Chapter 5. Chapter 5 follows the process of working with Qin Ren...
Yes, after conducting experiments with Qin Ren, Liu Qingyue finally understood the special nature of the key.
He was able to get to Qin Ren's house not because he was lucky enough to discover a passage, but because a key opened the passage to Qin Ren's house.
He had been watching Qin Ren intently as he tried the other doors with the key.
Here, the key can only open that bronze door.
But on his side, as long as he touches the key, no matter which door he opens, he can come here to avoid danger.
This is a good thing for him, and it's his only means of survival right now. He's not going to be foolish enough to give away the key.
Qin Ren: "I can get you a crossbow or make you a gun. As long as you have them, you can survive, even without a passage."
Liu Qingyue: "I don't want it, I don't want it! This is my key, you can't be so unreasonable. I'm separated from my family now, I can't live without it."
Seeing that Qin Ren was still staring intently at him, Liu Qingyue couldn't help but feel scared. He gripped the key tightly and curled himself into a ball, then simply started sobbing with red eyes.
Qin Ren got a headache whenever he saw him cry. How could a boy have so many tears?
This little thief is such a crybaby; he's cried several times in less than half a day since we met.
Qin Ren sighed. Oh well, now that they know it, only the two of them can pass through this passage. Actually, Qin Ren's family isn't in any particular danger.
With that in mind, Qin Ren temporarily abandoned his intention to continue pressuring him.
This thing doesn't actually belong to him. If he feels it's unsafe to keep it at home, he can move the bronze door to another place.
Besides... this little thief is so weak, he really doesn't seem like someone who can survive in this chaotic world on his own. It's fate that they met, so why should he bully a child?
Qin Ren: "Alright, I don't need your key anymore. Get up, and let's have a good chat about what dynasty your region is from?"
I wonder which dynasty that is?
If it's a dynasty he knows, wouldn't their back-and-forth travel cause a butterfly effect?
The little thief was crying so hard that he was unwilling to answer Qin Ren's question.
Qin Ren had no choice but to take him out of the basement first. Considering that the weather was still quite cold and the little thief was crying and struggling, he was probably exhausted by now.
He led the person to his bedroom and then turned on the air conditioner.
Liu Qingyue was crying the whole time and didn't notice the air conditioner.
He cried for a while, then felt the warmth around him and looked up blankly.
"It's so warm."
He muttered to himself, and then he realized that this room was even stranger than the previous ones.
It also has very bright lights, appearing even brighter than the moon.
Besides the lights, there was a large bed in the room, and Qin Ren was lying on it after taking off his coat.
Looking at Qin Ren's appearance, Liu Qingyue couldn't help but feel a surge of nervousness.
They were a man and a girl, alone in a room, a bedroom, what innocence could he possibly have?
Just as Liu Qingyue was thinking this, Qin Ren suddenly spoke up.
"By the way, when do you plan to leave?"
This is Qin Ren's home after all, and he really doesn't feel comfortable having strangers in his house.
By this time, Liu Qingyue was already exhausted, especially in such a warm environment, and his eyelids began to droop uncontrollably.
"Could I stay at your house for the night? It's late now, and I've gotten separated from the servants. I'm a little scared being alone."
Qin Ren nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, then you can stay here for the night."
Seemingly noticing that the thief was somewhat afraid of him, Qin Ren picked up his coat from the bed again and walked outside while talking to him.
"You don't need to be afraid of me. You're a man, and so am I. I'm not a pervert, and I won't do anything to you."
Are you a man? Am I a man too?
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue looked completely bewildered. Could it be that... this alien race didn't know he was a boy?
He subconsciously touched his forehead. The cinnabar mark on his forehead was so obvious, how could the other person not know that he was a boy?
I pictured the man with short hair, a rough appearance, and a strange dialect.
Liu Qingyue's eyes suddenly lit up. This guy had no idea that Ge'er existed. He was treating him like a man like himself.
Does this mean that even if his body was accidentally seen before, he can still pretend that he is a man?
As long as Qin Ren doesn't talk nonsense, then... he hasn't lost his innocence, and he can still get married in the future.
Moreover, it would be more convenient for him to pretend to be a man.
Thinking about it this way, Liu Qingyue couldn't help but laugh.
After Qin Ren left the room, Liu Qingyue blocked the door.
Although Qin Ren treated him like a man, he still felt no sense of security.
He was very tired and sleepy, and wanted to get a peaceful night's rest, but he could only feel at ease if he blocked the door.
He really didn't want to lie in a strange man's bed, but Qin Ren's bedroom only had one large bed, and there was nowhere else to rest.
He finally couldn't bear it any longer and reluctantly lifted the covers and climbed up.
Then you don't know until you climb it... it's really comfortable.
Because Qin Ren's quilt was so soft; it felt soft and light to the touch, but it was very warm to cover oneself with.
With Qin Ren turning on the air conditioner for him, Liu Qingyue slept very comfortably that night, sleeping until a little after 10 a.m. the next day.
Qin Ren was already up around 10 a.m.
Some people from Zhongjian Village even came to him, wanting to take him to town to buy groceries. The village store was very small, so it was more convenient to buy things in town.
Qin Ren, thinking that there was still an old man in his house, dared not leave the house even for a moment, for fear that the little thief would cause him trouble, so he could only refuse the villagers' kindness.
He steamed two bowls of eggs, ate one himself, and drank a carton of milk.
Seeing that the thief had not yet woken up, they unloaded everything from the car.
He had a lot of things in his car, mostly his clothes, documents, and the like.
He lost his house in the city, and many of his belongings were moved back to his hometown six months ago.
Now those things are very messy, and Qin Ren has just piled them up in the living room of his old home.
While Qin Ren was packing his things, Liu Qingyue finally woke up from her sleep.
When he woke up, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and ashamed to see himself sleeping in a strange man's bed.
He patted his cheeks and then quietly comforted himself.
"You're a man now. What's wrong with a man sleeping in another man's bed? Don't be nervous or afraid. That alien race has no idea who you are."
After comforting herself, Liu Qingyue tidied her clothes and came out of Qin Ren's bedroom.
When he finally got a clear look at Qin Ren's yard and saw the large iron box inside, his expression instantly changed.
Liu Qingyue: "What kind of monster is this?"
Upon hearing his voice, Qin Ren replied calmly, "This is my car."
"car?"
carriage?
tanks?
still……
"It's just an ordinary carriage, similar to the horse-drawn carriages you have back home."
It was at this moment that Qin Ren realized that the little thief didn't seem to understand the situation yet.
He doesn't seem to realize that he has traveled through time. He probably thinks he has just changed places, but he doesn't know that he has changed to a different time and space.
"You should get some rest now. I'll see you off."
As Qin Ren said this, he prepared to change his clothes and send the thief away.
Although Qin Ren lived in a remote area, the villagers were all close. Once everyone knew he was back, many people would come to see him. He was worried that if the thief was seen by others, he wouldn't be able to explain his background.
Upon hearing that she was leaving soon, Liu Qingyue was still a little taken aback.
However, considering his maids and guards, as well as his family who had accidentally become separated from him, he really shouldn't stay here any longer.
But he didn't feel at ease leaving like this.
"Um, could I trade you some gold for some food and weapons?"
He still remembered what Qin Ren had said yesterday, that Qin Ren would trade food and weapons for the key. He didn't want to give up the key, but he could trade the gold he had for Qin Ren's.
Qin Ren curled the corners of his lips upon hearing this, "Looks like you're not so stupid after all."
Liu Qingyue looked displeased upon hearing his words. Of course, he wasn't stupid; he was quite clever.
What does this mean by "rude alien"? He's really underestimating him.
Qin Ren locked the courtyard gate from the inside and then took the thief to the basement.
Liu Qingyue came at night yesterday. The basement light in Qin Ren's house was broken, so he couldn't see the situation in the basement.
It was broad daylight, but Qin Ren had left the basement door open, so the basement wasn't as dark as it was at night.
At this moment, Liu Qingyue could clearly see what the basement looked like.
The basement of Qin Ren's house looks quite large.
There were many shelves inside, and the shelves were piled with a lot of miscellaneous items.
There were farm tools, old clothes, old quilts, a broken bicycle, and a lot of other odds and ends.
After Liu Qingyue went inside, Qin Ren asked her a question.
"How much gold do you have, and how much food and weapons do you want?"
"I, I can't carry that much stuff by myself."
Thinking this, Liu Qingyue took out two gold beans from her clothes.
"Could you sell me that thing you had with you yesterday?"
Yesterday, Qin Ren carried a weapon with him, and that weapon was none other than the deadly stun gun.
Qin Ren couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he heard that Liu Qingyue wanted this.
"Sure, how about the food? How much do you need?"
Liu Qingyue frowned slightly. "We don't need too much food, just bring something convenient."
Qin Ren hadn't gone out to buy ingredients yet, so even if Liu Qingyue wanted more, he couldn't provide any.
Seeing that Liu Qingyue wasn't asking for much, Qin Ren wasn't too bothered.
He bought a bag of bread yesterday, and there are still a few packets of instant noodles in his car.
Both of these foods are very light and convenient, making them perfect for Liu Qingyue.
