Chapter 54 Tao Family Ancestral Hall
With such delay, breakfast was almost cold. I didn't want to mention to my parents about the incident that haunted me last night with a smelly man. As a result, my mother, who had always hated sleeping in, had scolded me until I had finished my breakfast. 0
The Tao Family ancestral hall was halfway up the hill two blocks away from my home. It wasn't that far, but there were only three or four streets in the entire town, so it was equivalent to crossing more than half of the town.
When my parents and I went out, we met a Yu Ting with a bag on his back. He immediately greeted them with a smile," Good morning, Auntie and Uncle Xiaotao!"
My mother still liked polite guys. She immediately greeted Yu Ting with a smile. However, her father only nodded in response to Yu Ting gentle attitude yesterday.
"Brother Ting, where are you going so early? "By the way, there's no place in town to install the Internet. I' ll apply today!"
When I saw Yu Ting today, I suddenly remembered that he had mentioned to me about the haunted house of my family. When I thought about the green eyes in the cabinet, the man who sighed in the middle of the night, and the strange dreams I had had had, I always felt that these had something to do with the purpose of my return this time.
"Yes, yes, yes, but the installation requires an appointment. It will take a long time." Yu Ting looked at me in embarrassment." How about this? Just come to my house and use Wi-Fi. Anyway, we are neighbors and not outsiders."
Actually, what I was waiting for was his words. I couldn't help but laugh happily," Then it's a deal. I'll go find you tonight!"
"Xiao Tao, what are you talking about? It's getting late. Hurry up and leave!" Mom felt a little disgusted when she saw me talking to another man.
She seemed to care more about the hellish man's opinion than me. As expected, there was an old saying that was right. The more she looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked it. But you said that my mother had never seen hell before, so why did she have such a good impression of him? It looked like my mother was just a pure face control. She was completely intimidated by the beauty of a smelly man. It really disappointed me.
However, every time he saw a smelly man's face that could be described as a disaster, there would be very few people, especially women, who would n' t be interested!
Unlike what I had imagined, the Tao Family ancestral hall was quite large. The white wall of the green house was actually quite imposing. Most of the houses in the town were made of red bricks or black stones, so it didn't seem to match the surrounding buildings.
Mom and Dad were very thoughtful. They even brought two bags of tea leaves to the old man in the ancestral hall as a gift. The black doors of the ancestral hall were tightly locked. Only the door of the small house beside them was opened. The tall and dense trees at the door almost covered the entire courtyard.
A tall and tall old man was sweeping the floor in front of the door. His hair was as white as snow, but his body was very healthy and sturdy. His movements were flexible, and he did not look like an old man at all.
"Master Hai, I'm Tao Ming Hui. I' m back. I'm here to see you!" Father respectfully walked over to the old man and said loudly.
The old man named Master Hai was probably old. After a while, the old man looked up." You're Ming Hui. I remember you. Thirty years ago, you and your grandfather came back."
The old man's raise of his head shocked me. This face must have been severely scalded. Large areas of bright red scars had almost twisted his entire face. If I met him in the middle of the night, I would have been scared to the point of screaming.
"Hello, Godfather Hai. I'm Tao Xiaotao. This is my mother. How do you do?" I forced a smile on my face and greeted the old man. My mother's condition was n' t much better than mine. Her face turned pale and she looked a little scared.
However, Grandpa Hai was very friendly. After Dad told him the purpose of our visit, Grandpa Hai looked at his mother and said," Tao Family the ancestral hall rules, you only need to enter Tao Family. Anyone with a foreign surname is not allowed to enter. bring your girl in alone."
Mother was very unhappy when she heard this, but it seemed that her father had already told her earlier. Although her mother was unhappy, she didn't say anything. So, Grandpa Hai brought me and her father to the entrance of the ancestral hall. My mother stood far away, looking unhappy.
The main door of the ancestral hall was opened because the light could not penetrate it. It was dark and deep inside. It was unknown how many floors there were. Master Hai led the way and walked in. We also followed.
Then, the door silently closed. I couldn't get used to the sudden darkness from the light. It was a while before I could see clearly that Grandpa Hai took an oil lamp from behind the door.
The scars on the old man's face became even more terrifying under the illumination of the lights. I could only try not to look at his face. I hid behind my father and quietly followed them.
There seemed to be a long passage inside the ancestral hall. Walking in was a large room. There was still a strong scent of incense and candles in the air. There were many memorial tablets and memorial tablets. They were all Tao Family ancestors, and they did not seem to be much different from ordinary ancestral halls.
"Ming Hui, both you and your girl should kowtow to their ancestors." Master Hai took a few branch incense sticks from the table and handed them to my father and me.
There were a few futons on the ground. They were all covered in dust. It seemed that no one had come to kneel in worship for a long time. I originally wanted to take the mat and dust it off, but my father gave me a look and told me not to touch the mat on the ground. Although I didn't understand what was going on, I still did n' t move as my father had said.
It didn't matter the moment I knelt down, my eyes immediately turned into a cloud of dust. dust. They all entered my nostrils, causing me to cough repeatedly. Because the cough was too strong, tears were flowing out. It was really a terrible situation.
I stole a glance at my father and miraculously discovered that he didn't even touch a speck of dirt. However, I did n' t need to think that he was already covered in dirt. How could my father be safe and sound?
Before I could ask what was going on, I heard Master Hai say," Tao Family descendant, this one Tao Ming Hui and the woman Tao Xiaotao this one, respectfully kowtow to our ancestors——" His voice was very long, echoing in the sealed space, mysterious and terrifying.
I held my breath and focused my attention. Although I didn't know what Tao Family's ancestor had to do with what I wanted to know and what Phoenix Feather had to do with it, I still obediently kowtowed as Master Hai instructed.
Suddenly, the sound of hail was heard for a while. I raised my head in surprise. The layers of Tao Family ancestral tablets on the other side seemed to have encountered a landslide, and they were like falling dominoes. All of them fell down?
Godfather Hai was shocked by this scene, but his expression suddenly became very scary." Who are you? What are you doing in Tao Family forbidden area?"
"I' m not——" I was just about to open my mouth to explain. Suddenly, the entire house shook violently, and the ground collapsed. My father and Grandpa Hai fell down together! !!
