Xu Jingshan continued: "All the things in this house are our family's things, and the baby is naturally our family, thinking of this, I am a little obsessed with money, holding a candle in my hand, I slowly lay on the ground, and shined under the bed, lying under the bed, I felt an inexplicable cold under the bed, I shivered at the time, I was scared I didn't dare to look at it, but at this time, suddenly my eyes lit up, and under the bed was a golden thing, so I looked carefully.

This look at my heart is a joy, the things under the bed, under the light of the candle, golden light, I am not cold at this time, holding the candle slowly lying on the ground, and then crawling towards that place, getting closer and closer, and when I get closer, it is a golden lotus Ruyi swaying. ”

I heard that I was a little confused here, so I asked Xu Jingshan, "Mr. Xu, what is that step shake you are talking about?" We rough people in the countryside don't understand. “

Xu Jingshan said: "This step is a hairpin or hairpin with a pearl and jade pendant on the top, which is named because it sways when walking. According to "Shi Ming Shi Jewelry": "Step shake, there are hanging beads, and step is shaken." When walking, the white pearl cinnamon branches and ear rings sway with the footsteps, turning stillness into movement, and the idiom of flower branches trembling is because of the shaking of steps.

I watched the branch shake very exquisitely, inserted in the black thing, there swaying slightly, the beads on it, with the light swaying, I saw the golden step, I wanted to pull it with my hand, but at this time, suddenly the candle in my hand jumped to more than a foot high, and then slowly shrunk, until it became a bean-sized fireball, the candlelight illuminated the bottom of the bed particularly scary, I knew that the big thing was not good, I was going to retreat, at this moment I suddenly felt as if someone was blowing a cool breeze next to my neck.

I felt someone behind me, right next to my neck, I quickly turned my head to look, this look frightened soul scattered, only to see behind me, I don't know when, a head grew, that head did grow in the ground, only to see no hair in front of the head, behind is a withered braid, the whole face glows blue and white, the color is a bit like dry bones, the whole eye socket is bulging outward, but there are no eyeballs, in the eye socket flashes green and faint light, like a seductive soul, with a big mouth, The mouth showed white teeth, and it looked like he was panting with his mouth wide open, or shouting for help.

My brain was stunned for a moment, I wanted to climb to the side, then I looked to the side, only to see that there was a thing slowly on the ground outward, before Jin Buyao was inserted in that thing, I took a closer look, those black things, are some hair, and after the whole grows out, I can see clearly, it is also a human head, this head is obviously a woman, but the same eye sockets bulge outward, with a big mouth, as if shouting desperately.

I was almost stupid, and now I could only crawl upward, when a pair of small hands suddenly appeared from the ground, and grabbed my clothes at once, and I couldn't help but pull up, and suddenly a small head emerged from the ground, with a big mouth open, and let out a terrible cry. I threw away the candle in my hand in a fright, and when it turned dark under the bed, the whole person lay on the ground and didn't know anything.

Then I felt stuffy, stuffy, I opened my eyes and found myself in a dark place, but I could see the contents clearly, it was a basement, and I couldn't continue to look any further, because it was so stuffy, I kept clutching my clothes and neck with my hands, trying to catch my breath, but I couldn't breathe.

My eyes began to bulge outward, and my lungs were about to explode, and then three people came over, two adults, a man and a woman, and the other was a child, and the woman was wearing a golden step on her head, and she walked and shook slightly, and all three of them had their eyes bulging outward, and their mouths were wide open, clutching their chest clothes and necks, and they were desperately panting like me.

At this time, a man's voice sounded in my ears, and the man said: "You unworthy descendant, you have sealed our house, we can't breathe, we can only be suffocated to death, you also have to taste the taste of not being able to breathe, being suffocated to death." ”

At that time, I was no longer afraid, because the most important thing in front of me was the idea of trying to catch my breath, and at this time it became more and more powerful, and I really thought I was suffocating to death. On the second day, I felt a little cold, and when I opened my eyes, I was lying on the ground under the bed, under the bed was neatly paved with green bricks, lime hooked floor, and the bed was clean and clean, and there was nothing.

I knew that the night was not a dream, so I went to the old man in Zhuangshang to ask what was going on, because I had been doing business with my father all the year round, and after my father traveled west, I didn't know anything about my family. So I bought some things, went to the old man of the village, and finally learned all the secrets of the house from the old man's mouth.

Many years ago, our family was a big family, and when it came to the Xu family in Xujiazhuang, there was no one who didn't know about the Xu family in a radius of dozens of miles, up to the eighty-year-old man and down to the eight-year-old child. Our family has a piece of land, a herd of mules and horses, there are many businesses in the city, the Xu family has two brothers, one of them is my grandfather, my grandfather is in charge of the business in the city, and my second grandfather, young at home to take care of the family business, it is said that such a good day, everyone is envious, but there are unforeseen circumstances, people have good fortune and misfortune, the doom of the Xu family came, because the Xu family has a huge wealth, so it attracted the attention of the bandits.

At that time, the Boxers were in trouble, and the army was sent to suppress the bandits, but at that time, the officials were corrupt, and because the second grandfather was squandering money and fighting righteousness, the Boxers did not embarrass my second grandfather, but as a righteous officer and soldier, he hit my family's idea. Late one night, the officers and soldiers ran to my Xu family, saying that my Xu family was a bandit, and the soldiers robbed, and finally the whole Xu family was burned down by fire.

My second grandfather is a family of three, since then I have not seen anyone, I have not seen a corpse, my grandfather was too sad, and he did not come back outside, and then I understood why my father was dying, why I had to build the Xu family compound. At this time, I also understood why my second grandfather's family did not see anyone alive or dead, and it turned out that they had died in the basement under the bed.

When I thought of this, I didn't dare to tell others what happened last night, because I was afraid that someone would have bad intentions and steal property, and when I returned home, I took a lot of effort to move the wooden bed, and then used a crowbar to pry open the green bricks one by one, and then slowly dug down with a shovel, and when I dug to a depth of two feet, I suddenly dug out a stone slab, I slowly cleaned up the surrounding soil, and then lifted the stone slab vigorously, but the stone slab seemed to be sucked by the ground.

Finally, I used a crowbar to dig a hole in a place around the slate, and as I chiseled the hole, I felt the inhalation of the surrounding soil, and when I inhaled, I made a whining sound, and the sound was like a cry. It makes people feel chilled and uncomfortable.

After a long time I stopped inhaling in, and with a force of my hands, I lifted the slate, and suddenly from inside, there was a rotten smell, which smoked me back several steps. After a while, I looked inside, inside is a basement, the walls of the basement are sealed with white plaster, this kind of wall is impermeable to the air, very strong, you can see a lot of space inside, I saw the basement wall, there are torches and torches burning, the carbon black left behind, at that time I thought to myself, this is the basement of our Xu family, there must be a treasure hidden in the basement.

Thinking of this, I was very curious, and I left my fear behind. I found a torch, lit it, and went down the steps slowly, and with every step, I heard my own footsteps, which formed many echoes in the basement, making people feel very empty.

I was a little scared at this time, but a huge curiosity drove me to continue walking, the whole basement was made of white plaster, the light was in the ground, reflected by the white plaster, emitting a strange white light, then I suddenly felt someone behind me, my scalp began to explode. ”
