Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

After finishing her training, Zhang Hanyan was about to check the various mechanisms as usual. As soon as she moved, her sleeve was grabbed by Zhang Qiling.

"Hmm? What's wrong, little brother?"

Zhang Qiling slowly loosened her sleeves and said calmly, "Together!"

"Together?" She hesitated for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something and smiled calmly, "Okay! Let's go!"

Zhang Yecheng looked at their backs as they left side by side, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.

He gently waved a palm-leaf fan to drive away the mosquitoes around him.

Brat, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get over the trauma of that incident, but now it seems... my worry was unnecessary...

"Brother, why do you want to be with me today? Are you worried that I will be embarrassed if I come out alone?"

Zhang Qiling looked directly into her smiling eyes, remaining silent and saying nothing.

But sometimes, silence is the best answer!

Zhang Hanyan raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded in understanding, "Okay, even if you don't say it, I know it."

When she smiled, her eyes as clear as blue waves were smiling, and the two shallow dimples on her cheeks were also smiling. One dimple was deep and the other was shallow, making her smile even sweeter.

"Let's go check out the bamboo forest outside first, from the outside to the inside, and then we can go back."

"it is good."

Zhang Hanyan walked with light steps along the way, and checked all the operating mechanisms and formations with the company of Zhang Qiling.

They came to the gate of the orphanage together. The mechanism array here was the last mechanism in Zhang's outer courtyard.

Zhang Mo stood at the door early waiting for her arrival. The moment he saw her, a smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Han Yan!" He waved his hand happily, "Why are you later than usual today? I've been waiting for a long time..."

"I spent some extra time checking other organs today. Why are you waiting for me? Is there something wrong?"

Zhang Mo smiled and shook his head. "No, I just wanted to chat with you, and also wanted to ask you if you didn't want that candy yesterday because... you didn't like it."

His words made Zhang Qiling, who was standing beside him, frown slightly and look displeased.

Zhang Hanyan paused as she pulled the lever, pondered for a long time, and still couldn't think of how to answer his question.

She couldn't tell him directly that Zhang Hanyan, who once saved his life with half a steamed bun, is dead. I am not her, so I cannot accept your kindness and gratitude to her.

She put the mechanism back, straightened up, and turned to look at Zhang Mo.

"No, it's just because I think it's not easy for you to have candy, so I should leave it for you. It's not because I don't like it."

Zhang Mo was delighted when he heard this, "Really? So it's not because you don't like it, but because you want to leave it for me to eat?"

When he found out the reason, he was extremely happy. He clenched the candy tightly in his hand and smiled so hard that his eyes were invisible.

"Well...we are going back now. You should go back too. It will be bad if someone finds you. Bye!"

Zhang Hanyan smiled politely, then turned and left feeling a little uneasy.

Zhang Qiling glanced at Zhang Mo, who was smiling with satisfaction, and followed Zhang Hanyan back without saying a word.

He always had an expressionless look on his face, so even Zhang Hanyan didn't notice that he was the least bit unhappy.

"You little brat, why do you have such a stinky face? Who made you angry?"

Zhang Yecheng whispered softly, asking him in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

But no matter how he asked, Zhang Qiling remained silent and said nothing, which made him very anxious.

He hurriedly slapped Zhang Qiling on the back, making a light "pa" sound.

"You old bastard, why did you hit that guy? He didn't provoke you!"

Zhang Hanyan threw down the clothes that she had not yet finished mending, stood up angrily and asked loudly.

Zhang Yecheng was stunned for a moment after being yelled at by her, and almost forgot why he slapped Zhang Qiling.

After he came to his senses, he didn't care why Zhang Qiling was unhappy. The only thing in his mind and eyes was that Zhang Hanyan was yelling at him.

"You little bitch! What are you yelling at? You are so rebellious that you even dare to yell at your master! I must teach you a lesson today!"

As he spoke, he walked quickly to the weapons rack, selected some, and finally pulled out the thinnest stick and walked back.

"I'm going to beat you up today!"

Zhang Yecheng swung his stick towards Zhang Hanyan, but she bent down and successfully dodged the stick that he was swinging with great force.

The moment the wooden stick was swung, Zhang Qiling felt as if his heart was beating out of his throat.

Even though he reacted quickly and tried to grab the stick with his bare hands, due to the distance, his outstretched hand missed.

"You still dare to hide! Don't run, just wait for me to catch you. Once I catch you, I will beat you to pieces!"

Zhang Yecheng roared, picked up a wooden stick and chased after Zhang Hanyan who was flying up and down on the plum blossom pile and dodging flexibly.

"Master, just give up! If you continue like this, your old bones will be broken apart! You are too old, it's not worth it!"

"What age do you mean? I'm just over a hundred years old! I look like a young man in his twenties. I'm in the prime of my life!"

"With your face, you have the nerve to say that you are no different from a young man in his twenties. You are not ashamed at all. You are obviously a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties!"

"I just look older. You are just a little girl, what do you know? This is the charm of a mature man!"

Zhang Hanyan spun around and stood on the highest plum blossom pile. Seeing that Zhang Yecheng was about to catch up with her, she didn't think twice, tapped her toes lightly, and jumped lightly onto the trunk of the ginkgo tree.

She held onto the tree trunk, sat firmly on a branch, and looked down from above.

Zhang Yecheng looked up at her in shock. "You! Such a high tree... Come down right now. What if you fall? Come down!"

Zhang Qiling frowned and looked up at her, a rare look of worry on his face.

"Hanyan, come down!"

"No, Master will beat me. I don't want to go down and get beaten. It hurts!"

Zhang Qiling turned his gaze back and looked coldly at Zhang Yecheng who was holding the stick, "Give me the stick!"

Zhang Yecheng was also worried that if Zhang Hanyan fell down, and something happened to her, he would definitely regret it.

He looked at Zhang Qiling's outstretched hand, and took advantage of the situation to back off and obediently handed the stick in his hand to him.

Zhang Qiling took the stick and threw it far away. The stick landed... at the gate of the yard. This shows how much force he used.

He looked up at Zhang Hanyan again, "Throw it away, come down!"

Zhang Hanyan looked at the wooden stick lying at the gate, smiled slightly, slowly stood up with the help of the tree trunk, and jumped down under the gaze of the two people.
