Chapter 639
He Xiaoxi came to the garden of the main courtyard.Climb up the rockery and find a clean place to sit down.Overlooking the entire garden from the rockery.

Because the previous garrison had just left, the garden was still tidy.None of the overgrown weeds of previous years.Therefore, the bluestone path can be seen clearly.Under the sun, it emits a different brilliance from the surrounding mud.

He Xiaoxi looked down from above, which really made her see the difference.

On the east side of the rockery, the bluestone path is one-way.On the west side of the rockery, the bluestone path is two-way.Although the distance between the two stone roads is quite wide, they are indeed side by side.

This new discovery made He Xiaoxi very happy.Coming down from the rockery, He Xiaoxi stood on the trail to the west of the rockery.The end of the bluestone path is just outside the gable of the east wing room they visited last night.

He Xiaoxi can conclude that all this is not a coincidence.The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets must be in the East Wing.It's just that they didn't find it.

In the past few days, I have been looking for people from the secret room. They frequently enter and leave the Lu family's old house.In the future, after finding the entrance and moving things inside, it will come in and out frequently.

He Xiaoxi knew that if there was no reasonable explanation, others would definitely become suspicious.

Because the old house of the Lu family has been vacant for many years.Almost like a haunted house.So she had to find a reasonable excuse for herself to get in and out.

Except for the main courtyard in the Lu family's old house, the other courtyards were not all paved with stone pavement or blue brick road.Therefore, He Xiaoxi decided to reclaim all the land in these yards to grow food and vegetables.

While finding a reasonable excuse for yourself, it also adds some extra gains.

The Lu family's old house covers an area of ​​about five or six acres.In addition to the land occupied by the houses, each courtyard has at least two acres of arable land.

After planting, the grain and vegetables harvested in one year are also a considerable amount.

Just do it, He Xiaoxi went back to find her brother.Farm tools were brought.Borrowing cattle from the uncle's family, the brother and sister started farming.

He Xiaoxi was leading the ox in front, and He Xiaodong was holding the plow behind.While the siblings were plowing the land, He Xiaoxi told her brother what she had just discovered.

Moreover, He Xiaoxi had an idea.This idea came from the makeup box that Chu Fengchu left with her.The cosmetic box has a mezzanine.

He Xiaoxi wondered if there was a mezzanine in the east wing of the Lu family.If so, it would explain why they couldn't find the secret in the East Wing.

Hearing that He Xiaoxi wanted to cultivate the land in the old house, all members of the Lu family rushed over to help.With everyone here, it is inconvenient for He Xiaoxi to talk to her brother.

The two brothers and sisters stopped talking and concentrated on turning the ground with everyone.Sprinkle with vegetable seeds.

It had just rained and the ground was still wet.No need to water, very convenient.

In the evening, the brother and sister met again and entered the east wing of the Lu family's old house.He Xiaoxi took a step outside, then went into the room and took a step around the width of the room.

Make sure the width inside the house is really different from the width outside the house.Maybe there's a trick to building it?Perhaps the difference of more than one meter is not obvious.

It is difficult for outsiders to discover the secrets in the house if they do not take special measurements.

The secret must be at the end of the bluestone path.So the He brothers and sisters were lying on the north end of the east wing, and they had to use a high-powered magnifying glass to find the secrets on the wall.

Because of the clear direction, He Xiaoxi and the others quickly discovered the mechanism on the wall.

He Xiaoxi always thought that it must be the entrance to the secret room on the back wall.Because the back wall is next to the small garden of the main courtyard.However, the ancestors of the Lu family found another way and did tricks on the north wall.

Most people can't think of it.

If He Xiaoxi hadn't discovered the secret of the Qingshiban trail and combined the two, he wouldn't have guessed the result.

As the gable was pushed away, a dark hole was revealed.Down the hole, there are steps.

He Xiaoxi lit a candle prepared in advance, and put the candle under the hole.The candle was not extinguished.Moreover, with the shaking of the flames, it can be judged that there should be vents underneath.

The two brothers and sisters, one holding a candle and the other carrying a kerosene lamp, went down the steps.After going down, there is a space inside that is bigger than a room.

There is a ring of wooden shelves along the perimeter.There are wooden boxes on the shelves.He Xiaoxi walked over and opened the wooden boxes one by one.Some contained gold ingots, some contained silver ingots, and other jewelry objects.

The wealth accumulated by generations of the Lu family should be put here.

In the previous life, except for a few distributions to family members, most of these wealth were donated by Lu Yongjun.Build a bridge over the Qingquan River.

Except for the property donated by Lu Yongjun, the rest of the bridge construction funds were donated in the name of He Xiaoxi.The entanglement of two people's life ended with a bridge.

combined in another form.The names of the two people are inscribed on the head of the bridge in the form of inscriptions.It was mentioned together and praised for hundreds of years.

Therefore, when two people meet again in this life, and get together again, it is all destined by the power of the wish in the dark.

He Xiaoxi looked at the room full of belongings, and it was a bit false to say that she couldn't be moved, after all, she was extremely short of money now.But He Xiaoxi was rich and honored in his previous life.

The temptation of money to her is no longer that great.No matter how much money you spend, you can only sleep on a bed that is more than one meter long.After death, you can only sleep in a coffin that can accommodate one person.

He Xiaoxi, who has lived for a lifetime, has long been able to look down on all this.

Both siblings are experienced people.There is no coveting heart for these wealth.The two of them didn't plan to touch these things, they didn't belong to them.

The siblings carefully inspected the space in the secret room.On the top, there is a gap, which should be a skylight opened at the back.The fresh air in the secret room should come in through this skylight.

Around the secret room, there is a circle of water tanks.The water dripping from above flows out from this sink.It should have flowed into the lotus pond on the east side of the old house along the underground pipeline.

Both the skylight above and the sink below are blocked by iron grates.Prevent snakes, rats, insects and ants from entering by mistake.However, due to the passage of time, the iron grate has been severely corroded.

It hasn't been maintained for decades.If He Xiaoxi hadn't discovered the secret room, sooner or later this place would become a nest of snakes, rats, insects and ants.

He Xiaoxi measured the size of the iron grates, and planned to go to Uncle Song's house in a few days and ask Uncle Song to help make two more sets of iron grates according to the size.Replace the two that are rusty.

After doing all this well, He Xiaoxi and the others figured it was getting late, so they were ready to go out.

"Brother, let's go out and find a chance to move those furniture in. Besides, I'm moving some grain and cloth in for storage, just in case." He Xiaoxi said.

He Xiaoxi is going to turn this place into a temporary shelter.In case something happens, people can hide in without being discovered.

 Heiyu is promoting superstition. (=^▽^=) Criticize and educate her.
