055: Inspiration from dreams

The man looked at Dong Qingcheng seriously for a long time and said, "I haven't heard of it."

Dong Qingcheng's eyes widened, haven't you heard of it?

I haven't heard of it?

Don't two generations live here? Why haven't you heard of it? At least you should have heard it mention it, this is also...

"Why haven't you heard of it?"

Lan Weiwei also looked at the man doubtfully. At least Dong Qingcheng is also the owner, right?

"Dong Qingcheng..." The man repeated the name, and suddenly, the man's eyes lit up as if he remembered something.

"Bear by the way, I remember hearing this name somewhere. Are you Miss Bai's daughter?"

Well... Well, I shouldn't have heard of it. Anyway, Dong Qingcheng is also the heir of this house.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"It turned out to be you, the granddaughter of the master." The man said and laughed. Suddenly, the smile on the man's face immediately held up and put on a businesslike: "Have you brought your ID card and household registration book?"

"Ah?" Dong Qingcheng is confused. What does it have to do with the ID card and household registration book?

"I have to verify, what if it's a liar. I have never met the Miss Dong family, and I don't know what she looks like. It's been many years, and no one has found it. How can I believe that you suddenly came here?

Dong Qingcheng is speechless. This man is really honest, but this is also good. Otherwise, what if it's not her but someone else today? Then let people in and do whatever she wants, so she can't find any secret recipe.

Dong Qingcheng took out all the documents and handed them to the man.

After being carefully inspected one by one, Dong Qingcheng's identity was confirmed.

Although this person does not know Dong Qingcheng, fortunately, he still knows Dong Qingcheng's mother.

"I didn't think that after so many years, there will be descendants of the Bai family. By the way, I have to explain this rental to you.

Then, the man began to talk a lot to Dong Qingcheng.

Then, Dong Qingcheng also learned a lot about the house from the man.

I found the house, and Dong Qingcheng also got the map, but judging from the map of the internal structure of the house, Dong Qingcheng really didn't find many suitable places to hide things.

But there are too many places, so we have to check them one by one. This is another big project.

But the housekeeper has never heard of any secret recipes.

Since I don't know the secret recipe, I don't know where to hide it.

So, Dong Qingcheng and Lan Weiwei, and the three in Ye Baiyi, had to fight in person.

I turned over the key places in the house that day and didn't find any clues.

Dong Qingcheng found that her grandfather's house, after decades and hundreds of years of history, is still very well preserved.

Presumably, this is the credit of the man she saw before.

"When can we find it if we look for it like this?"

After having dinner in the courtyard, Lan Weiwei couldn't stand it anymore.

If you continue to find it like this, you may not be able to find it. It may be that the secret recipe is not here. However, despite this, you can't go home empty-handed.

"Vivi, don't complain."

Dong Qingcheng is also very tired. He has never been so tired after sitting in the office for a day.

All day, my hands and feet have not stopped.

"Look for it again tomorrow, maybe there will be something to gain."

Ye Baiyi did not give up. Dong Qingcheng said that there was no in his Dong family's house.

It is impossible for Dong's father to bring such an important secret recipe.

The only possibility is that things are in the old house of the Bai family.

Otherwise, Dong's father and mother can't have completely ignored the house here over the years.

The purpose of doing this is to hide people's eyes and ears. Don't put people's eyes here. In addition, I can't think of a more reasonable explanation.

"Okay, I'll try. I'll continue to look for it tomorrow."

Lan Weiwei made up her mind that even if she was tired, she would not die.

That night, because everyone was too tired and didn't look for any activities, they went straight back to their own residences. Dong Qingcheng did not go back, but asked the housekeeper to move out of the room, and she lived directly in the old house.

Together with the bodyguards brought by Dong Qingcheng, they all live in the quadrangle courtyard.

Dong Qingcheng has a feeling about this house.

She believes that the secret recipe is hidden here.

In the evening, Dong Qingcheng couldn't sleep, so he went to the housekeeper to chat with their family.

The housekeeper's surname is also Bai, and his name is given by Dong Qingcheng's grandfather. Bai Shoucheng.

It is said that Bai Shoucheng's father was an orphan living on the street, and Dong Qingcheng's maternal grandfather took him in. Later, he married a daughter-in-law and has lived here for two generations since then.

Two generations are honest, remembering the kindness of the Bai family and vowing to guard the house for generations.

Dong Qingcheng was very moved. Without them, she would not be able to find here today.

After chatting for a while, Dong Qingcheng returned to his grandfather's study.

Sit down in the rocking chair beside him, shaking the fan in his hand and shaking the chair.

There is no air conditioner here. Although it is still hot, it is much better than outside.

Within many meetings, Dong Qingchengju fell asleep on the rocking chair.

In the confused dream, the confused transformation of the scene made Dong Qingcheng a little confused whether it was a reality or a dream.

The big locust tree in the yard stayed in Dong Qingcheng's dream for a long time. Whether the scene is changed or not, there is always that big locust tree.

Dong Qingcheng dreamed that he climbed straight to the tree like a boy regardless of his manners. It's like something good on the tree.

Climping, Dong Qingcheng looked up and found a strangely patterned snake falling from the treetops.

She was immediately scared out of her mind.

Oh, my God, what a big snake.

So, Dong Qingcheng's feet were unstable, his hand was loosened, and his whole body fell from the locust tree.

"Ah..."

Dong Qingcheng shouted and woke up from his dream.

With a touch of her head, she was scared out of sweat.

How can you have such a dream?

Dong Qingcheng shouted, and all the bodyguards around him ran out.

Standing in front of Dong Qingcheng one by one at this moment, they woke up from Dong Qingcheng's nightmare.

But Dong Qingcheng saw so many bodyguards standing in front of him, but suddenly got up from the rocking chair, left the fan and walked straight to the middle of the yard.

She walked to the foot of the old locust tree and looked up.

There is still a lamp hanging on the trunk of the old locust tree. Dong Qingcheng can see it clearly, and there is no snake on it.

Maybe Dong Qingcheng's scream was too scary, which shocked Bai Shoucheng and his daughter-in-law.

The two ran over in a hurry and looked at Dong Qingcheng under the locust tree, and they didn't know what they were looking at.

"Miss Dong, what's wrong?"

"Uncle Bai, is there a snake on this locust tree?"

Dong Qingcheng still looked at the old locust tree curiously.

At this moment, she felt that the dream just now was extremely clear.

In the dream, even the branches of the locust tree can be remembered clearly. The branch with the snake hanging is the branch hanging with the lamp.

"How can there be snakes? I bury some medicine under the foot of the tree every year. Snakes dare not come."

At the foot of the tree?

Dong Qingcheng immediately looked down.

She saw some ants, and there was even a circle of ants crawling out of the soil.

Dong Qingcheng observed carefully and felt that the route of these ants seemed to deliberately bypass somewhere.

"Uncle Bai, can you dig this up for me?"

"Oh, aunt, this is the root below. If you destroy the root, can this tree grow well?"

“......”

Yes, if the roots are destroyed, the tree will not grow well.

For so many years, this tree has been so long. Then it means that no matter what has been passive in the house, no one has moved under the foot of the tree.

So...

So...

It's likely to be here.

This idea made Dong Qingcheng a little excited.

This also makes her more sure to dig it out.

"Uncle Bai, dig it out. Maybe what I'm looking for is underneath."

Dong Qingcheng insisted on digging, and Bai Shoucheng had to agree. In response to Dong Qingcheng, he quickly went to find the tools.

Dong Qingcheng called Lan Weiwei and Ye Baiyi out of the quilt and sent a text message to Sheng Tianling.

If she finds something, she can go back.

You have to let that guy know.

With little meeting, Sheng Tianling replied to Dong Qingcheng's message, saying congratulations to her and asked her to pay attention to safety.

When Lan Weiwei and Ye Baiyi came over, a big hole had just been dug under the foot of the tree.

Dong Qingcheng held a flashlight and looked at it without blinking, for fear of looking at it wrong. It's like missing the secret recipe.

"Qingcheng, what is this? Can you really find it?"

Lan Weiwei also quickly ran to the side to watch.

The bodyguards brought by Dong Qingcheng are distributed around the yard, and they also stand in the inconspicuous corner outside the door.

If the secret recipe is really dug out, Dong Qingcheng has to guard against it.

After all, I know that many people are staring at this, so I really don't dare to be careless at all.

"Qingcheng, why do you remember to look for it here?"

Ye Baiyi looked at this place and looked for it for a day, but he had no eyebrows at all.

"I had a dream."

"What? I had a dream, and you are digging the roots here?

Lan Weiwei stared at Dong Qingcheng with surprised eyes. Is that okay?

"Try it. I think everything in this house may have been passive over the years. Only here will no one move."

While talking, Bai Shoucheng has changed tools. This old locust tree has a history of many years, and he is naturally reluctant to destroy the roots of the tree.

After loosening the soil, I shoveled out the soil little by little with small tools. In order to fill the soil back later, Dong Qingcheng looked at it and wanted to reach out to help, but Bai Shoucheng quickly stopped him.

"Miss, don't move this dirty hand, I'll do it."

Dong Qingcheng nodded and waited for it.

She hopes to find the secret recipe soon. And take the secret recipe back. The longer you spend here, the easier it is to shock people.

And this is not their own territory. If someone wants to grab it, it should be difficult to keep it with Dong Qingcheng and the people she brought.

"Qingcheng, have you notified Sheng Tianling?"

Ye Baiyi is also worried that if he really finds something, someone will jump out and grab it.

"I just told him. However, I'm not sure if it's in here.

Dong Qingcheng pointed to the locust tree and said.

"That's good. If we really find it, Sheng Tianling will arrange for us to go back safely."

When Ye Baiyi said this, Lan Weiwei took a look at him.

When did Ye Baiyi be so sure of Sheng Tianling's ability?

Also, they shouldn't be rivals, right? You know, Ye Baiyi has also liked Dong Qingcheng for many years.

"I'm not sure if I can dig out anything."

Dong Qingcheng dug so deep under the tree, but he still didn't see anything, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

At this time, Bai Shoucheng put down the tool and dug the soil with his hands to hold it out.

He just held a few handfuls of soil. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he looked back at Dong Qingcheng and said in surprise.

"Miss Dong, take a look, is it what you are looking for?"
