Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 264

Even though he slept late the night before, Li Zhuiyuan still woke up at a specific time in the early morning.

What wakes him up is not only his biological clock, but also the anticipation of a new day.

I opened my eyes and turned my head, and saw the figure standing in front of the table with a paintbrush in hand.

A moon-white short shirt, a misty green three-pleat skirt, and a white jade hairpin with bamboo-knot pattern. Each person creates a scene, and the sky is hazy with mist and rain.

A'li turned sideways and their eyes met.

Li Zhuiyuan got out of bed and walked to the drawing table.

In the painting, where the two children were playing, A'li painted a circle of flowers and grass.

Li Zhuiyuan deliberately spread out the painting here last night. A'li could always see the two children on Tan Wenbin's shoulders, so she could naturally recognize them.

However, simply painting a landscape background for them is obviously too monotonous.

Li Zhuiyuan pointed to the large blank space next to him and suggested:
"Here, here, and here, you can all draw a private school, and then draw a few old scholars holding a ruler standing at the entrance of the private school."

Ali nodded, indicating that he understood.

Li Zhuiyuan continued: "You can also draw a few more foreign missionaries to teach English."

The two children in the painting, who originally had happy expressions, suddenly looked downcast at the corners of their mouths.

When Li Zhuiyuan went out to wash up, he happened to see his grandfather sweeping the dust with a broom.

Li Sanjiang went to bed very early yesterday and got up extra early today. He was sweeping the road that Li Zhuiyuan had paved with yellow paper ash last night.

"I don't know where the dust came from, why is it a little sticky?"

"Grandpa, let me help you pour some water."

With a "splash", the ashes quickly melted under the water.

Li Sanjiang leaned on the broom and looked down at the dam where Liu Yumei was sitting drinking tea.

It seems that the health of this materialistic old lady has improved.

Li Sanjiang was really worried about her a few days ago. After all, as people get older, they might die at any time due to some illness.

After washing up, I didn’t play chess this morning because A-li was still busy drawing “Cram School”.

Li Zhuiyuan was finally able to free up his hands and open the "Code of Conduct for Walking Along the River" to summarize and organize it.

The morning breeze blows in through the gauze window with a refreshing coolness, bringing a slightly playful vitality.

Li Zhuiyuan finished writing, rubbed his wrist, then stood up and came to A'li. Several private schools and a small church were already ready. This is a close-up.

In the long run, there is still a lot of room for planning, which can accommodate the all-round development of "morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor".

Tan Wenbin treats these two children with deep fatherly love, including when giving them "post-death education".

But when it comes to Li Zhuiyuan, the world becomes much more cruel, mainly because in Li Zhuiyuan's mind, "learning" and "burden" and "hard work" have nothing to do with each other at all.

"Breakfast!"

Go downstairs and have breakfast.

Runsheng is ready. Others have a bowl of plain noodles sprinkled with chopped green onions and delicately garnished, but Runsheng has a big pot of noodles, which loses its gracefulness while showing its boldness.

Li Sanjiang asked in surprise: "Hey, where is Youhou?"

Runsheng: "Uncle Li, Ah You has gone to pick up Zhuangzhuang."

Li Sanjiang: "When will Zhuangzhuang come back?"

Runsheng: "I don't know, Zhou Yunyun has also returned to Nantong."

"Then I won't rush him." Li Sanjiang ate a mouthful of noodles and asked in confusion, "Zhou Yunyun has returned to Nantong. What happened to Guan Youhou? Why did he go there?"

Li Sanjiang sucked his chopsticks and said seriously:
"You guys, you have to remind You Hou that there are some things that you absolutely cannot do."

……

"Ah!"

Lin Shuyou sneezed loudly.

The two of them sat on the guardrail of Shijia Bridge. This bridge was on the highway. This was the only way to get from the city to Shigang, and any car passing by would definitely see them.

Tan Wenbin handed Lin Shuyou a piece of paper and asked, "With your physical condition, can you still catch a cold?"

Lin Shuyou also felt strange and said, "I don't know either."

Tan Wenbin jumped off the railing, stood in front of Lin Shuyou, and reached out to straighten his collar.

"Come on, cheer up, you have a nice body, give yourself some sunshine and confidence."

The book friend is handsome.

If you ignore his Mandarin with a slight accent, Lin Shuyou could almost be the male protagonist in the popular pornographic-covered romance novels.

In the past, when I was in large classes, female students from other classes would often come up to me and talk to me.

At this time, facing Brother Bin's encouragement, Ayou could only force a smile.

A white car drove by quickly.

Lin Shuyou's pupils flashed, and he said, "Zhou Yunyun."

The car turned around in front, drove back and stopped by the bridge.

The first person to get off the car was Zhou Yunyun, who was sitting in the passenger seat. As soon as she got off, she threw herself into Tan Wenbin's arms, tears streaming down her face unconsciously.

The panic, nightmares and various pressures accumulated in my heart during these days were finally thrown away when I met Tan Wenbin.

She held Tan Wenbin's arm tightly with both hands and listened carefully to his heartbeat. She wanted to make sure that all this was real and this was not a dream.

Tan Wenbin put one arm around her shoulders and stroked her hair with the other hand. He rested his chin on Zhou Yunyun's head and smelled her fragrance.

When people are young, they often have unrealistic fantasies about love, and think that the wedding vows of never leaving each other no matter old, weak, sick or poor are meaningless formalities.

But only when it really reaches a certain stage, you will realize how difficult and precious it is for your partner to do this.

Some people have spent ten or even twenty years carefully trying to find the answer, while others don't even dare to try.

For Tan Wenbin, the girl in his arms now is going to be distracted by his "death".

Even Tan Wenbin himself couldn't understand why she liked him so much.

The person in the driver's seat got out. The girl was wearing a black leather jacket, a metal pendant on her body, and her hair was tied up. She exuded a sense of efficiency and coldness.

This image is just like the cover of a rock album, except for the electric guitar and the up and down swaying of the head.

Lin Shuyou looked at her, then at Zhou Yunyun in Brother Bin's arms.

Isn’t it said that Zhou Yunyun’s classmate looks very similar to Zhou Yunyun?
How...is this similar?
Lin Shuyou admitted that she was very beautiful and had a good figure, but this kind of temperament was not what he liked. After all, Ah You was a very upright and traditional person at heart.

He can understand the pursuit of fashion and individuality, and is even willing to express support, but this does not mean that he himself can accept it.

The girl was also looking at Lin Shuyou. When she came, she heard Zhou Yunyun say that she would introduce a handsome guy to her.

He is indeed very handsome. When he stands there, he has an indescribable sense of tallness, but she doesn't like this kind of well-behaved and obedient boy. Being with such a boy will easily make her lose the passion for life.

Tan Wenbin's eyes swept over the two of them, and he realized that he had been negligent.

He originally thought that birds of a feather flock together, and those who get along well with Zhou Yunyun should be generally similar, but in life and socializing, complementary situations often occur.

For example, someone like Zhou Yunyun, who is gentle and quiet, can easily be surrounded by female companions with strong personalities.

Tan Wenbin: "Yunyun, can you introduce her?"

Zhou Yunyun immediately wiped away her tears and smiled with red eyes: "Let me introduce you, Linlin, this is my boyfriend Tan Wenbin."

Tan Wenbin corrected: "My fiancé has already met his parents."

Zhou Yunyun knocked on Tan Wenbin's chest with her fist and continued to introduce: "This is Lin Shuyou, Binbin's good friend, from Fujian."

Tan Wenbin: "Ayou is my half-brother."

Zhou Yunyun: "Chen Lin, a senior who is one year older than me, from Wenzhou."

Chen Lin took the initiative to walk towards Lin Shuyou. Lin Shuyou thought she wanted to shake hands, so he stepped forward and extended his hand.

Who knew that Chen Lin would just take out a cigarette from his pocket and give one to Lin Shuyou.

Lin Shuyou lowered his head and looked at the cigarette in his palm.

Chen Lin threw another one to Tan Wenbin, then took out an exquisite lighter, lit it with a "click", took a puff and blew out smoke rings, all in one go.

Lin Shuyou silently held the cigarette in his mouth.

Not only Ayou was silent, but also Tongzi.

When he was sitting on the bridge waiting, the boy was still constantly doing ideological work for his medium.

After seeing the real person, the boy shut up.

Chen Lin lit the lighter again, put it close to Lin Shuyou's mouth and helped him light it.

"You don't smoke, do you?"

Lin Shuyou nodded: "I used to smoke, but then Brother Bin asked me to quit."

Tan Wenbin took out a lighter and lit it for himself, then said with a smile: "Young people are growing up, why would they smoke?"

Chen Lin pointed at Tan Wenbin's hair and shrugged: "This hair is dyed very trendy."

Only then did Zhou Yunyun realize that Tan Wenbin's hair was white. Previously, she was only concerned with checking whether Tan Wenbin was really alive and did not pay attention to the details.

"Binbin, your hair..."

Tan Wenbin: "During my internship, my supervisor said I looked too young. To make it easier to work, I dyed my hair white. Look, do I look more mature?"

Zhou Yunyun: "It doesn't look good, it makes me look old."

Tan Wenbin: "That means it's effective. Don't worry, it will turn black after a while. I use cheap and low-quality hair dye to save money.

Let’s go to the town to have breakfast first. There are few restaurants in Shinan, so let’s go to Shigang to eat.

"Student Chen, how about I drive?"

Chen Lin nodded, opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

Tan Wenbin threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it, then sat in the driving seat. Lin Shuyou opened the passenger door and was about to get in when he saw Zhou Yunyun coming over. He awkwardly put his hand on the bottom edge of the door to prevent her from hitting her head.

Zhou Yunyun: "Ayou, you are too polite."

Lin Shuyou smiled, then sat in the back seat and put out his cigarette before getting in the car.

But after getting in, I found that Chen Lin was still smoking and there was a lingering smell of old cigarettes in the car. It was obvious that she did not take good care of her car.

As the car started, Chen Lin asked, "Tan, how did you manage to make Yunyun so devoted to you? If I hadn't been driving, she would have taken the first bus back this morning."

Tan Wenbin turned his head and said, "The monitor in high school liked the gangster boy who sat next to the teacher's desk during class. How classic, isn't it?"

Zhou Yunyun sat in the passenger seat with a red face, not saying a word.

Chen Lin: "I said Yunyun was young and unsophisticated and easily deceived. Yunyun refuted me and said that was not the case. She said that you could risk your life to be good to her."

Zhou Yunyun reminded: "Linlin..."

Tan Wenbin pursed his lips, not arguing over the issue, and simply said, "It should be."

At that time, the woman from Shizhuo Zhao cursed Zhou Yunyun out of jealousy, so she followed Brother Xiaoyuan to kill him at Shizhuo Zhao. The girl who cast the curse was dismembered by Tan Wenbin using a Yellow River shovel.

Zhou Yunyun didn't know about these things, but her woman's sixth sense made her vaguely aware of what Tan Wenbin had done for her in those days.

I found an old noodle restaurant in Shigang Town. It was not very big and it was past the morning rush hour, so there were not many customers inside.

Tan Wenbin: "Come and try it. I used to come here often when I was a day student at school."

"Binbin, oh, it's you, Binbin. Long time no see."

"Yes, Aunt Zhao, it's me."

"This is..." Aunt Zhao pointed at Zhou Yunyun and asked.

"My child's mother."

"Ah, so fast?"

"That's right, I've already had two children."

"You little brat, you're still so talkative and nonsensical."

Tan Wenbin laughed and ordered noodles, wontons, and some buns and fried dough sticks.

The environment inside is a bit greasy, especially near the inside, the walls are a bit black.

Lin Shuyou was just about to tell Chen Lin that she should sit outside while he sat inside.

As a result, Chen Lin spoke first: "I'll sit inside and you sit outside."

After saying that, she sat down first.

It can be seen that her family conditions are good, but she has a strong ability to adapt to the environment.

Tan Wenbin: "I'm sorry, this is a small place after all, and the conditions are simple."

Chen Lin: "This is where you and Yunyun lived and went to school. It has your stories. Isn't this where you come out to play to find these things?"

Lin Shuyou: "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, if there is no story behind it, it will be easy to get tired of it."

Chen Lin looked at Lin Shuyou, picked up a steamed bun, and said, "Here, I'll give you a bun."

Lin Shuyou took the bun and started eating it somewhat embarrassedly. In fact, this was what Xiaoyuan said when they went to other places in the province.

Because there are many scenic spots in JS Province, but there are no famous mountains or rivers or magnificent scenery, they rely on the publicity dividends of the poems of their predecessors, and then tourists come in an endless stream to fill in the gaps in their imaginations.

Tan Wenbin: "After dinner, I'll take you to the city to walk around and climb Wolf Mountain?"

I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to tourism resources in the province, Nantong says it is second to last, and no other city dares to compete for the last place.

Chen Lin shook his head: "There's no need to go through so much trouble. I've checked the altitude of Langshan Mountain. Running up there won't necessarily make you sweat."

Tan Wenbin: "This is called easy mountain climbing. Climbing too high is not good either. It is tiring."

Chen Lin: "You can go wherever you want, even home, just give me a room to rest in. Oh, it should be soundproofed."

Zhou Yunyun: "Linlin, come and eat dumplings."

Chen Lin took a bite of the dumpling, looked at Zhou Yunyun's expression, and asked in confusion: "You guys, you haven't had that yet."

"Cough cough..." Tan Wenbin choked on the soy milk. It was rare to see someone asking such a direct question, and it was a girl.

Zhou Yunyun blushed and lowered her head.

In the past, the two were very natural when they were together, but for some reason, after coming here, Linlin seemed like a different person.

Lin Shuyou: "As adults, we must learn to be responsible."

Chen Lin laughed: "It's something that both parties are happy about, so why do you say who owes whom? What an old-fashioned idea."

Lin Shuyou hesitated to speak. He knew that Brother Bin was worried that he would die in the river, so he did not do that out of his responsibility to Zhou Yunyun.

Tan Wenbin's eyes narrowed, and his snake pupils flashed for a moment, and he asked, "How many people have you dated?"

Chen Lin shrugged: "Too many, too many to count. I just recently got some free time. With Yunyun accompanying me, I'm not lonely anymore."

Tan Wenbin suppressed his smile and lowered his head to eat wontons. He had just seen that the other person had the aura of a virgin, so this was no different from the inexperienced boys in the dormitory who liked to brag about their love history.

Tan Wenbin finished eating first and went to pay the bill. Lin Shuyou also ate quickly and followed him out.

"Brother Bin..."

"It's okay, don't feel burdened. We don't like each other anyway."

Next, Tan Wenbin drove everyone to Zhou Yunyun's house.

Now that he is back, he must visit his parents. Even if Zhou Yunyun doesn't need to visit, he, Tan Wenbin, has to come back to maintain his favorability.

The future father-in-law and mother-in-law both worked in a textile factory. When Zhou Yunyun's grandmother saw her granddaughter and her future grandson-in-law coming, she happily sent her old man back to the factory to call them back.

Then, we started preparing the meal.

There was a butcher in the village who would go to town to sell his wares at night. My grandmother would go there to cut the meat, catch the chickens directly from their roosts, and catch the fish in the pond behind her house.

It was a lively lunch. After the meal, Chen Lin took a nap as he was indeed sleepy after traveling at night.

Tan Wenbin held Zhou Yunyun's hand and walked in the village.

After they were tired of walking, the two sat by the stream and talked.

Tan Wenbin talked about the interesting things he had seen and heard while traveling around for projects. As he was talking, Zhou Yunyun lay in his arms and fell asleep in the warm afternoon sun.

Gently brushing the hair off her cheek, Tan Wenbin smiled.

At this moment, he also hypocritically hoped that time could stand still forever.

Lin Shuyou really had nothing to do. He couldn't go upstairs to take a nap with others, nor could he go for a walk with Brother Bin. In the end, he simply picked up a hoe and followed Zhou Yunyun's grandfather to work in the fields.

This put Zhou Yunyun's grandfather in a dilemma. It was obvious that the young man had a lot of energy, but the problem was that it was not right for him to help his own family with the work.

Chen Lin slept until dusk, and Lin Shuyou worked until dusk.

The old couple felt very embarrassed.

Chen Lin walked out of the room and came to the second-floor balcony, where she could just see Lin Shuyou working in the fields.

She couldn't understand what Lin Shuyou was doing there, but the scene looked quite interesting.

Chen Lin took out a thimble from his pocket. It was made of silver and engraved with seven coiled pythons. He flicked it lightly with his fingertips and a thin needle stood up from the ring.

Chen Lin put his fingertip close and pricked it lightly, then his whole body trembled and a hint of white appeared in his eyes.

After looking around, he moved his fingertips away, retracted the needle, and put the thimble into his pocket.

"How come Nantong is so clean?"

In the fields below.

Lin Shuyou, who was doing farm work, froze and then looked back.

Behind was Zhou Yunyun’s two-story house, and on the second-floor balcony stood Chen Lin.

The boy's voice came from the bottom of his heart: "This is Yin Yang School. This girl is from Yin Yang School."

Lin Shuyou: "Why didn't Brother Bin and I notice this before?"

Boy: "This is a branch of the Yin-Yang School. They take Yin and follow Yang, do things with Yin and avoid the world with Yang, and cut off the cause and effect by themselves.

When she doesn't show her dark side, if you only look at her positive side, you can tell that she is a normal person with no flaws."

Lin Shuyou: "Good or bad?"

Tongzi: "Are you watching a TV show? Are there good guys and bad guys?"

Lin Shuyou: "I'm worried that Zhou Yunyun might be in danger."

Boy: "It shouldn't be dangerous. Tan Wenbin's merits of walking on the river can benefit his father, and a part of it will definitely fall on Zhou Yunyun. Zhou Yunyun can meet her and stay with her, and she can shield Zhou Yunyun from some troubles.

Besides, Zhou Yunyun was just an ordinary person, no one would target her. Moreover, since she chose to get along with Zhou Yunyun in a positive way, she was actually more afraid of getting involved in karma.

This is indeed a good blind date, medium, you have to seize the opportunity."

"What do you mean?"

“Her school also focuses on bloodline inheritance. Only through continuous modification and repair by generations of ancestors can the order of yin and yang be clear and seamless.

You are the most talented officer among the generals, and with the blood of the Yin-Yang family, the child you give birth to should have good talent. "

"Boy, you think very deeply."

"I can exist for a long time. You must be influenced by your brother Xiaoyuan and won't seek ways to prolong your life. You can't ask me to be buried with you after you die, right?
You have to leave me a carrier of higher quality. If you really become extinct, I will be more pitiful than those lonely old men."

"Forget it, we are not each other's type."

Lin Shuyou picked up the hoe and planned to go to Tan Wenbin to report the situation.

It happened that Tan Wenbin and Zhou Yunyun came back, and Lin Shuyou took the initiative to walk up to them. After Zhou Yunyun greeted Lin Shuyou, she ran back to her home to find Chen Lin.

After explaining the matter, Tan Wenbin touched his chin and said, "I agree with the boy's judgment. By the way, besides these, what else did the boy say?"

Lin Shuyou: “No more.”

The next moment, Lin Shuyou's eyes began to open and close vertically.

"Hehehe." Tan Wenbin was amused and said, "Does the boy make you more proactive and work harder?"

Lin Shuyou shook his head, but his pupils continued to wrestle.

Tan Wenbin reached out and patted Lin Shuyou on the shoulder, saying earnestly:

"Boy, I understand if you push him a little, but don't cross the line. Be careful that Ah You will go to Xiao Yuan and tell on him. You don't want to have another seal placed on Ah You, do you?"

The vertical pupil disappears.

Tan Wenbin: "Let's go, it's time for dinner."

After dinner, Chen Lin suggested going singing.

Although Shigang Town has the largest population and the most abundant businesses in the vicinity, it is still far behind the urban area.

However, activities like singing will only be lively when there are a lot of people, so Tan Wenbin drove everyone back to Siyuan Village first.

Xiaoyuan and A'li definitely won't go, but Mengmeng likes to participate in such activities and loves to play.

The car turned from the village road into the small road leading to Li Sanjiang's house. Tan Wenbin originally planned to let Ayou get off the car and call Mengmeng out to take a car to the city together.

However, Zhou Yunyun insisted that since she was there, she had to greet Uncle Li.

There was no choice, so Tan Wenbin had to accompany her out of the car, and Chen Lin also got out and walked inside.

Li Sanjiang's family had a late dinner. At this moment, Uncle Qin was carrying a bucket to water the flower beds.

"Uncle Qin."

"Strong."

Tan Wenbin pointed to a newly planted area in the flowerbed with some confusion: "What happened here before?"

Uncle Qin: "Changed the variety combination."

In fact, that day, Uncle Qin was hit by the old lady's sword and flew into the flower bed, crushing many flowers, which were newly planted.

"Who is this girl?" Uncle Qin looked at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin took the initiative to introduce herself: "I am Ah You's ex-girlfriend."

Lin Shuyou: “…”

Uncle Qin smiled, nodded, and continued watering the flowers.

Chen Lin squatted down and reached out to gently touch the petals in front of her. Although they were just about to bloom, a special fragrance was already emanating.

The flowers are ordinary flowers, but the fragrance is extraordinary.

Chen Lin looked at Uncle Qin. If it was due to the gardener's level, then this guy's level was too high, wasn't it?

Aunt Liu was serving food to the table. When she saw Tan Wenbin coming back, she said, "Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were coming back?"

Tan Wenbin: "We have eaten, and we plan to call Mengmeng to go sing in the city together."

Aunt Liu: "Mengmeng is in the west room, knock on the door."

Tan Wenbin: “Of course.”

I wouldn’t dare to enter Yin Meng’s house without knocking.

Because even Yin Meng herself cannot ensure whether her house is safe.

After knocking on the door a few times, there was a sound of bottles and jars falling from inside.

After a while, the door was opened, and Yin Meng asked in confusion: "Have the rules been changed now? Do we have to greet each other again when we get home?"

"Would you like to go sing?"

"When?"

"immediately."

"go with!"

Yin Meng came out, closed the door, and ran happily to the kitchen. After a while, she came out even happier and said to Tan Wenbin:

"Aunt Liu is going too."

Aunt Liu lifted up her hair and said with a smile, "I'm free anyway, so I'll go play with you guys."

Ever since Chen Lin stepped onto the dam, his attention has been drawn to the boy and girl on the second-floor terrace.

At the beginning, there were two images. Although they were still young, their temperament and appearance were already extraordinary.

Especially the girl's dress, which made her feel like she was a child looking through ancient paintings in an old house. In this world, there is always a small group of people who can avoid the filth of the mundane world.

Next, the two of them took action. They sat on rattan chairs, tapping their fingers in front of them constantly, as if they were playing some kind of game.

Chen Lin: “What are they doing?”

Lin Shuyou: “Playing chess.”

Chen Lin: "Blind chess? But the chessboard is wrong."

Lin Shuyou: "Three sets at once."

Chen Lin looked more carefully and found that it was true.

Li Zhuiyuan withdrew his hand and moved his eyes downward to Chen Lin.

The positive side of the Yin-Yang family is no different from that of ordinary people, and cannot be detected from the aura, but the look in Chen Lin's eyes when he looked at him just now was filled with the scrutiny of Feng Shui.

Aura can be hidden, but some habits cannot. She must have done this to be lazy and wanted to figure out what she was doing as quickly as possible and replicate the chessboard she was playing on.

Tan Wenbin trotted up the stairs: "Brother Xiaoyuan."

In the corner of the terrace, Tan Wenbin gave a report.

Li Zhuiyuan: "It should be fine. If he is a Yin-Yang master, I just looked at his face and he should be repaired on the Yang side."

Tan Wenbin: "Sunny side?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "It takes the path of taking yin to replenish yang."

Tan Wenbin: “Oh~”

Tan Wenbin didn't understand, and this "taking yin to replenish yang" sounded really weird.

Li Zhuiyuan: "It is to accumulate merits through the esoteric sect and build a secular body. People of this lineage are more careful about their reputation."

The Yin-Yang School once flourished in history, but later gradually declined. Some of the Yin-Yang School’s traditions entered the secular world, which is equivalent to another means of “passing on the family tradition through farming and reading.”

Li Zhuiyuan once found a book called "Explanation of Yin and Yang Physiognomy" in the basement of his great-grandfather's house. To a certain extent, the boy could also be considered an Yin and Yang master.

Tan Wenbin: "It's just that Ah You doesn't like people like her, and she doesn't think highly of Ah You either."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Did the boy urge you?"

Tan Wenbin: "It's okay, he just urged me a few times, but the boy still fully respected Ayou's opinion."

A'li sat on the rattan chair, his eyes also on Chen Lin.

On the dam, Chen Lin squatted down, holding her stomach, looking very uncomfortable.

Ahri's eyes can penetrate her positive side and see her negative side.

Chen Lin only felt that there was a fire burning on her body. When she did not actively control it, her dark side seemed to be revealed. The harder she tried to restrain herself, the more uncomfortable her body felt.

This feeling, is it like I'm going crazy?

Therefore, there is no such thing as perfect disguise in this world.

A-li had no ill intentions, she just habitually wanted to see through everyone who appeared in front of her.

Just like in the past years, in her dream, she watched one evil spirit after another disguised and intimidating her in front of her.

If you want to not be afraid and not be affected by them, you must see their nature clearly.

Li Sanjiang's voice came: "Ayou is back, that Zhuangzhuang, where is Zhuangzhuang, where is my Zhuangzhuang!"

Tan Wenbin: "Uncle Li, Zhuangzhuang is here!"

While responding loudly, Tan Wenbin ran down quickly and rushed in front of Li Sanjiang.

"You've lost weight! How come you've lost so much weight?"

Li Sanjiang was heartbroken because the mule had lost weight.

Tan Wenbin: "The food outside is not as good as at home. Uncle Li, the food at your home is delicious and nourishing."

"Hey, then let your Aunt Liu make more for you and make it better. Hey, what's wrong with your hair?"

"I dyed it myself. Does it look good, Mr. Li?"

"What a good-looking guy! Dyeing your hair white is worse than dyeing it yellow. At least it looks energetic."

"Okay, I'll go to the barber shop in town tomorrow and dye my hair a trendy yellow."

"What's wrong with this girl? Is she feeling unwell?"

Li Sanjiang noticed Chen Lin squatting on the ground, and Zhou Yunyun was asking her questions with concern beside her.

Chen Lin just shook his head to indicate that he was fine, but how did he look like he was fine?
Li Zhuiyuan walked to the edge of the terrace and knew what had happened after seeing this scene. He put his hand on A'li's shoulder and patted her gently.

Ah Li, you can't look at me any longer. If you keep looking at me, my true colors will be revealed.

The girl broke away from her concentration and looked away.

The uncomfortable pain in Chen Lin's body disappeared. She let out a long sigh, stood up, and said to Zhou Yunyun, "It's okay, really, you see, I'm okay."

Li Sanjiang asked: "Whose family is this girl from?"

Uncle Qin came back with a bucket and replied, "Ex-girlfriend."

"What?" Li Sanjiang looked at Tan Wenbin, "Your ex-girlfriend?"

Lin Shuyou hurriedly helped Brother Bin explain: "It's mine, no, it's not mine..."

After Tan Wenbin introduced them, Li Sanjiang finally understood the relationship between them.

Li Sanjiang: "Oh, so what your ex-girlfriend meant is that she didn't like you, Youhou?"

Lin Shuyou: “… Yeah.”

Li Sanjiang said to Chen Lin, "Girl, take a closer look. Mules with delicate skin, tender flesh and plenty of work are rare in the world."

Chen Lin had a good impression of Li Sanjiang because her symptoms of being possessed had subsided only after the appearance of this old man.

"Master, our two families are too far apart. It's not suitable."

Li Sanjiang: "Distance is not a problem. Youhou seldom goes home when he is in Nantong. You see, he is not a homebody."

Lin Shuyou didn’t go home very often before, but now... he has a home but can’t go back.

After becoming a true lord, he has actually cut ties with the system of officials and generals.

Li Sanjiang continued, "Youhou's family is well-off, with temples and mountains. You can feed him some more magic potions. Wouldn't you have lured both the man and the money to Wenzhou?"

Boy: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Chen Lin: “Isn’t this a bit bad?”

Li Sanjiang: "Well, what's wrong with that? Aren't you Wenzhou people the best at doing business? This deal is worth it."

Boy: "That's right!"

Lin Shuyou now felt like he was in a cattle market. Uncle Li was just about to roll up his sleeves and count the prices with Chen Lin using his fingers.

Chen Lin didn't know how to respond. For some reason, her usual carefree and unrestrained demeanor was ineffective in front of this old man.

Tan Wenbin took the initiative to help and attracted fire: "Uncle Li, Yunyun is here too."

Li Sanjiang glared at Tan Wenbin and asked, "What's the matter? You want to sell it again? I tell you, I don't agree to this."

Tan Wenbin: “How can that be possible?”

Li Sanjiang: "Let me tell you, Yunyun is such a good girl. It's a blessing for you, a white-haired guy, to fall in love with her."

Tan Wenbin: “Yes, that’s right.”

Li Sanjiang looked at Zhou Yunyun and asked, "I heard that you can get a marriage certificate and have a baby while in college?"

Zhou Yunyun: “Ah?”

Li Sanjiang: "We should get the marriage certificate as soon as possible, and have children if possible, preferably twins.

You see, Zhuangzhuang's father is being promoted like a rocket.

We have to hurry up, isn't that what's shown on TV? When you have a high status, you have to break up the couple and arrange a marriage."

Although Zhou Yunyun was very shy, she could hear the old man's care and protection for her.

Tan Wenbin: "Uncle Li, you eat first. We've already eaten. Now we're going to the city to sing. Do you want to go?"

Li Sanjiang: "Then you guys go, how can I go?"

A group of people left, and there were too many people, so Yin Meng drove the small pickup truck as well.

Tan Wenbin knocked on Yin Meng's car window.

Yin Meng rolled down the window and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's a lot more fun with more people. Go to Big Beard's house and ask Lihua if she wants to go. Then ask Xiao Yingying, she likes singing."

"okay."

Yin Meng drove the car onto the village road and asked in confusion, "Would it be inappropriate to bring Xiao Yingying up with him?"

Aunt Liu, who was sitting in the back seat, said, "It's okay. That girl is not an easy person to deal with."

Yin Meng: "So they don't know? Or they know but didn't tell me?"

Aunt Liu: "I think it's harmless."

The pickup truck drove to the bearded man's house, and Yin Meng got out to call for help.

Lihua agreed readily, and Xiao Yingying also agreed, temporarily handing Benben over to Xiong Shan.

Xiong Shan teased his son, but Benben turned his head away, acting like he was not familiar with his biological father.

The man and the dead man followed Yin Meng and ran towards the car with light steps. When they got closer and saw Aunt Liu sitting in the car, they both slowed down their pace.

Aunt Liu: "Alas, it seems that I shouldn't have gone. I've ruined your mood."

Lihua and Xiao Yingying quickly opened the car door and got in.

Xiong Shan held the child in his arms, standing on the dam, looking at the people in the car, and couldn't help but lower his head and said to his unknown son in his arms:
"Your mother must be so happy now."

Benben: “Hehe.”

On the dam at home, those who didn’t go to sing were eating.

Liu Yumei sat alone at the small round table and said to Li Sanjiang, "How can you be an elder like this? You urge everyone to get married and have children. You really treat people like mules."

Li Sanjiang wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, glanced at Li Zhuiyuan and A'li who were eating together, and did not refute.

Did he want to urge others? He also wanted to urge his own mules, but those mules were all adults, and his mules were still young.

After dinner, Liu Yumei took A'li back to the house to take a bath.

A while ago, when she was the eldest daughter of the Liu family, she sat in the bathtub and asked A Li to refill her with hot water.

Every now and then one would say, "Sister, the water is cold," or "Sister, put some more petals."

A'li is really obedient and does whatever I ask her to do.

Now, looking at Ah Li sitting in the bathtub, Liu Yumei couldn't help laughing and said:
"Come, sit down, sister will help you take a bath."

Ali turned around, glanced at her grandmother, and turned back.

Liu Yumei, who was standing at the back, could see her granddaughter's reflection on the water surface with floating petals, and the girl smiled.

……

A group of people entered the practice room. Tan Wenbin asked for a private room and ordered a lot of beer and fruit plates.

At first, for various reasons, everyone was a little restrained, but gradually, the scene became more lively.

Aunt Liu has a great voice and sings beautifully with a professional feel that made Chen Lin unable to help but admire her and look at her sideways.

You know, when we first met, this woman was wearing an apron and cooking for her family.

Tan Wenbin ordered a song "Thousands of Songs" for Xiao Yingying, purely as a reminiscence of the golden song that Xiao Yuan had heard back then.

When he thought about how Brother Xiaoyuan was bewitched by the little yellow warbler when he listened to this song, Tan Wenbin couldn't help but want to laugh.

It's just that this kind of little evil taste can only be enjoyed by oneself and cannot be shared.

Then, Tan Wenbin specially selected a song that was very popular at the time. After that, he handed one microphone to Chen Lin and the other to Lin Shuyou.

Lin Shuyou refused: "Brother Bin, I can't sing."

Since entering here, Lin Shuyou has been sitting there obediently and has not sung a single song.

Tan Wenbin: "It's okay, you will definitely know this."

After the accompaniment sounded, Lin Shuyou looked at the screen and found that he did know how to do it.

Chen Lin pointed at Lin Shuyou generously and said, "Come on, ex-boyfriend, come together!"

The two began to sing together:

"When you lose your ambition, you will inevitably feel resentful; when you are down and out, you will inevitably feel terrified... Only those who love to fight will win!"
