338, county chronicles
The children and grandchildren returned without a home......
Aoki muttered this sentence silently, inexplicably remembering the scene of his first day in Liuying Lane.
Xia Wenyuan couldn't tell more stories about the Mulberry Camp and the Hua family because the time had passed so long. At that time, Xia Wenyuan was just a child, but now he is an old man.
Memories are like winter snow, fluttering and dancing in the wind, stacked on the ground, looking thick, but when the sun shines, it turns into water and disappears without a trace. The next year will be another heavy snowfall. Year after year, the snow when I was a child finally left some beautiful and vague impressions.
Aoki, on the other hand, has a different sense of memory. His memories are not like melted snow, but frozen ice. There is no trace of the snow that has melted, and there are traces that are also fluttering. The frozen ice, on the other hand, is very heavy, and the thick layer of ice wraps in a vague shadow, telling you that there is something inside, but you can't see what is inside.
Xia Wenyuan suggested that Aoki check the county records of Wuzhong, a big family like the Hua family has been operating in Wuzhong for hundreds of years, and it is impossible that there is no record in the county chronicles of the past dynasties. However, the history of Wuzhong is very complex, and the county chronicles have been scattered and recompiled several times, and it is too difficult to find what you want from the vast and extremely confusing versions.
Aoki has his own way, opened his phone, and entered a line of words in the Ghost file: Help me find out if there is any information about Mulberry Garden, Mulberry Camp and Hua Family in Wuzhong County.
He didn't know how the ghost file was connected and woke up the ghosts on the Internet, presumably something like a virus, which would send the information to the server in the basement of the Mei Yiqiu Experimental Building. Of course, it is also possible that there are strange mechanical consciousnesses on the Internet that are sending messages to each other.
If it's the latter, it means that the Internet is not only a super brain with consciousness, but also has a social structure, which is a bit scary to think about.
Prefectural records are generally not posted on the Internet, and even if they do, they are all PDF versions, which is very difficult to consult, but things that are difficult to do by human means are not a problem for computers.
After only a few moments, the ghost sent back a message, all of which were pictures of the traditional vertical photocopy, in addition to the screenshot of the content page, but also framed the keywords, and at the same time cut off the cover of the version to which it belonged:
1, Pingjiang Zhi Wanli Edition 40 volumes of character chronicles: Pingjiang people Sang Yun, the word Lin Xi, after Tang Sang Daomao, Shantai Yi Dunjia technique, sex seclusion, Shizong does not come out, living in the left of the river, planting mulberry all over the place, raising silkworms to Yi sex, Mulberry Garden, the villagers are rich.
2, Wu Zhi Qianlong edition of the thirty-two volumes of scenery: the best of silk, only the red silk reeled by the Hua Mulberry Garden, its quality is better than that of the weaving house, or the wild mulberry silkworm is fed with human blood, so its silk is red, its silk is like blood, and people dare not wear it
3, Wu County Zhi Republic of China Edition 12 Persona Chronicles: Mulberry Garden has mulberry trees more than ten zhang high, its leaf is three years old and one ripe, can cure children's diseases, perched on the giant black, shaped like a falcon, night eater soul, people dare not approach
β¦β¦
Aoki looked at it and felt a little strange, this first article is like the way Shi Zhi writes, but it's obviously surnamed Hua and lives in Mulberry Garden, how did it become a surname Sang? And the last two are more like telling stories about gods and monsters, and there is a feeling of reading the notes of Weicaotang.
He took the phone to Xia Wenyuan to see.
Xia Wenyuan put on his glasses, looked at them carefully, and asked, "That's all?" β
He didn't ask Aoki how he managed to find out the relevant content in the prefectural chronicles in such a short period of time, and the experts who study local chronicles may not be able to find what they are looking for so quickly and accurately with the help of computers. In his eyes, Aoki is a magical person, many times stronger than those experts.
"That's all."
Aoki also felt that the content was a little missing, but he also did not doubt the ghost's abilities. Although the county records are huge and complex, it is extremely troublesome to check by manpower, but this amount of information is really nothing to a computer, let alone an Internet with awareness.
Xia Wenyuan thought for a while and said, "That's a bit weird. It stands to reason that with the scale and age of the mulberry garden, it is impossible to talk about a few words like this! Unless ......"
"Unless what?"
"Unless everything I knew as a kid was fake, but that's incredible!" Xia Wenyuan shook his head as he spoke, feeling unbelievable, "There is another possibility, that is, when the county chronicles of the past dynasties were compiled, the people of the Hua family intervened." β
"Meddling? Why did the Hua family do this? Aoki asked.
"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Just like now, if I can, I don't want the Xia family to be exposed to the media every day, but unfortunately I can't! Xia Wenyuan said with emotion.
Aoki said: "The wealth and energy of the Hua family back then were greater than you are now? β
"Times are different, it's hard to compare." Xia Wenyuan nodded and said, "But with the system of that era, it is not difficult to meddle in the compilation of county chronicles, the difficult thing is that from the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, there have been three dynasties and dozens of emperors, and all the county chronicles have intervened, which is not something that ordinary people can do." The privacy of the emperor's family can be turned upside down after time, not to mention the people? And ......"
Xia Wenyuan paused slightly, "I always feel that the fire is very strange. β
Aoki asked, "What's the trick?" β
Xia Wenyuan said: "A big family that has been inherited for several generations, brothers, relatives, friends, teachers and friends, and protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, but I am afraid that the root system is more intricate than the thousand-year-old mulberry, how can it be burned without a trace in a fire?" β
Aoki has always felt strange, not to mention that such a big family as the Hua family is an ordinary family with a slightly more populous population, and it is not easy to gather together and burn it clean.
"But didn't you see the fire with your own eyes? It's impossible to fake. β
"Not really." Xia Wenyuan shook his head lightly, "But think about it carefully, after the fire in Sangyuan, it was the beginning of the War of Resistance, not only in China, but also in the whole world experienced an unprecedented war. β
Aoki felt that Xia Wenyuan was reasonable, and thought of the "Tang Sang Daomao, Shantai Yi Dunjia Technique" contained in the county chronicles, could it be that these people really have the ability to predict the future, and know the great turmoil in the following decades, so they use fire to avoid disaster?
Speaking of the unpredictable prophet, Aoki remembered that he was trapped in the zero-dimensional space in Zhao Pengcheng's dream and almost couldn't get out. At that time, Zhao Pengcheng almost experienced a complete life, if Aoki was trapped forever, then theoretically, the life that Zhao Pengcheng experienced was the real history of this world in the future.
But Aoki came out with the help of a crow, which Zhao Pengcheng did not expect. Because time in the zero-dimensional space will not pass, the moment Aoki came out, time returned to the moment before he was trapped, and Zhao Pengcheng was also pulled back. However, the experience of that life remained in Zhao Pengcheng's memory, like a lucid dream.
Aoki saw the events of the next few decades from Zhao Pengcheng's dreams, and this is not a kind of unpredictable prophet? If he doesn't make any efforts, but lives in seclusion, then the future world will probably be what Zhao Pengcheng has experienced!
So, that's why he had to go to the South Pacific. He had to change all this, even if it was just to prevent his life from becoming what Zhao Pengcheng saw.
