Chapter 10 Exploring the Ancestral Hall of the Deep House
Xiao Yuan returned to the room and told Xiao Yan what Mrs. Xing had said.
Xiao Yan listened attentively, thought for a long time, and said: "Solve the cause of Gao Ji's death, and all the mysteries will be solved." It's just that...... Gao Ji's death should have been very tragic, so that the old lady went crazy all of a sudden, as for Gao Kun, ......"
"I don't want to hear that." Xiao Yuan waved his hand to interrupt him, held the brush and taught Sister Rong to draw ducklings, Xiao Yun glanced at it, the ugly mistaken child, simply went out of the room and went to find Yan Indixia.
After a while, I heard the sound of rain hitting the branches outside the window, Sister Rong painted with sweat, her hands and face were red in the east and yellow in the west like a flower cat, Xiao Yuan didn't allow her to paint again, pulled to the copper basin and washed carefully, changed her clothes again, hugged her to the bed and put down the gauze tent, held the lamp and caught mosquitoes, and then coaxed her to sleep while fanning, she couldn't hold it anymore, and her eyes were hazy.
Xiao Yun and Yan Dixia changed into black clothes, saw that the lights in the eldest sister's room were out, tiptoed to push the courtyard door, and then stepped out of the threshold and gently closed.
Yan Dixia pouted: "Xiao Sheng, are you so afraid of Xiao Niangzi?" ”
"I'm afraid, she's very fierce!" Xiao Yan replied carelessly, but his feet were as fast as the wind.
"Does Mrs. Xiao know that your martial arts are extraordinary?" Yan Indixia followed.
Xiao Yan didn't answer, and the two figures jumped up, climbed over the wall, and disappeared into the vast darkness.
Shen Qishan was practicing swords in the courtyard, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and he was about to go back to the room, when he suddenly heard a slight creaking sound at the courtyard door opposite, and looked through the crack in the door, only to see two black-clothed young men hurrying away, he frowned slightly, flashed out, and quietly followed.
Besides, Xiao Yun and Yan Dixia arrived in the garden, it was rainy and moonless, the shadows of the trees were swaying, it was difficult to see the five fingers when they stretched out their hands, except for the wind and rain, there was no sound, and it was very desolate and silent.
They lit the spark, put on the oil lamp cover, lifted the light road, passed through the moon cave gate, went to the white mountain of Taihu Lake, crossed the rose stand, walked into the bamboo forest path, and came out to the ancestral hall near the front, but saw that the right door was open for a small half, and they were all shocked, quickly extinguished the oil lamp in their hands, slowly tiptoed down, climbed the stairs, and quietly entered along the crack in the door.
Entering is the courtyard, and a bronze tripod is set up in the center of the courtyard, and the square is squatting there, and Hessesen is like a beast that only eats people.
The four double-crossed and four-fold rhombic doors of the main hall were closed, and a little candle flame was faint on the moon-white window paper, showing that there were people inside.
The two of them exchanged glances, tiptoe light from the side of the corridor entered, to a door, Xiao Yan licked his fingers to poke the window paper, looked in along the hole, there are five niches, the gold cabinet in the niche is dedicated to the ancestral tablet, there is a long table carved with yellow pear in front, for a gilded copper incense burner, on both sides of the incense candle paper flowers, it is obvious that the ancestral hall has not been worshiped for a long time, all are full of dust, cobwebs are dense.
Xiao Tuan saw the back of an old woman, her hair was messy and rough, half a bundle of white was scattered on her shoulders, the bamboo-blue hair rolled over somewhere, stained with a large piece of mud, she tensed her body and did not move, her right arm held the lamp and candle high, raised her head and looked up intently.
Xiao Yan secretly wondered what she was looking at, and suddenly heard a "dumb" scream behind him, screaming so yin that his scalp was numb, and Yan Dixia looked back abruptly, three or four crows came down from the top of the hall, flew wildly for a while, and landed on the edge of the bronze tripod and stood on his feet, but his two eyes were black and white, and he stared at them angrily.
Xiao Yun suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, grabbed Yan Dixia and flashed to the back of the pillar, and heard a "creak" door, but when he saw the old woman in the ancestral hall, he stepped out of the threshold.
