Dark destroyer

After leaving the workshop area, we came to the shop area, where the shops, pawnshops, and pharmacies that were once prominent in the history of Wuzhen are presented in their original appearance, but the traces of knives and knives carved by the years have been left on the façade.

Wang Miao pointed to some of the large facades and said, these are the industries of the Wang family, but in modern society, the stores here are no longer for business, but more as tourist attractions, and now the family has reopened stores in the city.

Looking at these merchants, the shopkeepers inside were all wearing long shirts and coats from the Qing Dynasty, Xiao Yi and the others really felt that they had returned to that long historical era.

Out of the shop area, Wang Miao took a few people to the Qingshui River after a few turns, here is where the dwellings are, the high eaves on both sides of the river, with well-preserved Qing Dynasty houses, at this time on the riverside stone road, some ancient old people or standing or sitting, are enjoying the warm sunshine.

After a while, everyone came to a stone bridge, the bridge body arched like a rainbow, the stone wall of the bridge railing was carved with exquisite patterns, on the bridge railing, carved monsters, multi-faceted, lifelike.

"This is the famous 'Fengyuan Twin Bridges'. Wang Miao said this, and there was a look of pride in her expression.

At this time, Liu Wenyuan stood at the highest point in the bridge, looking at the railing, far away, a flat boat floated on the water, two country women sat on the bow of the boat, and at this time, a melodious Jiangnan tune floated out of nowhere.

Liu Wenyuan felt that his body and mind were empty, and his whole person seemed to be melted by this Jiangnan water town.

Wang Miao said: "Since ancient times, this place has been an important place for north-south transportation, and natural commerce is also very prosperous, and there was a literati named Shi Zengxi in the Qing Dynasty, who once wrote a poem to describe the importance and beauty of Wuzhen at that time, I remember it was called "Sungai Bamboo Branches".

'Tiaoxi Qingyuan Xiuxi is long, with water Yingying Huiye mine, a bridge on both sides of the river is separated, and Wucheng is Tongxiang across it. Alas, my eloquence is not as good as that of Wang Jun, and if he reads this poem and sounds good, it will feel as if he had returned to ancient times. Wang Miao blamed herself for her talent in recitation.

Chen Feng said with some envy: "It's good, it's much stronger than us." In this ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, where literati and artists gathered, Wang Miao's recitation of this beautiful poem is really like the chic talent of the ancients.

Everyone talked and laughed and watched, and slowly came to the park on the outskirts of Wuzhen.

At this time, the weather is slightly cold, the trees are withered, although it is the south of the Yangtze River, but the leaves are dark yellow and fall with the wind. At this time, there are not many people in the park, and the sparse trees are very quiet and serene.

Everyone walked about a hundred or so steps inside, and then they heard the murmuring of water, and as far as the eye could see, the space suddenly opened up, and a large clearing appeared among the scattered trees, and in the center of the clearing a huge locust tree stood tall. This locust tree has thick branches and a lush canopy, and there are no other trees living within more than ten meters around it, which makes it look a little lonely and gloomy.

Although Liu Wenyuan had known about this locust tree in advance, he was a little surprised when he saw the real thing now, this locust tree was far more difficult than he thought.

Wang Miao pointed to the big locust tree and said: "Master Liu, it's this big locust tree, I'm afraid this tree doesn't have a history of hundreds of years, it seems that there was a record of this big locust tree when there was this town, if the record is correct, it is possible for thousands of years!"

Xiao Yi and the others all looked at this big locust tree blankly, they really didn't expect the tree to grow so huge, looking at the thick trunk, I am afraid that a few of them can hold hands to hug it.

At this time, the trees are withering, but this big locust tree is luxuriant and vibrant. It's not special if you put it in other seasons, but in the current season, it feels very abnormal.

Liu Wenyuan asked curiously, "Is this tree like this in this season?"

Wang Miao replied: "Yes, yes, it's weird, isn't it? In fact, it's only like this during this time, and the rest of the time it's bare like a dead tree.

The old people in the town all said that the tree had become a fine man, and it was protecting the town, although it had experienced a hundred years of war, but the town was rarely affected by the war, and the old people said that it was the credit of the tree.

Anyway, we don't know, and we don't really believe it, isn't it just a tree, it just lives longer, and it seems that the age of the tree is longer than that of people.

Master Liu, what is Wang Jun inviting you to come this time, I know I shouldn't have asked more, but why do you want to come and see this tree?

And the old man Wang also has to come back here every year to sit under this tree for a day and a night, no one is allowed to get close, the people in the town feel strange, but he is an old man of high morality, and we as juniors dare not ask more even if we are curious. Obviously, Wang Miao didn't know the purpose of Liu Wenyuan's trip, and thought that Liu Wenyuan was an important guest of Wang Jun and came to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

"Oh, this is what it looks like during this time, what does it mean?" Liu Wenyuan obviously didn't understand Wang Miao's words, Mo said that Liu Wenyuan didn't understand, that is, Xiao Yi and the others were confused.

Wang Miao said: "This tree is bare most of the year, there are no leaves at all, just like a dead tree, but in the past ten days of this month, this tree seems to have suddenly come to life, and it has become luxuriant.

We are not surprised, but outsiders heard about this to see this strange thing, this tree has become famous, has become a major feature of the town, there used to be people to cut down this tree, now no one proposes, this tree is a cash cow. "

"Oh?" Liu Wenyuan seemed to be in deep thought when he heard this.

Wang Miao saw that Liu Wenyuan was interested in this big locust tree, and couldn't help asking, "Master Liu, did Wang Jun ask you to identify this tree?"

Liu Wenyuan was looking up at the big locust tree blankly, as if he hadn't heard Wang Miao's words at all. Xiao Yi smiled at Wang Miao and said, "Master Liu is often in a daze like this, you don't have to mind." "

Wang Miao smiled when he heard this, and said: "Although this tree is peculiar, it is not a strange thing, but I don't know why you are only interested in this tree, there are also many various species in this town, and visitors have come here to just marvel, if there is no comparison, it is really impossible to see what is different about this big locust tree." Wang Miao looked at Liu Wenyuan's appearance and was also puzzled.

Xiao Yi and the others felt that this big locust tree was a little weird after listening to Wang Miao's description, but they really didn't know what Liu Wenyuan was doing to this big locust tree, so they were silent. Several people accompanied Liu Wenyuan in a daze.
