Chapter 22: White House’S Secret
Chapter 22 The Secret of the Bai Family
When Bai Xu went downstairs, dinner was almost finished. Of course, this was just Bai Xun alone. Xun Luxia and Bai Wei were still waiting for the family to have a neat meal at the dining table. Only Bai Xun stepped towards Passing outside the living room, a person walked slowly and leisurely to the backyard.
The Bai family’s villa was built on the basis of the old house, and some of the old houses have also been repaired to a certain extent, but it is only the front yard. In the garden, you can clearly see the door that leads to the back yard.
The street lights also went out here. The first half was brightly lit, and the second half was dark. Bai Xun stood in front of the locked iron gate, and through the gap between the steel bars, he could see the dilapidated old house behind, under the most traditional eaves. The hanging red lanterns have been corroded and mottled, and the cobwebs have even knotted on the iron gate here.
Bai Xun raised his head and looked at it. The surrounding area was brightly lit. Only that house, which was full of darkness and blinding lights, was like a corner that was deliberately forgotten. This house has witnessed the rise and fall of the entire Bai family. But it was also ordered by the old man Bai himself. Except for the necessary repairs, all these years have been locked.
The Bai family’s management of this place is only that the house will not collapse, and the rest of the time is wasted, but Bai Xun clearly knows why Mr. Bai ordered the place to be sealed.
The place where the secret is hidden must always be cut off. It is estimated that no one can guess that the secret that the Bai family has inherited for a hundred years is actually hidden in a deserted house.
I have to say that the old man is really a very thoughtful person.
glanced sideways at the trees by the wall. After Bai Xun checked the height, she jumped on her toes and jumped up in two or three steps. She sat on the branch and watched the overgrown weeds under the wall.
She is light-handed, and she often climbed mountains to collect herbs during the Luan Dynasty, including now, so such a height is very simple for her.
Following the tree to the fence, she slid down, stepped on the soft soil, and slowly took out the installed night vision goggles from her pocket. Go up and you can see things in the dark night along the moonlight.
On the first night I stayed in, I could see this building from the small window in Bai Xun’s room.
She is also a member of the Bai family. From the memory of the dead Bai Xun, she knew that she had secretly entered this house when she was six years old. This house was occasionally mentioned by her mother when she was awake.
So she concluded that the secret of the Bai family must be hidden here. Until now, she has been searching for the reason why her mother went mad. Since she can mention it even when she is unconscious, there must be some clues here.
Wearing night vision goggles, Bai Xun stepped on the weeds and walked to the old house step by step. Although the Bai family will have people repair it every few years, the place where no one lives all the year round, no matter how much repairs are made, it is only to ensure that it will not collapse. It’s just dropped, and the rest will not be managed. Thick moss grew on the steps made of stones. Bai Xun looked up and saw the black plaque above his head.
There are four big characters on it, hanging the pot to help the world.
The red lacquered wood door was locked by a lock from the middle. Bai Xun took out the iron wire he brought from his pocket. This door lock is not a delicate thing, it can be opened with a poke.
The main hall is very wide, but there is nothing left in it. There is a thick musty smell in the air, which lingers. The thick dust accumulated on a set of mahogany tables and chairs placed in front of her told her How long has it been here that no one has been here?
“Wait until you grow up, everything here is yours, remember the family rules of our white family to save the world.”
A picture appeared in front of Bai Xun, an old man with a thick white beard wearing a brown robe, sitting on the red solid wood chair full of energy, sitting on his knees a little girl who was no more than four or five years old, braided with sheep’s horns , Pink carved jade carving, extraordinarily cute.
“We, Bai Xun, have been able to distinguish medicinal herbs since he was only four years old. He must be a great character when he grows up.”
The old man raised his hand and pointed to the black plaque hanging above the main hall. The four characters of a century-old family were written magnificently.
“The secret of the Bai family is right there. In the future, when we, Bai Xun, grow up, we will be able to carry forward the Bai family.”
Bai Xun looked up at the plaque in front of him, the things in his memory were slowly overlapping, consciously and unconsciously, even his mother had mentioned this plaque unconsciously.
The secret is definitely behind.
She stepped on the table and stood up slowly, stretched out her hand and stroked the plaque. The wood with a sense of age was thick and simple, and she could clearly see the situation in front of her from the night vision goggles. She passed through the gap of the plaque and quickly touched it. something hidden.
A small black wooden box was stuck behind the plaque. If you hadn’t touched it carefully, you wouldn’t be able to feel the thing that was about to become one with the wood.
Bai Xun raised his hand to brush away the thick dust that was brought up in front of him, and almost coughed. After cleaning the traces on the table, Bai Xun squatted on the ground. This box looks a little old, and it should be the wood with the plaque. It is the same kind, and it is even reasonable to suspect that this box was made together with this plaque, and the purpose is probably to hide the contents of this box.
This thing should have been passed down from the Bai family, and it has a history of at least a hundred years. It was hidden in this place by Mr. Bai. Because this is a restricted area, few people set foot in it. After Bai Jianhe took charge of the Bai family, he should have arranged for someone to find it, but But did not find this place.
After all, there are a lot of prescriptions left by the Bai family, so he probably never thought that Mr. Bai was hiding other secrets in private.
The boxy box is not much larger than the width of a notebook. The carvings on the box are very beautiful. Holding the things firmly in his arms, Bai Xun took the night vision goggles and walked out of the old house.
Just after returning to the villa, Bai Xun heard the laughter and laughter in the living room. Bai Xu sat beside Bai Wei and chatted with his mother in high spirits. Xun Luxia was amused by him from time to time, even Bai Wei’s cold face All with a smile.
In such a scene, no one would notice her, Bai Xun went upstairs by himself, Bai Xu saw Bai Xun who went upstairs and said nothing.
Every time he can’t say anything about Bai Xun, it seems that as long as she doesn’t hurt her sister and stays at Bai’s house peacefully, he has nothing to trouble her.
But the premise of everything is that she doesn’t hurt her sister. The last time he saw Lu Jinxiao looking at Bai Xun, there was something wrong in his eyes. The relationship between her sister and Big Brother Lu has been very good for so many years.
It is best that Bai Xun is a person who knows the current affairs and doesn’t think about some things.
Bai Wei glanced at Bai Xun who went upstairs, and winked with Xun Luxia, who instantly understood and looked at the servant over there.
“Bring a glass of milk to Bai Xun, I don’t want to be said to favor one over the other, and let her have a good rest.”
Mother Yun nodded, went to the kitchen according to Xun Luxia’s request, took out the milk from the refrigerator, heated it briefly, and brought it upstairs. Ma Yun walked steadily and disappeared at the entrance of the stairs in a short while.
Bai Xu raised his head and glanced at him, is my mother starting to accept this ‘second sister”? They asked Mother Yun to bring her milk.
The heroine started picking up equipment, hahahaha
