Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 11 Hot Spring Villa

What Lin Xiaoxiao is interested in is the hot spring villa.

Before Lin Xiaoxiao crossed over, she lived in the north with heating. When she came to such a backward place as Wuzhang Village, the most basic food and clothing became a big problem.

Especially the cold at night made her wear warm clothes to sleep at night, and the sleeping experience was quite uncomfortable.

The hot spring villa occupies the word villa, so it is probably not a land without owner.

So Lin Xiaoxiao decided to find someone to inquire about the situation before taking action.

Today is another sunny day.

After lunch, everyone was basking in the sun in the yard.

The small courtyard of the Zhang family was full of people.The Zhang family was there, as were the village chief and the elders.

This time, Lin Xiaoxiao specially brought them all here.

Lin Xiaoxiao cut to the chase and asked a question: "Grandpa the village chief, fellow village elders, do you know what's going on at the hot spring villa in the west of the village?"

The village elder with his arms folded looked uncertainly at the village head, and asked in his eyes, "Hot spring villa? The village on the west side of the village? Is it the abandoned village?"

The village chief seemed to understand the situation better, and answered Lin Xiaoxiao with a nod of his head: "There is only one abandoned hot spring village around our village, and that's where the mountain girl should be asking."

"Abandoned?" Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect this to happen, and asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"

The village chief frowned and began to recall: "This is a long story. I remember that the last time the owner of the villa came here was 40 years ago. My family ancestor was once a guest of the owner's family. My family also settled in Wuzhang Village at that time. "

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect a question to lead to the origin of the village chief's grandfather.

The owner of the hot spring villa is surnamed Wen, and he was an official worshiping doctor Hu Guoshang back then.The grandfather of the village chief was a follower of Dr. Wen's family. He was given the surname Wen and the name Laoshu.

More than 40 years ago, Dr. Wen's family occasionally came to live in the hot spring villa for a period of time, and Uncle Wen often accompanied him to serve them.Later, Uncle Wen got old, and Doctor Wen ordered him to settle down in Wuzhang Village and take care of the villa by the way.

The village chief's name is Wen Sheng, which was given by a counselor next to Dr. Wen.At that time, he was only five or six years old, and he didn't remember much. He didn't have much memory about Dr. Wen.What happened later, Wen Sheng mainly heard from his grandfather and father.

A few years after Uncle Wen's family settled in Wuzhang Village, something happened to Dr. Wen in the capital.

I don't know the details, but the Wen family never came to the hot spring villa again, but there was no new owner to take over the villa.

In the memory of the village head, from Wuzhang Village to the capital, it would take five full days to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

In this era of backward transportation, without horses and other vehicles, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to walk that far on foot, especially in the freezing winter.

It is inevitable that regional information will be blocked due to inconvenient transportation.

In the first few years, Uncle Wen often took his children and grandchildren to the hot spring villa to do cleaning.

Later, Uncle Wen passed away, and Wen Sheng's father gradually reduced the number of visits to the villa because he was busy with his own livelihood.

Later, when Wen Sheng inherited the family business, he completely gave up the management of the villa.

The main family has not been here for more than 40 years, and the support to Wen Sheng's family has also been cut off for more than 40 years. No one can blame Wen Sheng's family for not fulfilling their responsibilities to the villa.

"No one has been here for more than 40 years? Didn't you go to the city to inquire about the news?"

"Grandfather and father once went to the county seat, and they only came back after going there for more than a month. They only found out that Dr. Wen had passed away. The Patriarch who succeeded the Wen family could not be reused by the head of the country. The Wen family has declined and can't take care of here."

In this case, the hot spring villa is almost a land without owner.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought about the possible consequences of her dove occupying the magpie's nest.

The village chief probably saw Lin Xiaoxiao's intentions, and asked, "Is the mountain girl interested in the villa?"

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't hide it, and said, "I want to go over there to have a look. If people can still live there, I want to live there. If the master's house comes, I can use some things as compensation. The village chief thinks Is it possible?"

The village chief pondered for a while before saying: "I haven't been here for more than 40 years, and I probably won't come in the future. Shannv lives there, and her status is worthy. It's just that there has been no popularity there for many years. I wonder if I can still live there?" "

Lin Xiaoxiao said: "If possible, I want to go and have a look."

The village head made a final decision: "That's okay, it's too late today, let's go and have a look tomorrow morning."

The next day was another sunny day with no wind.It's okay to go out in this kind of weather, it won't be too cold to be unbearable.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought it was the village chief who was waiting for a few old people to accompany her, but when she opened the door, she found that almost everyone in the village had been mobilized.

Everyone has been staying at home for a long time in winter, and it is rare to have the opportunity to go out for a stroll.The villagers also carried various tools on their backs, and Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes became hot when she saw it.

"It's a long journey, have you ever eaten?"

"I've used it. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for dinner at noon today, so everyone will eat the meal first, so that we don't have to rush back in the morning."

"Shannv, let everyone go with me."

Facing the enthusiasm of the villagers, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't refuse, so a group of people went to the hot spring villa in the west like this.

The heavy snow of the past few days has melted under the continuous sunshine, and the originally wet and soft land has become frozen soil due to the low temperature at night.This path is easier than imagined.

Go out five or six miles along the road from the village to the city, then enter the trail and walk less than two miles to the Hot Spring Villa.

For such a distance, if Lin Xiaoxiao was alone, it would take about two quarters of an hour to get there, but it took nearly an hour to walk with the villagers.

There is still a big gap between the physical fitness of the villagers and Lin Xiaoxiao.

In addition, the main road out of the city can still be walked, and the Erlidi at the end of the trail is almost dead because no one has walked it for too long. The villagers can only clear the road while walking.

What does a villa that no one has lived in for decades look like?

Before Lin Xiaoxiao came here, she had imagined many times, and she was worried that the house in the villa might have rotted and collapsed. She was relieved after seeing it with her own eyes.

The houses in the hot spring villa are mainly made of stone, supplemented by bricks and tiles, and they have not been damaged for more than 40 years.

What surprised Lin Xiaoxiao the most was that a stone wall was built around the hot spring villa, which increased the safety of the villa.

More than 40 years ago, the doctor Wenshang should have power and money, and invested a lot in the construction of the hot spring villa.

Because it is winter, there are not many weeds, insects and ants.But after all, it has not been maintained for decades, and the entire villa needs to be cleaned up.

The village chief knows better than Lin Xiaoxiao when it comes to repairing the villa.Under his command, the villagers performed their duties and acted in an orderly manner.

Lin Xiaoxiao paid more attention to the condition of the hot spring.

There is only one hot spring pool, and the spring eye is blocked by debris.

Fortunately, the dead branches and rotten leaves are easy to clean up, thank God there are no plastic bags, mineral water bottles and the like.

The spring can still produce water after cleaning.The water temperature is about [-] degrees, which is just right for taking a bath.

Lin Xiaoxiao hasn't really taken a bath for several days, she can't wait to jump into the pool and take a good bath.
