The happy little days of the Ye family

The tub was moved, revealing a dark brown mass that looked small and furry.

Ye Qingqing was about to bend down to pick it up, but he didn't expect that the thing would move and quickly jump to the corner.

Immediately afterwards, several little guys scurried out from under the bathtub, which made people's scalp numb.

Ye Qingqing took a big step back with a pale face, "O-rats, so many rats."

She never expected that there would be a large nest of little mice hidden under the tub.

Although these little things were not big in size, there were too many of them. One of them even rushed past her feet, scaring Ye Qingqing so much that she almost jumped.

The father and son carrying the bathtub did not expect such a situation. They did not know whether to continue moving the bathtub out or to catch mice first.

Finally, seeing that all these little guys had disappeared, I continued to move the tub outside.

When he came back, Tang Xiaojing was still mumbling, "Why are there so many little mice? If I had known, I would have brought Da Huang and Xiao Huang here."

Rhubarb and Xiaohuang have been hunting in the mountains since they were young. They can catch rabbits and pheasants, not to mention these little mice.

Ye Qingqing also regretted why he didn't bring the family dog ​​over.

Originally, she wanted to bring Big Yellow and Little Yellow to hunt for treasures together, but the two guys were having fun with the two rabbits at home and they were unwilling to go out with them.

Otherwise, these little mice won’t be enough for the big and small yellows to fill the gap between their teeth.

These little guys ran so fast that Ye Qingqing didn't bother to care about them. This house had to be rented out anyway.

After all, the bathroom is a place for bathing, and there are many people coming and going every day. There is no place to hide money in it, and the three of them quickly searched it.

The three of them came out of the bathroom empty-handed and soon found the cellar a few steps away from the kitchen.

The cellar door was broken and ajar.

Tang Xiaojing pushed the door open and found that it was quiet inside and the light was a little dark, so he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.

Tang Shan brought two torches over and lit them before the three of them walked cautiously into the cellar.

Tang Shan walked in the front, Ye Qingqing in the middle, and Tang Xiaojing in the back. The father and son protected her closely.

The flames dancing on the torch soon illuminated the entire cellar.

This cellar is very large, almost the size of a main room, and the floor is paved with bluestone slabs.

However, the cellar was empty. It could be seen from the missing grains on the ground that it was supposed to be a place where grain was stored.

It's a pity that the contents inside have been emptied out long ago, leaving only a few grains on the ground.

Looking at this cellar that only rats were willing to visit, the three of them couldn't help but smile bitterly. They must have moved it too cleanly.

Ye Qingqing looked around and said thoughtfully:

"Although I have found a lot of small hidden compartments in the past two days, they are not big and they don't look like a place where wealthy merchants hide their money."

Then she raised her voice excitedly, "Is there a serious secret compartment hidden in this house or a secret room that has not yet been found?"

Since the Li family is so wealthy, it stands to reason that there should be a secret compartment or a secret room.

Thinking of this, the three of them suddenly became excited and started banging around hard.

The three of them didn't speak, they were focused on finding the secret room. The expressions on their faces were both pious and excited, with unlimited expectations.

Ye Qingqing squatted on the ground and carefully tapped the bluestone in front of him.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound at the door. She was startled and looked back with fear.

Then she saw a rat bigger than her feet flashing past the door.

"What a big rat."

Ye Qingqing swore that this must be the biggest rat she had ever seen in her life.

However, the three of them were focused on treasure hunting, and no one paid much attention to the big rat. Ye Qingqing turned around and continued searching the house.

However, the secret room that the three of them longed for was not found. It was just an ordinary cellar for storing grain.

When they came out of the cellar, the three of them had some disappointment on their faces.

Looking at the spacious front yard and backyard, Ye Qingqing sighed again: If I had known, I would have brought the family dog ​​here.

Big Yellow and Little Yellow are very clever. If they were around, they would definitely be able to find things hidden in the ground.

But now they can only look at the huge front yard and have no idea what to do.

Tang Xiaojing looked at the front yard, then at Ye Qingqing's face, and suggested in a low voice:

"How about we start from the backyard?"

"Okay, okay."

As he spoke, Ye Qingqing took two steps at a time and trotted all the way to the backyard.

The front yard of this house is large and magnificent, but the back yard is much smaller and very simple.

In the backyard there are only a donkey shed, a horse shed, a small shed for firewood and a small open space for drying clothes.

The Tang family's bullock cart is placed in the stable. Although the horses are no longer there, there is a lot of good fodder in it.

The Tang family's big ox was lying on the ground at this time, eating fodder leisurely, its belly full of food.

Tangshan saw that the big cattle liked to eat these fodders, so he took out two sacks and filled them with two sacks of fodder, ready to take them back to feed the cattle.

When the cow saw Tangshan's actions, his attitude became obviously gentler, and he even nuzzled his shoulder with his head meekly, looking like he was trying to please him.

Tangshan was very patient with the dogs and cows at home, and even raised them as if they were children. At this time, he patted the big cow's head in front of him very lovingly.

"Work hard."

Ye Qingqing left the father and son in the stable, and then walked quickly to the place where the clothes were hung.

The house was sealed off by the government, and the clothes that had been drying had been hanging there for a long time.

Ye Qingqing silently collected these clothes one by one.

Most of these clothes are made of very expensive fine cotton fabrics, and two of them are made of silk. If they were taken to a pawn shop, they would be sold for tens of coins each.

Ye Qingqing counted and found that there were a total of 18 pieces of clothes, large and small, and they would make a lot of money if they were sold.

Of course, when collecting the clothes, Ye Qingqing did not forget to check them one by one.

Ye Qingqing picked up a dark green dress worn by an old lady. There were two hidden pockets inside the dress.

She reached in and touched it, but unexpectedly she found two gold leaves.

Ye Qingqing suddenly beamed with joy, but he didn't expect that something would slip through the net.

At this time, the father and son not far away were digging with hoes in some hidden corners of the wall.

However, they cannot smell like big yellow and small yellow, and know where things are hidden. They can only dig randomly like blind crow flies.

Without the dog at home, the father and son dug around all the corners, but still found nothing.

Although the front yard looks gorgeous and surrounded by flowers, it just looks pretty and there is nothing valuable in it.

Finally, Ye Qingqing asked his father and son to dig out two sacks of lotus roots from the lotus pond.

The Chinese New Year will be coming soon, and these lotus roots are just the right thing to give as New Year gifts.
