The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 473

The old man naturally didn't know anything and was still wondering why the young man who had been talking eloquently suddenly became quiet?

He lowered his head to glance at the chessboard and silently let go of several pieces.

Crystal noticed this detail and laughed, "Grandpa, I'm just suddenly sleepy after not sleeping for three days."

The old man was surprised: "How can you not sleep for three days?!"

Crystal started pretending to be pitiful: "I took a ten-hour ox cart from my hometown to the town next door, then took a five-hour tractor to the city, and then took a 40-hour green skin train to the imperial capital. I didn't dare to sleep, I was afraid someone would steal my stuff. My mother told me there are many more thieves outside than in the village."

The old man was shocked: "My god! Where did you come from the boondocks? To think you have read so many books! What you just said, I thought you were a doctoral student!"

Crystal smiled shyly: "I got admitted to college. I'm the first person from our village in forty years to get admitted to college!"

Old Man: "Great young man! Why don't you go register at school?!"

Crystal: "Registration doesn't start until the 6th. The school won't accept me if I go now."

Old Man: "Oh oh, so where are you staying these two days?"

Crystal: "In the park."

The old man started frowning: "Such a good seedling, the future of the motherland, can't sleep in the park! I have a vacant house, come with me!"

Crystal was flattered: "Grandpa, isn't this not so good?"

Old man: "It's okay, that house of mine has been empty for many years, and there are no valuables. Just stay if I let you stay."

After pushing back and forth three times, Crystal agreed and followed the old man.

Nan Xiangwan yawned not too far or too close behind the two.

When they arrived at their destination, they realized that the so-called house that had been vacant for many years mentioned by the old man was an old quadrangle courtyard.

It was very big, but it had been uninhabited for many years and was covered in dust.

Crystal was of course not picky and immediately started cleaning up as soon as he entered the house, which made the old man very gratified. He rummaged out some old quilts and so on from the storage room, gave the key on the spot, made an appointment to continue playing chess after dinner tomorrow, and left.

After the old man left, Nan Xiangwan popped out.

Crystal's smile disappeared from his face, and said coldly: "This is the place I found."

Nan Xiangwan cracked her knuckles: "Use force to solve it?"

Crystal sneered, placed the key safely on the table, and then stood face to face with Nan Xiangwan in the courtyard.

Ten minutes later.

Nan Xiangwan was lying in the only cleaned room, covered with a quilt and ready to sleep.

Crystal was sweeping outside the door, making beds, scrubbing toilets.

He felt so wronged!

The quadrangle where the two lived was in the east, and there were also clusters of quadrangles gathered in the west, where Cang Hai worked at a hot pot restaurant.

At this time, Cang Hai looked at the time and became more and more nervous.

Damn it, he didn't come for the afternoon employee meal, will Flat Head Brother come tonight?

I hope he doesn't come now!

On the way, Cang Hai was nervous all the time, constantly thinking about how to distract the boss and other employees, but he kept waiting until the hot pot restaurant closed, and Flat Head Brother never showed up.

Cang Hai was confused, where is the person?

Damn it!

In another place, the milk tea shop where Invincible worked also closed its doors. There were not many leftover ingredients from the daytime, but it was enough for Invincible's personal food source.

He ate half first, then waited with a bucket of water in place.

He waited until midnight, cursing and eating the rest of the food, and left with the water.

He didn't come!

Can't believe he left food for you!

...

That night, a small video went viral across the Internet.

The video source was a mother of an elementary school student who was recording a video while educating her son who had just started fifth grade.

In the video, the mother painstakingly said: "Mom does not encourage you to lie. The teachers at school also told you that you can't lie. "

The child stubbornly said: "I didn't lie! It was Spider-Man who snatched my red scarf!"

The child's mother continued to educate him. At first she was very patient, but under the child's insistence, the tone began to change.

Mother: "If you insist it was Spider-Man, then okay, show me how the other party snatched it and what he used your red scarf for?"

The child immediately took a rope, tied it to his hand, and tried to hang himself up and leap like what he saw that day.

As a result...

Slap!

He fell head first onto the ground, wailing loudly!

You think crying will fix it?

No!

The child crawled up crying, took out a new red scarf, and pretended seriously in front of the camera: "That's what it was like!"

Extremely persistent!

The original video was just ordinary parent-child education, but this kid was so funny, and the plot hole of Spider-Man snatching the red scarf was huge, which instantly triggered online discussions.

So the video went viral!

It went viral to the point that the class teacher of Elementary School No. 23 saw this video and was shocked.

Damn, isn't this the one from her class?

Yes, this child insisted all day that his red scarf was snatched away by a bad Spider-Man. The class teacher had been educating the child that he could not lie, if he lost it, just say he lost it, and not make up something about Spider-Man.

Who knew the child didn't listen at all, and even made a fuss about it online?

Now it's good, Elementary School No. 23 is famous!

The class teacher held her forehead, at a loss for words for a while.

...

Nan Xiangwan slept until daylight, got up and went to the yard. Crystal had already drawn well water for her to wash up.

The door of the next room was closed, but there was no human presence inside. Crystal was not there.

Nan Xiangwan didn't care. He must have gone to do the mission or look for food, huh, or maybe he was afraid of being beaten up so he ran away.

She simply washed up, and also washed the red scarf clean and put it back on.

Staggering, Nan Xiangwan walked from east to west, and came to Invincible's milk tea shop.

Invincible: "..."

Nan Xiangwan: "Have you had breakfast yet?"

It was the exact same conversation, making it seem like time and space overlapped between yesterday and today.

Invincible was confused for a moment, and started driving her away: "No food, go away!"

Nan Xiangwan: "How much do you get paid per day?"

Invincible was speechless. He took out a bread from behind and handed it over: "Just this, nothing else left."

Nan Xiangwan weighed the small bread in her hand: "Sigh! You are so poor."

Little Invincible who can't eat his fill and has no money.

While complaining, there were people passing by next to them. Nan Xiangwan looked around and found that many people were browsing Douyin.

One with the highest number of views came from a fifth grader at Elementary School No. 23.

Title: The Snatched Red Scarf!

Some young couples walked by while laughing and commenting on this video.

"Who would snatch a red scarf?"

"But this kid looks very serious, doesn't seem to be lying."

"Even if someone snatched a red scarf, they wouldn't wear it like that, right?"

Just as they finished speaking, the young couple stopped at the door of the milk tea shop, and saw Flat Head Brother sitting on the curb across the street.

He had a full costume covering his face, with the red scarf covering his face like a bib.

Young couple: "..."

Someone really wears it like this? It looks pretty good though!
