"What's happening?"
Lu Zheng was still in a daze, and his hand that was holding his chopsticks was frozen.
Lu Zheng thought that the jade seal only had the ability to transport him across two worlds. But why did it suddenly glow with the light of providence?
How did that happen?
What's it for?
The jade seal didn't give Lu Zheng an answer, so he suppressed his doubts. He ate and drank mechanically as his mind raced.
However, Lu Zheng still had no idea what was going on after the meal.
"Young master, the old man at the door has finished eating and would like to thank you personally."
"No need," Lu Zheng shook his head.
"Young master, I have something to tell you!" The old beggar's voice came from the door.
"Eh?" Lu Zheng's expression changed.
He had just said that in a soft voice, but the old man at the door quickly replied. If it wasn't a coincidence, then he must have heard what he said.
Lu Zheng was more than ten meters away from the main entrance. There was a wall and a door in between. An ordinary person would not be able to do this.
Lu Zheng suddenly realized when he thought about the light of providence.
Could it be a reward for helping others?
But shouldn't that be called merit?
The old beggar must be different
Suspicious, Lu Zheng rose to his feet and strode past the front yard. He walked around the wall and out of his own courtyard.
At this moment, the old beggar had finished the last drop of wine in his glass.
"Good food, but the wine is a little lacking." The old beggar sighed.
Although his appearance was disheveled, he was carefree, without the slightest feeling of being down and out.
As he thought about the various plots in novels, Lu Zheng wondered if this old beggar was really a master beyond the world.
Ancient times ... cold weapons... Could it be that there are supernatural powers in this world?
Lu Zheng's eyes lit up. It seemed like he did not know much about the great Jing dynasty.
That's right, I've only been here for eighteen days, and Tonglin County is only one of the six counties in Yi State of the great Jing dynasty. How could I know the true depth of this world?
"Old sir, do you have something to say to me?"
"I don't deserve to be called 'sir'. I've received a meal and a drink because of your kindness. Seeing that you are about to face a small disaster, I have to tell you."
"Oh?"
"Old beggar, what nonsense are you talking about!" Uncle Li was upset, "Young master, you're pitying the wrong person!" He scolded the old beggar angrily. "He is bluffing. He's just trying to cheat you of your food and drinks. I've seen many such scammers. Don't fall for it!"
After Uncle Li finished speaking, he turned around and waved at the old beggar to chase him away. "Give me the things. Go away!"
The old beggar choked. Seeing that Uncle Li's broom was about to hit him, he hurriedly jumped up and gave the wine glass to Lu Zheng. Then, as he ran away, he shouted, "Put the wine glass by your side at night and it will be resolved."
...
Before Lu Zheng could say anything, the old beggar had already fled.
...
"Old liar!"
Uncle Li raised his broom and spat at the old beggar.
"Young master, he's just an old liar!"
Lu Zheng jolted to his senses. He glanced at Uncle Li helplessly, then raised the wine glass to his eyes. He looked at it carefully, but could not see anything different about it.
"Young master, what are you looking at? He's just an old swindler. He looks like a decent man, but once he speaks, he shows his true colors." Uncle Li reached out to take the wine glass from Lu Zheng's hand. "I'll send it to my wife to wash it a few more times."
"Wait!" Lu Zheng pulled away.
The light of providence could not be faked. Lu Zheng thought about it and concluded that nothing else had happened after he gave the old beggar some food. Besides, his hearing was indeed exceptional...
If this old beggar wasn't a scammer, he might be ...
"Better be safe than sorry. Why don't I leave this wine glass in my bedroom for a night?"
Lu Zheng's heart was beating wildly.
...
First, Lu Zheng sent Uncle Li and Aunt Liu to bed. After washing up, he placed the wine glass on the table in his bedroom. At the same time, he lit the oil lamp and returned to his bed.
After that, Lu Zheng decided to return to the modern world. He first put on the bullet-proof vest, then hid the taser in his sleeve and applied essential oil under his nose. Only then did he return to the ancient times and hide under the blanket.
Then...
He took out his phone and unlocked it with his fingerprint.
He definitely couldn't play games, but Lu Zheng had already downloaded several movies and novels. It was enough for him to pass time.
At the same time, Lu Zheng had been paying attention to the movements outside the door and window and communicated with the jade seal in his mind. He was ready to use it anytime.
"If the old beggar was a liar, then nothing would happen tonight."
"If the old beggar is telling the truth, then this wine glass might really be useful."
"Worse comes to worse, I can still transmigrate back to the modern world. If there really are any strange things, it should be fine during the day... right?"
"I'm young and can run fast!"
...
At midnight, all was silent.
"Pfft!" The oil lamp went out.
Lu Zheng quietly snuggled under the covers. His cell phone was covered with an anti-peeping film, so one couldn't see any light from the side.
Another two hours passed.
"Cha!"
Lu Zheng's eyes glinted.
Because a dagger had suddenly reached through the crack in the door.
"It's a human?"
The person flicked the dagger lightly and moved the door latch. A moment later, the bedroom door was quietly pushed open, and a figure in a black suit slid in silently.
"It's a person!"
Lu Zheng's eyes flickered as he pressed his thumb on the taser's button.
But...
When the man passed by the table and was approaching the bed frame, the wine glass on the table suddenly glowed.
"Swish!"
There seemed to be a small sun in the bedroom all of a sudden.
"Ah!"
With a scream, the person was blinded by the light and subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.
The next moment, the wine glass seemed to have a mind of its own. It jumped up with a "whoosh" and, as fast as lightning, smashed straight into the person's head.
"Bang!"
The intruder let out a muffled groan and suddenly fell to the ground. Although he didn't faint, he was also groaning and couldn't get up.
"Young master!"
An anxious shout came from the front yard, followed by hurried footsteps.
Both Uncle Li and Aunt Liu ran over in their unlined garment.
"Young master!"
Lu Zheng had already lifted his blanket and was looking at the wine glass that was still intact even though it was spinning on the ground.
It was a local product made of cheap materials that would break easily.
Lu Zheng's eyes lit up even more.
"Uncle Li, bring a rope and tie him up first, then send him to the officials!"
"Alright!"
...
When Lu Zheng and Uncle Li sent the intruder to the county office, the jade seal in Lu Zheng's mind had an additional wisp of light of providence.
