Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Chapter 222: The Arrogant Mr.

Because the strong wind caused the torches to sway and many of them were extinguished, the streets that were as bright as day suddenly became dark.

Moreover, Chen Xi's attention was mostly on Yao Jun, so she only had a general idea of what happened next, but she was already frightened to the point of turning pale.

In the quiet little shop, the grandfather and grandson leaned against each other. Outside the shop, the only sounds were the rustling of the wind, or perhaps the sound of the shadows dragging the corpse.

Grandpa Chen had long seen that Yao Jun was no ordinary person, and since he was older and had been born and raised in this era, he could accept things more quickly.

"Xixi, go get the young master a bowl of hot water." Grandpa Chen said softly.

Too many things happened today, and Chen Xi's emotions were up and down, especially just now. He thought he was doomed tonight, but he didn't expect that Yao Jun could easily resolve the situation.

Thinking of the scene she just saw, countless dark shadows fell from the sky and instantly drowned out the only light in the night, and that light was brought by people who wanted to hurt her.

Although she has lived in this era for more than a year, she originally thought that living in the capital of Chen State would be safe and stable. Even if someone wanted to deal with her, they would not dare to do so blatantly.

However, what she saw and heard that day, as well as her personal experiences, really slapped her in the face.

Tell Chen Xi that all the rules of this era serve the powerful, because these rules were made by them!

Looking blankly at the man sitting on the stool with his eyes closed, Chen Xi suddenly felt very cold.

He is also a powerful person, right?

Yes, if he was not a powerful person, how could he bring a maid like that with him when he went out, and how could he dare to kick the guard away in the street in front of so many people.

Just now, he just said two words and decided the life and death of dozens of people, but his eyes were incomparably calm.

It was as if it was not killing people, but killing chickens, dogs, and other animals.

Chen Xi felt her mind was in a mess. She was obviously saved by him and should be happy, but she felt a sense of resistance.

What did grandpa say?

The buzzing sound in his ears became louder and louder. Chen Xi could no longer hear anything and his vision began to blur. In order to see clearly, he could only open his eyes wide.

Suddenly, her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness.

Yao Jun suddenly opened his eyes, quickly stood up and walked over to pick up Chen Xi who had fainted on the ground, and under the guidance of Grandpa Chen, he carried her to her room and put her on the bed.

I touched her forehead and it was a little hot.

I have a fever!

Yao Jun's heart sank. Having a fever in this era was not a good thing. He asked Grandpa Chen to take care of the child first, and he quickly stood up and strode out.

Seeing his granddaughter suddenly fall ill, Grandpa Chen was both heartbroken and anxious. His son, daughter-in-law and wife all died of illness.

He went to the backyard, fetched a basin of cold water, brought it into the house, dipped a handkerchief in the water, and put it on his granddaughter's forehead.

Just after changing the handkerchief twice, there were chaotic footsteps outside the house, and then the tall Yao Jun walked in, followed by several people, one of whom was holding a small box in his hand.

When Grandpa Chen saw Yao Jun bringing the doctor, he quickly stood up and made way, begging, "Please save my granddaughter."

Yao Jun nodded, then his eyes fell on the doctor, "Hurry!"

In this era, doctors were ranked just below ministers, but when facing Lord Yao, they had no choice but to obey his orders, not daring to disobey in the slightest, and immediately stepped forward to diagnose and treat the patient.

While in her coma, Chen Xi had many confusing dreams. These dreams intertwined into a web that locked her tightly and dragged her into the depths of darkness.

In the deepest darkness, she suddenly returned to the modern era and saw her childhood self and the fire that consumed everything.

The flames surged like a demon that devoured everything, and sharp claws stretched out from the darkness, pulling her into even deeper darkness.

Just when Chen Xi cried out to the sky and the earth but got no response, a pair of warm hands grabbed her and her chaotic dream was instantly shattered.

That warmth made her feel very secure, at ease and infatuated, as if there was once such a person who saved her in times of danger.

After the doctor examined the patient, he administered medicine, wrote a prescription, and then said goodbye and left.

Mr. Yao ordered someone to send the doctor back and get the medicine back. Soon, Grandpa Chen and he were the only ones left in the room.

Chen Xi was too emotional, which caused external evil to enter his body. In addition to the medicines to expel the external evil, he also used decoctions to calm the nerves.

Yao Jun looked at the little fellow villager lying on the bed with her arms and legs bared, thinking that she must be having a nightmare, so he picked up a handkerchief, washed it in water, folded it, and placed it on Chen Xi's forehead.

Grandpa Chen: "Sir, go and have a rest. Leave these tasks to me."

Today, Yao Jun first rescued his granddaughter on the street, and just now he rescued both the grandfather and granddaughter, which means he rescued them twice in one day.

The old man has no way to repay such a great kindness, so why should he trouble him to take care of his granddaughter?

Yao Jun shook his head, motioning for the old man to go and rest first and he would take over later.

Grandpa Chen couldn't argue with him, so he had to leave the house and go to the kitchen to boil water and prepare some tea. Otherwise, even if he was asked to go back to the house to rest, he would not be able to sleep.

When Yao Jun was the only one left in the room, he first sighed, then took out a handkerchief from his arms, washed it in water, grabbed Chen Xi's hand, and wiped his arm to cool it down.

Then he took off her shoes and wiped her feet and calves. As for other parts, it was not convenient for him, a grown man, but he had arranged for someone to bring a maid.

After wiping, Yao Jun threw the handkerchief into the basin. Seeing that Chen Xi was still sleeping uneasily, he sat down beside the bed, took her hand, and pressed the Shenmen acupoint lightly to calm her down.

I couldn’t sleep well when I was a child. My mother was like that. When I think of her, I wonder how she is doing now.

Then he realized that although he had lived in ancient times for more than 20 years, when he returned to the modern era, only a moment had passed.

I laughed at myself, thinking that I have lived in this era for too long and have forgotten many things. I must recall them more often in the future, otherwise I will be in trouble.

Coming back to his senses, Yao Jun's gaze once again fell on the little face that was rosy due to illness, and he felt a little sympathy and an indescribable sense of relief in his heart.

"You'll be fine, little buddy, as long as I'm here."

"Cook more of the food I like in the future, and I will ensure your safety for the rest of your life!"

In the quiet room, a gentle and dreamy male voice sounded. Even Bai Xiaotao didn't know that Yao Jun's throat had healed long ago.

This time of traveling to ancient times was different from the previous ones. When Bai Meng or Yao Jun was one year old, he regained his complete memory.

In the words of the system, he could have recovered his memory earlier, but it was arranged at his first birthday in order to protect him.

Bai Meng was also very happy about this, otherwise he would go crazy if he was held in someone's arms every day. At least he could crawl on the ground at one year old and even walk a few steps unsteadily.

It is also said that the brain of children under one year old has not yet fully developed, and the things they see are completely different from those of adults, so people have no memory of this stage. This is the body's self-protection, deleting that memory.

Over the past twenty years, Bai Meng seemed happy on the surface, and neither her father Yao Shan in this life nor her mother Ji Shaorong noticed anything unusual.

Even Bai Xiaotao, who had been by his side for ten years, didn't know how lonely Bai Meng was.

The heart is like a rootless duckweed, unable to find support.

I can only recall the past and miss my family and friends every day.

It is also because of the tasks assigned to him by the system that he has been able to hold on until now and not go crazy.

Maybe he has gone crazy for a long time, but he doesn't know it.

No one knew how ecstatic Bai Meng was when he confirmed that Chen Xi, like him, also came from the future.

He is not alone!

Thanks to the fellow villagers who were arranged by the system!

[It has nothing to do with this system! ]

Bai Meng curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that could charm the world.

"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with you."

"Mr. Xi, you are really arrogant, haha."
