Chapter 72: Wealth

Heiya let the secret room slowly ventilate, pulled Xiaoya out of the study, and turned around to hang the lock. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Sister, don't you go down to watch?" Xiaoya asked strangely.

"We'll go down later, we can't wait here." The black girl touched the little girl's head, "You go to the kitchen to borrow a fire fold." ā€

Seeing the little girl running away, the black girl walked slowly along the yard, if she stayed in the study, in case she was seen by the flower seller, how should she explain? I don't want to tell anyone about the secret room yet, but I don't want to lie, so I can only reduce the chance of being discovered.

It's likely that it will be an empty house after going down, but before going down to take a look, Heiya wants to hide it from the others first.

After a while, Xiaoya came back with a fire fold.

"Grandma asked me what I was doing with the fire fold, and I said that I would bake it with you. She said let me finish the roast and remember to put out the fire. The little girl said on her track.

"Well done, what a clever little ghost."

In the summer, the monkey is a good thing, go to the woods in the evening, can grasp a few bowls at a time, catch the monkey to wash the mud, and then soak it in salt water for a night, the next day put it in the oil to cook, the fragrant is very fragrant.

If you wait until you know that the monkey has shed its shell, you can't eat it like that, and only the meat with the big fingernail on the front can be eaten.

Roasting the caught meat over a fire, and then digging out the piece of meat is a rare delicacy for children in mountain villages.

This summer, Xiaoya didn't catch it less, but Heiya was getting older in her heart, and she didn't want to eat any more after only eating a few, and most of the rest was filled into Xiaoya's stomach.

Estimating that the air in the secret room was almost gone, the black girl returned to the study, tore off a small piece of cloth from her clothes, lit it and threw it into the secret room.

Seeing that the cloth was still burning after being thrown in, the black girl was a little relieved, and threw a few more stones into it, seeing that there was indeed no movement, and then groped and walked down slowly.

As I walked, I silently counted the steps, and after walking about thirty-eight steps, I finally reached the bottom.

Heiya took out the fire fold and hit it, the faint light couldn't shine too far, she could only move slowly along the root of the wall.

There was no stale smell in the secret room, and it was very dry, indicating that there should be a vent underneath, but the visibility was too low, and she could only see the ground around her one meter.

After groping for a while, a shelf appeared in front of her, and the black girl took two quick steps and stepped forward.

I saw large and small boxes on the shelves, opened a few and looked at them, three of them were empty, one of the two contained a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets, and one contained an ancient book.

Heiya hurriedly glanced at it and put it down, since there is something, it means that the Bai family in this secret room does not know, but they don't know which owner left these behind.

Didn't care about the boxes on the shelves, Heiya continued to walk forward, on the innermost row of the ground against the wall, there were five half-human-high boxes, all of which were not locked, Heiya opened it and looked, and there were rows of silver ingots in the first box.

There is no need to look any further, this house must be bought.

Heiya thought to herself, feeling that the whole secret room was filled with her pounding heartbeat, and she couldn't help but be excited when she saw so much money. After taking a few deep breaths, he returned to the staircase the same way.

"Sister, are you coming up soon?" The little girl lay at the mouth of the secret room and shouted.

"Don't worry, I'll go up now." The black girl answered, stepped on the stairs and returned to the study.

"Sister, what's down there?" The little girl tilted her head and asked.

"I couldn't see far in the dark, so I walked a few steps and came up. When we bought the house, we lit the lamp and went down to see it. The black girl said with a smile.

It's not that she deliberately deceives people, it's mainly that Xiaoya is young, and it will be troublesome if she accidentally says something wrong.

"Okay, let's go down together then." Xiaoya nodded, and thought for a while, "Let's call the eldest brother too." ā€

"Hmm." The black girl answered, put the plank back in its place, turned the unicorn back, looked at the ash on her hand, and simply wiped it elsewhere, and there were handprints everywhere, and the handprints on the unicorn and the wooden board below were not so obvious.

Xiaoya saw that it was funny, and she wiped it everywhere, giggling, and then the sisters became little cats.

When I got out of the study door and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside, Heiya's heart that had been beating wildly slowly calmed down, and when she remembered the things in the secret room just now, she felt like she had a dream.

He and Xiaoya went to other rooms to take a turn, and the furniture in the room was plastered a few handfuls of dust, and then they went to the lake together to wash their hands and faces, and patted the dust on their clothes.

It still looks a little awkward, but it's much better than it was before.

Back to the small courtyard where the two old people lived, the flower seller grandmother was squatting by the well to wash clothes, and the flower planting grandfather was leaning on the bed in the room, and when he saw the two coming in, he covered his mouth a little nervously.

The black girl glanced at the jar next to the bed, "You are only a little better from heat stroke, how can you eat such a greasy thing." ā€

The jar contained the honey pork ribs that the black girl brought.

Seeing that Heiya knew, Grandpa Planter simply chewed a few times, spit out the bones and threw them outside through the window. "On such a hot day, if you don't eat it, it will be bad."

"Then you eat less, otherwise Grandma Sell Flowers will talk about you."

"What did I say?" The flower seller heard it outside, wiped the water on her hands, "What is the old man doing again?" ā€

"Ahem, you let him tell you by himself, and Xiaoya and I will go back first." Heiya squeezed her eyes at Grandpa Chonghua, "Grandma, remember to help me ask about the house, we really want to buy it." ā€

"Hey, I know, don't worry, I'll tell him when the steward comes." The flower seller sent them to the door, "Come and play when it's okay." ā€

"That...... Selling flowers granny. Heiya said a little embarrassed, "Just now I played hide and seek with Xiaoya, and I went into the courtyard room, and there was some ash in it, and we made all the bells and whistles." ā€

"It's okay, the house is going to be sold anyway, and we won't be the descendants of the Bai family in the future, he won't say anything." The flower seller said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go first." The black girl waved her hand and pulled the little girl home.

She had to hurry back to discuss with her uncle and aunt about buying a house, if she really bought Baifu, think about the many boxes in the secret room that had not been opened, and a whole box of silver ingots.

That's a lot of money!

Thinking of so much silver, Heiya's heart was hot, with this money, she could live this life lying down every day!

When I got home, my brothers had already returned, and Heiya took the opportunity to mention that Baifu was going to sell.

Xiaoshan had been to them before, so he naturally knew that the house was indeed very good.

My uncle and two cousins had been there before, and although they had only seen part of the house, they probably understood what it was like.

"The house is good, but the price is too expensive, there are only a few of us in total, we really bought it, and one person and one room are not satisfied." My uncle was still a little reluctant to pay, but he mainly felt that there were few people in the family and there was no need to buy such a big house.
