Rebirth of the Flying Era

It was almost twelve o'clock when Du Fei came out of the general hospital.

He was not in a hurry to go back to his work, but just found a small shop on the street and had a bite to eat.

After filling my stomach, I rode my bike straight to Lao Yang's house.

From the General Hospital, it's not close to Lao Yang's house.

By the time Du Fei finished his meal and rushed over, it was already one o'clock.

Lao Yang and his wife had just finished eating, but they didn't expect Du Fei to come to the door at this time.

Du Fei also saw a young man in his early twenties at their house. He looked about 60% similar to Lao Yang, but was half a head taller.

Du Fei smiled and said, "Is this Zhicheng or Zhigong?"

Lao Yang introduced: "This is the boss Zhicheng!" Then he turned around and shouted: "Come and call Leader Du."

Yang Zhicheng was a little cautious, stepped forward, bowed to Du Fei, and said politely: "Hello, Leader Du."

Du Fei nodded and said to Lao Yang, "There's something happening today, and it's really related to Zhicheng."

When Lao Yang and Ruizhu heard this, their hearts moved.

Du Fei chuckled and said: "The security department of the steel rolling mill is recruiting people, and I asked Zhicheng for a place. Although it is a temporary job, it is also a serious place."

When Lao Yang heard this, he was overjoyed.

In fact, his thoughts were exactly the same as Lei Laoliu's. In the final analysis, he wanted to give his son a decent background.

Du Fei saw exactly what they were thinking.

Even though they were just two temporary workers in the security department, they were more grateful than throwing a thousand dollars in front of them.

After finishing the matter, Du Fei called Lao Yang out, and the two of them rode bicycles to the newly purchased yard near Shichahai.

Lao Yang didn't know what was going on, so he carried his bicycle into the hospital with Du Fei.

He thought about where this place was, and why did Du Fei bring him here?

Du Fei didn't explain to him and locked the door behind his back.

The two bicycles were thrown beside the door, and Lao Yang was led inside.

Come to the east wing of the middle courtyard and open the door directly.

It was filled with all kinds of furniture.

Lao Yang is a carpenter, and he is an expert in furniture and wood.

He could see the general outline of these things in the room with his eyes, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

When talking about mahogany furniture, people will immediately think of red sandalwood and huanghuali.

But for the same red sandalwood and huanghuali, the wood is also good or bad.

Moreover, furniture made from the same wood but with different craftsmanship can be judged differently.

The furniture in this room is undoubtedly top quality in Lao Yang's eyes.

Even looking at the carpentry, most of them came from the palace manufacturing office of the former Qing Dynasty, and they were all made by the royal family.

Lao Yang couldn't help but look at Du Fei on the side, and wanted to ask him where he got so many fine furniture.

But he reacted immediately and swallowed his words in a hurry.

Obviously Du Fei didn't bring him here just to ask him where these things came from.

Lao Yang secretly warned himself to be calm, don't say what he shouldn't say, and don't ask what he shouldn't ask.

Du Fei didn't have much idea, so he pointed at the furniture and asked Lao Yang to see if there was anything fake.

Lao Yang didn't dare to neglect and quickly went into the house to check carefully.

Although he felt at a glance that these pieces of furniture were all high-quality products, he did not dare to show off in front of Du Fei.

At least he had to show off, otherwise it would be bad if Du Fei felt that he was being slighted.

Lao Yang went into the house and took a walk.

After a long while, I came out and swore that the furniture inside was all high-quality, and there was no piece of furniture that I couldn't sell.

Du Fei nodded, not too surprised.

The real purpose of bringing Lao Yang here was not to look at the furniture, but to check whether there were secret rooms or other places in the yard.

He had promised to go out before and would lend this place to Zhou Peng for a period of time next month.

Before that, Lao Yang must take a look.

To avoid being manipulated by that guy Zhou Peng.

When Du Fei was buying this yard, Zhou Peng also showed interest, but Du Fei beat him to it.

This time he borrowed the yard from him again. Although Du Fei didn't ask him what he was doing, he was still suspicious in his heart.

Especially if Zhou Peng already knew what secrets there were in this yard, he borrowed them and acted secretly.

Wait for Du Fei to understand.

In his heart, Lao Yang felt that Du Fei was a little whimsical.

Although wealthy families in the past liked to have a secret room to hide some gold, silver and other items.

But how could such an important place be forgotten so easily.

Besides, the owner of the front yard has lived here for more than a year or two.

Counting from the ancestors of the Jin family, they have lived there for more than a hundred years, and there have been several renovations in the meantime.

Even if there really is a secret room, can it still be kept until now for Du Fei to find out?

But Lao Yang just thought about these words in his heart.

On the surface, he looked solemn and began to carefully inspect every corner of the yard.

Du Fei was a little curious and followed closely behind.

Although it is only a span, there are three entrances and three exits, and there are many rooms and areas.

However, Lao Yang also has a knack. He is very familiar with the regulations of ancient buildings and knows where to carefully inspect and where to take a quick look.

Even if there is a secret room or something in the courtyard, it must not be a place for servants and guests to live.

The probability of putting it in the upper room is not high.

Because once a thief comes in, regardless of stealing or robbing, the upper room where the owner lives will definitely be the target of focus.

Just like the courtyard where Du Fei lives now.

The secret underground chamber was placed under the west wing of the backyard.

However, the result disappointed Du Fei.

Lao Yang walked through the front, middle and back courtyards from beginning to end.

Except for a small sandwich wall found in the ear room of the upper room in the middle courtyard, no other secret rooms were found.

The entrance to the wall is hidden in the cabinet. Judging from the wear and tear of the secret door, it should be opened and closed frequently.

But now, it's already empty inside.

This result made Du Fei a little disappointed.

Before this, he actually didn't expect to find a large cellar full of gold ingots from the yard.

But at least getting three melons and two dates is a consolation.

Lao Yang didn't dare to say anything.

This time Du Fei called him over, obviously having high hopes for him, but in the end he came up empty-handed, not even finding the fart.

This made Lao Yang a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Du Fei quickly adjusted his mood and stopped worrying about it.

He then took out yesterday's 'Showa 17th Year' badge and handed it to Lao Yang, and then said, "Lao Yang, look at this, do you recognize it?"

Lao Yang took it over, turned it over first and saw the words 'Showa Seventeenth Year'. He immediately frowned and looked at it carefully.

The reason why Du Fei showed it to Lao Yang was because last time he could tell it was Japanese woodwork just by looking at the manufacturing techniques of the furniture, so he might be able to tell something.

But Lao Yang looked at it for a long time, then shook his head in embarrassment and said: "Leader Du, this... I really don't know what it is. To tell you the truth, I know something about Japanese people, including carpentry, and other... "

Du Fei didn't have high hopes. Seeing Lao Yang like this, he smiled and said "It's okay", took back his badge and asked again: "By the way, last time you went to the Japanese house, besides the bed, what else did you find?" ?”

"Japanese~" Lao Yang was surprised. He was just suspicious before, but hearing Du Fei's tone, it turned out to be solid!

He muttered: "Well...if there's anything special about it, the stove in their kitchen is one step taller than the average one."

Du Fei frowned, thinking that this was nothing special.

But he also saw that it would be too hard to ask further questions.

In fact, Lao Yang's ability to discover the lurking Japanese woman this time was already a great achievement.

Moreover, after the Wang couple were arrested, their house would definitely be searched carefully. Even if something was really hidden, it would not be Du Fei's turn.

Thinking of this, Du Fei had no intention of continuing to spend time on Lao Yang.

Just as he was about to leave, Lao Yang suddenly pointed to the moon door leading to the back garden as he came out of the upper room in the backyard and said, "Leader Du, what is that place over there?"

Du Fei then remembered that he forgot to tell Lao Yang that there was a backyard.

At this time, Lao Yang was a little unwilling.

Du Fei came to see him in high spirits today, but when he came here, he could do nothing but look at the furniture.

This made Lao Yang feel a little confused.

So when Du Fei heard that there was a garden behind him, he immediately asked to go and have a look.

Du Fei looked at his watch, it was just past three in the afternoon.

There's nothing urgent, so let Lao Yang go take a look.

It's a pity that there are people living in the main courtyard and the east cross courtyard. Otherwise, if we show Lao Yang together, we might gain something else.

Du Fei was thinking as he followed Lao Yang to the back garden.

The back garden is very large, almost sixty meters wide and more than forty meters long.

Except for the area near the middle courtyard and the east cross courtyard, where residents have taken up some space to dig vegetable cellars, most of the rest is deserted.

After liberation, although the Jin family guarded the courtyard, they had to keep a low profile.

Naturally, it is impossible to spend money to maintain such a large back garden.

All kinds of flowers, plants and trees inside are growing wildly, and the pond that was originally an acre in size has long since dried up.

The rockery simply collapsed, and the tiles on the top of the pavilion were removed and sold by someone.

Even after Du Fei bought the yard, he didn't take a serious walk around the back garden.

Instead, this time I came in with Lao Yang and walked along the original path in the garden.

Although it is said to be deserted, in fact it is not that no one comes to this garden.

This place has long been a paradise for the naughty children living in the main courtyard and the east cross courtyard. There are traces of children playing everywhere.

So Du Fei and Lao Yang came in and walked down without any trouble.

Originally, Du Fei didn't have high expectations, but Lao Yang's stern expression made him a little surprised and said, "Is there anything going on?"

Lao Yang said "hmm" and pointed to the pavilion located in the northwest corner of the garden: "That pavilion is in the wrong position."

Du Fei frowned: "That's not right? How to say it?"

Lao Yang said: "It is said that the pavilion has a style, but the location has no basis! There are rules for placing a pavilion in the courtyard."

Du Fei didn't ask carefully about the rules. Anyway, he just knew that there was something wrong with the pavilion.

Lao Yang continued: "Leader Du, in such a big garden, dignitaries must have lived in the early years. The person who designed this garden must be an expert, and it is impossible that he does not know the rules. But now the pavilion is placed there. There are only two possibilities, either it was intentional, or future generations did not understand it and modified it at will."

Du Fei asked, "Which one do you think is more likely?"

Lao Yang said confidently: "Judging from the scene, the latter should be more likely. Because except for this pavilion, the design of the entire yard is regular and there is nothing out of the ordinary. He is a garden master."

When Du Fei heard this, he also became interested: "Let's go and have a look."

Lao Yang said: "Leader Du, do we have a crowbar or something like that? A small hammer will do too."

Du Fei told him to wait, and immediately ran to the courtyard, carrying Lao Yang on his back and taking out a crowbar from his pocket.

These tools were all prepared by him in order to open the entrance to the basement, and he threw them into the portable space after he was done.

Later, the two came to the pavilion with only one frame left.

It can be seen that this pavilion was built with great care.

The ground is made of white marble stones, which are polished and polished with great care.

The pillars of the pavilion are made of whole logs. They were originally painted with red paint, but now the paint has peeled off. They have been exposed to wind and rain for many years, and they look very mottled and worn.

There are only some traces of the painting on the top beams, and several beams are even rotten.

Lao Yang took the crowbar and knocked it here and there.

Du Fei listened to the music for a long time and didn't hear anything.

Instead, Lao Yang suddenly stopped and knocked repeatedly on the base of the west side of the pavilion. Then he looked like Du Fei and said, "The bottom is empty."

Du Fei didn't expect that Lao Yang still had this ability, and thought to himself: "What can you hear from this? The sound produced is no different from other places!"

But since Lao Yang said this, he must be confident.

Du Fei asked: "How big can it be?"

Lao Yang frowned and thought for a while: "It shouldn't be small, maybe it's a tunnel. The echo doesn't sound like a secret room."

Du Fei was a little disappointed.

But then I thought about it, it was so authentic, it seemed unreasonable.

This place is already the northwest corner of the garden. You only need to walk a few more meters to climb over the wall.

What's the point of setting up the tunnel here? Why don't you take off your pants and fart!

In fact, Lao Yang also had the same doubts.

But he and Du Fei had different ideas.

Du Fei's purpose is to find a secret room to hunt for treasure.

Lao Yang wanted to show off his abilities in front of Du Fei.

If you can find this pavilion, there may be a tunnel underneath, and Lao Yang's goal has been achieved.

As for whether it was a tunnel or a secret room, he actually didn't care too much.

Du Fei asked: "Can you find the entrance?"

Lao Yang looked at it awkwardly: "The area here should have been filled with soil, and more than half of the foundation of the pavilion has been buried. If you want to find the entrance, you must dig it out. This project... I'm afraid it's not a small one." He said to the Lord I looked in the direction of the courtyard and east across the courtyard.

The meaning was so obvious that it was difficult not to alarm the people living there.

Du Fei also understood that it was not the right time to carry out major construction projects, and asked again: "If it is a tunnel, can you find the exit at the other end?"

Lao Yang wondered: "According to the echo just now, it is at least three or four meters deep..."

When Du Fei heard this, he knew there was no chance.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of the Great Gray Immortal.

Just like Xiaowu and Xiaohei, wouldn't it be easy to get a mouse and dig a hole to see it?
