167, the old house of the Ge family
We followed the path in the village until we reached the old house of the Ge family halfway up the mountainside.
Because the Ge family was wealthy in the early years, his family's house was very large, entrenched in the middle of the mountainside, and the front yard and back yard were added together, which was more spacious than the courtyards of two or three neighbors in the village.
The courtyard walls of other people's houses are built with stones, and the inside is glued together with clay, but the courtyard walls of the Ge family are neatly stacked bluestone bricks, and the main entrance of the old house is also two dignified iron gates, and there are two stone lions outside the door.
It's just that these two stone lions are probably too old, and they have been seriously damaged, the stone lion on the left has its head gone, and only half of its body is left squatting on the ground, and the stone lion on the right is missing half of its body, and it looks strange.
When he came to the door of the Ge family's old house, Xiao Liang subconsciously walked up, raised his hand and patted the big iron door, making a "clang" sound.
Jiang Yongguang smiled and teased: "What? Do you still expect Ge Xueying to come out and open the door for you? It's too late for her to hide from us now, how can she go out to meet you. ”
Xiao Liang frowned and asked, "What should I do then?" This is someone's private house, and you can't ...... it."
At this point, she squinted her eyes and asked Jiang Yongguang, "Can we ...... in the end?"
Jiang Yongguang is not the kind of person who sticks to the rules, and said in a low voice: "Special period, special means. Ge Xueying has several lives on her back, and it is very likely that she also kidnapped Xiaomei, so she doesn't care about so many stinky rules. ”
After saying that, he went around to a tree next to the old house, and climbed the bluestone wall by the trunk of the tree in three or two steps, and after climbing over the wall to enter, he went to the door and opened the door for us.
"Come in."
We didn't hesitate and stepped inside.
As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a courtyard with a room on the east, west, and north sides of the courtyard. There are some flowers and plants planted in the middle of the yard, but it is estimated that no one takes care of them all year round, and it has long become overgrown. Weeds rob the flowers of nutrients, causing them to all die and become yellowed dead branches.
Uncle Mei walked to the west side of the room and took a look, and said, "This is the kitchen, but it shouldn't have been used for a long time." ”
I took a look at it, and saw that from the decoration design inside, it was indeed a kitchen, but except for some kitchen utensils, there was nothing, not even a seasoning, flour, rice, etc., which showed that it should be a kitchen that had been abandoned for a long time.
The room on the east side looks like a study, with two rows of bookshelves and a writing desk.
There is a desk lamp on the desk, and next to the desk is a black tape recorder, and there are several tapes on the tape recorder, including Stefanie Sun's, Mok Wenwei, and an old-fashioned winding alarm clock next to it, which looks like old objects for many years.
At that time, although tapes and tape recorders had not been completely eliminated, Walkman had begun to become popular, and those with slightly better family conditions would buy MP3 directly, so most of the things on this desk were a bit outdated.
Jiang Yongguang walked to the front of the desk, opened the drawer and rummaged through it, the drawer of the desk has three layers, the first layer is some stationery, and the second layer has a piggy bank, shake it to hear a crisp sound, it is estimated that there are a lot of coins in it, and the third layer has nothing, it is empty.
After looking around the study, we didn't find any useful information.
Finally everyone retreated and went to the house on the north side.
In fact, there are two rooms in the north of the courtyard, and there is a door between the two rooms, and the outer one is a living room, and there is a large round table of mahogany inside, surrounded by six mahogany chairs, which looks quite magnificent.
One of the rooms inside is supposed to be a bedroom, with a single bed and a large wardrobe next to it.
The bedding on the single bed had been put away, covered only with an old sheet, and I walked over and touched it, and felt a thin layer of dust on the sheet.
"There should be no one living in it for a while." I whispered, "The sheets are full of dirt. ”
Jiang Yongguang nodded, opened the large wardrobe casually, and saw that there were a few winter windbreakers, jackets, down jackets and the like hanging inside, looking at the styles are all young women's models, and the size of the clothes is also in line with Ge Xueying's size, it should be her clothes.
Jiang Yongguang flipped through the inner pockets of his clothes again, and pulled out a few faded tickets, all of which were long-distance buses from Chengdu to take.
Other than that, we still have nothing.
Uncle Mei was a little anxious, frowned and said, "How do you feel that no one has lived in this house for several years?" What clues can we really find here? ”
Jiang Yongguang said: "Third brother, don't worry, we have come from all over the world, it is better to look carefully, in case we can find any clues." ”
I also followed and persuaded: "Yes, uncle, the story of the Ge family is so evil, there will definitely be some clues in the old mansion." ”
Uncle Mei nodded and continued to rummage with us.
Coming out of the back door of the north house, I came to the backyard of the Ge family's old house.
There are still two rows of houses in the backyard, which should have been lived in by other families when the Ge family was prosperous, but now it is obviously no longer inhabited, and it is used as a warehouse, and some unused tools are put inside.
Further back, there is actually a small garden.
Although the rockery is covered with spider webs and the water in the pond has long since dried up, it can be seen that the ancestral house of the Ge family should have been built decades or hundreds of years ago very elaborate and exquisite, and it does look like a big family.
We walked around the backyard and never found any clues, not only Uncle Mei, but even Xiao Liang shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that there are no clues in the ancestral house of the Ge family, and the fairy girl in white has not been back for a long time." ”
But at this time, Jiang Yongguang squinted at the garden of the Ge family's old mansion, and said suspiciously: "Look, isn't this piece a little strange?" ”
I followed Jiang Yongguang's guidance and looked over, and it was indeed a little strange in front of me, but I couldn't say how strange it was.
Xiao Liang discovered the mystery and pointed to a bare place on the ground and said, "The garden is full of weeds, why don't weeds grow like this?" It's bald, just like an uncle's bald head. ”
It was only when she said this that I reacted.
It is true that the small garden in front of me is overgrown with weeds, and in some places the grass is knee-high, but there is a place between the rockery and the pond, but there is nothing bare, like the Mediterranean Sea of a bald man.
At this time, Jiang Yongguang walked to the bare place and looked at it, retreated a few steps, walked to the distance and glanced at the rockery and pond, and suddenly said loudly: "Wait! It's a feng shui bureau! If you regard this rockery and pond as mountains and water, this place where grass does not grow happens to be a treasure cave that hides wind and water! ”
