Xiang Yisen and Yu Qing looked at each other in confusion. What could be possible about doing things in the house that would make them feel guilty?
Xiang Yisen thought hard and couldn't figure out the reason, so he said: "Let's go over and take a look in the afternoon. If there is a problem with this group of workers, then we can just fire them and replace them with a new group."
The couple both felt that these workers were not serious about their work and were fooling the children.
Before going to work in the afternoon, Xiang Yisen drove with his family to the village in the city.
On a hot summer day, the heat wave is rolling after noon. As soon as you get out of the air-conditioned car, your whole body feels like you have been in an oven, and your whole body is screaming the word "heat".
The door of the old house was ajar. Yu Qing, who was walking in front, pushed hard and the door opened.
When the family entered the central hall, they felt a little cooler all over, and the heat that burned their skin dropped.
The workers who were hiding in the room to rest after lunch heard the noise outside, and two people came out of the room. When they saw the owner coming, panic flashed clearly on their faces.
The person in charge of decoration blushed and greeted everyone: "Boss, you are here."
Xiang Yisen didn't seem to notice their blushes. He walked forward and asked with a smile: "You have worked hard these days, are you taking a rest?"
The person in charge nodded calmly: "Yeah, after lunch, we will rest for two or three hours before starting work."
"Is everyone else resting?" Xiang Yisen asked as he walked into the house.
The person in charge was tense all over. He wanted to stop but couldn't find an excuse for it. Before he could react, Xiang Yisen had already entered the house.
The three children, Zhuzhu, Daan and Xiaoan, looked excited. This was the room where they felt strange in the morning. Will their father be able to expose their secrets when they walk in?
Yu Qing smiled at the person in charge and walked in with the children following closely behind.
Xiang Yisen walked around an excavated ground in the house and asked, "Why is there a stone slab on this ground? How did you find it?"
The workers involved in the excavation were so frightened that they wanted to tell the truth when faced with Xiang Yisen, who had a strong aura. But they knew that telling the truth would not yield good results for them, and the air in the room became stagnant for a moment.
Da'an rushed in from outside. The first thing he saw was the dug stone slabs. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, the mud floor in this house is actually paved with stone slabs."
Xiao An imitated Xiang Yisen's gesture and turned the excavated stone slab in a circle: "Why did the original owner of this house lay a mud floor on top of the original stone slab? Or, he didn't know what was underneath the mud floor.
There is also a layer of slate, and this layer of slate happened to be discovered by the decoration masters? "
With that said, he glanced at the decoration workers in the house.
Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the workers present.
The person in charge wiped the sweat from his forehead, squeezed in front of Xiang Yisen, smiled coquettishly, and explained to them: "We discovered this in the morning, because the workers discovered this situation and did not inform me yet.
, I didn’t know how to deal with it specifically, so I didn’t tell the small bosses about this situation in the morning.
They told me about this situation during lunch. I was curious and wanted to dig it up first and have a look. I will inform you after I find out the situation. I didn’t expect that you just came after we dug up the soil above. It’s really
What a coincidence!"
Xiang Yisen nodded and followed his words: "It's quite a coincidence. We also feel that we haven't come here to check the progress of the decoration for a long time. We came here to take a look. We didn't expect to encounter such a situation."
"Yes, yes, that's what you said."
The person in charge really wiped the cold sweat from his forehead this time. It seemed that everyone knew it, but no one wanted to make it clear.
This matter is very dangerous. If the slate is pried open and the boss only finds out after a few days, then the matter will be really unclear.
Xiang Yisen took an iron drill from the worker's hand, knocked it on the slate, and then knocked it on the dirt floor next to the slate. He probably knew something about it, so he raised his head and said to the children: "This slate is not paved.
It fills the entire room, probably covering this place, and there should be a hollow under the stone slab."
The person in charge standing aside was ashamed. In order to make up for the guilt he had just concealed from him, he came forward and said, "Boss, what should we do now? Do we want to pry open this stone slab?"
"Pry it."
Xiang Yisen and his family moved aside and let the workers use iron drills to pry the big stone slab.
Da An stood behind the workers and secretly poked Xiao An, winking at him: "This person in charge is so treacherous. If we don't come in the afternoon, he will definitely not report this to us."
Xiao An glanced at the man who was about to pry off the stone slab, and responded to him in a low voice without squinting: "It goes without saying, it's not obvious."
Da An came close to Xiao An's ear again, this time his voice was lower: "What do you think is under this stone slab? Could it be a treasure cave?"
Xiao An looked forward to what was under the stone slab: "It's possible."
"Didn't we make it?" Da'an almost jumped up with excitement after hearing this, and was full of anticipation for them to pry the stone slab hard.
Zhuzhu heard the words of her two younger brothers and came over to break their illusions: "Stop dreaming. Everything dug out of the ground belongs to the state. Private individuals cannot do it privately."
It is possible that my family discovered this place. With so many workers present today, how could this matter be hidden!
Why are my two silly brothers so naive?
While the three siblings were talking, two workers had already pried open a gap at one end of the stone slab. A worker standing next to him had quick eyes and quick hands and picked up half a brick from the side and stuffed it into the gap.
The two workers took the iron drill out of the gap and pried the other side. By doing this, they pried open a gap on several sides.
The person in charge then called on several workers to lift the bluestone slab together.
Under the long-awaited stone slab is a hole about 1.5 meters square. When you look in, you can't see anything in the dark darkness below.
"There is a flashlight in the car. I'll go and come back." Xiang Yisen said and looked at the person in charge: "Don't let anyone get out before I come back. I'm worried that it will be sealed inside for too long, the air will be turbid and there will be insufficient oxygen. Let's ventilate it first.
"
Yu Qing, who followed and remained silent, agreed: "Don't worry, someone is watching here."
Xiang Yisen nodded, feeling relieved to have his wife looking at him. He quickly walked out the door and turned back soon.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, he turned on the flashlight and looked at it. The ground in the cave was about three meters high from the entrance. Within the reach of the light, Xiang Yisen could only see clearly a set of tables and chairs. The rest could not be seen due to the distance limit of the light.
What else is there?
"It's hard to see what's down there. Boss, would you like to bring a candle and light it to explore the air below?" The person in charge was really curious this time and hurriedly suggested.
Xiang Yisen looked away, stood up, turned around and asked, "Do you still have candles here?"
The person in charge smiled and said: "This is a habit. We are afraid of power outages at night when we are working outside. Everyone always has a few candles in their luggage."
Xiang Yisen nodded and asked them to bring one over.
The candle was brought over and the person in charge lit it. Xiang Yisen took it and lit the candle and wanted to go down the stone steps at the entrance of the cave.
Yu Qing held him back: "Do you need to ventilate it again?"
"It's okay. This hole is not small, and the wind has been blowing through it for so long. There shouldn't be anything you're afraid of."
Xiang Yisen patted her hand and walked down the stone steps.
Several children were about to follow, but they were all suppressed by Yu Qing. How could she allow the children to follow until the following people understood the situation.
The children had no choice but to lie down at the entrance of the cave and look inside.
Besides, Xiang Yisen went down step by step. When the light of the flashlight shone on the table he just saw above, he carefully walked over and put the candle on the table, and then looked around.
The flashlight illuminated the surrounding area, and he could roughly see what was going on underneath. It was probably an underground room with the same layout as the one above, but the arrangement of the furniture in this underground room was different from the one above.
Moreover, he wiped the thickness of dust on the table. This room may have been sealed for at least a hundred years.
What shocked him the most was that the table was the Eight Immortals table that was favored by ancient people. The workmanship and materials were very particular.
He couldn't understand for a moment why the ancients built such a house underground when they already had a house on the ground.
Since he didn't know its function, and he felt it would be unlucky to keep things underground, he thought so in his mind that he didn't stay underground much longer.
"Dad, what's going on down there?" As soon as Da'an saw Xiang Yisen coming up from the cave entrance, he jumped over and asked impatiently.
"It's just a room similar to the one above, with some furniture." As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and said to Yu Qing, "I'm going to make a call."
Yu Qing nodded. After listening to his words, she knew that the things underneath were not something that their family could keep privately.
Within an hour, staff from the cultural department came quickly.
A group of strangers drove over in two cars, attracting the attention of nearby villagers.
Xiang Yisen ignored the gazes of the villagers who were lying at the door looking in. He let the staff of the cultural department in and bolted the door.
The leader who came this time was Wang Chaodong. He waited for the door to close, then stretched out his hand to shake Xiang Yisen's hand: "I brought people over as soon as I received your call. If this place meets the national cultural relics standards, I will
If I apply to the higher authorities for you, you won’t suffer any loss.”
"As friends for so many years, you should know that I don't care much about this aspect. Let's not talk about anything else. I will take you to see the situation first."
Xiang Yisen led them into the house, pointed at the entrance of the cave and said to them: "The rest is up to you."
Wang Chaodong looked around the house and became a little interested in the things below, but he thought that at most it was a treasure cave of the ancients.
Because it was Xiang Yisen who reported it, he followed Chaodong without stopping him this time.
When we got down there, there was an old expert who followed Wang Chaodong. He became interested when he saw the furnishings inside.
"Judging from the placement of this kind of furniture, it should be placed like this in a wealthy family in ancient times. It is completely arranged according to the living room of a wealthy family in ancient times."
Wang Chaodong relied on the light of the flashlights held by several people, looked around, and asked his doubts: "Oh, according to Mr. Li, I think this house is a bit small. This big family cannot have eccentricities, like
Are you entertaining guests underground?"
"Why not?" Li Laoyi asked pointedly.
Wang Chaodong: "."
Is there really such a person?
"The value of these furniture is immeasurable, both in terms of physical value and cultural relic value." Mr. Li found that the materials of these furniture were all huanghuali wood.
There is a lot of furniture in this underground room alone. There are two Taishi chairs on both sides of the Eight Immortals table. On both sides of the bottom are two rows of Taishi chairs and coffee tables. There are two rows of ancient bookshelves against the walls on the left and right sides. There seem to be some shelves on them.
Ornaments.
According to the value of the furniture, he thought that the ornaments on the ancient shelves were equally valuable.
He didn't have the intention to check the ornaments on the shelf now, but opened a dusty door that blended in with the wall.
When Xiang Yisen saw this, he was slightly shocked. He hadn't noticed that there was a door here when he came down just now. He thought it was this room.
In the inner room, under the strong light they brought down, Xiang Yisen could see clearly that it was a study room. There were more bookshelves inside than outside, and the ornaments on it were even more densely arranged.
In addition, there are standard study equipment, bookshelves and desks, as well as the four treasures of the study, as well as some study decorations, books, etc.
This time, Mr. Li did not check the furnishings of the study first, but opened another door in front of a wall.
Wang Chaodong looked at it in surprise and opened another door, "Why do I feel like this basement is like a matryoshka doll, with one room within another?"
Mr. Li explained in a good mood: "This should be built according to the owner's house on the ground."
"What do you mean?" Xiang Yisen was shocked when he heard this: "You mean this place is a ghost house?"
"right!"
As if to confirm Mr. Li's words, when they entered this room again, the objects that were touched by the light shocked the other unprepared people, and their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.
Other staff members who came down were so frightened that they covered their chests, as if this would keep their hearts safe.
According to the habits of the ancients, this room should be a dormitory. It is empty all around, and there is a dark coffin in the middle!
Seeing the coffin in this room, everything under the ground is clearly explained. The ancients have always believed that death is like life. This concept has been in our country for a long time, so some people will build underground according to their own residences during their lifetime.
Tomb chamber.
When Xiang Yisen saw this, the trace of luck in his heart also disappeared. The underground has become like this, so this house is equivalent to someone else's mausoleum, which is a pity for the children's investment.
I don’t know if they lost or made a profit on this investment?
This house was rebuilt only a few decades ago. It can be seen from the underground facilities that this tomb was not built by the owner. As for the exact age, we can only know it after archaeological research.
The children knew what was going on underground, and the three of them wanted to cry without tears.
"Yeah, it seems our investment failed this time." Zhuzhu said.
Da'an glanced at the entrance of the cave reluctantly and asked uncertainly: "The state should give us subsidies, right?"
After all, they took the initiative to report this ancient tomb, and it was on top of their house. Why should the country compensate them?
"Children, let's go back. The relevant departments will take over this place, so don't worry about it. If your investment fails, how about mom buy you a new one to make up for the loss this time?"
"Okay." Da'an looked up at his mother and nodded reluctantly.
Yesterday was a very uncomfortable day. I sweated all over at night. After a good sleep, I regained my energy today, except for the occasional cough.
