Era of Demons: Choose to revive the white vine at the beginning

Chapter 49
Li Mo drove slowly into the town where his old house was located.

This town is quaint and full of old buildings. It has not been affected by the economic development of surrounding cities. Although the economy is relatively backward, this place is still very good as a tourist. At least the scenery is beautiful and the climate is relatively pleasant.

Qin Fang's family was also a well-known local family back then, and the width of the lintel was bigger than that of the neighbors.The carved beams and painted buildings are very magnificent.There are also two stone lions at the door, full of vigor, and "Qin House" is written in yellow characters on the plaque.

Under Qin Fang's leadership, Li Mo and the others entered Qin Fang's old house.

"Yo, I can't tell, you are still a rich fourth generation!" Li Mo walked around in the courtyard, there are mountains, waters and courtyards, which is not a special feeling.

Qin Fang said, "I haven't been here for many years. My parents have settled in Hangzhou. Since my grandparents left, it has been vacant, but I find someone to maintain it every year. I have not had it for ten years. coming."

Pass through the courtyard and come to a room. In this room, the photos are hung on the gray wall of the side room. The frames of the mirrors have been wiped with a rag, and they are clean and shiny.

The photos are nothing special, just family portraits or something.There are single photos and group photos of my great-grandfather. The photos are very old, black and white, a bit blurry, and part of the four legs of the photos are missing.

Qin Fang led the people to walk around from house to house. This old house was cleaned by his parents all his life, and the valuable things were taken away long ago. Only some old furniture and worthless calligraphy and paintings left that cannot be sold.

Qin Fang pushed open the bedroom door in the backyard, the door shaft rattled, and the voice was harsh, "This was the bedroom of my great-grandfather and great-grandmother at that time."

All that remained in the room was an empty carved bed, a washbasin stand, a rocking chair, a broken bookcase and a picture hanging on the wall.

Si Teng stood in front of the painting hanging on the wall, staring at the painting strangely.

"Is there anything special about this painting?"

The painting depicts a winter scene of the Leifeng Pagoda in the West Lake. The brushwork cannot be said to be brilliant. The Leifeng Pagoda at that time was completely bare. A river bank divided the painting into two parts. The Leifeng Pagoda stood alone at the top, and the identical Leifeng Pagoda at the bottom. The tower is reflected, and a line of words is inscribed on the side.

The white snow is vast, and the afterimages are panicking.The sunset reflects on the water, and the bones float on the peaks.

There is another line of small characters: In the winter of 1946, I took my wife and son to visit the lake and made a play.

Si Teng turned his head and asked Qin Fang, "If I remember correctly, there is a family portrait of your great-grandfather, which was also taken by the West Lake in the winter of 1946. There is a sentence behind the lake with his wife and son: Friends With Bai Ying as my companion, I came here with joy, and returned with joy."

Si Teng's memory is really good, otherwise Li Mo would have forgotten everything.

"Having fun and acting, I must be in a good mood."

"But why are these lines of words accompanied? The vastness, afterimages, and sunsets are not good omens. Even the last sentence, why isn't the bone buried on the peak? It's floating instead?" Qin Fang also looked in front of him. , raised doubts.

Li Mo couldn't understand what was meant in the painting, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He saw a book under a chair beside him, walked over, and pulled it out from under the chair.

"What is this?" Amman asked when he saw the book in Li Mo's hand.

Li Mo opened it to look at the contents, and replied, "This seems to be the family record of Qin Fang's family."

Hearing this, Qin Fang and Si Teng also came over.Handing the brochure in his hand to Si Teng, he asked Qin Fang, "Are you hungry? I just saw that there is a canteen next door. Would you like to buy something to eat?"

"No, I still need to tidy up the room. Let's live here first."

Seeing that Qin Fang refused to leave, Li Mo didn't force him, asked Si Teng for his wallet and left.

"You spend less, you spend all day long."

"Know it!"

After Li Mo left, Si Teng returned his attention to the pamphlet in his hand.The words on it and the words on the painting are very different. They were not written by the same person.

Also, the brochure in his hand is all written in straightforward vernacular. It is not as elegant as the words in the paintings, but the emotions in it seem to come from a woman.

"Is your great-grandmother also literate?"

"In my impression, my great-grandmother was illiterate."

"Look at it."

Si Teng took Qin Fang to read the booklet in his hand, and he was looking in this room to see if he could find some other clues.

"The whole family was waiting for the rice to cook, and my wife and brother came to ask for help several times. I was in a dilemma. Fortunately, Miss Baiying interceded on her behalf, and it was finally turned around. My heart was palpitating and depressed, but fortunately Baiying sent me medicine for the pig. Paper eight knives, wife and uncle especially think it is not enough, people's hearts are like this, if you marry one person, you must marry a family."

Qin Fang read the contents of the booklet, which mentioned the word "Baiying" many times.

"See what's coming?" Si Teng asked.

Before Qin Fang could answer, Anman spoke first and said, "This Miss Bai must be Bai Ying."

"It should be true. It seems that she has a good relationship with my great-grandfather's generation."

Si Teng sat on the chair and said slowly, "What else can you see?"

"Baiying delivers the medicine, is this Baiying a doctor?" Qin Fang asked back.

"You ask me? How do I know?"

"My great-grandmother was exiled to Dana because of the famine. Everyone in the family died and scattered, and she was left alone. Later, she followed my great-grandfather to do business in the east. Where did my brother-in-law and uncle come from? ?" Qin Fang recalled the matter of his parents and him, and told the matter of her great-grandmother.

Anman also accompanied Qin Fang to Dana, and knew why Qin Fang went to Dana, "This is far from what Dana said."

"You're right, look."

Back at the old house, Li Mo held several bottles of water and various snacks and potato chips in his hand.

Seeing that Qin Fang and the two were still discussing, he said casually, "Why do you think so much, can you eat it?"

He took out the water and handed it to Qin Fang and others.

Qin Fang also laughed, they came here to relax this time, not to ask for trouble.

"That's right. The boat goes straight when it reaches the bridge. It's useless to think so much. You haven't eaten yet. I remember there is a very good restaurant nearby. It's an old brand. I wonder if it's still there?"

Qin Fang took the water from Li Mo and saw the milk tea in Si Teng's hand, "Do you treat it differently?"

"My wife must drink well, so you can drink as much as you can, and it's good if you can drink." Li Mo gave Qin Fang a white look, who didn't go with him just now.

"I don't know how to be ashamed!" Qin Fang, who had nothing to say, put down his words harshly, and went out to find that restaurant.

The food in this restaurant is really good. I heard that my ancestor was the imperial chef in the palace, and there is also a plaque bestowed by the emperor.

After a simple meal, the few of them went back to the old house and slept for the night.
