Time Travel Adventure

Chapter 291 Caught in the act

A familiar feeling of emptiness. I touched my head, feeling amazed at my cleverness just now, but my daughter was just hanging in front of me.

I went up reflexively, and the result was that I was severely beaten by this sister when I went out. "No, you came out to scare me, why should I treat you to a meal."

He still said unconvincedly that he had only just recovered from the fright he had suffered, and his wallet had been attacked again.

"Who told you to hit me!" Nannan pointed to her face which had no marks on it and cried about her grievances.

"But can you finish eating before buying more? I can't hold any more space in my hands." I had two bags full of spoils in my hands. Since I was shopping with my daughter, I didn't even dare to bring her along, for fear that people would see me talking to myself like I was crazy.

I am in the same situation now. Oh no, I get annoyed when I think about it. "I want to eat that and that." This little bastard has started again. His butt seems to have nails on it, moving up and down.

"Okay, okay, buy, buy, buy." I walked forward resignedly and acted as a repeater and ATM machine. After paying the money, I was thinking about how to trick my daughter into going back home. Then, as luck would have it, I saw the woman in the yard that day.

"Let's go." When I saw that person, I stopped moving and just stood there, looking at the fans on the stall carefully, as if I was choosing them very seriously. No matter how Nannan called me or pushed me, I pretended not to feel or hear anything.

When the person passed by me, he took out money from his pocket, bought the fan, and fanned himself. He looked at me strangely and said that he was wearing a hat and fanning himself.

This girl is really weird. She seems to be afraid that others don't know her whereabouts. She keeps looking back to the left and right, looking like a guilty thief.

I followed her calmly. It seemed that this girl was approaching me. Her steps became much faster and I almost lost her. Fortunately, I found her at a corner.

Seeing that there were no people around, he closed his eyes. When he saw the woman again, he was already in a yard. There was a huge stove in the yard with many bottles and jars piled next to it.

"Is anyone there? Where is they?" The woman started calling as she entered the yard. It seemed that this was not her first time here. After a while, a lazy voice came from the inner room.

"Who is it? Stop shouting, stop shouting, you are trying to kill me." After a while, a man yawned and came out of the room. Wasn't this the carpenter that the proprietress had found?

"What are you doing? Why are you looking for me now?" After the craftsman saw who was coming, dissatisfaction appeared on his face and his brows were furrowed.

"Do you think I am happy to come to your clay jar? Take it." The woman took out a small purse from her sleeve. It looked bulging, so it should be filled with money.

He threw it directly to the craftsman. When the craftsman saw that it was money, he quickly took it and opened it to confirm the amount. "Yeah, it's more than we agreed. What does this mean?"

No one can resist money, but the boss lady's money is not so easy to take. The craftsman looked at the woman with caution.

"Do you have any more of what you had last time? Give me some more." The woman didn't bother to talk to the craftsman Mo Ji, but went straight to the point and asked for the things.

"You mean the oil? Yes, but why do you need so much of it?" The craftsman nodded, said "wait", and went back to the house to get something. When he came out, he had a small bottle in his hand and handed it to the woman.

The woman took the things and turned away. She didn't want to stay here any longer. After the craftsman saw her leave, she went back to the house to catch up on her sleep, but he still followed the woman.

After the woman finished her work, she walked less timidly and walked happily towards her home. However, she still felt a little panicked when she heard a familiar dog barking.

I found the place where I had turned over last time and squatted next to the tree again, so that I could see the whole yard clearly.

The woman just put the bottle on the table in the yard, then went into the house and started busying herself with cooking. He just watched the woman wash vegetables and light the fire, and the bottle just sat there in the yard.

I was feeling a little restless, but the dog was lying near the table, and I felt like it would wake up if I got close.

"Nannan, why don't you go?" I heard Nannan say that the strange thing in the bottle might be the reason why the wood produced a lot of smoke.

Nannan, like me, mistakenly saw the dog in the yard. I heard Nannan swallow her saliva and asked me if I was serious.

"Of course I am targeted by your smell, but you are different. I might think you are a mouse, so it's okay, right?" I calculated the distance. If I go by myself, what if I get scared and lose my invisibility?

After I expressed my opinion, Nannan still refused to go. She kept moving restlessly on my shoulder and seemed to want to run away.

"How about this, you don't have to bring it over. Just go and take a look and make sure it's a god or something inside. Is that okay?" I lowered the difficulty and discussed with Nannan.

Nannan thought for a long time and said "OK" to me softly. Then I felt Nannan getting off me. I couldn't see Nannan's route and could only stare at the dog.

Its nose is very sensitive. Nannan had eaten so many smelly things just now, so it must have had a reaction. After a long while, I saw the dog raise its head.

His nose was twitching and his eyes were wandering around the table. It seemed that Nannan had arrived. Then he saw that the cork on the bottle was gone, and it was put back on after a while.

I was cheering for Nannan in my heart, and when I felt something on my arm, I asked softly, "Is it Nannan?"

"Who else but me!" Nannan's angry voice seemed to come out of her nostrils. I probably had to reach out and touch Nannan's little head to express my appreciation.

"What's inside?" I am more concerned about the main point, what is inside the bottle.

"It seems to be just ordinary pine oil." Nannan thought for a while and answered me, "Pine oil?"

I didn't quite understand. Nannan climbed onto my head and told me not to say anything. Someone came back and soon I heard the sound of a door being pushed open.

What followed was the woman's friendly inquiry, "You're back, come on, the meal will be ready soon."

The man washed his hands and face at a basin, then sat down at the table. He looked at the bottle on the table, reached out to take it, and sniffed it under his nose.

"Tell me, what is your boss thinking? It's not poisonous, so why bother?" He put the bottle back to its place, looking puzzled.

The woman went back and forth from the kitchen several times and put three dishes and a soup on the table. "Who knows? Just give her the money and do as she says. Once the balance is paid, we can think about our own affairs.

The woman filled the man's glass at the right time and sat next to him. The man was obviously very fond of her and drank the wine in one gulp and put his arms around the woman's waist.

The two of them started to flirt with each other again. Unable to bear it any longer, Nana covered her daughter's eyes, climbed over the wall, and prepared to go home.

"What? You don't want to continue watching?" Nannan said as if she wanted to continue watching, but her tone was full of disappointment when she was pulled away.

"Be careful of getting stye. What's so good about it?" I shook the candied haws in my hand. This guy didn't have the heart to think about it anymore. He just held the candied haws and started to eat it.

When I got home, I consciously waited near the gate for a long time. I knew that the man had gone back to change shifts and eat, and he should be back soon.

After making sure that he had returned, he went back to his yard, closed the doors and windows tightly, and climbed onto the roof. He was afraid of being seen, so he rolled the quilt on the bed into a human shape.

I had fallen asleep on the roof when I heard some rustling sounds. The man was wandering in front of the yard gate for a long time, looking around to see if there was anyone in the yard.

After making sure that there was nothing, he walked in with confidence. With a simple purpose, he rushed to the pile of wood, took out a small bottle from his arms, and started to scatter it on the wood.

For fear of uneven spreading, they would turn the wood inside over and spread it. When nothing could be poured out of the bottle, they would rearrange all the wood in its original shape.

Then he quickly disappeared in the yard. He waited for a long time to make sure that no one was coming before he came down from the roof.

After coming down, I touched the wood and it felt oily. I put it under my nose and smelled it, but there was no special smell.

When I sat down to drink tea and discuss with my daughter what this man was going to do, Hongdou rushed in happily. When she saw me, she quickly handed me the hairpin in her hand.

I took it and examined it carefully. The wings and flowers were so lifelike, and the details of the font and logo were perfect. I was dazzled by it and asked Hongdou how she did it.

"Miss, you are smart. I was inspired that day and found three craftsmen to study this. The wings, flowers, and words were made by three masters. The three craftsmen all wanted to show their perfection, and this perfect thing appeared."

I couldn't help but click my tongue, seeing how excited Hongdou was, "Hurry up, keep the master here, seal his mouth, and take good care of him."

Hongdou thought so too and rushed out of the yard in a hurry. Looking at this guy in a hurry, she felt like she was injected with chicken blood.

"Nannan, how is your research going?" He quickly called Nannan out and asked about the progress of the style. Hongdou's craftsmen had already been found, and he could not delay any longer.

"Okay, here you go." Nannan confidently took out a small bottle from somewhere, just one?

I looked at it in confusion. Normally, there should be about five of them, and then I should mix them myself.

"You look down on me, don't you? This and this match." Nannan took out a wooden box that looked like a paint box and was slightly bigger than her own.

I went forward and opened it, and there was paint inside, but it was in powder form. Nannan asked me to take out a wooden stick, and she dipped a little bit from the paint box and painted it on the wood.

Then he opened the small bottle and poured a drop of liquid out of it. After a while, the liquid and the paint merged together and slowly swallowed up the wood, turning the wood into the color of the paint.

I watched what was happening in front of me in disbelief. Nannan saw that it was almost done and asked me to saw the wood in half. In such a short time, even the inside was the same color.

"Let's burn it and see." He took out a tinder and lit it. A lot of smoke came out, but the smoke turned into the same color as the wood after it was dyed.

The smoke was not so pungent and there was a faint floral scent. I looked at the wood in my hand with curiosity, blew out the flame, put the wood under my nose and smelled it. It also had a faint fragrance.

"I have to thank the person who placed the gift here, otherwise I would never have thought of such a perfect thing." Nannan spoke proudly of her spoils.

At this time, you must praise, "You are amazing, you can do this, I know you can handle this perfectly......"

After I praised my daughter to the sky, I had already dyed all the wood and divided it into twelve piles. The colors were determined according to the colors of the flowers. Fortunately, my sense of color is still perfect.

Seeing that things were finished, he packed them up and had someone put them in the cabinet. When Hongdou came back, he opened it and showed it to her. Hongdou looked at the twelve perfect wooden strips of color and stroked them, not wanting to put them down.

I also sent Hongdou to deliver the things to the three masters. As soon as they delivered them, someone brought news that the proprietress had already started distributing porcelain hairpins.

The promotion was that it was free and could be given as a gift as long as you bought something in their store. This attracted a lot of people to watch. Everyone was attracted by the unique styles and the beautiful looks, and they all loved them.

They were sold out instantly. This news also pushed the fame of the proprietress's shop to the peak. Hongdou's shop had surprisingly few customers. Hongdou found out after she sent the wooden strips back.

Or rather, I heard people talking about it on the way back. They looked happy when they left, but had no expression on their faces when they came back.

"Don't be anxious, the best is yet to come." I comforted Hongdou and told her not to worry. During this period of time, we have been trying to find out the situation and determine the direction of things.

There weren't many deviations from what I expected, and everything was proceeding according to the original track. I was afraid that Hongdou would be anxious about this, so I asked her to go and see how the master was doing.

I have also been keeping an eye on the movements of the women and men in the yard. The store has been very busy recently, and the proprietress doesn't seem to have given them the final payment.

Every day I see the woman coming home panting from exhaustion. She is so tired that she goes to sleep directly without even cooking. It is the man who brings back the prepared food from outside.

The proprietress's business was still in full swing and had been good for half a month. But as everything goes well, there will always be a downside. With such a booming business, negative news soon emerged. At first, it was just said that porcelain hairpins were easy to break.
