Chapter 127: The Old House
Glass shards are very common, but they are unusual in the backyard of the Lu family's villa, after all, this is where the servants live, if the servants invited by the Lu family can't even clean their own living environment, how can they clean up the villa of hundreds of square meters, not to mention that the Lu family has a large family, naturally there are children, if they are scratched by the glass casually, who can bear this responsibility?
What's even more strange is that when I was about to leave, I vaguely saw a figure portrait of a person reflected from the glass, at first I thought it was a mistake, so I turned my eyes and took a closer look, only to see clearly, there is not only a vague head on the glass surface, but even behind the avatar, I can clearly see a majestic palace with high walls and red ridges.
The vermilion lacquer gate of the palace has a plaque on the top, depicting two words: Li Mansion.
And on the carriage road in front of the palace, there is a black shadow kept wandering, about three or five seconds later, the black shadow stood quietly in front of the threshold of the Li Mansion, he looked back, the face was neatly fixed with this glass mirror, I will also stare at him, our eyes are straight to the hook, two red lanterns are hung on the vermilion lacquer door, just to illuminate the facial features on the face of the black shadow, I take a look, and my heart is stunned.
Isn't that face me?
In the middle of the night, what am I dangling in front of the Li Mansion, like a ghost?
I was frightened, my body slammed back a few steps, followed the back of my head poofed, knocked on something hard, and the bones of my body also hurt violently, as soon as I opened my eyes, I was stunned, I was still fucking still in the bedroom that Lu Xian prepared for me, where is the backyard of the Lu family!
The pain that came from my body just now was rolling off the bed and falling to the ground and hurting, I swallowed and thought, "Was it just a dream?" ”
I pinched my palm, it hurt, I got up from the ground, thinking about what happened recently, the dream is getting more and more real, I have some fears, worried about whether it will be a dream or reality, I can't tell the difference, I washed my face, only to calm down, looking at myself in the mirror, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking should be too stressful, only to be in a trance, right?
At this time, I didn't have the heart to sleep, out of the door, the Lu family was brightly lit, there were still a few tables of mahjong in the hall, and the upstairs room was quiet, I smoked a cigarette, and went to the backyard to see, I always felt that the dream just now was too real, very similar to the previous two times, but it was completely different, because in this dream, I was the only one.
When I bypassed the back door of the front yard and stepped into the backyard, I saw that the environment here was exactly the same as what I had in my dream, there were two rows of bungalows, and there was a man-trimmed pond in the middle of the backyard, and there were lotus leaves floating on the water.
I frowned, patted my face, there was a feeling of pain, I was sure that this time I was not dreaming, I cautiously leaned against the edge of the pool, my eyes glanced at the bottom of the pool, and sure enough, under a dry lotus leaf, there was a reflective glass mirror.
"It's the same as what I saw in my dreams?" I couldn't figure out what was going on.
I just stared at the glass fragments, the light shone on the surface of the water, the reflection at the bottom of the water, the fish swam and stirred up the ripples to disperse the light, with the sparkling water surface shaking, the glass that stopped at the bottom of the pool seemed to be like a black and white TV with a broken signal, the light shone on the glass, faintly there were some hazy pictures, intermittent, I didn't see it really, I just sat on the steps by the pool, staring at the glass, thinking that you have the ability to reflect the "Li Mansion" to Lao Tzu.
However, this time it is not a dream after all, the glass reflects the swaying ripples, and there is no palace in the Li Mansion, but there is a faint head pestle on the mirror, I rubbed my eyelids hard, gradually, the head is getting clearer and clearer, the outline of a human face emerges, and a house suddenly appears behind the face, as the outline of the house gradually becomes clear, I don't believe it at all, the house that appears on the glass mirror is actually the Lu family's half-mountain villa.
He wears a bell hat, a long beard on his chin, and a round face is very rich, and then I can't see it clearly, but I want to know what is going on at this time, so I lie on the edge of the pool, put my face against the water, and stare at the mirror, but within a minute, I feel that I have difficulty breathing, I can't breathe, my nose seems to be stuffed, and my whole lungs are distended.
"Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma, what are you doing?"
"Quick, pull him up!"
……
A few hurried voices sounded faintly in my ears, followed by my body stunned, the whole person hung up from the steps of the pool, my face was cold, all water, behind me were several big brothers, among them was an uncle, that is, Uncle Yan who was arranging the mourning hall in the morning, he looked at me with a shocked face, and asked: "Mr. Ma, what are you doing here?" ”
I was scared enough, and while wiping the cold water on my face, I said, "Wash your face, it's a hot day." ”
This embarrassing sentence can make Uncle Yan look confused, he asked the maid to bring me a towel, I wiped my wet hair, and my heart was weak for a while, so dangerous, I almost suffocated in this pool.
Uncle Yan asked the other servants to go back, he stayed to take me back to the house, I didn't want to go back, I looked at the bottom of the pool again, the glass was still there, I said, "Uncle Yan, can you help me scoop up the glass?" ”
He glanced at it, didn't say a word, and reached out to fish up a piece of broken glass so big at the bottom of the bowl, I held it in my hand, it was quite heavy, and I didn't see anything unusual, but I always felt that this glass was not simple in my heart, and asked Uncle Yan: "The doors and windows in this backyard, when have you changed the glass?" ”
Uncle Yan thought about it, shook his head, and said, "I haven't changed it, anyway, I haven't broken any glass in the more than 20 years I've been here." ”
I nodded, and he asked, "Is there anything wrong with this glass?" ”
"No, I'm just curious, who throws the glass at the bottom of the pool, doesn't it usually throw it in the trash?" I say.
"I guess some of the servants accidentally dropped it, I'll throw it in the trash can for him." Uncle Yan said.
I said no, I'll just throw it away later.
When it was done, I yawned and said I was back to sleep.
Uncle Yan said okay, sent me back to the front yard, I went upstairs alone, came to Chen Yihua's room, and knocked on the door of her room.
Chen Yihua opened the door sleepily and asked me what was the matter so late?
I walked directly into her house, took out the glass fragment, and looked carefully at the light, this glass is very ordinary, it is not that I have seen the mirror fragment in Old Man Lu's house, but how did it enter my dream and lead me to the backyard to find it?
"What the hell is going on?" Chen Yihua saw that I was not angry, she was a little anxious.
I told her what happened just now, Chen Yihua didn't figure it out, we analyzed it until the second half of the night, and my heart was still bottomless, so I put the glass in Chen Yihua's cloth bag, thinking that I would study it after dealing with the affairs of the Lu family, and then I went back to the house, took a nap, and the outside of the house was super noisy, I opened my eyes and saw that the sky was completely bright.
I walked out of the house and saw Lu Xian talking to Uncle Yan, I should have arranged something for him to do, and when he arranged the maid's work today, I went over to greet him and asked him if he could show me the family tree?
Lu Xian took a puff of cigarette and said, "Mr. Ma, do you still have to look at the family tree for the funeral?" ”
I shook my head and said, "I didn't need it, but I don't think it's right about your third brother, and I want to know more." ”
Lu Song thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay, you come with me." ”
I followed him and came to the fourth floor, there is only one hall and a lounge, the whole hall is a desk, and the walls are all bookcases, Lu Song walked to the edge of a bookcase, opened the bookcase on the ground floor, pressed a few passwords, and then opened the box and took out a stack of books, I probably counted them, there were at least seven or eight old books.
"Mr. Ma, the genealogy of my Lu family is all here, you can take your time." After Lu Song finished speaking, he sat aside and smoked.
I nodded and said okay, I thought about last night, the picture that appeared on the glass mirror was the Lu family's mid-mountain villa, and the figure avatar, I thought it should be a certain senior of the Lu family, according to the dress of the figure, it should be the dress of the last few decades, I looked through the family tree, and asked Lu Xian: "Brother Lu, when was your villa built?" ”
Lu Xian said: "I don't know about this, my grandfather's generation is here, but this house was not like this back then, I heard the old man say that this villa used to be an old mansion, it seems to be the mansion of a certain official in the previous dynasty, and then be specific, I don't know." ”
As soon as my heart sank, my hand stopped moving when I flipped through the family tree, secretly thinking that this villa was not built by Mr. Lu, but was rebuilt with the mansion of a certain official, and I thought of the situation I saw last night, and suddenly I had a feeling of enlightenment, could it be that the predecessor of this mid-mountain villa was the "Li Mansion" I saw in my dream?
At this time, I hurriedly checked the family tree, and after half an hour, I finally found a portrait, I looked at the face on the portrait, which was seven or eight points similar to the face that appeared on the glass mirror last night, according to the genealogy, this person's name is Lu Hou, the grandfather of the old man, and Lu Xian has to call him father-in-law.
But this person only has a portrait, the date and name of the voice, and as for his life, there is no record at all, which makes me very confused.
There is a portrait on the genealogy, which means that this person has done a lot in the Lu family, otherwise there is only a simple name and eight-character record on the genealogy, and it is impossible to draw his portrait on the genealogy, but since there is a portrait, there is no brief introduction to his life, which should be deliberately erased.
"Brother Lu, do you have an impression of this person?" I asked.
Lu Xian walked over to me curiously, he stared at the portrait on the family tree for a while, shook his head, and said, "No, I haven't heard of this person from the old man's mouth." ”
I was a little disappointed, I couldn't get an answer from him, I took a picture of this family tree with my mobile phone, of course I didn't let Lu Xian find out, and then I packed up the family tree, went out of the study, and came downstairs for breakfast.
Chen Yihua saw that I was up early, she walked up to me and asked me, "Guoqiang, what were you doing upstairs just now?" ”
I said that I checked the genealogy of the Lu family, and I took her to a place where there was no one, and said, "Yihua, I guess I can understand the luck of the Lu family." ”
Chen Yihua stared at me stunned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
I was about to explain to Chen Yihua when Lu Xian suddenly came over and called me, saying, "Guoqiang, Zhu Ying is back, but Mr. Liang and Mr. Xu are not here." ”
"What about others?" I hurriedly asked.
Lu Xian said that in the hall, I hurriedly ran towards the hall, and saw Zhu Ying sitting in the hall drinking tea with a tired face, a cup of tea was just a sip, and he drank several large cups, I came to him and asked him: "Mr. Zhu, where is Xu Daoming?" ”
Zhu Ying glanced at me, his face was a little stiff, he couldn't speak, I was so anxious that I couldn't do it, and urged him to hurry up, Zhu Ying glared, then rolled his eyes, and suddenly, he fell straight on his back, I looked at him like this, and the sudden situation scared me, and quickly pulled him......
