Qin Shen's health began to deteriorate inexplicably, the low-grade fever came intermittently, and his stomach began to be troubled again. After a few days, he lost several pounds. Rong Qiao couldn't stand it anymore. I was taken to the hospital and had a full body check to see what was going on.

However, the inspection report showed that everything was normal, except that the blood sugar was a little low, and there was a little anemia, which required more rest and recuperation.

But when he came back from the hospital, he was not well at all. Rong Qiao was very worried. Fortunately, after several days of recuperation, he finally recovered gradually. Although his complexion was still not good, he finally didn't have any fever or stomach upset.

Rong Qiao had been absent from work for several days because of Qin Shen's affairs. At this moment, Qin Shen's body has recovered a bit. The work has piled up to the point where he can't push it any more. He hurried to the hospital. Before leaving, he didn't forget to leave a sentence He told Qin Shen that he would come back as early as possible without working overtime in the afternoon.

Looking at the back of Rong Qiao leaving, Qin Shen finally couldn't help coughing a few times while sitting on the sofa.He is not a superstitious person, but up to now there is no such thing as superstitious or not. He has begun to suspect that he suddenly became so sick, and I am afraid that it is not as simple as a simple cold.

However, Qin Shen didn't know anyone who was reliable in this regard, the only one seemed to be Grandma Chu, but now she has returned to the countryside.

"Qin Shen, your voice is hoarse, is it okay? Why does it feel worse than the previous time..." Chu Jun listened to the voice on the phone in surprise, and couldn't help asking with concern, if it wasn't for the caller ID, where would he be? Knowing that, Qin Shen pursed his lips, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just not in a good condition, and it should be fine in a few days."

"You are not in a good state... I still remember the last time I passed out in the company, are you okay?" Chu Jun frowned and asked again, but Qin Shen just changed the subject and said: " It's nothing, it's just a common cold, it's just a little persistent, the company is fine now, right?"

"If there's anything to say, it's probably that you've spent almost all of your previous and upcoming vacations during this period, and if you don't come back, you will have opinions from the higher-ups. You can handle it yourself." Chu Jun sighed, "Why didn't you take a good rest and suddenly called me?"

"I want to ask where your grandma is now. The old man gave me the string of Buddhist beads last time, and I want to return it to him." Qin Shen's eyes darkened, and he didn't continue the topic just now, but went straight to the point and said The purpose of this call.

Chu Jun narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, finally sighed, turned around and called Grandma Chu to explain the situation, followed her old man's advice, but did not tell him about Qin Shen's request to return the Buddhist beads.

Grandma Chu didn't say anything after hearing this, and she didn't say that she couldn't tell Qin Shen her address, so Chu County told Qin Shen the address by text message.

It is said that it is a rural city, but it is actually a relatively rural city in another city in this province. It takes two or three minutes to drive on the expressway.

In fact, Qin Shen was unexpectedly not that concerned about his physical condition. Ever since he dreamed of Qin Yiming's past that day, he would dream of some strange scenes from time to time, so he cared more about why he did this than his physical condition. A strange dream.

However, combining the dream with the sudden decline in his physical condition made him have to have some extremely absurd thoughts, such as whether his body had undergone such changes because of these.

He needed someone to help him confirm these things. After thinking about it, he could only think of Grandma Chu who saw him before he returned to his body.

After receiving the address sent, Qin Shen directly booked the high-speed rail ticket, took his wallet and mobile phone and packed some things, put on his backpack and left home, hailed a taxi and arrived at the high-speed rail station.

Not long after he got on the high-speed rail and sat still, Rong Qiao called.

He stared at the caller ID for a while and was silent, but finally picked up.

"Where are you?" Rong Qiao's anxious voice came through the phone, Qin Shen looked at the station outside the window and said, "Outside."

Rong Qiao's voice paused, followed by a flustered voice from the other end, "How can you run around when you're not in good health? I'll pick you up right where you are."

"I know my own body. It's nothing serious. You don't need to look for me. I'm on the high-speed rail now, and I won't be able to go back for a while." Qin Shen sighed, "Chujun told you?"

Rong Qiao was silent for a while, "Wait a minute after you get there, I'll go book tickets now."

"You don't need to come here." Qin Shen interrupted him. He pursed his lips and took a deep breath, "Chu Jun should have told you, so I'll pay back something and go out to get some air. During this time, apart from the company Even at home, after finally recovering from illness, staying at home is boring and panic, there is no problem, I can take care of my body, you don’t have to worry so much, it’s not like I won’t come back.”

After the words fell, there was no sound on the other end, and Qin Shen didn't speak either. He vaguely felt that he could hear Rong Qiao's voice through the phone. He leaned his head on the side, and the fingertips holding the phone trembled slightly with the shaking of the car. .

"Qin Shen, do you mind... me?"

The hand holding the mobile phone couldn't help but tighten a little, Qin Shen narrowed his eyes, and after a long time, he replied: "I don't know, I just want to be alone all of a sudden, you really don't have to come here, I will Take care of yourself, and I'll be back in a few days, don't worry." Without hesitation, he calmly hung up the phone, looked at the phone's battery, and found that it was exhausted.

At this time, Rong Qiao called again suddenly, and when he was still hesitating whether to answer the call, the phone turned off due to low battery.

Qin Shen stared at the phone with a blacked-out screen, lost in thought for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh.

In fact, he deliberately hid it from Rong Qiao from the beginning, but he left in such a hurry that he neglected to tell Chu County not to tell Rong Qiao about it.But in fact, he can't hide it from Rong Qiao after get off work, and he will know it sooner or later.

Qin Shen reached out and rubbed his eyebrows and closed his eyes, his brain began to ache again.

After arriving at the station, I went out and hailed a taxi and went directly to Grandma Chu's house. Because it was a relatively rural place, I had to sit in the car after getting off the high-speed rail, and one of them disappeared before I arrived.Qin Shen asked as he walked, only to find out that Grandma Chu is quite famous here.

However, this made it easier for him to find someone. Finally, under the guidance of passers-by, he came to an old courtyard. Looking at the house with an architectural style decades ago in front of him, Qin Shen's eyes looked around and finally fell on On the body of Grandma Chu who was sitting in the yard licking the sun and teasing cats.

When he was hesitating at the door whether to disturb others, Grandma Chu in the yard suddenly looked up at him, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Come in, the door is not closed."

Only then did Qin Shen push the door open, carrying some supplements for the elderly that he bought on the way when he came here, and when he walked up to Grandma Chu, the cat that was lying lazily on the ground sensed that a stranger was coming, and hurriedly Stand up and run to hide elsewhere.

Cats are basically alert and repulsive when they meet strangers, so he doesn't feel embarrassed.

"Grandma Chu, long time no see. I'm a friend of Chu County. I met downstairs in Chu County last time. I wonder if you still remember me?" Qin Shen smiled softly.

Grandma Chu looked up at him, squinting her eyes, "Remember, you are Xiaojun's friend, right? Why did you suddenly think of running to find me, an old woman?"

Qin Shen looked at Grandma Chu's eyes. She was clearly in her old age, but these eyes were so sharp that she could see through him.On the way here, he also heard a lot about Grandma Chu.

She is a well-known goddess in the local area. It is rumored that she can see things that people can't see. In the past, she often showed people superstitions, but she was basically accurate, so she attracted many outsiders at that time.Later, she gradually got old, and her children also settled outside because of work and business, but she was the only one who guarded this land and refused to leave.

Later, it is said that what I saw was no longer so clear, and I gradually began to reduce the number of times I read superstitions. I have been living at home for the elderly these years, and I have never shown my fate to anyone.

Qin Shen knew that even if he made excuses, he would only be playing tricks on Grandma Chu in front of Grandma Chu, so he didn't answer, but put down the supplements he brought, and took out a small box from his pocket to Grandma Chu.

"You lent me this string of Buddhist beads, but forgive me for not accepting such a precious thing for no reason, so I came here specially to return it to you."

Grandma Chu didn't reach out to take it, but looked at Qin Shen, "You don't like it?"

Qin Shen was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, and Grandma Chu was satisfied, "If you like it, accept it. In fact, I gave it to you for no other reason. I just gave it to you because I think we are destined for each other. .”

Hearing these words, Qin Shen really didn't know how to respond. If you don't accept it, the old man has talked about this and then rejecting it will only look too artificial.Qin Shen glanced at the Buddhist beads in his hand, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

"Then thank you Grandma Chu."

"You're welcome. If you don't like or want it that day, you can just sell him and throw it away." She stood up and prepared to go back to the house with her hands behind her back. "Go back if you have nothing to do."

Looking at Grandma Chu's back, Qin Shen hesitated to speak, and finally called out to the other party, "Grandma Chu, I still have something to ask you..."

……

It was already evening when Qin Shen left. There are aboriginal villages around here and there are no hotels to stay overnight. He had to take a car to the city and find a hotel room to stay in. He lay down on the big bed. Qin Shen stared at the ceiling for a long time before finally I remembered that my mobile phone had been turned off for a day.

He took it out of his pocket, dug out the charger, found the plug to charge it, turned it on, and then there were more than a dozen missed calls and unread text messages. Except for one call from Chu County, the rest, whether it was a phone call or a text message It's from Rongqiao.

Qin Shen was stunned for a moment, his heart itching as if ants had crawled over him.When he was flipping through those text messages one by one, his phone vibrated. Looking at the caller ID, Qin Shen was slightly taken aback, and his fingertips began to tremble involuntarily.

He stared at the screen in silence for a long while before finally pressing the answer button.
