Reborn Leisurely Landlord

Chapter 208 The Secret Cave of the Old House
~~~~~ Dear friends, give all kinds of tickets to Shuangshuang~~~~
Gently pushing the door open, Su Qingdai slipped in cautiously, then stretched out her head and looked around, making sure no one was paying attention, Su Qingdai breathed a sigh of relief, closed the wooden door lightly and quickly, and tied the door inside, Then he walked towards the house.

Before 05:30 in the morning, she got up and ran to the old house to look for the things left by Zhang Qin.It was just dawn, and the dew wet the uppers of her shoes, but she didn't care, and sneaked into the house quietly, fearing that neighbors around would see her coming to the old house again.

This is no wonder to her. When the house was built, the feng shui master said that this area has good feng shui, so many families in the village crowded together to build houses in this area, and there was hardly any open space between the two households.So if there is any movement in that house, you can basically hear it.

This made Su Qingdai a little worried. The old house was given to her uncle. Since the farmhouse was built, Su Qingdai seldom came back here. If she came here for two days in a row, wouldn’t it be noticeable? ?It can be said that Su Qingdai is careless and cautious about the treasure map now, she is afraid that people will see it and make some rumors.

But Su Qingdai was a little lucky, the forging brocade was discovered in time, if it was a few months later, it might not be the case.Uncle has already discussed with Su's father about building a building. If the house here is really demolished and rebuilt, there is no need to talk about finding the treasure map. Su Qingdai doesn't know who to cry to.

After entering the house, there was a musty smell, and there were spider webs, and dust was everywhere.

It's no wonder that it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and uncles and aunts don't live here when they come back. They are all staying in the farmhouse, so naturally they don't feel like strangers.

At this time, it was already daylight, and Su Qingdai went to the wing room where her father lived, and pushed open the wooden door that was rickety. The tung oil on the door was no longer bright, and many places were bitten by insects, making holes.

When she got to the house, Su Qingdai walked towards the bed regardless of the dust on her face.

The wooden bed leaned against a corner, with two sides against the wall, covered by a gray curtain, and it was no longer the same as before.At that time, Su's father wanted to move the bed to the farmhouse, but Su Qingdai vetoed it.Firstly, there are bedposts and shelves all around the bed. The style is too old, and it doesn’t fit well with the farmhouse. Secondly, the bed board and bedposts have been bitten by insects. It won’t take long to throw them away, so there is no effort. move it.

Su Qingdai was extremely thankful for her wise actions at that time, so that the secret could be missed without any risk.

The moonlight is bright in front of the bed, and the branches of plums are in the corner.

"Before the bed", "corner of the wall", although these code words are exquisite, they are not hidden deeply. I think Zhang Qin came to consider that the rural people are not very literate, and he is afraid that his descendants will not be able to read them in the future.

Su Qingdai couldn't help laughing, put the forging brocade in her hand aside, and gently moved the pillar out along the bed.

Because she was afraid of making a sound, Su Qingdai had to move the bedpost lightly, and it took a long time to move the bedpost one person wide.

Su Qingdai herself was so tired that she was out of breath, and without taking a rest, she got under the dusty bed.

Along the red brick wall, Su Qingdai touched the corner of the wall.

"Yeah -" a low cry.

A dark guy rushed over suddenly, stepped on the back of Su Qingdai's hand, and slipped past her.Su Qingdai was startled, and when she turned around, she saw the mouse squeaked a few times and ran away.

Su Qingdai thought that there would be some kind of box or other baggage in the corner of the red brick wall, but she didn't see anything when she touched it.

Could it be that Father Su has already found him?He didn't recognize that thing, so he threw it away?

Su Qingdai was disappointed for a while, her first thought was that the things had been taken away.

Or maybe I made a mistake?Could it be that these two lines of poems don't actually have this meaning, but something that Zhang Qin embroidered unintentionally?
But I can't justify it. Ordinary people know that the next sentence of "Moonlight in front of the bed" is definitely not "plum blossoms in the corner of the wall".

Su Qingdai wondered if there were other possibilities, but in this room, only the corner under the bed could be hidden. Su Qingdai couldn't figure it out, and stood up while leaning on the wall.

As a result, the mouse came back without fear of death, slipped through Su Qingdai's shoe, ran towards the corner of the wall, and then slipped into a gap in the corner of the wall and disappeared!
Su Qingdai was startled, then slapped her forehead, overjoyed: Why did you forget this one? !
The red brick houses built in the countryside are all double-layered. Because the red bricks are thin, they are built with two red bricks stacked together, so there is a gap as wide as the red brick in the middle of the wall.

Those gaps provide room for mice and other bugs, and many mice make their homes in those gaps.Sometimes when I fall asleep at night, I can hear the sound of mice crawling in the walls.At this time, Su Qingye would take Su Qingdai's hand and whisper, "Sister, those mice are moving again."

Now is not the time to reminisce, but those things reminded Su Qingdai that the walls are not solid, since they can hide mice, can they also hide other things?
Su Qingdai's heart couldn't help "pounding" very fast, and her outstretched hands trembled slightly, she squatted down quickly, and started from the bottom, touching the red bricks one by one.

It wasn't long before she came across a loose brick.Su Qingdai's heart was beating wildly, restraining her rapid heartbeat, and carefully picked up the brick.

A brick about twenty centimeters long and ten centimeters wide was picked out by Su Qingdai and thrown aside, a dark hole appeared in the corner of the wall.

Su Qingdai stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a while.It took a long while to take a deep breath, then found a flashlight from his pocket, put on gloves again, then unscrewed the flashlight and shone in.

In fact, the hole is not deep, because the gap in the wall is not big, and you can touch it to the end with your hand.

It was just because the hole was too dark, Su Qingdai was afraid that besides rats, centipedes and scorpions would crawl out of the wall, so she didn't dare to reach in rashly.

Under the light, there were indeed many thousand-legged reptiles running away, and then the cave became quiet.Su Qingdai suppressed the nausea in her heart, stretched her hand into the hole and began to explore.

There was nothing on the left, so Su Qingdai touched the bottom of the hole on the right with her hand, but it was empty.

Su Qingdai's heart sank, she couldn't figure out why there was nothing there, could it be that she was stumped?She was thinking of retracting her hand to the left to touch again, when she tripped over something on the wall, Su Qingdai was startled, then smiled.

A square box was glued to the wall, and Su Qingdai took a lot of effort to dig it out from the wall. Manman withdrew his hand and took it out to see, it was a small square black lacquered wooden box, Su Qingdai Just looking at the surface of that box made me ecstatic.

"Tongnian Baojian", the eye-catching Liuyun logo on the wooden box made Su Qingdai believe that the things in the box were definitely not ordinary things.

Su Qingdai admired Zhang Qin in her heart. She could think of such a hidden place to hide things. The red brick wall is as thick as it is, and it is rare for bricks to loosen.In addition, it is in the corner, and most people will not notice it at all.It was just an ordinary red brick, and no one would have guessed that there was a mystery hidden in it.

Su Qingdai has only seen this kind of plot in TV dramas before, and she never thought that her mother is the one who uses this mystery most flexibly!No wonder those family forces and even Zhao Tianhua failed to take advantage of her!
Then she took another photo in the cave, felt all around the wall, and found nothing else.

Su Qingdai felt relieved, quickly closed the bricks together, and restored them to their original appearance, and then put the things into the Qiankun bag.

It was almost seven o'clock at this time, and I heard the voices of neighbors outside the house, probably going to work in the field.Su Qingdai didn't dare to delay any longer, restored all the objects in the house to their original places, and then went out.

As a result, I bumped into Aunt Lian at the door. Seeing Su Qingdai walking out of the old house so early, and she was all gray and looking embarrassed, she couldn't help asking strangely: "Dai girl, what are you doing today?" Came here so early?"

Su Qingdai was annoyed for a while, but her expression didn't change much: "I'm here to see if there are any better old jars. I'm going to make fruit wine at home, but there aren't enough jars, so I'll come here to have a look. I don't know why What happened, the cellar collapsed all right, and the jars were all broken, so they couldn't be used anymore."

Even my aunt didn't think it was strange, the Su family made wine every year, especially in the past few years, the business of the farmhouse was good, and many guests asked for the grain wine and fruit wine brewed by the Su family by name, and it was not surprising to use jars, so She didn't ask any more questions.

After going back, he bumped into Wang Xinqiang again, so naturally he had to ask.Su Qingdai only said that she went to the old house to fetch jars, but she couldn't find anything useful.Wang Xinqiang basically didn't ask questions about anything other than the farm, so he didn't suspect anything.

Panting heavily, Su Qingdai ran back to the house, washed her face casually, then went into the bedroom and locked the door behind her.

A dark, square box appeared in the room. Like the previous boxes, I don't know what it was made of.It's just that the words "Tongnian Baojian" are extremely conspicuous, and one can tell at a glance that they belong to the same source as the previous ones.

Su Qingdai tapped it a few times with her hands, and there was a muffled sound coming from inside, probably something was embedded in it.

However, this box is a little different from other boxes, but it is locked.Su Qingdai looked at the iron lock hanging on the box, with a key hanging from it with a red string, which really didn't match the classical temperament of the box.

After unlocking the box with the key, Su Qingdai was a little nervous.On the one hand, she hoped that the thing inside was the treasure map she was looking for, but on the other hand, she was afraid that the thing would bring her unknown danger.

After hesitating for a moment, she stretched out her hand, took a deep breath, and gently pulled the top of the box.

With a bang, the box opened——
