Ren Qiancang was silent, and when he was silent, my heart beat faster, and my hands trembled slightly with nervousness. If Ren Qiancang chooses Xu Xin, what should I do? I shouldn't have mentioned it at all, so let's at least maintain the current relationship. Or is it in Ren Qiancang's heart, Xu Xin is more important than me?

When my mind was full of sad thoughts, he looked at Xu Xin on the red bed, and said for a long time: "Okay! ”

Ren Qiancang agreed to me, but it made me open my mouth wide in surprise. He reached over and pinched my face: "What expression?" ”

"Did you really say yes? Or think about it again. Or maybe you know Xu Xin better than me, you go and test her. ”

Ren Qiancang smiled and said, "Shangshang, you said you want to trust me." In the previous contact with Xu Xin, I can already feel that she is different from before. Even if it is the same soul, time and circumstances will change many things. And yesterday and today she was tentatively asking me if there was a lotus pond in the big yard. What she wants is not only the love she once had, but also the secrets of the Ren family. Since it is possible that she and Bao Ye's master know each other, and Bao Ye's master advocates ruining the Ren family. At this time, Xu Xin asked about the lotus pond, isn't it too coincidental? I even think that if it continues to develop, Xu Xin will dare to jump into the pool and destroy the Ren family. Until I find the secret, I will not allow anyone to destroy the Ren family. ”

My heart sank, anyone, including me?

He continued: "I don't know if Bao Ye did it intentionally or unintentionally, and told us about the lotus pond, so that I have an embankment for Xu Xin. I think with Bao Ye's temperament, he won't admit defeat, and he will come back. ”

I nodded. Ren Qiancang jumped off the tree and stretched out his hand towards me: "Come down." ”

"Huh? Jump? ”

"I can catch you."

Although the height is not very high, just over three meters, I still get nervous because I rarely climb trees. The last time I jumped, there was a car with my feet there, but this time it was really difficult. I moved there, and gave myself courage, Ren Qiancang waited under the tree all the time, and he didn't urge me.

When I finally mustered up the courage to jump, I was hugged by him. He buried his head in my chest and said, "Shangshang, in fact, I miss the days with you in Xiaolou very much. There are not so many disputes, just the two of us. ”

I hugged his head: "Hmm. We will be back for a stay. When all this was over, we came back to live. ”

When Ren Qiancang and I returned to the small building, I continued to eat my dinner, and Ren Qiancang called Xu Xin and said that he would send her home first.

I know that if he sent her back, he should have mentioned the matter of letting their family move away. I didn't think much about it, and after eating, I took medicine and took a shower and went to sleep. Anyway, I lived in this small building for the past two days, and I thought it was a holiday for myself.

When Ren Qiancang came back, it was already eleven or twelve o'clock, and I still knew that he touched my forehead with a slightly cool hand to see if I still had a fever. After that, I was confused again.

When I woke up the next day, Ren Qiancang asked me to dress up and prepare to go to the Tibetan Museum with him to receive Yuan Xue, in addition to the old professor and Wu Guang, the third person who was still alive in the photo. Except for the three of them, the old man in the photo has died.

He had mentioned this to me before. It's just that at that time, there was a bit of a contradiction, and it was delayed.

We went to the Tibetan Museum together, and on the first floor of the Tibetan Museum, I saw Yuan Xue who was introducing a set of incense offering tables to the guests. Yuan Xue was dressed in a black professional suit with white gloves, covering the wounds on the back of her hands. She explained fluently, so that the master who followed her couldn't help but nod his head in approval.

Sensing that I was looking over there, Ren Qiancang also looked over and said, "Yuan Xue is really good." The professional knowledge is solid, and he is also beautiful and has affinity. ”

Follow Ren Qiancang up to the second floor, it was still the antique reception room last time, the old man hadn't come over yet, I was sitting on the big chair, playing with my mobile phone, and Ren Qiancang was slowly making tea in the room separated by the bead curtain.

There was a knock on the door, and I quickly opened the door with a smile. But it's all to the mouth, the old man is good, and he swallows it raw. Because the person who came was Yuan Xue.

"Yuan Xue? Why are you? ”

Yuan Xue looked at Ren Qiancang behind the bead curtain over there, and immediately explained: "I sent the guest out of the door, and I told the master before I came up." ”

"Come in. You came to me? I pulled Yuan Xue and walked in. She must have never been up to this reception room, looking around, exclaiming from time to time.

I didn't rush to bother her, looking at antiques was originally her hobby and profession.

I waited until she had seen the same thing before I asked her to sit with me in a large chair and talk. Who made that big chair so big that it could sit comfortably for two people?

Yuan Xue said: "Shangshang, I read the report and said that the second young master of the Ye family, his face was bitten by a wild cat in your house, and he was blind in one eye. I saw that the wound was very similar to the one on the back of my hand. Isn't it...... The cat. ”

I lowered my head and smiled lightly, arranging the beige lace skirt to hide my weakness: "Yuan Xue, you can't keep that cat, and it can't be obedient enough for you to take to your grandfather's grave and burn it." So be it, don't ask the cat. I'm also for your good. ”

"Then tell me what that cat is. It's definitely not your average cat. Otherwise, it would not have lived in the tomb for hundreds of years, and after it came out, it would have lived for decades. ”

Ren Qiancang said behind the bead curtain: "If you know it's not an ordinary cat, don't ask." If you want to go back to your parents, just mention it to your supervisor and ask him to give you three months' salary. You're a professor of archaeology yourself. There are a lot of customs and legends in this, so we don't need to make it so clear. ”

Ren Qiancang's words obviously carry more weight than me. Yuan Xue didn't insist any longer, got up and said to me, "I'll go down first, I'm still at work." ”

I got up to send Yuan Xue out. As soon as Yuan Xue came downstairs, an old man came up, and my first instinct was that he was waiting for us today! The old man had white hair, an old face was already full of wrinkles, and he was wearing an old military uniform, and he still looked very energetic.

I hurriedly smiled and said, "Hello grandpa!" It's waiting for you. ”

The old man looked at me, still serious and did not speak. I was a little confused. The last time I received the old professor, I took the old lady with me, and they were all people who liked to tell stories. And this one has a serious face, not like he likes to tell stories. Looking at him, he is the kind of old-fashioned, difficult to get along with, I don't know if I can get some clues today?

Ren Qiancang also walked out and stepped forward to shake hands with the old man. The old man still looked unhappy and said, "I also asked my old comrade-in-arms to play chess." What do you two children have to talk to me? ”

The old man sat down on the soft couch, and he didn't look at the old things in the room, but looked like a person who didn't understand antiques like me.

Ren Qiancang immediately took out the chess board from under the table and put it on the table, and said, "I'll play a game with grandpa." ”

The old man's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face. It turned out that Ren Qiancang had already investigated this old man's hobby. The two of them played chess, and I added water and poured tea on the side.

The old man took the chess piece, touched it in his hand and touched it, and said, "What is this chess piece made of?" ”

"Ivory. If the old man likes it, he will give this set of chess to the grandfather in a while. ”

"Don't, I can't fit this thing in my house. The Ren family is worthy of the Ren family. A chess game is enough for us to buy a house. ”

Ren Qiancang said while walking chess: "Grandpa is so emotional about the Ren family, I have also been in contact with the Ren family before." ”

"Well, it was more than fifty years ago."

Chess is played, and the story is told. That afternoon, we learned more about the events of that year. The old man also said that the corpse would move, and he raised his hand. also said that the Taoist priest of the Ren family took the teenage apprentice to take away the corpse. What was said before and after was similar to what the old professor said.

The only difference is that the Taoist priest who came to pick up the corpse at that time was not only Wu Guang and his master, but also a Taoist priest. That Taoist priest was still very young at that time, and he heard that he was the descendant of a feng shui family, so Wu Guang and his master respected him very much. And the young Taoist priest seems to be very rich. Because he has his own camera. At that time, cameras were still a luxury, and they were basically only available in newspapers or something, and it was impossible for individuals to have them. But the Taoist priest took a picture of them with a camera. That's why there is the photo in Yuan Xue's hand.

It turned out that there were a few people in the photo that we had been caring about, but we hadn't paid attention to it, and there was a person with a camera.

The old man also said that when he was in a daze, he heard the two Taoist priests chatting. The one holding the camera said, "The boy seals the tomb, and it is just right to use her to restrain the child's parents." Don't dissolve her resentment, let's just be careful. Take care of your Wu Guang. A little kid! ”

The old man said that the reason why he still remembered these words so clearly after so many years was because he was so shocked by the content of the words. He didn't sleep all night after that, so he repeated this sentence in his heart many, many times. For so many years afterward, he would sometimes recite this sentence silently in his heart in a daze.

The old man took the chess piece, ate one of Ren Qiancang's chess, and said: "Your Ren family, did you really seal the tomb with a boy?" ”

Ren Qiancang smiled and didn't answer, and the old man sighed and said, "Alas, lack of virtue." Your ancestors lacked virtue! ”

After playing this game of chess, the old man left. It's as if it's us who do bad things, and he doesn't bother to talk to us. Although the old man's face was not good, we respectfully sent him downstairs and asked the security guard in the collection to drive him back.
