Chapter 167

~35 min read 6,857 words

Li Li Zhuiyuan truly does not know.

Although he has a beginning he could tell, this beginning involves the game of chess between himself and the Jiang Shui, which is a taboo topic.

And as the degree of the game between himself and the Jiang Shui deepens, the taboo nature of this topic also deepens accordingly.

Even when Tan Tan Wenbin recounted the experiences of each wave to Grandma Liu, he would deliberately skip this part, only retelling the story according to the normal process of walking the river.

And if this part is excluded, Li Li Zhuiyuan really has nothing left to tell.

If forced to speak, he would have to frame his active digging of the canal to divert the Jiang Shui as being attracted by the clues of the Jiang Shui, starting from that lion dance, coming into contact with the Boqi form and spirit (Dream Ghost), then involving the existence of the hand behind the scenes, and finally taking the entire team to the amusement park.

Then, everything came to an abrupt end.

He had a dream, took a nap, and when he woke up, the evil spirits and the mastermind behind the scenes had all lined up in front of him and committed suicide.

From the perspective of a teenager, he can only tell such a fragmented and inexplicable story.

This story is not what Liu Liu Yumei wants to hear; it is not worthy of the high-standard tea party Liu Liu Yumei specially prepared for this purpose.

Liu Liu Yumei was stunned for a moment, then half-raised her hand, frowning slightly.

She is not angry.

The old lady is not the type of person who does not know the severity of things.

She asked with concern:

"Xiao Yuan, has something happened to you?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded: "Grandma, I don't remember most of the experiences of this trip."

Liu Liu Yumei stood up, walked to the teenager's side, stretched out her palm, and gently placed it on the teenager's forehead.

"Xiao Yuan, have you checked yourself to see if your memories have been sealed?"

"I have checked. It shouldn't be sealed, nor is it a closure due to brain trauma. It is highly probable that it was erased, or I forgot it myself."

"Are the mountain bandits in this story very special in their methods?" Liu Liu Yumei withdrew her hand and pointed specifically at her own forehead.

"Yes." Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded, "And the mountain bandits in this story have a very deep background."

"Tell me a little more."

"I was muddled, as if I had taken a nap, and then I saw that the mountain bandits in the bandit stronghold and their backers were all dead."

"Did they just die in the stronghold?"

"I currently only see the scene in the stronghold."

Liu Liu Yumei suddenly realized a possibility, which is that in this matter, she might know more than the teenager in front of her.

"You wait a moment."

Liu Liu Yumei opened the cupboard, took out a stack of letters, and placed them in front of the teenager. On top was a thick envelope containing photos.

Li Li Zhuiyuan first looked at the photos one by one, and the more he looked, the more solemn his gaze became.

In the photos were scenes of tragic exterminations of families.

The teenager's thinking is very agile; since Liu Liu Yumei showed these to him, it means she believes these things are related to his current wave.

Therefore, in all likelihood, this is the family of that mastermind behind the scenes.

The dozen or so gray-robed people who died tragically that he saw in the amusement park were not the entirety of this incident.

In his original plan, it was to introduce the Jiang Shui, recognize the Dream Ghost as the Boqi form and spirit, and thereby trigger a chain reaction.

Being able to cut off this hand would mean the plan was successfully completed.

But looking at it now, he, who prides himself on being a radical, suddenly discovered after seeing these photos that he was actually a conservative.

Because this is no longer just cutting off a hand; this is hacking the person to death entirely.

Each photo was marked with time and address on the back, occurring almost simultaneously across the country.

This is not just destroying a household register; it is clearly a genealogy!

Li Li Zhuiyuan's breathing became a bit rapid.

Although there is no clear clue to guide him, he now vaguely has a feeling that in this incident, the protagonist does not seem to be entirely just himself.

Although the style is very similar to his own, he could not achieve such a grand scale.

In that lost memory, he was still himself, and his behavioral logic had not changed.

Limited by strength and many other aspects, based on his behavioral habits, he would only choose to stop while ahead, ensuring that he could cut off one hand.

Greater results often require greater risks, and he would not take extra risks unless... in that lost memory, he obtained a greater backing.

This backing is powerful enough to allow him to ignore risk assessment and actively pursue the maximization of results.

Is it the Great Emperor of Fengdou?

No.

It wouldn't be him.

He can establish a relationship with him, but the relationship between the two, in the final analysis... is not close.

At the very least, he would never pin the probability of taking risks on the choices and protection of the Great Emperor of Fengdou. Moreover, the Great Emperor currently seems to have a very large opinion of him.

Then who could it be that could provide him with such a huge backing and also allow him to truly trust them?

You must know that he himself is a person who finds it very difficult to trust others.

Seeing that Li Li Zhuiyuan had finished flipping through the photos, Liu Liu Yumei reminded him: "Look at the letter from the Yu family in Luoyang first."

"Okay."

Li Li Zhuiyuan opened that letter and finished reading the content about the source of the situation coming from Fengdou.

Regarding this, he didn't feel surprised; he had a feeling of "as expected."

The teenager said: "Then this family should be the mastermind behind the mountain bandits."

Liu Liu Yumei: "Don't worry, strike while the iron is hot. Several families have already joined forces, and our family has also helped out, scraping clean all the fish that slipped through the net as much as possible."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "I think... there shouldn't be any fish that slipped through the net."

Since the Great Emperor of Fengdou has indeed taken action, if there were still fish that slipped through the net, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the Great Emperor?

Liu Liu Yumei smiled: "There are always some collateral branches or disciples, not blood relatives, but also involved."

Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded: "I understand."

The old lady wants to destroy their inheritance.

The teenager understands this very well. After all, they were the ones who started it, and now it is just returning the favor in kind.

As for the matter of him sending Qin Li and Liu Ting to dig up people's ancestral graves, Liu Liu Yumei didn't go into detail. She is an elder after all, and mentioning this specifically in front of the child makes her seem like a child herself.

However, she also knows that tonight's tea party is destined to not continue.

Liu Liu Yumei picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said:

"According to your situation, if memories are lost, there are only two possibilities.

One is that they were forcibly erased by someone.

Second, that memory involves too much and cannot be brought out, so it can only be forgotten.

In fact, one and two are also common. The person who can forcibly erase your memory should also have the strength to erase you yourself, but he didn't do so, so he should also be doing it for your own good.

Therefore, there is only the second possibility.

That is, the current you cannot bear the pressure of this part of the memory."

Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded. He once again associated it with the "returning home to worship ancestors" of the Great Emperor of Fengdou. Obviously, the Great Emperor knows about these things.

But even with the stature of the Great Emperor, he still had to use a "deceptive" way to make him go to Fengdou, which shows the sensitivity of this matter.

Involving such a high-level existence, even if it was just a dream, it is not strange that he was forced to forget that memory in the dream.

Liu Liu Yumei picked up a piece of walnut pastry and took a gentle bite:

"But given your temperament, you will definitely be obsessed with finding back the lost memory. Grandma does not oppose you doing so. After all, memory is like a part of a person's life; it can be wasted, but it cannot be forcibly dug out.

Grandma just wants to remind you that in the process of trying to find back this memory, avoid being impatient and seeking speed. Be steady and take it slow."

"I understand, thank you for your teachings, Grandma."

"Alright, you just came back and you are tired. When you find back that memory in the future, organize it yourself and see if it is suitable to tell me. Go down and accompany A Li."

"Okay, Grandma."

Li Li Zhuiyuan stood up, ready to leave.

Liu Liu Yumei spoke again: "Xiao Yuan, thank you."

Li Li Zhuiyuan paused and said: "We are family, you are being too formal."

Liu Liu Yumei leaned back and smiled: "Even if it's one's own parents, seeing their child grow up to be the pillar of the family, they will also say thank you and that it wasn't easy. I am not being formal."

"I haven't grown up yet. This family still needs you, Grandma, to continue to support it."

Liu Liu Yumei shook her head: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I really don't like being the head of the family. Even now, I am still reminiscing about the carefree and unbridled days of my youth. Today, I have experienced it again."

Seeing Liu Liu Yumei say this, Li Li Zhuiyuan followed her words to comfort her:

"Grandma, you have a good life, born with the life of a young lady; others can't envy that."

"Heh, glib tongue." Liu Liu Yumei pointed to the tea snacks on the table, "Take some down. Barely use it as a meal, or if you are hungry at night, come up and get it yourself."

"Okay, Grandma."

Li Li Zhuiyuan came downstairs and arrived at A Li's study.

A Li was wearing a pair of silk-green embroidered shoes, and over her white pajamas, she wore a red lotus-leaf cloak.

The girl was drawing and designing clothes.

Li Li Zhuiyuan leaned against the door frame and asked: "A Li, are you hungry?"

Although he had eaten some snacks at Grandma Liu's, after being exhausted, people crave the comfort of soup and water more.

The girl nodded.

"Then let's go cook something to eat."

The girl shook her head.

"What's wrong?" Li Li Zhuiyuan was a bit puzzled and turned to walk towards the kitchen. He doesn't usually cook, but boiling noodles or wontons is no problem.

Walking to the kitchen door, Li Li Zhuiyuan saw the full seals pasted on it.

Placing his hand on the door, without even needing to feel it carefully, an extremely uncomfortable feeling of nausea was transmitted over.

What on earth did Liu Yi leave in the kitchen?

Upon deep thought, Li Li Zhuiyuan understood a little.

Grandma Liu and the others obviously also noticed that he had encountered a mastermind behind the scenes this time, and they were also making preparations for him in case of accidents.

Either it's support or revenge; in any case, they have already decided to go all out.

This feeling of being protected and backed up is indeed quite good.

A Li also followed out, standing beside the teenager, looking at him.

Li Li Zhuiyuan has the ability to tear off these seals, but after tearing them off, he would still have to deal with the things in the kitchen, and then use the pots and pans inside to cook. By the time he finished, it would probably be dawn.

"A Li, let's go out to eat?"

The girl nodded.

Li Li Zhuiyuan led A Li into her room, opened the wardrobe, picked out a set of clothes, and placed them on the bed.

Then, he went up to the third floor to pay respects to the ancestors of the Qin and Liu families.

The original intention was to find something to pass the time while A Li changed clothes, but unexpectedly, the door of the room where the ancestral tablets were placed also had seals on it.

And the strength of these seals far exceeded the kitchen on the first floor.

Li Li Zhuiyuan once again placed his hand on the door. Because of this action of his, several consciousnesses in the room seemed to wake up, responding to him with warnings.

Even as he is now, facing this kind of oppression, he still felt a little breathless.

You must know that the things in the room were already under seal, but they could still penetrate their own seals with their aura and gaze, and then penetrate the room's seal, clearly transmitting it into his consciousness.

This must be a group of extremely terrifying fierce creatures.

Logically speaking, these fierce creatures should not appear here. If even one ran out, it could cause huge trouble. They were obviously temporarily transferred here.

And the place that could move out so many terrifying fierce creatures at once is the ancestral home of the Qin family or the Liu family.

Generations of Dragon Kings walking the rivers and lakes, suppressing evil spirits, must have had many fierce creatures detained back to the ancestral home for eternal suppression.

The old lady really took out the family's foundation this time.

The family has few people, so she uses evil spirits to make up for it.

If she really brought this group of evil spirits to the enemy's house and unsealed them or completed the transaction in advance, it would definitely bring huge shock, or even disaster, to the enemy's house.

And the old lady herself would also be involved in huge karma because of this. In the name of the Long Wang family, doing the evil of releasing evil spirits to cause trouble, this would not only make the Heavenly Dao furious, but even the reputation of the Long Wang family would be destroyed along with it.

Li Li Zhuiyuan now truly understands how heavy the "thank you" the old lady said earlier really is.

It seemed that the fierce creatures inside sensed that the teenager outside who was touching the door seal with his hand was distracted, and they collectively became restless, wanting to take this opportunity to crush the teenager's mind.

Li Li Zhuiyuan noticed it, his gaze condensed, staring in front of him.

As he is now, compared to these fierce creatures inside, he is not qualified enough, but for some reason, when his aura rose, a huge sense of confidence naturally arose in his heart.

As if behind him, there was still a figure standing.

The aura of the two sides actually reached a balance at this moment, and the teenager was not suppressed.

Gradually, the fierce creatures inside calmed down. They were sealed too tightly, and even though they had many methods, they could not be displayed. Since using aura to intimidate was useless, they were too lazy to continue wasting effort.

This can also be considered a kind of recognition from them. Since being transferred here, every person who entered or left this house had been tested by them.

Even A Li was disturbed by them to the point where she couldn't play the zither with peace of mind.

Li Li Zhuiyuan withdrew his hand, turned his head, and looked at his empty back.

Just now, he clearly captured that feeling of his. Who had stood behind him?

The time he lost his memory was only two days. Who could make him feel like he had a backing behind him in just these two short days?

After going downstairs, A Li had already changed her clothes. Li Li Zhuiyuan let her sit in front of the dressing table, picked up a comb, and helped her comb her hair.

No need to coil it into a bun, just comb it simply.

Subsequently, the teenager held the girl's hand and walked out of the house.

It was already late at night. Not only was the school cafeteria closed long ago, but the shops outside the school were also closed. Even if there were occasional ones still open, they were food stalls, and that kind of place was not suitable for taking A Li to.

Fortunately, he still had a small nest in the school.

The campus at this moment was quiet, with few people on the road, but even if there were, with the teenager holding her hand by her side, the girl would not feel afraid.

Walking to the front of the affordable store, the shop door was still open. After entering, he saw Lu Yi cooking a large pot of something, with heat rising.

"Brother Shentong, just in time, I'm cooking for them, do you want to come and eat some too?"

"What are you cooking?"

"Stewed big bones with sauerkraut, just eat your fill, I guarantee you won't make a sound after one bite."

Li Li Zhuiyuan leaned in to take a look. The aroma of sauerkraut was appetizing, and the big bones inside were rolling in the boiling soup, which was indeed very appetizing. Besides that, there were quite a few dried goods also cooking in the pot.

"Lots of good things."

Lu Yi responded: "Yes, they were all sent to me from home."

"Wouldn't that be too extravagant?"

"Hey, what's this? Good things are only fragrant when everyone shares them.

In the past, the small meat processing plant where my parents worked didn't have good efficiency, and they couldn't really pay wages, so they could only use goods to pay.

Two months ago, my father signed an agreement with the town, which was considered half-contracting the meat processing plant. Who knew that orders suddenly came? The first month stopped the losses, and the second month turned losses into profits.

Although they still owe everyone a lot of wages, at least they saw hope.

I don't know how my father, an honest man for half his life, dared to do this. My mother is also a cautious person, but she actually dared to agree and accompanied my father to borrow the contracting deposit from relatives everywhere.

They didn't tell me in advance, and I just found out."

"Congratulations."

In this day and age, there are indeed many people who have made a fortune through enterprise restructuring, but those are the ones who got to eat meat; more are the ones who lost and failed.

Lu Yi: "Small money, small money, there is still a lot of deficit in the accounts, and it has to be paid back slowly."

"But at least you can go home for the New Year this year."

Lu Yi didn't go back during the summer vacation, but was busy tutoring to earn money.

"That's true."

Lu Yi put the big spoon on the edge of the pot and saw A Li. He was about to say that he had seen this incredibly beautiful little girl before, and she had come to the shop to buy a can of Jianlibao.

But seeing the girl and Brother Shentong holding hands, this enthusiastic greeting immediately extinguished, and he just smiled simply at A Li.

Then, he started cutting blood sausage into the pot.

A Li had seen Lu Yi before. At that time, Lu Yi looked like segments of red long snakes.

Naturally, he wasn't now, but his action of cutting blood sausage still made A Li feel a little interesting, and she unconsciously hooked the teenager's hand with her fingers.

No matter how smart Li Li Zhuiyuan is, it is impossible for him to guess that what A Li is thinking about now is the picture of red sausage snakes cutting themselves into the pot.

The teenager just thought that A Li was also hungry, so he smiled: "We'll start eating in a while, let's go see them first."

Lu Yi said busily: "The doctor has already been invited and is downstairs. Brother Shentong, the blood sausage will be ready in a while, I'll serve it for you first, and then I'll send it down to them."

"No rush, Brother Lu Yi, you go ahead, I'll go down and take a look."

"Alright, let it simmer for a while longer, it will be more flavorful."

Li Li Zhuiyuan held A Li's hand and walked towards the basement.

Fan Shulin, who had already treated the wounds of the three people, was sitting by Tan Tan Wenbin's bed, smoking with him.

"Mengmeng is from Shancheng, right?"

"Mengmeng?" Tan Tan Wenbin exhaled a smoke ring, "She let you call her that?"

"I just feel that calling her that is more intimate."

Tan Tan Wenbin looked Fan Shulin up and down and reminded him: "Brother Fan, listen to my advice, you are a surgical miracle doctor, and your profession doesn't match hers."

"Brother, what do you mean by this? Do I not have even a tiny chance to develop? Does she have a partner?"

"Not yet."

"Then what's the matter?" Fan Shulin patted his white coat, "Although my salary is a bit low, my work is a bit busy, and my career development is a bit narrow..."

As he spoke, Fan Shulin's own voice lowered, and he could only stubbornly say: "At least I'm not old yet."

"Brother Fan, if you want to find a partner, I can help you keep an eye out, but some women are really not suitable."

"Sigh, I know, she is beautiful, and I can't hold onto her."

Yin Meng is beautiful?

Tan Tan Wenbin really hadn't noticed this.

Perhaps they are too familiar with each other, so naturally they wouldn't care about each other's appearance. Furthermore, not everyone can be like A Li, who makes you feel extraordinary at a glance.

"Brother Fan, don't worry, I'll help you keep an eye out. There aren't many girls in our department."

"Then what are you saying?"

"But there are many boys, don't be so rigid about gender."

"Hahaha!"

The two laughed together.

It was a rather awkward topic, and ending it in this way was quite appropriate.

However, after laughing, although Fan Shulin did indeed extinguish his thoughts about Yin Meng, he also fell into a kind of melancholy, a sadness that a relationship had slipped away from his side.

Tan Tan Wenbin turned his head and reached out to shake off the ash.

He knows that this kind of man who has never been in a relationship likes to imagine a world-shaking love affair when he has no contact with girls or even when the girl has no feelings for him.

"I'll go see the two of them." Fan Shulin extinguished his cigarette and got up to leave the room.

Just as he left, Yin Meng pushed the door open and came in.

Tan Tan Wenbin observed Yin Meng carefully.

Yin Meng: "What's wrong?"

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Don't say, ever since Liu Yi helped you whiten your skin last time, you are really quite beautiful now."

"Really?" Yin Meng spread her hands and deliberately spun around on the spot, "Thanks for the compliment."

"No wonder that miracle doctor Fan ran over immediately as soon as you called him. Being good-looking really has advantages."

"Then no wonder I didn't have business when I opened a shop before. Was it because I wasn't good-looking enough at that time?"

Tan Tan Wenbin rolled his eyes at her and laughed: "Even if you were as beautiful as a fairy at that time, what would be the use? Who the hell would go into your shop to buy a coffin just because you look good?"

Yin Meng glared at Tan Tan Wenbin.

The door was pushed open, and Li Li Zhuiyuan stood at the door holding A Li's hand. Tan Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng immediately restrained the laughter on their faces.

"Brother Xiaoyuan."

"Brother Xiaoyuan."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Sorry, I let you have a cold scene."

Yin Meng lowered her head, holding back her laughter.

Tan Tan Wenbin: "How could that be? One can also be lively in seriousness."

Li Li Zhuiyuan asked: "How is your tailbone?"

"Need to rest for a period of time. I won't go back to the dormitory during this time, I'll just recuperate here, Mengmeng will take care of us."

As he spoke, Tan Tan Wenbin handed the dormitory door key to Li Li Zhuiyuan.

Yin Meng shrugged, obviously tacitly agreeing.

Li Li Zhuiyuan said to her: "Then you've worked hard. Cook more delicious food on weekdays to nourish them."

Yin Meng: "Alright."

Tan Tan Wenbin wailed: "No, don't."

Li Li Zhuiyuan and A Li left. Earlier, he had already visited the unconscious Lu Runsheng and the sleeping Lin Lin Shu You.

Yin Meng closed the room door, reached out and patted her chest, saying:

"The cold joke Brother Xiaoyuan told was so cold it made me a little scared."

Tan Tan Wenbin reached out to rub the corner of his mouth. He had shouted too exaggeratedly just now, and the corner of his mouth was pulled.

"Normal. When A Li is by Brother Xiaoyuan's side, Brother Xiaoyuan can have more human touch, and we also have to consciously cooperate."

"I'm still more used to Brother Xiaoyuan's previous way."

"The kind where he ties a whip around your neck and tells you to do whatever he wants, which actually makes you feel comfortable?"

"What kind of bullshit metaphor is this."

"The words are rough but the logic is not."

"That's true."

"Heh, I think you've been with Lu Runsheng for too long and learned from him to lose your own brain."

"Nonsense, Lu Runsheng is very smart."

Tan Tan Wenbin deliberately pinched his throat: "Fine, our Lu Runsheng Hou is very smart and clever, it's great wisdom that looks like stupidity."

After Lu Yi sent the food downstairs, he returned to the top and ate with Li Li Zhuiyuan and A Li, but he sat at the counter.

"Brother Lu Yi, you can sit a little closer."

"No need, Brother Shentong, I'll just balance the accounts while eating."

"You are really hardworking, just right, you can go back and inherit the family business in the future."

Lu Yi shook his head: "The nature of the enterprise hasn't changed, it's not my family business."

"I misspoke, sorry."

"Haha, it's me being serious, Brother Shentong. That, actually I'm thinking of starting something myself. I quite like this way of doing business by dealing with people."

"Then when the owner of this stronghold comes back, you can communicate more with him. He has many ideas and not a little capital."

The owner of the stronghold refers to the name on the business license of this shop.

Xue Liangliang is a guy who has detached from low-level interests. Clearly having the ability to make money, his desire to make money is very low. He only wants to do two things now:

One is to build the motherland, and the other is to return to Nantong.

Lu Yi didn't twist or be polite, and said directly: "Okay, when the stronghold leader comes back, I'll ask him for advice."

Next, it was a relatively quiet meal time.

Lu Yi actually sitting at the counter alone wasn't to balance accounts. He finishes today's work today; it's impossible that the accounts haven't been calculated late at night, but how to say, people have an aura. He sat with Brother Shentong and that girl, and he felt uncomfortable eating.

However, sitting further away and watching them eat is also a kind of enjoyment, better than the "Dream of the Red Chamber" TV series.

Watching them while eating, even the big bones in his hand seemed to have a delicate and graceful taste.

The reason is that the actors in the TV series are acting after all, but for A Li, this is her life.

It's a pity that Liu Yi doesn't usually come to the shop to buy things, otherwise she could have had some common language with Lu Yi.

After eating, Li Li Zhuiyuan sent A Li home.

When he wasn't exhausted to the point of fainting or overdrawn, he was embarrassed to sleep in A Li's room, although he really liked the texture of the carpet in A Li's bedroom.

"A Li, I'll tell you the story of this time in a few days, when I remember it."

Saying goodbye to A Li, with the dormitory door key Tan Tan Wenbin gave him in his hand, Li Li Zhuiyuan opened the dormitory door and returned to the dormitory.

After washing up, he prepared to go to bed and rest.

Li Li Zhuiyuan changed the position of the copper mirror and activated the dormitory isolation formation.

With just this simple action, Li Li Zhuiyuan was stunned.

He looked around at the formation he had personally arranged with some doubt. Deep in his heart, he actually felt that what he had arranged was garbage.

After simple thought, a new arrangement plan immediately appeared in his mind. He could integrate the Dao of Feng Shui into the formation. When activated, it could not only isolate this dormitory but also block noise interference from the outside world.

The secret method of the black leather book has made huge progress, and his attainments in formation and Feng Shui have also made a qualitative leap.

Li Li Zhuiyuan spread his palms and started to walk in the shadows.

In his palm, a cluster of black karmic fire appeared.

Flicking his fingertips gently, the karmic fire began to rotate and jump.

Concentrating and controlling it a little more, this black karmic fire actually changed into animal forms such as kittens, puppies, and elephants one after another.

Honestly, this kind of change has no use in actual combat.

But the previous him could not achieve such fine control over the art.

Therefore,

In that period of lost memory, was I studying hard?

To a certain extent, omitting or fast-forwarding the painful process of studying hard and directly reaching the point of mastery, this ability would make all students drool with envy.

However, what Li Li Zhuiyuan is thinking about is not just these.

He walked to Tan Tan Wenbin's desk, pulled out a book, then lay back on his bed and turned on the bedside lamp.

He actually doesn't have the habit of reading before going to bed. After leaving the desk and going to bed, he would rest directly.

But today, he made an exception.

The teenager is holding the fifth volume of "Records of Strange Tales of the Rivers and Lakes".

When flipping the pages, one can smell the faint Buddha sandalwood fragrance coming from the pages. Of course, the content on it is already the most basic thing for him now.

But after reading the introduction of each type of dead person, when he saw the line "destroyed by the righteous path" below, the speculation in his heart began to become more and more intense.

Just like Liu Liu Yumei didn't associate it with her own Xiao Yuan when she first learned that the family was exterminated, Li Li Zhuiyuan is actually the same.

This is no longer "darkness under the lamp"; this is a sunspot.

Li Li Zhuiyuan can no longer avoid it. When several clues appear, that most impossible answer almost becomes the only one in a certain sense.

There should still be quite a few people in this world who can teach him in formation, art, and Feng Shui, but there are very few who have the level to allow him to make a qualitative leap in a short period of time.

Most importantly, he also has to be able to teach him the secret method in the black leather book.

This thing is not something everyone can learn. It is known that another person in this world who knows this secret method is still suppressing himself under the peach forest at the moment.

He also has to trust him as soon as they meet.

He also has to be willing to help him.

Even at the expense of helping him plot against the Great Emperor of Fengdou.

Therefore,

It can only be you,

Wei Zhengdao!

Although the memory has still not been specifically found back, after confirming the base point of Wei Zhengdao, the causal thread of the whole thing becomes clear.

Because you don't have to care about "how exactly it was done," because Wei Zhengdao is there. Things that couldn't be done before can often become doable, and then with him as the center, the situation can be pulled together.

It's just, is Wei Zhengdao not dead yet?

No, according to the habits I deduced about him, this lost memory of mine has nothing to do with whether he is dead or not, as long as I continue to follow the previous behavioral pattern.

That is, if he is dead, I am happy; if he is not dead, I will go up and add a knife, and then hold a grand funeral for him.

Li Li Zhuiyuan put down the book, turned off the light, and started to sleep.

Although he had slept for two days and two nights before coming back, there were too many chores in the dream, and he really didn't rest well.

That night, Li Li Zhuiyuan had a dream, a very sloppy and simple dream.

In the dream, he saw a blurry figure sitting on a cute little white horse, accompanied by the sound of nursery rhymes, rising and falling, constantly rotating.

Li Li Zhuiyuan, in this shallow and simple dream, watched him sitting happily on the carousel again and again.

When the teenager woke up the next morning, that nursery rhyme like magic sound was still echoing in his mind: "What is father's father called..."

Li Li Zhuiyuan is good at physiognomy and numerology, and dream interpretation is just a small path among them, but even for him, there is really no way to interpret this kind of bizarre and strange dream.

In the morning, Li Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the dormitory. He was going to take A Li for a walk on the playground to let her gradually adapt to the outside.

"Brother Shentong, Brother Shentong!"

Lu Yi stood at the shop door, waving at this side.

Li Li Zhuiyuan walked over.

"Brother Shentong, the stronghold leader called, looking for you. I was just about to go to your dormitory to call you."

"Thank you, Brother Lu Yi."

Li Li Zhuiyuan walked to the counter. The phone had already been hung up. Usually, the other side gives time to call someone, and they will call again later. Of course, you can also take the initiative to call back, depending on whether you care about this bit of phone bill.

The teenager pressed the button, flipped up the call record, and looked at the prefix number.

As expected: Nantong.

By the water's edge, there are two kinds of existences that are hardest to understand.

One is the dead person; you don't know where they are.

One is the fishing enthusiast; they are everywhere.

In the morning, one, two, three... a group of fishing enthusiasts gathered by the river and cast their fishing rods.

On the road behind, there were bicycles, tricycles, motorcycles, and a Santana.

Yesterday, someone caught a big haul here, excitedly hung it on the front of the car, and didn't rush home, first strolling around the street for three full laps.

When others encountered vehicles or pedestrians blocking the way while riding, they would ring the bell; he would keep slapping the fish's mouth.

As the news spread, early this morning, at this fishing spot, a group of people gathered.

The winter morning wind was bleak, and everyone was shivering with cold, but no one dared to withdraw.

Because what is more painful than coming back empty-handed is hearing that the people around you caught a big haul here after you left.

However, at this moment, their attention was attracted by a young man at the other end in the distance.

When the young man arrived at the river, he waved and greeted them, then took off his clothes and placed them on the side, pressing them down with stones.

Immediately after, he jumped into the river.

At first, everyone thought he was here for winter swimming.

The youngest here was already over thirty, and they could only keep sighing: It really is a young man, full of fire.

After the young man jumped into the river, he quickly surfaced to the shore.

Then, the young man started jumping into the river for the second time.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh: It really is a young man, not only full of fire, but also really damn persistent.

Subsequently, it was bragging to each other about how strong and great their bodies were when they were young.

The young man surfaced to the shore for the third time. The young man seemed to be in a hurry and started shouting at the river:

"Hey, wife, I've come to find you, I've come to find you!"

After shouting several times in a row, the young man jumped into the river again.

A group of old fishing brothers looked at each other:

Bad, not good, this guy is not here for winter swimming, he is here to commit suicide for love!

Human life is at stake. The brothers immediately dropped their fishing rods and equipment and ran towards this side with all their might, but the young man's figure was already gone.

The river was vast. If he really drowned, there would be no way to know where to fish him out, because this place is very close to Chongming Island, and he could be washed into the sea in no time.

Just when everyone was spinning in circles with anxiety, a turning point appeared. The young man actually surfaced again and arrived at the shore.

He was very excited, shouting non-stop: "Hey, why don't you ignore me? I've come to find you, I've come to find you!"

The brothers immediately swarmed up and pulled the young man up. The young man still wanted to struggle, seemingly still wanting to continue jumping into the river. The brothers simply pressed him under their bodies and tied him up with fishing line first.

Then, everyone stopped fishing and started surrounding the young man, acting as his life mentors, unraveling his emotional problems.

For middle-aged men, the joy of chatting about this is no less than fishing.

Everyone took themselves as examples. Well, mainly because in this day and age, those who don't stay in bed early in the morning and can run to the river to fish, no matter how good their marital relationship is, it can't be that good.

Xue Liangliang was a bit dumbfounded, but in order to get away, he could only pretend to listen carefully, then continuously "enlightened," followed by "suddenly realized," then "sighed," and finally "swore."

While the brothers were talking until their mouths were dry, they were also enjoying it. Seeing that the young man had indeed seen through the vanity of love, they untied the fishing line for him.

After thanking them repeatedly, Xue Liangliang ran away from the river.

When he ran, the old fishing brother who drove the motorcycle followed him for a distance, preventing him from changing to another spot to continue jumping into the river to commit suicide.

Finally, Xue Liangliang simply sat on the brother's car, let him carry him to the town, found a small shop that had just opened, and picked up the phone.

Lu Yi answered the phone, and he went to call Xiao Yuan.

Xue Liangliang pursed his lips on the side, rubbing his hands, counting the seconds waiting.

At this time, the phone rang, and he answered immediately.

"Hey, Brother Liangliang, it's me, Xiao Yuan."

"Xiao Yuan, my wife won't let me in!"

Begging for monthly tickets!

The competition at the beginning of the month is the most intense. There is no double monthly ticket activity this month, no need to save tickets, so everyone who has tickets, just vote for the Dragon now, hugging everyone tight!
