Chapter 1519: Sleeping on straw and tasting gall, enduring humiliation

At midnight.

Xiao Yan came out of Xiao Xun'er's room.

After climbing over ten walls.

Finally, I arrived at the courtyard where my father, eldest brother, second brother and I lived.

The yard is huge.

But there are a lot of houses.

The room in the middle belongs to Xiao Zhan.

On the left, it belongs to Xiao Ding.

To the right, it belongs to Xiao Li.

Later, it was his.

In addition, there is a large martial arts training ground with several stone locks piled up in the corners. As for daily weapons, they are placed in a warehouse not far away. In addition, there are stables and special servants' rooms.

These buildings together constitute this courtyard.

Of course, there are gardens and waterside pavilions.

This was his mother's favorite place when she was alive.

Unfortunately, with the death of his mother, this place gradually became deserted. Although it was not filled in, it was no longer as meticulously maintained as before.

Thinking like this.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but stop.

After staring at the somewhat desolate scenery for two or three minutes, he shook his head, gathered his thoughts, and continued walking towards his house.

At this point, there is no need to worry about being discovered.

Because even if you are discovered, there are many excuses.

I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk.

It's summer anyway.

People are restless.

Reasonable.

In short, as long as nothing goes wrong, nothing else matters.

Push the door open.

Took off shoes.

Turn on the lights.

It is worth mentioning that although the extraordinary power of Dou Qi has suppressed the development of technological weapons to a certain extent, in life, technology can still be compatible with Dou Qi. For example, there is no electricity in electric lights, but there can be independent table lamps. The specific production principle is to stuff a stone into the glass cover, commonly known as light stone. The characteristic of this stone is that it will glow after coming into contact with Dou Qi. After special treatment, it can be used as a Dou Qi mainland version of electric lights. The brightness of the light is inseparable from this treatment. For example, a fist-sized light stone can emit light that illuminates a radius of 100 meters, but a fingernail-sized light stone can only emit light that illuminates a radius of 5 meters. This is the value of the treatment, because some people need big ones and some people need small ones. Personal needs are different and cannot be generalized. In addition, considering the usage time, most standard chandeliers have facilities that can store a certain amount of Dou Qi, as well as mechanisms that can control the output frequency of Dou Qi. Taking the Dou Qi stage as an example, a section of Dou Qi can keep the chandelier lit for about an hour. Here we are referring to the kind of chandelier that can illuminate a radius of 100 meters. The smaller the range, the less consumption.

Of course.

If you find it troublesome.

I don't like this kind of high technology either.

You can also carry a light stone with you, take it out when you need it, inject your fighting spirit into it, and you can also obtain similar light.

It's just that the light is more dazzling.

Because the barrier of the glass cover is gone.

So, in the beginning, Xiao Yan was indeed surprised by this kind of thing, because in his opinion, technology and supernatural are two different systems, but after he understood the principle, it was no longer surprising.

It doesn't make sense that you guys use electric lights while we can only use kerosene lamps.

Or light a candle.

Besides, isn’t it just discharging electricity?

Find a fighter with thunder attribute fighting spirit.

Or a fighting master.

There is also a big fighting master.

In an instant, energy will be rubbed out for your hands.

Not to mention wires and stuff.

These things exist only to benefit ordinary people.

And in the extraordinary world, ordinary people are the most worthless creatures.

No one bothers about their convenience.

At least the strong ones won’t.

So, Xiao Yan walked to the table with familiarity.

I want to pick up the cup and drink some water.

However, his attention was suddenly attracted by another object on the table.

"Clang!"

The water cup fell and hit the floor tiles.

It cracked immediately.

The water in the cup also spilled all over the floor.

While giving Xiao Yan a fright.

It also allowed Xiao Yan to break free from his brain freeze reaction.

Despite this, Xiao Yan still rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Then, he slapped himself in the face.

It seemed like he was trying to wake himself up.

It also seems that he suspects that everything in front of him is an illusion.

Unfortunately, even if he slapped himself, the reality would not change.

This thing is lying on the table.

Placed in front of him.

He couldn't even question it.

Of course, perhaps it should be said that there were three things, but they were stacked together and looked like a heap. Xiao Yan noticed this when he closed the door and had no time to clean up the broken pieces of the water cup on the ground. He hurriedly sat down at the table with rapid breathing and nervously picked up the heap of things, and then separated them.

"The camera... is tiny."

"projector."

"And... a letter."

Xiao Yan's pupils contracted.

My hands were shaking uncontrollably.

He was not sure whether there were electric lights in Douqi Continent.

What if some weirdo used lightning-attributed fighting spirit to develop an electric light? Although the probability of such a thing happening is very small, it is not impossible.

But, are lights and cameras the same thing in terms of technical content?

Except that the letter seems to fit more or less into the current reality.

There are two other things on the table.

That is, the camera and the projector.

Which one fits the current reality?

"Could it be...I have come to the Truman World?"

"But that's not right, is it?"

"If technology is really so advanced that people can fly, and even a small shrimp like me can break stones, then there is no point in putting on a show. Everyone is too busy concentrating on cultivation, so how can they have the leisure to watch movies... Not to mention that Dou Wang Dou Huang can live for hundreds of years. If this condition really existed, those rich people would have gone crazy a long time ago. I'm afraid humans would have colonized outer space long ago, right?"

"What's the point of teasing me?"

"Besides, my age doesn't match. It's impossible that I was taken away by some evil organization after my death, and my memories were extracted and injected into a new brain, just like that...brain in a vat hypothesis. But then again, even if that's the case, it doesn't make sense. At least in a normal experiment, the experimenter would not throw in something that would easily arouse suspicion from me, the experimental subject. It would not be conducive to the experiment..."

"Tsk..."

“It’s really annoying!”

Xiao Yan held his head with both hands, his fingertips entangled in his hair.

He grabbed it twice randomly.

To say that he was such a loser before he traveled through time, that's not the case.

But it’s not entirely true to say that he was very smart before he traveled through time.

He is just an ordinary person.

The ordinary kind.

The kind you see everywhere.

This kind of thing, relying on clues, inferring and guessing, was really not his forte. Even if he racked his brains to the point of bursting and smoking, he still couldn't figure out the problem.

So, I had no choice.

Xiao Yan had no choice but to put down the camera and the projector, and opened the letter that was pressed under the projector, intending to see what it said, hoping to get some information from it.

then……

Opening lightning strike!

"Your Excellency Xiao·Traveler·Yan, personally."

"Seeing the words is like seeing the face."

"I know you have a lot of confusion."

"But please don't overthink it."

"Although, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"In short, this is a warning."

"I am an unknown person who can barely be considered as your predecessor. I have several experiences of time travel and can barely be called a space traveler. I am giving you some reminders in the hope that you will not be deceived."

"Please remember this."

"What you see with your own eyes is not real."

"Just like that Naruto anime you should have watched."

"Whether it's Kotoamatsukami, Tsukuyomi, or any other illusion, whether you're affected or not is determined by your mental resistance... If you're confused by my rash mention of this, why not turn on that projector and take a look at reality!"

"That's all I have to say, so you can do what you want."

"No · Crosser · Star Traveler · Name, stay."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

A short letter.

Xiao Yan flipped through the pages and read for a full half an hour.

Even if the brain receives this information.

It will take some time before it is completely digested.

However, confidentiality is still necessary.

Xiao Yan didn't think this was a prank.

Because the other party can not only accurately point out his identity as a time traveler, but also quote from classics, and various settings can be done almost at will.

Of course.

Even if it was just a prank.

This letter cannot be kept either.

So, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a prank or not.

This letter will eventually be destroyed.

He even celebrated it.

Fortunately, the person who discovered him was a fellow traveler.

Otherwise, if he was discovered by others, what might be waiting for him was an inhumane study, because aliens have only had two choices since ancient times, one is death, and the other is to become dust.

I don't ask you to be a normal person.

At least pretend to be normal.

Therefore, Xiao Yan took out his fire starter, lit the letter while silently digesting this fact. Only when the letter turned into ashes did Xiao Yan let out a long breath, crushed the miniature camera with force, picked up the projector, walked into the inner room, closed the doors and windows, and before dawn, he studied it for a while and pressed the switch to start playing.

……

……

……

"The truth is right in front of you."

"If you don't regret it after watching it, then I congratulate you."

"If you regret it after reading this, find your own way out."

"Anyway, I didn't keep it a secret."

"I don't feel guilty about the relationship between you and me, and the free meals I've been eating and drinking at the Xiao family for the past few years... I can live with it on my conscience."

"As for your path?"

"In the end, it's up to you to decide."

"My stupid fellow time traveler... I hope you can understand."

"At least stop being so naive."

"Otherwise, in this world."

"You will really die!"

Lin Chaoci stretched, returned to the bedroom, and pulled the quilt to cover his stomach. There was no other way. This was his last stubbornness when sleeping in the summer.

Close your eyes and rest your mind.

My thoughts are turning over and over again.

Finally, it fell into silence.

Fall asleep to the occasional chirping of cicadas.

……

……

……

At the same time.

In Xiao Yan's residence, which was separated by several walls.

inside the house.

It was filled with suffocating silence.

Silent light and shadow flickered in the dark room, illuminating Xiao Yan's iron-blue face from time to time, because this light and shadow played from a completely objective angle Xiao Yan who was sitting on the bed and infusing Dou Qi into the pillow, as well as Xiao Xun'er who was sitting on the chair and looked quite weak, and the mysterious Dou Huang who only appeared at the beginning and the end. There were also silent subtitles below the video.

"grass!"

a long time.

Until the light of day brightened up and shone into the room through the paper window.

Affects the visibility of light and shadow.

Xiao Yan came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

He cursed with gritted teeth, but suddenly remembered something and pressed the off button of the projector, withdrawing the light and shadow.

Sitting in the house.

His face was cloudy and uncertain.

No longer livid, but looking scarier.

a long time.

He sighed quietly.

Half powerless, half bitter.

He sighed without a beginning or an end: "Strength... I'm still too weak..."

If you are someone who doesn't understand the cause and effect.

It is definitely unclear why Xiao Yan said that.

The six-year-old has reached the sixth level of fighting spirit.

Why rush?

Anyway, the future is still very long.

He is still young.

There is plenty of time.

There is also hope.

But those who understand the whole story will definitely know why Xiao Yan expressed such emotion, and will also be able to guess the hidden meaning of Xiao Yan's emotion.

"If the letter is fake."

"If these records are false."

"It means I've been targeted."

"Also, my secret that I am a time traveler has also been discovered."

"But if the letter is real."

"If these records are true."

"But I...I...I don't have the qualifications to fall out with Xiao Xun'er!"

"A Douhuang-level guard... this is enough to destroy Wutan City. It's a piece of cake to destroy my Xiao family. If I reveal her true identity, the Xiao family may end up being massacred. I can't gamble, at least not with thousands of lives!"

"I can only pretend."

"Pretend you know nothing."

"Just like those double agents in spy dramas."

"It can be said that... every minute and every second is like walking on the edge of a knife!"

Xiao Yan rubbed his face, trying to make himself more energetic, but the anxiety that his life and death were not in his own hands still made it difficult for him to calm down, even though he had thought it through very comprehensively: "Moreover, I must consider another problem: the news that my father told me before was 100% wrong, and my father had no need to hide it from me, so this can only mean that my father was also deceived... The eldest lady who has a Douhuang guard, how prominent her family is, I can't estimate at present, anyway, it must be more powerful than the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire... People like this need to hide their identities and sneak into my Xiao family. Their plot must be very big. Whether my Xiao family has what they are plotting or not, it is already at the cusp of this storm, and there is definitely no way to avoid it... What should I do to avoid this kind of death? At least I have to bring most of the Xiao family alive and not be slapped to death by this Douhuang... Even the Douhuang is just a guard. The family behind Xiao Xun'er must have a stronger person. Even if I become a Douhuang, I will only breathe a sigh of relief. If I don't become stronger, I will die anyway!"

Thinking like this.

Xiao Yan suddenly remembered the stick attack from more than a month ago.

His eyes lit up.

But he quickly shook his head.

The spark was rekindled, but he just endured it secretly: "No, it's too risky to go find him now. If I arouse Xiao Xun'er's suspicion, then there will be no fun at all... I must find him. His talent is higher than that of a time traveler like me. If I can become a Dou Huang in the future, he will definitely become a strong man above the Dou Huang. Whether the crisis can be resolved depends on him and me. At least, in the current Xiao family, there is no one of the same age who can show talent comparable to mine, and the upper limit in the future is likely to be lower than mine, let alone compare with him... I can only endure the humiliation now. At worst, I can learn from Gou Jian. I must wait until Xiao Xun'er relaxes her vigilance and waits for a suitable opportunity to find him... I can't tell my father about this. My father is not good at acting. If he is exposed, the Xiao family will be doomed..."
