Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 947 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 35

"They've already set their sights on it so quickly; I thought it would take at least several years."

It's normal for her whereabouts to be noticed, but the fact that someone is specifically assigned to keep an eye on her indicates a different level of importance attached to her.

"Host, they are just ordinary people with some skills."

"It's so cold that even the mice are too lazy to move. Let's go back to sleep."

Seeing that the people hadn't moved, Gu Wusi jumped onto Zhang Qiling's back after speaking.

Zhang Qiling almost threw her off balance due to her sudden movement.

But he managed to control her in the end and reached out to support her.

Thinking of the people following them, he frowned slightly: "Tomorrow, we'll go back."

She's twisted her ankle now, so we should send her back as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll go back to Beijing tomorrow." Gu Wusi had no objection; after a good night's sleep, her foot would gradually feel better.

I'll be fully recovered once I get to Beijing, so my family won't see this and won't let me travel far next time.

As for Ah Jin and Xing Chen, who were still waiting for her, she told them to go back on their own first.

On the train, Gu Wusi sat on the lower bunk and sprayed medicine on her ankle.

She planned to spray it more frequently so that getting out of the car and walking wouldn't look so abrupt.

The somewhat pungent smell of Yunnan Baiyao wafted through the carriage, and Zhang Qiling lay opposite him with his eyes closed.

The train has two-story sleeper berths, and Gu Wusi asked him to buy four tickets.

In other words, there were only the two of them in this sleeper car.

"Xiao Zhang, leave your contact information before you go. I promised to treat you to a meal."

Zhang Qiling has always refused this title.

He's a centenarian, yet a young girl in her early twenties calls him "Little Zhang."

But he wouldn't argue back; he would only resist with silence.

So Gu Wusi pretended not to see it, and as long as he didn't say anything, she wouldn't change her mind.

She called me that ever since I boarded the train, and she always used that term when she spoke.

What's wrong with her wanting him to say more?

Hehe, I firmly refuse to admit that I was just trying to tease people.

It's not like no one has ever called him that before, so why is he bothered by it now, or is it just that she calls him that?

Zhang Qiling opened his eyes and looked at her.

Gu Wusi pretended not to understand and held out his hand: "Where's your phone? Give it to me so I can leave my contact information."

"Change to another one." He finally said it.

"Change to what?"

"call."

"Isn't 'Xiao Zhang' a good name? It makes you sound so young, and people will think you're younger than me."

I always felt that her words were implied, as if she knew my age.

Zhang Qiling realized that he had never mentioned the matter of guarding the gate, but she knew it.

And then there were the strange things she did while searching for clues about her past inside the bronze door.

But after spending time with her, I didn't sense that she had any ulterior motives.

Most of the time, they just eat and drink, or play games, and they even helped me out.

Unable to figure it out, Zhang Qiling decided to put it aside for now and see how things went.

As for the matter of address, he lowered the brim of his hat, still unable to bring himself to argue.

Gu Wusi laughed when she saw his expression.

"At worst, I'll just stop calling you that when there are other people around. Give me your phone."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling could only reluctantly accept it, and he took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to her.

Gu Wusi took his phone, dialed his own number, and only hung up after seeing his own phone ring.

Then, he edited a note for himself on his phone and saved the contact.

"Here you go. Answer my call."

Zhang Qiling took the phone and glanced at it.

My gaze lingered on that note for two seconds.

Gu Wusi's train journey was no different from any other.

It's still the same routine: sleeping, eating, going to the toilet, and playing on my phone.

After getting off the train and exiting the station, Gu Wusi got into the car that had come to pick her up.

After she got into the car, Zhang Qiling disappeared.

I originally intended to see him off, but he left quickly, which is typical of Zhang Qiling.

Back at the Gu family home, Gu Wusi stood on the ground, his feet showing no signs of injury whatsoever.

"Auntie, you're finally back! Everyone's been waiting for you at home."

As soon as he entered, Gu Yunxiao came to inform him.

"Hold me a homecoming ceremony?" Gu Wusi raised an eyebrow and joked.

“What? Judging from the way Grandpa, Grandma, and my parents are acting, they’re waiting to interrogate you. You were gone for more than a month and then went missing for half a month. Everyone was very worried.”

"Oh, I see."

"Auntie, why aren't you nervous? I get extremely nervous every time I do something wrong and come home."

"What's there to be afraid of? I've always escaped unscathed."

"That's true. No one in the family can bear to punish you, Auntie. At most, they'll keep you locked up at home for a few days."

As soon as the two entered the hall, they saw that everyone was sitting inside.

Gu Wusi felt that everyone's eyes were sweeping over her, scrutinizing her from head to toe.

Gu Yunxiao had already slipped away to sit down, refusing to share everyone's stares with her.

"So you know how to come back?" That's Gu Wufeng's speaking style.

Next came the old lady's concerned question: "My dear, how was your trip?"

"Hmph, it's good that you're alright." This was Old Man Gu's arrogant tone.

"It's good that Wusi is alright. Did you have a good time on your trip?" Sister-in-law Gu asked with a gentle smile.

Gu Yunchuan and Gu Yunxiao, on the other hand, watched the show from the sidelines.

In this atmosphere, Gu Wusi, adhering to the original owner's style, could easily handle it: "Mom and Dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law, I'm hungry."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu quickly said, "If you're hungry, then let's eat first."

Sister-in-law Gu chimed in, "Yes, Wusi just got back. It's almost dinnertime, so let her eat first."

Although Grandpa Gu and Gu Wufeng didn't speak, their expressions were much more relaxed, and they seemed to have no objections.

Everyone moved to the restaurant, with Gu Yunxiao at the back giving Gu Wusi a thumbs up.

"Auntie, you're really something. You can manipulate everyone with ease."

"of course."

Gu Yunchuan, who was in front, heard the two talking and turned around with a smile: "Keep your voices down."

"Hehehe, let's eat." Gu Yunxiao walked with Gu Wusi's arm in hers.

Nothing happened before the meal, and no one said anything at the table. The afternoon was also uneventful.

But after dinner, Gu Wusi was still called into the study by Gu Wufeng to talk.

"Brother, what do you want from me?"

"When did you find out about your background?" Gu Wufeng went straight to the point.

He was already twenty years old when his younger sister was adopted by his parents, so he knew that she was not related to him by blood.

Although he was the older brother, sometimes he treated Gu Wusi like his own daughter, having watched her grow up.

Gu Wusi thought that when he went to the welfare home to see the director, he hadn't made any special effort to conceal his whereabouts.

It's not surprising that my family would find out.

"It hasn't been long," she said with a smile, pulling out a chair, sitting down.
