Chapter 8 Old House

Zhuang Rui's feelings for the old house are very complicated. In his vague memory, his father's image is linked to the old house. The memory before the age of five is beautiful. He snuggled in his father's arms, ate the dates from the jujube tree in the yard of the old house, and listened to his father's Anders Blessed.

However, after his father's death, everything changed. The big old house became lifeless. At the age of ten, after their mother was distributed to the house, they moved out of there and came to this residence. Over the years, Zhuang Rui has rarely gone to the old house, mainly because he did not want to face his father who had passed away for many years The loss of a father is an unbearable pain for many people.

The old house is located at the foot of Yunlong Mountain, a famous scenic spot in Pengcheng. Hundreds of meters in front of it is the Pengcheng Museum. The silver jade clothes on display in it attract many domestic and foreign tourists to visit every day.

On the hill of Hubu, not far behind the old house, there is the world-class hero Xiang Yu, who became the overlord of Western Chu after destroying the Qin Dynasty. He set up the capital of Pengcheng and built a platform to watch horses, perform martial arts and parades. Historically, it was listed as one of the three treasures of Jiangsu Province together It can't be preserved as intact as the two landscapes above.

Historically, various dynasties built many buildings on the horse theater, such as Taitou, Sanyi Temple, famous eunuchs, Jukui Academy, towering mountain houses and stele pavilions. With the passage of time and the change of time, the buildings of the past have been annihilated. After renovation, the horse troupe has reappeared in the world with a magnificent and colorful appearance. Zhuang Rui in his childhood often sneaked in with some friends to play.

*****

Early the next morning, Zhuang Rui and his brother-in-law rushed to the old house, but the rented car could only be parked at the intersection of the alley. Zhuang Rui and his brother-in-law got out of the car and walked to the old house on the thick snow.

Zhuang Rui's old house has three bungalows and a spacious yard. There is a tall jujube tree in the middle of the yard. There is a stone table and several stone stools under the jujube tree. When I was a child, every summer, the family sat on the stone bench in the yard to eat and cool down. Now no one

Originally, Zhuang's mother had to come here to clean once a month, but now because it was about to be demolished, she didn't come back after packing up her things. The spacious yard was full of weeds, and a big word "demolition" was written on the wall outside. Because the construction here was about to start after the Spring Festival, When the festive atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere, it seems a little desolate and lonely.

The room in the middle was where Grandpa Zhuang Rui used to live. After Grandpa's death, the room was vacated. He usually put some sundries. When he was a child, Zhuang Rui always felt gloomy inside and never dared to go in. When he grew up, he came less in the old house, so he was not interested

For this grandfather, who had never met, Zhuang Rui only learned from his mother that his grandfather was a geologist. He once went to work in Myanmar, Yunnan after liberation. It was also for this reason that he was slandered as an enemy in that chaotic decade, persecuted, and also implicated Zhuang Rui's grandmother, which made the two old people He passed away early.

"Xiao Rui, it's gray inside. Don't come in. I'll move things out. Just give me a hand outside..."

My brother-in-law opened the door of the middle room, and the sky was full of dust, which made Zhuang Rui retreat repeatedly and coughed.

The reflection of the sun shining on the snow reflected into the room, and it was faintly visible that there were two rectangular wooden boxes about one meter in size in the corner of the room. The purpose of the two came this time was to move the two wooden boxes home, and the rest of the small objects had been brought back by Zhuangmu.

"It's okay. I seldom enter Grandpa's room. The house is gone soon. Go in and have a look. This box is big enough. Hey, it's really heavy. Let's carry it out..."

Zhuang Rui walked into the room again, picked up the corner of the box and tried it. He felt the precipitation when he started.

Nowadays, few people take bulky wooden boxes to store things. These two boxes should be old objects left before. The baking paint on the outer skin of the box has fallen off a little. The surface of the box is also carved with some flowers and plants. On the exquisite lock nose, two iron locks are hung.

Originally, Zhuang Rui still wanted to go to the circus today, but when he saw these two big boxes, he was completely desperate to play.

I don't know what was in the box. It was really heavy enough. After the two carried the box into the car and pulled it home, they both sweated all over. However, when they got home, they learned a good news. The house next door was basically fine. My mother's colleague promised to go through the transfer procedures after the Spring Festival, and It was set at 38,000 yuan, which was several thousand lower than the price at the beginning, which made Zhuang Rui and Zhao Guodong very happy.

After Zhao Guodong helped move the box, he left. After all, the Spring Festival is coming soon. There are still a lot of things in his parents' house. After his brother-in-law left, his mother was going to visit his former colleague's house, and Zhuang Rui was the only one left in the house.

Looking at the two large boxes placed in his room, Zhuang Rui had an impulse to open them. After all, the memories of the past would pass away with the demolition of the house. These things left by the elders became precious in the eyes of the younger generation.

Zhuang Rui found a few keys in the drawer of his mother's room and tried to open them. Sure enough, he could open the two boxes. Zhuang Rui was overjoyed and quickly opened one of the boxes and found that it was all some books. The cover of the book was a little yellow. It can be seen that these books are some age.

He carefully picked up a book from the box. Zhuang Rui looked at the publication date and found that it was actually Li Siguang's original work, the 53rd edition of Chinese Geology. After opening it, he saw a large number of biological fossil pictures and maps in it. After a cursory look, Zhuang Rui carefully put the book back in his hand. I believe Versions of books can only be found in some larger libraries now.

I turned it down, and it was full of some geological books. Zhuang Rui was not interested. He opened another box, but it was a pricke of letters and a stack of notebooks. In one corner of the box, there were four or five black, fist-sized stones.

"No wonder the box is so heavy. Why did my mother put a few stones in it?" Zhuang Rui was stunned and complained. He thought about it all.

He picked up a letter and opened it. Zhuang Rui was stunned, because the whole letter was written with a brush, and the last signature of the letter was actually the three words "Li Siguang". Zhuang Rui quickly read it carefully. The content of the letter was not long. It should be this order. The respected scientist replied to his grandfather. In the letter, he introduced the geological landscape of Yunnan, Guizhou, Myanmar and other places in detail. The words are very professional. Zhuang Rui can't understand many words and sentences, but he is sure that this is Li Siguang's handwritten letter.

I didn't expect that Grandpa knew this great scientist he had admired since he was a child, which greatly increased Zhuang Rui's interest, so he began to sort out Grandpa's letters. The black stones were taken out by him and thrown directly under the bed because of the obstruction. If he hadn't been afraid of trouble, Zhuang Rui would have thrown Go.

I roughly looked through these letters. Most of them were used by my grandfather to communicate professionally with some classmates and teachers. I only read half of them. There was a thick layer in the box, so Zhuang Rui was a little impatient, because some of the terms in them were really difficult for him to read.

Put down the letter he was reading in his hand. Zhuang Rui's heart moved. If he used Reiki, it seemed that he could read it without opening the envelope. Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui stared at the bottom of the box. The blue light flashed, and the aura in his eyes also escaped.

"Wow!"

Zhuang Rui suddenly shouted in surprise, because his eyes passed through a stack of letters. When he saw the bottom of the box, two scrolls came into his eyes, which surprised him. After the aura penetrated the scroll, there seemed to be a breath in the scroll into the aura in his eyes, and then the aura returned by itself. In his eyes, Zhuang Rui could clearly feel that only a layer of aura had become much thicker.

Zhuang Rui felt that his eyes at this moment were like just dripping eye drops, with a trace of sourness in the coolness. Zhuang Rui closed his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, the whole room seemed to have become much brighter.
