Descending upon the terrifying heavens as a superman

"Run! Run!"

The men who had just transformed into bandits and robbers had now reverted to unarmed villagers, scrambling and crawling as if they wished their parents had given them extra legs to run away.

After running for nearly three miles, the group finally caught their breath and caught their breath.

"Stop, stop, it should be alright here..."

One of them shouted to the leader, "Brother Tiger, just now, just now that mansion..."

Tiger's face was extremely ugly, and he said with lingering fear, "What mansion? How many years have you all lived here? When have you ever seen such a tall and nice landlord's mansion in the wild...?"

"That place... is clearly a former mass grave."

……

……

"Young master, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just some scratches. Thank you for helping me, miss..."

Zhang Yue squinted. Although he couldn't see his surroundings clearly, the owner of the house didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him.

An hour ago, Zhang Yue was cornered by several villagers who were robbing and looting. The villagers surrounded him and threw stones and machetes at him, preventing Zhang Yue from having a chance to use his Golden Knife Spell to fight them.

The pistol they got from Huang Huotu was completely out of bullets.

Fortunately, there's always a way out; at the critical moment, the homeowner saved him.

"Young master, have some tea—" The other person was dressed in white, gentle and refined, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear, and gently pushed the teacup she had poured in front of Zhang Yue.

Although Zhang Yue couldn't make out the other person's face clearly, he felt that she must be a beautiful woman.

but……

Zhang Yue didn't drink it; she just picked it up and took a small sip with her lips, then put it down without even putting it in her mouth.

The woman covered her mouth with her sleeve. "Young master, why aren't you drinking the tea? Is it too hot? Or is it not fragrant enough?"

Zhang Yue shook his head. "It's not that the tea isn't fragrant enough, it's just that I have something to do. I need to go to Renjia Town to see a doctor."

"You should have noticed by now that I have an eye condition."

The woman nodded. "Indeed, I could tell as soon as you came in. But it's getting late, and there are wolves and tigers outside. It's inconvenient for you to travel alone at night. Why don't you stay here for the night, and I'll take you there tomorrow?"

"Oh, I see..." Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment before saying, "This isn't very convenient, is it? By the way, where are your family members?"

The woman smiled gently, "Don't worry, sir, my family all run businesses in the provincial capital. I live alone now..."

"By the way, may I ask your honorable name, young master?"

Zhang Yue said, "My name is Zhang Yue. And you, young lady?"

"My surname is Dong..."

"Miss Dong..." Zhang Yue nodded. "Miss Dong, thank you so much for saving my life today. I have no way to repay your kindness."

Miss Dong covered her mouth with her sleeve and chuckled jokingly, "So, how do you plan to repay me?"

Zhang Yue felt vaguely familiar with this scene, but he was in a dreamlike state and couldn't concentrate at all. He could only subconsciously say, "Let me give you a gift."

Zhang Yue took out a mechanical pocket watch he bought on Pinduoduo. In the Republican era, pocket watches or wristwatches were very common. Zhang Yue had prepared two when he came, intending to give them to Uncle Jiu as a gift.

"What is this?" came Miss Dong's surprised voice from the other end of the line. "There's... a tiny needle jumping around on this. How can it move?"

At this moment, Zhang Yue explained, "That's the second hand, the longer one behind it is the minute hand, and the short one at the very back is the hour hand."

"This is a timer from the Westerners. The second hand completes one revolution, which is 60 seconds. 60 seconds is one minute. Then the minute hand completes one revolution, which is 60 minutes. 60 minutes is one hour."

Miss Dong exclaimed in surprise, "So this is a Western item... This is so valuable, are you going to give it to me?"

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "It's just a watch, how can it compare to Miss Dong's life-saving grace?"

Miss Dong's eyes welled up with tears, "In all my years, you're the first person to give me a gift..."

"By the way, how did you get all of these?"

"I'm a student who just returned from studying abroad... These are just common gifts overseas. By the way, you've never had chocolate before, have you? I'll give you some."

Zhang Yue took out all the dry food he had brought from his backpack, including chocolate, compressed biscuits, and canned food, and gave it to the other person.

"I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, so please accept these snacks as a gift for the young lady."

"You are so good to me..."

Miss Dong rested her chin on her hand, her bright eyes fixed on Zhang Yue, and said, "Young master, you said you returned from studying abroad, so could you tell me... what kind of place is overseas?"

"Are there any differences between foreigners and us? I've heard they like to eat people and look like demons..."

Zhang Yue shook his head. "That's a misconception. Foreigners are just like us; they have a nose, a mouth, and eyes. It's just that foreigners are divided into white people, black people..."

"Then there are several types of white people, some with black hair, some with blond hair, some with red hair, and their pupils also come in several colors."

"These foreigners have all sorts of colorful hair...is it really that amazing?"

"Yes, their civilization has been invaded by foreign races for thousands of years, resulting in intermarriage, various fusions, and diverse skin colors..."

At this point, Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh.

"Young master, then tell me more about what their place is like..."

"They have powerful ships and cannons, capable of sailing thousands of miles, but I believe that one day we Chinese will be able to catch up with them..."

Zhang Yue described these overseas landscapes: railway trains that can carry thousands of people, hot air balloons that can take people into the sky, and giant ships that can float on the waves of the ocean.

Every now and then, this would elicit gasps of surprise from Miss Dong, who had already become a little fan of Zhang Yue. At one point, she even asked innocently if hot air balloons could fly to the Western Paradise, saying that it would be great if they could...

Then Zhang Yue laughed and told him that the Western Paradise was nothing, and that humans would be able to go to space and the moon in the future.

Miss Dong then asked Zhang Yue curiously, "What is space?"

"Young master, you know so much. If it were in the past, you would definitely be the top scholar in the imperial examination..."

After Zhang Yue explained, the other party gradually went from a little fangirl to a big fangirl.

Without realizing it, the two found themselves sitting on the same bed, getting closer and closer together...

And Zhang Yue, for some reason, went from being wary of even drinking tea to becoming a confidant...

Before long, the gauze curtains were lowered, and clothes were thrown outside one by one...

Zhang Yue seemed to have a dream, a dream he hadn't had in many years. In the dream, the face of his first love, Ye Suyao, appeared, making him very angry.

Its vision, its vision.

Like stars shining brightly

Seeing this makes my heart race.
