Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Lu Aiguo drove to the bank and quickly handed over 5000 yuan to Professor Jin.

After the money is counted, both parties sign the contract.

"We will handle the transfer on Monday!" Professor Jin said softly.

Song Xiuxiu: "Professor Jin, we are not in a hurry. Let's wait until your body is healed before we do it!"

Professor Jin said with a smile: "I'm not papery. This cold is already fine."

"Besides, the sooner it's done, the sooner I'll be relieved!"

"I've lived here since I was born. Later, my family disappeared, so I just kept it by myself. To be honest, I've long been tired of it."

"Professor Jin, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not!" Song Xiuxiu has been thinking about this question since just now, and now she finally asked it.

I saw Professor Jin see through everything and said: "Do you want to ask me why I sold the house to you so cheaply?"

Song Xiuxiu nodded, which really made her confused.

Professor Jin did not beat around the bush and said directly: "I am not short of money, but I am short of a successor for this house!"

"successor?"

"Yes, successor!"

Professor Jin continued: “I have lived here since I was a child, and this house has long been a part of my life.”

"I love it and I'm afraid of it!"

"I'm afraid that if I'm gone one day, this house will be abandoned!"

"I'm afraid that its new owner won't appreciate its beauty and will change it beyond recognition."

"I have seen all the behaviors of you and your wife over the years."

"I believe you really like this house, and I will rest assured that it will be in your hands."

In fact, an old-fashioned house like this looks glamorous and has a rich sense of history, but it is very troublesome to maintain.

The first is the painting on these four places. After being exposed to wind and sun, the painting on it will fade and peel off in a few years.

Then you need to find a professional master to repair it again.

It has been eight years since Song Xiuxiu and the others moved here. During this period, they asked a master to come over and repair it with Professor Jin's permission.

In addition to the painting, there are also the window and door frames of the house.

Since they are all made of wood, they will lose shape over time and require maintenance and repair.

Therefore, Professor Jin is afraid that other buyers will not have the patience to properly maintain the house.

After listening to Professor Jin's reasons, Song Xiuxiu immediately said, "Professor Jin, don't worry, I will definitely protect this house like a jewel!"

Professor Jin nodded happily: "I believe you!"

Afterwards, Professor Jin stood up and said to the couple: "Since the contract states that all the items in this house are within the scope of this sale, I will take you to take inventory."

"So that you can have an idea!"

Hearing this, Song Xiuxiu couldn't help but wonder, what to count, those tables, chairs and benches!

Although they were confused, the couple followed Professor Jin out of the room obediently.

Song Xiuxiu originally thought Professor Jin would go to the front yard, but she didn't expect that she turned directly into the utility room in the backyard.

This is said to be a utility room, but in fact it used to be Professor Jin's sister's boudoir.

According to Professor Jin, her sister suddenly fell ill and died of a sudden illness when she was five years old. Her last appearance was not very nice, so no one dared to enter the room anymore, saying it was haunted.

Over time, a good boudoir became abandoned and turned into a room filled with debris.

After entering the room, Professor Jin picked up a wooden stick from behind the door and started tapping it on the cement floor.

Professor Jin soon marked a location, then turned to Lu Aiguo and said, "Go get a guy and break up the ground!"

Seeing this situation, Lu Aiguo had already guessed [-]% to [-]% of it.

So he obediently found a big hammer from outside and started hitting the place designated by Professor Jin.

The cement on the surface was quickly broken open, and then Lu Aiguo began to pry the brick floor below.

After struggling like this for more than an hour, a large iron plate leaked out.

"Use this to unlock the door!" Professor Jin calmly took off a necklace from his neck.

There was a round pendant hanging on the necklace. After breaking open the pendant, a small and exquisite key fell out.

Lu Aiguo took the key and found the lock on the iron plate.

The key was inserted into the keyhole, turned slightly, and there was a "click" sound, and the lock was opened.

At this time, Song Xiuxiu, who was standing aside, also came over curiously.

The iron plate was lifted, and what appeared in front of you was a long staircase that led directly to the dark place below.

Seeing Lu Aiguo standing there motionless, Song Xiuxiu asked in confusion: "What are you still doing? Why don't you go down?"

Lu Aiguo: "Wait a moment and let the oxygen inside be sufficient."

After waiting like this for about an hour, Lu Aiguo took a flashlight and prepared to go down.

What he didn't expect was that Professor Jin would also come down.

Lu Aiguo was afraid that there was danger below. Just when he was about to stop him, he heard Professor Jin say: "This is my home. I know what's inside best. I can't fall even if I close my eyes!"

After saying that, he turned to Song Xiuxiu who was standing aside and asked, "Would you like to come down and have a look too!"

Hearing this, Song Xiuxiu nodded quickly.

Out of great curiosity, she had actually wanted to go down and have a look, but she was afraid that Lu Aiguo would disagree.

Now that she received Professor Jin's warm invitation, of course Song Xiuxiu followed without hesitation.

Seeing that they both came down, Lu Aiguo could only shine his flashlight on the road under their feet.

I thought the road would be difficult to walk, but I didn't expect that the steps were wide and not steep, so the three of them climbed down easily.

Just when Lu Aiguo was holding a flashlight and preparing to explore the way ahead, he heard a "pop" sound and the entire basement lit up instantly!

Professor Jin stood at the steps with a smile on his face, holding a long light cord in his hand.

"It turns out there is a light!" Lu Aiguo turned off the flashlight in embarrassment and put it into his trouser pocket.

After getting the electric light, Lu Aiguo could clearly see this mysterious basement.

The space is not big, only about half a room, and there is nothing everywhere.

Lu Aiguo couldn't help but wonder, after all this effort, Professor Jin wanted to tell me that there was a vegetable cellar here!

Just when he was puzzled, Professor Jin had already walked to the east wall.

I saw her groping up and down, left and right, and soon pointed to a place and said to Lu Aiguo: "Push here hard!"

Lu Aiguo looked at Professor Jin in surprise, and secretly murmured in his heart, is your family so clever? It turns out that the basement in front is used to confuse intruders, and the real hidden treasure is probably behind the invisible door. place.

The man walked to the wall, put his hands against the wall, and began to grit his teeth.

Thanks to Lu Aiguo's strength, the wall soon began to loosen, and then began to rotate.

After the invisible door opened, a bigger room appeared inside!
