Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered what the original owner's father had instructed in the letter, so she went to the study.
She pushed open the door of the study and saw that the furnishings were simple. Other than a table and a chair, there was a large bookshelf against the wall. There were no books on the shelf, only some messy junk.
She went to the bookshelf and rummaged around. Finally, she found a small dog on the wooden board on the bottom floor of the shelf, at the far end on the left. It was really super small, only the size of her thumb. One had to know how small a child's thumb could be.
Lu Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry to get the small dog. She was only about 1.4 meters tall now. She had to squat down and stick her head in to see the dog. It was basically impossible for an adult to discover it. The original owner's father had specially prepared it for the original owner.
After she closed the door to the study, she took a flashlight from the space and reached out to pick up the dog. But she couldn't do it no matter how hard she tried. She wondered if this dog couldn't be taken out, but functioned as a special mechanism.
When Lu Xiaoxiao thought of this, she became excited. She had never experienced such a thing in her previous life. It was like a treasure hunt. She had to pass multiple rounds to win.
She placed the flashlight on the ground, then rubbed her palms against each other for a moment before turning the dog. She only had to turn it gently to see the bookshelf move, so she turned it harder and realized that the bookshelf had turned 90 degrees like the hotel's revolving door before stopping.
Lu Xiaoxiao shone her flashlight inside. She only found a pile of boxes and nothing else.
She went in and looked around. She realized that the boxes were of the same size and style, but one was especially small. It was probably the size of two palms for an adult.
Lu Xiaoxiao went forward to open the box and realized that there was a letter, a house certificate, and 20 bundles of banknotes inside. The handwriting on the envelope was the same as the one found at home. Even the words were the same.
She opened the letter and read it. The general content was that these things were all passed down from her ancestors. Because of the war, her father was the only one left in the original owner's lineage. After the situation stabilized, they secretly hid all the things here.
Due to the special nature of their work, they did not know when an accident would happen to them. They wrote these two letters and told the original owner not to tell anyone about this place. When she grew up and had the ability, she could take these things out and use them. The 2,000 yuan in the box was left for the original owner to use. They told her not to go to the bank to withdraw money before she reached adulthood, afraid that she would be targeted.
Also, they felt that someone was targeting their family. Their deaths were very likely not an accident and they told the original owner to be careful.
It seemed that the original owner's father would change a new letter every once in a while and tell the original owner what to do. Although she was not the original owner, she could still feel the deep love of a father.
Lu Xiaoxiao folded the letter again and placed it in the box. Then, she picked up the house certificate and saw that the information on it belonged to this small courtyard. This was probably the same as the real estate certificate.
After putting the house certificate back in the box, she put it in her space. Then she placed it with the previous letter and began to check the other boxes.
Lu Xiaoxiao opened all the boxes and realized that 10 of them were filled with big yellow croakers, while the other 10 were filled with small yellow croakers. The remaining 10 boxes were three boxes of antiques, two boxes of books, two boxes of jade that had not been carved, one box of carved jade jewelry, one box of jewelry embedded with various gems, and the last box was filled with polished diamonds that had not been embedded. Even she, who was born into a rich family in her previous life, was shocked.
She wondered what the original owner's ancestors did for a living. After generations of use, they could still keep so many things. How rich must they have been?
