Chapter 6: The Beginning of Turmoil After Tan Qiu left, Fourth Brother handed me fifty yuan and sent me off as well. Of course, I was more than happy to take the money. I quickly ran to the street corner stall to enjoy a bowl of cold jelly, and then headed to the supermarket to buy a few toothbrushes. On my way back from the supermarket, I saw the entire production street lined with mobile stalls selling New Year prints and couplets. If there's one thing Henan never lacks, it's people.

- Chapter 7: The Strange Team With Fourth Brother not around, I locked the door from the inside and lay down on the bed, reflecting on everything that had happened today, especially that Nine-Ring Jade Casket. When Tian Yuqing asked me to take a closer look the second time, I did notice something I hadn't seen before. On the right side of the casket, there was a faint painting applied with a special kind of paint, which I hadn't noticed at first. I guessed it must be a unique paint that only becomes…

In the late 1970s in New China, a few old farmers were leaning on their shovels, which were stuck deep in the ground. Zhu Laosan took a few deep drags from the cigarette dangling from his mouth, the sparks briefly flickering in the pitch-black mountain hollow. "Zhu Laosan, are you seeing things?

- Chapter 2: Fourth Brother's Guest Inside a courtyard on Longshan Road in Langling, Henan, I sat on a long bench, having waited for over an hour. The half cup of tea in my hand had been refilled and cooled numerous times. I checked my watch for the 32nd time, thinking that if no one showed up in ten minutes, I'd buy a train ticket for the afternoon and leave. This private residence was left by my grandfather. It was kept very clean, with a spirit tablet and incense burner on the altar. My…
