The afternoon sun shines obliquely into every corner of the study, adding a bit of warmth to this quiet space.

Gu Ranle came back from a walk and did not choose to take a nap. Instead, he walked straight into the study and turned on the familiar computer.

The screen lit up instantly, and the chat software icon flashed in the lower right corner, as if telling something.

"Black Duck" messages came like a tide, appearing one after another in the dialog box.

[call!]

[Calling the Five Elements, they lack morality but not money!]

[Brother, help is needed, please show up!]

[Really don't think about it?]

[The conditions offered by this game company are really tempting. As long as you can help them fix the vulnerability, you will directly own 10% of the company's shares!]

[I know, brother, you are not short of money, but more money is better than less! And their company also promised that you will become their company's free super VIP player for life, and all the equipment in the game will be free!]

[Big brother? Big brother who is not short of money? If you want to go online, you must definitely knock me out.]

Gu Ranle looked at the messages sent by "Black Duck" without a ripple in his heart.

As the saying goes, cater to people’s tastes.

But obviously, "Black Duck" didn't get her preferences.

She ignored the messages, closed the chat interface, opened the browser and started looking for some information.

After finishing her search, she casually picked up a yellowed and old medical book. It was a treasure she found in her great-grandfather's study some time ago. Today, she finally had time to read it carefully.

Gu Ranle curled up on the sofa in the study, sitting cross-legged, holding a piece of watermelon in his hands, eating and watching, looking so comfortable.

Every word in the book seemed to have magic power, which attracted her deeply.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Jiu walked in with a plate of sliced ​​watermelon.

"Master, is there something wrong with what is written here?"

Gu Ranle was reading a medical book. The yellowed and old book had been read by countless people.

Gu Ranle found this book from her great-grandfather's study a while ago and read it for the first time.

"where?"

Gu Jiu sat down next to her and took the book.

Gu Ranle sat cross-legged beside him and ate watermelon leisurely.

Gu Jiu read what she said from the beginning to the end and didn't find anything wrong.

He turned his head and looked at Gu Ranle, "What's wrong with it? Didn't your great-grandfather write a comment next to it?"

Gu Ranle took a bite of the watermelon and said, "The annotation is correct, but my great-grandfather didn't write about one medicinal herb, but two. The one written in the book is just one of them, and its effect is more inclined to promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis rather than nourishing the liver and kidneys and strengthening tendons and bones. The one that nourishes the liver and kidneys and strengthens tendons and bones is another one. Look carefully at the medicinal herb in the picture to see what it is."

Gu Jiu followed his instructions and carefully observed the herbs in the picture. Since it was a book from a long time ago and the picture was in black and white, the pixels were not good and it was not particularly clear.

But if you look closely, you can still tell the difference.

After he carefully observed the medicinal herbs in the picture again, he finally found the clue.

He nodded and sighed: "It's true, you have such sharp eyes!"

Gu Ranle smiled complacently, with the corners of her mouth raised, and said confidently: "Young people have good eyesight, and these details naturally can't escape my eyes."

Hearing this, Gu Jiu gently closed the medical book in his hand, sighed, and had a look of emotion in his eyes: "I have read this book several times when I was young, but I never noticed this problem. It seems that what your great-grandfather said is right. It is difficult for me to make any progress in this lifetime. The future road still depends on you young people to walk."

Gu Ranle raised her hand and gently patted Gu Jiu's shoulder, her eyes full of smiles.

"Old man, don't underestimate yourself. It's not that you don't know this medicinal herb, you just didn't pay attention to the details. Although talent is important in practicing medicine, talent is not everything. Of course, you have to admit that the disciple is better than the master, and I, the younger generation, will push the older generation forward."

After hearing this, Gu Jiu raised a barely perceptible smile, and then snorted, "Don't be too proud too soon. Compared to Zhou Xiaoliu, you are still a step behind."

Gu Ranle shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Hey, how can we compare? We are not of the same generation. She is the last disciple of my great-grandfather. She is close to me and has learned more than me. She is better than me, that's for sure. But I will also work hard to catch up. One day, I will surpass her."

Gu Jiu looked at Gu Ranle's determined eyes, his heart filled with relief and expectation.

He knew that his granddaughter had unlimited potential and possibilities and would definitely go further in the future.

"After eating the watermelon, go walk around in the yard. Don't stay in the room all afternoon."

"understood."

Gu Ranle responded happily.

The book was back in her hands and she read it while eating watermelon.

She didn't leave the study until Gu Jiu came upstairs to call her for dinner in the evening.

"The book is just lying there quietly. It won't grow legs and run away. You can read it anytime you want."

Gu Jiu looked a bit helpless and doting.

He walked forward, gently but firmly pulled the book out of her tightly clenched hands, and gently placed it on the table beside her. He said in a gentle but unquestionable tone: "Go downstairs first, take a leisurely walk in the yard, and come back just in time for dinner."

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned eating. As soon as he mentioned it, Gu Ranle's stomach seemed to respond to the call and began to growl.

She rubbed her belly shyly, stood up, stretched, and asked expectantly, "Master, what shall we eat tonight?"

"Let's keep it simple tonight. Some porridge, some cold cucumber salad, and some cold shredded chicken. It's light and nutritious." Gu Jiu replied with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.

But it sounded like none of these could satisfy Gu Ranle's empty stomach at the moment.

She rubbed her belly again, with a pleading look in her eyes: "Master, do you have any pancakes? Preferably the fragrant scallion pancakes."

Gu Jiu shook his head and said seriously: "It's good for your health to eat less at night. We must develop healthy eating habits."

"Grandpa, I'm still a child!" Gu Ranle shouted in dissatisfaction, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Gu Jiu rolled his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Yes, you are a 25-year-old boy, but you are still as greedy as a child."

Seeing this, Gu Ranle immediately hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "Master, it's okay if you don't want to eat scallion pancakes, but white steamed buns will be fine, right? Just give me one."

Gu Jiu pulled his arm back and said firmly, "There's nothing here. Eat it if you want. Go to the yard and move around."

Gu Ranle curled her lips. Although she was unhappy, she still walked out of the study while complaining.

She left in a hurry and her cell phone fell on the sofa.

Gu Jiu was about to turn around and go out when the cell phone on the sofa suddenly started flashing, the screen standing out particularly clearly under the dim light.

He walked over quickly, bent down and picked up the phone.

The screen showed an unfamiliar incoming call number, which made him frown.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Jiu pressed the answer button.

"Is that Gu Ranle?" A cold and mechanical male voice came from the phone.

Gu Jiu was slightly stunned and did not speak immediately.

The other party didn't seem to be in a hurry. After three seconds of silence, the mechanical voice sounded again: "It doesn't matter if you don't speak. Just listen to me."

"Gu Ranle, do you really think that you can be safe and sound just by returning to the real world? I tell you, you are too naive!"

"Now, you have two choices: one is to return to the world in the book, complete the tasks set by the system, and then return to the real world; the other is to die."

"I'll give you two hours to think about it. I'll call you back in two hours."

As the last word fell, the call was ruthlessly cut off, leaving only a busy tone echoing in the air.

Gu Jiu's face turned pale in an instant, with sparks of anger flashing in his eyes.

She actually dared to threaten his precious granddaughter in front of him. She must be tired of living!

He dialed the number back without hesitation, but got a cold "no number available" tone.

"Void number?" Gu Jiu frowned, an ominous premonition rising in his heart.

He is not very good at using electronic products and was muttering to himself: I was clearly able to make a call just now, how come the number became invalid in just a few seconds?

An intuition told him that things were far from that simple.

But right now, it's not important to go into those details.

He quickly pulled out his cell phone, tapped his fingers quickly on the screen, and dialed a familiar number.

"Junior sister, it's me, your ninth brother..."

Gu Jiu told the "junior sister" on the other end of the phone everything that had just happened, and also told her the mysterious number that instantly became an empty number.

"Okay, thank you, little junior sister. When you come back, please come to our house to eat delicious food. Lele talks about you every day. Say hello to Master for me and tell him that everything is fine with me." Gu Jiu's words were full of gratitude and trust.

Although Gu Jiu is not familiar with today's high-tech products, he has an extensive network of contacts.

Among the people he knew, there were many experts among experts.

This time, he must use the power of his connections to find out who is behind this and never let anyone hurt his beloved granddaughter!

Moreover, he didn't plan to tell Gu Ranle about this phone call for the time being.

The master said that since she came back, she had come back and there was no such thing as leaving.

He believed what his master said.

Gu Ranle wandered around the yard twice and then returned to the house.

Gu Xiaohei was squatting at the restaurant door. When he saw her come back, he immediately hid behind the door.

"Look at what you have accomplished!" Gu Ranle sneered.

Gu Jiu had already brought dinner to the restaurant. She washed her hands and went straight to the restaurant.

"Hey, Master, you lied to me!"

There is clear porridge, cold cucumber and cold shredded chicken, as well as scallion pancakes and small flower rolls.

They are all her favorites!

As a foodie, she has many favorites.

Gu Jiu snorted, "Hurry up and sit down to eat!"

Gu Ranle grabbed a scallion pancake and took a big bite. "Grandpa, I'll take you out for a ride after dinner."

"where to?"

"Riverside."

"it is good."
