"Marquis Runsheng, stop in front of you."
Runsheng stopped the tricycle, bent down and reached out to lift the brake lever.
Li Sanjiang took out the money from his pocket, didn't count it, and handed it to Runsheng: "Go over there to buy some steamed buns, and then go to the store next door to buy me a bottle of wine."
"What, drinking early in the morning?"
"Just go when you are told, where is so much nonsense."
"Okay."
Runsheng bought the buns and wine back.
Li Sanjiang bit the bottle cap with his teeth, shook his head and spit it out, then picked up the wine bottle and took a big sip.
"Eh...... Forehead...... Huh......
This bite in the morning was so stuffy that he had to bite several bites of the bun before he pressed it down.
"Why don't you eat?"
"Uncle, I left in a hurry in the morning, I didn't bring incense."
"Then you still buy so many buns, and they will be cold when you take them back."
"It's delicious when it's cold, this is a meat bun!"
"Go home, go home, go home."
"Then sit down, don't drink so much that you fall down."
Li Sanjiang gave him a blank look, then raised the wine bottle and took a sip.
When he wanted to take a bite of the bun again, he burped with wine, and then the whole person suddenly looked lonely, with tears in his eyes, so he had to turn his head, reach out and pull Runsheng's vest and wipe it.
Runsheng looked back and asked: "Uncle, shouldn't you be happy, why are you crying again?"
"I'm happy, I'm happy."
"Xiaoyuan doesn't fall into your household registration, uncle, isn't this called happiness?"
"Lao Tzu's household registration is useful, can it be compared to the household registration in the city, can it be compared to the household registration in the capital?"
"What's wrong with the Jingli household registration?"
"What's wrong? It's like the carp finally jumped up the dragon gate, but the fucking jumped down from the dragon gate and turned back into a carp."
"It's good to be a carp, so Xiaoyuan doesn't have to go."
Li Sanjiang sighed, raised his hand, and gave himself two slaps.
I was called to the Civil Affairs Bureau by the village chief early in the morning, and as soon as I entered, I was surrounded by several staff members, and the documents were placed in front of me, saying that Xiao Yuanhou had asked for it from his mother to transfer the child's household registration here.
I only felt inexplicable at the time, although he really liked this child, but it was absolutely impossible to do such a thing that would ruin the child's future!
But what people mean is that Xiao Yuanhou's mother seems to have something wrong, this child's household registration problem must be solved, if he doesn't sign today and the documents are returned, then Xiao Yuanhou will have to become a black household and will not be able to study in the future.
With this red-faced and white-faced rush, Li Sanjiang signed the words in a daze.
Even if the child Grandpa Bei doesn't want it, if he wants to fall down, he has to fall to Li Weihan, what's the matter with himself?
Although the child lives here now, what does it have to do with himself?
However, it is relevant now.
Li Sanjiang looked down at the bag under his feet, which contained the household registration book and other documents.
"Damn it, why is the work efficiency of a public unit so high today?"
He took out the household registration book, opened it, and looked at the extra name under his account.
Li Sanjiang had mixed feelings in his heart, this old Li family finally came up with a golden phoenix, flew to Beijing, and laid an egg, but this egg was lost in his hometown again:
"Alas, after decades of hard work, I returned to before liberation overnight."
……
"Well, it's only been one night, why are you all going back?"
Liu Yumei was holding a teacup in her hand, and the tea was cold, so she didn't drink it.
Looking at her granddaughter sitting motionless behind the threshold, she only felt bitter in her mouth, and when she drank this tea into her mouth, it was even more bitter.
She cried with joy last night, she knew she would have left some tears, but now she can't cry even if she wants to.
Looking up at the terrace on the second floor, the boy sat on a wicker chair, reading the book carefully, but occasionally looked down at Ah Li when turning the pages.
Liu Yumei really wanted to scold people in her heart: You kid, don't just look at it!
If there is a fight between ordinary children, shout to each other: "Hmph, I will never play with you again!"
Then they ignored each other as if they were angry, which is quite common and normal.
But Liu Yumei knew that this kind of thing would not happen to her granddaughter, let alone the boy, who was smart and calm, and couldn't do such a childish thing.
So, what happened to the two of them?
After hesitating repeatedly, Liu Yumei still stood up and walked into the main house.
On weekdays, she wouldn't go here, let alone go up to the second floor, but today, she had to make an exception.
Seeing that everything was steadily improving with Ah Li, she suddenly returned to her original state, her heart was like a stone burned hot and then poured with a basin of water, and it was about to crack.
She had to ask what happened, it wasn't that she was favoring one over the other, she had to ask the boy if something happened, if she could ask the question from Ali's mouth, would she still need to live here?
As she approached, the boy also stood up with the book.
"Xiaoyuan, grandma is here to talk to you."
"Grandma, sit down."
Liu Yumei sat down on the wicker chair that Ah Li had used to have, and glanced at the book in the boy's hand out of the corner of her eye, only to feel that it was a ghost drawing talisman, and she couldn't understand what was written at all.
"Reading?"
"Hmm."
Li Chaiyuan politely put the book beside him, and half-sideways turned to Liu Yumei to listen carefully, well, he just read "Liu's Qiqi Jue".
"You and Ahri, what's wrong?"
"Grandma, it's my fault."
He was hit hard last night because of the words on Li Lan's phone.
Li Chaiyuan lowered his head and looked at his bandaged palm.
She plucked up the courage to walk out of the darkness and came to the balcony, where she began to carefully observe and contact the world.
Just yesterday, Ah Li discovered that bricks appeared on the balcony, which meant that the balcony might be sealed.
It is unimaginable how desperate the girl was when she saw the wound on her palm last night.
She had already imprisoned herself under the dark dry well, and one day a rope was lowered on it, and someone kept talking to her at the mouth of the well, and just as she was about to climb up the rope, she found that above her head, the person who had been encouraging her had grabbed the rope and came down.
Li Zhuiyuan knew that because the girl had been full of himself, his sinking would hurt her even more.
No, she came last night, she wanted to accompany her, she was not afraid that she would be depressed, she couldn't accept that she gave up.
Like Li Lan, give up the struggle and give up on yourself.
The light in her eyes was herself, but she turned it off last night.
"Hey, now it's more serious who is doing what is right and who is wrong, grandma wants to ask you, Xiaoyuan, do you have any other way to make Ah Li change back to the way he was a few days ago, is that okay?"
"Yes."
Liu Yumei looked excited: "Really, what should I do?"
"I can't do it yet, grandma, I need some time."
"You need time...... That, what exactly are you doing?"
"Read a book."
"Reading?"
Liu Yumei frowned slightly, she suspected that the boy in front of her was entertaining her, but after thinking about it, she suddenly felt that it made sense, in her impression, it seemed that the boy was reading on the second floor before, looking at it, Ah Li took the initiative to walk towards him.
Could it be that her granddaughter likes the atmosphere of a scholar?
Liu Yumei thought about it, is it because she likes to let Ah Li wear ancient costumes, and she usually likes to read scripts like "The West Chamber"?
"Grandma, Ah Li has already returned to the house."
"What?" Liu Yumei looked down and found that Ah Li was still sitting behind the threshold, not moving at all, "Aren't you still there?"
"I have to find a way to call Ah Li out again so that I can apologize to her in person."
Liu Yumei couldn't understand it, but seeing that the boy spoke very organically, she felt inexplicably relieved.
"Then you, read the book carefully."
"Okay, grandma."
Liu Yumei went down.
Li Zhuiyuan picked up "Liu's Qi Technique" again, this ghostly talisman-like word, looked away for a while, and had to look for the feeling again, otherwise he wouldn't be able to understand it at all.
After reading another page, when turning the page, Li Chaiyuan looked at the girl downstairs.
He was not dissatisfied with the girl's sudden "departure", he liked this feeling of being needed.
I finally have a mask that I can't take off.
Li Lan, you failed in your search, I found it.
When Liu Yumei returned downstairs, her expression became a little more relaxed, and she made herself a pot of tea again.
At this time, Runsheng rode a tricycle up the dam.
"Uncle, we're home, we're home, uncle, wake up, wake up."
Liu Yumei stepped forward and asked: "What's wrong?"
"The grandfather is drunk."
"Yo, are you going out for breakfast drinks?"
"I got drunk while drinking." Runsheng took out the empty wine bottle in the car, the mouth of the bottle was down, and there was really not a drop.
"You carry him up."
"Hey."
Runsheng grabbed Li Sanjiang's shoulder with his left hand, and with his right hand, the whole person fell over, and Li Sanjiang got on his back.
Liu Yumei asked: "Who taught you to memorize like this?"
"Ah, no one taught you? If you carry a lot of corpses, you will get used to it."
"Remember not to memorize it like this next time, it's unlucky."
"Hey, I know."
Liu Yumei waved her hand to dispel the smell of wine in front of her, and at the same time motioned for Runsheng to quickly carry the person away.
Runsheng ran into the house and went up to the second floor in one go.
Liu Yumei walked back to her coffee table and habitually picked up the teacup with her index and ring fingers.
When it was mentioned in mid-air, the cup body shook, but the tea soup inside did not spill out a trace.
Liu Yumei was surprised:
"Is this filled again?"
……
"Xiaoyuan, help me open the door, your great-grandfather drank it."
Li Chaiyuan opened the screen door and accompanied Runsheng to place Li Sanjiang on the bed, Li Sanjiang blushed, looking drunk and unconscious.
Immediately, Li Chaiyuan and Runsheng walked out of the room and went outside.
"What the hell is going on?"
The grandfather loves to drink, but he doesn't have the point of drinking in the morning.
Runsheng scratched his head and said: "Xiaoyuan, your household registration has been moved to the uncle, and it seems that all the student status has been transferred."
Li Chaiyuan was stunned for a moment, is it so fast?
On the phone last night, when Li Lan said that he wanted to transfer his household registration, he said that he was now living in Li Sanjiang's house and deliberately hinted, obviously, Li Lan understood.
Of course, it was strange that she didn't understand, and their mother and son recognized each other's brains.
It seems that the project that Li Lan is going to participate in this time is indeed very important, and the family resettlement has been specially handled, and even those old professors can't stop it.
"Xiaoyuan, I'll go down and eat steamed buns first."
"Well, you go, Brother Runsheng."
After Runsheng went down, Li Chaiyuan took a washbasin to wash a towel, then pushed open Li Sanjiang's door again and walked in.
Li Sanjiang was lying on the bed, his left arm was across his forehead, and his feet were spread apart.
Li Chaiyuan squeezed the towel dry and handed it to Li Sanjiang.
"Master, wipe your face."
Li Sanjiang didn't move.
"Grandpa drinks well, he's not drunk, and he will snore even when he really falls asleep."
"Ahem...... Li Sanjiang opened his eyes and looked at Li Chaiyuan next to the bed, "Xiaoyuanhou, my grandfather did something wrong."
"No, it was my grandfather who took me in."
"You are still young, and you may not know what the capital household registration means."
"Master, that is not that important."
"What do you know, when you grow up in the future, you will definitely be angry and regret it, listen to your grandfather, find a way to find your grandfather Bei, and let them get it back for you."
"Master, my surname is Li now."
"Alas, tell me, what is this called by your mother, you don't feel distressed, grandpa, I feel sorry for you, my grandfather feels sorry for you, I'm really sorry for you, my family's future is ruined like this."
"Grandpa, it's okay, it's a big deal for me and Li ...... Just like my mother, just get into a university in a big city."
"By the way, I almost forgot about going to school!"
Li Sanjiang got off the bed with a carp, then quickly ran to the stool and opened the bag containing the household registration book file bag and other things.
"Grandpa still has to ask someone to find a school for you, can Heather Primary School work? Forget it, Shigang is older, let's go to Shigang to study elementary school."
"Elementary ......"
"Let me tell you, Xiao Yuanhou, you can play as you like during the summer vacation, but when school officially starts, you must not fall behind, you have to focus on studying."
"Master, do you know anyone in your school?"
"Can't you find someone you don't know? Even if you can't find something direct, just find someone who can send money indirectly with peace of mind.
I heard that there are also good classes in the school, so we have to send you to a good class no matter what.
By the way, Xiaoyuan, what grade are you in?"
"Master, Uncle Tan was very good last time."
"Uncle Tan, which Uncle Tan?"
"It's Captain Tan from the police station."
"I've only seen him twice, I'm not familiar with him, besides, people are not from school."
"Shigang Town is so big, it must be more convenient for him to come forward, he invited me to his house last time to play, I will take the file with me later, ask him."
"Okay, then grandpa, I'll go with you then."
"No, in case he can't do it, how embarrassing it would be for you to go again, or is it suitable for me as a child to speak."
"Then let's do this first, ask when you go to his house, and I will find someone here too."
Seeing that Li Sanjiang agreed, Li Chaiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was reluctant to leave here now, but he didn't want to be sent to elementary school by his grandfather all at once.
Although Captain Tan has not had much contact, he owed himself a favor last time, and he should be able to help, mainly to help himself skip a grade, preferably to skip a grade in his third year of high school.
In this way, after a year, you will be able to take the college entrance examination.
If you want to shorten the time, you can also participate in the National Mathematical Olympiad held every winter to get a guaranteed place.
But where to go to college?
Since Li Lan didn't want to see her, she wouldn't go to her place.
Li Zhuiyuan suddenly thought of a school, which was very suitable for him from name to major...... Haihe University.
Thinking of this, Li Chaiyuan couldn't help but smile in his heart:
Brother Liangliang, it seems that we will really be alumni in the future.
The grandfather scratched his ears and cheeks and thought about his interpersonal network, while Li Chaiyuan walked out and continued to read.
When Aunt Liu called for dinner at noon, she put down her book and went downstairs to eat.
Sitting on his small bench, looking at the empty side and the girl's small plates on the table, he really felt empty.
Turning her head to look, she found that Ah Li's small dining table was brought to the east room, and Liu Yumei persuaded her while sorting the amount of dishes for her.
Finally, Ahri picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Liu Yumei nodded happily, and when she stood up again, she only felt a little sore back.
For a while, she suddenly felt a sense of urgency in her heart, she was getting older and older, if she waited for her to leave, Ah Li's illness was not cured, then who would take care of Ah Li?
Li Sanjiang also came down to eat, and after sitting down, he saw Li Chaiyuan sitting there alone, and then looked for it, and found that the girl was sitting in the house, and immediately threw his chopsticks and said dissatisfiedly:
"I said, is it so realistic, isn't our Xiaoyuanhou just without a household registration in the capital, good guy, you don't want to eat at the same table?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Pan Zi and Lei Zi running over sweating.
"Master, grandfather, it's not good, something happened to the fish pond of Sihaizi's family. When the pond was first raised, a lot of red water suddenly turned out of it, just like blood, Sihaizi and those who went down to the fish pond to set nets were all rotten!"
"Master, the people over there asked us to come over and take a look."
"What?" Li Sanjiang stood up suddenly, "Runsheng, let's go, go and take a look!"
After Li Zhuiyuan heard the description, he silently thought in his heart: Is the earth cloudy and red?
Liu Yumei stroked her temples, also wondering, how could there be a red earth in this land boundary?
Runsheng reluctantly put down the rice bowl and followed Li Sanjiang.
Li Zhuyuan did not go, and he would not go to the water's edge until he confirmed that his good luck problem was solved.
Back on the second floor, Li Chaiyuan opened the book again and continued to read.
It's just that if the earth is yin and red, there should be no danger on the grandfather's side, because the pattern of the earth yin and red evil will only appear in the position of the bait hole.
In fact, many ancients would choose to bury things in rivers, such as tombs, temples, treasures, etc.
Sediment accumulation and river channel changes make it easier to quickly form "vicissitudes of life", making it more difficult to find.
The Earth Yin Red Evil is a more traditional feng shui mechanism layout, once it is touched, its internal contents can quickly scatter with the water rolling around, causing harm to prying eyes.
But they are basically used in bait holes, that is, deliberately arranged traps, specifically for fishing water monkeys.
However, this also shows that there is likely to be a main cave nearby, but I don't know what is buried in it.
Li Chaiyuan was not interested in looking for it, because the ground was conditionally arranged to be red, and what was built back then must have been "buried alive", not referring to burying living people, but to the underwater buildings he built, which can move with changes in the hydrological pattern.
Therefore, it may be that when it was built, it was standard between several bait holes and the main hole, but now, you don't know where the mess has gone, even if you know a bait hole, you can't calculate the location of the main hole.
The Sihai family was also unlucky, and they didn't know if their fish pond happened to be dug on the bait hole, or if the bait hole moved to the bottom of his fish pond by itself.
Of course, if it weren't for the above two situations, the nature of the matter might have changed, and it might really be that a water monkey was hooked.
All afternoon, Li Chaiyuan was reading, and the grandfather and Runsheng did not come back until dinner.
During the meal, Li Sanjiang said something about what happened in the Sihai family.
Two outsiders wanted to contract the fish pond of Sihaijia at a high price to raise soft-shelled turtles, so although it was not yet time to build the pond, Sihai decided to clear the pond and rent it out.
As a result, when Sihai and his son went to the pond to set up nets at noon, something happened to them, and the two outsiders who were helping together in the pond at that time were all burned to a large area as if they had been rolled by lime water.
As soon as the ritual was completed, the pond full of red water went down, and the villagers said that Uncle Sanjiang had calmed down the evil spirits.
When he said this, Li Sanjiang also touched his chin in a good mood, and took a sip of wine by the way.
Li Chaiyuan guessed that it should be that after the earth yin red demon was touched and released, the bait hole was opened, and the water in the pond was finally poured into the bait hole.
In addition, those two outsiders are really warm-hearted, not only contracting fish ponds at high prices, but also helping to clear the fish ponds together.
After the meal, Li Chaiyuan was about to go upstairs to ride his horse, but was mysteriously stopped by Runsheng.
"Xiaoyuan, come here."
Li Chaiyuan followed Runsheng to the side of the tricycle, Runsheng lifted the white plastic sheet on it, and there was a shovel with an age lying inside.
"Xiaoyuan, look, is this shovel a bit similar to our Yellow River shovel? But it's just a bit similar, but it's not as good as ours."
Li Chaiyuan took the shovel and tried to fold and deform it a few times, the core structure is indeed the same as that of the Yellow River shovel, but the details are too different.
But this thing is indeed old, and there are many traces of repair, so it is an old object.
"Brother Runsheng, this is what you picked up by the fish pond today?"
"Well, I didn't dare to tell the uncle that I secretly picked it up, because I smelled the smell of corpses on it."
Li Chaiyuan leaned over and sniffed it, he didn't smell it, but he believed in Runsheng's judgment, because professional corpse fishermen often have a sensitivity to the smell of water corpses that is incomprehensible to ordinary people. "Are they those two outsiders?"
"I don't know, all four of them were seriously injured when I went there, and this thing was thrown by the pond."
"You did a great job, Brother Runsheng."
"Ah...... I thought Xiaoyuan would blame me for stealing things."
"This is not an ordinary thing."
The old imitation Yellow River shovel still smells like a water corpse, almost clearly indicating that it must be used by those water monkeys.
Water monkeys refer to underwater thieves, when they steal and dig, if they are detected by people on the shore, they will often drag people into the water to kill and silence them.
"Xiaoyuan, is it useful?"
"It's useful, Brother Runsheng, if you smell this again in the future, remember to remind me in time."
"Okay, no problem."
"Oh, by the way, Brother Runsheng, you can play cards with me for a while."
"What, play cards with you?" Runsheng thought of the scene of Xiaoyuan killing the four directions at the entrance of the hall that day, in his eyes, Xiaoyuan was simply another gambling god Gao Jin.
"Play a few handfuls, no money."
There was already an opened poker in the drawer, Li Chaiyuan and Runsheng sat opposite each other, and Runsheng shuffled the cards and dealt them, very simple, they were all three fried golden flowers, and after they were dealt, they were directly opened to compare the size.
Twenty were distributed, Runsheng won eight, and he won twelve.
Li Chaiyuan changed to shuffle and deal cards by himself, and after twenty handfuls, he won nine and Runsheng won eleven.
It seems that the special good fortune in my body has disappeared?
But, what price did he pay?
Li Chaiyuan sat there, continuing to play playing cards in his hand, he had been waiting for a big one to come, but the big one never came.
Forget it, I don't want to, I'll find Runsheng to play cards tomorrow morning to compare the size, if it's still this normal win-loss ratio, then I can go out.
Touya.
Aunt Liu was combing Liu Yumei's hair and sighed: "That little Yuanhu has landed here, this child is really unlucky, he has fallen so big."
"Fell a big somersault? Maybe the kid himself doesn't feel anything."
"That's because he's still young, doesn't he understand?"
"A Ting, it's not that you haven't had contact with him, do you really think he's just a child?"
"Not like."
"For ordinary people, when encountering this kind of thing, I am afraid that their lifelong luck will be broken, and they will be devastated.
But this rule ladder is only built for ordinary people, and it is nothing to the real one.
In a peaceful world, they can go up if they want, and there are many methods, which ordinary people can't envy."
"You are right, it is indeed true."
"But this is good, I was worried that he would leave after the summer vacation, but at present, it seems that he will continue to live here for a while."
"Does Xiaoyuan have an explanation for Ah Li's illness?"
"He said there was a way, but he had to read a book."
"What is this method?"
"Let's wait and see what happens, we are old, and we can't understand the affairs of young people."
……
Early the next morning, when Li Chaiyuan woke up, he habitually looked sideways, and there was still no one on the chair at the door.
"Alas......
After Li Chaiyuan got up and washed up, he read a book outside for a while, and when he went down to have breakfast, there was still no Ah Li by his side.
After the meal, Li Zhuiyuan pulled Runsheng and continued to play cards like last night, and the winning and losing ratio was very healthy.
Now, I finally felt relieved that I could go out.
……
"Team Tan, good morning."
"Good morning, Team Tan."
"Well, you guys are early."
Tan Yunlong entered the office wearing civilian clothes and rode a motorcycle into the office, greeting colleagues passing by.
It was actually early in the morning, and he also took leave to arrive late, because it was early in the morning, so he went to his son's school to meet the teacher.
His son had a fight outside the school last night, and there was a lot of noise, which almost caused a group fight.
But he didn't blame his son, because his son was to protect his bullied classmates.
Tan Yunlong has always been very open to his son's learning, if his grades are not top-notch, he will not be top-notch, and if he can't get into a good university in the college entrance examination, he won't be able to get into the college entrance examination, as long as his character is correct.
This is also the reason why when he was transferred to work, he did not hesitate to quarrel with his wife and transfer his son to a school near his workplace.
He knew that if he didn't control the child's character well, no matter how he cultivated him, it would be meaningless.
Walking into the office building, the colleagues he met along the way continued to greet him warmly, and although there were vicious cases in the jurisdiction, they were detected quickly, for which he was also commended.
Even the director hinted to him to take this opportunity to run more, after all, the old relationship is still there, and he can be transferred back as a matter of course after making meritorious contributions, but Tan Yunlong didn't make any moves, he felt that it was good to be at the township police station.
Pushing open the office door, Tan Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and closed the door.
He picked up the kettle, made a cup of tea, and handed it to the boy.
The boy took out something wrapped in newspaper from under his feet and opened it in front of him, it was a shovel.
The cultural relics unearthed underground are all state-owned, and it is illegal to steal them privately, and their channels for selling stolen goods are often abroad, so they should be called to the police in time.
After listening to the boy's concise narration, Tan Yunlong got up and walked out of the office, arranged for someone to go to the ward of the health center for control, and then he closed the door and sat back.
"It seems that this time you have something to ask me for help."
"Well, Uncle Tan, I would like to ask you to help me arrange admission, this is my file."
Tan Yunlong looked at these documents, and then couldn't understand: "What kind of operation is this?"
"I want to go to school."
"Okay, I'll help you contact the town primary school, what grade did you go to before?" Tan Yunlong took the student status certificate and looked at it carefully, "Is the junior class a primary school? The name of this university, tsk tsk, did you go to the primary school affiliated to this university before?"
"I want to skip a grade."
"Jump to sixth grade? I know that Jingli has good educational resources, but the competition among students here is also quite fierce.
"Senior year."
"Well, senior high school...... What?" Tan Yunlong raised his head and stared at the boy, "Are you sure, are you not joking?"
"Uncle Tan, you can help me arrange the process of skipping grades, and I will do the exam and test myself."
Li Chaiyuan knew that there were grade-skipping policies everywhere, and many of his classmates jumped up like this at that time.
"Is it really fake?" Tan Yunlong became interested, "Listening to your tone, the college entrance examination is over now, otherwise, you can prepare for the college entrance examination directly."
"No, I still want to stay here for a while, I am reluctant to leave."
"Well, I can help you, but in order to avoid making a big fool of myself, you have to go to my house for dinner tonight, and my son is about to enter his third year of high school."
"Not tonight, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Seeing that the boy was so calm, Tan Yunlong couldn't help but believe it and asked: "Are you that kind of genius child?"
Li Zhuiyuan hesitated for a moment, and it seemed that he should be a sick child.
"Then why did you run to do that?" Tan Yunlong waved his hand, referring to the corpse.
This time Li Chaiyuan's answer was very firm:
"It's fun, it's fun."
"If you are really this kind of person, you should still study hard and serve the country."
"Aren't I doing it?"
"I don't mean that. Okay, then tomorrow night, I'll pick you up at your house, and I remember where you live."
"Okay." Li Zhuiyuan stood up and bowed to Tan Yunlong, "Thank you, uncle."
Tan Yunlong also stood up, walked sideways towards the boy, and touched his head: "It's uncle who has to thank you."
Before noon, Li Chaiyuan returned home on Runsheng's tricycle.
A few bricklayers came to the house and were building a house in the back room.
Aunt Liu came over with a smile and said to Li Chaiyuan:
"Your great-grandfather just asked what was wrong, I said that you asked to build a handicraft room for yourself, your great-grandfather actually nodded, didn't ask again, turned around and entered the house and took the money to me, but I pushed him back and said that the money was enough.
He asked me where the money came from, and I said that Runsheng won by playing cards."
"Hey."
Runsheng, who was parking next to him, had a smirk on his face.
Li Chaiyuan turned his head and reminded: "Brother Runsheng, don't run quickly."
"What?"
In the main house, a figure suddenly appeared, holding a rattan for tying paper, and went straight to Runsheng:
"I told you not to learn well, who is not good at learning from your family's mountain cannon to play cards and gamble money, see if I don't kill you, kill you!"
Runsheng runs, and the grandfather chases.
The two circled around the field in front of the dam and started spinning.
Li Zhuiyuan sighed in his heart, the grandfather is really good.
The cold is also so neat, and I haven't picked up bird droppings recently, it seems that after the problem of good luck on my side is solved, the grandfather has also returned to normal.
Immediately, Li Chaiyuan looked at the east room, and Ah Li was still sitting behind the threshold, motionless, like an exquisite sculpture.
These days, without the company of a girl, reading is really just reading.
Liu Yumei winked at Li Chaiyuan and motioned for him to step forward and try to contact Ah Li again.
Li Chase didn't go, but went straight into the house and went up to the second floor, and he almost finished reading "Liu's Qijue".
He stayed up late every day to watch it for a while, forcibly improving his progress.
Liu Yumei sat on a chair, looking at the second floor, and a feeling of boredom rose uncontrollably in her heart.
But this boy is really just reading a book every day, why don't you come and try it, how do you know if it's okay if you don't try? Girls need to be coaxed.
Since she was a child, Ah Li was just this playmate, and Liu Yumei didn't believe that her granddaughter had no feelings for the boy at all.
After lunch, Li Chaiyuan continued to read, and in the afternoon, Li Chaiyuan finally finished reading the book.
He leaned back, lying on a wicker chair, and was seizing the time to organize and sublimate the contents of the book.
Although his eyes were closed, the weather and pictures recorded in the words in the book appeared in his mind, and his left and right hands kept gesturing irregularly, in the eyes of outsiders, this was a boy who closed his eyes and imagined that he was a music conductor, but in Li Zhuiyuan's perception, he was fiddling with the different water environments on one side.
This type of book has a limited rote memorization effect, and it must be based on a deep understanding to achieve a mystery similar to art appreciation before it can be considered a real introductory mastery.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from his face, and his brows were sometimes tight and sometimes sparse.
After being thoroughly sorted out, the boy opened his eyes, his eyes full of exhaustion.
When he sat up, he found that his face was sticky, it turned out to be a nosebleed, a lot of blood, and his clothes were soaked in a large amount of red.
Li Chaiyuan knew that this was a warning given by the body due to overuse of the brain.
In a few days, he thoroughly understood "Liu's Qi Looking Technique", even for him, it was a huge challenge, but fortunately, he completed it, but this kind of thing can no longer be done in the future.
Otherwise, he is very worried, don't have mental problems, his body will have problems first.
After taking a bath, changing clothes, and washing the bloody clothes by himself, Li Chaiyuan went downstairs and told Aunt Liu that he was sleepy and skipped dinner, and then walked to the back of the house again.
Li Sanjiang took Runsheng to give hands to the bricklayers, and the workshop was built against the back wall of the main house, and it could be completed before nightfall.
Li Chaiyuan told Li Sanjiang that he didn't eat dinner, he read and studied too late last night, he couldn't stand it, and he wanted to go to bed first.
Originally, I was just afraid that my grandfather would worry and that my grandfather would come to check on my situation at night and disturb my rest, so I came to say it deliberately.
But after hearing his words, Li Sanjiang's eyes immediately turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand to signal Li Chaiyuan to go back to sleep and rest.
After Li Chaiyuan left, Li Sanjiang wiped his eyes with the back of his hand:
"He said he didn't care to make me feel better, but Xiao Yuanhou was also anxious, listen, he didn't think about studying at all before, when did he study hard late at night?"
When returning to the front of the house from the back of the house, passing by the door of the east house, Li Chaiyuan could only walk close to the wall and keep a sufficient distance, otherwise Ah Li would be stressed.
At a safe distance, Li Zhuyuan stood there and looked at the girl for a long time.
He had been worried before that he would not be able to adapt to not seeing Ah Li when he returned to Beijing in the future?
Now he didn't have to worry, he knew he couldn't adapt at all.
Just as Ali is already accustomed to darkness, and he is also accustomed to various masks.
If you haven't experienced it, it's completely the same as before, but it's because you've experienced it...... So, I can't go back.
"Xiaoyuan, come, drink tea with grandma."
"No, grandma, I'm tired, so I went back to the house to sleep."
Back in the room, Li Zhuyuan lay down on the bed and started sleeping, he was really tired.
After waking up, he got out of bed and first came to the grandfather's house to pick up some things.
Then I came downstairs, the TV was on, and the color was fixed.
Runsheng was lying on the floor made of the table, holding the little black dog in his arms, sleeping soundly.
Of course, it doesn't need to be raised, because most of the time it sleeps in its kennel, and it took several days for the grandfather to find out that there was an extra dog at home.
"Brother Runsheng, wake up."
"Hmm...... What's wrong, Xiaoyuan?"
"Brother Runsheng, go out with me and put on all the utensils."
"Okay!"
Li Chaiyuan went to get some incense candles and some ingredients in the kitchen, and when he came out, he saw Runsheng preparing to push the tricycle:
"Brother Runsheng, it's not far, let's walk over."
"Okay." Runsheng followed with a cannabis bag on his back, lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoyuan, are we going to them?"
"Who are you doing?"
"Just the guys who contract the fish pond."
"They have police control."
"Then what are we going to do?"
"Please help."
Runsheng turned his head to look at the sack he was carrying, and then looked at the incense candle offering in Li Zhuiyuan's hand:
"Please help me, do you want to bring this?"
Li Chaiyuan led Runsheng to a fish pond, and the fish pond was directly opposite the bearded man's house.
The bearded wife has already been there with her eldest son, and this house is currently planned to be sold, but firstly, the homestead is not easy to sell to foreigners, and secondly, someone has just drowned in front of this door.
Therefore, this is currently one of the most secluded places in the village.
Li Chaiyuan stood in front of the fish pond, first closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them, and the content of "Liu's Qiwang Technique" appeared in his mind.
At the beginning, he was the one who led the little oriole here, but now, he has to make sure that the little oriole is still there.
The color of the water, the state of the aquatic plants, the shore, including the wind blowing through it, all these tiny details made up the weather in Li Chaiyuan's mind.
Li Chaiyuan walked slowly along the edge of the fish pond, observing carefully, and finally, he determined that there were dead people hiding in this fish pond.
The little oriole is still here.
"Brother Runsheng, here, here, and there, dig a small hole and insert incense."
"Hmm." Runsheng picked up the Yellow River shovel and got busy.
Li Zhuiyuan threw the sacrifice he brought to a specific location in the pond, and then placed two candles at the reception point on the southwest side of the pond and lit them.
After doing this, Li Chaiyuan picked up a stack of yellow paper and lit it with a candle.
"Brother Runsheng, don't do it until I call you later, you should stay away now and follow us when the time comes."
Runsheng stood obediently at a distance, and then wondered: "Come with us?"
Li Zhuiyuan waved the burning yellow paper and chanted in his mouth:
"Boy Li Chaiyuan, please get out of the water and make three sacrifices afterwards."
"Snap!"
The yellow paper slapped into the soil and extinguished.
Li Zhuiyuan turned around, his back to the pond, holding the incense burner in his left hand and the bell in his right hand.
Although Runsheng stood far away, he could also see it clearly, and saw bursts of ripples suddenly on the pond behind Li Chaiyuan, and then the figure of a long-haired woman slowly went ashore.
Die!
Runsheng's breathing immediately became rapid, he wanted to shout Xiaoyuan in danger, but after thinking about it, this death was obviously recruited by Xiaoyuan himself.
Immediately afterwards, his brain turned again: Oh my God, Xiaoyuan can actually lead to death!
He has been following his grandfather to collect corpses since he was a child, and he has been passive every time, but he has never seen or thought that he could have such an active way!
Xiao Yuan, how did he do it?
Two cold hands fell on his shoulders, and Li Chaiyuan felt his body sink, and then wet water stains soaked his clothes.
This familiar feeling is back.
But this time, he wasn't very afraid in his heart, but to be on the safe side, he still called Runsheng.
"Ding Ding Ding...... Ding ding ding...... Ding Ding Ding ......"
The crisp sound of the bell rang, and Li Chaseyuan began to move forward, and the figure behind him was also following him.
Under the moonlight,
Cast two figures, one tall and one short.
……
East Room Bedroom.
Liu Yumei was holding a cattail fan and was fanning the wind for Ali, but Ali opened her eyes and hadn't slept yet.
In the past, the kid coaxed him to sleep every night, but when Ah Li returned to the house, he obediently closed his eyes, trying to get himself to fall asleep and get up early to dress up to see him.
Suddenly, Liu Yumei seemed to feel something, got up and walked to the window to take a look, and then, she looked at Ah Li on the bed again, only to see that Ah Li's eyes that were originally open slowly closed at this time.
"This ...... This is ...... This is ......"
After a long time, she thought of what the boy had said to her the day before yesterday:
"Grandma, Ah Li is back in the house. I have to find a way to call Ah Li out again so that I can apologize to her in person."
Liu Yumei had a smile on her face:
"No, do young people start to use this method when they meet at night?"
……
Li Zhuyuan waved the bell and carried the incense burner, walked to the dam, and then stopped.
Immediately, Li Zhuyuan closed his eyes.
Although his body was wet, cold and uncomfortable, he was still forcing himself to fall asleep.
In fact, you don't need real sleep, as long as you reach a half-asleep and half-awake trance state, you can successfully go to yin.
When he slowly opened his eyes, he first looked behind him, the figure of the long-haired cheongsam was still there, and he looked further away, but he couldn't see Runsheng's figure.
Well, this is a successful dream.
"Wait a moment, I'll take you back later."
After saying that, Li Chaoyuan put down the bell and incense burner in his hand, and then walked forward by himself.
He broke free from the shackles of those hands, and the cheongsam figure still maintained the posture of raising his hands, motionless.
Li Chaiyuan walked to the east room and stopped.
Soon,
The figure of the girl appeared.
This time, she finally stopped completely ignoring herself like during the day, but focused on herself.
Late at night,
pitch black,
On the dam, there was a boy, a girl, and one dead.
The boy looked at the girl and said very sincerely:
"Ah Li, can you forgive me?"
