Text Chapter 259: The Pei family's old house
Xu Rongrong nodded, there was nothing wrong with this, she really wanted to see the stars, but sitting in the back garden and watching the stars, she really could only look at it, and she couldn't experience the feeling of picking the stars with her hands at all.
Moreover, she couldn't tell which one was her grandfather and her mother.
Pei Moyan pulled her up from the rattan chair, with a deep smile on her face, and her tone was doting, "Come here, I'll take you to a better place to see the stars." ”
Xu Rongrong didn't even have time to refuse, he was dragged away by Pei Moyan, and when he arrived in the living room, Wei Meixian saw that they seemed to be going out, and couldn't help asking, "Ah Yan, Rongrong, it's so late, is there anything urgent to deal with?" ”
Pei Moyan responded with a smile, "Mom, I'll take Rongrong to the old mansion." ”
After speaking, he pulled Xu Rongrong and walked out.
got into the car, Xu Rongrong's head was a little confused all the way, "Ah Yan, it's almost ten o'clock now, don't you have to go to work tomorrow?" ”
And it looks like the place where you are going is far away.
"Also, what is the so-called old mansion?" The Pei family still has an old mansion? How had she never heard anyone mention it?
"Well, it was left by my grandfather, but after a long time, because of the company, it was not convenient to live there, so after my grandfather left, there was no one living there." Pei Moyan explained in a very light voice.
Xu Rongrong raised his eyes and saw that the corners of Pei Moyan's lips were a little tight, and he seemed to be in a not too high mood, so he deliberately provoked the topic, "I used to be in a small village in the United States, and at that time I went to experience that kind of country life with my friends, you know, looking at the stars there, it really seems that you can take them off with your hand." ”
In fact, if it weren't for her father's fate later, I'm afraid she wouldn't have come back on a blind date obediently, let alone meet Pei Moyan.
In fact, sometimes if you think about it carefully, maybe this is also fate, the fate between her and Pei Moyan.
The place where the car was speeding was becoming more and more deserted, Xu Rongrong looked at the darkness around him, and couldn't help asking, "Ah Yan, why is your old mansion like staying in the deep mountains and old forests?" ”
And from time to time, there were also the sounds of unknown animals in his ears, which really made Xu Rongrong tremble a little.
Seeing this, Pei Moyan smiled at the corner of his lips, and responded faintly, "It's almost the kind of deep mountain and old forest, and Rongrong, about the old mansion, there was once a legend, do you want to hear it?" ”
He clearly saw Xu Rongrong's eyes wandering everywhere, obviously afraid.
So the smile on his lips became deeper and deeper, and his voice became deeper and deeper, "Before my old mansion was built, I heard that this was originally an experimental base for the Japanese, and as far as I ......."
"Stop, stop...... Ah Yan, you're going too far, in the middle of the night, can you not say that you don't have these things? Xu Rongrong felt a little tired, and his little heart was shaking.
Originally, she was already frightened enough, but she didn't expect Pei Moyan to want to scare her!
Seeing Xu Rongrong taking the initiative to beg for mercy, Pei Moyan had a smile on his face, and after a while, the car stopped.
And Xu Rongrong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head to look in front of him, and when a rather ancient building like an ancient courtyard appeared in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.
"This is your old house?" There are also two big red lanterns hanging at the door.
And the door is still that kind of wooden door, it can be seen that when Pei Moyan's grandfather was alive, he was estimated to be a more traditional person.
After getting out of the car, Pei Moyan went to knock on the door, and with the squeak of the wooden door open, Xu Rongrong saw a middle-aged man in his fifties appear at the door, and when he saw Pei Moyan, his face was full of smiles, "The little young master is back!" ”
Pei Moyan nodded, "Uncle Li, I'm going to take my daughter-in-law to stay for one night today." ”
When Uncle Li heard Pei Moyan's salutation, his kind and inquiring eyes immediately fell on Xu Rongrong, who was standing behind Pei Moyan, "Come on, come on, it's windy outside, come in quickly." ”
Xu Rongrong stretched out his hand and took the initiative to climb up Pei Moyan's arm, looking at it, although there were lights, this courtyard was located in such a remote mountain forest, and it was surrounded by woods, which was almost equivalent to being deserted.
Xu Rongrong grew up, and what he was most afraid of was supernatural events and ghost stories.
She still remembers that when she was a child, Xu Anrui and her classmates tricked her into a remote bridge, and then told her that a woman had drowned under the bridge hole, and that someone had seen the woman floating under the bridge.
Suddenly, when Xu Rongrong went back that night, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to sleep and cried all night.
Since that night, Xu Rongrong has been having nightmares for several nights in a row.
This incident left a deep psychological shadow on her at that time, so Xu Rongrong was most afraid of things related to supernatural events.
Especially now, in this kind of big mansion full of ancient style in the depths, she was even more trembling, grabbed Pei Moyan tightly, and refused to let go of a single step.
And Pei Moyan took her towards the depths of the courtyard, because the yard was too big and no one lived for a long time, the lights were not very bright, and there was a dark feeling.
"Ah Yan, shall we go back?" Xu Rongrong hid behind Pei Moyan and looked around, looking at the many tall shrubs planted in the yard, she always felt that behind each bush there was a pair of eyes staring at her.
Pei Moyan couldn't help but smile dumbly when he saw Xu Rongrong's shaky appearance, and his dry and warm palm held Xu Rongrong's slightly cool and trembling fingertips, "Don't worry, this house, I have lived since I was a child, there is no problem, don't be afraid, be good." ”
As he spoke, he put his arm around her, and led her up to the second floor.
In this old-fashioned courtyard house, Xu Rongrong felt that it seemed to be made of wood, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance in the wood, and the tip of his nose lingered with this faint fragrance.
Walking through a staircase of a duplex structure, Xu Rongrong's eyes suddenly opened up.
"Wow! Pei Moyan, this place in your house is really a good place to watch the stars! "When I looked up, the stars above my head were bright, and it looked as if I could pick them up with my hand.
It's really like the feeling she had when she looked at the stars in that farmstead town in the United States.
Looking at Xu Rongrong's excited appearance, Pei Moyan's face was full of doting, and then walked to the rattan chair on the side and sat down.
"Well, if you want to come in the future, you can come at any time."
Xu Rongrong also made it to another rattan chair, looking at the twinkling stars, with a somewhat lonely expression on his face, "If my grandfather is still here, in fact, I would also like to take him to see such a beautiful scenery." ”
Seeing Xu Rongrong's very lost appearance, Pei Moyan sighed, walked to the rattan chair next to Xu Rongrong, sat beside her, hugged her into his arms, and coaxed softly, "Rongrong, people can't be resurrected after death, at least when your grandfather dies, you and your brother are by his side, believe me, even if he leaves, he will be quite relieved." ”
Hearing this, Xu Rongrong raised his eyes, and there were many tears in his eyes unconsciously, "Really? Will grandpa really feel at ease? ”
In the past, when her grandfather was alive, Xu Rongrong always felt that she had not been able to fulfill her filial piety, especially in the end, if it wasn't for Xu Yan telling her that her grandfather was sick, I'm afraid she still didn't know that her grandfather's illness was already so serious.
When my grandfather called him before, he said that he was in good health.
She had only returned from the United States for a little more than a year, and her grandfather had already died.
To say that there is no guilt, that is false.
"Yes, grandpa loves you so much, and the last thing I want to see is that you have tears, so in order to make the foreigner feel at ease, don't cry, you know?" Pei Moyan stretched out her hand and gently wiped her tears.
"Okay, I know." Here, Xu Rongrong had just wiped away his tears, and suddenly, he heard the howl of something in his ears.
suddenly remembered the legend that Pei Moyan told her before, although she didn't finish it, it was enough to make Xu Rongrong feel terrified.
So, she cautiously looked around the dark surroundings and asked in a low voice, "Ah Yan, did you hear any strange sounds?" ”
Pei Moyan saw Xu Rongrong who kept drilling into his arms, his eyes deepened, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly, but he still spoke quietly, "Didn't you hear, did you listen to something?" ”
As he spoke, he stood up from the rattan chair, and when Xu Rongrong saw this, he quickly hugged Pei Moyan like a koala and didn't let go, "Ah Yan, you...... Don't go, and besides, don't you really hear anything? ”
In her ears, the sound like a wolf howling and a ghost crying became clearer and clearer, and Xu Rongrong only felt that her heart was beating faster and faster.
"No? By the way, Rongrong, I forgot to tell you before, behind this house, there is a river, the river is quite deep, I heard that people have drowned in the back, and when I was a child, I also heard Uncle Li say that he once saw a woman in white appear in the middle of the night, but after a flash, it disappeared. ”
After speaking, he paused deliberately, and sure enough, he found that Xu Rongrong's grip on his hand was getting tighter and tighter, a thick smile was hooked at the corner of his lips, and his voice became deeper and lower, "So, maybe you are lucky today, maybe you can see it, don't you say, Rongrong?" ”
After speaking, he deliberately blew a breath on her neck, and the frightened Xu Rongrong hugged Pei Moyan all of a sudden, shouting that he just wouldn't let go!
"Ah Yan, I want to go back to my room!" Xu Rongrong buried his head in Pei Moyan's arms, not even daring to look outside.
The smile between Pei Moyan's eyebrows deepened, he stretched out his hand to support her, and then carried her downstairs, his tone was ambiguous, "Okay, let's go back to the room." ”
Xu Rongrong buried his head in Pei Moyan's arms, for fear of seeing something not very good.
However, as soon as she arrived in the room, Xu Rongrong noticed that something was wrong, Pei Moyan put her directly on the bed, and then the whole person leaned over and pressed towards her.
