Chapter 19: There is an oil lamp

Ye Feifei felt a little bored after the trip was put on a trip at Li's house. Seeing that the time was still early, I wanted to walk around Wuyun City. Li Suxian wanted to go out with him, but just as he was about to go out, Jin Lanlan told Li Suxian, "The grandmother of the Li family is invited." So, Ye Feifei went out of the Li family by himself.

Before leaving, Jin Lanlan told Ye Feifei: "Don't go far, it's getting dark soon." ”

Ye Feifei came to Wuyun Town for the first time, and she didn't want to go out of the city alone when it was not early, so she walked slowly along the main street in the direction of Gao's house. I didn't go far to the Ye family's mansion, where weeds grow. Ye Feifei stopped when he passed by.

The layout of the Ye Mansion is somewhat similar to the Jin family, the same is that there are two doors, but the two doors of the Ye family are not separated by a wall, and there are two squatting stone lions at the door, which is the standard architectural style of the coastal wealthy families of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the middle of the mansion hangs a plaque with a vermilion bottom and gold edge, and although the word Yefu on the plaque is full of spider silk, it is still clearly visible. The mansion is deep and cold, and the slightest cold wind blows by, making people feel eerie and terrifying.

Ye Feifei had a strange feeling, she felt that this abandoned Ye Mansion was a bit similar to her Ye family in Beiyang. Although the gate is completely different, the Ye family in Beiyang has only one door, and there is no stone lion at the door, let alone a plate. Even the inner door and front yard are completely different from this deserted Ye Mansion. But Ye Feifei just felt like it, even she couldn't tell where it looked, it was just a feeling.

"Maybe it's because of the word Ye Fu," Ye Feifei explained to himself in his heart.

Ye Feifei wanted to go in to take a look, and just as he was about to raise his legs, he remembered a conversation between his grandfather and her before leaving.

"Feifei, this time I went to Wuyun Mountain, except for the Li family before entering the mountain, you should try to have as little contact with people as possible. If someone asks about your ancestral hometown, you will say that you have lived in Beiyang for thousands of years. Grandpa Ye Ying said with a serious face.

"Can you tell me why, grandpa?" Ye Feifei asked calmly. Although he didn't understand why his grandfather told him like this, judging from the tasks assigned to him by his grandfather, he guessed that the Ye family must be related to Wuyun Mountain.

"Our Ye family has not been able to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and some people in this Wuyun City are inseparable, after hundreds of years, these wolf ambitious people still refuse to give up, now is not the time to tell you this, when you come back after completing the task, grandpa will tell you." Ye Ying explained.

"Could it be that this deserted Ye Mansion is the place where my ancestors lived?" Ye Feifei felt his heart beat faster, as if he had discovered some shocking secret. I almost wanted to raise my legs and go in, but when I thought of my grandfather's instructions, I shrank back again.

In the end, Ye Feifei still did not resist the drive of curiosity, crossed the threshold, and entered the Ye family.

The front yard of the Ye family is a field of weeds, and the weeds are waist-high. At the end of the weeds, the bluestone steps are covered with dust and dust, and the tiles scattered all over the place tell the coldness of the years. The eaves of the disrepaired roof are covered with spider silk, the front hall is old, the beams are in disrepair, the furniture is shabby, the gray and black walls, and there is a bleak feeling everywhere.

Crossing the front hall, Ye Feifei continued to walk forward. Behind the front hall was a small courtyard, where there were not many weeds, but it was a little higher than the front yard, and on both sides there were several collapsed walls, and beside the wall there was an old banyan tree, and the downed roots told of his old age. The leaves cover the sky, the light is dim, and the sun is setting, and the yard looks unusually gloomy. A gust of wind suddenly hit, and Ye Feifei couldn't help but shiver. The prosperity is gone, full of mulberry, Ye Feifei sighed a little: "Such a wealthy family is now ruined!" ”

Ye Feifei wanted to stop and walk back. Because she found that it was getting late at this time, and the inner hall in front of her was dim and dark, and it was creepy, and a feeling of uneasiness arose spontaneously from the bottom of her heart. Just as Ye Feifei wanted to go back, she suddenly found that there was a little glowing light on the inside of the back hall.

"Oil lamps, why do people still use oil lamps in this era? Who would light an oil lamp in such a dilapidated place? This house was full of strangeness, and Ye Feifei felt a chill in his heart. However, JUN's personality is strong, she has been strong since she was a child, not only has a boy-like heroic temperament, but also has a resilience that does not admit defeat. Driven by curiosity, Ye Feifei took out the dagger on his left waist, assumed a defensive posture, and slowly walked towards the point of light.

The breeze blows, and the light flutters with the wind, sometimes dark and sometimes bright. The closer Ye Feifei got to the bright spot, the more careful he became, and his pace slowed down a lot. The weeds on the ground are illuminated by the light, revealing a messy reflection, like a mess of hair, and if you don't look closely, you will mistake it for ghostly long hair.

Ye Feifei mustered up the courage to walk towards the oil lamp, perhaps human beings have a special affection for light, although this oil lamp is very strange, but Ye Feifei has a sense of intimacy. This is a dark brown copper lamp, the copper lamp is ten centimeters high, the flat pillar looks like the tail of a scorpion, and the oil lamp head, like a scorpion head, from a distance, the whole lamp looks like an upright scorpion.

The oil lamp was placed on a desk, and when Ye Feifei approached, he realized that it was a shrine table. On the altar is a painting. The light was a little dim, Ye Feifei couldn't see what he was painting? Ye Feifei simply picked up the "scorpion lamp" and shone it on the painting. The painting turned out to be a scorpion, a huge brown scorpion. The reason why it is said to be huge is because there is a large mountain next to it, and the body of a scorpion coils at the bottom of the mountain. The tail also pressed a huge stone. The scorpion stood upright, as if trying to break free from a boulder.

Just as Ye Feifei was fascinated, he suddenly found a black shadow flashing. Ye Feifei subconsciously turned around and asked, "Who......... Who is it? ”

This turn really didn't scare Ye Feifei away, only to see a wrinkled old face, full of white hair, and a small oil lamp in his hand, because the old woman was too close to Ye Feifei, Ye Feifei turned his head, almost against the old man's face.

"Ahh Ye Feifei quickly put the dagger in his right hand on the old woman's neck, and carried the scorpion lamp in his left hand, shining it on the old man's face, and asked in horror: "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Ye Feifei felt that his skills were already very good, and his speed was so fast that few people in the department could surpass her, especially his chastity inspection ability, which was comparable to that of a hound. Now the old man came behind him quietly, and she didn't even realize that if she wasn't a ghost, she had excellent kung fu.

"Is this a human or a ghost?" Ye Feifei thought in shock.

"You girl, messing with other people's things, why are you still holding a knife to scare people?" The white-haired old woman pointed to the knife around her neck and said unhurriedly.

Ye Feifei thought, maybe he was so engrossed just now that the old man didn't notice when he approached him. Besides, this is indeed someone else's place, and he broke into it first, and the other party is still a grandmother.

Ye Feifei put away the dagger and said, "I'm sorry, grandma, I was too nervous just now." ”

"It's the old man who scared you, Miss, but Miss, you're really, how can you walk around at such a late hour? Didn't your family tell you not to wander around? The old man was slightly accusatory, and his tone was very stiff.

"You... You..."Ye Feifei felt a little annoyed, the old man suddenly came out and was scared, and his tone was so blunt, even the Ye family didn't dare to talk to her like this.

"But judging from her unhurried and calm appearance, this old man must not be an ordinary person, let's take a look first." Ye Feifei secretly warned himself in his heart.
