This is an attic that no one has come up to for a long time. The interior is dark and messy. At first glance, it is full of worn-out furniture.

Of course, these broken furniture couldn't attract Nie Xi's attention, it's just that he knew that this building had some stories, so he came up to see some weird things out of boredom.

Grandpa Nie Xi stayed abroad for a long time before liberation, and married a foreign wife with a strange background. Later, they both returned to China and settled down, and they built this ancestral house in the countryside.

Later, during that special period, Nie Xi’s grandfather and grandmother suddenly disappeared, leaving only his mother to foster with relatives. After the turmoil ended, his mother became a family in the city, but the village notified her to come back to take care of her grandparents. House.

At that time, his mother was also quite surprised, thinking that this abrupt small western-style building had been burned long ago, but it was still preserved, and the appearance was quite complete, but most of the things inside were gone.

His mother is married in the city, so of course she doesn't live here.However, because she was brought up by relatives in the village in the early years, she occasionally came back to live in this quiet villa.It is both a vacation and a visit to relatives.

Nie Xi heard from his mother that he came here when he was six or seven years old, but he doesn't remember much, probably he was too young at that time.

Nie Xi, who grew up helplessly, became an electronic fanatic. He never wanted to come to the village where there was no Internet.It's a pity that this time I heard from the village that this place is going to be demolished, and this house is also within the range. His mother asked him to come over and take a last look at the place where his grandparents lived, but he couldn't refuse.

But when he came, he was quite surprised to see this small western-style building.Although it was built a long time ago, the structural style still looks very elegant and quiet, and the traces of time have added a lot of ancient and deep charm to it.

In particular, the small stained glass window in the attic under the spire is particularly interesting against the backdrop of the trees and vines.

Nie Xi fell in love with this place almost at first sight, and wondered why it was so beautiful, since he had no impression of it when he was a child.

After flipping through things for a while under the sunshine from the colorful windows, Nie Xi sneezed repeatedly from the dust.Finally, I saw a dark bronze statue under a broken bookshelf.

"cool……"

Nie Xi wiped his hands on his jeans and moved the collapsed bronze statue out.

The bronze statue is carved with a lifelike goat head.Looking at the position of the base, it seems that it was mounted on the wall before.

It can be hung in his bedroom.

Nie Xi wiped the dust off the goat's head in satisfaction, and was about to put it aside and continue looking down.

"Nie Xi, come down to eat."

A mother's call came from downstairs.

"Oh. Here we come!"

Nie Xi gave up on looking for it.I had no choice but to stand up, lift up the goat bronze statue, and prepare to take it down to show his mother.

Unexpectedly, he just ran two steps, and he seemed to trip over something under his feet, and he threw himself forward.

"!!!"

With a loud bang, Nie Xi fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

"Nie Xi! What are you doing!"

He also heard movement downstairs and asked loudly.

Nie Xi was afraid that his mother would scold him for being reckless again, so he hurriedly replied that he was fine.

"It's okay, come down quickly."

Nie Xi hummed, then got up.While looking forward to search, to see where the bronze statue fell, it turned out that he felt really guilty after seeing it.

The pair of sharp goat horns on the bronze statue had smashed through the old attic floor, and half of its body fell off.

……

Fortunately, this building is going to be demolished, otherwise his mother will kill him.

Nie Xi broke into a cold sweat, and walked over to pick up the bronze statue.But found the situation a bit strange.

The bronze statue, which was mostly sunken, seemed to move...

The light from the stained glass window is not strong, and with the dust that was stirred up by Nie Xi just now, the view from the attic is not very good, and it is possible to see it wrong.

Rubbing his eyes, Nie Xi looked at the bronze statue again, and it seemed that he hadn't moved again.

But the part of the copper sheep's head protruding from the floor happened to be an eye, dark and reflective, staring at Nie Xi with some kind of meaning.

The dim indoor atmosphere seemed to suddenly become weird.Especially those old furniture covered with cloth, it seems that many terrible things can be hidden behind it...

Nie Xi suddenly felt a little hairy.

"squeak!"

A sharp cry frightened Nie Xi into a shiver. He looked at the place where the sound came from, and saw a big mouse rushing out from the hole made by the bronze statue, with a little blood on its back, coming from under Nie Xi's feet. Fei also rushed downstairs.

"Tch, it turned out to be a mouse." Nie Xi heaved a sigh of relief for some reason, walked to the side of the bronze statue in a few steps, and pulled it up.

At the same time, a large pit was exposed under the floor.

Seeing the pitch-black under the floor, Nie Xi took a second look in surprise.

The mezzanine space under the floor appears to be large.

Nie Xi became a little excited when he thought of watching all kinds of movies about adventures in ancient houses.

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned on the flashlight, and took a picture under the floor, but he didn't expect the snapshot to reach the border soon.

There is only two feet square space under the floor.Except for the dust, it was the feces left by the rats and the detritus of who knows what.

However, in the pile of debris in the middle, there seemed to be a dim red thing reflecting the light of the flashlight.

Nie Xi became interested, found a broken armrest of a chair from the side, stretched it down and flipped it, revealing a string of necklaces.

Nie Xi didn't feel dirty now, so he immediately picked up the necklace, and went downstairs with the bronze statue in his other hand.

Hearing the sound of going down the stairs, Nie Xi's mother, Zhang Ningshu, who was taking the soup, muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Why did it take so long?"

"Dad, Mom, do you see what I found?"

Hearing Nie Xi's words, Nie Guozhang, who was watching TV, also turned his head.

"Where did you find this thing? It's frightening to death. Throw it away quickly." Zhang Ningshu pointed at the bronze statue in disgust.

"But I think it's pretty cool, can't I hang it in my bedroom?" Nie Xi asked.

"Listen to your mother, we have a lot of things to bring home this time. Your things look heavy and take up space. Our car can't fit them. Sell them to scrap collectors." Nie Guozhang pushed his glasses and said .

……

In fact, Nie Xi also felt that the sheep's head was scary for a moment in the attic just now, so he didn't insist and put it in the corner.

Then he took the necklace and went to the sink to wash it well, and then walked to the parents who were already seated at the dinner table.

"Look at this, you can't imagine where I found it!"

After the dusty necklace was cleaned, it revealed a silvery brilliance, while a dark red pendant the size of a pigeon egg underneath had a dull and smooth surface.

"It seems to be blood amber." Nie Guozhang was a little surprised when he saw the thing in his son's hand.

Zhang Ningshu seemed to want to take the necklace and take a closer look, but for some reason, he didn't reach out and just took a closer look.

"Probably belonged to your grandma. I didn't expect you to find one."

"I just fell, and the bronze statue made a mouse hole on the ground. This one was picked up from the mouse hole under the floor." Nie Xi said proudly.

"Hey, you're lucky." Nie Guozhang boasted perfunctorily.

Seeing that his father didn't react much, Nie Xi asked his mother a little out of presence.

"Mom, do you want it? This necklace seems to be made of silver."

Nie Xi has no interest in jewelry, but in the process of treasure hunting.

"I don't like it. The color is too dark. Blood amber is not a particularly valuable gem either. But it's still an antique, and it's your grandma's relic. Do you want to keep it yourself or let me keep it for you?" Zhang Ningshu explain.

Seeing that neither of them reacted, Nie Xi didn't feel any sense of accomplishment at all, so he planned to save it for his classmates to brag about his vacation adventure and make the process more twists and turns.

"I'll keep it myself." Nie Xi put the necklace in his pocket.

"Don't lose it carelessly, this is your grandma's only relic." Zhang Ningshu subconsciously felt that it was a bit inappropriate to do so, but he didn't know why he just proposed to let Nie Xi keep it by himself.

But since she can remember her parents are not around, and she doesn't have a deep affection for them, and she doesn't have to have a necklace.

And even though she and her mother were only one generation apart, she didn't inherit any of her mother's traits, she was just whiter, so there wasn't much trouble during that period.

But her son has a pair of distinctive golden eyes, and his facial features are more three-dimensional, which is [-] to [-]% similar to the beautiful woman in the only black and white photo left.Perhaps genetically, they are closer.It's also good to let him keep grandma's relics.

In the following days, Nie Xi followed his parents to visit relatives, packed up the things that should be packed, and found no other special things.After the whole family took a group photo with this beautiful house, they returned to City S.

The time I came back happened to be the day when Nie Xi was thinking about selling the sixth batch of sensor helmets. As an electronic enthusiast who has just grown up, he has always been elusive about this expensive electronic device. Fortunately, this time his family took it. A large amount of demolition fees, he also got into the university that his parents were satisfied with, and finally bought it for him.

Seeing that the goods could be delivered the next day, Nie Xi, who had just arrived home, went to bed early with the excitement of tomorrow's dream come true.
