Chapter Seventy-Four: The Past
"This is my wife, Chen Mei. "www.biquge.info Wang Haijing first introduced the middle-aged woman in front of us to us, and then invited us in very politely.
Near the door is a huge celadon vase, and not far away, a palm-sized bamboo. And the porcelain lotus incense burner, exudes an intoxicating aroma. In the living room, there is only a Nanmu square table and a set of tea sets, and there is a picture of Fengshan in the early morning. The whole hall is decorated in an antique and pleasant way.
"Can you two see my daughter now?" Chen Mei stood aside and kept wiping her tears.
"Nonsense! The two distinguished guests came to the door for the first time and didn't even drink a sip of tea......"
"It's okay, take me to see it." Xiao Pan interrupted Wang Haijing's words and continued: "Trouble uncle and aunt to lead the way in front." ”
"Where is the trouble, it's obviously me who troubles the two masters." Chen Mei hurriedly walked to the front.
"Didn't you say before that Xiaoxue was in the hospital?" I muttered quietly. Xiao Pan pinched me violently, leaned into my ear and whispered, "If you don't say that, will you come early?" ”
After listening to Xiao Pan's words, I quickly closed my mouth and stopped talking, and silently followed them to the door of a room.
Chen Mei knocked lightly on the door three times, and waited for a moment before pushing the door and walking in.
The room was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, the walls were pasted with the pattern of the starry sky, Xiaoxue sat on a pink dresser in a daze, kept combing her hair with a wooden comb, and muttered in her mouth: "Yurong is lonely and tears are dry, pear blossoms are a branch of spring with rain, Xiaolou listens to the spring rain overnight, and the deep alley sells apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty." ”
As soon as Chen Mei saw Xiaoxue's demented appearance, tears flowed down instantly: "Yesterday, she played the flute for a whole day, and finally rested for a night, and she kept combing her hair since morning. ”
Xiao Pan didn't speak, took my hand and walked to Xiaoxue's side, and gently patted her shoulder.
"Hehe~" Xiaoxue let out a slight laugh, that kind of laughter was not like the voice of an adult woman, but more like a child who was only five or six years old. Her head moved, and she slowly turned back.
I felt nervous inexplicably, my palms were sweating, and I subconsciously clenched Xiao Pan's hand.
She turned, her eyes glowing with a cold, purple glow that seemed to pierce your eyes and reach your brain.
"Haha~haha~haha~" Her mouth was crooked, and she let out an unbridled laugh, and the laughter was like an extremely sharp blade, inserting into your heart.
I reflexively wanted to take a few steps back, but Xiao Pan's hand was like an eagle's claw, clutching my hand tightly. He didn't have the slightest fear, and his eyes were level at Xiaoxue.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Xue's eyes, and she said in an extremely old voice, "You're not afraid of me? ”
"What do I have to be afraid of you, you will die sooner or later anyway!"
Xiaoxue's eyes suddenly dimmed.
"You all go out and leave him behind~" Xiaoxue's voice was like a thunderclap, making people tremble.
Suddenly, in the middle of the room, a strong wind blew Xiaoxue's long hair, and she stared at me angrily, as if she wanted to tear me to pieces.
Xiao Pan suddenly turned his face and shouted at Wang Haijing and his wife, "You go out first." After speaking, Xiao Pan suddenly hugged me.
"Nerves~!" I was just about to break free from Xiao Pan's embrace when I suddenly felt a hard cylindrical object in my chest.
"I'll put it in your breast pocket for you, don't use it until you have to." Xiao Pan bit my ear and said in a low voice.
After speaking, Xiao Pan slapped me a few times: "Take care!" ”
Suddenly, Xiao Pan's hand loosened and walked out quickly.
In an instant, the wind stopped suddenly, and there were only two people in the room, Xiaoxue and me.
"Knock knock!" I could hear my own heartbeat. Xiaoxue stared at me so viciously that I felt a chill run down my back.
"Are you a girl?" Now that I have no way out, I plucked up the courage to ask.
"Hello, haha, what a joke, do you remember? I thought you didn't remember having this sister for a long time. Xiaoxue laughed loudly, laughing and laughing, and a line of blood and tears flowed.
I don't know what I have to do with Chen Nian, but Nan Nan already thinks I'm his brother. People say that ghosts also have feelings, they keep the memories of their past lives, human emotions.
"Nannan, do you remember the eighteenth year of Kangxi?"
"Eighteen years of Kangxi?" Xiaoxue's eyes blurred.
Suddenly, this scene came to my mind: Chen Nian, Nannan, and Chubby standing on the empty street.
I only heard Chen Nian say: "That high-rise building is the tomb of the predecessor Tang Duo, don't disturb it." ”
"Okay." Nan Nan said with some disappointment.
Chen Nian saw that his sister was a little unhappy, and hurriedly said: "I remember that there is a wood carving in the back street that is exactly the same as this building, let's go buy one." ”
Nan Nan's eyes lit up, and there was joy in her eyes: "Okay! All right! ”
"Chubby, let's go." When Chen Nian saw that his sister was happy, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, shouted Xiaopang, and then pulled his sister all the way to run.
In a thrift store, Nan Nan held a cylindrical purple wood box and gently pressed the metal switch.
"Boom!" It opened at once.
"This is not an ordinary wood carving, this is the hiring of fine Cantonese carpenters, using the finest rosewood wood, to make a fragrant wood carving, meticulously carved. Then the glass pieces of Western barbarians are inlaid together, and this becomes a screen. Then ask a clever painter to paint landscape figures on the glass, which is lifelike. Hey, although those Westerners are all outsiders, but things are still good. The shopkeeper said on the side.
"It's beautiful!" In the reflection of the sunlight, the glass becomes dazzling.
"How much is that?"
"This was originally sold for twenty taels, since it was bought by the county commander. The villain didn't dare to ask for more, fifteen taels is good. ”
"So expensive!" Chen Nian just put his hand into the money bag and took it out again.
He secretly glanced at his sister and found that she was looking at an object and couldn't put it down. Gritting his teeth, he walked to the boss and whispered: "You go to the county office tomorrow to ask my father for it, and say that I broke your things worth fifteen taels." ”
"This ............"
"Don't worry, I'll leave you a note." After speaking, Chen Nian picked up the brush on the counter.
"Brother, what are you doing? I don't want it. Nan Nan walked to the counter and put the wood carving back. But the wood carving was so beautiful that she couldn't help but look at it twice.
"It's okay, you know that my father loves me the most, it's a big deal!" Chen Nian put the wood carving on the counter into a round box and handed it to his sister.
"Brother, you're so nice." With tears in her eyes, she held the wood carving.
Chen Nian handed the written note to the boss and said, "Shopkeeper, my father knows my handwriting, you just have to hand it over to him tomorrow." ”
After saying that, he led his sister out.
