Chapter 310 A petal falling from the locust tree
Lou Xiao'e smiled and replied, "I want to continue to do something for the protection of cultural heritage, especially the inheritance and promotion of traditional handicrafts. The experience of renovating the old house made me deeply realize that traditional culture needs us to protect and pass on."
Xiao Dang nodded. "That's a good idea, Lou Xiao'e. We can work together and do more meaningful things."
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaodang. In the future, we will work together to pass on traditional culture so that more people can understand and cherish it."
The two are full of confidence and expectations for the future. They know that as long as they unite and work hard, they will be able to create a brighter future.
As the days passed, the renovation of the old house and the courtyard gradually came to an end. Every detail has been carefully handled, and every corner has a new vitality. Xiaodang, Su Ming, Jia Dongxu and Lou Xiaoe stood in the yard, looking at the brand new building, and their hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
"Xiaodang, Su Ming, Jia Dongxu, Lou Xiaoe, we finally did it." Xiaodang said with emotion, with a gleam of relief in his eyes.
Su Ming smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is not only our job, but also our mission and responsibility. In the days to come, we must continue to work hard to pass on this cultural heritage."
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the petals on the locust tree fell with the wind, like a quiet snow dance. Xiaoxia sighed softly, opened her notebook, and began to sort out the information in her hands. She knew that to find the truth about Xu Damao, she needed a little patience and courage, and more accurate clues and evidence.
At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps in the yard. Xiaoxia looked up and saw Su Ming coming from the depths of the house, holding a pot of flowers and plants that had just been watered. There was a trace of fatigue on his face, but his eyes revealed his deep attachment and love for this yard.
"Good morning, Xiaoxia." Su Ming walked to Xiaoxia with a smile, put the basin aside, and sat on the bench next to her.
Xiaoxia smiled back and gently closed her notebook. "You came so early today, is there something going on?" she asked, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Su Ming nodded and said softly, "I dreamed of my grandparents again last night. They told me in the dream that there are many stories hidden in this yard that we don't know about. Perhaps these stories can help us find some clues."
Xiaoxia frowned slightly after hearing this. "You mean..." She paused and looked at Su Ming intently, "Is it about Xu Damao?"
Su Ming nodded, looking serious. "Yes, I have always felt that Xu Damao's story is not simple. Grandpa and grandma mentioned him before they died, saying that he had done many things in this yard, but they never told me the specific details. Now, I heard that Yan Jie Di is collecting evidence about her everywhere, and I think I may be able to find some clues from her."
Xiaoxia thought for a moment and shook her head. "Yan Jie Di is a tough opponent, and I've heard about her methods. If we want to find out the truth about Xu Damao, we need to be fully prepared and not let her know what we're doing."
Su Ming nodded. He knew what Xiaoxia said made sense. "We can start with the oral history of our grandparents to see if we can find some clues. Their memories may be able to give us some inspiration."
The two sat in the courtyard in silence, and time seemed to stand still at this moment. Su Ming closed his eyes and tried to recall his grandparents' description of Xu Damao. Every detail could be the key to solving the mystery.
Suddenly, a little sparrow flew down from the locust tree to their feet, awakening their thoughts. Su Ming opened his eyes and looked up at the locust tree. The fragrance of the locust flowers filled the air, as if it was a symbol of the past years, and reminded him of his childhood memories.
"I remember my grandfather once said that Xu Damao was a very far-sighted man. He made many changes in this courtyard." Su Ming suddenly said, "He is not only a businessman, but also a cultural inheritor. Perhaps we can start with his cultural activities to see if we can find some clues."
Xiaoxia's eyes sparkled after hearing this. "Yes, Xu Damao is not only a businessman, he is also involved in cultural undertakings. If we can find his footprints in cultural activities, we may be able to find more information about him."
Their discussion gradually deepened, sometimes they were talking and laughing, sometimes they were lost in thought. The morning in the courtyard was leisurely and quiet, as if time had slowed down here, leaving them ample space for thinking and exploration.
A petal fell from the locust tree and landed gently on the notebook in Su Ming's hand. He looked at the petal quietly, and a firm determination surged in his heart. No matter how rough the road ahead was, he was determined to follow Xu Damao's footsteps and uncover the history and truth hidden deep in the years.
Xiaoxia looked anxiously at the notebook in front of her, which was filled with all kinds of information and possible clues about Xu Damao. She kept thinking about the historical stories about this courtyard told by her grandparents, trying to find any possible clues to help them find the truth about Xu Damao.
Su Ming was immersed in his own thoughts. He stared at every corner of the courtyard, as if hoping to find the answer from the traces left by the years. The locust trees in the courtyard swayed gently in the breeze, making a low rustling sound, as if telling the stories of the years, and these stories might be the key they wanted to explore.
Xiaoxia suddenly broke the silence, "Su Ming, I'm thinking about how we should find the evidence in Yan Jie Di's hands about her seeking justice for Xu Damao. I heard that she collected many objects related to the history of this place in an antique shop in the city center. Maybe we can find some clues there."
Su Ming nodded, thinking carefully about Xiaoxia's suggestion. "Indeed, the antique shop may be an important clue. When Xu Damao was active, he probably conducted cultural exchanges and collected things through these channels. If we can find the cultural relics or materials he once traded, we may be able to learn more about him and his deeds."
The two decided to go to the antique shop first, hoping to find some useful clues. They walked along the familiar streets and alleys, which seemed to be witnesses of their childhood. Every corner and every shop was full of memories of their childhood.
