Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2286 Sure enough, there is something 2.0

The bluestone bricks that Shen Cha pointed out seemed to be a bit loose and not very solid, so Ying Wu found a tool and pried them open with a little force.

After prying it open, he could see clearly why there was a hollow sound underneath the bluestone bricks. He stood up, spread his hands towards Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, and shook his head slightly.

"What's wrong? No?"

"My Lord, Boss, this is a channel used for drainage. If I am not mistaken, it existed before the renovation. It is integrated with the entire drainage channel of our border. So, when we renovated this street, we preserved it."

"Yes, I know this." Shen Cha came over to take a look, recalled carefully, and said, "In fact, where we are standing now is not where we used to live, but the street in front of the door. The main drainage channels of the border are arranged on the street, and half of them are not arranged in the house or yard." She looked at the layout of the entire yard and pointed to the main hall not far away, "That should be it, and only the left half is there, the right half should be the neighbor's grandmother's house."

"Then," Song Qiyun touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it possible that they hid the things in the old lady's house next door?"

"should not."

"Are you so sure?"

"Of course, you don't know how much the grandmother next door hates them. She hates them so much." Shen Cha thought of a scene he had seen a long time ago, and couldn't help but laugh. He said, "It's even to the point where she has to throw a knife at them if they pass by her door."

"Throwing out a knife?" Song Qiyun blinked and looked at Shen Cha in confusion, "What does this mean? Are you trying to kill them both?"

"What are you thinking! Grandma is so old, how could she do such a thing? It means to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters." Shen Cha chuckled, "The old lady thinks they are unlucky. Seeing them passing by her door, she is afraid that they will bring bad luck to her, so she threw out a knife to block their bad luck and even bounce their bad luck back to them."

"I heard this for the first time. It's really informative. However, from this behavior, we can also see that the old lady really hates them, right?" Song Qiyun strolled around the yard twice. "They shouldn't hide things there, but..." He looked around and said, "Where else can they hide it?"

"I don't know. Rather than saying that the old lady hates them, it's better to say that everyone on the street hates them. If the two of them walked through this street, they would be no different from disaster stars. So, there is absolutely no one who can really help them."

"They are so hated, but they have been able to live on this street for so long. Aren't they embarrassed?"

"Embarrassed? They are so thick-skinned, how could they feel embarrassed? They even enjoy it." Shen Cha looked at Song Qiyun's shocked expression, patted him lightly, and walked towards the main hall while saying, "They really enjoy the feeling that others don't like them, hate them, but can't get rid of them. At that moment, they feel that they have reached the pinnacle of their lives."

"They really are not smart." Song Qiyun snorted, "Sister, are you sure they are really from the Xuanyuan family? The Xuanyuan family has never produced anyone with such a stupid mind."

"It's not impossible for a few members of the clan to be confused after a hundred years of inheritance, right? Seriously speaking, although the uncles and aunts on this street can't kill them, they often help Jiu'er and me. If it weren't for them, we would have died long ago and would not have been able to escape."

"I know." Shen Haolin put his arm around Shen Cha's shoulders. "So, all the shops on this street were rented to the original residents to thank them for taking care of you and Jiuer." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin who walked to her side, heard his words, and smiled at him.

"I heard from Brother Xiaotian that it was his brother's idea. He also asked me if I wanted to come back and have a chat with the neighbors, but I refused. At that time, the war was intense and we were all prepared to die in the war. We simply couldn't spare any energy. When the war was over, we had to deal with post-war affairs, which left us even less energy. As a result, it dragged on year after year. Now it seems that there is not much point in visiting them, right?"

"That's right!" Shen Haolin smiled, took Shen Cha's hand, pushed open the door of the main hall, and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

Song Qiyun and Ying Wu silently watched the scene that just happened in front of them, followed behind the two people, looked at each other, and both spread their hands at the same time.

"It's really hard to follow them every day!" Song Qiyun patted Yingwu's shoulder and whispered, "Fortunately, I don't have to see such scenes every day, otherwise I might have gone crazy a long time ago."

"It's okay. If it's more extreme, we can't see it, and they won't let us see it." Ying Wu saw that the lights in the main hall were on, and dragged Song Qiyun inside, "Your Highness, hurry up!"

When the two of them walked in, they saw Shen Cha had lit all the candles inside, and the whole room was as bright as day.

"This is the first time I've seen such an empty main hall!" Song Qiyun looked at the empty house and couldn't help but sighed, saying, "Can this be called a bare house?"

"Your Highness!" Ying Wu tugged at Song Qiyun's sleeve, "How can this be called a penniless family? This is worse than a penniless family!"

"That's true. At least they have tables, chairs and benches. We really have nothing here!" Song Qiyun walked up to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. "Even if no one lives here, if we want to save trouble, at least we have to have tables, chairs and benches, even if it's just for show, right? We have so many unused ones in our warehouse. We don't have to spend money to buy a few sets, right?"

"Isn't this to prevent thieves from targeting us?" Shen Cha spread his hands. "I came in and saw that this place is empty. They won't come next time, right?"

"Really!" Song Qiyun was speechless. "No wonder there's not even a lock on the door. The lock looks more valuable than this house."

"Okay, don't despise this room, let's quickly find a place to hide something!" Shen Cha patted Song Qiyun, smiled, and pulled Shen Haolin to the left half of the main hall, "We'll check this side, and you check that side."

"Okay!" Song Qiyun responded, dragging Ying Wu in the opposite direction of Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "It's empty here, and you're still hiding something. What can you hide?"

"Your Highness, please keep your voice down!" Ying Wu looked back and found Shen Haolin and Shen Cha standing in front of something. They were talking about something and hadn't noticed them at all. He lowered his voice and said, "The boss originally had a grudge against this place. The emptier it is, the more comfortable she feels. If this place really becomes her home, she will be really crazy."

"That's true." Song Qiyun thought about it, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, let's go find it quickly, who knows if there really is something good!"
