Chapter 29 The Academicians Who Love to Listen to Stories
As Gu Xinyan spoke, she took off the spatial ring she was wearing and placed it on the table next to her, since she would need to stay in this room for a few more days.
When she set off, it was mentioned that although 011 said the system would filter out all germs from the other world, she would still need to be quarantined for a few days just in case. After all, the current facilities are not very perfect, so it's always better to be cautious.
"A newbie gift pack? An unlimited backpack? Gu girl, does that mean we can bring even more things next time? What did you bring back this time?"
Looking at the spatial ring on the table through the glass door, Commander Zhang couldn't help but marvel. If this advanced technology could carry so many things, wouldn't this infinite backpack be able to carry even more?
However, he had no time to think about these things at the moment, because Gu Xinyan inside the room took out everything from her spatial ring.
"I brought back quite a few things this time, including silk from the Western Regions, various porcelains, tea, and some books that I also exchanged. I also brought back some pastries from the Tang Dynasty, and they're all here."
As Gu Xinyan spoke, she took out the items from her spatial ring and showed them to the others. In no time, the small room was filled with these items.
She carefully placed several boxes of pastries on the table. These boxes were specially prepared for her by General Guo. She kept one box in her personal backpack, and the other three boxes were for Commander Zhang and the others.
Hearing her words, the people outside were quite excited, with Academician Li and two others being the most excited, pressing their faces against the glass door.
His face was distorted by the glass door, but he refused to move an inch. In his heart, he screamed, "These are all antiques, and they're still fresh and hot!"
It's just that we can't show it now, otherwise it would definitely cause a huge sensation. But it's perfect for them to study! I'm so excited just thinking about it!
"Good, good! Gu girl, you did a great job. You've done a great job this time. These things are very helpful for the study of Tang Dynasty history. Don't worry, we will take good care of them."
Academician Li spoke excitedly, saying that although he was not an expert in history, he did have a genuine passion for it.
Those old fogies at the cultural relics research institute wouldn't let him touch anything when he went to see a newly unearthed treasure; they treated it like a precious gem.
Hmph! No need to envy them now, we have a whole bunch of them here, they'll be begging to come to us!
Commander Zhang couldn't help but chuckle as he listened to Academician Li's voice. This old man just loved to compete with those academicians from the Institute of Cultural Relics.
"That's good, they'll probably start showing off as soon as they get out of here." Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly, then looked at Gu Xinyan inside the house and said:
"Gu girl, you've worked hard. Once your quarantine is over, we can head to the new base. During the month you were gone, we finalized the new location."
It's located in your hometown of Anshi, but on an island. That island is a base for the Chinese Navy. We decided to go there because it's close to your hometown.
Your grandma misses home and doesn't want to come to Beijing. She's still waiting for you to come back in Anshi. As soon as you finish your quarantine here, we'll set off!
Hearing Commander Zhang's words, Gu Xinyan couldn't help but be a little surprised. She hadn't expected that the new base would be on an island.
However, although her hometown village is indeed close to the sea, she moved to the town with her parents when she was young and rarely went back to the village, only during the winter and summer vacations each year.
Unexpectedly, I'll be going back to settle down there... no! I mean, on an island. What a novel place! Gu Xinyan was quite excited, and thinking this, she quickly replied:
"Yes, Commander Zhang, I'll do whatever you say. How are my grandma and brother?"
"Everything is fine. We've sent people over to your home, so don't worry, everything is alright! Your grandma is waiting for you to come back to the village!" Commander Zhang said truthfully.
Gu Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Commander Zhang's reply. These two were her only relatives in the world. She had disappeared for a month, but fortunately, the organization had made arrangements; otherwise, her grandmother would have been extremely worried.
Knowing that everything was alright at home, she felt relieved. She had no problem with living on the island. Whether her grandmother wanted to go to the island with her or stay in the village was fine with her, since it was close by and she could just go back to visit often.
"Alright, that's all for now. You should get some rest! We'll talk more after your quarantine is over!" Commander Zhang said with a smile, then pulled the three reluctant Academician Li and his companions away.
"have a good rest!"
After seeing the group leave, Lu Yunting said something to Gu Xinyan inside the house, and then followed them away.
In an instant, the once bustling place fell silent. Gu Xinyan watched the departing people and couldn't help but smack her lips.
This man looks really stylish, but he's so cold! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shiver.
No, wait! Not only is it cold, but they're also very fierce when training people!!
**
The quarantine period ended quickly, lasting only five days. During these five days, Gu Xinyan lived a truly retirement life, spending her days either eating, watching dramas, or telling Academician Li and the other two about the Tang Dynasty.
But it was fine if they talked once or twice, but the three of them, including Academician Li, just couldn't get enough of it. They came every day, and sometimes they would come again in the evening after coming in the morning, which left Gu Xinyan speechless.
I originally wanted to give up and stop talking, but when I met three pairs of pleading eyes, I had no choice but to give in. Fortunately, I made it through the quarantine period.
Gu Xinyan threw all her things into her spatial backpack and ran to the side of the helicopter.
Seeing her hurried and flustered appearance amused Commander Zhang immensely.
Although he had been busy these past few days, he knew what the three old men, Lao Li and Lao Li, were doing every day and had even spoken to them about it. But the three old men were just stubborn, so in the end he gave up on them.
Seeing Gu Xinyan running towards him as if she were being chased by a ghost, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. Even Lu Yunting, who usually had no expression, couldn't help but smile.
"Quickly, Commander Zhang, let's go!"
Gu Xinyan urged anxiously, and quickly boarded the plane herself, finding a seat to sit down.
This is really getting a bit urgent. Not only is he anxious to go home, but he's also been kept on the verge of going bald by Academician Li and the other two telling him stories.
