Back to the City 1978: Starting from the Utility Room

In 1978, educated youth Han Yu returned to Beijing. Home is gone. His father, Han Zhengqing, the former director of a heavy machinery factory, "committed suicide out of fear of crime" while he was in the countryside, and his mother also died. The ancestral home was occupied by his second uncle, and he was stuffed into the utility room. His household registration, job, and a full meal were all luxuries. The night I was sorting out my parents' belongings, a drop of blood fell on the wordless book left by my grandfather. The book comes alive. It can swallow gold, silver, antiques, and spit out the secrets of the world. Han Yu used it in exchange for the first thing - the eye of the world: he could see the afterimages of time remaining on the utensils, and he could see the steaming desire of living people. What exactly is it? Relying on these eyes, he picked up leaky copper furnaces, made friends with merchants, and regained his ancestral home. But when he got his father's last letter, everything had just begun. The origin of the "second uncle" who lured the wolf into the house was originally a mystery. Unemployed young people in the market fight fiercely, and the undercurrent on the eve of reform and opening up appears on the surface, but there is a hand controlling everything in the dark: a monk with a shrunken left hand, a black bowl engraved with Sanskrit, and a name called "Guixu". His childhood sweetheart is waiting for him to take her home at a farm in Gansu. The brother who has shared weal and woe has been stabbed for him, and Han Yu must be one step faster than his enemies - to find the ledger, uncover the truth, and blaze a bloody trail in the gap between the old and the new era. "Wordless Booklet" is growing. The otherworldly pupil is upgrading.
