Chapter 4 Chapter 73 Young Grandma
"I'll stop here for the time being, there's no watch clock or anything like that, and I don't know what time it is. As for Xiaobai's words, tomorrow may come out of somewhere, I believe nothing will happen to him." Zhang Chen said.
"It should be eleven o'clock now, didn't anyone play the shift just now?" Although the insect firefly has changed its appearance, its behavior is still the same as before.
"I don't know what it means to be beaten." Zhang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said.
"When I was in Chinese class, the teacher said that when I beat down the shift (7 o'clock in the evening), I played three times in a row, one slow and one fast."
Hit the second watch (nine o'clock in the evening), hit again and again, and hit many times in a row.
When playing the third watch (11 o'clock in the evening), you should be slow and fast.
When playing the fourth watch (one o'clock in the morning), one slow and three fast.
When you hit the fifth watch (three o'clock in the morning), you should be slow and fast."
"I see, there is still knowledge in this, thank you. Let's get here tonight first, get up tomorrow and drive according to the situation, don't use the strength of extraordinary people until the last resort, the other party must have his purpose for letting us experience this. By the way, where is your room?"
"I live in the same room with the maidservant, just above the west door of the mansion leading to the young grandmother's west wing."
"Okay, I'm staying here in Nanyuan, you should be able to see it, it's a few small rooms side by side. If you have anything, come to me and try to avoid people's eyes."
After finishing speaking, Worm Firefly nodded, and the two disappeared on the roof of the mansion, and Zhang Chen naturally returned to his side room.
"Let's hope that, as Worm Ying said, the flow of time here is not consistent with real time." Zhang Chen slept on his wooden bed, slowly eliminated the distractions in his head and went to sleep, but the same as in school, he did not dream about anything related to this.
In the gray campus, because of the death of more than 300 people last time, many classrooms in the campus teaching building have been filled with students, and the feminine man in the black cloak has absorbed the gray gas from the mouth of each student from the teaching building. Strode out of the school building and walked in the direction of the grove.
However, the area around this grove pond is not bound by this gray space, and there seems to be a special energy that excludes the gray space.
"Hmph, this node is still so frenzied. The three little ants actually dared to jump in directly. What they did on campus before, they still looked a bit brainy, how did they become so reckless this time. It's okay, as long as the time to go there is slightly worse, it will be torn to shreds by the turbulence of time."
The man walked slowly to the small stone bridge and looked at the mossy pool floating underneath him.
"Just in case, let's sense whether those three ants are dead or not." The feminine man bent down and stretched out his wrinkled right hand towards the waterhole, and if there was light shining on the man's face under his cloak, he would surely be able to see a hint of jealousy in the feminine man's eyes.
As the arm touched the pool, a trace of gray line spilled out from the tips of the five fingers and headed towards the bottom of the water.
"Grunt" is just at the moment when the gray line is about to touch the bottom of the water. Several blisters emerge from the cracks in the worn porcelain mouths, obliterating the gray lines.
At the same time, a white arm reached out from the bottom of the water and grabbed the feminine man's wrist.
"Arrogant guy, now that my ghost body has become a prototype, do you still want to be presumptuous in front of me?" Feminine man under a black cloak. Roaring loudly at the waterhole, there seemed to be a movement under its cloaked body, streams of gray energy transmitted from its right shoulder downward, and the entire withered right arm, the muscles and blood vessels burst out, and the gray power flowed from the blood vessels to the grasped wrist joint, and began to sand the white palm.
"Click!" The white palm of his hand snapped off his wrist the moment it was sanded. And with a hard pull, the entire withered right arm of the feminine man on the stone bridge was directly torn off. Without his right arm, he was thrown out at a great speed and hit the concrete wall more than ten meters away from the pond before falling to the ground.
At the same time, the desertification was stopped when the white-skinned arm that was gradually desertified was withdrawn into the water.
"Haha, break my ghost arm. It seems that the strength shown before is not full strength, this plan not only greatly increases the success rate, but also can even exceed the expected effect, even if the three ants who fell into it are lucky enough to reach your realm, they will be killed by you in an instant."
There was no blood coming out of the wound on the cloaked man's severed right arm. Instead, it's flowing outwards with fine sand. When the man stretched out his delicate left palm to support the wound, the gray sand that had slipped to the ground before quickly floated up, and the man's right arm was built at a very fast speed.
After patting the dust from his cloak with both hands and pulling his hat down, he slowly walked out of the woods......
…………
When Zhang Chen woke up in the morning, the courtyard was still empty, and the other subordinates with the same identity as himself were still resting in their rooms.
"Looking at the weather, it should have just entered autumn, the morning sun has just appeared, and it is probably close to six o'clock in the morning." Zhang Chen didn't know what his subordinates should do, and when he saw a big bamboo broom standing outside the door of his house, he guessed that he should be responsible for cleaning the sanitation around the house.
Zhang Chen held a broom in his right hand and walked into the house to see if there were any changes.
"That little girl of insect fireflies, actually scattered thirty tracer insects in all corners of this house, and there are even more than ten on the street outside the house." The blood beetle that swallowed the tracer worm in Zhang Chentong's left arm was discovered as soon as he sensed it, so he didn't have to let the bloodlet beetle go out to monitor.
"Xiaofu,. [,! I did something wrong yesterday, but I knew to get up early to make up for it, and go and clean up the fallen leaves and dust inside and outside the gate of the house." Not long after Zhang Chen walked into the hall, an old butler with a towel walked out of a small room not far from him.
"Do you want to try to mentally control him, the housekeeper's words, it will be a lot more convenient in this house in the future." When Zhang Chen stared at the butler, he didn't know that there were water stains under the wooden door that he had walked in before. Zhang Chen, who radiated his mental power and had amazing perception, didn't even notice it at all.
If that's the case, I will directly control everyone in this house, and it will be meaningless. Since you want to get rid of your resentment, you have to know the roots, maybe it's not as simple as Yang Yuan's rumors about me, and there may be deeper secrets hidden here."
Zhang Chen looked away, and when the butler walked towards the main entrance of the hall with a bamboo broom in both hands, the water stains that were about to soak in the soles of his feet automatically retracted outside the door.
"I don't know how long I'm going to be here at this pace." Zhang Chen swept the fallen leaves on the hall and the gate in a pile, and his heart gradually became irritable because the progress was too slow.
"Knock knock!" Suddenly there was a knocking sound of the knocker outside the door, Zhang Chen put down the broom in his hand and came to the door, and did not open the door without permission because of his identity.
"The contemptible person is a candidate who went to Beijing to catch the exam, and he just arrived here after a few days, and I don't know if I can borrow the vacant room in the house to rest for a day. Because his family was poor, he didn't have enough copper coins with him." A very green man's voice came from outside the door.
"Xiaobai's voice? But I didn't feel his breath, what's going on?" When Zhang Chen heard the other party say the first word, he immediately concluded that it was Xiaobai, and at the same time radiated his mental power to the door, the person standing outside was indeed Xiaobai, and the scholarly costume was also the dress that Zhang Chen first saw Xiaobai in the well of the island.
"Please wait a minute, I'll go inside and ask for instructions." Zhang Chen didn't want to open the door without permission because of his identity, so he ran back to the hall and asked the housekeeper.
"The image and voice of me and Worm Firefly have changed, why Xiaobai still maintains the appearance of reality, what should be the reason for this. But you have to let Xiaobai come in first."
Zhang Chen just said the situation, but he didn't expect that the housekeeper who had some appreciation for himself just now suddenly became angry and said sternly
"Hmph, you still have to ask me for this kind of thing, it looks like you really broke your head last night. Every few days, some beggars pretend to be scholars, merchants, etc., and come to our house to spend the night. Take these, throw them at him, and send him away." The old man's butler took out three copper coins from his waist bag and handed them to Zhang Chen with a disgusted expression.
Just when Zhang Chen didn't know what to do, a gentle female voice came from the side of the hall.
"Xiaofu, right? Go and invite that scholar in, my Zuo family has been using the ancestral inheritance, and now the trend is getting worse and worse, if I can meet a talented scholar and give him a little favor, if he can be a high school champion in the future, then my Zuo family can also receive his favor."
It was the young grandmother that Firefly mentioned last night who spoke. Zhang Chen looked over, his eyes were clear, his eyebrows were trimmed and his nose was trimmed, and pear vortices appeared slightly on his cheeks, which was beautiful. The morning sun shines on her face, and it makes her complexion crystal clear, soft and beautiful like jade, but she has a very white complexion, a nose that is higher than that of ordinary women, and a faint blue of sea water in her eyes. The golden fork and jade branch on the head also reflect the dignity of status.
"Young grandma, this is not very good, in case it is someone else disguised, how is it good, maybe it is some kind of outlaw, and it will not be good to do something dangerous to you in a while." The butler hurriedly said.
"I think you are also old, and if you always avoid opportunities, you will never have a chance to get them. Whether he is a scholar or not, let me know with him on the same pair, and besides, there are more than ten members of my left family, even if he is an outlaw, can he still do anything? If something happens, it will be because these subordinates are incompetent, and the housekeeper who recruited these incompetent subordinates into my left family will be even more incompetent."
This delicate-looking woman spoke without a branch, and was clear about things. At first, Zhang Chen thought that she was a light woman who relied on her appearance to eat, but now she is a little ashamed when she thinks about it. And the old butler on the side was also flushed, and he didn't dare to say a word.
"Young grandmother, I'm going to let the scholar in, listen to his conversation outside the door, it should be a person who reads." Zhang Chen respectfully turned around and walked towards the gate, while the young grandmother behind him was looking at him with appreciative eyes.
