Chapter 21: The Chen Family's Mansion
The place where Jiang Zangjiao said he slept was in the west of the city and was a big mansion. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The high wall outside the house is surrounded by green willows and hangs low, and the verandah inside the courtyard is tortuous. Several large rooms are even more magnificently decorated.
It was a large mansion of a wealthy family.
But in the whole house, there was no one to be seen.
Deserted?
If it is abandoned, it should be in ruins.
The windows in the room are bright and clean, and the backyard is full of flowers. It's obviously taken care of.
"Of course someone takes care of it. ”
Jiang Zangjiao said.
Niu Hao looked around, and in the huge courtyard, there was no one else except him and Jiang Zangjiao.
Jiang Zangjiao saw Niu Hao's thoughts, and said casually:
"This family is different from ordinary people. ”
Jiang Zangjiao finished saying this, but he didn't say it again.
Niu Hao looked at Jiang Zangjiao and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
How is this owner different, like to hide from us?
Jiang Zangjiao stopped and didn't say anything, he didn't mean to sell Guanzi, he didn't know what to say.
Niu Hao brought out a posture of breaking the casserole, and Jiang Zangjiao could only continue:
"This family is like air to us ordinary people, but it exists but is invisible. ”
There are such amazing human beings in the world!
Niu Hao suddenly became interested, and asked Jiang Zangjiao:
"Can you see them, then?"
Niu Hao asked, and felt that he was stupid to ask.
If Jiang Zangjiao couldn't see it, he wouldn't have said that there was a transparent family living in the courtyard.
Niu Hao then asked:
"And how can you see them?"
This question is obviously more difficult to answer.
Jiang Zangjiao glanced at Niu Hao and led Niu Hao into a side room.
On the doors and windows of the room, yellow paper with charms drawn on them was pasted everywhere. On the table facing the door, there are several porcelain plates, containing snacks and fruits. The fruit is soft, and the rice noodles are covered with a layer of floating ash. In the brazier under the table, there is still burnt incense ash.
Along the way, this room is the dirtiest, and few people clean it.
Jiang Zangjiao led Niu Hao into the house and immediately closed the door. Then he said to Niu Hao:
"The host, who knows me well. He was also enthusiastic and willing to take out a house to take us in for the night. It's just that the owner of the house is hospitable and doesn't like strangers hanging around the courtyard. So, we obediently went to bed and left at dawn. ”
Niu Hao nodded, it must be!
The owner of the house loves to be quiet and does not like to be disturbed by strange visitors.
And the night is getting darker, the scenery in the house is chic, and the black lights can't look good.
Niu Hao asked:
"What's the owner's last name?"
"Chen. ”
Jiang Zangjiao replied briefly, jumped on the big bed in the room, spread out the futon, and seemed to be ready to sleep.
There was no light in the room, and it was pitch black.
Niu Hao touched the darkness, came to the bedside, and was about to climb up.
Jiang Zangjiao then said:
"You can't come up. ”
Niu Hao was stunned for a moment.
If I don't go up, will I sleep on the ground?
Jiang Zangjiao pointed to the door of the room at Niu Hao and said:
"You go and sleep in the opposite room. ”
The hall that enters the door is a two-room room with door to door. On the opposite side of Jiang Zangjiao's room, there is another room.
Jiang Zangjiao didn't like to sleep with people, and Niu Hao couldn't say anything, so he turned around and walked to the opposite room.
In fact, Niu Hao doesn't like to be crowded with people when he sleeps.
Compared with people, Niu Hao is more willing to live with animals like old cattle.
Niu Hao touched the darkness again and came to the opposite room.
Before coming, Niu Hao came up sleepy, and he couldn't wait to fall asleep.
walked all the way through the alleys and back streets, and came to this Chen family's mansion, but Niu Hao was refreshed and lost sleep.
Niu Hao touched the edge of the bed and sat down, turning his head to look out the dark window.
Jiang Zangjiao said that the owner of the house surnamed Chen is different from ordinary people. The body is transparent, making it invisible to ordinary people.
The owner of the house surnamed Chen has a more indifferent temperament and does not like to associate with people.
It's just that the owner of the house, surnamed Chen, has a too cold temperament.
The whole house is not even lit by a lamp.
The owner has an indifferent temperament and likes this dark and quiet appearance.
What about those subordinates, who are also used to this kind of life?
The location of the Chen family's mansion is in Qingyang West City.
The mansions in Xicheng are all deep-walled compounds of wealthy families.
The five-foot-high wall encloses the carved beams and paintings in the residential courtyard, but it can't stop the brilliance in the hospital.
Jiang Zangjiao led Niu Hao to this side house, next to the courtyard wall.
Through the high courtyard wall, you can hear the noise and lively voices of the neighboring people. It shows the desertion of this Chen family's mansion even more. There was a heavy air of death in the silence.
No lights, no voices. For such a quiet night, Niu Hao couldn't sleep.
Although the house is large, the owner does not like strangers to walk around.
Niu Hao really couldn't find anything to do, so he untied his burden and put the things inside on the bed one by one.
Small money, 32 pcs. There are those obtained from the three-way tea stall, and there are also those sent by the boat boss.
In the market, a small amount of money can buy two coarse noodle nests. Niu Hao is tall and has a lot of food, and the four nests can be stuffed.
Broken silver, I haven't weighed it, and it is estimated that there are five or six dollars.
One tael of silver is worth a thousand small dollars. These pieces of broken silver are definitely a lot of wealth for Niu Hao.
Seven grandma's hairpins, life-saving babies. Even if he starves to death one day, he will never take it out for food!
That jade bracelet is warm and crystalline. Niu Hao doesn't know the market, and he is estimated to be worth a lot of money.
The dagger of the dwarf winter melon.
There is also a piece of dragon scale.
Niu Hao picked up the dragon scales and touched them.
Can this thing do anything?
A rare thing that can't be sought-for will definitely be of great use. As for how to use it and where to use it, Niu Hao doesn't know.
A figure flashed outside the house, and Niu Hao turned his head.
The courtyard was quiet.
The moon that climbed up to the sky, sprinkled a cold light, reflecting the courtyard, and suddenly made Niu Hao think of a place.
Once, Niu Hao was herding cattle and overslept on the mountain, and when he woke up, it was already dark. But the old scalper was naughty and walked away from the usual hillside. When Niu Hao found the old scalper, it was already midnight.
Niu Hao rode the old ox, and the old ox walked all the way into the tomb outside the village.
That night, also in the first half of the month, the moonlight was cold, reflecting the graves and tombstones in the cemetery. Shadows are enough for you to see, but you can't see clearly. Then a cooing sound sounded, and a night owl fanned a gust of wind and flew in front of Niu Hao.
Niu Hao was hungry at the time.
Do you think Niu Hao will be scared?
The tombs are all buried by the fathers and elders of the village, and they are very familiar with each other. Those people are honest when they are alive, and when they die, they turn into ghosts, and they can't do anything out of the ordinary.
And Niu Hao believes that he has not done anything wrong, even if he is found by a ghost, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Niu Hao came to the window and looked into the yard, looking for the figure he had just walked by.
A human face suddenly appeared in front of Niu Hao.
Niu Hao was defenseless and screamed in fright.
