I deliver food in a bizarre world
Chapter 39 Thanks
"Grandma Liu? What brings you here? This is..." He was a little curious, this villa area wasn't exactly close!
It takes several minutes to get from Building F of Grandma Liu's house to Building B of his place on the electric scooter, so Chen Cen probably drove her there.
The villa area is too big, which isn't necessarily a good thing. The elderly lady usually rides a 28-inch bicycle when she goes out, but it's inconvenient too late, so she asks the property management to drive her here.
Grandma Liu smiled gratefully: "Oh! I came here especially to thank you!"
She took out a small cloth bag wrapped in a clean handkerchief from her bosom.
"Thanks to you last time, there haven't been any more scary noises at home, and I've been sleeping soundly these past few nights! I haven't been able to properly express my gratitude to you, and I've been feeling really bad about it ever since!"
"No, I specially asked Xiao Chen to bring me here today, just to give you a little something!"
"There's nothing of value in the house. This is something my husband used to find in the river... Sigh, he used to like picking up stones by the river. This is an old piece of jade he fished out of the river. He polished it himself. It's a bit ugly, but he said wearing it can ward off evil spirits and bring peace."
"I have no use for it; seeing it just makes me think about him... It's so annoying. I heard from Xiao Wang that you're often out and about, and I see you... know a lot about these things, so I'm giving it to you. Please don't dislike it!"
Chen Mo instinctively wanted to decline: "Grandma Liu, since this was left to you by your late husband, I can't accept it. I just helped out with a small matter..."
"What a small favor! It's a huge favor for our family!"
Grandma Liu's tone was firm as she firmly grasped Chen Mo's hand: "If you don't accept it, you're disrespecting my small token of appreciation! Take it! And these fruits and such are worthless, so please don't refuse!"
Chen Cen also chimed in, "Brother Chen, please accept it. You've done Grandma Liu a huge favor. If you don't accept it, she'll feel bad. The old lady doesn't want anything in return, she just wants peace of mind."
Grandma Liu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Xiao Chen is right. Just accept it. It's not like you can take the money with you!"
"Well... thank you, Grandma Liu."
Chen Mo couldn't refuse. Looking at Grandma Liu's sincere and stubborn eyes, and then at the things in Chen Cen's hands, he was slightly moved.
After seeing the two off, he finally looked at the things that Grandma Liu had brought.
The fruits and snacks are mostly things you can find in regular supermarkets, not particularly expensive, but with so many of them, it must cost at least a thousand...
He looked at the handkerchief in his hand, inside which was a flat piece of jade slightly larger than his thumb.
He had seen many fine pieces, and compared to them, the material of this jade was indeed only average.
The color is a warm bluish-white, and it is very roughly polished. The shape is a fish with its head and tail connected, with only two shallow pits at the eyes.
The jade pendant has a very smooth surface, as if it has been handled for a long time, and there is even some wear on the edges, giving it an air of age.
However, the moment Chen Mo's fingers touched the fish-shaped jade pendant, the almost overflowing spiritual energy within him fluctuated slightly, and its upper limit actually increased a little!
Chen Mo's heart stirred, and he immediately focused his mind, activated his spiritual eyes, and used his spirituality to sense the jade pendant in his hand.
This seemingly ordinary fish-shaped jade pendant actually contains a gentle and pure light blue spiritual energy inside!
The spiritual energy flowed slowly inside the jade pendant, just like living water!
Chen Mo took out his phone and looked at his panel information. In the Spirituality section, the progress had increased to 30%!
His hand trembled slightly as he silently glanced in the direction the two had gone.
Grandma Liu has brought us a wonderful gift!
After seeing off the two groups of people, Chen Mo sat in the living room for a while, not thinking about anything, just sitting there in a daze.
The news brought by the two security guards was extremely heavy, like a stone pressing on my heart.
Three vibrant young people have simply vanished...
And I might be the last person to have seen them.
The strange, dark red minibus, and its subsequent frantic pursuit, made it impossible for him to remain uninvolved.
He picked up his phone and dialed his grandfather's number. It rang several times before being answered, with the faint sound of bamboo strips rubbing together in the background.
"Moya, what's wrong?" Grandpa's voice was heavy.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask about your health."
Chen Mo exchanged pleasantries before getting to the point: "When you visited my home before, did you leave any trinkets behind? Like the little Pixiu by the door, and the little compass under my bedside table. If they need adjusting, how should I do it?"
Now that Zhao Tianyi is by his side, he needs to confirm whether the two old men's backup plan for pure souls is specifically targeted.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of bamboo strips breaking.
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. Oh, it's broken?
"Why are you suddenly asking this? Do you not want anything to come in, or do you feel uneasy in the house?"
"No, it's just... I've been doing a lot of night shifts lately, and I feel like my aura is a bit chaotic. I want to adjust it to put my mind at ease."
Chen Mo didn't mention Zhao Tianyi's matter, afraid that the old man would worry.
Grandpa hummed in agreement, seemingly deep in thought.
"Just make sure the Pixiu statue at the entrance faces outwards, don't touch it. It's used to ward off evil spirits and prevent things from entering through the main door. If there are cracks, it means the statue has failed, and nine times out of ten, something ominous is trying to enter your home."
"The small compass by your bedside is usually oriented slightly east. If it faces the door, it can prevent things from coming in. If it faces the window, it can purify the indoor energy field. If it faces the wall, it will not work."
"Also, find a bowl in the southeast corner of the living room, put some clean water in it, and change it every other day. This will clear the energy field. This is a feng shui arrangement that your friend set up. I don't know the specifics. It's only effective against negative energy. If you can avoid moving it, absolutely do not move it."
"Okay, I understand." Chen Mo wrote these down.
The simple adjustments Grandpa mentioned were mainly to purify the environment and keep evil thoughts at bay.
These things shouldn't have much of an impact on Zhao Tianyi, a spirit with no malicious intent; on the contrary, they might make him more comfortable.
"Mo Ya Zi," Grandpa's voice became more serious, "be more careful when you're out at night. There are some places you should avoid if you can. If something feels wrong, retreat. Don't be reckless."
"I understand, Grandpa, don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo followed his grandfather's instructions, adjusted the direction of the small compass by the bedside, and placed a bowl of water in the southeast corner of the room.
The southeast corner is a corner of the balcony, where he grows potted plants, which he usually waters.
After doing all that, he felt that the atmosphere in the room seemed to have become a little fresher.
He sensed Zhao Tianyi's condition. He had been sleeping in the Spirit-Nourishing Pot since he returned in the evening.
After thinking for a moment, he also put the paper figure carrying the child inside.
After confirming that everything was alright, he opened the fan group.
The group is a bit more lively at night, and people are usually online in the evenings.
During the day, there are usually only a few people who don't work, either they have special jobs that don't take weekends off, or they're just slacking off.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to ask anyway, hoping to find out some information.
After all, they were three living, breathing people.
Chen Heiquan: "Brothers, I need to ask you something."
Memories Fade Away: [Is Brother Mo here?]
Bad Guys: [Good evening, Brother Mo!]
Chen Heiquan: "A few nights ago, I was doing a delivery run late at night and I saw a rather strange minibus in the western suburbs. Does anyone remember it?"
Mo's number one lackey: [I remember, it was the time you were kicked out by the blast!]
He doesn't have many scandals, but this should count as one...
Chen Mo sent a confused look to the screen: "That's all you remember? Throw him out!"
