373: Old House
Chi Xu was only surprised for a moment, although the Chi family's mansion was not as exaggerated as the old mansion of the Ji family, it was also one of the best, and Chi Xu quickly began to appreciate it.
The bulky door was much larger than the usual opening, but it was not completely open, not even half a door.
"The doors are rarely opened. Ji Bai raised his feet and stepped over the high threshold, talking to Chi Xu as he entered the house. The old mansion will only be open in a very important period, the last time it was opened was when the last elder died, Ji Bai opened the coffin to move the coffin to the Ji family tomb, and it has never been opened since.
Stepping into the house, the bulky door closes automatically, sounding a bit like a shadow of a haunted house. It's just that as the door closed, the dark house suddenly appeared from the ground, from the flowers and trees, from the tables and chairs and other things that can be seen with the naked eye.
"Huh?"
Ji Bai was also stunned by this scene, looked around with a confused face, muttered in a low voice, "It's actually like this", and then turned his head to look at Chi Xu, almost burned by the other party's eyes that were burning with fire at the extreme. She moved her lips, and was about to explain, when she saw Chi Xu leaning over and pressing her forehead against hers, her vision and snort were all about each other.
“...... I was so romantic by you, Xiaobai, you have learned badly now. ”
The deep voice made Ji Bai's heart suddenly feel numb, her eyelashes trembled, and she wanted to explain that "this is all the prohibition set by the elders" but she subconsciously didn't say it.
"What is bad. ”
"Huh. Chi Xu chuckled lightly when he heard this, and the more he laughed, Ji Bai could feel the vibration of his chest, and the other party's hearty laughter was in his ears, "How can you be so cute." ”
Ji Bai was silent, his face gradually began to heat up, he turned his face away uncomfortably, and whispered, "How can it be cute".
Seeing Ji Bai's appearance, Chi Xu's heart melted, he widened the distance between the two slightly, kissed the corner of Ji Bai's eyes, and said, "Let's go, didn't you say that you still want to go shopping, it will be too late later." ”
Ji Bai raised his eyes and looked at Chi Xu, raised his hand and touched the corner of his eye, turned around and walked inside, the blue fluorescence around him floated beside the two, as if observing the two of them, most of them would touch him lightly when Chi Xu was walking, and he would leave as soon as he touched it, making people just think that he had accidentally bumped into him.
Ji Bai, who was walking in front, swept his gaze slightly over these blue fluorescent dots, pursed his lower lip, and skimmed to the big hand that wrapped his hand, retracted his thoughts, and walked to the door of the Ji family's ancestral hall with Chi Xu. As if knowing that they would come, the candles and lanterns in the ancestral hall were all lit, and I thought there were people living in the house.
"I'm alone at home, and it's all a trick of the older generation. Noticing that Chi Xu was looking at the ancestral hall, Ji Bai opened his mouth to explain, and then looked behind Chi Xu, and those blue fluorescent dots disappeared, as if what they saw when they came over just now was a dream.
Chi Xu also noticed this, but he didn't think much about it, he thought it was made up by Ji Bai from beginning to end, and spontaneously labeled it as "romance between lovers", which made him feel happy.
As everyone knows, this is actually a method for the older generation of the Ji family to check the character and talent of people with foreign surnames, although the person has passed away, but the soul is still left behind, that is an obsession with the Ji family, and the obsession of wanting to protect the Ji family, almost every deceased Ji family member will more or less have some soul wandering in the old house.
Maybe one night I'll meet it somewhere in the old house.
And this test of the method of checking people with foreign surnames, not every person with a foreign surname who enters the Ji family can enjoy this treatment, only if the person with a foreign surname has the breath of the Ji family, they will enjoy it.
Chi Xu didn't know that he had been touched by the ancestors of the Ji family all the way.
"Come, come in with me. ”
Ji Bai pulled Chi Xu and led people into the inner room of the ancestral hall, separated by a huge screen, behind which were many tablets, row after row, and people couldn't help but be solemn.
"This is my mother. Ji Bai pointed to a tablet engraved with the word "Ji Hui" and said to Chi Xu, and then moved his finger to point to another "Ji Hui's husband" next to the tablet, "This is my father." ”
Chi Xu first solemnly bowed three times to the two tablets, and then expressed his doubts to Ji Bai, shouldn't this tablet have a name written on it, how did it have an identity, it looks a bit like a feminist family........
"Because I'm afraid that my father's family will be dealt with. ”
Most of the things that the Ji family does deal with the most vicious monsters, so naturally there are a lot of hostilities, and these hostile ones may be monsters or humans, in short, the range is a bit wide. If the Ji family comes up with revenge, they are not afraid, they should be beaten and beaten, if the strength is too weak and accidentally destroyed, there will be the Ji family to avenge you.
It's a family that quickly gets into revenge.
Of course, this is all the style before the appearance of people with foreign surnames in the Ji family, and they are fearless. I don't know which generation of elders met love, and they wanted to be with people with foreign surnames, and then the Ji family successively added a lot of people with foreign surnames, and in order to protect their partners and their partners' families, the style of the Ji family slowly changed.
Even this enshrined tablet is not good to be named directly.
As soon as Ji Bai explained slightly, Chi Xu understood, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"My dad is the genealogy that my mom gave the routine, but my grandfather is angry with them, they don't like the people in my dad's family. ”
"Huh?"
"Daddy's side doesn't look down on my mom. Shrugging his shoulders, Ji Bai took out the leftover pastries he ate from his pocket and put them in front of the two tablets, "I don't like them either." ”
Chi Xu looked at Ji Bai's movements, silent, and reached out to get the pastry back, it was really disrespectful to the elders to do so, as if he had telepathy, Ji Bai grabbed Chi Xu's hand, "It's okay, they don't like to eat this, I just mean it." ”
Since returning to the old mansion, or Monster Street, Ji Bai has become much more lively, and his temperament is no longer as restrained and light as Chi Xu's memory. Last time I was in Yuehe Town, Ji Bai was the same, it seems that the little girl is still more open in a familiar place.
Ji Bai insisted, Chi Xu didn't want to say anything, pondering what Ji Bai said before, he was a little puzzled, "I remember that you lived in your grandmother's house for a while, and then she died, so you came to me." ”
