Lin Qing carefully picked up the new jade pendant, and he could feel the powerful energy contained within it.
"Brother Nanxun, this jade pendant is only stronger; it doesn't seem to have any other special features!"
Lin Qing held the jade pendant in her hand and examined it repeatedly, but she still couldn't figure it out.
Gu Nanxun reached out and took the jade pendant from Lin Qing's hand, examining it carefully. Suddenly, the jade pendant flew directly from Gu Nanxun's hand and quickly entered Gu Nanxun's mind.
Lin Qing's eyes widened in surprise. She grabbed Gu Nanxun's arm tightly and asked anxiously, "Brother Nanxun, are you alright?"
Gu Nanxun did not answer. He closed his eyes as if sensing something. Seeing this, Lin Qing dared not ask anything more, afraid of disturbing Gu Nanxun. However, she kept her eyes fixed on Gu Nanxun without blinking, in case he was in danger.
After a long while, Gu Nanxun slowly opened his eyes.
Lin Qing asked impatiently, "How are you, Brother Nanxun? Are you alright?"
Gu Nanxun shook his head. "I'm fine, it's just that the jade pendant has become attached to its owner."
Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "It's good that you're alright. You scared me to death! But how could it recognize its owner? Wasn't it said to be the key to the treasure?"
Gu Nanxun pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "According to legend, this jade pendant is the key to unlocking an ancient treasure. It is said that this treasure was hidden by an ancient sage, and it contains not only endless wealth but also the power to change the world. Moreover, this treasure can only be opened by the sage's descendants. The jade pendant is indeed the key, but only descendants with the sage's bloodline can make the jade pendant recognize them as their master. Otherwise, even if one obtains the jade pendant and manages to merge the four pieces together, one will still not be able to discover its secret."
Lin Qing's eyes gleamed with curiosity and excitement: "So, Brother Nanxun, are you a descendant of that wise man? How can we find this treasure?"
Gu Nanxun shook his head. "I don't know, but I think that's it, otherwise the jade pendant wouldn't have recognized me as its master."
After saying that, Gu Nanxun took out a tattered map from his mind, marked with some ancient symbols and routes: "This is the map of the treasure. Now that we have this jade pendant, all we need to do is find where the treasure is."
The two then began to study the map carefully, trying to find the exact location of the treasure.
As time went on, they deduced that the treasure might be hidden in an ancient ruin. And this ruin was very likely located in the uninhabited area of Tibet.
"Let's ask the Book of Answers!" Lin Qing suggested with a smile.
Gu Nanxun nodded, then took out the Book of Answers.
"Book of Answers, where is the treasure located on the map?"
The Book of Answers flickered with light, and the words on it appeared and disappeared repeatedly. After a long while, a sentence finally emerged: "Insufficient permissions!"
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun exchanged a glance. Lin Qing shrugged. It seems we'll just have to look for it slowly in the future.
From that day on, whenever Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun had free time, they would carry the jade pendant and map, and drive their hovercar to the vicinity of Tibet to search for treasure.
They traversed dense jungles and climbed treacherous peaks, but still could not find the location marked on the map.
Gradually, as time went by, the two became less obsessed with the treasure and gradually returned to their normal lives, only occasionally driving their hovercars to search for it when they had free time.
The snow in Chaoyang Brigade has completely melted, and the ice in the river has disappeared. Occasionally, you can see small fish surfacing to breathe.
The willows along the riverbank have sprouted, and patches of tender green grass have emerged on the meadow. Occasionally, one or two small flowers can be seen, and the team leader has begun to organize everyone to start working and turning over the soil.
Meanwhile, three couples—Lin Yunfeng and Zhao Xi, Chen Bin and Lu Xianghong, and Wang Haoran and Xu Fengjiao—also got married one after another.
Near Lin Qing's house, a new courtyard was built by Lin Yunfeng and Zhao Xi. They moved out of Lin Qing's courtyard, Wang Haoran moved to Xu Fengjiao's courtyard, and Lu Xianghong moved to Chen Bin's courtyard.
Everyone's lives have returned to normal.
That day, Gu Nanqing and Lin Qing had finished lunch and were sunbathing under a tree.
"Knock knock knock..."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Gu Nanxun got up and opened the door, where a smiling postman stood.
"Comrade Gu, there is a letter for you."
The postman handed Gu Nanxun a telegram with a smile on his face.
Gu Nanxun nodded and took the letter: "Thank you!"
The postman shook his head, got on his bicycle, and rode away.
"Brother Nanxun, who sent this letter?"
Lin Qing asked curiously.
Gu Nanxun shook his head as he opened the letter.
After opening the letter, he quickly glanced through it and then explained it to Qing.
“It was my former boss. He said my job arrangements were set: one was to become the director of the county public security bureau, who was being transferred elsewhere, and I was to take over the position; the other was to become an instructor in the action department of the security bureau.”
"So, which one does Brother Nanxun want to choose? The instructor of the Security Bureau's Operations Division, or will he need to be transferred to another location?"
After listening, Lin Qing thought for a moment and then asked. He knew what the director of the Public Security Bureau did and what the instructors did, but he really didn't know what the Security Bureau's Action Division did.
After asking the question, Lin Qing added, "Nanxun, you can choose where you want to go. I support you no matter where you want to go."
Gu Nanxun nodded and then said, "Let me think about it. I'll call my boss tomorrow and then we'll talk about it."
Before Gu Nanxun could go to the post office to make the call the next day, Zhao Youcai sent him a letter when he returned home that evening, telling him to call his father back the next day.
Gu Lanxun nodded knowingly upon hearing this; his father must have wanted to talk to him about work.
...
The next morning, after breakfast, Gu Nanxun rode his bicycle to the commune's post office. Gu Nanxun first made a phone call to his former boss.
"Hello!"
A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Director Zhao, this is Gu Nanxun."
Gu Nanxun said.
"Hmm, Nanxun, how are you now? Have you fully recovered?"
Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's voice on the other end of the phone, Director Zhao of the Security Bureau sat up straight and asked with concern.
"I have fully recovered, thank you for your concern, Director Zhao."
Gu Nanxun answered seriously.
