Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 103

After finishing his ward rounds, Dr. Fan Shulin returned to his duty room, leaned back in his chair and stretched out.

"Ah~ I'm so sleepy."

I had a class reunion last night, and after it ended I had a small private chat with two of my former best classmates. We wanted to chat for a while before going home, but one of them suddenly had tears in his eyes and talked about his emotional problems. All I and the other could do was listen and help analyze the situation.

The three of them chatted until almost dawn, which made him feel very tired as he was working the night shift.

Fan Shulin pulled out the bottom drawer of his desk, uncovered the newspaper covering it, and took out a magazine with an exposed cover.

Looking at it,

Ok,
Energetic.

"Dodo dodo!"

There was a knock on the door.

"coming."

Fan Shulin opened the door and was stunned when he saw the person coming. Then he moved his eyes almost habitually and looked behind the person. Sure enough, there was someone on his back!
Damn it, this is just a medical room, not the Municipal People’s Hospital or the Provincial Hospital.

"Brother Fan, you are still on night shift. It seems that your leader attaches great importance to your training."

"Send him to a big hospital. This is the school infirmary!"

"Don't worry, Brother Fan, you are a miraculous doctor who can bring people back to health. If anyone has a headache or a fever, we will definitely come to you."

"When have you ever brought me a headache or a fever?"

"He got hit on the head and has a fever."

"If something goes wrong with the treatment, I can't take the responsibility."

"My brother Fan is really humble and modest."

Fan Shulin sighed. He knew that he couldn't beat the guy in front of him. After all, he had failed the previous two times. This time, he was too lazy to struggle.

"Go next door."

"Yes."

Lin Shuyou was placed on the operating table by Tan Wenbin, and Fan Shulin began to treat his wounds.

The first time he was very frightened, the second time he was very nervous, and the third time, which was right now, he actually found himself quite calm.

The main thing is that the two people this guy sent are both very strong. Even with such serious injuries, they were able to obviously recover the next day after treatment, and could get out of bed on their own after three days.

Fan Shulin: "How many gangs are there in our school now?"

Tan Wenbin: "Oh, that's a lot, otherwise there wouldn't be so many fights."

"Then you guys can't help. There are always people with such serious injuries. They are sent to the infirmary at every turn. No one from other gangs has ever sent them here."

“Because they don’t need medical treatment.”

"Then you guys are the best."

"That's right. Every time our leader takes us out to fight, he aims to destroy the household registration books."

Fan Shulin laughed, he felt that he had made a very funny joke.

Tan Wenbin also smiled.

After treating the wound, Tan Wenbin pushed Lin Shuyou into the ward.

When Fan Shulin came over for an IV drip, Tan Wenbin took out the money, put it into Fan Shulin's white coat, and patted it gently.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Fan."

"Call me if you have anything to do."

Every time the young doctor received a red envelope, he would feel uneasy and embarrassed, and even speak incoherently.

After the doctor left, Tan Wenbin carefully observed Lin Shuyou's condition. Seeing that his face had become rosy, he felt relieved, leaned back in the accompanying chair, closed his eyes and began to sleep.

He had a dream. In the dream, he was standing by a river, picking up stones and skipping them on the water. There were too many stones by the river and he could not throw them all away.

I don’t know how long I was gone, but when Tan Wenbin woke up, he glanced at the clock on the wall of the ward. It was nine o’clock in the morning. In fact, he didn’t sleep for very long.

There were soy milk and fried dough sticks on the bedside table. They were a little cold, but still edible.

Tan Wenbin knew that this was sent by Dr. Fan before he got off work.

There was also a small bag of dates at the back, which should be his own snacks in the duty room.

Just after finishing breakfast, Tan Wenbin saw Lin Shuyou woke up and turned his head to look at him.

"Sorry, I……"

"Need to pee?"

Tan Wenbin bent down and took out the spittoon from under the bed.

"No, I am..."

"You were injured more seriously this time, but you recovered faster than last time."

When Lin Shuyou heard this, he suddenly seemed to think of something. He reached out to lift his hospital gown and tried his best to raise his head and look down.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, I'll put it on for you."

Tan Wenbin picked up the spittoon again.

"How is it possible? Why is this mask complete?"

Tan Wenbin raised his eyebrows and immediately grasped the key point: "Did you break this mask yourself?"

"Ah."

"Why are you doing this?"

"I applied to a university in Jinling because I wanted to be farther away from home."

"Are you having a conflict with your family?"

"Not really, I just have some disagreements with my master. My grandfather still supports my master."

"Why haven't I heard you say that before?"

"It's not like we're breaking off relations. I still have to go home for the winter break, so I don't think there's any need to say it."

"Oh."

Tan Wenbin picked up a date, took a bite, and found it was quite sweet.

“They always think I’m immature and want to control me.

When I left home to go to college, I deliberately took off the mask in front of my master and grandfather, and announced that I was an adult and they no longer needed to look after me.

I didn’t expect that I would still have to rely on my family this time.”

Tan Wenbin said earnestly: "With your brain, it's better for your family to take care of you. Otherwise, you will be sold out and help others count the money."

"Brother Binbin, you are still good to me."

"Be good and eat the dates."

"Brother Binbin, after I fell into a coma last night, I seemed to hear you crying for me."

"Well, I thought you were dead and was mourning for you."

"I'm sorry for making you sad, brother."

"Don't be sad, I'm just going through the process. If you die, you die. It's no big deal."

"Brother, you are right. To die for a righteous cause without regrets is an honor. You should be happy for me."

"Not to the extent that it would be a bit abnormal."

"Brother, next time something like this happens, we will be together again, fighting demons and defending the Way with you, that's great."

"I remember that even if you were possessed, you would still be able to retain some of your memories and consciousness, right?"

Tan Wenbin still remembers that he showed mercy to his eggs on the school playground last time.

"It's not complete, but I can remember some of it, like a dream."

"Then do you remember me sticking a needle into you?"

"Remember, brother, you are so awesome, this trick really works!"

"Forehead……"

"If we had let Master Tongzi go, how could we have chased after Grandma Yu? We should have killed this evil spirit that manipulated human relationships at all costs!

By the way, brother, do you have any more of this kind of talisman needles?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I know this talisman is very precious, but I really want some to take back for my master and grandfather."

"Ayou, you are so filial."

"After the three incense sticks have burned out, we can no longer maintain the spirit-writing state, and the adults will also leave.

If we have this kind of talisman needle, it is equivalent to having another round, and we can continue to do many things. This is very important to our officers and generals!"

"I understand, but this has serious side effects and it's easy to ruin yourself."

Lin Shuyou was surprised and said, "What has no side effects? If it has an effect, isn't it normal to have side effects?"

"In fact, there are some gradual methods with less severe side effects."

Tan Wenbin remembered that Brother Xiaoyuan had originally prepared a complete set of methods, but Brother Xiaoyuan was not there at the time, so the only method he could use was the crudest and simplest one.

"Really?" Lin Shuyou excitedly sat up from the bed again, which caused the wound to be pulled, and the corner of his mouth twitched in pain. "Is it true?"

"some."

"Brother, can you teach me?"

"You are flattering me too much."

"Brother Xiaoyuan can do it? I...I thought if Brother Xiaoyuan can do it, then you can do it too."

"You are insulting my brother Xiaoyuan too much."

"Brother, what do you think I need to do in order for Brother Xiaoyuan to teach me those methods?"

"Just stand still and I will help you experience it."

"That's so embarrassing!"

"You're welcome. It's my duty, it's my duty."

"Brother, you and Brother Xiaoyuan are so kind to me. This is such a precious thing, please teach me if you want."

"You paid for it with your own life."

"Yes, these things are so precious that they are worth exchanging your life for."

"Hey, I mean, it will be used on you."

“Not only are you willing to teach me, but you are also willing to help me experience and demonstrate it yourself?”

Tan Wenbin finally couldn't help it, stood up, reached out and touched Lin Shuyou's forehead, muttering:

"The fever has gone down. Could it be that his brain was damaged by the blow yesterday?"

Tan Wenbin felt that Lin Shuyou seemed to be talking nonsense. It was not that it was difficult to communicate with him, but that it was so easy to communicate with him that it seemed a little unreal.

His brother Yuanzi treated him as a tool, so he actually wrote an article "Self-cultivation of a Tool Man" and posted it on the door of his dormitory and began to recite it.

In fact, this is because Tan Wenbin has been in the industry for a relatively short time, and since then, Li Zhuiyuan has been throwing some books to him from time to time.

He still has "Records of Strange Tales from the Jianghu" and "Records of the Righteous Way to Subdue Demons" on his desk in the dormitory. If he throws them out casually, they will be treasures that will make his colleagues' eyes turn red and they will fight for them desperately.

In short, Tan Wenbin actually has some "why not eat meat" attitude.

For a clan family whose inheritance is not particularly long, it is already very difficult to inherit the existing inheritance, and it is even more difficult to further study, expand and diverge the inheritance.

This not only requires the prosperity of generations in the sect and the accumulation of time, but also requires a genius to suddenly emerge in the sect, fully master the existing inheritance in a very short period of time, and then further elevate the inheritance system and open up the upper limit.

This kind of genius is really rare.

Just look at the Yin family and you will know. This is a family that has been passed down since the Eastern Han Dynasty, but in two thousand years, there has only been one Yin Changsheng.

To put it another way, the contribution of Yin Changsheng alone has caused his descendants to live off the capital for two thousand years.

After seeing Li Zhuiyuan's talent, Liu Yumei broke all the rules and let Li Zhuiyuan and the Qin and Liu families shoulder the responsibility at the same time.

It is because this value is so great that even the Dragon King's family cannot resist the powerful temptation of a Yin Changsheng appearing in the inheritance.

When Li Zhuiyuan himself entered the industry, he owned the collection of books in Li Sanjiang's basement.

After one year in the industry, he was directly admitted to the Qin and Liu families.

He himself did not realize that these methods, which he had temporarily devised just to make his tools perform better, meant nothing to others.

In other people's eyes, it is really something worth exchanging one's life for.

It is equivalent to an emerging township enterprise. The products it produces can be sent to national laboratories for analysis, testing and upgrading, guiding new development directions in the future.

This is no longer a question of how much you are willing to pay, but rather something that would never happen under normal circumstances.

Lin Shuyou just happened to catch up with the period when Runsheng was not around on Li Zhuiyuan's side.

Otherwise, his position here with Li Zhuiyuan would be equivalent to having an extra "door god" guarding the door in the dormitory.

"Brother Binbin, I'm fine. Please help me plead with Brother Xiaoyuan. As long as he is willing to teach me and let me do anything, I can join you and fight demons together!"

"Don't, don't, don't!"

Tan Wenbin immediately waved his hand and said sternly:
"We were good friends in class. After we leave class, you are you and we are us."

Don’t think that Lin Shuyou looks simple and honest now, but as soon as he gets his face done, he immediately becomes a different person, acting like a big shot.

It's okay to use such a person occasionally, but if he is allowed to hang around Brother Yuanzi all day long, Tan Wenbin is really worried that Brother Yuanzi will just clean up the mess and sink him into the river one day.

When the time comes, I guess it will be me who will tie stones to his body to add weight.

The main reason is that he is really out of control, and the time when he is most obedient is also when he is the most useless.

“Brother…” Lin Shuyou swallowed his saliva, “Brother, if I bring these methods back, my master and my grandfather will have to invite me to sit at the main seat during the New Year’s Eve dinner!”

"So exaggerated?"

"Even the family tree has to have a separate page for me."

"You have a concussion?"

"What I said is true!"

"Okay, okay, okay. I get it. I get it. You look pretty good. Can you get out of bed and pee by yourself?"

"It's okay. I can take care of myself. I've recovered. My family helped me with the extension this time..."

"Oh, by the way, this time the mask on your belly has been repaired, and your family has given you a new lease of life. Do you think your family will come to Jinling to find you soon?"

"I think... I guess."

"I'm telling you in advance, if your family comes looking for you, don't tell anyone about my brother Xiaoyuan. My brother Xiaoyuan is afraid of trouble."

"Okay, I see."

"Then I'll leave first. I'll pay your hospital bill later. Remember to refund it when you are discharged."

"Thank you, brother."

"When returning the money, remember to count it again, with a smile on your face, and count it happily."

"Oh, okay, I understand."

Tan Wenbin walked out of the ward. The weather outside was a bit gloomy and windy. It should not be long before it rains.

He turned around and looked at Lin Shuyou in the ward again.

Ever since Brother Xiaoyuan made it clear that he would not include Lin Shuyou in the team, he has actually been deliberately controlling the boundaries of his emotions and not letting them spread freely.

This is a besieged city.

Brother Xiaoyuan wanted to test his emotions within the team in the hope of getting out, while he was taking his emotions in from the outside.

Because that night, seeing Zheng Haiyang and his family of three lying in front of him, his heart was so painful.

He doesn't want to experience similar pain a second time. If it's a partner in the team who he works with day and night, there's nothing he can do about it, but for people outside the team, as long as I don't invest my feelings in them, then you can just die.

It’s just like when I followed Uncle Li to observe funerals in the past. After seeing so many funerals, I have become indifferent to them.

Tan Wenbin had just gone to the payment window to deposit the medical expenses when he heard a "beep...beep..." sound from his waist.

I picked up my pager and saw that it was the store's phone number.

Tan Wenbin immediately ran back to school and saw a police car parked in front of the store.

Officer Xiao Zhou, who was standing next to the car, waved to him.

At this time, there were many people near the store, and Tan Wenbin got into the police car in full view of everyone and was taken away by the police.

The students began to talk and speculate what he had done wrong.

Lu Yi, who was at the cashier, couldn't help but shouted:

"The policeman just said that he just asked my buddy to go to the police station to find out the situation. I believe my buddy is definitely innocent!"

After Lu Yi said this, everyone was more certain that the classmate was really in trouble.

After arriving at the police station, Tan Wenbin first went to his biological father's office. He was not a suspect, he was just there to go through the formalities, so there were no restrictions.

"Oh, Officer Tan, you changed offices. I really envy you for having such an outstanding son."

Tan Yunlong put down his teacup and glared at his evil son who was standing in front of him with a smug look on his face.

But he couldn't refute it, as he did benefit from his son's success.

A celebration party was held yesterday, and now a new date for the celebration party is being put on the agenda.

The main thing is that an entire child trafficking gang was almost completely destroyed. So many criminals were vying to make meritorious contributions, fearing that if they didn't tell others about it, they would. As a result, a large amount of information on child trafficking was obtained, and many children trafficked by the gang were able to return to their biological parents.

This is truly a great meritorious deed. It won't be long before the parents who have found their children will bring their children to the bureau to present banners or even kneel down to acknowledge their godfather and express their gratitude. By then, the colleagues in the publicity department will have to press the shutters of their cameras down and won't be able to pop up.

But for Tan Yunlong, this was really tormenting, because he knew that he was not the one who really helped them, but he still had to sit here and suffer.

He was not a very utilitarian person, otherwise he would not have been so happy to be transferred to the town police station. But now, he had to endure the repeated burning of his own moral sense.

"Close the door."

Tan Wenbin immediately took two steps back and pointed at his father and said, "Dad, you can close the door, but don't untie your belt!"

Tan Yunlong said nothing.

"Dad, this is a police station. According to the Minors Protection Act..."

"You're an adult."

"According to the Public Security Administration Punishment Law..."

Tan Yunlong stood up and closed the office door.

"Dad, I advise you to calm down. You have to calm down. A new official has three fires to start with. There is no need for you to burn your own son first. I think Officer Zhou is a good person.

The guy parked the police car in the most crowded place and waved at me. I don’t know what crime I might be accused of at school now.

You see, Officer Zhou's behavior is worthy of criticism and education, and is not conducive to protecting the privacy and reputation of the whistleblower."

Hearing this, Tan Yunlong almost laughed out of anger. He walked straight towards Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin took up his stance and said, "Dad, calm down. Your son also has some skills now. It would be bad if he really hurt you during the sparring."

Tan Yunlong raised his hand and slapped Tan Wenbin on the head.

Of course, Tan Wenbin would not really fight with his own father, so he could only hold his head and let his father hit him.

"Why are you so dirty this time? You saved someone and let them know your real name?"

Tan Yunlong originally wanted to say that his son was the whistleblower, but because of Liang Liang's words, his son was directly involved in the rescue.

"Oh my god, Dad, this really can't be blamed on me. It was Brother Xiaoyuan who called me 'Brother Binbin' and that kid heard it."

"Crack! Crack!"

"You've become more capable, right? You made a mistake yourself, and you want to put the blame on Xiaoyuan?"

"I……"

Tan Wenbin was speechless. He really remembered that at that time, Brother Xiaoyuan was drinking from a can of Jianlibao and said to him, "Brother Binbin, as long as you are happy."

Then, the child started calling himself "Brother Binbin".

"You didn't do your job well, and you don't want to take responsibility!" Tan Wenbin was chased around the office and shouted aggrievedly: "Dad, who is your biological son?"

"I really want to change."

Hearing this, Tan Wenbin couldn't help laughing out loud:

"Pfft... Dad, you are so shameless."

The next time he slapped his opponent, the force doubled.

"Oh, that's right. You want Brother Xiaoyuan to be your son, but you don't even ask him if he wants you to be his father."

"Crack! Crack!"

"I can't even imagine what your son would be like if he had a brain like Xiaoyuan. But you can think better than me. Hahaha, ouch!"

"Clap clap clap clap!"

The atmosphere in the office finally calmed down because Tan Yunlong was tired of fighting.

Tan Wenbin sat on the chair. Although he was beaten so many times, this was just the beginning. Even for him a year ago, he would only regard this level of beating as an appetizer, not to mention that his skin and flesh were tighter now.

"Dad, you must be tired. Come, I'll pour you some tea."

Tan Wenbin picked up the kettle beside him and poured some tea.

When Tan Yunlong saw his son holding the thermos, his shoulders were drawn in and his arms were clenched, he immediately asked:

"Did you throw those rocks?"

Did you kill that woman?
Tan Wenbin continued to pour tea calmly, then asked in confusion: "What stone? I didn't break anyone's window."

Tan Yunlong said: "If you pretend too much, it will appear deliberate. In the eyes of a discerning person, you have already given the answer."

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"The correct approach is to predict what the other party will ask you in advance, and then prepare yourself mentally, and really treat it as if it is not you who did it. That kind of reaction is closer to the truth."

"Dad, are you planning to give a lecture on the law at our school? Hey, that's not right. This kind of topic shouldn't be discussed in a lecture."

"I've made some progress compared to before. At least I know how to hold on and avoid being bluffed."

"Officer Tan, as long as you are happy."

Tan Yunlong did not mention this again, but said: "No matter what, this is a good thing after all. Ask Xiaoyuan if he is willing to come out and accept the commendation."

"No need to ask, Brother Xiaoyuan definitely doesn't want to."

"how about you?"

"Of course I have to follow my brother Xiaoyuan's footsteps. Fame and fortune are like floating clouds to me."

"It's too late. You'll have to go through the process later. You can't hide this anymore."

"what?"

"No matter how much I try to minimize the impact, the bureau has its own regulations. I can't avoid receiving awards and notifying the school."

"It's so troublesome..."

"You should understand the principle of Zigong redeeming people."

Tan Wenbin sighed.

"That's good too. You can get a certificate and be praised by the school. It will be good for your future development."

"I would rather die than accept this award."

"what?"

"No, nothing. OK, Officer Tan, I'll cooperate with the work."

"Go."

"Hey."

Tan Wenbin walked out of the office and was taken away to take a statement.

After completing all the procedures, he was sent back to school by several policemen. When they arrived at the door of the store, he was awarded a certificate in front of the teachers and students around him to help restore his reputation.

There was also a bonus in an envelope.

In fact, the process is not that fast. The bonus has to go through procedural approval, so newspapers are stuffed in the envelope.

After the ceremony, Tan Wenbin walked into the store holding the award certificate.

Lu Yi had just been cleaning up the inventory in the basement and had not seen the excitement earlier. When he came up and saw Tan Wenbin coming back, he said in surprise: "Brother, you let him out!"

Tan Wenbin: "Yes, buddy, thank you for taking care of my parents for me."

"Oh, I misspoke, that's not what I meant. Hey, what is this, a certificate? Oh, awesome, you're awesome. I'll frame it and hang it on the counter."

"No, just keep it for me first, keep it low-key."

"Okay, I understand. You have a bigger vision, buddy."

Tan Wenbin took a bag and filled it with some food and drinks. Although he didn't pay, he asked Lu Yi to count the items at the counter.

Then he returned to the dormitory with his things, knocked on the door of the dormitory manager, went in and chatted with her for a while, talking about some troubles in life and his longing for his mother.

When leaving, leave all the food and drinks behind.

When he returned to his dormitory and saw that Xiaoyuan had not come back yet, he took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then went to Luyi's dormitory.

As the local god of this dormitory, he has the key.

He packed two sets of clothes and toiletries for Lin Shuyou, put them in a basin, walked out of the dormitory building, and went to the store to get some more food and drinks.

When transferring the money again, Lu Yi asked in confusion: "Why didn't you take more just now?"

"No matter how much you take, you have to put it on Auntie's table."

"What?"

"No big deal. Next time when you come back late from inventory, if the dormitory door is closed, just report my name."

"Have you gotten to know the new dorm keeper well? That's really fast. When she was checking the rooms last night, her voice was really loud. People say she has a bad temper."

"It's okay. Her husband just cheated on her. She's been in a bad mood lately, but she'll be fine after a while."

"No, you know all this?"

"Ah."

"So you and your counselor are getting along well, right?"

“It’s not cooked yet.”

He didn't participate much in the military training, but he had dinner and drank with the previous instructor, and then she became a dead instructor.

"Then you have to hurry up. I see you are very busy, so you will inevitably have to skip classes and ask for leave. Once you have established a good relationship with me, it will be easier to approve the notes."

“I don’t have any use for this…”

Halfway through his words, I thought carefully. Brother Xiaoyuan can skip classes at will, as he has Engineer Luo protecting him. If I follow him and show my face too much, it will leave a negative impression on Engineer Luo. What if I am no longer included in the project?
To be on the safe side, you still have to pull some connections. It's better to have it yourself than to have it yourself if your parents or distant brothers have it.

"Okay, I will, let's go."

Knowing that Brother Xiaoyuan was at Grandma Liu's place, Tan Wenbin didn't rush over, because if he went there he would have to see those two struggling guys who were undergoing special training.

When I came to the infirmary again and entered the ward, I found Lin Shuyou was sleeping soundly and even snoring.

"You've recovered so well?" Tan Wenbin touched his belly. "How about I get myself a tattoo, too?"

Although I know that getting a tattoo has no practical effect, it can have a psychological effect.

Tan Wenbin turned his head to look at the curtain of the next bed, reached out and pulled it open, revealing an empty bed.

After yawning and putting down his things, Tan Wenbin walked out of the ward and went downstairs.

As soon as he left, two dusty figures appeared at the stairs.

One has a head full of silver hair but looks energetic, while the other is still strong and sturdy in his middle age.

"Master, is it him?"

"There are signs of him having practiced Kung Fu, and his spiritual perception is okay, but in the end, he is still a little ordinary, and that's not him."

"Unfortunately, Ah You refused to tell us. He kept saying that he had found a great opportunity for us and asked us to prepare to open a separate page for his family tree."

"Ayou is a good kid in every way, except that he is too stubborn and one-track-minded, which makes him easy to be deceived and exploited."

"I've observed that Ah You has two recent injuries. This means he was used as a gun twice."

"Humph, follow him. I want to see who dares to use our child like this. Do you really think that the general has no temper?"

……

Li Zhuiyuan slept until the afternoon. There was no other way as he had consumed a lot of energy last night.

After getting up, he took a shower first.

The new clothes that Grandma Liu had ordered for him had arrived, so he put them on right away.

The meal was lentil rice with some pickles, which was quite simple.

The reason is that Aunt Liu's sense of taste and smell are now disordered, and she is temporarily not suitable for cooking.

This has caused Grandma Liu's family's living standards to plummet recently.

Fortunately, however, A'li sat next to me while I was eating and even peeled a salted duck egg for me, which added two dishes to my meal.

Due to the bad weather, Li Zhuiyuan did not go to the terrace with A'li. Instead, he came to the study, handed the chess-sized piece of bone to A'li, and told her what happened last night.

Ah Li held the bones in her hand, raised her head, and listened carefully to the boy's story. Her eyelashes flickered from time to time, which was her constant response to the boy.

After finishing speaking, Li Zhuiyuan reached out and held A-li's hand.

The original howling of ghosts and wolves now turned into whispers.

Liu Yumei was right, they were indeed a group of scum who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Walking in Yin.

A-Li welcomed Li Zhuiyuan into her heart.

The same bungalow, the same broken tablet.

The difference is that outside the threshold, in addition to the original open space, a circle of grayish-white fog appeared around it.

In this fog, you can see many ghostly shadows and hear rustling sounds.

They are all hidden in here.

Granny Yu had disappeared, but there was still a white lantern on the ground outside the threshold.

Li Zhuiyuan picked up the lantern, and the light ignited by itself, emitting a pale and eerie light, and the curse words that were originally on it also disappeared.

The boy held a lantern and looked around.
He opened his mouth and asked:
“Who wants to be next?”

The whispering suddenly stopped, and after a long time, it resumed, but it was not as dense as before.

After waiting for a long time, no one came out of the fog on their own initiative.

Li Zhuiyuan turned around and inserted the white lantern into the crack in the wall.

I have to keep this lantern for now, because later I will have to carry it, walk into the fog, and take out the things hidden inside.

The reason why he didn't do so now was, firstly, because Runsheng and Yin Meng's special training had not yet been completed, and he was missing two helpers.

Second, after each wave passes, there will be a period of calm for you to catch your breath and lick your wounds.

And because I answered the questions in advance, it was equivalent to handing in the paper early, which left me with more time to rest.

The new wave has not come yet. Even if I go in with a lantern and catch one now, it will not appear in front of me without the push of the river water.

These things were hidden very deeply. If they were so easy to find, Liu Yumei would have taken Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu to clear out these bastards long ago. There was no way she would have let them stay until today.

The reason why I can always find the right answer is because I make use of the rules.

Once they are listed as topics, they have to come, which can be regarded as misusing public resources for personal gain in the name of defending righteousness.

They are your own question bank.

As long as I continue to send wave after wave of "self-selected questions", they will become more afraid. Those that are crushed by me on the way to the river will completely disappear, and the remaining ones will probably never dare to come over to intimidate or harass me again.

Of course, this may also lead to a consequence, that is, the powerful Sidao, who originally disdained to use such means, might use this method to seek revenge on the common heir of the Qin and Liu families.

It doesn’t really matter, I can just take over when the time comes.

At least now, Ahri's ears were much quieter.

End the negative journey and return to reality.

Li Zhuiyuan and A'li went up to the third floor and came to the place where the tablets were enshrined.

Officially set off on the river, after passing the first wave, then come and say farewell by yourself.

But when the boy was about to pay his respects, he saw that A'li had already taken down the two tablets in the middle.

"Ari, put it down first, and take it when I'm not around."

A'li put the tablet back.

Li Zhuiyuan paid his respects. After the ceremony, he walked out of the room and waited at the door for a while. A'li came out with two tablets in her arms.

Back in the study downstairs, A'li sat down, placed the bones on the drawing table, and looked at Li Zhuiyuan.

"It's for you. You design it."

Ali shook her head.

"Are you planning to make it for me?"

The girl nodded.

"Since it's a gift to me, it must be designed by you."

Ali picked up the pen and began to draw the design.

Li Zhuiyuan looked towards other corners of the desk. At the very edge, there was a long scroll with a painted background. It was the scenery that Ah Li had seen "outside the threshold" before.

Judging from the structural layout, what A'li wanted to paint should be Granny Yu standing close to the threshold that day.

In the middle of the drawing table, there is a piece of square seal raw material the size of a child's palm, with a carving knife and a drawing next to it.

Picking up the drawing, Li Zhuiyuan saw the future appearance of the seal. It had a square shape at the bottom and a soaring dragon at the top. Although it was small, it was extremely majestic.

However, the words on the seal have not been drawn, probably because Ari has not made up her mind yet.

Every word and every thing she said was remembered by the girl in her heart, and she really did it.

And it can be seen that she is very dedicated and immersed in it, but before she did it to escape, but now she is enjoying the concentration and tranquility.

While Li Zhuiyuan was stunned, A'li handed him the newly drawn blueprint.

"So fast?"

Looking down, I saw a bone ring on the drawing paper.

You just need to hollow out the middle and thin the edges to maintain its original state as much as possible, so the design is not complicated.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at the painting and then at his own fingers, imagining how it would feel to wear the bone ring on his finger.

A sense of anticipation really rose in my heart.

This piece of bone is the only relic left by Grandma Yu who was burned to ashes. It has the ability to amplify the spirit. After wearing it, the effect will be more obvious when you use the intimidation technique.

Ali walked to the corner of the drawing table, rolled up the long scroll with the background drawn on it, and threw it into the trash can next to it.

She originally wanted to use this unfinished painting as a record of the boy's first death after he officially crossed the river.

But now, after listening to the boy's story, she had a better picture.

The young man held the black, jumping water in his left hand and the rising flames of karma in his right hand. Granny Yu knelt in front of the young man like a dog, waiting for his final end.

The girl reached out and touched the two tablets she had just taken down. She wanted to use them to make a large picture frame.

After that, every time he solved a dead end, she would draw a picture and then include the picture in the collection. When the painting was finished, he would have succeeded in crossing the river.

That is, the scroll is very long, so the frame must be made very large, and a lot of materials will be used. However, it should be enough to use all the tablets in the house.

Li Zhuiyuan never expected that when he picked up the bones, he was thinking of giving them to A'li as handicraft materials to reduce the burden on the ancestors of Qin and Liu. However, because of his own relationship, he directly caused the annihilation of the ancestors of the two families.

The girl turned around and looked at the new blank scroll on the drawing table, the unfinished seal, the newly designed bone ring, and the picture frame book that was about to be made.

I felt a genuine sense of satisfaction in my heart.

Li Zhuiyuan pulled up the curtains and opened the floor-to-ceiling windows.

In the corner of the yard, there was a pile of straw mats, and underneath the mats was actually a blood-red coffin.

Runsheng is now lying in this coffin.

This means that when Uncle Qin came back last time, he brought not only the coffin nails, but also the lair of the evil creature.

Even from quite a distance away, one could hear Runsheng's painful groans. It was obvious that he was enduring extremely terrible torture and training in there.

But when Li Zhuiyuan approached, the muffled groan disappeared.

Walking a little closer, I heard a few crisp knocks.

It was like Runsheng was smiling foolishly.

"Brother Runsheng, come on, I'm waiting for you."

"Dong dong!"

Two consecutive knocks indicate a response.

Uncle Qin asked, "Xiaoyuan, what do you think would be good to grow here? How about loofah?"

"Aren't you planting flowers?"

"Your grandmother Liu said that growing flowers is flashy and useless, it's better to grow some vegetables, so that life can be more solid and meaningful."

It was the first time that Uncle Qin heard his mistress use the word "solid" to describe life, but he could see it from her face that she had a goal to strive for.

Li Zhuiyuan: "The vegetables you grow yourself are definitely tastier, like the ones I used to grow at my great grandfather's house."

"We are running out of pickles at home. You can let the old lady drink some porridge to clear her stomach, but she is not used to eating pickles from outside."

Aunt Liu's voice came. She was standing in another corner of the yard. In front of her was a pickled vegetable jar, but this time it contained not Chinese mustard greens, but Yin Meng.

Yin Meng closed his eyes, leaving only his head exposed. His entire body was covered in black and purple liquid, and there seemed to be poisonous insects crawling inside.

Although the environment is a bit dirty, it can be seen that Yin Meng's skin is whiter and the whole person looks more energetic, like a freshly peeled egg.

For the first time, Li Zhuiyuan knew that poison could be used to beautify the face.

On the contrary, Aunt Liu, who was standing next to her, looked haggard and thinner, and even her originally beautiful hair began to split and turn slightly yellow.

Li Zhuiyuan originally wanted to walk up to Yin Meng and say "Come on" to her, but seeing her radiant face and comparing it to Aunt Liu's, he could only say to Aunt Liu:

"Aunt Liu, you've worked hard."

Aunt Liu pointed at Yin Meng and said, "This girl is very ruthless and talented, but she is a bit of a waste of teacher."

"I'm coming!"

Tan Wenbin's voice came from outside, greeting everyone enthusiastically.

Then, he noticed that none of the three people standing in the yard were looking at him, but were looking behind him.

He turned around and saw an old man and a middle-aged man walking on the path outside. They walked steadily, like mountains approaching slowly, bringing a great artistic conception.

Middle-aged people look arrogant, while old people are intimidating without even getting angry.

They came slowly.

First I saw a woman standing by the pickle jar, holding up her hair with a rubber band;
I saw the man standing under the flower stand, rolling up his sleeves.

immediately,

The middle-aged people looked dull and honest, and the elderly became hunched over.

They did not stop when they passed the gate, but instead quickened their pace and continued to move forward.

they,

Just passing by.
