I look at Aunt Xiao's expression and attitude, but I can imagine that this "old man Zhu" in the Internet café may not be very gregarious in normal times.

In fact, just because of the relationship just now, I already think that old man is unreasonable.

"Zhu Lao's stubborn personality is very strange, such as the demolition two years ago, what a good thing, who in other surrounding villages does not envy our village, but he is good, no matter how the developer discusses with him, he gritted his teeth and refused to let his house and foundation! Now that people have built a real estate project around his house, you can see that his house is stuck between two communities, not to mention the impact on the city, it has become a joke! Now, even if he wanted to sell his house and foundation, no one would want to! ”

Aunt Xiao finally ended one of her long essays, and Bai Xiaohe opened her mouth and asked again: "Does this old man Zhu have children?" ”

"Yes, there are two sons! The two sons are reasonable, but for the sake of demolition, the two sons also turned their faces with Zhu Lao! The younger son simply moved to the city where his father-in-law was, and the place where the eldest son lives is not far from the broken Internet café, but now he doesn't go to the old man, and only brings something to the old man during the New Year's holidays. In the words of the eldest son's wife, they often go to this Internet café, and they are ashamed of their husband and wife! ”

Bai Xiaohe hurriedly asked the address of Old Man Zhu's eldest son's house, and Aunt Xiao asked a young man to check it on the computer, and Bai Xiaohe wrote down the address.

I asked Aunt Xiao again when the house of Mr. Zhu's house was built.

Aunt Xiao said: "His house was built early, it should be when our country has just started reform and opening up in the past eight years, right?" At that time, the old man of their family was still alive, and it seemed that the house built to get Zhu Laostubborn married, it was thirty-five or six years! ”

"Then what did this old man do in the past, it was not easy to build a two-story building at that time!" I asked again.

As soon as I said this, Aunt Xiao immediately showed a mysterious expression, glanced left and right, and then lowered her voice and said to us: "Your comrade looks young, I didn't expect to see things quite clearly!" At that time, it was not easy to build a house, and it was impossible for a '10,000 yuan household' to afford it! I heard that the old man took out an antique from his family and sold it, so that he could build a house. And I also heard that when their eldest son got married, Zhu Laoqi also took out two antique calligraphy and paintings and gave them to his two sons. He also said that it was an heirloom of their family, and the two sons either continued to pass it on to their children and grandchildren, or sold the money to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law. Even if their family opened an Internet café, it was not necessarily very profitable, but when his eldest son got married, he bought a house with all the money. In addition, his youngest son moved to live in another city, how dare he dare if he has no money in his hands? So later, Zhu Lao stubbornly refused to give up his house and foundation, and some people said that their house was actually built on an ancient tomb, and the old man took out a few antiques to sell from this ancient tomb. ”

When I heard her say this, I couldn't help but feel moved in my heart, and hurriedly asked: "Is there an ancient tomb, and the workers and masters who participated in the construction of this small building back then have nothing to say?" ”

"Don't you say, when this kind of thing comes out, can our neighborhood committee not investigate? It's a pity that after so many years, it is really not easy for us to find out who we invited when we built this house, and whether these people are still alive. However, our neighborhood committee visited Zhu Laoqi and told him that if there is really an ancient tomb under their house, then it must be reported to the state! As a result, Zhu Laozhi became angry all of a sudden, and he almost had to fight with us, and then it would be gone, and no one would care about this matter anymore! ”

Aunt Xiao shook her head again and sighed, but I couldn't help but secretly wonder: Whether there is an ancient tomb under this Internet café, there must be something weird!

"Old Man Zhu's family moved from other places, or have they always been from this village?" I asked again.

"Why is this village not this village, strictly speaking, there are no people in our village!" Aunt Xiao replied with a smile.

This made me listen to it strangely, and I was busy asking what it was.

Aunt Xiao replied: "You also see that we are close to the sea, in the past, when the city was not developed, we were a very deserted beach, and then gradually some people moved to the beach to fish for a living, and Zhu Lao and his father were one of the first people to move over!" At that time, he seemed to have built a thatched house by the sea alone, and then more and more people moved over, and this old man also served as the village chief for a few years. The old man was a well-known long-lived old man in our village, and he had lived for more than a hundred years at the time of his death. In addition, he still has some legendary stories, and we have listened to my parents a lot since I was a child, so I still remember his story quite clearly. ”

"This old man still has a legend? Can you tell us about it? I immediately asked.

Aunt Xiao laughed embarrassedly when she saw me asking questions.

"Actually, there's really nothing to talk about, it's just adults making up to coax children, if you want to listen, I'll tell you about it, but you two don't say that I believe in ghosts and gods!"

She laughed as she spoke.

I hurriedly promised to listen to it, and Aunt Xiao said: "In the past, there was no one living on this beach, and it is said that it was because there was a sea snake that had become a spirit here, and the sea snake spirit was waiting for people to pass by here, and it would suddenly jump out and eat people." Later, the old man of the Zhu family passed by here, and the sea snake spirit rushed out to eat the old man. At that time, the old man was in the prime of life, and he actually had a big battle with the sea snake spirit, and he actually killed the sea snake spirit. It is said that at that time, the nearest village to this beach, which is now the seat of the old town of Gwanghae City, everyone there saw a white light rising into the sky, illuminating the night as if it were day! The next day, when people rushed to the beach, they saw a lot of dead fish and a sea serpent. There was a man who was skinning the sea snake on the spot, and that was the old man of the Zhu family. ”

When Aunt Xiao said this, she couldn't help but laugh again, and said: "Actually, there are no sea snake spirits in the world, I guess the old man just killed a few fish and a sea snake with explosives!" But at that time, people were ignorant and worshipped the old man as a hero! ”

I thought to myself, it should be impossible for the sea snake to become a sperm, but the white light that soared into the sky, maybe there was something really happening.

looked back at Bai Xiaohe, but saw a look of surprise on her face.

But before I could ask her what was wrong, she motioned for me not to ask her for the time being.

I couldn't think of anything else to ask for a while, so I had to make an agreement with Aunt Xiao to come back to visit if I had any questions in the future.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Xiao and walking out of the neighborhood committee, I asked Bai Xiaohe with a smile: "You seem to have something you want to tell me, right?" ”

"It's that white light, and that sea snake spirit!" Bai Xiaohe replied.

I was amazed and immediately asked her, "What do you mean, there really is a sea snake spirit?" ”

"Whether there is a sea snake spirit or not is not necessarily, but there is indeed such a legend in our Guanghai City, which is said to be in ...... Seventy or eighty years ago, when our country had not yet been liberated and was still in chaos, one night a white light suddenly radiated from the seashore, illuminating the whole night as if it were day. According to legend, a hero killed the sea snake spirit entrenched on the seashore, and the white light was emitted when the sea snake bead that the sea snake spirit had been practicing for thousands of years broke. Many of us in Guanghai City have heard of this legend, but it is just ...... I didn't expect that the legendary hero would actually be ...... Zhu's stubborn father! ”

I secretly rejoiced in my heart, because in my experience, all folklore is not all groundless, and there must be something strange in it that we have not yet investigated.

In other words, there may really be some ulterior secrets under Zhu Laoqi's Internet café.

At that time, it was close to noon, and Bai Xiaohe and I met Ding Sijia to find a place to have lunch first.

During this period, Ding Sijia asked us if we had made any discoveries, whether "Heaven and Earth Infinite" would be He Chao.

I knew that she had become convinced that it was He Chao's ghost that was haunting her, and in fact as the investigation deepened, I began to believe it.

But of course I won't tell her the truth, lest she feel more uneasy, just tell her that things are not as simple as she thought, and that nothing is still certain.

After eating and paying the bill, we drove to the address of Zhu Laoqi's eldest son.

It was a residential complex built more than 10 years ago, and the residential buildings in the community were not only slightly old, but also the kind of low-rise buildings without elevators.

Zhu Lao's stubborn son lived on the third floor, and Ding Sijia was reluctant to climb the stairs, so she stayed in the car, and Bai Xiaohe and I climbed upstairs and knocked on the door with the house number.

It just so happened that today was Sunday, and Mr. Zhu's son and daughter-in-law were all at home.

Bai Xiaohe showed her police ID, and the couple hurriedly let us into the house.

Zhu Lao's stubborn son's name is Zhu Pan, and he doesn't seem to be good at words.

Zhu Pan's wife told us that both of them worked in a nearby factory and earned money for their strength.

"I heard that your old man has a lot of antiques and the like, and he didn't take out some for you to sell and do business after?" I asked the question bluntly.

When Zhu Pan's wife heard this, she shook her head again and again.

"To be honest, as soon as the two comrades entered the door, I knew what was going on! It must have been the two of them who listened to the gossip outside, and really thought that our old house was built on an ancient tomb, right? In fact, there is no such thing at all, it is completely those people who are idle and have nothing to chew on the root of their tongues! I haven't lived there, but I've been inside and out of the house, and there's a basement down there, which I dug when I built the house! The two comrades thought about it, if there really was an ancient tomb, when the house was built and the basement was dug, could the workers not report it to the state? ”

"There's a basement over there? What is it for? I immediately asked.

"What can it do, it's a mess of clutter!" Zhu Pan's wife said.
