Go around to the back of the stage, and sure enough, there is a road that is not wide. After walking along the road for a few minutes, a large banyan tree appeared in front of you. The big banyan tree occupies half of the road surface, because of the big banyan tree, the originally relatively straight stone road turns a big bend, the big banyan tree is high on a mound several meters high, in the south of the mound, there is a relatively large courtyard gate, and there are two large iron rings on the courtyard gate.

In addition to the large iron ring, there is also a faded couplet on the two doors: "The sesame seeds bloom high, and the river flows smoothly in the east."

There is also an eaves that extends forward above the courtyard gate.

The people of Li Dongting's family had already fallen asleep.

Lei Xiangming was just about to knock on the courtyard door, when several low dog barks came from the courtyard of a house next door.

Ouyang Ping grabbed Lei Xiangming's hand, who was about to knock on the door, and said in a low voice, "Does Li Dongting's house have a back door?" ”

"Yes. There is a river in the back, and the Li family also has a boat. ”

"Director Lei, let's take two people to the back."

"Okay, Lao Bao, Xiao Chen, you go to the back door."

Chen Jie went to the back door with Lao Bao and Xiao Chen. To the west of Li Dongting's house there is a small pond.

The three of them walked along the edge of the pond towards the back of Li Dongting's house.

Walking to the back of the courtyard, Chen Jie found that there was a small river behind Li Dongting's house - the pond and the small river were connected together, and Li Dongting's house had a back door. From the back door to the water's edge, there are two dozen stone steps, and a boat is parked under the stone steps. On the other side of the river is a mountain forest.

Let's go back to the front door of the Lee family.

After Ouyang Ping nodded, Lei Xiangming began to knock on the courtyard door: "Knock-knock-knock" The iron ring knocked on the wooden door, and the sound was unusually clear and loud.

The neighbor's dog barked even more happily. The barking of dogs drowned out the knocking on the door.

There was no sound of answer in the room.

Lei Xiangming knocked hard three more times: "Knock-knock-knock"

This time, there was finally a voice: "Who?" It was a hoarse, deep voice.

"Uncle Li, I'm Lei Xiangming!"

"What's the matter?"

"I'm looking for you something."

"It's Director Lei, you go open the door and put on a dress, it's so late, what can you do?" It's a woman's voice.

After a while, the lights came on.

The lamp met the hall from the east wing, followed by the sound of the door opening.

Footsteps come from far and near.

The deadbolt moves, the door is slowly opened, and the door shaft makes a "click" sound on the door socket.

Uncle Li opened a door and glanced out of the door.

Ouyang Ping and Liu Dayu walked sideways into the courtyard gate.

The old man felt that something was wrong: "Director Lei, what are they?" ”

"Uncle Li, has your son-Li Dongting come back?"

"I'm back, what's wrong?"

"What room did he sleep in?" The reason why Director Lei raised this question was because Li Dongting's family had more houses, Ouyang Ping swept it with his eyes, Li Dongting's house had eight or nine rooms, and judging from the current situation, it should be regarded as a solid family.

"Sleep in the East Room."

As he spoke, the East House opened, and a person came out of it: "Dad, who is it?" It's so noisy. The man rubbed his eyes and stretched his waist as if nothing had happened. The sound of the dog barking, the knocking on the door, and the sound of Lei Xiangming and Uncle Li talking, he should have heard it. Knowingly asked, but showed a little timidity and weakness.

It was Li Dongting who spoke, Teacher Li.
