"Little girl, if you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. I really know him, and he knows me too. If you don't believe me, just ask him."

"You don't look like a good person, and you're definitely not my brother's friend!" Gu Can refused to budge. Zhang Qiling raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder.

"It's okay. I know him."

"Really? Well, no matter what he says, you are my brother. Come home early. The four little ones still need you to feed them." Gu Can did not stop him anymore. What she thought was for his good might not be what he wanted.

She has never lost her memory and is loved by her parents. She may never be able to understand the feeling of being alone in the world, the feeling of having no past and no future.

So when Zhang Qiling chose his fate, she could not stop him and could not be blamed.

"Yeah." Zhang Qiling nodded.

"Hmph." Gu Can snorted coldly at the man with black glasses, turned around and walked into the courtyard.

"Hey, this little girl has a bad temper." The man with black glasses scolded him with a smile. Looking at Zhang Qiling, such a peaceful and comfortable life was not something people like them could have.

"I'll go." Zhang Qiling said only these four words and turned to go in.

Black Eyes had accepted Wu Sansheng's money and invited Zhang Qiling to the tomb. His main purpose was to test Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling didn't know who he was, had no past or future, and only knew he had a goal he had to accomplish. So, he needed to go to the tomb.

That night, at the dinner table, Zhang Qiling said nothing. He simply finished his meal and quietly packed his luggage. He had no intention of explaining his whereabouts.

"Brother." Gu Can called Zhang Qiling when he was about to get in the car.

Zhang Qiling looked back and saw Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju were also there.

"Although I don't know where you are going, this will always be your home. Here are some dry food I prepared. They are all your favorites. Take them with you." Ji Xiaoju handed over a package, which contained some long-lasting snacks.

"Take this and protect yourself when you go out. Safety is the most important thing." Gu Liang handed him a black bracelet.

"This is a weapon called Qiansi Rao. Just press here and it will shoot out an extremely thin silk thread. It is more than a kilometer long and can withstand a weight of one hundred tons. There is an extremely sharp black iron blade on the top. You can use it for self-defense and to pass security checks." Gu Can put it on Zhang Qiling directly.

"It's my turn, it's my turn." Gu Can pushed the two people apart.

"Brother, this small medicine box contains all the common medicines I prepared. Their functions are all written on them, and there is also this." Gu Can took out a red amulet bag with auspicious cloud patterns.

"This is the amulet I got from the temple. They say it's very effective. You must wear it close to your body. If you forget something, just open it and you'll be able to find your way home." Gu Can said.

Zhang Qiling took it and put it on, then left without looking back.

"Brother, call me when you have time. I will come to find you after graduation." Gu Can shouted.

"Alas, that tomb can't be a good place." Ji Xiaoju still felt a little sorry for the child.

"This is his fate. We can't understand his feelings. We just need to do our best to make his life better." Gu Liang comforted him.

"I know. Let's go. I don't know when we can see each other again." Ji Xiaoju was just a little emotional, but not to the point of being confused.

"Maybe soon, after all, he showed up four years ago. Wu Sansheng and the others might have to change their plans again," Gu Can added. With them here, things will definitely be different.

"They really treat you like family," said the man with black glasses. Zhang Qiling simply touched the bracelet on his hand, then touched the amulet, then picked up a piece of egg yolk pastry and ate it in two bites.

"Hey, well, give me a sip too." Black Glasses didn't care if he replied or not. He just leaned over and stretched out his hand to take it.

"Pa." Zhang Qiling slapped his hand away and held the whole package in his arms.

"Don't be so stingy." The man with black glasses waved his hands. The snack looked exquisite and smelled especially fragrant. It must be delicious.

Zhang Qiling walked towards his destiny, but it seemed a little different.

Gu Can: Brother, you've been gone for a week. Where have you been? Have you eaten well? Mom made tomato beef brisket today, and it's really delicious. Hehe, I'll ask her to make it again when you come back. I hope you've had a good meal with the red and yellow glutinous rice balls and wontons.

Ji Xiaoju: Xiao An, how are you doing recently? Is it cold where you're going? I forgot to prepare some thick clothes for you. I've transferred money to your card, remember to buy some.

Gu Liang: Xiao An, call me when it's convenient. I've transferred money to your card. Buy whatever you need. If it's not enough, tell me. A poor family is rich on the road. When you're out and about, don't skimp.

Zhang Qiling's phone was given to him by Gu Can, who taught him how to use it. He also saved the phone numbers of the three of them.

The family of three didn’t care whether Zhang Qiling replied to their messages or not. They would send him a message whenever they remembered, and on average they would send him at least one message every week.

Because Zhang Qiling has to go to the tomb, he rarely replies immediately, but he is a very serious person. As long as he sees the message, he will reply to it one by one.

Have a good meal.

not cold.

it is good.

Although the replies are simple, it’s great as long as you reply!

"Brother, you're back." Just before the Lunar New Year, Gu Liang received a call from his hometown, saying that his grandfather was dying and asking them to go back. Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju went back, leaving Gu Can behind in Hangzhou. Zhang Qiling had indeed returned.

"Yeah." Zhang Qiling nodded, then looked around, as if asking why she was alone.

"Grandpa pretended to be sick and wanted us to go back and rescue my uncle. How is that possible? That's a crime. Once we're in jail, we can't get out just like that. But mom and dad still decided to go back. I guessed you would come back, so I didn't go with you. Let's go in first. Mom and Dad should be back before the New Year." Gu Can went to take Zhang Qiling's bag, but Zhang Qiling dodged him and handed him a box.

This box is not small and looks quite retro and exquisite. It is obviously a high-end gift box.

Gu Can took it with a smile.

After putting the box in the living room, he pushed Zhang Qiling to wash up.

He is a quiet man who seldom speaks, and Gu Can and the others are used to it.

Zhang Qiling finished washing up, and Gu Can had already set the table. He was visibly softened. After dinner, he went to see the four little ones.

“······” Zhang Qiling looked at the four big chickens and where were his little chicks.

"Hahaha, this is Xiaohong, this is Xiaohuang, Tangyuan, and Wonton. I sent you the photos. Have you forgotten that chicks grow up very fast?" Gu Can looked at the confused Zhang Qiling and couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Qiling remembered that Gu Can sent him photos of the four little ones every week.

Even when grown up, it's still cute and looks delicious! Especially fat!

Sure enough, on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju came back.

"It's good that you're back. You've lost weight. Maybe you didn't eat well? This is not good. Your health is important." Well, Ji Xiaoju is really the same as all the mothers in the world at this moment. As long as the child comes back from going out, he will definitely be thinner.

However, Zhang Qiling did look thin, and his face was pale when he came back. Gu Can had been making pig liver soup for several days.

"Mom and Dad, come here quickly. Brother brought us gifts. I couldn't open them because I was waiting for you." Gu Can had been curious about the gift Zhang Qiling brought. He actually brought gifts!

"Really? Then I want to see what Xiao An brought back." Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju were also very surprised. They also knew something about Zhang Qiling.

He has no past, no future, and only a single purpose, moving forward alone. Before meeting Wu Xie, his life was free of worries. Disappearances were a common occurrence for him, and he never revealed where he came from or where he was going. It seems that he only gave Wu Xie the Ghost Seal, but has anyone else received any gifts from him?

The family of three couldn't wait to open it.

Inside the box lay three small palm-sized boxes, each containing a jade pendant.

Gu Can picked up one of them. On the back was engraved the word "Can" in small seal script, and on the front was a small animal with its head held high and chest puffed out.

"Is this Bai Ze?" Gu Can recognized him at a glance.

"If you have a Bai Ze map at home, demons will vanish." In ancient mythology, this highly respected beast symbolizes good fortune and can turn misfortune into good fortune, dispelling evil spirits. It can speak, conveying the spirit of all things.

"Brother, did you carve this?" Gu Can asked.

"Yeah." Zhang Qiling nodded.

"That's amazing! It's so beautiful! I love it." Gu Can immediately picked it up and put it on. The jade pendant wasn't large, only about three centimeters wide and four centimeters long. To carve it so lifelike clearly required considerable effort. Not to mention the finest imperial green jade, the craftsmanship alone is priceless. The most important thing is the thought.

Ji Xiaoju and Gu Liang’s are the same, with Bai Ze engraved on the front and the characters Liang and Ju in small seal script on the back.

"Our Xiao An is so amazing. It must have taken a lot of energy to make this. The material is not cheap either. He must have saved all his money, so he became thinner because of hunger. Take this card. The password is the day you come to our house. I will transfer money to the card from time to time in the future. Don't let yourself suffer when you go out." Ji Xiaoju's way of expressing love is to give money!

"I have it." Zhang Qiling said. This was not valuable to him. He just hoped that this family could turn the disaster into safety.

"You have it, it's yours. Just take it." Gu Liang put the card directly in Zhang Qiling's hand.

"That's right, brother, take it. If mom and dad deduct my pocket money, they will wait for you to help me. Mom and Dad, go and have a rest. I will make dinner tonight." Gu Can said with a smile.

Zhang Qiling accepted the card. If his sister ran out of money, it seemed he would be the one to support her. Would it be expensive to support a sister? For the first time, Zhang Qiling began to think about something other than that purpose.
