Chapter 224: Increase the ancestral land
"Yes, and for many years. When he mentioned this, Zengyu's face was solemn, and he introduced the situation in the village to Mu Yundong.
Zengjia is located in a deep mountain at the junction of Guangdong, Hunan and Jiangxi, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the environment is elegant. However, more than 10 years ago, a villager in the village suddenly contracted a strange disease, and the patient had convulsions all over his body and foamed at the mouth.
At first, everyone thought it was epilepsy and didn't pay attention to it, but the patient passed away soon after.
Since then, people have continued to become infected, including some livestock. At the onset of the disease, the patient has convulsions all over his body and foams at the mouth, while the animal becomes agitated and then collapses to the ground.
The villagers panicked and began to seek medical treatment, but none of the doctors could accurately diagnose the cause of the disease and could not come up with an effective treatment.
This incident alarmed the local authorities, and people began to come down to investigate, from water quality to soil testing, but there were no problems.
Some people wondered if there was some harmful poison left behind during the anti-Japanese war, after all, it was once a battlefield, but the local authorities denied this after patrolling around.
Some people are worried about whether there are some bacteria in the air, such as some strange bugs, but all the major hospitals have conducted detailed tests on people who are sick, but there is nothing.
Every year, people and livestock get sick, and people often die, and the people in the village start to panic, and people continue to flee, and now half of the people in the village have moved out.
The first thing that didn't move out was that my ancestors had lived there for generations, and the other was that they didn't know where to move, so they could only stay in the village.
"Didn't you move your family?" asked Mu Yundong.
"We have a big family and a big business, and it is not easy to move. And it's strange to say, there are hundreds of people in our family, and only a few of them have had that kind of disease for more than ten years, so everyone didn't say they wanted to move. Zengyu explained.
"It's very strange, living in the same place at the same time, there are so many people in your family, there should be a better chance of getting sick. Mu Yundong couldn't figure it out.
"That's right, so at the beginning, some villagers suspected that our family was doing something to squeeze their small families out of that area, but then some of our family started to get sick, and they didn't say anything. ”
"Strange, looks like I'm going to have to go. Mu Yundong became curious.
"In that case, let's go now, because of Reiko's illness, we haven't been home for a while. "Zengyu is a little urgent.
"Wait a minute, I'll take care of some things. Mu Yundong pointed to this beautiful and gloomy garden and said, "Your garden looks elegant, why is it so yin." ”
"This was originally the ancestral land of our family, but then there was a big bloodbath here, so we moved our family away. ”
"Oh, do you want to talk about it?" Mu Yundong became curious again.
Of course, it's not a secret, everyone who knows the local history knows. Zengyu said with a smile.
"Our ancestor is named Taishan, who was originally a disciple of Luban and a bamboo craftsman. His descendants continued to learn and carry forward the craftsmanship of the ancestors, and later developed to do everything, from manual mechanism design, to craftsman architectural design, to garden landscape design, everything was outstanding, and continued to pass on to future generations. ”
"Slowly the family developed, the family business in this area is getting bigger and bigger, for thousands of years, most of the royal gardens, the mansion gardens of various dignitaries and nobles are designed by our family. ”
"The landscape we designed is elegant and ancient. Even our own home is designed like a garden, with pavilions and pavilions, unique scenery and full of layering. ”
"More than 100 years ago, a corrupt official took a fancy to our ancestral house and forcibly occupied the house. The family had to move out of here. Later, when the corrupt official happened, hundreds of members of the whole family were destroyed, and this place became the land of Shura. The Zeng family never moved back. ”
"It wasn't until decades ago that my ancestors rebuilt it to its original appearance, but my family always felt that there were too many dead people and didn't want to come back to live, so I ran it as a leisure hotel so as not to waste the garden I had built. ”
"I see. Mu Yundong didn't expect the Zeng family to have such a background.
No wonder this place is designed with such classical charm, it turned out to be the work of the descendants of Luban's disciples.
Mu Yundong opened the Eye of Heaven and found that there was a lot of dark gray life vitality floating in the sky above the entire Molian Residence, which could not be dissipated.
"I'll deal with it for you, get rid of these yin qi, so that you can fully open it, otherwise it's a pity that such a big garden is. ”
Mu Yundong took action, these yin qi were just the remnants of some vitality after the disappearance of life, without any life, and it was easy to clean up. In less than an hour, he had cleared the garden.
However, to his surprise, not long after the cleanup, there was a lot of gray life energy floating in the sky.
"It shouldn't be, this bloody case has been hundreds of years now, and no matter how heavy those grievances are, they have almost disappeared, how can they keep popping up. Mu Yundong muttered in his heart
"What's wrong?" Seeing Mu Yundong frowning, Zengyu asked.
Mu Yundong pondered for a moment, "You guys are weird here, it's not clean, are you sure that nothing else has happened here except for the bloody case more than a hundred years ago?"
Zengyu thought for a while and said: "There shouldn't be, then this place has been deserted, and our family has not lived in it for decades, and it has not been until the past few years that we have started to live." ”
"No, there must be something. Mu Yundong opened the eye of heaven to the extreme, even underground.
At this moment, a waiter came to report, "Boss, someone from the Zhao family has come to visit." ”
"Got it, tell them to wait in the reception room of Building 1. Zengyu waved his hand.
"Is Boss Zeng in trouble?" Mu Yundong saw that Zengyu was unhappy.
"Well, it's a bit of a problem. Zengyu sighed, "Our land has been taken care of, and I have proposed to buy it again and again, so naturally I will not sell it." One is that this is our ancestral home, and the other is that the price they give is too low to accept. ”
"Zhao family?" Mu Yundong frowned, thoughtful, "I'll go with you, maybe it's my old friend." ”
The two came to the reception room of Villa No. 1, where a beautiful and charming woman and several young people sat opposite each other, drinking tea.
"Sure enough, it's an old friend. Mu Yundong chuckled.
"Do you know her?" Zengyu was surprised.
"Oh, not to mention acquaintance, it's just an old friend. Mu Yundong also sighed, this Zhanhai is too small, and some people can meet it wherever they go.
The two entered the reception room, and the glamorous woman was stunned at first, "Mu Yundong, why are you here?"
Mu Yundong smiled faintly, "Miss Zhao can come, why can't I?"
Zhao Fei'er didn't look good at Mu Yundong, but she was choked up again when she first came, and her mood suddenly became unhappy.
"I don't bother to pay attention to you today. Zhao Fei'er turned to Zengyu, "Boss Zeng, how are you thinking about it?"
"Miss Zhao, I made it very clear last time, this is our family's ancestral home, and we won't sell it. Zengyu was resolute.
"Hmph, ancestral house?" Zhao Fei'er scoffed, "No one has lived here for hundreds of years since your family increased, and now Zhanhai has every inch of land, and you don't use such a large amount of land, it's a waste of the country's resources." ”
"This is our family's land, we can use it however we want, the local leaders didn't say anything, Miss Zhao, you are too lenient. Zengyu said dissatisfied.
"A down-and-out family is so arrogant. Zhao Fei'er snorted coldly, "Tell you, I'm not here to discuss with you today, but to inform you, you have to be ready to sell the land, and I will sign the contract in three days at the latest." ”
