At the foot of Jingxin Mountain, Lianhua Village.
Xu Liwei searched the village for a day, but could not find the Jin Suju that Yue Xinyi mentioned. In the end, he could only stay in a B&B in the village.
When he got up in the morning, he didn't go out to eat. He just bought a bottle of water and a bag of bread.
"Young man, that's not nutritious to eat. Come on, have a bowl of noodles. I just cooked this."
There was an old woman in the store, who seemed to be the mother of the owner of this B&B. The old woman had a kind face and looked very kind. Seeing her bringing the steaming noodles to him, Xu Liwei immediately smiled gratefully: "How can you be so embarrassed, old man?" Huh? How much does this bowl of noodles cost? I’ll give you the money!”
"Hey, why should I charge for my own noodles?"
The old woman glanced at Xu Liwei, suddenly sat next to him, and said in a low voice: "I heard that you were in the village yesterday asking about Jin Suju?"
"yes!"
Xu Liwei's eyes lit up and he immediately put his face aside: "Old man, do you know Jin Suju? I asked many people and they don't know!"
"Ah." After hearing Xu Liwei's words, the old woman couldn't help but smile: "That was sixty or seventy years ago. If you ask those children, how could they know?"
Sixty or seventy years ago
Hearing the old woman's words, Xu Liwei's eyes narrowed. Indeed, the oldest of those he asked was only in his fifties, but the old woman in front of him looked to be in his seventies.
"Old man, do you know where Jin Suju is? Can you take me there?"
Xu Liwei finally became excited at this time, he found it! He finally found Jin Suju!
Who knows, after listening to his words, the old woman on the side shook her head: "Hey, Jin Suju has disappeared a long time ago. About sixty years ago, the boss of Jin Suju disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown. He has no relatives. , then the house was taken away by the village branch, and the big hotel in the innermost part of the village is now the Jin Suju."
The big hotel at the end of the village
Xu Liwei was stunned for a moment and tried to remember.
He had already searched the whole village yesterday evening, and he did have some impression of the big hotel in the innermost part of the village. The courtyard was huge.
"Thank you, mother-in-law!"
Thinking of the location of the hotel, Xu Liwei immediately picked up his backpack, stood up quickly and ran out!
This kid!
The old woman behind her couldn't help but shook her head.
Back then, when Jin Suju was still in business, she was a child. At that time, the entire Lotus Village was not a tourist attraction, nor was it so modern. And the boss of Jinsuju...
The old woman couldn't remember the appearance of the boss. When she was young, she only knew that the old gentleman was very knowledgeable and very good at writing and painting. Many families sent their children to Jinsuju to study with the old gentleman.
Yes, at that time Jinsuju was the only place in the village that sold calligraphy and paintings.
… …
In the village, the morning sun was just right. Xu Liwei ran desperately towards the innermost part of the village with his backpack on his back. Soon, he came to the entrance of the big hotel in the innermost part of the village.
At this time, because it was too early, the big hotel hadn't opened yet.
Xu Liwei stopped at the door panting, and was about to knock on the door, when suddenly he saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
Xu Liwei was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he ran towards that person quickly: "Why are you here? Aren't you with Xinyi and the others? Where is Xinyi? Why can't I contact her? "
