Chapter 532: If I touch too much, will my tail go bald? (1)

The higher you go up the mountain, the more humid the air becomes. Because it rains a lot in the mountains, there are water droplets on the leaves, and the air feels sticky and sticky, which is really uncomfortable for outsiders.

Bai Yao walked on the mountain path for a long time and was very tired. She put her suitcase aside and sat on it to rest. She took out her mobile phone and saw that the navigation positioning was correct. According to the prompt on it, she still needed to walk for another half an hour.

She wanted to swear.

The phone vibrated. It was her mother calling. After the call was connected, her mother's voice came over, "Yaoyao, have you arrived at your uncle's house?"

Bai Yao raised her head and looked at the end of the stairs. It seemed that she could not see the end. She sighed, "We are almost there."

Wen Wan said, "You have to control your temper over there. I was taken care of by your uncle when I was a child. If your father and I were not on a business trip abroad and could not come back, I would not let you go to see your uncle on my behalf."

This is a poor and remote place called Baihuai County, and there is a mountain here called Baihuai Mountain.

The geographical location is very remote, and the air is humid, which is not good, but Bai Yao's uncle settled on Baihuai Mountain for his whole life.

The old man's health should be failing, and he will pass away in the next few months. He and his wife who passed away a year ago had a good relationship. They didn't have any children, but they really supported each other all their lives.

This time he was seriously ill, except for people like Bai Yao who came to visit him because their mother had been taken care of, many relatives who usually didn't see him came for property.

It is said that the old man has a batch of treasures passed down from the ancestors of the Wen family, and he has no descendants of his own. Who will inherit this batch of wealth? This is still uncertain. How can it not make people jealous?

Bai Yao listened to her mother's instructions and hung up the phone. She took a few deep breaths and continued to walk up the mountain road with her suitcase.

The mountain road was too narrow to drive in and out. She only knew this fact when she came to the foot of Baihuai Mountain. Because she had to live here for a while, she could only carry her suitcase and walk up.

Bai Yao also complained to her mother, why didn't she tell her earlier that the road here was so difficult to walk. Wen Wan directly replied: "I haven't been to Baihuai Mountain, how would I know?"

According to Ms. Wen, she got lost at the foot of the mountain when she was very young and was very scared. Later, it was her uncle and grandfather who found her and sent her to her parents.

On Baihuai Mountain is the century-old house of the Wen family. Although it is an old house, the Wen family has not returned here for a long time. Two generations ago, everyone moved to the city, leaving only the uncle and grandfather living on the mountain.

No one thought of him on weekdays, so Wenwan remembered the kindness of childhood and often sent some things to him. She wanted to come to the mountain to see the old man, but the old man said he loved quietness and did not let her come.

When he was about to die, everyone came to smell the smell of money.

Someone rode a small electric car slowly from behind and stared at Bai Yao who was walking in front for a long time. When passing by, he stepped on the brakes, "Bai Yao?"

Bai Yao raised her face.

The boy smiled and said: "Bai Yao, it's you!"

She was at a loss.

The boy laughed, "You don't remember me? I'm Zhou Xu, we played house together when we were children!"

Bai Yao thought for a long time and finally remembered this person.

Zhou Xu is her aunt's nephew. When she was young, Bai Yao followed her parents to her uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings. Zhou Xu was also there. The adults could play cards and chat, and the bored children got together to play house.

But the two of them rarely met each other later, so it's no wonder that Zhou Xu stared at Bai Yao for a long time before he dared to confirm that she was his childhood playmate.

Bai Yao also smiled, "Remember, you are Zhou Xu, we played together when we were young."

The second eldest master of the Wen family was seriously ill, and he, as a member of the Zhou family, also ran over. This lively and lively gathering was quite rare.

Zhou Xu glanced at Bai Yao's luggage and said, "It's still a long way from here to the old house on the mountain. I'll take you up."

"My suitcase is very heavy. I'm afraid you can't carry so many things." Bai Yao thought for a moment and said, "Please help me take the luggage up first. I can walk slowly."

Zhou Xu nodded, "Okay, I'll take your things up first, and then I'll pick you up."

He tied Bai Yao's suitcase to the back seat and rode up on his electric bike after a while.

Bai Yao didn't have to drag her suitcase up the mountain, and she felt a lot more relaxed. There was only one way up the mountain. She put away her phone for the time being and walked up slowly, and she could also take a look at the scenery of green trees and vines on both sides.

The water drops on her forehead were cold, so she raised her hand and wiped them off quickly. Then she looked up and saw a black crow standing on a branch. It tilted its neck, stared at Bai Yao, and cooed a few times. Then it spread its wings and flew away, causing a few more drops

of water to fall from the branch. Bai Yao quickly retreated to the side of the road to avoid the raindrops. Her feet hit something hard, causing her to grimace in pain. She

looked down again and saw a small temple.

Bai Yao had some common sense and knew that in some places, a small land temple would be built with mud on the roadside, but the statue in this small temple did not look like a land god.

She squatted down curiously and saw the statue in the temple clearly.

This is a fox made of clay. Because of wind and rain, the edges of the statue are already pitted, one of the fox ears is missing, and a corner of the big tail is also missing, which looks a bit pitiful.

"Bai Yao!" Zhou Xu rode down from the small electric car. He stepped on the brakes, landed on his feet, turned the car around, looked at Bai Yao and smiled: "People here seem to believe in fox spirits. I heard that if you pray sincerely, the fox spirits will appear. What do you think? Do you want to pray?"

Bai Yao replied: "I don't believe in these things."

But seeing the pitiful little fox, she picked up a pine cone next to it and placed it on the altar in front of the small temple.

Zhou Xu asked Bai Yao to get on the electric car, gave her a helmet, and the two of them took the electric car to the old house of the Wen family.

The house is a wooden structure with a history of hundreds of years. It is a typical Chinese-style house. At a glance, the mossy tiles are all traces of history.

The first thing Bai Yao did after getting off the car was to greet a bunch of relatives. As for those relatives with whom she had a distant relationship and rarely met for several years, she had forgotten their names and titles. Xiaoxiao was just a passing.

As for people of the same age, she still had some impression.
