Chapter 8 Treasures of the Old House



Su Qingxue didn't care much about that little bit of money, but thinking that it was ill-gotten gains, she didn't plan to keep it for them.

I saw two new quilts in the room. They looked like they had never been used, so I put them away. I also found two bags of rice and flour.

I didn't even see any coarse grains. It seemed that these two people were living a pretty good life. I might as well just take the money from them.

Su Qingxue looked around at the used things and didn't like them. She had also collected the money they stole, so she simply walked out of the house.

Looking at the two people lying in the yard, he simply raised his stick and broke one of their legs.

The two unconscious people were awakened by the pain, but their mouths were blocked and they couldn't even shout.

Su Qingxue was worried that they would see her appearance, so she simply hit each of them with a stick, causing them to faint again.

Originally, he was going to leave after finishing the job, but thinking about the robbery he had just done, his remaining conscience got to him, so he picked them up one in each hand and carried them back into the house.

It was already a kindness of mine to bring them in. After all, if they were left lying in the yard, the wall of the yard was not high and they would be easily discovered.

He brushed the non-existent dust off his hands and walked out of the house. He had originally planned to leave immediately, but when he saw the coal briquettes and bundles of firewood beside him, he felt that they should be wasted. Although there were a lot of coal briquettes in the space, he still collected them all, even the firewood.

When you get to the countryside, you must prepare these things yourself. There is no firewood in the space, and coal briquettes alone will not be enough. Now that you have them, you must not waste them.

Su Qingxue felt as if she had experienced the end of the world. Her sense of morality was a little weak and she had no sense of morality. If it were normal times, she might not accept those things at all. But now that she accepted the things, she didn't even feel that she was being excessive.

Suddenly I feel that this is pretty good. As long as I have no morals, others should not try to use morality to blackmail me. As long as I live a good life, that's enough.

After leaving the courtyard, Su Qingxue thought that there were still many things in her old house that had not been put away. To avoid any more trouble, she decided to put those things away now.

The old house is not located in the city, but in a relatively remote place. It is where the Su family lived before they became rich.

After walking for more than two hours, they finally arrived at the Su family's old house. Su Qingxue's body had never walked such a long distance before. In fact, because she had been raised since she was a child, she was very delicate. Even without looking, she knew that she must have blisters on her feet.

The old house is located on a main road outside the city. From a distance, it looks like a dilapidated courtyard, and it is the kind of house that has been abandoned for a long time.

Su Qingxue looked around and after making sure that there was no one there, she took out the key from the space, opened the door, went in, and quickly closed it from the inside.

Maybe no one had been to this yard for a long time, the grass inside was taller than Su Qingxue, and she could even hear sparse sounds coming from the grass after she entered.

I felt like there must be some small animals in there, and the first thought that came to my mind was a snake.

Fortunately, she has wood-related abilities. Although it is only level one, it is still very useful.

He simply used his wood-related ability to extract the vitality from the grass on the path he was going to pass.

Soon, a road paved with withered hay appeared before our eyes.

Even in the bushes on both sides of the road, no sound of small animals walking could be heard. I didn't know whether they were scared away or just stood there and dared not move.

The yard of the old house is quite large, but there are not many houses, only a row of five brick houses. There should have been vegetable fields and toilets behind the yard.

He walked straight into the brick house and found the mechanism in the basement of the old house according to his memory. After opening the mechanism, a passage appeared underground.

This basement hasn't been opened for decades.

Even if the house upstairs had been renovated, the old house had definitely never been opened, so Su Qingxue didn't dare to go down immediately, fearing for her life.

After about half an hour, they finally walked down quietly.

Although the yard above seems small, this basement can be said to have hollowed out the entire yard and the open space on the side.

Walking down the stairs, I didn't expect that the basement was quite deep. After walking up more than ten stairs, I turned a corner and walked down another ten stairs.

Standing in the basement and looking up, it feels like it's at least ten to twenty meters high.

I took out a flashlight from the space, but it was too dark and I couldn't see clearly.

I turned on the flashlight and looked around. I didn’t expect this place to be so big, but the basement didn’t seem to be full.

Su Qingxue was a little disappointed. She thought the entire basement was full of treasures!

Although it was not full, there were still a lot of things. There were about 300 boxes of various sizes, and even sacks of food.

I originally thought that after several decades, the food must be inedible.

But when I opened the sacks and took a look, I found that these bricks were made of grain. They were packed in the sacks and were even harder than cement bricks.

Su Qingxue seemed to have an impression in her mind. She remembered hearing somewhere that when some families stored grain at home, they were worried that the grain would not last long, so they made grain bricks directly. Some people even built these grain bricks on the wall. Even if the grain bricks were taken down after decades, they could still be cooked and eaten without causing stomach upset or even death.
