Chapter 178: White Plum
Finding the air outlet, Granny Hua can roughly judge the location of the secret room, but to her surprise, there is not only one secret room in this house!
There is a secret chamber underground, and there is a wall and a sandwich wall.
In addition to this, there was a cellar in the courtyard, which was covered with a stone slab, and the stone slab was paved with green bricks.
The cellar is easy to find, but the mechanism to enter the two chambers is not to be found.
Granny Hua began to touch here and there again, and she was so busy with her adventures that she forgot about dinner.
Da'an cooked a pot of porridge, put rice, cut the meat into pieces, cut a cabbage, three large radish, and put a dozen eggs in it.
"Brother Da An, you cook porridge like you're cooking pig food." Peanut said.
Da An snorted coldly and said unhappily: "Are there eggs in the pig food?" Is there pork? ”
It seems that there is no, Peanut feels that he has wronged Brother Da An, so he will eat a few more bowls later, to cheer up Brother Da An, in case Granny Hua doesn't want to cook tomorrow, and Brother Da An doesn't cook, then he will not be hungry.
The world is big, and the food is the biggest.
The pot was boiled, and Peanut went into the house to call Granny Hua out to eat, but when she entered the house, it was empty, and Granny Hua was not in the house.
Peanut went to Wang An's house again, no one, he went to the wing room again, there was no one, entered the stove, the flowers were helping Da'an serve porridge, Peanut hurriedly asked, "Have you seen your mother-in-law?" ”
The two shook their heads, didn't the mother-in-law knock and beat in the house?
"Mother-in-law is gone!" Peanut was so anxious that he was about to cry, he was his mother-in-law's little bodyguard, but his mother-in-law disappeared under his nose.
Da'an was also taken aback, but after all, he was not a child like Peanut who had never seen the world, he quickly calmed down, just now he was cooking porridge in the stove, Peanuts and Flowers were watching him cook porridge, if someone came in from outside, the door and window of the stove were all open, if someone came in at this time, whether it was over the wall or the front door, it was impossible for the three of them to be unaware.
So, Granny Hua is still in this yard.
Daan understood, and said to the peanuts and flowers; "You two eat first, and I'll go inside and have a look."
When Da'an entered the house, Granny Hua was coming out of the secret room, Da'an was stunned, Granny Hua nodded, and Da'an understood.
The two of them continued to rummage in the house together, and it took about half a stick of incense to find another mechanism, which was very exquisite, if it weren't for the fact that Granny Hua had seen a similar one in Yunmengguan, she wouldn't have found it for a while.
Da'an was not at ease, so he rushed in first, there were no hidden arrows and no poisonous smoke, so he was relieved to let Granny Hua in.
Granny Hua said in a low voice: "There are a few large vats in the other one, and the vats are full of rice grain, but they can't be asked for anymore." ”
And now in this secret room, it is completely different from the previous one, there is a bed here, not a bed, there are two beds, one large and one small, plus a cradle!
There is also a wave drum in the cradle, and on both sides of the wave drum, a girl holding a flower is depicted.
"It's a girl sleeping in the cradle." Granny Hua said.
Daan was afraid of disturbing her, so he didn't dare to ask.
Granny Hua replied herself: "Most of the wave drums I have seen are painted boys, only this one, it is a girl, I think it is specially found by the parents, if their child is a boy, there is no need to buy a female doll's wave drum, this kind of picture is not rare, it is not easy to buy on the market." ”
I see, Daan understood.
There were still bedding on both beds, along with the cradle, but they were messy, and it was clear that the people who lived in this secret room had left in a hurry.
Granny Hua found a few green strands on the big bed, which were very long and soft, like a woman's hair.
In addition to this, there was a cage in the house, the cage was unlocked, and when opened, there were several pieces of clothing inside, men and women, adults and children, and there was nothing else that could prove the identity of the owner.
"Mother-in-law, I found this!" Daan said excitedly.
This is a Kong Ming lock, which was found under the bed of the cot.
Granny Hua took the Kong Ming lock, she opened the cage again, and pulled out a child's clothes, lake blue, worn by boys.
Granny Hua shook off her clothes and asked Da'an, "What age is this what child wears?" ”
She doesn't know much about children, and the little cub shouldn't be able to wear it.
"Three-year-old? Four-year-old? She estimated it based on the height of the little cub, who was a little over five years old when he was first found, and inferred that the owner of the clothes should be three or four years old.
She doesn't understand, Da'an doesn't understand it even more, coincidentally, he also compares Xiao Wancub, the two have the same conclusion, in addition to the little girl who is still in the cradle, there is also a three or four-year-old boy.
Granny Hua shook off the clothes of the adults in the cage one by one: "Young men, literati, scholars, well-dressed, and embroidered patterns on the sleeves of their robes. A young woman, in her twenties, likes plain colors, hey, she likes white plums very much, and she embroiders white plums on every dress...... White plum? ”
Granny Hua's mouth couldn't be closed, so she took out all the clothes embroidered with white plums and spread them on the bed.
Daan was also stunned.
Because he is a man, and Yunmengguan lives in Kundao, in order to avoid suspicion, he will go up the mountain less often when he grows up, but even so, he also knows some things.
For example, the white plum tree in front of Bai's tomb.
The Bai family moved the grave, and the white plum also moved from Yunmeng Mountain to Wan County.
Could it be that the White Lady lives here?
Although Da'an was curious, he didn't dare to ask, this house belonged to the second old lady Mingluan, so the young man who lived in this secret room was probably Mingluan.
And the Bai family, that is the continuation of Old Lady Ming, Mingluan's sister-in-law!
These two uncles and sisters-in-law, could it be......
Da'an didn't dare to think about it, it was too scary, if his father and his mother knew that he wanted to do wrong, they would definitely kill him.
Granny Hua seemed to see his thoughts, half comforting him, half comforting herself: "In this world, my mother is not the only one who likes white plum blossoms, my master also likes it, I used to be simple and accustomed to the view, but I didn't pay attention to it, where the master and Cui Niangzi lived, in winter will be replaced with a cotton curtain embroidered with white plums, I used to only think it was in response to the solar terms, but now ...... the white plum on the curtain, and the ...... on the garment From the same person, even if it's not the same person, it's the same trick. ”
"Huh?" Daan thought he had heard it wrong, yes, it must be.
"I mean, the white plum on this garment is exactly the same as the one on the cotton curtain."
