Chapter 51: The Changed Room

*Whoosh!!! *

In the silent living room, Seeing Chu Tianshu suddenly appeared, disturbing a stream of air.

The thin dust on the nearby sofa and tabletop was all blown up a little.

Outside the window, the sunlight was bright, clearly illuminating the drifting of thousands of dust particles in the air.

"Back!"

Seeing Chu Tianshu returned to his most familiar home, his whole body relaxed, and he wanted to sit down, but noticing the dust, he had to move two steps away first.

He had been away for two months, so it was normal for dust to accumulate in the house.

He immediately summoned the token.

The Qi Number bar hadn't been completely cleared, and a little bit remained.

Seeing Chu Tianshu placed the gold bars in his hand on the table, ten of them, not one missing.

Two days ago, he seized the last bit of time to memorize the two secret manuals.

Just saying that carrying tangible and substantial things required estimating value, then leaving the secret manuals there, obviously could save a sum.

Thus, when he returned, not only did he bring back ten gold bars, but he also brought back the iron-incantation copper ropes on his hands and the golden soft armor on his body.

Now it seemed that he could have brought a little more.

Seeing Chu Tianshu focused his intention and touched the Qi Number bar again, unfolding a new page.

Apart from those previous annotations, now this small page also had an extra logo.

It looked like a curled-up divine dragon, and also like a leaf with particularly prominent vein textures, bent into a ring shape.

A cognition naturally emerged in his mind.

This was the logo of the Republic of China world, currently grayed out and unable to re-enter, but it could be lit up again in the future if certain conditions were met.

"Sure enough, there's a chance to go back!"

Seeing Chu Tianshu settled his mind.

Although he had guessed it before, he hadn't been sure, but now he felt a bit more confident.

But to want to light it up again, it seemed it didn't rely solely on Qi Number, and he didn't know what conditions were needed.

While Seeing Chu Tianshu was pondering, his fingernails tapped on the gold bars, hearing the crisp sound, and his gaze couldn't help but turn to them.

Selling gold bars directly would definitely be a bit troublesome; they could be molded into the shape of bracelets later.

In the future, if he needed to exchange for cash, he would just say they were handed down from his ancestors.

"Eh, I don't need to buy medicine every month now, so just with the card Mr. Li gave me last time, I'm quite well-off..."

Seeing Chu Tianshu looked at the ten gold bars, and another matter came to his mind.

Gold, just keep it at home; it looked quite comfortable, and when he had time, he would knock out some good-looking shapes.

Seeing Chu Tianshu was in high spirits, sent the gold to the cabinet in his bedroom, pulled open all the windows, and then went downstairs to open the front and back doors for ventilation.

In front of his house was a cement field, with vegetable plots on both sides, and a bridge over flowing water ahead.

As soon as he opened the door, someone shouted from outside the bridge.

"Tianshu?"

The man was wearing a blue cloth Zhongshan suit, a duck-billed cap of the same color, his beard and eyebrows were white, his figure quite tall, and he walked over, both surprised and happy.

Seeing Chu Tianshu greeted: "Second Grandfather."

This was his grandfather's brother, living at the end of the village, and was one of the few who had stepped into the threshold of spirit communication under his grandfather's guidance.

However, although he successfully communicated with spirits, he was sleepy every time he heard about medicinal herbs and couldn't learn the witch doctor's skills. He went out to explore, and somehow, he actually learned a set of feng shui skills, becoming quite famous in certain circles.

"It really is you, where did you go?"

As soon as Chu Second Grandfather came up, he grabbed Seeing Chu Tianshu's shoulders and looked him up and down, fearing he might be injured anywhere.

"It's been a month, where on earth did you go? You didn't tell anyone, and you left your phone at home, making me worried to death, so I reported a missing person case."

"Baishui also came to check, but there were no clues."

Seeing Chu Tianshu was stunned.

Wait, a month!

Is the time flow of the two worlds different? Over there, two months had already passed.

Wait again, a missing person case?!

"I..."

Seeing Chu Tianshu's brain turned rapidly, and he made a decision, "I discovered a strange fish in the harbor that day, very much like the Henggong fish of the Spirit Realm."

"It is said that boiling it with black plum will kill it, and eating it can dispel evil spirits, which is just right for treating the root of my illness."

"Second Grandfather, you also know how difficult my illness is to handle. At that time, my head was hot, I directly used a silver needle, then cast a spell to locate it, called a taxi, and chased from Hailing all the way to Jiangning, running into the mountains."

Jiangning County was about the same as Hailing, separated by a two-hour drive, but the terrain was completely different.

In one county, there were over four hundred large and small mountain peaks.

"I have been tracking in the mountains these days, and hard work pays off; I finally caught that fish."

Seeing Chu Tianshu revealed a sincere smile, "My illness is no longer a big problem now."

Chu Second Grandfather was surprised: "So that's how it is."

"I also heard Baishui say that now all kinds of overflow areas are frequent, and the Spirit Realm is more likely to come to reality besides ghosts and monsters."

Chu Second Grandfather laughed, "It seems this is not all bad news; is your illness really better?"

Seeing Chu Tianshu said: "Not completely better, but much better. By the way, how did the missing person case go?"

"I walk outside the river every day, and I haven't met you for several days. I asked the neighbors and they said they hadn't seen you, you didn't answer the phone, I went to your house to knock on the door, and found you weren't there, and the house was full of dust."

Chu Second Grandfather sighed deeply.

He almost thought Seeing Chu Tianshu had a relapse and died at home.

"I had no choice but to report the matter to the security station, and told Baishui."

Seeing Chu Tianshu suddenly thought: "I seem to have left my phone on the table before I left; it wouldn't have been taken to the station, would it?"

Chu Second Grandfather said: "There were no other clues, so of course we had to look at your recent contacts, but they went around and only took one phone, and the station chief is your Lin Grandfather, he took it himself."

While speaking, Chu Second Grandfather took out his phone.

"I'll call him and cancel the case, so I can get your phone back."

Lin Suozhang had dealt with his grandfather.

It is said that if you count carefully, Station Chief Lin and brother Baishui can still be considered relatives.

It's like this in the countryside; people who have lived in the same place for generations can basically be considered to have some blood relationship.

But relatives and elders are more troublesome, and Seeing Chu Tianshu had an extra sense of vigilance in his heart.

Fortunately, before he left, his original phone broke down, and he bought a new one, which only had messages contacting brother Baishui. Otherwise, if there was always some privacy on the phone, exposing it in front of relatives and elders...

Before the Qi Number bar is full next time and he goes to another world, he must remember to handle it.

Seeing Chu Tianshu was thinking about these things, coughed lightly, and his gaze unintentionally looked at his house.

Grandfather's bedroom was in the southeast corner of the first floor.

Since grandfather left, he often went to that room to pull open the curtains and let in the sunlight.

Before he left last time, the curtains weren't closed, and now standing outside, he could see the scene in the room.

Just looking at it, Seeing Chu Tianshu's brow furrowed.

"Second Grandfather, did you enter my grandfather's room?"

Chu Second Grandfather was on the phone: "No, standing outside the window, I could see there was no one in there, why would I go in?"

He walked over two steps, alert: "Is there something wrong?"

"Old Lin, you brought people over that day, I remember you didn't enter Old Chu's room, right?"

The voice on the phone also replied: "Definitely not."

Lin Suozhang's voice was very rough, full of energy.

"What's the matter, did you encounter a burglar?"
