"Head of the house, it's time for your family to incense. The abbot of the temple stood outside the gate and bowed his head to Mu Xiaotian and said.

Mu Xiaotian nodded, and with a very sad face, he pulled his wife and his three-year-old daughter into the ancestral temple.

Today is the Midyear Festival, according to the ancestral teachings of the Mu family, before going to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors on this day, you must first go to a temple built next to it to worship a jade statue. According to the ancestors, the person depicted in the jade statue is the ancestor of the Mu family, and the entire Mu family was formed by him.

Crossing the threshold, Mu Xiaotian looked at the life-size jade statue sitting on the golden bed. The jade statue is lying on the golden bed, and the posture is the same as that of the sleeping Buddha of the Buddha's house. But the difference is that this jade statue is dressed in a Zhuzi deep robe, with its left hand holding its head and its right hand holding a folding fan. Of course, what people care about the most is the appearance of the jade statue. I don't know that the facial features of the jade statue were carefully carved by the craftsman master, and it was extremely handsome, and the silky long hair pizza was on the shoulder, just like real hair. Even Mu Xiaotian, who already had a child, would tremble when he looked at it.

"Wow, it's beautiful. Dad, this sister is so beautiful. The young Mu Wanyu knelt on the futon and tugged at the corner of her father's clothes beside her.

Mu Xiaotian shook his head with a serious face, and said in a low voice: "Wanyu, don't be rude." This is the ancestor of our Mu family. Quickly follow Dad and apologize to the ancestors. ”

After Mu Xiaotian finished speaking, he nodded to the abbot on the side, and the abbot took the lit incense. After the family bowed nine times and knocked nine times, Mu Xiaotian got up and inserted incense in the incense burner to lead his wife and

The daughter is ready to go out.

"Girl, I'm not a sister. I'm your grandfather. The man's voice with a fairy aura came into Mu Wanyu's ears, Mu Wanyu stopped and turned her head to see that the person lying on the golden collapse was no longer a stone statue, but a living person who looked exactly like the stone statue.

Mu Wanyu pointed to the man on the golden floor, nodded politely and said, "Hello, my name is Mu Wanyu." ”

"Mu Bairan"

"Brother Mu Bairan?"

Mu Bairan chuckled, "It's called Grandpa." ”

"Grandpa, why are you here?"

"I? I don't remember exactly. ”

"Don't you have any friends?"

Mu Bairan shook his head.

A smile appeared on Mu Wanyu's immature face, "I have no friends, I am alone here, that, that is very lonely." Can I come and play with my grandfather in the future?"

Mu Bairan stared at Mu Wanyu's immature little face, got up and floated down from the golden collapse and walked in front of Mu Wanyu, taking off a ring on his hand. After the ring was removed, it floated to Mu Wanyu's chest, and suddenly a black rope appeared and hung around Mu Wanyu's neck.

Mu Bairan pointed to the ring and said with a smile: "Grandpa Grandpa welcomes Xiao Wanyu at any time." ”

Mu Wanyu chuckled, "Okay"

"Okay, Xiao Wanyu, your parents are leaving, hurry up. Remember to come back to see me often. ”

"Uh-huh. Goodbye grandpa. Mu Wanyu smiled and beckoned to Mu Bairan.

"Wanyu, who are you talking to?" Seeing his daughter suddenly turn around and wave goodbye to the jade statue of the ancestor, Mu Xiaotian was shocked.

Mu Wanyu innocently pointed to Mu Bairan's jade statue and said, "And grandpa." ”

A trace of cold sweat appeared on Mu Xiaotian's forehead. As the old saying goes, children can see things that others can't see, although that's all superstition, but at this juncture, Mu Xiaotian always feels that it's true.

Mu Xiaotian coughed lightly, took Mu Wanyu's hand and smiled gently: "Okay, Wanyu, I apologized to the ancestor." It's time for us to go, don't disturb the ancestor's rest. ”

Mu Xiaotian had just pulled Mu Wanyu across the threshold, when the abbot suddenly walked over and whispered, "Family master, the eldest lady can freely enter and exit the ancestral temple in the future." ”

"Hmm, why, who said that?" Mu Xiaotian knew that the ancestral temple could only come in and worship during the annual Midyear Festival. Like Qingming, Chongyang can only go to the ancestral hall next to it to worship.

The abbot glanced at the ring pendant around Mu Wanyu's neck and said lightly: "The meaning of the ancestors"

......

Seventeen years later

"Grandpa Abbot, Grandpa Abbot"

A sharp knock on the door broke the silence of one o'clock in the morning. A few minutes later, the doors of the temple opened. The half-white abbot hunched over and looked at the girl standing in the doorway.

A beautiful and fair face under the moonlight, cherry lips smiled, and the moonlight shone on her penetrating eyes, like two stars. Seeing the girl, the abbot smiled, "The eldest lady is here." You're here to find the Ancestor, right?"

Mu Wanyu smiled and put a gift box in front of her. "Hey, it's not all. Abbot grandfather, my dad said that the night has been cold recently. I'm afraid you're going to have rheumatism again, so I've bought you some medicinal wine. ”

"Hahaha, more than ten years have passed, and the eldest lady is really getting more and more beautiful. Let's go, the old man will take you there. ”

Mu Wanyu waved her hand, "I have the key here, I'll go by myself." Recently, I was too busy with school and didn't have time to come back on the weekend, so I finally came back, so I thought I would come over to see you and Old Man Mu as soon as possible. ”

Hearing Mu Wanyu call the ancestor of the Mu family old man Mu old man, the abbot smiled helplessly, "The whole clan is up and down, and you dare to call the ancestor like this." ”

"Hee-hee, I've been used to it for so many years. Then I'll go first. ”

"Let's go"

Mu Wanyu walked into the temple, turned on the electric light, walked to the offering table, took out an orange from the plate containing oranges, looked at the jade statue and said with a smile: "This orange is good, it looks like Master Anshan bought it." The oranges sold on Hengshan Road have always been juicy and sweet. It's a pity that you can't be blessed. ”

Mu Wanyu sat on the futon again and sighed, "Old man Mu, did you really see you when I was a child? Why did I never see you again?" You give me those things, I practice every day. But you... Alas. You know, something big has happened this year. If our Mu family can't get through it, I'm afraid it's going to be cold. You don't even have the statue and the chair. You ......"

"Bang"

The outer door was opened, and the abbot, covered in blood, lay down at the entrance of the hall. Mu Wanyu got up and walked over, and asked anxiously, "Grandpa Abbot, what's wrong?"

Mu Wanyu found that the abbot's left side was covered with blood stains, and one arm was gone. The abbot's right hand grabbed Mu Wanyu's arm hard. Blood poured out one by one, "Run, Miss, Run, Run......"

Before the abbot finished speaking, he suddenly let go of Mu Wanyu's hand, and his whole body fell to the ground.

"Tata"

Someone else walked in. He is about 1.8 meters tall and has excellent equipment. With a machine gun in his hand and a mask.

The man looked at Mu Wanyu who was sitting on the ground, sneered, took out a *** from his waist and threw it on the ground.

"Ahem" The pungent smoke made Mu Wanyu cough twice. Waving her hand vigorously, when Mu Wanyu rushed to the door, she found that the door had been locked from the outside. I pushed it hard but I couldn't push it away.

"Tick, tick, tick" There was a crisp tick at the door.

Without waiting for Mu Wanyu to react, with a "bang", the surrounding fires flashed, and the fluctuations of the explosion shook Mu Wanyu to the jade man. Mu Wanyu's eyes went dark and she fainted.

Halfway up the hill in the distance, a man in his forties rolled down the car door and looked at the fire on the opposite hillside. The woman sitting next to her hung up the phone and said respectfully, "Everything inside has been cleaned up." ”

"Mu Wanyu, where's that little girl?"

"Got rid of it too. ”

"Okay, does Brother Liang know over there?"

"I'll tell Liang Shao when it's done"

"Well, okay, let's go. ”

"Good..."

The windows are raised. With the sound of the car starting, the car disappeared into the night.

After the vehicle left, a long-haired man suddenly appeared in the same position, holding a bloody and unconscious girl in his arms, looking at the opposite firelight and chuckling: "Eat my offerings, you will be punished." However, even my precious grandparents dare to blow up? Are these young people bullying my old bones for too long and not coming out to do activities?"
