Atlas of Heaven and Man

After entering the house, Chen Chuan took off his coat and began taking things out of his suitcase one by one. "Uncle, Aunt, I brought you a lot of things."

He picked up an aluminum tobacco box and handed it to Nian Fuli. "Uncle, this is high-quality tobacco, imported from Tayana."

As soon as Nian Fuli saw it, he immediately felt the urge to smoke, rubbing his hands together. "Tayana tobacco, I've always wanted to try it." He began to take out his pipe. "Xiao Chuan, I haven't used the pipe you gave me last time much. It's a perfect match for this…"

Chen Chuan smiled and took out a set of exquisite tea sets, as well as a set of Qingnang Yufang skincare products, saying, "Aunt, this is for you."

Originally, Molan was the strongest in the skincare product sector, but after the Molan company collapsed, its market and technology were divided up by various companies. Qingnang Yufang also got a piece of the pie, but currently, they only produce high-end products in limited quantities. As a test subject, he managed to get a copy.

Yu Wan said, "Chan'er, you already sent a lot of things last time. You spend a lot of money in Central City, so don't bring things back when you come back."

Chen Chuan said with a smile, "Aunt, I now have a position in the Administration Bureau and receive a salary. I don't have to pay for food and lodging at the academy, so I can buy you some things."

Nian Fuli then asked, "What position is it?"

Chen Chuan said, "A member of the Special Enforcement Team of the Administration Bureau."

Nian Fuli asked a few more questions, understood the situation, and said with emotion, "If you were to return to Yangzhi, the Patrol Bureau would at least give you a captaincy. If you calculate it that way, it's the same level as me."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "That can't be compared. I can only manage myself in the Administration Bureau, but Uncle manages thousands of people."

Nian Fuli sighed and said, "Alas, the salary hasn't increased much, but there are a lot of things to worry about. It's difficult." Yu Wan rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you find it tiring, let someone else do it."

"That won't do. So many brothers are counting on me, how can I quit…"

At this time, the younger cousins were jumping around beside Chen Chuan, saying, "Cousin, what about ours, what about ours?"

Chen Chuan said with a smile, "You won't be left out." He took out some of the remaining things from the bag. Besides the dolls that boys and girls liked, there were also some educational toys for children.

After giving the things to the two cheering little ones, he finally took out a cylindrical object wrapped in cloth and placed it on the table.

Yu Wan asked curiously, "Chan'er, what is this?"

Chen Chuan tore off the cloth, revealing a palm-sized cage with a colorful bird inside. He said, "This is a pocket parrot, which can welcome guests and announce good news. Keeping it at home can peck at various mosquitoes and insects."

This pocket parrot was something he purchased from the Secret Serpent Sect. They delivered it to his door after a notification. This thing is very easy to raise, has a long lifespan, and will specifically say good things about its owner.

However, the biggest function of this thing is actually to identify people. Whenever a familiar or unfamiliar guest enters, it will notify the owner one step ahead.

At this time, he held the cage and shook it gently. The parrot moved, opened its sleepy eyes, and when it saw the person in front of it looking at it, it immediately perked up, spread its wings, and said loudly, "Happiness and auspiciousness, happiness and auspiciousness…"

Yu Wan looked at it curiously, and even the two little ones, Nian Mo and Nian Lu, leaned over to watch Chaoming.

The pocket parrot was not afraid of people at all. It just flinched when it saw Chaoming's head approaching, but quickly puffed out its chest again. Its eyes drifted towards Nian Fuli and Yu Wan, as if asking for help, which immediately amused everyone.

Yu Wan said, "It's so hot these days, there are a lot of insects. Since it can catch flies and insects, let's keep this little thing. Chan'er, how long will you stay this time?"

Chen Chuan said, "About a month." He added, "Aunt, I have a car now, and I will come back to see you often in the future."

Nian Fuli said, "Besides studying, you also have errands to run. These things are important, so don't worry about us. Just give us a call. The road isn't short, and it's tiring to rush back and forth."

Yu Wan also said, "Chan'er, your uncle is right. Studying and running errands are not easy tasks. Rest more when you have time. You're always so serious when you get down to things, you need to take care of yourself."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I will take care of myself."

At noon, the family had a meal together. During the meal, they talked about the situation in Central City, but with two young children present, and to avoid Yu Wan from worrying too much, Chen Chuan didn't mention too many negative things, only talking about the general situation of Central City.

The strange world under the shroud of the biological field fascinated the aunt's family. Although they had occasionally heard rumors from Central City, they had never heard Chen Chuan describe it in such detail, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

After the meal, Nian Fuli said, "Accompany me for a walk."

Chen Chuan said okay.

The two of them came out of the house, greeted people along the way out of the alley, and walked towards the nearby park.

Nian Fuli took out his pipe, and Chen Chuan took out the lighter he had grabbed to light it for him. Nian Fuli waited for a while, took a light puff, and slowly exhaled, praising, "This taste is just right."

Walking slowly on the road, he said, "Now that Molan Company is gone and the Blood Scar Gang has been wiped out, there are fewer things happening in the city. The Iron Chain Gang is quite well-behaved, and the security in Yangzhi is much better than before."

"However, there have been many changes in the Patrol Bureau. Old Company Commander has been promoted and is now the Bureau Chief. Instructor Wen has also been transferred, and a new Chief Instructor has been replaced, but I can't quite see through this person. He always smiles at everyone, but his eyes are always watching people from behind."

He chuckled, "Now that Molan is gone, the higher-ups must be keeping an eye on our Patrol Bureau."

Nian Fuli slowly took a puff of smoke, "I heard that those island countries on the outer ocean are fighting every day. Xiao Qian called a few days ago, saying that his internship unit may be transferred there to garrison. It is estimated that he will not be able to come back for the New Year again."

Chen Chuan knew about this. The anti-government forces on the various islands of the outer ocean are emerging one after another, and the countries are not harmonious with each other. There are almost daily firefights, which can be said to be constant warfare.

He said, "The military equipment of the outer ocean islands is several levels lower than that of Dashun. My cousin graduated from school as an officer. The current tactics are different from the past. He doesn't need to personally go to the front line to fight. Uncle doesn't need to worry too much."

Nian Fuli shook his head and said, "Even going to the battlefield is nothing. If your uncle hadn't fought on the battlefield when he was young, he wouldn't be where he is today."

"It's you who needs to be careful in Central City. Although you didn't say it just now, your uncle knows that Central City is not a good place to stay. Don't worry about the family. Your uncle is still healthy and can last another twenty years. Just do your own thing."

Chen Chuan nodded.

Nian Fuli patted his head again and said, "That's right, I almost forgot one thing. A few days ago, a kid named Lu Ke made a phone call. He is Yu Gang's apprentice, right? He said he would give you their contact address." He groped for a moment and took out a piece of paper. "I wrote down his address."

Chen Chuan took it and glanced at it, "Thank you, Uncle."

Nian Fuli waved his hand and said, "Yu Gang originally had a case on his back, but the Iron Chain Gang helped to block the Blood Scar Gang above. His previous criminal record has also been cleared. This person knows how to advance and retreat, and he is also stable in his work. He was also your teacher. If you think it's okay, you can help him."

Chen Chuan nodded.

After turning around outside and returning home, Chen Chuan spent a lot of time talking with Yu Wan and returned to his room.

After leaving for more than half a year, the furnishings in the room were still the same as before, indicating that his aunt often cleaned it.

He took out the things he needed and packed them away. In the afternoon, he drove his younger cousins to the newly opened amusement park and also visited some of the places he used to frequent.

After returning home that day, he took a refreshing shower and went to bed.

The next morning, he got up early, went out and practiced boxing for a while to stretch his muscles and bones. After having breakfast with his aunt's family, he made a phone call to Ding Jiao, "Ding Jiao, this is Chen Chuan."

"Xiao Chuan… you're back?!" A loud voice came from the other end.

Chen Chuan said with a smile, "Yes, it's summer vacation, I'm back in Yangzhi."

"Oh, oh…" Ding Jiao exclaimed, "Xiao Chuan, you said you're back in Yangzhi, why didn't you say so earlier? We brothers should have welcomed you. Also, you've been to Central City for so long, you have to tell us about the things there, so that we brothers can brag about it in the future, right?"

Chen Chuan laughed. Ding Jiao was still the same as before, not changed at all. He said, "I only came back yesterday, so I'm calling you now, right? Let's arrange a time to get together, I'll be home for a month."

"Okay, okay, I'll notify people now, and I'll find you later." The other end hung up the phone in a hurry.

Chen Chuan smiled, and re-dialed a phone number, this time to Cheng Zitong, said after the connection: "Teacher, I am Xiao Chuan, um, just arrived home yesterday, is it convenient for the teacher now? Okay, then I will come over now."

He put on his hat, took some things he bought in Central City, and pushed the door out.

However, these things were only incidental. This time, he prepared a special gift, a strange tale record book based on the clues recorded in Central City, I believe Cheng Zitong will like it.

Getting into the car at the entrance of the alley, he drove towards Wuyi Academy.
