A thief
Fatty Zhang searched for a long time, and found an oil lamp.

Fan Jiannan was almost laughed at by him, "I said fat man, can you modernize it a bit. Just your broken kerosene lamp, it can almost be regarded as an unearthed cultural relic. I took out my mobile phone to light it, and it is better than yours."

Fatty Zhang is also eloquent, "What if there is a lack of oxygen inside? My oil lamp can also serve as a warning. Without oxygen, the oil lamp will go out. Can you take out your mobile phone and try it? Modern technology has the benefits of technology. Indigenous methods have their advantages.”

"Okay, okay, I've convinced you. Since I brought it here, let's light it." Fan Jiannan shook his head, and reluctantly took out the lighter to light the kerosene lamp. "Hand it carefully, this glass lampshade might be from before liberation. If you drop it, be careful that Ms. Li will ask you for cultural relic damage fees."

"That's also required by work. Besides, you asked me to find the lamp. Even if there is a loss, your boss must compensate you. The economic loss caused by work must be reimbursed by you. How can you ask employees to pay for it?" Zhang The fat man looked innocent.

Fan Jiannan didn't want to talk too much with the money fan. Holding the mobile phone in his hand as a flashlight, he slowly bent over and walked in from the entrance of the cave. "Be careful, the hole is low, don't touch your heads. Fatty, take care of Miss Li."

"It's okay, I'm holding her hand." Fatty Zhang pulled a soft hand in the darkness.

"It's a wrong pull, you're holding my hand!" Fan Jiannan said helplessly.

"Aren't I a little nervous? I haven't held a girl's hand before, this is the first time I've grown up." Fatty Zhang said shamelessly.

Miss Li suppressed a smile, she found that these two masters were no different from young people her age.

It seems that the wall is still very thick, no wonder it took so long for the fat man to knock on the wall.But when you walk into the entrance of the cave, it seems to be much more spacious. The space inside the wall with a mezzanine is about two meters wide, but it is done very cleverly, and it cannot be seen from the outside at all.

At that time, construction craftsmen knew how to use the difference in human vision to cover up the gap between the inner and outer layers of the wall.It is also possible that the craftsman was asked to do this after someone designed the size.

Fan Jiannan touched the wall inside with his hand, and immediately understood.When the house was being rammed, deep and large trenches were first dug in the foundation of the wall, rammed firmly, and large stones were buried as the foundation, and then the foundation of the wall was built with stones and mortar.

The walls were then rammed with plywood.The raw material of the earth wall is mainly local clay laterite, mixed with appropriate amount of small stones and lime, after repeated crushing and mixing, it is made into what is commonly known as "cooked soil".

Some key parts are also mixed with appropriate amount of glutinous rice and brown sugar to increase its viscosity.When ramming, it is necessary to bury fir branches or bamboo slices in the middle of the earth wall as "wall bones" to increase its tension.

In this way, after repeated tamping, an earth wall like steel concrete was built, and a layer of lime that resists wind and rain erosion was applied on the outside, so it is extremely strong and has good wind and earthquake resistance.The old houses of the rich used to be very particular.

However, it was very dark inside. Fan Jiannan's mobile phone flashlight could barely illuminate the front, while the oil lamp in Fatty Zhang's hand could only illuminate the steps up, but he couldn't see the steps clearly.It has become a veritable black under the lamp.

To their surprise, the air inside is fine, but they don't know where the vent holes are.And this sandwich wall is just an aisle.At the end of the clip wall, it actually looks like a basement extending downwards.

Fatty Zhang said in a low voice, "It seems that Miss Li's great-grandfather had spent a lot of money with the warlord. Otherwise, why did we build such a secret room? Boss, do you think we will find a whole box of silver dollars and gold bars? ?”

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "It's nonsense. Although that Chen Jiongming is a warlord, he is very honest. In terms of private life and conduct, he is completely different from the style of warlords that people usually understand. Not only is he quite talented, he is also honest and self-restraining, and does not accumulate personal wealth. , is also quite rigorous in life. It is said that when he died, the money around him could not even afford a coffin. Naturally, Miss Li’s great-grandfather would not be a corrupt person.”

"Then what's the purpose of repairing this secret room? It doesn't put gold and silver treasures, so there are other uses?" Fatty Zhang muttered in a low voice, "Besides, I'm not thinking about Miss Li. There are assets left by my ancestors. It's a good thing."

Fan Jiannan shook his head, looked down at the ground between the walls, and said in a low voice, "Fatty, come and see here."

Fatty Zhang hurried over, and there seemed to be a movable door on the ground under the light of the oil lamp.

Fan Jiannan wiped it with his hand, frowned and said, "The ash on it has been touched, someone has been here recently."

"It's over, it's over. All the good things have been stolen, this thief deserves to be killed! It's too nasty to attack such a beautiful and weak girl as Ms. Li." Fatty Zhang expressed regret.

"Your words are really interesting, thieves still look at their faces when stealing things?" Ms. Li is not as nervous as she was at the beginning, and said with a smile.

"Miss Li, you don't know. He may be stolen often, so I think thieves only steal from him, who is ugly." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "Come on, fat man help me." The thick wooden door on the ground was opened.

Fan Jiannan frowned suddenly, "Huh? What's the smell?"

"I seem to smell it too." Fatty Zhang frowned, "Could it really be a weasel, Huang Xian? Knowing we've found it, so he farted and ran away?"

Fan Jiannan's face changed, "No! It's the smell of blood!" He immediately bowed down and dived.

Below is a basement, after Fan Jiannan walked down, he finally discovered the source of the bloody smell.There was a person lying on the ground, both feet were covered in blood, as if a mechanism had been touched.The foot was clamped by two traps used for trapping animals.And those two clips are fixed by two posts on both sides.

It seemed that the person had struggled violently, but he couldn't break free at all.Lying there now, I don't know if I am dead or alive.

Miss Li exclaimed when she saw it.

Fatty Zhang immediately hugged her with one hand, turned her body to the other side, and whispered, "Don't look, don't be afraid, we are all here?"

But Miss Li's body was still trembling uncontrollably, she was just an ordinary girl who had seen such a bloody scene before, she was trembling with fright.Fatty Zhang hugged her and comforted her in a low voice, which made her feel better.In this case, Fatty Zhang's solid fat body makes people feel very safe.

Fan Jiannan walked over, took a picture of the person on the ground with his mobile phone, and frowned, "It's okay, he was just injured and trapped here. It seems that it has been several days, and he fainted from hunger."

He patted the man's face with his hand, "Hey, wake up, wake up! Wake up!"

The man groaned and said with difficulty, "Help me, give me something to eat."

Fan Jiannan looked at the person lying on the ground. This person looked very young, but he was actually well-dressed. He couldn't understand why such a person had to come here to be a thief.

Knowing that the person was not dead, Ms. Li let out a sigh of relief.If this person really died here, she really didn't dare to have this old house anymore.

Fan Jiannan looked at the young man on the ground coldly and said, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Please, help me...give me something to eat." The young man made a weak voice.

Fan Jiannan looked at the injury on his foot, the two clips were clamped very hard.This is the kind of trap used to trap wild boars in the mountains. It is very powerful and has serrations.The wounds on the young man's feet were almost visible in some places.Even if this person is healed, he might be crippled.

With such an injury, he would definitely not be able to escape.Fan Jiannan stretched out his hand to greet Fatty Zhang and said, "Come here and help him untie it."

"This is the thief and help him untie it?" Fatty Zhang was not happy.

"Even if it's a thief, you can't let him die here?" Fan Jiannan said helplessly.If there is a good or bad thing, how will Miss Li live in this house in the future? !Besides, if someone dies, the police must not pursue it.Come and help. "

Only then did Fatty Zhang reluctantly release this man from the trap.Fan Jiannan looked at the traps on both sides, and couldn't help but gasp. The traps of the traps are very delicate.Two traps were hidden in the sand, and both were attached to chains.Iron chains were attached to winches on two large uprights.

As long as it is stepped on, the bear trap will immediately clamp the injured person's calf, and the winches on both sides will immediately twist.Pulling the man's feet to both sides, he forcibly pulled the man's legs into a split horse, so that his hands could not reach the trap, and thus he could not escape.This design is simply exquisite to the extreme.

However, it can also be seen that the person who designed this trap still has a little sympathy.Otherwise, if he designed it a little more ruthlessly: if the winches on both sides continue to twist, it can tear this person in half starting from his legs.Seeing such an exquisite trap made Fan Jiannan a little creepy.Fatty Zhang's face was also a little pale.

The two put the wounded thief aside and examined the place carefully.There is still a box on the ground, but the box is empty.I don't know if the contents were stolen by this person, or if it's just an empty box that attracts people's bait.

Fan Jiannan walked over and unceremoniously searched the injured person, but found nothing at all.The thief moaned, "I didn't take anything. It was just an empty box."

Fan Jiannan looked at the basement, there was nothing in it except this box.This box is not very big, just slightly larger than the old-fashioned jewelry box.The workmanship is very exquisite, with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, all four corners are covered with silver, and inlaid with turquoise decorations.

Fan Jiannan pondered for a moment, then picked up the box.Then he said to Fatty Zhang, "Get that guy up there first. There's no way to stay here forever."

Fatty Zhang responded and dragged the injured thief out.Fan Jiannan then turned to Miss Li and said, "Miss Li, are you okay?"

Miss Li shook her head, "I'm fine. Master Fan, should we call the police?"

Fan Jiannan thought for a while and said, "It's better not to call the police yet. If you trust me, let me handle this matter."

"But, after all, someone was injured." Miss Li was a little at a loss.

"It's a little injury that's okay, and it's a lesson for him. I don't think he will be willing to speak up. Besides, there are still many unresolved problems in this matter. I want to know what's going on with this person." Fan Jiannan said.

Miss Li nodded, "Okay, Master Fan, I trust you."

Fan Jiannan asked Ms. Li as he walked, "Is the Huang Xian you saw that day the same person?"

"It looks a bit like it, but at the time because of a hazy halo, I couldn't see his face clearly, so it's really hard for me to judge whether it's him." Ms. Li was a little helpless.

"It's okay, we can ask him later." Fan Jiannan nodded.After walking into the upper room, Fatty Zhang pushed the man to the corner. "You, tell me the truth! What did you steal, or plan to steal? How did you get into the room?"

The man whispered hoarsely, "I need some food, I haven't eaten in days... Please..."

"You still dare to be a thief knowing you?" Fatty Zhang said angrily.

The man looked at them, stretched out his hand and made a few movements with difficulty.

Both Fan Jiannan and Fatty Zhang could tell that this was a kind of quack sign language that was circulated among practitioners.This person means that there are outsiders present, and some words are difficult to speak.

Fatty Zhang sneered, "Now I know I'm sorry? Why don't you think about the consequences of doing such a dirty thing? If we come a few days late, you will just wait to rot slowly in the ground."

Fan Jiannan said to Fatty Zhang, "This thief is really hateful. But no matter how hateful he is, he is only a thief, and he is not worthy of death. Fatty, can you go out with Miss Li to buy some food or lunch, and buy some medicine. Don't let this guy Starved to death here."

Fatty Zhang knew that he had something to ask this person, so it was best to take Miss Li away from here.After all, some topics about practitioners sound a bit too weird to ordinary people.

Fatty Zhang nodded immediately, "Oh, I almost forgot, I've been tossing all morning and I'm hungry. Just wait. I'll go and get some food. But I'm not familiar with this place, can Ms. Li bring Shall I go to a nearby market or supermarket?"

"Oh, okay, if you don't tell me, I almost forgot." Ms. Li got up quickly and said, "I can't let you go for a while without even eating. All right, I'll go with you."

After they left, Fan Jiannan turned down his face, looked at the young man and said, "Who are you? Since you are a magician, why do you do such vile deeds!"

"This matter has nothing to do with you, I will not say anything." The young man shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with me?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "You stole my client, and you almost died in my client's house. How dare you say that it has nothing to do with me?"
