About twenty minutes later, Xiao Shan saw an elderly man in a chef's uniform escort He Yuzhu and Li Caijuan out.
It seems this is He Yuzhu's master.
He Yuzhu said to the old man, "Master, go inside. I'll come see you again in a few days after I get my marriage certificate."
"Alright, the two of you should live a good life together. I'm relieved that you're getting married." The old man looked gratified.
In the TV series that Xiao Shan watched before his time travel, there was no interaction between He Yuzhu and his master.
The fact that He Yuzhu would specifically come to his master to tell him about his marriage is most likely Li Caijuan's idea.
As soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, Li Caijuan couldn't help but ask, "Zhuzi, is Xiao Shan from a wealthy family? He came all the way to Liuquanju for a meal. This meal must have cost at least half a month's wages for an average worker!"
“He’s just a level-two welder at the steel rolling mill now, he doesn’t have any family background!” He Yuzhu shook his head and said.
Li Caijuan couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Then why is he still living such a luxurious life? Doesn't he know how to live a decent life?"
“His parents passed away a few years ago, so now he only needs to feed himself! He can still afford to eat a meal occasionally,” He Yuzhu explained to Li Caijuan. “And on weekends, he goes fishing at Shichahai. Besides taking some home to eat, he also exchanges any extra fish for pocket money!”
"In short, although this kid doesn't earn as much as me, he lives a much more carefree life!"
Li Caijuan nodded: "I see! Being able to eat fish every weekend and having extra money to exchange, this is indeed a good life!"
“We’re doing just as well as him!” He Yuzhu said to Li Caijuan. “When the boss makes special meals for you later, I’ll bring you some good food!”
Li Caijuan shook her head: "Zhuzi, try to do this less often in the future, or you might get reported!"
"Even if you're going to bring it, you have to be discreet and not let others notice, otherwise it will have a bad impact!"
Although He Yuzhu is a reckless and unruly man, he immediately softens when he's around women.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been entangled with the pretty widow Qin Huairu for his entire life.
He Yuzhu nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you from now on."
After Xiaoshan finished eating, he found that there was still a lot of food left over from each dish.
So he asked the waiter to pack his bag for him.
Chapter 44, Han Li's Crisis! (Please add to your favorites, give flowers, and leave a review!)
These days, without plastic takeout containers, most people bring their own lunchboxes when they go to restaurants to cook.
However, the waiters had a solution.
He found a few lotus leaves and wrapped the remaining vegetables into neat squares.
Xiao Shan then paid the bill and took the leftovers back to the courtyard house.
As soon as I arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, a fragrant aroma wafted through the courtyard.
Xiaoshan is very familiar with this taste; it's the taste of fish soup.
The fragrance was wafting from the Jia family's house.
"This Jia Dongxu is quite capable; he managed to get the fish so quickly!" Xiao Shan thought to himself. "If he hadn't died, the Jia family would probably be doing quite well."
Xiao Shan said that Jia Dongxu got the fish because a few days ago, Xiao Shan saw Jia Dongxu making fishing rods at home in his spare time.
"Xiaoshan, your brother Dongxu went fishing in the countryside last night. Goodness, there were so many fish in the wild river! And they were quite big, at least two or three pounds each!" Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but run out to show off when she saw Xiaoshan enter the courtyard.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi showing off, Xiao Shan said with a smile, "Aunt Jia, you're really lucky to be with Brother Dongxu! Brother Jia is such a good fisherman, your family can improve your life every now and then."
"I'm hopeless; I don't even have anyone to cook for me. So, I had to go to Liuquanju Restaurant to have a few dishes cooked. I don't even know how good their cooking is!"
As he spoke, Xiao Shan showed his lotus leaf wrapping to Jia Zhangshi.
Xiao Shan then leisurely went to the backyard, leaving Jia Zhangshi dumbfounded.
"Mom, who are you talking to?" Qin Huairu came out.
Madam Jia said angrily, "Who else could it be? That little brat Xiaoshan!"
"He's good at fishing, you know. I told him about Dongxu going wild fishing last night. You know what he said?"
"I'm so angry! That kid went to Liuquanju to cook, carrying four lotus leaf bags."
Qin Huairu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Mom, haven't you realized it from these two hospital-wide meetings? Xiaoshan is not someone to be trifled with! Why did you have to provoke him?"
“You’re right! I was just being cheeky today, why did I have to talk to that kid Xiaoshan!” Jia Zhangshi sighed. “Huai Ru, remind me more often in the future! We should just live our own lives. As long as Banggeng and Xiaodang can grow up safely, that’s more important than anything else.”
Qin Huairu nodded: "Mom, I understand."
When Xiao Shan returned home, he opened all four lotus leaf pouches and poured them into a small basin.
Now that it's November and the weather is getting colder, Xiaoshan plans to light the stove in a couple of days.
Uncle Erda handed over the stove, and Xiaoshan had no idea how his family planned to get through the winter!
Xiao Shan got up and checked the coal briquettes by the door. These were leftovers from last year and would last for another half a month.
"Looks like I'll have to go buy some coal briquettes later!" Xiao Shan thought to himself.
Back in his room, Xiao Shan sat on the bed to rest while checking the chat group.
At this moment, the chat group was discussing Zhang Sanfeng's plan to send Zhang Cuishan and his wife down the mountain.
The chat logs show that Zhang Sanfeng helped Zhang Cuishan and his wife improve their strength before they left the mountain.
Zhang Chulan: "Master Zhang, it's a pity that your world doesn't have electricity yet, otherwise I could send you two cell phones so you can communicate with Zhang Cuishan anytime, in case anything unexpected happens!"
Zhang Sanfeng: "I bought a pair of Den Den Mushi (snail communication devices) from the group's online store a few days ago. They can communicate regardless of distance. I've already given one to Cuishan!"
Zhang Chulan: "Den Den Mushi? Master Zhang, can your mall still spawn something like this? You're really lucky!"
Zhang Sanfeng: "Haha, this old Taoist has always had good luck!"
Han Li: "I received news that Mo Juren will be returning to the Seven Mysteries Sect today."
Aside from asking questions about cultivation, Han Li rarely speaks in the group chat.
So when he suddenly appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Zhang Chulan: "Han Li, has a year already passed in your world?"
Han Li: "It has been exactly 6 months and 3 days since I joined the chat group, which is not as long as a year."
Zhang Chulan: "In your future video, didn't Mo Juren leave for almost a year before returning to the Seven Mysteries Sect? Why is it suddenly happening earlier now?"
Han Li: "I don't know the specific reason either. But Li Feiyu told me this news, and given his character, he shouldn't lie to me."
Group owner Xiao Shan: "It seems that Mo Juren must have planted spies in the Seven Mysteries Sect and discovered something amiss, which is why he came back early!"
The mortal world, the Seven Mysteries Sect.
Han Li nodded slightly in agreement as he read Xiao Shan's words in the chat group.
He was Mo Juren's only hope for survival.
Given Mo Juren's cunning and shrewdness, how could he not have planted spies around him?
The progress of his training in Changchun Gong, Blinking Sword Technique, and Luoyan Step was well concealed, and ordinary people could not see any clues.
The problem is that, in addition to these three techniques, he also practiced the Wudang techniques and the Golden Light Mantra shared by the group members.
Han Li originally wanted to accumulate more trump cards for himself, but unexpectedly, he faced the danger brought by Mo Juren ahead of time.
Wudang martial arts techniques generally have the effects of strengthening the body, nourishing life, and boosting energy.
After half a year of training, his appearance has changed from a thin boy to a strong young man, and his spirit has undergone a tremendous transformation.
Such changes cannot be hidden from the eyes of those who are observant.
In fact, Han Li was already being very careful.
Ever since he noticed his body was getting stronger, he's bought a lot of loose-fitting clothes.
I usually go out when no one is around.
However, despite Han Li's carefulness, he could not escape the eyes of those who were watching.
It wasn't that Han Li didn't want to stay at home; it was mainly because he wanted to get in touch with Li Feiyu to learn the Blinking Sword Technique.
Moreover, many auxiliary medicines for pills such as Jin Sui Dan and Huang Long Dan need to be purchased.
Han Li: "I had long suspected that Mo Juren had spies within the Seven Mysteries Sect, but I didn't expect him to be so cautious and return to the valley so quickly!"
Han Li: "I was careless this time. It seems I must be more cautious in everything I do in the future!"
Zhang Chulan: "So, are you confident you can deal with Mo Juren now?"
Han Li: "After half a year of hard training, plus the boost from the training ground in the chat group, my strength has now reached the mid-stage of the third rank. Dealing with Mo Juren alone is no problem at all! But the problem is that he also brought Zhang Tie, whom he turned into a puppet, which makes dealing with him a bit tricky!"
Chapter 45, Ambush on Mo Juren! (Please add to your favorites, give flowers, and leave a review!)
Group owner Xiao Shan: "It's a pity that the chat group doesn't have a cross-world function yet, otherwise we could come and help you!"
Zhang Chulan: "Han Li is such a cautious person. Since he only said it was troublesome, rather than completely impossible to deal with, it means he has at least a 70-80% chance of winning!"
Yue Buqun: "That's right! Moreover, with Han Li's current strength, even if he can't deal with Mo Juren and Zhang Tie, escaping shouldn't be a problem!"
Seeing how confident Zhang Chulan and Yue Buqun were in his abilities, Han Li couldn't help but laugh and cry: The powerful me is the one in the future, not the one now!
However, Yue Buqun was right; even if he couldn't win, he could still escape.
In order to increase his chances of defeating Mo Juren, Han Li exchanged all 100 group points he had saved for a rainy day for training time.
When Han Li came out of the training ground, his strength had improved again, and he was already at the late stage of the third tier.
At the same time, just to be on the safe side, Han Li also set up various traps in his room.
I don't need to cause any real harm to Mo Juren, just slow down his movements.
Three days later, Han Li was meditating and cultivating in his room.
Suddenly, a familiar cough reached Han Li's ears.
Han Li knew that Mo Juren had returned!
Because the members of the chat group had told him before that he should remember to open the live stream when fighting Mo Juren so that everyone could watch.
So now, after hearing Mo Juren cough, Han Li left and opened the live broadcast room.
Seeing Han Li suddenly open the live stream, everyone who was chatting in the group entered the live stream.
Mo Juren's coughing grew closer and closer, and Han Li felt the hairs on his body stand on end!
Finally, Mo Juren appeared at the door of Han Li's room with Li Tie, whom he had turned into a puppet.
Li Tie stepped forward and opened the door, and Mo Juren's gaze fell directly on Han Li, who was meditating.
"Elder Mo, you're back!" Han Li displayed his superb acting skills, standing up somewhat flusteredly from his meditation.
Mo Juren stared intently at Han Li's body, his eyes wide.
As a renowned physician, how could he not see just how strong Han Li's body was?
This made Mo Juren's mind wander: Could this cultivation technique also strengthen a person's body?
Mo Juren beckoned to Han Li: "Han Li, come here, let me see how your true qi cultivation is going!"
Han Li hesitated for a moment, but still obediently walked up to Mo Juren.
Seeing Han Li walk up to him, Mo Juren stretched out a hand and grabbed Han Li's wrist like lightning.
Han Li stood still, letting Mo Juren hold his wrist.
In a flash, countless thoughts raced through Han Li's mind.
He knew that Mo Juren's decisive action this time indicated that he had become suspicious.
There was no way to retreat in this situation; it was a life-or-death struggle between him and Mo Juren!
Since that's the case, it's best to strike first!
Han Li looked at Mo Juren with a blank expression, appearing completely harmless: "Elder Mo, after you left Divine Hand Valley, I have been diligently cultivating my true qi. But for some reason, no matter how I cultivate, my true qi hasn't improved at all; instead, my body is getting stronger and stronger. Elder Mo, please take a look and see if I've done something wrong in my cultivation?"
Upon hearing Han Li's words, a hint of doubt flashed in Mo Juren's eyes.
My internal energy hasn't improved at all, but my physical body is getting stronger and stronger. What's going on?
Could it be that Han Li has a special physique?
A variety of guesses flashed through Mo Juren's mind.
