(After seventeen hours of train travel that felt like a battle, I finally got home, fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, and just woke up now. Here is a chapter, and two more will be delivered tonight.)
"Old man, don't worry too much. Qian Wang and I were good buddies back in school. When I have a chance, I'll come visit again. Oh, and here are some Evil Repelling Talismans. Take these for your family; they should help keep them safe," I said as I reached into my pocket and pulled out a stack of talismans to hand over.
"Heh, I knew I couldn't make you stay. Okay, I'll take these. Wangwang had mentioned them before, but I never expected... How about this? I won't just take these talismans for free; let's say I bought them from you. Here's some money, take it," Qian Wang's grandfather still seemed intent on giving me the money, so he went with the flow and gave in to my earlier suggestion.
