Because walking with Bai Ze seemed to be interesting to do, Lin Shao walked around and finally understood why there were so many people here.

A commercial plaza opened near here, and bridges and roads were built some time ago, connecting this park with the amusement park across the river, and the traffic has improved, so there are so many talents here, but this is a good thing for Linshao. When he had had enough of playing in the park, he took Bai Ze to the amusement park.

But before Lin Shao started playing, he finally grabbed a doll at the entrance, and the phone rang.

He opened it and saw that it was Chen Yuankai.

"A Shao, I'm back, I just got off the plane," Chen Yuan said with a tired voice, "Come to my dad's shop to have a gathering tonight, everyone will come."

"Oh?" Lin Shao wondered, "Isn't it the winter solstice dinner? Why is it earlier?"

"Well, let's talk when we get there," Chen Yuan said, "I'll take a taxi and we'll talk when you get there."

Lin Shao wanted to say something more, but hung up the phone over there.

How strange, Lin Shao frowned.

Chen Yuankai is not such a personality either. Every time he comes back from a business trip, he would take the initiative to chat with Lin Shao excitedly for a long time, complaining about the bad hotels outside, and then ask him to come out for dinner. But the tone still sounded normal, but this time it felt a little gloomy.

Chen Yuan opened his father to run a restaurant. It is a time-honored restaurant. Their hometown is on the side of Wicker Alley, which is yet to be demolished, but the head office is on the other side of Huaili City. It takes more than two hours by car. Lin Shao checks the time. There is no time, he is going now.

Bai Ze saw that his expression was not good, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know either." Lin Shao was a little worried, and told Bai Ze about the phone call just now, "Is something wrong?"

"Don't think about it," Bai Ze comforted, "It won't happen."

Lin Shao looked at him, and unconsciously grabbed the corner of Bai Ze's clothes: "Bai Ze, you can go with me, anyway, you will see them sooner or later."

This is his life circle. His relatives and friends will not change after the system is in place. He plans to move back when the resettlement house is built. With such a good neighborhood, he is already used to this kind of life .

"Well," Bai Ze thought for a while, and finally nodded, "I'll go with you."

The store opened by Chen Yuan is not fancy, because it has been open for a long time, and many places are old. Lin Shao has been here a few times before, and the business is very good, after all, it is a time-honored brand.The door was closed to thank guests today because of the party. When Lin Shao came, it was already late, and the hall was almost full. After he brought Bai Ze in, everyone turned their heads to look at him.

There was an eerie silence in the hall for a while, and then someone who spoke a word first broke the silence.

"Xiaolin... When did your legs get better?"

After this sentence, the hall suddenly became more chattery, and the person sitting near the gate hurriedly walked towards him. This person was Uncle Chen, who was close to him, and Chen Yuankai's father.

"Oh my god," Chen Yuankai's father looks like he was carved out of the same mold. He is exactly the middle-aged version of Chen Yuankai. When he saw Lin Shao walking in, he subconsciously helped him up. Ze, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and there was no place to put it, and only then did he realize that Lin Shao's leg was already healed, and he didn't need to step forward to help it.

"When did your legs get better?" He asked, and couldn't help showing some very happy smiles on his face, "Why didn't you tell us?"

"I just came back from the provincial capital a few days ago, and I planned to give everyone a surprise at the party," Lin Shao explained according to the rhetoric he had thought up before, "I just went for surgery a while ago, and it was my previous surgery." A college classmate helped me and invited a well-known expert to come over, and now it has recovered very well. This is the classmate who helped me a lot, and we have a very good relationship."

Lin Shao pointed at Bai Ze, who listened to his nonsense and did not refute him. He also nodded along with his words, and greeted the person standing in front of him: "Hi, my name is Bai Ze."

"Sit down, sit down," Uncle Chen hurriedly greeted him, "Oh, you young man looks like he has a good heart. He has really helped Xiao Lin a lot."

Lin Shao took Bai Ze to sit down at the table, and asked, "Has Yuan Kai not come back yet?"

"He's in a taxi, he'll be there soon."

After sitting down, people kept coming to ask about the condition of Lin Shao's leg. After knowing that it was cured, he was overjoyed, and thanked Bai Ze like his own child, which made Lin Shao very embarrassed.

"They all have good intentions." He was afraid that Bai Ze would not be able to bear the enthusiasm of so many humans. "Well, if you don't like this environment, you can go back to the system. I explained to them that dinner parties are very casual. , they won't mind."

"No," Bai Ze shook his head, "I think it's pretty good."

There is nothing uncomfortable about accepting kindness for no reason.He glanced at Lin Shao, his round face looked obedient, and he really seemed to please the elders.

After a while, Chen Yuankai came, with a busy look, he greeted everyone first, then turned his head and went to Lin Shao, asking as he walked: "A Shao, what's the matter? I heard from my father on the phone that your legs are alright?"

"It happened not long ago," Lin Shao said, "I wanted to tell you, but you hung up the phone before you could say it."

Chen Yuankai, who did hear the good news, suddenly laughed: "It's all my fault, I blame me for hanging up on your phone, ouch, it's so good..."

He sighed several times in a row, as if he couldn't find any adjectives for his happiness, sat down beside Lin Shao, and continued, "It's really the best news I've heard in a while."

Lin Shao was a little sensitive when he heard this. He heard Chen Yuankai's tone on the phone before, and he felt like something happened. He thought so, and asked naturally.

"You went out to get your leg treated before, maybe you don't know," Chen Yuankai sighed when he heard him ask, and then continued, "It's really not good, it's just that something happened on the demolition side."

"Ah? I know that." Although Lin Shao has been doing missions during this time, so he spends most of his time in the mountain and sea world, but he still read the news several times when he came back here about the demolition, " But then we can’t control it. Although they are demolition households, it’s useless for us to worry about something happening at the construction site.”

Chen Yuankai sighed, and said: "The reason is the same, but if there is a shutdown over there, it will have an impact."

Stop working?

Lin Shao was a little surprised. He was aware of the accident, but this was the first time he knew the news of the shutdown.

"There were safety accidents one after another, and then there were a few seriously injured people who are still in the hospital and are still in danger, do you know?" Chen Yuankai picked up a few bites of food with his chopsticks, and continued, "Now the work is stopped, but the house is demolished. After more than half of it, we received a little resettlement fee. I don’t know when he will resume work. For us demolition households, our hearts are like hanging. My family is fine, and I don’t live on that house. There are several elderly people here , all pointing to this house for retirement."

"It can be said that there is a thousand words and ten thousand, and it is useless for us to worry," Lin Shao frowned, "If the contract is signed, it can't be unfinished over there. If the developer is unscrupulous, we shouldn't come here." bear the loss."

"That's the truth, and I've advised them not to worry, but they seem to be more worried about something else." Chen Yuan paused, and when he spoke again, he lowered his voice a little, "It's what was said before, that Haunted things."

"what?"

Why is it getting more and more mysterious?

Lin Shao remembered that the clerk in Boss Pang's shop had also told him about the ghost on the construction site, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. He didn't expect that the rumor would intensify, to the point where it made everyone worry.

"The place where the accident happened in public for the first time in the media was the old ancestral hall. Since then, something happened every few days. Either migrant workers were injured, or people passing by the construction site were hit by bricks that fell inexplicably. Shoulder, the most mysterious accident was that the cook in charge of the food at the construction site suddenly went crazy. He hacked two people with a kitchen knife at night, and finally cut himself seriously. I haven’t woken up yet. It’s been a month since I went to the ambulance Five or six times, although no one was killed, the impact was so bad that the construction site was closed. Later, some people said that there were children crying and women crying in the old ancestral hall, and some people said they saw it on the construction site. Ghosting, you can say anything anyway.” Chen Yuan opened up, “But it’s very strange to say, it’s really hard to explain the accident, and the Kunlun Real Estate in charge is not a small company, it’s too strange.”

"Then you can't blame ghosts for everything." Lin Shao listened for a long time, and his frown still did not loosen. "Do you believe it too?"

"I don't believe it," Chen Yuan said, "but I don't know why, all the elderly here believe it, even my father, insisting that the old ancestral hall cannot be demolished, and the gods are angry, so the accident happened. "

"..."

Regarding the matter of the old ancestral hall, Lin Shao remembers that there was a long fight before the demolition. Finally, on the grounds of protecting the local culture and people’s feelings, the two parties agreed to relocate the old ancestral hall and build a new ancestral hall in a nearby location according to the original appearance. It's just that there are some old tablets and statues for gods.

Lin Shao has also been to the old ancestral hall many times. Before it was to be demolished, he also went to the god-inviting ceremony to help out. Young people of his generation don’t believe in any gods and Buddhas, but that doesn’t stop them from cherishing the old ancestral hall. Be in awe.

A long time ago, Liutiao Lane was the Liutiao Village by the river. It lived by eating and fishing by the river. The ancestors and gods prayed for safety before going fishing. Even if they stopped fishing later, the people living in Wicker Lane would go to the old ancestral hall to worship if they had nothing to do.Lin Shao and Grandpa also moved in later. Although their family name was not Chen, the people in Wicker Lane still accepted them and got along like a big family.

The old ancestral hall has been repaired many times in the past few years. There is really no way to repair this matter. It is too old and can only be demolished.

The family members, especially the elderly, had to do a long time of psychological construction before accepting the demolition of the ancestral hall and building a new one, but it was a coincidence that something happened there.However, just because of such a coincidence, Lin Shao felt that he could not accept the old ancestral hall, which originally symbolized the blessing of peace, as a mysterious and dark existence.
