Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Chapter 149 Aunt Li’s decision
This place is obviously a secret room dug out of the ground.

The layout of the two rooms is large on the outside and small on the inside, with a total area of ​​fifty or sixty square meters.

Open structure with arches in between.

The outer room is surrounded by densely packed bookshelves filled with books.

There are bookshelves on the two walls inside, but there are no books. They are filled with wooden boxes and bottles and cans. In the corner, I also saw a bronze tripod with obvious signs of use...

Alchemy?
Su Mu pouted.

The old man is having a lot of fun.

A severe patient in the cultivation mode...

On the wall facing the arch, there is an open grid with an incense burner and several simple furnishings placed on it.

In the middle is a gray-brown futon.

It was probably used by Gutou before for meditation.

"When we were forced to be sent out of the palace, we were treated as ordinary waiters and maids, so we had many opportunities to move back to the palace through secret passages..."

Aunt Li spoke in a chatty tone about the big secret that shocked Sumu's outlook.

The old man was obsessed with martial arts and emptied out the collections in the royal study. The antiques were brought out by hand, or they were originally used to contain books and prescriptions and supplements related to martial arts.

"Mom, those books you gave me before...?"

Su Mu hesitated for a moment and asked softly.

Although it was underground, there was no echo.

Su Mu saw some irregular fist-sized holes on the wall, perhaps used by the ancients to absorb sound.

"From now on, this place will be yours. I will help you clean up there. Don't worry, my wife's body and bones can still hold on for a few more years."

"what?"

Su Mu opened his mouth in surprise.

This result was something he didn't expect.

I just wanted to borrow a sesame seed, but to my surprise, the other party gave me a big watermelon and a bag of sesame seeds.

This is even more exaggerated than buying a casket for a pearl.

The last three sides of the Galeng Sutra are placed randomly on the third floor in the middle of the outermost bookshelf.

Slightly awkward, it was obvious that the 'martial arts secret book' that Su Mu cherished was not well received by Aunt Li.

"Also, come with me."

Aunt Li waited for Su Mu to get the tail scroll of the Galeng Sutra, then turned around and walked up the steps, urging Su Mu to follow.

And Sumu really couldn't pull his legs out.

There were so many things that he had never seen or heard of before, and he really wanted to plunder them all and then immerse himself in them and study them carefully.

Where others have abandoned it as a fantasy, in Sumu, with the help of Golden Finger Space, we can have the opportunity to realize its effect.

Facing this large pile of dazzling books, it was difficult for Su Mu to remain calm and calm.

He decided not to pretend anymore.

"Okay, these are yours from now on. Don't worry, come with me first and take you to see the others..."

Aunt Li urged her a second time, with a smile in her tone, as if she was coaxing her grandson.

It's just that Aunt Li has been in the palace since she was a child. By the time she was sent out of the palace, she was already past the age of childbearing.

As a result, he has no children and only an old man alone.

Su Mu turned around and walked out with Aunt Li.

Aunt Li told Su Mu how to close the secret passage, and also said that this mechanism was somewhat similar to the door stone in a tomb.

Aunt Li took Su Mu to the small courtyard in the middle.

"It turns out that this is a gate. A few years ago, the courtyard wall was knocked down and opened by Lao Gu and Xiujuan. They also moved some old bricks from the demolition of the city wall and built it up."

Su Mu nodded.

There are mostly small courtyards here, and only the middle courtyard is a second-entry courtyard.

"This is where I lived back then, come with me."

The middle courtyard belongs to Aunt Li, and there is an abandoned pocket rockery pool in the corridor on the east side of the second entrance.

It's quite clean, but it's just that there's no water inside, so it's called abandoned.

There is a secret passage in the room on the north side of the east wing, and there are two rooms below, which seem to be in the same vein as the ancient one.

Well, maybe it was all done by a construction team.

Aunt Li said that there is a rockery and a pool above the head.

"Auntie, why didn't you get through to the master?"

"Back then, we all lived our own lives, but later on when we actually lived together, we became powerless..."

Su Mu thought to himself: It was not only because of his weakness, but also because he was forced by the situation and did not dare to make too much noise.

It should be said that these three remaining servants of the Qing Dynasty who came from the palace are quite distinctive.

I don’t know if all the attendants and maids have different hobbies, or if these three have the opportunity to travel together because they have similar temperaments.

There is no way to verify it anyway.

Although Aunt Li also practiced martial arts, that was just her way of survival in the palace. After she came out of the palace, she had no motivation to pursue the realm and improve those skills.

Her hobbies are similar to those of the Western dragon, yellow and shiny.

So in Aunt Li's underground secret room, there were piles of yellow and white things, very few antique jades, and a luminous pearl as big as a fist, which was known as a 'radiation source' in later generations.

"...Yours. From now on, these will all be yours."

Aunt Li stood here, her eyes filled with joy.

I think she really likes these.

It's probably like reading martial arts secrets from an old age.

And these are his too...

Su Mu had already made a guess, and looked at Aunt Li with a somewhat complicated look.

It feels like giving an account of the aftermath.

Most likely she treats Su Mu as her heir.

Su Mu is not stupid, but very smart.

This meaning was understood by Su Mu when Aunt Li pointed at the gold and silver jewelry that filled most of the secret room and said, "These will all be yours from now on."

The underground secret room of Xiujuan's small courtyard is behind the shadow wall and under the bamboo forest. You can enter it from the small room on the west wall. There is a secret door behind the cupboard next to the stove.

In comparison, this secret door seems a bit normal.

Xiujuan, the aunt who passed away early without ever meeting Su Mu, had the most normal hobbies.

Literati's calligraphy and painting, antiques and trendy items, well, I also collected a lot of 'imperial edicts' from various dynasties, as well as two 'death-free gold medals' that the owner was very happy with.

They are all very commemorative things.

The waist badge of the Jin Yiwei, the Black Dragon Guard waist badge of the pre-Ming dynasty, half a tiger talisman from the Western Han Dynasty, a scale talisman from the Sui and Tang dynasties, and a fish talisman from the early Tang Dynasty...

Although Su Mu had never met Xiujuan, he saw how she devoted herself to collecting these gadgets and even died on the way to 'Taobao'.

The image of the brain supplement is already very fulfilling.

Pixiu attributes are full of déjà vu.

"My dear, come over tomorrow and we'll go to the street to complete the formalities..."

Aunt Li wants to make a will, and the ownership of the house a hundred years from now will be given to Su Mu.

Su Mu wanted to say that he couldn't help it, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out.

"Auntie, I will be your grandson from now on, and I will take care of you until you die."

"If you hadn't come over that winter, I would have left long ago. Every day I live now is in vain."

Now that the conversation was over, Su Mu said at lunch that he couldn't leave.

But she didn’t let Aunt Li cook.

Su Mu went out for a spin.

I brought back a lot of big and small bags.

Even without this openness and honesty, Su Mu was still determined to provide for Aunt Li in her old age.

But now, it has become even more necessary.

Emotions are one aspect, and the other aspect is that Aunt Li has given her too much.

Compared with the conditions laid out by Aunt Li, what Su Mu got in the cave tunnel was nothing worth mentioning.Of course, this measurement standard refers to the prosperous times decades later.

The so-called golden age collection in troubled times.

Antiques are not valuable nowadays. Although small yellow croakers and large yellow croakers are valuable, they cannot be spent wantonly.

Otherwise, the ancient head would not have been guarding the treasure mountain but perished due to "malnutrition".

As for real estate...

This is a combination of two first-level courtyards and one second-level courtyard. Although it is not a place for princes and generals, and the location is even a little shabby, after all, it is similar to the collective dormitory where eunuchs gathered in those days.

But the area is really not small.

Decades later, if it doesn’t have the value of a dozen small targets, you won’t be able to take advantage of it.

Although Aunt Li is an eighty-year-old woman, she has good teeth and a good appetite.

Face to face with Su Mu, his little apprentice, we ate a pickled pork knuckle and showed off six plates of beef shabu-shabu.

The copper pot was taken out of the Sumu from space, and so was the meat.

I went to Lao Maozi on a mission the year before last and actually bought it from there.

The reason why I emphasize buying is because many times Sumu is 'shun'.

The kind that costs nothing.

As the saying goes, the rich water does not flow to outsiders' fields. When you are away from home, you can bring a little bit home.

It's not enough to make cheap money.

Buying beef there was one of the few times Su Mu spent money abroad to stock up on supplies, so he naturally remembered it clearly.

At the end of the day, he actually took two pieces of frozen tofu, thinking of changing the taste for the old man.

It didn't move at all.

Aunt Li had no intention of rinsing the tofu.

Both of them are warriors, and they both show off their chopsticks for handling mutton.

Who would eat tofu when there is meat?

After the meal, Aunt Li burped and looked at Su Mu with a kind look, a hint of understanding.

The taste is different and the effect is also different.

The meat sent by Chen Dakui did not have this effect.

Only the meat that Wazi brought personally would have the same effect as usual for several days after just a few bites.

It seems that the little boy is not only blessed with deep blessings, but also a person with a big secret.

"My child, if you meet Lian Jiazi in the future, try not to bring out such meat."

"Ah? Madam, what are you...?"

"My aunt doesn't ask about your own secrets, but the meat you brought over, experienced people like us, can tell the difference as soon as we eat it, and we can consider it lucky once or twice, but..."

Aunt Li was halfway through her words and stopped at the end of her sentence.

But Su Mu understood what she meant.

"Hey, I'll find out later, auntie, let's just eat by ourselves."

Don't reveal your wealth to avoid being noticed by others.

After a meal, Su Mu got a lot of valuable information from Aunt Li.

With the change of dynasties, some were broken and some were inherited.

The flower growers are world-famous for their 'Kung Fu', something that has been passed down for thousands of years. After being simplified, it was taught to the troops. The troops were also divided into three, six or nine grades according to different types of troops.

And a few decades later, has martial arts really turned into martial arts and become a kind of fitness, entertainment and performance?
Were the fitness and killing techniques of the past strictly controlled and not spread, or were they really lost at the turn of the century?
Before Su Mu came into contact with martial arts, he thought that martial arts was just martial arts, just a skill.

After getting to know Gu Gutou and successfully becoming a disciple, I felt that martial arts were real and Qigong was also an external manifestation of an internal martial art.

It was something Su Mu could achieve by himself through improving his abilities.

Now, after this meal, Su Mu became suspicious again.

There may not be any gaps in martial arts. It is just that due to the influence of the general environment and certain reasons, it has been hidden for use by a small number of people and is no longer spread among the people.

Say it now, but turn around and refuse to admit it.

This topic cannot be thought about in detail, it is more terrifying than extreme fear.

Otherwise, why would Aunt Li say that she should pay more attention when meeting similar people again.

"Mom, are there many people who have learned the basics of inner breath?"

"There are so many people in the world, how can we be sure that there are no martial arts geniuses like you?"

Look at what Aunt Li said. She not only expressed her own point of view, but also praised Su Mu.

Delicious.

After dinner, Su Mu said goodbye to Aunt Li.

Su Mu mentioned to his aunt that it would be better to live with him in a courtyard house in Nanluogu Lane.

An old house where a treasure.

It happened that Chen Dakui was moving out after the New Year, so he could let his aunt live there.

Or you can move to the east wing.

Just need to tidy it up in advance.

But Aunt Li refused.

It was winter, the house was already warm, and I was too lazy to move.

Secondly, she had to live here, and she had to help Su Mu guard the things in the yard.

Su Mu planned to "move a new home" for the things below him after the New Year, and then proposed that Aunt Li move there to live with him.

But I just found out today that it’s really inappropriate to think about moving other people’s treasures.

For the time being, I followed Aunt Li's suggestion, but I made up my mind to wait until the next year.

The relationship between the two was thus settled.

Every drink and every peck is fate.

If Su Mu hadn't been kind enough to save Aunt Li back then, Aunt Li wouldn't be giving away everything now.

Gifts of roses, hand left lingering fragrance.

The ancients never lied to me.

On the way back to the courtyard, Su Mu felt very emotional.

When we returned to the yard, there were only a few aunts sitting around chatting in the sun, with their hands free.

There are those who paste matchboxes, those who hold shoe soles, and those who knit sweaters.

The sweater was knitted by the third aunt, who also worked as a temporary worker in the neighborhood committee. She had more money and bought new wool to knit socks for her little girl Yan Jiedi.

The elders hadn't gotten off work yet. Su Mu didn't stop, smiled and said hello to several aunts, and limped back to the house.

"Well, Su Mu also has a hard life."

Su Mu came and went in a hurry, but the topic remained.

"Yes, he became disabled at a young age. I think it will be difficult to find a wife in the future."

"Who wouldn't tell me? Who doesn't want to find someone with good legs and feet?"

"Didn't you say he was a fighting hero?"

"Who said this? I really don't know, but it doesn't matter. If we don't talk about other places, we don't have enough fighting heroes here?"

"That's true."

"Sister Yang, how did you discuss the matter of Su Mu's house being stolen?"

Someone suddenly asked.

The third aunt glanced vaguely at Jia Zhang next to her, and hesitated on how to speak.

Mrs. Liu Wang also raised her head and glanced at Mrs. Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhangshi's hand holding the soles of her shoes paused for a moment, but she lowered her head and did not continue.

Mrs. Liu pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Although she knew it, she didn't want to be the first to say it.

And it wasn't her who was asking anyway. Wasn't the wife of the third uncle of the compound still there?
