As the sun set in the west, the red fiery cloud covered nearly half of the sky, and even made the entire earth glow red.
"Cleaning the ancestral hall is really simple enough."
Lin Lei walked out of the ancestral hall and had to admit that he was over-prepared. What he planned to do in an hour was completed in just 15 minutes.
On the Magnolia continent, a year consists of 12 months, 30 days a month, 24 hours a day, 60 minutes an hour. The general aristocracy has a table clock, which can tell the precise time, and the extremely rich or high-status people even have very delicate pocket watches.
"The ancestral hall is cleaned every month. In fact, in just a month, there is no dirty place on the ancestral hall at all. Just wipe it off. It's nearly an hour before training in the evening. What should I do?" the bored Lin Leichao Looked around.
The ancient mansion of Baruch has a history of more than 5,000 years.
The front yard is cleaned every day, but in the wider area of the back yard, except for the Zongtang, other houses and courtyards are covered with dust and even cracks. Messy weeds and green moss covered the corners and stone roads.
"Huh." Looking at these old and decaying buildings, Linley's eyes gradually lit up, "There are so many places in the backyard that no one has cleaned up for more than a hundred years, are there some ancient and valuable things in there? things?"
Thinking of this, Linley couldn't help but jump up and down.
"If I can find something valuable and give it to my father, my father will be very happy." Linley took a deep breath and immediately started walking towards the decadent house next to the ancestral hall. He even picked up a sturdy wooden pole so that he could swing the cobweb away and carefully observe whether there were any items.
Walking into the old house, Linley smelled a rotten smell. There were dense cobwebs in the corners of the wall, and spiders could be seen crawling on it.
Many cobwebs covered the surface of some decorations. If you look closely, the decorations on the walls of the ancient house are still extremely old. But those decorations have long since rotted, and only a model can be seen.
"If these decorations aren't rotted, they are new, and they should be worth a lot of money." Linley shook his head helplessly, and then continued to observe other things. The wooden pole in his hand removed layers of cobwebs. Linley carefully observed. any of the same items.
On the ground, on a wooden stand, or check the walls for some hidden traps.
"According to the description in the books, it is very normal for walls to create mechanisms." Linley tapped the walls carefully, listening to the sound.
Linley really enjoyed the feeling of 'hunting for treasures in an ancient house', but Linley forgot, he could think of a treasure hunt in an ancient house, how could his father, even his grandfather, and the more ancient elders of the Baruch family not think of it
The things in these ancient houses have long been found by the ancestors of the Baruch family.
Lin Lei was only eight years old after all. Although Lin Lei's family education from a young age made Lin Lei mature earlier, there was still a big gap between him and adults, and his thinking was still not comprehensive enough.
"This old house is not available, the next one—" Linley stepped out of the first old house, and then walked towards the second one.
There were still a lot of buildings in the backyard. After all, the front yard mansion where Linley and the others lived was only one-third of the entire mansion. The area behind is much larger. If all the searches were to be completed, Linley estimated that it would take a whole day of work.
"All the decorations are going to rot, and none of the valuable ones are there." Linley walked out of another old house again.
Look at the sky.
"Well, it's estimated to be fifteen minutes before the evening training." Linley turned around and looked at an ancient house with a huge area in the distance, "Just that one, the largest one. It took ten minutes. But search for it, and if you can't find it, go to training immediately."
Linley made a decision and ran towards the largest set of ancient houses.
The area of this ancient house is much larger than the living room of the mansion in the front yard. Walking into it, Lin Lei carefully observed: "It is estimated that hundreds of years ago, this was the place where our Baruch family had dinner." From the interior decoration layout of the ancient house, lei can also see that this is the living room.
And it is a very spacious and atmospheric living room.
"Search the ground first."
According to the old rules, Linley lowered his head and widened his eyes. He carefully searched every place. When he saw something, he would smash it twice with a wooden pole to identify it carefully. If it is a stone, just give up. Because training in the evening was getting closer, Linley's search speed was also much faster.
"Start searching for the walls and various decorations, huh, the last hope." Linley puffed out his mouth and looked around, "The ancestors of the family, please leave one or two things for me, even if it is a small one. stuff."
Linley looked carefully everywhere, and even looked behind the rotting decorations on the wall.
There was a wooden frame on the wall of this ancient house, and there were drawers on the wooden frame. Linley immediately opened the drawers one by one to take a closer look, but the drawers were very clean and empty inside. If there is something, there is just - dust.
"Ugh!"
After checking the last drawer of the wooden frame, Linley couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"After searching for so long, I didn't even find anything of value. I was tired and sweaty, and my body was covered in ashes." Linley looked at his body, it was indeed dirty. This made Linley feel a little uneasy in his heart.
Linley glanced at the ancient house.
"Hmph, go back." Linley angrily threw the wooden pole in his hand at the wooden frame beside him. It seemed that Linley wanted to vent his anger and resentment after nearly an hour of useless effort. of.
"Crack!" The wooden pole slammed into the wooden frame.
This wooden frame has a long history, and after more than a hundred years of corrosion, it has long been overwhelmed. The wooden pole was smashed fiercely, and the wooden frame could not help but squeak.
Hearing the sound, Linley couldn't help but look behind him. He couldn't help but be shocked: "No, it's going to collapse." When Linley was searching the old houses in front of him, he also broke some decorations on the ground. Very experienced.
I saw Linley hurriedly retreated to the side.
The wooden frame that was as tall as Lin Lei finally fell down. With a bang, the wooden frame smashed to the ground, and the wooden frame shattered into seven or eight pieces, and a layer of dust was raised in the ancient house. Amidst the rising dust, Linley didn't notice—
As the wooden frame shattered, a black ring that had been hidden in the interlayer of the wooden frame for an unknown period of time also fell and finally rolled onto the ground.
"Pfft, pfft." Linley spat two or three times, and waved his sleeves to fan the dust away.
"It's really unfortunate. I've got ashes all over my body. I think I'll have to train in a while. I'd better go wash my body and change clothes immediately." Linley waved his hand and walked out of the ancient house. .
