Chapter 238

“I still haven’t asked you, how serious is your injury?” Li Sanjiang looked at Tan Yunlong caringly. “Where did you get injured?”

Tan Yunlong first pointed to the place of his injury, then smiled: “It’s all healed, no big problem.”

“You still need to take good care of yourself,” Li Sanjiang said, taking out his cigarette case. He paused for a moment as he pulled out a cigarette.

Tan Yunlong actively reached out to take it, then took the matchbox from Li Sanjiang and helped both Li Sanjiang and himself light up.

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Tan Yunlong said in a lowered voice: “But I’ve been holding back for a long time. My wife watches me closely; she hasn’t allowed me to smoke for a while.”

Li Sanjiang: “Alas, that’s my fault.”

Tan Yunlong: “Not at all, I’m just basking in your glory this time.”

Zheng Fang was originally playing bridge with Liu Yumei and Liu Jinxia. This round she was out and stood behind Liu Yumei, watching. She naturally noticed her husband’s small actions, but seeing Li Sanjiang’s face, she just pretended not to see.

Li Sanjiang: “I knew you were a good police officer from the beginning.”

Tan Yunlong humbly waved his hand, about to continue with some self-deprecating remarks, when Li Sanjiang spoke again: “From Zhuangzhuang’s body, I can see that Zhuangzhuang is a good child, so his dad must not be bad either.”

Tan Yunlong didn’t know how to continue the conversation for a moment.

Li Sanjiang flicked the cigarette ash: “Speaking of which, before you all came back from Jinling, didn’t you ask Zhuangzhuang when he was coming back?”

Tan Yunlong: “The kids are busy. I don’t know where they’re interning now.”

Li Sanjiang: “That’s true. I also don’t know exactly where my Xiao Yuanhou and the others are now. They’re not even graduated yet and they’re so busy. Once they graduate and formally start working, won’t they only be able to come home maybe twice a year?”

Tan Yunlong: “Young people should prioritize their careers; this is how it should be.”

Li Sanjiang: “I don’t want the kids to suffer too much, but I also know that without suffering, you don’t know what blessings are.”

At the card table.

Liu Jinxia won and clapped her hands happily.

Li Juxiang and Liu aunt sat together picking vegetables. Seeing her mother happy like a child, she couldn’t help but laugh: “My mom is only like this when she plays cards with your old lady.”

Normally, Liu Jinxia had to instinctively pretend and maintain her superior image.

Liu aunt: “Isn’t my old lady the same as me?”

In the past, Liu aunt wouldn’t even dare to imagine that the future mistress would actually like to sit and play cards with a group of rural old ladies, and not just casually, but truly immersed and happy.

At this moment, Liu aunt’s hand movements paused. She looked towards the road ahead, where three teenagers were walking towards them.

The hand that was touching the cards also paused slightly. After glancing in that direction, she continued to draw cards.

They weren’t surprised that Xiao Yuan was back, but the fact that they only noticed the people when they reached here meant that the child had matured and advanced a lot.

“Yuan Hou brother is back!”

Cui Cui was the first to run up the embankment to report.

Immediately, Li Zhuoyuan, holding A Li’s hand, also walked up.

Zheng Fang rarely came to Li Sanjiang’s house before, and A Li had seen her even less. Seeing the scene of the two walking together today, her face couldn’t help but show a melting expression.

There was no other way; this pair really looked too handsome and too compatible. Just walking hand in hand together seemed to let people directly see beauty.

After a long while, Zheng Fang came back to her senses. Since Xiao Yuan was back, then wasn’t her son also back?

Li Zhuoyuan greeted everyone on the embankment one by one, then didn’t rush to go upstairs with A Li, but found a stool and sat beside his great-grandfather.

Li Sanjiang actively asked: “Xiao Yuan Hou, where are Zhuangzhuang and Runsheng Hou?”

Li Zhuoyuan replied: “Only A You, Mengmeng, and I came back first. Zhuangzhuang brother and Runsheng brother still have to stay to continue watching the engineering progress for a while.”

Li Sanjiang: “Oh, so that’s how it is.”

Zheng Fang, who had already walked over, heard that her son hadn’t come back and her mood was inevitably a little disappointed.

When she first learned that her husband was transferred to Jinling, she thought she would often see her son afterward, but who knew that her son would become so elusive later on.

Zheng Fang asked: “Xiao Yuan, is your internship hard?”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Aunt Zheng, the conditions are much better now than before, it’s just a little boring, life isn’t very hard.”

Zheng Fang continued: “Xiao Yuan, you must help us watch Binbin closely, absolutely don’t give him a chance to make mistakes.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Aunt, rest assured, Binbin brother won’t.”

Tan Yunlong just smoked silently, not speaking, not deliberately playing the role of an unconcerned father, but he vaguely felt that his son should have come back, but it wasn’t convenient to let them see him now.

He should be injured.

Li Zhuoyuan: “Uncle Tan, Binbin brother will be back in a while.”

Tan Yunlong was relieved and said: “Okay, that’s good.”

After chatting for a while, two figures appeared walking side by side on the road ahead.

One was Zhou Yunyun pushing a bicycle, and the other was Lin Shuyou carrying large and small bags of things.

Zhou Yunyun was taking advantage of the holiday and came back to Nantong with Tan Yunlong and his wife, but she was definitely going back to her own home, and today wasn’t scheduled to meet here.

Mainly, Tan Wenbin always lived at Li Sanjiang’s place, and Grandpa Li was very good to Binbin and also very good to her, so this was naturally a relative interaction.

She had her parents help prepare some gifts, and she rode her bicycle from Shipu over, planning to visit and say hello.

Who would have thought that Tan Yunlong and Zheng Fang would also be here.

As for Lin Shuyou, he had finished scraping in Yinmeng and came back. He encountered Zhou Yunyun riding her bicycle on the village road, and since she had many gifts, he just helped carry them.

Zheng Fang smiled and actively walked down the embankment to meet Zhou Yunyun: “I knew you wanted to come early, so I just let your Uncle Tan go to your house to pick you up, this is really a coincidence.”

After Zhou Yunyun came up the embankment, she greeted everyone one by one, appearing very generous.

Li Sanjiang said: “Just right, don’t leave, stay and eat dinner together, it’ll be lively.”

After dinner, the guests left.

Tan Yunlong was worried that Zhou Yunyun riding a bicycle alone at night wouldn’t be safe, so he tied the bicycle to the back seat, first taking Zhou Yunyun back home, then folding back to pick up Zheng Fang.

After Li Zhuoyuan took a bath, he walked to the balcony. Just then, A Li, who had also just taken a bath, walked out of the east room, having changed into a goose-yellow dudou skirt.

Liu Yumei beckoned to the teenagers above: “Come down and drink tea.”

Li Zhuoyuan came down and first brewed tea for Liu Yumei.

Liu Yumei asked: “Are Zhuangzhuang and Runsheng’s injuries serious?”

It was very normal to have some injuries after coming back from the river. Liu Yumei herself could see that Lin Shuyou also had some minor injuries.

Li Zhuoyuan: “It’s manageable.”

“Okay, that’s good. Right, your spirit looks much better…” Liu Yumei carefully examined the teenager’s face and smiled, “How come you have a bit of a Buddha-like aura?”

Li Zhuoyuan: “I ate things, but they haven’t been completely digested yet, it should disappear after a while.”

Liu Yumei just asked a couple of simple questions and, seeing that there was indeed no major issue, picked up her tea and took a sip, saying:

“Okay, you all go play.”

Li Zhuoyuan and A Li went upstairs.

It was windy tonight, and still a bit cold at night. Li Zhuoyuan took out his quilt and covered his and A Li’s legs.

Next, the two of them sat side by side with their heads leaning against each other, lying on two chairs pushed together, facing the starry sky, playing chess while the teenager narrated.

When she heard that the Bodhisattva had been tricked by the teenager into sending out the first wave of lotus petals, A Li laughed.

When he narrated about getting the second wave of lotus petals, the girl slightly furrowed her brow.

The original body also gained Qinglian power, meaning that the advantage he had just gained was offset.

As for the fact that the original body and the teenager worked together in the end to scatter Pudu Zhenjun’s wisp of consciousness and make it mentally confused, the girl was not surprised.

She had seen the original body; he would definitely make the most calm and suitable choice.

After the narration finished, the three games of chess in the third session also came to an end.

Among them, Li Zhuoyuan had already lost two games, but in the last game, the teenager won.

This didn’t mean that the teenager had made any new breakthroughs in chess skills, purely because his mental power was more abundant now, and even without deliberately doing so, he could deduce and calculate more than before.

After playing chess for so long, finally winning the first game, Li Zhuoyuan didn’t feel much excited. Instead, A Li, who lost the game, seemed happier.

“If I’m not home later, you can go out more with Cui Cui.”

A Li nodded.

Cui Cui came to call her today, saying there was an injured bird lying there, which was very pitiful.

The reason A Li went, rather than pitying the bird, might as well be said to be “pitying” Cui Cui.

After all, in A Li’s view, that injured bird might not be pitiful at all.

The girl knew that she needed to actively try to walk out so that she could have the opportunity to help him later.

“A Li, do me a favor. I’ve accumulated a lot of redundant and useless emotions from this trip to the river. I need to organize and discard them so they don’t take up space.”

The girl closed her eyes.

The hands of the two people were originally just holding each other. After closing their eyes together, the Walk Yin opened.

There was no hysteria, no intense collision, not even the slightest suppression and resistance.

It was exactly the same illusion that Pudu Zhenjun had set for himself, and it was also great-grandfather’s home.

Here, it was also night, and the overly overlapping and consistent environment gave Li Zhuoyuan a feeling that he had simply opened and closed his eyes.

Getting up, he pushed open his room door. It was dark inside, with only the desk lamp emitting a wisp of halo, and he could vaguely see a figure sitting there.

Previously, they were intertwined with each other. Since Li Zhuoyuan actively degraded himself to a heart demon, each was completely distinguished.

Distinguished was the soul consciousness, not the body.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, Li Zhuoyuan swallowing the lotus petals also upgraded the original body. At the same time, the original body swallowing the Qinglian power also allowed Li Zhuoyuan to enjoy it here.

The reason why Li Zhuoyuan still deliberately pulled the Feng Shui power to his side to cover his breath when he got home was because he was not only consuming the lotus petals, but there was another strand from the original body’s digestion progress, causing the teenager here… to have some energy overflow.

He had to deliberately do some wasteful actions to consume this excessive energy, otherwise the whole person would inevitably appear overly excited.

Li Zhuoyuan, standing at the door, said to the original body sitting at the desk:

“So diligent?”

Besides the body, they also shared memories.

The book the original body was currently reading was actually one Li Zhuoyuan had read. The teenager had an extremely strong memory and could basically remember the books he read in his brain verbatim.

He read the books moved from great-grandfather’s basement, and the original body read the books in his own memory.

The original body said without turning its head: “Putting time on meaningless things appears too low-level.”

In the original body’s view, one should seize every minute, utilize all resources around oneself, to continuously plan and strengthen oneself, and not spend good time accompanying a girl to chat and play chess.

Even considering the girl’s value that could bring benefits, it was already enough now. The girl’s eyes were full of him, willing to do almost anything for him.

Boiling soup, you only need to add some firewood slightly to continue maintaining the boil, but Li Zhuoyuan, however, continued to feed the fished-up fish.

Li Zhuoyuan: “This is why I can stand outside, while you can only be locked inside, and besides, your low-level and high-level, in my ears, sound a bit childish.”

Once, Li Lan also liked to use this wording.

She rejected anything human-related and treated herself as a spirit and even a species god.

Original body: “As you wish, put your garbage here, and I’ll take time to digest it.”

Initially, also in this bedroom, Li Zhuoyuan and the original body confronted each other once. He won, and the original body lost. Since then, the heart demon counterattacked the original body.

However, what sounded like a very dangerous matter was in reality just the process of that half-night. Liu Yumei, who lived in the east room, only noticed that the teenager’s body showed some characteristics in the morning and realized that some change seemed to have occurred within the teenager.

The movement was small because both sides did not plan to make it big. Many heart demons would go crazy when they acted, killing relatives, friends, and the innocent, which was very common.

But the two of them did not do so. The original body confirmed that he had no opportunity that night, just left some warnings, and then retreated back.

Including when dealing with Pudu Zhenjun, after the original body and Li Zhuoyuan joined hands to complete their purpose, he also walked into the door by himself.

The two people were too rational. The original body’s rationality was more advanced than Li Zhuoyuan’s. It knew when to engage in internal strife and how to control the degree of internal strife.

Pudu Zhenjun was shocked at that time by the relationship between this heart demon and the original body.

In fact, this is indeed the most harmonious example of a heart demon and the original body, both ancient and modern.

Li Zhuoyuan poured out the miscellaneous thoughts and emotions accumulated using secret techniques. Although the original body did not actively respond, it did not offer any resistance. Therefore, Li Zhuoyuan threw the garbage here very smoothly.

These emotional garbage were useless to the original body; it did not stain any emotions and would not leave any marks.

Rather, it had a greater influence on Li Zhuoyuan. After all, the teenager also did not want to follow in the footsteps of the Peach Blossom Immortal.

Li Zhuoyuan: “Changed your route?”

Original body: “With her by your side helping you, you will definitely be able to successfully throw this garbage here to me. Therefore, meaningless struggle is unnecessary.”

Li Zhuoyuan originally planned to rely on A Li’s help and use force. He didn’t expect the other side to not resist at all.

Of course, Li Zhuoyuan also knew what the original body’s new route was.

It was learning.

All the techniques, arrays, Feng Shui, etc. that it saw and learned, it could ruminate and upgrade; all of its own experiences, it could further summarize.

Because it didn’t need to sleep, didn’t need to do things, just stayed in the depths of the soul, it wouldn’t feel boring, dull, or stuffy, and could spend all its time on what it thought was beneficial.

The body and memory were shared, but personal insights and thoughts were distinguished.

Li Zhuoyuan could be sure that given time, the original body would definitely surpass him in all aspects.

This was actually considered a “parasite,” but it didn’t absorb the host’s nutrients, yet the effect of this parasite was even stronger and more terrifying.

The original body flipped a page of the book and asked: “How, are you afraid?”

Li Zhuoyuan: “A little.”

Original body: “If I were outside and you were inside, you wouldn’t be willing either.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Indeed.”

Original body: “Rest assured, in the short term, I have no interest in competing with you for the definition of ‘Li Zhuoyuan’. You have recorded too many books, many of which you understand but haven’t truly elevated and researched, including this…”

The original body flung its hand. Li Zhuoyuan saw the chessboard placed on the stool beside the desk, densely covered with black and white pieces.

Original body: “After playing chess for so long, your chess skills are still that bad. You played nine games in three sessions today, and the reason you could win one game is because your energy was too abundant, and you always maintained the best state, so you were just lucky to win one session.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “But, if I play chess with A Li and win, what does it mean?”

Original body was silent.

Li Zhuoyuan: “Don’t you think being serious about this matter makes me appear very low-level?”

Original body: “I’m just using this matter as an example for you.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Okay.”

Original body: “When I truly decide to learn well and prepare to come out, you will no longer be able to stop me.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “But, what you think are meaningless things I do are the iron bars that lock you here.”

Original body: “It’s effective now, but it might not be effective later. You should be clear that in the face of absolute strength, any opportunistic tactics are pale.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Then you continue to learn. I’m leaving.”

Original body: “You can cure Runsheng’s injury, but there’s no need to restore Runsheng’s consciousness. Anyway, even if he forgets who he is, he will always remember you and won’t do anything to hurt you. At that time, you can tie him with chains and seals every day and lead him to walk the river, which can unleash stronger combat power.

If you restore Runsheng’s consciousness, without that unconscious madness, his combat power effect will be greatly discounted.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “I don’t actually dislike what you and Li Lan said about not wanting to be human, but why are you all rushing towards being beasts?”

Original body: “Tan Wenbin’s two resentful infants on his shoulders are very weak now. Take advantage of Tan Wenbin not yet being awake and go refine those two resentful infants, thoroughly merging them into Tan Wenbin’s body. This way, his strength can be further enhanced, and he will always maintain this state. The price is just that his remaining life will always be in freezing, piercing torment, but he will get used to it.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Are you finished talking nonsense?”

Original body: “As for Runsheng, you can deceive others by saying you have the heart but lack the power. As for Tan Wenbin, you can deceive him by saying those two resentful infants sacrificed themselves to save you.

You have too many methods and can completely extract yourself from the vortex of doubt.

Your image in their hearts hasn’t changed; you are still the Xiao Yuan brother they trust and follow.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “See you again next time I throw garbage.”

The teenager walked out of the room and closed the door.

His eyes slowly closed, then re-opened, returning to reality.

A Li’s eyes were very close to the teenager; their faces were almost touching.

The girl’s eyes held some doubt.

Li Zhuoyuan explained: “It was very cooperative.”

The girl’s eyes showed worry.

“Don’t be afraid. The more it’s like this, the less you need to worry.”

Halfway through the Walk River, Li Zhuoyuan was truly afraid of the girl from the Yus family he met in Lijiang.

That was a person who was almost unable to predict her next action due to her stupidity.

The original body was too rational, and choosing the optimal solution was its instinct, even its logic of existence.

So, even if you resist this behavioral logic with pain, you can still gain a huge advantage in this regard.

You can continue to read books and learn diligently, and if you surpass me, just surpass me.

Do you think things like the Pudu Zhenjun last time will happen only once?

Absolute rationality is sometimes also a shortcoming.

Li Zhuoyuan sent A Li back to the east room, and after going back upstairs, he prepared to rest.

To solve the insomnia problem caused by excessive energy, Li Zhuoyuan specially took out a blank book before going to bed, put the already enough red lines on it, and continued to deduce. He also conveniently placed the 《Evil Book》, which had been completely squeezed dry today, on the first page.

The monkey on the second page of the blank book was still there.

At the same time, a fence appeared at the lower end of the second page.

The appearance of this fence here was very abrupt; it should have extended from the first page.

Obviously, the 《Evil Book》 was not content, and it was testing itself.

Li Zhuoyuan didn’t block it and pretended not to see it.

This monkey was already useless, and the 《Evil Book》 wanted to invade from the first page to the second page.

To this, Li Zhuoyuan decided to let it be.

After the invasion and integration were successful, the daily deduction amount in the future would be further increased.

Squeezing it day after day, Li Zhuoyuan also felt that he should give the 《Evil Book》 a little hope, letting it quench its thirst with plums and continue to live.

He went to bed, folded the quilt, lay down, and put the quilt cover over his stomach.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Waking up from sleep, as soon as he opened his eyes, he felt that kind of energy overflow feeling coming back again.

This phenomenon continued until the day when he and the original body completely digested it.

Turning his head, A Li was already standing in front of the painting table painting.

Every time a wave ended, it was A Li’s busiest time.

They both had to paint new works, supplement talisman paper and repair tools, sometimes make new things, and still rely on A Li’s craftsmanship.

After Li Zhuoyuan got up, he stood by A Li’s side for a while.

Although the painting had just started, the composition was already complete.

The layout was that Li Zhuoyuan stood in the lower middle of the painting, Pudu Zhenjun was on the left side, and Sun Baishen sitting on the lotus platform was on the right side. Li Zhuoyuan raised his head and confronted a pair of vague majestic eyes above.

This painting could be considered to gather all the key elements of the previous wave.

After washing, Li Zhuoyuan returned to the room, sat at the desk, and started writing 《Zhuoyuan Secret Volume》 to record this wave. After finishing writing, he took out 《Walk River Behavior Norms》 again. There were not many places to modify, just adding a few insights, focusing on whether the difficulty of the next wave would be reduced if Runsheng and Tan Wenbin’s situation did not improve in time and caused a loss of combat power on their side.

He stopped writing and pinched his hand, his writing was too fast, and it was a little sore.

Opening the blank book, on the second page, the cage closing the monkey was still in the center of the paper, and five fences had appeared at the bottom.

You really have energy.

“Eat breakfast!”

Liu aunt’s voice came.

Li Zhuoyuan held A Li’s hand and went downstairs together.

yingzi came, she brought a bag of salted duck eggs and a large bowl of pickled vegetables locally called “Grass U Head”.

Li Sanjiang looked at the salted duck eggs and asked: “Did you steal them from home?”

yingzi shook her head: “My mom asked me to bring them. Has Xiao Yuan Hou… not come back yet?”

yingzi ultimately did not tell Li Sanjiang about Xiao Yuan asking Huzi and Shitou to bring her malted milk.

Li Sanjiang: “Sit down and have breakfast together.”

“No, I ate at home, I’m going to school.”

After yingzi left, Li Zhuoyuan actively said to Li Sanjiang: “Yesterday, I asked Huzi and them to help me bring some nutritional products to yingzi.”

Li Sanjiang: “Okay, Yinghou is going to take the college entrance examination, she indeed needs to supplement her brain.”

No matter what Li Zhuoyuan did, his great-grandfather would express understanding and support and wouldn’t get angry.

“Grass U Head” is pickled first and then steamed. Before steaming, oil needs to be added. The raw material is alfalfa seedlings. It tastes salty and fragrant, and is very good with porridge.

After finishing breakfast, A Li went upstairs to continue painting, and Li Zhuoyuan then accompanied his great-grandfather for a walk, and then went to the big beard’s home to check on Runsheng and Tan Wenbin’s situation.

The peach blossoms in Runsheng’s pit were still “abundant”, obviously the one under the peach forest did not forget to supplement them.

Tan Wenbin’s body was still very cool, but not to the extent of directly freezing skin touch people anymore.

The physical conditions of the two people were developing in a good direction.

Walking downstairs to the embankment, they just saw Lin Shuyou, bare-bodied and only wearing a pair of briefs.

“Hiss…”

“Oh…”

“Yo…”

Lin Shuyou just kept inhaling cold air, striking poses one after another like a sculpture model.

This was because of the pain.

His body had large areas of black and red from the effect of the poison scraping.

But Lin Shuyou endured it hard. For the sake of face, he did not scream, just used this method to silently vent his pain.

The effect was still good. Being in pain to this extent proved that there were still many waste residues inside his body.

However, seeing A You’s painful appearance now, Li Zhuoyuan did not instruct Yinmeng to increase the toxicity and dosage, after all, the latter had risks.

Xiao Yingying held her child, held the milk bottle, and fed the child milk.

Bamboo ate very fragrantly.

After eating his fill, Xiao Yingying lightly patted his back, and the child burped several times.

It could be seen that Xiao Yingying treasured this child very much, because he could make her feel that she was still a person.

Bamboo glanced at Li Zhuoyuan, showed a sweet smile, then immediately turned his body inwards, pretending to be full and sleepy and wanting to sleep.

At this time, Xiong Shan came back carrying a hoe.

He had gone to the fields with Uncle Qin early in the morning and had just been instructed by Li Sanjiang to go deliver goods, so he was just back to put his tools at home.

When Xiong Shan walked, he supported his waist with his left hand, and his eye sockets were a little sunken and black-rimmed.

He himself was a Xuanmen person, a talisman expert from Chenzhou. Naturally, it was impossible for him to be possessed by a ghost. He could only be indulging excessively and overdrawing severely.

“Xiao Yuan brother.”

“Okay, good morning.”

After a simple greeting, Xiong Shan put down his things, took the water bottle and rope belt, and went to Li Sanjiang’s home.

This was a personal matter, and Li Zhuoyuan would definitely not actively tell people that he had been passively castrated by his son.

There were two jars of wine on the altar table, and two more below. Li Zhuoyuan walked over and opened the jar plug. The wine was still there, but he couldn’t smell any wine smell anymore.

It looked like the one under the peach forest had a very happy drink last night.

Li Zhuoyuan took out some money and handed it to Xiao Yingying: “Buy more wine to supply.”

Xiao Yingying: “I have money.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “It’s not the same, yesterday’s wine money is also in here.”

Xiao Yingying took the money and said softly: “Okay.”

When Li Zhuoyuan was about to leave, Lin Shuyou also put on his clothes. When he walked, he still kept making “hiss, oh” sounds, and his body also twitched constantly.

He didn’t feel too much after scraping yesterday. When he slept at night, it started to feel wrong after midnight. It was so painful that it was completely unbearable. He scraped again this morning, and the taste was simply comparable to sprinkling oil and chili on a wound.

Li Zhuoyuan: “You don’t need to go deliver goods to great-grandfather, rest.”

Lin Shuyou: “It’s okay, Xiao Yuan brother, I can go.”

The two walked to the village road and saw Zhou Yunyun, who had come yesterday, riding her bicycle over.

Li Zhuoyuan glanced at Lin Shuyou beside him and asked faintly: “Did you arrange it?”

Lin Shuyou: “Ah!!”

He was truly scared and jumped up.

“No, impossible, absolutely not!”

Actually, because Li Zhuoyuan didn’t know that Tan Yunlong and his wife were coming yesterday, when faced with Zheng Fang’s inquiry, he just said an internship location, and Lin Shuyou met Zhou Yunyun for the first time yesterday. When faced with Zhou Yunyun’s inquiry, he also said a location.

On the way back last night, Zhou Yunyun exchanged information with Tan Yunlong and found that the two locations did not match.

Zhou Yunyun stopped in front of Li Zhuoyuan, tried to restrain her tone, and asked: “Xiao Yuan, hasn’t Binbin already come back?”

Li Zhuoyuan: “No, if Binbin brother comes back, he will definitely want to see you first.”

Zhou Yunyun pushed up her bicycle, her hair blown scattered by the wind, and nodded: “I was just idle at home and rode my bicycle here.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Okay, exercising is good.”

Zhou Yunyun: “Then I’ll go back first.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Okay.”

Zhou Yunyun got back on her bicycle and left.

For young men and women, yearning is a disease, making people confused and unaware of themselves.

Li Zhuoyuan knew that Zhou Yunyun missed Tan Wenbin very much, but Tan Wenbin’s appearance now was more like a dead person than someone who had died long ago, truly not suitable to see guests.

The pager rang at this time. Li Zhuoyuan went to Aunt Zhang’s small shop to call back. As soon as he dialed through, it was answered.

“Xiao Yuan, are you back?”

“I’ll arrange people to go to the river to deliver things immediately, I won’t go myself.”

“Cough cough… that’s not necessary, really.”

Li Zhuoyuan heard that the voice on the other end of the microphone was intermittent, and there were also car horns around, obviously he was on the move.

Xue Liangliang: “Xiao Yuan, I got several big brothers. Since you’re at home, should I just arrange people to bring them over to you?”

This year, although big brothers were as big as bricks, they were a symbol of real identity. In an era of low per capita income, the price of a big brother was very high.

Li Zhuoyuan: “Okay.”

The teenager was not polite. He knew that Brother Liangliang was very rich.

“Then okay, I also bought some things for Grandpa Li, and my parents entrusted me to transfer my hometown specialties to Grandpa Li, so I’ll have someone send them over together.”

“Okay.”

“That, can you take a picture for me? I don’t have time to go back, I want to see her belly…”

“Brother Liangliang, some things can be taken out, but can’t be washed out.”

“Oh, understand, understand, then forget it. At that time, tell me specifically what she said to you and what she wants to say to me…”

“I’ll find a way to take it for you.”

“Okay, Xiao Yuan, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Li Zhuoyuan thought of Deng Chen. When he arrived, he would just let him take the photos. He could not only take them out but also make the photos present a period of movement and send them to Xue Liangliang, which could solve Brother Liangliang’s suffering from yearning.

It was just not convenient for outsiders to see, of course, Xue Liangliang’s wife’s pregnant belly also couldn’t be boasted about to outsiders.

Li Zhuoyuan hung up the phone.

Beside him, Lin Shuyou’s eyes bulged. He immediately shouted to Aunt Zhang that he wanted some snacks and settled the call fee together.

Li Zhuoyuan borrowed paper and pen from Aunt Zhang, wrote down the list of purchased gifts on it, tore the paper down, and handed it to Lin Shuyou.

“You had a hard trip, go buy the things in the city, and then send them to the river.”

“Understand!”

Seeing that Lin Shuyou just wanted to leave now, Li Zhuoyuan called him back again.

“Wait.”

“Yes, Xiao Yuan brother?”

Li Zhuoyuan recalled Deng Chen’s pager number in his mind, picked up the microphone again, and called the message station to have him paged.

After hanging up the phone, he waited for a while, and the phone rang.

“Hello.”

“Xiao Yuan brother, I’m here.”

“In Nantong?”

“No, no… um, in.”

Deng Chen ultimately didn’t have the courage to lie in this regard.

He was already in Nantong and was now living in a hotel in Shipu town, just waiting for the seven-day period to arrive and then immediately appearing with the fastest speed.

Originally, Li Zhuoyuan didn’t care about these matters and was too lazy to spend time simulating others’ behavior, but since he thought of Deng Chen, he slightly thought and guessed that the other side might have already rushed over overnight.

“Xiao Yuan brother, rest assured, I, I, I’m just going to roll back to Jinling immediately!”

“Forget it, since you’re already here, come over now and help me take a photo.”

“Rest assured, I will definitely go all out!”

Li Zhuoyuan handed the microphone to Lin Shuyou: “You can arrange it with him.”

After saying that, Li Zhuoyuan turned around and walked towards home.

On the embankment at home, several large trucks were loading goods. This time it should be a big business.

Although Runsheng and Binbin, the two laborers, were not here, with Uncle Qin and Xiong Shan, this amount was basically nothing.

After helping out together and then seeing them off to deliver the goods and leave, Li Zhuoyuan walked upstairs.

A Li was still painting. Li Zhuoyuan opened two cans of Jianlibao, inserted a straw into A Li’s can, and handed it to her.

The girl held the drink in her left hand, and while drinking, continued to paint with her right hand.

Li Zhuoyuan just took a shallow sip, then put it aside. His brain was very active now and he didn’t need to supplement sugar.

Moving his chair to the side of the girl’s painting table, Li Zhuoyuan sat there, supporting his head with his hand, and watched the girl paint.

The ink fragrance of the painting paper, combined with the faint fragrance of the girl’s body, gradually calmed Li Zhuoyuan’s originally excited spirit. He seemed to be dozing, but was actually just in a daze.

Perhaps seeing the original body and their exchange last night made Li Zhuoyuan realize more the preciousness of wasting time doing meaningless things.

A Li painted seriously, and from time to time, she would glance at the teenager sitting beside her, a smile showing at the corner of her mouth.

Time slipped away inadvertently, and he didn’t know how long it had been. In the depths of Li Zhuoyuan’s eyes, rays of green light continuously flowed and flickered. His already handsome face at this time added a sense of solemnity and seriousness.

The teenager yawned, stretched, and gathered everything.

He raised his head and glanced at the time. It was actually already five o’clock in the afternoon, and the outside was already approaching dusk.

He had been in this daze for so long.

The good news was that he had completely digested the eight lotus petals.

The better news was that he perceived that his energy was still constantly increasing, which meant that the original body had not yet fully digested the Qinglian power.

His own amount was actually more than it, but his digestion speed was faster than it.

As Pudu Zhenjun said, how does someone born in the empty door know what the empty door is?

He looked at A Li’s painting again, and it was still quite a long way from being completed.

The main reason was that this time he couldn’t paint the Bodhisattva yet he had to paint the atmosphere of the Bodhisattva’s existence, which made the painting difficulty unusually high and required more effort.

“A Li, did you eat lunch?”

The girl shook her head.

“Then let’s ask Liu aunt to make a quick meal, I’m hungry.”

Li Zhuoyuan didn’t say that the girl shouldn’t go without eating to accompany him. If the girl were in his previous state, he would definitely not leave and would always guard her side.

His great-grandfather and the others were not back yet, and there weren’t many people eating at noon anyway. In addition, Liu Yumei had noticed the repeated Buddha rhyme coming from the teenager’s room on the second floor while drinking tea outside in the morning. Not only did she not ask Liu aunt to shout “eat lunch!”, but she also postponed the card game in the afternoon, just to provide a quiet environment for the teenager.

After noticing that the Buddha rhyme gradually subsided, Liu Yumei instructed Liu aunt to make a meal.

By the time Li Zhuoyuan and A Li came down, Liu aunt had already brought the meal out from the kitchen.

“Thank you Liu aunt.” Immediately, Li Zhuoyuan looked at Liu Yumei sitting opposite him at the small round table, “Thank you Liu grandma.”

Liu Yumei picked up her chopsticks and waved her hand lightly: “We are family, don’t say things that sound like two families.”

She was very hesitant to directly help with the Walk River matter, but since the child was “napping” at home, it was impossible for her not to even do a good job of protecting him.

However, Liu Yumei still reminded him: “You can use the bald donkey’s things, but definitely don’t really believe them.”

Walk River Dragon King valued this life and cleansed one generation. He couldn’t pursue any next life, otherwise, this breath would just leak directly.

Li Zhuoyuan responded very straightforwardly:

“Okay, I don’t believe it.”

…

“You have to believe my eyesight, really, I’m a photographer!”

“I just feel like you’re making things too complicated.”

“You can’t be like this ah, this is the first time I’m properly doing something for Xiao Yuan brother after entering the door, it must be done beautifully. You are different from me, your relationship with Xiao Yuan brother is no longer at this level.”

Lin Shuyou: “That’s true.”

These words were what Lin Shuyou liked to hear.

The next moment, Lin Shuyou’s vertical pupils opened.

Deng Chen’s body immediately started to tremble. If he hadn’t been holding a pile of clothes for fear of dropping them on the ground and getting them dirty, he would have almost knelt down.

That teenager wasn’t here, so he could come out.

Tongzi mainly wanted to come out to express dissatisfaction. This double-headed python was clearly flattering others, and he, this silly Jitong, was happily listening.

Initially, tongzi was also like this, being called “your seniority is high” and “old predecessor” one after another, making him step down to the end.

Tongzi didn’t want to make the same mistake again.

After a slight warning, tongzi went down, and Lin Shuyou supported Deng Chen and apologized.

Deng Chen shook his head: “It’s okay, the sky is dark, let’s go quickly.”

After Lin Shuyou and Deng Chen met, the two of them went to the city department store. Besides buying all the things on the list, at Deng Chen’s request, they also bought several sets of fashionable clothes.

Since they were going to take photos, they definitely had to change several sets of clothes. One photo was not enough ah, he, Deng Chen, wanted to take a whole photobook.

By the time the two arrived at the river bank, the sky was already completely dark.

Lin Shuyou refused tongzi zhenjun’s request to show divinity, but silently took out yellow paper, lit it, and threw it into the river.

“Come out and receive gifts, sister-in-law.”

After a while, a water curtain floated up from the river surface. After the water curtain scattered, a woman in a white dress revealed her figure.

Deng Chen: “I told you, she definitely has plenty of ancient clothes in her hometown, we don’t need to buy them specially. This time we’ll divide into two themes, one is modern style, and one is ancient style.”

Lin Shuyou first threw the gifts into the river, then told the woman about taking photos. The woman immediately agreed and thanked them repeatedly.

Xue Liangliang hadn’t come to Nantong to jump into the river for a long time.

Previously, it was phased work, and he could come back immediately after finishing a project. Now that he was on his own, he had a lot of things on hand and almost couldn’t finish them. Xue Liangliang couldn’t put down his work and run to Nantong again.

“Okay, good, this pose, yes, keep it.”

“Change to another pose, yes, like this, not bad.”

“Okay, you follow me, pose like this with me, yes, yes, yes, just like this, lift your chin a little more.”

Every time the clothes were changed, a water curtain would rise. After the water curtain went down, the clothes were already on the woman’s body.

The woman tried to do all of Deng Chen’s requests. She also hoped that Xue Liangliang could see her appearance now.

However, modern clothes and some photography poses were indeed a bit difficult for the woman to integrate.

However, after changing back into traditional clothes, the woman became much more natural and relaxed. She didn’t need to deliberately pose, she just brought out the artistic conception herself.

After finishing the shoot, Deng Chen wiped the sweat from his face, then took out his eyeballs and washed them with river water.

The woman saluted and thanked the two people before submerging into the river surface.

Lin Shuyou: “How long will it take to develop these photos?”

Deng Chen: “Rest assured, it will be very fast, just find a photo studio in the city.”

Lin Shuyou: “Then let’s go back after we’re done, anyway it’s already so late.”

Deng Chen: “Okay, that’s for sure. I can’t possibly let Xiao Yuan brother hold my eyeballs and look at the negatives inside.”

At this point, the photo studio was already closed. Lin Shuyou found one, climbed to the second floor, removed the window, went in, opened the door, and after Deng Chen developed the photos using the equipment inside, they left double the market price in the cashier box according to the number of photos. Before leaving, the two of them still cleaned the inside once.

Just like this busy, by the time the two came back, the sky was already vaguely bright.

Deng Chen was here for the first time. As soon as he stepped onto the embankment, his eyeballs kept turning, carefully observing the surroundings.

Liu aunt was just cutting vegetables in the kitchen. Through the kitchen window, she saw Deng Chen, and the strength and direction of her kitchen knife naturally adjusted a little. The snake meat was cut into slices, which were different from other meat.

Previously, Uncle Qin often brought home some big centipedes or giant snakes, and Liu aunt also often made dishes with them.

Deng Chen’s footsteps stiffened, and his body involuntarily trembled.

It was a good thing that Lin Shuyou pushed him from behind, which just let him walk into the house. Coming to the second floor, Li Zhuoyuan was just sitting on the balcony playing chess with A Li.

Lin Shuyou: “Xiao Yuan brother, we’re back.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “It was a hard trip.”

Deng Chen handed over a thick envelope with both hands and said: “It’s not hard, it’s not hard, these are the photos.”

Li Zhuoyuan took out the photos. Every photo was dynamic, with frowns and smiles, very complete. The poses, backgrounds, and compositions were also chosen very well.

The teenager could imagine Xue Liangliang’s silly smiling scene when he finished a day’s work and lay on the bed flipping through these photos.

Li Zhuoyuan: “Very good.”

Deng Chen: “As long as you’re satisfied.”

Li Zhuoyuan handed the envelope to Lin Shuyou and said: “Seal it again, and give these to… forget it, contact Liu Changping, let him go to Brother Liangliang’s place first to get the things, and then let him send these photos to Brother Liangliang.”

These photos, whether the photographer or the subject, were not ordinary things. If they were sent in a regular package, it would be easy to cause trouble if they were lost. It was still necessary to choose a reliable person to specially send them.

Li Zhuoyuan was also familiar with Liu Changping, that taxi driver. That person was very reliable in his work and was suitable for running between Jinling and Nantong.

Lin Shuyou: “Okay, Xiao Yuan brother, Liu Changping’s… I’ll contact him now.”

Lin Shuyou went downstairs and ran towards Aunt Zhang’s small shop. Aunt Zhang sometimes just slept in the shop, so no matter how early it was, she could open for business.

Tongzi’s voice rang in Lin Shuyou’s heart: “Are you stupid or not, you actually asked him for the number?”

Lin Shuyou: “But I don’t remember that taxi driver’s number ah…”

Tongzi: “Doesn’t Tan Wenbin have a contact book? You run over and look it up yourself, don’t you know?”

Lin Shuyou: “That’s more troublesome.”

Tongzi: “Heh, so you’re afraid of trouble yourself, and you go trouble your superior?”

Lin Shuyou: “It’s just a matter of one sentence, Xiao Yuan brother won’t be that particular.”

Tongzi: “You do too many things like this in one sentence, and your image and position will be fixed. Alas, I took the wrong path before, and I don’t hope you take it again.”

Lin Shuyou: “Tongzi, you are really annoying.”

Previously, tongzi was only summoned when there were matters, and the two sides didn’t exchange much. Now that tongzi was living inside his body, his desire to express himself was still strong, and he always liked to teach him how to do things, which made Lin Shuyou very unaccustomed.

Tongzi: “I’m doing this for your own good!”

Lin Shuyou: “Grandpa and master also often liked to say this before. Later, I couldn’t stand it and just left home to go to university.”

Tongzi: “It doesn’t matter, you can run around anywhere you want, you have to bring me wherever you go.”

Lin Shuyou first ran to the big beard’s home, flipped through Brother Bin’s contact book, and then went to Aunt Zhang’s place to page Liu Changping.

Liu Changping quickly called back and agreed immediately after hearing the matter.

Not to mention that the money for the chartered car was never delayed every time, just the fact that he could encounter happy events every time he carried them was enough to make Liu Changping happy to come here to drive.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shuyou hesitated a bit and asked: “That, Tongzi, you say, do I want to call my home?”

Tongzi: “As you please.”

Lin Shuyou: “It’s strange, according to reason, my home should also call me and inquire about my situation, after all, such a big matter happened in the temple this time.”

Tongzi: “They want to call, but they don’t dare.”

Lin Shuyou: “Then should I call or not?”

Tongzi: “Call your grandpa, your dad, and them over and have them kowtow to you?”

Lin Shuyou: “Then if you let them offer sacrifices now, the effect will be the same as inviting the official general before…”

Tongzi: “With bloodline as the tie, Ben Zhenjun will only be stronger!”

Lin Shuyou: “Then your grandpa and your dad and them should be willing to kowtow.”

Tongzi: “You are really a filial and sensible child.”

Lin Shuyou: “Then should I call?”

Tongzi: “Wait a while, I’m currently helping you heal and transforming your body, so I temporarily don’t have the energy to extract myself.”

Lin Shuyou: “Okay.”

Actually, there was another reason, which was that tongzi looked down on that little mosquito leg meat.

This little bit of silver should still be earned by that group of hopeless official generals.

When Lin Shuyou returned home again, he saw Deng Chen sitting by the well with a pale face, trembling all over.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Deng Chen trembled and raised his head: “I think… I want to… take photos for that girl…”

Thinking that the teenager was satisfied with his photography skills, Deng Chen just planned to perform again.

He had already noticed the girl playing chess with the teenager. Just one glance, this temperament and appearance, were enough to make any photographer crazy about this.

Truly good-looking people didn’t need too much shooting technology. Normal shooting would produce a masterpiece, it was just art.

He just casually proposed the idea of taking photos for this girl. The teenager didn’t refute, but looked at the girl. The girl raised her head and looked at him.

The two of them gazed at each other. Deng Chen mobilized his snake eyes, and then, in the girl’s eyes, he saw great terror.

Seeing the situation, the teenager let him go down and rest. He then panicked and ran down, curled up and trembled, sitting here to calm his emotions.

In the afternoon, Liu Changping arrived and brought Xue Liangliang’s gifts and that big brother.

Without staying for dinner, Liu Changping took the sealed photos and drove back to Jinling.

Deng Chen did not stay at Li Sanjiang’s home but continued to live in a hotel in Shipu town.

Several days passed consecutively, and Runsheng’s injury was improving at a visible speed. After all, for “dead fall,” with sufficient baleful qi, the recovery of injury and vitality was just a matter of time.

Tan Wenbin then woke up.

“Ah…”

“Oh…”

“Hiss…”

Li Zhuoyuan came to the big beard’s home and first went to see Runsheng in the forest, discovering that the water level in the pit had become low.

This meant that the one under the peach forest’s interest was slowly receding.

Of course, it had already done enough and well enough.

Immediately, Li Zhuoyuan entered the house to visit Tan Wenbin. Just as he went upstairs, he saw Lin Shuyou, stripped to his briefs, sitting there, undergoing a new type of scraping.

The gu insect lay on Lin Shuyou’s back, biting down mouthful by mouthful, pulling out the waste inside.

Although it was still painful, it was only painful for this while, and he didn’t need to be uncomfortable to the point of not being able to sleep at night.

It seemed that the gu insect had changed after swallowing that firefly, and Yinmeng was already exploring its use in practice.

Walking into Tan Wenbin’s room, the temperature inside was much lower than outside. Xiao Yingying slept in a room on the first floor, which was not as yin-heavy as Tan Wenbin’s place.

If this condition continued, Tan Wenbin’s plan to buy an air conditioner in the summer could be shelved, because he could cool down better than an air conditioner.

“Hiss… hiss… hiss…”

By the time Li Zhuoyuan came in, Tan Wenbin was curled up on the bed, wrapped tightly in three layers of quilt inside and three outside. Yinmeng even thoughtfully lit a charcoal basin in front of the bed for him.

These roles were better than nothing, just providing a psychological comfort role.

Previously, Tan Wenbin also became cold after fainting from using ghost techniques, but he had never been like this, completely unable to bear it.

“Brother Binbin.”

“Xiao Yuan brother.”

When Tan Wenbin spoke, his mouth exhaled white gas.

Li Zhuoyuan: “Are you uncomfortable?”

Tan Wenbin: “Yes.”

But as long as he could grit his teeth and bear it, Tan Wenbin would not admit it.

Li Zhuoyuan: “I have a way to relieve your pain.”

Tan Wenbin nodded forcefully.

Li Zhuoyuan: “That is to separate these two children from your body.”

Hearing these words, Tan Wenbin was stunned for a moment.

Li Zhuoyuan: “I have already asked Deng Chen to bring those three over. After separating these two children from your body, you can choose one or two from their four, and I will help you seal them into your body.”

Tan Wenbin: “Xiao Yuan brother, can they reincarnate now?”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Almost, they still lack a little bit. Detain them first, find a single altar to nurture them for a few years, and then they can be sent to reincarnate.”

Since the two resentful infants followed Tan Wenbin, they gained a lot of merit, but they were originally excluded from reincarnation qualification as a curse of resentment in their previous lives, belonging to those hated and abandoned by heaven.

Therefore, regaining reincarnation qualification was equivalent to changing fate against heaven, and the difficulty and price could be imagined.

Now, the merit was basically full, just lacking that last little shortfall, which could be satisfied after being supplied on the altar for a few years.

Because Tan Wenbin’s consciousness was carefully protected by the two children when he was fighting the monkey on the seabed, although Tan Wenbin was awake this time, these two children were still asleep.

Tan Wenbin turned his head to look at his left and right sides and asked: “Xiao Yuan brother, if the merit is enough or overflows, then will they reincarnate with a better fate in their next life?”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Theoretically yes, but fate is not entirely dependent on reincarnation.”

Tan Wenlong: “But if they reincarnate into a family with good conditions or a harmonious home, won’t life be easier, more relaxed, and happier?”

“Okay.”

“Then let’s wait until after the next wave to send them to reincarnate, and let them overflow with more merit.”

“You can’t stand it now. This is when they are not awake. When they wake up from sleep, you will only be more uncomfortable, and you won’t be able to bear it.”

“No, I can.” Tan Wenbin immediately lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and despite trembling from the cold, he tried to spread his arms, “Look, Xiao Yuan brother, it’s not that big… that big… that big a deal.”

Leaving the quilt cover and standing on the ground again, Tan Wenbin’s shriveled skin and flesh became more obvious.

His whole person now looked gloomy, vividly portraying the image of a sick ghost. Only old people who had been bedridden for many years would appear so skinny.

Lin Shuyou finished his “scraping” on that side and immediately walked into the room. Seeing Tan Wenbin standing there, looking as if a gust of wind could blow him down, his eyes became sore, and even if he tried to blink, he couldn’t help but have tears about to overflow.

Tan Wenbin lifted a finger and pointed at Lin Shuyou: “Stop, don’t get emotional this time.”

Immediately, Tan Wenbin looked at Li Zhuoyuan again and said: “Xiao Yuan brother, I want to properly send these two children off one last time. After all, they have really helped me a lot, bringing me such a useless godfather.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Make good psychological preparations. The more painful time is in the future.”

The previous wave just ended not long ago, and there is still quite a long time until the next wave. In addition, the completion of the next wave also takes time, which also means that Tan Wenbin has to endure this torture moment by moment for so long.

Tan Wenbin: “Will I die?”

Li Zhuoyuan: “You won’t die.”

Tan Wenbin: “Anyway, I won’t die, so what…”

Li Zhuoyuan: “You will wish you were dead.”

Tan Wenbin: “It doesn’t… matter!”

Li Zhuoyuan nodded, considering it an agreement, but still said: “Whenever you regret it, just say so. Those two children will understand you.”

Tan Wenbin: “As long as I endure a period of pain again, the two children can live a little easier and more comfortable in their next life. I just can’t understand myself giving up.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Then let’s just do it like this for now. Drag it out. A You, go ahead and prepare a wheelchair for Brother Binbin.”

Lin Shuyou: “That serious?”

Li Zhuoyuan: “When those two children wake up, he won’t be able to walk.”

Tan Wenbin immediately said: “But I feel like my body now has a very dense ghost qi, even if I sit in a wheelchair, it won’t affect me using those techniques.”

The premise of being willful was that it couldn’t affect the team’s interests, and Tan Wenbin was very clear on this point.

Li Zhuoyuan: “That’s true.”

Tan Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zhuoyuan walked out of the room and went to help Yinmeng check on the mutated gu insect.

Lin Shuyou stepped forward to support Tan Wenbin: “Brother Bin, since you like children so much, why don’t you have one with Zhou Yunyun first?”

Tan Wenbin: “What?”

Lin Shuyou: “It’s not bad to be like Xiong Shan and them and bring a child to Walk River ah.”

Tan Wenbin: “Little children are noisy. I just don’t like children now.”

“But you…”

“The child I have myself might not be filial to me in the future, but these two kids are truly risking their lives to be good to me. When I fainted, I felt that without their protection, I fundamentally wouldn’t be awake now, and it’s even possible that I would never wake up.”

“Oh, I understand.”

“Did Deng Chen come to Nantong?”

“Yes.”

“Call him over, help me and the two children take a photo together, I want to leave a memorial ahead of time.”

“Isn’t it still early?”

“Who knows what will happen first, the future or an accident? Besides, it’s not sure that Deng Chen won’t be here before the two children reincarnate, so without that condition, let’s just take it first, this way I’ll be at ease.”

Lin Shuyou specially went to the Shipu town hotel to pick up Deng Chen.

He told him about the matter on the way.

What surprised Lin Shuyou was that Deng Chen didn’t show the slightest loss or dissatisfaction, but instead appeared extremely happy.

Although missing a wave of merit was a regret and loss, today Tan Wenbin had affection and righteousness towards those two resentful infants, and he would treat them like this in the future.

By the time Deng Chen came over, Li Zhuoyuan had just finished helping Yinmeng analyze the mutated characteristics of the gu insect. He turned his head and said to Lin Shuyou and Deng Chen:

“The peach forest is suitable for taking scenes, go and take photos there.”

“Understand.”

“Okay… understand!”

Soon, Tan Wenbin, who had changed into loose clothes to try and cover his shriveled skin and flesh, was arranged to lean against a peach tree.

“Good, good, good, try to relax a little more, yes, yes, yes, no mistake, very good, very warm.”

In Deng Chen’s “view”, Tan Wenbin, leaning against the tree, appeared very lazy. On his shoulders, the two children were sleeping sweetly, and the whole picture was full of warmth.

When taking photos, Li Zhuoyuan also walked into the peach forest and deliberately stood in a more interior position.

“Click!”

Along with the sound of the shutter, Deng Chen’s eyes also flashed with light.

In the peach forest, along with the rise of some yin wind.

Deng Chen held the camera with some doubt and wanted to look into the depths of the peach forest, but the experienced Lin Shuyou covered his eyes ahead of time:

“Don’t blindly look at places you shouldn’t.”

In Li Zhuoyuan’s ear, its voice appeared: “What is this? A little familiar.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “《Five Senses Seal Picture》. I killed a pig, and the remaining four submitted to me.”

“Five Senses Picture?”

“Yes, Wei Zhengdao once used it to seal himself. He didn’t want longevity, he always tried to commit suicide.”

“Heh… hehe… hehehe… hahaha!”

In the sound of laughter,

The water in Runsheng’s pit was full and overflowing.
