Chapter 868: Long Po

Long Po looked Yang Xianmao up and down, and laughed with a pout, Long Po's teeth were almost gone, no wonder the whole cheek was sinking. She wears a gold collar around her neck, which is a valuable item in terms of pattern and color. The fact that an old woman in this family can wear such a precious gold collar is enough to prove that the financial resources of this family are still relatively strong.

Long Po squinted at Yang Xianmao and said, "Although you have grown so big, Long Po still recognizes you. You look exactly like your dad did when he was younger, what a family, come on in. ”

Yang Xianmao answered, glanced back at Luo Xiaomei and said, "Why don't you go back first, I'll come to you when I'm done." Anyway, it will be in the same city in the future, and it will be convenient to meet in the future. ”

Before Luo Xiaomei could speak, the dragon woman seemed to have guessed what Luo Xiaomei wanted to stay, so she smiled and said, "Since you are here, come in and sit down." This girl, you are a friend of our eldest young master, right? You are so handsome, come in, there has been no one in this house for many years. ”

Luo Xiaomei stood there stunned, as if she didn't understand the old lady's words. Yang Xianmao said to her, Long Po told you to go in, so you can go in with me. ”

With that, he stepped in. Looking at the gold collar worn by Long Po's neck, he said, "Old man, your ring is so beautiful." ”

"Haha, this ring has been on me for decades. If you like it, I'll give it to you. ”

Yang Xianmao hurriedly said: "I don't want it, thank you mother-in-law." ”

Luo Xiaomei looked at Yang Xianmao with a puzzled face, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally followed her in.

Yang Xianmao looked around curiously and asked, "Mother-in-law, this mansion has not been inhabited for many years, right?"

"Dead! All dead! I'm the only one left. Just wait for the time, the eldest young master will come to me, and I will give him the house, and I will cut off this burden, and I can go with them. ”

As soon as he heard this, Yang Xianmao couldn't help but feel a tingling of his scalp. "What's going on?"

Although he knew that the family must have made a mistake, he still wanted to ask the truth, especially how Long Po knew his name.

"Just five years ago, there was a plague here, and many people died in Longzhou at that time. None of your third uncle and his family survived, all of them died, and only my life was left to escape this catastrophe. I have been a maid and an old mother in your third uncle's house since I was a child, this family is like my own family, and your third uncle treats me like his own relatives. He was the last to die, and before he died, he told me that if one day you came to him, I would give you this house. Because you are a member of the Yang family, our Yang family is only a man for you. If you don't hand over this family business, who will you hand it over? It's just that I waited for five years before you came to find it, and I have been looking forward to it day and night all these years, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to expect you to come! Fortunately, you are here. ”

Yang Xianmao understood a little, it seemed that this old lady had waited too long, and finally saw a person who came to the door and was about the same age. After all, after all these years, the old man recognized the wrong person in a daze. But the strange thing is that she actually called out her own name, could it be that the eldest young master she was waiting for was really called Yang Xianmao? The same name and surname as herself? Then this is really too coincidental.

Although the door opened from the side door, the old lady led them to the front door. Walking to the front, Yang Xianmao realized that this was a very large courtyard. But when it got there, Yang Xianmao was stupid. Because in the front yard there are a row of tombstones, and there are tombstones. The ground was covered with grass that had begun to turn yellow, and the grave was covered with grass half a man high, and it seemed that the old lady was too old to clean it, and even the grave was covered with weeds, and she did not clean it up.

Of course, Yang Xianmao will not have too special feelings about the tomb, because he is originally dealing with dead people.

But Luo Xiaomei was different, she looked at Yang Xianmao with a pale face. He took a few steps back and held on to a big tree beside him, so he didn't fall.

The old woman sighed, pointed to the last and largest grave, and said, "That is your third uncle's grave, and the others are your aunts, aunts, cousins, cousins, and others." Including the old hill that opened the door, they all died, and the other maids and servants ran away as early as when they discovered the plague. ”

Long Po walked to a small tomb, patted the tombstone made of bluestone slabs and said, "This is your cousin, do you remember? When you were a child, you played hide and seek in this courtyard, but there was no way, this courtyard was too big, you hid in the grass, and they couldn't find it." By the time I found you, you fell asleep. scared your father and your third uncle enough, and for this, your cousin and cousin were also beaten. You are not allowed to play hide and seek here, hehehehe, it was so happy for the family to be together at that time!"

When Yang Xianmao heard this, he felt a chill run down his spine. This is obviously a story he made up casually on the road just now, and it has never happened before. He just made up this story and told Luo Xiaomei, but now it actually came out of the mouth of this dragon woman, as if the dragon woman was hiding behind him just now and eavesdropping.

But how is this possible? At that time, the street around me was quiet, and there were basically no pedestrians, especially Yang Xianmao still clearly remembered that there were no other people around when they said this. Is it really the hell? Yang Xianmao subconsciously glanced at the shadow that had dragged behind Long Po, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This dragon woman has a shadow, which means that she should not be a ghost, because it is said that ghosts have no shadows.

Long Po said: "That time really scared the family. Especially the old lady, she is going crazy, for fear that something will happen to the eldest young master. Speaking of which, the old lady is the most distressed about you, the eldest young master. After all, your mother died early, and your father didn't care much. When I was a child, I was taken care of by an old lady. It's a pity that the good people are not rewarded, and the old lady knows that she can't be saved after suffering from the plague, and she doesn't want to die in bed. I secretly hanged myself by myself, and I hung myself from the big tree you were holding onto. ”

Yang Xianmao glanced back at Luo Xiaomei, and saw that she was trembling with fright, and hurriedly said to Long Po: "Mother-in-law, don't talk about this, it's weird and scary." I don't remember any of these things anymore. ”

Long Po said: "Of course, you were still young at that time, how can you remember so much. Okay, you come with me, I have something for you. I've been waiting five years to give this to you. ”

With that, Long Po bent her back, turned around and walked slowly into the hall. Yang Xianmao and Luo Xiaomei glanced at each other, and also followed behind Long Po. Luo Xiaomei was frightened by this terrifying atmosphere, and didn't dare to leave Yang Xianmao half a step, and hurriedly followed her into the lobby.

Long Po walked into the lobby, which was also deserted. There was a thick layer of dust on the floor, and the two rows of chairs in the hall proved how prosperous the family had been. At the moment, the chairs were also full of dust, and some of them were still falling with dead leaves.

Further inside, Luang Po went around to the screen at the back of the hall, where there was a back door. Exiting through the back door is a road, and both sides of the road are covered with wild grass. There is a mansion in front of it, which is the inner house here, and it was the family who should have lived in it before. The door of the inner house was ajar, and the dragon woman gently pushed the door open, and the door made a very jerky creaking sound, and slowly opened. Although Long Po's movements were already very gentle, they still raised a cloud of dust on the ground.

Long Po stepped over the threshold and walked in, followed by Yang Xianmao. After entering the mansion, he froze, what kind of inner house is this? The whole is an old ancestral hall that has been barren for a long time, because there are lush barren grasses everywhere, and they have begun to turn yellow after autumn.

One of the doors inside had fallen off and was leaning over the door. Most of the window paper has been pierced, and after the wind blows, it flutters like a butterfly ready to take off. There was actually a birdcage hanging under the corridor of the main house of the inner house, and when I approached Yang Xianmao, I saw clearly that there was a bird's white bones in the birdcage. The bird's feathers had long since turned to ashes, and only a small white skeleton remained.

This scene made Yang Xianmao tremble with fright, and turned her head to look at Luo Xiaomei, she was obviously very nervous and scared, and kept following Yang Xianmao. Yang Xianmao was also furious by the scenery in front of him, and he didn't know what was going on.

Luang Po did not enter the main house, but walked along the porch. Yang Xianmao noticed that there was a thick layer of ash on the ground, and she left clear footprints when she walked over. And there was no trace of the place she hadn't walked, and she couldn't help but murmur in her heart. Hasn't this dragon woman been here all this time, there is obviously no sign of human activity on this land. Filled with doubts, he followed behind, looking down at his clear footprints and the dust kicked up by his feet on the ground, wondering how long it would be before no one could live in it to collect such a thick layer of dust.

Somehow, a sentence came to his mind, dust to dust, dust to dust, dust to dust, and the background of this sentence turned out to be the dozen or so graves overgrown with wild grass in the front yard.

Long Po walked to a nearby room and pushed the door open with a little force. The door creaked, indicating that no one had entered it in a long time. Yang Xianmao was almost driven crazy by the sound of the door, which was even more creepy than a ghost scream.

Yang Xianmao followed in and came to a small room inside, which seemed to be a personal maid. Because it's right next to the master's bedroom, there's something to say hello in time. Long Po walked to a round table in the house, took a package from the round table, blew off the dust on it twice, and then patted the dust with her hand, and then handed the package to Yang Xianmao and said, "This is what your third uncle asked me to give to you before he died." ”

Yang Xianmao hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take it and asked, "What is this?"

"I don't know, your third uncle just said to let me stay, and I'll give you this thing when you come. ”

Yang Xianmao noticed that Long Po used the word stay, what does this mean? They did not go far away, but died to the underworld, how can they call it to stay and wait for themselves? Can this Long Po control his life and death?
