Time and Space Tavern

Chapter 5 The Secret of the Tavern

The next day, Qiao Mu took out the little money left to buy a lot of stewed vegetables and extravagantly made some stewed beef. He also bought a pot of duck feet in advance and put them on the borrowed induction cooker until midnight. At that time, the three brothers who had never met arrived.

As dusk fell and the bright moon rose into the sky, Qiao Mu frowned when he heard the sound of the whistle outside.He looked up at the clock, which showed twelve midnight.Everything was the same as any other time, no accidents happened.

This made Qiao Mu a little confused: Could it be that it was all hallucinations before, and what he saw was not Guan Yu?
The signal on the mobile phone was full, and Qiao Mu was in a complicated mood. After one o'clock, he still couldn't see anything unusual, and Qiao Mu closed the door in disappointment.

For the next three days, no accidents happened, as if the previous events did not exist at all.If it weren't for the existence of the dragon-shaped jade pendant, Qiao Mu would even suspect that he was just having a dream.

During this period, a group of people from the street committee brought several staff from the demolition office to negotiate the demolition, but Qiao Mu prevaricated them.

On the fourth day, Qiao Mu closed the door, climbed onto the table, took out the hammer he had prepared earlier, and tapped on the wall, but found nothing abnormal.Soon, he moved the hammer to the electronic clock.

This electronic clock was embedded in the wall. He searched the Internet before, but found no similar clocks for sale.After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Mu swung his hammer and slammed it hard on the clock.

"If everything was just an accident, destroying it might be able to end it all, and avoid leaving people with nothing to think about." Qiao Mu's eyes showed determination.

boom!
The hammer hit the electronic clock hard, making a deafening sound, which made Qiao Mu feel a little dazed.The powerful reverse thrust caused his body to sway, and he was about to fall off the table.

"Damn it!" Qiao Mu scolded his mother in his heart, and then he lowered his head to the ground. He vaguely seemed to see a flash of electricity flying out of the electronic clock.

"Why is there still a leakage?" Qiao Mu thought of this, and felt dizzy at the same time, and completely passed out.

In the daze, Qiao Mu seemed to see his second uncle, he looked haggard, but with a smile on his face, he said to Qiao Mu: "You are the hope of our old Qiao family, please don't let those guys underestimate you... "

He rambled on and said many things that Qiao Mu could not understand.It wasn't until his voices turned into a harsh buzz that Qiao Mu suddenly woke up.

His first thought when he woke up was severe pain, and when he reached out to touch it, there was a big swelling on his head.Holding on to the table and standing up, Qiao Mu looked and suddenly found that the house in front of him was light and dark, flickering, sometimes it was the gray wall, and sometimes it was a piece of silvery white like metal.

"It must be an illusion." He rubbed his eyes vigorously.

When he opened his eyes again, he still found that the walls, ceiling, and ground in front of him were switching between the two states, which was extremely strange.

"Could it be that the head was damaged, or the optic nerve was damaged?" Qiao Mu felt dizzy for a moment, and his heart wanted to cry, but there were no tears.

Kaz... Kaz...

Sounds like electric currents echoed in his mind. Qiao Mu squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, feeling that the sky suddenly became dark.

Feeling sad for a while, he shook his head in distress, thinking to himself that he had to find time to go to the hospital. He was still young, so he couldn't be like his uncle.

Looking up, he stared at the gleaming table, feeling thirsty.

"It would be great if the cup could come directly to my hand." Qiao Mu fantasized unrealistically.But just when he had this thought, the scene in his eyes suddenly turned metallic, and the teacup actually drew an arc in the air, hovering over his mouth accurately.

"Mom!" Qiao Mu exclaimed.What followed was a crisp sound of "bang", and the cold tea touched his feet, which woke him up.

After the initial panic, Qiao Mu quickly recovered.

He looked at the tavern in front of him, and as he concentrated his thoughts, the tavern became that sci-fi silver color in his vision.He tried to reach out, imagining that the chopsticks in the distance fell to his hand, and saw the chopsticks passing by in the air...

After more than ten minutes of experimentation, Qiao Mu closed the door and sat down on the ground in surprise.

He's healthy and better than ever!

After a short period of testing, he really discovered something strange about the tavern.For unknown reasons, the tavern has two states, or in other words, there is a layer of silver-white substance on the walls of this seemingly ordinary tavern, and after being electrified, I can see the tavern in that state.

At the same time, in the tavern, his mind could control all items, but it was very energy-consuming. He only had a splitting headache after trying it a few times.

"However, these seem to be not enough. It seems that something is missing." Qiao Mu thought to himself, but quickly shook his head.

In essence, he is an easy-to-satisfy person, so getting these is enough of a surprise.

"Next time you meet a country bumpkin like Guan Yu, you can really pretend to be a god." Qiao Mu raised the corners of his mouth proudly.

On this day, he felt so energetic that when he ran into Aunt Liu on the road, she asked him gossipingly if he was in love.

While taking a nap, Qiao Mu had a strange dream.In the dream, a child complained to him that he was very hungry. When he asked who the other party was, the child smiled and said, "I am you."Qiao Mu woke up with a start, lying on the mattress, with his head on his head, staring at the simple white ceiling.

As he concentrated, the ceiling changed for a while, becoming a metallic silver.

A sense of close connection emanates from him and this room. This feeling is very mysterious and can only be felt but not expressed in words.

Qiao Mu got up nervously, took out a hammer and slammed it on the wall, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't damage the wall one iota.He touched it carefully, only to find that the seemingly ordinary paint was so dense that even a sharp dagger could not leave scratches.

"There must be something missing." Qiao Mu thought to himself, he felt an unknown daze and uneasiness in his heart.

Every time he fell asleep, the child would appear in his dream, yelling at him that he was hungry, which made Qiao Mu not have a good rest for three days in a row.

Although Qiao Mu had discovered the strangeness of the entire tavern, there was no connection door with the Three Kingdoms era, making Qiao Mu's idea of ​​pretending to be coercive and defrauding money in vain.

Holding the jade pendant in his hand, he whispered, "Maybe we have to sell it."

Now that the abnormality of the tavern has been discovered, Qiao Mu is naturally unwilling to watch it be demolished.Therefore, the original promise to his uncle, which was only of a coping nature, became the reason why he decided to stick to it.

"This jade pendant is not ordinary at first glance, maybe it can be sold for a lot of money, just in time to renovate the tavern."

"Regardless of whether I can meet people from another space again in the future, I have to keep the tavern going."
