Due to the discovery of the gray brain virus, effective drugs to suppress the virus were also invented. Father Xia's encephalopathy is gradually getting better, but the shadow in his dream is still there. In order not to harm Xia Wenyuan's ontological consciousness, neither Aoki nor Crow could really kill the shadow.

This time, Aoki brought the orange cat soundly.

He still remembered that the parasitic consciousness once invaded Yao Jingjing's mother's brain, but when the white cat Ruxue who guarded Yao's mother appeared, the parasitic consciousness disappeared. Mother Yao didn't understand the truth of the matter, and couldn't tell whether the parasitic consciousness was due to the discovery of Ruxue's existence and gave up the invasion, or something else happened.

Although Sound Ran listened to Aoki and Crow very much, her consciousness, Ruxue, did not remember what happened in Yao's mother's brain, because the consciousness itself had no memory, and she could not tell what happened at that time. what.

So Qing Mu brought Ruxue this time, which is now sound. He wanted to try, bring Ruxue into Xia Wenyuan's dream, and face the invading shadow, what would happen.

If Ruxue can really eliminate the accompanying consciousness without damaging the ontological consciousness, on the one hand, it can completely rescue Father Xia, on the other hand, is it possible to find some weaknesses in the parasitic consciousness.

Xia Wenyuan was very happy to see Aoki. The entire Xia family knew that Aoki had saved the old man, so they respected and admired him. Every time he came to the door, he received more courtesy than the last time.

After a few words of greeting, Aoki asked about the past Sangshuying and Wu Zhonghua's family.

"Sangshuying and Huajia... That's a long time!" Xia Wenyuan narrowed his eyes, trying to recall the past, "I was born during the first Songhu Battle in 1932, and the fire in Sangshuying happened in 1932. During the Second Songhu Battle in 1937, I was only eight years old at that time. I lived a long time, and I can’t remember many things when I was a child. Only the fire at the Sangshuying Hua Family Mansion is still fresh in my memory. ."

"At that time, it is not an exaggeration for the Hua family to say that it was a huge wealth in Wuzhong. As for our Xia family, it was far worse than them. The reason why there are rumors that the Nanzhen Xia family and the Sangshuying Hua family are both famous. Things have happened after the 1990s. It’s the old man. At that time, I gained some fame in the business field, and those who have good deeds studied the details of the three generations of our ancestors and described us as a rich family with the same fame as the Chinese family."

Xia Wenyuan laughed, "My father is also in the silk business, and he has a small family background, but compared with the Hua family, it is insignificant and incomparable. However, my father was radical in his thinking at that time, and he donated money and material to resist several times. Foreign insults, personally escorted supplies to the front line condolences to the soldiers, so the reputation is somewhat. Later, my father told me many times that the Chinese father is the real mainstay of the country. The career he has done is my father Wan. It's not as good as one. It's a pity that a big fire burned the big family and left nothing."

"At that time, the Sangshuying Huazhuang House was called Sangyuan, and it occupies a large area. It is equivalent to the Liuyuan, Yiyuan, and Quyuan as Wuzhong Famous Gardens. I followed my father when I was a child, but it was too young at that time. I can’t remember clearly. I just remember being naughty, sneaking into the backyard, meeting a few children from the Hua family, and playing together and forgetting the time. My father gave me a good look."

"Later, the mulberry garden fire broke out. A big fire ignited for two days. Even the people in our Nanzhen rushed to help put out the fire, but we were not able to save it. The Shilin people at that time beat their chests and said that Wuzhong was the oldest The garden has never been seen again! Only my father sighed, the mulberry garden burst into flames, the Chinese family did not leave a single bit, and the ancient style of the Wuzhong family has been lost since then!"

"I heard that the old man of the Chinese family lighted the fire himself?" Aoki asked.

Xia Wenyuan thoughtfully said: "That's what I said. At that time, Songhu was fighting fiercely, and the government invested more than 700,000 soldiers. The people's enthusiasm for resisting the Japanese was soaring. They all thought that with China's human and material resources, there is no reason for it. But my father But he was not optimistic. He said that Songhu and Ma Pingchuan had no risk to defend and should not have been a place for war. However, according to the public opinion at the time, China and Japan had to fight and chose Songhu. In order to seek support from Europe and the United States. The defeat is inevitable. If Songhu is defeated, the river will be left at the gate of the cave. How can Wu Zhong defend it?"

"My father saw this layer, how could the old man of the Chinese family fail to see it? I heard that he had already dispersed his Wanguan family wealth, or donated it to the government, or donated it to the school. Just before the fire, he He also dismissed the child servant protégé, so it is very possible that he put the fire on himself. As for the reason, I am afraid that only he himself knows."

Aoki asked, "Do you know why the Japanese army looked for that old mulberry tree?"

Xia Wenyuan shook his head and said: "The Japanese army entered and occupied Wuzhong at the end of March 7th. They did go to Sangshu Camp, but I don’t know if they were looking for mulberry as you said. I think they are more likely to go to the Chinese family, because The Japanese also went to our South Town and looked for my father. They need to find someone who has a good face in Wu Zhong to set up a maintenance committee to promote their rule."

Aoki nodded, thinking that Xia Wenyuan made sense, but he didn't think that the lifelong flower was all about the story. At least, the old willow tree was transplanted from another place, and there should be the roots of the old mulberry tree underneath. it is true.

"Do you remember that old mulberry tree?"

"Of course I remember!" Xia Wenyuan said, "That tree is planted in the front yard where the mulberry garden enters. The ordinary mulberry tree, even if the tree is a hundred thousand years old, has a trunk of no more than one circumference. At most two people hug each other. The trunk of a mulberry tree needs three or four people to hug it. The tree is more than ten feet high, with luxuriant branches and leaves, covering the sky. It is said that the incense of the Chinese family has continued for hundreds of years, and this is the blessing of this sacred tree. There is a legend that eating the mulberry on this tree can cure diseases and prolong the year. When the fruit is ripe in June and July every year, the Hua family will pick the mulberry and distribute it to the children in the village. I also went to collect it when I was a child. It’s been lively, and I have eaten a few mulberry fruits."

Aoki asked again: "I heard that after the old mulberry was burned to death, the mulberry trees in the surrounding area were all dead?"

Xia Wenyuan laughed and said: "This is mostly misrepresentation. There is no truth to the death of a tree and the death of a tree! That piece of mulberry field and sangnong belong to the Chinese family~lightnovelpub.net~The Chinese family fell down. Those mulberry farmers lost their support. In the era of wars, mulberry trees could not be eaten as food, so many mulberry farmers cut down the mulberry trees and planted them for food. Over time, it was passed down to the version you mentioned."

Aoki suddenly remembered that Bishenghua had listened to his grandfather's words, and what her grandfather said may not be true, after all, it happened in her grandfather's time. What's more, there are some things, even if they know it, they are often willing to believe in the miraculous version. From this point of view, Xia Wenyuan's statement is more credible.

"It looks like it's not as magical as the legend!" Qing Mu sighed.

Xia Wenyuan said, "That's not necessarily. I have seen something with my own eyes and remembered it to this day. After the mulberry field fire, crows flew from nowhere in the sky in the mulberry camp. They wandered in the sky and cried every day. On the willow tree. Well, as far as I know, the willow tree was moved over and planted on the original old mulberry tree. Legend has it that there is an old crow’s nest on the old mulberry tree, and the crows that flew out of that nest for thousands of years There are countless. I remember that when I was a kid, I don’t know who even made up a nursery rhyme and it was circulated among our children. I can’t remember it now. It’s like this--

The soil on the ground is Jiao Baba; the bird in the sky is black and heavy. Thousand-year tree, Thousand-year crow, a hundred-year-old man. The most ruthless water and fire, the children and grandchildren return home without a home. ..."
