After the explanation, Lu Qingzhu was escorted out, and the attention of the twenty-odd people was all on the other boxes.
Lu Qingzhu became curious, wondering if there was more than one secret room in such a house, so he went upstairs when no one was watching.
There were quite a few rooms upstairs, but they were all demolished in pieces. Even a lot of the wall plaster had been dug up, and the door and window frames had been dug out. Lu Qingzhu was stunned. What could they do with the window frames that had been dug out? To start a fire?
The most tragic room was a study-like room. Not only were the bookshelves on the wall removed, but a huge hole was also dug in the wall, almost through it.
Perhaps those people were also wondering if they could find a secret room or other hidden things in this small study?
Lu Qingzhu looked at the pile of dust that had been dug up, shook her head, and continued exploring.
There were more than a dozen rooms on the second floor. Lu Qingzhu didn't miss a single one and carefully looked at each one. There were two toilets, one in front and one in back.
Walking to the toilet on the left, he went in to take a look. It was originally quite clean, but the sinks and faucets had been removed. However, Lu Qingzhu noticed something different when he came in, even though a lot of the paint on the walls had been peeled off.
That uneven wall had one particularly attractive feature: at the corner, there was a brick that looked exactly the same, but there were no seams around it.
Lu Qingzhu stretched out her foot and kicked the brick. Suddenly, there was a loud crash, which attracted the attention of the Tiger Battalion soldiers downstairs.
It wasn't just one wall shaking; the entire building was trembling. The Tiger Battalion members were carefully counting the bombs when the shaking startled them. They thought they had accidentally knocked off the safety pin.
Fortunately, the commotion subsided after a short while. The battalion commander of the Dragon Tiger Battalion sent two men upstairs to check what was going on, only to find that their regimental commander's son was studying a brick, and that the commotion was caused by the regimental commander's son.
"Brothers, I don't know where you were from just now, could you help me look for it?" Lu Qingzhu smiled strangely, which startled the two young men from the Fierce Tiger Camp, but they also helped to look after hearing the commotion.
The three of them quickly found the source of the commotion: the floor of the study that had been torn up and was now in disrepair.
The two were a little stunned when they saw the open floorboards in the study. Lu Qingzhu also curiously craned her neck forward and found that the room was filled with boxes, and that the boxes had even been used to make stairs.
"Wow, what are these? Brothers, shall we go down and take a look?" Lu Qingzhu had already stuck out one foot, eager to step in, but was grabbed back by the collar.
"You brat, always rushing ahead, watch out or your dad will spank you." Zhang Jianshe, a soldier from the Fierce Tiger Battalion, dragged Lu Qingzhu downstairs by tucking her under his arm.
"Ouch, ouch, Brother Jianshe, be gentle, you're about to break my neck!" Lu Qingzhu cried out exaggeratedly, but he didn't stop and quickly went downstairs. He knew that these things wouldn't be his anyway, so he just wanted to see what was inside. He also had an idea in mind: he could come secretly without anyone else, so that what he found would be his own. Hmm, he could even bring Weiwei along.
"You brat, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Don't come here again. This might be a stronghold for those enemy agents. Be careful or I'll chop your hand off." Zhang Jianshe wasn't threatening him. After all, if these things and enemy agents could appear in this place once, they could appear again. They understood the principle that the most dangerous place is the safest place.
"Commander, we've found something upstairs again..." Zhang Jianshe dragged the little brat directly in front of his father and safely returned him to his dad.
"What, was the commotion upstairs just now?" Because Lu Zhining was injured, everyone didn't want him to move, so they told him to stay downstairs and wait until they cleared the things out before letting him see them.
He had also heard the noise, but he wasn't able to move around easily, so he didn't go to look for it.
"That noise just now was because Xiaozhuzi found a floor tile near the toilet. That kid is a rascal; he actually went and stepped on that tile. But the mechanism that the tile opened was actually in that dilapidated study, right under the floor."
Those boxes didn't look like they contained weapons; they resembled the two locked boxes inside the room. Since only a few of us were upstairs, we didn't go down to check what was inside. Please give instructions, Commander." Zhang Jianshe reported the situation upstairs and awaited orders.
"Meng Dong, how's the tidying up inside going? We've found something upstairs. If it's done, go up and take a look." Lu Zhiming knew they wouldn't let her go up, so he directly called for the commander of the Fierce Tiger Battalion.
"Commander, it's almost done here. Everything is recorded in this file. Take a look first. I'll go upstairs to check." Hearing the voice, Meng Dong came out of the secret room with a notebook in his hand. After handing the notebook to the leader, he followed Zhang Jianshe upstairs.
Lu Qingzhu followed along upstairs, and Meng Dong knew he was coming, but he didn't say anything. This kid was just too curious; otherwise, he wouldn't have discovered this place. So they let him come along. At most, if there was any danger, the rest of them would protect him.
"Brother Meng, have you opened the other wooden boxes? What's inside them? And what's inside those two locked boxes?" Lu Qingzhu really wanted to know what was inside those two boxes, but she couldn't bear to give up the chance to go upstairs with them.
"If you're so curious, why don't you go down and see?" Meng Dong chuckled and ruffled the brat's short hair, then smiled and prepared to pull him downstairs.
Lu Qingzhu darted past Meng Dong's hand and went upstairs first: "Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong. I was just thinking that after you went upstairs, you could open those boxes and let me see what was inside. They were hidden so well, I could just go downstairs and see them later."
Meng Dong watched the little rascal dart upstairs like a monkey and smiled helplessly.
After Meng Dong entered the study, he looked at the open floorboards, took a flashlight and shone it inside. It was full of boxes. He only needed to step on two boxes to see everything. He wondered how many more layers were underneath.
Meng Dong took a dagger from his boot and pried open the lock. The light that shone from inside the box as he opened it blinded him.
"Wow, this is blinding! If all of these are big yellow croakers, how much is that? Old Meng is going to be rich, rich!" Lu Qingzhu's eyes lit up immediately when she saw the box of gold. If it was all gold, how much would that be?
