Chapter 01: The domino in the ancestral hall

Next Chapter

This is a common small village in the mountains, and the villagers who have been tired for a long day have already fallen asleep before midnight, and occasionally a few insects can be heard in the quiet village.

"Quack... Quack..."In the middle of the night, with the cry of the wooden door, three teenagers pushed open the door of the ancestral hall. "Xiao Liqi, what do you want? This is all in, doesn't it say that there is treasure? The boy on the left hand side of the door, slightly shorter and with a fleshy face but with funny big glasses, asked in a crisp voice. That's it, hurry up! Didn't you say that you want to act secretly at night? The thin boy on the right hand side of the door, with his hands clearly above his knees, said worriedly, after all, it was late at night, and there was fear in the boy's eyes. Didn't think about anything, four-eyed, skinny monkey, let's go! The treasure is in this ancestral hall, and there, in the innermost part, on the table that you see. The boy named Xiao Liqi, who had been stunned, came back to his senses and replied with his hand pointing inside, he was not very tall, with good facial features, or very ordinary, but there was indescribable shrewdness in his eyes.

The ancestral hall is a place for the Han people to worship their ancestors and sages, this ancestral hall is really nothing special, to say that there is a feeling that the inside and outside are particularly large, unlike modern interior design, with mirrors, or the use of furniture to highlight the room is very large, it seems that people come in and feel big, unspeakably big, big. The wooden structure is built without a single nail like the Golden Temple of Wudang Mountain, and the ground is also made of large pieces of agarwood, complete trunks, evenly paved. The atmosphere will be weird, there are three teenagers standing in the big ancestral hall, and inexplicable fear invisibly envelops the hearts of the three teenagers. "Squeak" took a step, the agarwood let out a low sound, and the three teenagers involuntarily accelerated their pace, although Xiao Liqi tried his best to stop the four eyes and the thin monkey, wanting them to be lighter and slower, but they gave up after finding that this was useless, and soon arrived at the table where Xiao Liqi said that the treasure was enshrined, the "treasure" was covered with a red cloth, and no one could see anything special, it was very ordinary, which ancestral hall was like this, "This is nothing special?" With an indescribable loss in his tone, the four eyes looked at Xiao Liqi dissatisfiedly and asked. The thin monkey just wanted to say something, but saw Xiao Liqi put his hand to his mouth, made a silent movement, opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything. After a while, the thin monkey found Liqi, was looking at the tablet intently, he felt that he should still instruct the four eyes, although he was also full of anticipation hope that Xiao Liqi gave himself and the four eyes a reasonable answer, but remembered that Xiao Liqi said to himself If you want to be late at night, ancestral hall, adventure, treasure, then you have to listen to me, you can't let the four eyes be destroyed, the treasure deeply attracted the thin monkey, and the thin monkey was once enthusiastic, so he believed that Xiao Liqi, this playmate like an adult, would not betray their friendship. Thinking of Xiao Liqi's silent gesture, the hesitant thin monkey still took advantage of the fact that Xiao Liqi was not paying attention, so he whispered to the four eyes, "Xiao Liqi, didn't you say it?" Listen to him in all actions, O treasure! If you don't want it, you can leave, it's all me and Liqi, right! Liqi? After thinking about it and smiling, he probably felt that no matter how small his voice was, he would still be heard by Liqi! But Xiao Liqi, who was out of his mind, didn't hear it, but the four eyes did not speak. Even if the smile is the most good to people and relieve the atmosphere, but in the middle of the night, the embarrassed smile of the thin monkey even overshadows the horror of the late night, and scares the four eyes a lot. Shook his head helplessly, looking at the tablet, Xiao Liqi knew very well that his ancestral hall was definitely not ordinary, not even an ancestral hall, because of the annual worship, he was also standing far away, and he couldn't wait outside the door, he just saw his father from a distance bowing three times and nine bowing to the tablet covered with red cloth, and said something intermittently. I, my mother, and my uncle, could only wait far away until the ancestral hall shook and responded to my father, and the worship ceremony was over. Xiao Liqi was sensible very early, so he has always listened to his father's words and never walked into the ancestral hall, but in his own ancestral hall, why was my mother's tablet not put in by my father, and why didn't my father let me see my mother for the last time? And after the death of my mother, my father was still in a trance every day, and he was much older, and he would come to the ancestral hall if he had nothing to do, and he would stay for a day, is it important that his mother is not as important as the ancestral hall? Thinking of this, Xiao Liqi strode forward, as if he had changed a person, and jumped up and uncovered the tablet covered with red cloth on the ancestral hall...... "Ah..." The tranquility was broken, and a terrifying scream came from the night, waking up the dream of a village.

The red cloth was uncovered, and a soft light shot out, Xiao Liqi felt warm and indescribably comfortable. 'It's not good, I didn't scream, because I knew there was something weird, and I was prepared, but Four-Eyed and Skinny Monkey, it was not good to be discovered. Thinking about it, Xiao Liqi turned around, looked at the four eyes who were much shorter, and lowered his voice slightly angrily, "Don't call it four eyes!" "But I found that Four-Eyes and the Thin Monkey were looking at him with a distorted face, as if they had experienced the most terrifying and incredible thing in his life." Xiao Liqi: You... You... Your face... "face" accompanied by a trembling voice, the four eyes fainted happily, Xiao Liqi asked for the answer in the eyes of the thin monkey, although the thin monkey did not scream, but looked at Xiao Liqi with the same shocked face, as if he saw the great horror that he couldn't believe in this life, his legs couldn't stop trembling, under the moonlight, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, as if he was greatly frightened, after all, it was a child. At this time, Xiao Liqi didn't think too much about the reaction of the four eyes and the thin monkey, but turned his head and looked at the tablet in front of him intently, it is better to say that a bone, a bone diamond-shaped crystal clear, flashing in the night, bright but not dazzling light, warmth made Xiao Liqi stretch out his hand, want to pick up the tablet, finally he saw his hand, realized that he was wrong, and thought of the reaction of the four eyes and the thin monkey, before I came in, it was not as high as the table, and now I have grown taller? Not only that, but also my hands, getting old, thought, he slowly touched his face with those withered hands, no surprise, "I'm getting old, right?" Xiao Liqi didn't turn around, but asked calmly. The thin monkey's nerves reached the extreme of patience, but he still mustered up great courage to say "En", and then turned backwards, fainting with a smile, "Alas" Xiao Liqi sighed, turned around, squatted down, stretched out his old hand, touched the four eyes and the pulse of the thin monkey, and made sure that it was only after fainting, he exhaled, at this time the tranquility outside the ancestral hall was broken, the village was brightly lit, and it looked like the posture would come soon! Xiao Liqi thought, looked at the thin monkey and the four eyes, picked up the domino and flipped out of the back window of the ancestral hall...
