Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 243

The mirror shattered.

It seemed to be the most direct annotation for the promise that was mutually recognized by both parties.

Although Runsheng, Yin Meng and Lin Shuyou had left the room earlier, they were standing at the door and could hear the noise inside clearly.

Runsheng couldn't hear it originally because he couldn't do the Yin move, but Yin Meng acted as a real-time announcer.

After it was over, Yin Meng let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat from her face with the back of her hand. If she had stayed in there any longer, she would not have been able to hold on.

Turning around, seeing Lin Shuyou with a strange look on his face, Yin Meng asked in confusion, "Ayou, what's wrong with you?"

Runsheng: "I'm scared."

At this moment, Lin Shuyou finally felt that Runsheng was back.

Lin Shuyou was indeed afraid because his master and grandfather almost got the same script.

From inside the room, Xiao Yuan's voice came: "Come in, everyone."

Runsheng pushed the door open and the three of them walked in.

Tan Wenbin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said, "Don't just stand there. Hurry up and pack up. We still have to work as slaves in the Taoist temple for another 60 years."

A smile appeared on Lin Shuyou's face.

Tan Wenbin: "Ahyou, why are you laughing? Be serious. The guy said that if we dare not obey, he will send people to kill our entire family!"

After saying this, Tan Wenbin himself laughed.

Once a person reaches a high position and has a strong background, the people he meets and encounters are basically all good people.

So, this is why Brother Xiaoyuan and I are just acting out this drama.

If Brother Xiaoyuan had introduced himself at the beginning, the person on the other side of the mirror would have become upright, impartial and honest.

First, Wen Chenzi would be killed immediately, and then the next day Ling Fengzi would lead his men to kneel in the fields of Siyuan Village and kowtow and apologize.

After Tan Wenbin finished laughing, he asked again: "I'm worried. What should I do?"

Runsheng: "Cancel the account."

The person has been saying that he wants to wipe out your entire family. There is a saying that goes "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you", which means that the other party can also accept this result.

The matter was settled when Brother Xiaoyuan said "it's a deal" to the other party.

People like us have both strength and background, which is why we can act and fish. If the prerequisites are not met, then people like us will only be eaten alive, and no one will speak out or raise any objections to this matter.

This is the true flavor of the world of Jianghu.

Li Zhuiyuan: "We will leave for Chengdu in three days."

"understand!"

"clear."

The reason for reserving three days is, firstly, to provide a running-in period for the team that has just been reorganized. After all, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood; secondly, to wait and see whether we can get another clue about the waves.

Li Zhuiyuan: "You should go to bed early."

After saying that, Li Zhuiyuan left Big Beard's house.

"Ahyou, please help me move the bed to me."

"Brother Bin, are you going to bed so early today?"

"Well, after fighting with them about the curse, I feel a little better. I want to take a nap."

Lin Shuyou picked up Tan Wenbin from the wheelchair. Brother Bin was very light, with only a skeleton left.

"Brother Bin, Brother Xiaoyuan said he will leave in three days. Do you plan to deal with the people sent over there first before going to Rongcheng?"

As soon as he asked this question, Lin Shuyou felt his eyes bulging. He was angry.

Tan Wenbin asked back: "We... still need to guard the house?"

Lin Shuyou: “Oh, yes!”

Old Mrs. Liu, Uncle Qin, and Aunt Liu live at home, and there is a peach forest at the doorstep. It is hard to imagine what kind of powerful force must be able to break through this level of protection.

After settling Tan Wenbin down, Lin Shuyou turned his head to look at Runsheng and blinked.

Runsheng looked outside the house and said, "Let's go practice."

Lin Shuyou: “Let’s go!”

Tan Wenbin, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, reminded him, "Don't go anywhere else, just practice in the peach forest."

Lin Shuyou: "What if I destroy too many peach trees and make that person angry?"

Tan Wenbin: "What if that person is happy and gives you some pointers?"

Lin Shuyou: "Is there such a good thing?"

Tan Wenbin: "I heard from Brother Xiaoyuan that he has been in a good mood recently and often feels happy for no apparent reason."

Lin Shuyou and Runsheng went to Taolin together.

Yin Meng came to the kitchen, took out a large piece of meat and placed it on the dam, planning to practice late at night.

Tan Wenbin took a nap. Although it was not for long, for him, it was a rare comfort during this period of time.

"Beep beep... beep beep..."

The pager on the bedside table rang at this moment.

Just as Tan Wenbin was trying hard to reach out, a figure walked into the room, came to the bedside, and handed him the pager.

The person who paged him was Zhou Yunyun.

If resentment is combined with merit and virtue, and before it is properly dealt with, one can be said to have "died" more thoroughly than a dead person.

Before Runsheng regained consciousness, Uncle Shan had already started winning money.

As for Tan Wenbin’s problem, it was actually deliberately delayed and not solved, so his current state is still “dead”.

Human nature cannot be tested, but facts have proved that Zhou Yunyun's feelings for him are close to the level of father-son bond that his biological father has for him.

These days, she has been in a state of panic. Even though she has talked to herself on the phone, she still often has nightmares about herself at night.

Tan Wenbin himself did not expect that Zhou Yunyun's love for him was so deep.

Because Zhou Yunyun had secretly liked him since high school, and he never expected at that time that he, the left protector, would one day be able to date the class monitor.

Furthermore, Tan Wenbin even neglected the support and protection he provided to Zhou Yunyun during the time she was cursed and hospitalized.

He is used to seeing life and death, so his threshold is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people. He cannot truly understand how deeply the same thing can touch ordinary people's hearts.

"Help me get the cell phone."

Xiao Yingying nodded and went out to get the mobile phone. Tan Wenbin told her the number. After Xiao Yingying dialed the number, she used the mobile phone as a pillow and placed it against Tan Wenbin's neck.

The call was connected quickly and the voice on the other end was a bit noisy. It should be in the public telephone booth downstairs of the university dormitory.

"Hello, Tan Wenbin?"

"Of course it is me."

"I had a nightmare again. I dreamed of you..."

Zhou Yunyun's voice was a little choked.

Tan Wenbin: "Dreams are the opposite. Be good. We are the glorious successors of society. Don't believe in those feudal superstitions."

Xiao Yingying brought a bowl of tonic to Tan Wenbin. To make it easier for him to drink, she inserted a straw into it and then put the other end into Tan Wenbin's mouth.

Afterwards, Xiao Yingying sat down beside the bed, closed her eyes, and her breathing began to become heavier.

She was actively absorbing the ghost energy from Tan Wenbin. This energy made her feel extremely useful and comfortable.

But now, Tan Wenbin has too much and too heavy ghost energy, and he wishes she could let him absorb more.

"Binbin, can you please come back from the construction site? I'm so scared. Really. I'm afraid something will happen if you continue to stay at the construction site."

"I have to work. I'll be back once the project is finished. Don't worry."

"Can I not do this kind of work? I want to see you more often, like before, when we were both in Jinling, and you came to my school to see me or I went to your school to see you."

"How can I not work? I need to eat."

"I can support you."

Hearing this, Tan Wenbin was really touched.

Zhou Yunyun: "You don't believe it?"

Tan Wenbin: “I believe it.”

"That's fine, I can work after I graduate and support you."

"At first, we can support each other, and we are content with each other. But after a few years, if I fail to make a name for myself and have no great prospects, you can compare me with the female colleagues in your unit. When you come back, you will see that my nose is not a nose and my eyes are not eyes."

"Why do you say that? I'm angry."

"Be good, not counting the meals, we will have to spend money on getting married, buying a house, having children and raising them. I plan to have at least two children, so I have to set aside money to pay the fine!"

"Bah, who wants to give birth to so many children for you! No, who promised to give birth to children for you!"

"If my child doesn't come out of your belly, where else can it come out from?"

"Why are you always like this? You become so unruly when you talk."

"Look, if we have more children, we have to build a bigger house, right? You know what kind of person my father is. He has no gray income.

We can't possibly live with our children in the house allocated to my dad by his company, right?

By then, you and my mother will be inseparable, how painful it will be."

"I quite like living with your mother."

"I'm sorry, I just don't really want to live with an old man."

With his endless nonsense, Zhou Yunyun on the other end of the phone had successfully diverted her attention and came out of the emotions of her previous nightmare.

At this moment, Xiao Yingying, who was sitting on the bed, seemed to be absorbing the ghost energy so comfortably that she made a short and heavy nasal sound.

"Binbin, what's that noise over there?"

"Oh, it's a co-worker watching porn."

"Then you...did you see it?"

"Oh, I'm too lazy to watch the videotape. I'm not a bachelor. Someone will show it to me when I get back."

"You're getting more and more muddled. I'm not going to pay attention to you anymore."

Xiao Yingying's breathing began to become more and more rapid and heavy, and her body began to tremble gradually. The bed shook and made a creaking sound.

"Hmm~hmm~hmm~"

"Hey, that's not right, lower your voice!" Tan Wenbin paused and said, "Wife, after hearing me say that they are bachelors, they are deliberately taking revenge on me."

"Then you should rest early. I'm hanging up now."

"Yeah, you too, relax, I'll be back soon."

The person on the other end of the phone hung up.

Tan Wenbin turned his head and looked at Xiao Yingying, who was sitting on the bed, trembling all over.

Of course he knew that Xiao Yingying was not joking on purpose, she was not that boring.

She must have absorbed too much of her own ghost energy recently and reached a certain critical point, and now her body has changed.

Finally, Xiao Yingying stopped.

Lines appeared on her arms, neck, and face, like veins on a human body. Her brows became more feminine, and a black halo swirled in her eyes.

Although she absorbed ghost energy, because she was dead, due to various special factors, she became more "human" than before.

Maybe ghosts are indeed more human than death.

Xiao Yingying: "Sorry, I just couldn't control myself."

Tan Wenbin: "It's okay, go find Brother Xiaoyuan tomorrow and ask him to check your body."

Xiao Yingying: "Okay, thank you."

Tan Wenbin: "How do you feel now?"

Xiao Yingying: "It's pretty good. It seems that I'm not as stiff as before, not just my body."

Tan Wenbin: “Congratulations.”

"Thanks to you."

Xiao Yingying took the mobile phone and the medicine bowl and left.

Tan Wenbin opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.

After this wave is over, the two children will be able to be reborn into a good family, and I will be able to return to being a normal person.

If there wasn't a specific end time to look forward to, he wouldn't be able to persist in his current state.

Tan Wenbin closed his eyes again.

The two children were also lying on the bed, just on the left and right of Tan Wenbin, one hugging Tan Wenbin's left shoulder and the other hugging his right shoulder.

Perhaps knowing that the day of separation was getting closer, the two children held each other's hands especially tightly.

They have been born... no, they were not born at all. They flowed out of their mother's body before they could take shape and were used as materials for making cursed babies.

It was Tan Wenbin who took them to see this world, or in other words, Tan Wenbin was their world.

……

In the peach forest under the night sky.

Runsheng didn't use his full strength, and neither did Master Baihe. If they were just competing, their goal wasn't to win or lose, but to adjust and improve themselves.

But you can also detect changes in the other person.

Runsheng felt that Lin Shuyou's breath became more lingering. This was because after there was no longer a time limit, the boy used his strength more evenly and reasonably, and no longer pursued quick success.

Lord Baihe also felt that Runsheng's moves had become more fierce. In the past, Runsheng was known for his endurance, but now he was like a ferocious monster in human skin.

After fighting with him for a long time, Master Baihe felt a tingling pain on every contact surface of his body. Wisps of evil energy pierced into his body like silver needles, affecting the flow of power in his body.

This was not something Runsheng did intentionally, but the evil spirit in his body naturally acquired this characteristic under the stimulation of the valve.

Lord Baihe was going to stop and signaled that he didn't want to fight anymore. If he continued to fight, he would have to spend time at night to expel the evil spirits that remained in his body, which would waste too much time.

However, the boy's mind suddenly changed and he immediately said:
"No more fighting, no more fighting. There's really no point in fighting a natural monster like you. This is really unfair. I was once called the most talented officer in the army!"

Peach blossoms are falling all around.

The boy was delighted, thinking he had grasped the pulse correctly.

However, the next moment, the peach blossoms became sharp, and the colorful fallen petals fell like knives.

True Lord Baihe did not dare to scatter the peach blossoms with his fists, for fear that it would be seen as a further provocation. He could only hold his head and run wildly out of the woods. The scene was extremely embarrassing.

After running out, Lin Shuyou looked at the cuts of all sizes on his body. Although none of them were serious, they were numerous and painful.

Lin Shuyou: "I wonder what you are doing."

Boy: "I just touched it according to its temper, but who knew it would turn sour."

Lin Shuyou: "What's its temper?"

Boy: "Isn't that how that person touched it?"

Lin Shuyou: "Same thing, Xiao Yuan can make it happy, not because of that thing, but because he is Xiao Yuan."

The boy was choked. He felt that the medium was right, and the facts proved that it was true.

Runsheng walked out of the peach forest with a piece of wood in his hand.

The wood looks very smooth and round.

Lin Shuyou: “What is this?”

Runsheng: "I found it in the peach forest. It's just the right size to replace the handle of my shovel."

"careful!"

A sinister voice came.

A group of insects flew over with a buzzing sound, at an extremely fast speed, and with various spots of light, obviously poisoned.

To prevent accidents, Yin Meng practiced in the formation just like she did the first time, but this time, an accident happened as soon as she tried to add poison to the poisonous insects.

When the poisonous insects hit the interface of the formation, they melted a hole in the formation, and the following insects flew out of the hole all at once.

Runsheng opened his arms, intending to use the valve to squeeze the surrounding air and restrain the group of insects.

Lin Shuyou opened his pupils again and pointed one finger into the air. Immediately above him, tridents condensed from phantoms appeared.

With a flick of his finger, the tridents fell like the peach blossoms before, and after entering the range of the insect swarm, they crossed and collided with each other, causing a continuous explosion of divine power.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

All the insects died, leaving only colorful poisonous mist.

Lin Shuyou took his hand back in front of him and couldn't help laughing: "Haha!"

This was not the boy's magic, but something that Lin Shuyou himself had just realized from the falling peach blossoms.

He is worthy of being the most talented officer among the generals, but his previous path was to constantly rely on and pursue the power from the Yin God, so his talent was not obvious.

"Boy, how is it?"

The boy was silent.

"Boy, please speak up, what's going on?"

The boy remained silent.

"Please give me some comments and suggestions for improvement. After all, this is the first time I have created a technique on my own."

The boy finally spoke:

"This is a good flattery."

……

Perhaps because he knew he would have to leave home again, when Li Zhuiyuan woke up, he had more expectations for the early morning after opening his eyes.

The boy opened his eyes and slowly turned his head.

Today, A'li is dressed in white, simple, elegant and quiet.

Boys are growing up, and girls are growing up too. Moreover, girls generally develop earlier than boys.

The little girl who used to sit on the threshold with a pair of embroidered shoes all day long now exudes a heroic spirit.

He didn't feel much about this change before, but when Li Zhuiyuan began to call up the scene of their first meeting in his memory, he felt a sense of melancholy that even though he cherished the years, they were still passing by.

It’s just that this kind of emotion comes and goes quickly. With rational thinking, we know that too much sadness is meaningless. What we should do is to continue to cherish the present.

Li Zhuiyuan got off the bed and walked to A'li.

A'li lowered her head, looked at her clothes, then looked up at the boy, as if asking for his opinion.

When Li Zhuiyuan expressed her love for the horse-faced skirt, Liu Yumei had no choice but to design more than ten sets of horse-faced skirts for her granddaughter to change into.

Today's clothing has also changed a lot from the past.

Let it go, this is the attire that the Liu family members wear when they practice martial arts.

"It looks very nice." The girl smiled.

The boy took the washbasin to wash, then sat on the rattan chair with the girl and started playing chess.

Usually, after two rounds at most, Aunt Liu would call for breakfast, and there would be no chance for a third round, so Li Zhuiyuan would not be able to win again.

Moreover, Li Zhuiyuan also discovered that although he and A'li did not use a chessboard when playing chess, Aunt Liu should be able to see the progress of the game. Every time she finished a round, she would call for dinner.

This time was the same. As soon as the second round was finished, a voice came from below:

"Breakfast!"

Everything is under Aunt Liu's control. She is a serious person and she is very serious even when eating melon seeds.

Li Sanjiang came down to have breakfast, and Li Zhuiyuan told him that he was going out again.

"What, you're leaving again?"

"Grandpa, I have been at home for a long time."

Li Sanjiang sighed: "Run Shenghou just came back, and Zhuangzhuang hasn't come back yet. I always feel like you guys just came back."

"Brother Zhuangzhuang will go directly to the new project site to meet us, and then we will come back together."

"Well, the fact that you can keep arranging work for you proves that your teacher trusts you. Young guys, you need to go out and explore more and see the world."

The main reason was that Mr. Luo was accompanied by his leader last time, which made Li Sanjiang more tolerant and understanding of his great-grandson's frequent business trips.

In the old man’s simple understanding, no matter which industry or path, as long as one can eventually get connected with the government, that is the bright road.

"Little Marquis Yuan, I heard from someone that if you do well in this field, you can become an official in the future, right?"

"Ah."

"Then you should work hard, together with Zhuangzhuang and Youhou, our Li family can also produce a..."

At this point, Li Sanjiang got stuck. He took the chopsticks out of the porridge bowl and put them in his mouth to slurp them.

Li Sanjiang thought of Xiao Yuanhou's grandfather whom he met in Beijing. It seemed that in comparison, being an official or not was not a new thing for Xiao Yuanhou.

After breakfast, Runsheng rode his tricycle and took Yin Meng to Xiting.

Looking at the two departing figures, Li Sanjiang lit a cigarette and said, "Runsheng is a down-to-earth person."

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yes.”

Li Sanjiang: "But people who live a down-to-earth life are often disliked. If you are too honest, it will become boring to live with them for too long."

Li Zhuiyuan: “No.”

Sometimes, Brother Runsheng’s words can easily cause people to have emotional fluctuations.

Li Sanjiang: "Mengmeng is a good girl too."

After Yin Meng came home, he never did his work carelessly and could make a coffin by himself. Especially after he came back from a trip to Jinling, he became whiter and more youthful.

Li Sanjiang is used to seeing girls change a lot when they grow up, but this is the first time he has seen someone who has changed so much like Yin Meng.

The only shortcoming of this girl is that she likes to stay in the house alone and do weird things, and she gets some strange diseases for no apparent reason from time to time.

Apart from that, she's a really good girl.

Li Sanjiang scratched his chin and said with emotion: "Marquis Runsheng, your uncle has helped you reject all the matchmakers who came to propose marriage. Whether it will work out in the end depends on your luck."

Liu Yumei, who was sitting on the dam and preparing to make tea, heard this and said teasingly, "Oh, you're starting to worry about this."

"Why? It's not possible. Shan Pao's family conditions are a bit poor, but Run Shenghou is a good worker. When he becomes a contractor, he will be able to live a prosperous life."

Li Sanjiang mistakenly thought that this materialistic old lady looked down on Runsheng's family conditions.

Liu Yumei was too lazy to explain and said, "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

Li Sanjiang's eyes widened, he looked at Xiao Yuanhou, then looked at Ah Li who was sitting there, and said, "You don't agree again?"

Liu Yumei: "When did I say I disagree?"

The volume of the voice rose unconsciously.

In the past, she would feel jealous and annoyed when she saw the two children inseparable, but now she has even privately named several of her future great-grandchildren.

Hearing this, Li Sanjiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's because our Xiaoyuan Hou's conditions are getting better and better. Let me tell you, not only is our Xiaoyuan Hou promising, but Xiaoyuan Hou's grandfather Bei is even more amazing."

Liu Yumei: "I know."

Li Sanjiang shook out the smoke ring and whispered, "Oh, she is indeed a mercenary old lady."

Liu Yumei had sharp hearing and she heard that Li Sanjiang was making up stories about her, but she didn't have the confidence to take it seriously, because if she asked herself honestly, she was indeed quite materialistic in this regard.

"Ali, let's go for a walk together?" Li Zhuiyuan invited the girl.

Ari walked over and held hands with the boy.

Li Sanjiang quickly threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground and stepped on it.

"Come on, follow me, Grandpa, and go for a walk to eat."

As he spoke, Li Sanjiang even glanced at Old Lady Liu on purpose.

Liu Yumei was left in tears and amused by the old man's confused self-entertainment.

In this way, Li Sanjiang walked in front, and the boy and the girl followed behind holding hands.

Li Sanjiang picked up the previous topic again: "Little Marquis Yuan, guess how I rejected those matchmakers?"

Without waiting for Li Zhuiyuan to speak, Li Sanjiang took the initiative to give the answer: "I told them that Mengmeng can't cook and she doesn't even go near the stove at home. It is absolutely impossible for her to cook when she marries into her husband's family."

Li Zhuiyuan touched his nose. In fact, they didn't dare to let Yin Meng get close to the stove.

However, not cooking is indeed quite special in the rural blind date market. You are not required to make delicious meals, but at least you have to be a little bit foolish.

At this moment, Li Zhuiyuan felt A'li's hand tighten slightly.

Li Zhuiyuan glanced at the girl and immediately said, "Ali, you don't need to learn how to cook."

Li Sanjiang asked in surprise: "Little Marquis Yuan, doesn't Marquis Lan cook at home?"

"No, when dad was home, he always cooked."

Later, my father went into self-exile, and I could only eat at the various houses in the staff housing complex.

"Hey, this Lan Hou is so lazy."

Li Lan is not lazy, she is just gradually losing her emotions about food. In her eyes, food only has nutritional value and taste preferences, so she doesn't need to care about them.

After taking a walk and walking back, Li Zhuiyuan's pager rang. It was Brother Liangliang calling him.

The gift to the lady of the Bai family had already been sent, and the photo album taken by Deng Chen was also delivered by Liu Changping, so Li Zhuiyuan thought that this contact should be official business.

Could it be another clue to the waves?

"Grandpa, I'm going to make a call back."

"Okay, then you go ahead. I'll go back and urge Shan Hou and the others to load the goods."

Li Zhuiyuan took A'li to Aunt Zhang's grocery store.

"Wow, they look really good." Aunt Zhang took the initiative to open a bag of snacks and handed it to A'li.

Ali didn't answer.

Li Zhuiyuan helped to take it, handed it to Ah Li, and explained to Aunt Zhang: "She is shy."

Aunt Zhang: "Oh, that's a pity."

In fact, Aunt Zhang had heard a long time ago that the beautiful girl in this village, who was rarely seen outside, was a mute.

From A-li's perspective, the convenience store was a bloody mouth, and Aunt Zhang with a smile on her face was a snake demon swimming in the mouth.

When Aunt Zhang handed the microphone to the boy, it was like a snake demon handing a long red tongue to the boy.

A'li closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the boy's palm, and when she opened her eyes again, the bloody mouth was gone, and Aunt Zhang had returned to her original state.

Li Zhuiyuan answered the phone, and Xue Liangliang's voice came from the other end:

"Hello, Xiaoyuan?"

"It's me, Brother Liangliang."

"It's like this, Xiaoyuan, are you free recently?"

"Brother Liangliang, you speak first."

"It's a project in Chengdu. Something unexpected happened. The higher-ups want to send someone to provide technical support. I read the report and found it a little strange. If you have time, you can go and take a look."

"Okay, I'll go."

"You agree?"

"Well, can you be more specific about the location?"

"It's in Dujiangyan next to Chengdu. This city is under the administration of Chengdu."

"Okay, I understand. I'll leave as soon as possible."

"Okay, then I'll inform them of your, Binbin's, and Ah You's identities first, and you can just go there with your ID and do the handover directly."

"Ok."

"Um...Xiaoyuan, do you need me to go with you?"

"Can you go?"

"Of course I can go, but I'm afraid I won't be able to help much and will become a burden instead."

"Last time in Guizhou, Brother Liangliang, you helped a lot."

In the end, it was Brother Liangliang who dived again and again and brought the big guy to shore.

"So, Xiaoyuan, what you mean is that this time I can..."

"You don't have to come this time."

"Oh……"

"Are you busy lately?"

"I'm busy, there's a lot to do, and I have to take my juniors to do internships. If you can..."

"That's just a polite way of saying it before I hang up."

"Oh, kid, okay, that's it, be careful, if you need anything, just let me know."

"Okay, Brother Liangliang, you have helped me a lot."

The phone hangs up.

This was not the first time that he had received a message from Xue Liangliang.

In the past, I was able to draw questions from A'li's dreams because of the background of the Qin and Liu families.

So, is it because Xue Liangliang himself is special that we keep getting clues from him?

It seems that making friends with people who have special luck can indeed play a positive role in traveling along the river.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the person recognizes you from the bottom of his heart and is willing to help you. If you dare to use force, then wait for backlash.

However, this kind of help is not one-way. I have actually helped Xue Liangliang to avoid disasters and solve problems.

Li Zhuiyuan felt that after returning, he could add new insights to the "Code of Conduct for Walking on the River".

It just so happens that I have a negative example here that can be used as a “control group”.

On one side, there is the Qin and Liu families' heritage and the existence of Xue Liangliang and Taiye, and on the other side there is only one person, and that is Wei Zhengdao.

At present, it seems that the negative effect Wei Zhengdao has on himself is more powerful.

He alone overshadowed everything.

If it weren't for Wei Zhengdao's "example", it would be hard to imagine how easy and happy Jiang would have been.

but,
That would be meaningless.

……

Runsheng had seen from afar his grandfather talking to the old cypress tree in the yard. When he rode his bike home, the voice became clearer.

I saw the old man pointing at the cypress tree, holding his head high and chest out: "I am the elder, oh, did you hear me, I am the elder!"

Then, Uncle Shan took a step back and said to the old cypress tree again:
"Control your temper. You are a woman, why do you have such a bad temper? Aren't women in Sichuan and Chongqing said to be very gentle?"

Finally, Uncle Shan said viciously:

"If you're not gentle, be careful that our Runshenghou doesn't want you! Well... I won't speak for you anymore!"

Yin Meng, who had just gotten off the tricycle, asked Run Sheng, "Is your grandfather suffering from Alzheimer's disease?"

Runsheng scratched his head, a little confused. He didn't know why his grandfather would talk to a tree so early in the morning.

"Master..."

Hearing the shout, Uncle Shan was so scared that he fell to the ground, shaking all over.

Runsheng and Yin Meng walked into the yard.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I'm just practicing."

"So how did you talk to the tree just now?"

"I'm practicing crosstalk, um, I'll tell a story myself."

"Oh." Runsheng asked again, "Master, didn't you go to fast this morning?"

"Yes, I am going. I will be there right away. Please help me clean up the house."

Uncle Shan immediately got up, nodded and smiled at Yin Meng, then trotted out of the yard.

He said last night that he was going to fast today because he wanted to leave Li Sanjiang's house quickly so that he could find a gambling den in the evening and lose the money he won as soon as possible.

Fortunately, he fulfilled his mission and lost all the money that Yin Meng gave him last night.

At the card table, he was so happy that he was snotting while losing, which made the people at the same table afraid to play with him, for fear that he would get so angry after losing that he went crazy and they would have to be held responsible.

Yin Meng stared at the cypress tree for a while and suddenly laughed. She understood what Uncle Shan had just done to the cypress tree.

"Runsheng, your grandfather is really an interesting person."

Runsheng: "I am a good man. If I were not good enough, I would have been abandoned long ago."

……

The team's running-in work went smoothly. Li Zhuiyuan used a red line to lead his partners and practiced several group battles.

Then, after returning home at night, he used the wordless book to conduct a new round of deduction and improvement on the red line.

Such meticulous preparations would be a waste of effort if they were simply intended to deal with the Taoist temple on Mount Qingcheng.

But Li Zhuiyuan's plan was to use all his strength even if a lion were to fight a rabbit.

Even though the difficulty of this wave might be reduced, even though the Taoist temple is most likely just a trigger for this wave, we can do our best to destroy it with lightning speed, that's for sure.

On the night before departure, Li Sanjiang organized another big dinner and invited everyone who should be invited.

When the children grow up, for the elderly, New Year’s Eve is no longer limited to that specific day, but refers specifically to the day when the children come back.

After getting drunk, Li Sanjiang started talking about Zhuangzhuang who had not returned yet.

When everyone was asleep at night, Lin Shuyou pushed Tan Wenbin back to Li Sanjiang's house. Tan Wenbin went to the second floor, entered Li Sanjiang's room, and took a look at Uncle Li who was snoring on the bed after drinking too much.

During his entire senior year of high school, and every time he returned to Nantong thereafter, he basically stayed at Uncle Li's house. He could feel Uncle Li's love for him, second only to Brother Xiaoyuan.

After leaving Uncle Li's room, Lin Shuyou asked, "Do you want to go to Brother Xiaoyuan's room and see Brother Xiaoyuan?"

Tan Wenbin: "Are you planning to bury me tomorrow?"

Lin Shuyou: "Next time you come back, Brother Bin, you can go visit your parents and Zhou Yunyun."

Tan Wenbin: "I asked Zhou Yunyun to find one for you. When we come back, I will ask Zhou Yunyun to bring that female classmate to Nantong for a visit. You will be responsible for the reception."

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, I'm not in a hurry."

Tan Wenbin: "Try it first. Even if it doesn't work, it can add a good memory. No matter what, it can also accumulate some experience."

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, are you experienced?"

Tan Wenbin: "I am your first love."

Lin Shuyou: "I want this too."

Tan Wenbin: "You are dreaming."

Lin Shuyou: "You can work hard."

"By the way, Ayou, you haven't passed the driving test yet, right?"

This time, due to special reasons of Tan Wenbin, he cannot go by plane, otherwise the economy class will become a cold storage.

"I didn't have time to go back to Jinling to take the test, but I can drive."

"It's not safe... The journey is quite long, and it's too tiring for Mengmeng to drive alone."

"Brother Bin, don't worry. If it doesn't work, I'll let Tongzi drive."

As the sun rose, everyone packed their bags and got into their own pickup truck. Yin Meng started the car, drove out of the village road and onto the highway.

The distance from Nantong to Chengdu is quite long, but if people rest but the car does not, it won’t take too long.

They left in the morning, and in the afternoon, seven Taoists in Taoist robes walked into Siyuan Village.

They lined up in a row, each of them exuding an ethereal, otherworldly, immortal air.

Moreover, the villagers who passed by them on the village road seemed to be completely invisible to them. Only a few very young children would look at them, and a few black dogs in the village would bark in their direction.

They looked straight ahead and didn't care at all, as if everyone around them was an ant except themselves and not worth a glance.

The leading Taoist priest was the oldest and had the longest beard. He pointed ahead and said:
"Everyone, we cultivators should slay demons and eliminate evil..."

The other six Taoists said in unison:

"Support the righteous path!"

Xiong Shan was silting the pond, which was the pond that Li Sanjiang had just contracted this year. Xiong Shan stripped down to his underpants and stood in the water, holding a shovel in his hand and pretending to be busy. In fact, under the water, a group of scarecrows were working.

Suddenly, Xiong Shan's eyes showed doubt, and then he looked overjoyed. Although it was a little unbelievable, it was definitely true.

"Someone actually came here with clear and strong murderous intentions?"

This was really the sun rising in the west. Xiong Shanzhen had never expected that in his lifetime, he would have the opportunity to witness a force attacking the Dragon King's gate so openly and without any concealment!
Xiong Shan swam ashore hurriedly, without even bothering to put on his clothes, and directly picked up the Chenzhou Talisman and prepared to fight.

"Son, just wait, Dad will make you some money..."

Before he could finish his slogan, Lihua appeared and stopped her husband, saying:
"I was told to pass on a message, asking you not to do anything."

"Ah?" Xiong Shan asked doubtfully, "Is it because they feel itchy and want to do it themselves?"

"Ah."

"Is that Master Qin or Master Liu?"

"Uh..." Lihua looked conflicted.

"Hey, tell me quickly, is it Master Qin or Master Liu who wants to take action?"

Lihua licked her lips, leaned forward, and then lowered her voice and said to her husband:
"It's because the old lady's hands are itchy."
