Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

"Go, Stone!"

"Go Tiger Slave!"

"Give it your all, Brother Qing'an."

"Go, Brother Bai Tu!"

Inside the courtyard, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Chen Qing'an, and Liu Baitu were each holding two stone locks and struggling to lift them.

Outside the courtyard, a group of young men, about the same age as Tie Shitou and the others, were leaning over the fence, loudly cheering them on.

The four of them gritted their teeth, none of them willing to yield, staring at each other with all their might.

Near the wall of the house in Diao Chan's courtyard, she was sewing clothes with one hand while smiling and looking at the scene in the courtyard.

Since Duan Yu arrived, the small courtyard has been filled with countless energies.

The neighbors who often came to visit, and this group of guys who regarded Duan Yu as their elder brother.

In the past, the first thing I did every morning when I opened my eyes was to think about what to eat and what to do that day.

Life seems to be endlessly spinning in this hopeless cycle.

But Duan Yu's arrival shattered all of that.

In her life where she never saw the light of day, a towering tree was planted, and the seed of hope sprouted rapidly.

Now, every time I open my eyes, as long as I see Duan Yu sleeping beside me, life seems to be full of hope.

Outside the courtyard, a horse-drawn carriage slowly came to a stop.

The coachman jumped down from the carriage and then lifted the curtain.

inside the car.

Master Zhang, accompanied by two of his musicians, got out of the car and looked towards the courtyard.

“Huh.”

One of Zhang's men let out a soft exclamation: "Didn't they say that Li Gou'er has no children and is poor?"

"this......"

A dozen or so young people were gathered around the fenced yard, and several more were inside, sweating profusely as they lifted stone weights.

Master Zhang naturally saw this scene as well.

"It should be right," Zhang, the troupe leader, muttered to himself, then took two steps forward and asked, "Excuse me, is this Li Gou'er's house?"

The group of young people who were cheering were completely oblivious to the voices behind them, their attention drawn entirely to Shi Tou and the others in the courtyard.

However, the four people who were holding the stone lock and facing the stone outside the courtyard saw Zhang, the troupe leader, getting off the carriage.

boom!

Stone threw the stone lock on the ground and then stood up.

He looked at the three people, including Zhang, and asked, "Who are you?"

Before leaving, Duan Yu instructed that the family should be protected.

The sudden appearance of several unfamiliar faces immediately put Stone on alert.

Wang Hunu, Chen Qingan, and Liu Baitu, who were standing to the side, also stopped their competition, put down the stone locks in their hands, and stood up.

As soon as the group stopped, the dozen or so young men who had been cheering them on noticed three more people behind them.

They couldn't help but turn around and look behind them.

Being stared at by so many people all of a sudden, Zhang, the troupe leader, felt inexplicably flustered.

"Um... excuse me, is this Li Gou'er's house?" Master Zhang asked again.

Stone frowned and then nodded.

Li Gou'er was Duan Yu's uncle.

This stone knows.

"Yes, who are you?" Stone asked warily.

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then said with a smile, "It's like this, we're from Jinyang City, and we made a contract with Li Gou'er a couple of days ago."

"I came here specifically today. Could you please let us in, or could you please call Li Gou'er out?"

Stone looked Zhang, the troupe leader, up and down.

Seeing that he was dressed very appropriately, he was not some kind of villain or strongman.

However, coming in is definitely not an option.

"You all wait here. I'll go ask. Don't come in." After saying this to Zhang Banzhu, Shi Tou winked at Wang Hu Nu beside him.

Wang Hunu nodded.

Then Shi Tou turned around and jogged towards Diao Chan.

Diao Chan, who was sitting against the wall, also saw the person coming from outside the door.

I was too far away to hear what they were saying.

"What's wrong, Stone? Who are they?" Diao Chan asked, looking at Stone.

"Sister-in-law," Tie Shitou turned around and pointed at Zhang Banzhu and the other two, saying, "They said they're from the city and are looking for Li Gou'er."

"They said they had some kind of... appointment with Li Gou'er a couple of days ago."

"They wanted to come in, but I didn't let them."

"Sister-in-law, should we send them away first, or wait for Brother Duan to come back before making a decision?" Tie Shitou asked.

uncle?

Diao Chan frowned slightly.

His gaze fell on the side room at the very end of the three rooms.

Her uncle, Li Gou'er, is now imprisoned there.

This was given by Duan Yu.

Diao Chan pondered for a moment:

Two days ago, my husband said he would lock my uncle up here and not let him out.

Is it because of these few people?

Diao Chan looked at Master Zhang with a puzzled expression.

"Let's go, I'll go take a look first," Diao Chan said.

With her husband's little followers and so many villagers around, nothing bad will happen.

So she wasn't afraid.

Shi Tou nodded, then followed Diao Chan like a loyal guard.

As Diao Chan walked towards the fence, Zhang, the troupe leader, and his two subordinates also saw her.

Just one glance.

Master Zhang was stunned.

The Diao Chan of this moment was, if not completely different from the Diao Chan of a few days ago, absolutely worlds apart.

Wearing the brand-new dress, she perfectly showcased her figure, which had previously been hidden by coarse linen clothing.

A thin red ribbon was tied around her slender waist.

Long, beautiful legs.

In addition, her stunning beauty is enhanced by a light application of makeup.

Even though Master Zhang had seen many beautiful maids over the years, he still exclaimed in his heart, "How beautiful!"

value!

Too much value!

Let alone a gold medal.

That's ten gold coins.

It's worth every penny!

Such a beauty would attract the attention of even high-ranking officials and nobles.

"You...you are Diao Chan?"

Before Diao Chan could even ask, Master Zhang impatiently blurted out his own question.

Diao Chan was slightly taken aback, then nodded in confusion: "I am."

"Who are you, and how do you know my name?"

Diao Chan found it strange.

She assured that she had never seen the person before.

If that's the case, then why does this person know her name?

In contrast, consider Master Zhang.

After hearing Diao Chan's confirmation, his smile widened even more.

So he took out the indenture that Li Gou'er and he had signed.

Master Zhang, holding the indenture in one hand, smiled and said to Diao Chan, "It's like this, three days ago, I signed an indenture with your uncle, who is also your adoptive father, Li Gou'er."

"Let me introduce myself first."

“I am the head of the music and dance troupe of the Wang family of Jinyang. My surname is Zhang. You can call me Head Zhang.”

“Three days ago, I signed this contract of servitude with Li Gou’er, who is also your adoptive father and uncle, for one gold coin.”

"We'll arrange for you to be taken to the Wang family in two or three days to become a dancer."

"Today is the third day. The contract is here. You can call your uncle over and ask him about it."

A contract of sale?

The Wang family of Jinyang?

Dancer?

In an instant, Diao Chan's mind went blank.
