Seeing Qin Nan busy in the kitchen, Bai Hao called over Xuan Yu and Teng Xue to inquire about the situation in the carpenter's room and the tailor's room. Xuan Yu and Teng Xue shook their heads, saying there was nothing strange about it.
Bai Hao was about to ask something else when his phone suddenly rang, so Xuan Yu and Teng Xue ran off to play in the front hall.
Bai Hao pressed the answer button, but before he could speak, Bai Muqiu's crying and begging voice came from the other end of the phone. Bai Hao took out his phone and glanced at the number. It was indeed Long Chengxiu's. Just as Bai Hao was about to hang up, Long Chengxiu's voice came through.
Long Chengxiu: "I forgot to mention last time that when I was with you, I seemed to sense the presence of an old friend, but it was too faint, and I'm not sure."
Bai Hao: "Are you old friends with the descendants of the Heavenly Maiden?"
Long Chengxiu: "A descendant of the Heavenly Maiden?"
Bai Hao: "Then who is this old friend you're talking about?"
Long Chengxiu: "Son of the Wood Emperor."
Bai Hao: "That one who stirred up chaos in the world and then vanished without a trace..."
Long Chengxiu: "I also find it hard to believe, but it must be his aura."
Bai Hao paused for a moment, then perhaps everything made sense now.
Qin Nan was still oblivious to her good fortune, happily preparing dinner. With the Lunar New Year just over two weeks away, Qin Nan had already begun planning to prepare some New Year's goods and cook more food.
On New Year's Eve, the old town was bustling with activity. In just two or three days, the old town will begin preparing many things for the New Year.
Qin Nan told Bai Hao about his idea, and he promptly contacted Murong Xue to take Pi Yuan away. Xuan Yu and Teng Xue also went to play with him out of curiosity.
With Pi Yuan around, business will never stop. There won't be time to rest before the New Year, so I can only entrust Pi Yuan to go out. Besides, Pi Sheng is there too, so nothing will happen.
Chi Wei and Tao Xiaolu originally wanted to go and play as well, but when they heard that Qin Nan was planning to prepare New Year's goods and food for the New Year, they decided to stay and help.
Qin Nan needed a car, but Bai Hao didn't have one, so Qin Nan thought about borrowing one. Then he thought of Uncle Li, and he suddenly remembered the time he went to the haunted building to rescue people, so he went to ask Bai Hao.
Bai Hao was stunned. To be honest, he had forgotten. It was originally planned, but after Qin Nan's accident, he completely forgot about it.
Chi Wei, who was getting dressed and ready to go out with Qin Nan, peeked out.
Chi Wei: "That person's soul was returned long ago."
Qin Nan turned to look at Chi Wei: "When?"
Chi Wei tilted his head and thought, while Tao Xiaolu swallowed the biscuit in his mouth and said, "When Brother Bai Hao went to save Brother Anan, Pi Xiaoyuan repaired his soul, and Xuan Yu and I secretly sent it back."
The next day they wanted to come back to thank us, but our house was closed, so they didn't come. They also sent a WeChat message to Qin Nan, but our phones were with us at the time, and after we finished playing games, we forgot to mention it.
Upon hearing this, Qin Nan opened his phone and, quite unusually, opened WeChat, as he rarely used it and didn't know many people on it.
As soon as Qin Nan opened WeChat, he saw many red dots. He glanced at them and saw that Uncle Li had thanked him, and there were also some group messages wishing him a Happy New Year. The only one that caught Qin Nan's attention was a message from his dormitory head, Luo Lin, at the end of December, but the content was strange.
Luo Lin: I've arrived, but I've suddenly forgotten how to get out!
Luo Lin: We can't get away, brother, wait for me!
Luo Lin: Who are you? I've forgotten a lot of things, but I must have trusted you completely when I left you that message!
Luo Lin: The only light is about to disappear.
There was no further news after that sentence. Qin Nan couldn't understand it, so he tried calling back using voice, but there was no answer for a long time. So he handed the phone to Bai Hao.
Qin Nan: "Did something happen to him?"
Bai Hao glanced at him, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "He's not dead, but he's trapped in one place and can't get out."
Qin Nan: "Where? Why does he say he doesn't remember?"
Bai Hao: "In a village, people's memories will fade, and the longer the time goes by, the more they forget."
Qin Nan: "What about him?"
Bai Hao: "This is his fate, it's the debt he owes."
Qin Nan: "What do you mean?"
Bai Hao: "Don't worry about it, he's not in any danger. He just needs to repay a debt from his past life."
Qin Nan: "But, but..."
Qin Nan wanted to ask more, but then noticed that Bai Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, which seemed to be the prelude to anger. Although he was genuinely concerned for his friend, he was afraid that Bai Hao wouldn't care about such things. So he swallowed the rest of his sentence and took Chi Wei and Tao Xiaolu out to borrow a car to buy New Year's goods.
Bai Hao watched Qin Nan leave, then opened his phone. Just then, he received messages from Pi Sheng and Zhou Miao. He glanced at them, his eyes darkening slightly, and replied to their messages.
Pi Sheng ignored the phone and sent a telepathic message to Bai Hao: "Tsk tsk, the last time I saw you scheming was five hundred years ago. I never thought I'd have the pleasure of witnessing it again!"
Bai Hao: [What? Want to give it a try?]
Pi Sheng: [Never mind what I said, but why did you give Xiao Yuan to Murong Xue? Couldn't you have sent her to me?]
Bai Hao: [You can just go pick me up yourself, why are you looking for me? I've already given you a ride.]
Pi Sheng: [I want to fight you again!]
Bai Hao: [Hmph, all brawn and no brains!]
Pi Sheng: [Damn! Bai Hao, did you get shot? Why is it so tense?]
Bai Hao: [No.]
Pi Sheng: [Oh, it can't be...]
Bai Hao directly blocked Pi Sheng, but before blocking him, he still heard Pi Sheng's unrestrained laughter, which Bai Hao silently noted down.
Qin Nan and the other two didn't come back at noon. Bai Hao was bored at home, munching on nuts while keeping an eye on the Helian family's movements and waiting for Qin Nan to return.
