Some of them are built more neatly, and they have built a courtyard wall, and some are built like a small rich house, although the earth wall is the main structure, but there are bricks and tiles, and even some hollow bricks are inlaid on the courtyard wall.

However, because it has been abandoned for hundreds of years, whether it was lived by the poor or the rich, it is now a ruin, empty as death, and there is not even a single bird.

Because no one knows which one is the Yuan Family House, or that the Yuan Family House has been buried by the mudslide, the only way now is to look for some clues in these surviving houses to see if they can get something.

The people scattered and approached the houses to see if they could find anything.

Zhao Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly, walked into a courtyard, and recalled in his mind the pictures he saw on the funeral goods, hoping to combine them with this realistic scene.

There were three rooms in the courtyard, the roofs were long gone, and the dilapidated walls, broken furniture, and dust that could not melt away were everything.

Obviously, after the mudslide, the surviving villagers took everything they could take with their homes and came to the valley outside the mountain to rebuild the village, and because the mountain road was also buried, there were very few people who really knew about this place for a hundred years, and even if they saw it, they would not care much about this ruin, but no one would have expected that there might be a treasure buried in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Zhao Zhuo walked around the courtyard, and did not find anything close to the impression, so he walked into another courtyard, the only thing he could be sure of was that the Yuan family's house was still quite magnificent, because judging from the layout of the study, the study was not small.

However, because this place has been abandoned for so long, the house has long been unrecognizable, and I don't know which one in the courtyard is a study and which one is a bedroom, and occasionally some furniture is damaged.

is different from Zhao Zhuo's way of searching, because there is nowhere to start, so Ji Yuan and the others are carefully cleaning things in every room, and even squatting down to throw away the bricks and tiles to see if they can find discarded books and the like, as long as they encounter something with words, it will be much easier.

Zhao Zhuo walked through several rooms in a row, and when he came to another courtyard, he couldn't help but feel slightly stunned, and he actually had a feeling of déjà vu.

Although this courtyard does not correspond to the Yuan family mansion that I have seen in my impression, the human brain is so strange that it can subconsciously fit the two that even humans themselves can't distinguish for a while, which may be people's intuition.

Under the guidance of intuition, Zhao Zhuo slowly walked into the courtyard, with each step, this sense of déjà vu deepened, he stood in the east corner of the courtyard, looking at the stone mountain opposite, and the scene of Yuan De holding jade playing with jade appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth gradually hooked a smile.

Looking at the past from this angle, the stone mountain is exactly the same as the stone mountain in the scene, and based on this alone, Zhao Zhuo is sure that this courtyard is the Yuan family's mansion!

However, after discovering the Yuan family's mansion, evidence was necessary to notify Ji Yuan and the others, so he called Mo Ling together and searched the ruins for a while, but the mansion had obviously been cleaned up before the Yuan family left, not to mention the books, not even half a piece of paper.

Zhao Zhuo had to give up looking for book evidence, thinking about the red cross mark marked on the sheepskin map, so he identified the direction for a while, and then came to the backyard of the house, the backyard of the house was overgrown with weeds, because of the human intrusion, a hare panicked out, and soon disappeared.

Behind the Yuan family's house was a mountain of stones, and behind the backyard was a ditch with a fence on top, apparently to prevent wild beasts from invading.

There is a clearing behind it, which is also overgrown with weeds, and it looks inconspicuous, because there is an open space in the backyard of every house, which was used to grow vegetables or build a pigsty in those days.

Although I don't know how much gold and silver treasure Shi Dakai brought back then, however, as one of the five kings, his subordinates have to feed such a large army, this amount must be amazing, and buried here, if you want to use it later, then it is not a minority, so if this red cross indicates the place of hidden treasure, then it must be a huge cellar.

If it's a cellar, it's much easier to find.

Zhao Zhuo walked among the weeds, every step he took, he slammed it the ground, and every time he stepped on it, the solid ground made a dull vibration sound, and when he came to a corner, the sound made by this foot was a little different, as if the vibration sound was transmitted and stopped abruptly.

Zhao Zhuo suddenly showed surprise on his face, he thought about it, ran to the yard to find an iron rod, and then poked it down here, and when he poked it half a meter into the ground, he felt that he had hit a hard object, he poked it a few times in different places in a row, and also hit the thing, so he immediately shouted: "Grandpa Ji, I have found it!" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately became alarmed, and hurriedly rushed over from all directions, Cui Shiyan asked urgently, "What did you find?" ”

Zhao Zhuo handed the iron rod in his hand to him and said, "Senior brother, you poke it down here." ”

Cui Shiyan picked up the iron rod and poked it hard, his eyes lit up, and then he poked around again, and said happily: "There seems to be a brick down here, and it's still a piece!" ”

Ji Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed: "It seems that it is very likely to be a cellar." ”

Cui Shiyan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "It's still smart for my junior brother, I know that this place may be at the back of the house, and I will know the place by stabbing it a few times with an iron rod." ”

Zhao Zhuo said: "I just hit the luck, and it may not be this one, but while the sun hasn't set yet, let's dig it first." ”

Everyone immediately agreed, although it was getting late, but the thought that there was very likely to be a treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom hidden in this cellar, everyone's heart was beating wildly, who could press this doubt until tomorrow?

So, everyone went to look for digging tools, and after a while, they found a broken shovel, and Zhao Zhuo said: "There is only one, let me dig it." ”

Ji Xiaofan said eagerly on the side: "Brother Zhao, then I will come after you are tired." ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled, picked up the shovel and began to dig up the soil, this digging does not matter, but everyone was stunned, no one knew whether Zhao Zhuo's strength was too big, or the soil here was too loose, a shovel down, Zhao Zhuo was effortless at all.

As the mound of earth increased rapidly, a pit half a meter deep was dug out without much effort, and at this time, a piece of bricks appeared under the pit, which was flat and neat, obviously not built at random.

Digging behind the bricks, a wooden plank soon appeared, and there was an iron ring on the board, and the surrounding bricks extended under the surrounding land, obviously more than just a palm-sized place.

Zhao Zhuo threw the shovel, he didn't even sweat on his body after digging for so long, he pulled the iron ring, and the entrance to the cellar was exposed.

Under the cellar is a wooden ladder, holding the flashlight handed by Cui Shiyan, and looking into the cellar, I saw that the cellar seemed to be quite large, and there were many bags of hemp piled up inside.

Cui Shiyan was also very clear on the side, swallowed his saliva and said, "Senior brother, let's go down and take a look." ”

Zhao Zhuo nodded, climbed down the wooden ladder, fell to the ground, picked up the flashlight and swept it, and found that this cellar was quite large, no smaller than the courtyard of the Yuan family's big house, and it was repaired quite steadily, and the houses on the ground were so badly damaged, but the underground was not affected at all.

Everyone else also walked down one after another, Cui Shiyan couldn't wait to open a hemp bag, and suddenly smelled a strong musty smell, looked at it again, and said dumbly: "This is ...... Rice? ”

Ji Yuan and the others also opened the bags around them at this time, and found that they were indeed bags of rice, because after so many years, these rice grains had already become moldy and rotten.

Ji Xiaofan was suddenly disappointed and said: "It turned out to be just a cellar for ordinary people to store grain." ”

"No, it's not an ordinary cellar, you see, there's iron." Zhao Zhuo said after opening a wooden box on the west side.

Everyone rushed over to take a look and found that there were all kinds of knives and forks in the wooden box, Ji Yuan suddenly understood, not disappointed, but laughed and said: "This is really the Yuan family's mansion, Yuan De was ordered to guard here, in addition to guarding the treasure, he also has the mission of collecting all kinds of military materials, these grains, grasses, and iron tools are stored by him in case of emergency." ”

Everyone nodded again and again, but Ji Xiaofan scratched his head and said: "If this is really the Yuan family's mansion, then the parchment left by Yuan De is not recorded in this cellar?" Isn't the treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom even more clueless? ”

Zhao Zhuo thought slightly: "Although Yuande has a secret mission, he can't reveal the secret of the treasure to outsiders. However, I am afraid that he will also be annoyed by this secret for the rest of his life, and perhaps he has also heard the news of the killing of the Wing King, and he is even more desperate. Out of loyalty, he could not tell the secret to anyone else, but he did not know what to do with the treasure, and the only thing he could do was to tell it out, so he left this parchment, since this map leads us here, then there must be a clue to find the treasure! ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and they felt that Zhao Zhuo's analysis was quite correct, as if they knew Yuande.

It's just that no one knows that Zhao Zhuo's analysis is not groundless, and after watching so many clips of the past that Duode has poured his heart and soul into, he understands Yuande's distress back then.
