Just leave.

Shen Le packed a large bag of clothes, put the commonly used tools into the hiking bag, picked it up and walked out the door. He hesitated several times before leaving and wanted to take Little Ink Marker with him, but finally gave up the idea:

"You are so good at home alone!"

Shen Le squatted in front of Little Ink Marker, muttering and trying to reason with it:

"You can use the wood I give you to make furniture. If you feel lonely, you can make small furniture models out of the wood fragments and put them into the model of the entire house.

Don't leave the mansion, don't damage the furniture in the mansion, and don't saw beams or columns!"

Lead Weight writhed impatiently, Ink Line pulled it up, stretched it straight, and bounced Ink Line on the ground to indicate that it heard. Saw the beam? Saw the pillar?

He is not a destructive maniac!

Shen Le smiled and touched it, then took Little Puppet to Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant and asked the landlady to take good care of it. He ran to Binhai City, boarded the high-speed rail, got off the high-speed rail, city bus, and transferred to the county seat for long distances:

Senior Martial Brother said that the teacher had been working with them for several days. He asked him to take the long distance to the county town and get off at Qingyun County Yankou Township Shangtian Village and make a call and someone would drive to pick him up.

Ah... Thanks to the current village-to-village connectivity, roads have been built to every village, and rural buses can also drive directly to the entrance of the village...

Shen Le was praising the rapid development of the country in his heart. Carrying a mountaineering bag and a handbag, he tried his best to squeeze into the station. He was looking everywhere for the car he wanted to take, when his eyes suddenly focused:

Huh?

Why is there another Zhuxi Town here?

Sitting on the row of chairs diagonally opposite was a young man about the same age as Shen Le, with short hair and camouflage short sleeves. He had a huge backpack beside him and a large bag at his feet.

What caught Shen Le's attention was the canvas bag on his lap, which had the words "Zhuxi Town Power Supply Management Office" clearly printed on it.

"Hey? Are you from Zhuxi too?"

Shen Le sat next to him curiously. The young man in camouflage cheered up:

"Yeah! Me too! You are..."

Meeting old friends in a foreign country, even if they were not old friends before but come from the same place, is still a joy.

After the two parties chatted, Shen Le learned that the young man in camouflage was named Xiang Yang and worked at the Zhuxi Town power supply station. This time he was returning to his hometown to visit relatives. By the way, he applied for a rural power technology exchange task and went to the countryside to support.

And his home is also quite close to his destination, Yankou Township Xiatian Village, and the village he is going to is only five miles away...

"That's exactly the same car! Just follow me. The place I'm going to is one stop further than you. If I tell you to get off, you get off again!"

They got into the same car, sat side by side, and continued chatting. Shen Le knew that Xiang Yang was a local, who was admitted to Binhai Electric Power University, and worked at Zhuxi Town Power Supply Station after graduation;

And Xiang Yang also knew that Shen Le was a student of B University's archeology department, and had just moved to Zhuxi Town recently, and even knew the mansion he lived in:

"Ah! I know that house! It has a separate 200 kilowatt line!

--In the past few years, this household had to pay tens of thousands in electricity bills every month. Starting last month, the electricity bills suddenly dropped to more than 200! We are still talking about whether the electricity has been stolen and we need to come to check it out!"

Shen Le smiled sarcastically. In fact, he did not steal electricity, but God knows how many people lived there before, but now he lives alone...

And last month, only one room was equipped with air conditioning. The air conditioning was not turned on in the bathroom, and was not used in the kitchen at all. When leaving the yard at night, I relied on my mobile phone for lighting.

With this kind of electricity load, he pays more than 200 in electricity bills a month. This is because his air conditioner is always on 24 hours a day and never turned off.

"Now I understand... Okay, the line is pulled, and it won't be reduced to a 100 kilowatt line for you anyway. Just use it how you want!"

Shen Le sweats profusely.

So, you may be able to hide supernatural phenomena, abnormal conditions, etc. from the police, or you may be able to hide them from Bureau of Abnormal Affairs.

However, when you pull up the bills for water, electricity, gas, telecommunications, and cable TV, you feel something is wrong...

The two of them talked and talked along the way. The car made many twists and turns and drove to Shangtian Village in just over an hour.

Shen Le waved and got out of the car. Sure enough, he saw a Wuling Hongguang parked at the entrance of the village. Senior Martial Brother Zhuang Boyang stuck his head out from the passenger seat and waved vigorously:

"Come on, come on! Get in the car! I'm waiting for you!"

Shen Le put the mountaineering bag and large carryall at the back, piled together with a pile of Paint, wood, and various medicines. The almighty Wuling Hongguang immediately turned around and started running happily:

"Senior Martial Brother? How far do we have to go?"

"It's not that far, half an hour. The main reason is that the mountain road is not easy to walk, and without a car, these things can't be pulled up."

Not only are the mountain roads difficult to walk, but flat land in the mountains is also very rare, with a small area in the east and a small area in the west.

Shen Le and Senior Brother Zhuang chatted carefully and found out that this village has more than 100 households and 700 to 800 people. They are actually divided into four village groups and live in four different settlements.

What they want to go to is the settlement with the highest altitude and the deepest into the mountain. After climbing another mountain, it is the ancient village they want to repair...

"Ah... I'm going to run to death again this time..." Shen Le rubbed his legs vigorously:

"Climbing the mountain twice a day, my God, the boss wants to train our legs again!"

"Be content, at least I didn't ask you to carry wood." Senior Martial Brother replied with a smile:

"Work harder, work quickly, and try to finish it before the end of the summer vacation. When school starts, we have to go back. We have to show up in school after all!"

Fortunately, when we arrived at the settlement, it was already dark, and the instructor and his two junior brothers had already gone down the mountain carrying their tools.

Shen Le was exempted from climbing the Shanyue ridge that day. He only had to go up half the mountain, carried the tools for the instructor, and walked back with him. As he walked, he listened to the instructor talk about the work this time:

"This ancient building is quite valuable. We checked the information and found that it was built in the Ming Dynasty. It was the mountain residence of a local Jinshi after he returned home. It was later expanded successively.

The architectural style combines the local characteristics of Zhejiang and Fujian, and is of certain value for studying the evolution of folk culture and architectural techniques..."

The old man is 63 years old this year and will retire in two years. However, the old man has been working all year round and looks thin, but the muscles in his arms are strong and bulging. He looks more muscular than Shen Le.

He was holding a bamboo stick in one hand and kept gesticulating the structure of the famous house with the other. He was walking swiftly on the sloping and winding mountain road, and he was talking non-stop.

Shen Le looked at him like this and was a little worried that he would slip. He turned on the headlights and stretched out a hand to help him, but he slapped him away:

"What have you been busy with lately? Reviewing for the exam? Don't let your majors fall behind! - In this way, we have finished measuring today, and you are responsible for the drawing!"

What can Shen Le say besides nodding? After dinner, I chatted with my Senior Martial Brother brothers for a while, then opened my notebook and got ready to work.

Just when I opened the CAD software, my eyes suddenly went dark, and my entire field of vision dimmed:

What's wrong?

What memory did you get caught up in?

I haven't touched any old items yet!
