Chapter 10

"Handsome Brother Wen, why hasn't my master come out yet? It's been five days." Liu Ze sat in the pavilion of the rockery, lying on the table bored, rolling a grape back and forth in his hand.

"The master said that if you are bored, there are many books in the study that can help you relieve your boredom." Butler Wen is very responsible and will definitely help you find a solution to any problem.

"It's impossible to read. It's absolutely impossible to read. I wouldn't read even if I were beaten to death." Liu Ze shook his head like a wave drum. He didn't have to do a graduation project, so why would he torture himself with books? He had also been to his master's study. There were bamboo slips, silk scrolls, and various ancient novels. Who would read them nowadays?

In 5 days, he looked around the yard thoroughly. He stepped on the seesaw, swung on the swing, and even sat on the rocking car that the master bought for him. But he was still bored. Was he going to play house with the dolls in the house?

He sighed and stood up, looking at the tall peach tree next to him. How about climbing the tree and seeing how high he could get?

"Hmm?" Just as he was thinking about how to pass the time, he happened to see a black figure in the grass outside the yard. This guy hadn't left yet. He was really good at hiding. If this pavilion wasn't high enough, the man in black wouldn't be visible.

His eyes rolled around, and he thought of something fun. He threw the grapes in his hand into his mouth, picked up three walnuts, and tossed them up and down. They felt good.

Whoosh! He took aim and threw it hard at the man in black's head.

The hunter who was hiding in the bushes and waiting for his prey instinctively turned his head to avoid the sound the moment he heard it. He was discovered!

The man in black moved quickly, moving from his hiding place to another position, his movements and speed were as quiet as a gust of wind.

"Wow! This guy is amazing, his reaction speed is really fast." Liu Ze, who was sitting on the rockery, saw the following series of actions clearly.

He looked around at the distance to where the man was hiding and weighed the walnut in his hand. He was sure he would hit him this time.

When a person is locked in another person's gaze, he can feel that person's gaze, especially trained secret guards like them. They are very sensitive to gazes, whether intentional or unintentional.

This time was different. He was sure he was being targeted, but he couldn't feel his line of sight. He couldn't tell which direction the person who had used the hidden weapon on him was heading.

whoosh!

While he was concentrating, another hidden weapon came flying towards him. After confirming the direction of the sound, he reached out and caught the hidden weapon.

He was stunned for a moment after catching the hidden weapon. It seemed that this person's hidden weapon skills were not good and he didn't even use his internal strength. He looked towards the place where the hidden weapon appeared, but the person's hiding skills were very powerful. He didn't notice that there was an extra person here in the past few days.

Something wasn't right. According to his feeling, the point where the hidden weapon was launched was at a certain height, but there wasn't even a tree in that direction, and there was no hiding place at all.

He looked down at the hidden weapon in his hand...? 'Walnut?'

Liu Ze stood up suddenly, with the bean stick only reaching his waist, and stamped his feet in anger: "He actually caught it."

"Does he look down on me? He definitely looks down on me. He actually dared to catch the things I threw at him." He climbed up to the railing of the pavilion and stretched his head to look outside: "He actually crushed the walnuts and ate them?!"

"I'm so angry!" He said as he took a large basket of fruit from the table and slid it over. He quickly took out some fruit from the basket and threw it at him. He didn't believe that he could catch it like this: "I asked you to catch it, I asked you to catch it, try it again."

The man in black outside couldn't hear anything, but he verified Liu Ze's words and decided to give it a try. He caught every fruit thrown at him and put them on the ground steadily. Judging from his movements, he was definitely faster than Liu Ze's hand speed.

Liu Ze threw a large watermelon out of breath, and after the man caught it, he reached into the fruit basket and emptied it. He looked down and saw that only the basket was left.

"Master Liu, do you need some meat buns?" Wen Ci Qiu asked sincerely. "I can get you some. We have plenty."

"......" Liu Ze felt that the housekeeper was hinting at him. After a short temper, he put the empty basket back on the table and said, "Well... the fruit is delicious. I'm going to read a book for a while."

He walked past Butler Wen, went down the rockery, and ran into the study.

"Did I eat too many stupid movies just now?" Douding's face flushed red as he hid himself in the hanging curtain, not wanting to recall his stupid self for even a second.

The housekeeper watched the man run into the house, put his hand on the empty basket, and in a second the basket was full of fruit again. After thinking for a while, he put a plate of meat buns next to it.

————————————

Liu Zhe was really patient and spent the whole afternoon in his study reading a book, a novel actually. After dinner, he didn't want to stand in the room and feel bored.

After wandering around in the yard, I came to the rockery and entered the pavilion. On the table in the pavilion, I saw a basket of fresh fruits and a plate of steaming meat buns.

Her face flushed. What was Housekeeper Wen thinking about? She recalled the silly incident at noon.

I unconsciously looked to see where the person was outside, but I couldn't find him, and the fruit that should have been on the ground was gone too.

"Is Young Master Liu looking for that person? He is under the tree in the distance." Wen Ci Qiu is a qualified butler. He can solve all the doubts. Even if they are not asked, he can think of them in advance.

"I didn't..." Liu Ze's denial came out of his mouth easily, but then he realized he was being too cautious and stopped talking immediately. After a moment of hesitation, he admitted, "Where's my fruit? Did that guy eat it?"

"That should be the case. He's already eaten the only rabbit nest in this canyon. He's been nibbling on wild vegetables for two days. It's normal to see them eating, so he'll finish them."

"Why is he still squatting in the valley?" Liu Ze remembered that the two people before him had already climbed out of the rope. "Who on earth is this person? Why is he trying so hard to catch me?"

The more persistent the other party was, the more headaches Liu Ze had. If he hadn't met his master this time, he would have been caught. Luck was still on his side.

"Ignore him. He will definitely leave when he is about to starve to death." The idea of ​​killing has not yet entered Liu Ze's mind. In the past two or three years, the best strategy when encountering danger is to run away. The lightness skills he carries on his body are very useful. He is fast and tall and no one can catch up with him.

"If it was before noon, the gentleman might have left before starving to death, but now that's probably impossible."

"Hmm?" Liu Ze looked at the butler in confusion. Why did he say that?

"Master Liu, don't you feel that you have grown a little taller in the past five days?"

"A little bit. I look much better." Liu Ze didn't really pay attention to his height. The person in the mirror looked much whiter and tenderer.

"The food here is all made of energy, which can provide the energy needed by the body. It is very pure."

Liu Ze had a bad feeling: "But... then what?"

"The fruits that Master Liu threw out won't rot naturally. Eating one will keep you going for a long time."

Liu Ze was stunned, and cursed himself in his heart, "I'm an idiot."
