Chapter 778 The Cellar
What Xu Shiyan said about how to deal with it did not refer to the removal or retention of these things, nor did he mean to hand them over to the state.

It's not that he is so greedy for money and reluctant to part with it, the key is trouble.

If this is really handed in, will the original owner come back to make trouble after knowing the news?

Can those so-called experts say that there is probably something hidden in this house, and it is best to dig it out?

Can other people be jealous and sneak up to hunt for treasure?

It should be said that these are not possible, but will definitely happen.

The Xu family doesn't live here, if the disturbance continues like this, will the house still be there when they come next time?
If the house is not kept in order, the house can be demolished secretly, and even the foundation is gone.

In order to avoid trouble, don't even think about handing over things like this.

Besides, the house he bought with money, everything in the house belongs to him.

It doesn't matter if it's a sandwich wall or a cellar, anyway, as long as there is something, it belongs to the Xu family.

What Xu Shiyan meant was, what are they going to do with these four boxes now.

Should I move it back to the interlayer wall, or take it back to the small courtyard at night, and wait to find a way to transport it back to the northeast?

"Dad, it's better to move away, you can't stay here.

This house needs to be refurbished. If the worker finds the sandwich wall while working, can the thing still be kept? "

Xu Haiyuan guessed what Xu Shiyan was thinking, and suggested.

"Well, I also think it's best to move away.

But moving to the small courtyard is not a long-term solution. We don't live in the small courtyard. We can come here once or twice a year. Who can guarantee that it will be safe to put it in the small courtyard? "

Xu Shiyan sighed, this guy turned out to be a hot potato, and it was quite difficult to deal with.

"Dad, those are things for later. There is still something to do right now."

Xu Haiyuan didn't think it was too difficult. In his opinion, this thing is easy to deal with.

"What's the matter?" Xu Shiyan was taken aback, not understanding what the eldest son wanted to say.

"Dad, you said that this house is so big, it is said that a senior official once lived there.

Maybe there's something hidden here?Will there be any sandwich walls, or cellars, secret rooms and the like? "

Xu Haiyuan looked thoughtful.

"The point is, our house needs major repairs. If something is discovered by the workers during the repair of the house, it will be a big trouble."

Xu Shiyan glanced at his eldest son, smiled and shook his head, "Impossible, I've been thinking about it all day.

How big an official must be?These are hidden in the sandwich wall, where else can they be hidden?

How could the descendants of his family be ignorant?
It’s a lot to be able to hide these things. I guess something must have happened at the time, so I didn’t have time to tell future generations. "

You are lucky to find these things.

Xu Shiyan didn't dare to think that there are treasures hidden in this house, it's impossible.

"Dad, never mind that it might be impossible, we have to look for it first, what if?"

Xu Haiyuan still insisted on his own ideas.

In his opinion, this kind of high-ranking official's family must have left a lot of backup, and it is impossible to have only one sandwich wall.

The eldest son insisted, and besides, there was indeed some truth to it.

Regardless of whether there are any treasures, you should really look around and look for them.Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"Okay, then let's wander around and look around, don't care if there are any, just look for it and give up."

Xu Shiyan glanced at Su Anying, thinking he was playing with the children.

When Xu Haiqing heard it, he couldn't care less about the pain in the back of his head, so he raised his legs and ran outside.

Xu Jinping, on the other hand, glanced at the wall behind her, "How do you close the sandwich wall?"

The wall can't be open all the time, can it?It was closed when they were looking for Xu Haiqing just now, which means there must be an agency.

Xu Haiyuan came to the base of the wall, stepped on the raised brick again, and the sandwich wall closed again.

"There should be a mechanism in there, which can be closed. I guess Xu Haiqing fell into it and directly touched it." Xu Haiyuan explained to his sister.

The side walls were closed, and the four boxes were temporarily placed in this room, and then Xu Shiyan waved his hand, motioning for the children to play.

"Okay, let's all go around, maybe we can find some hidden treasures."

Treasure hunting, this is the children's favorite.

Xu Haiqing was the first to jump out, found a stick outside, and started beating on the walls of every room.

Xu Haiyuan was not that stupid, so he didn't knock on every wall.

The interlining wall must be much thicker than ordinary walls for people to hide things. This can be seen through careful observation.

Going back and forth into the courtyard, the children searched dozens of houses one by one, but finally found no sandwich walls.

But they found a cellar in the yard and a dry well in the backyard.

The cellar may have been the vegetable cellar in the past. In front of the kitchen door of the third courtyard, there was a square opening covered with stone slabs.

Xu Shiyan, Xu Haiyuan and his son worked together to lift the stone slab away, revealing the entrance below.

Seeing the entrance, Xu Haiqing anxiously wanted to go down, but was grabbed by Xu Haiyuan.

"What are you in a hurry for?
I don't know how long no one has gone down to this cellar, and we don't know what's in it.

What if there are no vents and no oxygen inside?It's too dangerous to venture down. "

Xu Haiqing was taken aback, scratched his head, and laughed.

"I'm so anxious, I just want to see what's below. What if there is still a baby?"

Xu Shiyan raised his hand and tapped his youngest son on the forehead.

"Stupid, this is the vegetable cellar. It is used to store radishes and cabbage in winter. What kind of treasure can there be in it?"

"Dad, it doesn't have to be all cabbage here."

Xu Haiyuan glanced at his father and younger brother, and explained something awkwardly.

"In the past, ordinary people couldn't afford to dig a cellar, and they had to be rich and have a private yard to dig a cellar.

Some cellars are very large, more than ten square meters, and people can live in them.

In times of chaos, you can hide in the cellar.

There are also some rich people who specialize in digging cellars to store wine. "

Xu Haiyuan was afraid that if he explained too much, his father would feel uncomfortable, but if he didn't explain, he would panic again.

"Oh, there's so much to learn about co-authoring.

I thought it was similar to the Caijiaozi in Northeast China. "

Xu Shiyan didn't think it was embarrassing or anything. His eldest son felt very normal when he knew this, and there was nothing surprising about it.

"Then when shall we go down? Just open the lid like this, let's chat here?"

Xu Haiqing couldn't bear her temper, and eagerly wanted to go down and have a look.

"So, you and Second Sister Ni and the others, go to the surrounding shops and find out if there is a blower.

If there is one, buy it back, and then buy a long section of wires and a plug-in strip.

Let's use a blower to blow the inside, so that the ventilation can be faster. "

At present, I don't know the situation below, so I really dare not go down rashly.

You must know that carbon dioxide is heavier than air, and the further you go down, the more dangerous it is.

This is not a joke, people die in the cellar every winter, so be careful.

Blowers are available in the Northeast. Nowadays, some people burn sawdust and need to use blowers.

I don't know if there are any in the capital, so I can only inquire.

The most important thing is to pay Xu Haiqing to save this kid from being anxious and nagging all the time, which is too annoying.

Xu Haiqing didn't know that his brother thought he was annoying, so he sent him away on purpose.

As soon as I heard that I was going to buy a blower, I followed the two sisters away.

After sending away his younger siblings, Xu Haiyuan asked Su Anying to watch from above. He and Xu Shiyan were going to go into the cellar.

"No, didn't you just say that the cellar is dangerous and you won't let it go down?"

Seeing that something was wrong, Su Anying hurriedly stopped the father and son.

"Mom, I was fooling Xu Haiqing.

The cellars of this kind of big family have ventilation holes at the bottom.Don't believe me? "

While talking, Xu Haiyuan took out a box of matches, lit one and probed into the cellar, but the match did not go out.

"My dad and I walked down while lighting a match.

If there is any abnormality in the match, we will return immediately. "

It would be better if there was a candle, but unfortunately, they just came here, and there is nothing here.

The match was still in Xu Haiyuan's pocket at some point.

Just like that, the two struck matches, and under Su Anying's worried gaze, they walked step by step into the cellar.

After walking two steps, Xu Haiyuan lit a match and bent down to try it out. If the match didn't go out, it meant there was oxygen below.

"Dad, did you see that? The flame of this match is on the wrong side.

This means that the bottom is ventilated, and once the cellar door is opened, the air can circulate. "

Xu Haiyuan's observation ability is naturally extraordinary, Xu Haiyuan told his father while the two were walking.

In this way, the father and father carefully descended to the bottom of the cellar.

From the light coming from above, one can roughly see that this is a very square cellar.

The height should be less than two meters, and the surrounding area should be made of strips of stone, which are neat and clean. There are probably large stone slabs on the top of the head, and there are also stone slabs underneath.

The cellar is not too big, and it feels about seven or eight flat, very regular.

It's just a mess on the ground, covered with scraps of paper and broken porcelain.

Xu Shiyan bent down to pick up a piece of broken porcelain, took two steps outside and stared at it blindly.

"Unfortunately, this should be a fragment of porcelain."

Seeing these fragments, what else do you not understand?
Twenty years ago, the owner of the house should have hidden some porcelain, calligraphy and paintings in the cellar.

It's a pity that this cellar is too conspicuous to be discovered.

Then someone came down and found those things. It was probably destroyed after a meal, and it became the scene in front of us.

"I'm blind, if these things are kept until now, I'm afraid that any of them will be worth a lot of money."

In those years, too many good things were really ruined.

"Go, go up, even if there used to be anything in here, it has been destroyed, what a pity."

Xu Shiyan shook his head and sighed, then turned to leave.

"Dad, wait a minute." Xu Haiyuan didn't rush up, but looked around.

"It stands to reason that the cellar shouldn't be so small."

While talking, Xu Haiyuan groped and tapped on the wall.

Sure enough, the sound of knocking on one of the walls was wrong.

"Dad, I think there should be another room here. Wait a minute, I'll look for the agency."

As soon as the words fell, and Xu Haiyuan didn't know what happened to him, he heard a creaking sound.

The wall in front of Xu Haiyuan unexpectedly cracked a hole more than two feet wide.

Xu Shiyan was immediately dumbfounded, isn't this too evil?Did his eldest son really hit the mark?
"Well, there really is another room here."

How do you feel that today's experience is just like the one in the story, so bizarre?How can there be such a coincidence?

Xu Haiyuan didn't care how surprised his father was, he stepped into the inner compartment.

There was no light in here, it was very dark, and the Xu family father and son didn't bring any lighting things in, so they had no choice but to light another match.

With the faint light of the match, it can be seen that this secret room is about ten square meters, and it is as neat and clean as the outside room.

There are several boxes on the ground, and I don't know what is inside.

Xu Haiyuan just wanted to go over to have a look, but the match was extinguished, so he hurriedly struck another one to illuminate it and move forward.

But how long can the match last? After just two steps, it went out again.

"Dad, go and move those four boxes over here, it will be fine to hide them here.

Tonight or sometime, the two of us will prepare flashlights before coming here, otherwise it will be pitch black and we won’t be able to see anything clearly. "

Xu Haiyuan could only sigh, because he didn't have a suitable lighting tool in his hand, it was impossible.

Just now when Xu Haiyuan was lighting a match, Xu Shiyan also saw the box on the ground.

Needless to say, it must be something hidden by the homeowner.

It is very possible that the family knew that something was going to happen at the time, so they put the worthless things outside to attract attention, and put all the valuable things inside.

At that time, those people came to search and saw a pile of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings outside, and smashed them directly, thinking that it was all there.

So I didn't search carefully, and I didn't find that there was another room in the cellar, and I didn't know that the house still had a sandwich wall.

"Okay, then I'll move the box."

There is nowhere better than this place, the safest place, as long as they don't mention it, it will be very difficult for outsiders to find this place.

Very good, there is such a place, but it solves a big problem.

It was said before that the box was to be moved to the courtyard, but where could it be hidden?There are so many people over there, no matter where you hide, you can't hide it from them.

Just like that, Xu Shiyan went up from the cellar and talked to Su Anying.

Then the couple moved the box down and hid it in the inner room.

Afterwards, the three came out from the inner room, and Xu Haiyuan activated the mechanism to restore the wall.

"The people in the past were really amazing. They were able to build such a place underground with a mechanism. It's amazing." Xu Shiyan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Not long after the three of them came out of the cellar, sisters Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping came back.

It's just that all three of them had empty hands. Obviously, they didn't buy a blower.

"Brother, we have inquired about several places, and they all said that there is no blower." Xu Haiqing said with a mournful face.

"If you don't have it, then you don't have it, after such a long time, it is estimated that the ventilation at the bottom is almost the same.

Do you want to go down with me and have a look? "Xu Haiyuan asked his younger brother pretending.

"Okay, okay, let's go down together."

When Xu Haiqing heard this, he immediately became interested, and came to the cellar entrance happily.

"Come on, let's go down and have a look."

The little kid was very curious about what was going on underneath, so he thought, what if the bottom is like that sandwiched wall, hiding a lot of treasures?

Xu Shiyan and Su Anying looked at each other, both holding back their smiles.

This silly boy, thanks to the fact that Xu Haiyuan and Xu Haiyuan are brothers, otherwise, wouldn't Xu Haiyuan play around?
"Father, Mom, why don't you go down and have a look?"

Xu Haiqing followed his brother down a few steps, then suddenly turned around and asked Xu Shiyan and his wife.

"No, what's there to see in a broken vegetable cellar? You two are just curious, but I'm not interested at all.

You two go down, if there is any treasure under there, remember to call me, and I will go down to join in the fun. "

Xu Shiyan held back a smile and said with a serious face.

"Oh, okay, then I'll go down with my elder brother. If there are any treasures down there, I'll call you." Xu Haiqing nodded.

Well, then only the two brothers can go on an adventure.

"Second Sister and Fourth Sister, let's forget about you two, it's dark down here, it's not good for you two to be afraid if you go down."

Xu Haiqing waved at Xu Jinping and Xu Jinhui, turned around and followed Xu Haiyuan down the cellar.

Not long after, I heard Xu Haiqing's voice from below.

"These prodigal sons, why are they smashing good things? It's a pity."
