Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Jiang Xiaolang's Escape

Pei Yunjin was greatly surprised upon hearing these words: "How could this happen? What is the identity of that person and do you know the specific process

Xiao He said, "I don't know, that person didn't reveal it. After asking, he hurriedly left. I'm coming up now

Pei Yunjin sat slowly on the chair with a furrowed brow and said, "Xiao Lang would kill someone. He clearly doesn't have martial arts skills, how could he possibly kill more than ten people

Xiao He said, "Xiao Lang's identity is mysterious, and it's not surprising that he has accomplished great things. It's just that the person just now had a strong aura and was undoubtedly a master. This person is just a spy, and it's not easy to imagine the people behind him. Xiao Lang's pursuit this time is probably very dangerous

Pei Yunjin frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "Call Xiaoqing, Uncle Ma, and Mr. Chai

Xiao He paused for a moment and said, "Uncle Ma, Grandpa Chai? Miss... do you want to get involved in this matter

At this moment, Pei Yunjin showed no signs of laziness. His gaze was cold, and he exuded a strong killing aura: "Xiaolang has shown me kindness. No matter who tries to harm him, Pei Yunjin will never stand idly by. Ignorant bandits, how dare they speak recklessly and bloodily wash the Linjiang Pavilion? I want to see, who has the courage to do so in these eight thousand miles of Canglan River

Aren't you going to run away? Why did you let the horse go

Bai Xiaocui is quite dissatisfied with hiking.

Jiang Fan chuckled and said, "Running is also a scoring method. Let them play with these horses for a while first

Bai Xiaocui frowned and looked down from the cliff top. The two horses had long disappeared without a trace. Just now, Jiang Fan didn't know what method he used to make the two horses seem frightened and run wild, leaving behind dust. I climbed up this lush cliff and leisurely lay on the rocks to take a nap.

Bai Xiaocui saw that he was confident and didn't ask much, sitting quietly under the tree to rest.

An hour later, a group of people and horses chased along the riverbank from under the cliff.

They left? "Jiang Fan lazily got up and asked.

Bai Xiaocui nodded and said, "What's the next step

Jiang Fan laughed very disdainfully and said, "Wait a little longer. If there are any other people or horses, they should go over in a while. We'll go back after dark

Go back? Where are you going? "Bai Xiaocui hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit confused.

Jiang Fan said, "Go back to the thatched cottage

Bai Xiaocui was a bit shocked by his brain circuitry.

It's very dangerous there, why go back

The most dangerous place is the safest. I dug a hole under the thatched cottage and stored a lot of food and good wine. We can't waste them. We can have a few days of leisure there

The most dangerous place is the safest place, "Bai Xiaocui pondered.

You're very smart

This is a good evaluation, but Jiang Fan doesn't think much of it. Everyone knows this kind of trick in his hometown. In his opinion, there is still a long way to go in terms of conspiracy and trickery here. If he were to bring those few books on conspiracy and trickery or those few military books, wouldn't it make the world go crazy?

What about Mr. Sun? "Mr. Sun is an old man, known as Sun Daotong. Now that the situation has been clarified, Bai Xiaocui no longer calls her grandfather.

Jiang Fan's disdainful mouth curled: "That old man is a thousand years old deep-fried dough sticks. He is very clever. He can do half of my routines. Don't worry, he knows."

Bai Xiaocui suddenly felt that she couldn't see through the old couple, but she inexplicably found it very interesting in her heart.

As Jiang Fan expected, soon another group of people passed by, and the number was quite large. Since then, no one else passed by until it got dark.

You can go back now. Jiang Fan called Bai Xiaocui and didn't deliberately hide. In the cool autumn night breeze, the two of them strolled leisurely and walked comfortably.

Although Bai Xiaocui had imagined what a cave would look like, she never expected it to be so comfortable.

I don't know what the young man was thinking, but the underground cave was actually a suite with three rooms. The walls are painted with white ash, clean and bright. Tables, chairs, benches, tea sets, and wine cups are all available. There are some books on the bookshelf, two lounge chairs, and a lot of salted fish and smoked meat. In one room, there are even some fresh vegetables stored. Several large jars of wine are neatly stacked in the corner of the wall, and there are even pots and darts to play with.

What's even more surprising is that the ventilation is not designed properly, and the indoor air is fresh without any stuffy feeling like a cave.

Do you call this a cave

Bai Xiaocui turned around the three rooms and couldn't understand why she didn't make the thatched cottage more comfortable during this time, instead wasting it on the so-called underground cave.

It's just a cave, with simple conditions. I won't live here for long anyway, so let's settle down. I'll go take a shower first

Bai Xiaocui was a bit speechless. She had just seen a swimming pool in a certain room

After Jiang Fan came out, he saw Bai Xiaocui playing with the lounge chair.

This thing is comfortable, you can lie down and try it out

I've tried it, it's great for the elderly. You're young, you shouldn't be so lazy

Jiang Fan chuckled and said, "How comfortable it is? In my opinion, it's better to sit than to stand, and it's better to lie down than to sit. I don't know what will happen today or tomorrow, but every second is comfortable

One second? "Bai Xiaocui seemed to have no recognition of this term.

Oh, it's like dividing an hour into 120 parts, each part I call a minute, and then dividing another minute into 60 parts, which is one second, "Jiang Fan patiently explained.

It's very short. "Bai Xiaocui thought for a moment and realized that this time was really short. I increasingly feel that this young man is too lazy, even taking a moment to live leisurely.

Just, how can we measure such a short time, like a snap of a finger

Jiang Fan didn't expect Bai Xiaocui to be very interested in this. After thinking for a moment, he took off a necklace from the shelf and opened the circular pendant the size of a walnut. "Look, I hired a lot of people to spend a year making this. Although the accuracy is relatively poor, it can still be used barely. It's much better than your vague concept of time

The circular lid was opened, revealing a strange disk with stripes evenly spaced along its circumference. Fix the tips of three needles of varying lengths and thicknesses at a point in the center of the disc.

How to use it

Simple, you see, there's a button here. Pinch it and rotate it until it can't turn anymore, and then it will turn. I call this shortest and thickest needle the hour hand. It takes six hours to turn once on it, which is exactly half a day's work. Turning two times makes a day and a night. For convenience, I divided half an hour into a large grid

Jiang Fan patiently explained to Bai Xiaocui. Bai Xiaocui's eyes lit up with a strange light as she listened. This thing has precise timing and can be called a treasure!

The young man in pajamas, swaying on the rocking chair, with such whimsical ideas, is truly breathtaking. If it spreads, it will definitely change the way the world watches time. But this young man is so lazy that it's hard to associate him with this strange thing. However, thinking about his statement that 'the lazy one wins the world', I vaguely feel that there is some truth to it.

Bai Xiaocui couldn't bear to let go after tinkering for a while.

Jiang Fan saw this and jokingly said, "This thing is called a pocket watch. I made two of them at the beginning, and one of them will be given to my wife in the future. I don't have anything valuable, so I must have a decent token of love when I marry my wife in the future

Bai Xiaocui's slender sword eyebrows twitched a few times and silently hung it around her neck.

Jiang Fan froze and said, 'You... this...'

Bai Xiaocui gave him a cold look and said, "For now, I am still your wife

But that's not true... "Jiang Fan felt a little sore.

Bai Xiaocui didn't look at him either and said, "I'll pay you back when I remember

Now it's dark. That stray dog at home has never spit out bones that reach its mouth. You've only been feeding it for a few days, how can you learn this skill?
