Christmas

"Qiupo seems to know something."

After drying his hands, Xia Yao sat beside Shi Xie, a little worried, after all, they didn't listen to Shou Qiu Po's words and walked out last night

"Well, go and pack up, let's go out, by the way, bring my bag by the way."

"okay."

Without saying anything more, Xia Yao got up and went back to the house, took his coat and wallet, and Shi Xie's backpack by the way, I don't know what was in it, it was quite heavy.

"Let's go."

"Oral insult '〇"

Shi Xie stood up from the chair, and walked out of the yard side by side with Xia Yao, just in time to see Qiu Po ​​who was sweeping the yard on the other side of the patio, "You want to go out?"

"Well, yes, let's go out for a walk."

He Qiupo nodded, and Shi Xie led Xia Yao out of the gate.

Seeing the scenery outside, Xia Yao stretched comfortably.

"Shi Xie, where are we going?"

"You'll find out after a while."

Shi Xie made a fool of himself and walked into a nearby alley, Xia Yao had no choice but to follow his fate.

"Okay, here it is."

Shi Xie didn't stop until he came to a small door. Xia Yao looked at the old door suspiciously, feeling a little confused for a while.

mind.

"Here? What to do."

"I have observed the terrain before. This door is a back door, and it is the last yard when I come in. When I came, Qiu Po ​​told me that I couldn't go to the last yard, so I thought, there must be something hidden here." what."

"Really, but Qiu Po ​​is really not confusing you by doing this?"

"Probably not. When I came, I just said that I was here for tourism. She shouldn't doubt me then."

"Okay, but how do we get in?"

Xia Yao picked up the big lock on the door and shook it. The lock seemed to be old and covered with rust. Xia Yao looked at the keyhole and found it was blocked.

"I've already thought of a countermeasure."

As he said that, Shi Xie took down the backpack, took out a pair of large scissors, and under Xia Yao's surprised eyes, he cut the lock open with a sound of "click!"

"Come on, let's go in."

Sneaking in through the back door, Xia Yao looked out curiously. It seemed that no one had lived in this yard for a long time. All kinds of flowers and plants were growing in a mess in the yard, and it must have been a long time since no one took care of it.

Following Shi Xie, walked on a small path through the flowers and grass, the two looked at each other, walked forward along the path, and saw

To an antique house.

Walking forward, I was a little surprised to see the six-story mahogany door with hollowed out lotus flowers, and there were small fish painted with gold powder on it, which seemed to be alive, as if it was about to swim out of the door.

There is still a somewhat faded plaque hanging on the eaves of the door. The three big golden characters "Lotus Pavilion" on it can be vaguely distinguished, but the line of small characters next to it is somewhat unclear.

I touched the door panel, and there was no dust. It seemed that someone would come to clean it frequently.

Shi Xie reached out and tried to push the wooden door. Unexpectedly, the door was not locked, and it was easily pushed open, releasing a scent of incense in the room.

Xia Yao walked into the room first and looked around.

The room was very clean, and there was a copper incense burner on the round table in the middle, with a small burnt incense stuck in it.

Slowly looking around in the room, Xia Yao came to the side of the bed, carefully touched the edge of the big mahogany bed, and couldn't help estimating the value of the big bed, but it was all antiques.

He touched the big mahogany bed very fondly, wishing he could move it home, but when he touched the end of the bed, Xia Yao suddenly felt a pain in his hand, and hurriedly withdrew his hand to check, only to see a line on the back of his hand. red marks.

Confused, he squatted down against the wall, and Xia Yao looked towards the end of the bed, only to see something between the bed legs and the wall, shining and twinkling.
