Grandpa shook his head and sat weakly on the stool in the incense hall, I looked at my grandfather and asked:

"Grandpa, do you know who stole our things?"

Grandpa was noncommittal, and then Mom and Dad heard the voice coming out of the house and saw Grandpa sitting on a stool in the incense hall, and I was standing aside.

"Dad, what's the matter, what are you doing here, the windows are still open, how cold it is, be careful of freezing and catching a cold. Dad said and draped his clothes over Grandpa.

I heard my dad and immediately closed the window.

"The paintings let them steal it. Grandpa whispered.

"Who stole it, what did they steal the painting for. Mom asked suspiciously.

"It's too cold here, let's go to our house first. Dad said, and helped Grandpa to his parents' bedroom.

Grandpa sat on the bed, Dad sat down beside him, and Mom and I sat on the stool.

"A thief stole our ancestral painting just now. I whispered to my mother.

"Grandpa seems to know the origin of this thief. I added.

"Then call the police and catch the thief!" said the mother angrily.

"It's useless, the police can only see, who stole it, I don't know, no need to call the police. Grandpa sighed.

"I'm tired, let's sleep, I'll talk about it tomorrow, it's useless to sit here. Grandpa took off his father's coat and got up and walked outside.

"Knock knock, you help grandpa back to the room. "Dad told me.

I got up and helped my grandfather downstairs on the way back to the room, I wanted to tell my grandfather about the ghost I saw, but grandpa had a lonely expression, I didn't say it, grandma waited in the house for grandpa didn't sleep, and when he entered the room, grandpa shook his head at grandma, grandma seemed to know something and didn't speak.

Grandpa turned to me and said, "Knock knock, tomorrow you take that girl to the ancestral hall with me." ”

"Oh, do you still have Sun Shiqi with you?" I was a little puzzled, the ancestral hall was just a place for the family to go, and outsiders were generally not allowed to go inside.

"With that girl, she can dream of the scene in the painting, which means that she has a relationship with our Xian family. Take her with you. Grandpa affirmed.

"Oh, okay. "I saw my grandfather go to bed, so I went back to the fourth floor.

I went into Sun Shiqi's bedroom and turned on the light, she was still wrapped in the quilt, motionless, I patted her gently, but she was startled.

"Get out of the covers, coward, the ghost is gone. I scared her and said.

Sun Shiqi slowly leaked her head out of the quilt, looked at me with big frightened eyes and said, "Are you really gone?"

"Of course, you're still waiting for him to tell you ghost stories!" I jokingly told her.

"Why don't I tell you a ghost story!"

"Nasty, you go away. Sun Shiqi looked around and pouted at me.

It's so cute to watch her pout.

"I don't need to be with you anymore. I said to her in a playful tone.

"Hurry up, or I'll kick you out the door." She stretched a foot out of the quilt and feigned anger.

I hurried to the bedroom door and made a face at her that you can't hit me.

"By the way, Grandpa asked you to go to the ancestral hall with me tomorrow. You get up early, you have something to call me. I said to Sun Shiqi, gently closed the bedroom door, and returned to my own bedroom.

When I got back to my bedroom, I lay on the bed and thought about the ghost, it was so big, how could anyone make such a big illusion, and I remembered that the cloud I saw on the mountain this morning was so huge, could it be the illusion summoned by the person who got out of the accident vehicle.

Why did they steal the wooden sword and the painting, did they also know the secret of the wooden sword and the painting?

When I opened my eyes again, it was almost half past seven, I got up to go to wash, and when I went out, I saw that Sun Shiqi's bedroom door was open, and she had already gone downstairs.

I walked to the bathroom with sleepy eyes, and threw water on my face, so cold! This water is the spring water from the mountain flowing into the village and is being delivered to the houses, and my sleepiness is wiped out by the cold and biting spring water.

I looked out of the bathroom window and saw Sun Shiqi pressing her legs downstairs, and her grandmother was feeding the chickens while she said something.

I went back to the bedroom to change my clothes and went downstairs, my mother was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and my grandfather and father were watching TV.

"You get up, you get up late every day, and I don't know what time you go to bed at night, you see Kiki get up and go downstairs to exercise, isn't it good for you to get up early and exercise for a while?" came the nagging sound of my mother from the kitchen.

I just ran to the yard, moved my body, walked to Sun Shiqi's side and said:

"You woke up so early, did you sleep well last night?"

"It was you who woke up late, and last night, well, slept okay. "She didn't look at me, she just pressed her legs.

"Oh, I didn't dream of ghosts. I whispered a chuckle at her.

Sun Shiqi stopped pressing her legs, took a step back, turned her head to stare at me, my heart was furious, what was she going to do.

Suddenly, Sun Shiqi raised her leg and kicked her foot next to the left side of my face and stopped, her shoe less than a centimeter away from my face.

"If you say anything more, I'll massage your face with my shoes. ”

"Just when I didn't say anything, you're amazing, I can't beat you, I admit it!" I smiled and said to her, brushing her feet away with my hands, Sun Shiqi put down her feet and started her leg press again.

Grandma was also startled when she saw Sun Shiqi's movements, and slowly walked over and said:

"Girl, knock knock what are you doing. ”

"It's okay, grandma, we're joking, you can get busy. I hurriedly explained to my grandmother.

"Girl, don't kick it to the ground, it scares me to death. "Grandma looked at me and then at Sun Shiqi, and then went to feed the chickens again.

"You are a beauty, can you not be so violent, so who else dares to chase you. I stretched out my arms and said to Sun Shiqi.

"You don't have to worry about it, I like to be alone, and you'd better not mess with me. Sun Shiqi said, starting to practice front kicks and side kicks.

"Then don't be surprised all the time, I'm going to be like you. "I want to remind Sun Shiqi how she looked last night.

"I'm afraid of ghosts, but I'm not afraid of people. She said, turning her head to look at me.

"You're not afraid of that pervert. I ran into the house after I said that, I knew she was going to kick me, so I guessed right, and when I said this she threw me in the direction.

I stood at the door of the living room and grimaced at her and entered the house, where my mother had already prepared breakfast.

"Knock knock, you can tell Kiki and Grandma to come in for dinner. ”

"Oh, okay. I answered and shouted outside the house for them to come in and eat.

When Sun Shiqi entered the house, I still looked at me viciously, and I hid next to my father and sat down away from her.

"Knock knock, what did you just say to Kiki? Dad asked.

"Nothing, let her teach me taekwondo. I replied while looking at Sun Shiqi, who had already replied to the gentle appearance of the little girl.

"This girl's legs can kick so high, she almost kicked Dong Dong in the face just now. Grandma complained.

"Grandma, she's playing around with me, it's okay, grandpa, when are we going to the ancestral hall." I hurriedly digressed the subject.

"You, the three-legged cat's kung fu, you should let Kiki teach you, let her fix you well, and see that you are not serious. Mom suddenly interjected.

Sun Shiqi looked at me with a smile on her face, and I knew she was laughing at me.

"Mom, is there such a thing as you? let her fix me, then if I am repaired by her, you will not be raised. I said with some grievances.

"Kiki, you can fix him first, as long as you don't kill him, let him be so unserious. Mom said with some annoyance.

"Yes, Aunt Yan, I promise not to kill him. Sun Shiqi smiled happily and said that the three words that killed him in the end were said word by word with gritted teeth.

"Dad, look at my mother, is this my own mother?" I had to ask my father for help.

"You take care of yourself, knock knock, dad gives you moral support. Dad said with a smile.

I'm also speechless, my mother has the final say, and my father is a good man.

"I'm the one who suffers. I said to myself.

"Knock knock, girl, eat quickly, and go to the ancestral hall together after eating. Grandpa spoke at this point.

After our family had dinner, my grandfather took me and Sun Shiqi out, and Sun Shiqi and I set off to the ancestral hall on the left and right of our grandfather, and on the way I asked my grandfather:

"Grandpa, do you know who stole our family's wooden sword and paintings?"

Grandpa thought for a moment, nodded, and shook his head again.

"Last night a huge shadow came to our house, with two lantern-like eyes. "I talked to my grandfather about the ghost I saw yesterday.

Grandpa stopped, looked at me and said, "Really." ”

I nodded, and then looked at Sun Shiqi, and she nodded too.

"I'm afraid it's really them. Grandpa said and continued to lead us forward.

"Who's coming?" I asked, a little uneasy.

"I'll be talking to you at the ancestral hall for a while, and your grandfather will also go there for a while, so that he can tell you the story of our Xian family. Grandpa said as he took Sun Shiqi's hands and me.

People who meet grandpa on the road will say, Lao Xian, where are you taking your grandson and granddaughter-in-law, grandpa didn't answer, my heart is beautiful, because grandpa can't see her expression between me and Sun Shiqi, it is estimated that it is ugly, but the more embarrassed she is, the happier I am.

Grandpa Tai is already almost a hundred years old, his health is fine, Grandpa has three younger brothers and a younger sister, he is the eldest in the family, and Grandpa Tai and the second master live together.

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the ancestral hall, where was the grandfather already waiting, the ancestral hall enshrined the ranking of the ancestors of the Xian family, we greeted the grandfather, first burned incense for the ancestors' rank, and then sat down in the side room.

Grandpa looked at Sun Shiqi, then at grandpa, grandpa knew what grandpa wanted to ask, so he said:

"This girl can dream of the scene in the painting, so I brought her here, I guess she has some relationship with our Xian family, otherwise she would not dream of painting and come here. ”

Grandpa nodded, and looked at Sun Shiqi carefully, seeing that Sun Shiqi was a little embarrassed.

"Knock knock, I called you here today, first, you are sixteen years old, and second, because you are the eldest grandson of the eldest house, so I want to tell you something about the family"

Sun Shiqi seemed to feel that she was a little inconvenient here, and said:

"Grandpa, this is your family's secret, isn't it bad for me to listen here. ”

"You can dream of this painting, that is, it has a relationship with my family, this painting is not something that anyone can dream of, only the children and grandchildren of the Xian family can, and it must be the descendants of Changfang. ”

After Grandpa Tai finished speaking, Sun Shiqi was stunned for a moment and said, "Grandpa, how can I dream of that if I am not from your family." ”

"This can only be said to be fate. Grandpa said slowly.

"Yesterday the wooden swords and paintings in the house were stolen. Grandpa said to Grandpa.

Grandpa frowned and said:

"What should come will always come, don't mind too much, it's best if you can find it, if you can't find it, let them take it, it's all a family, you have taken it for thousands of years. ”

"For thousands of years, it's still a family. I thought to myself, and looked at my grandfather, and then at my grandfather.

They were calm as if they knew it was going to happen.

"Grandpa, who took the wooden sword and painting from our house. ”

Grandpa didn't answer, and continued to ask Grandpa: "How is that box, is it still there?"

"The box is still there, I asked Xiaoman (Dad's nickname) to bring it back to their house last time. Grandpa said and looked at me.

"Well, that metal box and the book are in my house, it's safe. I replied confidently to my grandfather.

"That's good, the wooden sword, the painting, and that box are three treasures handed down from the ancestors, especially that box, there is a shadow password, and it must be protected. "Grandpa looked at me as if he was relieved.

"They won't be able to find the box and will come, knock knock, you have to protect the box, that's the life of the Xian family." Grandpa said to me and patted me on the shoulder.

I suddenly felt that I had a huge responsibility, and that it was too hasty to put the small suitcase under the bed, and that I should get a safe, and I thought to myself.

"Grandpa, who are they, and what secrets are in that box, can you tell us?" I looked at Grandpa Tai with an expectant look. Sun Shiqi was also very curious, staring at her grandfather.

"Well, to know them, I'll tell you a mythical story that's completely different from what you've heard. ”

"Myths. Sun Shiqi and I glanced at each other, and then looked at Grandpa.

"What kind of myth is that?" I asked curiously.

Grandpa cleared his throat and said two words:

"Shadowland. ”
