"Let me out!"

It was quite chaotic in the Yufu building.

The servant was busy stopping Master Abner who was about to go out, but he didn't dare to use force. Mr. Alvin ordered that Master Abner was not feeling well and should rest in the room.The servants felt nothing serious except that the young master's face was a little pale and his eyes were red and swollen. His body was as nimble as a clever bird.But they knew that Master Abner was Lord Wang Fu's darling, and they would be terrified if they broke the skin a little bit.

"Master, don't embarrass us, Master Alvin told us to keep an eye on you..." A young maid smiled wryly.

"I don't make it difficult for you, just say that I jumped through the window and ran away."

"How can this work..."

Abner stared, and ran towards the window, "If you don't get out of the way, I will really go through the window!"

"My lords, please don't..."

The servant was busy intercepting Abner again.

"Everyone stop!"

A childish voice came from upstairs, and Abner and the servants looked over upon hearing the sound, and saw Jonny walking upstairs with a serious and dignified face.

"Tell brother to leave." Johnny continued, looking at Abner with a smile on his serious little face.

"Master Johnny, Master Alvin..."

"Mr. Alvin said not to embarrass my brother. Since my brother insists on going out, there must be something important to do. Aren't you embarrassing my brother?" Jonny finished speaking in one breath, and the servants were speechless.

Johnny continued: "Let my brother go, I'll take care of anything."

After speaking, Johnny coughed again.

The servant hurried forward to help Jonny back to the room, and Abner waved to Jonny, "Thank you, my dear brother."

Jonny smiled sweetly, "Be safe and come back early, brother."

When Abner arrived at the hotel, Herbert opened the door for him, and there was only Herbert in the room.

His eyes dimmed, and he asked, "Hasn't Aureas been here?"

Herbert shook his head.

Abner took off his coat rudely, threw it on the hanger, and sat down in front of the mirror, "Let's get started."

This time it went relatively smoothly, and Herbert became much more proficient. After the end, Herbert carefully inspected Abner's wound, and there were still some shallow marks that could not be seen.

"Is this possible to go back in time?" Abner asked.

Herbert nodded, "This small wound shouldn't cause any sensation."

"As long as it doesn't hurt to death."

"No, the mother body is very kind."

The corner of Abner's mouth twitched: "..."

Abner walked out of the hotel and stood in the market, the bustling crowd once again made him feel at a loss.The stall on the opposite side was selling a kind of hand-woven colorful fish, each about a finger long, and the loud shouting made him calm down a little.

"My lord, how many do you want?" the bearded vendor asked eagerly.

"Oh, buy some." Abner looked dazed.

But the enthusiasm of the merchants remained undiminished, "How many do you want?"

Abner looked up at the sky, and said casually, "Five."

Five strips of ten copper coins, Abner paid the money, and walked in the middle of the street with a string of colorful fish.Several times he thought of the sea of ​​flames in his dream and Aurelias who had nowhere to escape.

"Damn it." He clenched his fists, the wind was blowing under his feet, and the tail of the colorful fish in his hand was constantly twisting.

Soon he went out and stood in front of Maccury Long Street. Fish was still being sold at the corner of the long street, and the crowd was noisy. He felt very bored. He passed through the crowd and walked straight forward. After a while, he stood at the In front of the Red Pavilion.He glanced at the hall, there was no one there, he let out a long sigh of relief, and slipped in lightly, intending to go directly to Pearl.But it was still discovered by two sharp-eyed prostitutes.

"Ah—the young master is here!"

"Yo, you brought something, is it for me?"

The two prostitutes enthusiastically surrounded them, causing other prostitutes who had nothing to do to follow.Although they knew that Abner would not order themselves, it was rare to meet such a high-quality customer, and they wanted to chat with him more.

"Hey, master, why didn't you talk much these two times?"

"Yes, young master, you even praised me for being beautiful..."

Abner: "..."

At this moment, he only felt that his ears were filled with these charming voices, and his head was getting more and more bulging.

"Hey, isn't the young master shy?"

"Master, don't expect Pearl to serve you today, just choose me."

"Oh?"

"Haha, young master, that lord is about the same height as you, with blond hair. Whenever we tease him, his face turns red..."

Sean!Abner frowned.

Soon, Abner's face became less stiff, and he pushed away the prostitutes, "I'd like to see which master it is."

Abner went straight to Pearl's room.The faces of the prostitutes behind him all changed.

"Master, is this not good?"

"Master, why don't you wait in my room."

Abner stood down, turned his head, and smiled at the girls watching the show, "It's rare to have a chance to play some new tricks."

Then he turned back again, and slamming the fish vigorously, went straight to the Pearl's door with one last cry.

He sighed silently, patted his stiff face, stood in front of Pearl's room door, and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" It was Pearl's voice, which sounded extremely calm.

"Abner."

It was Sean who opened the door.The two looked at each other for a long time without speaking to each other. After a while, Abner picked up the colorful fish in his hand and smiled slightly: "I'll... give some fish."

Sean glanced at the fish and pulled him in, "Bang—" and slammed the door shut.

Abner staggered, stabilized his body, and was about to hang the fish up, but saw a huge, extremely beautiful big carp already hanging on the wall.He looked at the small fish in his hand, scratched his head, and looked at Pearl in embarrassment, "I never noticed that there is such a beautiful fish here..."

Pearl took Abner's little fish and said with a smile, "Because the young master has never paid attention to these things."

Sean sat on the bench and looked at Abner and Pearl with a gloomy face, but the two seemed to avoid his eyes deliberately, and talked on their own.

Pearl hung the little colorful fish elsewhere, and Abner glanced at Sean, surprised by his expression.He twitched the corner of his mouth, pointed to the big carp on the wall and asked, "Where did you buy this? I want to buy one too."

"A gift from an old friend." Pearl's face was covered with a layer of gray.

Abner was surprised, didn't ask any more questions, and only praised: "The hand is very skillful."

"It was this dexterity that killed her."

Abner paused, looked at the pearl and continued: "Since her fabrics were favored by the nobles, she seems to have changed. I advised her not to cling too tightly to the Lord, but she continued to work harder until a few days ago. She died that night. Alas, poor girl, I heard she was wearing the red dress she made that night, and died a terrible death."

Red clothes, died a miserable death?

Abner quickly asked: "May I ask, is this girl..." He made a beheading motion.

Pearl nodded in surprise, "I thought this matter was blocked."

Abner smiled mysteriously.

Sean's patience had run out, and he angrily stepped forward and grabbed Abner's arm, pulling him toward him.

"Ah... Sean."

"Tell me, are you a mockingbird?" Sean stared at Abner closely.

Abner's mind went blank, he didn't expect Sean to be so direct.

"Yes." He replied, and suddenly felt that a thorn in his lung had been pulled out at last.

He looked at Sean sincerely, waiting for Sean to lose his temper or break down and cry.But Sean is also like him, his always gloomy face finally cleared up.

Suddenly Sean hugged Abner, and Abner was taken aback.

Sean put his head on Abner's shoulder and said softly, "Thank you."

Abner patted Sean on the back, but did not speak.

Sean continued: "But do you know what I want to do most now?"

Before Abner had time to react, Sean pulled out an arm, clenched his fist, and punched him in the stomach.

"Ahem..." Abner covered his stomach, bent over and coughed, "Damn it, Sean, what are you doing!"

Sean poured him a glass of water, put it in his hand, then sat on the high chair, raised his chin, looked at Abner with a regal look, and said, "It's nothing, just to relieve my anger."

Abner glared at Sean, gritted his teeth, and said, "Foolish Lord!"

Sean shrugged, "You're just playing lip service."

Abner gulped down his saliva, walked to Sean, and pushed him off the high chair, "Rang Rang, you sit so high, I don't seem to be used to it."

Sean: "..." But he still gave up his seat and sat on the lower bench next to him.

Abner lowered his voice, and said in a serious voice, "What I'm going to say next is not to play tricks on you."

Upon hearing this, Pearl politely excused herself and left.

Abner briefly talked about his ability to travel back in time, and Sean glanced at him suspiciously.

"Are you sure you're not kidding me? Is there really someone who can turn into a black panther?" Sean asked.

Abner kept his mouth shut, "You'll know if it's true in due time."

"Why didn't you tell me until now?" Sean's voice was cold.

"My lords, I don't have much chance to show you."

Sean: "..."

Abner continued: "Do you know Adrian?"

Sean thought about it carefully, then nodded, "It seems to be a bard who has a good relationship with my uncle."

Abner coughed lightly, even Sean didn't know about the relationship between Adrian and the Duke, of course it might be because he was young at the time and didn't think too much about it, so he could only tactfully say: "The relationship between Adrian and the Duke is good. "Then he told what he saw in the Duke's memory one by one.

Sean's face turned blue for a while, then turned pale for a while, and finally he grabbed Abner's collar, stared at Abner closely, and asked earnestly, "Who is Adrian!"

Abner twitched the corner of his mouth, pushed Sean's hand away, and patted his shoulder, "Hope is on you."

"what?"

"Trying to remember the time before Adrian disappeared."

Sean frowned, "Damn it, it's been almost three years, are you playing tricks on me?"

Abner didn't speak, but solemnly patted Sean on the shoulder, giving him encouragement in his eyes.

Sean: "..."

They sat for a while, but Pearl still hadn't come back. Abner left a note for Pearl, and pulled Sean out through the window.Standing in the backyard of the Red Pavilion, Sean watched Abner skillfully push through the bushes to find his way out, and asked, "Is this how you fooled me?"

Abner scratched his head, "My lords, can this matter be turned over..."

Sean glared at him, and followed him to a remote path, which was winding and potholed, and only two people could walk side by side. A dirty domestic dog hurried past them with a small piece of sausage in its mouth. Pass.

Sean frowned, and asked Abner, "Is this connected to the city?"

At some point, Abner had a piece of grass in his mouth and hummed a little tune, "Tong, just follow me."

After walking for a while, the road ahead was wider, and there was a faint noise coming from the front.The two got closer, and saw a group of people surrounding a small vendor in front of them. Abner took a closer look, and found that it was the vendor who sold the "Ghost Leopard Picture" before.

I saw him standing in the crowd waving a stack of papers in his hand, shouting loudly: "'Red Heart Arrow'! 'Red Heart Arrow'! With this, you will no longer be afraid of ghosts and leopards! 'Red Heart Arrow'! 'Red Heart Arrow'! Ghost The leopard deserves death!"
