat sweet potatoes under the withered leaves breaking through the soil and thrusting out of the ground.

Cai Hongming walked to a piece of sweet potato exposed on the ground, squatted down and dug it up. After a while, a piece of sweet potato as big as a palm was exposed to the ground. When he dug it out, he found that it was about two kilograms. For these sweet potatoes, he started watering and fertilizing since the beginning of spring, and now he finally gained something.

After taking a look, he put down the sweet potatoes and ran to a small wooden house next to the sweet potato field to find a hoe to dig the sweet potatoes. After digging a few times, he had already harvested a lot.

Two years ago, for convenience, he built a wooden house on the original foundation of the Taoist temple to place tools, and occasionally slept here. Here, at night, he watched the stars in the sky and the breeze blowing, which made people feel an indescribable pleasure.

After digging about a bag of sweet potatoes, Cai Hongming went to the house to find a bag to pack the big sweet potatoes, leaving some small preparations for the tribute sweet potatoes.

The first thing to do is to build a small earth kiln for tribute sweet potatoes, then use firewood to burn the earth kiln to make it red, then take off the soil on it and throw the sweet potatoes in, then push the red earth kiln down and crush it on the sweet potatoes, and finally cover the outside with a layer of soil so that the heat does not dissipate. The sweet potatoes mainly use the red earth and the firewood ashes inside to stew the sweet potatoes inside. In this way, the sweet potatoes tribute are very sweet and delicious, full of innocence and childlike fun. It is the best game to take your friends to play. Cai Hongming has done this a lot in his hometown in southern Fujian.

To build an earth kiln, you must first dig a firewood pit below, and then use soil blocks to build an earth kiln on the pit.

So, Cai Hongming picked up the hoe and dug it down the ground. After digging for a few seconds, he suddenly heard a dark sound.

Well! It seems like there is something.

Curious, he picked up the hoe and dug it down. After a while, he dug up a square wooden box from below.

The wooden box is about thirty centimeters, and the whole body is pitch black, with bronze in the corners. There is a green copper buckle in front of the box. It looks ordinary, but there is a faint fragrance lingering.

Did you dig a treasure?

Cai Hongming raised his eyebrows, and his joy was beyond words. He no longer cared about the sweet potatoes, and ran towards the wooden house with the box in a daze.

When he returned to the house, he washed his hands solemnly and wiped it clean before opening the copper buckle. A bright light suddenly rushed out of it, but disappeared in an instant. After a closer look, there was a jade tripod inside, and the jade tripod was filled with golden silk, which seemed to be to avoid damage to the jade tripod. The jade tripod was square, like green feathers, and the whole body was round and smooth. There was an inexplicable pattern engraved around it, revealing a simple, heavy and majestic atmosphere, which was a bit like an object from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. He had seen bronze tripods of Shang and Zhou dynasties engraved with similar patterns before.

I've been sent, I've been sent.

For a moment, Cai Hongming was so happy that his eyebrows were flying. No matter whether this thing was an item from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the material of the jade tripod itself was extraordinary.

Hey!

Suddenly, he found that there was a lush and bright water inside the jade tripod.

Strangely, how could there be water when the jade tripod is contained in the box? Could it be the water marks that are transformed into the box? Cai Hongming thought, and put his nose over and smelled it. He felt that the water in the jade tripod had no decay smell of the earth's air, but it had a natural fragrance, which was very pleasant.

After thinking about it, I couldn't solve it, so I splashed the water inside out on the sweet potato field, then carefully wiped the jade tripod with a tissue before putting it back into the box, intending to find a place to bury it. This thing must not be exposed to people, otherwise it would be the root cause of trouble. The ancients said, "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." It is not unreasonable.

Just now, he put the jade tripod back into the wooden box, and suddenly, he found that the jade tripod actually emitted a ray of light in the darkness, which shocked his titanium dog eyes.

He couldn't believe what he found in front of him, so he hurriedly took the jade tripod to the dark corner.

In the darkness, the jade tripod emits a slight light, like a firefly. No wonder when I opened the box, I saw a ray of light rushing out. It turned out to be the light emitted by the jade tripod in the darkness.

If the jade tripod was only of a valuable treasure in his heart just now, then the jade tripod is now something that cannot be measured by money in his heart. Have you ever seen jade shine?

Looking at Yu Ding, he looked around with guilt, but was still a little worried. He hurriedly ran out of the house and inspected for a while, and found that no one around was relieved. This thing was too important. If it were not for love, he would never take it out again, otherwise something would have happened if someone saw it.

Thinking of this, he re-covered the box containing the jade tripod, and then dug a hole next to the wooden house to bury the box so that no one would come here to steal the things.

As for the idea of ​​bringing the jade tripod home, he never thought about it.

Whether in the village or in the town, there are people there. As long as there are people, the jade tripod is at risk of being leaked, and he dare not be careless. It’s not that he thinks people’s hearts too complicated, but that people can do everything for money now, so he has to be careful.

After burying the jade tripod, he pulled some sweet potato vines that were not yet completely yellow, and then carried a large bag of sweet potatoes to the bottom of the mountain.
