Xu Xingguang pointed to the big tree at the entrance and said, "This is a chestnut tree. When I came here that year, the chestnuts on it weren't ripe yet."
But they came at a lucky time; the chestnuts were almost all ripe. Ye Mingluo said, "You all look for clues, I'll go pick chestnuts."
Huo Wen'an thought this arrangement was quite good. He said, "Get more, and don't make trouble."
Ye Mingluo glared at him, then snatched Huo Wen'an's cane and climbed up the chestnut tree.
The kitchen of the old house had completely collapsed, opening up the hall, and the locked main door was practically just for show.
The four of them walked from the kitchen into the hall.
The hall floor was covered with a layer of cement, so weeds didn't grow. But the wooden furniture inside the house had long since rotted, and tables and stools were lying on the ground.
