Chapter two hundred and ninety fourth official residence
As soon as it started moving, we were shocked by the speed of Bai Xiuyuan's white hedgehog. Those four short legs were like stepping on hot wheels, and the speed was almost as fast as the four-wheel drive.
And the way she walked was not at all the direction we came in, the temple gate of Baixian Temple, but the small door behind the statue where she was found before!
This small door, which is comparable to a dog hole, is really a small test for our figures. After all, young children may need to bend down and shrink their heads if they want to pass through.
It's okay for a skinny guy like me, but the two boys behind me are not as successful as me. Lang Hongyi is too tall and strong, and Zhang Wei may be eating too well, and the flesh on his belly and buttocks has become long and round recently.
His weight is approaching the 160 mark!
In the end, Lang Hongyi almost managed to get through the hole with his hands and feet on all fours, so that he didn't get stuck in it.
Zhang Wei gave up common sense directly and ran counter to us and ran towards the gate.
Pit Deng, on the other hand, had already run away with Bai Xiu as soon as Bai Xiu made a move.
"Wait for me...this poor place is really harder to walk than the beast road in Anping Village..."
Zhang Wei followed us not far behind, yelling and embarrassment, and we were not walking very smoothly in front. After all, the environment here was really as Zhang Wei said, and it was not an exaggeration at all.
There are either thorns or weeds under your feet. There is no flat place on the ground to put your feet on. There are either pits or bags of earth. From time to time, you can see a deep ditch suddenly appearing in front of your toes.
The higher we walked, the higher the grass got. In the end, we could barely see each other, not to mention the little white hedgehog and the shadow of the fart lantern on all fours.
I could only see the movement of the people walking in front and the swaying grass, and could barely distinguish the direction leading the way.
Lang Hongyi ran from the position behind me to not far from me, and his foot strength was naturally stronger than mine.
Zhang Wei's voice also followed closely behind us, and we continued to run quickly in this dense grassland.
As time goes by, I inevitably wonder where the direction we are heading will lead to in the end.
In addition, they will complain, why can't these immortals think a little for us two-legged people when leading the way...
Such speed and such environment are really too much for us!
Feeling dizzy, we finally left the grassy area that was as tall as one person around us. Suddenly, our eyes opened up. The environment was very unfamiliar. It was a place we had never been to before. We could see houses around us, and we thought it was not far from the village.
Baixiu and Pideng were waiting for us not far ahead in a seemingly large yard.
This house is very attractive. As soon as we came out, our eyes were completely attracted by it unconsciously, and we didn't even have time to ask our current location.
"Oh my God, you finally stopped..."
Zhang Wei was panting and came to us with a head full of grass leaves. He only said a word, then sat on the ground and started breathing heavily.
Apparently the exercise just now was about to drain him of all his energy. He didn't expect this guy's physical condition to be so poor. His hair was wet with sweat and hung on his head.
"Where is this?" Lang Hongyi was the first to answer the question, and naturally it was Bai Xiu who led the way.
I walked a few steps towards the door of the huge mansion. The three steps and the huge gatehouse showed that the people living here had a lot of money in their pockets!
"Stop, it's best not to go in here." Bai Xiu's warning sounded behind me. I had already stretched out my hand to push the door and retracted it, turning around reflexively.
"In the words of you humans, this is a haunted house, a ghost place... The villagers won't even take a step closer, and they won't even touch the steps under your feet!"
Haunted house?
This doesn't scare me, I'm just curious about why Bai Xiu brought us here and talked about this house intentionally or unintentionally.
"Is this where the Bai family gathers?"
Bai showed her little hedgehog form, and tried to raise her head to look at the courtyard wall in front of her, which was like a mountain to her, and said softly, "No, this is the restricted area of our Bai family. We can go anywhere around, except at the edge of the village.
Up here... we, the descendants of the Bai family, are absolutely not allowed to enter even half a minute."
Forbidden land? The Bai family still has such a saying?
Zhang Wei breathed enough and finally came over to join our conversation. He said full of doubts, "This is your forbidden area, and you still bring us here?"
Lang Hongyi has superb analytical skills. He reacted quickly and immediately asked, "Is this the source of everything?"
"Don't you have a lot of questions and you are unwilling to leave without asking for answers? So what if I tell you what I know!"
Although the children of the Bai family regard this place as a forbidden area and will not take a step inside, there are two square cement stone platforms outside the gate on both sides of the gate.
There seems to have been some sculptures on it, but for some unknown reason, they have been destroyed by the roots. All that can be seen now are the bases of these two sculptures.
Bai Xiu jumped up and stood on the side closest to us. He squatted and looked up at us, trying his best to recount what happened here and before.
It’s also what we care about most right now…
This place was indeed a wealthy man's house. Before the Republic of China, the Qing Dynasty came to an end, and secret preparations were being made everywhere in China to overthrow the imperial rule and establish a dictatorship of one family.
Here is the famous and prosperous official family, a large family with officials holding important positions in Beijing in the past dynasties, and the ancestral home of this family.
Big families have always had more people, more money, and more disputes...
This is a fixed pattern that even the emperor has not been able to reverse. At this time, I looked up at the house next to me. Just the blue-gray cold walls made me feel a sense of alienation and coldness!
"Here once, hundreds of people, old and young, from master to servant, were killed overnight, and their deaths were horrific."
Zhang Wei stretched out his hand in disbelief, and after fiddling with it for a long time, he didn't know how to figure out more than a hundred people with one finger. There were really too many people!
But Lang Hongyi and I looked at the courtyard strangely. Even after a long time, in a house where something like this happened, we should clearly be able to see the energy of death and Yin energy, right?
But now we are standing so close, but we can't see anything. Everything is normal. Something is wrong. Lang Hongyi looks at me, and I look at Lang Hongyi. Both of us can see a lot of things without opening our eyes.
I asked the other party if they had found anything, but the answer was always negative.
Bai Xiu jumped down from the stone pier and walked towards the outside of the village, where there were few houses. We followed stupidly until we were surrounded by farmland and plants, far away from the house. It seemed vaguely that we had left the village and left that house.
We stopped after seeing the huge circle formed by the houses.
Bai Xiu stopped in front of us, stretched out his short leg and pointed behind us, "Now look back at the village. You two should be able to see something."
Just when Zhang Wei turned around to look around, Bai Xiu said rudely, "You are so ignorant, so just open your own eyes if you want to see. What can you see with your naked eyes? You are so stupid..."
