In the time-traveler chat group, am I the only one on Earth?

Lu Yun's hands were not slender, but they were not rough either, and there were no calluses on his knuckles.

But at this moment, apart from a little dust, there was nothing on it? This doesn't make sense!

"Not even a scratch?? How did you do that?"

Lu Yun smiled and wiped the dust off his hands: "I'll tell you slowly later, but as my girlfriend, you can't go around talking about my abilities."

"Who...who is your girlfriend?"

"You agreed and now you want to go back on your word?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaoqiao pouted and her face flushed slightly.

"I feel like I've been deceived by you!!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Seeing Chu Xiaoqiao's adorable and silly appearance, Lu Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He's showing off his divine power in front of others!

Lu Yun only ever did this in front of Chu Xiaoqiao.

But abilities like controlling sparrows and shattering rocks with a single punch sound fantastical.

So even if Chu Xiaoqiao spread rumors, very few people would believe her.

Of course, the miracles should be limited to this; anything more would be inappropriate.

As Lu Yun led the shy Chu Xiaoqiao down the mountain, his mind raced.

"Lin Chen also has internal energy cultivation techniques, but I still can't learn them because my talent isn't enough. So I have to complete Xiao Yi's task as soon as possible."

The deposit Xiao Yi gave for the task was a Qi Condensation Pill and a basic internal energy cultivation method.

The Qi Condensation Pill simply allows the food you eat to be automatically converted into true qi and stored in your meridians.

While basic internal energy cultivation methods don't have talent restrictions, they only allow you to use true qi.

To become stronger, one must improve one's cultivation talent and cultivate powerful internal energy techniques.

Otherwise, just like before, a single punch would drain all the true energy from the body.

"Hey, Xiaoyun, is this your girlfriend?"

"Ok!"

"So beautiful? That's impressive!"

"When are you planning to get married?"

"By the way, what kind of work do you do now?"

"How much is your salary?"

Have you ever thought about starting your own business?

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Yun began taking Chu Xiaoqiao to visit each household to offer New Year's greetings.

When faced with these inquiries from relatives, Lu Yun gave them all perfunctory answers.

Fortunately, since Lu Yun's father's factory went bankrupt, Lu Yun's family has lost contact with many of his "relatives".

Therefore, Lu Yun could only visit a few houses; he started visiting on the second day of the Lunar New Year and finished on the fourth.

A few days later, on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Migrant workers began to return to the city to work one after another, and Shen Weiwei, Xu Bin, Shu Yutong and others also returned to Chengdu.

Shops on various streets in the city gradually opened for business.

After Lu Yun brought Chu Xiaoqiao back to Rongcheng, he boarded a plane directly to Guicheng.

On the afternoon of the ninth day of the first lunar month, the sun shone brightly.

In Datian Village, Naxian County, Guiyang City, Zhang Xingu was leisurely sunbathing in his yard, leading a fierce wolfhound.

Datian Village is located in a remote area, with only about a hundred people in the entire village, and the houses are far apart.

It usually takes more than ten minutes to walk from one house to another.

In this sparsely populated village, the villagers have nothing to do during their off-season.

Every day they just play cards, bask in the sun, and chat about family matters and neighborhood gossip.

Zhang Xingui is fifty years old this year. He is not tall, but he is still in good health.

My family lives in a single-story house.

I used to grow crops at home, but I don't grow crops anymore.

He spends his days at home playing mahjong, scrolling through short videos, and sending lewd text messages to Widow Li from the next village.

"Old man, I'm going back to the city to work."

Zhang Li dragged her suitcase out of the house and greeted her father without turning her head.

Zhang Li is Zhang Xingui's daughter.

She has an average appearance, is about 165 cm tall, and has a reasonably good figure.

I work as a sales clerk in a clothing store in a county town 30 miles away.

Hearing his daughter's words, Zhang Xingui didn't even look up: "Okay, be careful on the road."

"understood."

After saying this, Zhang Li went outside and walked to the roadside.

I got into my neighbor's old tricycle and disappeared down the forest path.

Less than half an hour after the tricycle left, a thin old man dressed in knight's clothes and gloves arrived at Zhang Xingui's house.

"Hey bro, my car broke down on the main road. The tow truck won't be here for at least an hour and a half. Could I have a glass of water here?"

"Want some water?"

Zhang Xingui raised an eyebrow, clearly showing some aversion to the old man, and impatiently curled his lip.

"I don't have any water here. You'll have to go ask for some elsewhere."

"No, brother, there's no village or shop in sight here. At my age, how can I walk around like this? How about this, I'll give you fifty yuan?"

"Fifty yuan??"

Upon hearing that there was money to be made, Zhang Xingu immediately perked up.

Although fifty yuan isn't much, it's just a cup of water, so he doesn't lose anything.

"Yes, fifty yuan. It's mainly because I'm getting old and can't walk very well anymore."

The old man, panting heavily, finished speaking and took out a wad of cash from his knight's pouch, then handed over a fifty-yuan note.

"That's it!!"

Zhang Xingui hesitated for a moment, but still took the fifty yuan.

After confirming that it was real money, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Okay, wait here for me for two minutes."

"that......"

The old man looked at the wolfhound that Zhang Xingui was holding and asked, "Can I sit and rest under your eaves for a while?"

"That won't do, you have to pay more."

"Sigh, how can you be like this... Fine, fine, fine, I'll give you another fifty, okay?"

The old man reluctantly took out another fifty-yuan note.

For the sake of the fifty yuan, Zhang Xingui stopped arguing.

To prevent the wolfhound from biting the old man, he tied it up in a corner of the yard when he entered the house.

However, after the old man came in, he did not sit under the eaves as he had said. Instead, he looked around and followed Zhang Xingui into the house.

At that moment, Zhang Xingui was filling a paper cup with water from the water dispenser when he noticed the shadow at the door. He shouted impatiently.

"Who the hell let you in? You better get out of here...!"

Before he could finish speaking, the old man was already standing in front of him.

Zhang Xingui reacted quickly, trying to grab a fruit knife from the nearby table to defend himself, but the old man was faster than him.

boom!

He kicked him away.

The powerful impact caused Zhang Xingui to slam against the wall and fall to the ground.

He was completely disoriented from the fall.

He tried to shout, but the other person immediately stepped on his hand and grabbed his hair, stuffing a rag into his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a dagger was pressed against his throat.

"Don't move, don't shout, or you'll die right now."

"Uuuuuuuuuuu!!"

"Woof woof, woof woof!!"
