Chapter 177: The House with Problems

Ruan Anan took a deep breath and began to re-examine the house.

To say it's strange, it's really a bit strange.

This house is too empty.

The structure of this house might be reasonable in 2025, but it seemed a bit unreasonable in 1970.

Because technology is more mature now, houses are basically frame structures, so it is normal that there are no load-bearing walls.

But this was 1970, why was the house so empty, without even a weighing wall?

It's really hard to understand.

Ruan Anan stroked the bracelet in her sleeve and began to communicate with her mind.

My dear bracelet, can you find the entrance to the basement?

[Ding! Starting to query for the owner, query and detection in progress, please wait.]

Hearing the emotionless mechanical voice, Ruan Anan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that something might happen to this cool bracelet again and it would stop working.

[Ding! The host has successfully detected that there is a mezzanine in the middle of this house.]

What the hell?

Mezzanine?

This guy really has nothing better to do, running to the mountains to play an escape room.

[Ding! The host has been successfully detected. The entrance to the basement is in the ancient well in the backyard.]

The whole thing is very secretive.

etc……

Ancient well?

Ruan Anan just felt as if her brain capacity was suddenly not enough.

Isn’t it said that this is an uninhabited forest?

How did the ancient well come about?

Mezzanine, ancient well, and abandoned building.

Is this still a period piece?

It feels like I've entered the wrong book.

The thick porridge in the pot had begun to bubble. Ruan Anan smelled the rich rice aroma and leaned over to ask, "How long until we can eat it?"

"Half an hour." Xiao Li said, "I'll put some luncheon meat in later. I'll make sure Sister An An doesn't go hungry."

Ruan Anan nodded and raised his thumbs with both hands at the same time, "Xiao Li, you are awesome."

"Then Captain Xu and I will go for a walk outside first."

"Okay, don't go too far, leave this to me." Xiao Li knew Xu Yancheng's ability to survive in the wild, so he didn't think too much about it.

Ruan Anan didn't have any intention of hiding anything, and directly pulled Xu Yancheng to the backyard.

You know what, there really is a well.

Ruan Anan and Xu Yancheng lay by the well, looking inside. Ruan Anan really didn't know how to identify an ancient well, so she asked curiously, "Xu Yancheng, do you know what era this well is from?"

"I don't know, but I can see it's a dry well." When it comes to marching and fighting, Xu Yancheng is worth two men at a time.

But when it comes to identifying ancient wells, he really doesn't know how to do it.

The two were speechless.

The only thing we know is that this dry well looks quite old. There is a thick layer of fallen leaves at the bottom of the well, and the surrounding bluestone is mottled and damaged.

In short, he looks old at first glance.

And the water tank at the bottom doesn't look round, it looks square.

You should know that this kind of square water tank was eliminated more than a hundred years ago.

"Today is really interesting. I didn't expect to find the ruins." Ruan Anan looked at the sky around him, which had completely darkened, and said what he thought.

"I think there might be something unknown under this well."

"Why don't we go down and take a look tomorrow morning?"

She seems fearless, but she is also unwilling to put herself in danger.

At night - exploring the well, isn't that nonsense?

Xu Yancheng naturally agreed with this statement. He even felt that he brought too few people this time.

If we want to go down the well, we must organize an exploration team of at least 20 people.

Otherwise, there are some supernatural dangers that they cannot deal with on their own. The two hit it off immediately, and when they returned to the house, the thick porridge was almost cooked.

Ruan Anan took out four dried sausages from her bag like a magician, handed them to Xu Yancheng and asked him to put them on the big pot to warm them, and then told everyone the whole story of discovering the ancient well.

When he heard the last part, Zhu Yaoyao couldn't believe his ears anymore, and his hands holding the notebook began to tremble.

"You mean, there's an ancient well that's at least a hundred years old?"

"So, this place was once inhabited by people who knew how to dig wells, and they weren't savages?"

"This is even more shocking than knowing there are enemy troops here, okay?"

Ruan Anan smiled awkwardly. That was what she said, but that was the fact.

This well can't be transported from somewhere else, right?

Qi Chi even set his eyes on Xu Yancheng, "Yes, really?"

You should know that the local residents on the Nansha Islands migrated here during the war decades ago.

This island was deserted before.

It is quite lively now. Not only are there enemy troops, but it is also possible that people once lived here.

If it weren't for the fact that this is a special period of great movement, this discovery would have caused a sensation around the world.

Xu Yancheng nodded, his expression not seeming fake.

Qi Chi is a genius in science, but not in liberal arts. He felt incredible after hearing the news.

After all, the history books he studied did not mention Zeng Houyi, the ancient Dian Kingdom, or Sanxingdui.

It is a bit difficult to make him believe and accept that there were ancient people living on a deserted island, and that they were ancient people who knew how to dig wells.

Qi Chi tried hard to calm his mind before speaking again, "I used to yearn for Nansha Island when I was in Hai City. My father was my cousin's husband at that time, and he was my hero."

"So, I secretly looked up all the information about Nansha Island."

"I just hope that one day I can expand my territory like my father did."

"But, the information I checked didn't say there was anyone here."

Zhu Yaoyao was also confused. "When I came here again, I received training and was told clearly that this is a deserted island."

"Knowing how to dig a well means having civilization."

"So, there once was an unknown civilization hidden within the mountains of this deserted island?"

Ruan Anan accepted this fact very easily. After all, in the next few decades, there would be many unreasonable archaeological discoveries.

The barbecue grills found in Sanxingdui were made with welding technology, and the oracle bones found in Yinxu were phono-semantic characters. What else is impossible?

However, after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out how to explain this matter to them, so she simply kept her mouth shut.

But just as they were drinking thick porridge from aluminum lunch boxes, a rustling sound suddenly came from the forest.

It was like someone was running madly.

Xu Yancheng immediately became alert, put down the lunch box in his hand, and gripped the gun beside him tightly.

Xiao Li and Wu Wei even stood sideways at the door, holding their pistols tensely.

Zhu Yaoyao is a military doctor. He is not equipped with a gun, but he has self-defense weapons. He pulled Ruan Anan and hid in a dark corner.

It was as if everyone had suddenly entered a state of combat readiness.
