Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

"I'm going out."

Shen Qingzhou decided to leave early. He prepared to go out after lunch because he needed to go to the orphanage to pick up his car.

"it is good."

Jiang Xinyue saw him to the door.

Shen Qingzhou, a cigarette dangling from his lips, staggered down the stairs, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

Jiang Xinyue's gaze seemed off just now. She glanced back, but he had already turned the corner and was no longer in sight.

Never mind all that, Shen Qingzhou went straight downstairs.

When they arrived at the welfare home, it was Aunt Cui who opened the door for them again.

Everyone was very well-behaved today, doing their homework in the corridor, except for Dai Dai, who rode a little tricycle around the sycamore tree, making a creaking sound.

Shen Qingzhou glanced at the children and said to Aunt Cui, "It's not good for them to stay at home every day during the summer vacation. You aunties can discuss it and see if you can take the children out to play. You can ask Accountant Jiang for the money. I will talk to her."

"That's fine. We can prepare some food ourselves and go for a walk around the area. It shouldn't cost much," Aunt Cui said shrewdly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhou paused in his steps, turned around, and said, "Why don't you guys join a tour group? You're all busy all year round and don't have time to go out. You can take a trip while you're at it, consider it a perk."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Cui's face first lit up with surprise, but then she hesitated.

"The orphanage has finally become a little better off, and you've brought so many high-end appliances today. They must have cost a lot of money, right? You can't spend them recklessly. Just enjoy the nearby places," Aunt Cui said.

This is also what Shen Qingzhou likes most about these aunties; they always put the welfare home first.

However, Shen Qingzhou did not continue to talk about this with Aunt Cui. Instead, she prepared to inform Accountant Jiang and ask her to make the arrangements.

Just then, my calf was lightly bumped.

Looking down, he saw that Dai Dai was looking up at him.

Shen Qingzhou reached out and picked her up, put her aside, and then bent over and rode on her little tricycle.

"Hehe, let me have some fun..."

Although Shen Qingzhou's legs were too long to reach the pedals and he could only move with two feet, his enthusiasm remained undiminished.

She stared blankly as Shen Qingzhou rode off on her bike, and it took her a while to react.

"oh oh?"

She stared in surprise, looked around, grabbed Aunt Cui's hand, pointed at Shen Qingzhou in the distance, and complained to her.

"Bad brother," she said.

Aunt Cui smiled and patted her head, saying, "Grandma will help you get it back."

But at this moment, Daidai had already let go of Aunt Cui's hand and was chasing after Shen Qingzhou with her short legs.

She raised her arms high, her face full of anger, "Bad brother, you hit...hit..."

"Come on, come on..." Shen Qingzhou circled around the sycamore tree.

The children doing their homework in the hallway all laughed when they saw this.

Daidai ran to the left, and Shen Qingzhou rode to the right; Daidai ran to the right, and Shen Qingzhou rode to the left. Daidai was so angry that his cheeks turned red, and he shouted loudly, as if he really wanted to punch his brother to death.

Aunt Cui was about to go over and help when she saw Song Xueying, who was doing her homework in the corridor, put down her pen and stand up first.

"Daidai, I'll help you."

With Song Xueying taking the lead, the children all put down their homework to help Daidai.

Some stood in front of Shen Qingzhou, while others blocked her from behind, and Shen Qingzhou was instantly surrounded.

Some grabbed his arms, some hugged his legs, and some pounced on his back, pulling him backward...

In an instant, Shen Qingzhou was covered in children.

"Hia~"

Once she realized what was happening, Daidai grinned from ear to ear, a drool dangling from her mouth before she quickly sucked it back in. She then pulled up her pants and happily joined the crowd.

Shen Qingzhou was worried about hurting the children, so she didn't dare to use too much force and was quickly knocked to the ground by the group of little ones.

Some held down his hands, some held down his legs, and some even tried to sit on Shen Qingzhou's head with their buttocks. They all put in their best effort and used every ounce of strength they had.

"Come quick, Daidai! We've held your brother down for you. Come and get revenge!"

"Hia~"

Although Daidai was a bit slow and her movements were all delayed, everyone tacitly waited for her, including Shen Qingzhou who was pinned to the ground.

So Daidai rushed up and plopped down on Shen Qingzhou's stomach, where the spot was empty, as if it had been reserved specifically for her.

"You naughty boy~" Daidai stretched out her little hand and pinched Shen Qingzhou's nose.

"Ouch, ouch, I beg for mercy..." Shen Qingzhou shook her head vigorously, refusing to let her pinch her.

Aunt Cui stood aside watching with a smile, neither going forward to help nor scolding the children.

-----------------

Shen Qingzhou arrived in Huaqiao Town around four o'clock in the afternoon and saw Yang Xiaoyong standing at the breakfast stall he had been at the day before, looking around from afar.

At this time of year, the town is unusually deserted, with few pedestrians on the streets. It's also early July, the hottest time of the year, making it even sparsely populated; even dogs don't want to go out.

Yang Xiaoyong kept fanning himself with his sun hat and occasionally glanced at the watch on his wrist.

He was a little worried that Shen Qingzhou would run away with the money, since the money was deposited into the welfare organization's account. Even if the police were to file a case and investigate, it would be very troublesome, since there was no evidence and it was not convenient to bring what they had done into the open.

He only breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down when he saw Shen Qingzhou's car.

"Here...here..." Yang Xiaoyong waved his arms excitedly.

Shen Qingzhou drove the car directly to his side, and Yang Xiaoyong didn't stand on ceremony, opening the car door and getting in.

"This awful weather, it's so hot!" Yang Xiaoyong kept fanning himself.

Hearing him mention ghosts, Shen Qingzhou couldn't help but think of the man riding on his neck again. He still hadn't seen him. Had he left? Or had the matter been resolved?

Shen Qingzhou still didn't ask, but instead asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Drive straight ahead to Linjiatun," Yang Xiaoyong said.

"Linjiatun?"

As if worried that Shen Qingzhou might find the journey too far, Yang Xiaoyong took the initiative to explain: "Yes, Linjiatun. Lin Chongli's home is not in the town, but in Linjiatun down below. It's not far, only about half an hour by car."

Shen Qingzhou didn't waste any words and said directly, "I don't know the way, can you give me directions?"

"No navigation... uh."

Then he noticed that this beat-up car really didn't have a GPS.

Shen Qingzhou could have used his phone, but he was too lazy to take it out.

Yang Xiaoyong was just mentioning it casually; the road was easy to drive on. He only needed to give a reminder at a few intersections and then drive straight ahead.

They arrived near Linjiatun even earlier than Yang Xiaoyong had predicted, in less than twenty minutes.

"Once you cross this bridge, you'll see Linjiatun on the other side."

"That's what Yang Xiaoyong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said."

But Shen Qingzhou stopped the car at the bridgehead.

"What's wrong? The car stalled?" Yang Xiaoyong asked, somewhat surprised.

"What's the name of this bridge?"

Shen Qingzhou stared at the bluestone bridge in front of him and asked.

The bridge has no fancy decorations; it looks like an ordinary stone bridge, but it is covered with the marks of time and looks quite old.

At both ends of the bridge, there are also many peach and willow trees planted.

"We all call it the Stone Slab Bridge, but I don't know its exact name," Yang Xiaoyong said.

After listening, Shen Qingzhou immediately pushed open the door and got out of the car.

Yang Xiaoyong followed Shen Qingzhou down onto the bridge and asked curiously, "What are you doing? Is there something wrong with this bridge?"

"It's nothing, just taking a look," Shen Qingzhou said without turning her head.

As soon as you step onto the bridge, even though the sun is high in the sky, you can feel a cool breeze; the temperature on the bridge is noticeably several degrees lower.

Shen Qingzhou walked straight to the center of the bridge, where he saw a coin-shaped hole in the middle. Through the hole, he could see the river flowing gently below.

Yang Xiaoyong arrived beside Shen Qingzhou at some point, and he, too, curiously peered down.

"What's down there? Or is there some story behind this cave?" Yang Xiaoyong asked curiously.

"This is the Soul-Illuminating Hole," Shen Qingzhou said.

"What?" Yang Xiaoyong didn't hear clearly because of the sound of the river.

"It's nothing, let's go." Shen Qingzhou turned around and walked away.

"Hey, wait for me..."

Yang Xiaoyong quickly chased after him.
