Chu Tianyi dipped some in a cotton swab, and then put it in a sealed bag and put it away.

On the day of the funeral, Chu Tianyi found an opportunity to get out of the rituals one after another. He hurriedly found Ma Feifei, who came to mourn, "Feifei, my grandfather's matter, you have bothered a lot, thank you for calling me, I didn't bother to thank you that day!" ”

Ma Feifei waved his hand, "It's all old classmates, you're welcome." You are the eldest grandson, and you are busy with today's funeral. ”

Chu Tianyi nodded, and then asked, "By the way, I didn't have time to ask in detail the last time we met." What was my grandfather like? How did he get there? ”

Ma Feifei thought for a moment, "That day, I was on duty, and suddenly I saw a person sent by the emergency department. I hurried over to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be your grandfather. What we know is that your grandfather was alone in the store at the time, and the neighbor uncle next to him wanted to go over to play chess with him, but as soon as he entered the door, he found that your grandfather had fallen to the ground. The uncle quickly called 120 and sent your grandfather to the hospital. After the emergency personnel were brought in, it was clear that your grandfather was suffering from a heart attack. We rushed to rescue him, but unfortunately, we couldn't save him. ”

Chu Tianyi frowned, "Feifei, you said that my grandfather is usually fine, and there is nothing wrong with his heart, how could he suddenly have a heart attack?" ”

Ma Feifei sighed, "At this age, the elderly will have some heart problems to some extent, coupled with fatigue or emotional stimulation, and even cold stimulation, there is a risk of causing this emergency. ”

Chu Tianyi nodded, and continued to ask: "By the way, when you rescue, will you prick a needle in the palm of your hand?" ”

Ma Feifei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, why do you ask that?" ”

Chu Tianyi shook his right hand, "I found a strange pinhole in the palm of my grandfather's right hand," as he said, he took out the sealed bag in his coat pocket, "I took a little sample from the wound, can you help me test it to see what the ingredients are?" ”

"What is this?" Ma Feifei's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you suspecting that there is something wrong with your grandfather's death?" She looked at Chu Tianyi with some concern, "Are you thinking too much?" I know you have a hard time accepting this reality, and I can understand you. However, we did a systematic examination of your grandfather at the time, and we did not find any signs of poisoning or other anomalies. Don't stress too much, don't embarrass yourself. ”

Ma Feifei's words made Chu Tianyi stunned for a moment, he grabbed his hair, "I don't know, maybe you're right, my heart can't accept my grandfather's departure yet." However, the wound in my grandfather's palm pierced my heart like a thorn, and I don't know why this happened, and if I didn't get an answer, I couldn't sleep, even if you helped me. ”

Ma Feifei, a nurse, has seen similar situations before, and some family members can't accept the death of a patient psychologically. So you get to the point of a certain incomprehensible detail, which in psychology is a kind of stress paranoia.

Ma Feifei thought about it, but nodded in agreement. She reached for the sealed bag and took it, "I'll call you when I have the results." ”

"Thank you!" Chu Tianyi smiled and nodded.

After burying his grandfather, everyone dispersed, and Chu Tianyi returned to his hometown alone.

In Chu Tianyi's memory, he only lived here with his grandfather for a period of time when he was very young, and later in order to take care of him to go to school, his grandfather moved to the city and opened the antique shop.

Chu Tianyi stood in the empty room, and there were still some photos of him and his grandfather hanging on the wall, but the photos had been yellowed over time.

In the photo, Chu Tianyi always holds a wooden horse in his hand, which is the toy that his father made for him back then, and it is also the only one. Later, one year, the next-door neighbor's house caught fire, and the flames spread and burned a lot of things, including this Trojan horse, and the young Chu Tianyi cried for several days because of this incident.

The scene in the photo made Chu Tianyi look sad. He wiped his tears and walked out into the courtyard.

Chu Tianyi planned to go back to his grandfather's shop in the city to live. After all, the house in his hometown has been uninhabited for a long time, and he plans to take care of the store for his grandfather, so that he can be busy with some things, which can reduce the sadness in his heart. Of course, there are some objective reasons, Chu Tianyi basically has no money in his hands now, and he always has to find a way to earn money to live.

Chu Tianyi had just made up his mind when there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door.

Chu Tianyi didn't know why someone would come to visit the door at this time. He hesitated, but walked over. When he opened the door, he saw a strange girl standing in front of him.

The girl is not very old, almost in her twenties. has short ear-length hair, which looks very capable. A pair of big eyes on his fair face are very exciting.

Looking at this beautiful girl, Chu Tianyi couldn't help frowning, he was sure that he had never seen this person, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The girl didn't answer immediately, but tilted her head slightly and looked at Chu Tianyi, "Are you from the Chu family?" ”

Chu Tianyi nodded, and the girl then asked, "Then who are you, Mr. Chu Xiubai?" ”

"It's my grandfather." Chu Tianyi replied.

The girl nodded, "Please be submissive." Without waiting for Chu Tianyi to answer, the girl reached out and pushed the courtyard door open, bypassing Chu Tianyi sideways and walking into the courtyard.

I didn't expect her to be so polite, Chu Tianyi was stunned for a moment, and he was also a little unhappy in his heart, "Hey, this young lady, may I ask what is the matter with you?" ”

The girl looked around and turned her head to look at Chu Tianyi, "Hello, my name is Gu Xiaoqian." ”

After the girl finished speaking, she looked straight at Chu Tianyi, as if waiting for his reaction. But Chu Tianyi really didn't know how he should react.

He was stunned for a moment, then said, "Uh, I, my name is Chu Tianyi." ”

Next, there was another embarrassing cold scene.

Gu Xiaoqian stared at Chu Tianyi with a frown for a while, and shook her head a little helplessly.

Chu Tianyi really didn't want to play dumb riddles with the strange girl in front of him, "This young lady, I don't think we know each other at all, why are you here for?" ”

Gu Xiaoqian took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, I'll just say it directly." With that, she walked up to Chu Tianyi, "Although I know that it may be a little inappropriate to come to you to talk about this matter at this time, but you also know that this matter is quite special, and if you drag it out, you will inevitably have long nights and dreams." ”

Chu Tianyi was confused by what she said, and he began to wonder if this Gu Xiaoqian was looking for the wrong person, but he still listened patiently, although his eyes were full of question marks.

Gu Xiaoqian continued: "Since Mr. Chu Xiubai has already gone to the immortal, then please hand over the secret box to us according to the agreement of the year." ”

"Secret box?" Chu Tianyi was completely stunned, "I'm sorry, Miss Gu, I don't know what you're talking about?" ”

Gu Xiaoqian couldn't help frowning, "What do you mean by that?" Although I don't know what happened back then, I once heard my grandfather mention that it was indeed thanks to your Chu family that you helped our Gu family back then, so the secret box has always remained in your grandfather's hands. But so many years have passed, and there has been no progress in the secret box in your hands, and now your grandfather is gone, so your Chu family should hand over the secret box. Seeing that Chu Tianyi didn't react, Gu Xiaoqian added, "This is also what my grandfather meant, I hope you don't embarrass us." ”

At this time, Chu Tianyi was completely like a cloud, he shook his head with a wry smile, "Miss Gu, I don't know what you said at all. I don't know what my grandfather made with you when he was alive, and I don't know what he took from you. I can guarantee that I've never seen what you're talking about, so is there any misunderstanding in this? ”

"Misunderstanding? How is this possible, what do you think the secret box is! Speaking of this, Gu Xiaoqian squinted her eyes and looked at Chu Tianyi, "You really don't know?" ”

Chu Tianyi sighed, "I haven't been by my grandfather's side all these years, and even when he passed away, I didn't have time to see him for the last time." It's me who I'm sorry for my grandfather and care so little about him. Speaking of this, Chu Tianyi couldn't help but choke up a little.
