Hu Jianming first explored lotus town, and lotus town was seriously damaged, with a high difficulty coefficient. But what he didn't expect was that the expedition cost him and he cheng, and he couldn't care less about the Lion City. He cheng was founded in 208 AD, and its construction history is longer than that of the Lion City. At that time, it was a strategic place at the junction of Zhejiang and Anhui, and the waterway transportation was very convenient. Before being razed to the ground, there were many ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
When Hu Jianming explored he cheng at the bottom of Qiandao Lake, he found a very pleasant surprise among the ruins, that is, he found a well-preserved residence in the northwest of he cheng, which is rare in the underwater he cheng. In the previous exploration, there were no residential buildings in Hu Jianming, because the water depth was over 40 meters and plankton was everywhere. This expedition, because it coincides with winter, most of the plankton have settled down, and the underwater visibility is relatively high, so Hu was discovered. This house is very luxurious, surrounded by rectangular walls. Although one roof has been completely damaged, the other three roofs are still intact.
Hu Jianming sneaked into the house from the patio in the middle of the roof and found that it was actually a two-story residential building. On the beams and wooden columns supporting the roof, there are carved brackets as the beams, and various patterns are carved around them, which is very exquisite. Strangely, although this house is mainly made of wood, the stairs connecting the second floor behind the main hall are made of stone. One side of the stairs is suspended, and the wall on the other side is inlaid with many beautiful stones. After entering the second floor, from the layout of the room, it looks like an old woman's boudoir. In addition, the gate of this residential building is well preserved, and the words "mountain screen water belt" are written on the plaque directly above the gate.
All this tells Hu Jianming that the identity of the owner of this residential building is absolutely unusual. Why do you say that? Judging from the scale and luxury of folk houses, ordinary people obviously can't afford to build them. Even without considering the value of cultural relics, millions of luxury houses are now properly placed; Judging from the plaque of "Mountain Screen Water Belt", the mountain is like a screen and the water is like a belt. Obviously, the owner of this residence should be an intellectual. Then who owns this residential building?
When Hu Jianming returned home, he decided to find its former owner for this lonely and forgotten residence that had been underwater for decades. However, this is not an easy task. Residents who moved from he cheng are now scattered all over Chun 'an County. Some of them have even died, while others have moved to other provinces. In order to find out where the original residents of Chuhe City moved, Hu Jianming used his spare time to look for information in Chun 'an County Archives. After more than a week's efforts, Hu Jianming identified the location of the house as Xujiayuan Village through the map of he cheng in the archives.
Later, he found from the relevant materials of resettlement in Xujiayuan Village that not all the residents of Xujiayuan Village moved to other places, but some just moved to the mountains around he cheng. Now there is indeed a Sanhe village on the highland around Qiandao Lake. Could the owner of the underwater house be in Sanhe Village? Unfortunately, Hu Jianming visited Sanhe Village with printed photos, but no one admitted that it used to be his own house, and even some old people failed to get the clue of underwater residence. Every time Hu Jianming asks hopefully, "Do you remember this house?" Wait until the answer means nothing but no.
