Chapter Fifty On the Road to the Mountain Gorge

  Except for the old man, the requirements of the other five people were relatively clear and easy to handle, so Tianqi handed them over to that family to deal with. There was also their mother who had passed away not long ago, and going to her grave to recite some words would be enough, because it was not long after she died, so such a situation would occur, similar to the so-called "returning soul night" in rural areas.

  Tian Qi is currently at his mentor's home.

  "Or I'll go with you." After hearing the whole story, Yuè Yǎn Míng knew that this trip was unavoidable, but facing a completely unknown situation, he still wasn't at ease.

  Tian Qi couldn't let the instructor follow him, although the instructor's body was still good, but after all, his age was already old and couldn't withstand the toss, let alone the instructor who studied theology, but his ability to catch ghosts was not strong, and more of it was still on theoretical.

  Yuè Yān Míng also understood this point, so after Tiān Qí refused, he didn't insist on going anymore, and it's likely that if he did go, he would have caused more trouble.

  "Dad, I want to go too!" Yinyin, who had been listening quietly beside them, couldn't help but exclaim.

  "Looked at his own, Yue Yanming helplessly shook his head, "Even if I don't let you go, you'll still sneak along, right? Anyway, your Ph.D. thesis topic has been decided, and it's related to this, so going is fine, but take care of yourself and don't trouble Tianqi and the others."

  The mentor actually said that, making Tian Qi extremely surprised. He used to be very strict with Yingying, and more than half of the times he scolded Ou Shen were not because of his studies, but because he secretly took Yingying out. What's going on today?

  Yingying's reflection and Tianqi are almost the same, although she will go no matter what, but it must be a big deal, her father actually agreed so easily, did the sun rise from the west?

  However, faced with their puzzled faces, Yuè Yān Míng didn't plan to answer and only said one sentence: "When children grow up, they will eventually have to walk their own path."

  Thus, after Chou Shen returned, the four of them set foot in Gu Lao Tou's hometown, a mountain valley unknown to outsiders.

  "Dad, I've already boarded the plane, and if everything goes smoothly, I'll be back in a few days. Don't worry!"

  Yuè Yǎn Míng received a text message from Yīng Yīng on his mobile phone, he gazed at a photo on the desk, it was a family portrait of three people, and he became somewhat absorbed in thought.

  "What's meant to happen will happen, no matter how I try to change it. Is this really fate?" Yue Yanming said, and he thought of a Tarot card reader friend he had found before returning to China, wanting to have his fortune told for Yingying.

  The road ahead of Yingying is destined to be bumpy, calmness does not belong to her. Moreover, Yingying's path can only be predicted halfway, and the remaining half is surprisingly blank.

  What does a blank slate mean, Moon Yiming doesn't know much about Tarot card divination, but he understands some basic knowledge. The more powerful the diviner is, the longer the time span of the predicted event will be and the higher the accuracy will be. His friend is almost there, but such a situation has occurred.

  Blankness does not represent death. If it were death, it would be the end of life, which should be a piece, but unexpectedly, it is a blank sheet.

  "Although I don't want to say this, Yingying might disappear."

  Yuè Yǎn Míng didn't tell Yīng Yīng about this matter. He didn't tell anyone, although it was a blank, but after all, it wasn't death.

  At this moment, Yingying, who was already on the plane, naturally did not know what her father was thinking about now. She was full of curiosity about where she was going to go.

  "Do you really trust that kid?" On the plane, Fatso was a bit unhappy because of Tan Yang, the person recruited by Tianqi. Since they were going to a relatively remote place and didn't know when they would be back, Fatso wanted to give Tan Yang a break.

  Of course, he wasn't worried that Tan Yang would be tired, but because the first and second floors were connected, although the rooms on the second floor were locked, some important things had been stored in the bank by Fatso, but there were still some more important things, he was afraid that Tan Yang would plot something.

  Tian Qi said that if you suspect someone, don't use them, and the purpose of hiring Tan Yang is to have someone to normally receive customers when they are not in the company. Although the contact time was short, Tian Qi thought this person was very reliable.

  "Alright, Fatty, forget about it. We have more important things to attend to." Yinyin intervened at the right moment to ease the tension.

  It's actually not a big deal, and Fatso wasn't really angry. As soon as Yingying said that, he immediately turned from cloudy to sunny.

  Yingying and Tianqi sat together, Pangzi and Chou Shen sat together. Chou Shen's position was against the window, he still maintained his silence as usual, especially after returning from the welfare institute, he became even more silent.

  Actually, Qiu Shen didn't gain nothing this time. If he had no father or mother, why would he be surnamed Qiu? He found out from the old principal that the person who sponsored him to study abroad was also surnamed Qiu. This person had been taking care of him since he entered the orphanage and was said to be a very wealthy boss.

  It's strange that the boss never showed up, not even the old principal had seen her, she only met his secretary twice in all these years, and other times it was just phone calls or bank transfers. Even so, she had instructed the principal not to reveal these things to Qiu Shen, just saying that someone was sponsoring them. If she hadn't grown older and Qiu Shen hadn't found her again, she would have never spoken about it in her lifetime, nor did she tell the new principal of the orphanage the truth later on.

  "I'm going to say something that might not sound nice, don't get angry. What kind of situation would lead to this? We never meet, but I still support your education and even studying abroad, which is no small amount of money. If there's no relationship, what reason is there for doing this, and why so secretly?" The fatty looked at Ouyang Shen who remained silent and couldn't help but speak up.

  "Fatty, don't talk nonsense!" Tian Qi knew what Fatty wanted to say, a normal person would have this guess.

  "What's there to hide, I despise irresponsible people the most. Either don't have kids or treat them well whoever they are with. Does he think money can make up for it? Besides..."

  "You say one more word and I'll throw you off this plane right now."

  As for what the fatty said, Chou Shen remained silent all along. This sudden sentence of his scared the fatty into shutting up immediately. From his tone, the fatty could sense that Chou Shen was truly capable of doing it.

  Tian Qi knew that Qiu Shen was really angry, but the doubts in his heart grew even stronger. Zhang Xin had said it before, and Fourth Master had also said it: Qiu Shen wasn't an ordinary person, and might not even be a person from this world. So what was going on with this benefactor who had been supporting him since childhood but refused to meet him? When would the mystery of Qiu Shen's origins finally be unraveled?

  With something on his mind, time seemed to pass quickly. The plane flew for a total of four hours, and Tian Qi felt like it had only been flying for a short while before they arrived.

  After getting off the plane, several people took a taxi to rush to the local bus station. They have only walked half of the way so far, and the road ahead will not be as comfortable as taking a plane.

  The road became more and more rugged, bumpy, uneven, and Fatso was the first to get carsick, vomiting all over the place.

  "I'm telling you, big brother and sister, I can't take it anymore, I want to get off the car!" The fat guy was about to vomit out his gallbladder, his face turning pale one moment and white the next, feeling extremely uncomfortable, finally unable to bear it and struggling to get off the car.

  The other three people are not much better off, except for Tian Qi who is slightly better, and Qiu Shen and Yingying are also barely holding on.

  After a brief discussion, the four people got off the car.

  "My god, I feel like I've been reborn!" The fatty sat on the ground with a thud, no longer dizzy, breathing in fresh air, feeling much more comfortable.

  Several people stayed in place for over ten minutes, drank some water and recovered a bit of energy. Tian Qi started looking towards one end of the road.

  When they were getting down, the driver said that it would take more than an hour to get to their destination from here. That was under the condition of driving a car. If they walked, considering everyone's current state, it would be fast if they could arrive in two hours. So he wanted to see if there were any passing vehicles that could give them a ride.

  However, after observing for a while, Tian Qi discovered that there wasn't a single car in half a day, nor was there even a shadow of a person.

  "It seems that bus is probably the only one that comes here." Qiu Shen said.

  "Never mind, let's just walk ahead first, maybe a car will come by soon." Yingying was indeed born optimistic.

  After walking for about twenty minutes, the fat man behind them suddenly pointed at their back and shouted: "Look, is that a horse-drawn carriage coming over there?"
