Volume 8 Knowledge Rental Chapter 10 There is a Family Deep in the Garden

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Legend has it that somewhere in Suzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there has been a garden from a long time ago.

    An unknown water forest garden.

    It is said that a long time ago, humans did not have the concept of common sense barriers.  In that era, wars broke out everywhere, there were corpses on the roads, and people lived in poverty.  People living in popular towns were fine, but traveling traders traveling from place to place were not so lucky.  They have been sleeping rough in the mountains for many years, and they often encounter mountain monsters and ghosts, resulting in many casualties.

    In that era, people would choose to be traveling businessmen. Most of those who left their hometowns were those who could not survive the famine in their hometowns. No one cared about life or death.  But, there are always some unfortunate and lucky guys who survive.  Strange things will happen around these surviving people. In order to have peace of mind, they will ask wandering Taoist priests and wizards to exorcise evil spirits and remove darkness for them. Occasionally they will hear about this place from the mouths of the wizards.

    Many people have heard about it and have looked for it, but very few have actually found it.

    Because, it lies beyond common sense.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Sanxiang Township, located in the southeast of Suzhou, is a small town surrounded by mountains and densely populated by lakes.

    There are only more than 300 households in the township. The scenery is simple, peaceful and elegant.

    There are not many roads in the countryside, and there are rivers everywhere in front of and behind the houses.

    There are many ancient bamboo and wooden huts on both sides of the river.

    ? Simple, quiet, and full of ancient flavor.

    By the main river, on the second floor of the small teahouse.

    Xiao Lin, who had just arrived in Sanxiang Township, chose this place to rest.

    "Wow, this is super delicious~" Rin took a small steamed bun into his mouth with satisfaction.

    This is the signature snack of this teahouse. The small bun is less than one bite and it is really delicious.

    "Lin, you are not just out for a trip, are you? You have eaten a lot today." Ling Ning, who was sitting on the side, lay idle in front of the window sill, looking out the window at the ancient path with not many people.  There are very few people in this small town and there are few roads. Except for three or five main roads, the rest are all rivers of different sizes.

    In front of the two of them, there was a small boat moving slowly on the river. The boatman was rowing the oar, taking his time and leisurely.

    There are not many people on the few streets. Their lifestyle is obviously different from the fast-paced city people. The faces of these people are less impatient and more leisurely.  This does not mean that their lives are better than those in the city. After all, they lack a lot of the prosperity and convenience of the city.

    Ling Ning thought for a while and realized: I am picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan Mountain.

    It¡¯s very beautiful, but it¡¯s not what she likes.

    She is more suitable for the noisy city.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    A mother holding her child in the crowd caught Ling Ning's attention.

    A little boy who was only seven or eight years old stopped in front of a candy store, grabbed his mother's clothes and yelled.

    His mother¡¯s persuasion was useless and she bought him a few candies.

    It was a very ordinary scene, but Ning was particularly fascinated by it, and his thoughts drifted away.

    As the two of them walked away, Ning suddenly came back to his senses, and a faint smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

    It¡¯s just a slight smile, with a reminiscence.

    Once upon a time, she did this too.

    When I went shopping with my mother, I grabbed her hand and yelled for candy for a long time.

    It is now two o'clock in the afternoon. Since arriving in this small town in southern Jiangsu in the morning, Rin has been taking her around.  Of course, Rin herself was happy. Every time she saw a new snack, she would buy a big pack, but she could only watch Xiao Rin eat it, and secretly drooled.

    Thinking back on this hellish morning, Ling Ning looked at Xiao Lin with resentment.

    Seeing her face full of happiness, he destroyed all the steamed dumplings

    "Rin, didn't you say you were going to buy talismans? How come it's a trip?"

    "Hmm, the xiaolongbao here is better than the ones in Fenghua City!" Xiao Lin didn't pay attention to Lingning's question at all. After wiping away the remaining oil stains from the corner of her mouth, she pointed to a store not far away that sells sesame cakes and crab shell roe.  The shop said to her: "Ning, can you help me buy some sesame cakes over there? I've just finished eating them."

    "I don't want it. If you want to eat, go and eat it yourself~" Ning, whose face became even more ugly, immediately turned around.

    "Hey, do you want to eat when you watch me eat? Yes, it must be so." With a teasing smirk, Lin put her face towards Ling Ning and put the snack on the table.  She waved the empty bag in front of her nose: "It smells very good~"

    "Rin, you must have done it on purpose! You knew I couldn't eat it" Ling Ning gritted her teeth as she looked at her resentfully.

    NoWhether he was sad or too angry, his cheeks were bulging high.

    ¡­¡­

    It¡¯s June and the sun is shining brightly.

    There are trickling rivers everywhere in the small town of Suzhou. Although the water flow never stops, it is unexpectedly calm.  Occasionally, a few small boats passed by, making a soft creaking sound.  On the riverside path, Rin wore a neat and refreshing shirt and strolled through the old town.

    After leaving the teahouse, Rin exhaled happily,

    Looking at Ling Ning who was still sulking next to him, Xiao Lin whispered: "Ning, it would be good to go out for a walk. See more of the scenery outside and interact with people more. This is better than sitting in your room playing on the computer.  much better."

    This small town surrounded by rivers and flowing water is much cooler than Fenghua City.

    Ling Ning, who was wearing a cool summer dress, stood beside her holding a larger-than-usual parasol. Hearing Rin say this, he immediately curled his lips with disdain: "If there is anything good to see, you should sleep at home in broad daylight."  She took off her parasol and looked at the scorching sun in the sky: "It's true that the temperature here is much cooler, but the sun is still scorching, which is really annoying."

    "You'll get used to it. You, you are no longer afraid of the sun, but you still hold an umbrella every day. It's really not a good habit."

    "Although it is true, it always hurts when the sun shines on it!" Ning grinned under the umbrella and bared his teeth, seeming to recall some bad memories, and murmured to himself: "It's like this  Later, when I went out for the first time, I was sore from the sun that it took me several days to get better." Thinking of her recklessness that time, she expressed that she still had lingering fears.

    "" After opening her mouth, Rin didn't speak again.

    The habit has been formed, so let it go.

    "Rin, where are we going? Didn't you say someone would come to pick us up?" After crossing four small stone bridges and taking many turns, Ning, who was seriously lacking in patience except for games, finally gave up.  Impatient.

    "It's almost there, it's almost there, don't worry."

    "Really?" Looking at her with suspicion, Ning expressed distrust.

    "Hmm~"

    ¡­¡­

    "Rin, that" The number of people was reduced, and there seemed to be more black and white gases in the surrounding clear river.

    It was in the lower layer of the water, settling in the river bed. It was a faint layer that ordinary people would never notice, but she saw it.

    "Tired?" After a while, Rin sat down against the river bank, took off his shoes,

    "No, there seems to be something strange around" Pointing to the river, and looking around, Ning frowned suspiciously: "I can't tell what is strange specifically, I just feel something is wrong. By the way, it's the atmosphere!!  "

    ¡°The atmosphere here is so deserted, it doesn¡¯t look like a small town at all.¡± Her eyes moved to the wooden building next to her.  Moss spread along the steps, and on the old and dim walls, there were some green and yellow vines climbing up the corners, slowly spreading upward.

    It seems no one has been here for a long time.

    Because no one is tidying up, the breath of the people who belong here is sparse and faint, as if it is about to disappear.

    Correspondingly, the sparse popularity gives this place a strong sense of darkness.

    Although Ning doesn¡¯t hate it no, she likes this atmosphere very much.

    Xiao Lin didn¡¯t answer and walked straight to a small ferry by the river.

    Looking at the lower layer of the river, the clear and pure river water in ordinary people's eyes has a thin trickle in Xiao Lin's eyes, with milky white and dark black intertwined, like the strange whirlpool of milk mixed with ink.  Xiao Lin confirmed the location, turned around and explained to Ling Ning: "Ning, remember the path we have taken. We have left the town now. Here is the entrance to the Su family's water garden, the Youquan Water Crossing. This river  Together with the water garden of the Su family and the outside world, its name is: Youquan Waterway."

    Ling Ning put away her umbrella. There was still no sunshine in the ordinary sense here.

    There was a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere in the air, which made her feel comfortable.

    "Xiao Lin, do you know the way?" Ning clenched his fists, his face a little dark.

    "Of course, how else would I find the ferry?" Xiao Lin looked at Ling Ning with a look like "You are such an idiot."

    ¡°Then what are you doing hanging around in the town!!!¡±

    ¡°Nonsense, of course you have to try the special snacks here when you come here.¡±

    Seeing Xiao Lin¡¯s confident answer, Ling Ning stared at her.

    After being silent for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said: "Rin, you are so bad!!"

    Xiao Lin was looked at with such condemning eyes and expressed no pressure at all.

    Ning continued to stare.  .

    ¡°¡­Okay, okay, I¡¯ve convinced you, it¡¯s okay for us to come too early.Use.  This quiet spring waterway is unguided and cannot be entered by outsiders.  Even if we force our way through the Youquan Waterway, we still won't be able to reach the Su family's water garden, so just wait patiently"

    ¡­¡­

    A quarter of an hour later, waiting

    "It's very cold. Would you like to try it?"

    Xiao Lin sat childishly by the river, took off her shoes, and put her white and tender feet into the flowing river.

    "Don't" Turning around, Ning puffed up his cheeks and ignored her.

    I don¡¯t know since when, the sun above them has submerged into a gloomy rain cloud, and the cooler environment makes her feel more comfortable.  Looking at Xiao Lin with a happy face, she looked serious and wanted to say something serious: "Hey, Lin"

    "Um?"

    "I suddenly discovered something very interesting."

    "tell me the story."

    "No, you will definitely be angry if you hear this."

    "Won't."

    "real?"

    "Um!"

    "I foundsometimes your behavior matches your face~"

    Xiao Lin's paddling in the water suddenly stopped. Lin showed an unclear smile and turned her face sideways: "Ning, I immediately unplugged your network cable when I got back! I found that the recent Internet and electricity bills are a bit high.  The income of the Secretariat is too low and we can¡¯t afford the Internet fee. We need to save energy and reduce expenses. So we can¡¯t access the Internet for the time being~"

    "Ah woo~" Ning's originally comfortable and comfortable mood suddenly dropped when he heard that his lifeline was in danger.

    She took off her shoes and threw them away in a few moments, and followed Xiao Lin's example, sitting next to her and paddling in the water with her feet, with a look of approval on her pretty face: "Yeah  Well, the coolness on my feet is indeed very comfortable. Rin, I realize you are a genius~~"

    "Hmm~!" Rin turned his head and didn't look at her.

    "Master Lin~" Ling Ning squeezed Xiao Lin's shoulders eagerly.

    "Are you comfortable, Master Xiao Lin?"

    "Not bad, a little to the left."

    "Yesis it here, Master Rin." This internet-addicted zombie decisively lost his moral integrity and complied.

    "Well, not bad~"

    "Isn't it natural? Everything is for Mr. Xiao Lin~"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Ning swayed her feet, squirming uneasily.

    "Rin~~" she shouted weakly, and after waiting for a while, when she didn't get a response, she turned around and found that Xiao Lin had closed her eyes and was lying comfortably on the board of the ferry. Ning squinted her eyes and leaned on  He hugged her, rested his pillow on Lin's soft belly, and rubbed it unconsciously.

    "Rin, how old is your sister?"

    "Five years old, don't you know?"

    "It's so cute,"

    "Yeah." Rin responded softly, and murmured: "Have you missed them? Let's go and see them."

    Ning rested his head on her body and didn't respond.

    Just look deeply, deeply, into the distance.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After taking a nap for a while, Ning, who was full of energy, heard a strange noise.

    She stood up and looked at the end of the river.

    Ling Ning shook Xiao Lin, pointed to the distance and shouted: "Rin, there is a ship coming over there!!!"

    "Is there anything strange? Haven't you seen a lot along the way?"

    "It's different, see for yourself, this boat is completely black, and it even has a roof!" Pointing to a awning boat in the crisscrossing river next to him, Ning jumped onto a stone platform excitedly and looked around.

    Under the dim and simple stone bridge in the distance, the originally calm water surface was filled with waves.

    From far to near, a small awning boat sailed towards the direction of the two people.

    "Oh, you are such an ignorant brat." Rin sighed as if she was troubled. She was already a little disappointed with this guy's poor knowledge.  Perhaps because he has been immersed in the two-dimensional world for too long, some common sense in the real world is particularly unfamiliar to Ling Ning.  Of course, if you talk about games, anime and the like, I believe she will roll up her sleeves and talk to you with confidence for three days and three nights.

    ¡­¡­

    The rower was an old man in his late seventies, wearing a dark raincoat.  Sitting behind him was a kind-looking middle-aged woman in her early thirties, wearing a pure white short-sleeved suit, and her plump figure had a sense of maturity.

    Although she has passed her prime, the traces of time left on her body are very small.

    "Rin, that aunt is so beautiful!"

    "You guy!" Xiao Lin nodded.He pressed his forehead firmly and said, "I always feel that you have learned badly recently."

    The boat is very old, and when the old man rocks it, it will make a soft squeaking sound, which makes people worry about whether the boat is strong.  The boat swayed and stopped at the intersection. The middle-aged woman whispered to the old man beside her who was punting the boat: "Hey, I didn't expect there are still guests today."

    "Yes, this time is indeed unusual. Logically speaking, it will take some time before anyone comes?" The old man who punted the boat slowly shook his head and didn't care: "Maybe he just came to copy some information."

    The boat has arrived at the shore. The middle-aged woman thanked her and walked out of the boat: "That's right. Captain, would you please wait for me here for a while? It will take about two-quarters of an hour."

    "Okay," the old man nodded, sat down on the bow of the boat with his bare feet, and skillfully picked up a fishing rod from the side of the boat.

    "You two girls should wait with me, don't worry."
