After dinner, Ye Haonan found Ye's mother and told her that their family of four was going on a long trip, and Ye's mother had no objection.
After so long, she has long been accustomed to her second son and daughter-in-law going on long journeys from time to time.
So, early the next morning, after breakfast, Ye Haonan drove a truck with his wife and children to Ming County, Western Province.
Xi Province is located in the mountainous area of the southwestern border and is a place with extremely rich mineral resources.
Ye Haonan had been there several times before, so he was very familiar with the route there.
"Ming County is located in the southernmost part of Western Province. I have only been to the provincial capital of Western Province before and have not had the opportunity to go there.
I heard that Mingxian is a beautiful county surrounded by mountains. We must enjoy it during our visit."
"That's great! I was thinking of going for a nice stroll in the mountains!"
As soon as Chen Ruxue finished speaking, Ye Haonan's grip on the steering wheel tightened instantly, then quickly loosened. "Wife, you're not going there just to see the place where your father-in-law once lived, are you? Are you planning to go treasure hunting again?"
"Yes! I do have this plan. It's because I'm really short of money recently. I have many plans that require money to help me realize them.
So, I have to trouble you to go treasure hunting in the mountains with me again."
Chen Ruxue said this and blinked mischievously, looking very cute.
Ye Haonan couldn't help but be amused by her, "Okay, no matter where you go, I will accompany you!"
It’s true that driving by yourself is much more convenient. Along the way, Ye Haonan was not in a hurry. When he came to a place with delicious food and fun things to do, he could even stop and have fun for a few days.
It feels like a self-driving tour!
After walking around and playing for a month, they finally arrived in Ming County.
After arriving in Ming County and asking the locals, Chen Ruxue finally came to an old-style house.
Looking at the dilapidated but still grand house in front of her, Chen Ruxue's heart trembled slightly. It turned out that this was where Chen Jun had lived since he was a child.
Just as Chen Ruxue was about to go in, she heard an old voice, "Who are you and why are you entering this shabby yard?"
When I looked up, I saw that the person who was speaking was an old man who looked to be over 70 years old.
"Hello, old man! I am the great-granddaughter of the owner of this house. I want to come and see where my father used to live."
"Huh? What did you say? You are Mr. Bai's great-granddaughter? Who is little Chen Jun to you?"
"Chen Jun is my father! Old man, who are you?"
"I am, haha, just an old man!
Not worth mentioning! "
The old man carefully looked at the person in front of him, and after a long time he slowly nodded, "Yes, he does look like little Chen Jun, and also like Mr. Bai.
Where is your father now? Why hasn’t he come back? "
"My dad passed away several years ago."
"He...how is it possible? He is so young, how could he..."
"It was an accident. No one expected it."
"Ah! poor child, how pitiful!
Since you're here, take another good look at this house for your father. I guess it won't be long before this house is gone."
After the old man finished speaking, he turned and left, muttering to himself as he walked, "Everyone I know is gone, all gone..."
"Hey! Old man, old man, please don't leave. I still have something to ask you, old..."
Chen Ruxue wanted to call out to him, but unfortunately, the old man seemed to be deaf to her words and kept walking further away!
"Hey! This old man suddenly appeared just to say a few words, really..."
Chen Ruxue was helpless. Forget it, let’s go into the house and take a look first!
Ye Haonan followed Chen Ruxue into the yard and saw that the house inside was as dilapidated as the gate outside.
Only then did Chen Ruxue understand why the old man said that the house would soon be gone.
However, this house is indeed big, as big as seven or eight courtyards, which shows how rich the people were back then.
When she reached the innermost courtyard, Chen Ruxue stopped and thought: "This is such a shabby house. Even if there were something inside, it would have been taken away. It seems that she will not be able to find anything this time!"
"Host, you are wrong. There is a secret room hidden in the yard where you are standing now."
System Xiaode, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly came online, almost scaring Chen Ruxue to death.
"Xiao De, could you please stop being so mysterious? You almost scared me to death.
Also, let me ask you, where have you been all this time? Why did you disappear for so long?
Didn't you say that you were sent to me by the Bodhisattva to help me? Why did you disappear at the critical moment? Are you worthy of me? Aren't you afraid that the Bodhisattva will blame you?
Chen Ruxue's extreme output made Xiao De feel a little embarrassed, but who is he? He is the boss of the world and the most invincible existence. How could he be defeated by a few words?
"Host, please calm down, be composed, and listen to me carefully!"
"Okay, okay, then tell me..."
"Congratulations, host. This system has been upgrading its skills recently. In order to better help and protect the host, this system has now been completely renewed.
Now, not only can it help you find what you're looking for, but it also has upgraded protection skills, can predict danger, and can automatically defend you from danger. From now on, you, the host, will no longer have to worry about any danger yourself, because you have Xiaodruid to protect you."
"Really? So good?"
"Of course! Absolutely authentic!"
Listening to System Xiaode's words, Chen Ruxue couldn't help but curl her lips, "Okay, I'll trust you again this time!
By the way, didn’t you just say there was a secret room in this yard? Is it true or not? Where is it?”
"It's right under the east room of this courtyard. If you move the brick on the north wall of the east room, you can see the secret room door."
Chen Ruxue first glanced around and made sure that there was no one around before she hurried into the house. Following Xiao De's instructions, she moved the bricks, and sure enough, the ground slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black door.
Not daring to go in rashly, Chen Ruxue first lit a few wooden sticks and then walked inside carefully.
As soon as I entered, I found that there was a small room underground. Apart from a desk, there were a few paintings and a stack of letters.
I don’t know how this secret room was built, but the things stored in it can be kept intact for so long.
Chen Ruxue stretched out her hand and unfolded all the paintings, and she saw that they were all paintings of the same woman, a super beautiful woman.
If you look closely, she looks somewhat similar to you!
"Shh! Why does this woman look so much like me?"
