Han Kongque heard it, and Chen Jiayi and Cai Siming also heard it, and their bodies tensed up instantly.
Chen Jiayi said: "There is indeed the sound of walking."
"The sound of going down the stairs." Cai Siming said.
Han Peacock smiled: "It should be a mouse."
"Mouse?" Chen Jiayi and Cai Siming looked at Han Peacock at the same time.
Han Peacock said: "A big mouse has a mud ball formed on its tail. It seems that such things have been found in other places. I really didn't expect that there is actually a secret passage here."
"Did you discover the secret passage?" Chen Jiayi looked at Han Peacock. Isn't this too fast?
Han Kongque pointed to the staircase leading to the second floor and said: "This staircase is a duplex. What we see is the bright side, and in the wall, there is another staircase leading to the dark room above. It seems that this house
It is built according to the yin and yang pattern, and all rooms are one light and one dark, which is really interesting."
"That mouse is in the secret passage?" Chen Jiayi asked.
Han Peacock's senses could clearly detect the mouse. It was indeed moving in the secret passage, and it was not too small. It was as big as an adult cat. Such a big mouse was really rare.
Of course, Han Kongque didn't see it, but he could recognize that it was a mouse, mainly because of the way the thing behaved when Chen Jiayi spoke, shrinking and timid like a mouse, that's what it looked like.
"I found the secret passage, but I don't know where to enter it. But judging from the situation, it should be the same as the stairs outside. When this secret passage was built, it would definitely not be too troublesome." Han Peacock stood on the stairs.
Mouth. Look carefully at the outside wall.
Forget about the outside, this place has been renovated several times. If the wall exposed to the outside is the entrance to the secret passage, it may have been discovered long ago, and it is only under the stairs on the exposed side.
Han Kongque turned around and entered under the stairs. He could clearly see the passage below, but he didn't know how to open the door.
If there was a secret door in this old building, it would definitely not be easy to open. Otherwise, there would be no need to wait for them to come.
"Is the door over here?" Chen Jiayi asked.
Han Kongque pointed to a wall and said: "The passage behind this is, but it seems that it is not easy to open now."
"Otherwise, just destroy it directly." Chen Jiayi said.
Han Peacock squatted down and touched a place. After thinking for a moment, he stood up again and touched the stairs above.
"Here, there is actually a latch." Han Kongque looked at it with a smile. An iron rod was inserted horizontally on it. He grabbed an iron piece and attached it to the wall. When he turned it, the iron piece came away and fell directly.
Fall.
"Okay. You should be able to push it away now." Han Peacock looked at the wall.
"Push away?" Chen Jiayi stretched out his hands and pushed against the wall, but he did not push.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "Move fifty centimeters left and right, what you push is the central axis."
Chen Jiayi changed his position and pushed gently. The wall that was originally tight turned around in an instant. A portal appeared.
"Shall we go up and have a look?" Chen Jiayi said.
Han Kongque said: "Let's go up and have a look! However, there shouldn't be too many surprises."
"Yes, since it was renovated by others, such a darkroom should not be difficult to find. After all, the usable area is too small. When others buy it, they will definitely search for it. If there are good things, they will not keep them until now." Chen
There is not much greed in Chiayi.
Han Kongque and the three of them went in one after another. It was not dark inside. After all, it was only separated from our stairs by a wall.
Han Kongque looked at the situation inside. It must have been that no one had been there for many years, but it was not dirty and had no peculiar smell. It should have good ventilation facilities.
"There must be reflective facilities here, otherwise there would be no light inside." Chen Jiayi looked at the stairs at his feet.
Han Kongque said: "There is a kaleidoscope-like design on it, so it doesn't look dark here."
"Do you think that woman was hiding here this morning?" Chen Jiayi said suddenly.
Han Kongque said: "Probably not. If she were here, that big mouse wouldn't be so arrogant."
Han Peacock could sense that the big mouse was strolling in a darkroom on the second floor. It looked very relaxed, as if it was spreading.
When you get to the second floor, you enter a room. This room is in a corner on the east side. The lighting here is better, so although it is a dark room, it is extremely bright.
The situation outside can be clearly seen from here through a few small holes.
Looking at the empty room, Chen Jiayi said: "Why make the house so complicated?"
Han Kongque said: "It was not peaceful here back then, so it was normal to build a darkroom at home."
"This was built by the French. Are they still afraid of being robbed?" Chen Jiayi said.
Cai Siming said at this time: "Maybe it is used for smuggling. Not far from here, there is a small dock. This should have been a large warehouse before it was developed into a concession."
Han Kongque said: "That's probably the case. What was smuggled back then was either drugs or arms. Foreigners don't want to expose such things openly."
I walked around this five-story building a few times. There are darkrooms on each floor. However, these darkrooms are well designed and have reasonable lighting. Even if they are hidden in the dark, there is no darkness inside. The most important thing is
What's strange is that all these rooms are empty.
"I thought I could find something good, but I didn't expect it was an empty house." Chen Jiayi said a little disappointed when he walked out of the villa.
Han Peacock looked at the surrounding situation. He saw that the area of more than ten acres was definitely not small. Most of the trees planted in this area were fruit trees, among which peaches were the majority. And among the peach trees, there were all grape vines.
Among the dense fruit trees, Han Peacock saw a flash of gray shadow.
"Hare?" Chen Jiayi looked over there.
Cai Siming said: "I really didn't expect that there are still rabbits living here."
Han Kongque said: "In the past ten years, this villa has been empty, and the vegetation here is lush, so it is not surprising that there are some wild animals living there."
"It's noon, why not catch a rabbit and roast it?" Chen Jiayi said with a smile.
Han Kongque said: "You won't leave? This is someone else's house. Isn't it too much for us to do this?"
Chen Jiayi said: "I'll leave if you leave. If you don't leave, I won't leave either. And I've already said hello to the nearby police station. They know I'm here."
"You are well prepared." Han Kongque looked at Chen Jiayi and said.
Chen Jiayi said: "If there are good things in such an old building, I must have a share."
Han Peacock said: "Where do so many good things come from?"
"It depends on your ability. Anyway, I will follow you. You eat meat and I drink soup. You can't not let me get any benefits. I know now that the weirder the place, the better it is.
Since this ghost place can be valued by that ghost woman, she certainly has her reasons." Chen Jiayi said.
Han Peacock smiled: "I didn't expect you to become smarter."
"Tell me what are you waiting for?" Chen Jiayi looked at Han Kongque curiously and asked.
Han Peacock said: "I'm waiting for that mouse to come down to find food. You know that mouse comes downstairs every day. I want to see what it does for a living these years."
"There should be enough for it to live here, right?" Chen Jiayi said.
Han Peacock said: "You also said that no one has lived here for more than ten years. Without anyone living here, there is naturally no food here. Can these fruits alone be enough for that mouse to eat and drink all year round?"
There is another point that Han Peacock didn’t mention. A mouse can take a leisurely walk and bask in the sun on a building. This is too evil. Even if there are no other problems here, such a evil mouse is still worth Han Peacock’s action. Okay
Right! He actually fell in love with that mouse.
Of course, it would be better if you follow the mouse and get some other gains.
The reason why Han Peacock thought there were other benefits was just because the mouse looked so unusual.
Because ordinary mice don't have as much chance of growing into cats, but this mouse did.
Han Peacock wanted to know why this mouse grew so big.
Han Kongque saw that Chen Jiayi was staying here and refused to leave, so there was nothing he could do.
He found a place near the mouse upstairs and said, "Let's go get some things and have a picnic here."
"I'll catch the rabbit. If I catch it, I'll roast the rabbit and eat it." Chen Jiayi said.
"Can you catch a rabbit?" Han Peacock knew that rabbits are very agile, and ordinary people really can't catch them.
Just look at mine. After a while, Chen Jiayi brought a piece of steel wire, made a loop, and walked into the woods.
After just a moment, he walked out, and Han Kongque and Cai Siming also took advantage of this time to go to the car and get a full set of picnic tools.
Korean Peacock's raptors always have these things on hand, but they don't need to be used at ordinary times.
"You two come here to help." Chen Jiayi walked out of the woods and said.
"What can I help you with?" Han Kongque asked.
Chen Jiayi said: "You have to wait, we don't know when the rabbit will fall into the trap. Come over there and scare the snake, so the rabbit may fall into the trap immediately."
Seeing Han Kongque busy, Cai Siming said: "I'll go!"
"Okay, I'll prepare some seafood so you can try my cooking." Han Kongque said.
There was a lot of seafood in his Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, which he couldn't eat normally, but now was an opportunity.
Han Kongque didn't go too far. He just took out some oysters and planned to make soup.
He picked some wild vegetables not far away. These wild vegetables he often ate when he was a child, but here, perhaps because the temperature is relatively high, a lot of them have grown in the grass. The Korean peacocks were also happy to hunt, so they got some to match the sea.
Make soup from oysters.
Han Peacock had just picked a lot of wild vegetables when he heard Chen Jiayi's cheers. It seemed that he had caught the unlucky rabbit.
