Time Travel Adventure

"I tell you, there must be secret passages between these two places, otherwise how could he come back faster than us?"

When I think of the hardships on the way back, my heart is filled with sadness. If this second uncle has a secret passage, wouldn’t it be a waste of all my time?

At that time, we felt like we were sneaking into our own house, just like when we were kids and secretly bought snacks for fear that our family would find out.

"Hey, tell me, do you have X-ray vision? Otherwise, how can I find it?"

"Humph."

I slapped Nannan on the head. In order to facilitate communication, I let Nannan turn into a child.

It is also more convenient. Even if I am discovered, I can say that I don’t know whose child ran in and I wanted to drive the child out.

I didn't dare tell Nannan about this, because if I told her, he would never come in.

"Nannan, do you see anything? We are going to make a turn soon."

The Li Mansion is quite big. My legs are a little sore from walking around. Nannan just looked around with a frown on her face and couldn't say anything for a long time.

I was really tired from walking, so I sat down on the ground and didn't want to move another step. I was already sneaking around, and had to hide when I saw people.

"It seems to have a smell, but it's very faint. I can't find where it is."

"What does very light mean?"

"There is a strange magic circle, but it has not been activated yet, so I can't get there."

I roughly understood what he meant, "Then wait, I just happen to be staying at the Li Mansion."

This should be the exhaustive method. Since people are here, the formation will be activated sooner or later. There is nothing else to do anyway. It's just right for me to accompany Zi Fu and see how the story between her and Shen Jing develops.

I have already interfered once, asking Hongdou not to tell Zi Fu. I still have to wait and see what happens. Who knows if there will be a backlash? If there is a backlash, I will be dead.

I found the most remote room I could find and stayed in, and told them that Zi Fu's room was a bit noisy because people came and went every day. This excuse was very far-fetched.

But it's a bit far-fetched to say that there is no discount, it's better than saying nothing, and I don't feel the musty smell and dampness that affect me living here.

It's quite comfortable, not cold, and the sun doesn't shine into the room, which is great. I care more about the softness of the bed. Since I'm the daughter of the Li family, I can afford to be a little extravagant.

I asked someone to make the bed thick and the quilts were all dried in the sun, so they were super fluffy.

"It's so comfortable, Nannan, tell me, is it not good for me to be like this? My sister is pregnant, but I have laid out so many quilts."

Nannan also lay straight on the bed like a rope. She couldn't help arching back and forth, and then lying straight again, like a lunatic.

"You're not feeling comfortable like this. If you become a human, the force will be applied over a larger area."

"Oh, that's right." Nannan probably didn't understand what the force area meant, but she should know that it would be more comfortable to turn into a human form.

She is also very obedient, rolling around on the bed like Crayon Shin-chan, hahahaha.

"I'll give you part of this bed, but you have to pay attention to that magic circle."

"Hmph, think about it."

"Don't think about it. If you don't pay attention, believe it or not, I will use you as a sacrifice to the sword."

"You threaten me!"

"Think it over carefully. If we can't handle this, and we go bankrupt, we'll have to go out to work and earn money, and then you'll never be able to eat chestnut cakes again!"

Nannan was shaken by what I said. She didn't say anything, but just looked at me straight. Finally, after thinking about it and feeling that what I said was true, she slowly nodded.

"You know, these chestnuts are very expensive. They cost a lot of money."

"Really."

"Yes. A piece of chestnut cake wastes a lot of chestnuts. Chestnuts are so expensive nowadays. That's why it tastes so good."

I tried to fool my daughter with a serious face, but I can't say I was completely fooling her. These chestnuts are a bit expensive, and the labor is even more expensive. I made them one by one.

"Let's go to the kitchen."

"I'm not hungry, so I don't want to eat chestnut cake."

Hearing Nannan's words, I felt a little sad and began to reflect on whether I had said too much just now.

"Weren't you just yelling that you were hungry?"

"Um...."

Looking at Nannan's shy look, her thoughts were completely written on her face.

I sat on the bed, held my daughter in my arms and started a new round of coaxing her.

"Nannan, look, this mansion is still here, and we can eat chestnut cakes for free. We should eat more, right?"

"really?"

"Why would I lie to you? Let's go and see if there is any chicken so I can make you something delicious."

"Good~"

Children are easy to fool. They smelled the fragrance from far away and came to the kitchen based on their memory.

Hongdou was also in the kitchen, cooking medicine with a fan in hand. "Hongdou? What is this? Is it a pregnancy-preserving medicine?"

"Miss, why are you here too? Yes, this is the pregnancy-preserving medicine that Master Li said was passed down from his family."

"Is there anything to eat?" Since Hongdou was alone, I didn't bother to be polite with her and rummaged through the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen looking for something to eat.

I was looking for her when I realized she was missing. "Hey, where is she?"

"Miss, call me."

"No, did you see a little girl?"

Hongdou shook her head in confusion. It was strange. I was still talking to her before she entered the room. Could it be that the magic circle was activated?

"Hongdou, help me prepare some food. I'm going out for a walk."

Hongdou also responded obediently, turned down the fire, and got up to pick vegetables.

I was sure that Nannan would have no time to pay attention to me, so as soon as I went out, I rushed to the place where I had talked about the magic circle before.

"Hey, it's a human, not a snake."

"Ah, there's a snake!"

I was looking for it when I heard someone shouting loudly. When I heard it was a snake, I subconsciously thought it was Nannan, and rushed towards the sound again.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zi Fu and a few old women. On the ground was a small black snake, a cobra, which was in a state of combat readiness and bared its teeth at those old women.

"Isn't this Xiao Hei?"

The little black one here is the one that was with Nannan before, because this snake is really different from the others, there is a black spot on its head.

Looking closely at the black spot, it was quite eye-catching. I rushed over, hugged Zi Fu, and yelled, "Zi Fu, hurry up, this snake is poisonous."

Those old women were just about to hold down the snake when I rushed out. They were startled and went straight to pull me up.

"Who are you? Let our young lady go."

"open!"

"If you don't let go, I'll call for help."

I struggled and watched the little black man disappear before I let go.
