Chapter 260 The Master of the Wasteland
Gu Jinan said with a smile: "The student understands sir's painstaking efforts. Sir, don't worry, Jin'an just wants to study in peace now. As for fame, we will wait until Jin'an completes his studies."
"Okay." Shang Xiucai was very pleased. If he were someone with short-sighted eyes, he would not let it go if he encountered such a great achievement, even if his life was in danger.
Gu Jinan is not afraid of death, but he knows that he is a man of little importance now, and to withdraw half of his life is too big a deal. If it happens, not only him, but also his family will be in danger.
He will not allow his family to be in danger again.
Sir, Mr. Gu and Miss Xiaoyu are here. Ah Jiu took Third Grandpa and Gu Jinli outside the study door and raised his voice to report.
Gu Jinan hurriedly came out and asked, "Grandpa Third, Xiaoyu, why are you here? But something happened at home?"
Gu Jinli smiled and said: "It's okay. We came to Uncle Shang to ask about the wasteland outside the gatehouse in the town."
When Shang Xiucai heard this, he exclaimed and said, "Why are you asking about that wasteland? Come in first, and we'll talk later."
Gu Jinli and Third Grandpa walked into the Shang family's study. After sitting down, Gu Jinli explained the purpose of their visit.
She did not hide the fact that she wanted to buy land to build a shop. She was a scholar and an upright person. She disliked people who were secretive. Only when she told him frankly would he make efforts to help.
She also told her that she suspected that the area was not a wasteland, but a ruin.New novel chapters are published on
"So that's it." Shang Xiucai stood up, walked to a bookshelf on the right side of the study, and pulled out a book from an old wooden box: "I heard my grandfather tell me about that piece of land. I was afraid of forgetting it, so I remembered it. Come down."
Shang Xiucai likes anecdotes and records. He will write down many ancient things he hears and read them when he has nothing to do. It is quite interesting to watch.
The land outside the gatehouse is indeed not wasteland, but a large house. The smelly pond that the old doctor Wu mentioned is the back garden of that house.
"That was all when Da Chu was first established. Grandpa said that he didn't know why the house caught fire. It burned for several days and nights. People from Shangjiacun and the town went to put out the fire. But the fire was too big and they couldn't be saved at all. , and after a few days, the house was burned down to nothing. The people looking after the house inside were also burned to death."
Later, several Taoist nuns came to the ruins and chanted sutras there for some spiritual salvation. No one has ever been to the ruins. Over time, it became a place for people in the town to dump garbage.
After all, those ruins have been through water and burned to death, so most people would be taboo.
With a snap, Shang Xiucai took the book and lightly hit Ah Jiu on the head: "Your master, I will be taboo about this? Since you know that old man, take Sanshu Gu and Xiaoyu to find someone. , we will take care of this matter today.
His grandfather said that the wasteland was actually very popular. Many people asked about it, but they could not find the owner. As time went by, no one asked anymore.
Now the Gu family is eyeing that wasteland, and if they want to take action, they have to hurry up to avoid something unexpected happening.
Hey, little one, go prepare the car and take Mr. Gu to find Mr. Mi. Ah Jiu ran out to prepare the car.
Gu Jinan hadn't finished school yet, so he didn't go looking for anyone with Third Grandpa and Gu Jinli, but only sent them out of the study yard.
Gu Jinli and Third Grandpa left the Shang Mansion and waited at the gate of the mansion for a while before Ah Jiu came driving a mule cart.
The mule cart was very fast, and it took a quarter of an hour to reach the bamboo forest behind the ruins.
The bamboo forest is very large, and some bamboos are still growing on the ruins. Mr. Mis home is deep in the bamboo forest. It is a three-and-a-half-room house made of blue bricks. There are still faint traces of smoke on the blue bricks.
An old woman was feeding chickens in the open space in front of the house. When she saw Ah Jiu, she smiled and said, "Little young man, have you finished eating the fresh bamboo shoots?"
Mrs. Mi likes Ah Jiu very much. This youngster is a conscientious person. People nearby often come to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest to eat. No one gives anything to her. They just leave after digging.
This young man gave them rice and noodles to the old couple, and twice he also took two pieces of meat and a jar of meat oil, which was very generous.
Ah Jiu jumped off the mule cart and said with a smile: "Mother Mi, I'm not here to dig bamboo shoots today. I'm here with two guests. I want to ask Mr. Mi something."
"What's the matter? I know everything about the old man, just ask me." Mrs. Mi said, but she still turned around and shouted into the room: "Old man, come out quickly, we have guests."
Mr. Mi is a night-scented person and has to get up in the middle of the night. Now he is sleeping in his cage, but he has little sleep. After Mrs. Mi shouted a few times, he woke up, walked out of the house and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do with the old man?"
Gu Jinli stepped forward, saluted Mr. Mi, and asked: "Grandpa, we want to ask, do you know of any Taoist temples with Hu characters and only Taoist nuns?"
Milaowen paused and said, "Are you looking for Huyun Temple?"
