The Three Spirit Stones

Ah Cai was holding her cat in the yard and basking in the sun when she heard Cui Zhi say that the Marquis asked her to bring her cell phone to the side hall. She asked what was going on. Cui Zhi said that her uncle had returned.

Oh! She understood! She wanted to "weave baskets" again.

After getting her cell phone, she walked into the side hall and saw a general in armor sitting there drinking wine in a majestic manner, with her husband and mother-in-law sitting on both sides. Her eyes immediately sparkled with stars!

Wow! So handsome and cool!

Apart from TV and movies, she has never seen a general wearing real armor in real life. This armor is not a plastic prop, but a real thing forged by hand that can withstand swords!

This texture and metallic luster that has weathered the ravages of battle cannot be compared to the imitation models seen in museums.

Cao Wei was drinking when he saw a little girl of about fifteen or sixteen walking towards him with a strange expression. She suddenly reached out and touched the armor plates on her body, then said to her nephew in admiration, "This craftsmanship is very good. The forging impact force is quite high. How long did it take to make it? This is the true spirit of craftsmanship!"

The veteran warrior froze in place!

Although I am old enough to be your father, there are differences between men and women. You touched me the first time we met. What does that mean?

Cheng Yu quickly pulled Ah Cai away and said to her, "This is my uncle, why don't you pay your respects to him!"

"...Ah! Uncle? Oh, hello uncle, ah no, hello uncle, uncle is polite!"

She seemed to have just noticed Cao Wei and instinctively wanted to reach out to greet him, but then she remembered that she should bow.

I knew it would be like this!

Cheng Yu thought to himself and said to Cao Wei apologetically, "Uncle, please don't be offended. She has always lived there and knows nothing about the social customs here."

Cao Wei softened his expression and said, "It's okay. It's OK."

Then he held Ah Cai up with both hands and said, "My nephew's wife, no need to be so polite!"

After greeting each other, everyone sat down. Ah Cai took out her cell phone and gave it to Cheng Yu, who showed it to Cao Wei.

Cao Wei looked at this high-tech gadget from left to right, then opened the phone case to look at it, touched the smooth screen, and was very shocked!

He thought he was well-informed, but he had never seen or even heard of the material of this thing.

This thin shell looks a bit like glass, but it is soft. There are a few protruding round eyes on the back and a few very delicate button-like things on both sides. The front also looks like glass, but I have never seen glass as smooth as a straight line before.

This kind of thing does not seem like something from this world, but what is its use?

He asked Cheng Yu with his phone, and Mrs. Cheng rushed to say that this thing could draw, and she saw it with her own eyes.

Then he pointed at Acai and Cheng Yu and said that this machine had drawn both of them, as well as Acai's father, and there were many houses high into the sky where one could touch the white clouds, and many delicacies that had never been seen before. The most amazing thing was that it could draw people in it, and the people inside would move.

……

"It moves? Is it a shadow puppet?"

"No, it's them. They look exactly the same, just like the two of them are in here."

"Forehead……,"

Cao Wei still couldn't understand.

"Xu'er and Acai became so small, walking, eating, and playing in this machine,"

Mrs. Cheng gestured with her hands.

"How is this possible? How can a person become so small and still be able to walk, eat, and play in it?"

Cao Wei didn't believe it.

"Oh! Fourth brother, I saw this with my own eyes, could it be fake?"

Mrs. Cheng was anxious!

Ah Cai couldn't help but said to Mrs. Cheng, "Mom, this is not a painting, it's an optical imaging technology, just like your eyes see this dish, there is also an eye here."

She pointed to the phone's camera and said, "This eye is just like a human eye. It also sees this dish, and then it records the image of this dish. When you want to see it, you can see it on the screen. Do you understand what I mean?"

The two of them still seemed to understand, so Cao Wei asked again, "Nephew's wife, you said this is an eye?"

"Um,"

"Then... is this machine alive?"

This time it was Ah Cai's turn to hold her forehead with her hand. She didn't know how to popularize science?

Seeing her like this, Cheng Yu laughed in his heart. He said to Cao Wei, "Uncle, this phone needs electricity to work. Now it's dead."

"What electricity? Is it electricity from the sky?"

"Yes, it's the electricity from the sky. The electricity from the sky goes in here," he pointed to the charging port.

"It exists inside, just like a person has blood. It will come alive and be like what I saw before. But now the electricity is used up, so it is dead!"

"Oh!!"

They both exclaimed in surprise at the same time!

"This should be made by the Thunder God. It needs electricity to work."

"Um!"

Cao Wei now completely believes that Cheng Yu has met a fairy. In addition to seeing the high-tech product like the mobile phone and hearing what his sister said, he also met A Cai.

In previous correspondence between Mrs. Cheng and him, she had already vaguely mentioned that Ah Cai was not a mortal, but a descendant of immortal blood. When he saw her today, it turned out that she was not at all similar to any other woman he had met in his decades of experience.

First of all, she was not afraid of him.

Cao Wei was a famous general on the battlefield of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is said that the success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. A general must have stepped on countless bones!

Not to mention a little girl, even a burly man would be shocked by his aura. But when Ah Cai saw him for the first time, she dared to touch him. This was not normal behavior at all.

If you say she is a fool, she is not a fool at all. She also knows what forging technology is.

There is also her appearance, innocent and lively, her quirky way of speaking, and the fact that she can make something as profitable as soap. All these things show that she is different from others.

This is actually a bit of a compliment to Ah Cai,

Girls who grow up in peacetime instinctively treat everyone equally and have no concept of hierarchy. Having never experienced war, they would never think about what kind of person a general is!

Cao Wei is Cheng Yu's uncle, so she naturally treats him as her uncle. How could she be afraid of her uncle?

This can also be regarded as the difference in concepts among people in different eras.

After dinner, Cao Wei suggested going to pay homage to his benefactor. In front of the Buddhist temple, he met Acai’s fake father, who indeed looked like an immortal.

Mrs. Cheng told him that her benefactor's appearance was copied exactly by her, but his clothes were different and of a very strange style.

Cao Wei said, "They are from the immortal family. What's so strange about them being different from us mortals?" Then he added, "I never thought Xu'er would have such an adventure? He could actually marry a descendant of the immortal family!"

But Mrs. Cheng smiled bitterly and said, it sounds great, but only you know the pain.

Ah Cai is not an easy person to serve. She has high and picky demands and a particularly bad temper. She has to control her son to be completely obedient. If she wants to go east, her son dare not go west. Her son often has to serve her like a grandmother and she is not allowed to have any opinions.

When Cao Wei heard this, he couldn't help but worry for his nephew.

But there's no way, your life was saved by her father, so it's only right that you work like a slave for her daughter!

Both the brother and sister couldn't help but sigh that marriage is better when the two are well matched!
