Chapter 268

"Eunuch..."

Zhao Yi hung up the phone.

He didn't expect that Mr. Li would live with the old lady, but now that he knew, he felt it was natural.

The old lady's family is small now, and coupled with Li's terrifying talent, it is only normal for her to treat him as her own grandson and love him like one.

If Zhao Yi were an elder with the surname Li, he would also be very fond of this smart child.

However, Tan Wenbin was now eager to dig a hole for himself and had dug three inches deep, forcing Zhao Yi to reconsider his attitude towards Tan Wenbin.

After all, in ancient times, besides being irreconcilable with eunuchs, civil officials had another choice, which was to make friends with eunuchs and join the eunuch party.

Behind Zhao Yi, Liang Yan and Liang Li were each carrying a large bag and holding a large luggage bag in their hands.

The two sisters were dressed fashionably and were very beautiful, but they were carrying so much luggage, which was quite a contrast. Passersby on the street kept looking at them.

They all first looked at the sisters who were standing with heavy loads, and then looked at Zhao Yi who had his hands in his pockets.

Old man Tian was sitting in a wheelchair with a blanket on his knees and rolling tobacco in his hands.

After being paralyzed by injury, the neurological pain continued to torture him, and he had gotten used to giving himself some anesthetic from time to time.

It doesn't matter when you smoke at home, but when you smoke outside, you have to spit every puff of smoke into the water hyacinth, otherwise it will easily knock down everyone around you.

Zhao Yi reminded the two sisters, "Someone will come to pick us up later. When we get there, you two should behave yourself and keep your eyebrows down."

Liang Yan: "We can choose not to look at people."

Liang Li: "You can also keep silent."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and spread it in front of them:
"If you don't care about the family's life or death, you can be as rude as you want. I have written the letter of withdrawal and brought it with me. I can cut ties with you at any time."

Liang Yan: "A useless man."

Liang Li: "Do I feel safe marrying you?"

Zhao Yi: "The premise of protecting you is that you have to have brains. It's okay if you don't have brains, but you have to be obedient."

Old Man Tian: "Master, is it so serious?"

Zhao Yi: "The man surnamed Li lives with the old lady."

The cigarette that Old Man Tian had just rolled fell to the ground.

Zhao Yi: "The Li family is still living together without worrying about being involved in karma. This means that the old lady is also wearing Bailongyu clothing and lives a life like ordinary people.

Acting as an ordinary person is a performance, we must never take it seriously.

At this time, the most taboo thing is for outsiders to be blind and take advantage of you."

Liang Yan: “We know.”

Liang Li: "I will be good."

Zhao Yi nodded, walked to the front of the bookstore, and flipped through a copy of the Yangtze Evening News.

As the college entrance examination and the senior high school entrance examination are approaching, all bookstores put various teaching supplementary materials on display.

Zhao Yi turned a page of the newspaper and saw a book under him out of the corner of his eye.

No, to be exact, there are many books, one brand, in various colors. Moving your eyes left and right, you can see that the teaching materials of this brand occupy the best position at the front of the bookstall.

"The secret to success for the provincial college entrance examination champion!"

《The Ladder to College Entrance Examination Success! 》

《Lucky Bookmark Collection Special Edition.》

The planning copy is different, but the brand is the same - "Zhuiyuan Secret Scroll".

"What's Li's name?"

Zhao Yi's first reaction was that they had the same name, but when he picked up a book and opened the first page, he saw a photo of someone named Li.

It was not a photo taken intentionally, but more like a group ID photo taken in high school. The clarity was not very high, but it was enough to confirm their identity.

"You actually have so much leisure time?"

Looking further down at the content in the preface, it is written in the first person, telling the story of a poor student who made amazing progress after studying with Li Zhuiyuan and understanding his study methods, and finally successfully got admitted to the university of his choice.

The preface is signed by Tan Wenbin.

Zhao Yi smiled. Mr. Li was definitely too lazy to bother with all this. This kind of income-generating work should naturally fall under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After taking a book and paying the money, Zhao Yi unsealed the book, opened it, and pinched out a talisman paper bookmark from inside.

In the past, Mr. Li would have really drawn his own talismans and stuffed them in, but now that sales have increased, the talisman paper has become printed.

A pickup truck drove over, Tan Wenbin rolled down the window and waved:
"Master Zhao, get in the car."

"Don't you see I brought so many gifts? Why don't you come down to help carry them?"

"You brought gifts because we have something your Zhao family wants more. Whoever takes the initiative to go to the other party will get the upper hand."

Zhao Yi gave a wink, and the Liang sisters threw all their luggage onto the pickup truck, including old Tiantou, who was sitting in a wheelchair. Then the two sisters also got into the back of the car.

Zhao Yi opened the passenger door and got in alone.

Tan Wenbin turned around and complained, "Why did you choose this place to meet? This is the place with the heaviest flow of people and vehicles in Nantong."

Zhao Yi: "I didn't expect you guys live so far away."

Tan Wenbin: "Could it be possible that your Zhao family's ancestral home is located in the city center?"

Zhao Yi: "You are right."

Tan Wenbin: "A great hermit hiding in the city?"

Zhao Yi shook his head. "When our ancestors chose the site to build the house, they didn't expect that such a remote place could be developed. Later, there was no other way. The original house was divided up, and restrictions and formations were set up. It was hidden in the city, and the direct descendants of the family lived in the newly built manor on the outskirts of the city."

Tan Wenbin: "The treasure house is also in the city?"

Zhao Yi: "If the formation restriction there is destroyed, innocent people may be implicated."

Tan Wenbin: "You Zhao family members are really evil. If there is a theft and a disaster someday, it will be your fault for not taking proper fire safety measures."

Zhao Yi: "Have some shame."

Tan Wenbin: "Where is Chen Jing?"

Zhao Yi: "He is taking a blood bath at home to stimulate his blood. Sun Yan and Xu Ming are watching him at home. Aren't you going to attack the Lu family? I have enough Liang sisters here."

Tan Wenbin nodded. He had seen the strength of the Liang sisters.

To wipe out the whole family, all you have to do is force it through if you have enough power. Even if there are some that slip through the net, there is still the Chen family who has been bullied for a long time and will be responsible for tracking them down.

Zhao Yi: "Is there any fun place in Nantong? This is my first time here. Can you be my tour guide?"

Tan Wenbin: "Being a tour guide in Nantong is like running a bathing place in the Sahara."

Zhao Yi: "There must be some specialties, right?"

Tan Wenbin: "You can bring back a few sets of supplementary teaching materials and give them to the younger generation in your family who don't have the talent for cultivation."

Zhao Yi: "Why did you choose to be born in such a boring place?"

Tan Wenbin: "You're talking as if reincarnation is something I can choose?"

Zhao Yi: "As long as the means are sophisticated and you are willing to pay a sufficient price, you can really choose."

Tan Wenbin: "That has nothing to do with me."

Zhao Yi: "Actually, there is another reason why I didn't bring Chen Jing here. I was afraid he wouldn't be able to get in."

Tan Wenbin: "Not really, just a greeting."

Zhao Yi: "These rules in Nantong weren't made up by the old lady, right?"

Tan Wenbin: “No.”

Zhao Yi: "Would you like to introduce me to him?"

Tan Wenbin: "That's a must."

Zhao Yi: "Is this pit deep?"

Tan Wenbin: "To be honest with you, that person can only chat with Brother Xiaoyuan."

Zhao Yi: "I'm not much worse."

Tan Wenbin: "It's different. This is more difficult than reincarnation."

The car drove into Shihnan Town and slowed down.

Zhao Yi stretched his hand out of the window and waved it, signaling his men to restrain themselves now.

Drive into the village road and then turn into a small road, and Li Sanjiang’s house is at the end.

Zhao Yi: "We can stop here."

Driving up the dam in one breath was too exciting, so Young Master Zhao wanted to slow down first.

Tan Wenbin expressed his understanding and stopped the car.

After getting off the bus, everyone started carrying their luggage.

Old Tiantou pushed his wheelchair on the path, turned a little, and said something nonsense:
"Really in the countryside?"

The medicine garden where he lives now is even more fairy-like than this place.

The Liang sisters carried things and looked at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi was concentrating on taking deep breaths.

Just as he adjusted himself and prepared to move forward, Uncle Qin appeared in the field opposite.

Uncle Qin was standing there, carrying a hoe and drinking water.

Zhao Yi looked at Uncle Qin and his expression froze.

There was fear in his eyes, but it soon faded and turned into gratitude.

Indeed, the scene of three knives and six holes is still vivid in his mind, but Zhao Yi knows very well that if this man had not given him a hand, he, Zhao Yi... would have died long ago.

The longer I travel by river and the more I experience serious injuries and near-death experiences, the clearer it becomes that as long as I can keep my life, nothing else matters.

Zhao Yi saluted Qin Shu with great respect.

Uncle Qin raised the large teacup in his hand forward as a return gesture.

Old man Tian sat in a wheelchair, lowered his head, and performed the Zhao family's external ceremony with his hands.

The Liang sisters also put down their luggage, but when they were about to pay their respects, Uncle Qin turned around and continued to weed.

Zhao Yi went to choose the gifts, repacked them and carried them by himself, then said, "You stay here, I'll go in alone."

Uncle Qin's meaning was very clear. Since it was a gangster who came to visit, the real boss could go in alone, and his guards would naturally have to stay outside.

Tan Wenbin led the way in front and Zhao Yi followed behind.

As we approached the dam, we saw a woman in plain clothes sitting on the dam railing and cracking melon seeds.

The woman smiled as she looked at the "stranger young man" who was approaching.

Zhao Yi put the gift down and saluted again.

Although I have never seen him, I can guess who he is.

The Qin and Liu families declined, but they were still not deserted. For a long time, the two servants who were raised by the old lady supported the only facade of the Dragon King's family.

These two people rarely appear in the world, but every time they go out, they can cause a big commotion.

During this salute, the corners of Zhao Yi's mouth twitched slightly.

He knew that if the person in front of him had come to the apology banquet that night instead of Uncle Qin, he would have no chance of surviving.

Aunt Liu asked, "Do you want to eat melon seeds?"

Zhao Yi shook his head and said apologetically, "I've been suffering from a sore throat lately. I've got blisters all over my body."

Aunt Liu yawned and looked away, not looking at him.

Zhao Yi followed Tan Wenbin to the dam.

In the hall, Yin Meng was painting the coffin, and Chen Lin just walked out of the utility room with a can of newly mixed paint. When she came to the front of the house, she saw Zhao Yi who had just walked up.

Chen Lin's face immediately tightened, his body trembled, his hands loosened, the can fell to the ground, and the paint splattered all over the floor.

But Chen Lin didn't care about this at this time, her lips just trembled: "Zhao... Zhao..."

Zhao Yi looked at the woman in front of him with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He didn't remember any interaction with this woman.

Tan Wenbin raised his arm, poked Zhao Yi gently, and teased: "Why, you bullied others before, be careful to get beaten."

Lin Shuyou was still a novice who was ignorant about relationships. Even when faced with Chen Lin's active concern and approach, he was hesitant and didn't know how to respond.

But if Zhao Yi had ever bullied Chen Lin...anyway, given Lin Shuyou's impression of Zhao Yi, any excuse would make him happy to beat Zhao Yi up.

Zhao Yi: "You all know what I looked like before. I was in a wheelchair like you were a while ago. In that state, did I still have the energy to bully a little girl?"

Tan Wenbin: "There are many ways to bully. Those without normal abilities may be more perverted."

Zhao Yi: "You are the one who understands, Tan Daban."

Chen Lin took a deep breath, took the initiative to step forward, bowed slightly, and said in a trembling voice:
"I have met you, Master Zhao."

Zhao Yi: "Your last name is Chen?"

Chen Lin nodded, not daring to look Zhao Yi in the eye.

Zhao Yi: "Oh, I remember now. When I was looking for a solution to the gap between life and death on my forehead, Old Man Tian carried me to many places to look for a solution. He must have also gone to see a Yin-Yang master."

When Li Zhuiyuan and others first met Zhao Yi, it was because Jiujiang Zhao heard that a branch family had figured out a new spell to avoid the backlash of cause and effect. Zhao Yi went to see it, but found that it was a lousy method of transfer. He also sensed the danger of Shizhuo Zhao, so he just ran away.

The main purpose was to go to a branch family like the Shizhuo Zhao, so there was no need to worry about the branch being disadvantageous to them. So that day there was only one old man Tian accompanying them. When they went to other families to "ask for advice", the scene would inevitably be much bigger.

After all, in the eyes of the Dragon King family, Jiujiang Zhao is nothing, and even looks a bit ridiculous like a nouveau riche. But looking at the entire world, Jiujiang Zhao is a giant.

Chen Lin had met Zhao Yi on that day. He came to her house and asked to see the martial arts techniques. He was so imposing that her father and other elders did not dare to resist this sickly young man.

After the young man got the skills and read through them, he shook his head and sighed, showing obvious disappointment.

When he left, all the elders in the family came to see him off. Only after he was out of sight did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Lin remembered that her brother clenched his fists at the time, and what was revealed in his eyes was not the anger of being bullied and ignored, but a deep desire:

"Sister, this is the Dragon King's house."

It can be said that the seed of his brother's determination to light a lamp and travel the world was planted by that Young Master Zhao.

Now, Chen Lin never expected that he would be able to meet Young Master Zhao again here.

Young Master Zhao no longer looked sickly, as if the mysterious problem of the gap between life and death had been cured. He had no guards or followers around him and was alone.

And...he was holding both hands full of gifts.

Even though Chen Lin had imagined this place to be extremely unreal, reality told her that her imagination was still too insufficient.

"Linlin, where's the paint? Hey, it's all spilled?"

Yin Meng rolled up her sleeves and walked out with a brush in her hand.

Zhao Yi: "Mengmeng, I'm busy."

"Master Zhao, you're here." Yin Meng set her eyes on the bag Zhao Yi was holding and asked directly, "Is there any for me?"

Zhao Yi: "Yes, all of them. I can forget anyone but you."

Originally, Yin Meng should have been the least noticeable person in Li's team, but it turned out that this inconspicuous person cooperated with Tan Wenbin and dug the biggest hole for himself.

He jumped into the pit knowing it was a pit, but he didn't expect it to be so deep.

That’s why Zhao Yi felt that Lin Shuyou was the only good person in Li’s team.

Yin Meng noticed Chen Lin's fear and asked in confusion: "Why, you know him too?"

Chen Lin nodded: "It's Master Zhao."

Yin Meng smiled and said, "Have you ever bullied her?"

"We just met once." Then Zhao Yi frowned, "Who has a crush on her?"

Zhao Yi first looked at Tan Wenbin. He had a childhood sweetheart, so it couldn't be him. If it was Runsheng, Yin Meng wouldn't have such an expression.

It's even more impossible for the one with the surname Li. Not to mention that he is so young and he likes the older sister. Even if the old lady is open-minded and values ​​him, it is impossible for him to take in a maid right now, right?

After eliminating them one by one, there is only one answer left.

Zhao Yi immediately showed a loving smile and said to Chen Lin: "Oh, is it my sister-in-law?"

Chen Lin was so frightened by the sudden change in tone that she trembled.

Tan Wenbin: "How did you make our internal investigation so clear?"

Zhao Yi: "Have you forgotten that in addition to reading people's expressions, I can also read their hearts."

In fact, these private matters were told to him by Lin Shuyou.

At that time in Lijiang, he was either carried on Lin Shuyou's back or slept in the same sleeping bag with Lin Shuyou.

The journey was too boring, so I just wanted to listen to some gossip, especially some about love.

Lin Shuyou is a principled person and won't talk about other people's love affairs, but he couldn't resist threatening others by saying "You don't want anyone to know about that, do you?"

Yin Meng hugged Chen Lin's shoulders, shook him, and comforted him, "It's okay, he doesn't dare to bite anyone here."

Zhao Yi: “Heh.”

During the few days that Chen Lin was here, he failed to win over Lin Shuyou, but he won over Yin Meng.

Who doesn’t want to have an obedient and caring companion by your side, who can not only lend you a hand, but also provide you with constant emotional value... and even cook delicious Sichuan cuisine?

Liu Yumei had noticed this a long time ago, and felt that the Yin family was indeed in decline, as they had produced such a dull girl. If she were thrown into the mansion, she would probably have no idea how she would be played to death.

If people put a little thought into it, they can make you feel comfortable.

In other words, Runsheng has a strong taste. The girl likes Lin Shuyou, otherwise Yin Meng would have been usurped by someone else and would have to help him prepare his dowry.

Runsheng and Lin Shuyou had just returned from delivering goods, each pulling a cart, and met the Liang sisters and old man Tian who were waiting outside.

"Did you bring the seeds?" Runsheng asked Old Man Tian.

Old Man Tian smiled and said, "I brought a lot. I'll have to ask you to help me plant them when the time comes. As you can see, I'm a little inconvenient now."

Runsheng: "Zhao Yi said that you were also responsible for both planting and making medicine in your hometown."

Old Man Tian laughed awkwardly: "Ah... hehe."

Runsheng: "I don't like this place."

Old Man Tian was so frightened by this that he almost jumped out of his wheelchair. "I mean, with your help, I can plant faster and harvest faster, that's what I mean."

Runsheng nodded and continued to pull the cart forward.

Lin Shuyou had already walked to the front and was now on the dam, shouting:

"Three eyes!"

Zhao Yi did not look back, but took out a white jade bracelet from his bag, handed it to Chen Lin, and said:
"Ayou is a good match. I'd be happy if you two could be together. Since you're in love, you should look further ahead and focus more on the future. As for the past right and wrong, those youthful recklessness and recklessness, don't mention them anymore and don't worry about them anymore."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yi turned around and glanced at Lin Shuyou.

Lin Shuyou was choked by these words and could only stare at Zhao Yi.

Seeing this, Chen Lin, even though she was concerned about Zhao Yi's identity, did not dare to accept his gift and quickly pushed the bracelet away.

Zhao Yi was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said to Lin Shuyou, "What a good girl. She knows how to care about your feelings and is considerate. If you continue to be indecisive and let her down, I will not forgive you."

Lin Shuyou: "You..."

Zhao Yi turned around and looked up at the second floor. There were two rattan chairs on the terrace, but no one was sitting on them.

Looking at the east room again, the door was closed.

He hesitated for a moment, but decided to pay his respects to the younger ones first and then to the older ones.

"Um, can we go upstairs?"

Tan Wenbin: "We won't go up there if we have nothing to do on weekdays."

Zhao Yi continued to stare at the terrace on the second floor, thinking to himself, "You, Mr. Li, should at least give me some face."

At this time, Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the room and came to the terrace.

He didn't stay in there on purpose, but he was busy squeezing out the "Evil Book" in the wordless book, deducing a health-preserving exercise that had no practical value. In fact, he didn't want the "Evil Book" to have too much leisure time.

"Come up."

Zhao Yi gave the gift to Lin Shuyou to carry for him, then walked into the house and went upstairs.

When he came to the terrace, he saw Li Zhuiyuan sitting on a rattan chair. There was an empty chair next to him, so he wanted to sit over there.

As I was walking towards there, a cold gaze was cast from inside the room.

Zhao Yi turned his head and looked at the girl standing in front of the desk through the screen door.

This was the first time he met Qin Li.

At the beginning, this girl almost became his marriage partner, and he almost lost his life because of this name.

At first glance, he didn't have time to appreciate the girl's appearance, because from the moment their eyes met, his heart almost stopped.

He was not amazed by the girl's exquisite beauty, but simply because he was at the gap between life and death, he saw countless terrible resentments surrounding the girl.

"hiss……"

Zhao Yi covered his chest and squatted down, while quickly closing the gap between life and death, and his heart stopped suddenly.

In this world, there is a type of people who are unpredictable and even more unpredictable, and Qin Li is such a person.

"When you come to someone's house as a guest, you don't even know how to calm down."

"I'm not trying to spy on anything. It's tied to my heart now. I can't just take my heart off before entering a house as a guest, right?"

"what about now?"

"I'm already feeling dizzy due to lack of blood supply. Hurry up and give me the things so I can carry them down."

"Not urgent."

Li Zhuiyuan changed to a rattan chair and sat on A-li's seat, then motioned Zhao Yi to sit on his original seat.

Zhao Yi sat down.

Li Zhuiyuan: “It’s okay.”

Zhao Yi reached out and knocked on his chest, and his heart slowly resumed beating.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Your ability is perfect for pretending to be dead."

Zhao Yi: "Only if I don't meet you guys. You guys like to kill people, touch the corpses and then pour corpse water on them."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Any news about the Yu family?"

Zhao Yi: "I did some investigation, but I didn't get to the bottom of it. But I did find out one thing: there are many big forces on the river, and they have been trying to find out about the Yu family recently. Maybe your family is the only one that didn't make any move.

So I suspect that when we really face the wave from the Yu family, we will just be the initiator.

In other words, we can make reasonable use of other forces' spying on the Yu family and use them as a helper. We just need to be prepared to fish in troubled waters."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Well, you keep watching and make another list of rules."

Zhao Yi: "Don't worry, leave it to me. But do you want to include those two people from your family?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “Not really.”

Zhao Yi: "Listen, this is the essence."

Li Zhuiyuan: "After all, I've been there."

Zhao Yi: "Tsk, no wonder you are so popular with the old lady."

At this time, the door of the east room was opened and Liu Yumei walked out.

They were originally playing cards, but Wang Lian's son was trying to secretly commit suicide by drinking pesticides, but was discovered and stopped in time by his father. Liu Jinxia and Hua Pozi hurriedly accompanied Wang Lian home to persuade him to stop.

Liu Yumei was too lazy to get involved in this kind of thing. She would just listen to them talk about it in detail when they played cards together tomorrow.

After the card game was over, Liu Yumei went back to her room to take a short rest.

Not to mention Zhao Yi, even if the head of the Jiujiang Zhao family came today, according to the old rules, he should wait outside the mansion and wait for the call. Of course, it was impossible for her to wait there just to see Zhao Yi.

I'm out now, after a short rest, and I'm going to the dam to get some fresh air.

When you get older, you can’t sleep too long during the day, otherwise you won’t be able to fall asleep at night.

Zhao Yi stood up and prepared to go downstairs to pay his respects.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Wait a moment, I'll get those books and bring them down for you."

Zhao Yi turned his head and looked at Li Zhuiyuan, with a bitter face, "Are you going to kill me?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "The old lady won't say anything about my affairs."

Zhao Yi: "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know what this means?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you want it?"

"I want."

Li Zhuiyuan walked into the room, came out with a tall pile of books and handed them to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi took them, went downstairs, and when he reached the dam, he put the books on the ground first, then trotted to the old lady.

The old lady had already sat down and Tan Wenbin was making tea for her.

Zhao Yi glanced at Tan Wenbin and thought: You are really busy, taking turns to serve in the Qianqing Palace and the Cining Palace.

Liu Yumei picked up the teacup and glanced at Zhao Yi, who hurriedly prepared to kneel down and kowtow.

In terms of seniority and status, Zhao Yi should indeed behave as a junior. He deliberately chose not to perform the door-to-door ceremony in order to bring the two sides closer.

Liu Yumei: "Alright, stop kowtowing. I, the old lady, don't have anything to reward you with."

Hearing this, Zhao Yi did not force it. He stood up and bent down: "It is a great opportunity to meet you, old lady. If I expect anything else, I am ignorant."

Liu Yumei: "The benefits you just received, are they still insufficient?"

From behind, Chen Lin felt horrified when he saw Zhao Yi almost kneeling down and kowtowing.

Her brother once marveled at the power of the Dragon King's family, but could that old lady make the young master of the Dragon King's family kowtow and pay his respects willingly?
Chen Lin lost his balance and fell backwards.

Yin Meng reached out to help, but Runsheng grabbed her hand.

Lin Shuyou first looked at Run Sheng and Yin Meng's sudden hand-holding in confusion, and then he reacted belatedly and reached out to catch Chen Lin's body.

Chen Lin subconsciously snuggled into Lin Shuyou's arms, grabbing Lin Shuyou's clothes with both hands.

This was not due to any careful consideration, but purely an instinct caused by being overly frightened.

She didn’t know how long it would take for the surprise to come, and now she was truly in the abyss of fear.

Lin Shuyou could feel the girl in his arms trembling.

I wanted to do something to comfort her, but I didn't know how. I reached out to stroke her head, but halfway through I felt it was inappropriate, so I touched her forehead instead.

If you don’t know, you might think it’s testing whether a girl has a fever.

Zhao Yi: "You don't know, this is also the hard-earned money I earned by working like a slave outside."

Liu Yumei: "What kind of hard work fee can be worth the perfect inheritance? If it is publicized, outsiders will probably think that you, Zhao Gui of Jiujiang, have become a vassal of my Qin and Liu families."

Zhao Yi: "If the hard work in the past is not worth it, then there is always money to be paid in the future. You can pay it back slowly and eventually."

Liu Yumei said nothing more. She knew that the perfect inheritance, which was extremely valuable in the eyes of outsiders, was nothing to Xiaoyuan. Didn’t Xiaoyuan also help the officials to make changes in the past?

If Xiaoyuan wanted to give it, then she would give it. She was only responsible for knocking it.

Liu Yumei waved her hand and said, "You young people can have fun on your own."

She was not in a position to talk much about the matter of traveling across the river; nor could she inquire about the situation of the elders in the other party's family, because she was not worthy of the Zhao family from Jiujiang, and they did not have such a deep friendship.

Zhao Yi: "I brought some gifts from my family. They are not expensive things, but rare and thoughtful things."

Liu Yumei closed her eyes.

Zhao Yi: "It's my fault for disturbing your rest."

The gifts were brought all the way here but not distributed because the permission of the real owner was not obtained.

When you come to visit, you can't give gifts to everyone you meet. This is not against the rules. The reason why Zhao Yi gave Chen Lin the jade bracelet was because he knew that Chen Lin was not considered a local yet.

When he heard the amount earlier, he knew that there was not much water left in the thermos, so Zhao Yi reached out and picked up the thermos, intending to change it for another one.

He instinctively walked towards the east room and looked at Tan Wenbin, asking if it was that place.

Tan Wenbin was just about to shake his head, indicating that they couldn't enter there.

The old lady with her eyes closed uttered a soft "hmm".

Zhao Yi had been cheated a lot recently and had a trauma in his heart, but when he thought that if the old lady wanted to kill him, there was really no need to go through the trouble of digging that trap, he took a step forward and walked into the east room.

Soon, Zhao Yi came out with a new thermos.

After putting the thermos on the ground, he took a step back, knelt down, and kowtowed hard, with his forehead hitting the concrete floor, leaving a dent and bleeding on his forehead.

He just saw the tablets in the east room, and he sensed that none of the tablets had any spirit.

The decline of the Qin and Liu families was no secret among the top forces in the martial arts world, but probably no one knew that the Qin and Liu families had declined to the point where they no longer had any spirits.

Last time, Mr. Li asked him half-jokingly whether there were any immortal old people lying in coffins in the Zhao family of Jiujiang. The answer was yes.

The two former Dragon King gates have completely lost the protection of their ancestors except for the contemporary people.

It is naturally very difficult for the old lady to support such a family alone.

Therefore, it is easier to see how outrageous the visiting card containing the proposal sent by the ancestor of the Zhao family was, and how angry it would arouse the old lady.

He was able to live to this day because Uncle Qin chose to let him go because of his recognition, but in the final analysis, it was also because the old lady did not directly order him to die, otherwise it would have been meaningless even if he had stabbed hundreds of holes in his body that night.

The Dragon Kings of all generations were legends who suppressed evil spirits in their respective eras. Even though the tablets of the two Dragon Kings are not spiritual, they are still shocking.

Such a family can rise and fall, or suddenly fall, but if it really ends up being wiped out, it would be truly unacceptable, and Zhao Yi could not accept it either.

The head banged louder and louder.

Ji Ji knocked on Chen Lin's chest, and she buried her face completely in Lin Shuyou's arms. Now she was afraid of this place and didn't even dare to look at Lin Shuyou's face.

Liu Yumei opened her eyes and said, "Okay, the more you act like this, the more I regret not sending A Ting to see you."

Zhao Yi raised his head, his face covered in blood, and smiled:
"Thank you, Madam, for your appreciation."

Then, Zhao Yi said, "After I get off the boat, I will return to the Zhao family and rebuild the family traditions, so that old man will die quickly."

When you need to scheme and deceive each other, you can do so, but there are some things that cannot be done like this.

Liu Yumei: "Since you are still alive, it means I don't care about these things. The fact that you can come here shows that our Xiaoyuan also recognizes you."

Aunt Liu, who was sitting on the dam nearby and eating melon seeds, nodded. She heard another meaning in the old lady's words, which was that it was rare for someone to know that her little Yuan was wandering on the river and still be alive.

Every time she went to send or receive letters and visiting cards, and whenever Ali went out to do something, she would pay attention to what was going on in the martial arts world. Up to now, there has been no news in the martial arts world that Li Zhuiyuan had fled to the river, which shows how well this kid kept the secret.

Zhao Yi said casually: "Madam, I really can't beat him. That guy is not a human being at all."

No matter how many holes there are in a flattery piece, there is no old person who doesn't like others praising his juniors. Besides, what Zhao Yi said was from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Yumei picked up the teacup and handed it to Zhao Yi:

“It’s not convenient to reward you since you are all on the boat and the waves are strong.

I'll just invite you to have a cup of tea. I hope you can follow in the footsteps of your ancestors and carry on Zhao Wuyang's legacy."

"Thank you, madam."

Zhao Yi took the tea and drank it respectfully.

The old lady waved her hand and Zhao Yi stood up and left.

After walking down the dam and not far away, he let out a soft whistle towards the path ahead.

It can be said that he did not give anything, but in fact he did give something. The affirmation from the true superior made Zhao Yi open-minded, and the gap between life and death in his heart was widened and further integrated with his heart.

With the old lady's means, she could completely avoid cause and effect and suppress her own mood, but she didn't do that. Instead, she raised her hand.

She figured out what the most important thing for her growth and development in the gap between life and death was.

Look at them. Even though they live in the countryside and live a life no different from ordinary people, they still show such courage. Then look at those short-sighted old guys in my own family. It's really hard to compare them.

Aunt Liu said, "Don't leave in a hurry, stay for dinner."

Zhao Yi turned around immediately, the seriousness on his face disappeared, and he said with a smile: "One meal is not enough, I have to eat several meals."

Aunt Liu nodded: "Okay, let Mengmeng do it for you."

Zhao Yi: “…”

There were voices in front of him. Zhao Yi looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man looking curiously at the Liang sisters and Old Man Tian sitting in the wheelchair.

Zhao Yi asked Aunt Liu: "Who is that?"

Aunt Liu: "He is the owner here."

"Oh, you're Brother Xiaoyuan's great grandfather?"

"Ah."

Of course, Zhao Yi would not be as ignorant as Chen Lin and think that the old man was the strongest person here.

Truly powerful beings often follow the tacit understanding that kings do not meet each other.

His house can become the Dragon King's residence, and can also make the man surnamed Li willingly recognize him as his grandfather.

Zhao Yi's eyes narrowed: This old man must be blessed with great fortune!

Li Sanjiang: "I say, what do you do?"

Old Man Tian: "We are..."

He didn't know how to introduce himself for a moment. Saying that he was visiting relatives seemed too high-class.

Li Sanjiang looked at the sisters, then at Old Man Tian. When he heard the other party's foreign accent, he said "Oh" and said, "Are you magicians?"

There are all these big and small bags of stuff placed here, young sisters and a disabled old man. These days, many small acrobatic troupes have this kind of configuration.

Zhao Yi came over and said, "Yes, we are an acrobatic troupe. Lao Tian, ​​perform for our uncle."

Old man Tian didn't understand what was going on, but he still did as the young master told him. He was good at playing with knives, so he simply reached out and picked up a handful of stones on the ground, and began to throw and catch them continuously. The stones flew in the air so fast that afterimages appeared.

Zhao Yi looked at the Liang sisters again and said, "Don't just stand there, show me your skills!"

The two sisters looked at each other and both thought their leader was crazy.

Zhao Yi said in a deep voice: "Quick, listen!"

The two sisters had to hold their breath, one started to do some somersaults, and the other bent down and stuck her head out from between her legs.

Li Sanjiang: "Wow, awesome, awesome!"

Zhao Yi: "Uncle, do you believe it now?"

Li Sanjiang nodded: "I believe it, you are the leader of this acrobatic troupe, right?"

Zhao Yi: "Yes, we are from the Jiujiang Zhao Acrobatic Troupe, and I am the young master."

Li Sanjiang: "It's head-to-head. Usually, acrobatic troupes have a boss who sounds a bit effeminate."

Zhao Yi: "Hehehe...yes, that's right."

Li Sanjiang: "Hey, this is our pickup truck, why are you here?"

Zhao Yi: "We met Xiaoyuan, oh, Li Zhuiyuan, in another place. He invited us to perform in Nantong, so here we are."

Li Sanjiang: "Oh, is he Xiao Yuanhou's friend?"

Zhao Yi: "Yes, he is a very good friend. If you don't believe me, you can go ask him."

Li Sanjiang: "How could I not believe it? Our Xiaoyuan Hou is really good at making friends."

Moreover, every time Xiao Yuanhou brought a friend home, he would turn him into a top-notch mule.

Li Sanjiang: "Have you eaten?"

Zhao Yi: “No.”

Li Sanjiang: "Then let's eat together later. I'll ask Ting Hou to prepare some more dishes."

Zhao Yi: "That's so embarrassing."

Li Sanjiang waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I have work to do this afternoon."

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Work?"

Li Sanjiang: "There is a funeral this afternoon, so I won't invite any other performance groups. You guys will perform instead. Let me tell you, this host is very generous and you can make a lot of money!"

Seeing that these people all looked somewhat stunned, Li Sanjiang was puzzled and said:
"What, you don't want to?"

"Snapped!"

Zhao Yi slapped his thigh suddenly and said in surprise:
"This is great news. As soon as I get here, I'll have work to do and money to earn. Uncle, you're really my uncle!"
