Chapter 204 She knows
Xu Youyou's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She looked at Qing Yatou with doubt in her eyes, wondering if she knew something.
But Qing Yatou's eyes were as clear as ever. As she was about to take Xu Youyou into the house, she suddenly turned to the wall in front of everyone and said, "These are my friends. Don't scare them."
Everyone present was stunned by the situation, and some even thought that the girl was mentally ill.
Qing Yatou explained: "Miss Xu, I have greeted the house. It won't hurt you. You can come in."
As Xu Youyou started moving, Xu Fang stopped her and said, "Boss, the beam ahead is falling down. It's very dangerous. How about I go with her?"
The girl Qing said calmly, "Sister, this house is spiritual. This was originally my grandfather's house, and it's where I grew up. It can understand what I say, so it will never hurt Sister Youyou."
When the people present heard this, they just found it funny.
Xu Fang couldn't help but say, "Little girl, if you say so, the key in the front yard door lock was stuck and the falling beam almost hit Miss Xu. Is this the house deliberately blocking us from coming in?"
Qing Yatou nodded gently and looked at Xu Youyou with apology: "Sister Youyou, I'm sorry, at first I thought the person who came was a bad person."
Xu Youyou waved her hand and said, "These are just coincidences. Don't take the blame on yourself."
Although Xu Youyou said it was a coincidence, she actually believed it 80% in her heart. After all, after she got the system, she could even understand the talk of cats and dogs, and even got the so-called "metaphysical protection shield".
Xu Youyou always felt that the world seemed to have another appearance, but ordinary people just couldn't detect it.
Just like when she was working part-time to earn money for her studies, she always begged her old cell phone not to break down, and that broken old phone actually accompanied her for four whole years.
It was not until she received her first salary and saved enough money to buy a new phone that her old phone suddenly broke down without any warning. It was like a person with problems all over his body who held on until his children and grandchildren finally became successful before choosing to end his life.
Qing Yatou shook her head and said, "This house and I have a special bond, so the fault is indeed mine."
Xu Youyou felt that this child was sometimes quite stubborn, so she said directly, "Then we are willing to forgive you."
Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Xu Youyou as if she had seen a friend who was on the same wavelength as her.
Xu Youyou stopped Xu Fang from taking the risk for her and said, "You all wait outside. I'll go in with her."
Xu Fang knew that Xu Youyou was a man of her word, so it was not appropriate for her to continue following her, but her eyes were full of worry.
Instead, Lu Jingyao took the initiative and said, "I'll go with you."
Xu Youyou wanted to refuse, but when she saw the determination in Lu Jingyao's eyes, and thought that even if she had picked up a big bargain, with Lu Jingyao's financial resources, he probably wouldn't be covetous, she nodded.
Qing Yatou did not stop them, but led people towards the inner room.
Xu Youyou was even more surprised because Qing Yatou took people to the small kitchen at the innermost part, and the route they walked was exactly the same as the golden pointer of the system.
In the small kitchen, the system's golden pointer pointed to the earthen stove hole.
The girl's figure almost overlapped with the golden pointer, and she was saying, "I think there's something hidden in here."
"Is this the first day you knew there was something hidden inside?" Xu Youyou asked.
The girl Qing said, "I knew it when I was very young."
Xu Youyou asked again: "After all these years, aren't you curious about what's inside?"
Qing Yatou shook her head: "It's not mine, I can't think about it."
"This is your home." Xu Youyou said.
Qing Yatou said, "Things in my house are not necessarily mine. Only things that are destined to be with me are truly mine."
Xu Youyou listened to these somewhat confusing words and felt that this girl had the potential to be a charlatan, but she still couldn't help asking: "If the things inside are worth tens of millions, you won't be tempted?"
The girl Qing shook her head and said, "People have their own destiny, and things have their own fate. Forcing unsuitable people and things together will only cause trouble for each other."
Xu Youyou had seen the charlatan's indifference, so she finally reached into the stove hole. In less than a minute, she easily grabbed something heavy.
After removing the debris wrapped around it, in the dim room, one could vaguely see that it was an abacus.
Gold is the base and jade is the beads.
The sound of jade beads hitting each other could be heard when they were being plucked. However, because Xu Youyou was reluctant to poke them hard, the sound was not crisp but rather dull.
"This thing should have an inscription." Lu Jingyao on the side suddenly said.
Xu Youyou's hand carefully felt on the abacus, and soon, she felt two words.
You think.
"Ru Si? Why do these two words sound a little familiar?" Xu Youyou frowned and thought about it.
It was Qing Yatou who directly said, "There was a Ming Dynasty businessman named Cheng Dawei. It is said that our branch of the Cheng family is his descendant."
Cheng Dawei is considered the master of abacus in China. He is a local celebrity and almost every local child has been educated about his deeds when he was young.
Although Xu Youyou could tell at a glance that this thing would most likely fetch a high price, she still handed it to Qing Yatou and said, "Since this is an heirloom from your ancestors, you should keep it."
Qing Yatou shook her head: "The house has been rented to you through my aunt. I guess the things in the house must have been given to you by her. These things have no fate with me or my aunt. They should belong to you."
Xu Youyou has found bargains so many times, but this is the first time she has encountered such a situation. It is different from the time when she found a bargain with Aunt Li in the capital.
Aunt Li didn't know that she had a treasure, but Qing Yatou knew that her family had hidden a treasure. Even when she was in trouble, she had no intention of using the treasure.
Like Aunt Li, Qing Yatou is obviously a person who sticks to principles. No one can persuade them of the truth they believe in. In the end, even Lu Jingyao is trying to persuade them.
Xu Youyou felt bad and asked, "Do you want to continue studying? I support you in your studies, okay?"
Qing Yatou shook her head: "I want to study, but I don't necessarily need to go to university. I want to stay here and look after the house."
Seeing that she refused to leave, Xu Youyou asked, "I will help you live a life without worries about food and clothing, and make sure you are well protected, so that you don't have to worry about your aunt's embarrassment, okay?"
