    Sinan Road, known as the essence of Shanghai for a century, still has many unique Western-style buildings. From south to north, passing through the former residence of Boss Mei, Zhou Mansion and the former residence of Sun Yat-sen, I wish I could write down all the old times along the way.

    The roads on both sides are not very wide, but the green trees have long blocked the sun, and the red walls are covered with green ivy. It is even more obvious that there is such an ancient feeling of old Shanghai in it.  Everything you can see is a microcosm of the French Concession in the old days.

    Zeng Li's house is very large, with three floors. A wall stands around it. Inside is a three-story red building with wooden windows. It should have been simply renovated from the 1920s to the present, but the architecture has been maintained to the greatest extent.  Overall tone and color.

    Looking at the white walls and black tiles in front of him, Chen Yang stamped his feet: "Zeng Li's ancestors were too capitalist!"

    As he spoke, he carefully took out a delicate purse from his pocket, took out a copper key, and stabbed at the big copper lock on the gate fence. However, the copper lock was old and windy.  Exposed to the sun, the inside was rusty and shriveled like a forty-year-old middle-aged woman. No matter how hard Chen Yang exerted his force until the tiger's mouth ached, the copper lock remained motionless.

    After using all his strength for more than twenty minutes, Chen Yang was sweating and panting like an ox as he kicked the iron door: "The ancestors have eyes in the sky. Chen Yang, an unworthy descendant, came to Shanghai to seek life. He had nowhere to stay. He just heard  I know that you bought real estate in Shanghai before your death, so you came here after asking around, so you should open the door!"

    I kicked the foot down in frustration, and I don't know what physical reaction it produced. I only heard the click of a machine spring, and the big copper lock opened in response. The iron door made a sore-teeth sound and then slowly opened.  Come the gap.

    The sound of the big iron gate startled Chen Yang here. Before he could react, Chen Yang was squatting on the street and licking a lollipop. His hands were stained with candy and his face was messy.

    Chen Yang grabbed the little girl's collar and pulled her candy-stained hand forward: "It seems that we will have to live here after tonight."

    The small yard is full of dilapidated ground, with fallen leaves wrapped in dust. There is an old bicycle parked at the door. It is dark and covered with dust. It is definitely not a product made after 1949, but earlier, because the handlebar edge  There is also a copper bell hanging.

    There is a swing in the yard that has not been used for I don¡¯t know how many years. One of the ropes is broken and the other one is also crumbling.

    Chen Yang put his hands on his waist: "Actually, I think it's quite decent here if you clean it up."

    Huang Lingqi on the side curled her lips, she was obviously more interested in the swing.

    Dragging Huang Lingqi up the bluestone steps and pushing open the old wooden door, a smell of decay came oncoming. It was a place that no one had lived in for many years. It was dark inside and the furniture had been replaced by the vast turmoil of the 1960s.  Empty during the movement.

    "It's a pity that none of the descendants of the family in this house worked before 1949. Otherwise, how could the little red soldiers get the objects here?" Chen Yang dusted off his legs and feet and held them in one hand.  Huang Lingqi threw her luggage aside and said, "Let's go upstairs and have a look."

    "Are you sure you want to live here?" Huang Lingqi grabbed Chen Yang's collar and hugged his neck even harder with her fleshy arms.

    "If you don't have electricity, you can light candles first. Just go to the Electricity Bureau and ask after a while. It doesn't matter if you don't have water. The weather isn't too hot yet. It won't be a problem if you don't take a shower for a day or two. Clean it up and make it habitable.  ." Chen Yang licked the corners of his mouth and looked around expectantly.

    Huang Lingqi¡¯s little head arched into Chen Yang¡¯s arms and she said in a sweet voice, ¡°It¡¯s too dark.¡±

    It is true that no one has lived in it all year round. It is a lifeless old building with no lights. Even on the south side facing the sun, the old and dirty glass blocks most of the sunlight, making the whole building look dark and gloomy.  .

    How could little Huang Lingqi know that this is really a prime location in Shanghai? The former French Concession and today's Huangpu District are infinitely more expensive than the high-rise buildings built in the past twenty years in Lujiazui on the other side of the river.

    "It's okay, there will be bread, there will be milk, and everything will get better slowly." Chen Yang rubbed Huang Lingqi's head and softened the ponytail that he had tied up casually, making it look even more awkward.

    Because Huang Lingqi was afraid of the dark, Chen Yang had to carry her behind his back and start cleaning the house, starting with the hall on the first floor. Although it had been evacuated long ago, it did not hinder the dust and mouse droppings everywhere. He spent a lot of effort to clean it. Since it was  A new life means a new look, right?

    After cleaning the first floor, I followed the squeaky stairs to the second floor. There were four rooms in total, large and small.However, Chen Yang decided to clean the master bedroom first, but found something strange.

    The bed in the master bedroom has long since disappeared, but there is still a dressing table. Although it is covered with dust, what is interesting is that there is an old picture frame on the dressing table.

    There are signs of cracking around the wooden photo frame, and the glass mirror has long since disappeared, but there is an old, yellowed photo inside.

    In the photo, there is an old man with a goatee, his hands folded on a Luohan bamboo cane. Although he looks old, he is wearing a long gown and has a majestic appearance.  Sitting beside him was a graceful and bejeweled middle-aged woman, wearing a cheongsam and looking rich and noble. She had gentle temples and a smile like the spring breeze on her face. That smile was so kind that it made the black and white photo even more beautiful.  Lots of color.

    Huang Lingqi took one look at the photo and seemed to think that the black and white photo was too weird. Maybe it was because the light on the second floor was dimmer, so she turned her head and stopped looking at the weird photo.

    Chen Yang found the photo very interesting. Since it was placed in the master bedroom, it should be the owner of the house, that is

    "Zeng Li's old Zeng Li's grandfather?" Chen Yang reacted and immediately hugged Huang Lingqi with one hand. With the other hand, he took out his mobile phone with a Leica lens from his pocket, turned on the built-in camera and beauty, and bent down.  I came to take a friendly photo with the photo on the dressing table, and immediately sent it to Zeng Li, and also sent it to a circle of friends.

    Satisfied, he put away his phone, put Huang Lingqi down, and Chen Yang started to pack it up. After all, this master bedroom was for people to live in at night. Although he took the initiative to lay the floor tonight, the floor under his feet was a wooden floor, which squeaked when he stepped on it.  It's not a strange feeling.

    After busying around for half an hour, tired Chen Yang sat down to smoke a cigarette and take a breather. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to check the feedback from his circle of friends.

    As expected, several big red circles appeared next to the rainbow logo in the circle of friends. I covered them and clicked them open. I was quite satisfied looking at the likes, but at this moment, a message caught my mind.

    "Who is that woman next to the old man? The dress of the young lady from the Republic of China is so pretty, and she has an outstanding temperament, tsk tsk tsk."

    Chen Yang was confused, what kind of look was he looking at? The old man, his grandma, was obviously wearing a cheongsam, so why was it turned into a dress?  After pulling up the screen and finding his circle of friends, Chen Yang was immediately stunned!

    I saw that there were only two people in the photo, my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother, but after taking the photo and posting it on WeChat, there was an additional woman standing next to my grandfather, with her pink arm gently resting on my great-grandfather¡¯s shoulder.  On the screen, she smiled, but through the black and white photo on the screen, the smile looked very weird and stiff, half-smiling but not smiling, and those eyes were looking at her through the screen intently.

    At this moment, Chen Yang suddenly heard a sound of flowing breath coming from his ears that seemed to be there but not at all, like breathing and whispering. If he listened carefully, it turned out to be singing.

    "The butterflies fly awayMy heart is no longer thereWho will come in the long and lonely night"

    After hearing this song, Chen Yang, whose heart was in his throat, shuddered and sat on the ground. He looked around again. The more he looked at the old house, the more gloomy he felt. There was always a pair of eyes watching in the dark building.  Just like yourself.

    But at this moment, the voice sounded again: "I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo. You have an interesting name, little ghost head. Since your surname is Wu, the cause and effect will be advantageous to you."

    The sound floated in and reverberated through the foreign-style building. After a long time, the surroundings became silent again. Until later, the sound of a golden bell striking appeared in my mind. It lasted for a long time, reverberating back and forth. That sound  Chen Yang was so enlightened that he suddenly woke up a lot. When he opened his eyes, he heard a voice in his mind accompanied by the ringing of the golden bell: "Huh? You have a heavenly eye and you are a monk, but this little boy  Girl, why do you have heavenly eyes?" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
