Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 126

Do you dare to come down?
Old man Tian thought to himself: Tsk, you are up there so you are up there, what does it have to do with my young master coming down?
But the next moment, Old Man Tian's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

On the river,

Going down the river?

The old man staggered and stepped back continuously, but thinking that the young man and his gang were right behind him, he tapped the ground with his toes and did a smooth spin on the spot.

After facing the other person, he continued to stagger backwards with confidence.

With a "thump", his calf hit the steps and he sat down on his butt.

The old man's eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, his expression was trembling, and even his wrists, which had just been bandaged, were bleeding unconsciously.

Apart from his loyalty, Old Man Tian was a bit slow in other aspects. But even if he was slow, he knew the meaning and weight of the word "Zou Jiang" in the world of martial arts.

In ordinary sects and families, when disciples reach a certain age, they will leave home and join the sect. Some are called traveling in the world, some are called experiencing the tribulations of the secular world, some are called watching the clouds and listening to the waves, and some are simply called exercising, wandering, or walking.

Many ancient books, such as the Yin family genealogy, record the stories of almost every generation of the Yin family members traveling, but the word "walking along the river" has never appeared here.

Strictly speaking, only the descendants of the Dragon King family can claim to be walking on the river after lighting the lamp.

Because our ancestors have walked along this river many times, there are probably still many "old friends" and "familiar faces" left on the road. So it is not called adventuring or pioneering, but just retracing the path of our ancestors. While achieving self-achievement, it is also an announcement to the rivers, lakes and seas that my family heritage is still there, and I will continue to follow the rules.

Jiujiang Zhao did produce a Dragon King during the Qing Dynasty, but he never really broke through that level, and people in the underworld did not recognize him as Dragon King Zhao. His family members called themselves "Zou Jiang", and if you really want to be precise... they are actually trying to flatter themselves.

After all, there was only one Dragon King in your family, and it was so many years ago. Where are there any "relatives and old friends" for you to visit?

The loyal old servant was shallow-eyed. His young master had been testing them for a whole day, but he had not recognized the possible identities of the young men in front of him until now.

"Dragon...Dragon King's?"

Fortunately, we didn't fight when we were roasting sweet potatoes by the river. If we had really fallen out, our family wouldn't have been able to protect us.

On the roof, Zhao Yi, who got a definite answer, calmed down instead.

The Yellow River shovel is proof of identity, and the officer's head is an acceptable variable, but to put it bluntly, these are secondary. The most important thing is that Zhao Yi discovered step by step that the young man in front of him is younger than himself and more terrifying than himself.

As a candidate that the family is preparing to go to the Yangtze River, when they see such a person, they can only move him up in the ranking.

"Sir, you are so young and yet you are so impatient to go to the river."

Seeing that the other party avoided his previous question, Li Zhuiyuan lost interest in him and did not answer the question.

His second lamp was self-igniting.

Before he officially decided to leave, the water in the river had already reached his ankles.

Zhao Yi saw that the other party ignored him, and he did not feel disappointed. He lowered his head and shouted, "Grandpa Tian, ​​please throw a dagger up."

Old Man Tian was a little confused at the moment. Since it was his young master's request, he threw the dagger upwards without thinking.

After throwing it, he finally realized it and asked hurriedly, "Master, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Yi grabbed the dagger with his right hand and tore off the cloth on his forehead with his left hand.

It was the other party that I had repeatedly tested, and now that the other party had given a clear answer and asked a counter-question, I had forced myself into a corner.

I'm on the river, do you dare to come down?

This is not a simple inquiry. If you avoid it, talk about other things, or even answer it in a way that is not loud enough or confident enough, then you have already lost the battle before you even leave.

Without that kind of ambition and confidence, how can you cross the river and become the Dragon King?

A smile appeared on Zhao Yi's face, and while continuing to smile, he stabbed the dagger into his forehead and started digging!
Blood continued to flow out from the center of the eyebrows along the bridge of the nose, all the way down to the corners of the lips, to the chin, and finally dripped down and landed on the body of Old Man Tian below.

Old Man Tian looked up in disbelief and shouted, "Master, no, Master, no!"

Li Zhuiyuan raised his head again and looked at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi's face was covered in blood, and he was weighing a piece of meat in his hand. There was a large, dark, deep wound between his eyebrows, which was still bleeding.

He stood up straight and casually threw away the "gap between life and death" that symbolized the special and extraordinary.

With that, he's a genius.

You have to cure it before you can cross the river, otherwise you can't even walk steadily.

But without it, I can walk by myself and go to see the river.

Zhao Yi leaped forward, his body bent in the air, and bounced again before landing. His body stretched out, and he easily relieved the force and landed steadily.

He opened his arms and uttered a soft groan:
"Oh, it feels good."

Without that thing, his body perception was restored.

"Master, Master, Master, you are confused, confused."

Old man Tian crawled to Zhao Yi's feet, hugged his young master's legs, and cried bitterly.

The two were nominally master and servant, but they were more like family. Old Man Tian was truly heartbroken to see his young master destroying his own future.

Zhao Yi patted Old Man Tian on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, Grandpa Tian, ​​now we are both not smart anymore. It's good and a good match."

After simply comforting Old Man Tian, ​​Zhao Yi looked at Li Zhuiyuan. He tilted his head slightly and smiled:

"You just asked me if I dared to come down?

Actually, originally, it wasn't necessary for me to cross this river, but since you're already on the river, I really have to come up and join in the fun.

I don't mean anything else, I just worry that you feel lonely and bored.

In other words, if you weren't on this river, I wouldn't even bother to take this trip!"

The weak retreat when faced with setbacks, while the strong become stronger when faced with an even stronger opponent.

Zhao Yi knew that he would definitely run into the young man in front of him in the future. They would definitely meet again in the future. It was possible for them to cooperate, to unite, or to be wary of each other, but in the end there would inevitably be a winner, and it might even be... life or death.

Ordinary families and sects, when they can no longer move forward, will just turn around and admit defeat.

But for those who are committed to the inheritance of the Dragon King family, losing is more difficult to accept than death.

Those old Dragon King families could recognize many blood feuds from each other’s altar tablets.

Walking along the river is like a bloody arena where you either surrender or die, and only one king can emerge standing.

Li Zhuiyuan said nothing.

Zhao Yi said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, sir, please give me some face. I worked hard to get the place heated up and made myself excited. You should at least give me some respect."

Li Zhuiyuan nodded and said, "After you light the lantern and officially leave for the river, if we meet again and the conditions are right, I will seriously consider how to kill you."

Old Man Tian's eyes widened when he heard this. Is this a direct threat to his life?

Zhao Yi's face was filled with emotion.

Sometimes, when “I’m seriously considering killing you” comes from the mouth of a recognized competitor, it can be the greatest recognition and compliment to yourself.

Zhao Yi opened his arms and wanted to hug Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan took half a step back and rejected this slightly intimate gesture.

Zhao Yi withdrew his hand and just leaned forward to Li Zhuiyuan, his lips trembling slightly. Even though the distance was so close, the lip sounds he made were barely audible.

No one around could hear it, but Zhao Yi knew that the boy in front of him had excellent hearing.

Zhao Yi said: "Since you have crossed the river, it means that you are indeed a human being, but I can see that there is a monster hidden in your body. You are sick, right?"

Li Zhuiyuan remained silent.

Zhao Yi continued, "I will go back and study how to completely stimulate your disease. I don't need to kill you, I just need to help you tear off your skin.

This way, even if you win in the end, you will be the one who loses the most completely."

When Li Zhuiyuan looked at Zhao Yi, a gleam of light finally appeared in his eyes.

This young master of the Zhao family really made him feel interesting.

Zhao Yi retracted his neck contentedly and waved his hand:
"The river is vast, and hundreds of boats are competing for the current. No matter how many times we may meet in the future, the last time we meet will be at your grave or mine. Don't toast me, I don't like that. Bring me a cup of tea, I love Biluochun."

Tan Wenbin immediately took out a pen and a notebook from his clothes and read out loud as he wrote: "I've made a note. Young Master Zhao from Jiujiang loves to drink Biluochun. I'll prepare some for you before you visit the grave."

Seeing this, Zhao Yi immediately turned his head to look at Old Man Tian who was still hugging his thigh and crying.

Old man Tian wiped his tears and nose, looking confused.

Zhao Yi sighed helplessly. It seemed that he had to carefully select followers who would worship him, the Dragon King, before lighting a lamp and heading for the river. As for Grandpa Tian, ​​should he take him with him?

But he didn't lose the battle, and his subordinates couldn't do it, so he had to ask himself: "Sir, what do you want me to offer you when I visit your grave in the future?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Jianlibao."

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, you can do it."

After saying that, Zhao Yi pulled Old Man Tian up and prepared to leave.

Li Zhuiyuan said, "Wait a minute."

"Ah?" Zhao Yi turned around. "Are we going to fight now? After all, we came here together under the banner of justice. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm worried that if you kill me now, it will have a bad impact on your escape."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Shizhuo Zhao is gone, but there are still lonely old people and orphans in the front yard."

Zhao Yi asked in return: "What's wrong with that? Did this family really adopt them to take care of them until they die and raise them to adulthood?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "People can die without knowing why, but things cannot end without a beginning."

The main thing is that if this matter is not resolved clearly and this cause and effect is not dealt with, there may be more trouble in the future.

Zhao Yi did not leave Jiang, so he did not have a deep understanding of this.

Of course, Li Zhuiyuan felt that even if Zhao Yi fled to Jiang, it would be difficult for him to be as profound as he was.

Zhao Yi: "Your Excellency's meaning is."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Your family can invest in building a nursing home and an orphanage here, and donate some more money to take over this matter."

"Why?"

"Shizhuo Zhao's surname is also Zhao."

"The family has been separated for a long time. There are many people with the same surname in the world. Do they all have to bear the responsibility for this?"

"Didn't you just visit relatives?"

Zhao Yi: “…”

"Can you take it?"

"Okay, I, Jiujiang Zhao, will take over the stall here. Is there anything else?"

"It's okay, you can go now." Li Zhuiyuan then looked at Runsheng: "Battle flag."

Runsheng took the battle flag out of his backpack.

Zhao Yi saw the battle flags made of metal poles and said in dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you tell me that you had ready-made battle flags in your bag when I got the firewood to carve them this afternoon?"

During the time before dark, Zhao Yi asked Old Man Tian to go to a nearby farmer's house to buy him several bundles of firewood. Old Man Tian chopped the wood from a distance, while Zhao Yi sat in front of Li Zhuiyuan and carved.

The dragon head stake that is still burning outside was carved by him piece by piece. The dozen or so wooden sticks inserted into the ground to surround it were also carved by him alone.

After finally finishing the work, his hands were so tired that they almost cramped.

But now I tell myself that I don’t have to go to the site to make it at all, I have this equipment with me, and the quality is better.

Li Zhuiyuan: "I saw that you were very proud of your carving, so I didn't want to spoil your mood."

Zhao Yi: “Haha…haha.”

Li Zhuiyuan inserted small flags into the cracks in the ground, from the northwest corner to the southeast, and the last flag in his hand was inserted in the center.

Old Man Tian looked around suspiciously, but nothing seemed to have changed.

Zhao Yi began to move his fingers and confirmed that this was a very simple yet special formation. The special thing about it was that it was too simple.

Tan Wenbin opened the cigarette box again, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

He had seen this formation before. It was hard for Brother Yuanzi, as he always had to convert profound things into simple doodles so that he could memorize them.

Taking out a lighter and lighting the cigarette, Binbin took a deep breath, then held the cigarette in his hand and flicked his thumb upwards:
"Snapped!"

The burning cigarette flew forward and, after landing, it splashed faint sparks.

In an instant, all kinds of sparks appeared in the entire backyard. They were looking for anything nearby that could be ignited, and the fire suddenly rose up.

Shizhuo Zhao, and all traces of him, should be erased.

Zhao Yi opened his mouth and blurted out: "Fire will burn..."

He stopped talking halfway through.

Because the fire did not spread outward and was confined to the backyard.

Zhao Yi immediately understood and looked at Li Zhuiyuan: "You secretly modified the formation I modified?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "You made the changes based on the formation I modified."

This conversation may seem a bit confusing, but it actually contains a hidden contest.

Li Zhuiyuan would not enter a formation controlled by others without permission. He first modified the formation here and took control. However, he left space for Zhao Yi, predicted his modification path, and let him finish the job.

Zhao Yi knew that he was outdone again. He gritted his teeth and pointed at Li Zhuiyuan: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you regret it?"

Zhao Yi shrugged: "This young master is even more excited, hehe."

The fire started and everyone left the backyard.

When I came outside the wall, I could no longer see the fire inside. I could only see a few sparks floating out occasionally, but they were quickly turned into darkness by the deep night.

As the fire burned here, the coughing of the elderly and children in the front yard became much lighter, the mentally retarded child's eyes became more lively, and the face of the lonely old man became more rosy.

When the villagers wake up tomorrow morning, they will see that the backyard of Lao Zhao's house has been burned to ashes, but the front yard is not destroyed at all.

Zhao Yi and Old Man Tian left.

Li Zhuiyuan and others stayed where they were for a while longer.

This was the first time that Lin Shuyou participated in a mission for the entire team, and the ending was not that he was carried to the infirmary for emergency treatment.

Therefore, he was in the mood to sigh at this moment: "Knowing that doing these things would be intolerable by heaven, why do you still do them?"

Tan Wenbin reached out and patted Ah You on the back of his head: "The law is there. If everyone knows and abides by the law, what is the use of the police?"

Lin Shuyou turned his head and looked at Tan Wenbin: "Brother Bin, the way you said this... has a very high-level feeling."

After reading the book and notes written by Yuan Zige and combining them with his own family background, Tan Wenbin was inspired:

"The way of heaven is elusive, but the law can be written down and erected on a monument, visible and tangible. However, even so, it still cannot stop the ignorant from fearlessly breaking the law, knowingly breaking the law, acting as a protective umbrella, and repeatedly testing the edge of the law. The sun... There is nothing new under the way of heaven."

Li Zhuiyuan turned around, glanced at a hill in the distance, and said, "Let's go back to school."

On the slope in the distance, Zhao Yi was bandaging the wound on his forehead.

Old man Tian could only hang his hands and sigh continuously, like a sad kangaroo.

"Grandpa Tian, ​​even if you want to send your son off, you don't have to rehearse so hastily, right?"

"Pah, pah, pah! Master, you are blessed with great fortune, don't say such unlucky words."

"Qitian is no longer available. You don't know how terrifying that person is."

"Then you still..."

“But it’s really satisfying to be able to compete with such a person for the position of Dragon King.

He has a good chance of winning, but he is not sure of winning.

The notes of the Dragon King ancestor of my Zhao family also recorded the praise and admiration of many outstanding people, but in that era, he was the one who finally succeeded in crossing the river.

There are many undercurrents in the river, and no matter how many geniuses there are, they cannot stop those holes.”

"Master, you seem to have forgotten to ask which Dragon King is behind him."

"It's not that I forgot to ask, it's that they deliberately didn't say it. Whose team calls each other like this?"

"I see."

Zhao Yi touched the bandaged wound and clenched his fist:

"Walk,

Go home and light a lamp!"

……

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the dormitory through the window, and Li Zhuiyuan woke up from his bed.

To his surprise, Tan Wenbin was also awake.

Binbin did sleep, but he probably didn't sleep well and his sleep was intermittent.

At this moment, he was resting his head on his hands, holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, looking at the ceiling of the dormitory.

"Go ahead and smoke if you want. I don't mind."

"Ah, Brother Xiaoyuan, are you awake?" Tan Wenbin took the cigarette out of his mouth, "What are you smoking? I've quit smoking."

"It's okay, just remember to ventilate after you finish smoking."

Tan Wenbin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiaoyuan."

Li Zhuiyuan got up, washed, packed his schoolbag and put it on his back.

"I'm going to Grandma Liu's house."

"Okay, Brother Xiaoyuan."

"Is Zhou Yunyun going to be discharged from the hospital today?"

"Ok, I know."

"Grandma Liu's place is empty too."

"Yeah, I know."

Li Zhuiyuan did not rush to leave, but stood there and looked at Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, and stood up silently: "Brother Xiaoyuan, I can adjust myself. Given our relationship, you really don't have to make things difficult for yourself."

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head.

However, he didn't say anything else and left the dormitory.

"call……"

Tan Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief. It was rare for Brother Xiaoyuan to talk to him so much this morning. He picked up a mirror and looked at his face, muttering to himself:
"My emotions are written all over my face? Tsk, I'm still too young, my face is too tender."

Tan Wenbin leaned back on the bed, picked up the cigarette again and lit it with a lighter.

He had several dreams in a row last night, and in all of them he was killing Zhao Mengyao.

He had no regrets. The Shizhuo Zhao family was simply beasts. They deserved to be cut into pieces. Even dying only once was too easy for them.

But things that can be done quickly rationally will have some lag emotionally.

Tan Wenbin suspected that Zhao Mengyao was too stupid before her death, so stupid that it left a deep impression on people and indirectly affected his mood. He was so stupid that he got hurt.

"Squeak..."

The dormitory door was opened and Lin Shuyou walked in.

"Brother Bin, why are you smoking in the dormitory?"

"Brother Xiaoyuan is right."

"Then I'll have one too." Lin Shuyou walked over, took a cigarette out of the cigarette box, put it in his mouth, lit it, took a puff, and then...

"Ugh... cough cough cough!"

Tan Wenbin rolled his eyes helplessly, stood up, took the cigarette from Ayou's hand, and put out both the cigarette in his hand and his own.

"Cigarettes are not good things. If you don't know how to smoke, don't force yourself to learn."

"I just thought that you, brother Bin, were so cool when you held a cigarette and said 'sorry, I disturbed everyone' that night."

"If you get into this just to look cool, you'll feel like you've lost your mind in the future."

"Brother Bin, how do you know so much?"

"That's what my dad always said about himself."

"Oh."

"But in terms of being handsome, I think if I was holding a can of Jianlibao, taking a sip, and then burping, it would look pretty good."

Lin Shuyou thought about it carefully and nodded: "Indeed."

"Then drink the beverage. It can also replenish your sugar. No, why did you come so early?"

"I get up very early every day. When I see Brother Xiaoyuan goes out, I come in to read."

"Then you read a book. I'll lie down for a while."

"Brother Bin, you look very listless."

"I'm fine, just adjust a little."

"It's because of those two on your shoulders..."

"They were very well behaved and slept the whole time. They didn't make any noise at all."

However, this also reminded Tan Wenbin.

Perhaps, it was really because the two lamps on his shoulders were occupied by two ghost babies. Even if they were not making noise, they weakened his aura.

People with weak aura are often prone to depression, getting stuck in a rut, fighting with themselves, and losing interest in doing anything.

It seems that I really should find something to do to cheer myself up and recover.

I used to be happy alone, but now I have a family to support. Haha, I haven’t even touched my partner’s hand properly, and I have two kids to take care of.

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, I'm curious, what does this feel like?"

Tan Wenbin: "Aren't there two General Zeng? If you invite Him down, one on the left and one on the right, wouldn't you feel it?"

"I can't invite General Zeng yet."

"Have you tried it?"

"I have tried it. In the past, when I was in spirit possession, I was able to have a little response to General Zeng. I feel that within two years, I will be able to succeed.

But now, when I am in spirit possession again, there is no response at all.

Perhaps it is because I am not pious enough and my determination to fight against demons and defend the Way has slackened. "

"I think they just don't want to jump into your fire pit."

"what?"

"Don't say 'ah', go read a book." Tan Wenbin took the basin and went out to wash up, then went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast and came back to eat with Lin Shuyou.

After breakfast, Tan Wenbin lay down on the bed again. He wanted to read a book, but found that he couldn't concentrate and felt irritable.

Lin Shuyou put away his books and said, "Brother Bin, it's almost time. Today's morning class is advanced mathematics."

"You're going to class?"

"The last time I went out, I didn't get a leave note, so I was called out. If I don't go again, I won't have to go this semester and have to wait for the make-up exam in the new semester."

"Okay, I'll go to class with you. Hey, where is my advanced math book?"

When Tan Wenbin walked into the classroom, many classmates took the initiative to greet him:

"Good morning, squad leader."

"Squad leader, this is a rare guest."

"Class monitor, are you here for class as well?"

The last row was already occupied, but when they saw Tan Wenbin coming, everyone tacitly moved back and made room for the squad leader.

Lin Shuyou sat in the second to last row, in front of Tan Wenbin.

The advanced mathematics teacher is an elderly male teacher, and his voice sounds like a broadcaster speaking at three times slower speed.

As soon as he started to lecture, Tan Wenbin suddenly felt his eyelids starting to twitch.

Hiss, here it comes, that’s the feeling.

Tan Wenbin rested his head on his arms and fell asleep immediately.

When the students in the back row saw this, they all called it a miracle. The class monitor was worthy of being the class monitor and he really didn't waste any class time.

Lin Shuyou had no choice but to sit upright and help Tan Wenbin block the teacher's sight.

After the two advanced mathematics classes were over, the third and fourth classes in the morning had to change classrooms. Lin Shuyou pushed Tan Wenbin but failed. Seeing that he was sleeping so soundly, he had to stay to accompany him.

All the students left, and after a while, students for the next class came in, and they were from the Department of Economics and Management.

There were only a few girls in their class, and there were only a few boys in this class. So when a group of girls came in and saw two more boys in the class, they felt very surprised.

Everyone kept looking over here during class, making Lin Shuyou blush.

After all, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Among ordinary people, his physique and temperament are excellent. In addition, before he opened his face, he was rather shy.

Therefore, book lovers are actually very popular with the opposite sex.

If things had developed normally, he would have been single long ago.

But the problem is, since the military training at the beginning of the school year, he has been lying in bed recuperating from his injuries most of the time.

After class, several girls came over to him and wanted to chat and get to know him.

"Ah~"

After sleeping for a whole morning, Tan Wenbin felt refreshed. He stretched out his arms and stretched lazily.

I have to say, there is really a sleeping atmosphere in the classroom. You can’t sleep so soundly anywhere else.

"Brother Bin, you're awake."

"It's okay, you continue."

Tan Wenbin crossed his hair with his hands, stood up and left. It was noon, and he had to go to the hospital to complete the discharge procedures for Zhou Yunyun.

Lin Shuyou hurriedly followed out.

"Why are you coming out? I'm going to the hospital."

"Brother Bin, I'll go with you."

"Those female classmates are pretty nice, but they look a little unfamiliar. Have they learned how to dress up?"

"Brother, they are not from our class."

"Oh, no wonder. I was wondering why he didn't look familiar. But it doesn't matter. Is there no one you like?"

"No."

"So which one are you interested in?"

Lin Shuyou recalled the one that he had just fallen in love with last time, and immediately shuddered.

"Brother Bin, I think I'm still young and it's too early to consider this."

"Okay, whatever you want."

Tan Wenbin brought Lin Shuyou to the hospital. He first sent Lin Shuyou to ask when he could complete the discharge procedures, and then he went into the ward alone.

When he came in, Tan Wenbin opened his arms and said exaggeratedly: "Aha, guess who is here to see you!"

Then, Tan Wenbin saw Zhou Yunyun sitting on the hospital bed, and Zheng Fang was sitting beside the bed.

Tan Wenbin: "Ahaha, it turns out to be my dear mommy!"

Binbin walked forward and gave his mother Zheng Fang a warm hug.

Zhou Yunyun lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"Okay, you and your son both kept it a secret from me, and it was only when I went to Yunyun's school to find her that I found out that Yunyun was in the hospital."

"Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll worry?"

"You little brat, where have you been these days? Why don't you come to the hospital to take care of Yunyun?"

"The mentor's mission."

I can't say that I took some time out these days to kill the murderer who harmed Yunyun with a shovel.

Lin Shuyou walked in at this time: "Brother Bin, I asked, and now we can go through the discharge procedures. Do you want to do it? Hey, Auntie, are you... Zhou Yunyun's mother?"

Zheng Fang nodded and smiled without saying anything.

Tan Wenbin corrected: "It's my mother."

Lin Shuyou didn't understand for a moment and said, "Hey, it's progressing so fast, they both have the same mother?"

Zheng Fang laughed out loud and said, "Okay, go and get Yunyun discharged from the hospital, and call a car. Yunyun will go to my place to recuperate for a few days before returning to school. I have already made an agreement with Yunyun."

Zhou Yunyun looked at Tan Wenbin and explained, "Auntie is too enthusiastic, I..."

Tan Wenbin: "Mom, you must be so tired, I think it's better to..."

"Yunyun's parents are in Nantong, and I'm here, so what's wrong with helping take care of them? Besides, I'm willing to do any more hard work." Zheng Fang looked at Zhou Yunyun and said, "Girl, remember that I will take care of you today. When I get old and sick in the future, you have to serve me, and don't think I'm tacky."

Zhou Yunyun blushed again and lowered her head.

Tan Wenbin: "Mom, what are you talking about? Don't you have a son like me?"

Zheng Fang: "I don't trust you."

After completing the discharge procedures, Zhou Yunyun was taken to Zheng Fang's home.

Zheng Fang cooked the meal, and Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou also stayed at home for a meal.

After dinner, Zheng Fang called Tan Wenbin out alone: ​​"Mom has asked the doctor, Yunyun is fine, she was poisoned, but fortunately there are no sequelae."

"Ok, I know."

"Don't have any grudges in your heart and don't look down on others."

"what?"

"The patient is in the hospital, but you insist on running for the mentor program. Your excuses may fool Yunyun, but not your mother and me. Binbin, we can't be that Chen Shimei."

It took Tan Wenbin a long time to finally figure out his mother's thoughts. Perhaps his mother conceded that he and Zhou Yunyun had been together in high school, but they deliberately kept it a secret from their family and both chose Jinling for college.

As a result, when he saw that the person was poisoned, he just threw him into the hospital and ignored him.

"Okay, Mom, we have classes in the afternoon, so let's go back to school first, Ayou!"

"Here I come, Meige."

Tan Wenbin put his arm around Lin Shuyou's neck and carried him down the stairs.

"Brother Bin, let go, it hurts!"

"I told you to eavesdrop, I told you to eavesdrop!"

The two of them quarreled outside the community before they separated and hailed a taxi to return to school.

In the car, Lin Shuyou asked curiously, "Brother Bin, you don't have classes this afternoon."

"As planned this afternoon, Brother Xiaoyuan will help me place these two children."

Lin Shuyou: “Really looking forward to it.”

Tan Wenbin nodded and turned to look at the street view outside the car window: "Yes, I am looking forward to it too."

……

In the morning, when Li Zhuiyuan arrived at Grandma Liu's house, he stopped and stood outside for a while.

He was thawing himself.

Every time I go out and come back here, I can seem to hear the crisp sound of myself melting away in my ears.

I had this feeling before, but it was never as strong as it is now.

Looking at the bright side, the more things that can be frozen, the better they can thaw themselves out. It is the cold and heat that give us the distinct four seasons.

Earlier in the dormitory, Tan Wenbin told himself that he didn't need his comfort, because Binbin knew that this would bring him pain.

But sometimes, being able to control the painful and disgusting emotions and express those words and concerns is also a victory for yourself.

Li Zhuiyuan pushed open the gate, walked into the yard, came to the floor-to-ceiling window on the first floor, and opened the window.

A-li is acting like sleeping.

Ever since he said he wanted to experience the feeling of waiting for her to wake up, she has been cooperating like this.

This is not blind obedience, nor is it pampering, but rather the caution between two very young "patients".

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the bedside and called softly, "Ali."

The girl opened her eyes.

"It's a nice day today, shall we go for a walk on the school playground?"

The girl nodded.

She got out of bed, put on her shoes, wore a white silk pajamas, and had black hair. She was ready to go out like this.

Liu Yumei was proud of raising a lady from a noble family. In fact, A'li didn't care about these things. The reason why she didn't reject them was probably because in this way, she could just sit there and make her grandmother happy.

"Come, sit here."

The girl sat down at the dressing table.

Li Zhuiyuan opened the drawer, picked up the comb and began to comb her hair.

Once I came early and saw Liu Yumei combing A'li's hair. I sat beside her and watched, and I learned how to do it.

The girl's hair was very soft, like satin, and very comfortable to hold in the hands.

As he combed his hair, Li Zhuiyuan felt himself gradually calming down. The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, from the bottom of his heart, without any show, and he blended purely into the tranquility of the moment.

Finally, he saw the finished hairpin, which was the last trace after the big fish was burned to ashes.

The two of them don't care about whether it is lucky or unlucky, they prefer to regard it as a trophy.

Li Zhuiyuan picked up the hairpin and used it to fix A'li's hair.

Both people in the mirror smiled.

"Let me see, are there any clothes in the closet?"

Li Zhuiyuan opened the wardrobe and saw many pieces of clothing hanging inside, all of which were Hanfu styles.

The young man took out a set, put it on the bed, then walked out, pulled up the curtains, closed the floor-to-ceiling windows, and sat on the steps in the yard with his back to the room.

Not long after, the door behind him was pushed open, and Ari, who had changed her clothes, stood there.

White top and black skirt, simple yet fresh and elegant.

The two walked out of the yard hand in hand.

After they left, Uncle Qin came out from the corner with a bucket and started watering the vegetables in the yard.

Liu Yumei stood on the second-floor balcony, watching two small figures walking away hand in hand in the distance.

Aunt Liu leaned out from behind and said, "Well, it seems that we don't need to set out the vinegar dish in the morning."

Liu Yumei said nothing, but gently patted the railing with her left hand.

Seeing that the old lady was really upset, Aunt Liu quickly changed her tone and comforted her: "Isn't this what you always wanted to see?"

"Yeah, that's what I want to see."

What she has always worried about is what will happen to A-li when she is gone and she is left alone in this world.

Will A'li feel lost or uncomfortable? That's the treasure she has always held in her heart all her life and she will not tolerate any grievance.

But when the scene that made her feel at ease appeared, she couldn't help but feel lost because her sense of existence was weakened.

"So everything will be theirs from now on, so just let it go."

Liu Yumei closed her eyes and nodded.

"What would you like to eat in the morning?"

"I can't eat anymore. Make me a pot of tea."

"How can you drink tea on an empty stomach so early in the morning?"

"I have heartburn. I need to calm down."

……

There are more people on the playground at night, but very few in the early morning, especially at this time, when it is generally not time for students to get up yet.

There were only a few scattered figures on the empty playground. Li Zhuiyuan and A'li were talking as they walked, mainly him talking to her.

Although this is not a wave, it is still a story.

Unlike Tan Wenbin who had to hide things from Zhou Yunyun, Li Zhuiyuan could tell her everything exactly as it happened because she would not be scared, nor would she feel blood or discomfort.

For Ahri, these are just simple drizzles.

However, when she heard that Zhao Yi had chosen to escape by river, she grabbed the boy's hand and exerted a little force.

Those dead evil spirits, no matter how intelligent they are, have their limitations, but humans are different.

Li Zhuiyuan knew that Uncle Qin’s attempt to escape to the Yangtze River failed because of people.

Noticing the girl's worry, Li Zhuiyuan comforted her: "Don't be afraid of that. They should be afraid of me because I am even less human than them."

The girl stopped and looked at the boy.

Li Zhuiyuan also turned sideways and looked at her.

Their foreheads touched lightly and the girl smiled.

In this world, she is probably the only one who can understand this cold joke of hers.

The two continued walking. When the girl swung her arms, she exerted some force, and Li Zhuiyuan followed suit. The hands held together by the two swayed back and forth a little more exaggeratedly than before, as if to show that they were "still childish".

When they were walking and it was almost time for the students to get up and have breakfast, Li Zhuiyuan prepared to take A'li back home.

At the exit of the playground, he saw Liu Tao and Lu Anan. They had obviously seen him and had been waiting here for quite some time.

They are the president and vice president of the Physiognomy Society. The last time they were recruiting new members in the playground, Li Zhuiyuan sat in front of their booth.

Liu Tao read his fortune and made him bleed from the nose. As for Lu Anan, he taught her the finger trembling and ringing technique three times, but she seemed not to have learned it.

The two of them were holding soy milk, fried dough sticks and buns in their hands, and when Li Zhuiyuan approached, they both smiled.

However, calling him "junior" was obviously inappropriate, and calling him "senior" sounded too old-fashioned. It seemed that the two had not discussed what to address him in advance, and they were both stuck here. They just smiled and looked a little silly.

"Hello, senior, senior."

Li Zhuiyuan held Ah Li's hand with his right hand and raised his left hand to greet them

Lu Anan: "Hey, hello, fellow student and senior."

Liu Tao was stunned for a moment, then immediately followed: "Hello, senior junior."

Li Zhuiyuan: "If nothing else, I will..."

Lu Anan said, "It's like this, junior, we have a multi-school club activity next week, and there will be many physiognomists participating. We would like to invite you to join us, is that okay with you?"

"No." Li Zhuiyuan refused very straightforwardly, "But I can recommend someone. He is the monitor of Class 1 of the Freshman Water Conservancy Engineering Department. His name is Tan Wenbin. He is better at physiognomy and numerology than I am."

Liu Tao: “Really?”

Lu Anan: "Really?"

"Well, he is enthusiastic and willing to help his classmates."

After Li Zhuiyuan finished speaking, he took A-Li's hand and left.

Liu Tao looked at Lu Anan and said, "Well, let's go find that classmate Tan?"

Lu Anan mentioned breakfast: "I forgot to give them the breakfast I bought specially!"

After Li Zhuiyuan and A'li came back from their walk, they sat at the dining table and Aunt Liu served them breakfast.

"Isn't Grandma Liu coming for breakfast?"

Aunt Liu: "The old lady ate in advance and is a little full now."

"Oh, that's it."

Aunt Liu continued to joke, "Xiaoyuan, don't you want to know what the old lady secretly ate this morning?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I know, I was abrupt."

Aunt Liu suddenly felt that it was boring to chat with a child who was too smart.

After breakfast, Li Zhuiyuan spent the morning drawing blueprints in the study.

A'li was drawing, and after Li Zhuiyuan finished the drawing, A'li's painting began to take shape.

The painting shows an old courtyard with a raging fire, and the details and characters have not been painted in yet.

"Should this painting also be put into the frame book?"

Ali shook his head.

"Then just treat it as leisure entertainment."

Ali nodded.

"Ari, please take a moment to help me carve this rune."

A'li put down the brush, walked to the other end of the long table, sat down, picked up the carving knife, first picked up a tablet from the table, and shaved off two layers of palm-sized skin.

The movements are smooth and the veneer is neat, and it’s obvious that practice makes perfect.

Then, Ari began to carve the patterns.

There is a kind of talisman recorded in Wei Zhengdao’s book called the Two-Realm Talisman.

The function of this talisman is to open the Yin world on humans and the Yang world on evil spirits. Its function in the traditional sense is to help humans and ghosts communicate.

In many places, fortune tellers offer this service as part of their business, helping clients to call their deceased relatives up for a chat.

However, these two boundary symbols were modified by Li Zhuiyuan, removing the communication function and strengthening the boundary between yin and yang.

Tan Wenbin only needs to stick these two pieces of wood veneer on his shoulders to isolate humans and ghosts on his body. Although the cost of raising ghosts and shortening one's life will not change, at least the hedging effect between humans and ghosts can be minimized.

The A-li patterns are carved very quickly and with a full sense of rhythm.

Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but gesture a few times in the air to satisfy his urge.

There was no way he could understand the talismans and even modify them, but he really couldn't draw them.

There are four sets of clothes on the desk, four sets of different colors and styles, corresponding to himself, Yin Meng, Runsheng and Tan Wenbin respectively.

It is also obvious that there were drafts and polishings, and the polishing should have been done by Liu Yumei.

This dress looks really good. It is not exactly the same but has a similar style. It doesn’t look weird when worn. Some places are specially marked with lining and special designs, which is very practical.

For example, if you like to put ink in your pocket, you can put it inside the wrist button of the cuff on this piece of clothing. This way, you don’t have to put your hand into your trouser pocket when you want to press red in the future. It can be faster and more secretive.

In addition, A'li also made some key small parts that he needed. With these, he asked Runsheng to find a nearby small factory according to the drawings and add some large parts to complete the job.

The two two-world talismans were carved by A'li. Li Zhuiyuan put them away, went back and mixed some glue, and then stuck them on Tan Wenbin's shoulders.

The veneer is of excellent quality and can blend into the skin without affecting your life at all.

In fact, Li Zhuiyuan had even figured out the art of controlling ghosts, but this technique was still in its infancy and had many problems.

Although Guanjiangshou has a short history, they are an orthodox and upright family. No matter how stingy those evil spirits are, they can only drain the body of the medium. But Tan Wenbin's method of controlling ghosts is completely at the expense of one's own life.

If the balance between side effects and merits is not struck properly, then Tan Wenbin will... become younger and younger.

However, with Runsheng around, and even now there's Lin Shuyou, a temporary worker who can be deployed into the team at any time as needed, Tan Wenbin doesn't have to bear the main responsibility for frontal combat.

Then I can design some simple methods for Tan Wenbin to learn and use. This way, the consumption is low and the merits of walking on the river are more than enough.

However, moves that consume a lot of lifespan can also be taught. If you lose your life at the critical moment, then the remaining lifespan will be meaningless.

"boom!"

From upstairs, there was the sound of cups breaking.

I don’t know which kiln was broken or how many houses were taken away because of his anger.

Li Zhuiyuan was a little surprised. Could it be that Grandma Liu was still angry about what happened in the morning?
After walking out of the study and not seeing Aunt Liu, Li Zhuiyuan could only go upstairs.

Second floor room,
Li Zhuiyuan saw Aunt Liu standing beside Liu Yumei with a calm face.

Aunt Liu, who is always sweet and kind, showing such an expression is very telling.

Liu Yumei sat on a rattan chair, holding a business card with an emerald luster in her hand, and the veins on the back of her hand were exposed.

"Hahaha……

You Jiujiang Zhao, you are like an abacus bead falling on my face, you actually want to eat up my family's family!"
