Chapter 61 When you're traveling, you give yourself your own identity.

"Safeguarding peace in the distance."

After opening the small cloth bag, the first thing you see is a note inside, with only three characters written on it. To someone who doesn't know its meaning, it might look more like a person's name.

The system scratched its head: "Host, what does this mean?"

"This is my maternal grandmother's handwriting, and it's left-handed writing. Only family members know that my grandmother is good at writing with her left hand. This is how my grandmother's father trained her to write from a young age, and he stipulated that it could only be shown to family members and not to outsiders. It can be considered a traditional family rule of education in the Wei family."

The system nodded in surprise, genuinely admiring, "Mr. Wei is wise."

"Of course." Bai Nuo nodded with a smile, gently stroking the three words on it, and said with a smile, "Grandma told me that she and Grandpa are in Beijing now. They haven't been sent down to other places, but they are being watched over and cannot leave Beijing."

There shouldn't be anything wrong with my uncle either. After my older brother joined the army, my maternal grandfather transferred him to a research institute in the Northwest. That place is far from the political center. Even though he has studied abroad, his expertise in research is enough to offset his status as an overseas student. Even if someone wants to harm him, the country will do its utmost to protect him.

The last two words told me to stay away from Shanghai and wait patiently.

"Then there's no need to worry." The system looked at its host happily.

Bai Nuo nodded: "So it seems that the person who signed me up to go to the countryside was arranged by my grandmother."

Bai Nuo lowered his head, his fingers lightly sliding across the paper, his face deep and dark, the corners of his mouth slowly curling up, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness: "I just don't know if those people value what my grandfather and uncle have, or what the Wei family has."

"Is there a difference? Aren't they all our family's things?"

“Of course there are.” Bai Nuo chuckled and ruffled the system’s bald head, but the smile never reached his eyes. “One is martial arts, the other is money. Those eyeing the martial arts are probably outsiders, while those eyeing the Wei family’s wealth are probably our own people. But it doesn’t matter, no matter who it is…”

Bai Nuo's face grew even sweeter and brighter, but the murderous aura in her eyes was deep and intense, and her voice carried a sinister and eerie quality.

"No matter who it is, I will make sure they never return."

The slender, long middle finger bent and gently flicked the system's mechanical little head.

It made a crisp "thump" sound.

“A-Tong, I heard that educated youth have a holiday during the Spring Festival. Let’s secretly go back to Shanghai.”

"good!"

The system nodded obediently. It would help whatever the host did, as long as it didn't get into the cage.

I've heard from other systems that the food there is absolutely awful.

Besides the note, the small bag contained 500 yuan in cash and various receipts, which the old lady must have prepared for her. The reason it was only 500 yuan was probably because there were too many receipts to carry.

Bai Nuo put the money and tickets into the money box in the study, then sat down at his desk and began to write a letter.

Of course, she couldn't write to her grandmother. This letter was to let her know she was safe in Xiangshangchong, Shanghai. She would mail it in the county town tomorrow.

After finishing the letter, it was already past eleven o'clock. Bai Nuo had to get up early the next morning to catch the bus, so she tidied up and went back to her room to sleep.

At five o'clock the next morning, she was woken up by a knock on the door. She groggily left the space, lifted the quilt on the ground, and casually threw the quilt used for disguise into the space. She put on a blue homespun coat and went to open the door in a daze.

"Good morning, Sister Yuxi!" Bai Nuo squinted her eyes and glanced at the sky outside after speaking.

Very good, it's just dawn, there's only a thin line of light on the horizon, and it's still dark overhead.

"I asked yesterday. In the morning, we take a horse-drawn carriage to the county. People start reserving seats as early as 5:30. There's only one carriage, so if there aren't any seats, we'll have to walk to the county. Let's get ready and go reserve seats early."

Getting up early is always better than walking to the county!

Bai Nuo immediately perked up and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I'll be done in ten minutes."

Sun Yuxi smiled and rubbed the little girl's messy head: "Okay, I'll go wake up Xianhua first."

Bai Nuo nodded, turned around, closed the door, and after making sure it was locked, hurriedly went back to her space to wash up.

It's still quite cold in Northeast China in April, especially in the mornings, when it can sometimes reach seven or eight degrees Celsius, requiring you to wear a light cotton-padded jacket.

Bai Nuo is a wood-type and strength-type ability user. As we all know, most plants are afraid of heat, and Bai Nuo admits that he is also quite afraid of cold. However, because he is an ability user, he is resistant to cold, which is contradictory and makes other ability users particularly puzzled.

She checked the outside temperature as soon as she opened the door, then quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth in her room. After applying some moisturizer, she plunged into Warehouse No. 8.

The clothes she found yesterday to wear this morning are completely unsuitable; she feels that if she goes out in them, she'll freeze to death.

Warehouse No. 8 is full of retro-style goods, including food, drink, entertainment, clothing, food, housing, and transportation. She found a small white floral print pink cotton-padded jacket on the special clothes rack. The inner lining was rose pink, and the sleeves were slightly long. She rolled them up and paired them with a white turtleneck sweater. It looked particularly nice.

She pulled out a set of flesh-colored thermal underwear, a pair of slightly thicker brown corduroy straight-leg pants, and a retro black women's leather belt.

He found the clothes and put them aside, then turned around and pulled out a pair of black, chubby, high-top leather shoes and a pair of tan cotton socks.

Bai Nuo looked at the outfit and thought it was alright. It looked good and suited the era, and most importantly, it kept her warm.
