Chapter 008 The First Snow

The front hall was already full of people. Si Weiqi sat on the chair on the left hand side directly above, but the chair on the right was empty. Lin Kun went in and took a look. There were two rows of huanghuali Taishi chairs on the left and right. There was a high coffee table between the two chairs. The one on the left was the seventh uncle, followed by the long-haired uncle and several other Yuling elders. The one on the right was Su. The curtain is covered, and Song Beike and others are sitting behind them. Chen Ziyue, Sister Fo, Cheng Yiyun and others could only stand at the back and were not allowed to sit down.

After Xu Qian served a cup of tea to everyone present, Si Weiqi said, "Today, I have summoned all the seniors to come here. I don't need to introduce the matter any more. This case is the matter of Aunt Ning." The people behind this have been implicated and have been planning for many years. In order to achieve their ulterior motives, they have always been secretly against me and obstructed me."

"At first, a volume of Yuling's genealogy collected in the Nanjing Museum was stolen. I sent Lin Kun and Xiaoqian to investigate the matter, and then they followed the clues and found out that the middleman who ostensibly contacted Zhao Dameng for Aunt Ning was actually working for Ye Ye at the same time. The story of Heping and Ou Zhi, who works behind the scenes, has so many twists and turns that no one will believe it unless they see it with their own eyes."

After hearing this, Su Muzhe said, "Miss Si, the person with ulterior motives behind this has caused great chaos in the world. For the current plan, we can only dig him out quickly and rectify the law on the spot to calm the turmoil."

"Senior Su is right, but there are two important things for our actions this time."

"Miss Si, please speak."

"First, Professor Ye Heping disappeared. He is the person who knows the truth the most besides Ou Zhi. His disappearance was precisely because he discovered Ou Zhi's double agent, so he acted alone. Although we are still not sure whether Professor Ye is there Where, but various signs indicate that he should be an important factor in motivating the people behind the scenes to commit suicide. If we want to dig out the real culprit, we must first find Ye Heping."

After hearing this, Su Muzhe was suffocating in his heart. He slapped the table and said, "Everyone, it's not me, Su Muzhe, who is here to stir up trouble. This kind of peace is indeed unreasonable. He has done what he did to us all these years." It’s okay to be a powerful person, but now he has raised his hand to Yuling again. I think he brought it all on himself.”

When Luo Jianfen heard this, he immediately became unhappy and retorted, "Senior Su, I respect you as a senior, but please be polite when you speak. What does it mean to bring the blame on yourself? The professor has never criticized you for moving mountains and digging for gold." No one of the two factions had any conflict with Yu Ling. Everyone got what they wanted and lived in peace with each other. Professor Ye was not completely honest about this matter beforehand. It was clearly Ou Zhi who deliberately concealed it from him, which made Professor Ye Taking the risk to search for clues alone, speaking of which, Professor Ye also considered our two families and did not want people with ulterior motives to realize his conspiracy, so he..."

Si Weiqi waved her hand, motioning for them to sit down, nodded and said, "What Teacher Luo said is exactly what I want to say. Professor Ye did not hesitate to take the risk to stop it. This shows that he is a friend rather than an enemy to us. But this also just shows that Professor Ye knows exactly what the other party is going to do, otherwise he would not have thought of the important clues immediately, and the other party would not act in a hurry."

Song Beike touched his goatee and said, "Miss Si's analysis is reasonable. I have also thought of this. Heping indeed knows much more than us, and now it seems that this commotion is like The young couple are fooling around there, and I’m wondering if the hidden story behind this is still related to their own family?”

"What do you mean?" Luo Jianfen couldn't sit still after hearing this.

"Hey, don't worry. This old man is just making random guesses. Don't you want to take it seriously?" Song Beike said leisurely while drinking tea.

"Okay, okay, Song Guiyan, you old fool, don't say these useless things." Su Muzhe choked beside him.

"The second thing is a more unexpected thing. All the seniors who are doing this should be aware of the incident that happened in 1951. I just got the exact news. I am afraid that the real purpose of the person behind it is to rush into the country. Go for that matter."

As soon as Si Weiqi said this, the old people present were in an uproar. Su Muzhe and Song Beike looked at each other in surprise and said, "Miss Si, if this is true, then..."

"Don't worry too much. The dust has long since settled. I think the person behind this is the person who knew about the incident back then. The evil intention is still there and he is still thinking about resurrecting it."

"Hmph, what a bold maniac. After so many years, he still hasn't died yet. This time it's just right. I took advantage of the fact that I still had breath to kill him early and send him back to the west to eliminate future troubles."

I had seen the word 1951 in Ou Zhi's letter, but I didn't know what it meant. At this time, when Si Weiqi said 1951, the eyes of Su Muzhe and others became even more intense. It's strange. Something very important must have happened that year. It seems that the hidden story behind it is becoming more and more confusing.

That night, people from all walks of life were repairing Yuling. Since it was difficult to go to the tomb with a large group of people, but they had to be wary of an ambush. Therefore, Si Weiqi arranged for Su Muzhe to lead a large group of people to coordinate outside. At the same time, they continued to track down clues and arranged The people of Xiling and Faqiu were under the control of several elders of Yuling. With the tomb slope as the center and the radius to Yuling and the ancient city of Shaoxing respectively, they formed three iron barrel arrays and fortified them layer by layer.

The next day, Si Weiqi personally led a small team to Zhongxie.

The team members happen to be the new generation leaders of Faqiu, Mountain Moving and Xiling, Cheng Yiyun, Chen Ziyue and Sister Fo. I didn’t want Chen Ziyue to accompany me, but Chen Ziyue begged Su Muzhe hard, and Su Muzhe was eager to love his disciples, so he agreed. She represented Moving Shanmen, and I had no reason to stop her.

Leaving Yuling and getting on the highway, we were speechless all the way. Just like that, we each stared out the window, worried. Or close your eyes and sleep, looking at those mountains, those clouds, and those days. The scenery slowly changes, the mountains are getting higher and higher, the roads are getting narrower and narrower, and every time you wake up, you will find that the surrounding scenery is getting more and more wild.

The car was driving on the edge of the winding mountain road, and the next step was the cliff. The view in front was excellent. Looking at the green mountain peaks in front, as well as the patches of bamboo forests, gradually overlapping, separated by streams, in the middle In a valley covered by clouds and mist, a small village will appear. Perhaps only nature can create such a different but matching scenery. Everything is shrouded in clouds and mist, and it is so beautiful that it makes people shiver.

"Lin Kun, where exactly is this tomb?" Chen Ziyue asked.

"It's an ancient and mysterious village. I've only heard of it, but never seen it." I looked out the window and continued, "I only know that it is as mysterious as Yuling Village in Yuling. It even says It is more mysterious than Yuling Village, and for thousands of years, few people have gone there."

"That's really mysterious." Chen Ziyue nodded.

"Forget it, don't ask. I only know so much. Anyway, we will see its true face in Lushan soon..."

"Master Ciao, if you don't know, you can ask me. I come here often." Xu Qian smiled at me.

"Really?" I asked in surprise, "Then tell me quickly?"

"It's a long story. I lived in Zhongxie when I was a child."

I actually don’t know much about Xu Qian’s life, and this is the first time I heard her talk about it. Although Xu Qian is familiar with people in Yuling Village, she has no relatives there. It turns out that Xu Qian is a descendant of Yuling from Zhongxie, which is really unexpected.

"Sister Qian, are we sending you back to your parents' home today?" Lin Kun said with a smile.

"It's a pity that I moved out when I was very young. I come back occasionally every year to visit. I didn't expect to come back this time..." As she said that, Xu Qian became a little sad.

At this time, snowflakes were falling outside the car window.

The first snow of the year came without warning. When it started to snow, it was accompanied by light rain. First there were small snowflakes, fluttering gently like catkins. Then it went down harder and harder, one after another. Soon only goose feather-like snowflakes were seen falling from the cloud-covered sky, and the ground turned white for a while.

"It's snowing." Xu Qian's eyes were filled with sparkling light. "I still remember that when I came out from home that day, it was also such a winter. It was snowing and the sky was gray. On the mountain road, I looked at the white jade The snowflakes fell down, and the snowflakes were like beautiful jade-colored butterflies, dancing as if they were intoxicated."

"Sister Qian, do you think of unhappy past events?"

"No, I'm not unhappy, because I know that I left home to go outside the mountains and see more customs and customs. I was very happy that day. I just thought of my childhood and realized that time really flies by. So fast."

The snowflakes in front of me were as naughty as butterflies, and clusters of snow fell down, like countless torn cotton balls rolling down from the sky. Xu Qian stretched out her hand, and small crystal snowflakes fell on the palm of her hand. It looked transparent, and slowly, it melted.

"Back then, this place was really deep mountains and old forests. It's much better now than it was then." Xu Qian said.

"No wonder I always feel that you have an innate optimism. A child from the mountains is naturally cheerful."

I saw only a vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth, with snowflakes falling from the sky in droves. It was like a white tent was pulled up all around, and the earth immediately became covered with silver.

There are snowflakes floating in the air, like white feathers, and like blown pear petals, scattered. A heavy snowfall suddenly made the mountain forest enter winter. Accompanied by the dim yellow car lights, snowflakes were flying all over the sky and falling on the already narrow mountain road. The road surface became increasingly slippery, and the team had to slow down.

Gradually, a mountain village appeared at the foot of the mountain. Looking down from the high mountain road, the mountain village was dotted with light and seemed particularly quiet under the heavy sky. Only the snowflakes could be heard falling continuously, and the occasional creaking sound and the withered trees could be heard. The branches were broken by the weight of snow.

There is the legendary Zhongxie Ancient Village.

Large swaths of snowflakes fell from the dim sky. I knew that a real journey was about to begin.
