Chapter 42 Departure to Yushan
"It should be something very important. You should open it yourself." Jiang Siyi pushed the box in front of Gu Ming. Gu Ming said, "You are polite to me. Isn't it because there is dust on it?"
So, Gu Ming blew hard and blew the dust back to Jiang Siyi. If Jiang Siyi hadn't predicted Gu Ming's prediction and dodged to the side, she would probably be covered with dust now.
The box was not locked. There was only a simple pull-out buckle on the lid. After Gu Ming opened it, he thought there would be something great. At the very least, there should be a medal of honor or something. However, he didn't expect that there was only a small black object in the box. The length of the index finger could barely make out the outline of a sword.
"What is this?"
Both of them were confused. Gu Ming picked it up. It felt cold to the touch and looked a bit like a stone. He handed it to Jiang Siyi, but Jiang Siyi couldn't make out anything.
"It must be a very valuable thing to be placed in this box by your grandfather. You should keep it." Jiang Siyi returned it to Gu Ming.
Gu Ming looked at it and tried to inject spiritual power into it. He thought that there are such plots in many novels. A seemingly insignificant thing will become a rare treasure after injecting spiritual power.
But the fact proved that he might have thought too much. After the spiritual power was injected, the small sword did not react.
"It should be an ordinary object for playing." Gu Ming said self-deprecatingly, "If it is really a treasure, it will not appear in my house. After all, I have never heard of any great figures in the three generations of the old Gu family."
Although he said so, Gu Ming still put the small sword into his pocket. After returning to the room, he found a red rope to wrap it around his neck.
In fact, there is one thing Gu Ming did not tell Jiang Siyi, because this matter involves his identity as a time traveler.
When Gu Ming traveled through time, Jiuzhou Gu Ming's original consciousness had not completely dissipated. When the memories of the two merged, Jiuzhou Gu Ming left an obsession in Gu Ming's consciousness, that is, to find his missing parents.
Gu Ming's parents disappeared at the same time a year ago, without any signs, and after Gu Ming called the police, no news was found. The two seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth.
In the memories that Gu Ming got, although Jiuzhou Gu Ming's parents were ordinary people, they were very good to Gu Ming. Although their lives were not rich, they also tried their best to create a warm and loving growth environment for Gu Ming. He did not miss out on anything that other children had.
Jiuzhou Gu Ming simply did not understand why his parents who loved him so much would leave him alone and disappear from his life without a word. This was also his only regret, so it became an obsession in Gu Ming's consciousness.
In the past year, Gu Ming has always remembered this incident, but he came from a time travel and was unfamiliar with everything. Later, because he felt that it was too dangerous outside, he thought about hiding in the novice village first, so he never put this matter on the agenda.
But since it is an obsession, it will eventually be done in the future.
Although this small sword doesn't look special, Gu Ming thinks that what Jiang Siyi said is right. The fact that it was placed in such a special box by grandpa shows that it has an unusual meaning for the Gu family. He doesn't know now, but he can check it when he has the ability in the future, and maybe he will find clues.
Besides, it's not a burden to carry such a small object with him. At most, he can keep it as a souvenir.
The next morning, Gu Ming got up early, closed and locked the windows, and waited for Jiang Siyi to pack up, cut off the water, electricity and gas, and covered the few pieces of furniture with sheets, and then dragged the suitcase and left the house.
The two came to the station. Perhaps because it was cold, Jiang Siyi didn't wear stockings today, but a pair of black leather pants, and matched it with a stand-up collar coat. The perfect lines seemed to have an invisible and powerful aura. Wherever he went, people couldn't help but look back.
Gu Ming, wearing a black down jacket, faded jeans and sneakers, dragged a big box and walked beside him, looking like a little follower.
But Gu Ming always managed to block all the eyes around him, and walked aside with his head held high, looking brave and fearless. This confidence came from Wei Dafa's confession. He was the best player in Linjiang after all. If they really started fighting, even long legs would not be his opponent.
It was the same as the society in the previous life that only when the wallet was full could one stand up straight, but in the world of Jiuzhou, one more rule could be added: when the fist was hard, the back could also stand up straight.
The two bought first-class tickets. Originally, according to the travel expenses regulations, they could only reimburse the second-class seats, but Jiang Siyi said that she was not used to it, so she bought a first-class seat out of her own pocket, and also bought one for Gu Ming.
Before getting on the bus, Gu Ming called Wei Dafa, who was very impatient on the phone, disliked Gu Ming for disturbing his weekend sleep plan, and said that sleeping in was the most basic respect for the weekend.
As the train started, Gu Ming said goodbye to Linjiang County in his heart. As the scenery outside the window gradually blurred, Gu Ming's heart was more or less excited. No matter what, he finally walked out of the Novice Village.
The whole journey from Linjiang County to Yushan City is more than 600 kilometers, and it takes three hours to drive, including the stops in the middle.
After Jiang Siyi sat down, he put on an eye mask, obviously intending to sleep, but Gu Ming couldn't sleep. It was a bit shabby to say that this was the farthest he had ever traveled in his two lives.
He was excited and couldn't sleep, so Jiang Siyi couldn't sleep either.
Gu Ming said directly in her ear: "Jiang Siyi, stop sleeping and tell me what kind of place Yushan City is."
"Nothing special, just a small place." Jiang Siyi replied without thinking.
"Small place?" Gu Ming said, "Do you have any prejudice against Yushan?"
In Gu Ming's view, Yushan City is truly a big city. Its jurisdiction covers more than 20 counties, including Linjiang County, and six prefecture-level cities. In Gu Ming's previous life, it would have been just fine. The capital city of a very large province.
"No, it's because you haven't seen the world and have misunderstandings about big cities." Jiang Siyi said very honestly.
Gu Ming immediately felt that he was insulted.
"Very good, you succeeded in irritating me. I don't have any other skills, but don't even think about sleeping on this journey." Gu Ming thought to himself, and immediately executed it, pestering Jiang Siyi to chatter all the way, persisting even if there was no topic. Awkward chat.
"Next time you go out, you must not sit with him." Jiang Siyi made up his mind.
Three hours later, Jiang Siyi finally ended the most painful journey in her life.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the station, Gu Ming asked, "How do we leave?"
"I have someone to pick me up, you can figure it out yourself."
"Do you have the heart to leave me alone?"
"Be more confident and change it to a declarative sentence. I am very cruel."
While the two were bickering, a young man in a suit and leather shoes approached.
"Siyi, welcome back."
