Chapter 20: Sweeping the Building
"Changying, your body has not healed, it is better to move less." Yunxin strode forward and grabbed Chao Rong's arm to prevent her from moving forward.
Chao Rong was pulled and had to stop his steps and looked back at Yunxin: "If you don't feel at ease, come with me." ”
Yunxin was quite helpless, so he could only let go of his hand and followed Chao Rong into the warehouse.
The barn smells of stale wood, and the dust flutters in the sunlight that shines through the window paper. The layout of the room is not much different from what Mu Changying remembers, several cabinets and shelves are neatly placed everywhere, the cabinet doors are not locked, only tightly closed, and the shelves are full of bottles and cans.
Chao Rong walked around the room, pausing in an empty corner, her expression changed slightly, and her eyes looked at Yunxin a little strangely.
"Changying, what's wrong?" Yun Xin's eyes were puzzled.
"......" Chao Rong was silent, his heart was extremely entangled, weighing whether to speak.
Can she say that the floor under her feet is hollow? Can you say that there might be a basement underneath this room? This may be a private place for their family to hide things, she doesn't know if she can tell Yunxin, Mu Changying's memory can't give her an answer.
Yun Xin saw that she didn't speak, thinking that she was not feeling well, so he stepped forward quickly, and naturally stepped on the floor where Chao Rong was, and the sound of the air under his feet made him stunned.
Sensing something strange under his feet, Yun Xin instantly understood why Chao Rong suddenly became strange, and he tentatively spoke: "Long tassel ......"
"Yunxin, what do you think is down there?" Chao Rong simply asked him bluntly.
"Maybe it's a cellar, most people in the village have it." Yunxin said.
"Oh......" Chao Rong narrowed his eyes, his curiosity was restless, and when he looked up at Yunxin again, his eyes were bright, "Yunxin, I want to go down and have a look." ”
"Nope." Yunxin even refused to look gentle, "Changying, let's go back, Aunt Yun should look for you later." ”
"I'll go down and take a look." Chao Rong made up his mind to do something, and the eight horses couldn't pull it back, let alone Yun Xin's gentle persuasion. She pulled Yunxin back a few steps and then knelt down on one knee, touched a groove on the floor with one hand, her face was slightly happy, and her fingers clasped and lifted up hard, pulling up a piece of wooden floor.
The wooden planks were installed on the ground like a small door, and when they were opened by Chao Rong, a black hole was revealed, and a smell of earth greeted them. Chao Rong turned his head away, and pushed the cellar door open under Yun Xin's complicated gaze, and the wooden plank smashed on the ground with a muffled sound.
In order to avoid moisture, almost all the houses in the bamboo courtyard are built on wooden platforms, three feet above the ground. It is supposed that there should be grass under the floor, but under the cellar door is a long hole, the diameter of the hole is about one meter, the soil of the cave wall is dry, and the steps extend down from the near hole, and the bottom can be seen by light, and the bottom of the hole is not less than three meters to the ground.
"Long tassels, dangerous." Yun Xin saw her leaning out to observe the hole, and couldn't help but remind her, and grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back.
"I know." Chao Rong was forced to withdraw his gaze and struggled to get up from the ground.
However, before Chao Rong could stand firmly, she suddenly felt dizzy, the scene in front of her was blurred in an instant, and the whole person rushed forward, and there was a hole in the ground at her feet.
Yun Xin, who had never left Chaorong, was shocked that something was wrong, and at the last moment, he grabbed the right arm of the person in front of him with his left hand, and took her back, successfully getting out of danger.
Chao Rong was pulled by Yunxin, and in a panic, he reached out to grab something to stabilize his body, but he ripped off a certain belt......
