(ENG) Extra Chapter - One Shot

Today is a Qing Ming celebration, some families who place ancestral tablet at home will commemorate and pray for the spirits of the ancestors in the house, after pilgrimage and cleaning the graves some time before.

Because Uncle Liu was Chinese, he never missed the Qing Ming celebration every year. He always prepared offerings and arranged them in the altar room then prayed for Suthiluck's ancestors.

However, since the incident in the cave, most of the ethnic oriental customs seemed to have been forgotten, until Arthit brought them up again.

So, that day Kong and Arthit went to the altar room and prepared simple offerings that he remembered and learned from Liu's uncle, then prayed to his ancestors.

"Did we should do this every year?" asked Kong to Arthit.

"Yeah, no matter how long the time passed, you may not ignore or forget your ancestor!"

Kong softly nodded, he was lazy to argue.

Arthit came forward and looked more closely at the wooden memorial tablet carved with an ancient Chinese character, on the altar, trying to read it. He was surprised to learn that Kong original surname was "Shu", which means the ancient book and seal were inherited from generation to generation by the village chief for two thousand years.

However, Arthit wonder what happened to the widow and the son of Liu Yi.

Arthit accidentally saw a very old bamboo scroll in front of the memorial tablet, so next he asked for Kong permission to read the scrolls.

Arthit finally learned about what happened and found something surprised that been written inside the scroll, but he didn't tell Kong.

"Wait, is that mean you ever met my ancestor and fight along with them?!" Kong sound excited. "That's cool!"

Arthit nodded. "The village chief is the most loyal person to commander Liu, he even wrote a letter to remind his grand children not to forget their status and kept to serve under Commander Liu, protect the book's secrets for thousands of years, until one day, commander Liu will return and claim all back..."

"You mean, Suthiluck legacy...actually belong to Liu's family? All of this?"

Arthit nodded.

"Well, should I told this good news to uncle Liu?"

"You'll make him regret!"

"At least, I must apologize on behalf of my ancestors for making him a servant in my family kingdom where he should be king!"

So, on the next day Kong went to visit uncle Liu in hospice also bring the book and the scroll to him.

The old man did not believe that Kong had actually opened the book, at first he thought the book that brought by Kong was fake, but somehow he recognized something on the cover and believed that the book was real.

"How did you opened it?"

"You don't need to know how, I have a way!"

"It's Arthit, right?"

"Whatever!" replied Kong. "I just want you to know that...there is no such an elixir of immortality, or any secret in it, you have been fooled and done everything in vain!"

"But, there is something that might make you happy..." Kong added, then handed the books and scrolls to him.

Uncle Liu slowly open the book, took the scroll and read it silently.
