Chapter 20: Secrets

At this time, she held the jade pendant and closed her eyes, her mind moved slightly, wanting to enter the space.

But!

When I opened my eyes again, I was still in this small garden, although it was cold in winter, my grandfather raised flowers that were suitable for growing in winter, and they were much inferior to summer.

Looking down at the jade pendant in the palm of his hand, it didn't move, and Su Zhiyi was not able to enter his space.

Su Zhiyi was already able to accept this jade pendant's ineffective state, so he found a place to sit down.

She is wearing the most popular cotton jacket at the moment, which Xia Wenfang specially bought for her in the city, maybe it is really popular in this era, but after 20 years, it is 20 yuan a piece on the roadside stall, and she looks like one of the members of the red sorghum model team.

My grandfather probably really liked this little yard, so he deliberately cleaned it spotlessly.

"Miss Tang Tang, it's windy in the yard, why don't you hurry into the house?" someone under the porch was greeting her, and she did feel a little cold after sitting for a while, so she nodded and stood up and walked over there.

When passing by the small pavilion, Su Zhiyi suddenly saw a small house, which was a little dilapidated and low, which was very different from the architectural style in this courtyard.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, what is that house for?" Su Zhiyi had come to Xia's house countless times, and he really hadn't paid attention to the existence of this house before.

Looking from the outside, she only felt that something seemed to be shrouded in the sky above it, and she didn't know if it was because of her vision or something else, she seemed to see this house in a mist.

When Sister-in-law Zhang saw her mention the house, a trace of horror flashed between her eyebrows, as if she was surprised by something.

"What's wrong, Sister-in-law Zhang?" Su Zhiyi sensed that something was wrong with Sister-in-law Zhang, so he asked her.

Sister-in-law Zhang snorted: "No...... It's nothing! It's windy outside, so you might as well get inside. ”

As she spoke, Sister-in-law Zhang quickened her pace and walked in front of herself, obviously avoiding something.

Her behavior made Su Zhiyi even more curious, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances at the house.

The footsteps did not stop, only slowly followed behind Sister-in-law Zhang, and followed her along the corridor of the long pavilion into the house.

As soon as she entered the room, Sister-in-law Zhang retracted her face, which was almost pale with fright, and then led Su Zhiyi into the living room casually.

Xia Dongxiang was playing chess with his daughter, and when he saw Su Zhiyi entering the house, he put down the chess pieces and greeted him with some distress: "Tang Tang, your health is getting better now, but you can't suffer the wind outside!"

"Grandpa, it's okay, my physique looks sturdy. Su Zhiyi laughed at himself.

Xia Dongxiang frowned: "How do you say this, I see that you have lost a lot of weight recently!"

As soon as his words fell, Su Zhiyi burst out laughing: "Grandpa, such a person with bad eyesight is you!"

"By the way, grandpa, what is that little house in the backyard for?" Su Zhiyi suddenly remembered the small house he had just seen in the backyard.

After listening to Su Zhiyi's question, Sister-in-law Zhang on the side obviously stiffened, and even Old Man Xia's complexion changed a little.

Su Zhiyi has lived for two lives, and if she doesn't know that observing words and colors will be considered a vain life, she clearly felt that the air froze all of a sudden.

"Grandpa......"

Su Zhiyi continued to ask, but was interrupted by Old Man Xia with a cold face: "Tang Tang, don't mention that room to me again in the future! Don't try to get in! Remember no." ”

Su Zhiyi wanted to say something, but after seeing his grandfather's frosty face, he swallowed all the words that came to his mouth back into his stomach.

All the questions and confusion came to his mouth, and they all became: "Grandpa, I know ......"

Xia Wenfang on the side saw that their grandparents and grandchildren were not good-looking, so they played a round in the middle: "Dad, Tangtang, she didn't mean it, as for what kind of house you don't let her in, she naturally won't dare to go in." ”

"Tang Tang, she listens to you the most, you have never spoken to her with such a cold face, it really scares her. ”

Xia Wenfang's words made Xia Dongxiang's face soften a little, and he also complained a little about himself, since Tang Tang was born, he had never spoken to her like this, and he had always held this only granddaughter in his hand for fear of falling off, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth.

"Just remember not to mention that room again. After leaving this sentence, Xia Dongxiang turned around and went upstairs.

Su Zhiyi looked at her grandfather's back and looked at her mother with some doubts, Xia Wenfang only shook her head when she looked at her, indicating that she was not very clear about some things.

When Su Zhiyi took his mother's hand and walked out of Xia's house, he was not finally willing to ask in a whisper until he had walked a long way:

"Mom, what's wrong with Grandpa, what's the secret of that house?"

"Why don't I remember the house you mentioned?" Xia Wenfang got married early, at the age of twenty, she grew up with her grandmother in the countryside in the years before she got married, and she was not picked up until she was seventeen years old.

The impression of the Xia family's old mansion only stayed in the few days when he came back to live during the New Year's holidays, and he really didn't walk around the Xia family carefully.

After getting married, although she often ran to her parents' house because she was close, she also accompanied Su Zhiyi back for a meal, and she didn't like to play with flowers and plants, so she wouldn't take the Xia family's backyard seriously.

Su Zhiyi listened to his mother's question and nodded: "To be honest, I haven't seen that house before, it seems to appear out of thin air, so I feel strange." ”

"Anyway, since your grandfather is not happy for you to mention it, you should not mention the matter of that room in front of your grandfather in the future, you know?"

Xia Wenfang told her softly, she knew how short-tempered her father was, and she was afraid that Tang Tang would accidentally touch his bottom line.

Su Zhiyi didn't hear the answer he wanted to hear, nodded a little disappointed, and obediently followed his mother away.

As she walked, she looked back at the gate of the Xia family, as if she could see something hanging over the Xia family.

And the jade pendant in his arms suddenly seemed to be alive as soon as he went out, making Su Zhiyi feel its spiritual power again.

Ever since she got the jade pendant, she always felt as if there was a clear spring bubbling in her heart, making her feel more peaceful and open-minded than ever before.

Su Zhiyi spent the morning finally giving a new definition to this feeling, and she called this subtle feeling in her heart the connection between her and Lingyu.

When she was in the Xia family just now, she couldn't feel the breath of the spirit jade at all, and now she suddenly felt the spirituality of the spirit jade again.

Stopping, Su Zhiyi turned his head and frowned at the Xia family's mansion, always feeling that there was something invisibly separating the connection between her and Lingyu just now.
