Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 828 The Quirky and Clever Zhao Xuan'er

"Sir, there are three rooms for the three of you. Here are the keys. The ship will depart in half a month. Please rest first!"

The servant took the large bag of gold handed over by the old man, and then looked at the three of them with a joyful expression.

"Hehe, thank you for your trouble, sir. You can go ahead and get busy!"

After saying that, the old man led the little girl into the house and then closed the door.

However, the man was sitting in the room opposite them, with the door open and showing no intention of closing it.

After working inside for about half an hour, Chu Chen arrived at his room on the large ship feeling refreshed. He then pushed open the door and went up to the deck.

On the dock, a group of people were transporting all sorts of goods and loading them onto the ship.

Just then, a quirky girl came up to the deck and walked straight to Chu Chen's side.

He turned to the porters and said, "Grandpa, they work so hard!"

"Hehe, humans have different roles, and everyone who works has a hard time!"

After hearing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but turn his head and look at it, thinking to himself that there weren't many people in this world who could say such a thing.

Those standing at the bow of the ship, looking down at the people below, mostly felt only disdain and a sense of superiority.

How can these VIP guests who can stay on this floor possibly empathize with the people below?

However, when she turned to look at the person who spoke, she saw an old man with a little girl. The little girl was very clever and mischievous. Her two pigtails sticking up and her chubby face did not look like they were done by her mother or anyone else.

"Hey, big brother, why are you covering your mouth and nose!"

The girl looked at Chu Chen, who had turned his head away, and asked.

"Hehe, my brother caught a cold and is wearing a mask to avoid infecting others!"

Looking at the cute girl, Chu Chen's goodwill towards her increased, so he replied to her!

"Oh, don't you need to take medicine for a cold? This is called a mask?"

"Why isn't it called a nose mask!"

Hmm? This word just doesn't sound right at all, especially coming from a young girl.

"Um... well, it covers the mouth, so it's called a mask."

"But it's blocking his nose too!"

Hearing this, Chu Chen was speechless, thinking to himself that the little girl really had a big mouth.

"Xuan'er, you're talking too much!"

Upon seeing this, the old man immediately stopped the girl and apologized to Chu Chen, saying, "Young master, this is my granddaughter Xuan'er. I apologize to you!"

"Sir, it's a good thing that the child is curious!"

"Haha, it's rare that you don't mind my name, young master. I am Zhao Dezhu. May I ask your name?"

"Chen Qingxuan!"

Chu Chen looked at the grandfather and grandson who seemed quite familiar with each other, and couldn't very well refuse, so he answered.

Judging from their auras, they were both ordinary people. To be able to sit in such a prestigious seat as ordinary people, they must be either rich or noble!

"Is Young Master Chen also heading to the Xuan Tian Continent?"

“That’s right, isn’t Old Man Zhao the same?” Chu Chen retorted.

The old man smiled after hearing this and said to a table and chairs on the deck, "Young master, why don't you sit down? I think you and I are the only ordinary people on these three decks."

The large ship has three decks. The first deck is for second-class seats and passengers without seats, as well as for loading cargo.

The second floor has first-class seating and a place for people to eat and buy food.

The entire third floor was divided into many rooms, which were the so-called superior seats.

On the three decks, in addition to tables and chairs for people to sit and chat, there are also all kinds of snacks for sale.

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself that it was true. He was hiding his strength, but this old man was just an ordinary person. He didn't understand whether he was hiding his strength or not!

Since I have nothing else to do, I might as well talk to people more and learn more about this Xuan Tian Continent.

So he gestured to Zhao Dezhu to invite him to sit down.

He casually called over a waiter: "Bring us some tea and snacks!"

"Alright, young master, please wait a moment!"

A short while later, the waiter brought a pot of tea and some snacks and placed them in front of Chu Chen and the other two.

The little girl grabbed a snack and stuffed it into her mouth, completely ignoring the fact that Chu Chen and Zhao Dezhu were watching her, as if she hadn't eaten for days.

"Does Uncle Zhao frequently travel to the Xuan Tian Continent?"

Chu Chen picked up a cup of tea and gestured to Zhao Dezhu to invite him.

"That's right, we have some business dealings that require frequent travel, so this boat has become a regular passenger!"

Just as the old man was answering, the little girl looked at Chu Chen again: "Brother, how can you drink tea while wearing a nose mask?"

After listening, Chu Chen immediately realized that he was still wearing a mask.

So he reached into his pocket and pulled out a straw.

"Haha, Xuan'er, that's a good question. Watch!" After saying that, he inserted the straw into the blanket, then poked a hole in the mask with the other end and started sucking.

"This is so much fun, Grandpa! Why didn't we think of drinking tea this way!"

"Hehe, Young Master Chen is quite clever. This old man isn't afraid of the cold, so you can take off your... mask without any problem!"

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Take it off, take it off so no one can see what I look like!"

So he quickly shook his head and said, "Hehe, I'm not feeling well, so I won't trouble everyone!"

After a while, the two sides became familiar with each other.

Zhao Dezhu, who had been a refined old man, became rude: "Young Master Chen, this tea is tasteless. How about we have some?"

Throughout the long conversation, Chu Chen noticed nothing about the other party trying to trick him or showing any malice, so he immediately relaxed.

The most comfortable one was Zhao Xuan'er, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, but spoke like a ten-year-old child, full of curiosity about everything.

She kept asking questions while rubbing against Chu Chen.

Zhao Dezhu seemed not to notice this at all, which made Chu Chen's heart overflow with love!

So he turned around and walked towards his house. When he came out again, he had a wine pot, two cups, and a salt-baked chicken in his hands!

After drinking three cups of 53-proof liquor, Zhao Dezhu began to feel somewhat drunk.

“Brother Chen, I often travel back and forth on this boat and I know the captain very well. You can come to me for anything on this boat.”

"Then I'll trouble you..."

"Don't say anything, listen to me. Don't underestimate this old man just because he's old. When they bring their men tonight, we absolutely cannot take the first batch. The good stuff will be at the bottom!"

"Grandpa, you're drunk!"

"What do you know, little girl? Grandpa isn't drunk. Grandpa is just happy today."

After saying that, he turned to look at Chu Chen: "Brother Chen, although you are much younger than me, I hereby acknowledge you as my brother today, Heaven above..."
