I was stunned for a moment, and asked incomprehensibly, "Dad, why?" ”

"If I say no, I can't!" My dad got up from his balcony chair and dropped the cigarette butt in his hand, his expression particularly ugly. （.ziyouge.）

I instantly felt very aggrieved, since I was a child, I haven't even seen a photo of my mother, and my dad obviously has the contact information of my grandmother's house, but he won't let me see it!

Shu An came over at this time, pulled my finger, and persuaded, "Xiaoxian, this matter is like this!" ”

I stayed at home sullenly for a while, and when I went back, sitting in the car, I said to Shu An: "I'm going to City A!" ”

"Didn't your dad let you go?"

I took out an envelope from my bag, this is the letter my dad received last time, he didn't let me go just now, so I sneaked into my dad's room while Aunt Zhang was chattering outside.

This is not a difficult thing for me, since I was a child, there is nothing in my house that I can't find.

Seeing this, Shu An sighed helplessly: "Actually, your father doesn't want you to go to find it, there must be his reasons, why should you bother!" ”

"It's important to me!" I opened the envelope, and the letter inside was folded many times, leaving deep creases, which my dad must have read carefully many times after receiving this letter.

What exactly is written in this letter, and how can my father keep reading it so many times?

I quickly opened the letter and wrote a few words on it with pen and paper: Brother Guan has not seen him for more than ten years, I don't know if he can be okay? Ruoyun is here today, hoping to ask for the help of the old lady of the official family, this matter is big, it is a matter of life and death, I hope to reply!

This Ruoyun should be my mother's sister, she calls my father Brother Guan, and the old lady in this letter should refer to my grandmother, so it can be seen that the person who wrote the letter did not know that my grandmother had passed away.

But what is the big thing she is talking about? Is it a matter of life and death? And my dad read the letter many times, proving that he has been hesitant to reply to it, right?

"What is written in the letter?" Shu An saw that my face suddenly became heavy, so he asked.

"Something big happened to my grandmother's house, I have to go back and see ......"

Autumn is coming to an end, and when you wake up early, you feel the breath of winter.

And when I'm around Shu'an, I often dress a little more than others, but I still get cold.

When I came to City A, where my mother may have lived, it was located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sea was facing it to the south, and the wind blew me colder.

Before coming here, Shu An had already sent someone to find out the address of Qiao Ruoyun who wrote the letter in advance, and the information of the Public Security Bureau showed that Qiao Ruoyun did have a sister named Qiao Ruomei, who died twenty years ago, and Qiao Ruoyun recruited a door-to-door son-in-law the following year, pregnant with a son, three years younger than me, and is a senior in high school this year, the information of the Public Security Bureau also shows that Qiao Ruoyun's husband died ten years ago, she did not remarry, and ran the ancestral medicine store, and my grandmother is still alive.

When I got the news, I didn't know how excited I was, and as soon as I arrived in City A, I didn't even go to the hotel, so I took the car and went straight to Qiao's house.

When I arrived at my grandmother's house and looked at this quaint courtyard, I realized that my grandmother's family was still a well-known local family, and my ancestors ran a medicinal herb shop.

At this moment, the door of the courtyard is closed, and there are two fierce and vicious door gods on the door, I want to knock on the door, and Shu An, who came with me, grabbed me and reminded: "Don't show your identity so quickly, the Qiao family knows your existence, but I haven't seen you for so many years, I'm afraid there is a reason for it." ”

I nodded, Shu An was thoughtful, and there must be some truth in what he was considering.

knocked on the door, and two minutes later, a fifty-year-old middle-aged woman came to open the door, and saw that she was wearing cheap clothes, no matter how she looked like Qiao Ruoyun I imagined.

I've heard my dad say that my mother is a big beauty, so her sister shouldn't be ugly either. Even if the years are unforgiving and life is tempered, it should leave the beauty of the silhouette, but the woman in front of her, with dark skin, rough skin, collapsed nose and thick lips, even if she is given another few decades of youth, it is absolutely impossible to be a beauty.

At this point, she asked me, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"May I ask if Ms. Qiao Ruoyun is here?"

"Mrs. went to hold a parent-teacher conference for the young master today, she should be back soon, what are you looking for her?"

I breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was not my legendary aunt.

But when others asked me what I was doing, I didn't think of an excuse in advance, so I turned my head and asked Shu An for help.

Shu An replied without changing his face: "We want to buy some medicinal herbs, because the quantity is a bit large, so come to your wife for a face-to-face interview!" ”

He didn't blink an eye when he lied.

I suddenly wondered, did he lie to me like that?

"Buy medicinal herbs, then you go into the house and wait, I'll call and ask when my wife will come back."

I nodded, and followed the woman into the courtyard.

The yard is planted with those flowers and plants that ordinary families will plant, what begonias, autumn chrysanthemums, but at a glance, you know that no one usually takes care of them, and the flowers do not grow well.

For the first time, Shu An walked around the trail in the yard, and judging from the change in his expression, he seemed to have found something unusual in the yard.

I hurriedly walked over to him and asked, "What do you see?" ”

"This house has been set up!"

Hearing this answer, I also walked around the courtyard, and when I came back, I asked him uncertainly, "Is it an evil array?" ”

Shu An nodded.

In the southeast and southeast directions of the courtyard, there are copper mirrors tied to the corners, and in the northwest direction, two copper swords are inserted.

But the evil array is not something that ordinary people can arrange, even if it is not arranged according to the steps, whether it is useful or not is another matter, I am afraid that people who don't understand it will mess around and ruin the fortune and aura of the whole house, so ordinary people will not arrange the array like this.

"It seems that the Qiao family is really in trouble!" Shu An said lightly.

The woman came out of the house making a pot of tea, and when she saw us standing in the courtyard, she asked, "Come in and sit down, you don't have time to take care of this courtyard, and there is nothing to see." ”

Shu An and I walked over and sat down, I saw that there seemed to be no one else in the house, so I asked the woman: "I don't know if your old lady Qiao is at home, my grandmother and her are old acquaintances, this time here, my grandmother also asked me to ask her old man to have a good time!" ”

When the woman heard me ask this, her face, which had been very polite just now, instantly pulled down, as if I had asked something that I should not have asked more.

"Auntie, isn't Old Lady Qiao here?" I asked tentatively.

The woman gently put the teapot down and replied with uncertain eyes: "No! ”

This is obviously a ghost in my heart!
