Only once

Regarding Father An's humble inquiry, Zhang Jimin said that he should not be in a hurry for the first time, and would explain after he had explained some important matters.

"Anything else?"

Yu Siqi was slightly startled.

"Absolutely. Don't look at you as a 'Time Walker', but you haven't been recognized by the Tower of Time for the time being, and you can't easily enter it.

So, the most important thing we need to do now is to get you a temporary 'certificate'. ”

Zhang Jimin put the firecrackers aside for the time being, looked at Yu Siqi, and said.

"Do you have to go to that 'Tower of Time'?"

Yu Siqi asked with concern.

"Yes, I have to go. There are many reasons for this, and when I get there, I'll explain it to you as it is. Now, remember... There are three ways to obtain a provisional proof of the Tower of Time when entering.

The first is to pass the trial of the tower guard. This is the most formal, and at the same time the most time-consuming, and it is obviously not suitable for people like you who can't travel far away.

Second, get a handwritten recommendation letter from the management team.

Originally, this should be the most convenient and efficient one.

However, after I inquired, you not only offended the four brothers of the Gang family before, but also teased them fiercely. Now let alone let those idiots write you letters of recommendation, I think it's hard to get them to come out and have a meal with you.

As a result, we are left with only this third possibility. To be honest, I really don't want you to choose this kind of luck component unless you have to. It's a bit embarrassing if it doesn't work out. Second, I've always been a big fan of overly random options.

But now, it seems that this is the only one left for you. Zhang Jimin took out a small note from his pocket, stuffed it into Yu Siqi's hand, and whispered: "Remember to burn it after reading it, it is 'confidential content'." Write it down and you may be able to use it later. ”

"Confidential?"

Yu Siqi opened it with great interest, and found that it was written densely in a font no larger than mung beans - 'What is the most industrious and lazy number?' The answer is one and two. ’

"Why are one and two the most industrious and laziest numbers? They're just numbers! ”

Yu Siqi asked puzzled.

"Probably because 'if you don't do it, you won't stop it.'"

Father Ann smiled and said.

"Is that what happened? Isn't the 'secret' in Mr. Zhang's mouth a brain teaser that can be seen in the ordinary market? ”

As soon as Yu Siqi finished speaking, Zhang Jimin turned his head to look to the side, and said with an embarrassed expression: "It's not as simple as you think." ”

"I think let's talk about other uses of firecrackers. What do you think? ”

Of course, Father An noticed Zhang Jimin's embarrassment now, but he didn't say anything, but kindly found a step for him.

"Okay..."

Zhang Jimin was not a fool after all, of course he could see that Father An was lifting himself, so he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Then, he took the firecracker in his hand and said to the big guy: "According to the boss who sold me firecrackers, there are 10,000 rings in total, and it can make noise for up to three minutes." Considering that today's merchants are generally not very good at 'truthful description', I personally think that its length alone is obviously not enough to meet my needs.

But the good thing is that no matter how much the merchant cheats, this thing can still sound.

As long as this is met, it is enough for me. ”

"Is the sound of firecrackers enough to scare away the guys watching here? How do I feel so unreliable! ”

Yu Siqi looked at Zhang Jimin with a suspicious expression.

After experiencing the 'brain teaser' just now, Yu Siqi was more or less skeptical of what he said to him.

"I never said I was going to scare them away. On the contrary, I was trying to lure them all out. ”

Zhang Jimin shook the firecracker in his hand and said.

"How can you be sure that those people will be attracted by the sound of firecrackers?"

Father Ann asked concernedly.

"They don't have a choice.

Now the entire major urban areas of Xinsong City are in a state of complete martial law, not to mention this small sound of firecrackers, even if someone honks the horn, it can be transmitted far away.

In such a quiet environment, what would happen if I let the 'thunder' I bought keep ringing?

They will inevitably come forward to negotiate with us, and at that point, I can force a win-win deal with them. ”

Zhang Jimin hung the firecracker on his body, walked to the hanger where he hung his coat, took out a lighter from his jacket pocket, and said, "What do you think of my plan?" ”400

"It's worth a try, all I can say is."

Father An actually wanted to say something, but after glancing at Yu Siqi, he didn't continue.

"What are we going to do if they don't show up? You've said it yourself, this thing will travel far and wide, if you attract the police or something..."

Yu Siqi saw that Zhang Jimin had opened the door, so he hurriedly said.

"You can rest assured that I won't let the sound 'travel too far.'" After all, I'm not particularly fond of people who cause trouble to others. ”

Zhang Jimin threw out the firecrackers on his body, then lit the fuse, and closed the door with his hand.

Soon, the deafening sound of firecrackers rang out in the courtyard.

At first, no one took the initiative to appear, as Zhang Jimin imagined.

It's just that as the smoke in the yard gets bigger and bigger, and the firecrackers themselves burn less and less, Zhang Jimin made a very strange action, he turned the wrist of his left hand counterclockwise half a circle, as if he was fiddling with the dial.

Then the firecrackers continued to sound for several minutes.

Whenever the sound of firecrackers was about to die down, he would come to do so.

After repeating, the firecrackers, which could only last for more than two minutes, rang intermittently for more than ten minutes.

If you want to say who is the most uncomfortable in the past ten minutes, it is undoubtedly Yu Siqi.

He didn't like the sound of firecrackers very much, so he plugged his ears with his fingers early. Doing so would help him block out most of the annoying sounds, but it would make his ears and fingertips sticky and covered in sweat.

Finally, the damn firecrackers were about to reach a twenty-minute mark.

A guy who was wrapped tightly up and down, so that people couldn't see his appearance, walked directly through the smoke, grabbed the remaining firecrackers with his bare hands, and snuffed them out.

Just when he finished this and was about to leave, Zhang Jimin's wrist flicked slightly, and the firecracker behind him, which had been extinguished, crackled and exploded again.

"Mr. Zhang, are you really crazy? Or are you going to bring the whole city over? ”

The man turned around and took it out, pinched the firecracker that was still in a lit state in his hand, and said impatiently to Yu Siqi and the others in the house.

"There's no way, who let your marquis be so faceless. Well, if you let me leave with people for a while, I won't play tricks on you anymore, how about it? ”

Zhang Jimin opened the door and strode out.

"No, Master Hou has an order not to let him go out."

The man shook his head.

"It's so unreasonable, then don't blame me for being unreasonable."

Zhang Jimin turned around and returned to the house, and the moment the door was closed, the sound of firecrackers rang out again.

"Enough, enough... Stop playing around with the little ones, okay? Mr. Zhang, you just let go of the small one, and I'll do things according to the rules! ”

This person looked at the firecrackers that he had pinched and extinguished and could continue to explode, and he was really a little crying and laughing. He walked straight to the door and said loudly.

"Don't you think I'm 'doing what I do'? To tell you the truth, if you don't sell my face today, then the sound of firecrackers will resound throughout Xinsong. ”

It is rare for Zhang Jimin to speak so hardly, which is really exciting.

"It's... Mr. Zhang, how long are you going to take him away? ”

The man outside the door hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.

"I'll be back before dinner."

Zhang Jimin said lightly.

"Too long, isn't it? If the Hou Ye knows..."

The man tried to bargain, but was directly interrupted by Zhang Jimin.

"Only those of us know about this, if you don't say it, I won't say it. I think your Hou Ye is busy with official business, how can he care about such a trivial matter? Besides, if he finds out, you can put all the blame on me.

I believe that your lord will definitely not be too difficult for his loyal eagle dog. ”

Zhang Jimin opened the door again, looked at this person who was wrapped like a dumpling, and said.

"Just once?"

The man raised his head and looked at Yu Siqi who was standing behind Zhang Jimin with special eyes.

"Just once." Zhang Jimin picked up his coat and hat, turned to Siqi, and said, "Come on, I'm afraid we have to hurry." ”
