It's just that Lin Xi has a question, since this mansion is so big, why did she come over so quickly when she knocked on the door just now? And can she hear it?

"The east and west sides are for the younger generation, such as mine, the side room is for the uncle's generation, and the main house is the grandfather's room. Come with me, grandpa, they're already waiting for you. ”

Walking through an extremely spacious open space in front of the house, stepping over the ten-centimeter-high threshold, Linxi's eyes lit up with the antique dress.

The beams should be freshly painted, showing a dark red translucent glow. The air is filled with a faint Zen scent, and the smell is refreshing.

Walking through several chic living rooms in a row, Lin Xi finally met someone else in a large hall.

Long Aotian was sitting alone, and when he saw Lin Xi coming in, his eyes lit up, and he instantly got up and ran over, and said in surprise: "Second brother, you are finally here!" ”

Lin Xi smiled, he knew that the saddest thing in Lu Dao at this time should be Long Aotian, although he didn't know what was unknown in Lu Dao, but seeing his father being sent to prison, I am afraid that this mood would not be better.

Long Aotian's mother also came over at this time, just like what she had seen before, she was still so graceful and luxurious, and under the light makeup, her beautiful face showed the maturity and stability that the young girl did not have.

Because Lin Xi had seen it, he smiled and said, "Hello Auntie." ”

"The things of these days are really troublesome to you, Aotian can have a brother like you, it is really his blessing, and it is also the blessing of our Long family."

"Auntie, you're polite, for the sake of Aotian, this is what I should do."

Long Aotian smiled proudly, walked with Lin Xi to the middle, and then said, "Second brother, let me introduce you!" This is my third uncle. Long Xiang"

"Hehe, the young man is doing a good job, I've heard about you, you're a man."

Lin Xi looked at the young third uncle in front of him, who looked like he was in his thirties, his skin was very well maintained, and he was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but the voice of his speech was like hitting a bell, with a muffled voice, and his tone was also very rough, which had a strong contrast with his appearance.

"Hello third uncle."

Anyway, he is also an elder, and Lin Xi will not lose his sense of proportion, and shouted respectfully.

"Second brother! This is my second uncle! Dragon Feather. ”

Shifting his gaze, a gentle middle-aged man sat next to the third uncle, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, dressed in a straight suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking like a successful entrepreneur, speaking of which, he is the helmsman of the Long family's family business.

"Second uncle is good!"

"Not bad." Long Yu also looked at Lin Xi, and said with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Long Aotian continued: "Second brother, let me introduce you to my grandfather. After speaking, he said to the old man who was sitting in the first place, "This is my grandfather." ”

For the current helmsman of the Long family, Lin Xi has long been insightful, and when he looked up, he saw an old man in good spirits sitting there with a smile on his face, although his face was wrinkled, but he could vaguely see that this old man must have been a handsome man when he was young.

I don't know if it's the name of the person who has been sitting on the throne all the year round, the old man's eyes are not like ordinary old people, they are cloudy.

As clear as water, I don't know if it's an illusion or a real thing, Lin Xi seems to be able to see the little light flashing in the old man's eyes, with gray hair, he is really like a sage who has seen through the world, which makes people respect at a glance.

"Hello grandpa."

Rao is Lin Xi is accustomed to seeing the world, and when he saw this old man, he couldn't help but bow his head and said respectfully.

"You're Linsey, come, sit next to me."

The old man's voice was full of confidence and very loud, and there was no bend in the slightest back, which really embarrassed the other old men.

Lin Xi shook his head and said, "No, I'll sit somewhere else." ”

The old man nodded his head and said, "It's okay." ”

He sat down next to Long Aotian, and as soon as he sat down, the old man said loudly: "The rest of you should go out first, I have something to say to Lin Xi." ”

Others are nothing, and for the old man's words, he listens completely to the holy decree. However, Long Aotian wanted to refute a few words, but was pulled away by his mother.

This is the majesty of the great family, and the words of those in power must be obeyed.

And Long Lingxi was about to leave, but was stopped by the old man and ordered him to sit next to Lin Xi.

Silent............

Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Lin Xi and the others could only stare at it with such big eyes, compared to it, Long Lingxi was even more uncomfortable, and his grandfather's eyes looked at him so directly, as if he was looking at a stranger again.

Finally, Long Lingxi couldn't bear it anymore, and leaned to the old man's side, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, what do you see??!! ”

At this moment, the old man's slightly serious face also became a lot looser, and his gray beard was bent a few times by Long Lingxi, and he smiled: "I haven't seen you like this for a few years." It's so good, it's not uglier than others, you have to make yourself look different. ”

Long Lingxi pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "Grandpa, you don't understand." I call it self-preservation! Think about it, what if someone covets my beauty?! Therefore, it is necessary to use some necessary measures when necessary. Otherwise, you can hook up, no, it's to find a man like Lin Xi. ”

One sentence made Lin Xi a little overwhelmed and stunned in place, even a little embarrassed.

The old man also smiled and said, "That's right, your vision is indeed good." Lynsey, come here. ”

At this moment, looking at the old man's gaze projected on him, Lin Xi had an idea in his heart.

But he still walked over according to his words and said in a low voice: "You say." ”

Syllable......

One hand suddenly landed on Lin Xi's hand when he was defenseless, and on the other side, Long Lingxi was also stunned how his hand could have reached Lin Xi's hand.

"Old man, I don't want to say anything else in my life, my kung fu is not bad, your kid is a person who values love and righteousness, Lingxi is my granddaughter, and it is my pearl. Since she chose you, I naturally won't object to it, old man. I've also heard that you have other girlfriends besides Lingxi. As far as the elders are concerned, I am against this. But since Lingxi doesn't mind, I, an old guy who is about to enter the ground, has nothing to say. I hope you will treat her well in the future, and you will be worthy of me and her dead grandfather. ”

The old man's last words were a little embarrassed.

"Grandpa......" Long Lingxi's eyes were also a little red, in her impression, this old man has never been smiling, and even sometimes makes people afraid, only his occasional jokes can make him smile a little, but only occasionally. And at this moment, she really felt the expectations and entrustment of the elders for the younger ones.

The old man waved his hand and said a little tiredly, "Okay, this matter is over." I'm getting older, and I don't want to ask about some things. Lingxi, you go down first. I still have something to say to Lynsey. ”

"Know, Grandpa."

At this time, Long Ling Xiran did not hesitate at all, turned away, she knew that grandpa must have said more important things to Lin Xi, she didn't want to bother.

"Lynsey." The old man's voice became serious again.

"You say."

The old man stood up slowly, with his hands behind his back, and his solid back only looked a little old at this moment, which is the inevitable passage of time for human beings.

"Long Tian must have told you something in the car, I don't want to ask. But I have a word for you. ”

"You say."

"If the worst outcome is death, what would you choose?"

The old man's words were a little ambiguous, maybe others couldn't understand it, but Lin Xi was transparent to his heart, what he said was the current situation, and it was already a sure thing to help the Long family, and Lin Xi himself knew that with his current situation, he would face danger at any time, whether it was from reality or virtuality.

After a moment of silence, Lin Xi opened his mouth and responded, "It's still the same. ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

The old man said three good words in a row, full of confidence, and his strong voice seemed to tremble even the house.

"You come with me!"

After saying that, he rushed to the back room without looking back.

Although Lin Xi was puzzled, he also followed, but the next scene made him truly see the incredible.

A secret door hidden behind a bookcase is not unusual, it is normal for a big family to have a secret passage.

But there is no cave in the hidden world!

For example, the size of a football field, there are countless wooden shelves, and antique calligraphy and paintings are piled up throughout the room, even if Lin Xi is not well versed in this, but he can also see the names of some words and paintings such as Tang Bohu and Wang Xizhi written under the canvas.

However, the old man didn't explain much to Lin Xi, and went straight to the innermost part, where it was tightly sealed with an iron door.

With the click of the key, the door opened.

The room is not too big, only about 20 square meters, and the only furniture in it is a long wooden table.

A square tin box was placed in the center, and the corners were already rusty.

Gently opened, there was a pile of yellowed white paper.

"What is the file that Zhilu Dao Diefeng is trying to get?" The old man's voice echoed.

Archives? Lin Xi was stunned. At the beginning, the archives that their shadow troops were desperately guarding at the beginning, he only knew that the road was very important, but he really didn't know what the road was.

The old man turned around, looked at Lin Xi with black and white eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This is a record of all kinds of crimes committed by some so-called famous families during the Anti-Japanese War. Some of them are dead, and some, like me, are still alive, and have even become the rulers of a clan, and have become the kings hidden in this society under the rule of law, and even the government does not have enough evidence to eradicate them. ”

What the? Crime? Lin Xi only felt her whole body tremble! The old man's words made him feel as if he was falling deeper and deeper! From the moment I got the news, it meant that I would never be able to turn back.

As if he had guessed Lin Xi's thoughts, the old man also sighed: "Originally, I wanted to bring these things underground with me, and they will never be turned over by future generations." But now, if you want to keep my Long family, I'm afraid this is the only thing you can do. ”
