"Um!"
He Ting stretched his hand out from the edge of the bathtub and held Lu Baiwei's hand: "Don't be afraid, Xuanxuan is fine."
He Ting told Lu Baiwei that there was a mechanism similar to a dragon sucking water under the well, leading to the dark room of the house.
The owner of this dark room is probably not Professor Zhou's former friend Professor Gu. It was most likely left behind by the owner who built this house. There are many boxes and cages piled inside, and a perpetual lamp is embedded on the stone wall.
When He Ting broke the mechanism and was sucked into the dark room ditch, Xiao Xuanzi, wrapped in an embroidered robe, lay on the ground and fell into a coma.
After making sure that Xuanxuan was just asleep, He Ting didn't bother to observe what was in the dark room and quickly carried him out.
At this moment, Xuanxuan and Xiaohanzi were having fun making faces, and He Ting patted the naughty boy on the head.
"How did you fall into the well?"
"I didn't step firmly and fell in."
"It was sucked in. There was a light inside... The box was moved away..."
"It's so cold, find some clothes to wear..."
Listening to Xiaoxuanzi's frantic gestures and organizing his words to describe how he fell into the well, He Ting and Lu Baiwei could only sigh that he was blessed with a good fortune and was ignorant and fearless.
What happened was that the naughty boy wanted to climb up the wall to see when the jeep that picked up Lu Baiwei and He Ting would come back, and he wanted to see his parents first.
Unexpectedly, when he saw his sister Ranzi chasing Hanhan to play hide-and-seek, he missed a step while climbing up the tree and fell into the well.
Before he had time to feel scared after falling into the water, he was sucked into the dark room by the dragon's water-sucking mechanism.
It's early spring weather, and Xiaoxuanzi is still wearing a cotton coat!
After crawling out of the ditch in the dark room, he saw boxes in the room, which were similar to the boxes where Lu Baiwei usually kept her clothes. Without thinking, he moved a stool and climbed up to move the boxes away to find clothes to wear.
He took off his wet clothes, found a thick robe to wrap himself up, and fell asleep in a daze.
When I opened my eyes again, it was too cold. I was woken by the cold in my uncle He Hua's arms.
Then he saw a group of people who cared about him by the well, Chengcheng who was glaring at him with a dark face, and his sister Xiaohanzi who was hugging him and crying.
If Xiaoxuanzi was older, he would have been scared to death if he fell into the well and was sucked into the dark room.
Even if you are not scared to death, you will still get sick from the cold even if you wrap yourself in a wet cotton-padded jacket.
But he was still ignorant and didn't know the age of fear.
When he saw the box, he thought about taking out some clothes to wear. He took off his wet clothes and wrapped them in the thick robe he found. He didn't know what kind of wood the box was made of, and what kind of spices were put inside to preserve the clothes.
It turned out that the robe from the Qing Dynasty was not damaged even after being stored in the box. It really helped Xiaoxuanzi to wrap himself up and keep warm.
It was not known whether Xiaoxuanzi was tired from all the rest or if there were some dizzy drugs in the basement, but when He Ting found Xiaoxuanzi, the naughty boy was fine and was sleeping soundly.
Lu Baiwei was worried about Xiaoxuanzi, so she took his pulse and found no signs of poisoning.
He Ting and his son were taking a hot bath. Professor Zhou was waiting outside the bathroom impatiently for He Ting. He was so excited that he even trembled with his hands and feet while pacing back and forth.
If Mr. Lu hadn't thought Xuanxuan was in the wrong, he would have really wanted to pick up the chessboard on the corridor and smash it down on him when he saw this scene.
His great-grandson nearly died, and his grandson-in-law was freezing after going down the well.
This old Zhou only thinks about secrets and antique treasures.
When Xuanxuan was carried into the bathroom, he was still holding on to the robe that wrapped little Xuanxuan and refused to let go. Mr. Lu couldn't help but almost hit him.
Professor Zhou didn't realize at all that the chess friend who had been on good terms with him wanted to beat him up.
He was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his throat. If Zhou Yanfeng hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to go down the well himself.
Fortunately, after a long wait, He Ting finally took a hot bath to restore his strength, put on his clothes and opened the bathroom door.
Mr. Zhou jumped over and said, "A-Ting, what's going on down there?"
"It's a dark room. You saw the robe that wrapped Xuanxuan. Grandpa Zhou."
When He Ting said this, Mr. Zhou was so excited that he was almost speechless.
He coughed heavily, and his voice finally returned to normal.
"Did the owner of this house leave it behind?"
"Yes, Xuanxuan was sucked in by the dragon's water-sucking mechanism, taking oxygen with him. When I broke through the mechanism and went in, I lit the eternal lamp."
"There were many boxes and cages inside, but I was too busy with the children to take a closer look."
Zhou Zhaoye was very excited. He grabbed He Ting's arm and said, "When will we go down again?"
"Tonight!"
He Ting told Zhou Zhaoye: "I observed carefully that the water level of this well will drop at night. At that time, we can break through the well wall mechanism and enter the dark room without immersing ourselves in water."
This house was built by a eunuch of the Qing Dynasty, a prominent eunuch at that.
When Zhou Zhaoye's old friend Professor Gu bought the house, he spent a lot of money to purchase it because the owner of the house was once this eunuch.
I think that Old Gu, who was quite knowledgeable about mechanical things at the time, knew that there was a secret in the house and that there was this secret room.
This means that the dark room underground contains not only things left behind by the eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty, but also a batch of treasures left behind by Lao Gu.
How could Zhou Zhaoye not be excited about this?
Professor Zhou rubbed his hands excitedly. As an antique fan, he could hardly eat before entering the darkroom.
When he reached the bottom of the well, he was so excited that he almost fainted.
Because there are so many valuable treasures inside.
This is not only a huge fortune, but the treasures left behind by the eunuch are not only from the Qing Dynasty, but also include some calligraphy and paintings, as well as rare toys from previous dynasties.
It can be said that if these treasures were to come out at the same time, it would not only shock the entire archaeological community, but would also have immeasurable value for the study of history.
Because the house was bought jointly by He Ting and his friends, no matter how excited Professor Zhou was, Zhou Yanfeng, He Ting and Tang Yuanyang kept saying that they had to wait for Shen Junqian to come back to discuss what to do with these treasures.
Professor Zhou chose to respect the opinions of several young people.
Shen Junqian took Tao Xiaotong off the car on his way to Pengcheng in order to raise money to invest in building a hotel in Pengcheng.
With his keen business sense, Shen Junqian realized that Lu Baiwei's building of this hotel to receive overseas Chinese businessmen who came to Pengcheng to invest would mean more opportunities to attract investment.
This time when I went to Pengcheng and had a deep conversation with Lu Yuanze, I learned what the future development prospects of Pengcheng will be.
Shen Junqian knew that there were opportunities in Pengcheng.
Therefore, he did not want to hold too small a stake in the first batch of investment in Pengcheng. However, his situation was the same as Lu Baiwei's. He had invested all his previous savings in Shiweiji and the rabbit farm expanded by Professor Chen and Liu Zaicheng.
Although Shiweiji pays dividends on a quarterly basis, the remaining money he has on hand plus the dividends is just a drop in the bucket to invest in building a hotel in Pengcheng.
Shen Junqian didn't want to miss the opportunity. Knowing that his grandfather had some valuable old ginseng, he had some evil ideas.
