Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 177

The tea party ended and we walked out of the hotel.

Xue Liangliang sat down beside the flower bed, took out a cigarette box and gave one to Tan Wenbin.

After Tan Wenbin took the cigarette, he took out his lighter and lit it for Xue Liang first, then said with a smile:

"Congratulations, Brother Liang."

Xue Liangliang sighed and let out a smoke ring.

There is often a long interval between the announcement of a large project and its official start of construction.

Restarting a closed project that has had problems will be more time-consuming and labor-intensive than starting from scratch. Moreover, Project 572 has been closed twice in history, and both times serious and strange accidents occurred.

Therefore, the preparation time required for it to start construction again will only be longer.

The part that Engineer Luo is responsible for is just like the previous incident of the dragon sucking water from Gaoyou Lake. He leads the team to provide professional technical support.

The teams responsible for other parts also need to prepare and organize.

According to Mr. Luo's estimate, this will take at least another year.

As one of the persons in charge of a certain aspect of the project that had been scheduled in advance, Mr. Luo has only received two pieces of information so far.

The first is a notice to restart the project;

The second is to form a project team in advance.

Special projects have extremely high confidentiality requirements, but confidentiality here does not mean that all people involved in the project must be isolated from the world.

The top leaders who have access to the core of the project naturally have their own special standards, but the people below who are responsible for a large number of specific sub-tasks do not need to be so strict, and may even appear to be more relaxed.

After all, as long as the task responsibilities are broken down specifically enough, even the front-line personnel involved in the project will only be unable to see the true face of the mountain because they are in the mountain themselves.

People are required to look for candidates for the new project team from universities.

First, it is neither realistic nor cost-effective to gather together the personnel who have already entered the job positions for training and to keep them on standby, and the impact is uncontrollable.

Second, considering the training and development of relevant talents, instead of gathering the old guys again, it is better to start building a talent team directly.

The reason why Tan Wenbin congratulated Xue Liangliang was that Mr. Luo entrusted the task of forming a new team to Xue Liangliang.

Just like a young soldier eager for war to establish merit.

Because of the special period, promotion channels will become more spacious.

Xue Liangliang has been accumulating experience for the past two years. Even though he has been accumulating experience smoothly, he still has to go through this process.

Now, his process has been greatly shortened and he has the opportunity to make a leap forward.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to be capable enough to withstand the test, otherwise you will be unworthy of your position and fall miserably.

At this moment, Xue Liangliang did not feel any joy or excitement for getting such a precious opportunity, nor did he feel any nervousness or anxiety.

He just knew that after taking on the new job, the frequency of his "going home" would have to be greatly reduced.

In the past, he ran around everywhere, following one project after another. It seemed very tiring, but the work was staged, so he had many opportunities to return to Nantong.

Once a new job starts, he will be personally responsible for everything from screening, assessment, training, internship, exercise, etc.

If you are irresponsible, you can be very leisurely, but if you are responsible, it almost means almost unlimited work content in a short period of time.

Because your time no longer belongs to you alone, if you want to seize the opportunity to return to Nantong, you will have to bear the inner moral guilt.

"Brother Liang, this is a good thing. I believe that my sister-in-law will support you."

Tan Wenbin patted Xue Liangliang on the shoulder. He knew that he was talking nonsense, but at the moment, he could only talk nonsense.

Xue Liangliang nodded: "I am about to set off back to Jinling. The team size is initially set at 30 people. It would be great if there were only three of us."

There were three people, exactly the three in front of me, Xiaoyuan, Binbin and Lin Shuyou.

Xue Liangliang believes that in the entire Haihe University, there are no more professional students than the three in front of him.

Li Zhuiyuan: "If you need any help, just tell me."

Xue Liangliang smiled and said, "Of course, I wouldn't be polite."

After saying that, Xue Liangliang waved his hand, walked to the side of the road, and got into the taxi that was parked there waiting for passengers.

Li Zhuiyuan knew that Brother Liangliang would probably jump into the river again before leaving Nantong.

For a long time to come, Xue Liangliang will not come back here.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Let's go back too."

Lin Shuyou went to the roadside and stopped a new car.

On the way back, Li Zhuiyuan was once again calculating the time in his heart, but this time he was not calculating the time it would take to get home.

Under the underground palace, Li Zhuiyuan once obtained a rotten bamboo slip from the masked man.

After the technology was restored, he asked the old professors in the Jingli Family Compound to help him decipher the code, and he obtained the nine coordinates.

These nine coordinates are scattered everywhere, they are:
White Mountains and Black Waters, the South of the Colorful Clouds, the Northern Grasslands, the Vast Desert, the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Thousand Island Lake, the Tianfu Basin, the plateau glaciers, and the last one is in the sea.

Among them, there are three places where Li Zhuiyuan has already made specific guesses.

Tianfu Basin should refer to the ghost town of Fengdu.

The White Mountains and Black Waters should refer to the Goguryeo tomb in Ji'an.

The coordinates in the sea should be the location of the big turtle.

When he first got these nine coordinates, Li Zhuiyuan felt that they were very far away from him.

But when Engineer Luo announced in front of him that the 572 civil air defense project would be restarted, the boy suddenly realized that what was coming...it was finally coming.

He didn't know whether he had to visit all nine secret realms, but the three that were known so far were all directly related to him.

So, very early on, Jiang Shui had already given himself the final big question. What is this called... a joint examination of nine provinces?
After arriving home, Li Zhuiyuan did not rush back to his great-grandfather's house. Instead, after informing Binbin and Ayou, he went to Big Beard's house alone.

On the dam at Big Beard's house, Xiao Yingying was making paper-cut objects.

Seeing the young man coming, Xiao Yingying looked up first, and when she saw that the young man did not walk towards the dam, she lowered her head and continued to work.

Li Zhuiyuan walked straight towards the peach forest.

Deep in the peach forest, there was a small fence covered with peach blossoms. Benben was lying inside, playing by himself.

After seeing Li Zhuiyuan, Benben laughed out loud.

Li Zhuiyuan chose a peach tree nearby and sat down with his back leaning against it.

We sat like this until almost dusk.

During this period, two special whirlwinds arose in the peach forest. Li Zhuiyuan noticed them but did not take any action.

After stretching, Li Zhuiyuan stood up, walked out of the peach forest and went home.

A stronger wind blew in the peach forest, bringing a whistling sound.

Xiao Yingying put down the paper-made figures, walked down the dam, entered the peach forest, and picked up Benben.

Benben stretched out his hands, trying to catch the peach blossoms flying in front of him. The child didn't feel scared. He found everything he encountered interesting.

Xiao Yingying knew that person was very angry now.

She didn't know why it was angry. Was it because of what it talked about with the boy?

What Xiao Yingying didn't know was that the reason she was angry was that the young man didn't chat with her at all. He simply treated this place as a peach orchard where he could meditate.

……

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Xiao Hei barked wildly at Run Sheng.

When Xiao Hei was in college, he always slept in the same room with Runsheng and was fed by Runsheng on weekdays. The relationship between the man and the dog could be said to be quite good.

But since returning from Guizhou this time, whenever Runsheng wanted to feed it, every time he got close, Xiaohei would immediately stand up and drive Runsheng away in a very unfriendly manner.

This would have been almost unimaginable in the past.

It doesn't just mean a breakdown in the relationship between man and dog, but that Xiao Hei has always been lazy. In Li Sanjiang's words, even if he uses the dog to guard the door, if a thief breaks into the house and empties it out, it will just blame the thief for making too much noise and disturbing its sleep.

Since he was little, Xiao Hei has rarely barked. At first, people thought he was a mute dog.

"Okay, let me feed you."

Yin Meng heard the noise and came out, took the soup bowl from Runsheng's hand, and handed the medicine to Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei stopped barking and lowered his head to start taking the tonic.

But while eating, she still kept a wary eye on him, fearing that Runsheng would get close to her.

Yin Meng: "You ate that Gu Tong, and your aura has become mixed. It's afraid of you."

Runsheng: "It's not afraid of me."

Yin Meng: "What is that?"

Runsheng: "It thought I was occupied by another person."

"What's the difference?"

"There is a difference. It is thinking about me."

Runsheng approached again, Xiaohei stopped drinking the tonic and started barking at Runsheng again.

This time, Runsheng did not retreat like he did in the previous few days, but accelerated and came in front of Xiaohei.

"Wang!"

Xiao Hei pounced towards Run Sheng and opened his mouth to bite him.

The Wuhei Dog is a beast with abundant Yang energy. In addition, this dog in our family has been fed with tonics since childhood. Even if it is lazy on weekdays, the ferocious nature in its bones cannot be ignored by anyone.

Runsheng raised his hands to block in front of him, and Xiaohei bit Runsheng's wrist and did not let go, even though his body was hung in the air by Runsheng.

However, Runsheng not only did not shake it off, but squatted down, ignoring the pain of being bitten by the dog, and placed Xiao Hei on his lap.

Xiao Hei was still growling in his throat, and blood was flowing out of the wound on his wrist, staining his white teeth red.

Runsheng raised his other hand and touched Xiaohei's dog head.

Yin Meng asked worriedly: "When will you be able to completely digest that thing?"

Runsheng shook his head: "If it is digested, then it would be a waste of food, right?"

Yin Meng pointed at Runsheng and said, "Are you keeping it on purpose?"

Runsheng didn't answer, which was considered as his consent.

"Runsheng, do you know how dangerous it is to keep something like this in your body?"

"I just know that I will become more dangerous because of it."

"You guys are all crazy."

Yin Meng also included Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou in this category.

Until now, Tan Wenbin is still gloomy, but he still doesn't want to be disciplined by Brother Xiaoyuan.

Lin Shuyou spent the whole day thinking about how to overdraw and squeeze out his body's potential in order to delay the arrival of the White Crane Boy.

As wave after wave goes by, people pay less and less attention to their own bodies. They all feel that life is a gift from another place, and the more they have been given it, the less they cherish it.

Runsheng looked at Yin Meng without saying anything.

In fact, of all people, she should be the one who looks most like a madman.

Yin Meng squatted beside her and spread her palms. The poisonous insect jumped out, like a toy that came at her call, and she played with it like a walnut.

"Should I give it a name, too?"

Runsheng: "No need to take it."

"why?"

"If you don't give me a name, I won't feel bad if I die."

Yin Meng was stunned for a moment, but not angry, she nodded in agreement:
"Makes sense."

The poisonous insect in the palm of his hand suddenly crawled faster.

Time passes slowly.

Xiao Hei bit it for a long time, and Run Sheng also touched it for a long time.

Gradually, the anger in Xiao Hei's eyes faded, and he slowly opened his mouth. Then, he stuck out his tongue and licked the wound on Runsheng's wrist that he had bitten.

It confirmed that the person in front of it had not had his body taken away.

Runsheng picked up the half-finished bowl of tonic and brought it to Xiaohei. Xiaohei finished the tonic and licked the plate, which was a rare occurrence for him.

In the past, if it had been well fed and well cared for every day, it would not have done this.

Runsheng pointed to the doghouse.

Xiao Hei turned around, walked in, lay down, and began to fall asleep.

It shouted so many times today and even bit someone. For it, this was a rare and huge consumption in its life. It needs to have a good rest to recover its strength.

Yin Meng: "Let me help you take care of your wound."

"No need, Xiao Hei's body is clean, I can just rinse it with well water."

Runsheng walked to the well, fetched some water and used it to rinse the wound.

After the red blood outside was washed away, the blood groove bitten by the dog could be seen, with a charred black color inside.

This is caused by the conflict between the Five Black Dog's physique and the aura in his body. In other words, the evil aura in his body is now very strong.

Runsheng took out a talisman drawn by Xiaoyuan from his pocket and stuck it on the wound. The talisman paper did not turn completely black, but turned gray.

Runsheng sighed as he stroked the wound with his fingertips.

It seems that I have to trouble Xiaoyuan.

He never cared whether he was a freak or not. Anyway, when he was a child, he was used to being called a "freak" by his peers in the village because of his habit of being popular.

What he cared about was that if the aura on him was too strong, it would cause misunderstanding and affect Xiaoyuan's next trip across the river.

Just at this time, Li Zhuiyuan returned from Big Beard's house.

"Xiaoyuan."

"Brother Runsheng?"

Runsheng raised his bitten wrist. Li Zhuiyuan took a look and said with a smile, "Brother Runsheng, go to the workshop and wait for me."

"it is good."

Runsheng walked to the back of the house.

Li Zhuiyuan was about to go upstairs and met Yin Meng on the way.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, Runsheng..."

"It's okay, I have a solution."

Yin Meng nodded: "That's good, that's good, I was so worried."

"By the way, where are Binbin and Ayou?"

"After they came back in the afternoon, Uncle Li asked them to collect the tables and chairs."

Li Zhuiyuan suddenly felt that he should have taken them to the peach forest to sit together, otherwise he would not have been put on the reins by his grandfather and forced to pull the mill just after he returned home.

In fact, Li Zhuiyuan knew clearly what his companions were thinking.

In the early days, their development paths were designed by themselves.

But now, they have their own subjective initiative.

Although, sometimes even Li Zhuiyuan felt that what they did was very dangerous, he had no way to stop them.

No one wants to be a burden to the team, and everyone wants to play a greater role when traveling along the river.

Moreover, in addition to the interests of the team, there are also personal development needs.

They are human beings, not tools in your eyes. Sometimes, what you think is best may not be the most suitable for them.

I went to the second floor and walked into my room, where Ari was drawing.

For this painting, the parts of Lin Shuyou and Yin Meng have been completed, and the part of Tan Wenbin is being painted.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at the half tablet that was left in the room. It was not enough.

Ali put down her paintbrush and prepared to go out. She knew what the boy meant.

The tacit understanding between the two of them has long reached the point where they don't need to talk, just look at each other. Well, Ari can't speak either.

But even though it was something that everyone was used to for A-li using the tablet as material, Li Zhuiyuan was still embarrassed to let A-li do it with just a look.

This time it was my direct need, so naturally, I had to speak up myself.

People can pretend to be ignorant when they know the truth, but they cannot pretend to be ignorant deliberately.

He held A'li's hand, walked downstairs and came to the east room.

Liu Yumei was in the room, designing clothes with a brush in her hand. Next to her was a painting of A'li, and what she was drawing was a boy's suit.

Aunt Liu just came in from the warehouse, holding tablets, and was now restocking the out-of-stock ancestral tablets.

Just at this moment, two young customers came into the store.

Liu Yumei was a little surprised and asked: "What is this?"

Li Zhuiyuan said to Liu Yumei, "Grandma Liu."

Then, the young man looked at the tablet on the altar.

Although the goods were purchased in a hurry, Liu Yumei was already used to it. She just waved her hand and indicated that she could help herself.

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the altar and bowed to the tablet on the altar:

"My junior waiter Runsheng has some problems and needs to make wooden nails to suppress them. I would like to ask for your help, seniors!"

When saying these words, Li Zhuiyuan kept his voice very low.

When the young man started talking, Liu Yumei suddenly felt a sense of alarm in her heart and immediately blocked her perception.

Aunt Liu was standing nearby, still admiring the two children's selections, but after hearing these words, her throat immediately felt sweet.

This is the first time that I made blood from eating melon seeds!

Aunt Liu's reaction also puzzled Li Zhuiyuan.

Aunt Liu waved her hands to indicate that she was fine.

Seeing that the young man agreed, A'li began to turn over the cards for his ancestors.

She knew that Runsheng had sixteen valves on his body, so sixteen large wooden nails were needed.

However, the tablet has its fixed shape after all, with a thick base and a narrow top.

In the past, using it to plan wood curls was considered to be the maximum utilization efficiency.

But this time, one tablet could only be made of one large wooden nail, and the rest were waste, so this time, Ari chose sixteen tablets.

She couldn't handle it by herself, so Li Zhuiyuan took it over.

Since the early days when he accompanied the girl to dinner, Li Zhuiyuan knew that the girl had always had obsessive-compulsive disorder, so every time she chose a tablet, she would choose the old one first.

This can be considered as equal treatment. No ancestor will be "abused" and no ancestor will receive preferential treatment from girls.

After the two of them went out carrying the tablets, Liu Yumei looked at the line of tablets which had become sparse, her eyes filled with thought.

Aunt Liu pulled out a handkerchief and spat out the blood in her mouth. She said in disbelief, "Madam, why is this happening?"

Liu Yumei: "I don't know why, but the karma taboos on this child have suddenly become more serious, so serious that I am afraid."

Aunt Liu: "Ali wasn't like this before."

Outside the house, Uncle Qin, who had just returned from delivering paper-made items, was going to the east room to report as usual.

Just as he reached the door and heard these words, he was about to stop and go to the fields to see if there was any work he could do.

But here, he couldn't just jump up and leave. Moving at the speed of an ordinary person would definitely not be as fast as making a sound.

Liu Yumei: "Ali's journey along the river is not of much reference value."

It was not as uncomfortable as he had imagined. Uncle Qin felt he was used to it, so he picked up the hoe.

Aunt Liu: "Then..."

Liu Yumei: “I have seen people who have successfully crossed the river, but they have never encountered a situation like Xiaoyuan so early in the process.

Our Xiaoyuan is really special, it seems like he has received more care from Jiang Shui…” Liu Yumei wanted to say “care”, but she couldn’t say the word no matter what.

Where does this care come from?
But she also felt it was inappropriate for her to say bad things about Jiang Shui now.

Liu Yumei looked at Aunt Liu and asked, "Are you okay?"

"No problem."

"Yes." Liu Yumei once again set her eyes on the ancestral tablet and said with a smile, "By the way, when you order the tablet in the future, please order more rare materials."

"Madam, what do you mean?"

When it comes to ancestral tablets, Aunt Liu doesn't dare to act freely.

"What I mean is that a set of tablets can have a variety of different materials, not just limited to the top-grade thunder wood."

"I see."

"Also, the styles can be more diverse."

"shape?"

"There are big and small ones, thick and thin ones, and there is more than one size for tablets."

"Different specifications, put them in one set?"

"Why not? For those with a higher generation, you should take on a bigger role, and for those with a lower generation, you should take on a smaller role, so as to distinguish the seniority among them.

This will also make it easier for us to collect materials.”

"clear."

Liu Yumei slapped her forehead and blamed herself, "Oh, why did I only think of this now?"

"what do you mean……"

"It is natural for us to worship the tablet; it is also natural for Ah Li, as a family member, to use and change the tablet; and the relationship between Ah Li and him is very special.

Haha, now it seems that the loss of these guys’ spirits is not all bad, at least here, it is equivalent to breaking the cause and effect.”

Aunt Liu suddenly realized: "Madam, I understand."

Xiaoyuan left the country suddenly, and there were so many good things in the ancestral home that no one had time to give Xiaoyuan anything.

Now, the ancestral tablets... are the only channel through which the Qin and Liu families can transfer benefits to Xiaoyuan.

Therefore, the mistress will diversify her selection of materials and specifications so as to broaden the scope of profit transfer.

Liu Yumei: "Well, you can also inlay it on the memorial tablet... Never mind, too much is as bad as too little. You should be careful about it. The memorial tablet should look like a memorial tablet after all. It can be extravagant, but it can't be too outrageous."

"Don't worry, I understand."

"Go get ready."

"Yes."

After Aunt Liu left, Liu Yumei sat back in her chair. She had just wanted to ask Aunt Liu to try to inlay some things on the tablet.

For example, some beads and runes, whether the ancestor liked to use knives, swords, read books, or look at paintings, all of which would be matched.

But just as she was about to express this thought, the warning signs that had appeared earlier reappeared.

You can exploit the loopholes of the Way of Heaven to some extent, but never treat the Way of Heaven as a fool.

Once you step out of line, it will be no different from just sending it directly and you will have to bear the causal backlash.

Liu Yumei picked up the paintbrush and continued to design clothes for the boy.

She often regretted one thing, which was why she didn't give the boy something earlier.

In the past, children from the Qin and Liu families would always have some good things with them since they were young. The Longwang family had this foundation.

But Xiaoyuan didn't.

Her original intention was to take Xiao Yuan to Qin Liu's ancestral home after the initiation ceremony. After all, as the only heir of the contemporary era, he could choose anything in the ancestral home that he liked and could handle.

But unfortunately, once she entered the door, she would be able to walk along the river, so she lost this opportunity.

Although he inherited the legacy of two Dragon King families, he acted like a gangster when he traveled on the river, and ended up going from a rich man to a poor man.

However, he looked down at the jade ring on his finger.

She had wanted to give this thing to the child as a gift when they first met, but the child refused to accept it.

Perhaps, this is God's will. Before they got married, the child would not want it even if I wanted to give it to him.

As she was painting, Liu Yumei glanced back at the altar and said self-deprecatingly:
"You never thought that after a lifetime of luxury, I would be forced to raise a child in poverty when I am old."

……

Sixteen tablets were carried into the small workshop.

Runsheng had been sitting inside waiting for a long time.

Ali picked up the ink pen and began to draw the tablet with familiarity.

Then take out the tools and start carving.

Li Zhuiyuan was helping out.

Runsheng wanted to help, but he couldn't do such delicate work. He could only help deal with the countertop and polish some tools.

Wooden nails are not difficult to make, and there is no need to perform detailed texture carving, so it is not time-consuming.

High-end tablets, even in their original form, can still exert miraculous suppressive effects.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!"

Li Zhuiyuan opened two bottles of Jianlibao, and he and A'li each took one and started drinking.

"Ari, go and have a rest."

Ali nodded and her eyes fell on the can of Jianlibao in the boy's hand.

She will no longer collect ordinary beverage cans, after all, the quality of her collection has improved.

But she still wanted the can that they opened and drank from together.

Li Zhuiyuan could only raise his head, drink the rest of the drink in one gulp, and then hand the can to A'li.

Ahri took the jar, a satisfied look in her eyes, and left the workshop.

"Brother Runsheng, please take off your clothes."

"it is good."

Runsheng took off his clothes.

Once, Uncle Qin used sixteen coffin nails to help Run Sheng open the valve, and taught the body-building technique of "Qin's Jiao-Watching Method" in the most rigid way.

Today, the wound has long since healed, and the circular marks similar to those left by cupping have become very faint.

But today, Li Zhuiyuan has to drill the valve again.

Li Zhuiyuan picked up a wooden nail and a hammer and started hammering nails into the valve position.

"Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding!"

Li Zhuiyuan's hands were sticky with Runsheng's blood.

Fortunately, the blood spurts only for a short while after the nail is driven in. Once the nail is driven in, Runsheng will contract his muscles and stop the bleeding on his own.

Runsheng didn't feel any pain, and didn't even frown. He just said apologetically, "Xiaoyuan, I won't eat carelessly next time."

"In fact, the corpse of the Gu child you ate was just a catalyst. The Qin family's Jiao-watching technique is endless. Even if you are not fighting, it is always tempering your muscles, bones, skin and flesh when you eat and sleep. When you have been tempered to a certain extent, those things in your bones will inevitably be stimulated."

If Runsheng had followed Uncle Shan all his life and been an ordinary corpse retriever, his nature would not have been stimulated and he would have been able to live a peaceful life, albeit a strange one.

But Runsheng followed him on his journey across the river, fighting time and time again, getting seriously injured time and time again, and his true side was revealed.

Runsheng's expression was a little gloomy and his eyes were lowered.

This was the first time that Xiaoyuan told him almost clearly that he was not a human.

Although, he had already known this fact.

Which normal person can't eat without something delicious? Which normal person has a strong appetite for dirty meat?
Li Zhuiyuan continued hammering nails and said:
"That's great. We brothers are not human. We are monsters in human skin."

Runsheng raised his head and looked at the boy.

The boy was smiling.

But through the smile, Runsheng could see the pain in the boy's body when he said this.

He knew that the words "a monster in human skin" were the most harsh words to the boy, but the boy took the initiative to say it out loud and made fun of it in order to comfort himself.

"Xiaoyuan."

It's just a call, no more words can be said, and there is no need to say them.

Neither of them remembers the scene in that dream.

In the dream, even though he was controlled by the dream ghost and became a puppet, Runsheng still did not obey the orders of his "master" and attacked Xiaoyuan.

This matter can be forgotten, because there is no need to insist on remembering some things, they are all in the heart anyway.

"Alright, Brother Runsheng, now you must start practicing the Qin Family Dragon Watching Technique again, and follow my instructions. If I tell you to go faster, you go faster. If I tell you to stop, you stop. If I tell you to go against the flow... you go against the flow."

"it is good."

Although Li Zhuiyuan has not started practicing martial arts, his understanding of "Qin's Method of Watching Dragons" is better than that of Uncle Qin.

Under his command, Runsheng began to practice the method again.

"Uh...uh...uh..."

Runsheng let out a painful growl.

"Pause."

Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand to signal, and then set up a simple soundproofing formation for the small workshop.

"Okay, now that no one outside can hear you, continue."

"what!!!!!!"

Runsheng began to roar in pain.

This is just like animals needing to grind their teeth. Li Zhuiyuan is equivalent to grinding Runsheng's teeth.

The evil energy that was growing stronger and stronger in his body was forcibly crushed.

In reality, it is like Runsheng is polishing his own flesh and bones.

The pain here is far greater than scraping bones to treat poison.

However, Runsheng managed to endure it all.

"Okay, that's enough."

"Huh...huh..."

Runsheng panted and raised his head, the luster in his eyes became deeper.

The originally large muscles have now shrunk and become lean. Although the whole person is still very big, he is a little thinner than before.

Judging from his temperament, he already has some of Uncle Qin's shadow.

When "animality" is transformed into humanity, it will not become weaker, but stronger, because only humans can use strength reasonably when they are in a sober state.

The change in temperament also means that Runsheng has truly mastered the art of body training.

Although, he chose to use brute force to break down the door.

But he really managed to create a gap.

The most important thing is that the evil aura on his body was suppressed, so if Xiao Hei bites him again, he won't suffer that kind of evil-causing wound.

Li Zhuiyuan took out the talisman paper he had drawn and pasted it on the wound on Runsheng's wrist, but the talisman paper did not change.

"Brother Runsheng, thank you for your hard work."

Runsheng shook his head, then looked at Li Zhuiyuan and said:

"Xiaoyuan."

"Ok?"

"Let's be human together, okay?"

……

When Li Sanjiang came back with a cigarette in his mouth, Runsheng had just taken a shower at the wellhead on the dam and was preparing to clean up the blood that had been washed off his body.

"What's going on? There's so much blood on the ground. Did they kill a pig at home?"

Runsheng scratched his head and said, "Uncle Li, I did it."

"You did it? Did you have a heavy bleeding during childbirth?"

Li Zhuiyuan had just dismantled the formation in the small workshop and walked out to wash his hands. Hearing the conversation outside, the young man said directly:
"Grandpa, Aunt Liu was preparing to make blood stew, but I accidentally knocked it over. Brother Runsheng is helping me clean it up."

Li Sanjiang: "It's overturned, it's no big deal. I don't like to eat blood curd, it will easily make me get angry."

Li Zhuiyuan squatted down by the well and washed his hands.

A manual pump is installed on the wellhead, so you no longer need to tie a bucket and a rope to draw water. Just press it a few times. There will always be a cup of water next to it. When the wellhead dries up and no water can be pumped out during the day, just pour a cup of water into it.

Li Sanjiang looked at Runsheng in a strange way and asked in confusion, "Why does it seem that Runshenghou has lost some weight?"

"no?"

"No, you've lost some weight." Li Sanjiang approached and kicked Runsheng, who was squatting on the ground mopping the floor. "If the mountain guys come and see you, they'll think I'm not giving you food. Remember to eat more and put the weight back on."

"Okay, Uncle Li." Runsheng responded with a smile. He is good at eating.

Li Sanjiang looked at Li Zhuiyuan and said, "Well, Xiao Yuanhou, come with me."

"Okay, Master."

Runsheng handed over a handkerchief. Li Zhuiyuan wiped his hands and followed Li Sanjiang into the house.

Unexpectedly, entering the house was not enough, Li Sanjiang signaled Li Zhuiyuan to follow him upstairs.

It was not until he followed her into the room that the old man took out a lottery ticket from his pocket.

"Xiao Yuanhou, look at what this is."

"Grandpa, did you go to draw the prize?"

In recent years, the trend of lucky draws can be said to be prevalent everywhere.

Whenever the lottery is held in a town, there are counters selling lottery tickets on both sides of the road, with salesmen in uniform standing behind them. Villagers nearby are attracted to the counter and it is as lively as a market.

The scraped-off lottery tickets paved the road beneath our feet layer by layer.

"The people who touch the prizes are not as smart as those who sell them. I just picked it up."

"Picked it up?"

"Yes, take a look."

Li Zhuiyuan took the ticket, which read "Five-day luxury tour for two people in Beijing."

"Hehe, look at my luck. I heard from Zhuangzhuang that you guys are busy with internships and don't need to go to school anymore. You don't have anything to do now, so you can go to Beijing and take a look.

You don't have to go to your mother's place, but don't you have relatives in Beijing?"

"Master, I don't want to go back to Beijing. I am very happy living here."

"I'm not asking you to go back to Beijing to live. This is a package tour. It would be a waste if you don't go."

"But I can't go, Grandpa." Li Zhuiyuan pointed at the small words on the lottery ticket, "It's past the date. These are the prizes from the first two draws."

"Expired? Someone has already won?"

"Ah."

Generally, this kind of grand prize is won by one of the organizers themselves, who go on stage to receive the prize themselves. Ordinary people can only win shampoo, soap or something like that.

"Hiss, I am so happy for nothing. I am keeping it in my pocket like a treasure."

"Grandpa, if you want to visit the capital, I'll take you on a trip."

Traveling to Beijing is the dream of almost all the older generation today, as they want to see the sun.

"Why waste that money? I heard that food and drink in Beijing are not cheap. I won't go. I won't go!"

"Grandpa, I have saved a lot of money, enough to take you..."

"The little money you saved is not enough. Have you married? Have you had a baby? Have you bought a house in the city?"

Li Zhuiyuan blinked. How old is he?

Li Sanjiang patted the boy's head and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa has made plans for you. Business is good now, so let Grandpa save some more. I will make sure you have enough. I will make sure you have enough."

"Okay, Master."

The young man knew that making and saving money for himself was now the greatest pleasure in his grandfather's life.

"It's time for dinner!"

Downstairs, Aunt Liu's punctual arrival came.

"Go, go and call that girl to have dinner together."

"Ah."

After Li Zhuiyuan left the room, Li Sanjiang picked up the lottery ticket again and looked at it:

"Why is it expired?"

Li Sanjiang smacked his lips twice.

He didn't like lotteries in the first place, and he didn't like playing cards on weekdays.

But the originally uninteresting thoughts were drawn out by this expired lottery ticket.

"How about I buy one and scratch it tomorrow?"

……

late at night.

Westinghouse.

Yin Meng lives here now.

At this time, she had filled the bed, the cabinet, and the floor with all kinds of bottles and jars.

The poisons here are all extracted by her personally.

She knew the effectiveness of one-third of the poison, but God knew the effectiveness of the remaining two-thirds.

The insect was held in Yin Meng's hand, revealing two long black whiskers.

With her other hand, she began to mix poisons, trying out several toxins to combine.

She discovered a pattern: the more potent the poison, the more violently the two black whiskers of the insect would swing and collide.

Yin Meng relied on this to figure out the configuration of the poison.

He prepared another poison and put it into a special cover.

The black beard shook rapidly, very vigorously.

Then prepare a poison.

The black beard shook and left an afterimage.

Yin Meng nodded and tried to mix the two poisons together according to her ideal proportions.

Hei Xu didn't move.

Yin Meng looked puzzled.

Is this a case of using poison to fight poison and the poison becomes non-toxic?

Yin Meng touched the black whiskers of the insect with her fingers and found that the black whiskers had become hard.

When he spread out his hands, the insect lost its reaction.

Yin Meng turned her head and looked at the cover she used to prepare and isolate the toxin, and found that a small hole had melted underneath.

next moment,
I only heard a sound.
"Pfft!"

Yin Meng hit his head on the bed and passed out from the poison he had poisoned himself.
