Chapter 154

"Are you sure you want to turn this?"

Master Ge had a somewhat ugly expression while holding the blueprint.

There were two blueprints.

The first one was still within a reasonable size range.

The second one was not only exaggerated in size, with veins exposed, but also curved at the end.

"Right." Tan Wenbin handed Master Ge a cigarette, "Thank you for your hard work."

The first one was for the little Eunuch Wang, and the second one was for the great eunuch.

The two would be buried together, so they couldn't have the same style; there had to be a distinction, in case one day the two of them had a whim and took them out underground to compare?

Master Ge asked: "This thing, I heard it's usually made of rubber, isn't it?"

Tan Wenbin took an envelope out of his pocket, stuffed it into Master Ge's work uniform pocket, and patted it.

"If I used rubber, would I still need to come and find you?"

Master Ge sighed: "If I go to turn this and get seen, where would I put this old face of mine?"

Tan Wenbin took out a second envelope and stuffed it into his pocket.

Master Ge nodded: "I'll do my best; two blueprints, two copies of each, right?"

"Right, that's correct, I need two of each style."

Of course, it was impossible to bury two for one person, but considering the attraction of this thing to ghost eunuchs, it was hard to say if they would encounter similar situations in the future, so it was better to be prepared.

It was just that the remaining set had to be well hidden and couldn't be seen by outsiders, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

"Come and get them in the afternoon."

"Done, thank you for your trouble."

Tan Wenbin walked out of the factory area, got into the small pickup truck, drove all the way north, and then turned inward at a familiar opening.

Familiar village road, familiar houses, familiar utility poles, and familiar backing the car into the field.

Tan Wenbin got out of the car carrying large and small bags of things.

"Eh, Zhuangzhuang?"

Li Sanjiang was sitting on the rattan chair on the second-floor terrace listening to the radio and sunbathing; after seeing someone walking toward here, he stood up first, and then his gaze kept looking behind him.

"Old Man Li, don't look anymore, Brother Xiaoyuan didn't come back."

Whether Brother Xiaoyuan is awake or not now, he didn't know.

"Oh, hehe." Li Sanjiang smiled somewhat disappointedly.

Tan Wenbin pointed behind him and said: "Then should I leave?"

"You brat, even if Brother Xiaoyuan didn't come back, you came, can I, the old man, not be happy?"

"Hehe."

Tan Wenbin walked into the house and placed all the things he was carrying on the round table.

Then, turning his head, he saw on the other side, a woman was applying makeup to a paper figure.

The woman noticed Tan Wenbin's gaze, turned her side to look over, and gave him a faint smile.

Tan Wenbin also smiled at her.

He knew who she was, but now he was no longer afraid.

Li Sanjiang went downstairs and took a cigarette case out of his pocket.

Tan Wenbin took his out first, took the initiative to hand one to Old Man Li's mouth, and helped him light it.

"What's wrong, Zhuangzhuang, suddenly coming back, is there something?"

"Mm, there is a matter that I have to trouble you with."

Tan Wenbin opened two of the packages, revealing two antique-style ash boxes.

Li Sanjiang squinted his eyes, took a puff of the cigarette, and asked: "Who are these two guests?"

How could people who salvage corpses and sit in mourning be scared by ash boxes, and they wouldn't feel there was anything unlucky about it.

"A while ago, I went to the mountains with my mentor to participate in an engineering project; I got lost in the mountains, and tired and thirsty, I fell asleep in a crack in the rocks and had a dream; in the dream, two people appeared and pointed the way for me.

I relied on their guidance to walk out and find the team.

Later, I took people back, dug down at the place where I slept, and dug out these two sets of remains."

Li Sanjiang exhaled a smoke ring: "Then we really must bury them properly; one good turn deserves another."

"Right, that's what I thought; so, I brought them over; Old Man Li, can you help me arrange it?"

Tan Wenbin originally wanted to buy a cemetery to bury them, but firstly, the cemetery specifications weren't enough, and secondly, the two had always been buried in a mass grave in the past; he dug them out and sent them to a group-renting house, which wasn't appropriate.

If he wanted to play some tricks and get an exquisite Yin house, he could only do it in the countryside; he could also do it in the countryside of Jin Ling, as long as he was willing to pay, but this also involved future care.

People would collect a sum of money from you, but would they really treat you like their own family and worship you?

In this day and age, demolition and development are very frequent; don't let the place be developed in a few years, and the two eunuchs be dug out again as "ownerless graves" and have their corpses exposed; that would really be worse than continuing to bury them underground.

After thinking about it, Tan Wenbin still felt that it was more appropriate to bring the two eunuchs back to his hometown for burial.

His Tan family had ancestral graves, but his grandfather's and maternal grandfather's generation would no longer be buried there; as public officials, they had to respond to the national call, simplify funerals, and it was even more impossible for them to help him build an exquisite Yin house.

So, in the end, he could only come to trouble Old Man Li.

Li Sanjiang asked: "Do you want to start renovations?"

"Yes, and the specifications must be separated; this specification must be high, it's the elder generation, this specification is low, it's the son generation."

"Understood, leave it to your old man; after all, they are people who saved our Zhuangzhuang, so we can't treat them badly; I guarantee I'll build them beautifully."

Tan Wenbin was very moved; everyone knew that Old Man Li loved Brother Xiaoyuan the most, but he was also really good to him, agreeing directly without even mentioning money or anything.

"Thank you, Old Man."

"What are you thanking me for? I hope you meet more noble people when you go out in the future."

"Indeed."

"Besides, bury people properly, won't there be two more people to bless you in heaven in the future? There are people in heaven, so everything is easy to talk about."

"Everything you say, Old Man, is the truth."

What it feels like to have people in heaven, he didn't know, but he had indeed experienced the preferential treatment of having people underground.

"I had already chosen an auspicious grave for myself and your Shan Shan Daye, so I won't make any trouble; I'll bury them in that position too.

Two more people means two more parts of liveliness; I was just worried that it would be boring to always chat with your Shan Shan Daye after a hundred years; you know, that old cannon always can't let out a fart for half a day."

"Old Man, don't worry, these two will definitely be able to talk, it will definitely be lively."

"Then do you have anything else? Since you've come back once, you must go to your North and South Grandparents' house to see and sit, oh, and you must go to Zhou Xiaoyun's house to see."

"Old Man, her name is Zhou Yunyun."

"Dizzy and confused doesn't sound good, it's still smoother to call her Little Cloud."

"Then I'll discuss it with her and let her change her name."

"Pah, your old man was just saying it smoothly, you brat, are you using your old man to dig a well?"

"No, Old Man, you have great blessings, the names you choose can be blessed."

"Heh, laughing people to death, where did this ghost talk come from? I have great blessings, why don't I know?"

Beside them, the woman who had been silently applying makeup to the paper figure also laughed.

Li Sanjiang said: "Yinghou, you're right, hahaha."

The woman nodded, laughing until her body began to tremble.

"Old Man, there's one more thing; when I dug them out, they were carrying some gold and silver cakes, I exchanged them for money."

Tan Wenbin opened another bag and laid out stacks of large bills.

Seeing so much money, Li Sanjiang's hand holding the cigarette began to tremble.

"Whoa, tsk tsk tsk... so much?"

"Right."

Eunuchs love wealth, and when they were buried, it was in a rush, and they only had time to bring gold, silver, and jewelry.

Tan Wenbin asked Yin Meng for the place where she sold books last time, and also went to that shop to exchange these gold, silver, and jewelry.

The shop owner was quite reliable, verifying the goods, quoting the price, and taking the money, very straightforward.

It looked like he should have been scared by Yin Meng before.

Tan Wenbin pushed forward with both hands, pushing all this money toward Li Sanjiang.

"What's the meaning of this, all for me?"

"Right."

"How can I be embarrassed to take other people's money? Since they helped save you, it's only right and proper for us to build them an Yin house."

"However, this money can't be returned."

"Then you donate it."

"That's what I thought too, but after all, I still have to go to school, so this money still has to be spent by you to help me, repair bridges and roads in the village, give some to the orphans and difficulties in the family, and give some to children who have difficulties in school."

Finding an account and donating it is indeed simple.

But where they are buried, this money must be spent there; the two eunuchs have no descendants and are outsiders, so this money can just be used to buy a favor locally.

"This method is good, I'll go find the village chief to talk about it."

"You have to make up a reason, for example, Ding Dalin sent money back from overseas again, asking you to help benefit the fellow villagers."

Although Ding Dalin is dead, his "overseas Chinese" status is still very easy to use.

Li Sanjiang rubbed his forehead and said: "So, Zhuangzhuang, you sold this thing, is it illegal?"

"I didn't keep it for myself."

Tan Wenbin didn't intend to keep the 10% that was originally agreed upon for himself either.

"Zhuangzhuang, things that break the law, we..."

"Don't worry, I won't do it again."

"... we must do it cleanly, don't leave any horse feet."

Tan Wenbin: "..."

"Pah!" Li Sanjiang patted his forehead, "Almost forgot what your family does; you are a professional."

Tan Wenbin was between laughter and tears; if his father heard this, he would probably be so angry that he would directly take off his belt and start whipping.

"Zhuangzhuang, are you staying for a meal?"

"No, I have to go to Zhou Xiaoyun's house."

"Ah?" Li Sanjiang pointed to the gifts on the table, "So it wasn't all brought for me."

"You have half, the other half I have to take with me; she didn't come back last holiday, this time I happened to carry her back together; she is at home now, it's agreed, I'm going to her house for lunch."

"Then wait, Yinghou brought me a few jars of homemade wine last time, the taste is really good, you take a jar... no, take two, you take two jars."

"Yinghou, you go and take them."

"Eh, alright."

The woman put down the paintbrush in her hand, entered the inner room, and soon brought out two jars of wine.

Small jars, the sealing was done very exquisitely.

Li Sanjiang introduced: "This wine is good to drink, doesn't go to the head, and it's very comfortable to sleep at night."

Tan Wenbin reached out to take the wine jars, and then asked the woman in a low voice: "Can we drink this?"

This is wine brought by the dead.

Old Man Li has great blessings and a great life; even if his mouth was bland, taking rat poison and mixing it with water to whet his appetite might not do anything.

But ordinary people... are afraid they would have been lying on the board long ago.

The woman nodded to Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin was relieved and said: "Thank you."

Immediately, he said to Li Sanjiang: "Thank you, Old Man."

"You brat, what are you thanking me for? By the way, since you're back, you can just take this money to Brother Xiaoyuan, saving me from running to the post office again."

Li Sanjiang ignored the full money on the table, took it out of his pocket, dipped his fingertips in the saliva on his lips, counted out the large bills, and put the small bills back into his pocket.

"There, this half is for Brother Xiaoyuan, this half is for you."

"Eh, Brother Xiaoyuan and I split it in half, is this not good?"

"Mainly because you are standing in front of me, I am embarrassed to give Brother Xiaoyuan too much."

"That's fine, I'll split it myself, the big share for Brother Xiaoyuan."

"I treat everyone equally, treat everyone equally."

"Understood, understood."

Tan Wenbin accepted the money.

Li Sanjiang touched his other pocket, which was actually empty, and asked: "You are going to visit, you must also take some money."

"It's not like I'm proposing marriage or paying a dowry, just taking some gifts is enough."

Li Sanjiang continued to dig into his empty pocket and said: "How can that be, without money in your pocket, how can you support the scene? The first time you visit, you must set up the frame."

Li Sanjiang wanted to take out money, but mainly because the recent accounts hadn't been settled, and this batch of paper figures hadn't been shipped; the money he just gave was all he had in his hand.

"Heh, don't I still have my North and South Grandparents? Their pensions are high and they can't spend it all, I'll go there to beg for autumn wind.

When the day of the wedding really comes, I'll ask you for a big red envelope again."

"Then... alright."

Li Sanjiang took out the hand that had been rubbing in his pocket until it was almost hot.

"Old Man, I'll trouble you with these things."

"Doing good deeds is accumulating virtue for yourself, what trouble is there."

"Oh, by the way, Old Man Li, these two are quite old, the Yin house..."

"Do you still need to tell me this little thing? I know, I'll build them a small courtyard."

"Sure enough, you are a professional."

In this day and age, it's popular for living people in the countryside to save money to build a two or three-story building, and dead people are no longer simple grave mounds, but also exquisite and small two or three-story houses, with doors, windows, and glass.

Remember once when walking on the road, Runsheng asked how Ultraman was filmed so big?

Brother Xiaoyuan pointed to the dense, modern, exquisite mini-houses on the side of the road: If you stand inside, you are Ultraman.

After leaving Old Man Li's house, Tan Wenbin drove to Shigang.

Zhou Yunyun's house was not in Shigang Town, but in the village below; after driving into the village, just as he was preparing to find a family to ask for directions, he heard someone shouting from far away:

"Here, here!"

Knowing that their daughter was bringing her boyfriend home for a meal, Zhou Yunyun's parents took a leave of absence from the textile factory today, and together with her grandparents, plus a group of close relatives, they had been waiting on the dam early.

The houses in the village were sparse, the view was good, and seeing a small pickup truck drive in, they immediately recognized it as the prospective son-in-law visiting.

Actually, Tan Wenbin came a bit late; how could the first visit happen exactly at mealtime, but there was no way, he had to go and handle the funeral matters first.

It was mainly to take advantage of the weekend to drive home once, and he couldn't delay; in case Brother Xiaoyuan woke up, he also had to accompany him.

Tan Wenbin drove the car over, originally wanting to park under the dam, but Zhou Yunyun's father was very enthusiastic and acted as a commander in front.

There was no way, he could only drive onto the dam and park the car.

Zhou Yunyun was wearing a white sweater and jeans, standing in the crowd; while her figure was prominent, she was also very clear and beautiful.

After Tan Wenbin got out of the car, he smiled at her, and then immediately began to prepare to distribute cigarettes to the men present, while reaching out to take the initiative to pat Zhou Yunyun's father, who was facing this situation for the first time without experience:

"Uncle, hurry up and teach me how to call people."

Zhou Yunyun's father was stunned and immediately began to introduce.

Every time Tan Wenbin called someone, he would ask which unit or factory they were in, or even if they were just temporary workers as masons, he could chat with you about whether the construction site was prosperous recently.

It was all nutritious-less saliva talk, but some people could make people feel very valued and not neglect anyone.

Zhou Yunyun's father was setting it off from the side, as if he were the prospective son-in-law visiting for the first time today.

Everyone took their seats and started eating.

Zhou Yunyun was arranged to sit next to Tan Wenbin; Tan Wenbin chatted with others at the large round table while paying attention to picking food for Zhou Yunyun.

Because of shyness, Zhou Yunyun didn't speak much most of the time, just sat there and ate in small bites.

This scene looked like she was the one visiting the man's house.

"Drink, drink well, come."

Tan Wenbin not only didn't refuse anyone who came, but also took the initiative to attack.

After a meal, he drank everyone at the table, Zhou Yunyun's father, grandfather, uncle, uncle, except for the cousin who was still in elementary school, in short, all the adult men, all were drunk.

He himself was light and airy, and finally asked Zhou's mother to add two more bowls of rice for him, once with meat soup and once with chicken soup, and ate it solidly.

Actually, Tan Wenbin's drinking capacity wasn't that good before, but now he had two children on his shoulders, equivalent to carrying two brains, even if he drank until alcohol poisoning, he could still remain clear-headed.

After eating, the women helped their own men into the house to sleep.

Tan Wenbin walked to the dam alone, blowing in the wind.

A small black dog passed by on the dam, glanced at Tan Wenbin, and Tan Wenbin also glanced at him, and they looked at each other and passed by.

That little cousin in elementary school was going home to do homework, shyly waved at Tan Wenbin, and Tan Wenbin also smiled at him.

Obviously, Tan Wenbin didn't need the small black dog and the little cousin to divert his attention and relieve embarrassment.

Zhou Yunyun walked out while unwrapping a cigarette, pulled one out, and handed it to Tan Wenbin's mouth.

"You smoke less."

"Mm mm mm."

Tan Wenbin agreed while shaking the cigarette in his mouth toward Zhou Yunyun; he saw the monitor still holding a matchbox in her hand.

Zhou Yunyun struck a match, lit it for him, and gave him a coquettish look.

"Your mom's craftsmanship is not bad, the food she made is really delicious."

"Your mom's cooking is also very delicious."

Tan Wenbin exhaled a smoke ring: "How can you say such things against your will."

His mom's craftsmanship could only be called edible.

He was used to being fed before and didn't feel it, but later when he lived at Old Man Li's house in his third year of high school, the food Liu Yi made made him realize that this was what people ate.

It's just a pity that Liu Yi's apprentice Mengmeng couldn't inherit Liu Yi's culinary skills; of course, it could also be said that she inherited it, and the blue was better than the blue and poisoned the blue.

"Do you have anything else in the afternoon?" Zhou Yunyun asked.

"I have to go out in the afternoon, but it's still early, the factory hasn't finished it yet."

"Then your dinner..."

"Your house didn't prepare dinner?"

"My mom asked me to ask, fearing you have something to do in the afternoon and have to leave."

Tan Wenbin immediately turned his head away and shouted toward the kitchen: "Auntie, I'll still eat at home tonight, that braised fish and steamed pork, I want to eat it again!"

"Alright, alright!"

Zhou Yunyun was between laughter and tears.

"Let's go, accompany me for a walk, digest, I'm too full."

"Who told you to eat so much."

"I'm not you, I'm embarrassed to eat when I go home."

Zhou Yunyun punched Tan Wenbin on the shoulder a few times.

Afterward, the two walked side by side in the village.

They had to stroll around to brush up their presence, so that the aunts and aunts in the village wouldn't start worrying about arranging blind dates.

During the walk, Zhou Yunyun took a red envelope out of her pocket and handed it to Tan Wenbin: "My parents gave it to you."

This amused Tan Wenbin, who smiled: "No, can I also have a red envelope?"

"I don't know, my parents gave it."

Tan Wenbin didn't take it: "Then you keep it."

"Your mom gave it to me, if you don't take it, how can I explain it to my parents?"

"You just need to show it, just explain it like that." Zhou Yunyun reached out and hugged Tan Wenbin's arm: "Do you know, I still have a sense of unreality until now; are we really dating?"

"You are dreaming, hurry up and wake up, it's time for class, Monitor."

Zhou Yunyun raised her head, kissed Tan Wenbin on the face, and then hugged him and continued to walk forward.

After digesting, in the afternoon, because of drinking, although they didn't check for drunk driving at the moment, Tan Wenbin still didn't drive, but borrowed Zhou Yunyun's father's bicycle and rode to the factory.

Unseal, verify goods.

Vivid, dragon and tiger alive!

"Master Ge, you are really amazing, why don't you change your profession, open a factory yourself, just do this, I guarantee you can make big money!"

"What kind of egg are you pulling, even if this thing is made, who would buy it besides you?"

"Master Ge, in the future, when everyone's life gets better, the demand for this kind of thing will definitely increase; I heard that someone in Lianyungang is already doing this."

"Heh, I don't believe it."

"Then there's no way, leaving, Master, see you later."

Tan Wenbin rode the bicycle to Old Man Li's house again.

No errors in the content, take a look!

Old Man Li went to find the village chief to talk about things, and only Xiao Yingying was at home.

Tan Wenbin found the two ash boxes, opened them, put the normal size into the little Eunuch Wang's, and put the extra large size into the Godfather's.

Turning around, he saw the woman looking at him, or to be precise, looking at the remaining set of things in his hand.

Tan Wenbin didn't explain, but asked: "Where are Brother Xiaoyuan's grandparents? They aren't here anymore?"

"The in-laws' family had someone pass away, they went to help these few days."

"Oh, so that's it, that, maybe in a while, a couple with children will come, they are good hands at work."

"Mm?"

"But their identities are a bit special, you can... forget it, I'll come back in a while, I'll arrange it personally."

The woman returned to her workstation and continued to make paper figures.

Tan Wenbin shrugged, rode the bicycle again, and returned to Zhou Yunyun's house.

At this moment, the group of men who were originally drunk had just woken up, all dizzy.

Seeing Tan Wenbin's spirit still there, everyone was a bit scared.

For dinner, they just tasted it, and everyone tacitly raised fish in their wine glasses.

However, even if they didn't compete in drinking, with Tan Wenbin there, it was impossible to have a cold scene.

Of course, even if Tan Wenbin didn't have this personality, he wouldn't be neglected, because his family conditions were better.

It stands to reason that blood relationships among relatives should make it easier to avoid that kind of snobbery, but within the scope of normal people's social circles, the snobbish side can often only be reflected among relatives.

Therefore, someone like Tan Wenbin, whose family conditions are good and who can take the initiative to get along with everyone, will only be doubly welcomed.

After dinner, Tan Wenbin didn't stay overnight here, but drove to his hometown; he didn't drink alcohol at night.

His parents were both in Jin Ling, he recalled the place where he once lived alone, washed up, and went back to his room to sleep.

Early the next morning, he drove to Zhou Yunyun's house, ate breakfast at their house, and then carried Zhou Yunyun to his North and South Grandparents' house to recognize the door, and received two thick red envelopes.

"Too much..."

"Keep it, if the dowry is not enough, borrow some from me."

"Where is there any dowry."

Both sides are only children, and after marriage, they have to manage both sides; there is indeed no such thing as a dowry; the local use of the North and South Grandparents' address has part of the reason that no one wants to be that grandfather or grandmother.

"You sleep for a while, when we arrive in Jin Ling, I'll call..."

"Beep beep... beep beep... beep beep..."

The pager rang; Tan Wenbin pulled over to park, how fresh, it was actually his dad paging him.

In his impression, his own dad rarely paged him, but would appear out of the blue at the most inappropriate time.

Drove forward for a while, found a public phone in the town, and dialed back.

"Hello, I am Tan Yunlong."

"Hello, Officer Tan, I am Tan Wenbin."

"How is it, is it smooth?"

"Smooth." Tan Wenbin leaned against the counter, Zhou Yunyun was in the car and didn't come over, "Thanks to your hard work, your son is very popular at his prospective father-in-law's house."

"There is one thing, I have to tell you."

"Dad, we are as close as father and son, no need to be so polite."

"Do you know a girl named Chen Xiaojuan?"

"Dad, I'm wronged, I haven't messed around outside, I don't know any flower, beauty, or Juan."

"She is only four years old."

"I don't know her."

"She said she knows me."

"Dad, it turns out you made a mistake?"

Heavy breathing came from the other end of the phone, as if regretting that the phone line wasn't a belt.

"She said I look very much like a brother; she is from Zhangjiajie; didn't you go there a while ago and bring your mom some specialties?"

"Ah?"

"Did you buy a lot of cherries from her?"

"Then I remember, yes. But I don't know her name."

"She has a deep impression of you, and she even remembered it to me."

Chen Xiaojuan and her brother sold cherries at the train station; the competition was great, and it often took a long time to sell; suddenly one day, a big brother threw a lot of large bills and bought all the cherries of the brother and sister in one breath, allowing them to go home early to play.

In Chen Xiaojuan's eyes, Tan Wenbin at that time was simply glowing.

Although her brother said they were doing business, not begging, and threw the extra money and change back to the person, it didn't affect Tan Wenbin's image in the little girl's heart at all.

"She was abducted."

"Ah?" Tan Wenbin immediately showed a serious look.

Next, in Tan Yunlong's narration, the whole thing was presented.

Chen Xiaojuan and Chen Xiaolei's family conditions were average; their father died early due to illness, and they relied on their mother to work to support the family; the brother and sister relied on going to the train station to sell cherries to subsidize the family.

There was a room in her house that was rented to a woman; the woman didn't go to work, didn't go out on weekdays, but her food and drink were quite good, and she often gave the brother and sister some food.

At the beginning, it was also because she was a female tenant that the children's mother was willing to rent a room in the house to her, although it was a countryside house and couldn't rent for much money.

As a result, that day, when brother Chen Xiaolei came back after picking cherries, he didn't see his sister Chen Xiaojuan who should have been at home, and the woman who rented the room was also gone, and her luggage had been taken away.

He knew something bad had happened, went to find his mother immediately, and then went to report to the police immediately.

The female tenant left without saying goodbye and abducted the child in the family.

For this kind of case, the police also found it difficult to find, because there was no direction at all.

Tan Yunlong, in order to prepare for the Spring Festival travel rush in advance, several systems conducted joint drills; Tan Yunlong led a team on the train to conduct inspections and investigations.

Passing a seat, the little girl who was happily drinking soda in her "mother's" arms suddenly raised her head, looked at him, and said:

"Eh, brother, why did you get old?"

It was a very simple sentence, which made Tan Yunlong look at the girl twice more, and incidentally look at the mother holding the girl.

The girl's mother lowered her head, originally burying her face in the girl's shoulder; this was a very normal action.

But the girl spoke to herself, and the mother wasn't asleep, so not raising her head to look at herself was a bit strange.

An old criminal policeman's sixth sense is sometimes just that sensitive.

"Little sister, where have you seen me before?"

During the conversation, the girl's mother finally raised her head, smiled, and signaled the girl not to disturb the uncle's work.

Tan Yunlong immediately recognized that this was the wanted criminal Tian Meihong!

That wanted criminal who had organized a robbery gang targeting taxi drivers in Jin Ling and was still on the run; she even had a human life on her back!

Actually, the photo on the wanted notice was relatively blurry, and it was also an old photo of the fugitive; Tian Meihong also disguised herself, and her appearance was not quite the same as before.

Under normal circumstances, she only needed to hold a fake ID card, and the effect of that wanted notice on her was very weak; after all, so many years had passed.

But the problem was that his son had just shaken that wanted notice in front of him a while ago, and he was very familiar with the facial detail features of this face.

And Tan Yunlong had always had a premonition that when his son started messing with that wanted notice for no reason, he might be able to catch her not long after.

In short, under many coincidences, Tian Meihong was caught like this.

She had been on the run for these years, thinking the limelight had passed; the most important thing was that the money was spent, so she wanted to "re-emerge in the Jianghu," and chose the old place where she had once created her "brilliance," Jin Ling.

As for kidnapping Chen Xiaojuan, it was just done along the way, intending to sell the child for some money after abducting her to use as start-up capital for forming a new gang.

Tan Wenbin: "This is a good thing, Dad."

Hearing that the girl was rescued, Tan Wenbin also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Tan Yunlong: "I just think it's a bit coincidental."

Tan Wenbin: "That's your eagle eye like a torch."

Tan Yunlong: "Heh."

Tan Wenbin: "Ha."

"Her brother came out to find her, mixed onto the train to Jin Ling, and is already at the station police station; their mother fainted at home in a hurry, fortunately she is awake now, and her mother has also been notified."

"Really good, it's all solved."

"Are the cherries from Zhangjiajie delicious?"

"Quite delicious."

"And I didn't see you bring any back home."

"I bought a lot and wanted to bring them back, but they were all eaten by A-You."

"When are you coming back?"

"Already on the way, I specially stopped to call you back."

"Drive carefully."

"yessir!"

Li Zhuiyuan woke up completely; this time it wasn't in the form of walking in the Yin, and his vision returned to normal, it was just that his brain was still a bit dizzy.

The first person he saw when he opened his eyes was A-Li.

A-Li stood up, walked out of the room, and in a while, she came back with a bowl of very thick medicinal soup.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't let the girl feed him, picked up the spoon himself, and began to drink the medicine obediently.

This bowl looked very much like hot and sour soup.

It's just that the rarity of the ingredients inside was much higher than hot and sour soup.

After eating a few mouthfuls, he felt warm all over; this was a tonic.

After drinking a bowl of medicine, his stomach was full, and he wasn't hungry at all.

Li Zhuiyuan went to the second floor first to find Grandma Liu.

"Awake?"

"Mm, awake."

Liu Yumei didn't blame the boy for not cherishing his body anymore, because she knew very clearly that if walking the river only paid the price of overdraft, it really didn't count as anything, and could even count as a fortunate event.

"Next time, let that Mengmeng carry some medicinal herbs on her body and let her decoct it for you to drink directly."

"Alright."

Medicinal herbs can be carried, but decocting medicine doesn't need her, right?

With Yin Meng's chaotic understanding of poisons now, Li Zhuiyuan was very worried that if he drank the medicine she decocted after falling unconscious, he would never wake up again.

"Rest well."

"Yes, Grandma."

Go downstairs to greet Liu Yi in the kitchen.

Liu Yi was washing the pot for decocting medicine, and Qin Shu was sitting there sharpening a kitchen knife.

"Hungry or not?" Liu Yi asked with a mischievous smile.

"Not hungry anymore."

Qin Shu put down the knife, reached out to pinch Li Zhuiyuan's arms and legs, and said somewhat regretfully: "Not yet time, but..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Then wait until the time comes."

Practicing martial arts in advance will lead to unhealthy physical development, especially the way of practicing martial arts in the Qin family, which focuses on squeezing physical potential.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't want the way of drinking poison to quench thirst; since the river water pulled him down early, carrying the meaning of killing him in advance, he wanted to grow up in the most perfect way.

Leaving the kitchen, he walked to A-Li's study.

There were a few more musical instruments inside, a zither, and a guqin.

The musical instruments had been transported long ago, but A-Li was afraid of disturbing the boy's rest and had never played them.

It was just that at this moment, the zither and zither were covered with a red and a white cloth.

"A-Li, I have to go back first, there are still some things to do to wrap up, I'll come to chat with you tomorrow, you can teach me to play this."

The girl nodded.

Li Zhuiyuan reached out to rub his temples, turned around intending to leave, but suddenly thought of something, turned back again, and said:

"Almost forgot, have to say hello to them first."

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the girl and took the girl's hand.

The girl didn't close her eyes; she felt that the boy had just woken up and wasn't suitable for walking in the Yin, and should pay attention to rest.

Li Zhuiyuan reached out and gently stroked the girl's eyes, letting them close.

The next moment, Li Zhuiyuan appeared in that bungalow.

It was still facing that row of cracked ancestral memorial tablets.

It's just that when looking at these memorial tablets now, he had a completely different realization than before.

Grandma Liu told him to treat himself as a child of the family.

Similar words, Grandma Liu had also said before, but after all, he was surnamed Li, not Qin or Liu.

Although he had performed the initiation ceremony, this door, in reality, hadn't really walked into his heart, and had always been separated by a layer.

When looking at these memorial tablets before, the link in the middle was more A-Li.

The experience of the General's tomb broke this barrier for him.

He was still called Li Zhuiyuan, and had no blood relationship with the Qin and Liu families, but inheritance, sometimes, was better than blood.

The same Dao, the same road, the same river.

They were very much like the portraits hanging in the school's Hall of Fame before; now, Li Zhuiyuan felt that they were his elders.

Turn around, face the threshold.

The boy was still very fatigued now; when crossing the threshold, he still needed to support himself with his hands on the door frame.

Then, he sat down on the threshold.

Far ahead, there was a thick fog that couldn't be thicker.

The boy leaned his head against the door frame and swept toward them listlessly; after looking for a few times, he closed his eyes; he was still tired, he could persist in reality, but he would feel sleepy when walking in the Yin.

The boy with his eyes closed faced the thick fog.

In the thick fog, it was silent, as if not daring to disturb at this time.

The Corpse-Driving Daoist's active appearance, in itself, was not a prominent feature.

Mainly, everyone felt that that time, it was the boy's active grasping.

The form, actually, had already changed.

It was no longer them bullying their way to the door, but the boy actively going to the door to collect debts.

Although Li Zhuiyuan's purpose for doing this last time was to conduct an experiment.

But the feeling this behavior gave people was a kind of domineering belonging to a Dragon King.

Similar temperament would occasionally appear on Liu Yumei, and now, the boy also had it.

Dizzily opening his eyes again, Li Zhuiyuan stood up.

The thick fog in front, along with the boy's movements, began to retreat.

The boy glanced at them for the last time, turned around, and walked back inside the threshold.

Those outside,

Were the mud splashed by the predecessors when they walked on the road in the past, and also the direction guidance on Li Zhuiyuan's future path.

But in the end, they were some things that couldn't be brought to the table.

When he opened them again, he returned to the study in reality.

A-Li was looking at him with her eyes open.

He felt that the girl's eyes had more liveliness, especially those eyelashes, which seemed to be much happier than before.

She was willing to take back the musical instruments, also for this reason, because music requires a mood; just playing her own fear, terror, and misery all the time was meaningless, and could only make the family listen and be sad together.

Li Zhuiyuan: "I have learned piano."

When he was young, Li Lan also took him to learn many things.

At that time, he was silly, thinking that as long as he learned fast, Mom would be happy.

Thinking back now, this should be a test from Li Lan.

She wanted to give birth to a normal child, and after giving birth, she used various ways to prove his abnormality.

After leaving Grandma Liu's house, Li Zhuiyuan came to the affordable shop first.

As a result, he didn't find anyone.

Lu Yi said that Yin Meng wanted to buy a few sets of daily clothes for Runsheng, so she dragged him to go shopping.

He was at Grandma Liu's house, lying in A-Li's room; they really had nothing to worry about, and it wasn't very convenient to come and visit; the companions could live normally at this moment.

Besides this, Lu Yi also told Li Zhuiyuan that Tan Wenbin had just called, saying that Tian Meihong had been caught by his dad.

Lu Yi didn't know who Tian Meihong was; anyway, he just repeated it normally.

Tan Wenbin was still on the way back to Jin Ling at this moment; even if he returned to Jin Ling, he had to send Zhou Yunyun to the audit first; he was afraid of delaying too long on the road, and Brother Xiaoyuan might have woken up, so he reported this information first.

Lu Yi sat behind the counter, now like the team's information transfer station, a human voice mailbox.

Li Zhuiyuan returned to the dormitory and saw an envelope on his desk.

After opening it, inside was a stack of photos.

The photos were on a mountain with beautiful scenery, and in front was a small town.

This was not Meiling Town; the sky in Meiling Town wasn't this clear.

In the next photo, Grandma Zhu's photo was placed, along with her hometown painting.

He was also in the photo, being carried by Runsheng; from the shooting angle, it looked like they were looking at the distant scenery together.

Although he had already fallen into a coma at that time, before the partners left Zhangjiajie, they still carried him to Grandma Zhu's hometown.

He just needed to hand this envelope to Professor Zhu, and Grandma Zhu's last wish would be completed.

Those three scums of Brother Hu, should still be in that water burial, not knowing if they were dead or alive; the probability was that they were dead; even if they were alive, they couldn't come out.

They indeed found the "Xie Family Old House" and went there.

In that ancient tomb, there was gold for them to dig; Tan Wenbin had told him that his Godfather was buried with gold and silver.

Tian Meihong was also caught.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at the letter in his hand.

The three causal lines he made all walked through in the end; they dug the ditches in advance, and the river water also gave face and flowed in.

This experiment was successful.

Li Zhuiyuan sat listlessly at the desk, his fingertips tapping on the table; although his face still carried haggardness, in the boy's eyes, luster was flowing:

"Come on, let's continue."
