Mu Wuchen stared at the second hand of the quartz clock for three or four times before he said, "Tell me about the clock."

"What's there to say about a clock?" Gu Xiaoyou said without interest.

Hearing this, Mu Wuchen did not speak, but stared at Gu Xiaoyou with his deep eyes. There was no emotion in the black pupils, but the air pressure in the lobby inexplicably dropped.

Gu Xiaoyou suddenly felt a little cold. She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and said under pressure: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you."

Putting the phone on the table, Gu Xiaoyou moved his chair and sat next to Mu Wuchen: "I will only speak once, it's your problem whether you understand or not."

"Well, you tell me." Mu Wuchen said expressionlessly, his eyes on the quartz clock.

Since she wanted to talk, Gu Xiaoyou didn't want to be fooled. She picked up a toothpick as a teaching stick and tapped on the quartz clock: "The clock is divided into twelve equal parts, which is the same as the twelve hours on the sundial.

But the difference is that a number on the clock represents an hour, which is half an hour."

Mu Wuchen nodded, indicating that he understood.

"And the dotted lines inside represent minutes. There are sixty minutes in half an hour." Gu Xiaoyou clicked on the gray dotted line: "And every five minutes is marked with a black line."

"So the black line represents two meanings, the hours and minutes in your mouth." Mu Wuchen said thoughtfully.

"Smart, but the black line represents three meanings, and it also represents seconds." Gu Xiaoyou praised, meeting smart students is different.

"Seconds?" Mu Wuchen repeated subconsciously, why is the clock in this girl's hometown so strange? Hours and minutes alone are not enough, so what seconds are there?

"Seconds are the thread that keeps moving. It took me two seconds to say this just now." Gu Xiaoyou explained, pointing to the second hand.

"Interesting." Mu Wuchen raised his eyebrows. The way of counting hours, minutes and seconds was really strange.

"It's just interesting to watch. Learning to read a clock is not easy. There is a special class in my hometown to teach how to read a watch." Gu Xiaoyou said with concern.

I remember when she learned to read an electronic watch, she couldn't learn to read the clock in the textbook.

Later, it was her father who tutored her privately, and she finally learned how to recognize a watch.

At that time, she learned to read watches and even replaced the cartoon electronic watch on her hand with a wrist watch.

However, it was not new for a long time. Mobile phones have become popular. In addition to clocks hanging in classrooms, almost no one carries a watch on the street.

Mu Wuchen became interested, interrupted Gu Xiaoyou's memories, and said, "Teach me how to recognize a watch."

"Okay." Perhaps thinking of his father, Gu Xiaoyou was more interested in giving lectures.

After thinking about the previous steps of learning to read a watch, Gu Xiaoyou said: "To read a watch, you must first know the numbers. If you don't have paper and pen, I will teach you by looking at the dial first."

"Okay." Mu Wuchen responded, his eyes following the toothpick.

"The number is one. You can imagine it as an upright stick. The number coming down is two. Two is a bit like a big white goose. Three is half an ear... This is six..."

Gu Xiaoyou was speaking vividly when a knock came from the door, interrupting her lecture.

Just as he was getting into the topic, he was suddenly interrupted, and Gu Xiaoyou asked angrily: "Who is it?"

"Xiaoyou, it's me, the shop is closed, we should go back home." Mrs. Zhou's voice sounded at the door.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at the clock: "It's already half past eight. I even forgot about going home."

Eight thirty... Mu Wuchen's ears twitched. What he heard matched the clock, and he had a vague idea in his mind.

"Sister Zhou, go to the carriage and wait for me. I'll be back in a moment." Gu Xiaoyou replied.

"Okay." Sister Zhou responded outside the door and walked out of the door.

Gu Xiaoyou turned to Mu Wuchen and said, "The time is up. Next time I will teach you how to read a watch. You first memorize numbers one to six. As many as you can remember."

With that said, Gu Xiaoyou turned off the phone screen and put it back into her purse.

"Okay, let's go."

"Well, let's go." Mu Wuchen stood up, still recalling the clock he saw in his mind.

Gu Xiaoyou hung up her purse, picked up the candlestick on the table, and walked to the door with Mu Wuchen.

Pushing open the door of the shop, Gu Xiaoyou blew out the candle and raised the candlestick in front of Mu Wuchen: "Mr. Mu, please bring the candlestick to the table."

Mu Wuchen chuckled and raised his hand. Gu Xiaoyou felt that the candlestick in his hand was suddenly pulled away. When he saw the candlestick again, it was already standing obediently on the table.

"It's amazing." Gu Xiaoyou raised his thumb and praised, he was really impressed every time he saw it.

It's a pity that she missed the age of practicing martial arts. It would have been better if she had known she would be struck by lightning earlier. What else is she doing? It would be so cool to become a heroine.

It's a pity that it can only be a martial arts dream.

Gu Xiaoyou thought regretfully and locked the store door.

Turning around and looking at the empty street, Gu Xiaoyou asked with concern: "Your carriage didn't come, how are you going back? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"No need, I have my own way." Old God Mu Wuchen said calmly, "I'll take you to the street."

Since he has a way, Gu Xiaoyou doesn't worry anymore: "Well, okay."

The two people walked forward slowly, and soon reached the intersection of the street.

"Just send it here, I can just get on the carriage myself." Gu Xiaoyou stood not far from the carriage and said to Mu Wuchen.

"I watched you get in the car." Mu Wuchen said calmly.

Gu Xiaoyou nodded and walked towards the carriage. After walking a few steps, he looked back at Mu Wuchen, walked to the front of the carriage and waved to him: "I'm leaving, remember to come and taste the food."

"Yeah." Mu Wuchen nodded slightly and watched as Gu Xiaoyou lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.

The driver on the carriage bowed respectfully to Mu Wuchen, then waved his whip and drove the carriage away.

It wasn't until Gu Xiaoyou's carriage drove away from Anyang Street in Lutan that Mu Wuchen looked back and clapped his hands.

Following his movements, several figures immediately walked out of the darkness. Among the figures was Meng Yu, whom Gu Xiaoyou recognized. When they appeared, they knelt down to Mu Wuchen and said, "I have met the master."

"Bring my horse here."

"Yes." Meng Yu responded, immediately went to do it, and soon came back with a tall horse.

Mu Wuchen took the reins and climbed onto the horse with a graceful gesture. Several figures also quickly led out a few horses and followed suit.

"Drive!" Mu Wuchen raised his whip and slapped the horse. The horse raised its front hooves, neighed, and started running quickly.

The followers also raised their whips and ran after Mu Wuchen.
