Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 171

Li Zhuiyuan swung his arm downwards and spread out his palm. The copper coin sword fell off and turned into a circle of copper coins that fell into his palm.

Although it is not in the shape of a sword, they are still connected to each other and can be worn on the wrist as a bracelet.

The young man gently touched the rust on one of the coins with his fingertips. This was not metal rust, but a special attachment formed by the continuous infiltration of the evil spirit's blood and the blood of the original owner.

Using it for chopping will have very poor results, far inferior to the Yellow River shovel, or even... inferior to a sturdy wooden stick.

The real value of the copper coin sword lies in using it as a medium to cast spells.

When Li Zhuiyuan cast spells in the past, he was accustomed to drawing spell patterns on his arms and hands, and then combining them with his own energy and spirit to stimulate them.

He was too lazy to look for a medium because ordinary media could not guarantee the effectiveness of the spell.

But this doesn’t mean that media products are useless, it’s just that we haven’t encountered really good ones.

Now, he has.

With it, it will be easier to cast spells, and the copper rust on the copper coin itself can also enhance the effect of the spell to a certain extent.

Li Zhuiyuan bowed to the cracked stone tablet again to thank the elder for the gift.

Li Zhuiyuan felt embarrassed after taking things from Old Zhao's house.

I’ll find a chance in the future to give Zhao Yi an equally great opportunity.

I just don’t know if Zhao Yi is interested in Fengdu?
Now, things are becoming clearer.

The elders in the Miao village told Li Zhuiyuan several versions of the story about the old woman changing women, one of which was correct. The old woman changing women was indeed a holy woman from the Miao area.

What she was refining should be the mother-child heart-linking Gu.

Wei Zhengdao once recorded in "Records of Strange Tales from the Jianghu" a dead shark that swam down a river. Its mother was wearing Miao costumes and had a bulging belly, with the fetus inside the belly actually dominating.

Wei Zhengdao's commentary on this death is: using pregnancy as a substitute for rebirth, and living a new life.

In essence, she gave birth not to her child, but to herself.

People are always dissatisfied with themselves in various aspects, ranging from their body shape and appearance to their personality and temper.

This kind of evil magic can change the original unsatisfactory situation and allow one to live again in the most perfect posture from one's own perspective.

Of course, you can also choose the person you think is the most perfect, replicate him or her, and create a new him or her (yourself).

This evil magic, when practiced to an extreme level, can even change one's fate.

According to the description on Zhao Wuyang's stone tablet, the birth of a Gu child requires the lives of a large number of young children for blood sacrifice, which is equivalent to exchanging the lives of many children for the new life of his own child.

Therefore, the old woman's current caution should be due to her fear of the Dragon King of the Zhao family who once suppressed her. What was left on the stone tablet can be regarded as the Dragon King's oath.

As long as she dares to kill, the oath will respond.

But the oath can only bind her temporarily. Once she is sure of the appearance of her new child and is ready to give birth again, a blood sacrifice is inevitable, and the children in the surrounding areas will inevitably suffer as a result.

In history, she should have come only once, but the poisonous child born that time was killed by Zhao Wuyang.

Her madness that time must have caused many children to suffer. Even hundreds of years later, there was a legend circulating in the local area that she liked to eat children.

It seems that the purpose of this wave is to protect children.

Well, it's also to protect himself.

Li Ren was lifted up and sent back to the earth building.

Neither of them wanted to go back to the village, but their opinions didn't count.

Li Zhuiyuan devised a new plan.

He planned to take the initiative to bite the fake bait on the construction site, and then show his excitement that the problem had been solved to paralyze the old woman.

Then I turned around and took the opportunity to go to the lake and dig out her lair.

This is not a very brilliant plan, but no matter how complex or sophisticated a plan is, when you break it down, its essence is often very simple.

Li Zhuiyuan needs to take the initiative to create an opportunity to face the old lady, and then lead his team to rush forward.

There was no way. She was too cautious and as slippery as a loach. If I continued to slowly grind with her, and wait until she gave birth and caused a disaster, it would be too late.

After receiving the notice, Ran Dacheng drove over again on his tractor.

Even though he was troubled several times, there was no sign of unhappiness on his face.

For him, the real profit lies in being responsible for the procurement and supply of the construction teams after they come back, and the profits here are quite lucrative.

Li Zhuiyuan and others got on Ran Dacheng's tractor and went to the construction site.

In the earthen building, Cui Hao listened to the noise through the door.

"They're gone, brother. I'll help you escape from here!"

After Yin Meng's treatment, Li Ren's wound symptoms were significantly relieved and his consciousness was basically restored. At this moment, he excitedly grabbed Cui Hao's arm and choked up:
"Brothers!"

He may not be popular, but he is not a bad person.

At least, the two people with the worst popularity in the two teams have forged a deep friendship during these days of escaping from the savages.

In their eyes, this earth building and this village are the most dangerous places in the world.

Cui Hao collected some food and medicine and carried Li Ren on his back.

But as soon as he walked out of the door and into the yard, Cui Hao began to turn around in circles.

The door of the earth building was right in front of me, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't reach it.

Finally, Cui Hao put Li Ren down and collapsed to the ground exhausted.

"It's over. I'm stuck in a ghost wall. The ghost is coming again."

Li Zhuiyuan knew what the two were thinking, so in order to prevent them from running around and not being able to find their way back, he simply set up an isolation formation in the earth building before they left.

The formation he had set up in the earth building was too advanced. After all, this was a temporary base for him and his people, and their own people still had to go in and out, which gave the "fake man" a chance to sneak in.

This time, the formation he set up was very simple. No one from outside was allowed to come in, and no one from inside was allowed to go out.

The dummies are not very aggressive and have no ability to break the formation unless the old witch comes in person.

But then again, if the old witch really wanted to kill them both at all costs, they would not be safe no matter where they hid.

After arriving at the construction site, Li Zhuiyuan asked Ran Dacheng to drive the tractor away for a distance and wait, and not to get close.

Ran Dacheng didn't understand, but he did as he was told.

After checking around, Li Zhuiyuan discovered that, just as Xue Liangliang had said before, there were traces of rituals in many corners. There were three small altar tables alone, as well as various talismans and statues of gods pasted on them, depicting a meeting of a group of gods.

But they used their strength in the wrong place.

Li Zhuiyuan looked up at the high shelf, the other end of which was connected to the western hillside.

The third disciple of the Miao village was believed to have fallen off the shelf after getting drunk at night.

In fact, they were not in the wrong place.

When Li Zhuiyuan began to locate the location with a compass in hand, he found that the place where Yin and Sha gathered was not below the construction site, nor at the bottom of the river in front, but on the hillside on the west side.

After positioning, we looked more closely and found that there was an area on the hillside on that side whose color was different from the surrounding area. It should have been filled and covered later.

The bait is right there.

It is indeed a big deal. The principle is similar to that of offending the builder who will put a dead cat in the beam gap of your house.

Li Zhuiyuan pointed in the direction:

"Runsheng, go up and smash that place open."

"it is good!"

Holding the Yellow River shovel, Runsheng did not walk, but ran to the other end and climbed along the steep slope.

"Lin Shuyou, go down and prepare to meet them."

"understand!"

Lin Shuyou also came to the foot of the slope, ready to possess the spirit.

Li Zhuiyuan took out a battle formation diagram from his bag and handed it to Tan Wenbin: "Tan Wenbin, set up the battle formation."

"Order!"

Tan Wenbin took the blueprint and took a look at it. It was a simple binding formation, easy to understand and easy to set up. For their subcontractors, it was a basic operation.

He and Yin Meng briefly assigned the tasks and then began to plant the flags.

Xue Liangliang was holding a dagger in his hand, which was a gift from Tan Wenbin when they set out. It was the same dagger that the other members of the team had on their boots.

But after wielding the dagger for a few times, Xue Liangliang felt that it would be difficult to feel safe enough by doing so.

He simply put away the dagger, picked up two steel bars on the ground, grabbed one in each hand, and stood in front of Li Zhuiyuan to protect him.

Regardless of the effectiveness, at least the intention has been expressed.

At this moment, Runsheng had already arrived at that area. He stood on the protruding part of the rock wall, holding a Yellow River shovel, and began to smash it.

The new version of the Yellow River shovel tailored for Runsheng is not only larger and heavier, but also stronger and more durable.

With every blow, his clothes bulged.

The rubble kept rolling down and hitting him, but he ignored it and continued to hammer hard.

As it was smashed, large areas of cracks appeared. This area was originally hollow, not solid.

Runsheng stabbed in with the edge of a shovel and changed the chisel into a pry.

Once, twice, three times... There was a loud "crash", and a large amount of rocks and dust were raised. A cave appeared on the rock wall, and there was a sarcophagus at the entrance of the cave.

The sarcophagus trembled, fell down, and hit Runsheng directly below.

Runsheng leaned back, kicked his legs against the rock wall, and flew backwards.

Below, Lin Shuyou immediately started to speak in spirit form.

In fact, he had already sensed the evil aura that was emanating from the sarcophagus since it appeared.

The vertical pupils opened and the White Crane Boy arrived.

The first thing the boy did was to open his arms and quickly retreat. After catching Runsheng in the middle of the fight, he continued to retreat to relieve the force.

In the past, the boy would only have his eyes on the sarcophagus and would not even consider saving his teammates.

Even if they wanted to save the person, they would just stand there stupidly and lift the person up to catch him, not caring whether the medium's arms would be broken.

Today’s boys are…very considerate.

The sarcophagus continued to slide down the rock wall, accelerating faster and faster, straight into the valley bottom and into the water.

"boom!"

The water in contact with the sarcophagus began to turn black, and then black mist rose.

Accompanied by continuous crisp sounds, it seemed as if something was about to break out of the coffin.

At this moment, Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng had already set up the formation and were staring at the sarcophagus.

Li Zhuiyuan's voice came: "It has come out from the bottom of the coffin, be careful!"

A black shadow gathered beside Yin Meng, and a pair of arms stretched out from the shadow.

Yin Meng raised the exorcism whip, held it horizontally at his side, blocked the arms, and then wrapped it around them, trying to tie up his hands.

However, a greater force came from those hands. Yin Meng had to give up his whip and quickly retreated.

"what!"

A roar came from the dark shadow, and then it rushed forward quickly.

Dark clouds began to gather in the small area above the construction site.

Tan Wenbin stepped forward, protecting Yin Meng behind him, while raising his right arm, holding a crossbow with two evil-breaking talismans on it.

"Whoosh!"

He pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow shot out, hitting the black shadow.

In an instant, the sound of firecrackers being set off during the New Year was heard.

Although the killing power is limited, it at least breaks up the black shadow and reveals its true form.

She was a woman covered in jewels, wearing a golden dress, a pearl crown on her head, and heavy silver ornaments on her hands, neck, and ears.

But his hair was unkempt, his complexion was dark blue, his eyes were bulging, and black sewage kept flowing out of his mouth, which really wasted his elegant and luxurious appearance.

Li Zhuiyuan felt that this should be a noble person buried in a local tomb, but was dug out by the old witch and used as bait.

Not to mention, judging from her appearance alone, she really does look like the old witch in the legend.

Tan Wenbin did not use the ghost-controlling technique. This technique would consume his life span. When Brother Xiaoyuan was present, he had to obey Brother Xiaoyuan's orders.

"Roar!"

The noblewoman bared her teeth and claws, venting her inner anger.

She was glorious during her lifetime and should have been buried quietly in the ground after her death, but she was forcibly dug out and tortured to death. Anyone would be angry to have to endure such torture.

She leaned forward, her feet didn't move, but she seemed to be sliding on the ground, quickly approaching Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin squatted down, and Yin Meng behind him waved out a colorful poisonous mist.

In this poisonous fog, the noble lady suddenly lost her sense of direction and began to scream continuously.

Yin Meng took the opportunity to grab Tan Wenbin's collar and pushed backwards. Tan Wenbin also pushed the ground with his legs. The two cooperated tacitly, retreated quickly, and escaped from the battle.

The team has its own procedures on how to fight, and the two of them are not front-line fighters.

At the same time, Runsheng and Lin Shuyou also came down from above, one in front and one behind, surrounding the noble lady.

However, the sinister and toxic fog could not distinguish between friend and foe.

At this moment, neither of them dared to rush into the poisonous fog to fight each other.

But soon, the poisonous fog dissipated, and the noblewoman's body was covered with dense herpes.

This made her, who was already ugly, even uglier.

Tan Wenbin was surprised and asked, "This kind of miasma has this effect now?"

Yin Meng: "In addition to the fixed combination, I also randomly add some other toxins into it every time."

Tan Wenbin licked his lips and said, "Mengmeng, listen to my advice. Don't take on any apprentices in the future."

Runsheng held the Yellow River shovel and Lin Shuyou held the trident, and they attacked the noble lady.

The noblewoman was very agile and her moves were swift, but at best, she was just a deadbeat who was good at close combat.

After Tan Wenbin used talisman paper to break the black mist surrounding its body, it turned into a pure beast.

This is the type of opponent that Runsheng and Lin Shuyou like the most. Don’t do any fancy tricks, just fight!
But even so, the battle situation is still quite tense.

Because Li Zhuiyuan had instructed us to take it easy this time and try not to get too injured.

The place where they really fight is at the bottom of the lake, that's where the real culprit is.

With the intention of preserving their condition, they would hold back their strength when fighting. Runsheng and Lin Shuyou tacitly adopted a war of attrition.

This was originally the shortcoming of the generals, but after Li Zhuiyuan's improvements and innovations, the generals were able to fight a protracted war.

The noble lady was entangled and suppressed by the two men. She couldn't hit them, nor could she run away. She kept roaring in frustration.

Li Zhuiyuan walked towards the battle area.

Xue Liangliang wanted to say "dangerous", but he immediately realized that he was not qualified to say such words, so he could only continue to hold the two steel bars and follow around like Qin Qiong holding two copper maces.

Li Zhuiyuan inserted a small flag into the center of the formation and then clapped his hands.

Runsheng and Lin Shuyou understood what she meant, and together they exerted greater pressure, forcing the noble lady step by step into the range of the formation.

After they entered, Li Zhuiyuan activated the formation.

The noblewoman's speed and reaction suddenly became slow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Yellow River Shovel and the Trident began to attack her frantically.

In an instant, gold, silver and jewelry were scattered all over the ground.

Tan Wenbin felt a little jealous and subconsciously whistled to cover up the embarrassment of his previous heartbeat.

When I turned my head, I saw Yin Meng beside me clenching his fists and his breathing became rapid.

Ever since she started to like shopping, her need for money has suddenly increased.

Tan Wenbin reminded quietly: "Don't worry, we will pick them up after the fight. They are all spoils of war."

Yin Meng looked at the young man who was controlling the formation over there.

Tan Wenbin whispered again: "Donate half to welfare institutions, and the other half to the owners of clothing stores on Pedestrian Street so they can pay their rent."

Yin Meng nodded.

"Ahhh!"

The noblewoman's ear-piercing screams echoed in the valley.

She has been feeling depressed ever since she was forcibly dug out of the cave.

There is no way. In history, there was a Dragon King who liked to be a lone ranger. With just his two fists, he conquered the entire river.

This should be the path Uncle Qin wanted to take in the first place.

But Li Zhuiyuan took the team route, focusing on team cooperation. If that were the case, they would still have to fight bloody battles, face life-and-death crises, and be covered in bruises every time... then what kind of team route is that?

In fact, among those who died at the hands of young men, few died happily in battle, and most of them died in a very miserable way.

However, even now, Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but sigh that this noble lady was really capable and must have been a figure when she was alive.

The boy was hesitating, should he take further action to speed up the process?
Hmm...it seems that there is no need for this. Delaying it for a while and beating it for a while longer will make it seem more realistic, and the old woman will feel more at ease.

"cough!"

Li Zhuiyuan coughed.

Tan Wenbin immediately understood and started shouting at the top of his voice: "Old witch, you should confess your crime and face the punishment. The law of heaven is clear. There is no place for evil spirits like you to stay!"

As soon as the shout came from the bow, everyone knew what to do.

Yin Meng shouted, "Old witch, stop struggling. We will kill you on behalf of the righteous path!"

Runsheng slapped him with a shovel, and as he switched his strength, he shouted, "Old witch, die!" White Crane Boy: "Old witch!"

On a mountain not too far from here.

An old man from the Miao village stood there holding a walking stick, and behind him were a group of young and strong people from the Miao village.

He had a sense when the sarcophagus was dug out.

When that dark cloud appears, it is almost a clear indication.

It seems that it was the young man who took action.

He had already said that he would not take part in the action against the old witch.

But when it really happened, he couldn't help but want to get closer to take a look.

Who would want to live in the shadow of an old hag forever?
In fact, he was the one who most wanted the old witch to be eliminated.

However, even though the people had arrived, he hesitated as to whether he should go down to help.

If we go down to join the team now and something goes wrong, and the old woman is not killed but escapes, then our village will be in trouble.

It would be fine if he was alone, but he didn't dare to gamble with the survival of the entire village.

At this time, the granddaughter A-mei who was standing next to Wen Xiushan said, "Grandpa, we have to go down and help and get revenge!"

"A-mei..."

"Grandpa, the old witch didn't kill us at the beginning, not because of her mercy, but because she couldn't do it yet. We have already offended her, how can we rely on the mercy of the evil demon for the safety of our village?"

Wen Xiushan took deep breaths and made a final struggle in his heart.

But soon, Wen Xiushan's struggle disappeared.

Because he saw the old witch suddenly rush towards the young man.

A sword appeared in the boy's hand, and then he broke the sword into two pieces and punched it forward.

The old witch let out a shrill scream, the sound of which even drifted to where she was standing, startling the surrounding birds.

Afterwards, the old woman fell to the ground. The other two young men who were able to fight with her in close combat took the opportunity to step forward and pinned her to the ground.

The old changeling was defeated and caught!

Wen Xiushan waved his hand and said, "Come on, kids, follow me to kill the old witch!"

Suddenly, a group of young and strong men from the Miao village ran down the mountain with roars coming from their mouths.

Li Zhuiyuan heard the noise and turned his head to look over there.

He didn't think that the Miao people came down here to pick peaches. No normal person would want to touch such unlucky peaches.

He admired the courage of these Miao people. Even if they didn't show up at first, they showed up anyway.

After all, except for Mr. Wen, the rest are ordinary people.

But the problem is that this is a bait. The noble lady in front of you is not a real old witch.

It is really unwise to end it at this time.

In fact, most people make this mistake and make the worst choice after constant hesitation.

If he failed to successfully kill the old witch, the children in this Miao village would definitely become the first targets of the old witch's blood sacrifice.

Li Zhuiyuan urged: "Solve it quickly."

Lin Shuyou stabbed the noblewoman's neck with a trident and forced her head up.

Runsheng inserted the Yellow River shovel into the noblewoman's mouth and pried her mouth open.

Yin Meng held a poison sac and took the opportunity to stuff it into the noblewoman's mouth.

The poison sac went down her throat, and soon, the noblewoman's body began to swell. When it swelled to an exaggerated degree...

Li Zhuiyuan: “Back off!”

Runsheng and Lin Shuyou retreated immediately, and the others also went to find nearby shelter.

Li Zhuiyuan did not retreat, but changed the formation to reduce the impact range and increase the suppression effect.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere, but these corrosive pieces of flesh and blood did not spread too far, but were blocked by an invisible barrier.

Li Zhuiyuan had asked everyone to retreat earlier for safety reasons. If any piece of meat accidentally broke through the range of the formation and touched someone, causing poisoning, it would be difficult even for Yin Meng to deal with it.

On the ground, there was a pool of exploded black, and the remaining flesh began to turn into pus.

Li Zhuiyuan held the evil-breaking talisman in his hand and threw it in, further stimulating the resentment and evaporation of toxins, as a way of cleaning up the mess.

After everything was settled, people from the Miao village rushed to the scene.

They really didn't waste time, after all, there was a mountain between them. And after seeing the old woman being subdued, they ran even faster, fearing that they would miss the last blow.

But unfortunately, Li Zhuiyuan did not give them this important experience of participation.

Wen Xiushan was old and was out of breath when he ran here, but he still took the initiative to step forward and shook Li Zhuiyuan's hand: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

Wen Xiushan said apologetically: "I'm late."

“It’s good to be here.”

"Unfortunately, I can't help at all."

"Then help clean up the construction site?"

"Okay, no problem. I'll tell them to do it right away." Wen Xiushan pointed around and spoke to them in Miao language. Then he pointed to the ground and said something sternly.

Next to her, A-mei explained, "Grandpa told us not to take the gold and silver on the ground. We have to clean and pack them up and give them all to the benefactor who saved the village."

Li Zhuiyuan said to Wen Xiushan: "The pensions for those three people should be paid from this. I think this is faster. If we want to go through the official certification process, it will be slower and more troublesome."

Wen Xiushan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said, "This is for you, sir. Our village will also prepare a thank-you gift for you."

"Then listen to me. I don't like arguing about this."

"Yes, sir. But this is too much."

"You leave enough, and give the rest to him." Li Zhuiyuan pointed at Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin stepped forward and said, "Donate the rest to the county to repair the roads. Repair as much as you can, even if it's just to fill in potholes."

Wen Xiushan said with emotion: "Sir, you are so righteous. I admire you, old man!"

Then, Wen Xiushan said, "Please come to my village for a banquet. We are celebrating tonight. Please do not refuse."

"Okay, I'll go." Li Zhuiyuan looked at the black pool left on the ground. "The old witch is dead. It's worth celebrating."

Yin Meng puffed out her cheeks, blew out several breaths in succession, then gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes a few times.

She was not expressing dissatisfaction with anyone. Even if she didn't get the gold, it didn't matter to her. But it was just like getting a red envelope during the Chinese New Year. She was about to put it in her pocket, but who knew it was gone again.

After Tan Wenbin finished negotiating with Wen Xiushan, he walked back and shrugged at Yin Meng.

It's not that he is not loyal or doesn't keep his word, but since they have come, you have to say some nice words to maintain Brother Yuanzi's appearance.

Yin Meng smiled and indicated that she didn't take it to heart.

At this time, Runsheng walked past Yin Meng and put something heavy into her hand.

Yin Meng pinched it, then subconsciously pinched it with her fingernails. Hey, it was a little soft.

"buying clothes."

After saying this, Runsheng went to help clean the construction site.

When he had been fighting in close combat with the noblewoman before, a lot of the gold on her body had bounced onto him, so it was normal for him to pick up a piece and put it in his pocket.

"Oh, are you happy?" Tan Wenbin leaned over again.

"No way." Yin Meng carefully put the lump into her bag.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyuan has good hearing. Do you think he didn't hear it?"

"Huh..." Yin Meng breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll go help clean up."

Tan Wenbin took a break, found a cement block to sit on, and lit a cigarette.

At this time, Lin Shuyou came over and handed over a piece of golden.

"Brother Bin, here you go."

"Heh." Tan Wenbin almost choked on his cigarette with laughter. "Why are you doing this to me? Just hide it yourself."

"buying clothes."

"I'm a man, why should I buy any clothes?"

"Use it to buy clothes for your sister-in-law."

……

The dinner in the Miao village was very lively.

After everyone had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, they sang and danced around the fire.

Everyone was warmly received and no one was left out.

After all, in the ancient supernatural stories, they were the triumphant warriors who defeated the devil.

At the end of the story, there must be a description of celebrating the victory.

At the instruction of Li Zhuiyuan, Runsheng, Yin Meng, Tan Wenbin, Lin Shuyou and others went to dance together.

However, while you can eat and play, don’t drink too much, as there will be real activities in the second half of the night.

Ran Dacheng was also called to join the celebration. He was far away when the incident happened and didn't know what exactly happened. He only remembered hearing bursts of ghostly howling.

Now he was drunk and his mind was not very clear. He just wanted to join in the fun.

However, the handle of his tractor had been inadvertently taken by Tan Wenbin and held for him.

"Want to go dancing for fun?" Xue Liangliang asked Li Zhuiyuan.

"Brother Liangliang, go play."

"It would be a pity not to go, this is the real authentic ethnic style. When life gets better in the future, it will be difficult to experience it again."

"why?"

"Celebrations that are genuine and sincere are joyful, but celebrations that are purely for show are meaningless."

"Oh."

"Then I'll go." Xue Liangliang stood up and left his seat, joining the ocean of joy.

Li Zhuiyuan still sat there.

A-mei brought some food and placed it in front of Li Zhuiyuan, and asked curiously, "Sir, aren't you going to play?"

"I don't like excitement."

A-mei: "Sorry, we didn't think it through."

"It's okay, as long as they like it, you don't have to stay here with me, go play."

Since entering the Miao village, A-mei has basically sat next to him, serving him tea and water, and her eyes have rarely left him.

"It's okay. You can dance and sing anytime. I just like looking at you, sir."

"Is there something dirty on my face?"

"No, sir, you are really good-looking. It's a pity that you are a little young. If you were a few years older..."

A-mei had been drinking, and at this moment she took the initiative to stick out her tongue and lick her lips.

It doesn't feel wild, but rather just the right amount of cheerfulness and sweetness.

Li Zhuiyuan lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"Sir, do you have someone you like?"

"You already said that I'm still young."

Ah Mei held her chin with her hand and looked straight at Li Zhuiyuan: "Then I can wait until you grow up, sir. In the end, I still got the upper hand."

"Where's your grandfather?"

"The old witch is dead, but Achai is better now. Grandpa went to see him."

"Oh, congratulations."

"This is all thanks to you, sir."

A-mei held up a wine glass and came closer, pressing her soft body against Li Zhuiyuan.

"Have a drink, sir."

"I'm still young and can't drink."

Diagonally in front, Tan Wenbin, who was originally dancing in a circle, had actually been paying attention to Brother Xiaoyuan.

At this moment, seeing Brother Xiaoyuan and the little girl sitting so close to each other, Tan Wenbin not only did not have the slightest expression of watching the fun and show on his face, but instead his eyes were solemn.

He would rather believe that the sun will rise from the west tomorrow than believe that Brother Xiaoyuan could suddenly become so close to a stranger.

There is definitely something wrong here!
Runsheng and Yin Meng also noticed the situation here, and they seemed to be planning to leave the celebration team and walk over.

Except for Lin Shuyou, everyone else noticed something was wrong.

The main reason was that Lin Shuyou was being pulled by two enthusiastic Miao girls to dance together. He lowered his head and blushed, and didn't have time to observe over here.

Tan Wenbin immediately raised his hand and called out to Runsheng and Yin Meng to continue dancing.

The meaning is very clear, don't go over and cause trouble, Brother Xiaoyuan must have his own reasons.

"How long do you plan to stay here, sir?"

"Now that the matter at the construction site has been resolved, I should be leaving soon."

"Life is still inconvenient in our mountains."

"Well, I like life in the city."

"I want to go to the city, too." A-mei said with a smile, then put her arm around the boy and drank by herself.

After drinking the wine, she put her lips close to Li Zhuiyuan and wanted to kiss him on the face.

Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand to stop her action.

"you're drunk."

"I'm not drunk."

"I'd better go and dance with them."

Li Zhuiyuan left his seat and walked into the crowd.

"Hehehe..."

A-mei stayed where she was and laughed even louder.

At this time, Wen Xiushan came back and said happily: "Achai has regained consciousness. Once the old witch dies, he will be fine."

"That's great, Grandpa."

"Yes, that's great. As for sir, didn't I ask you to entertain him well while I'm away?"

"The gentleman went to dance."

"Oh, go get me some more wine, the one I have brewed at home."

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll get it for you right away."

A-mei got up, left the noisy crowd, and went home.

After entering the house, she walked up the bamboo ladder and came to her room on the second floor.

He pushed the door open, walked to the bed and sat down.

Her legs were dangling gently under the bed, making her look like a playful girl.

As her feet pulled, the bed cloth underneath was kicked open again and again. Faintly, one could see an identical girl lying under the bed, her eyes wide open in fear, motionless.

Gradually, the girl on the bed stopped moving. She just froze there, gradually becoming flat and transparent.

At the same time, in the main temple of Zhaojun Temple under the lake in the distance, on the altar, a disheveled woman sat on the steps in the same posture as the girl in the Miao village, and she began to pat her abdomen.

Her belly began to grow bigger and more transparent.

Through the medium as transparent as glass, the woman looked at the baby in her belly.

The boy at this time was already 90% similar to Li Zhuiyuan.

"That's great, I really like him, he's so handsome, so smart, I want to eat him up in one bite.

You know, mom looked at him closely for a long time today, and mom really wants to have a child like him.

But it will be soon, it will be very soon, my child, you will be born soon, hehe."

The ferocity in the woman's left eye was so intense that it almost turned into tears, while the kindness in her right eye was so deep that it was hard to extricate oneself from the sight.

She stroked her belly over and over again, her face full of anticipation.

Suddenly, the woman was stunned, but soon, she showed ecstasy again:

"Child, are you able to talk to your mother now?"

"Hehe, I told you that young man is very smart. You were conceived based on his image, so you must be very smart too."

"What, what did you say?"

The woman lowered her head, put her ear to her bulging belly, and listened attentively.

"What did you say? Say it again?"

"You said he had already discovered that I was fake?"

The woman continued to listen, then she raised her head in astonishment, staring at her stomach, and said in disbelief:
"You still say that I, your mother, am...stupid?"
