Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

"Hiss~ Lao He, where did this guy come from? He's not trying to trick our yellow croaker, is he?"

The tall and thin man returned to his side and told his side what Xu Changping could exchange for. Immediately, someone raised an objection.

"What a joke. We can't buy food right now. It's not that we don't have connections. Who dares to cheat us?"

"That's right. With so many of us, what are we afraid of? As long as there is something, it'll be fine. Besides, the trading location hasn't been decided yet."

"Okay, let me first count what everyone wants. They said they'll only sell it this once, so you guys should think about what you want."

The tall and thin man suppressed everyone's discussion and said.

"I want two bags of milk powder and 50 kilograms of pork..."

"I want 150 kilograms of coarse grains and 200 kilograms of fine grains...

"I want...."

Everyone gathered around the tall and thin man and talked about what they wanted.

"Don't make noise, come and register one by one."

The tall and thin man was annoyed by the noise and said angrily. The people who were still making noises suddenly quieted down and quickly lined up.

Xu Changping didn't wait long before a tall and thin man came to him with some papers.

"Little brother, look at these things, do you have enough?"

Xu Changping flipped through some papers. There were sixteen items in total, and basically every item contained apples, milk powder, and pork.

It seemed that these people really had the goods. He quickly calculated that including the man who came at the beginning, these people wanted a total of:

3000 kilograms of coarse grains, 2000 kilograms of fine grains, 800 apples, 350 kilograms of pork, 80 kilograms of brown sugar, and 40 bags of milk powder.

"Brother, these things cost 4550 small yellow croakers."

"Well, don't worry, we'll settle with the big yellow croaker."

"Okay, let's do the deal tonight. I'll be waiting for you here at 9: pm."

After saying that, Xu Changping didn't wait for the other party to answer. He turned around and walked out of the ghost market, running towards the dead end where he had collected the bicycles before.

Just when he was collecting his bicycles, he saw an abandoned yard there.

He planned to hide there today and not go back to the courtyard. If there were no problems at night, he would trade directly there.

Xu Changping quickly hid in the yard, left the tattered door ajar, and then looked around the place carefully in the dim light of early morning.

The whole yard doesn't look big, it should be a one-entry yard, but the house here looks half collapsed, there is a hole on the left and a pit on the right on the ground, it must have been hit by a shell in the past.

After Xu Changping took a turn, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

How could there be such a small yard in this location? Logically, those who lived here in the past were all rich families, and every family would have three or five courtyards.

Could it be that this was the place where some high-ranking official in the past kept a mistress?

But it doesn't look like it. Although it is dilapidated now, you can still vaguely see that it was not built exquisitely in the past.

Thinking of this, Xu Changping couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. This place looked more like a treasure trove built by some high-ranking official.

Doesn't that mean there is probably a secret room here too?

He immediately became excited when he thought of the gold he had found in the secret room in the ear room.

Soon he suppressed his excitement, walked back to the door and carefully observed the yard.

Soon he turned his attention to the strange rocky hills in the yard. Why put a rockery in this not-so-refined little courtyard? It looked very abrupt.

Xu Changping walked around the rockery, touching here and there, but found nothing unusual for a long time.

As the sky gradually brightened, sounds could be heard from the houses nearby. Xu Changping didn't dare to wander around any more, in case he was discovered.

Xu Changping found a room that was not too severely collapsed and closed the door.

I bought a tent from the system and set it up behind the door. I also bought a sleeping bag, then I got in and fell into a deep sleep.

After a good sleep, Xu Changping found that it was already noon outside.

He bought a bowl of green pepper and shredded pork rice from the system, ate it, and drank a bottle of Coke before he packed up his tent and sleeping bag.

I took a look at the time in the system and found that it was just after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, people who went to work had left, and those who had nothing to do were just staying at home and warming themselves by the fire.

Xu Changping wrapped himself tightly and went out again, walking around the rockery.

For nearly an hour, Xu Changping searched every nook and cranny of the rockery, and almost rubbed it clean, but he found nothing.

Sitting on the steps at the door, Xu Changping rubbed his forehead and couldn't help but wonder if he was wrong. This might just be an ordinary house, or the entrance to the secret room was inside the house.

Ok?

What's going on there.

As Xu Changping was thinking, he suddenly saw a protruding object in the southeast direction, buried in the snow, which looked like a tree stump.

Yes, I can see that this rockery is abrupt, can't others see it?

Thinking of this, Xu Changping quickly walked to the bulge buried by the snow, dug it open with his hands, and sure enough, he found a tree stump underneath.

He couldn't tell what kind of tree it was, but judging from the size of the stump, he knew it must be quite large. It was most likely sawed down by someone nearby. He just didn't know whether it was used to burn firewood or to make furniture.

Xu Changping took out a shovel from the system space and deftly shoveled away the snow around the tree stump. As a result, he found that the ground around it was clean and there was not a single stone.

The absence of anything made Xu Changping feel even more abnormal, but for a moment, he couldn't figure out where the entrance to the secret room was.

Leaning against the wall, he angrily thrust the shovel in his hand into the ground.

"Qiang~~"

The sound of metal clashing rang in Xu Changping's ears like thunder.

Ha ha ha ha.....

Xu Changping opened his mouth and laughed silently. This is really "After many twists and turns, you may think there is no way out, but when you turn around, you will find another village", "You have searched everywhere for something, but it is easy to find it."

After laughing enough, he quickly squatted down and started digging with his hands at the place where he had just inserted the shovel.

Soon, an inconspicuous object that looked like a stone appeared in front of Xu Changping.

Xu Changping pushed the stone first from left to right and then from right to left, but the stone did not move at all.

Unable to push it up, down, left or right, Xu Changping pressed down hard, and the stone sank into the ground.

Xu Changping was extremely surprised. He searched the area for a long time but couldn't find any entrance. He felt a little discouraged.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Xu Changping couldn't help shivering. He looked at the time and found that he had been outside for two hours, and it was almost time for people who worked nearby to go home.

Xu Changping was not going to stay outside and wanted to restore the stone to its original state, but he couldn't get the stone out no matter what he did.

Hearing the sound of people talking around him, Xu Changping kicked the wall behind him angrily, and returned to the room where he slept in the morning, ready to look for it carefully at night.
