Chapter 153: : | Vớt Thi Nhân
Vớt Thi Nhân - Updated on May 15, 2025
Li Chase Far fell into a deep sleep.
Based on seniority and strength, Run Sheng was undoubtedly the undisputed second in the team, but Run Sheng didn’t like to manage affairs and knew he wasn’t good at it.
Therefore, the temporary command of the team naturally fell to Tan Wenbin.
The General had already gone up.
Tan Wenbin was the “eight thousand years old” here.
So, at this moment, Binbin was the true person in charge of the entire underground environment.
Tan Wenbin let Run Sheng continue carrying Little Far Brother and stay put, while he, Lin Shuyou, and Yin Meng, led by Gan Dad and Little Wang Eunuch, wandered around inside the palace.
They called it “searching for more background information for the ‘Chase Far Secret Volume’.”
The real purpose was to intentionally delay a bit of time.
Little Far Brother’s speech before fainting was essentially a statement to absolve himself of responsibility.
“Driving a wolf to swallow a tiger” was originally a taboo action. What was feared most was an extremely bloody scene, and there was no need to rush and step into a pool of blood.
However, there was really nothing to see in this palace.
Its existence was originally to suppress the General. Even the Grand Eunuch was buried in such a hurry; it was impossible to leave detailed and complete burial goods. Even if there were some, they had already been destroyed cleanly by several waves of looters.
Tan Wenbin took out his camera from his bag and casually took some photos.
Anyway, they were already here.
Tan Wenbin simply signaled Lin Shuyou and Yin Meng to each find a better background so he could take photos of them as souvenirs.
Lin Shuyou only made foolish peace signs and smiled with standard exposed teeth.
Yin Meng, on the other hand, posed some postures. It had to be said, she was quite photogenic.
Although she played an irreplaceable role in this outing – after all, without her, there wouldn’t have been that banquet – in reality, she didn’t suffer any hardship throughout.
Her good condition, coupled with her naturally fair skin, matched with the surrounding dim and dilapidated background, made it look very much like shooting a “Tomb Raider” movie.
He handed the camera to Ayou, asking him to help take a few photos of himself.
In one of the photos, Tan Wenbin specially invited Gan Dad to the center, while he and Little Wang Eunuch stood on either side of Gan Dad.
The Grand Eunuch and Little Wang Eunuch imitated the previous Lin Shuyou and made peace signs.
Lin Shuyou raised the camera, then put it down, raised it again, and put it down again.
In the camera lens, he couldn’t see the Grand Eunuch and Little Wang Eunuch at all.
Tan Wenbin urged, “Quickly take it, ah, we are all waiting.”
“But, Bin Brother…”
“Just take as I say.” Tan Wenbin smiled at the Grand Eunuch beside him, “Alas, this little brother of mine has had no eyesight since he was young.”
The Grand Eunuch nodded and said, “Indeed, he is not suitable to enter the palace as an eunuch. You, Little Binzi, are suitable.”
Lin Shuyou understood something and raised the camera again, starting to direct:
“Move a little further, yes, yes, yes. Bin Brother, raise your hand a little more, move it to the side a little more, yes, yes, yes, just like this, hold it, one, two, three!”
“Click!”
When this photo was developed, only Tan Wenbin was destined to be inside.
But the meaning of a photo was originally here: it froze a moment, but in the brain, the dynamic scene at that time could emerge.
Later, when he saw this photo, the two people beside him would also emerge.
However, if he put this photo at home and let his old mom see it, he feared she would think he had sneaked into Beijing and secretly entered Yuanmingyuan in the dark.
After taking the photos, this temporary outing activity also ended.
As he put away the camera, Tan Wenbin involuntarily understood the meaning of learning to paint. A paintbrush could paint things outside of reality.
It was a pity he didn’t have Little Far Brother’s painting skills, otherwise he could personally make one. At least he could make a posthumous portrait for Gan Dad and Little Wang Eunuch.
Returning to the edge of the giant pit, Run Sheng was sitting there, Little Far Brother still on his back. He was unwilling to put him down, feeling uneasy.
Tan Wenbin stopped and took out the camera again to take a photo of them.
After taking it, Binbin waved his hand and softly shouted, “Let’s go, we should go up.”
They exited through the back of the banquet hall, everyone climbed the slope again, passed through the banquet hall, and came to the waterfall in the back.
Xiong Shan and Li Hua, the couple, were unexpectedly waiting here.
Perhaps they also felt that there was no point in going up early. After going up, would they help the three enemies fight the General or help the General fight the enemies?
Tan Wenbin licked his lips. This couple, ever since Little Far Brother said he would send that child to an orphanage, lost their chance to die. They seemed to have most of their spirit drawn away, with an appearance of life having lost its struggle goal.
“What do you plan to do next?”
Xiong Shan: “First extinguish the lamp, then withdraw from the Jianghu.”
As for what would happen after that, although Xiong Shan didn’t say, Tan Wenbin understood.
The main members of the three families should have all come this time, but there would necessarily be remnants at the homes of the three families. This couple would still have to go door-to-door to report the feud between the second and third generations.
As for whether they would see the matter through to the end, Tan Wenbin was too lazy to ask.
Jianghu killing had been like this for thousands of years. If you killed my people, then I definitely had to kill back.
Li Hua carefully asked, “The address of the Li mansion in Nantong, Fishing Corpse Li?”
Tan Wenbin looked at her.
Li Hua smiled and softly said, “That one, promised.”
“I will give you my pager number. After you deal with your matters, you can contact me first. Remember, don’t secretly go to Nantong yourself to find Fishing Corpse Li.”
Li Hua reached out to take the paper with the pager number and stuffed it into the swaddling cloth in her arms.
Xiong Shan: “Of course, how can we be so ill-mannered?”
This wasn’t about manners or not, Tan Wenbin thought. Even if the couple went to Nantong, he feared they wouldn’t be able to find Li Dazhe’s home.
Hmm, if they really found it, the two of them would be in big trouble instead.
Xiong Shan asked again, “Now, can we go?”
Tan Wenbin: “We are preparing to go.”
Upstairs, it should be almost over.
“Then good, we will go, Li Hua.”
“Mm.”
Xiong Shan and his wife, carrying the child, directly jumped down the waterfall and fell into the pool below.
As Tan Wenbin’s side was preparing to jump, the Grand Eunuch reached out and turned a stone nearby. To a certain extent, he could control objects.
As the stone turned, the smooth cliff wall nearby recessed, revealing a downward stone staircase.
The Grand Eunuch: “Just follow this path and you will get out. Don’t jump into the water; you’ll get wet and it’s easy to catch a cold.”
“Thank you, Gan Dad, we’re going.”
“Little Binzi, travel well.”
“Tan Old Brother, travel well.”
Run Sheng, Yin Meng, and Lin Shuyou walked in front, while Tan Wenbin walked last. He turned around and waved at the Grand Eunuch and Little Wang Eunuch standing at the cave entrance.
As he waved, the two began to weather, and then like smoke and dust, they completely dissipated.
Upstairs, it was completely over.
Tan Wenbin sighed and no longer lingered, quickly catching up with his companions in front.
…
Xiong Shan and Li Hua floated up from the lake water. As soon as they came ashore, they saw Tan Wenbin and the others walking towards the shore, completely dry.
Tan Wenbin: “You jumped early, there was actually a shortcut.”
Xiong Shan and Li Hua looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
After everyone gathered again, they continued forward along the shore.
Soon, they saw many corpses with twisted postures and terrified expressions.
Before their death, they must have endured torment more terrifying than death.
In the middle of a circle of corpses, stood the Corpse Driving Taoist.
The Corpse Driving Taoist had already weathered, only that set of yellow Taoist robe remained standing there.
Jie Shunan was kneeling there, with a small heap of soil piled up in front of him. A stone was erected on the heap, and the smooth side of the stone had a “Qin” written in fresh blood.
He held a bamboo pole in each hand, and the other end of the bamboo pole pierced his chest.
This meant that he was not twisted by the neck; he committed suicide.
The Corpse Driving Taoist behind him should have watched him commit suicide and completely cut off his vital signs before dissipating.
Jie Shunan was not afraid of death.
Moreover, it was possible that until his death, he did not think he had done anything wrong. He did not think there was anything wrong with letting a large number of innocent people be buried together for practice.
When his plan went bankrupt, he had actually already “died.”
He was grateful that Li Chase Far had still granted him an opportunity for personal revenge in the end. Of course, he was even more grateful that Li Chase Far had “told” him that the image of the Qin family in his heart had not collapsed.
His face was solidified with a smile.
Before his death, he remodeled the “Qin Family Dragon King Tablet.”
In the instant of death, it was as if he returned to his childhood, back to listening to his grandma tell stories about the Qin family.
In a sense, this was also a kind of liberation for him.
In the sky, the dark clouds gradually became denser, seeming to indicate a bigger rain was coming.
The lake surface would continue to rise and would soon flood here, submerging all traces.
Tan Wenbin waved, “Let’s go, it’s not good to drive on a rainy day.”
They found the van again. There was enough gasoline inside, and there was Meiling Town along the way where they could get supplies.
Tan Wenbin drove the car and took everyone to Meiling Town.
Xiong Shan and his wife, hugging the child, left. They would go find a new vehicle and return to the city.
They wanted to take advantage of the news from Peach Flower Village not yet having time to spread back to the three families and start their revenge in time.
After separating from them, Tan Wenbin was not in a hurry to rush but found a private house in the town, letting everyone take a good hot bath and eat a farm meal.
During this time, Tan Wenbin held a basin of hot water and a towel, and helped Little Far Brother, who was lying on the bed, wipe his body and change his clothes.
Little Far Brother did not open his eyes throughout.
After doing everything, before leaving the room, Tan Wenbin specially reached out to check Little Far Brother’s breathing.
Fortunately, his breathing was even.
He pushed open the room door and saw Yin Meng also standing at the door with a basin of hot water and a towel.
Yin Meng said somewhat helplessly, “You at least leave me something to do.”
“Definitely next time.” Tan Wenbin smiled, “You stay and take care of Little Far Brother. I will take Run Sheng and Ayou to the town clinic to have their wounds treated again. When they took a bath, I saw that there were still a lot of things embedded in their bodies.”
Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou had both fought with that Corpse Driving Taoist before and had relatively serious injuries. Although they had done simple treatment, the dirt inside the wounds still had to be picked out to help recovery, or at least… look better.
“Okay, you go.”
Tan Wenbin called Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou and took them to the clinic.
The clinic had a very old barefoot doctor with white hair and beard.
He took Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou to the inner room, turned on the light, had them take off their clothes, checked their injuries, and was startled but remained steady.
He silently took out tools from the tray and began to help them clean and disinfect, his actions skilled and without any fumbling.
This involuntarily made Tan Wenbin, who was standing beside him, admire him. Just this psychological quality was much higher than that of Divine Doctor Fan in Jinling.
The old doctor first treated Lin Shuyou, whose injuries were lighter. Lin Shuyou said, “Thank you.”
“No need to thank, we should thank you.”
“Huh?”
Tan Wenbin took over, “Old Man, what do you mean?”
The old doctor said in a heavy tone, “When I was young, every time I encountered this kind of strange weather, my grandfather would tell me that something was going to happen in the mountains.
I asked my grandfather, then shouldn’t we quickly escape?
My grandfather said: What’s there to fear? No need to escape. There will be capable people who will calm things down in the mountains.”
The old doctor pointed to the terrifying wound on Run Sheng’s back and shook his head, “I may not believe that this was a slip and fall.”
Some people, although not from the Xuanmen, can also know some Jianghu matters.
Many people’s childhoods were filled with many strange and winding stories told by their grandparents’ generation. Who can tell the true from the false within them?
Tan Wenbin took out his cigarette case and pulled out a cigarette for the old doctor.
The old doctor: “I don’t smoke.”
Tan Wenbin then put the cigarette into his own mouth.
The old doctor: “You should smoke less too. You are still young, don’t spoil your body.”
Tan Wenbin: “I feel like I can live a long time.”
“If your body is spoiled, you get sick or lie in bed, the longer you live, the more painful it is.”
“Oh, your words really scare me.”
“Since you’re scared, then what should you do?”
“I have to quickly light one to calm down.”
“Stinky boy, go outside to smoke.”
“You work hard.”
Tan Wenbin walked out smiling, came outside the clinic, and lit a cigarette.
Just as he blew out a smoke ring, he was bumped by a little girl.
The little girl was only four or five years old. She looked up, glanced at Tan Wenbin, and ran into the clinic.
The place where Tan Wenbin was standing was just outside the window of the clinic’s side room. Standing there, he could see the little girl run inside. Inside there were beds and chairs, which were specifically for people to hang IVs.
The little girl came to the front of a sickbed. On the bed was a woman hanging an IV. Beside the woman sat a man, who should be her husband, and a boy the same age as the little girl and looking very similar. This boy and girl should be twins.
The woman on the sickbed glanced at Tan Wenbin outside and said a few words to the man.
The man got up and led the little girl by the hand out of the clinic.
“Come, Hua Hua, how did Daddy and Mommy teach you? When you bump into people and cause trouble, you have to apologize to them first. Quickly, apologize to Uncle.”
“Hehe, no need, no need.”
“Uncle, I’m sorry, I just accidentally bumped into you.”
“Okay, Uncle accepts your apology. Uncle is fine, it doesn’t hurt. You are really good.”
“Hee hee.”
The little girl ran back to the clinic smiling, went to her mom’s sickbed side, and found her brother to play.
The man then stayed put, perhaps also feeling that it was too stuffy inside and came out to breathe. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Tan Wenbin.
Tan Wenbin hadn’t finished the one in his hand yet. He just held the one he handed him behind his ear, took out his lighter, and helped the other light his cigarette.
“Oh, thank you.”
The man protected the lighter with both hands, lowered his head, and lit the cigarette.
“Old brother, listening to your accent, you’re not a local, right?”
“Mm, no. My hometown is Nantong.”
“Nantong? Shandong’s?”
“Jiangsu’s, next to Yangzhou.”
“Oh, I know that, hehe, sorry.”
“It’s alright.”
Tan Wenbin was already used to it. Mainly, Nantong had no fame. Of course, it was also because the other cities in the province were too famous and recognizable.
“Old brother, are you from the north?”
“Then you guess where I’m from.”
“Tianjin’s?”
“Is my accent so obvious? I am indeed from Tianjin.”
“Here for tourism?”
“No, I’m here with my wife to find relatives.”
“Found them?”
The man blew out a smoke ring and shook his head, “No, these days, where is it so easy to find people, ah.”
“Is it near here?”
“He, only knows it’s in Zhangjiajie.”
“Then how did you manage to find your way here? This place is quite remote, oh.”
“It’s like this. Ever since my wife got pregnant, she has had problems with palpitations and headaches, very serious. She’s also pregnant with twins. Initially, seeing this situation, I wasn’t planning to risk having the child. It was my wife who insisted on giving birth. Fortunately, the pregnancy was safe.
But this problem has become more and more severe over the years, attacking from time to time, which is very tormenting.
This time, our family of four just went to Zhangjiajie, and her problem attacked again. We went to the city hospital to see, and a doctor there said that there is an old doctor in Meiling Town who is good at treating this. I just rented a car and brought her and the children over.
Don’t say, after boiling and drinking the folk remedy and Chinese medicine this morning, and hanging the IV, her condition immediately improved at noon, would you believe it?
We haven’t only seen this problem in Tianjin, we’ve also gone to big hospitals in Beijing, and none of them could find a way.
Here, she miraculously recovered immediately.”
“Congratulations, this is a good thing, ah.”
“Yes, ah. So, anyway, whether I find them or not, I’ll wait for my wife to rest a bit more, and I plan to take her to several villages near Meiling Town to look again.”
“Take advantage of the good luck coming, then seize the opportunity and keep trying.”
“Yes, that’s what I mean. You really can’t say, people, ah, sometimes really have to be a bit superstitious, it gives you energy to do things.”
“Was your wife trafficked as a child?”
“No.” The man shook his head, “It was when my dad was on a business trip that year and passed by Zhangjiajie on the train. There was a boy on the platform who pushed my wife, who was still a little girl then, through the window and forcefully gave her to my dad.”
“Oh?”
“You know, the train window opens on top. A little boy, ah, lifting a little girl and stuffing her inside, ho~ My dad still recalls that matter now, saying that that little boy, although he looked small and thin, was really strong, hey.
That little boy stood on the platform and bowed to my dad, eh, just like this.”
The man made a gesture.
Although the man’s action wasn’t standard, Tan Wenbin still saw that this wasn’t bowing, it should be a ritual of worship.
“This is truly wonderful.”
“Hey, you guessed it. There’s even more wonderful stuff, eh.
That little boy said that he and his sister ran an entire train, and saw that my dad was the most fortunate-looking person, and that his sister would definitely live well following my dad.” Tan Wenbin smiled: “Then he really didn’t see wrong.”
The man’s clothes were neat and tidy, and the two children’s clothes were also very exquisite. They were clearly from a family with very good conditions.
Moreover, he was willing to bring his children along to help his wife find relatives. This kind of caring also showed the good family atmosphere.
The man said modestly, “Ai, just making a living.”
Tan Wenbin teased, “So, in the end, did your dad adopt her?”
The man’s face turned red, and he shook the cigarette ash very awkwardly:
“That one, she was indeed adopted by my dad and mom. My mom really liked her and even specially invited a famous fortune teller in Tianjin to help my wife name her. Finally, that fortune teller gave her the name—’Shunclean, for the rest of her life will be smooth and the family clean’.
After all, although she was actively given away, she was still considered an abandoned baby and was quite pitiful. My dad and mom also hoped to treat her as family, let her background be clean, and not suffer prejudice.
My wife just took my family’s surname, Zhang, and was called Zhang Shunclean.
That one, actually my wife and I knew very early on that we had no blood relation. We also didn’t call each other ‘brother and sister’ since we were young, we just called each other by name directly.
Then I went to university, and we just secretly started dating. We originally wanted to hide it from the family, but… we got the belly big.
You don’t know, ah, I was almost beaten to death by my dad with a belt, and scolded to death by my mom. We were both kicked out of the house, they said they would cut ties with us.”
No one was wrong first, one sent, one inner, one contained, one in, one, one look!
Tan Wenbin took down the cigarette clamped behind his ear, lit it, and while looking thoughtful, agreed: “I can understand.”
If it were that kind of child bride raised in the countryside before, it would have been just that.
But the parents really raised her as their own daughter, and as a result, she got involved with their own son. It was indeed a big shame for the family.
“However, we were kicked out for less than a month before my dad and mom became soft-hearted. After all, my wife was still pregnant, so they just let us move back to live, and gradually, they also acquiesced.
However, they still changed my wife’s name and she couldn’t have the same surname as my family.
It just so happened that when my dad hugged my wife from the train, my wife had a longevity lock on her body, and her surname was engraved on it. So they just changed her back to her original surname.
Moreover, what’s even more exaggerated is that after knowing she was pregnant with twins, my dad, to further wash away the stain on my body, specially agreed in advance that the second child would take my wife’s surname.
Hey, as a result, my son is the younger brother.
My dad really accepted it, but I think he must often be awakened by anger when he sleeps at night.
Hahahaha!”
Tan Wenbin seriously asked, “Then what is your wife called now?”
“Jie Shunclean.”
…
In the soft sleeper carriage, Run Sheng placed the still deeply sleeping Little Far on the upper bunk.
Tan Wenbin sat down on the lower bunk, tilted his head, and looked at the platform outside the window.
The train hadn’t departed yet, and there were many people on the platform.
Tan Wenbin saw a little boy leading a younger little girl walking towards them outside. The little girl jumped up and started to pull the edge of the train window.
This scene startled Tan Wenbin, and he immediately stood up.
The little girl showed a smile to Tan Wenbin and shouted in a clear voice, “Cherries, cherries, do you want some? We picked them ourselves, they’re very sweet and delicious!”
Tan Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with lingering fear.
“Hehe.” The little girl saw that Tan Wenbin wanted some and smiled very happily. She turned her head to look at her brother behind her, “Brother, quickly give it to me, quickly give it to me, people want our cherries, eh!”
Then, the little girl turned back again, “Uncle, how many do you want?”
Tan Wenbin: “I want them all.”
“Haha!” The little girl smiled even more happily and urged, “Brother, hurry up, people want them all, eh!”
Tan Wenbin took out several large notes from his wallet and handed them to the little girl.
The little girl’s eyes widened, and her mouth formed an ‘o’.
She immediately reached out and grabbed the money, then helped her brother hand over the bags of cherries wrapped in folded newspapers.
Tan Wenbin received the bags one by one.
At this time, the station staff blew the whistle, and the train gradually started.
The transaction between both sides was already complete. Tan Wenbin sat down and saw that at the original position in front, the girl had just taken out the money she was given, showed it to her brother, and was dancing and gesturing with joy, like a happy butterfly.
Yin Meng came over from the next carriage, saw the small table full of newspaper packages, reached out to open one and look, and said in surprise:
“You like eating cherries so much?”
“Ayou likes to eat them.”
At this time, Lin Shuyou walked in, carrying two large bags of box meals from the dining car.
Yin Meng pointed to the cherries on the table: “Ayou, your Bin Brother bought them for you to eat, don’t waste them, eat them all.”
Lin Shuyou was stunned for a moment. With so many cherries, he feared his urine would turn red if he ate them all!
The train speed had gradually increased and was about to leave the station.
Just then, a figure ran over quickly. It was the little boy.
He tightly closed his lips, exerted all his strength, ran on the platform, caught up with the window, jumped up, and threw the money in his hand through the window opening.
The money thrown in included large notes and some change.
The little boy stopped, bent at the waist, supported his knees, lifted his head, and while breathing heavily, waved goodbye to Tan Wenbin.
Tan Wenbin collected the money and put it back in his wallet.
That little boy was not Jie Shunan, and that little girl was not Jie Shunclean.
But perhaps, the story of their brother and sister could have had another outcome, just like just now.
No, no.
As long as those three families continued to covet the General’s power and thought that the Jie family had always benefited from the General’s tomb, as long as those three families continued to want to consume the entire family.
That brother and sister’s story simply couldn’t have any other outcome.
Little Far Brother said that people’s empathy was very strange and required many conditions to be met.
Tan Wenbin now in his heart, rather hoped that the Xiong Shan couple could carry out their revenge a bit more thoroughly.
The train drove out of the station.
Yin Meng took a cherry and put it in her mouth: “It’s still quite sweet.”
Beside her, Lin Shuyou had already started eating.
Yin Meng said, “So, if Jie Shunan had really detonated that curse power, his sister, and her brother-in-law, as well as their two children, would definitely have died too.”
Tan Wenbin nodded: “Too close, even now, we might not have driven out of the disaster range.”
“He shouldn’t have known his sister came to find relatives, right?”
“He shouldn’t have known. If he knew, he would have sent his sister’s family away in advance, as far as possible, just like he did back then.”
Lin Shuyou: “I really can’t eat anymore!”
…
The train arrived in Jinling, and everyone returned to school.
Little Far Brother was still not awake, still in a deep sleep.
Tan Wenbin did not take Little Far Brother back to the dormitory but directly carried him to Liu Grandma’s home.
As he pushed open the courtyard door, the French window on the first floor also opened simultaneously.
A Li stood at the edge of the window, looking at the boy on Tan Wenbin’s back.
Tan Wenbin was not polite either. After taking off his shoes at the edge of the window, he entered A Li’s room. Without needing A Li to pat his bed, he just put Little Far Brother on A Li’s bed.
He believed that Little Far Brother’s sleep and rest quality would definitely be better here than in the dormitory.
After leaving A Li’s room, Tan Wenbin looked around on the first floor, but didn’t find Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu. He then went to the second floor.
The old lady sat on a rattan chair in the open room on the second floor, her hands crossed on her chest. She didn’t even drink the tea and asked directly:
“Little Far’s injuries not serious?”
“Not serious, Little Far Brother is overdrawn, that one, Aunt Liu, eh?”
Tan Wenbin remembered that the last time this situation occurred at Li Dazhe’s home, Aunt Liu had boiled medicine for Little Far Brother for a long time.
“Blind, eh?”
“Not yet, but can’t see things clearly.”
“Then the problem is not big, no need to take medicine, just sleep more and he will be fine.”
“With your words, I am relieved.”
Tan Wenbin came over, sat down on the stool next to her, and poured himself some tea.
Liu Yumei said, “They two went to get something, they’ll be back in a while.”
“What kind of things need two people to get?”
“Some delicate ones, can’t be bumped, several musical instruments.”
“Oh, seems like you’re in a good mood recently, ah.”
“Not me, it’s for A Li to play.”
“A Li can still do this?”
“My personally raised granddaughter, Qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, aren’t they all basic, eh?”
“Got it, later when I have a child, I’ll also bring them to ask you to take a look?”
“Are you a monkey? Give you a stick and you climb up?”
“There’s a date, there’s no date, just try three times, anyway, there’s no loss.”
“Then when do you plan to let the tree bear dates?”
“That one, not yet, wait later, ah. Now I’ve already made mistakes, I can’t keep making mistakes.”
Liu Yumei knew what Tan Wenbin meant.
This boy originally didn’t plan to date, fearing that he would die one day while traveling the Jiang, and delay someone.
By chance now, dating was dating, but any more matters, he might not dare to do.
Liu Yumei: “Sometimes, being a person can be a bit selfish.”
Tan Wenbin scratched his head: “I feel like I think this way, it’s already quite selfish.”
“Not bad, your mouth is smoother. How was it, did you go to the palace study?”
“It was just as you said.”
“Tell me about it.”
“Okay, wait, I’ll organize it a bit.” Tan Wenbin had to prepare some pronouns and hints first. After he was almost ready, he began to narrate.
Liu Yumei listened while pressing her brows.
Actually, Zhuangzhuang’s narration was quite good, really quite good, but Zhuangzhuang just suffered from a lack of culture.
Even though he was a proper university student, his foundation in ancient literature and history was too different from Little Far’s.
When Little Far narrated, he could quote classics, and it was comfortable to listen to. When Zhuangzhuang narrated, it was like deciphering a code.
Finally, she finished listening.
Liu Yumei felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted. She even felt that rather than listening to Zhuangzhuang’s version, it was better to secretly listen to Little Far narrate to A Li next time.
It wasn’t just spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, eh, it was also better than experiencing this torture.
Tan Wenbin also knew the level of his own narration, chuckled, and began to sip tea.
He felt that he had made quite a lot of progress in this area, but alas, the background of each wave of Jiang was becoming more and more complex.
“Okay, you just came back, you must have something on hand. Go busy yourself first, ah.”
“Okay, rest, rest, take a break.”
Tan Wenbin stood up. He still had to make a drawing and design a super hard bang bang for ‘Gan Dad’.
However, before leaving, he still had to coax the old lady’s mood.
“Ai, I say, Old Lady, you still haven’t given me a definite answer, eh. If I have a child later, will you help me take a look?”
Liu Yumei spat at Tan Wenbin and said in a bad mood:
“I’m busy, where do I have leisure time to help you look at a child.”
“Got it, got it, got it. I’ll ask one more, you’re busy, you’re busy.”
Tan Wenbin left “dejectedly.”
Liu Yumei’s face gradually changed from cloudy to sunny. She picked up a solanum fruit and put it in her mouth:
“Heh, I might not be busy, eh.”
…
Li Chase Far didn’t know exactly how long he had slept, but it must have been very long.
He wanted to wake up but couldn’t open his eyes.
He forced them open.
His eyes were open, and he was out. He had walked into Yin.
Looking around, he knew where this was.
However, what was somewhat unexpected was that after he walked into Yin, A Li unexpectedly did not follow him.
Could it be that she was not in the bedroom at this time?
She should be in the bedroom.
And his walking in Yin state, in A Li’s eyes, was like a ghost. She didn’t need to walk into Yin to see him.
Why didn’t the girl follow him into Yin? It was probably because she didn’t want to play with him in the Yin state and aggravate his fatigue.
It was just that Li Chase Far felt that even if his walking into Yin state was interrupted now, his fatigued body would probably not be able to wake up temporarily.
He now somewhat understood the feeling of Yin Meng’s grandpa initially.
He lay in the coffin all day, only taking advantage of the night to walk out in Yin to breathe.
Li Chase Far walked out of the bedroom and went upstairs.
The sky was dark, it was still night.
He didn’t intend to go to other people’s rooms, but went straight up to the third floor and walked into the room where the memorial tablets were placed.
The boy stood in front of the altar table, his gaze constantly sweeping over the memorial tablets of the Qin and Liu families’ ancestors above.
These memorial tablets were not uniform in age.
Actually, there was nothing particularly good to see.
But when you swept your gaze over those names one by one, you seemed to be able to taste a strong feeling in your mouth.
Behind every name was a section of history, full of storms.
He had already continuously encountered two waves related to Qin Kan, and Qin Kan was just one of the many names inside.
Xiong Shan misunderstood the intention of the waves, but it was very difficult for him to make such a mistake, because he could use A Li’s dream to conduct reverse verification.
And the reason he could do this was not because he was excellent, but because he carried the inheritance of the Qin and Liu families.
The inheritance of one top Dragon King might still not be enough. Only when the two families merged together could they give him this detailed question bank.
The ancestral spirits of the Qin and Liu families were not here.
But the protection of the Qin and Liu families was still given to him.
“Why did you suddenly think of coming here to look?”
The old lady’s voice rang out from behind.
Li Chase Far turned back and saw Liu Yumei.
The real old lady should be lying in bed resting at this time. The one in front of him was also walking in Yin.
“Did I disturb your rest?”
“Heh, old people have little awareness anyway.
Moreover, you are already sneaky enough. You’ve all walked up the stairs in Yin. Who still has the nerve to say you’re making noise?”
Liu Yumei walked to the front of the altar table, waved her hand, and all the candles on the altar table lit up, making the room bright and solemn.
“Little Far, why did you think of coming here?”
“No other reason, just wanted to come and look.”
“Feeling the burden is heavy?”
“No, it’s that the pole is lifting me too high.”
“Oh, you feel like your virtue doesn’t match your position?”
“Mm.”
“What foolish things are you thinking? Although your surname is Li, you are also a child of our Qin Liu home now. The glory created by the ancestors was originally intended to illuminate future generations.”
“I still thought you would say illuminate.”
“Originally, it could illuminate, but they don’t have this ability now. Moreover, the future generations that need illumination aren’t too useless, are they?”
“You are right.”
“Remember Grandma’s words, treat yourself as a child of the family, don’t be estranged, and don’t be polite.”
“Thank you, Grandma.”
“You should return to your body to rest early, you can’t be tired again now.”
“I know, I’ll stay a while longer.”
“Mm, and…” Liu Yumei said very seriously, “Someday when you’re tired, Grandma will help you extinguish the lamp holder. Our family has a big business, a big industry. Without that useless false name, you can also live a lifetime of wealth and safety.”
“Okay, thank you for your care, Grandma.”
Liu Yumei disappeared.
Inside the room, only the boy remained alone.
Extinguishing the lamp again, admitting defeat; this was a rule known throughout the Jianghu.
He didn’t know if Xiong Shan had reported his revenge, or if he had extinguished the lamp again.
Uncle Qin failed to walk the Jiang, and after extinguishing the lamp again, he was still living well now.
But actually, in Li Chase Far’s heart, he always had a guess.
That is, he wasn’t personally extinguishing the lamp, but the Jiang water was forcefully rolling him down.
Could a beginning with unjust procedures be exchanged for an end with just procedures?
This river,
He would either succeed and turn into a dragon, or sink to the bottom as a corpse.
There was no third path.
Because,
He possibly,
Just didn’t have the qualification to surrender and admit defeat!
