Old man Guan, who was hiding in the pile of firewood, didn't expect that Zhao Yu had also gone out. He didn't know whether it was God's help or Zhao Yu was just lucky.
This is fine, what better revenge is there than to see your own home fall to pieces?
The gate was not locked, so Old Man Guan went straight in through the gate and arrived at the backyard. He was not familiar with the terrain and it took him a while to find the location of the vegetable cellar. He took out a flashlight and opened the cellar. Old Man Guan went down the ladder and shone the flashlight around the cellar. There were two jars inside and nothing else.
Old Man Guan opened the two jars, but they were empty.
After the vat was moved away, Old Man Guan stepped on the ground. The ground was solid, so there should be no dark room or anything like that.
Old Man Guan...That's impossible. I clearly saw them coming down to get something last night.
The flashlight shone on the wall behind the jar. Old man Guan was lying on the wall looking for it. He climbed up so quickly, so the thing couldn't be hidden that deep.
Old Man Guan pressed his face against the wall, searching inch by inch. He was not afraid at all. He knew that it was impossible for the other members of the Zhao family to come back so soon. He could still deal with Zhao Yu alone.
After searching the tank, Old Man Guan looked around. It was pitch black, with only the light from the flashlight. If it was him, where would he hide?
Old Man Guan thought for a moment, then went down and looked on the wall behind the ladder. He felt around inch by inch and finally found a bulge.
Old Guan grinned, grabbed the bulge with his fingers, and pulled it out. It was a small door, with yellow mud on the outside, the same color as the surrounding earthen walls.
Inside was a hole about one meter square. The wall was made of cement, and there were two camphorwood boxes inside. One of them had a copper lock on it. Old Man Guan took out the upper box, and it was empty. It should have been the one that contained the porcelain before. Old Man Guan looked at the two boxes and laughed angrily. Even the items used to store things were stolen from his house. They had a lot of camphorwood boxes at home. This kind of box was insect-proof and moisture-proof, and wealthy families liked it very much.
Old Man Guan moved the locked box out. The box was heavy, and the box itself was heavier. He shook it for a while and found something inside. Seeing that there was nothing else in the hole, he put the empty box in and closed the door again. Old Man Guan took off his clothes, wrapped the box, and wanted to tie the box to his body and carry it on his back, but it was so heavy that he couldn't lift it.
But the sleeves of the clothes were a bit short and could not be tied on his body. Old Man Guan took off his trousers, which made the trouser legs longer, so he could barely tie it on. However, it was not very stable at first. Old Man Guan took off his underpants, tied the box firmly on his body, put on the red triangular basket, and climbed up the ladder.
It took a lot of effort to get out of the cellar, and he almost wore his pants off. When he came out, Old Man Guan shivered, the wind made his butt cold, and there was no movement in the front yard. He wondered where Zhao Yu had gone.
Old man Guan came to the front yard carrying a large box on his back. There was no other way. He could still walk with it on his back, but if he took it down, he couldn't hold the box. He wanted to throw the box over the wall, but he couldn't either. He didn't want the box anymore, as he didn't have the energy to open it.
When he walked to the front yard, he heard footsteps at the door. Old Man Guan supported his old waist and quickly hid in the main room. The two children of the Zhao family were in a hurry to go out, so the door was not closed, which made it convenient for Old Man Guan.
Old man Guan entered the east room and sat down on the kang, gasping for breath. It was too heavy, it was almost killing him. He had no tools and couldn't open the lock on it, and now he couldn't move.
It was Zhao Yu who had returned. He had been knocking on the captain's door for a long time. Finally, the captain got up and opened the door. When he heard that Zhao Yu wanted to ask the villagers for help, the captain told him to go to his work unit, as the village couldn't help. So he closed the door and no matter how much he knocked, the captain would not open it.
Their household registration is not in the village, so they are not considered villagers. They are usually arrogant and don't interact with the villagers. They even look down on him, the team leader, and have no feelings for the villagers. Now the team leader doesn't care about them at all. Even if Zhao Daming is dead, what does it have to do with the village?
Zhao Yu had no choice but to return home. The house looked as if he had just left, with no news at all. He was extremely anxious. After walking around the yard twice, he went to knock on the neighbor's door.
