Chapter 13 The Luo Family's Ancestral Home

The ancestral residence of the Luo family is located in Xiaqi Town, which is one of the gentle water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

More than ten years ago, after the death of Taizu Xian, Grandma also returned to her children's and grandchildren's house, and the ancestral house was completely empty.

The new generation of juniors of the Luo family will either go away from home and settle down in the capital like Luo Yunyu, or they will be like her distant uncles and uncles who stand on their own in this small town, and still be a farmer who works at sunrise and rests at sunset.

The horizon had just been white, and before the ink cloth had been completely stained in the night, the town was already full of people. The smoke of the morning cooking, with the yellow warbler crying, dissipated in the gentle wind.

Luo Qinghe grew up in the Luo family's current mansion since he was a child, and he visited the old mansion only a handful of times, and most of the time he followed his father back to save his relatives, and the old mansion in his memory became even more blurred.

All that remains of her childhood memories are the cries of sugar traffickers in winter, the greasy oil cakes, and Taizu's rough, wrinkled hands.

The memories of the alley gradually ferment in the passing years, making the nostalgia clearer and clearer.

"Xiaoxiao, let's go."

Luo Qinghe took his sister's hand and strolled through the alley together.

I haven't been here for many years, and now I am surprised that the Xiaqi Town in my memory is no different from the beginning.

The old houses with white walls and black tiles, the long and lonely bluestone slabs with dark fragrance, the old mottled brick walls, and a few thin weeds shrunk in the cracks...

All of them made her feel very dear.

"Sister, it's so beautiful here." Luo Xiaoxiao was full of curiosity and amazement about everything around her, she had never been to such a peaceful and gentle water town where every flower and tree was glowing, and she seemed to have slowed down in the middle of it.

Not far from your feet is the Xiaqi River, where the slightest breeze sweeps across the water, making the river crow's feet, which is very interesting.

Even on a winter day when the limelight is like a knife, there is Xueling Mountain in front of the town to resist the cold wind from the south, and the town is still comfortable and pleasant, and the four seasons are like spring.

Such a good climate is really friendly to Luo Qinghe, who is particularly afraid of cold.

Luo Qinghe was overjoyed: "Yes! ”

She pointed to Luo Xiaoxiao to the house in front of her right: "You see, when I was a child, I listened to my grandmother tell me that there were ghosts there..."

Luo Xiaoxiao just looked in the direction she was pointing, but before she could speak, Luo Xiaoxiao quickly retracted her gaze, and she stomped her feet: "Sister! I'm most afraid of ghosts! ”

Luo Qinghe smiled: "I didn't lie to you! Forget it, I won't tease you. ”

Indeed, Grandma used to tell her a lot of strange things about this town.

Those old courtyards, old bluestone alleys, all of them are the traces of the collector's years and the stories of life.

Similarly, there are many inexplicable legends in the collection.

Step on the small arched bridge, and the ancestral house is not far away.

"Catch him!"

There was an angry shout in the distance ahead, and before the words fell, a man stumbling and running in front of Luo Qinghe and his party looked panicked, and he seemed to be holding something tightly in his arms.

Every now and then, the man looked back for fear of being caught.

Seeing this, Chu Heti flashed forward and made a protective gesture in front of the two of them.

"Miss?" He asked Luo Xiaoxiao's opinion in a low voice.

Luo Xiaoxiao casually glanced at the person who was about to bump into her behind Chu Heti, and said lazily: "It's better to be nosy, who knows what entanglements there are." ”

"Yes." Chu Heti replied in a low voice, but he still looked at the group of people chasing after me vigilantly, for fear that something would hit his own young lady.

Luo Qinghe pulled his sister aside and prepared to turn sideways.

She didn't want to get involved in idle things, and this trip to Xiaqi Town was not only to pick up Uncle Chen...

Between the lightning and flint, the man who stumbled and ran galloped to the bridge and passed by them, and the Luo Qinghe sisters were startled at the same time, and their pupils slowly dilated-

Luo Qinghe noticed that the corner of the man's arms was exposed, and it was an antique-enamel ware. Her heart was pounded like a hammer.

She has seen countless rare treasures in the Luo family since she was a child, and her eyes are vicious, so it is impossible to admit her mistake!

After my father's favorite collection was lost from the Luo family a few months ago, the second uncle and she have been sending people to look for it, but unfortunately there is no news. Now, meet it in the most unexpected places and in the most incredible way!

Regardless of whether there were two identical enamells in this world, even if they were exactly the same as the Luo family's one, she would do whatever it took to investigate them, not to mention, she simply did not believe that there would be a second such a unique treasure.

Luo Xiaoxiao saw the face of the man rushing from afar, and was stunned, and then a nameless evil fire burned in her heart-Zhao Ya! It turned out to be him!

How did that stupid thing from the adoptive parents' house come here? She has not forgotten the days when pigs and dogs were not as good as pigs and dogs in the Zhao family in the Zhao family, and naturally, she did not forget their stupid son Zhao Ya, who had intellectual problems since he was a child.

A hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, and before she had time to repay her adoptive parents, this idiot actually came to the door by himself? Hmph, then don't blame her for being rude!

"Someone! Stop him! ”

Luo Qinghe and Luo Xiaoxiao shouted loudly at the same time, and before the words fell, the two of them glanced at each other, and their eyes were surprised.

In a flash of lightning, Chu Heti swept the hall with a leg, and instantly knocked the man who was passing them to the ground. The man was caught off guard, and the antique in his arms flew out of his hand, drawing a perfect parabola, and flew towards the river—

Under the bridge is the Xiaqi River, although this is a town like spring all year round, but after all, it is a winter river, where can it be gentle?

Luo Qinghe's pupils dilated suddenly, and his actions were one step ahead of thinking, and he took three steps and five divisions to fly up, hugging the enamel color vessel tightly-

She let out a long sigh of relief before falling into the biting river, but luckily she had protected her father's favorite antique.

Luo Qinghe fell into the water and made a heavy splash.

The winter clothes were thick and heavy, and at this time they were all soaked in water, dragging her whole body as if she was weighing a thousand pounds, accompanied by a biting chill, densely piercing her whole body. She choked on several mouthfuls of water, but unfortunately she had not yet learned to swim, and the suffocating sensation of almost drowning last time came back, and a deep fear churned in her heart, and the fluttering movements of her hands were a little slower.

Without paying attention, she drank several more sips of river water.

Everything happened in an instant, and just as Luo Xiaoxiao was about to jump down, the man who appeared out of nowhere took off his shirt and flew straight to the place where Sister Ah fell into the water.

Apparently he is very good at water, like a nimble fish.

He hugged Luo Qinghe's waist tightly and swam to the shore.

"Antiques..."Luo Qinghe whispered inarticulately. She choked on several mouthfuls of water, but she still didn't forget the baby she desperately rescued.

When she was about to fall unconscious, the person holding her suddenly said, "Don't worry." When he heard the man's last words, he completely lost consciousness.

After putting Luo Qinghe back on the shore, the people of the Luo family rushed up, and he turned back and picked up the enamel for her.

Seeing the man come ashore, Luo Xiaoxiao looked at him vigilantly: unlike the yellow man's pupil color, his eyes turned out to be light blue. But it's beautiful, deep and blue like the sea in the middle of the night. She secretly wondered, do men also like to wear contact lenses?

To her surprise, his shoulder-length hair, coupled with his delicate features, especially the peach blossom eyes with long eyelashes, made him a little more indistinguishable.

Looking down further, the muscles that have just come out of the water are firm and tight...

"Ahem." The man coughed, and Luo Xiaoxiao came back to his senses.

After she ordered someone to send Luo Qinghe to the nearest hospital, she smiled at him: "Thank you benefactor for saving my sister!" ”

Before the man in front of him could reply, the person behind him hesitated: "Young master, the thief has been caught by them, you see..."

This "they" are obviously from the Luo family.

Ooh? Luo Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, it turned out that they were the ones who wanted to arrest Zhao Ya.

She lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, and her beautiful eyes turned: "Since he stole your things, our people happened to catch him again, and now I will hand it over to you and let you dispose of it." ”

After speaking, Luo Xiaoxiao glanced at Chu Heti standing behind her, and Chu Heti understood.

The man in front of her nodded.

I saw that he quickly wiped his body with a towel at will, put on his coat and wanted to leave. Luo Xiaoxiao trotted two steps in front of him: "May I ask the name of the benefactor?" When Sister is well, we will come to the door together to thank you. ”

He arched his hand: "Shen Xuhuai." ”

After speaking, he turned and left.

His subordinates were very eye-catching, and took out their business cards from their chest pockets and handed them to Luo Xiaoxiao.

Luo Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, Shen Xuhuai, chairman of Shen's Group.

"Ati, find someone to keep up with them. Be careful, don't get noticed. ”

"Yes, I have already been told."

Luo Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her mouth, and the meaning of her eyes was unclear.

*

Pei Jiangzhi tried his best to search for the tools available nearby, but helplessly, except for a few half-dead grasses and thorns growing outwards on the inclined wall, there was only the vine man on his waist.

"What bad luck!" He gritted his teeth and said, "Xuyun, don't move down there, wait for me to find a way to go down!" ”

Rubbing the back of his head with a faint ache, he looked around, and locked his gaze on the vine man around his waist.

There's really no way, just use it, and the rest depends on his life.

If his life is great, then he should not be extinct. When he goes out, his murderer should die.

Pei Jiangzhi once again thanked himself for playing extreme sports with the old man on his back, and practiced a good skill of rock climbing in the club. He smiled bitterly, if not, it would be him who was done now.

I dragged the vine man hard, but it was unexpectedly strong. I made up my mind, stretched out my foot and kicked the branch that stood on the cliff wall hard, barely usable.

After wrapping the vine man, aim for a few landing points.

He took a deep breath, even if he was uninhibited on weekdays, but whether this involved his life or death, he was still a little nervous.

He lifted his steps, his muscles tensed, and his concentration was highly focused—

One step, one step at a time.

When there were still two or three people high from the bottom of the valley, a wild monkey that appeared out of nowhere was crawling towards the branch of Pei Jiangzhi's Fujiman...

Pei Jiangzhi was engrossed in the cliff under his feet, so he naturally didn't notice it.

Xu Yun kept an eye on Pei Jiangzhi's every move, and seeing this, he urged eagerly: "Boss! Hurry up! There are wild monkeys—"

The shouts echoed through the empty valley for a long time.

Pei Jiang knows that he is really unlucky!

His feet quickened, but at this moment, the wild monkey had just climbed the branch—

The fragile branch could no longer bear the slightest weight, and without incident, it broke.

Pei Jiangzhi listened to the whistling wind in his ears, and suddenly froze for a moment.
