Gu Jinan said with a smile: "The student understands Mr.'s hard work. Mr. rest assured, Jin'an only wants to study with peace of mind now, as for fame, wait until Jin'an completes his studies. ”

"Okay." Shang Xiucai was very pleased, if he was such a shallow eyelid, he would not let go of such a big achievement, even if his life was in danger.

Gu Jinan is not afraid of death, but he knows that he is now a soft-spoken person, and the removal of half of the long is too big, if it happens, it is not only him who is in danger, but also his family.

He did not allow his family to be in danger any longer.

"Master, Old Man Gu and Miss Xiaoyu are here." Ah Jiu took the third grandfather and Gu Jinli to the door of the study and raised his voice.

Gu Jinan hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Third Grandpa, Xiaoyu, why are you here?" But something happened at home? ”

Gu Jinli smiled: "It's okay." We came to Uncle Shang to ask about the wasteland outside the town's gatehouse. ”

When Shang Xiucai heard this, he sighed and said, "What are you asking about that wasteland?" Come in first, come in and talk about it. ”

Gu Jinli walked into the Shang family's study with the third grandfather, and after sitting down, Gu Jinli told him what he meant.

She didn't hide that she wanted to buy land and build a shop, Shang Xiucai was straightforward, and she didn't like to hide people the most, and told him frankly that he would make every effort to help.

She also told her suspicion that the land was not a wasteland, but a ruin.

"I see." Shang Xiucai got up, walked to a bookshelf on the right side of the study, and took out a book from an old wooden box: "I heard my grandfather say about that piece of land, and I was afraid that I would forget it, so I wrote it down." ”

Shang Xiucai likes anecdotes, and will write down a lot of ancient things he hears, and flip them through when he has nothing to do, which is quite interesting to watch.

"The piece of land outside the gatehouse is indeed not a wasteland, but a big mansion, and the stinky pond that Dr. Wu said is the back garden of the house."

"That was all when Da Chu was first established, my grandfather said, I don't know why the house caught fire, it burned for a few days and nights, and the people in Shangjia Village and the town went to put out the fire. But the fire was too big to be saved, and after a few days, the house burned to nothing. The people who watched the house inside were also burned to death. ”

"Later, a few Dao aunts came to the ruins, and after they spent some time chanting the scriptures, no one has been to that ruin. Over time, it became a place for the townspeople to take out their garbage. ”

"As for who owns that house? Even my grandfather didn't know about them, but they only heard that it was a house of a family surnamed Lu in the south, and no one usually came to live in it, but it was just prepared for the rest of the main family when they went to Jiangnan. ”

The big families of the previous dynasty not only had many houses, but also built dock forts, raised private soldiers, and had great rights.

"Uncle Shang, is this a private house?"

Shang Xiucai nodded.

Gu Jinli frowned, this is difficult: "Do you know who the master's family is?" Is it still the family surnamed Lu? ”

Shang Xiucai shook his head: "No, the Lu family has already been defeated." The owner of the land that is now registered is the Hu family. ”

"Hu? Who is this Hu Shi? Can there be a residential address on the register? ”

Shang Xiucai shook his head: "No, this booklet was still registered in the early days of the founding of the country, and now this Hu family is no longer alive." ”

The trail is broken again.

Gu Jinli frowned, thinking back to the story Shang Xiucai had just said, and asked, "Dao Gu, where did those Dao Gu come from?" Do you know which Taoist temple they belong to?! ”

Shang Xiucai still shook his head: "I don't know, after so many years, I haven't seen a Dao Gu come to worship in that ruin." But ......"

Shang Xiucai suddenly remembered something: "The old man in the town who poured night incense, I heard that his mother was raised by Dao Gu, and I guess I know the origin of those Dao Gu." ”

What a twist and turn!

Gu Jinli immediately asked, "Uncle Shang, do you know where the old man who poured the night incense lives?" ”

"I know this, the old man and his wife live in the bamboo forest behind the ruins." Ah Jiu came in with refreshments and sighed: "That old man's surname is Mi, and he is also a bitter man, he used to have a son, but then he died of illness, so many years, only the old husband and wife lived." ”

Ah Jiu's personality is jumpy, he likes to run to the town when he has nothing to do, and he knows about Mi Lao Weng when he runs over.

"I know Mr. and Mrs. Mi Laoweng, and I often go to that bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots and bring them some food."

"Our fresh bamboo shoots were dug from the ruins of the bamboo forest?" Shang Xiu knew about it for the first time, but he ate a lot of fresh bamboo shoots.

Ah Jiu scratched his head and smiled: "Master forgiveness, I'm afraid that you will be unlucky, so I haven't dared to tell you the origin of the fresh bamboo shoots." ”

After all, the ruins have walked through the water and burned people to death, and most people will be taboo.

With a snap, Shang Xiucai took the book and slapped Ah Jiu's head: "Your master, I will taboo these?" Since you know that Mi Laoweng, take Uncle Gu and Xiaoyu to find someone, and I'll do this today. ”

According to his grandfather, the wasteland was actually very sought-after, and many people asked about it, but they didn't find the owner, and over time, no one asked anymore.

Now that the Gu family is eyeing that wasteland, if they want to do it, they have to hurry up, so as not to cause accidents.

"Eh, the little one will go to prepare the car and take the old man Gu to find Mi Laoweng." Ah Jiu ran out to prepare the car.

Gu Jin'an hadn't reached school yet, so he didn't follow the third grandfather and Gu Jinli to find someone, but only sent them out of the study yard.

Gu Jinli and the third grandfather went out of the Shangfu mansion, and after waiting at the gate of the mansion for a while, Ah Jiu came in a mule cart.

The mule cart was fast, and after a quarter of an hour it reached the bamboo forest behind the ruins.

The bamboo forest is very large, some of the bamboo is still growing on the ruins, Mi Laoweng's home is in the depths of the bamboo forest, it is a three-and-a-half-room green brick house, and there are faint traces of smoke on the green bricks.

An old woman was feeding chickens in the open space in front of the house, and when she saw Ah Jiu, she smiled and said, "Little Housheng, have you finished eating the fresh bamboo shoots?" ”

Mrs. Mi likes Ah Jiu very much, this offspring is a conscientious person, people in the neighborhood often come to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots to eat, none of them are given anything, they all leave after digging.

This later life will give them two mouthfuls of rice noodles, and on two occasions they also took two pieces of meat and a jar of meat oil, which is very generous.

Ah Jiu jumped off the mule cart and said with a smile: "Granny Mi, I'm not here to dig bamboo shoots today, I'm bringing two guests here, and I want to ask Mi Laoweng something." ”

"What's the matter? I know all about the old man, and if you ask me, I will do it. Mrs. Mi said, but she still turned her head and shouted into the house: "Old man, come out quickly, there are guests." ”

Mi Lao Weng is pouring night incense, he has to get up in the middle of the night, and now he is sleeping back to sleep, but he feels shallow, Mi Lao Lao shouted a few times, he woke up, walked out of the house and asked, "What guest?" What's the matter with the old man? ”

Gu Jinli stepped forward, saluted Mi Laoweng, and asked, "Grandpa, we want to ask, do you know what has Hu characters, only Daogu's Taoist temple?" ”。

Mi Lao Weng paused and said, "Are you looking for Huyunguan?" ”
