Sitting at the bus stop, I rummaged through my mobile phone, and after a while, I found the phone number that Bai Wufang had left for me.

With trepidation, I tried to dial, but after a few rings, the phone was connected.

I was overjoyed, and before I could speak, I heard a calm voice from the other side: "Hey, who are you?" ”

"Senior brother, I'm Gao Xiang, don't you remember?" My heart came up again, and it was not surprising that after so many years, Bai Wufang would forget about me.

It's just a pity, the owner of that big mansion, I'm afraid she will always be a mystery to me.

"It turned out to be you, junior brother, I haven't been in touch for a long time, do you have something to do with me?" Bai Wufang over there remembered, and he asked gently.

I let out a long breath, in high school, the two of us were called brothers and sisters, to show our closeness, and he didn't forget me after all.

My heart fell, and after thinking about the wording, I said, "Senior brother, do you know Wanghe District?" ”

"I know, it's relatively remote, and it's said to be haunted, why are you asking this?"

"I have a few friends who love adventure and want to go inside. I heard that there is an old house in the Republic of China, they want to find out before leaving, but they can't find any news about the old house on the Internet, so they found me, I want to ask, do you know? ”

After speaking, I held my breath and waited a little nervously for Bai Wufang's reply.

Bai Wufang over there pondered for a moment, and then said: "I don't know anything about this, so let's give you a call, it's the director of the Anseong Archives, you just said that I asked you to check the information, and he will cooperate with you." ”

Bai Wufang reported a phone number, and I wrote it down carefully.

"Senior brother, it's been a long time since I've played a basketball game with you, we've always been indistinguishable before, when will we have another game?" After finishing business, Bai Wufang turned to talk about the past.

I smiled and told him there would be a chance, but I was very busy right now and couldn't spare time for the time being.

Bai Wufang didn't insist, and after chatting a few more words, he hung up the phone.

I ended the call with him, and when I got back, I dialed the phone number he gave me.

The call was quickly connected, and the person over there slowly asked me who I was and how I would know his private number.

However, as soon as he heard that I was introduced by Bai Wufang, his attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn, not only did he add to me, but also asked me where I was, if I would like to send a car to pick me up?

I don't think I know exactly where the archives are, and if they had sent a car to pick me up, it would have saved me a lot of time.

Talking into the microphone, I replied that I would.

Putting down the phone, it didn't take long for a black Audi car to drive by, and a middle-aged man with glasses and a Chinese tunics was out of the car.

Seeing me, he hesitated and asked, "Your name is Gao Xiang?" ”

I nodded, stretched out my hand politely, and said, "You are the director of the archives, right?" ”

With a smile on his face, the middle-aged man walked forward quickly, shook my hand with both hands, and said yes repeatedly.

Then he turned around, opened the door for me, and invited me in.

You're welcome, because there are less than two hours left until 12 noon, and I want to know everything about the mansion as soon as possible.

Sitting in the car, Curator Lin also sat in, he closed the car door, and then let the driver in front of him drive.

The car slowly moved forward, Director Lin turned his head and asked me with a smile: "Gao Xiang, what is the relationship between you and Bai Flawless Bai Gongzi?" ”

"It doesn't matter, it's just that I used to go to the same school."

"Oh, really?" Director Lin responded a little disappointed, and then the smile on his face slowly faded, closed his mouth, and leaned back on the chair, looking like he didn't want to speak anymore.

"But although I'm just a classmate, my relationship with him is extraordinary, in school, we can be said to be iron buddies, even if we leave the campus, we often keep in touch." I smiled and continued.

When Director Lin heard this, a smile appeared on his face again, he sat up straight, took the initiative to talk to me, and treated me with respect along the way.

I know that he is not respecting me, what he is respecting is the white boy in his mouth, but I need him to do his best to do things for me, so I have to pull up the banner of white and flawless.

"Brother Gao, what are you doing with a shovel and gasoline?" Along the way, Director Lin and I were familiar with each other, he asked curiously.

"I had a friend who couldn't leave, and he asked me to bring it to him." I replied vaguely.

Director Lin didn't ask much, nodded his head, and said no more.

When the archives arrived, he and I got out of the car, and then he led me into a large room, which was full of bookshelves, and on top of the shelves, there were yellowed books.

"Brother Gao, if you want to know about the big mansion in Wanghe District, please come here."

Director Lin walked to a row of bookshelves, carefully pulled out a book from it, gently stroked its surface, and then handed it to me.

"That ancient house was built in the 20th year of the Republic of China, that is, in 1931, the person who built it was called Qin Dongtian, who was a famous general at that time, and our current Ancheng, who was under his rule back then, was a great person. In this book, there is a record of him. Director Lin said beside me.

I took the book, looked down and flipped through it, and when Director Lin saw that I was reading it seriously, he stopped talking and quietly retreated.

The book is very thick and records about the major events that happened in Anseong, and I skipped over some irrelevant ones and focused on the Republic of China period.

Soon, I found that section, just like Director Lin said, that big mansion was built in the 20th year of the Republic of China, and the name of the person who built it was Qin Dongtian.

It was an era of wars, and it was also an era of heroes, although China was unified on the surface, but in fact it was not, and the generals almost all had their own thoughts and calculations.

Qin Dongtian was no exception, he used his powerful army to conquer everywhere and constantly expand his territory.

Just when he was triumphant, he encountered a strong opponent, and he himself invaded Huaxia, and his army attacked Anseong.

At that time, the weapons were advanced, the national strength was strong, and the army's combat capability was very strong.

There are only two roads in front of Qin Dongtian, one is to defend the city, the city is in the people, the city is dead, and the other way is to escape.

Unlike some other generals who fled, Qin Dongtian chose to stay, and he let the people escape from the city, and he himself took his army to fight with the army.

After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, he suffered heavy losses, and the balance of victory tipped in favor of the army.

Many of his subordinates asked him to give up, saying that he was staying in Qingshan and was not afraid of running out of firewood, Qin Dongtian began to hesitate.

But in the end, he still made a surprising decision, that is, knowing that he would be defeated, he continued to fight with the army.

The battle continued, and in the rumbling artillery fire, in order to boost morale, Qin Dongtian rushed to the front line to fight with the enemy.

Encouraged by him, the morale of the soldiers was high and they repelled attack after attack by the army.

At this time, the army also realized that they had gnawed hard bones, and they no longer attacked, but changed their methods, besieging the city and cutting off the food and water supply in the city.

Without food and drink, even if the army does not attack, the soldiers will collapse, Qin Dongtian deeply understands this truth.

He led his soldiers to break through again and again, but the artillery fire of the helpless army was fierce, and he was beaten back again and again.

He was in a desperate situation, but he was not discouraged, and he called his colleagues and asked for their support.

The call was made, but the result was that it was a stone in the sea, Qin Dongtian was desperate, in such a situation, he decided to make a desperate bet and fight with the army to the end.

There are clouds in the art of war, put death and then live, left and right is death, he and his soldiers fought, it was completely a lifeless posture, in order to blow up a tank, some soldiers even got under the tank, and pulled their hands below**......

The battle was fought particularly fiercely, and both sides paid a heavy price, and when his army was about to be wiped out, it suddenly retreated like a tide.

It turned out that Anqing could not be attacked for a long time, and different voices were voiced within the army, believing that if the war continued to be fought, it would seriously affect morale and be detrimental to future operations.

In this way, Ancheng was saved, Qin Dongtian became a hero, and he was also rewarded by the supreme commander at that time.

But the world is unpredictable, such a hero, in 3 days after the victory, but mysteriously died violently, the cause of his death no one knows, people only know that after his death, the disaster is not alone, his family of 34, all killed overnight.

Who did it and why it was done, all this is an open question.

Closing the book, I let out a long sigh, grieving for the hero and for his family.

"Brother Gao, have you finished reading it?" Curator Lin walked in.

I nodded and put the books back in their place, the books in them are very precious, they are not borrowed, and some people can't see them even if they want to read them.

"Brother Gao, are your friends really going to explore that big mansion?"

"Yes, they love thrills." I replied casually.

"You'd better persuade them! Let them not go. ”

"Why?" I asked strangely, could it be that Director Lin had also been to that big mansion and bumped into a ghost there?

Director Lin looked left and right, saw that there was no one around, and then lowered his voice and said to me: "Do you think, he didn't die in the battle, but he died suddenly after the victory, and not long after his death, his family of 34 also followed, how much resentment must there be here?" ”

"That big mansion used to be his home, and after he died, for a long time, many people lived there, including many high-ranking officials, but without exception, they either had accidents or committed suicide inexplicably, and none of them died normally."

After a pause, Director Lin continued: "Although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I still feel a chill in my heart in the face of that big mansion, so I still hope that your friends don't go, so as not to ......."

Looking at me, Director Lin didn't continue, but his meaning was already very clear, that is, if you go in, there may be an accident.
