Lu Jiaxin has been wondering how Sun Xun found the secret passage two years later. With their family's financial situation, they couldn't afford to renovate the house. And if the entrance to the secret passage was exposed during the renovation, the two families behind would definitely make a fuss.

As members of the Sun family, they all had a share of the things passed down by their ancestors. But she had never heard of the third branch fighting over the inheritance in her previous life, so the other two branches should not have known about it before the antiques and paintings were sold.

Based on the known information, Lu Jiaxin speculated that the tunnel entrance might have been exposed due to the collapse of the house or other reasons. Sun Xun covered it up after discovering it, which is why the two families behind him didn't know about it.

Gu Wenfeng said another thing: "The three kangs in this courtyard were built before liberation. The strange thing is that these three kangs were built by Grandpa Sun Xun himself. Before that, no one knew he could build kangs."

Lu Jiaxin's eyes lit up: "Did Sun Xun's grandfather die in an accident, and he didn't see his family before he died."

Gu Wenfeng nodded and said, "Yes, he went to buy food and met deserters from the Guo Party on the way. Those people were just like bandits, burning, killing, looting and doing everything, so he was killed."

Lu Jiaxin had previously wondered why no one in the Sun family knew about the secret passage, but now she knew the reason: "I think the entrance to the secret passage is most likely inside the kang in my room."

Gu Wenfeng did not make any inferences. Since there was no entrance to the secret passage after the kang in Lu Jiaxin's room was dismantled, he could just dismantle the other two.

"When will Zhao Dajun leave?" Lu Jiaxin asked. The materials for repairing the house arrived the day before yesterday afternoon. In the past two days, Zhao Dajun and the hired craftsman have repaired the roof. All the doors and windows need to be replaced. I paid the deposit this morning. Once it's finished, it will be delivered and installed. Everyone knows how to paint the walls, so there's no need to hire someone.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had different views, Lu Jiaxin really didn't want Zhao Dajun to go back. First, he was efficient at work, and second, he had high martial arts skills.

Gu Wenfeng said: "Tell him tomorrow and go back the day after tomorrow."

"What's the reason?"

Gu Wenfeng knew that her reason for being afraid to go back was far-fetched and would make Zhao Dajun guess: "His job has been finalized, and he has to go back to report."

"Yeah, the job has been confirmed. What unit is it in?"

When she heard that it was a transportation company in Zhao Dajun's hometown, she thought it was good. Zhao Dajun could drive, had high combat power, and was not afraid of long distances. Even if the transportation company failed in the future, he could buy a car and run transportation business if he had the money, or he could easily find a job if he didn't have the conditions to drive for others.

Zhao Dajun was very happy to hear the news the next day, and he felt relieved that his work was settled. But when he heard that he had to go back the next day, Zhao Dajun was unwilling to do it: "Brother Feng, it will take you forever to finish all this work. There is only half a month to report, so I can leave five days in advance. I will help you clean up the house these days."

Gu Wenfeng had expected him to say this: "The reporting period is only one week, and you have to find a place to live after reporting, so you have to go back early."

Zhao Dajun had to report in within a week, so he didn't dare to delay and took the train ticket obediently. However, he worked until after nine o'clock that night before going to bed. If it weren't for the old lady at the second courtyard scolding him at the door, he would have worked all night.

The next day, Lu Jiaxin and Xue Mao also went to see him off. Knowing that he was thrifty, Lu Jiaxin bought him fruits and biscuits and other food, and asked Xue Maoze to bake thirty pancakes and boil twenty eggs.

Zhao Dajun had no choice but to accept the offer, but he still had to say, "Miss Lu, making money is not easy, so you should spend it frugally in the future! Otherwise, when you need money, you won't be able to take it out, and it will be too late to regret it then."

Zhao Dajun wanted to say no, but Gu Wenfeng said before him, "Dajun, why don't you thank Miss Lu quickly?"

From what he had seen in the past few days, he could tell that this girl was smart, capable, thoughtful, and most importantly, she dared to think and act. With her family background, she would definitely go far in the future. Who knows, this promise of hers might come in handy in the future.

Zhao Dajun was very puzzled, but he still thanked Gu Wenfeng under his urging.

Gu Wenfeng bought a sleeper ticket, and Lu Jiaxin paid for the fare. After he sat down, he felt that the luggage took up too much space, so he put the fruit and dry food Lu Jiaxin gave him into the luggage bag. Unexpectedly, when he opened the bag, he saw an envelope on the top, and when he opened the envelope, he saw a stack of money inside.

Although Gu Wenfeng and Zhao Wenfeng were both sent by the Xie family, Lu Jiaxin naturally wanted to show her appreciation for the fact that they had been running around and helping to repair the house these days. However, she knew that Zhao Dajun was a stubborn person and would not accept it if she gave it to him directly.

Zhao Dajun took the money and shook his head slightly: "Alas, this girl is too generous. With such a vicious stepmother, she doesn't even know how to save the money."

The stepmother was shrewd and resourceful, and this girl was no match for her. When she came of age, she probably wouldn't be able to get money from Lu's father, but he had advised her many times but she wouldn't listen. He didn't plan to use the money, and would return it when he found a chance.

After Zhao Dajun left, Lu Jiaxin no longer had any worries. When they got home, the three of them went into the house to dismantle the kang.

Gu Wenfeng saw the hole and looked at Lu Jiaxin deeply. Before coming, he thought Lu Jiaxin was a naive child. If there was a treasure hidden in the secret passage, the Sun family would not know it. He did not object and listened to her arrangements to find out the news, hoping that she would give up quickly and return to Sijiu City as soon as possible. He never thought that the Sun family really had a secret passage.

Now that we have the secret passage, the treasure is most likely real.

Xue Mao opened his mouth wide enough to fit an egg in it: "Sister, where did you get this information?"

Lu Jiaxin naturally wouldn't say that she knew it from the future. This was her deepest secret: "Let's go down and take a look."

Gu Wenfeng shook his head and said, "This secret passage must have been sealed for many years. I don't know if it will be dangerous to go down there. Let him clear the way first. I will go down after lunch to explore the way. If there is no problem, you can go down later."

Lu Jiaxin understood immediately that they were worried that the secret passage was not ventilated and they would be short of oxygen if they went down now. She was very afraid of taking risks and was unwilling to let them take risks: "There is no rush. Let's wait until everyone gets off work in the afternoon before going down to investigate. This way it will be safer."

Sun Xun didn't get into trouble that year, so there shouldn't be any problem. But they weren't in a hurry, so it would be better to wait for half a day and ventilate the room.

Gu Wenfeng was still worried that she would go down now, but he was relieved to hear this. This girl had a bad temper but acted very sensibly: "Okay, let's go down and take a look in the evening."
