When night falls, the silent earth is illuminated by the tranquil moonlight. Beside the beautiful pond surrounded by green bamboo, an ancient and mysterious pavilion stands there quietly, as if silently guarding a secret sealed by the years, which makes people feel a deep awe. At this time, we gathered in front of this mysterious altar. The jade pendant in my hand seemed to take away all the curses, but it filled our hearts with confusion and confusion. Song Zihan gently stroked the mysterious symbol on the altar and asked doubtfully: "Dear Mr. Hawthorne, have you successfully solved the curse? But why do you still look so worried and uneasy?" He picked up a piece of bamboo leaf, thought deeply and said: "Although the curse has been broken, the secrets hidden behind it are still unpredictable. We need to go deep underground to find the real truth." Song Zian clenched his fists firmly, and he said firmly: "We must not give up, we must reveal all the secrets in our family history." After we returned to the study, we spread the family tree, letters and maps on the table for careful study. Song Zihan noticed the name of his ancestor and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "It turns out that our ancestor is actually a person called 'Guardian'!" This discovery surprised Song Zihan because it represents the history and mission of their family. I looked at the collected information in front of me, but I still couldn't find any clues about the meaning of "Guardian". I picked up the pen and paper in my hand, stared at the beautiful scenery from the window, and kept thinking about the truth behind it all. I thought for a long time, and finally couldn't wait to ask him: "Excuse me, what does 'Guardian' mean?" Song Zian's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said excitedly: "Do our ancestors know the secret of this curse? Maybe they even know how to remove the curse?" They stared at each other, their hearts full of shock and curiosity. It turned out that this seemingly ordinary iron box was the key to opening the secret door of the Song family. Just as they were concentrating on studying the iron box, there was a gentle knock on the door. They immediately stood up alertly and opened the door carefully. The old gardener anxiously told Mr. Hawthorne: "Dear Mr. Hawthorne, something strange happened in our garden tonight." What a strange thing! As soon as the two of them entered the yard, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. This scene was really puzzling. The bamboo forest in the yard turned yellow like a carpet, and other flowers and plants could not withstand the cold wind. The atmosphere in the garden with gusts of cold wind seemed extremely strange. Song Zihan shouted in surprise: "Is the curse not completely lifted?" They carefully observed the bamboos along the bamboo forest path, starting from their growth status, texture direction and soil moisture, trying to find possible reasons and evidence. After careful observation and analysis, they finally found some unusual marks left on the roots of some bamboos, which were obviously done intentionally. These marks did not seem to be caused by the natural environment, but more like someone deliberately dug out the bamboo and buried it back to its original place, causing the bamboo to be unable to grow normally. These evidences further deepened their doubts and confusion, and also made them angry and dissatisfied. In the bamboo forest, Song Zian clenched his fists tightly and asked angrily: "Who would do such a thing?" His voice echoed in the bamboo forest for a long time. Suddenly, a bold guess came to his mind: "Could it be the accomplices of the mysterious person? They know that the curse has been lifted, so they will take new actions?" They launched a comprehensive search in the garden and finally found the iron box in a pit deep in the bamboo forest. Song Zihan asked in a trembling voice: "Mr. Hawthorne, what is in this box?" He carefully picked up the iron box and felt its heavy weight. He frowned and said: "It seems that this mysterious person left this box to hide an important secret." Song Zian reminded them that this might be a well-designed trap and they should be extra careful. They nodded in agreement, wrapped the lid of the iron box with a handkerchief, and then carefully opened it. When they opened the box and saw the documents and notes inside, they couldn't help but be surprised. The note said: "The truth is deeper than you can imagine." Song Zihan held my hand tightly, with a look of fear on his face, and asked nervously: "What does this sentence mean? Are the troubles we are facing far from over?" He took a deep breath, then looked up at the note and answered firmly: "In fact, this journey has just begun. The secrets hidden in the bamboo garden are far deeper than we can understand now." Song Zian turned his head to look at the withered bamboo forest, and said in a low and powerful tone: "We must continue to dig deeper until we find the answers to all the questions." In this silent bamboo forest, the iron box lay there quietly, as if leading us to an unknown abyss. As descendants of the Song family, our road is destined to be longer and more tortuous. 0
