Chapter 12: Rebirth as an Orphan (VI)
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered what the original owner's father had said in the letter, so she went to the study.
She pushed open the door of the study and saw that the furnishings inside were very simple. Apart from a table and a chair, there was a large bookshelf against the wall. There were no books on the shelf, only some messy sundries.
She walked to the bookshelf and searched through it. Finally, she found a puppy standing on a wooden board at the innermost left side of the bottom shelf. It was really super small, only the size of her thumb. You have to know how big a child's thumb can be, so you can see how small this puppy is.
Lu Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry to get the puppy. She was only about 1.4 meters tall, so she had to squat down and stick her head inside to see the puppy. It would be basically impossible for an adult to find it. The original owner's father had prepared this specially for the original owner.
After she closed the door of the study, she took out a flashlight from the space, and then reached out to pick up the puppy, but she couldn't pick up the puppy even after using a lot of strength. She wondered if the puppy could not be taken out and was a mechanism.
Lu Xiaoxiao became excited when she thought of this. She had never experienced such a thing in her past life or this life. It was like a treasure hunt game where she had to overcome many difficulties before she could win.
She put the flashlight on the ground and rubbed her palms together for a while before turning the puppy. She only turned it gently and saw the bookshelf move, so she turned it harder and found that the bookshelf turned 90 degrees like the revolving door of the hotel before stopping.
Lu Xiaoxiao shone the flashlight inside and saw only a pile of boxes and nothing else.
She went in and looked around and found that the boxes were all the same size and style, except for one that was particularly small, probably the size of two adult palms.
Lu Xiaoxiao went forward to open the box and found a letter, a house certificate and twenty bundles of great unity inside. The handwriting on the envelope was the same as the one found at home, and even the words "My son's personal letter" were the same.
She opened the letter and read it. The general content said that these things were passed down from ancestors. Due to the war, her father was the only one left in the original owner's lineage. After the situation stabilized, all the things were secretly brought here and hidden.
Because of the special nature of their work, they didn't know when an accident might happen, so they wrote these two letters to tell the original owner this place and asked her not to tell anyone. She could take these things out and use them when she grew up and was capable. The 2,000 yuan in the box was for the original owner's daily use, and told her not to go to the bank to withdraw money before she reached adulthood, for fear of being targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
Also, he felt that someone was targeting their family, and their deaths were most likely not accidents, so he asked the original owner to be careful.
It seems that the original owner's father would write a new letter every once in a while, telling the original owner what to do at the moment. Although she is not the original owner, she can also feel the deep love of a father.
Lu Xiaoxiao folded the letter again and put it in the box. Then she picked up the house certificate and saw that the information on it was for this courtyard. She guessed that this was the same thing as the real estate certificate.
After she put the house certificate back into the box, she put the box into the space, put it together with the previous letter, and then she began to check the other boxes.
Lu Xiaoxiao opened all the boxes and found that ten of them were filled with large yellow croakers, ten boxes were filled with small yellow croakers, and the remaining ten boxes were three boxes of antiques, two boxes of books, two boxes of uncarved jade, one box of carved jade jewelry, one box of jewelry inlaid with various gemstones, and the last box was polished but not inlaid diamonds. Even though she was born into a wealthy family in her previous life, she was shocked.
She wondered what the original owner's ancestors did. They must have been very wealthy to have been able to preserve so many things after generations of use.
