He spoke quietly: "If you go by yourself, you will definitely get lost." ”

I looked at him dejectedly, this mountain forest seemed to be able to walk casually in all directions, and I really couldn't tell the direction when I came.

"I know how to go, let me lead the way." He said as he took the lead and walked forward.

I followed him out of the mountains and forests, but found that it was not in the direction of Ye Zihan's house at all. "Where are you taking me?" I asked unpleasantly.

"As I said earlier, visit the ancient house." He walked skillfully and briskly, whistling in his mouth.

I stood there and looked around, and the sun was so strong that I couldn't open my eyes. Fortunately, the mountain breeze was blowing, which reduced a lot of heat.

Xiao Se walked for a while, looked back at me, and took off the baseball cap from his head. "The sun is so big, the next time you come out, you should wear a hat, otherwise you will get dizzy from the sun." Without waiting for me to speak, he folded back and put his hat on my head.

I reached out to take off my hat, but he grabbed my hand. "I'm for your good, such white and tender skin, it's not good to have spots when you get tanned." He shrugged, "There are all ancient houses in front, among which there is a 99-room big house, on the back half-slope, I promise, you won't regret it." ”

I gazed and saw a cornice in front of me, looming in the shadow of the ancient trees. The houses of the villagers are mainly ancient houses made of red and blue stones, and only a few have built buildings like Ye Zihan's family.

"Let's go." Seeing that I was silent, Xiao Se smiled, took my hand and was about to leave. I shook off his hand and walked briskly forward.

On the small asphalt road between the ancient houses, you can see cows pacing, dogs running, chickens and ducks walking, all of whom are not afraid of people.

I went up a slope and suddenly opened up in front of me. It is a good antique building, with red brick walls, swallow ridges, and hollow windows. Although the mottled wooden door, the knocker is rusty and mottled, and the lime of the walls is peeling off, revealing the mud. However, from the dovetail curved roof ridge and the painted pattern trim under the cornice, you can still imagine the "low-key luxury" of the ancient house.

"This is an ancient dwelling in the Ming Dynasty, and the people in the village call it '99 big houses', not that there are really 99 rooms, but because there are 99 doors." Xiao Se introduced to me that the ancient house was built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and has been more than 500 years old. Now the owner of the house is a young man named Ye Kaitai, who is Ye Zihan's distant cousin who is about to get married. His fathers had died, his two sisters had married elsewhere, and it was customary in the village that daughters could not divide the property, so the huge house belonged to him alone.

I took a closer look, and there was a big happy word on the main gate on the right side of the old house. The house is very deep, and there are faint voices coming from inside, and it is estimated that the people in the village are helping to organize the happy event. We don't want to break in casually, just hang around the door.

After a while, an old man came out of it. He was dressed in old clothes, with a slumped back, skinny, and a head full of gray hair, which stood on his head in a mess. "What are you doing again!" As soon as he saw Xiao Se, he asked fiercely.

"I'll bring my friends over for a visit, and I'll leave right away." Xiao Se accompanied the smiling face.

The old man snorted in his nostrils and staggered away.

I suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Xiao Se, he was so annoying, even a bad old man hated him. "Did you do something bad to offend him?"
