Chapter 841
At one o'clock in the morning, Tao Bao's smart watch rang, and Fan Xiaomi called. Zixia, no, it was Qingxia who was maimed by Monkey King, and asked her what to do.

At that moment, Tao Bao really wanted to hit someone, but she held back and asked in a steady voice:
“Is there something wrong with the apartment building?”

About three or four seconds passed before Fan Xiaomi on the other end of the phone replied: "It's okay, Sister Tao Bao. It's just that the floor in the lobby on the first floor is warped. After all, the golden hoop is not an ordinary thing. Ahem, but don't worry. I'll take care of it."

Tao Bao frowned slightly, and said in a tone that could not tell whether he was happy or angry: "If no residents are coming tomorrow, I won't come. If you have anything to do, just deal with it first. If it's really urgent, just call me. And, in the future, Don’t let Zixia go out at night.”

"Ah? Sister Tao Bao, aren't you coming tomorrow?" Fan Xiaomi asked weakly. When Tao Bao didn't speak, she took the initiative to shut up and stopped asking.

Tao Bao explained some more things to her, then hung up the phone and lay down to rest again.

The next day, when Wu Yulan got up in the morning, she went to the store first, while Tao Bao drove out to the market to buy paper money and flowers. At noon, the mother and daughter went to the suburban cemetery to sweep Tao Bao's father's grave. Just drove to the country.

Grandma Tao Bao lived in a small town, but the two old people were buried in the mountains of Wujia Village, their hometown in the countryside, so the journey was far away.

The mother and daughter drove for six hours and arrived in the village at eight o'clock in the evening.

Wujia Village is not big, and young people have gone out to work in recent years, and only some old people still live in the village.

There are only a small section of road at the entrance of the village paved with cement in the village, and there is a dirt road more than one meter wide in the village. Tao Bao's sports car can no longer drive in, and can only drive in the village. Stop on the concrete clearing at the entrance.

People in the village had already had dinner at this time, and with only some elderly people at home, everyone had no entertainment, so they rested after eating.

When Tao Bao and his mother got out of the car, it was dark from a distance, except for a dim electric light in the open space at the entrance of the village. If outsiders saw this scene, they might be shocked.

Not to mention the dark, not yet popular, the moon does not appear tonight, it looks gloomy for no reason.

Wu Yulan looked at the mountains in the distance, and then at a house next to the open space. Seeing that it was pitch black inside, she paused to say hello.

"Tao Tao, everyone in the village has fallen asleep, so let's call again tomorrow, and first go to your grandma's house to make do for the night." Wu Yulan looked at her daughter who was covering the car beside the car, and beckoned her to hurry up.

Tao Bao nodded, quickly fixed the car cover, took out the flashlight and turned it on, stepped forward and took his mother's hand, and the mother and daughter entered the village arm in arm with the flashlight on.

Grandma's house is in the deepest part of the village, go straight along the main road, and you will arrive at the last house.

The old house is not considered deserted. Tao Bao and his mother will come every year during the Qingming Festival. Although it is deserted, the objects and circuits in the house are still in good condition.

The road was not far, and after walking for about 5 minutes, the mother and daughter arrived at the door of the old house.

This house was lived by a landlord in the old society. After the liberation, Tao Bao’s grandfather made meritorious service, so he allocated this house to him when he organized the house distribution.

It's a pity that in the 70s, Tao Bao's grandfather caused a disturbance to the Red Guards and was almost punished. Part of the house was demolished. Today, only one of the original three-entry mansions remains.

Fortunately, the turmoil passed quickly, and Grandpa Tao Bao still saved the house. Although only one-third was left, the remaining foundation was still his, which was considered a large property.

It's just that looking at this retro-style gate now, coupled with the fact that it has not been popular for a long time, it looks a bit scary.

Wu Yulan was really a little panicked, she was lucky to have her daughter by her side, otherwise she would be afraid to enter the house by herself.

Tao Bao saw that his mother was a little scared, so he handed her the flashlight, and said with a smile: "Mom, you wait here for me, I will go in and turn on the switch, and the light will be on."

"Okay." Wu Yulan was not polite to her daughter at all, felt in her bag, and handed her the key, "This is the key to the gate, and the keys in the house are all placed on the wall next to the door of the utility room in the lower left corner of the yard. You know that too."

Tao Bao nodded, put down the paper money and flowers in his hand, took the key and stepped forward to unlock the courtyard door.

I stretched out my hand to push open the courtyard door, and there was a rough "squeak" sound from the old courtyard door. Fortunately, the nearest neighbor was more than 100 meters away, otherwise I was afraid I would wake people up.

No one lived there for a year, Tao Bao felt heavy dust when he opened the door. Thinking that there was no outsider here, he moved his fingertips slightly, and a blue flame shot out, instantly lighting up the whole yard.

Tao Bao clapped his hands, looked left and right, walked forward, suddenly felt a cool breeze behind the door, looked back, and saw a translucent pale face facing her.

The red eyes opened wide, as if he had been taken aback, they suddenly widened, and their appearance became even more terrifying.

The four looked at each other, and after a second, the owner of the red eyes realized that the woman in front of him could see him. He was startled, and backed away, so frightened that he disappeared behind the door without a trace.

Tao Bao stood still, the indifference on his face remained unchanged.She would not admit that for a moment she was so shocked that she wanted to raise her hand to kill that ghost.

If she hadn't been thinking about her mother, afraid that she would feel that she would not sleep well tonight, the blue flame floating in front of her would have burned the ghost.

Tao Bao glanced at the two doors at the main entrance and continued walking to the utility room as if nothing was wrong. He opened the door calmly, took off the key on the wall, and walked out.

She glanced at the door again, and her mother was still looking at things with a flashlight, and when she felt her looking over, she smiled at her.

Tao Bao smiled back, found the key to the main room and opened the door, entered the main room, stared at the electric meter, and flew over to open the switch.

With a soft "click", all the lights in the room turned on, and the orange light made the room warm. Wu Yulan saw it from outside, turned off the flashlight and walked in with a smile.

When passing the gate, the gate on the left shook back and forth, as if considering whether to close it.

But in the end, it still opened there quietly, without moving.

Wu Yulan didn't notice this little gesture, she walked in happily, looked around the yard where she used to play, and sighed with a smile:
"Tao Tao, it's different when the light is turned on. Alas, I only come here once a year. The good houses are deserted. It seems that there is no popularity at all. I thought, why don't you demolish and rebuild, and your mother and I will come here later. Just come here for the elderly, what do you think?"

"I don't think so. In the final analysis, this house belongs to my uncle's house. I don't know what will happen to my two cousins ​​in the future. They didn't say no to the house."

Tao Bao shook his head, took the kettle in the house and went out to fetch water in the yard. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the gate on the left half trembling, as if worried that the house would be demolished.
