Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 91

"This is it."

Li Zhuiyuan pointed forward.

It was a fenced-off construction site, and it looked like work had been stopped for quite some time.

There is a security booth at the gate of the construction site. Outside the booth, two elderly security guards are sitting on benches, each holding a palm-leaf fan, enjoying the cool air.

"Brother Binbin."

Tan Wenbin took a step forward and folded his hands in front of his chest:

"The end will be in ~"

Li Zhuiyuan pointed at the security booth and said, "Go and shout."

"I have received your order~"

Tan Wenbin put down the backpack containing the equipment, then held up one hand to the sky and the other hand to the ground, and walked away with resonant steps.

The other three sat down on the side of the road.

Yin Meng took out a bag of pumpkin pie from her backpack and handed it to Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't dare to answer, but asked: "You did it."

Yin Meng shook her head: "It was made by the chef in the cafeteria."

Li Zhuiyuan picked up one and took a bite. Although it was a little cold and the taste was a little worse, it was still delicious.

Yin Meng took two more for herself, and then placed the entire remaining bag in front of Runsheng.

Runsheng nodded, took out the iron box, pulled out a thick incense stick from it, lit it, and started eating.

He was not actually hungry, as he had just had dinner when he came out, but he knew that this was the time for preparations before the battle.

From the northwest corner of the construction site, there was a "clang clang" sound. Someone climbed in and was throwing steel bars out. There happened to be a tricycle parked outside.

The noise was quite loud. Li Zhuiyuan could hear it even though he was sitting so far away. The people at the security booth on the construction site must have also noticed it.

But the two security guards continued chatting while smoking the cigarette handed to them by Tan Wenbin, and had no intention of intervening at all.

After all, I'm old and only earn so little salary, so there's no need to work so hard.

At this time, a minibus drove over, slowed down, and headed towards the gate where the security booth was located.

The two security guards immediately stood up, threw away their cigarettes, and after a conversation, the minibus drove into the gate.

After finding out the news, Tan Wenbin trotted back. Runsheng moved his seat so that Tan Wenbin sat right between him and Xiaoyuan.

Yin Meng took out a bottle of water from her bag, unscrewed the cap and handed it over.

Tan Wenbin took a sip of water, then took a piece of pumpkin pie from the bag in front of Runsheng and took a bite, then said:

"Brother Xiaoyuan, the death we are looking for should be here. This construction site has been closed for several months. During the previous construction period, strange things have been happening and accidents have occurred frequently. Later, one time, for some reason, a large group of snakes emerged and crawled into the shed where the workers were resting on the construction site, biting many people. Since then, the construction has been completely stopped until now.

Through the window of the minibus that just entered, I saw that there were some Taoist priests and monks inside. They must have been hired by the big boss of the developer to exorcise evil spirits.

Alas, if I had known earlier, I should have contacted the boss of Renda in advance. He would suffer huge losses if the construction was suspended. As long as I could solve the problem, he would definitely be willing to pay us a high price.

Unfortunately, someone else got there first. "

Li Zhuiyuan stood up and said, "Then let's go and see how our colleagues perform."

The four packed up their things. They found a gang of thieves in the northwest corner who had not left yet. The main gate was too conspicuous, so the four of them went around and climbed in through the south gate.

Most areas of the construction site were dark, with only one corner in the middle having lights on, and you could see the flickering candle flames in the distance.

The central foundation area was flooded, forming a pond of unknown depth.

There were two altar tables on each side. Although the monks and Taoists came in a minibus, they were clearly divided at this time, with three monks and three Taoists each responsible for their own table.

The monks are chanting scriptures, looking solemn and dignified; the Taoists are dancing with swords, looking ethereal and ethereal.

There was a man standing in the middle, wearing a blue vest and having a slicked-back hair. He should be the one responsible for inviting the masters.

At this moment, the man with the slicked-back hair was smoking a cigarette. The cigarette butt was shaking very frequently, and it was obvious that he was also holding on.

The four people hid nearby, under the returning home net, and listened for quite a while. Then the Taoist priest who was dancing with swords started chanting sutras, and the monk who was chanting sutras began to beat gongs around the table.

Tan Wenbin joked, "Why does this colleague look like he was just invited from the funeral team?"

At this moment, everyone knew that these masters were just filling in the gaps.

The more complicated the preliminary rituals are and the longer the preparations take, the more of a performance they become.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, a sound was heard in the pond.

The masters immediately stopped their performances, and the man with the slicked-back hair dropped the cigarettes in his hands to the ground.

Tan Wenbin immediately grabbed the Luosheng umbrella sticker and moved towards Li Zhuiyuan to protect him: "Did he fall out?"

Runsheng: "Why is it tasteless?"

Li Zhuiyuan said: "Someone on the other side of the pond deliberately threw something in there. They must be the thieves who came in to steal the steel bars tonight. They are playing a trick on us."

The boy had good hearing and he heard laughter from the other side of the pond. There should be three people.

He just stole things and didn't leave after stealing them. He actually stayed to watch the fun.

If it were any other place it would be fine, but there are real dead bodies here, and they are zombies that are good at bewitching people's minds. If that thing really appears, you may not be able to find the right direction if you want to escape.

The people over there naturally had no idea that someone was playing tricks on them. They just thought that the dirty stuff was really reacting, and they were so scared that they immediately took countermeasures.

The monks brought out black dog blood, and there was more than enough of it, and poured basin after basin of it into the pond.

Runsheng: “Pig blood.”

It was already ridiculous enough that the monk splashed black dog blood, but it turned out that the inferior blood used was pig blood.

But what they did made Li Zhuiyuan and the others feel embarrassed to say anything for a moment.

After all, there is one in my hometown too. What kind of blood is splashed during the ritual depends on what kind of meat was eaten in the previous two days.

The Taoists set some kind of leather on fire and threw something black and hairy into it.

Runsheng: "Donkey skin."

Tan Wenbin: "The thing that was just thrown in was a black donkey hoof?"

Then, the Taoist priests and monks began to throw the instruments and talismans on the altar into the pond one by one, and they shouted loudly after each one they threw:
"Yizhen."

"To subtract!"

In the end, even the offering plates on the table were thrown in.

Tan Wenbin: "I told you, the boss is willing to pay, they must have made a lot of money on this order, otherwise they wouldn't be willing to throw away their food and food."

Yin Meng: "When waiting for death to come out, what's the difference between this and surrendering your gun in advance?"

Runsheng: "It's useless to hold these things in your hands. You can run faster if you throw them all away."

Li Zhuiyuan looked up and saw a dark cloud covering the moon. A faint gray gas that ordinary people could not see also appeared in his field of vision.

Runsheng also noticed something. He sniffed hard and said dissatisfiedly, "Too many miscellaneous things were burned. The smell is so messy."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Be prepared, it's coming out soon."

The three of them immediately became alert.

Even though they had known the corpse demon's strength beforehand and knew it wasn't outrageous, a lion would still use all its strength to fight a rabbit, so no one dared to take it lightly.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Hold the pill."

Yin Meng took out three red pills from her backpack and handed them to the other two. Except for Li Zhuiyuan, everyone put the red pill in their mouths.

The red pill is not a panacea; it tastes like a combination of gall and mustard.

The function is that when you feel your consciousness is becoming blurred, you bite it instinctively, and then force yourself to wake up through physiological reactions.

This thing was recorded in "Records of the Right Path to Subdue Demons", but it only mentioned the method and did not set the raw materials. Perhaps Wei Zhengdao also knew that people in different places have different tastes.

For example, Li Zhuiyuan originally wanted to add Houttuynia cordata, but the reason he didn't do so was that Yin Meng could eat the cold-mixed Houttuynia cordata as a snack.

"Powder."

Tan Wenbin took out three powder capsules from his pocket and handed them to the other two. They could hold them in their hands and crush them when needed to sprinkle powder to break the illusion. If they found that their companions were confused, they could just throw them in his face.

In the past, Li Zhuiyuan had a special fan, and the grooves of the fan were used to hold various kinds of powders, but now he doesn't need those things much.

After the soft power increased, some auxiliary items gradually lost their functions. As long as Li Zhuiyuan was here, Runsheng and the other two could carry fewer things and just focus on fighting against the dead.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at the three thieves who were still watching the show on the other side, then glanced at the six masters under the lights on this side, and said in a very calm tone:
“Wait for the fish to bite first.”

The three of them nodded collectively.

Waiting for death will attack the other people above first, and then they will take the opportunity to fish in the net.

Although this is a bit cruel, it is the safest way.

If you want to make a living in this field without any professional skills, it is normal for your boat to capsize; if a thief stays to watch the fun after stealing things, it is what he deserves if something happens.

The only innocent one was the guy with the slicked-back hair, but it didn’t matter… I didn’t take his money anyway.

When Tan Wenbin brought up this issue earlier, Li Zhuiyuan deliberately ignored the question. He believed that if he took money from others to help them avoid disaster, he would inevitably be subject to restrictions.

It’s not like now, everyone except me is bait.

"Oh, fire, fire, fire!"

A monk suddenly took off his robes like crazy, then ran all the way and jumped straight into the pond in front.

This scene shocked the other five masters.

The three Taoists immediately looked at the remaining two monks with questioning eyes, probably wanting to confirm whether this was a temporary act added by you guys, in order to get an extra red envelope?
The two monks looked at each other in bewilderment, because there was really no such plan.

"Ah, snake, snake, snake!"

A Taoist priest fell to the ground, holding his throat with both hands, and kicking his legs wildly.

At once, the two monks began to look for something to pull their fellow disciple who had fallen into the pond, while the two Taoists tried to pry open the other Taoist's hands.

The man with the slicked-back hair was already shaking and he kept backing away, wanting to escape.

In fact, the monks and Taoists were also very panicked, but at this time their eagerness to save their companions temporarily suppressed the fear that was rising rapidly in their hearts.

Finally, the monk was pulled up by his companions before he drowned; and the Taoist priest had his hands pried apart by his two companions before he strangled himself to death.

The six masters were all in a state of embarrassment, and they all knew that this was not the script. But if they just ran away in disgrace, it would be difficult to get the balance.

At this moment, the man with the slicked-back hair suddenly shouted, and then he seemed to be shaken. He picked up an iron pipe on the ground and swung it directly at the monks and Taoists.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

But these were just minor fights, and they killed and still didn't come out.

"Pfft!"

On the other side, someone fell into the water.

The thieves were more loyal, or they were probably not aware of the specific situation here. When they saw one of their companions fall down, the other two immediately jumped down to pull him out.

Finally, Li Zhuiyuan found that the gray mist in front of his eyes turned black.

Runsheng also smelled the authentic and strong stench of a dead body.

As a head floated to the surface of the water, everything, like the images in a video room, was fast-forwarded, and the pot of water finally boiled.

All the monks and Taoists here, like the man with the slicked-back hair, wrestled with each other and soon had bloody heads. Even the one lying on the ground held the other's legs with his hands and bit them hard.

Li Zhuiyuan: “Hook up!”

The four of them took off the Homecoming Nets on their bodies. Tan Wenbin was responsible for collecting the nets again. At the same time, he took out the ink box and pressed his fingers, re-stamping it while silently reciting the formula.

Runsheng held up the seven-star hook, swung it along, opened all seven sections, and hooked it directly towards the head in the middle of the pond.

After hooking the last section, Runsheng turned his hands over and locked the top of the seven-star hook. Then, Runsheng used all his strength and began to pull back.

There were violent waves on the water surface and a strong smell of blood.

This was the first thief to fall, and now his stomach has been ripped open.

"what!!!"

A piercing scream came from the dead, with a hint of bewitchment.

Runsheng acted decisively, bit the red pill in his mouth, and then his whole body was shocked, and the strong feeling of nausea triggered his greater potential.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The dead was pulled by him and kept coming towards this side.

Yin Meng looked painful, but still persisted.

Liu Yumei said that she was a stupid girl and was naturally insensitive, which was a disadvantage, but sometimes, it was also an advantage.

When Run Sheng fell to the ground, Yin Meng pulled out the exorcism whip and whipped him.

Every time the whip falls, the screams of the dead will become sharper, and everyone's pain will become more intensified, but this is the eagle training, whoever endures it, wins.

When the scream started, Tan Wenbin stood up on tiptoe, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a weird smile;

Without hesitation, he crushed the powder capsule and slapped it on his face while biting the red pill in his mouth. Then:

"vomit!"

After spitting out a large mouthful, the corners of his mouth curled up again, revealing a weird smile. When the disgusting taste in his mouth continued to sink into his stomach, he began to vomit again.

It is in a dynamic stage of being influenced, breaking the influence, and being influenced and breaking the influence again.

But even so, his hands did not stop moving. His mouth was busy with laughing and vomiting, and he could not recite the mantra.

But he relied on his muscle memory to re-apply new red mud to the homecoming net.

Then, vomiting and laughing, he staggered to the edge of the pond as if he had a cramp, and used his last strength and clarity to throw the net in his hand.

The Homecoming Net trapped him and Tan Wenbin finally couldn't hold on any longer. The only thing he could do in the end was to fall backwards and use his weight to press the other end of the net as a stake.

Li Zhuiyuan glanced at Tan Wenbin, who was lying on the ground with foam at the mouth and a pink face, and did nothing.

He could take action to relieve Tan Wenbin's pain, but he could sense that the corpse demon had made one last attempt, so he had to wait until that moment to take action, so that he could complete the "salvage" quickly and neatly.

The corpse demon has reached the shore.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Resurrect!"

"Hey!"

Runsheng squatted down, turned his body backward, placed the pole of the seven-star hook on his shoulder, and then swung it forward with all his strength.

The corpse demon was pulled out of the water like a big fish and landed in mid-air above the shore.

But at this moment, the corpse demon's eyes turned green, and it opened its mouth, and a black snake emerged from its mouth.

There was a piece missing from the black snake's forehead and blood was dripping from it, but it still exuded a dangerous aura.

Then, the snake's head suddenly swelled up, as if gathering strength to attack, but before it was about to open its mouth, Li Zhuiyuan walked in front of Runsheng.

Fear was revealed in the black snake's eyes. Although it did not have the memory of that spiritual thought, it could share its perception.

The young man in front of me is scary.

As a result, the corpse demon's eyes, which had just turned green, began to flicker.

Li Zhuiyuan pressed a seal with his left hand, drew a spell on his right arm, then slid it down to the back of his right hand. He pointed his right thumb directly at the swollen snake head.

"town!"

The snake head opened its mouth, but the green mist in its mouth did not escape. Instead, it retreated back, and the black snake itself was forced back into the corpse's mouth.

Green mist erupted within the corpse monster's body, with wisps of mist overflowing from its eyes, ears, mouth and nose. At the same time, green ghost fire rose up, illuminating its body and making it transparent.

It was like the effect of a shadow play, and one could see countless small snakes struggling frantically inside the corpse monster's body.

"Hey!"

Runsheng made another effort.

"boom!"

The corpse demon was smashed heavily onto the shore.

Yin Meng rolled sideways and stretched out the exorcism whip in his hand again, wrapping it around the corpse demon's neck.

The corpse demon roared and tried to stand up, but as soon as he stood up, he was pulled down again.

Runsheng dropped the Seven-Star Hook, picked up the Yellow River Shovel, and as the corpse fell to the ground, he chopped it hard on the neck!
"puff!"

The sharp Yellow River shovel only pierced its neck but failed to chop off its head.

The corpse demon struggled to get up again, but Yin Meng continued to tighten the exorcism whip while sliding sideways, clamping the corpse demon's abdomen with one foot below and the other above, forcing the corpse demon's body, which had just risen halfway, to fall again.

This was a very dangerous move, mainly to cooperate with Runsheng's next shovel. If Runsheng failed to solve it, Yin Meng, who was close to him, would be in great danger.

Runsheng gritted his teeth and the Yellow River shovel fell again.

"puff!"

The corpse demon's head was finally chopped off, separating its head from its body.

But the falling head was rolling towards Yin Meng.

Yin Meng, who was lying on the ground, could even clearly see the snake body moving constantly in the eye sockets and mouth of its head.

At this critical moment, a white and tender hand reached out, grabbed the head and lifted it up.

Yin Meng raised her eyes and looked at the young man standing in front of her.

Li Zhuiyuan looked down at her and said, "Next time, don't use life-threatening tactics unless you have no other choice."

"Fizz!"

A black snake with torn skin and flesh and emitting a burnt smell quickly emerged from the head held in the boy's hand and flew straight into the boy's face.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't even look at it, he just snapped his fingers with his left hand.

"Snapped!"

The black snake's body froze immediately.

Li Zhuiyuan continued to look at Yin Meng and said, "If I hadn't suppressed what it was about to vomit and burned most of the small snakes in its body, any snake that came out could have bitten you and poisoned you when you approached just now."

As he spoke, the young man reached out and grabbed the snake's body that was frozen there. Faintly, his vision seemed to be distorted and folded there, as if an invisible flame was burning in the young man's palm.

The already charred snake body began to crack at this moment, the snake flesh separated, and finally turned into ashes and fell down.

Li Zhuiyuan patted the dust off his hands, but they still felt slippery like snake oil.

I could only turn around, find a pile of sand, grab a handful of sand and rub it in my hands.

On the other side, the headless corpse had begun to turn into pus.

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the side and asked Runsheng, "Is he a boy or a girl?"

His face was too pale, his body was too bloated, and he was wearing a gown of discolored color, so it was hard to tell his gender at birth.

"I don't know, let me take a look."

As Runsheng spoke, he picked up the Yellow River shovel and dug down.

"Forget it, no need."

"okay."

Li Zhuiyuan walked to Tan Wenbin, tapped Tan Wenbin's forehead three times with his knuckles, then closed his eyes and covered Tan Wenbin's face with his palm.

After a few breaths, Li Zhuiyuan suddenly raised his hand upwards, and Tan Wenbin opened his eyes and raised his neck.

"Crack!"

"Ah... oh..."

Tan Wenbin woke up, but he was holding his neck with his hands.

Li Zhuiyuan: "What's wrong?"

"Brother Xiaoyuan, I sprained my neck. It hurts."

Tan Wenbin sat up, but his head was still tilted to one side, as if he had a stiff neck from sleeping.

Runsheng glanced at him: "The only work-related injury."

Tan Wenbin: "Who among you knows how to straighten bones?"

Runsheng: "I'll do it."

"Get out of here. Mengmeng, can you?"

"I only know how to break my own neck, I don't dare to break other people's."

Tan Wenbin had no choice but to look at Li Zhuiyuan for help.

"Brother Binbin, go to the infirmary to see a doctor when you return to school."

"Hey, okay."

Li Zhuiyuan stood by the pond and looked down.

Runsheng said, "Xiaoyuan, I'll go down and feel around to see if there's anything."

"Brother Runsheng, the water is dirty."

Not only was there a floating corpse above, but inside was also the corpse demon's original hiding place.

"It's not dirty, it's okay."

Runsheng took off his shirt and pants, then took a run-up and jumped in.

This short action allowed Li Zhuiyuan to vaguely see the shadow of Uncle Qin when he jumped into the river.

"Yin Meng, pack up the equipment. Brother Binbin, go check on those people."

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the "dead body" and could no longer see the dead body. There was only a pool of pus and a piece of clothing.

He found an iron rod and poked around in the clothes. He found a lot of long, black, crispy things in the clothes. They broke apart when the iron rod touched them. They should be the small snakes that had died in the body.

If the green mist had really been allowed to spray out along with the poisonous snakes in the body, the situation would have been very difficult to resolve.

Apart from that, all that was seen was a piece of black stone. Judging from its shape, it should have been a jade pendant, but it had already been soaked in corpse qi and had become worthless.

Li Zhuiyuan used a little force and knocked it, and the jade shattered. The inside was also black and powdery.

Fortunately, Li Zhuiyuan didn't have much hope for this. Sometimes touching corpses was just a habit, just like fishing for the dead, he enjoyed the process.

Tan Wenbin walked around and came back: "Brother Xiaoyuan, those monks and Taoist priests are now unconscious and seriously injured, but they only broke their arms and legs, and their lives are not in danger. But over there, I just saw a thief who must have fallen on the steel bars when he was escaping. The steel bars were so thick that they pierced his chest directly. He should be dead."

"Did he see you?"

"No, no, his face wasn't facing me."

There was a noise underwater, and Runsheng surfaced and came ashore, holding an incense burner in his hand.

"Xiao Yuan, there's a mess down there. There must have been a water burial there, but it got dug up. I think this thing might be valuable. Take a look."

Li Zhuiyuan took the incense burner. It was very small, about the size of a palm, but very heavy.

The base is a turtle, and there is a stele in the middle of the incense burner.

Li Zhuiyuan: "This is used for divination and fortune-telling. Light some incense and ask about good and bad luck."

Runsheng scratched his head: "That's useless to you, Xiaoyuan."

"It's useful. Next time when you come across a fork in the road and don't know which way to go, you can light a stick of incense and ask it. If you go to a place like a water burial underground palace, you can also rely on it to point the way."

Tan Wenbin asked: "What's the difference between that and flipping a coin?"

"It should be used together with the compass, the method of seeking the Yin and asking for directions, and the destiny calculation method."

Tan Wenbin blinked and said, "It would be nice if this was taught in advanced math class."

"Brother Runsheng, put it away. Take it with you when you go out as a team next time."

"it is good."

Runsheng put on his clothes and reached out to take the incense burner.

"Wait a minute, there are words underneath." Li Zhuiyuan lifted up the incense burner again. It had been soaked in water before, so it was dark in color and could not be seen. Now that it had dried a bit, white marks of knife carving appeared.

Tan Wenbin turned on the flashlight and shone it over to help.

Li Zhuiyuan observed carefully and found that there was a very simple ghost face drawn on it. After reading the line of words below, Li Zhuiyuan determined that this ghost face should be a human face with a nose and eyes.

The following sentence is: "This is Ye Dui's true appearance."

Tan Wenbin read the words aloud, and then asked in confusion: "Why does this sound so much like a child's tone?"

These words are carved on the base, which is the turtle's belly, just like primary school students like to write the names of their deskmates or friends on some illustrations.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Maybe it was just children playing around."

"Who is Ye Dui?"

"Do you know Liu Bowen?"

"Yes, he is Lao Zhu's adviser."

"A similar character, but he retired before Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor."

Tan Wenbin pointed at the pus on the ground and said in disbelief: "Is it him?"

"Definitely not. Even if a person like that turns into a dead body, it won't be so easy to deal with. Although the gender of the dead body couldn't be seen clearly, he should have been a middle-aged man when he died, which doesn't match Ye Dui.

Besides, this stove is a treasure, and it will be the same no matter who gets it."

Li Zhuiyuan handed the incense burner to Runsheng, who put it in his backpack.

Tan Wenbin asked Runsheng curiously, "Is there nothing else down there?"

"It's gone." Runsheng pointed to the pond, "You can go down and take another look."

"I'm not going down." Tan Wenbin shook his head, then, "Hiss... it hurts."

Li Zhuiyuan explained: "Maybe the things were taken away by the workers when it was first dug. Okay, let's go back."

The four of them followed the original route out of the construction site, and when they went around to the entrance of the construction site, they found that the two security guards were staying in the security booth.

The tricycle that was originally parked on the roadside in the northwest corner was also gone, and steel bars were scattered all over the ground. It must have been the last thief who found it and rode away in a hurry.

"Brother Binbin."

"clear."

Tan Wenbin picked up a brick and wanted to throw it over to remind them to go out and save people. However, when the brick hit the security booth, the two security guards pushed open the door and ran out of the construction site screaming.

They must have heard some noise coming from the construction site before and were in a state of nervous tension. Now they didn't even want to open the gate.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, should I find a pay phone to call the police now?"

"Well, go find a phone booth over there and call your dad."

"My dad doesn't care about this area..."

"Your dad is really in charge of this now."

After finding a telephone booth and making the call, the four of them walked a distance before they got a taxi. Because there was not enough space for all their stuff, Li Zhuiyuan and Tan Wenbin took the first one, and Yin Meng and Runsheng took the next one.

Looking at the first taxi leaving, Yin Meng said, "We should buy a pickup truck."

Runsheng nodded: "Next time I will ride the tricycle that I use to buy vegetables from the cafeteria."

"This is the big city of Jinling, and tricycles are too slow."

“No matter how far away the place is, you can get there by pedaling for a while.”

Yin Meng took a few deep breaths and a smile appeared on her face. She tilted her neck back, relaxed her shoulders, and felt the physical and mental comfort.

"What a refreshing feeling, Runsheng, do you have it?"

Runsheng: "Just like the foreigners on TV who like extreme sports, it's addictive, even if you try to get yourself killed."

"Xiaoyuan just taught me a lesson."

"Well, you really shouldn't have gotten so close to Death so early."

"My brain got hot and I used my moves instinctively."

"Just be careful next time. It's not like you made a mistake."

"Tell me if I'm mean, I still prefer Xiaoyuan's previous coldness. He speaks much more softly now, which makes me nervous."

"But Xiaoyuan doesn't like his cold appearance."

"Runsheng, I have a feeling that Xiaoyuan is deliberately waiting for us to grow up."

"Actually, no, Xiaoyuan is waiting for him to grow up."

……

After getting on the bus, Li Zhuiyuan closed his eyes and slept for a while. When he woke up, he was already at the school gate.

They walked into the campus and returned to the dormitory. The washbasin was empty in the middle of the night, so they took a shower.

As basin after basin of cold water was poured over his body, Li Zhuiyuan not only felt the pleasure, but also sensed a sense of relaxation and joy from the bottom of his heart.

Although it was very faint and would disappear after a while, it was real. After taking a shower and returning to his bed in the dormitory, Tan Wenbin tossed and turned, waving his arms and smiling from time to time.

"Brother Binbin, if you don't sleep now, it will be dawn soon."

"Brother Xiaoyuan, I'm so excited. My mind is full of images of the construction site. I can't sleep."

"You have military training tomorrow."

"It's okay. Lin Shuyou won't be able to leave the hospital tomorrow, so I can continue to take leave to stay with him. By the way, Brother Xiaoyuan, I saw you when I was unconscious."

"Ok?"

"I saw you press down a large snake with your thumb, and then you caught the snake and burned it to ashes."

As he spoke, Tan Wenbin clapped his hands: "Really, this clapping action afterwards is amazing!"

"Did you see the fire?"

“I saw it. Black fire.”

"Then you are going to go to the dark."

"I went to hell? I thought I was semi-conscious and couldn't move my body. If I had known, I would have gotten up and helped you catch the snake."

"If you come over here, you might get burned too."

"Uh... that's a good thing."

Li Zhuiyuan didn't continue the conversation, but closed his eyes for a while.

He got up early at dawn. Even if the time in the car was counted, he didn't rest for long. After packing his things into his schoolbag, he left the dormitory.

As soon as Aunt Liu got up and opened the door, she saw the young man pushing open the courtyard gate and walking in.

"Xiaoyuan, you're coming earlier and earlier."

"Good morning, Aunt Liu."

"I haven't started making breakfast yet, what do you want to eat?"

"I also can."

"Then wait a minute. I'll comb your grandmother Liu's hair first and then cook for you."

"Okay, no rush, I'm not very hungry."

Li Zhuiyuan walked into the living room and sat down on a chair.

Liu Yumei sat with her back to him. Aunt Liu walked behind her and picked up the comb.

Not long after she started combing her hair, A'li, wearing white silk pajamas, came down from upstairs.

Liu Yumei could only say: "Just comb it twice casually."

"Yeah, I know." Aunt Liu quickened her movements.

"Okay, that's it." Liu Yumei turned sideways and waved to A'li, "A'li, come here, come to grandma."

A'li looked at Li Zhuiyuan, and Li Zhuiyuan smiled at her.

The girl walked over and sat down next to her grandmother, and Liu Yumei personally dressed her up.

Li Zhuiyuan continued to sit there quietly and watch. A'li raised her hand and wanted to play chess, and Li Zhuiyuan took it.

But when the boy habitually wanted to start the second and third sets at the same time, the girl did not make a move.

Liu Yumei glanced at the boy and asked in confusion, "What happened? Did you set fire again last night?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "No, I went to the construction site."

"Your grandfather didn't send you living expenses, so is it necessary for you to work on the construction site to earn money?"

"I have."

After dressing up A'li, Liu Yumei had a satisfied look on her face.

Over the years, her greatest joy every day is to dress up her granddaughter, and her second greatest joy is to design new clothes for her granddaughter.

"It's breakfast."

The three of them came to the dining table and sat down.

Aunt Liu brought breakfast with a smile on her face.

In the past, if A'li didn't dress up well to meet the boy, the old lady would be unhappy and would nag her about a lot of things about "decency". Now, the old lady seemed to be used to it.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't have a good appetite. Before Liu Yumei put down her chopsticks and could say "Let's talk in the study after dinner", Li Zhuiyuan also put down his chopsticks.

The old man and the young man walked into the study.

Li Zhuiyuan opened his schoolbag and took out the complete version of "Liu's Qi-Watching Secret" that he had memorized.

Liu Yumei took a look at the thickness and sighed silently in her heart.

To be honest, she was a little tired after translating two volumes in the past two days. On the one hand, it was inevitable that she lacked energy due to her age, and on the other hand, the purpose of doing this work was to provide a better learning path for future generations.

As a result, the successor she is about to become is still so young, and the skills are provided to her by others. This means that the things she is doing now will most likely never be used by anyone in her lifetime.

People always tend to lose patience with the invisible future.

Li Zhuiyuan took out the advanced version of "Qin's Method of Watching Dragons" and handed it over.

Liu Yumei was slightly stunned. Although she had been shocked before, she was still surprised when facing a similar situation again.

I flipped through the book again and confirmed that it was the whole book. Then I looked at the fatigue between the boy's brows and felt comforted and distressed at the same time:
"Thank you for your hard work, kid."

"Grandma, this is what I should do."

"Staying up late is bad for your health. If you stay up late and do something bad, it will easily damage your health."

"It's not hard."

Li Zhuiyuan knew that Liu Yumei mistakenly thought that he had stayed up late last night to write these.

"Not hard? Why is the Qin Family Dragon Watching Method easier?"

"Well, after reading the Liu Family's Qi-Observing Technique, the Qin Family's Flood-Observing Technique will be easy."

"Hehehehe..."

Liu Yumei covered her mouth and laughed.

After a long while, she calmed down and said, "I told that old man at the beginning that the things in his Qin family were very crude and simple. Look, it's true."

Li Zhuiyuan smiled and didn't respond.

"Okay, go up and find A-Li."

"Okay, grandma."

Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the study and went upstairs.

Aunt Liu came in with a fruit plate. Seeing that the old lady was the only one left, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I say, why is the progress of the class getting faster and faster?"

"I'm in a good mood today, so I won't pinch you, you bitch."

"What's wrong? Tell me so I can have some fun too."

Liu Yumei handed the "Qin's Method of Watching Dragons" to Aunt Liu, who glanced through it and asked in surprise, "Xiaoyuan finished writing it right away?"

Then, Aunt Liu added: "This is much faster than reading our "Liu's Qi-Watching Secret"."

"Okay, stop telling lies to make me happy. These two books from the Qin and Liu families are actually from the same source. Once you have read through one, it will be easier to get twice the result with half the effort when you read the second one.

It would be the same if he looked at the Qin family first and then the Liu family.

That guy didn’t lie, but he deliberately made up the truth to make me happy.”

"Look, you get happy when people say that, laughing 'hehehe'. I heard it when I was cutting fruit outside the house, but when I say the same thing, you blame me.

Okay, I finally understand. A child born in this family is still a child born in this family. No matter how close they are, they can never be closer than the direct descendant. "

"If you have the ability, can you give me a few days to improve my understanding of these two books?"

"Humph, I don't have the ability, let alone the time. How can I compare with others? I am a direct descendant of yours, and maybe I will be the direct descendant in the future.

Let it go. When the rules at home are strict, with his status, Ali and I have to kowtow and call him "young master" when we meet him."

"What's the point of talking about direct heir or not? It's still too early. Even if we want to talk about it, it will take a few more years."

Aunt Liu deliberately leaned towards Liu Yumei, gently rubbed her, and stroked the old lady's arm with her hand while smiling:

"Listen, this is so soft now.

You looked down on him at first and said you wanted to marry a dragon from another country to be your son-in-law, fearing that the Qin and Liu families' foundations would be changed.

Even if he doesn't want to be his son-in-law now, won't the property of the Qin and Liu families still be his?"

"Okay, stop being naughty. When Ali comes back tomorrow, I'll give this book to him. Although I've already learned it, if he reads it more deeply and gains a deeper understanding, he will improve in all aspects."

"Our Ali is the one who sees things clearly. When we were at Uncle Li's house a year ago, he asked Xiaoyuan if he minded the child's surname."

Liu Yumei pricked up her ears and listened.

Aunt Liu deliberately stopped talking, put away the coffee table, and said to herself:

"Okay, I won't be naughty anymore. I'm really afraid that you will get angry and punish me with family rules."

"Begging for a beating!"

Li Zhuiyuan and A'li came to the rooftop terrace and sat down on rattan chairs.

The boy started out talking about what happened last night, and as he was talking, he fell asleep with the early morning sun covering his body and the special peace of mind he felt every time he was with the girl.

The main reason was that things had happened for several nights in a row, and due to lack of sleep and exhaustion, his body was already tired.

Ahri was lying on her side beside him, her hand supporting her chin, staring intently at the sleeping boy.

The girl knew that the boy had no emotions in his heart, but he always showed them very much in front of her.

Because she was timid and didn't dare to go out, he moved the world into her room.

Halfway through, Aunt Liu walked onto the terrace with an ice drink in her hand.

As if she realized that the boy had fallen asleep, her footsteps suddenly became inaudible, but she came to the rattan chair as if floating.

Aunt Liu pointed at the young man and then pointed downwards.

Ali nodded.

Aunt Liu bent down, reached out her hand, and picked up the boy.

Li Zhuiyuan noticed it, opened his eyes, saw that it was Aunt Liu, and then closed his eyes again. He was too tired and was sleeping soundly, and didn't want to interrupt.

Aunt Liu carried the boy to the second floor and wanted to put him in the guest room to continue sleeping.

Ah Li opened the door of his room and looked at her.

Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist and put the boy on A'li's bed.

Before leaving, she lit a piece of sleep-aid incense.

Ali picked up her thin blanket, folded it neatly as she had done as a teenager back home, and then placed it over the boy's stomach.

Then, the girl sat down at the desk, placed a stack of yellow talisman paper in front of her, picked up the brush and dipped it in cinnabar gold.

The pen fell and it was done in one go.

After drawing each talisman, the girl would wave her hand and the talisman would fly to the wall and stick on it.

The girl drew a whole wall of talismans in one breath.

When I put the brush down and placed it against the edge of the inkstone, the brush, which had lost its restraint and had long been unable to bear the weight, cracked and fell apart.

The girl didn't care and looked up at the three kinds of talismans on the wall.

He waved his hand first, and a row of talisman papers fell down and landed on the girl's palm.

With another wave of the hand, the second row came down, followed by the third row.

The girl tied each stack of talisman paper with a string, and then put the three stacks of talisman paper into the boy's school bag.

After drawing so many talismans at once, the girl felt tired.

She turned the chair next to the desk toward the bed, sat on it, put her feet on the edge of the bed, and placed her hands on her knees.

Everything seemed to have returned to the way it was before.

Just like in the east room of Li Sanjiang's house, she sat inside the house, sitting on a small stool with her feet on the threshold, but now, there was a sleeping boy on the threshold, basking in the sun with her.

In the past, the thing she hated most was sleeping, because every time she closed her eyes, those things would immediately swarm in front of her, teasing, threatening and cursing her.

Each one of them tells of a hatred that was suppressed by an ancestor in the past, and vows to make their descendants pay for all the pain.

But behind her, the ancestral tablets that once suppressed these dead evil spirits were cracked one by one, and there was no movement at all, just ignoring her alone as she faced the groups of people outside.

When she was a child, she saw that her grandmother liked to talk to the tablet.

She had also learned to plead to the tablets in her dreams, but all she got in response was loneliness and silence.

Later, she found out that her grandmother actually knew that the tablet could not hear what she said.

She likes to collect things used by boys, because they bear the smell and traces of boys. Those filled collection boxes are her confidence and the straw that keeps her asleep.

Now, she was tired, she was exhausted, she wanted to sleep, and then, she fell asleep naturally.

She returned to the quaint house. It was raining outside and terrifying shadows were emerging in the rain.

She was coming, and they knew she was coming.

The girl stood up. This time, she did not sit on the bench inside the house, but sat on the threshold, with half of her body exposed outside the house. She leaned her back against the door frame and looked at the other side of the threshold.

In your mind, picture him leaning on the other end.

Liu Yumei had reminded Li Zhuiyuan more than once that if one went to the underworld too frequently, one would easily lose control and become unable to distinguish between dreams and reality.

Everyone has their own characteristics, but the experience of the elders is not without reason.

Li Zhuiyuan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, seemed to sense something and his eyelids trembled.

Then, in Ari's dream perspective, the boy really appeared, leaning on the door sill, and continued to sleep soundly.

Outside, there were ghosts howling.

The girl closed her eyes too.

For the first time, two dimples appeared at the corners of the girl's mouth when she fell asleep while sitting on the chair.

……

"Me, me, where are my eyebrows, where are my eyelashes?"

Lin Shuyou was extremely surprised when he looked at his hairless face in the mirror.

Things like eyebrows and eyelashes may seem unimportant, but when you lose them, your whole face will look weird.

Next to him, Tan Wenbin, who had just caught up on his sleep, yawned and stretched.

"Ah, you awake?"

"What's wrong with my face? It still hurts a little." Lin Shuyou touched the back of his head. At the same height as his eyes, there was still a patch of hair missing.

"It's probably a side effect of possessing a spirit."

"As a medium, how come I don't know that there is this side effect of mediumship?"

"There are many things you don't know, so you need to read and learn more."

"Really?"

"Nonsense." Tan Wenbin looked at the clock on the wall of the ward, "Are you hungry?"

"I've eaten, but I didn't call you because you were sleeping soundly."

"I'm here to take care of you. Do you know how difficult you are to take care of? When you were unconscious, you kept kicking the quilt and talking in your sleep. You sleep in a terrible way. If you're like this, your wife will have to sleep in a separate room from you after we get married."

"I'm sorry, thank you."

"Why are you saying thank you? Do we need to say these two words between you and me?" Tan Wenbin patted Lin Shuyou on the shoulder, "Come on, change the words."

"Big brother."

"Hahahaha!"

When Xiaoyuan called him "brother", Tan Wenbin felt nothing. He just thought that his biological father had given him another name, "Brother Tan Wenbinbin".

But he really feels happy when this guy calls him brother.

Lin Shuyou did not intentionally approach Tan Wenbin for Li Zhuiyuan. They both met during the class military training. Tan Wenbin's lively and cheerful personality made it easy for him to blend in with the class.

Only after Lin Shuyou puts on the mask does he show his other side, which is arrogant and confident.

On weekdays, he is very introverted and timid.

Tan Wenbin saw this point in him and was afraid that he would be bullied, so he took the initiative to protect him and at the same time wanted to develop another errand boy for his brother Yuanzi.

Unexpectedly, they picked a big bomb and almost sent the whole team to heaven.

"Brother, don't you have military training?"

"Isn't it because I want to accompany you? The instructor has approved my leave."

"Well, then you may not be able to be the monitor."

Generally speaking, those who are more active and have a higher presence during military training will most likely be elected as squad leaders after the training.

Tan Wenbin wanted to laugh. Sometimes, he really didn’t understand what was going on in this guy’s mind.

Even though he has so many great abilities, he is really willing to call me brother, just so that he can go to and from military training with me and fight for the faucet of the sink.

Moreover, he is actually obsessed with the position of "class monitor"!
It feels like being an adult obsessed with playing house.

In short, it is really hard to connect this guy in front of me with the white crane boy who lifted Runsheng up on the playground that night.

"Ah, friend, let me ask you something."

"Brother, what's the matter?"

Tan Wenbin reached out and touched Lin Shuyou's head. After confirming that he didn't have a fever, he asked, "When you were in your hometown, did anyone tell you that you might have some mental problems?"

"Mental problems?"

"For example, the word that is very popular in newspapers now: split personality?"

"Have I?"

"It seems there is."

"I don't feel that way. My family members feel the same way as I do."

Tan Wenbin frowned. Is this a family inheritance?

No, it's more like an occupational disease.

As the name suggests, spirit possession and divine descent can easily lead to split personality, right?
"Brother, do you think I'm sick?"

"No, it's okay, it's fine, you look much cuter like this than with the face painted on, so don't paint too much in the future."

My sixth sense told me that my brother Yuanzi seemed to be very good at treating this disease, or at least he had a lot of experience with it.

But Brother Yuanzi didn't want to get too close to Lin Shuyou, so Tan Wenbin didn't recommend the famous doctor.

The most important thing is, what's the point of curing him? Will he look the same even if he doesn't have the mask on as he does with it?
Look at that night, even though he was injured so badly, he was still arguing with Brother Yuanzi while lying on the bed. Now his face is clean and hairless, and he looks much better.

At this time, two girls appeared outside the ward. They were Wu Xue and Xu Bailu.

"Hello, Senior."

Tan Wenbin raised his hand to greet them, then walked out.

Lin Shuyou looked at Tan Wenbin chatting and laughing with two senior schoolmates in the corridor outside the window, and a pure envious smile appeared on his face.

Before he had his face painted, he didn't dare talk to girls, but after he had his face painted, he had no interest in girls anymore.

After rejecting the invitations from two senior schoolmates to dinner and a visit to the amusement park, Tan Wenbin walked back.

"Brother, are you going to date someone?"

Tan Wenbin rolled his eyes at him and said, "Bullshit."

He just followed Brother Yuanzi's instructions yesterday afternoon and went to find the senior sister who had woken up to get some information.

From the perspective of the two seniors, they had just experienced a supernatural event and were feeling very anxious, when a sunny junior suddenly appeared, counseled and comforted them, and revealed his expertise in this matter. It was easy for them to develop a favorable impression of him.

After all, encountering a ghost is a much bigger blow to a normal person than a broken heart.

Besides, no one says that the prince charming in fairy tales can’t catch ghosts.

However, Tan Wenbin has no interest in dating.

The excitement of last night's escape has not yet subsided. When I go to have dinner with Runsheng and others tonight, I can still revisit it and savor it.

"So, brother, don't you plan to find a partner in college?"

“No such plan.”

Somehow, the image of Zhou Yunyun, the high school class monitor, emerged in Tan Wenbin's mind.

He thought of the girl who shouted to him that she loved him in the noisy classroom before the college entrance examination.

When I thought of this, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curve up.

He never regretted his rejection, and it didn't affect the beauty of that moment when he recalled it now.

However, after the college entrance examination, he had no direct contact with Zhou Yunyun. Only in the phone call with his mother did his mother tell him that Zhou Yunyun also attended a university in Jinling, and it seemed that she was studying auditing in Jinling.

His biological mother also urged him to find more contact information. After all, they were in the same city, so it would be convenient to keep in touch, and they could go home together during the winter and summer vacations.

"Brother, do you have someone you like?"

Tan Wenbin pretended to be serious and said, "The past can only become a memory."

Lin Shuyou nodded and said, "So the person you like is dead, brother."

Tan Wenbin: “…”

The doctor came to check on Lin Shuyou in the afternoon and praised his recovery speed.

When Tan Wenbin first brought him here, the doctor suggested transferring him to another hospital. After all, with such serious injuries, the school clinic and community hospital might not be able to control the condition.

But Tan Wenbin shook his head firmly and said it didn't matter, he was just a young man.

Sure enough, Lin Shuyou did not disappoint Tan Wenbin. Although his recovery speed was not as exaggerated as Runsheng's, he was essentially not an ordinary person.

With the same injury, Tan Wenbin felt that he would have to lie in bed for at least ten days or half a month before he could get out of bed. A person can recover his mobility in two days. He even thought about taking Tan Wenbin to continue military training to make it easier for him to compete for squad leader.

Tan Wenbin was too lazy to argue with him anymore, so he completed the discharge procedures for him and helped him back to the dormitory.

In the afternoon, everyone in the dormitory went to class.

Tan Wenbin saw the red sausage on the small altar, picked it up familiarly and took a bite.

Lin Shuyou dissuaded him, “Brother, this is what Senior Lu Yi brought to offer sacrifices to his ancestors.”

"It's okay, I'll eat it too."

Lu Yi didn't want to tell his roommates about the ghost in the dormitory, so he made up this excuse.

"By the way, where are the tools you used to open your face? Let me take a look."

"In my locker, the top left locker."

Tan Wenbin opened the cabinet, which contained a set of brushes and paints. He took them out and asked, "Is it particular?"

"The faces painted are different depending on the object of the spirit."

"So many things, are you so particular?"

“It’s about paying attention to detail.”

"But I remember that Xiaoyuan was like this that night." Tan Wenbin stretched out five fingers and turned them in a circle towards his face. "He just put five fingers with red marks on them, and just casually painted them like this."

Lin Shuyou was speechless for a moment.

"So, this is actually possible, right?"

"A powerful medium can possess a spirit without opening his face." Lin Shuyou paused, and then said, "But that night he told me that he was lying to me and that he didn't possess a spirit."

"Did he lie to you?"

"The one who lied was... White Crane Boy."

Lin Shuyou's voice became smaller and smaller. White Crane Boy: The vertical pupils open, and the evil spirit appears.

What kind of disguise and deception can fool the vertical pupils of the White Crane Boy?
If he wasn't lying, the spirit that came down from the sky that night might really be General Sun.

That is an existence that even Lin Shuyou himself cannot invite down now.

"But brother, why did he lie to me and not invite me..."

"Well, my brother Xiaoyuan likes to keep a low profile."

Lin Shuyou nodded: "My grandfather also said that in recent decades, the Dragon King of the Liu family has indeed been very low-key, but he is so young, he will leave the river in the future, right?"

"Oh, that's for sure."

Tan Wenbin nodded seriously, although he still hadn't figured out exactly what walking along the river meant.

Could it be that he was holding a knife and chopping all the way from the head of the Yangtze River to the tail of the Yangtze River?

"If he leaves Jiang in the future, please give me his name card first, and I will definitely persuade my grandfather to bow his head."

"Huh?" Tan Wenbin, who studied hydraulic engineering after all, asked in confusion, "Does the Yangtze River pass by your hometown?"

“Well, I don’t really understand the details. My grandfather said that when a river walker suppresses evil spirits to achieve merit, it will also involve many causes and effects, and sometimes it will involve other sects and families.

According to the temperament of the Dragon King family, whoever dares not to cooperate and bow his head will be beaten until he bows his head, otherwise how can he be called the Dragon King?"

"Fuck, it makes my blood boil."

Tan Wenbin fanned his collar and said, "Then you have to give me some respect when I go to your house next time."

"I can only advise. I still have my master above me, and my master has my grandfather above him."

"Then you have to exercise your subjective initiative. When you go back during the winter and summer vacations, start working on usurping the throne."

"I……"

"Just kidding, just kidding."

"I will persuade him, because he is different from you, big brother..."

"Why do you keep calling him that? Have you forgotten what I taught you, respectful titles?"

"Big Brother is different from you, Brother Bin. Big Brother is too cruel. When he leaves, I'm afraid that if my family doesn't bow down, Big Brother will..."

Tan Wenbin didn't know how to respond to this, because he knew that this was really the style of his brother Yuanzi.

Without mentioning the past, what they actually did last night was to cut the roots.

However, he had to cover up for his big brother in public:
"Hey, at least my brother Yuanzi spared your life, and you still say he's cruel?"

"I didn't see that."

It’s the White Crane Boy.

After a brief silence, Tan Wenbin stood up and said, "Okay, you should have a good rest. There is no rush for military training, at least not tomorrow. I have something to do."

"What could be more important than running for class monitor?"

"If you mention the squad leader again in front of me, I will use your paint pen to paint the Altar Purifier on your face!"

I walked out of Lu Yi’s dormitory and returned to my own dormitory. Brother Xiaoyuan had not come back yet.

Tan Wenbin sat down at his desk and took out a professional book to read.

It was almost dark when the dormitory door was pushed open and Li Zhuiyuan came back with his schoolbag.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, what have you been busy with?"

"I went to catch up on some sleep." Li Zhuiyuan opened his schoolbag, took out three bundles of talisman paper, and handed them to Tan Wenbin. "They are the Evil Breaking Talisman, the Sealing Talisman, and the Heart Purifying Talisman. Divide them into four equal parts. Keep one for yourself and give it to Runsheng, Yin Meng, and the others as well."

Tan Wenbin bent down and took out several copies of "Records of Subduing Demons by the Righteous Way" from the book bag at his feet. After quickly flipping through the pages, he found the place where talismans were recorded.

Then, he carefully compared the illustrations in the book, matched the name with the talisman paper pattern, took out double-sided tape, wrote the name on it, divided it into four equal parts, tied it up with wide paper strips, and then pasted the double-sided tape with the corresponding name on it.

"call……"

After doing all this, he stood up and left the table: "Brother Xiaoyuan, I'm going to deliver the talisman. Do I need to bring you dinner?"

"No, I ate it and came back."

After Tan Wenbin left, Li Zhuiyuan did not go to read, but lay on the bed, resting his head on his hands, looking at the ceiling.

Tomorrow is the day Liu Yumei officially moves in, and it is also the day she gets started.

I feel like after a year of self-study, I can finally go to school.

I'm really looking forward to it.

PS: After I finished writing this chapter, I found that the word count exceeded 2 words. According to the rules of Qidian, a chapter cannot exceed 2 words, otherwise it cannot be sent out. So I can only divide it into two chapters, and this chapter will be connected to the next chapter at the end.

Don't panic, hold on tight everyone!
