Chapter 747
If there was no such thing as the mouse hole in front of him, even if he saw the terrain here, Du Fei would not pay special attention to it.
But now, knowing which tunnel leads to this place, the huge underwater pit looks particularly abrupt.
Without hesitation, Du Fei immediately let Xiaobai swim over and brushed away the mud on the surface with his paws.
The silt under the water is like overcooked rice soup.
Xiaobai rushed in, planing with all four paws.
The surrounding clear water suddenly turned into muddy soup, submerging Xiao Bai's figure.
Xiaobai didn't care about it, and after a while, the silt was nearly half a meter deep, and finally touched something hard.
Wait for two more splashes, and use the water to completely wash away the mud in front of it, revealing the grain of the granite.
"found it!"
Du Fei screamed excitedly.
After another ten minutes, Xiaobai cleared out a larger area.
Some rough outlines can already be seen.
It turned out to be an arched water mouth, nearly four meters high up and down, and more than one meter wide left and right.
There is also a water gate at the entrance.
There are grid-shaped iron railings on the gate, but they have been corroded long ago because they have been soaked underwater for an unknown number of years.
Just now when Xiaobai was digging the mud, he accidentally bumped into it and broke several of them.
The iron core can no longer be seen at the fracture, and it is full of fluffy and fragile rust.
Du Fei couldn't wait, and immediately let Xiaobai go in along the entrance of the cave, wanting to see what happened.
I was even more puzzled in my heart, what is the purpose of this hole?
As Xiaobai went in along the entrance of the cave, and didn't swim very far inside, this question was answered.
The water flow in the cave is almost static when it is away from the entrance of the cave, and it is obviously clearer than the outside.
It can be clearly seen that there are several horizontal marks on the granite wall.
Du Fei has raised fish, and he often sees moss and green algae marks near the waterline of the fish tank.
This made him realize suddenly!
The water level of Shichahai is not static.
Especially in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the current situation was turbulent and the government changed, so there was no money to maintain the water system of Shichahai.
At that time, there were even many rice fields around Shichahai.
Originally, the upper reaches of Shichahai had less water ingress.
In order to irrigate the farmland, more than half of the water was saved, causing the water level of Shichahai to drop rapidly.
After liberation, the current situation completely stabilized.
Shichahai was restored to its current water level after large-scale dredging.
Du Fei estimated that when the tunnel was built, the water level in Shichahai was low.
According to the position of the waterline on the wall, a small half of the hole should be exposed outside.
At this time, Du Fei suddenly remembered the small wooden boat that was turned upside down in the Shichahai, and the skeleton of the dead man below.
If it is that kind of small wooden boat, although it will be a bit cramped to get in and out of here, it is absolutely passable.
Xiaobai continued to follow the tunnel.
After advancing about 30 to [-] meters, I finally climbed out of the water.
Du Fei adjusted his viewing angle and looked back at the dark water surface.
Because the water surface completely submerged the tunnel entrance, forming a closed space.
Du Fei didn't let Xiaobai go to explore immediately, but stayed for a while to get used to the air here and see if he could breathe normally.
After a few minutes, Xiaobai didn't feel any discomfort, so Du Fei let him crawl inside.
It is estimated that there should be other vents in this underground palace.
Although Xiaobai's body is heavy, after the transformation, he can crawl easily.
Moreover, the straight-line distance from Du Fei's compound to Shichahai is not far, only 600 meters in total.
Before Xiaohong and the others dug the hole for more than ten hours, it only took Xiaobai ten minutes to walk back.
Finally, the 20-meter-long, [-]-meter-wide underground building made of hard granite appeared before Du Fei's eyes.
Du Fei's first impression was that it was empty inside.
It is more appropriate to say that it is an underground warehouse than an underground palace.
At the edge of the tunnel, a two-wheeled cart was parked. Because of the darkness and humidity, the cart was already rotten, and both wheels fell off, lying on the ground.
Next to the cart, there were a few wooden boxes, all of which were locked and sealed.
Du Fei was a little curious and wanted Xiaobai to go over to open the box to have a look.
Suddenly, he saw a white leg bone protruding from the side of the box!
Du Fei's heart trembled.
Following Xiaobai walked a few steps forward, revealing a completely boneless corpse.
The corpse's clothes had long been rotten, leaving only a few pieces of black cloth, and a rusty revolver was still held in his hand.
Du Fei couldn't help but look at the pistol a few more times.
He can only be regarded as half a military fan, and he didn't recognize the model and origin of this gun.
But before liberation, those who could use a revolver were definitely not ordinary people.
I don't know why he died here, there is not even a body collector.
At this time, Xiaobai had already arrived at the side of the box.
The wood of these boxes is good, it should be camphor wood, which is more resistant to corrosion.
But it can't stand it after decades in this kind of damp basement. The wooden boards are rotten, and it collapsed immediately when Xiaobai slapped it.
With a bang, a large piece of black coins gushed out from inside.
Du Fei took a closer look and found that they were all oxidized silver dollars.
It immediately reminded him of Zai Zhenjian's tomb in Dayang Mountain.
Xin said: "Could it be that the silver dollars over there are shipped out from here, box by box? In the end, because of some accident, the remaining ones were not shipped away."
Immediately counted, a total of nine boxes.
According to previous experience in Dayang Mountain, a box usually contains five thousand silver dollars.
It's not that the box can't fit, but it's too heavy to carry.
Generally, a silver dollar, no matter what variety, is more than 20 grams.
Ten thousand oceans is more than 200 kilograms.
More than 400 kilograms, usually two manual laborers must not be able to move it.
Five thousand oceans, more than 200 kilograms, no matter whether it is manually carried or placed on a small boat, it is just right.
In order to avoid guessing wrong, Du Fei asked Xiaobai to open several other boxes.
All of them, without exception, are all filled with silver dollars, not only "standing people", but also "yingyang", "longyang" and "sitting foreign"... the most is Yuan Datou.
According to the number of boxes, these silver dollars should be worth 10 to [-] yuan. According to the current price of going to the bank to exchange them, each is about two yuan, or nearly [-] yuan.
Du Fei couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Now he adds up all kinds of miscellaneous things, although he also has hundreds of thousands of family assets, but he is quite excited to increase one hundred thousand at a time.
In addition, if these silver coins are placed here, does it mean that this is where the treasures of Prince Qing's Mansion were stored?
Thinking of this, Du Fei's mood became even more agitated.
If the treasures from Prince Qing's Mansion can be found, their value must be much higher than the 1000 million silver dollars in the Dayangshan tomb.
Regardless of the ocean scattered all over the place, Du Fei asked Xiaobai to go to the other side of the warehouse.
The entire underground warehouse was empty, with two rows of thick pillars erected in the middle.
There are a few corpses in all directions.
On the opposite side, there is a large piece of canvas covered with something bulging.
Du Fei couldn't help feeling a little worried.
It's really too humid here, if the moisture is not well protected, except for precious metals such as gold and silver, other writings, calligraphy and paintings will all be ruined after being left for these years.
As Xiaobai walked over, Du Fei saw a long wooden ladder standing beside a pillar.
Going up, is the entrance of a black hole.
According to the location here, it is probably where the pavilion in the back garden is located.
However, the wooden ladder, like the wooden boxes, was completely decayed.
If you touch it, it will drop slag, and you will definitely not be able to use it.
Looking up, the top has also been sealed.
On the wall behind the ladder is a tunnel entrance leading to the outside.
Going to the west here, it is likely to be connected to the old Prince Qing's mansion.
With a thought in his mind, Du Fei ordered Xiaohong to come too.
Although the entrance here is underwater, it is definitely not possible to let Xiaohong go into the water to explore the way, but it is not a problem to swim in along the existing route.
As for the ice on the water, it is not difficult to make a hole down with Xiaohong's ability.
Afterwards, Du Fei's attention returned to the canvas.
Let Xiaobai go over and prepare to lift the canvas to see what's inside.
Although he felt that it was unlikely to be a particularly valuable item, Du Fei still had some expectations in his heart.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a knock on the door of his house.
Du Fei had no choice but to be patient and cut off the synchronization of vision.
Thinking that the pillar had gone and returned, she stood up impatiently and asked "who".
Unexpectedly, it was not the pillar who responded, but Yu Xiaoli in the front yard.
Du Fei was slightly different, walked over, opened the door, the impatience on his face had disappeared, he smiled and called "Sister Yu".
Yu Li had been here a few times, and she had some problems with Yan Tiecheng's relationship recently, so she simply ignored this and walked in openly.
"Chief Du, there is a situation at the neighborhood committee!" Yu Xiaoli went straight to the point as soon as she entered the room.
Du Fei's heart skipped a beat, and he guessed it was almost the same.
The neighborhood committee made a report, and Section Chief Qian stamped it.
Director Lian is so impatient, he will definitely not waste time.
However, if she just started to repair the house, Yu Xiaoli shouldn't come here in a hurry.
Du Fei asked her to sit down, poured her a glass of water, and asked her to speak slowly.
Yu Xiaoli took the hot cup, didn't bother to take a sip, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Du, a person came during the day today. I think he seems strange. He is holding a gossip in his hand. He looks like a god. Look here, look there..."
"Gossip?"
Du Fei was stunned for a moment, then he realized that it should be a compass for geomantic omen.
Yu Xiaoli doesn't know the compass, but she knows the gossip on it.
But the neighborhood committee is just renovating the house, not choosing a site to build a new house, so why do they use Feng Shui?
Because the house needs to be renovated, the neighborhood committee has made a mess in the past two days. They are moving and starting work. There are too many people coming in and out.
The crow that Du Fei stayed there and stared at couldn't tell who had a problem, and didn't report the situation.
Yu Xiaoli continued: "By the way, I also heard Director Lian calling that person 'Master'..."
"Master?" Du Fei raised his eyebrows, and Li Jiang actually went there himself!
(Ask for a monthly pass!)
