I saw that the mysterious man looked at his knife and then at Xiao Nan, and then said, "You really shouldn't be a person in this world." Looks like tonight isn't the time, I'll look for you again. ”

After that, he suddenly turned around and left, and Xiao Nan didn't have time to think about it, and immediately returned to the courtyard with Wanyue.

When they returned to the back room, Wanyue gasped in fright.

Xiao Nan also collapsed on the bed, the scene just now was really thrilling - only then did he remember that he had forgotten to ask the man in black what his name was, and he said that he was not a person from this world, could it be ...... Did he cross over too?! But how did he recognize himself as a time-traveler?

Who the hell is he?

There are more and more mysteries, but fortunately, since Xiao Nan came here, he has become accustomed to this kind of mystery and mystery situation.

The only thing that is certain is that he and Wanyue are safe for the time being.

At this time, there were the footsteps of the new purple slave outside, and someone was slamming the door frantically. It should have come to interrogate them.

Xiao Nan said to Wanyue: "Don't be afraid, don't show your feet." ”

Wanyue was actually frightened by the scene just now, but unlike ordinary women, she was particularly able to understand the overall situation, and knew that she would definitely not be able to retreat at this time, so she gritted her teeth and plucked up her courage to come to the gate of the courtyard again and open the door.

A group of purple-clothed slaves immediately rushed in viciously, grabbed Wanyue's shirt and interrogated her if she heard anything, Wanyue just shook her head, and Xiao Nan also came out with a cane and said: "We hid in the house according to the house rules, we only heard the sound of gunshots and cannons, and we didn't know anything!" ”

They seemed to be in a hurry, and they didn't have time to worry more about Wanyue and Xiao Nan, so they scolded and walked away.

Wanyue closed the door again, and this was the real stop.

That night, there were constant footsteps outside their door, and Xiao Nan finally couldn't bear the fatigue of this tossing and fell asleep.

The next day it was very gloomy, and he was woken up by the sound of heavy rain.

It was raining heavily, and it was daytime, but the lights had to be lit.

It stands to reason that the door ban has ended, Wanyue opened the courtyard door and peeked out, and saw that the little maids had begun to clean and work in the rain, and the bloodstains and corpses outside had long since disappeared.

No one dared to say anything about last night, no one dared to ask, as if nothing had happened.

There was even a painter who took the initiative to repair and paint the blackened part of their courtyard gate.

Rao was so carefully disguised that the bullet holes left in some of the walls were still a reminder of the incredible firefight that took place last night.

After Wanyue cooked for Xiao Nan, she took an oil-paper umbrella to buy vegetables on the street, it was raining too much today, there were almost no vendors in the market, and I didn't see any merchants open, and I didn't even see a few pedestrians on the road.

She deliberately went to the intersection where Xiao Nan said that they bought fried tofu yesterday to check, but the intersection was blocked by the people in the arrest room, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, saying that there was a vicious case of robbers killing people and stealing goods here last night, and it is now being investigated.

When Wanyue went out and told Xiao Nan all this information, Xiao Nan was glad that there were no cameras in this era, otherwise he would really be suspected.

Originally, the eldest lord of the Xiao family was going to celebrate his birthday, which should be a big festival in the whole city, but it was done like this, coupled with the sudden continuous heavy rain, which made the whole city covered with an indescribable gloomy fog, and under the heavy rain, people's fear of the eldest lord of the Xiao family seemed to be gradually exposed, and the whole city became lifeless.

Even so, in the evening, the row of the Xiao family was "resurrected" again, except for the blocked street, all the streets were hung with red lanterns again, even if it was still raining, the whole city was decorated red.

And Xiao's family is also lit up with lights, singing and dancing.

Because tomorrow is the real birthday of the eldest man of the Xiao family.

This day, which was forcibly smeared with festive colors by the Xiao family, has become a day that everyone in Xiao Town fears in modern times a hundred years later, and the nightmare of the eldest lord's aftermath has not disappeared for a hundred years.

And in the evening, Xiao Nan's small courtyard, which almost never has people or anyone else, actually came to two "big shots".

These "big shots" are actually not of high rank in the Xiao family, they are just servants, but their power is not small, and the housekeepers and aunts of each family and courtyard have to respect them.

These people are the people who specialize in taking care of the financial turnover of the Xiao Mansion for the eldest lord, and they also have a uniform style of clothing, not to mention, the eldest lord has a bit of a sense of modern management, and they are divided into categories.

These people are barely a middle-level manager, and they all wear robes with green satin edging, because the people of the Xiao family think that wealth is like flowing water, so green represents "wealth road", and those who are in charge of money wear this kind of green-edged clothes.

Since the eldest lord's armed guard is called the Purple Slaves, this group of people can also be called the Green Slaves.

Being a purple-clothed slave represents supreme authority in the Xiao family, but that kind of person has to be good and not afraid of death to become a good person, and ordinary people can't do it at all.

The threshold for the green slave is much lower, the main job of this group of people is to manage money, similar to accounting and finance in the enterprise, as long as there is the corresponding financial talent, plus shrewd eyes, there is a great chance of getting to the top.

Naturally, once this kind of person is in power, he is often lustful, bullying and concealing his subordinates, treating his master and licking his master, and picking his nose and eyes when treating his subordinates. In their eyes, the thirteen young people were not even as good as ordinary servants, so as soon as they came in, they didn't have much to say.

And when Xiao Nan was fine, he fortunately understood some of the arrangements and rules of the Xiao family, and knew what these people do, compared to the purple slaves, this group of people is a difficult little ghost, so he is extremely polite to them.

As soon as they came in, Wanyue gave them a seat in the living room and served tea, as if serving the master.

The head of this group of people was a middle-aged man with fat head and big ears, and he looked like a smiling tiger, he tasted the tea brewed by Wanyue and spit out: "Thirteen Shao, didn't I say, don't you have any good tea in this house?" How many of us can fool us with this inferior goods? ”

"I'm sorry, you're smiling, I was stolen by a few people with unclean hands and feet in this house a while ago, and I really didn't have any good left. Don't be surprised. Xiao Nan said with a smile, he privately stuffed money into the sleeve of this head under the round table, and the head of the head understood, and his tone eased a little, and said: "Ming is the birthday of the eldest master, a few of us are responsible for going door-to-door in this Xiao Mansion to collect the birthday gifts first, after all, there are too many people in this family and too much, and there will be guests tomorrow, so we can't be busy." I don't know what good things Thirteen Young has prepared?

Don't hide it, take it out. ”

When he said this, the meaning was obvious, the courtyard where they were responsible for receiving birthday gifts today was actually regarded as the people who were excluded from the circle of the big master, that is, those young masters or relatives who had no power or power.

Xiao Nan didn't know this leader, but judging from the fact that he only brought a young subordinate to receive his birthday gift, this person's grade should not be high among the green-clothed slaves, because his identity is in the Xiao family, and he is already very inferior to the stream.

But this kind of position of green-clothed slaves has to be said to be a fat poor, they go door-to-door to collect birthday gifts, and they will inevitably be "honored", because at least how much "welfare" each young master can get every month depends on these people. Often, with a stroke of their pen, some young masters could receive an extra sum of money, or receive additional provisions, such as fruit supplies in summer, charcoal, silk, and fur in winter.

But Xiao Nan is poor and white, what good birthday gift can he come up with?

The seventh young master said that he was going to buy a birthday gift and said that he would give him a copy, but in fact, there has been no movement to reply to him now, which shows that things must not be going well - it is also normal for young masters to suppress each other, and if you don't know who will make you stumble.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Xiao Nan went to "Future" before.

So he got up and said, "I'm going to get the birthday gift, please wait a moment." ”

Wan Yue helped him into the bedroom together, closed the door and whispered, "Young master, my embroidery ...... Do you want to ......?"

"Don't, it's not that you don't embroider well, but if we prepare too thinly, we will be truthful, and we will be framed when the time comes." Xiao Nan is now cautious in the Xiao family, after all, the Xiao family's family law is too perverted, and he really has to guard against everything.

Wanyue was a little disappointed when she heard this, and she said, "That's ...... What should I give? We really don't have any good things to give in the house......"

"Yes!" Xiao Nan suddenly had an idea. When he was searching for the supplies on the car, he still had a lot of snacks, and he instructed Wanyue: "You go to find the embroidered box you prepared for gifts that day, go quickly." ”

While Wanyue was rummaging, Xiao Nan opened the cabinet and took out a military lighter from the backpack he brought back, it is said that this lighter is specially used to deal with field operations, the shape is still quite simple and atmospheric, it is said that it is rocket and space fuel, and a lighter can even cook a bowl of noodles.

He didn't know what to think at the time, so he thought that the lighter was very useful, probably because he had watched too much of Bei Ye's kind of show, so he touched a lighter from the material box by the way.

In this era, Chinese mainland does not talk about lighters, and matches are not popular. After Wanyue brought the embroidery box, he seriously put the four lighters into the embroidery box and covered it, and asked Wanyue to take it out.

When they returned to the living room with the embroidered box, the two green-clad slaves were a little impatient to wait, and counted them down.

Xiao Nan said with a smile: "The two of you are not strange, because you are afraid of being touched by those subordinates on weekdays, so you hide it a little deeper." ”

"Yo, thirteen young man, what kind of treasure did you give?" The green-clothed slave asked, "Looking at the conditions of your house, it doesn't look like you can send something good." It's okay to say, if you send something too much, it's a violation of family law! ”

Xiao Nan opened the box with both hands and let them look at it.

I saw four lighters in the box.

The two of them suddenly felt very curious and asked, "What is this?" ”

Xiao Nan said: "This is the product I got from a foreign supplier, and won the gold medal at the American World Exposition." You can't buy this thing even if you have money. ”

Where do these soil buns know what the World Exposition is, they only know that these thirteen young people do have dealings with foreigners on weekdays, and they like to get some fashionable things from foreigners, and it is reasonable to take out this thing.

"So what's the use of this baby?" The Greenman asked.

Xiao Nan picked up a lighter and lit it in front of them, which immediately caused the two of them to exclaim.
