Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 260 The Master of the Wasteland

Gu Jinan said with a smile: "Students understand the painstaking efforts of Mr. Don't worry, Mr. Jin'an just wants to study in peace now. As for the fame and fame, we will talk about it after Jin'an finishes his studies."

"Okay." Shang Xiucai was very relieved, if it was someone with shallow eyelids who received such a great contribution, even if his life was in danger, he would not let it go.

Gu Jin'an is not afraid of death, but he knows that he is a low-key person now, and it is too big to remove half of the head. If it happens, not only he, but also his family will be in danger.

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

"Master, Mr. Gu and Miss Xiaoyu are here." Ah Jiu brought Third Grandpa and Gu Jinli to the door of the study, and raised his voice to report.

Gu Jin'an rushed out to greet her and asked, "Third Grandpa, 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."

Shang Xiucai snorted when he heard this, and said, "Why are you asking about that wasteland? Come in first, let's talk later."

Gu Jinli and the third grandfather walked into the study of the Shang family, and after they were seated, Gu Jinli explained his intentions.

She didn't hide the fact that she was going to buy land and build a shop, Shang Xiucai was an upright person, and she didn't like people who were secretive, so if she told him frankly, he would work hard to help.

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

"So that's how it is." 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 about that piece of land from my grandfather. I was afraid I would forget it, so I wrote it down." down."

Shang Xiucai likes anecdotes, and will write down many ancient things he heard, and look through them when he has nothing to do. It's quite interesting to watch.

"The land outside the gatehouse is indeed not a wasteland, but a big house. The stinky water pond that old doctor Wu said is the back garden of that house."

"That was all at the beginning of Dachu. My grandfather said, I don't know why the house caught fire. It burned for several days and nights. People from Shangjia Village and the town went to put out the fire. But the fire was too big to be saved at all. , After a few days, the house burned down and nothing was left. The people watching the house inside were also burned to death."

"Later, a few Taoist nuns visited the ruins. After chanting scriptures there, no one visited the ruins. Over time, it became a place for the townspeople to take out their trash."

"As for who is the owner of that house? Even my grandfather and the others don't know. I only heard that it is a house of a family surnamed Lu in the south. Generally, no one comes to live in it. It is only reserved for the master's family to rest when they go to Jiangnan. .”

The aristocratic families of the previous dynasty not only had many houses, but also built docks, raised private soldiers, and had great power. It was very common to prepare houses for rest in various parts of Dachu.

"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 long been defeated. The owner of the registered land is the Hu family."

"Mr. Hu? Who is this Mr. Hu? Is there an address in the register?"

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

The thread is broken again.

Gu Jinli frowned, recalling the story Shang Xiucai just told, and asked: "Taoist, where did those Taoist girls come from? Do you know which Taoist temple they belong to?!"

Shang Xiucai still shook his head: "I don't know, so many years have passed, and I haven't seen any Taoist priests come to worship in that ruins again. But..."

Shang Xiucai suddenly remembered something: "The old man in the town who pours Yexiang, I heard that his mother was raised by Taoist nuns, so he probably knows the origins of those Taoist nuns."

What a twist!

Gu Jinli immediately asked: "Uncle Shang, do you know where the old man who poured Yexiang lives?"

"I know this. The old man and his wife live in the bamboo forest behind the ruins." Ah Jiu came in with some tea and sighed, "The old man's surname is Mi, and he is also a poor man. He had a son before, but he died of illness. For many years, only the old couple lived together."

Ah Jiu has an out-of-the-box personality, and likes to run to the town when he has nothing to do. After running, he knows about Old Man Mi.

"I know Mi Laoweng and his wife. I often go to that bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots and bring them some food."

"Did our fresh bamboo shoots be dug from the ruined bamboo forest?" Shang Xiucai knew this for the first time, but he ate a lot of fresh bamboo shoots.

Ajiu scratched her head and smiled, "Master, I'm sorry, I didn't dare to tell you the origin of the fresh bamboo shoots because I was afraid that you would find it unlucky."

After all, those ruins were people who walked through water and burned people to death, so most people would be taboo.

With a snap, Shang Xiucai took the book and tapped Ah Jiu on the head lightly: "I would hate this, your master? Since you know old man Mi, take Gu Sanshu and Xiaoyu to find someone." , let’s do it today.”

According to his grandfather, that piece of wasteland is actually very sought after. Many people have asked about it, but they have not found the owner. As time goes by, no one asks anymore.

Now that the Gu family is eyeing that piece of wasteland, if they want to do something, they have to hurry up to avoid accidents.

"Hey, I'm going to prepare the car now, and take Mr. Gu to find Old Man Mi." Ah Jiu ran out to prepare the car.

It wasn't time for school to end before Gu Jin'an, so he didn't follow Third Grandpa and Gu Jinli to find someone, but sent them out of the study yard.

Gu Jinli and the third grandfather left the Shang Mansion, and after waiting at the gate of the mansion for a while, Ah Jiu arrived in a mule cart.

The mule cart was 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. Mi Laoweng's house is deep in the bamboo forest. It is a three and a half house of green bricks, and there are faint traces of smoke on the green bricks.

An old woman was feeding the chickens in the open space in front of the house. When she saw Ah Jiu, she smiled and said, "Young man, have you finished eating the fresh bamboo shoots?"

Mrs. Mi likes Ah Jiu very much. This young man has a conscience. People from nearby often come to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots to eat. None of them give anything, and they all leave after digging.

The younger generation would give them rice noodles for the old couple, and two times they even took two pieces of meat and a jar of meat oil, which was very generous.

Ah Jiu jumped out of the mule cart and said with a smile, "Grandma Mi, I'm not here to dig bamboo shoots today, but I brought two guests here, and I want to ask Old Man Mi something."

"What's the matter? I know everything about the old man. Just ask me." Mrs. Mi said, but she still turned her head and shouted into the room: "Old man, come out quickly, there are guests."

Old man Mi is a night scented man, he has to get up in the middle of the night, and now he is sleeping back into the cage, but he feels light. After Mrs. Mi yelled a few times, he woke up, walked out of the room and asked, "What guest? What do you want to do with the old man?"

Gu Jinli stepped forward, saluted Old Man Mi, and asked, "Grandpa, we want to ask, do you know any Taoist temples with mustache characters and only Taoist nuns?"

Old Man Mi paused, and said, "Are you looking for Lake Cloud Temple?"
