[Thanks for the reward: 10,000 for the present and the past, 10,000 for Qiantang Jun]
Judging from the drawings, this old courtyard should be a large, open area.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of garden should be full of flowers and plants, with fountains, pavilions, bridges, etc.
However, what I saw in front of me was not such a beautiful scene...
When they emerged from the ground, they discovered that a square wall had been built in the middle of the old courtyard, surrounding the central area.
In other words, there is another courtyard within a courtyard in the middle of this courtyard, but what is enclosed within the wall is completely unclear.
They turned on their night vision goggles and took a rough look at the wall.
It was a very ordinary large fence made of old bricks.
The firing of old bricks in the past was somewhat different from today's, and the size of the bricks was slightly larger than the common bricks now. Therefore, this square wall should have been built before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The strange thing is that this wall has no door.
There is no place to enter, no windows, no passages, not even a gap~~
In other words, when this place was built, there was no preparation to let people in or let people inside out.
The surface of the wall is completely sealed with mud, and it looks like a large square, completely enclosed space.
This kind of thing is very strange in this kind of courtyard. It has no meaning and has no storage function. It is very strange to stand here.
And from a distance, they could feel an eerie feeling, as if something terrible was hidden inside, staring at them from behind the wall.
Fat Wei patted Chen Zhi to tell him to stop looking, and then pointed to the upstairs next to him, his thoughts were very obvious.
At this time, there is no time to study those things.
What they have to do now is to climb to the third floor to see if there is really anyone hiding there?
Otherwise, this trip will be in vain...
Fat Wei had made preparations before. For a person who has been through high mountains and harsh waters, a building of such a height would not be something he would care about.
He tied the iron claws to the rope, shook it a few times and threw it out, and firmly grasped it on the wall of the third floor.
After pulling it to make sure it was fixed, I climbed up very flexibly.
Chen Zhi also grabbed the rope, put his feet on the wall, and the two began to climb up quickly.
Buildings of this height require little effort for them, and there are many points on the building to help them move up.
So they quickly climbed to the third floor and climbed to the large balcony on the third floor.
From here, the curtains inside the window are still closed, and it's so dark inside that you can't see anything.
But fortunately, the door on the balcony is not locked and can be pushed open.
Fat Wei bent down, held the door handle with one hand, took out a piece of cloth with the other hand, and placed it at the crack of the door.
This was the trick of the gentlemen in ancient times. They could quietly enter the house and take away the gold and silver without letting the door make any sound~~
Fat Wei followed this method and gently pushed in. As expected, the door opened without making any sound.
After opening the curtains, a very exquisite and decent small bedroom was displayed in front of them?
This house is a very common Chinese and Western square building. After entering the balcony, there is a small hall, and the front is along the guest room.
The innermost part of the bedroom is the corridor. Walking along the corridor, you can enter all the rooms on the third floor.
Chen Zhi and Fat Wei then jumped into the corridor, keeping their footsteps very soft and tiptoeing along the edge of the room and walking inside.
The decoration here is really exquisite, all in typical Chinese style.
All the decorations are made of solid wood. The wood is very high-grade and the carvings are exquisite. The furniture placed are all antiques from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There is everything from golden nanmu to mahogany here, all of which are priceless.
You can see large and small statues of Confucius everywhere, and there are old calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. They are all handmade by everyone, and any one of them is worth a lot of money.
On each Xuan Pavilion, there are literati paper fans, gold and jade Ruyi, and antique bottles and vessels. Each piece is beautiful but not vulgar, and has an ancient style, which is an authentic Confucian style.
They had done a rough positioning before, and generally the three-story layout of this kind of building is the same.
According to the internal structure of the second floor, two rooms further forward, it should be the largest master bedroom here.
Judging from the child's usual trajectory, he should live near that bedroom.
And if there is anyone else in this place, it must be in the master bedroom.
They walked along the corridor to the deepest point and finally found the master bedroom.
The door of the master bedroom is made of wood, with patterns of Confucius' wanderings carved on it. It seems that a lot of effort was put into building this place. It doesn't look like a resort, but more like a retirement home for someone.
As soon as I approached the door of the master bedroom, I smelled a very strong smell of ointment, which was a common rheumatism ointment for the elderly.
The door to the bedroom was still unlocked. Fat Wei used the same method as before to put a piece of cloth in the middle of the door, and then gently pushed it in.
This kind of solid wood door with good quality actually makes a very soft sound. Just like that, they push the door open and then lock it gently.
Then he quickly entered the master bedroom.
After entering this space, Chen Zhi was absolutely sure that there was indeed someone here, and it should be an old man who was nearly seventy years old.
Because the smell of the rheumatism ointment in the master bedroom was even stronger, it seemed that the old man had serious rheumatism, and there was a thin sound of breathing coming from behind the screen in front.
That’s a common respiratory rate for older people…
And when they just approached the screen, they immediately heard a trembling voice coming from inside,
"Who is it?
Xiaoren?"
The voice was very old, it sounded very vicissitudes of life, it was that of an extremely old man.
Chen Zhi looked forward and saw a large bed vaguely behind the screen, and the figure of an old man had already sat up from the bed.
Fat Wei reacted extremely keenly to this kind of thing. At this time, his fat body moved as lightly as a swallow, twisting his big butt forward and turning behind the screen.
To the old man behind him, he shouted sharply:
"Don't make a sound!!
At your age, you should understand that if you don’t know the truth at this time, you will suffer big losses!!”
The elderly man inside was obviously frightened, and his body was stiff and he did not dare to speak.
Chen Zhi also went around and saw that there was indeed a big wooden bed behind.
Sitting on the bed was an extremely old man. The old man's hair was almost all gone, his teeth were missing, and his eyes were cloudy. He looked at Fat Wei in horror:
"You..., who are you?
Children, what do you want to do when you come in?"
When Chen Zhi saw the old man's face, he was secretly surprised.
Then he took a step forward, looked closely at the old face, and then asked softly:
