"Yun Lian! Yunxiang! Shiro! ”

The three children turned around when they heard the sound, and Yun Xiang couldn't recognize the person who came, "That's ......"

"It's Uncle Li of the fourth grandfather's family who brought his sister Mei and Sister Lan." After Shiro finished speaking, he hurriedly greeted him, "Uncle Li, why are you here?" ”

"Just now, when your fourth grandfather was walking, he saw you taking things and walking up the mountain, so he hurried home and sent us to catch up." Liu Chengli wiped his sweat, "My father said that the old house needs to be cleaned up, I'm afraid it will take some effort!" Let's help. When your aunt feeds the family's livestock, she will come, and we will go first. ”

Sister Mei and Sister Lan came over and took Yun Lian and Yun Xiang's hands, "Let's go, let's go together." My grandfather said that the house would have to walk for a while, and we didn't think it was far away while we talked. ”

Yun Xiang's heart was also very happy, she had already guessed that the so-called ancestral house would definitely not be easy to clean up, and with a few more people to help, she would be more relieved.

"Why haven't you yet?" Yun Xiang looked back at the road she had come from, it was some distance from the village. "If you go any further, you'll be in Mt. Izumo."

Mt. Izumo, as the name suggests, is so high that it is said that when you stand on the summit, you can see the clouds walking underfoot. Compared to Nanshan, this mountain is much steeper, and there are some relatively large beasts. Therefore, people from mountain villages generally do not enter this mountain to carry out activities, at most they only pick up firewood and mushrooms at the foot of the mountain. Even those who specialize in hunting only dare to go halfway up the mountain at most, and never dare to go any further.

"It's coming soon." Liu Chengli pointed to a bamboo forest and said, "Did you see it?" It's in the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain! ”

"In the bamboo forest...... Yun Xiang was a little puzzled, "Why did you have to live so far away in the first place?" ”

"I don't know." Liu Chengli shook his head, "It seems that because our ancestors are foreigners, not from the mountain village." And what kind of great literati or something, so he only lived in seclusion at the foot of the mountain. Later, my grandfather, who was your grandfather's generation, moved out and went to live in the village. ”

The fourth grandfather is almost eighty years old, and even if he moves out after getting married, this so-called ancestral house has a history of about 60 years. I'm afraid this place is not optimistic.

The scale of this bamboo forest is not small, the bamboo forest is close to Mt. Izumo, and the spring water that flows down from Mt. Izumo becomes a small stream, which slowly flows into the bamboo forest, and then I don't know whether it is man-made or natural, and it gathers into a pool. Yun Xiang took a deep breath of the fragrance, "The place that our ancestor has found is really good, just this scenery is enough to enter the painting." ”

"If it's so good, why did they all move away in the first place?" Shiro asked, puzzled.

"According to your fourth grandfather, it's because the juniors can't bear to be lonely, some of them went to join the army, and some went to take the merit test. Others simply moved to the village to live with everyone. That's what we left in the village. Several others are out there and haven't been back for years. It is said that the ancestors ordered that after they passed away, the few branches that had left were not allowed to return here. So now, there is no contact. ”

Yun Xiang nodded thoughtfully, and saw that several people in front of her had paused. She looked up in the direction everyone was looking, and immediately scolded in her heart, "Pit daddy, this is!" ”

This small courtyard is really not big. It seems that there is a reason why people moved away back then. Part of the courtyard wall has collapsed, and the wall skin has fallen off severely, and I am afraid that the entire courtyard wall will have to be pushed to rebuild.

"Anyway, the gate is still intact!" Liu Chengli also smiled stiffly, "Look at this gate, it's a good wood!" Rugged and durable! Just repaint it all over again. ”

"The lock is completely rusted, and it looks like it can only be smashed." Shiro checked the lock and couldn't open it with the key.

"Split it." Yun Xiang said, "Hurry up and see what it looks like inside now, I hope there are still people living in it." ”

"Bang dang!" The lock was split, Liu Chengli pushed hard, and the door squeaked open, and the scene inside appeared in front of everyone.

Facing the gate is a shadow wall painted with begonia patterns, Yun Xiang frowned, this pattern doesn't look like it should appear on the shadow wall, besides, what did such a small yard do with the shadow wall?

Turning the shadow wall, everyone was shocked by the sight in front of them at the same time. The yard was overgrown with weeds, and when people came in, they disturbed all kinds of small animals lurking in the grass. In the original small garden, only wild flowers bloomed brilliantly, and some peonies or something, all of which were on the verge of death. The stone table was still in good condition, except that several stone benches had fallen crookedly in the grass.

"This ......" Yun Lian was a little unsure of what to do, and turned her head to look at Yun Xiang and Shiro.

Yun Xiang took a deep breath, "Let's go, let's go inside and have a look." ”

This courtyard has three main rooms, two in the east and two in the west. Farmers have the practice of burning the east but not the west, so the kitchen is next to the east chamber. Shiro pushed the door of the living room open, and a large amount of dust flew up, choking everyone and coughing.

It was a living room, divided into two parts by partitions, with a few hoop chairs on one side and a large round table on the other side, which accompanied the stools. It should be a restaurant on one side and a restaurant on the other.

"This table and chair are the same as the door, they are all good materials, and they can still be used with paint!" Liu Chengli said happily. He knew that it was not easy for this family, and if he had to buy everything by himself, he was afraid that he would not have the money.

A few people nodded, but Yun Xiang keenly noticed that whether it was the carving on the back of the chair or the pattern of the panes, it was actually a begonia. Could it be that this begonia is the family emblem of the Liu family? But generally those who have a family emblem are big clans, what is the origin of the two ancestors of the Liu family? Is it to escape the world? Or are you here to flee? Preferably, not the latter.

"I think the furniture should be cleaned up." Shiro wiped the thick layer of dust from the table, "But it's a lot more troublesome to clean." "If nothing else, let's just say that it takes a lot of work to clean the grass in the yard.

"In this way, Shiro and I will remove the weed." Liu Chengli assigned, "The four of you should scrub the inside of the house first." Pick up what can be used, and when I go back, I will call a carpenter to repair and paint it. ”

"Alas!" Sister Mei and Sister Lan agreed, and immediately rolled up their sleeves to see that they were hands-on, and they looked like people who often worked, and they were very quick to do things.

"Sisters, you clean up the living room first, and I'll look for anything to see if there is anything to fill with water." Yun Xiang came out of the living room, thought about it, and it was not difficult to see that the two ancestors of the Liu family should be particular about people, so they planned to see if there were any things like basins for washing their faces above the left and right rooms.
