did not meet tonight

The rain drenched all night and finally stopped in the morning. Xiao Yu and the others paid the room fee and prepared to leave. They were the only car left in the yard. Ye Jian glanced around: "Where is your friend? have they gone?"

"He has always been impersonal." Xiao Yu has long been used to it.

"The relationship between you two is quite special. When you meet, you hate each other, but you can still sit at the same table and drink." Ye Jian shook his head, feeling incredible.

"You pay attention to him." Xiao Yu glanced at him with the corner of his mouth hooked.

"I'm curious, his two swishes last night were like juggling, it's amazing! By the way, what the hell is he doing, a magician? How did the fire float in the air? I saw the mechanism!" Ye Jian didn't notice Xiao Yu's expression, he rubbed his chin in thought, with an expression that was still unfinished.

"Want to know him?" Xiao Yuwei narrowed his eyes and asked.

Before he could utter the last word of "Think", Ye Jian changed his words knowingly after seeing Xiao Yu's expression: "That's weird, I'm just curious, it feels incredible."

This happened so quickly, Ye Jian was very sensible and didn't mention it again, and the car continued on the road.Due to the torrential rain overnight, the ground became muddy and difficult to drive. Ye Jian didn't dare to drive too fast. He stopped and stopped along the way, and finally came to this place called Shenxian Bay.It is named after a shoal formed at the low point of the mountain stream. Standing on the road, you can see the turquoise pool water reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.

This is a very famous scenic spot in Yicheng. Every holiday, it will be crowded with tourists who come to have a picnic. Probably because of the bad weather these days, there is no tent in the camp, and a small supermarket nearby is also deserted.Ye Jian stood on the side of the road and took a closer look. There were a few dilapidated old houses in the valley, which didn't look like they were inhabited. He asked strangely, "Where is the Chen family? There is no decent house nearby." House!"

Xiao Yu pointed to the mountain not far away, Ye Jian looked up, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "You said they live on the mountain?"

"The Chen family is a famous family. A hundred years ago, they built a tall building in the mountains to avoid the chaos of war. The house was all made of square stones. After so many years, it has become a manor. It can be said that the whole building The mountains are all in their names." Xiao Yu explained.

Ye Jian opened his mouth, and after a while he managed to utter a word: "Isn't that the same as a private castle? How rich are they?"

"You can think too much." Xiao Yu said as he walked towards the small supermarket.

"It seems that a poor man like me can only look up to me." Ye Jian sighed enviously.Xiao Yu was inquiring about the entrance from the owner of the supermarket, and bought some food by the way. They hadn't eaten anything since they left the hotel. This journey was in the wilderness, and they never saw other shops. Although there were only bread and mineral water, Ye Jian still Eating is bazibazixiang.

"Where do we go up, can the car go into the mountain?" He asked vaguely.

"Do you think they will climb up the mountain from the narrow path?" Xiao Yu said amusedly.Ye Jian felt that he was also mentally handicapped, since he could occupy the mountain and become king, couldn't he open a way?They drove the car forward for a few minutes, and a concrete road up the mountain appeared in front of them. It was just wide enough for two cars to pass through. It is forbidden to cut down trees in the scenic area, so the vegetation grows particularly lush, and the light looks a bit dark.

This road can be said to have nine turns and eighteen turns, winding up the mountain. Although there are warning signs in dangerous areas, Ye Jian still drives thrillingly.After turning a corner, he inadvertently saw a small cave dug into the nearby rock wall. Inside stood a stone statue, which seemed to have incense offerings. He passed by in a hurry, but he didn't see it clearly. Looking back in the mirror.

"This is on a mountain road, concentrate on driving." Xiao Yu knocked him on the head.

"What was that just now?" Ye Jian pointed to the back and asked.

"The statue of the mountain god." Xiao Yu replied lightly.

"Why is it placed in such a strange place?" Ye Jian muttered, looking away, he saw another small cave and stone statue in front of him. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after driving a few hundred meters, The same statue appeared again.He couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What's going on, why are there so many mountain god statues here?"

"When this mountain was in war, many people were buried alive here. Legend has it that their ghosts have been wandering in the woods. For the safety of future generations, the Chen family enshrined eighteen statues of mountain gods on the way to the mountain villa." Xiao Yu Although I don't believe in these strange powers, there are reasons for their existence, and unbelief does not mean disrespect.

"Buried alive..." Ye Jian was different from him, his voice trembled when he heard those two words, "How much resentment must be accumulated for this kind of death, they are so rich, why don't they move?" Live somewhere else?"

"Maybe they don't believe these rumors either," Xiao Yu said.

"I don't believe how there are so many statues of mountain gods, and each of them is still offering incense. They must have someone to look after them every day." Ye Jian said, "I think they believe it more than anyone else, but they are reluctant to leave that place. Fortunately, Yuan Yuan doesn’t need to live there in the future.”

"According to the rules of the Chen family, children and grandchildren can develop outside according to their own wishes before they get married, but they must live in the manor after marriage, especially the mistress. Yuan Yuan is the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family. If Chen Zhe inherits the family, she will I can only stay there." Xiao Yu poured cold water on him.

"Their family is going to pass on the throne. What's so good about this place? It's so damp and so dark. If you live in it for two years, you'll definitely get rheumatism." Although I haven't seen what the Chen family is like, Ye Jian had already denied it first, "If Yuan Yuan lives in such a remote place, how can she work and go back to see her family? Isn't this a disguised form of house arrest?"

"Do you know how many women want to marry into the Chen family?" Xiao Yu glanced at him.

"What's wrong with being rich? If you have money, you can be so domineering! I think Chen Zhe is quite reliable. He usually protects Yuan Yuan, so he shouldn't let his wife lose her personal freedom, right?" Ye Jian knew this by himself. I can't control it, I said with the last glimmer of hope.

"Maybe." Xiao Yu couldn't give him a definite answer. He hadn't seen Chen Zhe for nearly ten years, and they only shook hands with each other, so they didn't know much about each other.

"There is something strange. According to you, the Chen family should be considered a wealthy family. Chen Zhe must have all kinds of rich and beautiful people around him. How could he choose Yuanyuan?" Of course, Yuanyuan was in Ye Jian's heart She can be picky, but the gap between her and Chen Zhe cannot be denied.Ye Jian knew before that Chen Zhe's family was rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich. His family didn't agree with him to marry Yuan Yuan at first, why did they agree later?And according to Chen Zhe's status and background, the requirements should be very high. How did a Xiaojiabiyu like Yuan Yuan get into his eyes?

"There is no answer to the matter of feelings." Xiao Yu leaned back on the chair, the weather was not so good, the dense woods seemed even more dim, and he found a large dark cloud drifting here from the horizon.

"You want to say that they are true love? That's right. It's not surprising that anything happens in this world, and my Yuanyuan family is not bad." Ye Jian raised his head with a proud look on his face.

A wide gate gradually appeared in front of it. The wall made of stones was three meters high, with anti-theft hanging on it, giving people a feeling of airtightness.Ye Jian felt that the fence was too much like a prison, and he couldn't see anything when he looked up, except for the circle of security guards with iron spikes, which was oppressive everywhere.He stopped the car and looked at Xiao Yu questioningly.Xiao Yu got out of the car and pressed the doorbell on the pillar. The electronic display on the door lit up, and a woman's voice came out: "Hello, who is this?"

Xiao Yu took out the invitation card and shook it in front of the display screen, and the woman immediately said, "Please wait a moment."

Xiao Yu returned to the car, and the door opened automatically after a while. If it wasn't for the roof of the house that could be seen from a distance, Ye Jian would really think that he was in the wild again.The yard is frighteningly large, retaining the same casual style as the mountains and forests, but every green tree is neatly trimmed, and there is a road on the left and right, and a man in black stands at the intersection on the right, beckoning them to go open here.

Ye Jian drove up carefully, and when he reached the next corner, there was another man in black standing there leading the way. After driving for about 300 meters, he finally arrived at the parking lot, where many luxury cars of various kinds were already parked. There is a small partition between each car, and it is also equipped with a special sunshade.Ye Jian parked the car, and as soon as they got off, a middle-aged woman in gray overalls came over and said respectfully, "Mr. Xiao, please come with me."

She led the way, through a cobbled path, and ahead appeared another gate, even more imposing than the previous one.The middle-aged woman pressed the combination lock, and the door opened in response, revealing a gorgeously decorated garden and that exaggeratedly large house.Ye Jian was dumbfounded, did he think that was not the yard just now, but the parking lot of their house?

The house is seven stories high, all of which are dome-shaped. I don't have any idea about the area. I just think it can almost cover half a football field, standing there like a castle.The exterior walls of the houses are uniformly covered with rock-shaped stone bricks, surrounded by green trees, full of historical heaviness.The door of the house was open, and there were two men standing on the left and right. They were all dressed in black. A woman in her 40s came out. She was wearing a smart suit, her hair was combed back carefully, and she wore a black frame on her face. Glasses, looks like a high school history teacher, serious and rigid.

"Mr. Xiao, hello, I am the life steward of Chen's house, my name is Yan Meilan, welcome to Chen's house, please come in with me." She curled her mouth, and although she spoke politely, her expression showed a bit of stiffness .

It was only past three o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky was as dark as dusk. Ye Jian raised his head and saw a huge dark cloud over the manor. A bolt of lightning rang out fiercely, and thunder rumbled like an explosion in his ears.Ye Jian was taken aback and quickly followed Xiao Yu.

They stepped into this manor that had been silent for a hundred years in the mountains. The wind blew through the courtyard, countless branches and leaves shook, and the storm seemed to be coming again.
