"What's wrong with you?!" My father yelled with a tigerish face. My mother didn't help me this time. I guess I looked really abnormal.

How could I care about these things at this time? I pointed at the jade pendant and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

It could be seen that my parents were very angry. My mother said: "I told you that this is passed down from our ancestors. What are you afraid of? I won't eat you."

After the panic when we first met, my heart gradually calmed down. Thinking about it, nothing happened to this jade pendant in my family for so many years. Maybe I thought too much, so I reached for the jade pendant.

My mother always warned: "Be careful this time, don't lose it again."

I nodded and took the jade pendant from my mother's hand. It was indeed the same as the boss said. It was just a rectangular jade sign with a peony flower carved on it. There was a small hole on the sign for tying a rope. There was nothing.

A particularly surprising place.

While I was looking at it, I asked, "Dad, how many ancestral jade pendants like this do we have in total?"

Dad was obviously still angry and said, "Ask your grandma." As soon as he said this, he obviously remembered that grandma had passed away. It was unlucky to say such a thing. He coughed hurriedly and said, "This is the piece your grandma passed down to me."

Our family has always been a single family. Although there were forty or fifty families living in the old house in the past, most of them were outsiders who rented in. Since grandma only passed down one jade pendant to my father, it must be just one piece.

I opened my mouth and wanted to tell my father about those dry wells, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. I was afraid that he would start scolding me again for not doing my job properly. My mind was full of writing novels, and I couldn't tell what was reality and what was fantasy.

After dinner, I made an excuse and immediately slipped out of the house with the jade pendant. I was full of wine and food, and my parents had a lot of strength. They were determined to bombard me. Sincerely, I'd better apply oil on the soles of my feet as soon as possible.

Good.

I came to the house Erliang left me and packed my things for a while. Suddenly I felt that there was an extra person in the room. I straightened up and turned my head. There was nothing in the room, and there was no such thing as that hole on the white wall.

Well, my eyes were staring at that wall, as if that person was hiding inside the wall.

Everyone has a large, empty white wall in their home. That wall is so white, as white as the face of the female ghost in those horror movies. If you can always feel it on a wall like this,

Would you be scared when you see someone there, or even hear someone's weak breathing in the room?

Yes, at this moment, I even heard the breathing of another person in the room, but I was not afraid. At this moment, I didn’t know why I wasn’t afraid. At this moment, the phone rang again,

My text message has arrived.

When I open my inbox, it’s still the same number and the same sentence:

"Come back and see me!"

I took a breath and immediately replied with 4 words:

"I'm back."

The place Yang Hui mentioned is actually not too far from the city where I live. Although it already belongs to another province, after taking a long-distance bus for almost 8 hours, I finally arrived in this province famous for being the base of the Red Revolution. Of course

, there is a saying that the older the base area, the poorer it is. I don’t know if this is the case in other places, but where I am now is really a very underdeveloped place.

It was already afternoon when I arrived, so I had to find a hotel first. Although the conditions were not very good, the price was cheaper. After completing all the formalities, I asked the landlady if there were any places of interest in the area.

He enthusiastically introduced me to many places, but unfortunately they were all related to the revolution. I took out the photos and asked the landlady if she recognized such an old house. The landlady shook her head and said she had never seen it before.

I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, I've just arrived here. I'll have a good night's rest. I'll ask some old people tomorrow. I called Erliang to say it was safe, and then I climbed into bed and rested, but I couldn't sleep even after tossing and turning.

No, there is no internet here, so I took out the photo from my pocket. It was the little girl next door who the second aunt said she wanted to introduce to me. She was in a hurry and didn't even ask her mother for her name.

The little girl in the photo was smiling slightly, and the little wrinkles on her nose were indescribably cute. I couldn't help but scratch it lightly with my hand, and said to myself: It's her.

I woke up early the next day, not because I had recovered from fatigue, but because I was really not used to sleeping. I simply got up early and went for a walk outside. I also asked some old people if they knew this old house.

Where is it? It's a pity that there is no museum locally. Otherwise, I would like to go to the museum to see if I can find any clues.

I left with high hopes, but came back disappointed in the evening. All the local elders I asked said they had never seen such an old house. I reported it to Erliang dejectedly, and Erliang said: "Maybe, that person just came here."

Send a letter, that old house may not be in this place."

I shook my head: "It should be here. Yang Hui once said that he found this old house in this place."

Erliang pondered for a moment and said: "It might be in a remote countryside. You wait for me here while I look for connections to see if I can find such an old house. I have already asked for leave, and I am joining

On the day off, I can barely spend a week with you."

This is good news for me. I am really not used to being alone in this place without internet. It would be great if Erliang was here. At least there is someone to chat with me. Thinking of this, I looked at the photo and thought

Thought: Of course it would be better if you were here.

I really wanted to ask my mother to ask the second aunt next door to get this little girl’s phone number so that I could chat with her via text message first, but because I was afraid that my mother would urge me to go back as soon as I called, I thought about it better.

Bear with it, besides, I don't have any confidence in my heart at all. Why should such a beautiful girl like me, who doesn't even have a job?

Because I didn't sleep well the day before and walked a lot, even though I was not used to sleeping in an unfamiliar bed, I didn't wake up until noon the next day, and I was woken up by the ringing of the phone.

I picked up the phone and it was Erliang. He said, "We found it. It is indeed in a remote mountainous area in this small city."

I was very excited and asked: "Then when will you come over?"

Erliang said: "I have already booked a ticket, and I think I can arrive in the evening. But my friend said this place is a bit weird."

I was stunned for a moment: "What's weird?"

Erliang on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and said, "They said it was very evil there."

Erliang didn't talk much to me on the phone, saying that he would talk in detail when he came over in the evening. But because the car broke down on the road, he didn't arrive until after two o'clock in the middle of the night, and the two of them grabbed some food at a roadside stall.

, chatting while eating.

I asked Erliang: "What do you think is weird about this old house?" There must be some weirdness in this old house. So many things that happened in the end are more or less related to this old house. If

If you say that this old house is not weird, then it is really weird. But I am curious about how weird it is.

Erliang put down the chopsticks in his hands and said: "I asked a friend to ask a local folklore expert. He immediately recognized the photo I uploaded from the computer and said he knew this place. According to research, it has been there for hundreds of years.

Historically, according to relevant data, the owner moved out soon after the house was built. No one knows the reason.

Originally, the local government wanted to develop it into a tourist attraction, but no one in the area dared to work inside, saying there was something weird there, so they had to hire a group of outsiders to do the work. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for someone to say they saw something, so

I was so frightened that everyone ran away, so I had to drop the matter."

I became more and more curious: "What did you see?"

Erliang took out some photos from his pocket and said, "He is the one who said he saw things. I have wanted to give you the other photos for a long time, but I haven't had the time. Take a look."

I took the photo, and the person in the first photo looked familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a moment. Erliang took a sip of tea and said, "It's Yang Hui. The group of non-local workers hired by the local government is the engineering team that Yang Hui is in charge of.

"

I said "Ah", and Yang Hui was dead. Of course, no one knew what he saw anymore. I continued to look at the following photos, all of which were of the same person. Erliang said: "This person is Chu Jiangshan, of course."

The real writer Chu Jiangshan is not the one who wrote the letter."

There were several photos of Chu Jiangshan, ranging from young people to middle-aged people. I stared at one of the photos non-stop. The more I looked at his face, the more wrong he looked. Erliang also noticed something was wrong with me and asked: "Why?"

Already?"
