There are dense pine forests on both sides of the paved mountain road. Even in the cold early spring in the north, there is a lush scene. Two people, an old man and a young man, were walking down the mountain of Shumai and Bagui. The old man was naturally Uncle Wang, and the young man was naturally Xia Shao.
Uncle Wang walked in front and secretly glanced back at the girl following behind.
He finally persuaded Xia Guoxi and agreed to take Xia Shao up the mountain to meet Mr. Tang, but this child was too strange! Not even a word was asked along the way.
Generally speaking, children are very curious, especially when they are taken to meet strangers. Why should they keep asking questions along the way? Old Uncle Wang is the head of the village, and he can be regarded as someone who has watched Xia Shao grow up. This child has been timid since he was a child and is not very talkative. Logically speaking, he should be very resistant to being led to meet strangers. No matter what, you have to show an uneasy look or cry twice.
But look at this moment, she is walking on the mountain road with a leisurely look, looking at the pine forests on both sides of the mountain road from time to time, her expression is comfortable, and there is a slight smile on her lips. The afternoon sunshine in the mountains fell on her body in small pieces, giving her an elegant demeanor.
That demeanor made Old Uncle Wang think he was dazzled for a moment. He was no longer a child, he was clearly an adult! Moreover, even as an adult, Uncle Wang has never seen many like this in his eyes.
Old Uncle Wang shook his head, why did Xia Shao's temperament change after a new year...
He shook his head and led Xia Shao up the mountain, but he didn't know that the reason why Xia Shao was so calm was because she had already predicted what was going to happen next with her eyes.
Moreover, after experiencing rebirth and the power of the Sky Eye, in Xia Shao's opinion, this matter was really not enough to make her panic. Sure enough, after people experience some major changes, their character and perception will grow. The indifference she feels now is probably not comparable to that of her previous life.
The two of them walked on the mountain road for about half an hour when they saw a house. The house is hidden in the forest on the mountainside. Xia Shao, who studied architecture in his previous life, can tell at a glance that this is a traditional courtyard house, and judging from the depth of the courtyard wall, there are at least three entrances.
At this time, the door was ajar. Old Uncle Wang respectfully called twice at the door, but there was no sound from inside and no one came out.
Old Uncle Wang wondered: "What's going on? Why is the door not locked tightly and no one answers the door? Something must have happened, right?"
Mr. Tang is old, has disabled legs, and is the only one living in this house. It is not impossible that he suddenly becomes ill. But if something happens to him, Uncle Wang can't afford it. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, so he pushed the door open and rushed in.
After running for two steps, he remembered something, turned around and said to Xia Shao who was following him: "You stay here, don't run around."
Xia Shao nodded, and Uncle Wang ran inside to check.
Seeing his figure disappear, Xia Shao slowly laughed. She can guarantee that Mr. Tang is fine, because in the picture predicted by the Sky Eye, there is a scene of an old man in a wheelchair talking to Old Uncle Wang, which shows that Mr. Tang is not fine at all!
Xia Shao couldn't figure out why the old man was acting mysteriously at this time if he wanted to go up the mountain to see him. She simply refused to guess. Anyway, we will figure it out soon, so why bother
She is quite interested in this house! Because since she first stepped forward, she had keenly felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
In this era, there is very little industrial pollution, especially in rural areas, where the air is extremely fresh. But Xia Shao felt like the air in this house was much fresher than on the mountain outside!
Xia Shao couldn't help but use the power of his heavenly eye. He was a little surprised when he saw it. Sure enough, he saw that the house was extremely angry, as if the energy of heaven and earth were gathered here! She couldn't help but take a step forward and entered the first courtyard of the house. But when she walked in, Xia Shao was fascinated by the scenery inside.
I saw that the stone paths in the courtyard are quiet and the flowers and plants are prosperous. Although it is early spring, the bonsais are mainly green. There are pomegranate trees, oleanders, golden osmanthus, geraniums, and gardenias. Bright! In addition, there are lotus tanks, goldfish ponds, interesting courtyards, and ancient and elegant pavilions.
After a brief glance, Xia Shao concluded that Mr. Tang, who lived here, if he presided over the arrangement of everything in this courtyard, then he must be a Feng Shui scholar!
After all, Xia Shao also took an elective course on Feng Shui theory in college. Even without using her clairvoyance, she could see that every decoration in this courtyard was placed in a very particular manner. However, after looking at it with her clairvoyance, Xia Shao discovered that every furnishing in the courtyard played a role in attracting and gathering the vitality in the courtyard. This also made her even more convinced that the theory of Feng Shui was indeed true!
After seeing the feng shui in the courtyard, Xia Shao really became interested in Mr. Tang, who was going to meet her today! In her previous life, she had no interaction with Mr. Tang, and she didn't even know his surname was Tang. Because he wanted to recuperate in the village, he built a house in the back mountain. Although he gave generous compensation to the villagers, Xia Guoxi always nagged him at home and scolded him every time he drank. He looked down upon those powerful people the most, and in Xia Guoxi's eyes, poor old Mr. Tang was a typical example of someone who could do as they pleased when they were rich and powerful. Xia Guoxi even sternly warned Xia Shao that she should stay away from this house when she usually goes to the mountains to play! Xia Shao was very afraid of her grandfather at that time, so she naturally did not dare to disobey him. Later, she paid little attention to things in the back mountain, and she didn't even know when the people inside moved out.
Today, when Old Uncle Wang proposed that Mr. Tang wanted to see Xia Shao, Xia Guoxi was suspicious and naturally refused sternly. Fortunately, Professor Zhou was present and gave him some good words to persuade him, "Brother Xia, I heard that Mr. Tang is also in his sixties. In terms of age, he is older than you. He has inconvenient legs and feet, and He is an elder, so if he refuses, it cannot be justified in terms of etiquette, right?"
Professor Zhou is worthy of being a professor at Beijing University, and he is very good at persuading people. Xia Guo likes to save face and attaches great importance to the etiquette of his elders, so he reluctantly relaxed.
In fact, even if Xia Guoxi disagreed today, Xia Shao would still find a way and follow Uncle Wang up the mountain.
Perhaps because of the opening of his heavenly eye, Xia Shao felt that her intuition was much sharper than before even though she couldn't predict what happened to her!
She had an intuition that going up the mountain today was very important to her! She wasn't sure how important it was, but her intuition told her that she had to come!
Xia Shao took a few deep breaths of the fresh air in the courtyard. Seeing that Uncle Wang had not come out yet, she planned to wander around the courtyard again.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a noise from the yard in front.
"Clang!"
Then, there was the sound of the old man wailing.
"Hey, yo, yo... I'm such an old bone..."
Xia Shao was startled when she heard that the sound came from the main courtyard, which was the second entrance from the front, so she ran over without saying anything.
