After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

The city seemed to be in chaos all of a sudden.

First, the owner of the pear soup shop in Qianshan Hutong who had finally returned was suddenly killed in the street. Zhu Can could no longer drink the man's unique delicacy. The young master was melancholy and couldn't bear it, so he sent someone to send some money to the man's mother.

More than half a month later, somehow Mrs. Zhu found out about this little thing. Mrs. Zhu, who had never been involved in domestic affairs, scolded him, leaving Zhu Can confused.

A few days later, some of the servants in the villa disappeared, and the young man who used to mow the lawn in the yard also disappeared. At the same time, several of Young Master Zhu's watches were also missing.

Dada has been unlucky in love recently. Apart from going to see his children, he hardly goes out anymore. When he found that his watch was missing, he was angry and wanted to chase the person, but was stopped by Zhu Can.

There are fewer people doing small business in the streets, and most people walking outside are in a hurry. Some of them have no way to carry out their necessary livelihoods on time. Places like theaters have been ordered not to allow banquets and entertainment during this special period.

Mrs. Zhu has been bored recently and finally couldn't stay at home anymore. She went somewhere unknown. Mr. Zhu came home twice and unexpectedly said something to Zhu Can, asking him not to go out and cause trouble.

Zhu Can felt his stomach churning with each passing day. Dada, despite being furious about the theft, remained composed and unconcerned about the news of Marshal Zhang and Marshal Wang's incoming troops. A few children from the dock, along with Nabu, had gone out to sea two days ago with their older brother from a familiar shipping company. They said they wanted to broaden their horizons and wouldn't be back for two weeks. Since then, Dada hadn't left the house, her only worry about her older brother, Yi.

Zhu Can felt that he didn't know what to do if he stayed here any longer. If he was asked to do something to change this prickly state, he didn't know where to start.

On this day, Zhu Can was with Dada at home sorting out the jeweled cufflinks he had accumulated. Wang Cheng sent someone to pick them up, but was sent away by Dada. After a while, someone else came to report that he had a message for Young Master Zhu.

Dada was about to chase him away again when Zhu Can suddenly stood up, kicked off his slippers, and walked to the door. A dusty man he had never seen before approached cautiously, claiming to be sent by Doctor Xi. He said, "The situation is tense, and I told Young Master Zhu not to run around."

The messenger left, and Zhu Can walked back to the bedroom step by step. Dada followed behind and scratched his head. He didn't pay attention and the young master ran back. When Dada caught up with him, Zhu Can had hurriedly changed his clothes and came out again.

"Master, where are you going?"

Zhu Can patted Dada's shoulder and said, "You are familiar with the rest of the people in the courtyard. Take good care of the house with Uncle Lin and don't let any strangers in. I can only feel at ease with you around. If the master and his wife ask, just say I went to visit Wang Cheng."

Dada was a little anxious: "Master, where are you going?"

Zhu Can smiled and said, "Go to the hospital and find Xi Zhenghe."

Dada's eyes widened. "Looking for Doctor Xi? At this time?"

Zhu Can said, "It doesn't matter what time it is. If your big brother Yi was there, you would go there without caring about anything."

Dada suddenly understood what it meant and screamed "Ah". Zhu Can hugged her and without waiting for anyone to react, turned around and ran away like a gust of wind.

It was only after leaving the villa complex that Zhu Can truly felt the change in atmosphere. It was as if the gradually chilling wind was poisonous. Everyone walked hurriedly, their heads bowed, their hats pulled down. The occasional glance at each other bore a strange, bewildered expression.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance. Seeing that passers-by were hiding in the alleys, Zhu Can quickly found a crack and crawled in. Fortunately, he was thin and did not attract any attention. He only heard bursts of noise from the opposite side of the alley, and then the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.

Zhu Can's heart was beating in his throat. His body, which had been chilled by the wind, was now feeling dry. His arms were actually feeling a little wet and hot, but Zhu Can couldn't explain why. His chest still felt empty.

Zhu Can hid as he walked, not knowing what he was hiding. Normally, his identity as Young Master Zhu allowed him to spend money lavishly wherever he went, but this time he subconsciously thought it would be best not to be too ostentatious, and to be as secretive as possible.

The hospital was still open as usual. Zhu Can, wearing a prepared cotton mask, walked past the patients who were suffering, and sneaked into Xi Zhenghe's office like a thief.

During this special period, some people with minor illnesses would avoid coming if they could. Most of the people in the hospital were already unable to walk due to illnesses. Zhu Can didn't want to pay too much attention to himself, so he only found a piece of bloody gauze on his feet after entering the office.

The office door was not locked and there was no one inside. Zhu Can tore off the gauze with two fingers, held it far away from himself, and stuffed it into the small trash can under the table.
