The happy little days of the Ye family

Several people came to the last main room, which was the room where they found ginseng and two gold hairpins.

Because he found a lot of good things in this room yesterday, Ye Qingqing had high hopes for it and always felt that there were treasures hidden in this room.

This room is more majestic than the other main houses in front of it, especially the beams on the roof. As soon as Ye Xilin entered, he was attracted by the beams covered with exquisite carvings.

But the house was empty, there was no furniture, and there was no place to hide anything except the beams.

The table and chairs brought in by Mr. Ye yesterday were still there. Ye Xilin nimbly climbed onto the table and then stood on the stool.

The beams on the roof were as thick as Ye Xilin's waist. Ye Xilin hugged the beams, pushed hard with his feet, and climbed directly onto the beams.

Mother Ye watched Ye Xilin climb up the beam and shouted worriedly: "Be careful, this house has been in disrepair for a long time, and I don't know if the beams are rotten. Come down quickly."

Ye Xilin said with a smile: "It's okay, the beams are so thick."

Ye Xilin was very flexible. He lay on the beam and knocked on it carefully, not missing every gap.

The four people below did not dare to blink, staring at Ye Xilin for fear that he would fall.

Ye Xilin was indeed lucky in treasure hunting, and he actually found another small box in the cracks of the beams.

The box is only the size of Ye Xilin's palm. The box is square and has a small lock on it.

The lock head was small and rusty. Ye Xilin easily pulled the lock head open with a strong tug.

When he opened the box, he found that it was filled with glittering gold nuggets, which almost blinded Ye Xilin.

Ye Xilin saw so much gold for the first time. His hands were shaking with excitement. He quickly closed the box in his hand and handed it to Mr. Ye below with a silly smile.

The four people below only knew that Ye Xilin had found a box, but they didn't know what was in the box. They all gathered around and stared curiously at the small box in Mr. Ye's hand.

Mr. Ye carefully opened the box and found that it was actually a box full of gold nuggets. The four of them were shocked by the shining gold nuggets.

Mr. Ye reacted quickly and quickly closed the box. He weighed it with his hands and found that the box weighed about eight or nine taels.

One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver. Even if the weight of the box is removed, these golds are worth at least seven or eighty taels.

Mr. Ye felt as if there was a fire in his heart, his palms were sweating with excitement, and his mouth almost reached behind his ears.

Mrs. Ye, Mother Ye and Ye Qingqing were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. They covered their mouths with their hands for fear of screaming with joy.

Mr. Ye tore off a piece of fabric from his clothes, tied the small box tightly to his abdomen and hid it.

Ye Xilin, who was standing on the beam, raised the corners of his mouth and kept giggling.

Ye Xilin calmed down and searched twice more on the beams. After making sure there was nothing, he came down carefully.

Ye Xilin asked excitedly: "Isn't it a little strange? How can there be so many gold nuggets in an old house? Doesn't the previous owner know?"

Mother Ye said in a low voice: "I heard from your father that this house had a successful family a few decades ago. At that time, the family was prosperous and the property was rich. Later, for some reason, it quickly declined again. I will ask your father to find out later. one time."

Old Mrs. Ye was not interested in how the previous owner of this house declined. This house was bought by their family, and the things found inside belonged to their family.

Old Mrs. Ye urged Mr. Ye and Ye Xilin to quickly remove the window sills and doors in the house, not leaving any part alone.

Several people dug deep into the ground and dismantled everything that could be dismantled. Unfortunately, no other treasures were found in this room or in the side rooms behind.

Mother Ye looked at the dejected Ye Xilin and Ye Qingqing, patted the two little guys on the back and comforted them:

"I have found so many things today. It's time to be content. You can't be too greedy."

After dismantling the tables and cabinets all morning, Mrs. Ye felt a little hungry. She touched her flat belly and said, "Are you hungry? Let's eat something first and then continue looking for it in the afternoon."

As they talked, they came to the front yard. The front yard was half cleaned by Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye in the morning, revealing a goose path and a half-collapsed rockery.

The rockery is not big, and there is a small pond attached to it. It rained heavily a few days ago, and the water in the pond has not dried up yet. There is still a shallow layer of water left, and there are still some fallen leaves floating on the water.

Several people sat down on the stone table in the courtyard. There was a large backpack on the stone table. Ye Mu took out a large bag of steamed buns from the backpack.

These buns are stuffed with fungus and egg. They have thin skin and large fillings. The fungus inside was picked from Xiaohou Mountain a few days ago.

Several people were very hungry, so they took the steamed buns and ate them hungrily.

Ye Qingqing and Ye Mu were so tired that they slumped down on the stone benches and ate steamed buns, while Ye Xilin was full of energy and wandered around the yard with his steamed buns as if nothing had happened.

There was a path paved with cobblestones from the stone table to the rockery. Ye Xilin followed the path to the rockery.

Ye Xilin held the bun in one hand, picked up a branch with the other hand, and paddled casually in the small pool under the rockery with the branch.

Unexpectedly, as I paddled, a small jade pendant was hooked out of the branches.

Ye Xilin quickly picked up the jade pendant and ran back to find Ye Mu and others.

Mrs. Ye picked up the bamboo tube, poured the water inside on the jade pendant, and cleaned the jade pendant.

There are concentric knots woven with red rope at the bottom of the jade pendant, and the red rope above the jade pendant was broken by something. It seems that the jade pendant was hooked off by something and fell into the rockery pool.

Mrs. Ye and the others are just ordinary farmers, and have never seen something as precious as jade. They can't tell whether this jade pendant is good or bad, but it looks pretty good.

Mrs. Ye took out a small purse and put the jade pendant in. There were other things she just found in it.

After putting away the jade pendants, they continued to devour the steamed buns so that they could continue their treasure hunt.

Ye Qingqing was eating steamed buns, her little face round and cute.

Ye Qingqing suddenly said: "Don't rich families usually have secret rooms or cellars? Why didn't we find them?"

Ye Xilin said with excitement on his face: "Maybe I haven't found it yet. Sister, please eat quickly. After that, we will continue to look for it."

Ye Xilin urged Ye Qingqing to eat quickly. He couldn't wait to find the secret room and cellar.

After eating the steamed buns, Mrs. Ye took Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye to continue cleaning the yard.

Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin went to the kitchen. They had searched the main room and the side rooms in the morning, but now only the woodshed and the kitchen were missing. And the cellar is usually near or under the kitchen.

The two of them rummaged around in the kitchen first, and finally found the entrance to the cellar next to the kitchen. As soon as the cellar door opened, they were greeted by dust and a smell of mold from inside.

The siblings were a little scared looking at the gloomy cellar, and quickly called Mr. Ye and the others over.
