Wild adventure: I live broadcast in the deep mountains and old forests

"Is this really your mother's dowry?" After returning home, Bai Hua took out the jade bracelet, placed it on the table, and said to Shen Wanxin.

Shen Wanxin hurriedly came to the bracelet, stared at it again and again, and said with certainty: "This is my mother's dowry. Look, there is a Yun character inside this bracelet. The jade ornaments in my mother's dowry are all My grandfather specially ordered them to be made, and all the jade ornaments were engraved with my mother's nickname, and my mother's nickname was Yun Niang."

After hearing this, Baihua looked carefully at the inside of the jade bracelet. Sure enough, there was a small "Yun" character on the inside.

"It seems that this is really your mother's dowry." Baihua nodded and said.

"Yes, that's right." Shen Wanxin's voice was a little sad: "My mother's dowry was leaked. I think my family must not have survived the disaster."

Bai Hua pursed her lips and said after a while: "Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe there was some other reason. You know, it was so chaotic back then, maybe it was too late to get it in a hurry."

"Who knows." Shen Wanxin did not hold out hope: "I hope."

"We'll go to your hometown tomorrow. Let's inquire about it first when we get there." This time Bai Hua went out with the intention of going to Shen Wanxin's hometown - Meihua Town.

Meihua Town is a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. The old house of the Shen family was located in this town. It was one of the most wealthy homes in the south of the Yangtze River.

From Anshi to Meihua Town, you need to transfer two or three times. By the time Baihua arrived at Meihua Town, it was already noon on the third day.

Meihua Town is not a tourist town, and there are not many tourists here on weekdays, but Meihua Town is a typical Jiangnan town, with quaint houses with black tiles and white walls, narrow and flat bluestone roads, and The river in the town, with its stone bridges spanning the river, exudes comfort and tranquility everywhere.

Looking at the sausages hanging under the eaves of many houses, Shen Wanxin recalled: "I remember that my mother would ask the servants to make a lot of sausages every year and hang them under the eaves outside the kitchen. When I was a child, my third brother was the naughtiest. He doesn’t like to read, but he likes to go into the kitchen and learn to cook from the cook, and he especially likes to practice on his own. My mother was afraid that he would get burned, so she strictly prohibited him, and the cook refused to let him get angry. As a result, one time, he When it was getting late and no one was in the kitchen, he took me to pick the sausages outside the kitchen and said he would make Yangzhou fried rice for me. As a result, he almost burned down the kitchen that time, and my mother was so angry that she swung a big They chased him all over the yard and beat him with sticks.”

After hearing this, Baihua couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled: "Your third brother is really naughty."

"That's right." Shen Wanxin said with a smile: "Among my three brothers, the third brother is the most naughty, but he is also the smartest. Don't think he doesn't like to study. When I grow up, my family's business will be done by me. I am helping my father handle it, but my eldest and second brothers are both nerds and have no interest in doing business."

At this point, Shen Wanxin's voice became lowered: "But, in the end, I was the one who harmed them."

Baihua hurriedly comforted him: "Don't think so much, let's go and check the situation first."

"Ah."

After finding a hotel and settling in, Baihua, under Shen Wanxin's guidance, went to the place where the Shen family's old residence was.

However, when we arrived at the place, what we saw was not the large house with red walls and green tiles described by Shen Wanxin, but a flower garden. It was already late autumn and early winter. The flowers in the flower garden were basically withered, except for some green tiles. The cypress is also dotted with a little green.

"My house... is gone..." Shen Wanxin looked at the scene in front of her with some disbelief. She was actually mentally prepared. She didn't let her go back then, and she probably wouldn't let her family go either, but she Unexpectedly, now even the Shen family’s house is gone!

"Don't worry, let me ask around first." Baihua didn't expect to see this scene. She looked around and saw a woman coming over with a wooden basin filled with clothes, so she hurriedly He stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, I want to ask you something." The woman looked at Bai Hua, then smiled and said, "Hey, the little girl is not from here."

Baihua smiled and said, "I'm here to look for someone."

"Who are you looking for?" The woman said, "Is it someone from around here? If you are from around here, I am familiar with it. Just tell me your name and I will know which family it is from."

"That's it." Bai Hua said hurriedly: "I was entrusted by my friend to come here to find the descendants of the Shen family. However, when I came here according to the address, I found that the place that was originally said to be a house had become this flower garden. I want to ask, do you know where the Shen family members have gone?"

"The woman saw Bai Hua pointing at the flower garden and couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Are you looking for someone from the Shen family? "

"Yes." Baihua nodded quickly.

The woman sighed: "This Shen family has been deserted for a long time."

"Ah!" Baihua looked surprised.

The woman said: "I also heard my grandma say it when I was a child. The place where this flower garden is located used to be a family named Shen. It is said that it was a wealthy family. When the master of the Shen family welcomed the bride, let alone the Shen family. After several days of running water mats, I don’t know how much money was spread out. Even the daughter-in-law who married into the Shen family had a dowry of more than a hundred dollars. Oops, it is said that it covered several streets. When the dowry was displayed, This end has already entered the house, and the end of the team can’t be seen over there.”

Shen Wanxin said to Bai Hua, "She is talking about my mother. When my mother married my father, her Shili Hongzhuang was quite shocking."

Bai Hua nodded and asked the woman: "What happened next? Where are the Shen family members? Why did this house disappear?"

"Hey, what can we do? Everyone in the Shen family is dead. Even the house has been burned to the ground." The woman said, "I heard it's terrible. It is said that the fire started in the middle of the night. That Shen No one in the family escaped, and when they were discovered, it was too late to save them. Later, no houses were built on this land, so it was turned into a flower garden. It is said that the wife of the Shen family was the most charitable. , helped many poor people, so in order to express gratitude for the kindness of the Shen family, this area was built into a flower garden. It is said that the flowers planted back then were Mrs. Shen's favorite flowers, what are they called?"

The woman thought about it carefully, but couldn't remember it for a moment, so she smiled and said: "Look at my memory, I didn't remember it. Hey, these are all stories I heard when I was a child."

Shen Wanxin said softly to Bai Hua: "Iris, it's the iris flower. My mother's favorite is the iris flower."

"Is there really no one in the Shen family?" Bai Hua asked hurriedly.

"Hey, I don't know if this is completely gone. I heard it from my grandma when I was a kid. Why don't you ask the gardener of this garden?"

Baihua asked in surprise: "Is there a dedicated gardener for this flower garden?"

She thought it had become a public garden now.
