Chapter 118 Can’t Say

The moist water vapor after the rain was carried by the night wind and blew towards his face. Qi Gu's profile looked lonely against the backdrop of the indoor light behind him.

Lin Hanzhi noticed his emotions and saw his slightly red eyes: "You and him..."

Qi Gu hurriedly stopped Lin Hanzhi from saying the next thing and shook his head slightly at him.

Lin Hanzhi realized that it was not easy to speak directly about this matter, so he understood and said nothing more. Instead, he said cryptically, "You have a good relationship with your master, right? I remember you placed a shrine outside the Fu'ai Temple, and inside the shrine is a statue of your master. Netizens say that praying to him for things within the jurisdiction of the underworld is very effective."

"Well, he is my only relative. He raised me and worked hard to support me and let me live a life similar to other children. One year, I was greedy for the peaches that the villagers at the foot of the mountain could eat, so he bought a peach tree even though he didn't know how to grow trees. He said that he wanted me to be able to eat peaches from his own garden in the future." The scene unfolded before his eyes, and Qi Gu thought of the old man's serious and boastful face again. "It's a pity that he is just a useless farmer. The peaches he grows are sour and bitter."

Tears rolled down Qi Gu's eyes, falling down her fair cheeks and onto her cheeks, about to fall off.

Lin Hanzhi seemed to be bewitched by that tear. She rubbed Qi Gu's cheek lightly and quickly with her bent finger knuckles, drying the tear between her fingers.

"It's all fine now, isn't it?" Lin Hanzhi's tone was unnaturally gentle. He actually wanted to rub Qi Gu's head, or hold his face and wipe his tears, but those seemed too intimate for friends.

"Yeah." Qi Gu said, "I just don't know if there will be a day when we will meet again."

"It will happen," Lin Hanzhi raised her face, letting the night wind brush along her cheeks and messing up her hair. "When I was a kid, I liked sitting on the rooftop like this and enjoying the breeze. There was no one else there, only me. When I closed my eyes and stood on the edge, imagining falling, I felt like a bird diving down."

Qi Gu frowned and turned his head to look at him.

The first half can be said to be about Lin Hanzhi enjoying the freedom of being alone, but the second half sounds somewhat self-destructive.

When he first met Lin Hanzhi, he couldn't see through the other person's fate and experience. However, Qi Gu had encountered such a situation before. There are always some people in this world whose fate is strange and can't be easily seen through.

But from what Lin Hanzhi had revealed before, he must have had a wealthy family with love from elders when he was young. So what kind of thing could have happened to make a child want to jump off the roof?

As if sensing what Qi Gu was thinking, Lin Hanzhi smiled and said, "Not anymore. You see, as long as people keep moving forward, they can always find a way out of desperate situations. Perhaps this is similar to the saying in metaphysics called annual luck. Just like every twenty years, the feng shui changes, whether it is good or bad, it is fluid and uncertain."

Qi Gu was stunned when he heard him talk about the passing years. He wanted to say a few more words about the passing years, but then he realized that the other party was trying to comfort him and didn't want to listen to his popular science. He quickly swallowed what he shouldn't have said and just said, "Thank you."

"Then can I understand that my words make you feel better?" Lin Hanzhi raised the corners of her peach blossom eyes.

"Well... let's take a break. You need more rest." Qi Gu said.

The two men entered the house, closed the balcony door, and returned to the small shared room. In the room, Pubugesang and Miao Yue were already fast asleep on the simple beds on the floor.

"Shh." Qi Gu, who opened the door, made a gesture to Lin Hanzhi to keep quiet, and then walked on the front of his feet to keep his voice as low as possible.

Lin Hanzhi also followed his example, acting like two new parents who secretly dropped their children off to have fun and only returned home late at night.

After a slight rustling sound, Qi Gu asked softly, "Shall we squeeze in?"

The village chief's house has limited quilts, and only one is enough for two or three people.

Normally, quilts are not needed in the summer, but the thick yin energy in Huaishui Village at night has not yet dissipated, and the temperature is no different from that in late autumn.

"good."

So the two of them crawled into the same bed, looked into each other's eyes, elbows against elbows, shoulders against shoulders.

Qi Gu moved to the side uncomfortably: "Good night."

"Good night." Lin Hanzhi replied.

Qi Gu did not sleep well that night and had a nightmare. He dreamed that he was entangled by a prehistoric giant octopus and dragged into the deep sea. He wanted to cast a spell but his hands and feet were tightly bound. He could not struggle and could only be dragged down and sink.

Feeling that the air in his chest and nasal cavity was being squeezed out and the oxygen was at its last moment, Qi Gu screamed and suddenly opened his eyes, but the feeling of being entangled and squeezed in the dream did not disappear.

He thought to himself, how dare a monster come and cause trouble in front of him?

Then he raised his head with great effort, and saw the "monster" who had his head resting on his shoulder, with sleepy eyes and a pair of charming peach blossom eyes: "Good morning."

Lin Hanzhi realized later that she was asleep, and she curled herself up little by little and burrowed into Qi Gu's arms, with her head resting on his arm and her calves resting on his lower abdomen.

Lin Hanzhi paused strangely, and his consciousness began to return. Then he felt that the area below Qi Gu's abdomen was hotter than other parts of his body.

Qi Gu's temples were throbbing. He had an average sleeping posture, but Lin Hanzhi would push himself into someone else's arms after falling asleep. What kind of bad habit was this? ? ?

It's fine if you just stuff it in randomly, but why are you also rubbing it around?

"Move aside." Qi Gu's beautiful cheeks flushed but her expression was cold, and her voice was much hoarser than before.

Lin Hanzhi knew that he was in the wrong, so he quickly turned over and got off Qi Gu.

Qi Gu took a deep breath and went straight to the toilet.

Because of this little episode, Qi Gu felt awkward towards Lin Hanzhi throughout the day and always avoided eye contact and physical contact with her.

Although morning ejaculation is a normal physiological phenomenon, Qi Gu still felt embarrassed. After all, Lin Hanzhi's calves were resting on his lower abdomen at that time!

When Qi Gu came out of the toilet, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to look. His earlobes were red. He said with a straight face, "I'll go downstairs to see how the villagers are doing. You go wash up."

Then they walked out the door hand in hand.

Downstairs, Mu Xingchen fell asleep with his head resting on the square table in the living room, with a wood grain mark on his forehead. The villagers also fell to the ground in a scattered manner. Their skin color had returned to normal, and the dirty things on the ground had been cleaned up by the hardworking Village Chief Xu and Fang Heng who got up early.

Qi Gu pushed Mu Xingchen and said, "Go back upstairs if you want to sleep."

Mu Xingchen was sleeping in a daze. He rubbed his eyes and felt that he was still dreaming, so he fell asleep again.

Qi Gu: “…”

The live broadcast on Mu Xingchen's mobile phone on the table had stopped long ago because it was out of battery, so Qi Gu picked up the phone and helped charge it, so that this stupid apprentice would not be without a phone on the road and make his family and friends worry.

After dealing with all this, Qi Gu woke up the villagers on the ground one by one to see if they were awake or not.

The villagers were all normal and had forgotten everything that happened after drinking the water. When Qi Gu asked them further, they could only remember a vague outline, which was not very clear.

For ordinary people, it's fine.

Qi Gu gave the remaining incense ash water to the villagers who had children at home and had fed the water to their children but whose children were not old enough to participate in the water sacrifice, and asked them to let their children drink it.

One of the parents looked very similar to the child who had previously made a tombstone for Fang Yuanwang. Qi Gu guessed that they should be his parents, so he gave them an extra good luck charm.

The little boy was also unlucky. He was chosen by Bai Yu at the beginning and would have died by coincidence in the mudslide. However, Fang Yuanwang saved him and the coincidence ended. Bai Yu could no longer harm him. But who knew that the boy's parents were half a water corpse, so that the boy who had already escaped from Bai Yu's control was chosen by the banyan tree again.

He went through the same three years of nightmare as the other villagers, but suffered double the torture.

The villagers thanked Qi Guhao profusely and then left one after another.

As soon as they left, the weasel appeared and said shyly to Qi Gu: "Master, I made boiled chicken for you, come and try it~"

It looks like it has learned all the tricks of the brothel without any instruction, which makes people wonder whether it is a fox spirit or a weasel.
