Chapter 249 Letter from Thirty Years Ago

When he woke up again, Lin Hanzhi felt that Qi Gu in his arms was moving his body carefully, as if he wanted to get up without disturbing his sleep.

His chest was shaking and a smile was pouring out.

Qi Gu raised his head and asked, "Did I wake you up?"

"I woke up when I had enough sleep." There was a hint of ambiguity in Lin Hanzhi's tone.

Qi Gu accepted what he said, propped himself up and climbed out of his arms, and went straight to the toilet.

Not long after, Qi Gu came back, feeling cold, and got back into the soft duvet. He got very close to Lin Hanzhi, and at the same time turned on the screen of his mobile phone to check the time.

Ten o'clock.

It was obvious that I would not have the chance to have breakfast, so I might as well stay for a while and have lunch before setting off again.

Lin Hanzhi had no objection to Qi Gu's arrangement. She found the curtain switch at the head of the bed and pulled open the heavy curtains that blocked out the light from outside.

What meets the eye is a gray sky dotted with thick light gray clouds, and a rainy day is about to come.

I had already guessed it before opening the window, and now my guess about the bad weather has come true.

Qi Gu glanced at him and said, "Let's order an umbrella for takeout later."

Then she naturally pressed herself back into Lin Hanzhi's arms in the same position as when she woke up. When she leaned against him, her ears felt hot and red.

Lin Hanzhi's peach blossom eyes widened a little. She didn't expect Qi Gu to come closer to her on his own initiative. She subconsciously put her arms around his waist and hugged him.

Qi Gu put his face against his chest and said, "Don't move. I'll take a nap for a while."

He likes to stay in bed and is willing to stay in bed when he has nothing important to do. Lin Hanzhi's chest muscles are very perfect, and lying on them is much more comfortable than lying in the quilt. Of course, Qi Gu is willing to lie there longer and receive the benefits of being a boyfriend.

Lin Hanzhi said with a hint of smile: "Okay, you go to sleep, I'll order takeout. You liked yesterday's garlic abalone vermicelli very much, would you like another portion?"

Qi Gu rubbed his cheek against his chest twice as a response.

Lin Hanzhi was so touched by Qi Gu's cuteness that she wanted to order all the delicious food that Qi Gu had never eaten before.

He was ordering dishes conscientiously. Qi Gu, who should have fallen asleep, suddenly raised his head from his chest and said in a serious tone, "When we return to Province Z, should we stay at Fu'ai Temple or your place?"

Among the options he gave, none of them involved separating from Lin Hanzhi.

Lin Hanzhi raised the corner of his lips: "Come to my house, you took me to meet the master, but I haven't taken you to meet my family yet."

"They'd like you if they were still around."

Qi Gu agreed, and then nodded off and went back to sleep.

He slept for about an hour, and when he woke up, the takeaway had arrived. Lin Hanzhi took the initiative to unpack the takeaway, and Qi Gu got up to wash his face and brush his teeth.

*

It was one o'clock in the afternoon when they left the hotel. Lin Hanzhi, holding a black umbrella and wearing a black coat, walked side by side with Qi Gu, who was wearing a white sweatshirt.

The clouds outside the hotel were very unkind, and it started raining almost as the two stepped out of the revolving door of the hotel.

It was late autumn and there was no sun. When it started to rain, the chill seeped in like a leech through the cuffs of his sleeves, trouser legs and collar, causing Qi Gu to quickly retract his hands and stuff them into the large pockets of his sweatshirt.

Under the eaves of the hotel, strands of rain hung down, cold and icy like tiny needles.

It was a drizzle, but it came with the wind in a very tricky way, with an inclination. When holding an umbrella, you had to hold it at an angle to protect yourself from the drifting cold raindrops. Lin Hanzhi opened the umbrella and waved to Qi Gu, but Qi Gu misunderstood and subconsciously squeezed himself into the area circled by his wave.

Lin Hanzhi smiled silently and hugged his waist tightly.

"I've seen the address. It's less than a thousand meters from here. It only takes us a dozen minutes to walk there slowly." Lin Hanzhi introduced to Qi Gu.

Qi Gu's attention was on the back of his hand that was pale from the cold as he held the umbrella. "Let me take it. You are afraid of the cold anyway."

Lin Hanzhi wanted to say: He is not afraid of the cold, he just prefers warmth.

After all, he is just an ordinary man and cannot resist the slightest warmth.

"No need, I'll do it. You're not as tall as me, and it would be tiring to hold it up all the time." Lin Hanzhi gave a very practical reason.

The autumn rain fell softly, hitting the dead leaves piled on the road, making a rustling sound. There were not many pedestrians on the road, occasionally one or two, but they were all alone, and it didn't seem like they could keep each other company.

Turning from the asphalt road into a path that stretched upwards, with withered and yellow sycamore trees growing on both sides of the road, Lin Hanzhi tightened his grip on the umbrella with his fingertips, and veins on the back of his hand were obvious: "We're almost there."

There was a subtle tremor in his voice.

Qi Gu responded by holding the back of his cold hand with his warm palm: "Don't be afraid, we will face it together."

He looked serious, his almond-shaped eyes full of determination.

Lin Hanzhi: “Thank you.”

The two-story cottage with a courtyard was just around the corner. Finally, Qi Gu raised his hand and knocked on the black wooden door.

Then, a lively female voice was heard from inside, "Wait a moment", followed by the sound of people hurriedly packing up things.

About three minutes later, a girl in her early twenties appeared behind the door. She looked at the two people and said without asking any questions, "Are you here to look for my great-grandmother? You're here at last."

"My great-grandmother has been dead for more than ten years, but she said that someone would come to visit her around now, so she asked me to give this letter to you." The girl said, handing over a manila envelope.

Apparently the fortune teller had predicted this visit many years later, which is why she left the letter.

Qi Gu took the letter and said, "Thank you."

The girl waved her hands: "You're welcome. After all, it was my great-grandmother's idea. Besides, I like you two very much. I watched the ghost-detecting program..."

She has no talent in metaphysics, otherwise she should have inherited her great-grandmother's legacy.

After saying goodbye to the girl, Qi Gu took the umbrella and stopped under a huge banana leaf on the roadside with Lin Hanzhi. Lin Hanzhi took the yellowed letter and quickly opened it.

[Knowing that you would have a trip, the old woman wrote a letter in advance. In the past, the Lin family asked me to divine the auspicious and inauspicious directions, the shady places in China, etc. This calculation consumed a lot of my skills. At that time, I felt that the Lin family seemed to be preparing for something, and their target was these shady places. 】

[But I don’t know the details, I only know there are eight of these yin places, located in...]

[I have told you everything I know, and you need to investigate more on your own. 】

The witch was indeed a powerful one. No wonder even the Lin family had to find her to do divination about the underworld.

She even calculated that more than 30 years later, a descendant of the Lin family would come to her house, inquire about the situation, and mention leaving a letter.

Among the eight shady places she gave, the General's Mansion and Haigong Temple were among them, as well as... Wujiang. These places were all places that Lin Hanzhi knew and had been to, but the other five places were very strange.

Even in the records of the Abnormal Management Bureau in recent years, these places have never seen strong fluctuations of ghost energy.

It doesn't look like a shady place at all.
