One, two, three...
Tang Chen looked at the cockroaches jumping around in the plastic bag, and her right eye couldn't help but twitch. She didn't know what was happening, but her face turned pale, and she suddenly felt nauseous, almost vomiting her overnight meal.
When Tang Chen wanted to throw away the bag full of thirteen cockroaches, he found that his body was shaking for some reason, and even his legs were limp in place, unable to move.
To put it bluntly, cockroaches are insects with shells; however, there is something indescribably disgusting about them, especially when so many of them gather in a small bag and urinate and defecate in it at will.
Tang Chen looked at the cockroach in her hand, her palms soaked with sweat. Fear suddenly filled her mind, and a feeling of nausea filled her chest.
I don't know if it was because the bag was too stuffy or what, but when Tang Chen calmed down, the cockroaches in the bag suddenly died in an instant...
Old Cockroach No. 108 was observing all this silently in the dark. Now, the time had come: "Foolish human, let me show you the wrath of the cockroach clan! Today I'll let you know who said it here..."
Old Cockroach No. 108 hadn't finished his speech when Tang Chen accidentally stepped on him and he died.
Number 101, who was observing secretly, looked at the flat body of old cockroach number 108 and wailed, "Elder!"
Tang Chen lifted his foot slightly and looked at the scattered cockroaches on the ground, his face full of black lines: "Fuck, why are there still some? No, I'm going to vomit!"
To avoid any further complications, Tang Chen carefully tied the bag shut, changed into the skirt she'd bought on Taobao for half a month's worth of food, combed her hair, grabbed the bag she'd prepared before playing games, and hurried downstairs carrying the little corpses and trash. If she hadn't been rushing to join her fellow Hanfu Club members for an event, she felt she could have caught even more cockroaches.
…
With green grass under my feet, the clear blue sky above my head, the fragrance of grass in my nose, and the sound of birdsong in my ears...
Tang Chen's eyes were glazed over, and she was bewildered as she was surrounded by a sea of vibrant colors. She kept replaying the past, but all she remembered was that she had gone out to throw away some trash. After she left the dormitory, everything changed.
Hence, the previous series of fantasies about Xiaoqiang. She couldn't find a reason to soothe her inner uneasiness except this, Xiaoqiang's curse!
"Uh, it's so quiet."
Although he could hear the constant sounds of insects and birds, the lack of people around could easily make him feel uneasy. Tang Chen put his phone, which was out of service area, into his handbag, closed his eyes, and stretched out.
"Ah, I must be too tired, hahaha, I must be dreaming."
It's impossible to travel through time, not even in this lifetime. I don't know much and my imagination is wild, so I can only treat it as a dream to barely maintain my life...
Tang Chen looked carefully. Although the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were of various varieties, they all showed signs of being pruned. After thinking for a moment, Tang Chen took a dry branch in his left hand and a large rock in his right hand and began his adventure.
This scene actually made Tang Chen feel a little emotional. When she was in elementary school, she was considered a leader among the kids. Every day after school, there were always five or six little kids following her to explore.
Back then, she was the queen of the wheat fields back home, two twigs pinned to her waistband, a blade of grass in her mouth, four or five followers at her heels, her dominance over the countryside unquestioned. Well, what a beautiful poem!
"Ah, there's the sound of a piano!"
The lingering sound of the piano that suddenly came into his ears made Tang Chen's originally depressed mood suddenly cheer up again. It was good to have someone around. At least seeing a figure would make him less scared!
While Tang Chen was wandering around looking for the sound of the piano, he was playing a little theater in his mind, imagining what would happen if he met someone next.
Brain hole 1:
"...Um, hello. Excuse me, do you understand Mandarin?"
“???”
"...Can you speak Mandarin?"
“…”
The play ends because of a language barrier. Tang Chen dies because he cannot communicate normally with others and is beaten to death by people who mistake him for a thief.
Brain hole 2:
"you……"
"Someone, there's an assassin!"
"puff!"
Before Tang Chen could finish his words, he was mistaken for an assassin and executed on the spot. The play ends...
The more Tang Chen imagined it, the more panicked he became: "Oh my god, this can't be true! No, no, I must find a way to save myself first."
As the sound of the piano became clearer and clearer, Tang Chen couldn't help but slow down his pace: "This tune seems to be "Lotus Emerging from Water", but it's not quite like it."
Following the sound, I saw a woman in green burning incense and playing the zither. Her hands danced with a smile on the zither as she plucked and stroked the strings. A maid stood upright beside her, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was also immersed in the music.
Tang Chen stopped and looked across the lotus pond at the woman playing the piano. It was as if he had seen a goddess. But before Tang Chen could finish the song, the piano music suddenly stopped.
"Everyone who comes is a guest, so you may as well come out and see me."
Tang Chen came back to his senses and realized that he had been discovered. He quickly walked out from under the tree: "Sorry, sorry!"
The woman in green slowly stood up and bowed slightly to Tang Chen across the water. Then she asked in a perfectly balanced tone, "Young lady, it seems you are not a guest of the mansion?"
Tang Chen quickly threw the branch and stone in his hand to the ground and explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to barge in. I got lost and heard the music and thought someone was there, so I came here. Sorry, sorry."
"Haha, no problem. Shi Mo, send this girl out."
"yes."
Tang Chen followed behind Shi Mo, sizing up the little girl who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen with a constant smile on her face. Thinking she was someone who could talk easily, and since he was a talkative person, he simply mustered up the courage to speak to Shi Mo. "Sister, your daughter is so charming, beautiful, and a good pianist."
Shi Mo couldn't help but straighten his back when he heard Tang Chen's words. Her daughter, the eldest daughter of the Su family, was as beautiful as her husband, a first-rate beauty. It could be said that across Jiangdu County, there was no woman of her generation more perfect than Su Zhirou. Her parents had put a lot of thought into getting her to work for Su Zhirou, and it was rare to find a master as peaceful and generous as her.
"That's right. My daughter is a famous talented woman. Today's banquet is held by the master to choose a husband for her."
Tang Chen and Shi Mo chatted as they walked, and they didn't feel that time passed slowly. It didn't take long before they reached the back corner door of the Su Mansion. "Thank you, Miss, for seeing me out. I also hope that your daughter can find a husband of her dreams."
"Then go slowly, girl."
Looking at the slowly closing door, Tang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they didn't blame him too much. Otherwise, such a big family would have many ways to punish people.
However, Tang Chen had just left the mansion through the back door when he was not paying attention and was pulled back by someone.
