However, Chen Ye also knew why the cabinet had not been moved away even though it looked fine. It was something that was about to fall apart after being touched. No one probably wanted it.
The wood used for this kind of cabinet is very hard. Not only is it difficult to split, but it is also difficult to burn.
Chen Ye looked around the cabinet for a long time and finally decided to move it to take a look. Fortunately, she was strong enough, otherwise she would never be able to move the cabinet by herself.
After moving the cabinet away, Chen Ye looked carefully at the wall behind it, but after looking for a long time, he could not see any difference. He even lay on the bluestone slabs on the ground and looked at them carefully. There was definitely no secret compartment or mechanism.
That's not right!
It shouldn't be!
Chen Ye glanced at the wall behind the cabinet and estimated it with his eyes, then went straight into the cellar and moved a stool with him.
The old couple were sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool air and accompany their granddaughter. When their granddaughter came out, she didn't see them and just walked around the two rooms.
He was even more frightened by the loud thud of the cabinet door falling to the ground. He quickly walked to the window and looked into the house. He saw his little granddaughter struggling against a broken cabinet leaning against the wall.
The old couple looked at each other, wondering if their little granddaughter had discovered something, or if she just didn't like the cabinet and wanted to chop it up for firewood. The wood wouldn't burn. If it had been burnable, they would have had their son, Xiao Si, chop it up a few days ago.
Before the old couple could figure out what their granddaughter was going to do, they saw her coming out in a hurry, picking up a stool and going to the cellar again. The old couple became even more curious and simply followed her.
Just as the two were about to go down the cellar, they saw the little granddaughter running out of the cellar in a hurry again, almost bumping into the old man walking in front. Chen Ye hurriedly supported his grandfather and patted his heart which was beating fast with fear.
The baby was so scared that she almost knocked her grandfather down. With her strength, she would definitely hurt the old man.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
Grandpa Cen quickly waved his hands: "It's okay, it's okay, what are you doing going back and forth? Do you need my help?"
Chen Ye glanced at the eagerness in his grandparents' eyes and nodded with a bit of amusement: "Okay, wait for me to go get some tools. It's a little dim down there with the lights on, so you two should go slowly."
"Okay, go find the tools quickly. Your grandma and I will go downstairs and wait for you."
Chen Ye's tools were all in the back room and were quickly brought over. When Chen Ye went down to the cellar, he saw his grandparents waiting obediently by the side, which fully demonstrated that the two of them would definitely not make trouble.
"Dabao, what did you discover?" The old man was so curious that he couldn't help but ask directly.
Chen Ye didn't hide it: "I just went up and saw this small room at the entrance of the cellar. I didn't like it. It felt too small and useless. So I thought about connecting the rooms on both sides and turning it into a storage room."
"When I observed the construction, I discovered that the areas of the two rooms didn't match the building area at all. There was a difference of at least three square meters. I checked the wall in the middle and it was absolutely normal. So where did the missing area go?"
The old man and the old lady had both seen the world, so they understood what their granddaughter said. "You suspect there's a secret room between these two rooms?"
"Yes, but I couldn't find the entrance. Then I remembered that the cellar was just below the two rooms. I looked to see if there was an entrance through the cellar roof."
Chen Ye knocked around with a small hammer and soon found the source of the wrong sound. She took out the flashlight from her pocket and carefully observed the ceiling of the cellar.
Soon she discovered something was wrong. She took out a small crowbar from her toolbox and pried at the gap. After changing directions several times, the three of them heard a click.
The three of them showed joy on their faces and opened their eyes wide at the same time, wanting to see what this thing hidden so tightly was.
But the old man still asked, "Hasn't this place been searched thoroughly before?" The old man still knew about the house.
Chen Ye nodded. "Just look at how empty the house is. You can tell they've searched it thoroughly. But the entrance is on the cellar ceiling. No one would have thought there'd be a hidden secret room here."
"If you don't look closely, you won't be able to tell that the space in the house is wrong. I might be sensitive to digital space distances, so I noticed it. If I hadn't thought of connecting the house, I wouldn't have noticed it for a while."
In the time it took to say a few words, a hole opened in the roof. Chen Ye reached out and fumbled around, then pulled out a retractable ladder. When the ladder was fully opened, it was just the right length to reach the floor of the cellar.
Old Master Cen stopped his granddaughter and said, "Wait a minute before going up there. There's probably no ventilation in here. It's a bit dangerous to go in like this."
The three of them waited for a while before Chen Ye climbed up the ladder with a flashlight. Turning on the flashlight, Chen Ye shone it inside and found that it was more than three square meters, and should be even larger. This meant that the middle wall above should be thinner than he expected.
"Dabao, be careful. If it doesn't work, we'll just ask someone to come over and take a look."
"It's okay, this place is closed, there shouldn't be any danger."
Chen Ye first observed it. It seemed that the inside was not wide but quite long. He calculated that it was at least four meters long. There were specially made long and thin boxes placed on both sides. There were at least ten boxes in total, and nothing else.
The flashlight in his hand was a large one bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, which was a bit inconvenient. Chen Ye took out a small homemade flashlight from his pocket, opened it, and held it with his mouth. With his free hand, he could check what was in the box.
The boxes were placed so tightly and were locked. Chen Ye didn't hesitate at all and directly used the small hammer he brought to open the locks. When he opened the first box, Chen Ye was a little stunned.
Is this money? But she doesn't recognize this money. Could it be a foreign currency?
Even if this box is specially made, the height is here, and the box is not much narrower than a normal box. It is neatly stacked with a lot of brand new... money?
Chen Ye opened the box next to him. He knew the things in the box. They were all big black tens! Wow, they were really rich. Chen Ye's saliva almost flowed down. He wanted it.
Before her outstretched paw touched the money, she heard the voices of her grandparents below asking her, "Dabao, is there any danger in there?"
