I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 359 They were really hard to kill when they were kids!

The rice paddies of the Li family were covered with a vast expanse of golden yellow, all of which were peeled corn.

This scene wasn't unusual for Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian, as they had seen many similar sights along the way.

Some houses even had beds lined up one after another, and the entire roadside was lined with golden beds.

Some families would even spread rice in the middle of the road so that passing vehicles could run over it.

What left them at a loss were two elderly people who had just gotten off the bus and were standing at the end of the rice paddy, watching them.

There was also a young man.

The three people had been sitting in front of the door peeling corn.

With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, the government has been urging people who are away from home to reunite with their families during the holidays in recent years.

The two elderly people must want to see their child come back.

So when you see a taxi parked in front of your house, you naturally have to take a look.

The only problem is that the child didn't come back, but the grandson did.

Li Daoguo and Zhang Xiuying were all smiles when they saw Li Yan get out of the car first. When they saw Zhu Zhu from the Jiang family also get out, their smiles became even wider.

However, what I saw were two pretty girls following behind Jiang Yingzhu.

The two elderly people were stunned.

What's going on? Why did you bring three back?!

Country folk love to gossip, and this attracted the attention of many farmers in the surrounding area.

Some people have already started walking this way.

Such beautiful girls are a rare sight. Your Li family has sent three at once, so you should take a good look at them, right?

Li Yan was also worried that they might overthink things, so he immediately made an introduction.

"Grandpa and Grandma, these are my good friends and classmates. I brought them here to play for a couple of days."

"Oh oh."

Li Daoguo finally came to his senses and immediately came up to greet him.

“Xiao Yan’s friends, good, good, they look like good students. Please have a seat. Ah Bao, bring them some chairs.”

Li Daoguo said to Li Bao, who was behind him, that he wanted to stand up but felt it was unnecessary, but then saw that there were guests and wanted to stand up again.

Upon hearing this, Li Bao, who was somewhat unaccustomed to being around pretty girls, felt as if he had been granted a pardon and ran straight into the main room.

Li Daoguo chuckled and said, "Don't be shy, you two. You chat amongst yourselves, I'll go get you some snacks."

As he spoke, he went straight to Old Meng's small supermarket next door without saying another word.

Grandma Zhang Xiuying greeted her with a smile, "I'll go cook for you. It's almost evening. What does my daughter like to eat?"

Mei Mengqian waved her hands repeatedly, trying to suppress her blush, but she still couldn't hide it.

"No, Grandma, no need."

“Yes, we’re fine with anything.” Hua Junshu nodded.

But Li Yan said directly, "Grandma, the one with the red face is called Mei Mengqian. She likes to eat sweet potato noodles with shredded pork. The one with the white face is called Hua Junshu. She likes to eat eggs. Just stir-fry two dishes with eggs."

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian was almost dying of embarrassment. What does it mean to blush?

That's a normal, healthy complexion for her.

Hua Junshu didn't say anything, but simply nodded, "Thank you, Grandma."

"No trouble at all! No trouble at all. You guys sit and play for a while, I'll go get some food."

Zhang Xiuying took the basket and left, while Jiang Yingzhu then said to Li Yan:
"And what about my stir-fried pork? Li Yan, why don't you mention my stir-fried pork!"

"Do I even need to say it? My grandma remembers exactly when you wet your pants as a kid, let alone... *sob*!"

Li Yan removed Jiang Yingzhu's hand from his mouth, revealing a "I'll let you off this time" expression.

Jiang Yingzhu snorted and led Mengmeng and her senior to sit down in front of the door.

Mengmeng and her senior felt it was a pity that they hadn't heard more about Zhuzhu's embarrassing past.

Hua Junshu sat on the inside and glanced at the fresh, unpeeled corn in the sack next to him.

I picked one up at random and started peeling it.

Mei Mengqian's eyes lit up when she saw this, "Senior, give me one too."

"Ah."

"Pfft, hahaha." Jiang Yingzhu burst out laughing. "You guys are even scrambling to do farm work."

"It's fun," Mei Mengqian said, seeing a boy who looked a bit like Li Yan bring out a plate of sunflower seeds and peanuts and place it on a stool in front of them.

"You guys eat."

As Li Bao spoke, he paused when he saw them peeling corn, then added, "Those... uh, you're guests, it's not appropriate."

He seemed even more nervous than Mei Mengqian when she met Li Yan's elders.

Jiang Yingzhu was speechless. "Oh, if they like it, just leave it to them, Li Bao. Look at Li Yan, he doesn't care."

Li Bao glanced at his cousin, who was sitting in his previous spot, legs crossed, taking pictures of the rice paddies.

It looks like she's going to post it on WeChat Moments.

At this moment, Jiang Yingzhu saw that he was still standing there, so she said again, "Li Bao, why don't you sit down? Aren't you in college now? Why can't you stand girls?"

"Ahem, I studied mechanical and electrical engineering, and there were no girls in my class," Li Bao said. There used to be two, but they were transferred to other departments.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Jiang Yingzhu found it strange, then looked at Li Yan, "Li Yan, why don't you apply for mechanical and electrical engineering in the future? By the way, are there any classes more monk-like than mechanical and electrical engineering? I think you'd be quite suitable."

“I think so too.” Mei Mengqian nodded as she admired the first ear of corn she had peeled.

A fresh corn aroma wafts into the nostrils, refreshing, sweet, juicy, and carrying the scent of sunshine and fields.

Holding it in your hand, you can feel its cool, refreshing sensation, as if moisture is about to seep out.

Each kernel of corn is yellowish-white, unlike the golden yellow of corn that has been dried on the ground.

It's not the bright yellow color that comes from cooking.

Hua Junshu tossed the fresh corn in his hand into the pile of corn on the ground and nodded in agreement.

"Agree."

Li Yan was speechless and rolled his eyes.

Li Bao, however, felt something was amiss. Why would these three girls suggest that Li Yan choose a major related to becoming a monk?

The purpose is quite obvious.

Being uncomfortable chatting with girls doesn't mean he lacks emotional intelligence or common sense. His gaze towards his cousin instantly changed.

Li Bao pulled up a stool and sat down next to Li Yan, asking curiously in a low voice, "Yan, you and the others?"

"They are all my good friends."

Li Yan didn't want to talk about this, so he glanced at his phone and changed the subject to him.

"Brother, you're a sophomore now, right?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"You're a sophomore now, shouldn't you find a girlfriend? Otherwise, you might get set up with someone else. You're not like me, with your own opinions."

"Hey, you're criticizing me and then praising yourself in the process." Li Bao was speechless.

Li Yan shrugged. "I'm just telling the truth, and honest advice is hard to swallow. Be careful, your aunt might arrange a used car for you later, the kind with freebies."

"What do you mean by 'second-hand' with free gifts'?" Li Bao, being a modern young man with excellent comprehension, immediately smirked, while Bai Qi glanced at him curiously.

Can't you wish me something good?

Li Yan smiled; he was merely recounting what Li Bao had later experienced.

"Well, it's not a big deal, at least it's not a Soul Ring vehicle. If you can't get through it, you can come and screw in some screws for me, it's my specialty."

Li Bao ignored him and continued peeling corn.

Over there, Jiang Yingzhu peeled a few ears of corn with her senior and Mengmeng, then got too lazy to move and stood up, saying:

"Senior, Mengmeng, stop peeling them. Let's go to the cornfield behind and catch mountain crabs in the river. Li Bao, are you coming?"

"Oh? No, no!"

Li Bao shook his head. He was already in college; how could he play such childish games?

And there are also people I don't recognize.

"Oh, let's go then." Jiang Yingzhu pulled Li Yan and walked towards the back of the house.

The Li family's two mu of land are all behind their house.

Because it is located on a river plain, the terrain is open, and the rectangular land can be seen at a glance.

The fields were mostly covered in tender green corn, but the area near the riverbank was fenced off with a different color than corn.

Mei Mengqian saw Grandma Li Yan bending over there.

“What’s that over there? I see Grandma Li Yan.”

"You're lucky to have caught a vegetable garden. At other times, the vegetables in the garden wouldn't be as plentiful as they are now."

Jiang Yingzhu nodded, recalling the monotonous dishes on the table when she was a child.

Mei Mengqian and the other woman suddenly realized that when they saw Grandma Li Yan leaving with a vegetable basket, they thought she was going to the market.

Mei Mengqian was also curious, as she hadn't seen a vegetable market along the way.

It turns out they went to the field to pick vegetables.

"Can we go take a look?" she asked, her voice tinged with excitement.

“Sure, we’ll pass the vegetable garden on the way to the river,” Jiang Yingzhu said, leading them to a side path.

The interconnected paths could only accommodate one person at a time, so they lined up in a queue.

Jiang Yingzhu walked at the front, pulling a firewood branch from somewhere to use as a stick.

Whip the wildflowers and weeds along the field path.

Those that are tall must be beheaded or cut in half at the waist.

Even very short four-leaf clovers won't be overlooked.

A single, powerful strike splits Mount Hua, sending grass and leaves flying – a unique kind of beauty in itself.

Jiang Yingzhu even pretended to give the stick to Mengmeng and her senior, asking them to play with it too, but the two naturally refused.

Li Yan, who was at the very back, saw this and said, "Give it to me, I'll play with it."

"You think beautiful!"

Jiang Yingzhu refused, holding the branch in her hand and continuing to practice her swordplay.

Once they reached the vegetable garden, they finally threw away the branches and shouted to Zhang Xiuying, who was picking bok choy inside.

"grandmother!"

Zhang Xiuying had already seen them and immediately asked, "Why are you here?"

"Hehe, they've never seen a vegetable garden before, so they wanted to come and take a look."

"Alright, come in and pick a couple of cucumbers to eat."

Zhang Xiuying welcomed them, picking up the basket beside her. "I've just finished picking them too. Zhuzhu, you take Xiaomei and Xiaohua to look at them."

Li Yan glanced at his grandmother's basket, which mainly contained some green peppers, a small pumpkin, and some spinach and scallions.

For the elderly, relying solely on what they grow in their own vegetable garden is certainly not enough to entertain the guests brought by their grandsons.

However, this place is not far from the town, so I guess Grandpa will be riding his three-wheeled vehicle to town again soon.

Although Zhang Xiuying said that Jiang Yingzhu would show them around, she actually took them around herself.

"These are potatoes, these are taro, these are sweet potatoes, and the leaves are edible too."

She walked around for a while before leaving, leaving a few younger people to wander in the vegetable garden.

The vegetable garden wasn't big, but it wasn't small either.

Seeing that Mengmeng and her senior were reluctant to help, and Jiang Yingzhu was also not helping, Li Yan picked two small cucumbers himself.

"Come and try it."

"Aren't you going to wash it?" Mei Mengqian hurriedly caught it, a little puzzled.

"It needs to be washed."

Li Yan scanned the surface with his divine sense and saw the insect eggs, bacteria, and slight chemical residue. His face darkened.

When he was a child, he would just wipe it on his clothes and eat it.

Not only cucumbers, but also tomatoes, sweet potatoes, radishes, and yams—anything that can be eaten raw has been picked and eaten fresh.

Looking back now, those clothes weren't exactly clean.

How clean could a little boy be?

Still in the countryside.

Looking back, I realize how difficult it was to kill someone when I was a kid!
