Time travel: Are you as professional as him in eating dog food?

Behind the thick quilt, a pair of big eyes were wide open, and he stared at the door without blinking...

"hiss"

Like the hissing sound of a snake, the eyes that were originally wide open suddenly closed for a moment, and then the quilt covered the little head again. Wen Baixu rubbed his eyes and curled up his legs slightly.

[Host, staring is fun, but it hurts your eyes. Your eyes are not big to begin with, so take it easy.]

"Bullshit! My eyes are as big as copper bells. Even gods are afraid of me. Even ghosts run away from me. What nonsense are you talking about?"

As he spoke, Wen Baixu threw back the quilt, jumped up, and vigorously retorted, but he forgot that he was in bed, and his bed had a roof.

A heavy muffled thud was heard in this small house. A thin Wen Baixu was seen. His body, which had been standing straight, gradually bent down until he was half squatting on the bed. He rubbed the side of his head with his hand and kept mumbling.

"Hiss~, my head, you damn system, you didn't even remind me, it hurts me so much"

[Host, although I don't want to admit it, I want to take back what I said before]

"What?"

You are very smart

"Am I not smart?"

[Host, I really don't want to say this, but I have to say: You are really stupid.]

Wen Baixu was about to refute when he heard this, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something. He rubbed his head, jumped to the ground, sat on the step, propped up his head, and asked with a depressed look on his face.

"You really think I'm stupid, but I just said something I wanted to say, why are you two so..."

[Host, you've jumped ship, the reason this system says you're stupid is because you have no common sense, not because of what you and that Gu Guoshi said]

"But... they all mean the same thing, they all say I'm stupid and dumb. If I were put in a palace drama, someone like me wouldn't survive past the first episode."

[Host, you are quite self-aware.]

"Alas...I said I can do it but you can't"

Wen Baixu slowly put down his hands that were rubbing his head, and placed his hands on his legs, looking extremely depressed.

[Host, although this system understands that you are very simple...]

"Hey...you...scolded me again"

[This is not an insult, host. This is an appreciation of your pure and kind character. However, this is not any dynasty you are familiar with, nor is it your future. Therefore, while maintaining a pure and kind heart, you must also have some edges and corners, otherwise you really won’t survive the first stage.]

Wen Baixu held his face in his hands, lowered his eyes, looked at the small toes and nodded slightly.

[OK, so this is over? ]

"Um"

[Then I will start the next stage]

"What"

Wen Baixu looked around in surprise, waiting for the system in his head to answer in confusion.

[Ding! The system reminds you that you have triggered branch line 7: His death. Where is he? Please complete the current task as soon as possible. Friendly reminder: branch line progress completed: %]

"Him? How would I know who he is or where he is? Even if you're just playing a riddle, you should at least give me some clues."

Wen Baixu couldn't hold it in any longer. He no longer bothered to reply in his head and asked loudly. His voice was particularly loud in the empty room.

[Host, I can't tell you, but... do you have Alzheimer's disease? You can even forget what you just did. Think about it yourself. This system needs to catch up on some beauty sleep.]

After saying this, the voice in my head disappeared instantly.

Wen Baixu was so angry that he stamped his feet. Not only was he angry that he once again said he had Alzheimer's disease, but also...

"Ding" Wen Baixu's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and a long thread like a clue appeared in his mind, floating slowly.

Wen Baixu stood up slowly, bit by bit, and walked towards the table step by step. When he reached the last step, a loud stomping sound rang out.

"Yes, I understand what the old lady said, right, Mianmian?"

Wen Baixu proudly stretched out one leg and shook it proudly, not forgetting to ask the system in his mind

But after a few seconds, not only in the house but also in his head, there was no sound.

"Fuck, he really went to get his beauty sleep, I give in."

Wen Baixu complained as he retracted his feet, slowly walked back to the bed, sat on the bed and fell into deep thought again.

"Where is he then?"

-----------------

The house was warm as spring, but outside it was cold and dry. A young woman under the eaves rushed to the door just as it was closed.

"master......"

"What's the matter?"

The man looked indifferently at Qiu Yu who was blocking the door and Qiu Yu who came later.

"Master," Qiu Yu was about to speak, but then he thought of something and looked around, then he spoke, "Master, Ah Xu is still a child, and he has a child's nature, so please don't be angry."

Hearing this, the man let go of the door that was about to close and looked at her hand.

Qiu Yu was startled when she saw this, and quickly let go of her hand, dropped her hands to her chest, and lowered her head.

"Sister...Master"

Qiuyu took a step forward, looking left and right. Although she was very anxious, she was powerless.

"Come in, don't block the door"

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house and sat on the stool.

"Yes, Master," Qiuyu said as she walked in first. She nodded at Qiuyu who was standing outside in a daze, and Qiuyu immediately understood and jumped in.

Qiu Yu immediately closed the door, turned around, walked forward, lowered her head and dared not look at the man.

"I can understand that he doesn't know, but what about you, Qiuyu, you have been with me the longest, how could you not know how dangerous it is there?"

The fingertips tapped the wooden table little by little, and the "click-click" sound struck Qiu Yu's soul directly.

"But Master..."

Qiu Yu stammered, looking cautiously at the man in front of her, unable to utter a single word.

"Master... I know there are many dangers over there, but if someone with the character of Ah Xu can finally... it will be a blessing for us at Sheng Qian."

"Qiuyu, are you going to take sides now?"

The man asked this question quietly, staring at the table without raising his eyes.

"Then Master...don't you hope..."

Qiu Yu raised her head in confusion and looked at the man

"Why, are you guessing what the teacher is thinking?"

"Disciples dare not"

Qiuyu lowered her head quickly, while Qiuyu beside her murmured, "But...you ran from such a long distance to save him, doesn't that mean something?"

"Hmm? Qiuyu, it turns out that you understand me so well that you can make decisions for me?"

He raised his eyes slightly, with a cold look in his eyes, and looked straight at her. He slowly raised his hand that was tapping the table, put his hair behind his ear, and supported his chin.

"Master...Qiuyu didn't mean that."

Qiuyu raised her head and argued loudly, but her footsteps, which had stopped where she was, unconsciously moved towards Qiuyu.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the whole house dropped to freezing point.

"Knock, knock." A knock on the door broke the tense atmosphere in the room. Qiu Yu glanced sideways, then looked at the man's expression. Then he nodded, walked to the door, pulled the door open, and looked at a man who looked like a servant standing outside.

"Hey little brother, what's up?"

The person outside the door saw that it was a woman who opened the door. This woman was gentle and graceful, with a rosy face, which made people... feel a little stunned.

"Bro?"

Qiu Yu saw the person in front of him standing there in silence, so he had to remind him again.

"Ah? Oh, I'm so sorry, please tell the young lady that the Marquis has something important to ask you, so I've sent a servant to invite you over."

As he was speaking, a man's voice came out from the room behind Qiu Yu.

"Qiuyu, ask him to go back and tell the Marquis first, I will follow later."

Qiu Yu turned her head back and smiled at the person opposite her.

The servant standing at the door bowed to show that he understood and left the man's door.

Qiu Yu watched the man walk away, then she gently closed the door and walked into the room.

"Master, I will go with you."

Before Qiuyu could speak, Qiuyu said that she wanted to accompany the man on this trip.

Qiuyu looked at Qiuyu and shook her head, while the man seemed to have other plans, so he waved his hand and looked at Qiuyu in rejection.

"Qiuyu, go help me with something later, and go to the west of the city to see if there are any clues."

"Should we bring Ah Xu along too?"

The man dusted himself off, stood up, put on his cloak, shook his head, walked to Qiuyu's side, patted her shoulder, and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear, "Use Thousand Miles Sound Transmission to find your Uncle Wen. I recently received news that he should be nearby."

When the man finished his last sentence, he squeezed Qiu Yu's shoulder and walked out.

Qiuyu nodded, and after the man left, she raised her worried face and looked at Qiuyu.

"Sister, it's Uncle Wen. If it's Uncle Wen, then this matter can be resolved quickly. We can quickly..."

Before he could finish his excited words, Qiu Yu looked towards the door, as if worried about something, and murmured:

"I hope so, but...I'm afraid it's not as simple as we think"
