Chapter 474: Leaving City 49
Lou Xiao'e asked with a smile, "Husband, where will we stay?"
Zhang Lei pointed into the distance: "This whole place is ours. You can live wherever you want. Whatever kind of house you like, I'll build it for you."
Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up: "Really? I want the castle!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Lei waved his hand, and a huge ancient castle rose from the ground.
Seeing this, the others also expressed their desired house styles.
Zhang Lei fulfilled all their requests, connecting all the buildings into a cohesive and well-arranged layout.
When everyone was tired from playing, Zhang Lei waved his hand, and a soft lawn appeared on the ground. Everyone lay down together and sighed repeatedly.
Lou Xiao'e then asked, "Husband, can we take these things out of here?"
Zhang Lei shook his head: "We can't take it out; we can only use it in this area."
Lou Xiao'e felt somewhat regretful.
Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Let's make this our secret base."
Afterwards, Zhang Lei called all his wives and children together and said seriously, "No one is allowed to reveal a single word about anything here to outsiders. You all know the consequences of speaking out."
Everyone nodded solemnly, even the older children echoed their agreement.
Zhang Lei continued, "We are absolutely safe here. This will be the ancestral home of the Zhang family from now on. Starting today, we will leave Beijing in batches and disappear from everyone's sight completely."
"Starting tomorrow, we'll leave in batches as planned. During this time, you should say goodbye to your families properly. Once we've settled down outside and miss them, I'll send someone to bring them over. But you absolutely cannot tell them about this space, otherwise, they'll never be able to enter."
Everyone looked solemn and nodded in agreement.
Ding Qiunan asked curiously, "Is the robot you keep with your family also like this?"
Zhang Lei nodded: "Yes, but they hide in the shadows and only appear when your loved ones are in danger."
Upon learning that the robot was fully capable and reliable, everyone was completely relieved.
Zhang Lei sent a robot to look after the children, while he, along with his wives, entered the palace he had personally designed.
Everyone looked at the huge palace, where only a giant bed was placed, and they all understood what was going on.
Zhang Lei laughed heartily: "My beloved concubines, today I wish you all to serve me in bed and share the joys of family life."
With a wave of his hand, the surroundings instantly transformed into a scene of lavish feasts and dazzling lights.
The wives chimed in with sweet voices, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
This night is destined to be sleepless.
It was ten days later when Zhang Lei came out with his wives Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, Ye Shuhua, Lou Xiao'e, Ding Qiunan, Chen Xueru, Yu Li, Yu Haitang, He Yushui, Yang Maixiang, He Wenhui, He Wenyuan, Han Chunyan, Su Meng, and Guan Xiaoguan.
Fortunately, Zhang Lei adjusted the time flow in the palace area to be different from that in the outside world, so only about an hour had passed for the children outside.
Everyone covered their mouths and chuckled as they looked at Zhang Lei, who appeared slightly tired. They were finally seeing that even this "emperor" had his limits.
Zhang Lei told everyone about the flow of time.
Yu Haitang hugged his arm and exclaimed in delight, "Honey, does that mean we should adjust the flow rate to 10,000 to 1? If we live inside for 10,000 years, only 1 year will have passed outside?"
Zhang Lei nodded.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this the secret to longevity?"
Zhang Lei tapped her on the head: "What are you thinking about? Although the flow of time is different, your lifespans are definitely passing by. Every ten days here means ten days less of your lifespan."
He has already adjusted the overall time of the space back to be consistent with the outside world.
Everyone then realized that there was no such thing as "a day in heaven being a year on earth".
Ye Shuqin stepped forward and looked at Zhang Lei: "Honey, all the food the country was short of before, you got it from here, right?"
Zhang Lei pointed to hundreds of billions of acres of farmland in the distance: "Yes, I used the flow of time to make the grain mature quickly and grow it in batches."
Ye Shuqin suddenly realized: "Then your time..."
Zhang Lei laughed and said, "I am the owner here, and I am not subject to time restrictions."
Everyone was envious.
Zhang Lei thought to himself: There's nothing I can do, I'm the master of this space.
Soon, Zhang Lei brought everyone back to the real world.
First, Ding Qiunan's family moved in, then Yang Maixiang's parents, then Yu Li and Yu Haitang's families, and He Wenhui and He Wenyuan's mother, Yu Qiuhua, also moved in with her younger siblings.
Su Meng and Guan Xiaoguan's families were relatively well-off, and Zhang Lei gave them a lot of money, so their families didn't come over.
The remaining rooms were all arranged for the children of Ye Shuqin's eldest, second, and third brothers.
At this point, all the rooms in the three courtyards, No. 89, No. 90, and No. 95, have been allocated.
Zhang Lei, along with his last three wives and children, went to Ye Family Village.
Soon, Zhang Lei and his group arrived at Yejia Village.
All his wives and children were settled in under the arrangement of his father-in-law, Ye Shouhe. Zhang Lei also stayed at the Ye family's house for a few days, not in a hurry to leave. After all, the three sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, hadn't had a chance to properly say goodbye to the Ye family.
Zhang Lei then led the children to wander and play around the village. As they walked, they suddenly saw an old man with white pupils.
Zhang Lei strode forward and said with a smile, "Blind Chen, is that you?"
Chen the Blind Man recognized Zhang Lei's voice and replied with a smile, "It's my young friend Zhang Lei."
Zhang Lei looked him up and down and smiled, "It's been so many years, and you're still so healthy."
Blind Chen chuckled. "Young friend Zhang Lei, you've become increasingly unfathomable these past few years. Would you like me to do another divination for you?"
Zhang Lei did as he was told and extended his hand.
The moment Chen the Blind Man's fingertips touched the object, he was startled, and his body trembled slightly.
Seeing his unusual reaction, Zhang Lei asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Blind Chen was filled with amazement, exclaiming repeatedly, "Strange! He has the countenance of an emperor! Young friend Zhang Lei's future is limitless; he truly has the countenance of a dragon."
Zhang Lei chuckled: "Hey Chen the Blind, what nonsense are you spouting? The countenance of an emperor? There are no feudal dynasties left these days."
Blind Chen simply shook his head, muttering, "Heavenly secrets cannot be spoken, they cannot be spoken."
Seeing his mysterious look, Zhang Lei didn't ask any more questions and said with a smile, "Alright, stop with the taboos. Here's your fortune-telling fee."
As he spoke, Zhang Lei took out several hundred yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen the Blind Man's hand.
"Stop being so superstitious all the time, eat more good food, live happily, and stop thinking about those unnecessary things."
As Chen the Blind held the money, he knew in his heart that Zhang Lei hadn't taken his words to heart.
But he didn't try to persuade him any further. In the end, some things you have to do on your own. What the future holds is up to Zhang Lei himself.
