Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 387

Tan Wenbin braced himself against the rock under his buttocks with one hand to prevent himself from slipping; he brought the other hand to his mouth, opened his mouth, and bit his wrist.

Xiao Yuan is right, we have to sit down first, otherwise we might really collapse on the ground and get covered in thick mud.

The physical fear was so obvious that it was almost uncontrollable.

Even though I knew from the beginning that following my brother Xiaoyuan's path would be much more difficult than following the path of others at the same time, in general, it still followed a progressive pattern.

Although there were times similar to the trip to Fengdu, where one was involved in a confrontation on the level of a Bodhisattva and an Emperor, one could still survive in the cracks, provided that one could find a crack.

With Brother Xiaoyuan around, they can not only find the gaps early on, but also actively dig the gaps even bigger and extract more benefits from them.

But this time was different. Xiao Yuan's previous explanation was to better convey the message to Ayou and Runsheng, but the final conclusion was quite concise.

The giant tortoise will land in Qidong and then in Nantong.

Without hesitation or second-guessing, it was willing to pay a huge price just to kill the person it wanted to kill.

When such a being stares intently at you, and is directly crushing you, even if you try to raise your head slightly to look at the night sky, you can feel every inch of your flesh, from your chest to your neck to your face, being pulled and stopped, as if if you really look up, you will suddenly meet those terrifying eyes in the night sky.

On the other hand, Tan Wenbin's wrist had been bitten until it bled, and some of the blood dripped into the puddles on the ground, while some swirled in his lips, staining his teeth red.

This is psychological excitement.

That damn turtle is really coming!
He finally had a chance to take revenge.

Even though the probability of successfully taking revenge is currently extremely low, Tan Wenbin still feels incredibly excited and thrilled.

Because of Li Lan, Li Zhuiyuan had extensive experience being studied as a mental patient.

Therefore, Li Zhuiyuan always knew that Zheng Haiyang was not only a problem in Tan Wenbin's heart, but that Tan Wenbin had actually developed a mental illness after witnessing the tragic death of Zheng Haiyang's family in front of him.

That night, Tan Wenbin chased after the tricycle, shouting, "Zhuangzhuang wants to go back to Grandpa Li's house too!"

Rather than saying that Tan Wenbin was obsessed with avenging Zheng Haiyang, it would be more accurate to say that Tan Wenbin could no longer continue to live the life of an ordinary person under the identity of "Tan Wenbin".

If he chooses the latter, then his final destination is Jiuhua Mountain, which is often mentioned by people in Nantong... There is a mental hospital there.

Tan Wenbin just disguised it very well, or rather, he always defined his mental illness as his unbreakable bond with Zheng Haiyang, his classmate and buddy.

Li Zhuiyuan stood up. The rain gradually subsided. He closed his umbrella and stood there, waiting for Tan Wenbin.

Finally, Tan Wenbin regained some composure, and the physical and psychological "spasms" subsided. Looking at the deep wound on his wrist from where he had bitten himself and the blood still seeping out, he looked somewhat embarrassed at Li Zhuiyuan and said:
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiaoyuan, I've embarrassed you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I envy you for having such a strong ability to express your emotions."

Tan Wenbin felt even more embarrassed and immediately stood up. "Brother Xiao Yuan has already started comforting you about your mental health issues. How can you still be so pretentious?"

Li Zhuiyuan turned and walked home, with Tan Wenbin following behind.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, this wave has hit Nantong and right on our doorstep. Does that mean our family... has a reason to help us?"

Li Zhuiyuan stopped and looked back at the intersection of the road and the village road behind him.

"So now you know why Li Lan just stood there and didn't go into the village, right?"

Tan Wenbin: "So that's how it is. It seems that the big turtle's eyesight is really not good. Auntie didn't enter the village and didn't see the people and things in the village. So for the big turtle, when it came here... if its memories also merged with Auntie's, it would mean that the Siyuan Village in the big turtle's perception is still the same as when Auntie brought her fiancé back many years ago."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Heaven does not allow the forces behind the lamp-lighters to provide them with subjective assistance after the lamp is lit; therefore, families and sects with a strong foundation have a set of customs to treat the lamp-lighters of each generation in their family."

Tan Wenbin: "Just like Zhao Yi and Chen Xiyuan did before lighting the lamp, they said that once a daughter is married, she is like water spilled from a cup, but on the other hand, they did their best to prepare the most lavish dowry for their 'daughter'."

Li Zhuiyuan: "So the simplest way is for us to keep quiet about this wave of news. When that day really comes, we can even hide and not come out."

In this way, everyone in the village can spontaneously and normally take action to ward off evil spirits without worrying about karmic repercussions.

At the very least, like in the Yu family's wave, didn't those old men also take action?

Although many elderly people like Xu Fengzhi deliberately did not seek treatment after that battle, choosing to die first, the two from the Dragon King's family simply went into seclusion and isolated themselves from worldly affairs after returning home.

The giant turtle wave was so straight and the water was so strong that it was heading straight for Nantong Village. We didn't just decide to hide here for shelter; we've always lived here.

This in itself provides us with a great deal of room for maneuver.

Tan Wenbin didn't reply. He just silently took out his cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette that had gotten wet in the car, put it in his mouth, then took out a piece of yellow paper, flicked it to light it, and placed it under the cigarette to heat it.

In the blink of an eye, the entire cigarette was burned to ashes.

Tan Wenbin thought to himself: I actually believed that nimble fingers and practice makes perfect.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Also, I have some good news to tell you, which Li Lan told me: the goal of completing the next wave."

Tan Wenbin was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Did Auntie leak the exam questions?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "What was leaked was not just the question, but the answer."

Leaked questions refer to the specific opponents and challenges you will ultimately face in a wave of challenges.

The answer is that you only need to achieve a minimum score to complete this wave, although the percentage of Heavenly Merit you receive after completing a wave will not be very high.

Tan Wenbin knew that if it were a matter of "it's either you or me" when facing an existence like the giant tortoise, then Brother Xiaoyuan wouldn't have even mentioned it.

Bringing this up means that there is a minimum passing grade below this.

Anyone who has been to university knows that the difficulty and effort required to get high scores and win scholarships is worlds apart from simply passing grades.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Li Lan asked me today to act as her mother and son for 24 hours, and I agreed. Guess why the car broke down?"

Tan Wenbin: "Was I driving too fast?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Well, in the end, she and I held an umbrella and walked slowly together. When we reached the village entrance, our performance lasted exactly twelve hours."

Then she turned and left.

The play must eventually be finished.

The remaining twelve hours are the time limit for the giant tortoise to reach the village entrance and attack me.

Tan Wenbin: "Brother Xiaoyuan, did you and your son always communicate like this when you were at home?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "She's been rambling on a lot today, reminding me several times. Maybe she feels she's become dumber after getting better, or maybe she feels that my condition is under control and she's become dumber."

Tan Wenbin: "So, all we need to do is figure out a way to avoid the giant tortoise's twelve-hour pursuit, and we'll get through this wave, this crisis?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "It has already gone all out, but it cannot afford to pay an infinitely high price. However, even so, our chances of winning... no, we should call it our survival rate, are still very low."

This is the most difficult wave we have experienced so far, with the lowest survival rate.

Tan Wenbin took out another damp cigarette and put it in his mouth, purely to satisfy his craving.

"Haha, Brother Yuan, actually, if you think about it from another perspective, the moment that giant turtle decided to come ashore, it was bound to pay a huge price. Regardless of whether I survived in the end, I've avenged the ocean!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "That's all for now. Tell them to keep it a secret later."

Tan Wenbin: "Runsheng is definitely fine. As for Ayou, others might notice something amiss, but it's not a big problem. Even Zhao Yi wouldn't be able to see that this wave could be so exaggerated."

Li Zhuiyuan nodded, took out a piece of yellow paper, dried Tan Wenbin's cigarette, and lit it.

Tan Wenbin held the fluttering yellow paper in his hands, waiting for it to fall and scatter, treating it as a courtesy of someone shielding him from the wind when someone lit his cigarette.

Li Zhuiyuan left the village road and turned into a small path.

Tan Wenbin stood there, supporting his back, and took a couple more puffs of his cigarette.

He knew Xiao Yuan very well. It was only right that Xiao Yuan asked him to inform Runsheng and Lin Shuyou about this matter. However, Tan Wenbin felt that Xiao Yuan's request for secrecy was not for the purpose of making it easier to use the power of these "people" living in the village in the future.

Admittedly, the aunt chose what she considered a safe place for her son.

But Brother Xiao Yuan probably doesn't want to burn the last bit of firewood from the Qin and Liu families here for his own sake.

Tan Wenbin took one last deep drag of his cigarette, exhaled it through his nostrils, and threw the cigarette butt into a puddle on the ground. But then, out of habit, he stomped on it, splashing mud all over his trousers with a "plop."

"Brother Yuan didn't even tell me this..."

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the courtyard of his house, looked up, and saw that A Li was still sitting on the second-floor terrace.

She was wearing a green dress and holding a white floral paper umbrella.

Since I left home this morning, Ah Li has been sitting here, waiting for me to come back.

Li Zhuiyuan went upstairs and came to A Li.

Ah Li put down the umbrella and looked down at the boy's hand.

Li Zhuiyuan opened his palms and presented them to the girl for examination.

Ah Li looked up at the boy, two dimples appearing on her face.

Li Zhuiyuan reached out and shook the girl's hand, then touched her face; it was cold from the rain and wind here for so long.

Liu Yumei is currently living at Liu Jinxia's house.

Uncle Qin would not go upstairs alone to face Ah Li without permission.

The only thing Aunt Liu could do was probably to bring her an umbrella when it rained; there was no way she could persuade A-Li to stop.

Ah Li squatted down and picked up two cans of Jianlibao from under the rattan chair.

The beverage can was covered with a layer of water, and leaves were also stuck to the can.

Ah Li first removed the leaves, then poured out the water from the jar, and took out her handkerchief to wipe it clean.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Shouldn't we be drinking some ginger soup to warm ourselves up at this time?"

Ah Li stopped what she was doing and looked down at the kitchen.

Seeing this, Li Zhuiyuan immediately said, "I don't like that drink. I'm hungry anyway, let's go make some wontons."

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses; Ah Li can't cook.

He asked her to go down and make ginger soup, but Li Zhuiyuan was worried that the girl would later bring him a big bowl of water stewed with a few whole old gingers on top.

Then I'll have to drink it with a smile on my face.

Life doesn't have to be tough if you don't suffer.

Li Zhuiyuan led A Li downstairs and happened to run into Tan Wenbin waking Runsheng and Ayou from their coffins.

Both of them participated in the temple's reconstruction today, and both of them expended a lot of energy.

Runsheng: "Let Ayou sleep, I'll go push the cart."

Runsheng went out with Xiaoyuan in the morning and didn't work a full day.

Lin Shuyou nodded and then lay down again.

Let alone a small pickup truck, even a locomotive, Runsheng could pull back by himself.

Before he could even finish lying down, Lin Shuyou was lifted up again by Tan Wenbin.

"Brother Bin..."

"Walk."

"understand!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I'll cook you some late-night snacks."

Tan Wenbin: "No need, I'll take them to the school gate in Shigang Town to eat some fried skewers first. After they've eaten and drunk their fill, I'll push the car back to help them digest."

At this hour, only the shops near the middle school are still open in town.

After entering the kitchen, Li Zhuiyuan first poured water into the pot and then lit the stove. Then he poured oil into the pot next to him to prepare to fry a few eggs.

Ah Li stood by the stove, carefully watching the process.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Ali, you can just sit there and wait."

The girl gripped the hem of her skirt with her fingertips, her head slightly lowered, and remained still.

"Then I'll go start the fire. Once the water boils, you can put all the wontons in."

Ah Li nodded.

After setting the fried eggs aside, Li Zhuiyuan sat behind the stove. The fire in the stove was strong enough that he didn't need to watch over it.

Through the specially carved-out hollow between the two stoves, you can see Ah Li standing in front of the pot, holding a plate of wontons and intently watching the small bubbles on the surface of the water.

This scene reminded me of how I used to try drawing talismans.

However, when it comes to cooking skills, it depends on who you compare yourself to. Even if Ah Li can't cook, her cooking skills are still much better than Yin Meng's.

Thinking of Yin Meng, Li Zhuiyuan recalled the image of the Fengdu Emperor that had been torn by the wind on the windshield of the car earlier.

The west room where Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu lived was next to the kitchen.

At this moment, Uncle Qin was lying on the bed, his back covered in blood. Under the bed was a wooden basin filled with the blood that Aunt Liu had just extracted from him using leeches.

After the life centipede on Uncle Qin's body began to transform into a dragon, the original balance between his body and the seal was constantly broken, which meant that Aunt Liu had to help him with conditioning every now and then.

Uncle Qin: "Go to the kitchen and prepare a midnight snack for Xiaoyuan and Ali."

Aunt Liu: "Oh, you're such a blockhead."

The wontons are cooked.

Two bowls were placed on the small dining table in the kitchen.

Just as the two sat down facing each other to start eating, a white, ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind the boy.

This is a starving ghost.

Chen Xiyuan: "I'm hungry~"

Li Zhuiyuan gave her his bowl and then went to make wontons again.

The stove fire was still burning, and the water in the pot was still boiling. Li Zhuiyuan carefully put all the small wontons that Aunt Liu had prepared in advance into the pot, one tray at a time.

Chen Xiyuan: "It's delicious! The taste is exactly the same as what my sister makes."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It was made by Aunt Liu."

Chen Xiyuan: "I was referring to the seasonings, which were all exactly the same."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Is there?"

Chen Xiyuan: "Please believe my words."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Don't run around like this so late at night, it's easy to scare people." Chen Xiyuan shook her head and swept her long hair to both sides: "I didn't want to either, but I was ordered around by Zhao Yi all day. I'll go back, take a shower, and fall asleep as soon as I lie down in bed."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Didn't you have dinner?"

Chen Xiyuan: "I ate it."

Li Zhuiyuan: "There's no water left at home, and we're out of noodles too."

Chen Xiyuan: "I ate all of these. My older sister made Chongqing noodles for me."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's just that you don't usually eat as much as you want. Otherwise, as a music teacher, you don't have to extend class time, and you're always the first one to go to the cafeteria, so all the teachers and students in the school would go hungry."

Chen Xiyuan looked at A Li, who was sitting opposite her and drinking soup with a spoon, with some surprise, and asked:

"Little brother, you seem to be in a good mood today. What good thing happened?"

Ah Li didn't answer and continued drinking her soup.

Seeing one's mother should be a happy occasion, but here it's an exception.

Chen Xiyuan was familiar with A Li's personality and wasn't angry at all. After quickly finishing what was in her bowl, she continued to look forward to what was in the pot.

In the end, Li Zhuiyuan ate half a bowl of wontons and drank more soup.

Chen Xiyuan, still wanting more, asked, "Where did Tan Wenbin and the others go?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "The car broke down on the road, and they went to push it."

Chen Xiyuan: "Oh, I see. Then we'll have to wait until tomorrow. I was thinking of inviting them to have a late-night snack by the river again. That white rat's cooking skills are really good."

"It's a pity it's your pet. If it were wild, I'd love to catch it and take it back to Hainan to be a snack for my grandpa."

"You can talk to it; it's probably used to working odd jobs everywhere."

Chen Xiyuan nodded and laughed, "It's hilarious! After you left this morning, Zhao Yi wanted Tan Wenbin to go to your bedroom to get that internal reference book. He had just made the arrangements when Tan Wenbin was called away by you with a single phone call, haha."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I'll go up and get it for you now, you can copy it down."

Chen Xiyuan: "No way, using my brain before bed can cause hair loss."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Then give it to Zhao Yi tomorrow morning and have him make two copies. You can choose one from them."

Chen Xiyuan: "Great idea!"

Li Zhuiyuan took A Li to Cuicui's house.

Chen Xiyuan led the person directly to the balcony and opened the door.

As the boy walked out, Ah Li stood on the balcony, gazing at his retreating figure for a very long time.

Since returning today, the boy has not told her what happened, as he usually does.

After returning home, Li Zhuiyuan took a shower and went back to his room.

Instead of going to bed, he took out the "Code of Conduct for Walking Along the River".

Knowing that Zhao Yi and Chen Xiyuan would see this book tomorrow morning, the boy pushed it aside and took out the "Secret Scroll of Tracing Away the Past".

Start on a separate page and write:
"Li Lan didn't join the Xuanmen sect, so she didn't incur any special targeting from the Heavenly Dao?"

Turning to the next page, Li Zhuiyuan continued writing:
“I studied physiognomy and fortune telling. I analyzed cause and effect in the river. I tried to dig a canal to divert water. I also poured water on the ground to see where it would flow next.”

But I still don't believe that a person's fate is predetermined, nor do I believe that the future can be predicted with 100% certainty.

Physiognomy and fortune telling are both data analyses accumulated by our predecessors over generations.

Liangliang doesn't believe in fate, nor does he believe the future is predetermined.

All his predictions about the future are based on a deep understanding of the laws governing the development of objective things.

Therefore,
Who gave me that dream I had in the high school principal's office?
And who is it?
"Can I have the same dream as that big tortoise?"

Li Zhuiyuan turned his head to look at the dark night sky outside the window.

When the lantern on the river caught fire before it was lit, Li Zhuiyuan realized that it had been watching him all along.

original,

When I took out the first book written by Wei Zhengdao from my great-grandfather's basement, it was already setting up a trap for me.

It's reasonable, yet utterly absurd.

"What exactly did Wei Zhengdao do to you back then?"

"You actually rushed to link a kid who's only read a few sets of martial arts encyclopedias with that giant turtle from the East Sea?"

During the day in the car, Li Lan, impressed by her son's confidence, remarked on how confident he was, having expressed her approval of the second painting so early on.

But the truth is,

The way Heaven trusts in one's own abilities is truly absurdly high.

Li Zhuiyuan turned to another page and wrote on it:
"Wei Zhengdao, did you have a big turtle to play with when you were a kid?"

……

The next morning, Li Zhuiyuan woke up and prepared to wash up before going to Cui Cui's house to pick up A Li.

Holding a washbasin, toothbrush, and mug, Li Zhuiyuan had just stepped out of the room when he spotted Zhao Yi squatting by the vegetable patch below the dam, his body hunched over, covered in dirt, smoking a cigarette rolled in white paper.

This looks exactly like a poor migrant worker coming to the foreman's house, wanting to get back the hard-earned money owed to him.

Seeing Li Zhuiyuan come out, Zhao Yi turned to the side, looked up, and raised his hand to greet him: "Good morning, Ancestor!"

Then, he stuck out his tongue and licked the edge of the white paper, squeezed the cigarette together, and took a deep sniff.

He took out a match from his pocket and pulled one out.

"Crack!"

After striking the match several times, it finally lit. He immediately put his mouth to light the cigarette and then vigorously shook his arm to extinguish it.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Come on up."

The boy turned around and went back into the house.

It should have been given long ago, but the reason it hasn't been given yet is mainly because Zhao Yi "had too good manners" and pretended to be refined in the early stages.

With a cigarette dangling from his lips, Zhao Yi rushed up the dam, into the house, and upstairs.

Now he realized he couldn't keep up the act any longer. This guy surnamed Li was just one job after another, and he could never finish it all!

If he doesn't get his hands on the insider information soon, he wouldn't be surprised if Li told him to go fishing for turtles in the East China Sea.

Upon reaching the room door, Li Zhuiyuan came out again and handed the "Code of Conduct for Walking the River" to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi first wiped his hands on his dirty clothes, getting his originally clean hands dirty, before solemnly accepting the book with both hands.

With this, and by understanding it, you can gain a deeper understanding of the rules for navigating the river, making your efforts twice as effective!
At that time, I won't have to worry about anything else. I can live a carefree and peaceful life, accumulating a lot of merit, while slowly sipping a cup of tea and waiting for the day when the bad news comes that someone surnamed Li choked to death on a beverage.

Zhao Yi: "Hey Li, does giving me this book mean you already have something better?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "No."

Zhao Yi: "I don't believe it."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You've got the stuff. Now, you can pack up and take your men back to Jiujiang."

Zhao Yi: "It seems a bit inappropriate to just get this and then turn around and leave, doesn't it?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "By the way, make two copies of this book, one for Chen Xiyuan."

Zhao Yi: "No, she actually has it too?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Mm."

Zhao Yi: "Hey Li, I've been injured for you, I've bled for you, why? This isn't fair!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "She was rich. She lit lamps and walked along the riverbank. The cave that the Dragon King's family had prepared for her, she gave it all to me."

Zhao Yi: "So what if you have money? You think you can do whatever you want? Brother Xiao Yuan, can I take a look at those scraps you don't want in the cave and take them with me?"

Li Zhuiyuan carried the basin to the water vat and began brushing his teeth.

Zhao Yi followed: "You know, I used to be quite well-off, but now I've fallen to the point where I'm only a little richer than you. Tell me how pathetic that is."
Besides, my Zhao family of Jiujiang is far inferior to the legitimate Dragon King family. The things the legitimate Dragon King family prepares for their successors...tsk, just thinking about it makes my mouth water."

Seeing that Li Zhuiyuan finished brushing his teeth and then washed his face, without responding to his words.

Zhao Yi had no choice but to raise his voice and say, "Hey Li, just pretend you're the landlord and I'm the tenant. I'm asking you for some grain in advance. At worst, you, the landlord, will have to come back thirteen times out of nine!"

"What landlord?" Li Sanjiang came out of the room. "Pah, pah, pah, landlords are executed. It's bad luck so early in the morning."

Li Zhuiyuan went to Cuicui's house, and Zhao Yi came along with him.

“Hey Li, I’d like to stay here a little longer, keep Lao Tian company, and also keep my godmother company. If I have any questions while reading, I can come and ask you right away.”

"up to you."

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

They'll realize it themselves eventually.

When we arrived at Cuicui's house, we walked onto the dam.

The wooden radio hanging on the wall is playing the weather news.

"Listeners, according to the weather forecast, the fifth typhoon of this year formed in the Northwest Pacific Ocean at 2:5 AM yesterday..."

Li Zhuiyuan stopped in his tracks.

it,
We've set off.

Ah Li was still getting ready in the living room.

Liu Jinxia came out with two steamed buns: "Young Master Yuan, quickly try the steamed buns that your Granny Juxiang just steamed. This one is filled with pickled vegetables, and this one is filled with shredded radish."

"Oh dear, Marquis Yi, what has become of you!"

Liu Jinxia quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Yi's dirty, torn clothes:
"I told you to buy me less stuff and spend less money, how did it turn out like this?"

As she spoke, Liu Jinxia reached into her pocket, but found nothing.

"Wait here, inside, I'll get you the money."

"Oh, Grandma, no need, no need. I dressed like this today because someone owes me money, and I came to collect the debt, so I dressed like this on purpose."

"They're already coming to collect the debt, so you must be out of money. Let me give you some to keep in your pocket for a while."

Liu Jinxia insisted on going in, and Zhao Yi could only smile wryly, unable to stop her.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood; he could tell that, after his efforts over this period of time, Liu Jinxia had accepted him.

At this moment, Cui Cui rubbed her eyes, walked out of the room, and came to the second-floor balcony, looking like she hadn't had enough sleep.

She opened her eyes, looked around, and asked in confusion:
"Hey, where's the wind?"

Zhao Yi looked up at Cuicui and asked, "What's wrong, little sister?"

"I had a dream last night, the wind was so strong and the rain was so heavy~"

Zhao Yi: "I get it, I definitely wet the bed!"

Cui Cui's face flushed red instantly, and she said to Zhao Yi downstairs in an annoyed tone:
"Brother Yihou is so mean! I'm ignoring you now. From now on, I'll only acknowledge Brother Yuanhou!"

Li Zhuiyuan and A Li held hands, each holding a steamed bun in their other hand, as they walked home, eating as they went.

After arriving home, they had some porridge, which made breakfast complete. Li Zhuiyuan told A Li to go upstairs to her room to do some crafts, while he went to the temple that had been renovated the day before.

The groundwork has been completed; now all that's left is to debug it, which isn't difficult.

Zhao Yi was forced to accept Liu Jinxia's money and was made to stay there for breakfast. When he walked to Li Sanjiang's house, he saw Ayou sitting there, picking at the porridge in front of him with his chopsticks, looking absent-minded.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Lin Shuyou immediately shook his head: "It's nothing, nothing at all."

Zhao Yi: "Something big has happened?"

Lin Shuyou: "No, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhao Yi: "You still have to keep it from me?"

Lin Shuyou: "Three eyes, aren't you annoying?!"

Zhao Yi reached out and patted Ayou on the shoulder, comforting him:

"Oh, it's no big deal. It's just that the love letter thing got out."

Lin Shuyou: "..."

Inside the dojo.

Li Zhuiyuan completed all the debugging and setup. It can only be said that Zhao Yi is definitely a qualified supervisor.

However, the dojo used to be my most private and safe place, but now it can no longer give me much of a sense of security.
