Before he could react, the owner of the voice had already walked into the dusty room.

Xie Chen looked at the feather duster placed on the cabinet, and realized that he had really returned to the real world, back to when he first entered his grandfather's room.

In other words, in fact, the time I experienced in the world of strange talk will not pass in the real world.

Then why did Grandpa Tai not write to his family for two or three years?

Based on the situation at that time, coupled with his strange journey this time, it is impossible for Grandpa Tai to fall into a state of madness after that time.

After all, he wrote two letters later.

In other words, in the middle, he definitely discovered the secrets of the strange world, and there is definitely key information in the world over there that he hasn't been able to notice.

"Have you cleaned it up?"

"You didn't reply to me when I called you just now."

While she was stunned, a girl in a cool sundress walked in from the doorrail.

"What are you doing here?"

"I've been cleaning my grandfather's bedroom for so long, and it's all so dirty."

Xie Chen looked at his sister in front of him, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Looking at his younger brother in a daze, Xie Nan also frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"Is it because you're not feeling well? Or what's wrong? ”

Xie Nan hurriedly walked over and supported himself with his hand.

After knowing that he had indeed returned to the real world now, his heart began to slowly let down his guard, and the exhaustion accumulated in his whole body reached its peak at the same time.

If it weren't for my sister holding me by the side, I might have stumbled and fallen to the ground.

Xie Yan looked at a loss and asked nervously.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Don't scare me. ”

Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief, with an expression of the rest of his life, and replied softly while shaking his head.

"It's not a big deal, it's a good feeling to be alive."

Xie Yan didn't quite understand what his brother was talking about, the expression on his face was a little displeased, and he reached out and pinched a large handful of meat on his cheek.

"What are you talking about?"

"Aren't you alive and well now, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xie Chen looked at his sister Xie Nan's panicked expression, but suddenly burst out laughing.

This hearty laughter immediately filled the entire room, and even Xie Chen himself burst into tears of laughter.

Xie Yan really couldn't figure it out, just after such a short time of separation, his younger brother became like this, what was going on?

This reminds me of the moment when I died because of schizophrenia, and I couldn't wake up to my grandfather.

Of course, these words were also told by my mother and grandfather later, after all, when my grandfather passed away, I and Xie Chen were only seven or eight years old.

"Let's not clean up yet, you should rest first."

Xie Yan frowned and said to Xie Chen, who was leaning against him.

Xie Chen also came to his senses at this time and waved his hand at his sister.

"It's not a big deal, you can go ahead and clean the storage room over there, and I'll continue to look here."

Xie Yan looked at the sudden and normal Xie Chen, and then let go of the hands he was holding suspiciously.

There was still a little puzzled complaint on his face.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Just now I just wanted to come over and ask if you have finished cleaning this side, but who would have thought that you not only haven't finished this side yet, but even as if you haven't cleaned it."

"Hurry up and tidy up the two rooms first, and then you have to go to my uncle's side first."

Needless to say, Xie Chen himself is also clear about the original arrangement.

"Got it, got it."

"Since you cleaned it first, you will also be in charge of Grandma's room, sister."

Xie Chen smiled, and he saved some effort.

Hearing that his younger brother was so good at arranging, Xie Nan also tugged Xie Chen's ears with his hand.

"You're really good at arranging, you."

Xie Chen immediately took a step back and covered his ears with his hands.

"We all said that a good gentleman doesn't move his mouth, how can there be such a thing as you."

Xie Nan gave himself a roll of the eyes angrily.

But I didn't expect this guy to be even more effective when he got started.

One hand dragged his other ear and said with a smile: "I know that you are dressed for laziness, hurry up and work for me!" ”

"It's still lazy to do this kind of small work, how can there be a gentleman like you."

Originally, I wanted to tease my sister, but I didn't expect to be teased back by my sister, and I could only helplessly obey the order.

"Don't be lazy with me this time, hurry up and finish these things and let's go, if it gets dark later, this old house is still quite crazy."

I still want to insist on trying to explain, but the words come to my mouth and hold back.

I really haven't thought about being lazy, but even if I say something weird about the world, I guess I will only be used by my sister as an excuse for being lazy.

Even if it is not used as an excuse, it will only end up in another way, which is to rewrite yourself and go crazy.

Either way, there's no way to excuse yourself anyway.

Seeing his sister walk out, Xie Chen also cheered up again.

At least it's hard to explain it now, and the things I have just experienced seem too abrupt.

Xie Chen looked at the pocket watch in his hand, which was slowly turning at this time, but the time was reversed, not clockwise.

Xie Chen naturally knew in his heart that this must be his countdown in the real world.

If the time comes, it will be the time to leave this world.

Looking at the clutter around me and the dusty cabinet in front of me, I let myself be exhausted.

Don't talk about cleaning, I really want to lie down and sleep peacefully, and wake up with a full meal.

Xie Chen stretched his waist, walked to the dusty cabinet, and patted it with a feather duster.

In addition to the compartment where the pocket watch was placed after opening, there were actually three identical wooden compartments next to it.

There are two small compartments on the left and right sides of the counter.

I haven't even seen what is in there.

After sweeping the dust on the left side, Xie Chen used his hand to remove the garbage around him, and then pulled out the small grid on the left.

There was a pile of coins in it, and they were wrapped around them with rubber bands, six small bundles in all, all neatly organized.

Ten yuan and five yuan are put together, and there is a pile at the bottom of the pile of fifty and one hundred denominations, but the number is not as many as the one above.

More often than not, it is the corners and cents, and these denominations account for the majority, accounting for almost half of the amount.

"It's ...... What age is this money? ”

Xie Chen took out the six small bundles of banknotes, and after untying the hemp rope tied outside, there must be at least more than 20 stacks of banknotes.

I have never seen money of this denomination, and it is estimated that it was only used by my grandfather in that era.

Because this is the hometown of the mountain, and since the death of the grandfather, this side has been temporarily sealed.

The generations of the neighbors have known each other for a long time, and there has been no land occupation or damage to the old house.

Xie Chen put all these coins on the table, and wanted to call my sister to come in and take a look, but this is only the first small compartment of the cabinet, and I haven't seen the others yet.

Naturally, this idea was temporarily dispelled.

Xie Chen stretched out his hand and pulled open the lattice next to him, this lattice is not as much garbage as compared to the first one, at least he doesn't have to clean it up first.

Xie Chen couldn't wait to stick his head over, and when he looked inside, he was much more disappointed than before.

This compartment is full of miscellaneous things.

Two boxes of matches, a smaller pair of scissors, and a few needles and threads in them, all entwined together.

In addition to these, there are also two round pens, even after so long, they still remain sharpened, and the nibs are basically not too dull, which should be the reason why I haven't written much.

"That's how Grandpa used this to write letters, right?"

Xie Chen took out the two round pens in this grid, and sighed with a serious face.

Then I flipped through the grid again, and when I found that there was really nothing else besides these things, I turned my attention to the bottom grid.

The top two small ones have been fully opened, and the rest are the three big ones below.

One of them only had a pocket watch, and the other three had to wait until he opened it to find out.

Without hesitation, Xie Chen opened the compartment under the pocket watch.

What catches your eye is full of photos, some scattered.

Underneath these photos are two albums that are not very large.

It's just that because they've been stored for too long, the photos are all dusty.

And the age of the photos is quite old, basically all of them are gray and white, and there are not many color photos.

After finishing the scattered photos, he focused on the remaining two albums.

However, after flipping through these two albums, I didn't find anything too valuable.

But it's also the reason why I don't like this aspect.

If it was a mother or grandfather, I would have treasured these photos left by my grandfather as if they were treasures.

After all, there are too many generations, and these people in the photo, not to mention their uncle, even the grandfather has to guess to guess, after all, the grandfather who can be recognized in the photo is too young.

also knew that these two albums were taken in the past, and they were left by my grandfather, so I recognized who the characters in them were.

The only side I saw when I saw my grandfather was when he was lying on the hospital bed talking nonsense.

At that time, he was already old, and he was not the same person as the grandfather who was strong and strong when he was young and even looked like a scholar in this photo.

"Time is really a pig-killing knife."

Xie Chen slowly put the two albums together, sandwiched those scattered photos into the two albums, and then focused on the last two wooden grids.

"I hope I can learn something useful."

Xie Chen muttered to himself, and after putting the photo album away, he reached out and opened the wooden lattice on it.

What caught my eye was a very complete wooden box, with very delicate patterns carved on it.

"What is this?"

Xie Chen was very curious and picked up the somewhat heavy ink cartridge and slowly placed it on the table.
