I saw dozens of people surrounding a stout man in the middle, constantly shouting and scolding, and the man in fashionable clothes was anxiously explaining something.

"It's the sixth uncle." Shen Ke said to us.

I glanced at the group and said, "It looks like there's some internal conflict in your house." ”

"People are like that, isn't there a philosopher who said that even if there are two people left in the world, they will keep fighting?"

Shen Ke smiled bitterly as he looked at his uncle with an inquiring gaze.

Shen Yufeng waved his hand and said, "I haven't been back to my home for several years, and I don't know what happened recently!" ”

I glanced around absentmindedly, and my brain suddenly had a strange feeling inexplicably, this courtyard seemed to be different from other courtyards?

I glanced at it again, finally focusing on the very center of the courtyard.

Unlike other courtyards, there is no bronze lion in the center of the courtyard, but instead a rotating fountain with a diameter of five meters and a height of more than two meters.

It can be seen that this pond has just been repaired not long ago, and the clear water of the pond is rippling with summer, and the top vent is still spraying beautiful white water lines that slightly radiate sunlight into the sky.

It's just that although this fountain is beautiful, it has an extremely incongruous feeling with the surrounding scenery, and the space of this courtyard reveals a kind of depression everywhere, as if something is repelling this incompatible fountain.

"Shen Ke, you're finally willing to come back!"

Just as I was stunned, a nice clear voice came into my ears. A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old was screaming and running towards us.

"Who are you?"

Facing this beautiful girl who exuded youthful vitality all over her body, Shen Ke also began to be stunned, and after a while, he figured out that the girl was indeed called by her own name.

"Shen Xue! I'm Shen Xue. The girl pointed at herself and shouted.

"You're the daughter of the sixth uncle, the snot ghost?"

Shen Ke, who had already revealed an idiot's face, had obviously become more idiotic, he stared at the girl in disbelief and screamed loudly.

"You're the snot!" Shen Xue protested in an angry voice, and with a strong murderous gaze, she glared at me who was snickering on the side, and asked angrily, "Who are the two of them?" ”

"My friend, we're coming back for a vacation." Shen Ke pointed to the group of people who were still noisy and asked, "What happened to the Shen family?" ”

"I don't know, you're going to see the Ancestor, right? Let's go together. Shen Xue avoided talking about the topic, and then took Shen Ke's hand and walked out.

Xu Lu's whole body trembled slightly, and she followed with a calm face.

I walked for a while, only to find that Shen Yufeng hadn't followed.

Shen Xue, who was walking in front, glanced back at me, and suddenly seemed to have found something interesting, she let go of Shen Ke's hand, leaned towards me secretly, and asked in a low voice: "Your girlfriend doesn't seem to be very happy, where did you offend her?" She pointed at Xu Lu.

"She's not my girlfriend." I was secretly amused.

Shen Xue was a little surprised: "Then what is she unhappy about?" ”

"Do you know why men chase women like a mountain, and women chase men like a layer of paper, but often men can chase the women they want to chase, but women often can't chase the men they want to chase?" I asked lightly.

Shen Xue shook her head inexplicably.

I said: "Because men are not afraid of going over mountains and mountains, but women are afraid of hurting their fingers and are unwilling to pierce this piece of paper, but unfortunately, Xu Lu is a very female woman, and the boy who likes her and she likes is the kind of man who is not like a man, so it is extremely difficult for both of them to climb over mountains and mountains and pierce that thin paper." ”

"You mean...... Shen Ke is her boyfriend? Shen Xue asked in surprise.

"I'm afraid they haven't decided on a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship yet...... "I suddenly felt that it was a very humiliating thing to have these two good friends.

Shen Xue beside her showed a mysterious smile, the more she laughed, the more treacherous she became, and finally she couldn't help laughing.

"I'm afraid I'm going to see a good show in the near future!"

In the strange gazes of the two men in front of me, I heard the girl, who was probably a little nervous, muttering something in a low voice with excitement.

In this huge labyrinth of courtyards, I walked through it for more than ten minutes, and finally arrived in front of a courtyard with dark gray courtyard walls.

Shen Ke said "It's here", and then led our group in.

This place, like the other courtyards, is a decent courtyard building, but the other courtyards are decorated with exquisite glazed tiles, but there is no decoration here.

The stucco brick walls, naked and exposed, give a strong sense of oppression, and in the middle of the courtyard there is a bronze lion, but it is the largest statue I have seen since I came here.

The lion's huge body was more than six meters long and nearly four meters high, but it didn't look at the top of Guyun Mountain, just stared at the ground with teeth and claws, as if there was something there that was enough for it to fight for its life at any time.

"Didn't you say that all the lions looked at the top of the mountain? Why is this lion looking at the ground? I curiously pointed to the bronze lion and asked Shen Ke.

Shen Ke thought for a while, and said with a surprised face: "I remember that when I left a few years ago, the lions here were still looking at the top of the mountain. ”

"Yes, I can testify! When I came back last year, the lion was still looking at the top of the mountain strangely, but when did the ancestor replace it? ”

Shen Xue is also very strange.

"Swap it out? Impossible! I quietly walked under the bronze lion, pointed to the stone seat, and said, "I have long found that all the lions here are dead embedded in the stone seat, and the stone seat is buried in the earth I don't know how deep.

"And you see, the moss on the stone seat and the nearby flowers and plants do not grow overnight, if you want to replace such a big thing rashly, I dare not say how much manpower and material resources will be spent, and the nearby flowers and plants will also be affected, but there is no sign of breaking ground or starting work in a year."

"So what do you mean...... The bronze lion himself looked at the ground? That's ridiculous! "Shen Xue couldn't accept my words at all.

And Shen Ke and Xu Lu also shook their heads, obviously not believing it.

Shen Ke even said: "Xiao Ye, although what you said does have a little truth, I believe in physical theories more. If you flip through the book, is there any formula that proves that the bronze lion will suddenly change from looking up and looking back to looking down and staring at the image under certain circumstances? ”

"I'm just guessing."

I scratched my head slightly in embarrassment.

Although I thought it was strange, there was no evidence to prove whether I was right, or even whether it was man-made.

I'm still dumb, isn't that an obvious beating?

At this moment, an old and hoarse voice suddenly came out from the opposite side to relieve me.

"That kid is right, the bronze lion here has never been changed. It was indeed on the night five days ago, when it suddenly looked to the ground! ”
