Children and grandchildren return home
Qingmu whispered this sentence silently, inexplicably remembering the first day when he came to Liuying lane.
Xia Wen is far from being able to tell more stories about mulberry camp and Hua family because it has been too long. Xia Wenyuan was only a child at that time, but now he is an old man.
Memory is like winter snow, floating and dancing in the wind, stacked on the ground, looks thick, but the sun turns into water and disappears. It will be another heavy snow next year. Year after year, only some beautiful and vague impressions were left of the snow when I was a child.
Aoki feels different about memory. His memory is not like melted snow, but frozen ice. The melted snow has no trace, and the trace is also light. The frozen ice is very dignified. The thick ice is wrapped in a fuzzy shadow, which tells you that there is something in it, but you can't see what's in it.
Xia Wenyuan suggested Aoki to check the county chronicles of Wuzhong. A big family like the Hua family has operated in Wuzhong for at least hundreds of years. It is impossible that there are no records in the county chronicles of previous dynasties. However, the history of Wuzhong is very complex. The county chronicles have been lost and edited several times. It is too difficult to find the content from the vast and chaotic versions.
Aoki has his own way. He turns on his mobile phone and enters a line in the ghost file: help me find out if there are mulberry garden, mulberry camp and Huajia in Wuzhong County chronicles.
He doesn't know what mechanism ghost files use to contact and wake up ghosts on the Internet. It's probably something like a virus that will send information to the server in the basement of meiwang experimental building. Of course, it is also possible that those strange mechanical consciousness on the Internet are transmitting messages to each other.
If it is the latter, it shows that the Internet is not only a super brain with consciousness, but also a social structure. It's a little scary to think about it.
County chronicles are generally not put on the network. Even if they are available, they are all PDF versions. It is very difficult to access them, but what is difficult for human beings is not a thing for computers.
After only a moment, the ghost sent back a message, all of which were the pictures of the traditional vertical photocopy version. In addition to intercepting the content page, it also framed the keywords, and intercepted the cover of the version:
1. Pingjiang chronicle Wanli edition 40 volumes of people Chronicles: Pingjiang people sang Yun, the word Lin Xi, after Tang sang Daomao, good Taiyi dunjia, seclusion, Shizong can't call it out, live on the left side of the river, plant mulberry all over, raise silkworms for pleasure, call the mulberry garden, and the villagers are rich.
2. Wu Zhi Qianlong's 32 volume chronicles of scenery: among the best silk products, only the red silk reeled by Hua mulberry garden is better than that produced by the weaving house. Or it is said that wild silkworm is fed with human blood, so its silk is red and like blood, and people dare not dress
3. Wu county annals of the Republic of China Edition Volume 12 strange news annals: there are mulberry trees in the mulberry garden, which are more than ten feet high. Their mulberries are ripe at the age of three. They can cure children's diseases. They live in giant black, like a falcon, and eat people's souls at night. No one dares to come near them
……
Aoki looks at it and feels a little strange. The first one is like the writing of historical records, but it's clearly surnamed Hua. Living in mulberry garden, how can it become surnamed sang? The latter two are more like stories about gods and monsters. I feel like reading the notes of weicaotang.
He took his cell phone to Xia Wenyuan.
Xia Wenyuan put on his glasses and asked, "that's all?"
He didn't ask Aoki how he found out the relevant contents in the county chronicles in such a short time. With the help of computers, experts studying local chronicles may not be able to find what they want so quickly and accurately. In his eyes, Aoki is a magical man, many times better than those experts.
"That's all."
Aoki also felt that the content was a little less, but he also did not doubt the ability of the ghost. Although the county chronicles are numerous and complicated, and it is extremely troublesome to check by manpower, this amount of information is really nothing for computers, not to mention a conscious Internet.
Xia Wenyuan thought for a moment and said, "that's a little strange. It's reasonable to say that with the scale and age of the mulberry garden, there can't be only such a few words! Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless all the things I knew when I was a child are fake, but that's incredible!" Xia Wenyuan shook his head as he said, "there's another possibility that the people of the Chinese family stepped in when compiling the county chronicles of the past dynasties."
"Step in? Why did the Chinese family do this?" Aoki asked.
"If the wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Just like now, if I can, I don't want the Xia family to be exposed to the media every day. Unfortunately, I can't do it!" Xia Wenyuan sighed.
Aoki said, "in those days, the wealth and energy of Huajia were greater than you are now?"
"Times are different, so it's not easy to compare." Xia Wenyuan nodded. "But with the system of that era, it's not difficult to intervene in the compilation of county chronicles. The difficulty is that from the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, there are dozens of emperors in three dynasties. This is not what ordinary people can do. The privacy of the emperor's family can be turned upside down after time, not to mention the people? And..."
Xia Wenyuan paused slightly, "I always think the fire was very strange."
Aoki asked, "what's a strange method?"
Xia Wenyuan said: "a large family that has been inherited for generations, with brothers, collateral branches, relatives, teachers and friends, and old friends all over the world. I'm afraid it's more complicated than the root system of the thousand year old mulberry. How can it burn without a trace?"
Aoki has always felt strange, not to mention the large family of the Hua family, which is an ordinary family with a slightly larger population. It is not easy to gather together and burn it clean.
"But didn't you see the fire with your own eyes? It's impossible to cheat."
"It's not true." Xia Wenyuan shook his head gently, "but think about it carefully. After the mulberry fire, the war of resistance against Japan began. Not only China, but the whole world experienced an unprecedented war. After that, the war continued and the havoc continued. From the perspective of opportunity, it's inevitable to make people think about it. It's suspected of avoiding the disaster of war and getting rid of the shell of golden cicadas."
Aoki thought Xia Wenyuan had a point. He also thought of the "Shantai's skill of hiding from the enemy after Tang sangdaomao" contained in the county annals. Do these people really have the ability to predict and know the great turmoil in the next few decades, so they use fire to avoid disaster?
Speaking of foresight, Aoki remembered that he was trapped in zero dimensional space in Zhao Pengcheng's dream and almost couldn't get out. At that time, Zhao Pengcheng almost experienced a complete life. If Aoki is trapped forever, in theory, the life Zhao Pengcheng experienced is the real history of the world in the future.
But Aoki came out with the help of the crow, which Zhao Pengcheng didn't expect. Because the time in the zero dimensional space will not pass, the moment Aoki came out, the time returned to the moment before he was trapped, and Zhao Pengcheng was also pulled back. However, the experience of that life remained in Zhao Pengcheng's memory, just like having a lucid dream.
Aoki sees things in the coming decades from Zhao Pengcheng's dream. Isn't it a kind of foresight? If he does not make any efforts, but lives away from the world, then the future world is probably what Zhao Pengcheng experienced!
So that's why he had to go to the South Pacific. He must change all this, even if only to prevent his lifelong flowers from becoming what Zhao Pengcheng saw.
