Chapter 63 There is a secret room in the yard

In the days that followed, Tang Xin returned to being her little child with peace of mind. Due to the adventure in the house given by their grandparents, the two were very keen on this activity, so they often explored various places in the house, not to mention that they actually found a place.

According to the plot seen on TV, Tang Xin took her brother to explore the walls, behind the bookcases, and under the bed, but found nothing. Father Tang also laughed at them. There were so many secret room mechanisms. Even after so many years, they should have been damaged long ago.

However, things just happened to happen, or Tang Xin was really God's favorite. That day when he and his brother were acting evil in the kitchen, they almost tripped over the raised blue bricks on the floor. Then the brother stepped on the blue brick angrily, but unexpectedly he couldn't step on it. The brother and sister got curious and found something to pry open the blue brick. To my surprise, I found an iron ring underneath.

"Sister, come and see, there is an iron ring here. Do you think there is a secret room underneath?" Brother Zhanbo asked curiously.

"Then you'll know if you try it. Let's pull it open." Tang Xin said, and the two of them pulled the iron ring out of curiosity, but it didn't pull. Perhaps because they were too weak, Tang Xin told her brother not to move yet and turned around to find her father.

Father Tang rushed over after hearing the news. He was very curious when he saw the iron ring that the two children had found. He tried to pull it and moved it slightly, but he still couldn't pull it up. Father Tang looked around carefully and found that the iron ring Under the ring was a large square green brick. Most of the green brick was pressed under the cabinet, so it was impossible to pull it. So Father Tang called Mother Tang to help take out everything in the cabinet.

Such a big movement naturally attracted Auntie and Sister Zheng. They divided the work and cooperated. They emptied the cupboard in a while and then moved the cupboard aside.

"Do you think you will find another vegetable cellar when you open it?" Tang Ma teased. Some people in Beijing have vegetable cellars, and they store autumn vegetables in the vegetable cellar. Their house has a vegetable cellar just outside the utility room on the other side of their house, and they plan to store autumn vegetables in it this year. Let’s see the effect.

"I can't say for sure, but who would put the entrance of the vegetable cellar in such a hidden position?" Dad Tang said while trying to pull the iron ring.

Maybe it hadn't been touched for a long time. It took a lot of effort for Father Tang to open a small gap. Sister Zheng quickly found a stick and inserted it inside. Father Tang used the principle of a pry bar to remove the big green brick. Pry it up.

"Okay, open it." Dad Tang said.

"Great, great, it's finally opened." Brother Zhanbo clapped his hands aside.

Everyone looked down curiously. The hole was about 60 centimeters square, enough for an adult to enter and exit. Brother Zhanbo quickly went to get a flashlight and wanted to go down and take a look. Was stopped by Tang Xin.

"Brother, don't go down yet. I haven't opened this for a long time. I don't know if there are any harmful gases inside. Be careful to get poisoned if you get inside."

"Tangbao is right, safety is the most important thing. Besides, if it is really a secret room with a mechanism or something, it will be very dangerous." Auntie said in agreement, and then remembered what the old people had said about secrets. The legend of the Taoist mechanism.

"It's true that the air is not circulating, but Auntie, I guess there shouldn't be any secret passage mechanism or anything like that. This is not a prince's house with jade seals and heirloom treasures. Don't worry." Father Tang analyzed calmly. .

After about an hour, Dad Tang felt that he was almost done and was ready to go down and take a look. Tang's mother found a candle and put it in a small lantern so that Tang's father could put it down first. After observing for a while that the candle was not extinguished, everyone could see through the weak candlelight that there was a small staircase extending down to the underground entrance. , Dad Tang slowly walked down the steps.

In order to avoid worrying about the people behind him, Tang Dad went down and took a brief look before coming back up, holding a vase in his hand.

"It's quite big inside. There are some shelves that look pretty good, and there are some boxes with some porcelain scattered here and there. This is one of them. It seems that it was really a place to put treasures before." Dad Tang said. While doing so, he handed the vase he took out to Tang's mother.

Tang's mother took it and looked at it. She didn't understand it clearly and handed it to her aunt. Her aunt put on her flower glasses and looked at it, and found that the bottom of the bottle had the four characters "Yongle Year" written in seal script.

"Hey, this is still an old thing, from the Ming Dynasty." My aunt was slightly surprised.

I don’t know which owner left this thing. No one knew about this place later, so they stayed here. Now they were fortunate enough to be discovered by the Tang family.

Now that they knew it was safe down there and there were treasures there, Tang Ma and the others were eager to go down and have a look. Father Tang found two oil lamps and lit them first, then put them on the shelf. Then he asked Mother Tang and others to come down with flashlights.

After coming down, I found that the space was medium-sized, about 20 square meters. The whole room was very dry, and I didn't know how to deal with it. Except for the staircase, the other three sides were covered with shelves that reached the top. There were also some scattered porcelain on the shelves. There are six large boxes stacked on the ground in the middle. The top three boxes have been opened and empty inside. It seems that the original owner must be leaving in a hurry.

Tang's father moved the big box on top, and then opened the box below. Oh my god, there are still things in the box below. The three boxes are full of books, calligraphy and paintings. He has made a fortune, Tang Xin thought to himself.

The happiest person was Tang’s father. He carefully took out these books and found that they were all manuscripts. Maybe the owner at the time thought these books were too heavy so he didn’t take them away.

"Fortunately, this room is well-sealed and dry. No one has discovered it for so many years, so these treasures can be preserved so well." Dad Tang sighed while stroking the cover of a book. These may be worthless in the eyes of ignorant people, but to people like them, they are of high research value. Books are priceless.

Not caring about anything else, Tang's father quickly started to sort out the books, calligraphy and paintings. My aunt was also on there helping to sort things out. When this person found something he was interested in, he really couldn't put it down. The two of them were so busy that they couldn't even think about eating.

It took them a day until the next day to sort out the three large boxes full of things. Although they were not priceless calligraphy, paintings or ancient books, they were precious because of the handwritten manuscripts and the experience of the original owner at that time. and annotations are still of great research value to Father Tang and others.

In fact, the most valuable things in the underground secret room are the porcelain, but Father Tang and Aunt Tang don't care anymore. In their eyes, these books are more important.

Tang Xin suggested that they hide the fact that they discovered this secret room. Tang Xin thought that in a few years there would be three consecutive years of natural disasters. At that time, food production was reduced and the harvest was bad, and people were living a very hard life. Why not take this opportunity to slowly start stocking up on food? Anyway, the place down there is very dry and the food should be stored well. It should be no problem to keep it for another year or two. And how many precious cultural relics were destroyed in the Great Revolution. Now that you know it, you should do your best to protect as much as possible. These books, calligraphy and paintings are all treasures of human culture.

We should also remind grandpa and grandpa that they are starting to stock up on some food, but how can we say they will believe it? Tang Xin felt a little worried.
