Chapter 208 Talisman Bracelet

It wasn't just Qi Gu who didn't sleep tonight. Miao Yue obviously couldn't sleep either. She was anxious to read Lin Hanzhi's front-line battle report.

But after that phone call, she never received any response to the messages she sent, which made Miao Yue wonder if Brother Qi was really so angry that he beat Lin Hanzhi so hard that she couldn't get up and didn't even have the strength to answer the phone?

If that's the case...should I make a phone call to express my condolences?

Miao Yue thought so and dialed the phone with hesitation.

There was a rustling sound of wind and rain outside the house. The drainage system in the courtyard was working, and there was the sound of rain water flowing through the ditches to the low-lying areas.

Not long after Lin Hanzhi fell asleep, it started raining on Fuai Mountain.

The cell phone he placed on the carpet suddenly lit up and vibrated to attract Qi Gu's attention. Qi Gu hurriedly picked up the phone. He originally wanted to see who was calling and decide whether to wake up Lin Hanzhi. However, because there was a talisman painted with cinnabar on his hand, the tail of the talisman accidentally rubbed the answer button and the call was connected.

Qi Gu had no choice but to raise the phone to his ear and lower his voice: "Hello? Hello."

Just as she was about to explain to the other end that Lin Hanzhi had fallen asleep and that she had answered the call by mistake, Miao Yue let out a loud exclamation into the phone, followed by a series of meaningless interjections.

"Brother Qi, why are you the one answering the phone?" Miao Yue finally calmed down after going crazy for three minutes, allowing Qi Gu to move the speaker back to his ear.

"He's asleep. I was busy with something and answered the phone accidentally. Can I wake him up for you?" Qi Gu still kept his tone low while speaking, his eyes always fixed on the sleeping Lin Hanzhi.

"No, no... I just called to ask, have you... made up? It's the same if I ask you." Miao Yue said hurriedly, like a child meeting his stepfather for the first time.

"We didn't have a quarrel. I just felt something was wrong a long time ago." Qi Gu explained.

"I'm sorry." Miao Yue felt that although Qi Gu didn't mind, she still had to apologize.

"I accept it. Don't take it to heart." Qi Gu covered Lin Hanzhi's pale face with his eyes. "When did you meet him? Can you tell me what he was like at that time? Let's talk on WeChat."

Qi Gu kept speaking in a low voice and felt that if he continued chatting like this, he would turn into a hissing snake.

[Sister's knife is very sharp: Brother Qi, it's me]

[Sister’s knife is very sharp: If you ask this, I won’t be sleepy anymore. I have known the boss for more than ten years...]

Miao Yue talked about all the good and bad things about Lin Hanzhi's childhood like pouring out beans, and she said everything she knew. In the end, she emphasized: "For so many years, I have never felt that Brother Lin was as angry as he is now. Although he used to talk nonsense and laugh, he always felt like he was separated from this world by a layer, as if he was not a person living in this world and could leave at any time... But that feeling has been much less since I met you, Brother Qi."

[Sister's knife is very sharp: Anyway, I hope you are all fine]

From Miao Yue's words, Qi Gu pieced together an image of a little Lin Hanzhi who made him feel distressed and pity. He imagined that the young Lin Hanzhi had several bone blades hidden between his sleeves, walking alone on the vast land of the motherland, searching for traces of evil spirits.

I wonder if he has ever looked through the gray dirt on the car windows during his countless journeys, at the houses outside the window, the rising smoke from the cooking fires, and the meaning of "home" that was represented behind them.

Just thinking about it, I feel a throbbing pain in my heart. It's not the kind of severe pain, but a continuous pain. The more I think about it, the more sad the pain becomes.

Miao Yue was afraid that Qi Gu would look down on Lin Hanzhi, so after applying the eye drops, she felt that it was almost done and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

She had just let out a sigh of relief when she felt something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was really wrong.

Why...after the two confessed their true feelings to each other, it was the dog boss who fell asleep first? ? ?

This is extremely terrifying if you think about it carefully, and it is also terrifying if you think about it roughly.

The boss is actually the one below...?

It’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover.

Lin Hanzhi was not very obedient when he was asleep, and he often harassed Qi Gu in his sleep. Sometimes he would put his wrists on Qi Gu's ankles, and sometimes he would rub his face on Qi Gu's thighs, just like a cat seeking attention. But whenever Qi Gu felt that he was wasting time and touched his back, Lin Hanzhi would quickly be quiet for a while, as if he was pretending to be asleep.

Totally a cat.

The rune has been almost disassembled, and Qi Gu is confident that he can succeed in one go, but... talismans are easily damaged and too easy to lose. After all, if they are folded into a small triangle, it is easy to take them out when taking things out, and if they are not folded, it is even easier to get dirty and damaged. The most important point is that Qi Gu feels that such an important token should be kept in a form that is closer to the body.

As we all know, Qi Gu has a touching taste and loves the combination of red and green. After much thought, he finally came up with the shape of the talisman carrier.

I don't know if it was because I sensed Miao Yue's action of pointing 1 to 0 from afar, but Lin Hanzhi woke up to the white noise of the crisp sound of rain hitting the eaves and water flowing through the courtyard. In the dim light, I saw an orange night light on the low table that was still on, casting a warm filter in the house.

Qi Gu maintained the same posture as Lin Hanzhi before he fell asleep, with his eyes lowered, concentrating on the object at hand.

But it was no longer yellow talisman paper and cinnabar, but an object similar to a bracelet.

Qi Gu's cold face softened when he noticed the subtle movement beside him. He turned his head slightly and asked, "Why are you awake now?"

Perhaps because it was late at night, he subconsciously lowered his voice, sounding even gentler.

There was an atmosphere that felt like a couple gossiping behind closed doors, and this atmosphere undoubtedly made Lin Hanzhi feel her breathing tighten.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet? Let's do it tomorrow. It's not too late." Lin Hanzhi couldn't help but speak in the same tone as Qi Gu, not wanting to break the warm atmosphere of the moment.

"It's done." Qi Gu said.

Lin Hanzhi immediately raised his head and looked through the coffee table at the object in Qi Gu's hand.

There were two bracelets strung together with transparent silk threads, each with half a jade pendant. Put together, they looked like a picture of mandarin ducks embracing each other. Next to the jade pendants were intertwined green jade beads and red southern red beads. About four or five beads apart, a piece of yellow talisman paper the same size as the jade pendant hung there. The talisman paper was covered with densely packed spells painted in cinnabar, and its complexity was comparable to that of an SCI article written on a page of paper.

Red, green, yellow... a very explosive color combination.

Fortunately, the saturation of these three colors is not very high, so it doesn’t look strange when put on the same bracelet. Instead, there is an indescribable unique beauty.
