In the garden in front of the living room.
A group of young people from the Chen family followed Zuo Shi in high spirits, with smiles on their faces. They spoke to each other, trying to show off themselves in front of Zuo Shi.
Among this group of young people, there are many collateral descendants of the Chen family, but there are also direct descendants of the Chen family like Chen Tianxiao and Chen Tianluo.
Zuo Shi walked among the flowers, looking absent-minded. Her pace was slow and she had no intention of stopping. She was holding a small kettle in her hand, like a carefree elf among the flowers.
Chen Fan walked out of the living room, thought for a moment, and then decided to go directly to the flowers. He strode to Zuo Shi's side, stretched out his hand and said, "Show me the turtle shell."
"Hey, you kid now knows how to please Xiao Shi. Where did you go just now?" Chen Tianxiao snorted dissatisfied.
"Grandpa Zuo has some things to deal with." Chen Fan added in a calm tone, "I came to assist and observe in order to fulfill my promise to Grandpa Zuo. This is different from your goal."
"Our purpose? What is our purpose?" Chen Tianxiao felt self-doubt in his heart. He immediately felt a strange smell on the tip of his nose and asked Chen Fan loudly: "What stench is coming from your body?"
A sour smell slowly spread around Chen Fan.
At first, everyone didn't pay attention. Chen Tianxiao's reminder instantly awakened those Chen family disciples who were expecting to win Zuo Shi's favor. They all covered their noses to avoid doubting Chen Fan's character.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Shi, the only woman in the room and the focus of everyone's attention, showed no intention of retreating. She was still holding the small kettle in place and didn't seem to mind the sour smell on Chen Fan's body.
Zuo Shi stared at Chen Fan with a surprised expression, and began to be surprised by his state.
The young people who visit usually dress up and behave appropriately, even to leave a faint floral fragrance on their bodies. For example, Chen Tianxiao and Chen Tianluo will bathe in flower dew before coming, for fear that their smell will disgust Zuo Shi.
But the behavior of the man in front of him was completely opposite. His warrior uniform was wrinkled and dusty. It had obviously not been cleaned for a long time, and it still exuded the smell of fresh training.
This person doesn't seem to take me seriously!
Zuo Shi was slightly startled, and quickly came up with this evaluation in his mind. However, this only made her more curious about Chen Fan.
Seeing that everyone was moving away, only Zuo Shi remained where he was. Chen Fan silently agreed in his heart and said in a calm tone: "Where is the turtle shell?"
"The turtle shell is in the reception hall. I'll get it for you right away." As soon as Zuo Shi's voice fell, the arcing figure quickly moved away.
In an instant, she disappeared from everyone's sight like light.
Even Chen Fan could only capture the light and shadow of that moment. Chen Tianxiao and others had shocked expressions. It was not until that moment that they realized that Zuo Shi was not only attractive in appearance, but also a powerful warrior that they could not match.
Zuo Shi left very quickly, and his return pace was equally quick.
In just five or six seconds, in the astonishment of Chen Tianxiao and others, she had already left and returned.
Zuo Shi held up a huge turtle shell with one hand, appeared in front of Chen Fan like a whirlwind, and handed the turtle shell to him.
Chen Fan nodded and took the turtle shell. Suddenly he felt his body sink, his steps slipped, and he almost fell down under the weight of the turtle shell.
The energy in his body suddenly surged, and he barely managed to steady himself and said in a deep voice: "It's so heavy!"
He glanced back at Zuo Shi, and he couldn't help but blame him. Did she deliberately make me embarrassed?
However, when he met Zuo Shi's clear and innocent eyes, he found that she did not mean to make a joke, but was actually helping him sincerely.
Zuo Shi waved his hand and said, "I don't know what material this turtle shell is made of. It's just such a small piece, but it weighs as much as seven or eight hundred kilograms. The first time I picked it up, I was also frightened. A jump."
After hearing the words "seven or eight hundred pounds", Chen Tianxiao couldn't help but rub his temples hard, feeling that his whole head was numb.
Zuo Shi seemed to effortlessly master the seven to eight hundred kilogram turtle shell while maintaining fast movements. This deeply hit Chen Tianxiao. He realized the huge gap between himself and Zuo Shi, and a sense of helplessness filled his mind. heart.
When Chen Fan firmly grasped the turtle shell after a brief shake, Chen Tianxiao realized that he was more powerful than he thought. He responded quickly and confirmed that Zuo Shi's words did not mislead them.
"Chen Fan, you guy..." Although Chen Tianxiao was not the best warrior, he was keenly aware that there was something special about Chen Fan. However, he realized that Chen Jian must be guarding Chen Fan's secret, so he stopped his speculation.
Chen Fan disagreed with Chen Tianxiao's doubts. He carefully inspected the turtle shell in his hand, then nodded and confirmed to Zuo Shi: "This is a text that existed in distant history. I need to refer to some information to decipher it. Zuo Shi, follow Let me go to my room."
After saying that, Chen Fan walked straight to his apartment carrying the turtle shell.
Zuo Shi nodded and followed without any delay.
"Brother, should we follow?" Chen Tianluo looked full of doubts and asked in a low voice after Chen Fan and Zuo Shi left.
The curiosity in Chen Tianxiao's heart forced him to consider, "Well, it doesn't hurt to go and have a look." He glanced at the living room to confirm that there was no one else, and then followed him towards Chen Fan's room.
…
Chen Fan's residence is a three-story old house.
The ground floor is a messy storage room filled with strange clutter collected from all over the world. The second floor is his private room, which is warm and full of life. The top floor is like an ancient library, with shelves full of various ancient books and information on historical sites.
Chen Fan led his guest Zuo Shi into the room where he spent his daily life, only to find that another guest Chen Tianxiao and his followers were approaching. He decisively waved at the door to stop them: "We need some quiet here, don't come in yet!"
Not long after he finished speaking, he quickly closed the door and shouted to Zuo Shi, "Let's go to the next level."
Zuo Shi nodded, followed his footsteps obediently, and walked towards the second floor.
"Well, take this turtle shell and go up to the third floor to find a sofa to sit for a while. I'm going to take a shower and change into clean clothes. I'll be back in a while." With that, Chen Fan will The turtle shell was handed to Zuo Shi again, pointing to the stairs on the upper floor and saying, "Just go up there."
"Why are you taking a shower now?" Zuo Shi wrinkled her nose in confusion and glanced sideways at him.
"I just wanted to wash up and be healthier, and I didn't take your feelings into consideration. Little girl, don't think so casually."
"Are you being sentimental?"
"Let's not waste time. Go to the third floor quickly. I want to change clothes."
Chen Fan didn't shy away from anything. As soon as he finished speaking, he took off his warrior uniform and threw it on a clothes rack aside. He was wearing a pair of shorts and most of his body was naked. He glanced lazily at Zuo Shi, " Aren’t you leaving yet?”
During this period of time, he has been practicing hard. After taking off his clothes, his strong body was immediately revealed. Every muscle was well-proportioned and strong, without a trace of excess fat. It was as if it was poured out of molten iron and steel, full of unique male energy. of masculine charm.
Seeing that he took off his clothes at his will without any taboos, Zuo Shi was obviously panicked and cursed Chen Fan in her heart. She blushed and hurriedly carried the turtle shell to the third floor.
This guy's figure is... not bad, Zuo Shi commented secretly in his mind as he went upstairs.
The third floor is spacious, up to 200 square meters.
In this vast space, in addition to bookcases filled with ancient books, there are also various art-like jars, jars, ancient wine glasses and other objects scattered around, each of which is full of history and stories.
Zuo Shi was walking in the middle, and she leisurely pulled out an ancient book with a long history from the bookcase next to her. However, after flipping through a few pages, I couldn't find a single recognizable word. Shaking his head, Zuo Shi whispered in his heart, Chen Fan is really a strange person.
Zuo Shi himself is also a person with a wide range of interests.
From planting, tea art, to astrology, herbal medicine, and weapon refining, she has been deeply involved in these fields. But she has a laid-back personality and cannot tie her worries to one thing. Once she studies something for a period of time, she will become interested in new things.
However, the ancient texts on the third floor involve a lot of history and ancient living customs.
For Zuo Shi, the intensive documentary search was not attractive. She could occasionally turn to ancient books that she could understand, but after just a cursory glance at a few pages, she felt lifeless and boring. This also gave her a deeper understanding of Chen Fan's character. He was really weird.
Are the living customs of ancient people really that important? What practical effect does it have on your life now? His attitude of caring about seemingly insignificant things made Zuo Shi find it a bit incredible, and even thought that Chen Fan was more mundane than her.
