Chapter 261: The Underwater Tomb of Huai'an River
Jing Ping has recently been trying his best to compete with Anonymous for the title of the strongest butler. Less than ten minutes after Lin Hanzhi ordered the food, he pushed a cart full of food to the door and knocked on it. After getting Lin Hanzhi's permission, Jing Ping unlocked it and entered.
It was clearly winter, but the windows in the house were wide open, and the fresh and cold wind made the curtains rustle. Qi Gu sat on the bed wrapped in a duvet, and Lin Hanzhi put on a long down jacket. He nodded gently to Jing Ping: "Just put it down, there's nothing else to do."
Jing Ping is a professional housekeeper. Looking at Qi Gu, who was wrapped in a quilt with flushed cheeks, Lin Hanzhi, who seemed indifferent but had burning ears, and the wide-open window, he quickly deduced what had happened in this room.
No wonder, no wonder I ordered two servings of brown sugar eggs this morning.
Jing Ping pushed up his glasses and smiled, "Okay sir, call me anytime if you need anything."
Then he bowed gracefully and left the room.
When Jing Ping left, Qi Gu breathed a sigh of relief: "He shouldn't have smelled it, right?"
Last night, when the two came back, they were so excited that they fell asleep right after they were done. They didn't even think of turning on the fresh air system to purify the room from the smell that others would notice was wrong. After Lin Hanzhi finished ordering, Qi Gu finally realized what had happened. It was too late to turn on the fresh air, so the two had to open the windows to let the biting winter wind blow away the smell in the room.
Lin Hanzhi thought to herself that Jing Ping was such a smart guy, so how could he not understand? However, Jing Ping was smart enough not to point it out, so Lin Hanzhi naturally followed suit: "Probably not. The room smells quite fresh now. It's all because of your good command."
Qi Gu nodded his cap like a small mushroom planted on the bed, and his attention was completely shifted to the dining table: "What was sent?"
Lin Hanzhi wrapped herself in a down jacket and began to conscientiously act as a housekeeper, reading out the names of the dishes: "Bubble wontons, lava custard buns, crystal shrimp dumplings, taro pork ribs... brown sugar eggs."
Qi Gu:! ! !
The slight discomfort in his body suddenly became weaker and weaker, almost completely non-existent. He pushed down the duvet, grabbed a coat beside him and put it on in the cold wind, then walked to the chair next to the dining car and sat down.
Lin Hanzhi hurriedly closed the wide-open window, fearing that Qi Gu would catch a cold... After all, he had spent a lot of time in the bathroom last night and was prone to catching a cold.
Qi Gu selected a few of his favorite breakfasts according to his taste and started eating. Lin Hanzhi took a bowl of brown sugar eggs, tasted them, took a sip, thought they were well done, and asked Qi Gu if he wanted to try it.
Qi Gu still remembered the man's joke and didn't want to eat it. But after the cold wind, a bowl of hot brown sugar eggs looked very tempting. So after hesitating for a few seconds, Qi Gu turned sideways and opened his slightly swollen lips to Lin Hanzhi.
Lin Hanzhi originally just wanted to give the remaining bowl of Amway to Qi Gu, but he didn't expect that he would actually eat from his bowl directly, without any shyness. His heart felt as warm as the brown sugar egg in front of him. He hurriedly scooped up a spoonful of egg and brown sugar water, blew it carefully until it was at the right temperature before bringing it to Qi Gu's lips.
Qi Gu leaned forward a little and drank it, and soon his eyes lit up: "It tastes good."
"Try this crystal shrimp dumpling. It has some shredded seaweed in it, and it tastes especially fresh." Qi Gu also picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it to Lin Hanzhi's lips.
Young couples in the passionate love stage are sweeter than brown sugar. By the time they help each other finish a meal, they themselves feel a little too sick of each other.
It's not like you have any mobility problems, so why do you have to be fed?
But, I just want to be closer, more entangled, and I wish I could rub the other person into my bones and blood.

After a quick wash, Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi, who were on leave today, crawled back into bed and huddled together warmly. Qi Gu took out the colored glaze bone from the purple gold gourd and put the piece he just got from Bai Yu on top of it. The shape of the skull became more complete, but it was still missing a lot.
The bright spots of light still flow on the glass bones, pointing to the bottom of the river.
Qi Gu thought back to what Bai Yu did last night: "Last night, she must have really wanted to destroy this piece of glass bone. According to Bai Yu's personality, if she knew she was going to die, what she would want to do most would be to make other people suffer... So if the glass bone is damaged, the ones who really need to bear the consequences are most likely us? Or perhaps most ordinary people?"
Lin Hanzhi proposed a new possibility: "We all think that this glass bone is used by evil spirits and is not a good thing. It should be destroyed. But in fact, as a tool, it itself is neither good nor evil. It depends on how the person who uses it thinks and what he does."
Qi Gu: "Perhaps this glass bone will be of great use in the future."
Lin Hanzhi nodded.
Qi Gu gathered his five fingers together, put the glass bone back into the purple gold gourd, and then said to Lin Hanzhi: "The final address is in Huai'an River, right?"
"Well, there..."
Qi Gu raised his long eyelashes and looked at Lin Hanzhi: "I remember you told me that you had a long-term mission there. Is that right?"
Lin Hanzhi, who used to be talkative in front of Qi Gu, seemed silent at this moment, as if he didn't know how to start. He frowned and remained silent for a long time before he slowly said, "You also know that the Alien Management Bureau is a special department newly established decades ago because of the disturbance of ghosts and monsters. But in fact, before that, when China was still in the dynasty era, there were official organizations with functions that matched the Alien Management Bureau, such as the Si Tian Jian. Most modern people believe that the Si Tian Jian was a department established by ancient emperors in order to centralize power and create a divine right of kings and that they were the ones who were destined by heaven. But in fact, in some dynasties, the Si Tian Jian did play a very important role and sacrificed many people. The sorcerers at that time believed that the bodies of sorcerers killed by ghosts and monsters would also cause chaos after death, so they buried the bodies of all the sorcerers who died at the hands of ghosts and monsters at the bottom of the Huai'an River to suppress them."
"After the establishment of the Abnormal Management Bureau, the former director re-implemented this set of rules—"
Qi Gu suddenly asked, "Isn't cremation being promoted now?"
"According to the records of the Abnormal Management Bureau, in the beginning, those sorcerers who died at the hands of ghosts were indeed cremated, but that did not get rid of the bodies. Instead, they lost their bodies and became invisible and silent, becoming a strange existence between ghosts and corpses, which was extremely difficult to deal with. Since then, the former director of the bureau has done painstaking research and found the documents of the previous dynasty's Sitianjian, and found a way to bury the sorcerers' bones under the Huai'an River."
There are two bodies of water that span a wide area within China's borders, one is the Yangtze River and the other is the Yangtze River. They represent the destiny of the country. It is natural that there is nothing wrong in using the destiny of the country to suppress the rebellious corpses.
