Tang Chen didn't see it with his own eyes, but when he heard the fourth brother say this, he could only nod his head ambiguously, in fact, he was still confused.

"Alas!"

Zeng Lao sighed and said, "There was also a small stream on Qilin Mountain that merged with Lin Rim Creek to form a small river, bypassing the front of the ancestral house. But for some reason, in the past year, the water volume of these two streams has plummeted, and one stream has even dried up completely. Originally, the small river in front of the ancestral house was not rich in water, and as a result, the water volume decreased sharply. In addition, in recent years, the riverbed has been seriously silted, and the downstream terrain has also been raised a lot, so that the only remaining stream has been diverted. Well, the creek has dried up completely......"

As he spoke, the car had already driven into the country road.

The characteristic of this country road is that it is narrow, only enough for two cars to pass by. On both sides of the roadbed, there are no guardrails, and there are rice fields below.

The rice in Fujian Province can be harvested twice a year, and now it is only October of the new calendar, so there is still a little water in the rice fields, and it seems that it is almost time to transplant.

Tang Chen noticed that there was no shortage of water in the nearby rice fields.

But think about it, now that agricultural irrigation is so developed, a pumping machine is enough to solve the problem of irrigation, which has little to do with the interruption of the flow. You must know that China's arable land is decreasing year by year, so why is it that the cultivated fields have not been drained before, but this year is an exception? Then there is only one truth, and there is a problem at the source.

Tang Chen knew that this inference could be deduced by ordinary feng shui masters, and even without a feng shui master, Zeng Lao and they could figure it out.

Zeng Lao and the fourth brother were talking about the situation of the ancestral house, and soon crossed a small bridge and came to the door of a rather imposing quaint building.

The simplicity is because of the history of this building, and the grandeur is the exquisite cut and glue on the roof, and the color is gorgeous, as if it was newly built. The exterior materials are mainly red bricks and white stones, and the internal materials are mainly wooden frames. The stone buildings are built entirely of granite, and this kind of "brick and stone" (using broken bricks and stones to mix regularly) plus Hui'an stone carvings are famous all over the country, and they are exquisite. Just like in the building of this courtyard, the exquisite brick carvings, wood carvings, clay sculptures, cut and paste and rich and vivid roof forms have the characteristics of Fujian Province, and Tang Chen is dizzying.

Tang Chen set his eyes on the small bridge, which was also built of granite, which was strong and durable, and it was no problem for the car to walk through.

The piers and railings are carved with delicate stone carvings, just like a work of art.

Seeing the surprise in Tang Chen's eyes, Zeng Lao said a little proudly: "Master Tang, my ancestral mansion is okay, right?"

"Very good!"

Tang Chen's words are sincere, in a city with such a deep cultural heritage, it is really a pleasing thing to have such a dwelling.

"Actually...... This is something that has only been repaired in recent years......" The fourth brother sighed and said, "I couldn't even eat enough before, and my family was separated, so where did I have the money to repair it?" Why do we care so much about this ancestral home? is because it carries the memories of our childhood, and the hard work we put into it......"

"Actually, to put it bluntly, this place has always been our roots!"

Zeng Lao concluded, and the fourth brother also bowed slightly, agreeing with this sentence.

Tang Chen nodded, walked to the bridge and took a look: "Hey, isn't there still water?"

Yes, Tang Chen was not mistaken, there was a shallow river under the bridge, flowing slowly.

"That's because we've cleared all the mud......"

An old voice sounded from behind him, and Tang Chen turned his head to see that it was an old man with a dragon's head cane.

"Second brother!"

Zeng Lao and the fourth brother said in unison, walked over left and right, and helped him over.

"This young man, is it ......?"

This old man called Second Brother, although he was old, his speech was still very clear, and he looked Tang Chen up and down with a pair of eyes that had no brilliance.

"Second brother, Master Tang is a feng shui master I invited from Panzhou, don't look at his young age, but his hard work is very good!" Zeng Lao hurriedly introduced, "Master Tang, this is my second brother, and he is also the current head of the Zeng family!"

Tang Chen hurriedly said, "Second Master is good!"

The second brother nodded, but obviously didn't have much interest in Tang Chen, turned his head to Zeng Lao and said, "Ah Jiu, I'm sure you've seen it, the situation is very serious! We spent a lot of money to dredge the silt in the riverbed and dig down the terrain, but this river is still only so much." If this continues, how much wealth will our Zeng family have?"

"Second brother, it's not what I said, the whole economic environment is not very good now, what's the matter with Feng Shui?" said the fourth brother with a frown.

Zeng Lao tugged at the sleeve of the fourth brother's shirt vigorously, but the fourth brother still looked at the old man called the second brother stubbornly, and did not flinch at all.

"Alas, Ah Si, you are still like this...... You don't understand it, but if you do, you know how important Feng Shui is. To tell you the truth, I already feel like my body is getting worse day by day...... cough cough cough cough ......" The second brother was a little excited as he spoke, and as soon as he was excited, he suddenly coughed.

Zeng Lao and the fourth brother hurriedly said, "Second brother, I'll help you in and sit......"

"No!"

The second brother shook off the fourth brother's hand angrily, shook his head and said, "You think I'm joking?!"

The fourth brother was a little stuttering, looking at the second brother's serious appearance, he felt that he couldn't stimulate the second brother anymore. If the second brother is in a hurry, maybe he can't catch his breath, and he has to be sent to the hospital.

"Alas, you are all not young, don't you feel that your body is not as good as a year?" the second brother sighed and said, "Last year, my body was still good, but this year just after the Spring Festival, all the bad things are gone." Insomnia, dreams, weakness in the hands and feet, and easy access to colds...... I went to the hospital for a check-up, but I couldn't find anything. I know that this is the effect of Feng Shui on me, because the river was cut off at the end of last year......"

There was a worried look on Zeng Lao's face, he was also a well-informed person, and he knew that some old people could accurately predict when they would die. Don't look at the second brother so indifferent now, maybe he has already understood that his time is running out. The most helpless and powerless thing for people is to watch life go by. No matter how much money you spend or how much power you have, you can't get it back.

"As far as I know, 'Mountain Master Ding Shui is the main wealth', second brother, are you thinking too much?" Zeng Lao tried to enlighten him, but unfortunately the second brother had already looked down on him.

"Ah Jiu, you know one but don't know the other. The second brother said lightly, "There is a problem in the feng shui link, and it affects the overall situation. No amount of remedying the problem will help. Do you think it's as simple as the river breaking off? Wrong, this is a matter of feng shui for our ancestral home, and it is a major matter related to the Zeng family!"
