Chapter 49: Discovery in the Cellar
Zhou Shujie touched the movable wall tile under his hand, and tried to move it, and when he moved it, it would make a grinding sound.
Slowly moving with your fingers, after a while, the wall tiles protrude little by little, and now you can take this brick off with just a pull of your hand.
Zhou Shujie straightened up and stood there thinking for a while,
The mother-in-law said that there was a treasure in the house, and gold and rice were found in the house.
This is the treasure that the mother-in-law sits in the yard every day and watches, is it behind this brick wall?
The gold and rice in the house made Zhou Shujie worry every day, for fear that someone would find out that now there is not one bag of rice to eat, and there are still five bags left, and it will be eaten slowly.
Gold is different, in this day and age, even if you take out the gold, no one will give you something to eat, it is too eye-catching to put at home, if you find a place to hide it, it will be easy to leave two pieces less.
Zhou Shujie lowered down from the new cat again, and tentatively pulled out this piece of wall brick slowly.
This wall tile is not the same as you usually see, the width and height are not bad, the difference is its length.
When the whole wall tile was pulled out, Zhou Shujie almost didn't hold it with one hand, and this wall tile was about 50 centimeters long.
Zhou Shujie had never seen such a long brick, so he put the wall tiles aside, picked up the kerosene lamp hanging aside, and shone it.
It was dark inside, and I couldn't see anything, but when Zhou Shujie moved the kerosene lamp, in the depths of the darkness, something seemed to reflect the light.
Zhou Shujie thought that she had seen it wrong, and moved back and forth with a kerosene lamp, and this time she saw clearly, there was indeed something reflecting like a mirror.
I can't see what the reflection is, but if you think about it, it must be a treasure.
Zhou Shujie put down the kerosene lamp and hurriedly climbed out of the vegetable cellar from the ladder. I went to the courtyard gate first, and when I arrived at the courtyard gate, I opened the door and carefully looked at no one nearby, so I closed the courtyard door from the new one, and inserted the fork inside the door tightly.
When I entered the house, I saw that the child was already asleep, and the mother-in-law was sitting by the window looking out, not knowing what she was looking at.
Zhou Shujie came to the bottom of the cabinet and took out all the things that were covered on it.
It took half an hour to get all the gold out of the chest.
He covered the chest a little more, and took a frame with gold under it and two old clothes on it.
It took Zhou Shujie a lot of effort to move this half of the gold to the vegetable cellar.
Zhou Shujie took out a gold brick and stuffed it with his hand along the gap in the wall tiles.
Halfway through the stuff, his arm was jammed, and Zhou Shujie climbed out of the vegetable cellar again, and found a half-meter-long forked stick outside.
This time the tool was chosen correctly, Zhou Shujie left two gold bricks, and the rest used this half-meter-long stick to throw the gold bricks into the gap where the wall tiles were pulled out, and listened to the sound of the gold bricks falling to the ground from the gap, probably because the wall was too thick, and the sound was not loud.
After stuffing the gold bricks, I pushed the extracted wall bricks into little by little as they were.
Restore this wall to its original appearance, and you will never see any difference between her and it just by looking at it?
Zhou Shujie knocked on the stick again, but he didn't hear anything, like the kind on TV, the empty voice came out, and Zhou Shujie was relieved.
Zhou Shujie put the remaining two gold bricks. Hidden under the wooden shelf where the cabbage was kept, she used it as a stepping foot on the legs of the wooden shelf, so that you could not see it even if you stood in front of it, unless you lay down and looked closely.
This time, Zhou Shujie really put his heart in his stomach, and he no longer had to be afraid that someone would find gold when he was not at home.
Zhou Shujie put the cabbage anew, carried the kerosene lamp out of the vegetable cellar, and covered the cellar door.
Zhou Shujie let out a sigh of relief, she felt that she had a very exciting time these days, first found rice and gold under the cabinet! Pack up old clothes! Find some stones! And some embroidery! Now if you want to store some cabbage, you can also find the secret door from the vegetable cellar.
Zhou Shujie felt that there were too many secrets in this courtyard, and now that he looks at anything, he feels that he may hide treasures. For example, is there a treasure chest buried under the sand fruit tree, or is there a dragon hidden in the well......
Alas...... What are you thinking?
Zhou Shujie patted his head, and felt that his head was not very sober now, and he was a little stimulated today.
After standing in the slightly cold courtyard for a while, Zhou Shujie slowly calmed down.
Looking up at this, I don't know when the sky will be cloudy, and I thought, "No matter how much jewelry and wealth we have now, it is useless for us now, I just need to eat and clothe and let the children grow up healthy, this is my original wish, and it is also my wish in the future!"
Zhou Shujie, who wanted to understand, was no longer surging and slowly returned to tranquility.
Zhou Shujie looked at the sky and said to himself, "It looks like it's going to snow, and the temperature should drop quickly as soon as the snow falls. ”
He brought the kerosene lamp that had been extinguished in his hand to the house.
Zhou Shujie went to the outside building, took two firewoods into the inner room, and put them in the hole in the fire wall.
I opened the cigarette plug and took two handfuls of bean stalks and filled them in the stove and lit them.
Although there was no smoke at the beginning, the bean pole didn't love it, and the more it was filled, the more prosperous it became.
Seeing that it was quite prosperous, Zhou Shujie filled a stove of firewood into it, and then left it alone and let it find it there by itself.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, Zhou Shujie hurriedly went to make a bite of food and ate it with her mother-in-law.
When he was about to sleep, he saw that the two firewoods on the ground had burned and there was nothing left, so Zhou Shujie went out and came back with two firewoods.
As soon as I entered the house, I said to my mother-in-law: "Mother, don't go to the yard when you get up tomorrow morning, now it's a little cold outside, and there will definitely be frost tonight." Mother, don't go to the yard early tomorrow to sit in the yard, or you will catch a cold. Zhou Shujie babbled a lot.
Zhou Shujie said a word, and her mother-in-law promised "yes" there, and Zhou Shujie almost didn't laugh out loud.
I don't know if my mother-in-law really understood, or if she habitually agreed.
This fire wall is really good, now the temperature in the house is about 20°C, and the firewood in the stove is gone.
Zhou Shujie didn't fill it in, but plugged the cigarette and inserted it tightly.
She was afraid that the temperature difference between the house and the outside would be too great, and it would be easy to catch a cold when she went back and forth, and it would not be good to infect her children.
Before going to bed, Zhou Shujie still thought that when she had time to go to the market again, buy a kettle and come back to sit on the stove, so that there would be hot water all day, and it would be more convenient to drink boiling water.
As soon as I said that I remembered that the brothers who sold kelp vegetables in the last market gave her those conches, she forgot to put them there, and she didn't take them out for the children to play with until now.
The house was warm like spring, but it was getting colder and colder outside, changing the original green of the world at night.
At this time, in the depths of Changbai Mountain, rows of silent and dark barracks were also covered by heavy snow, becoming the same color as heaven and earth.
It was so silent as if no one had ever lived.
