Chapter 195 [5000 Words]
At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly crossed the window, followed by a burst of thunder, and the two of them were stunned at the same time, and suddenly turned their eyes to look out of the window.
"What time is it?" Xin Yao suddenly woke up.
Gu Yufei saw that her expression was wrong, so she couldn't help but turn her head and take the alarm clock on the bedside table on the other side of the bed, and glanced at the time: "It's more than 6 o'clock, what's wrong?" β
Ji Xinyao's face sank: "More than 6 o'clock? β
She got up suddenly, walked out of the room quickly, and went downstairs to see that Wang Ma and they had prepared dinner, as if they were about to call her, and when they saw Xin Yao coming downstairs, they smiled and said: "Young lady, ask the second lady to come down to eat together, today we made the second lady's favorite sweet and sour tenderloin and young lady's favorite yellow crispy tofu." εΌΌ"
"Where's Grandpa?" Xin Yao walked over and turned her head to look at the wind outside the window, although there were a few faint lightning and thunder outside, but it was just a violent wind, no rain, but the sky was dark and dreary, darker and scary than the sky at this time on weekdays.
"Didn't the old man go to the ancestral hall? It's time to come back now...... "Wang Ma was also stunned, and glanced at the time: "Yo, what time is it, the road in the back mountain is so dark, and the old man doesn't have anything to light up in his hand, how can you walk alone, but don't have anything wrong." β
Ji Xinyao just heard the thunder, she had a bad premonition, and when she heard Wang Ma say this, she was even more worried, the old man's legs and feet were not good, and he went to the back mountain alone, the wind was so strong, and the lightning and thunder were roaring, it was really easy to be in danger.
"Grandpa won't have an accident...... Xin Yao whispered worriedly.
"Xin Yao, don't worry, I'll go to the ancestral hall to find the old man back." He Jiezhen had already put on her coat at this time, walked out of the back room, and was about to go out to find the old man.
"Mom, it's so windy outside, and it's so dark, it's not safe for you to go alone, I'll go with you." Xin Yao hurriedly turned around, picked up the coat on the sofa, put it on her body, and trotted to He Jiezhen's side.
"No, don't go out in this weather, I'll just call the old man back, the road to the ancestral hall in the back mountain is on weekdays, we have walked thousands of times, and there are stone steps, not slippery at all, nothing wrong, I see, the old man is asleep in the ancestral hall again, I just call him back."
"It's too dark, since the road in the back mountain is not slippery, let me go with you, let's go and take care of each other, otherwise, it's so dark, I don't worry about you." Xin Yao said, turned around and went out first.
"This kid." He Jiezhen smiled, but she was very pleased, turned around and told Wang Ma to wait for them, and followed Xin Yao out.
He Jiezhen was holding a flashlight in her hand, Xin Yao also used the flashlight light on her mobile phone, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, the spring breeze was biting, He Jiezhen didn't wear much, she shivered faintly, Xin Yao was about to take off her coat and give it to her: "Mom, you wear this!" β
"No, I'm fine, just don't catch a cold."
As he was talking, another thunder crossed the sky, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the two of them walked half the way, He Jiezhen suddenly said: "This weather, it looks like it's going to rain soon, I didn't take an umbrella out, the old man walked slowly, and it was bad when he walked back in the rain after a while." β
"Then I'll go to the ancestral hall first, Mom, go back and get an umbrella, and wear an extra coat by the way, don't catch a cold." Xin Yao took the flashlight and urged in a low voice.
He Jiezhen looked at the sky again, it was already night, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the stars were not seen for a long time, and sighed: "It's okay, I'll go back and get two umbrellas, don't go too fast, although the road behind us has been repaired, it's easy to walk, but it's too dark this day, you must be careful!" β
Xin Yao nodded: "Don't worry, I have measure." β
He Jiezhen turned around and left, muttering as she left: "This ghost weather ......"
Ji Xinyao casually buttoned up the coat on her body, put away her mobile phone, and took the flashlight to find the road to the back mountain that had been repaired and repaired in the direction of the ancestral hall.
At this moment, the thunder became louder and louder, the ears of the people who shook were painful, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, if it weren't for her timidity, the frightening voices coming from the wind at this moment would probably have scared her to run back.
What's more, the ancestral hall is the habitat of the ancestors of the Gu family, although she doesn't believe in anyone, ghosts, gods and Buddhas, but in this kind of sky, it is inevitable that she will gradually start to feel creepy, and she can't help but speed up her pace and quickly walk towards the Gu family's ancestral hall.
Fortunately, there was a light on the side of the ancestral hall, and after walking safely all the way to the ancestral hall, Xin Yao turned off the flashlight and walked in directly.
In fact, she has never entered the ancestral hall of the Gu family, but there is no such thing as she imagined, there are no rows and rows of spiritual positions in the TV series, and there are no candles, but there are several portraits of the ancestors of the Gu family on the wall of the exquisite and simple and solemn ancestral hall, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the early days of the Republic of China, to the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and then to the modern times, more than a dozen portraits of the ancestors are lifelike, although the ages are different, but the only thing that is the same is that each person in the painting is wearing a military uniform, In her early years, she heard that Gu Zhai was a family of several generations of soldiers, all of whom had outstanding achievements in the country, and this was the first time she saw the portraits of the ancestors in this ancestral hall, and she couldn't help but be in awe......
On the wall on the left side there are portraits of Mao's 'Lord' seat and several national leaders of that era.
People of the age of the old man still remember these deceased heroes, Ji Xinyao admits that the generation gap in the past few decades is indeed not small, but in this ancestral hall, she does have a sense of respect from the bottom of her heart, so she lightened her pace and walked in slowly.
Sure enough, what Jiezhen said, the old man slept on the recliner in the ancestral hall.
The corners of Ji Xinyao's mouth twitched, walked over, leaned down to look at the old man, heh, this old man is very shrewd, hiding here alone to find a quiet, and don't forget to hold a blanket before going to bed to avoid catching a cold.
"Why did you come here, thief?" As a result, Xin Yao was just about to touch the blanket on his body, when Old Man Gu opened his eyes and glanced at her, as if he had just woken up from a big dream.
"Grandpa, you came here by yourself and said you wanted to sit down, it's dark this day, and you won't go back?" Xin Yao squatted on the side of the recliner and said with a smile: "Don't hold your breath alone, it should be me if you want to be angry, Wen Qing is aimed at me, not at you, I'm not doing anything, you are not angry~"
"You thief girl, grandpa is protecting you, and you are teaching me a lesson in turn?" Old Man Gu snorted, sat up, and threw the blanket aside.
Ji Xinyao smiled: "I just know that grandpa you love me now, no, I'm afraid that your old man will miss dinner, so I ran over to call you, now it's windy outside, it's going to rain soon, mom just went back to get an umbrella, you have to go back with us in a while, it's too cold here in the ancestral hall, your old body can't stand it." β
"Look at who did you learn from this sweet talk?" The old man glanced at her, but seemed to be in a good mood, raised his hand to wipe his mouth, and then stood up with his cane.
Xin Yao was about to help Old Man Gu, but suddenly, there was a strange sound in front of the door, and the old man immediately frowned: "Thief girl, did you hear any sound?" β
"It seems to be...... There is a sound. Ji Xinyao also looked cautiously at the door.
The old man glanced at the front of the door, and was about to walk over with a cane, but Xin Yao grabbed him and asked softly: "Grandpa, no outsiders can come in this back mountain, right?" β
"Of course not, this back mountain is closed, and you can only walk from the backyard of Gu Mansion."
"It may be something in front of the door that has fallen, I will take a look, and I don't know if it is raining outside, you are old, you can't get drenched in the rain." With that, Xin Yao walked directly to the door.
"Hey, thief girl......"
As soon as Ji Xinyao walked to the door, she looked out cautiously first, and when she saw that there was no one, she walked out and looked around, but there was no one.
At this time, there seemed to be a cat running out of nowhere in the grass in front of him, running over the grass, and the flexible figure of the kitten suddenly jumped over, but Xin Yao was startled, and walked directly to the front and glanced at the grass.
Is she too careful?
Why do you always feel that something is wrong?
Just as she was thinking, suddenly, she heard a cracking sound behind her, and with a loud "bang", she turned around suddenly, only to see that the eaves built in front of the ancestral hall had somehow cracked a crack, and with this strange wind, there were cracks on the walls that seemed to be affected by an earthquake that were about to collapse.
"Grandpa!" Ji Xinyao was shocked, and instinctively turned around and ran towards the ancestral hall.
"Grandpaβ"
Why did this eaves suddenly collapse, how could such a strong wall crack, although the wind is raging now, but there is no sign of an earthquake at all, how can the wall suddenly collapse!
Ji Xinyao's voice was full of fear and trembling, and her feet sped up, and she rushed directly into the ancestral hall: "Grandpa, come out quickly!" The ancestral hall is about to collapse! Get out of hereβ"
Old Man Gu didn't seem to notice the collapse of the eaves inside, he only heard the sound, and was walking out slowly, when he heard Xin Yao's voice, he was stunned for a moment, and then pointed at her with a stern look on his crutches: "You go out first!" Don't come in! β
"Grandpa......"
"Don't come in!" Old Man Gu seemed to think of something, and when he saw Xin Yao running in to save himself, he immediately angrily slammed his cane on the ground: "You girl, go quickly!" Leave me alone! β
"Grandpa, your legs and feet are inconvenient and you walk slowly, I'll help you out!" Xin Yao's eyes were clear, her eyes were firm, and she held the old man's arm hard: "Hurry up, grandpa!" β
Seeing that she had run in, the old man couldn't, so he had to shake his head helplessly: "This ancestral hall is in disrepair, I saw cracks on the beams last week, but it didn't collapse to the point of collapse, I sent someone to call the workers to come and repair it, but I don't know what the reason is, no one has come until now, why is it suddenly going to collapse, shouldn't it!" β
The old man hurriedly followed Xin Yao out, and said suspiciously.
Cracks began to appear in this house from the eaves, and the beam on that side suddenly fell, and the old man pulled Xin Yao back sharply: "Be careful!" β
Ji Xinyao looked at her hesitantly, the front of the door was already dusty at this time, with the wind and strange wind outside, she couldn't see anything clearly, she always felt that something was wrong, but now it was important to escape, she grabbed the old man and was about to step over the beam that had just landed.
But suddenly, a beam under the slope next to it broke at the same time, and the two of them just heard the sound of "click", and the beam with ash fell straight down to them, because the place in front of the door was already dusty, and they couldn't see anything clearly, and the beam above her head just fell, Xin Yao exclaimed that she had a bad premonition, but when they saw it clearly, it was too late, and when she saw that the beam was about to hit the old man, she exclaimed: "Grandpa-"
She pushed the old man forward violently, and then she felt a huge pain on her forehead, and the crimson blood instantly fell down a certain point on her head, covering her eyes, her eyes were dark, and she only faintly heard the old man Gu's heartache whispering in her ears: "Thief girl-"
She encouraged herself not to faint, but there was chaos in her mind, and there was a bloody color in front of her, she gritted her teeth, raised her eyes, and saw that the old man had not been able to leave the ancestral hall, so she was busy moving forward, but as soon as she took a step forward, her feet were tripped by the beams on the ground, and the whole person fell to the ground uncontrollably.
"Thief girlβ"
"Xin Yao!"
In a flash, a figure quickly rushed in, and at the moment when Ji Xinyao thought that she was about to fall to the ground, she caught her suddenly, and she also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and with the last strength, she put her hand on her stomach.
OK...... Didn't fall to the child......
"Xin Yao! Ji Xinyao! The person who hugged her called her bitterly: "Xin Yao! How are you? β
She felt that she was being carried out at the same time, so she barely opened her eyes, and vaguely saw Xiuli's face in the chaos, she was stunned, but she didn't want to directly use all her strength to grab his collar, and said in a dumb voice: "Help...... Grandpa......"
Xiu Li was stunned for a moment, but Ji Xinyao grabbed him by the collar fiercely, and stared at him with blood-stained eyes: "I don't want to ask you...... How could it be here...... I just need you to save ...... Grandfather...... If he had three long and two short...... I...... Cough...... You...... Save him!! β
Xiu Li's face turned pale in an instant, and he looked at her in astonishment: "Xin ......"
"Hurry up and save grandpa......" Ji Xinyao couldn't support it anymore, she didn't have any strength at all, and her head hurt a lot......
"Xin Yao! Yes! What's going on? He Jiezhen, who came in a hurry, was followed by Gu Yuanheng and Wang Ma who came at the same time, it seemed that Gu Yuanheng suddenly came home from the military region, He Jiezhen was temporarily held by the feet, and he rushed over again when he heard movement here.
Ji Xinyao's forehead was bubbling blood, half of her face was stained red with blood, and she was weakly held in Xiu Li's arms, but her eyes kept staring at him, and her hands were always grasping his collar.
Finally, Xiu Li's expression darkened, and she was handed over to He Jiezhen, who rushed over, and turned around and rushed into the collapsed ancestral hall.
"Xin Yao!" He Jiezhen hurriedly supported her, but Ji Xinyao had no strength in her body, and almost collapsed: "What about the old man?" Xin Yao...... How are you? How could this ancestral hall be ......?"
Gu Yuanheng, who was on the side, came over to support her together, and asked sternly, "What's the matter?!" β
Over there, Xiu Li rushed into the ancestral hall and helped the old man out after a while, the old man was not hit by anything, nor was he injured, and the only thing that almost hit him was also blocked by Ji Xinyao.
He seemed to be just choking on the dust that fell when he collapsed, coughing again and again, and while being helped out by Ji Xiuli, he hurriedly came over with a cane, and looked at Xin Yao worriedly: "How is the thief girl?" Thief girl! β
Xiu Li let go of Old Man Gu, turned around and walked over quickly.
Ji Xinyao was relieved to see that the old man was fine, and her eyes were closed, if it weren't for He Jiezhen and Gu Yuanheng supporting her, she would probably fall to the ground directly at this moment.
"Dad, how are you?" Seeing that the old man came out safely, Gu Yuanheng asked.
The old man waved his hand: "I'm fine, I can't die, the thief girl just helped me block the beam, let's see how she is, call the doctor over!" β
"Xin Yao......" He Jiezhen reached out in distress to wipe the blood off Xin Yao's face: "Come, mom will help you go back!" β
Ji Xinyao whispered before she was unconscious: "Don't ...... Sue sΓΉ Nancy ......"
"What?" I'm just a minor injury...... Don't sue sΓΉ Nancy...... Don't tell him......" When the words fell, she only felt a headache and couldn't support it anymore.
The sky was full of blood in front of him, and he completely fell into darkness.
