Chapter 292: Grandfather's Old House
After returning home and having breakfast, Yu Song didn't say much about going to Sandai Mountain to find Xu Da and the others. He just told his sister that he would go to Cigou Village for a stroll in a few days and then went to bed.
Tan Langxu glanced at his younger brother Tan Yanlin, and the two brothers went into the house to chat for a while.
Tan Yanlin walked out of the room and saw Yu Hongdou whispering with Mo Shougui. He walked over slowly and heard Yu Hongdou talking about the "crystal ball".
"If I had known this would happen, I would have gone with you." Mo Shougui never expected that his disciple would encounter such a strange thing during a trip to the ruins, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
"My brother will definitely ask Uncle Xu and the others to pack everything up, and we will go to Cigou Village together in a couple of days. The fruits in the mountains are ripe now, so we can just treat it as an outing." Yu Hongdou promised the teacher confidently.
Mo Shougui gave her a sidelong look and said, "Don't be so confident."
He finally discovered that his little disciple was an accident-prone person and always had to go through some trouble whenever he went out.
Yu Hongdou was speechless. How could she be blamed for this? It was all a side effect of the time traveler's halo.
Not to mention her, even Tian Manman and the fellow chemistry graduate student who traveled through time for no reason also had frequent accidents.
"People who are too smart will always get themselves involved in events because of some clues." Tan Yanlin defended Yu Hongdou.
Yu Hongdou nodded wildly. Of course, it was her fault for being so bold.
Mo Shougui looked at Tan Yanlin and smiled, pointing at the two of them: "You don't have to be in collusion with each other, I know you have a good relationship through thick and thin."
Tan Yanlin also smiled, glanced at Yu Hongdou, and nodded openly: "We are indeed good friends."
Yu Hongdou imitated Mo Shougui and squinted at him, but finally she laughed too. How could it be bad? They had reached a strategic cooperation.
The two people who had just been in danger must keep quiet for the next two days and wait for the guards to come, but with such a small yard, it would definitely be boring to stay at home.
Thinking of the clues provided by Brother Suozi and the others when they came back last night, Yu Hongdou simply took Tan Yanlin to take a walk in her grandfather's yard.
"We were settled here five years ago, and now the house is not dilapidated at all. Has it been repaired later?" Tan Yanlin was amazed at the house that had been uninhabited for many years but did not look dilapidated.
"It hasn't been overhauled, but my uncle will hire someone to check it twice a year. When there were many outsiders in the village, the village chief even discussed with my uncle about renting out the house for a while, and we cleaned it thoroughly inside and out."
Yu Hongdou was amazed as she looked at the stone house. The ingenuity and beauty of ancient handicrafts were far beyond what later generations could achieve.
"I have never met this grandfather, but I heard that he has very delicate craftsmanship. My uncle inherited his dexterity and craftsmanship, which is why he makes paper-cuts so beautifully."
After bragging about his grandfather whom he had never met, he started talking about his uncle.
Tan Yanlin had never seen how clever and skillful Yu Hongdou's uncle was, but just by looking at Pan Bao, he knew that his parents must also be talented people.
"Let's go in and take a look." To be honest, Yu Hongdou had never been inside the house to take a close look at its interior.
Because he had just had a fright in the mountains, everyone in the family was worried.
They were just wandering around the village. Changhe and Qingzhu who were left at home this time, as well as Tan Yanlin and Tan Langxu's guards, and Qian Sanmei all came along.
"Miss, I'll go open the door." Qingzhu took the lead and stood in front of the door of the stone house.
Yu Hongdou's eyes swept across the yard. The yard of this house was very large, and mint and perilla were planted at the base of the wall in front of the house. It was estimated that these were planted by her uncle to prevent mosquitoes.
In addition, the places where vegetables were originally grown are now planted with peppers and chilies, which are probably planted by the villagers wherever they can find space.
There was a lock hanging outside the double-leaf wooden door, and the keys to the lock were divided into three groups: one for the village chief, one for Pan Dongliang, and one for Xu.
Qingsong opened the lock with the key and was about to push the door open, but was stopped by Qian Sanmei.
"Miss, look~" Qian Sanmei pointed to the threshold below the right door.
Everyone looked in the direction, and Changhe and the others all had puzzled expressions. Yu Hongdou and Tan Yanlin lowered their heads, then looked at each other tacitly.
It seemed that a "noble person" had indeed lived in this house, because there was a barb on the threshold with a string about an inch long hanging on it.
The thread is only as thick as a hair, but its bright color can be seen at a glance. It is obvious that the clothes and accessories that use this thread must be extraordinary.
"Even we wouldn't dare wear such clothes when we go out. It's too eye-catching." Tan Yanlin shook his head, thinking that anyone dressed so ostentatiously must be a visiting merchant.
"That may not be the case. What if there is a powerful person with a high status who is not afraid of trouble?" Yu Hongdou muttered softly.
Tan Yanlin was stunned. It was obvious that there was something else behind these words, but she hadn't revealed it before.
When Yu Hongdou said this, she hadn't actually thought it through. She only realized it after she had said it. She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but further explanation seemed unnecessary, so she just smiled awkwardly.
Tan Yanlin thought more about it. It was obvious that she had complaints in her heart. Besides her brothers, the only powerful people she had met who were "not afraid of trouble" were probably...
This is not the place to talk, so Tan Yanlin looked around and didn't say much.
With Yu Hongdou's consent, Qian Sanmei took off the hairpin from her head, bent over to pick up the thread and wrapped it in a handkerchief, then allowed Changhe Qingsong and the others to go into the house first to check.
The house has four rooms. There is a door between the two middle rooms, leading to the stove. There is a doorway directly on the wall next to the stove, leading to the room of the old couple of the Pan family.
There are two single doors on the left and right sides of the room, one for the daughter and the other for the son.
"This should be the fire wall. When the stove is burning in the winter, the whole wall will be warm and the room will not be cold." Yu Hongdou felt a little nostalgic when she saw such a room.
She lived in a house like this when she was a child at her grandmother's house, and buried a few sweet potatoes in the stove pit in the winter.
The most relaxing time for her is when she lies on the kang, holding a black roasted sweet potato and watching cartoons.
Tan Yanlin was puzzled: "What about summer? Wouldn't it be too hot if we burn the stove?"
"Oh, in summer we don't use the stove inside the house, we use the one outside. Didn't you see there is a firewood shed outside?" Yu Hongdou explained, pointing outside the door.
Tan Yanlin looked in the direction he was looking and indeed saw a pile of firewood, but the pile was a little too small.
"There are also holes in the kang in the house. In the summer, you have to light a fire from time to time, otherwise the kang will be damp." Yu Hongdou stepped into the house, bent down and pointed at the place where the head of the kang was blocked by a wooden board.
The wooden board was originally poking out in front of the kang hole. Her finger accidentally touched it, and the board collapsed to the ground, revealing the pitch-black kang hole inside.
Yu Hongdou was not scared by the sound of the wooden board falling to the ground, but when she looked towards the kang hole, she was scared half to death by the flashing light inside.
