Solving Xie Huaiyu's problem, a few of us went back to my rented basement, my room was very small, and it was a bit difficult to accommodate three people. But there is no way, we are already tired like dogs, and we don't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, we just fall asleep.

After waking up, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, I was worried about the bloody handprints on my back, and I was worried that the people of the Bai family would come to chase and kill us to take revenge, so I hurriedly urged the old cat and rhubarb to go to the Bai family's ancestral house on the outskirts of the city to have a look.

I don't know what the origin of this Bai family is, no matter how prosperous their ancestors are, it seems that they have declined in the past hundred years, otherwise they would not live in the suburbs.

We took a long-distance bus first, and then changed bus lines a few times, and then we barely found the village where the Bai family is located, this village is in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing, birds do not, and there is a backward and gloomy atmosphere.

The bus stopped four or five miles outside the village, and when I arrived at the station, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and I got off the bus with the old cat Rhubarb and began to trek towards the village.

The location of the village is halfway up the mountain, and there is a mountain col in the distance, I asked a few words on the bus just now, and the ancestral tomb of the Bai family should be in the mountain pass.

There are less than 30 households in this village, most of them are old people, and young people have moved to the nearby county town, so the whole village is even more lifeless.

As we walked along the mountain road, Rhubarb muttered as he watched: "How is the outskirts of this big city so desolate, more desolate than my hometown?"

I shook my head helplessly and said: Every city has a desolate side, and not all of them are good.

As we were talking, we have reached the edge of the village, from here, the village on the mountainside looks very distinctive, the houses are lined up, all of them are typical northern tiled houses, among which the houses on the east side of the village are particularly eye-catching, because the design of the houses is very simple, and they are all black style.

The old cat only glanced at it, and immediately said: The east of the village should be the ancestral home of the Bai family, let's go over.

Rhubarb smacked his lips and said, "Master is Master, and you can see the Lord at a glance."

We walked east along the concrete road in the village, and occasionally we could see a few gray-haired old men sitting in the doorway chatting. It's almost seven o'clock now, and the light in the mountain is dim, and basically there will be no lights at all in another half an hour, especially since there are no street lights in this village, which is simply fatal.

It seemed that by the time we entered the Bai family's ancestral house, it would be completely dark, and I shuddered a little when I thought of this.

Fortunately, our feet were still fast, and when we walked to the Bai family's ancestral house, it was not completely dark.

I stood at the door and looked up, and the Bai family's ancestral house in front of me was a typical northern courtyard house design, although it was halfway up the mountain, it still had a nose and eyes.

Looking at this design, this ancestral house must be old, and it doesn't look like a post-liberation style. The perimeter is a ring of walls, close to a meter and a half high, very thick and heavy, with a sense of security.

The front is a large black door, and there are even door nails on it, and the Bai family was a big family at that time. It's just that because of the traces of time, the color of the big black door is no longer bright, and has even begun to fade, but despite this, it still gives people a solemn feeling.

There are about several rooms in the courtyard, the house in the north is upright, at first glance it is a meticulous work of paying attention to feng shui, I can't help but admire the delicacy of the Bai family's ancestral house, it seems that even if it is settled in the suburbs, this Bai family is not an idle person.

Rhubarb shook his head and said: Isn't it strange that this family is obviously surnamed Bai, but they designed their house to be black, could it be for humor?

The old cat said: What do you know, this is the principle of the five elements of mutual restraint, black is water, the Bai family should be related to wood in the five elements, so the ancestral house is designed to be black, and the meaning of taking water can prosper wood. In addition, water represents wealth and fortune among the five elements, and designing the ancestral house in black can also keep wealth and prosperity forever.

Rhubarb nodded as if he didn't understand, I actually didn't understand too much, anyway, there are too many doorways in this Five Elements Feng Shui, it seems that the old cat is indeed a knowledgeable person, and he can say so much truth by talking.

After looking at it for a while, Rhubarb asked, "Master, shall we go in directly, or should we go to the ancestral tomb of the Bai family first?"

The old cat thought for a moment and said, "Let's go in directly." With that, he took a step forward and walked towards the Great Black Gate.

As soon as the old cat's hand was pressed on the door panel, suddenly a cold voice sounded behind us: Who are you? What do you want to do?

When I looked back, I saw an old man with gray hair standing behind us on crutches, with a stern look in his eyes.

I hurriedly explained: Uncle, we are relatives of the Bai family, isn't this going back to the ancestral house to visit

When the old man heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said angrily: Fart! The Bai family has long been dead, how can you be relatives of the Bai family, you are simply farting!

I was stunned, I didn't expect that the Bai family was no longer there, which was beyond my expectations. Although it does seem that no one has been here for a long time in this house, it doesn't look like someone, but after all, the Bai family was a wealthy family back then, and it is not normal for it to become extinct so simply.

Rhubarb hurriedly came over to give me a round and said: We are distant relatives, distant relatives, uncle, don't get excited

The old man paused with his cane and said, "What distant relatives, all three of you?" Or who is?

Rhubarb hurriedly pushed me and said: He is, we are not, his name is Bai Yang, and he is a distant relative of the old Bai family.

The old man walked around me, looked at it for a while, and then nodded and said: "Distant relatives, why haven't I heard that the old Bai family has any distant relatives."

I quickly changed the topic and asked: Uncle, isn't the Bai family a big family in this area? Why are they all gone? What happened to them?

The old man sneered and said, "Big family? That was during the Republic of China! The old Bai family left no room for doing things, provoked a lot of enemies, the last wave of descendants survived by luck, I wanted to do some good deeds, accumulate virtue, but I didn't expect to be merciful, I remember it was more than ten years ago, the last family of four of the Bai family, just on the hillside in front, drove overturned, none of the four survived, the youngest doll Meng Erbai was only a few years old, so he went so much

When I heard the three words Meng Erbai, I trembled, and immediately understood that we had found the right place, it seems that Meng Erbai died more than ten years ago, and the little girl I met on the subway who loved to shoot the ball, if she lived a long time now, she would be in her twenties

The old man chattered for a while, and the things he talked about were nothing more than the reincarnation of heaven, good and evil are rewarded, and I could probably understand the rise and fall of the entire Bai family from between the lines of his words.

The Bai family has risen in the Qing Dynasty, and has always been a big family in the capital, because there were too many enemies during the Republic of China, and they suffered from the seedlings, so they ran here to repair the ancestral house of the Bai family, and wanted to be alone, but unfortunately the enemy still chased over, and after generation after generation of revenge, the Bai family only left Meng Erbai and their family of four.

It's a pity that more than ten years ago, the four of them traveled by car, and before they got out of the ravine, they had a traffic accident, and the Bai family has been cut off since then.

The old man said for a while, maybe he was a little tired, and he didn't want to waste any more time with us, he pointed to the old mansion of the Bai family, and said with a smile: If you want to go in, it's not impossible, but I can remind you, old man, there are ghosts in that house!

Without waiting for us to react, the old man walked away on crutches by himself.

I glanced back at the old cat, only to see that the old cat was still indifferent, as if he didn't have any idea about what the old man said just now, he stared at the Bai family's ancestral house quietly with a pair of eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Rhubarb crossed his arms and kept whispering to himself.

I asked, "Rhubarb, what do you say?"

Rhubarb said: You don't understand this, I'm chanting a spell, it's dark in a blink of an eye, the evil ghosts should come out of the hole, I have to chant some spells to scare them first.

I pointed to the gloomy Bai family's ancestral house and asked, "Then do we want to go in?" Didn't the old man say that there were ghosts in the Bai family's ancestral house? What if this bloody handprint on my back hasn't been solved yet, and I get into trouble with a new ghost?

Rhubarb glanced at the old cat with his eyes and said, "Listen to my master."

And the old cat still didn't say a word, quietly looking at the Bai family's ancestral house, at this time the sky was already dark, with the remaining sunlight, we can still vaguely see the scene inside the Bai family's ancestral house.

Because the house was built halfway up the hill, the house in the courtyard was higher than the outer wall, so we stood at the door and could see the windows of the northernmost row of rooms in the ancestral house.

I glanced at the old cat and saw that his eyes had been fixed on a window in the room due north.

I couldn't help but whisper: "Old cat, what are you looking at?"

The old cat ignored me, just stared quietly.

I couldn't suppress my curiosity, and I followed the old cat's gaze, and as soon as I looked, I heard the old cat say to me: Don't look, be careful to scare you to death.

But he was too late, and I had already stared at it. This look really scared me so much that my hairs stood on end.

I saw that on the window of the house directly north, there was a miserable white face!

The face was obviously a person, but there was no blood on the face, and it was as pale as a blank sheet of paper.

The man was wearing a cotton jacket with a big red flower, and he hid behind the window and looked at us coldly!
