Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 181

Six coffins appeared on the surface of the river.

It just happened to surround the person in red in the middle.

The figure of the woman in red was constantly changing, but when she was surrounded, she could no longer move out of the encirclement.

A water curtain appeared on the periphery.

In the water curtain, stood a woman in a white dress.

The last time Li Zhuiyuan saw her here, she was still wearing her wedding dress.

After all, at that time, she was still the person in charge of Baijia Town;

After that, she became a poor person who had to endure humiliation and devote herself to Xue Lang for the survival of Baijia Town.

All of this is due to the "oppression of the Dragon King".

She no longer wears a red dress, but a woman's bun, which means that she has positioned herself as a wife.

A piece of yellow paper not only summoned the six ladies of the Bai family to help, but also made her show up in person.

Tan Wenbin was of course aware that this was not because of his face, but as the bowman, he represented the will of the Dragon King when he was out.

Brother Xiaoyuan has never liked the Bai family.

The Bai family is also very clear about this.

It was for this reason that they appeared at a timely moment in response to the Dragon King's order.

I'm afraid that when Tan Wenbin arrived at the riverside and the man in red just went down the river to settle here, the Bai family had already made preparations.

They knew very well that they could not give the future Dragon King a reason to formally attack them.

The world is vast and boundless.

The Jianghu is also very small, even a small place like Nantong is also a Jianghu.

The person under the peach forest would not attack Li Zhuiyuan and would not even take the initiative to help "open and close the door".

The young man can now set rules for the people in the Taoist sect and the evil ghosts.

Either obey his will and jointly maintain the rules, or stand outside the rules and be eliminated.

The young woman in the water curtain turned to face Tan Wenbin and bowed. Her cold voice echoed across the river:
"Bai Family, receive the Dragon King's order!"

Tan Wenbin shook off the cigarette ash. He knew that his mission for the night had been completed.

In fact, he came to announce the decree.

To a certain extent, is the most difficult and troublesome evil spirit tonight really the one in red on the river?

No.

Tonight, the most powerful and the one that must be conquered is Baijia Town.

"Squeak..."

"Squeak..."

The coffin lids fell off one after another.

The ladies of the Bai family, who were of different ages when they were alive, sat up from their coffins.

Some of them are white-haired old women, and some are girls less than ten years old.

Red screamed.

This time, it was no longer anger, but panic.

She originally just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to come in and occupy a small territory, but she didn't expect to encounter such a situation as soon as she entered Nantong.

She began to whisper again, but not to launch a mental attack on Tan Wenbin, but to the lady of the Bai family.

She wished she could retreat.

But it was obvious that Lady Bai did not agree, and she waved her hand forward.

The six ladies from the Bai family in the coffins all left the coffins and stood on the water.

It is impossible to let you back down. This is the first order from the Dragon King that the Bai family has received. There is no room for bargaining no matter what.

Only by completely killing you can the young man see the Bai family's attitude, and the most taboo thing about this kind of thing is to make discounts.

The fighting began on the river.

The distance was a bit far and there were some winds and waves, so Tan Wenbin deliberately held the cigarette between his fingers and went to watch from behind.

The woman in red quickly fell into a disadvantage when facing the siege of the six ladies from the Bai family.

But even so, while her red dress was constantly injured and gradually torn into pieces, the six ladies of the Bai family were also injured.

She is really fierce.

The cigarette burned to the end and burned Tan Wenbin's fingers.

Tan Wenbin immediately ended his Yin-yang state, took a big puff on the cigarette butt, then threw it on the ground and stepped on it with his shoe sole.

He went to see it secretly just to go through the process.

This is the demand of the Bai family, which is equivalent to bearing witness.

After announcing the decree, he also has to serve as a military supervisor.

Now that I've seen it all, it's time to wrap it up.

Mrs. Liang took action.

She just stretched her hand out of the water curtain and grabbed the empty air.

The figure in red froze instantly.

The six ladies from the Bai family rushed forward.

Only a shrill scream was heard from the surface of the river, and a torn red cloth first floated up, then slowly fell to the riverside and was grasped by Tan Wenbin.

This is a token of loyalty, a head, and the Bai family's token of allegiance.

The six injured ladies of the Bai family sat back in the coffins, then lay down again. Then the coffins gradually sank and disappeared.

On the surface of the river, only the person in the water curtain was left.

Tan Wenbin looked carefully but did not notice any bulge in Lady Bai's belly.

Is it obscured by the water curtain effect?
But it shouldn't be.

If you want to express your attitude and involve personal connections, is there anything more suitable than a big belly?
So, is it that the Bai family’s mother’s pregnancy is special... or is it that Brother Liangliang’s seed is special?

Tan Wenbin was too lazy to think about it.

He waved the red cloth in his hand and shouted:
"See you later, Sister Liang."

Tan Wenbin turned and left.

I returned to the taxi and looked through the window to see the driver sitting in the driver's seat with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, and his face was full of tear marks.

People always say they want to see each other for the last time, but there is actually no certainty about this last time. It is just a compromise that we cannot see each other again in reality.

Tan Wenbin leaned against the car door and didn't rush to wake up the driver.

Anyway, he has nothing to do next, so he might as well let the driver sleep a little longer in the dream that still has the scent of his mother.

……

"Giggle!"

In the cemetery, Benben was laughing happily.

This child prefers and adapts better to this kind of eerie and ghostly environment.

Fortunately, he is still young and everything can be corrected.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at the child in his arms helplessly.

Reach out and pinch the child's mouth to close it.

The child stopped laughing.

But when Li Zhuiyuan let go of his hand, the child laughed even more happily, as if he thought the boy was playing a game with him.

There were five wet human-shaped marks on the ground around the boy.

This means that the young man had just killed five evil spirits that were trying to break out of the ground.

This is not difficult for young people.

Compared with the evil creatures carefully cooked by the river water, these evil creatures randomly coming out of the wild can only be regarded as snacks during meals, mainly for seasoning.

Originally the Feng Shui of this place was fine; it wasn't very good, but at least not bad. However, because an industrial park was built in front, one river was cut off and the flow of another river was changed, thus artificially turning an ordinary Feng Shui land into a prisoner Yin land.

During this time, it happened that Ding Dalin's gang of water monkeys woke up the man in Taolin, causing Taolin to suppress the surroundings and suppress the conflict that was supposed to occur.

When the man in Taolin turned over and dozed off, the accumulated negative energy rushed in here like a flood, which caused the sudden change.

The advancement of industrial technology has made it easier and easier to transform nature with human labor. Projects that used to require a large amount of manpower and material resources can now be completed by a construction team equipped with enough machines.

With the advent of the era of large-scale infrastructure, there will inevitably be many unexpected events caused by such sudden changes in feng shui.

This was something Li Zhuiyuan had already anticipated.

The young man continued to hold Benben in his left hand and stretched out his right hand. After the karma fire emerged, it surged around.

After being burned by the void fire of karma, the negative energy at the grave mound was cleansed and the surroundings became extremely clean.

Benben pouted and stopped laughing.

Li Zhuiyuan returned home at dawn.

The rest did not come back.

And they didn't come back in the next two days.

Because the known problems have been solved, but there may be follow-up, it is better for everyone to continue to stay in the four directions and be on standby.

Li Zhuiyuan would place the compass on Benben's belly three times a day to perform measurements and perception.

Whenever they find some small fish trying to get in, or something new is about to be born, they will call their companions and let the one closest to them go and deal with it.

When Tan Yunlong rode a motorcycle to take himself to investigate the case and inquired about a foot massage shop, Tan Yunlong said to himself that those disharmonious things in society will never disappear. There is no real permanent solution in this world, but this does not deny the significance of each cleansing and crackdown.

The same goes for dirt. No matter how clean a place is, dust will still accumulate if it is not cleaned regularly.

However, the news came.

Wu Yougen, the honest second son of the Wu family, came here and invited Li Sanjiang to sit in the vegetarian feast.

Li Zhuiyuan finally heard the final whistle.

One could even say that he came here just for this dish of vinegar-wrapped dumplings.

But at the beginning, he really just wanted to be jealous.

However, what surprised Li Zhuiyuan was that the way the Wu family died was somewhat different from what he had expected.

After receiving the report, the police investigated the Wu family.

There were no witnesses or evidence, and the person who reported the case had to keep it confidential, so this investigation was very embarrassing from the beginning.

Not surprisingly, Luo Jinhua, Wu Changshun and others denied that such a thing had happened, and each of them swore to heaven that if they had really done such a conscienceless thing, they would die a miserable death.

They thought that someone in the village was deliberately gossiping and making things difficult for their family, so Luo Jinhua took people to the homes of the villagers with whom they had grudges and cursed them in the streets. Although they didn't know who they were specifically, they would rather curse everyone without leaving any out.

What is even more ridiculous and infuriating is that Wu Youhou, the husband and father of the three children, did not agree with this "groundless" thing, and even took the initiative to come forward to explain and guarantee for his family to the police.

That day, the great grandfather sat on a rattan chair on the second floor and scolded him for a long time. This was because the great grandfather had eaten more salt than many people had eaten rice, and he knew very well how disappointing and hateful people like Wu Youhou were.

The focus of foolish filial piety is not on "filial piety" but on "foolishness". Only a true fool would not separate the family for so long when faced with such unfair living treatment, and would continue to be willingly sucked dry by those two half-brothers, causing his wife and children to have a hard time and suffer together.

When Tan Yunlong received the call from Tan Wenbin reporting the case to the police, he said at the beginning that this matter was difficult to handle because he was too experienced. Some cases could be handled with a clear mind, but some cases were not because the police wanted to make things muddy, but because the case was simply a mess.

The police were very responsible and even dug up the body of the child who had just died for forensic identification. They found no signs of poisoning and the child had indeed died of illness.

But for children who have not developed well in the womb, in daily life, they only need to be deliberately targeted, deliberately catch a cold, be malnourished, or even be deliberately emotionally stimulated, which is enough to cause this already fragile little life to die early.

The investigation came to nothing.

But Luo Jinhua and her colleagues felt guilty and had something to hide, so the day after the investigation, they asked their fourth son to borrow a tractor from the factory, and took her husband Wu Changshun, their third son, and themselves, a total of four people, to Langshan to burn incense.

Their family didn't go to burn incense during the New Year, but now they hurried over.

There was a car accident on the road.

The tractor first hit the truck in the opposite direction, then overturned into the ditch. The four people on board were smashed to pieces and all died. No one survived.

What made Li Zhuiyuan feel strange was the way these four people died. They died too quickly and too neatly, and they could even disguise it as a car accident.

This is definitely not something those three little guys can do.

This was indeed the case. When Li Zhuiyuan accompanied his great grandfather to the Wu family again to hold a funeral, while his great grandfather was performing the ceremony, he saw three small figures standing next to the altar.

The three of them have already taken shape, but they only have resentment but not much evil spirit, which means that they have not yet had the chance to be stained with blood and lives.

Therefore, the death of Luo Jinhua and the other four people was really just an accident.

An extremely coincidental accident.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at his great-grandfather's back.

He couldn't help but wonder because he had had similar experiences.

I still remember the time when I was blessed by my great grandfather and won money playing cards, and then I immediately felt extremely frightened.

If Uncle Shan hadn't taken half of the money to help me lose it back, it would have been really difficult to deal with what I encountered next.

After all, Luo Jinhua and the others still owed the grandfather his wages.

This matter can be big or small.

But that afternoon, after burying the poor child, he was able to hear what Luo Jinhua and the others said because of his good hearing.

My grandfather doesn’t have very good hearing, but the wind can actually carry these words.

The man under the peach forest, in order to avoid losing merit by such things, took the initiative to cover the map with peach blossoms to help himself bear the backlash.

But the grandfather didn't want to dirty his hands at all.

Although, the grandfather himself didn't know about this.

I, the instigator of this incident, was completely cleared of all charges.

What’s even more interesting is that when the dumplings were already cooked and served on the table, we discovered that there was no vinegar at all in the vinegar bottle.

After standing beside their great grandfather for a while, the three children left. They did not dissipate, but went to their father Wu Youhou.

As a filial son, Wu Youhou knelt there in mourning clothes. The three children all climbed on top of him and looked at him viciously.

The dead are dead. Even if it was an accident, they got their retribution and lost their lives.

But apart from this, the three children were full of resentment towards their father.

Wu Youhou may have doubted some things, but he deliberately chose not to believe them.

If Luo Jinhua and others were the direct murderers, then Wu Youhou could actually be considered an accomplice in another sense.

Wu Youhou was kneeling there, his eyes were bloodshot and his forehead was dark.

He hadn't slept for several days, because as soon as he closed his eyes, the first thing he would hear was the crying of children, and scenes from his past life would emerge in his mind.

Many details that he was unwilling to face or even actively ignored and blurred were spread out again and forced to appear in front of him.

Even if he was reluctant emotionally, he had to admit one fact, that is, the death of his three children was not an accident, and it was not because his wife was unable to give birth.

Li Zhuiyuan was busy helping his grandfather during the day and ignored the three children, leaving them to haunt their father.

Because four people died at once, we have to add a vigil.

The old master was holding a peach wood sword in his hand, sitting behind a pile of Buddhist and Taoist curtains, chanting scriptures.

As he was reciting, the grandfather fell asleep, but the rhythm of his snoring was similar to the ups and downs of the murmurs when chanting scriptures, but it was unclear.

It was the same thing last time when we were keeping vigil at the Niu family. Liu Jinxia and Uncle Shan were almost torn apart by the corpse demon, but Grandpa was still able to sleep soundly as if nothing had happened.

The second brother, Wu Yougen, knelt in front of the brazier in the mourning hall to make sure the fire inside would not go out.

Li Zhuiyuan walked over, grabbed a handful of gold and silver ingots, and threw them into the brazier, and also threw a large stack of yellow paper into it.

Wu Yougen is a simple and honest person, the kind of honest man who doesn't have much to worry about.

Normally, when burning paper, you cannot throw too much at once, as it will not only fail to burn through, but also produce smoke.

But Wu Yougen just smiled at Li Zhuiyuan, then picked up a wooden stick and pushed away the gold, silver ingots and yellow paper that the boy had just thrown in, allowing them to burn fully.

“Bang.” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

Inside the mourning hall, explosions were heard collectively from the four rented crystal coffins.

The Dragon King burns paper as an offering, and only those who are close to him and those with great virtue can enjoy some of it.

Are the four in there worthy?

Just like being too weak to be nourished, if one is subjected to strong torture, in serious cases the soul will be torn apart, and in mild cases the person will lose the qualifications to be reborn as a human being in the next life.

I haven’t done any good deeds in this life, and instead I have a lot of sins. I don’t know how many lifetimes I have to be a pig or a dog to repay this “blessing”.

Wu Yougen looked up in surprise. When he found that the boy next to him was indifferent, he began to wonder if the previous voice was just his hallucination.

Li Zhuiyuan stayed for a while and then left.

In the corner of the tent, he saw Wu Youhou curled up with his head in his arms.

The three children viciously pounced on their "father" and began to bite him.

Luo Jinhua and the others died too quickly and too easily. Logically, after these three had avenged themselves on Luo Jinhua and the others, their evil spirit and resentment would have gradually transformed them into evil spirits.

Now, they are just beginning to show some signs of ferocity.

Li Zhuiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved at them. A faint black air flowed from his fingertips, bringing a pressure that ordinary ghosts could hardly resist. Just because he had learned the Twelve Laws of Fengdu and was the only "heir" of the Emperor of Fengdu in the contemporary era, the boy had a natural suppression on ordinary ghosts in this world.

Unfortunately, the King of Fengdu was still angry with himself because of some minor misunderstanding.

The three children left their "father" and followed Li Zhuiyuan back to the mourning hall.

Li Zhuiyuan patted Wu Yougen on the shoulder and told his brother that it looked terrible hiding there alone.

Seeing that the paper money in the brazier could still burn for a long time, Wu Yougen stood up and went to find his elder brother.

Li Zhuiyuan sat down on a small stool.

He had no intention of stopping the three from continuing their revenge, but their most direct enemy was dead after all, and although the three children had grown up, their hands and feet were still clean.

Once you are truly involved in the bloodshed of human life, there is no way you can be reincarnated.

Unless the three of them can meet someone like Tan Wenbin again, who is truly willing to share enough merit with them.

But this is almost impossible.

Therefore, it is time to stop while it is still clean.

Li Zhuiyuan picked up the yellow paper at his feet and folded three small boats.

When they first met, their mother gave him a red envelope, which was the crumpled money.

Just think of it as using it to buy these three paper boats to carry you to your next life.

The three children should know what this means, and when they are with Li Zhuiyuan, the ferocity on their faces will disappear and become calmer.

They didn't rush to take the paper boat, but all looked towards the inner room.

There was the room where their mother was. She drank pesticide and was rescued, but her body was broken and she would need to be nursed for a long time.

Li Zhuiyuan nodded and said, "Go ahead."

The three children ran into the house.

After a while, they ran back.

Seeing that they were ready, Li Zhuiyuan threw the three small boats he had folded into the brazier one by one.

As the paper boat burned, a paper boat appeared in the hands of each of the three children.

The ferry boat was made by the Dragon King himself, and it carries the blessing from the Dragon King, which can protect them and ensure a good rebirth in the next life.

This is actually a consumption of one's own merits.

But the previous one was a fine, while now it is a voluntary donation.

Compared with the merits he gained from setting up a temple in Nantong and his team slaying demons and eliminating evil, this current loss is nothing.

The three children and the paper boats in their hands began to disappear together.

They were too small to bow or express gratitude, but they just smiled at the big brother in front of them during the process of disappearing.

There is no trace of hostility, but full of childlike innocence.

Li Zhuiyuan turned his head away and didn't look at them. Even now, he still didn't like the innocent smiles of children.

I just told myself that this was a very good deal.

By the way, let Tiandao see again: You see, Wei Zhengdao and I are really different.

However, Li Zhuiyuan himself overlooked one thing, or rather, he deliberately blurred it.

If there really was no commotion and he just treated it as a business deal, he wouldn't have to proactively look for so many excuses.

"Child, my child, child!"

The woman's figure appeared at the door of the room.

Her originally pale face now had a little redness on it, and her whole spirit was much better than before.

Li Zhuiyuan only took one look at her and knew clearly that the three children had left some things for the woman when they returned to the house to see their mother.

Her body gradually collapsed while giving birth to them, and she drank pesticide because she was so sad about losing them that she died.

Compared with their resentment towards their "father", these three children have always retained their attachment to their mother, otherwise they would not have developed such strong resentment after "witnessing" their mother drinking pesticides.

Wu Yougen came back, feeling a little confused because he couldn't find his elder brother.

Seeing his sister-in-law coming out in thin clothes, he immediately walked over, kept a distance, did not dare to reach out to touch her, but just kept saying "Put on more clothes, put on more clothes."

Li Sanjiang woke up, yawning, and walked out from behind the curtain.

Four people in the Wu family died at once. At the funeral, the fourth son's wife showed up and left. The third son's pregnant wife didn't come at all. She was taken to the hospital by her parents to have an abortion.

But Wu Youhou was the eldest brother and the head of the funeral. Anyone could give up the responsibility, but he couldn't.

Li Sanjiang and Wu Yougen searched together. After a long search, they finally saw Wu Youhou hanging on a tree in a remote part of the village.

He hanged himself.

The patient's hair was removed and sent to the town clinic, where the doctor examined him and said that he was beyond saving.

His death had nothing to do with the three children. When he decided to die, the three children had already been sent to reincarnate by Li Zhuiyuan.

When those things could no longer be avoided or ignored and turned into bloody facts, he lost the courage to live out of shame.

He didn't dare face his wife again, let alone himself.

But this father was indeed very unreliable. He was like this when he was alive, and even more so when he died.

If Li Zhuiyuan had not sent the three children away in advance and let Wu Youhou die first, the three children would have surely been convicted of bloodshed.

Wu Youhou's wife seemed very calm after learning the news of her husband's suicide. Her tears had dried up and her emotions were exhausted.

Considering that Wu Youhou committed suicide, which was also an unexpected death, Li Sanjiang suggested that a separate funeral would not be held for him.

Anyway, four people are already doing it, so it doesn’t matter if there is one more.

There was no banquet, and no funeral band was invited to perform any musical instruments. Li Sanjiang was the only one who stayed here to give the spirit a rest for another day.

On the day they were sent to the crematorium, because five people had to be cremated at once, the crematorium ran out of hearses, so they had to be picked up in two batches.

As soon as the body was burned, the wives of the third and fourth sons came back and wanted to divide the family property.

This is a normal thing. A large family is bound to break up after all of a sudden there are deaths. Especially since the wives of the third and fourth sons are still very young and have no children.

Li Zhuiyuan accompanied his great grandfather in packing up his things and witnessed the process of the division of the family.

The Wu family incident caused a big stir. After all, it was difficult for an ordinary family to gather five people at once and send them to the crematorium to queue up for cremation.

In addition, Luo Jinhua had previously cursed all the enemies in the village and swore and swore in front of the police. She did it on the first day of the month, so she couldn't blame the villagers for doing it on the fifteenth day.

There were a lot of people watching, not only the village party secretary came, but also people from the town and the police.

The Wu family had never been divided. Apart from using the family income to subsidize the third and fourth sons to get married and find jobs, the rest was in Luo Jinhua's hands.

This division of the family actually allows the first and second wives to "take advantage".

The parents and relatives of the third and fourth sons' wives came to support the cause and wanted to take away most of the family property.

That is to say, the people in official positions are sitting here and dare not act too rashly, otherwise there is a high probability that the third and fourth brothers’ wives will have a quarrel and the power will be divided equally.

Wu Youhou's wife, the eldest sister-in-law of the family, sat there with a blank expression on her face.

She had lost her children and her husband, and her parents on her mother's side had also passed away, so she had no support or reliance.

The current scene is nothing but a replay of scenes at home over the past few years. It is obvious that the eldest and second oldest children have made the greatest contributions, but all the good things always fall on the heads of the third and fourth oldest children.

She doesn't care, but someone else does.

The second and most taciturn brother, Wu Yougen, took out a woodcutter from the woodshed, his eyes red.

The policeman and the village party secretary went up to him to persuade him, but he pushed them away.

He waved his hatchet in the air, pointed at the relatives of the third and fourth brothers, and roared like a leopard:
"I can give it up, but my sister-in-law can't. Otherwise, she won't be able to survive with this body. It should be divided into at least three parts, with one part for my sister-in-law!
Otherwise, I will kill your whole family!"

It's really scary when an honest person goes crazy.

That expression, that tone, and that look made everyone present believe that he was really capable of doing such a thing.

The situation remained at a stalemate.

It was not until the police and several young and strong men in the village cooperated to take the knife out of Wu Yougen's hand that Wu Yougen was taken to the police station.

It is impossible to ignore this kind of intimidation with a knife in front of the police, but considering the practical factors, the most we can do is keep him in the police station for education.

The village party secretary decided to divide the Wu family's property into four equal parts, with each of the four families getting one share.

In this regard, the relatives of the third and fourth brothers no longer dared to express any dissatisfaction, and even tacitly agreed to leave a portion for Wu Yougen. There was nothing they could do. The Wu family was very evil. All of a sudden, only one male was left in the family. He said he didn't want it, so did you dare not give it to him?

You never know when he might get drunk one day and suddenly think of this matter, and then he might come to your house with a knife and talk to you again.

The new brick and tile houses where the third and fourth sons lived were converted into silver and purchased by the eldest and second sons.

I was busy with the notarization of signatures until the afternoon, and finally the distribution was completed.

The relatives of the third and fourth brothers left directly.

As soon as they left, Wu Yougen was released after being educated at the police station.

After learning that he had also been allocated a share, he took the initiative to find his eldest sister-in-law and said that he had hands and feet, so he would give his share to her.

Some villagers who had not yet left to watch the fun were already trying to get Wu Yougen to marry his eldest sister-in-law.

Anyway, my sister-in-law can't go back to her parents' home, so she has to live here. It's a big deal for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law to live here.

These suggestions are sincere and not meant to be sarcastic, because the eldest sister-in-law has lost three children and drank pesticides. She is old and in poor health. Even if she wants to remarry, it is almost impossible. Only the second brother, who has never been married, does not mind and might be willing.

You are a miserable person, and it would be best if you could find someone to rely on at this time.

But it's just talk. I've just handled the funerals of so many people, so it's not appropriate to push this in depth. Some things can only be arranged by date.

Li Sanjiang rode a tricycle and took Xiao Yuanhou home.

On the way, Li Sanjiang noticed the sudden change of his second brother Wu Yougen.

Li Sanjiang said that some people in this world just wake up slowly, especially men.

Before getting married and taking on responsibilities, people are either eccentric or dull, and live their lives in a muddle-headed way, just like Wu Laoer.

It's not like Old Second Wu had been coveting his eldest sister-in-law for a long time. From a man's perspective, there was really nothing to covet about her. It was simply because his father and eldest brother were gone, and he knew he had to take on the responsibility.

It was Luo Jinhua who had been suppressing Wu Laoer and preventing him from getting married. If he had gotten married earlier, the Wu family would have probably split up long ago.

"A man is only a real man if he has a sense of responsibility."

Li Zhuiyuan, who was sitting in the back, listened to his great grandfather's chatter. He was very curious as to why his great grandfather, who had never been married in his life, could talk about these things so clearly.

But it was impossible for him to ask this question.

"Little Yuan Hou."

"Yes, sir."

“Although you are still young now, when you grow up, you will have to learn to take on responsibilities.

It's your responsibility. Now that it's on your shoulders, no matter how hard, tiring, or unwilling you are, you have to grit your teeth and take it up."

Perhaps stimulated by the incident in the old Wu family, the grandfather, who always liked to promote happy education, started a rare responsibility education.

"I know, Master."

Li Zhuiyuan responded while silently lowering his head.

In fact, he had already faced this situation.

The incident involving Old Wu's family was a negative example that served as a reminder of the bigger picture. It served as a wake-up call for him.

When it is time for you to stand up, you have to stand up. Avoiding, hesitating, delaying and being entangled will only make the situation develop in the worst direction.

Smart people just learn things quickly, not that they are born knowing the big principles. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been defeated by Ali in chess, because he only learned Go but never studied it in depth.

For example, Xue Liangliang, Professor Zhu, and even my own great-grandfather, they also have principles worth learning and understanding.

However, Li Zhuiyuan obviously misunderstood the grandfather's intention.

"So, Xiao Yuanhou, although you are still young, you and that girl A Li have been playing together for such a long time. What is this relationship called in storytelling, a fierce battle?"

"Grandpa, we are childhood sweethearts."

"Well, it's this horse anyway. That girl has never been to school and her temper is a bit cold, but I can see that the girl has eyes only for you.

As the saying goes, you can tell a person's future from the age of three, especially with A'li. I think, even if she grows up, she will probably not change much.

It’s very good, really, Xiao Yuanhou.”

Li Sanjiang held the handlebar of the tricycle with one hand and scratched his head with the other.

His great-grandson was still young, and he felt it was inappropriate to tell him these things. However, he could feel that his great-grandson was smart and could understand, so he still had to say what he should say.

"So, Xiao Yuanhou, no matter what, don't delay me, and don't let me down.

I, your grandfather, see that the materialistic old lady has accepted her fate and no longer puts on airs like before.

Don't mind her past behavior, forget it. After all, it's not easy to raise a granddaughter like this."

"I understand, Master."

"Anyway, as a great grandfather, I am an experienced person, and I think A-Li is a good girl. When you all come of age, I would be happy to see her become the wife of my great-grandson.

I have watched her grow up. She is my own child, my own child.”

"Master?"

"Ok?"

"Where did you come from?"

Li Sanjiang's old face turned red, and he pedaled the tricycle hard, letting the whistling wind blow away the questioning from the young man behind him.

After returning home, Li Zhuiyuan went to Aunt Zhang's grocery store first, called Lu Yi, and asked Lu Yi to page his four companions, telling them that it was time to pack up.

Afterwards, the boy came to the bearded man’s house and walked into the peach forest.

It's time to remind it that the nap is over.

The wind started to blow again, and just like last time, it was hard and painful.

Apparently, it hasn't cooled down yet.

But this time, Li Zhuiyuan did not lower his head to avoid it. He still stood straight, allowing the cold wind to blow holes on his face.

It was definitely painful, but this just the right amount of pain made him think and ruminate better about what had happened in the past few days.

It is true that when faced with the pressure of personal interests and so-called responsibilities in the future, I will still feel painful when making my own decisions, but this is also a preparation for resisting this torment.

When people recognize and think about responsibility, their temperament will also undergo subtle changes.

Being in the peach forest, no slight change can escape its eyes.

The wind gradually subsided.

Petals fell one by one, lightly covering the wound on the boy's face. After they fell off, the thin cut made by the wind was almost healed.

Li Zhuiyuan felt a little itchy on his face, so he reached out and touched it. When he found that the wound had disappeared, he suddenly found it funny.

I was just standing here in a daze, thinking about some things, but I didn't expect that even so, the guy in the peach forest could start a "hundred twists and turns of sorrow".

I'm afraid that it is comparing itself with Wei Zhengdao once again, and may find that it can't see through itself again.

It is really a sentimental person.

"I am increasingly unable to see through you..."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhuiyuan sighed and said:

"How outstanding did you have to be to make Wei Zhengdao accept you as a member of the team."

This is not a compliment, but a kind of helplessness, or even a kind of ridicule.

Anyway, even the current Li Zhuiyuan cannot tolerate having a member in the team who has such a rich inner drama and is so sensitive every day.

At that time, Wei Zhengdao's condition was much more serious than his own.

"Hahahahahaha..."

But this kind of praise that is not a compliment is what makes people happy.

The one under the peach forest was smiling happily, and even the petals here spun a few more times when they fell.

Li Zhuiyuan was somewhat infected by its emotion.

Without any acting at all, the corners of Li Zhuiyuan's mouth curved slightly.

Now, he somewhat understood why Wei Zhengdao kept him in the team.

Perhaps many times in those days, when Wei Zhengdao looked at it, he would be speechless and want to laugh, just like himself.

However, Wei Zhengdao failed to end the story properly. He failed himself and his companions, and ultimately left behind sighs and regrets in this world.

Don't make the same mistake yourself.

Li Zhuiyuan's gaze became firm.

The laughter in the peach forest also died down.

"It seems... my nap... is about to end... It's a rare good sleep..."

"If you want to sleep, you can continue to close your eyes and go to sleep."

"When it comes to speaking nice words in this world... who can compare to you two... hehe... are you really not afraid that I will take advantage of the situation and... close my eyes?"

"Not afraid."

"Why……"

"Because from today on, I will keep my eyes open."
