Fast travel: The host is too crazy to shoot, the system can't stop it

Chapter 158 Rivers and Lakes ([-]) Backyard

Hearing this proposal, Yan Nanxu froze for a moment, then confirmed, "Are you in the yard tonight?"

"Yes," Ye Chen replied immediately, "Just tonight, I observed that the cooks and servants basically stay in the backyard. If the uncle's son sees anything, it is likely that he saw it in the backyard."

Ye Chen thought for a while and added, "I'll call Brother Chu right away, the three of us will see who is playing tricks together."

There are no waves without wind, rumors of haunting are everywhere, and they saw the condition of the old man's son with their own eyes. There may be something wrong with the villa at night, so it's good to check it out.

Yan Nanxu nodded in agreement.

"Okay, see you that night!" Ye Chen clapped his hands and ran away, ready to call the next person.

The system thought for a while, and asked: "Host, do you think the people from Lingde Villa are pretending to be ghosts?"

Yan Nanxu picked up the orchid in the vase. The orchid was elegant, fragrant and full of vitality. It was obviously a carefully selected variety.

"It's not like, Lingde Villa attaches great importance to this banquet, how could it be possible to deliberately do such a thing to provoke criticism?"

"Isn't that what they did?"

Yan Nanxu put the orchid back, and said in a low voice, "It wasn't intentional, but it might be unintentional. Maybe they did something, and then accidentally leaked the news."

To put it bluntly, they didn't pretend to be ghosts on purpose, they just did something like "ghosts".

As the sun was setting, Yan Nanxu went to the backyard as he said. It was past dinner time, and everyone basically went back to their rooms to rest, and no one had the leisure to come here to enjoy the scenery. The backyard was very cold.

As soon as Yan Nanxu stepped into the backyard, there was a voice from among the flowers, "Nanxu, this way."

Following the voice to find Ye Chen, Yan Nanxu froze for a moment when he raised his head, frowned and asked, "You... who hit you?"

Just now it was a little far away and I couldn't see it clearly, but now I got a closer look, the bruise on Ye Chen's right eye was really conspicuous, and it seemed that he had just been beaten not long ago.

"Ah, this," Ye Chen smiled embarrassedly, and explained: "Brother Chu hit me, I just went to call him, and he punched me when he came up."

Yan Nanxu was puzzled and said, "Why?"

Ye Chen scratched his hair, "Maybe it's because... when I opened the window, he seemed to be changing clothes? But I didn't see anything at all, and it's all men, what are you worried about?"

Seeing Ye Chen's bewildered look, Yan Nanxu sighed in his heart, not going to talk about it anymore, but instead asked: "Are you sure you want to stay here at night?"

The dusk was deep, and Ye Chen even chose flowers to hide from. The flowers here are lush and leafy. It is indeed a good place to hide, but this season...

"It's right here," Ye Chen said without hesitation: "This place has a good hidden view and a good view, absolutely no problem! Oh, by the way, Nan Xu, are you afraid of the cold? Why do you wear so many clothes in this hot day, and even bring a bamboo hat with you?" Come on, there is no sun and no rain, why do you need a bamboo hat?"

Seeing that he had no intention of changing places, Yan Nanxu didn't try to persuade him anymore and just replied: "You will know later."

Ye Chen was a little confused, but he didn't take it seriously, the two of them guarded together in the flowers.

And when the moon was on the willow branches, Ye Chen really understood the meaning of Yan Nanxu's words just now──
He was dying, bitten by mosquitoes...

As we all know, there are many mosquitoes on summer nights, let alone among the flowers in the backyard.

As a secretly observing person, Ye Chen naturally couldn't move around casually. In addition, he was wearing thin clothes, and a lot of skin was exposed on the corners and corners of his greedy cool. This is simply too wonderful for mosquitoes, isn't it?
Now Ye Chen knew why Yan Nanxu was wearing such tight clothes and wearing a bamboo hat. When the white gauze veil cap on the bamboo hat was put on, the defense was perfect. Mosquitoes couldn't get in anywhere, and they all came to him.

"How about you go back and change clothes?" Yan Nanxu suggested.

Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, and said firmly: "No, I'll watch with you, in case something happens halfway, it's okay, the mosquito will stop biting after a while."

Hearing what he said, Yan Nanxu couldn't help laughing, took off the hat and put it on Ye Chen's head, and said casually: "Are you going to feed the mosquitoes? Wear it, it can't block it all, but it should be fine." point."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to decline, but seeing Yan Nanxu didn't intend to say much, and he was really about to be bitten out of his psychological shadow, so he said thank you and accepted.

The two of them stayed until midnight and saw nothing unusual. The only thing that could be regarded as something wrong was that the supper passed around several times in the kitchen. Seeing that the maid was going to deliver it to the main room, it should be ordered by Sun Qian'an, the owner of the villa.

Ye Chen finally couldn't help but whispered when he saw the maid come for the supper for the fourth time: "What's the matter with Sun Qian'an? Are you afraid of being overwhelmed by eating so much? And it's been a few days and he still hasn't slept? Isn't he still going to host tomorrow?" Banquet?"

"Oh, I see," Ye Chen began to guess wildly, "Could it be that uncle's son ran away home overnight because he thought he ate too much and was tired?

"how is this possible."

"That's right." Ye Chen probably felt that this idea was too outrageous, and said again: "Why don't you follow the maid who delivered the meal to have a look?"

As he was about to leave, Yan Nanxu caught him in time and reminded: "There are not many guards in the backyard, but there are quite a few in the front hall. If you follow him rashly, you will definitely be discovered. You should be careful in other people's territory. "

Ye Chen thought about it carefully, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that this person always thinks of one thing and does another, and his actions are a bit thoughtless, Yan Nanxu is also helpless, and asked casually: "Speaking of which, did you come here under the order of your family? No one is with you anyway." you?"

The Ye family is one of the largest big families nowadays, so when the young master comes out, no matter what, he shouldn't follow alone.

"This, no, I sneaked out, and my parents didn't know."

This answer was a bit unexpected, Yan Nanxu asked subconsciously: "Why did you sneak away?"

Ye Chen didn't seem to want to hide it from him, and said bluntly: "Because my family is a little sensitive about the blood cloud scroll, everyone in the world knows that the Ye family once owned the blood cloud scroll, and then lost it for no reason. It stands to reason that the treasure at home should be stolen. Send someone to investigate thoroughly, but my parents are very strange, they keep secret about the blood cloud, and they don't even allow me to pursue the matter about the blood cloud, but I am really curious, so I sneaked out."

It sounds like Ye Chen's parents knew something. It seems that the theft of the Qijuan was not simple.

"Now it seems that sneaking out is the right thing to do," Ye Chen smiled at Yan Nanxu and said, "The world is very interesting."

"It's also very dangerous," Yan Nanxu emphasized: "Just like last time at the inn, be more careful next time."

"Well, I understand, it was an accident last time, and it will never happen again!"

The two stayed in the backyard until dawn, nothing happened, and the night at Lingde Villa was too peaceful.

Ye Chen was so groggy that he almost fell asleep. Yan Nanxu patted him and said, "It's almost dawn. Go back first. There are still a few hours before the banquet. You can still catch up on some sleep."

"Ah...ah?" Ye Chen opened his eyes in a daze, and it took him a long time to understand Yan Nanxu's words, and he replied intermittently: "Okay, okay... sleep, I'll go back to sleep... okay Sleepy, good night, Nanxu..."

Then Ye Chen started to walk towards his guest room with sloppy steps.

Yan Nanxu saw that his figure was unstable and wanted to go over to help him, but this guy's footsteps were flimsy but his movements were erratic, his speed was extremely fast, he ran a long distance in the blink of an eye, and even made people wonder if he used some light footwork?
"That, Dou..."

Yan Nanxu wanted to remind Ye Chen that he was still wearing his bamboo hat, but he ran too fast and disappeared after a while, so he had to give up.

Anyway, we will meet at the banquet soon, seeing that Ye Chen is really sleepy, so I won't bother you for the time being.

Yan Nanxu also returned to the guest room to rest first. Before noon, the maid came on time to inform the guests to attend the banquet. Everyone gathered in the main hall of Lingde Villa, waiting to watch the ceremony.

"Nanxu." Ye Chen saw Yan Nanxu from a distance, beckoned and ran over.

Yan Nanxu saw that his hands were empty, and asked, "Where's the bamboo hat?"

"Bamboo hat? Oh, bamboo hat!" Ye Chen patted his head and regretted, "I forgot to bring it here."

Yan Nanxu sighed helplessly, "Forget it, next time."

At this time, Chu Ruxue also arrived at the main hall, and Ye Chen immediately greeted her warmly.

However, when Chu Ruxue saw him, she seemed very uncomfortable, she didn't know what to think of, and shouted in shame and anger: "Go aside."

Ye Chen felt that she was still angry about what happened yesterday, after all it was his fault, so he proactively admitted his mistake, but Chu Ruxue couldn't drive him away, so he could only let him chatter by his side.

"Host, does the heroine really hate the hero now?"

"I feel that Chu Ruxue likes him a little bit." If you really hate him, just ignore him, why bother to listen to him every time?

At this time, all the guests were in place, the bell rang in the main hall, everyone fell silent, and the banquet officially began——
