Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 34

Looking at the WeChat message that popped up, my heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly clicked on the chat box.

"Huang Li, it's bad! Grandpa is gone. I really don't know what to do now."

"Don't panic, can you tell me what happened? Why did Mr. Qi suddenly disappear?"

"Is it convenient for you now? Let's talk by voice!"

"it is good!"

As soon as the message was sent, Xinran's voice call had already come.After I clicked to answer, Xin Ran's familiar voice came from the phone, but her tone was so irritable at the moment, I could feel her anxiety through the phone.

"Can you hear it? Can you hear it?" she asked anxiously.

"Okay, okay, what happened to Mr. Qi's disappearance?"

Xinran paused for a moment, and then began to talk about the things after Linzi's separation: "After we parted that afternoon, I went back to Anshan, Liaoning with my grandfather. At first, everything was normal, but then my grandfather became a little strange. He often I locked myself in the study room by myself. One day I saw that the door was open, so I took a peek and found that my grandfather seemed to be looking for something on the Internet. After he left, I logged on to the browser, only to find that the browsing history had been deleted gone."

"And what happened next?" I asked.

She continued: "Later, a few days ago, Grandpa suddenly told me to go back to the old house to deal with some matters. I wanted to be with him, but Grandpa was firm and asked me to stay here, saying that I would wait. He came back after finishing the treatment. He also called his junior sister to accompany me. But he didn’t hear from him for several days. I made a call the day before yesterday and found that grandpa’s cell phone was turned off. It was the same yesterday, and I just called again I checked it again, but it still turned off. I am very worried about Grandpa’s situation, and such a situation has never happened before, what should I do now?”

The "old house" mentioned by Xinran reminded me of Qi Lao's letter, which mentioned that if something happened to him, please tell Xinran that he left things in the old house.Thinking of this incident, I continued to ask for some details: "Since Mr. Qi told you to go back to the old house, do you know where the old house is?"

He said happily: "I know, the old house is in Luoyang, and I lived there before. When I went to Linzi some time ago, my grandfather went directly from the old house, and Uncle Yu and I set off from Anshan. It's just me I don’t know why Grandpa suddenly returned there, and why he lost contact.”

"Apart from Mr. Qi, is there anyone living in the old house now? Do you have the key to the old house?" In my opinion, the old house is an important clue. If you can get the things left by Mr. Qi, maybe you can figure it out Old Qi's whereabouts.

Xin Ran replied: "The old house is usually unoccupied, but I have a key. Why do you suddenly ask this?"

I explained: "Do you still remember the letter that Mr. Qi in the tomb gave me? He wrote in it that if he had an accident, let me convey it to you. He left something in the old house. Now these Things may be important clues, if you can get them, maybe you can find out where Qi Lao is going."

The other end of the voice call fell silent. After a while, Xinran spoke again: "Huang Li, can you go to the old house with me? I know it's selfish. You may be very busy and have your own things to do." Do...but I really don't know who else to turn to."

Listening to Xinran's choking voice, I also fell into an ideological struggle.

Now I just submit resumes and prepare for interviews every day, which is boring and boring, and I still get disgusted by them when I stay at home all the time.Although finding a job and going to work honestly is the right way, but such a life without passion has never been what I want.

Now that Xinran has encountered a problem, it might be a good choice to take this opportunity to go for a walk.And this time it's not going to the tomb like last time, so there shouldn't be any danger.

"Okay, when shall we leave?"

Seeing that I readily agreed, Xinran was very excited: "Thank you! Thank you so much! I think if we can't contact Grandpa by noon tomorrow, we will each book the earliest flight and go directly to Luoyang to meet up."

"Just the two of us this trip?" Thinking about the last time I asked this question, or the formal meeting at the hotel, I couldn't help but suppress a smile and asked.

"There's also Junior Sister." Xin Ran replied, "She's called Jiesheng. In fact, strictly speaking, she just learned Fengshui from her grandfather, and she didn't know much about going to the tomb. Anxious, always pestering me, so I am going to take her with me, there are more people than strength.”

"She can also do fortune-telling, why don't you let her do the math, maybe she can get some clues?" After all, a famous teacher produces a high-level apprentice, and since he is a disciple of Mr. Qi, his level should not be much worse.

After listening to Xin Ran, she said: "Junior Sister has already calculated. The hexagram image is the need for water and sky in the Kun hexagram. It goes up and down, and points to the southwest. And the old house is in the southwest direction of us. It seems that Grandpa should have returned. Old house. It’s just that my sister also said that this hexagram implies that there is water in the place where Grandpa is going, and it is the hexagram of the wandering soul of Kun Palace. It is a different hexagram. Look, life and death are uncertain, not a good sign. That's why I'm extra worried about grandpa's safety."

"Don't worry, if you still can't contact Mr. Qi tomorrow, I will book a ticket to Luoyang." I comforted.

After thanking you repeatedly, Xinran hung up the voice call.

Thinking about it, there is a high probability that I will fly to Luoyang tomorrow, and I have made some preparations in advance.

I lied to my family that I found an intern job in another place, and with my classmates with me, they would feel more at ease.To be honest, after staying at home for so long, they are tired of watching me. They should be happy that I went to another place for an internship.

After explaining the situation to them at night, as expected, they agreed boldly.

After dinner, I packed my things for a long time, but I couldn't stop thinking about the whereabouts of Mr. Qi.Qi Lao's sudden disappearance is like a mystery, which is hard to see and understand.

That night, I tossed and tossed for a long time before I fell asleep. In my dream, I came to a dark tomb.There is a very long corridor in front of the tomb chamber. Looking inwards with the light on, a group of figures are moving slowly, and their posture is very similar to the zongzi I saw before.

They are gradually approaching me...

I retreated instinctively, but there was no way behind.The group of figures was getting closer and closer to me. When I saw the face of the leader, I couldn't help but yelled and woke up suddenly.

The zongzi that was the leader just now had the face of old Qi.
