Chapter 265

The restaurant boss glanced at Li Li Zhuiyuan. He didn't know how such a small child earned money, but he still cooperated with a compliment:

"That's great. The kid is filial, and you old folks can enjoy the blessings."

Li Sanjiang: "That's right!"

Returning to the table and sitting down, Li Weihan and Cui Guiying were still a bit restrained.

Cui Guiying still wanted to mutter something, but looking at Li Sanjiang sitting opposite, she ultimately closed her mouth.

Li Weihan felt his pocket. The cigarette pack he brought out in the morning originally had a few cigarettes left, but they were all smoked on the road and while climbing Langshan. The remaining whole cigarettes in the cabinet at home had been taken to Zhang Shen's small shop to be exchanged for money a while ago.

Li Sanjiang took out a cigarette, pulled one out, and threw it to Li Weihan. Without waiting for Li Weihan to help him light it, he took out a match and lit it himself.

A middle-aged couple sat at the table next to them, dressed in bright clothes. The man had a briefcase on the chair beside him, and a mobile phone was standing on the table.

The woman was very beautiful, with a distinct difference in appearance from the locals; she should be from the Western Regions.

At this moment, the man turned sideways and beckoned to Li Sanjiang:

"Old man, shall we have a drink?"

Li Sanjiang turned his head to look at him and smiled: "Sure!"

Li Li Zhuiyuan reached out to open the white liquor bottle, but the man poured two glasses of wine at his own table, walked over, and handed one to Li Sanjiang.

"Come, old man, I'll finish mine first."

"Cheers!"

The two clinked glasses. The man tilted his head and drank it in one gulp. When he lowered his head again, he smacked his lips, his eyes turned red, and he sighed.

Li Li Zhuiyuan looked at the man's physiognomy—a full forehead and a round, square face; it was an excellent physiognomy. People with this physiognomy, as long as they didn't take the evil path, could easily achieve something in any profession.

"Old man, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but just hearing the commotion of you ordering food reminded me of my father."

When He Shen was sitting there eating with his wife earlier, Li Li Zhuiyuan asked about a dish, and Li Sanjiang would loudly respond in agreement, focusing on whatever the child ordered, he was happy to eat, without any affectation.

Listening to this, He Shen's emotions rose. He felt a bit surprised and extremely envious.

He wished his own father could be like Li Sanjiang. Unfortunately, his father was at the other extreme.

Li Sanjiang: "Your father isn't as old as me, right?"

He Shen nodded: "Old man, you look old, but your body is truly good."

Li Sanjiang: "Sigh, I can eat, sleep, and stroll every day, and I don't have any worries. Isn't that just nourishing the body?"

He Shen: "That's great. Come, old man, let's have another one."

"Drink mine, drink mine." Li Sanjiang stopped the other party from returning to the table to get wine and picked up the white liquor he had ordered to fill their glasses.

For the second glass of wine, the man didn't finish it, just took a shallow sip, and Li Sanjiang also just took a little.

"Listening to your accent, from over in Haian?"

"Mm, but I usually do some small business in Shanghai. This time I came back to hold the 'five-seven' memorial for my father and stopped by Langshan to burn some incense."

"Ah, how did he pass?"

"He went to watch a fish pond for someone, slipped, fell in, and was gone."

"Oh." Li Sanjiang responded first, then added, "Sigh."

When He Shen said this, there wasn't much regret in his tone; instead, there was more of a sense of relief and release.

"At first, I brought my father to Shanghai to live with us, but he wasn't used to it and made a fuss about returning to his hometown, so I sent him back.

The year before last, he went to work in a kiln and injured his waist, lying on the bed for several months. We went back to see him and arranged for a neighbor to take care of him, and we paid for it.

Who knew that after we left, he actually insisted on asking the neighbor to return the nursing fee, and then he curled up on the bed all by himself. It was so dirty, it was simply unwatchable.

If it weren't for a childhood friend in the village calling me, I wouldn't have known. I had to drop my business and bring my wife back to take care of him.

After he recovered, he still didn't want to go to Shanghai, and he wouldn't live in a nursing home in the city no matter what, so we had to let him stay at home.

Originally, the land at home had been rented to others to farm, but he was good—for the sake of a little wage, he went to farm for other families again, and as a result, he fainted in the field, scaring the family who hired him half to death.

When we came back again and sent him to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor even blamed us for how we treated the elderly, saying the old man was severely malnourished.

Actually, the tonics at home were never interrupted, and I gave him enough money every month. He just couldn't bear to spend it, and he would sell the tonics at half price as soon as I brought them in.

There was no way around it. My wife and I could only watch him eat every day, coaxing him like a child. But if there was a little more meat in the dishes that day, it was like setting his house on fire; he could recount the bitter days he had lived before, scolding you for not knowing how to live and saying you would be punished by heaven.

When we were in the hometown, we could at least maintain appearances, but as long as we left, he would immediately go out to find work, and then his body would have problems again, and we would come back, repeatedly tossing and turning.

Finally, when he was watching the fish pond for someone, he completely exhausted himself."

Li Sanjiang raised his glass and sighed: "You are filial."

He Shen shook his head: "I don't count. After knowing he was truly gone this time, I really felt relieved."

Li Sanjiang: "You did enough. Some people are born stubborn; they can't see the changes in the world and can't listen to reason. Moreover, they have their own set of ideas in their heads and just feel they are right."

As he spoke, Li Sanjiang also specifically glanced at Li Weihan.

Li Weihan lowered his head and picked up his chopsticks to pick up a piece of chives and put it into his mouth.

Li Sanjiang: "Eat meat! Who are you performing for by chewing grass!"

Li Weihan immediately picked up a piece of meat and then picked up a piece of hairtail for Cui Guiying.

He Shen took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Li Sanjiang.

"Yo, Zhonghua."

Li Sanjiang took the cigarette and tucked it behind his ear.

He Shen: "It's ridiculous to say, I consider myself to have some ability and can make money, but my father really didn't enjoy any blessings in his life."

Li Sanjiang: "There are plenty of those. You could say that life was difficult in the past, so you should be frugal now—anyone can say such big truths.

But some people aren't being frugal; they are self-abasing, and not only that, they have to drag the younger generation along with them.

If they could just stay in a corner and perish on their own, that would be fine, but they have to come up with all sorts of tricks, and the more filial the younger generation is, the more uncomfortable they are made to feel."

He Shen sighed: "I thought when I sat there, if my father could be like you, old man, that would be great."

Li Sanjiang's old face flushed, and he said: "I'm just a fool who eats whatever I have. You shouldn't be like me."

He Shen smiled: "Having an elder like you in the family, life must be very comfortable."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Mm."

He Shen handed out a business card, which had a transportation company written on it. The scale should be quite large, mainly running long-distance routes.

Li Sanjiang took the business card and said sheepishly: "I won't give you my business card, anyway you won't come back much, hehe."

In the funeral business, it was impossible to have the habit of actively giving out business cards and saying "if you have anything in the future, just look for me."

He Shen's wife got up and walked over, and He Shen introduced his wife.

When he was young, he was a truck apprentice and ran long routes. He met his wife in the Western Regions. He said very proudly that when he was an apprentice, he didn't have much money and was just a poor boy, but his wife was as beautiful as a fairy in a mural, yet she recognized him and eloped with him.

Later, he had his own truck, life got better step by step, and the misunderstandings and conflicts with his wife's family were long resolved. His brothers-in-law also opened trucks or restaurants with his support.

After chatting for a while and checking the time, He Shen led his wife to say goodbye and leave the restaurant first.

There were indeed a lot of dishes ordered, but they basically finished them. Even the last soup bowl was assigned a task by Li Sanjiang, mixed into the rice, and solved by each of them.

After the meal, Li Sanjiang took out money from his pocket while picking his teeth and secretly handed it to Li Li Zhuiyuan under the table.

Li Li Zhuiyuan pushed it away.

Li Sanjiang didn't force it anymore; he was just afraid that Marquis Xiaoyuan didn't have enough money in his pocket.

"I'll go pay the bill."

Li Li Zhuiyuan stood up to perform the bill payment.

His hearing was good. When He Shen left earlier, he heard the other party pay the bill for their table.

Walking back, Li Li Zhuiyuan said: "Great-grandfather, the boss just paid our bill."

Li Sanjiang was stunned for a moment and said: "He is indeed a generous person. It's a pity his father didn't have the life to enjoy blessings."

Cui Guiying couldn't understand: "A stranger, had a drink, and then treated us to a meal?"

Li Sanjiang: "He has money, he's happy."

He Shen perhaps had accumulated too much frustration with his father, and today, at his grandfather's place, he gained great emotional value.

However, Li Li Zhuiyuan also felt that it might be the words Li Sanjiang used to scold his grandfather and grandmother that made He Shen feel satisfied.

After the meal time, there were no new guests, so the four of them sat in the restaurant for a while longer, firstly to digest, and secondly to sober up.

In this day and age, there wasn't much checking for drunk driving, let alone riding a tricycle, but life was ultimately one's own, so they had to wait until their brains were clearer before leaving.

Feeling it was about time, Li Sanjiang rode the tricycle carrying Li Li Zhuiyuan, and Li Weihan rode the 28-inch bicycle carrying Cui Guiying. The two vehicles drove toward Shinan Town together.

When they arrived at Siyuan Village, it was near dusk. The two sides separated on the village road, and Li Li Zhuiyuan naturally went home with Li Sanjiang.

From afar, Li Sanjiang saw the figures of Lu Runsheng, Lin Lin Shu You, and Yin Meng on the dam, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: Heh, all the mules are back in place!

But after getting on the dam and counting carefully, Li Sanjiang asked suspiciously:

"What's up, Brother Zhuangzhuang hasn't come back this time?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Brother Zhuangzhuang will be back tomorrow."

Li Sanjiang: "Oh, that's fine. By the way, Marquis Xiaoyuan, go check the east room, the old lady seems to be feeling a bit unwell."

When eating and returning home earlier, Li Sanjiang deliberately didn't say anything, fearing the kid would worry.

"Okay, Great-grandfather."

Actually, Li Li Zhuiyuan could see that there was a problem at home from the expressions on Lin Lin Shu You and Yin Meng's faces.

Moreover, A-Li's figure couldn't be seen on the second-floor terrace either. In the past, when he wasn't home, A-Li would either be painting or doing crafts in her room, or sitting on the terrace rattan chair basking in the sun and looking at the scenery.

Li Sanjiang shouted to Liu Yi: "Marquis Ting, I'm tired, I'm going to take a nap first, don't worry about making dinner for me."

Liu Yi, standing at the kitchen door, responded: "They're back, don't worry about leftovers even if you make more."

"Haha!" Li Sanjiang waved his hand and went upstairs to his room to rest.

The expression on Liu Yi's face changed slightly. She turned sideways and cleared the way at the kitchen door.

Although she didn't speak, Li Li Zhuiyuan knew what she meant and walked into the kitchen.

The Kitchen God portrait in the kitchen had been moved, and a small offering table was placed underneath with four candles lit.

Three of them were for show, to cover up one of them.

Li Li Zhuiyuan walked to that candle, fanned it gently with his palm, and the originally normal candle flame turned milky white.

Liu Yi hesitated, but decided to speak: "Xiaoyuan..."

Li Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand, signaling Liu Yi not to say anything.

He could see the problem at home himself; there was no need to let Liu Yi get involved in his own river-walking karma.

Li Li Zhuiyuan carried the candle out of the kitchen. Qin Shu came back carrying a hoe and stood below the dam.

After nodding to Qin Shu, Li Li Zhuiyuan pushed open the door of the east room.

As soon as the door opened, Li Li Zhuiyuan sensed the thick and irritable Feng Shui weather force in the room, as if a wind eye was stuck inside.

Ordinary people walking in would likely get lost on the spot and blur all their perceptions.

Great-grandfather said the old lady was feeling unwell; it was probably because the old lady rarely went out or played cards recently.

Li Li Zhuiyuan protected the candle flame with his hand and walked into the room.

The offering table in the main room was covered with a white cloth, covering all the spirit tablets.

Li Li Zhuiyuan walked toward the north bedroom. The door was closed. He wanted to push it open, but as soon as his hand touched the door surface, a terrifying and sharp consciousness immediately overflowed, like a terrifying existence that had originally been sleeping had raised its head.

The good news was that this wasn't an external evil invasion; it was an acquaintance.

The bad news was that the old lady must really be in trouble.

Li Li Zhuiyuan exerted force with his palm and pushed the door inward. The resistance was very strong. Just as he pushed it open by a palm's width, the force on the opposite side suddenly intensified. Li Li Zhuiyuan still had to protect the candle holder and didn't dare to push hard, so he could only let go first.

But someone inside the bedroom reached out and grabbed the door, opening it.

It was A-Li.

Seeing that the youth had returned, the girl felt the burden on her body suddenly lift.

Although they were still young, the things they had experienced together had long made them treat each other as true reliance.

A-Li turned around, and Li Li Zhuiyuan also looked into the bedroom.

On the bed, a young woman sat cross-legged with a long sword placed in front of her.

The woman's eyes were closed, but it was probably because of his arrival that she opened a slit slightly. This invisible and terrifying pressure was transmitted from here.

This is... Grandma Liu?

Very similar, indeed very similar, but having been used to Grandma Liu's elderly appearance, seeing her youth at first glance felt very unreal. Moreover, it wasn't through old photos or portraits; he was seeing the real person on the spot.

Li Li Zhuiyuan immediately understood that Liu Liu Yumei had used a secret technique of the Liu family to trace back her youth and even intercept her own memories.

It sounded a bit like the evil spirit he had just solved, but this secret technique of the Liu family wasn't directed outward, but inward, and only a very small number of elderly people in the family with outstanding talent since childhood could use this move.

When the elderly encountered a critical moment and wanted to get rid of the negative effects of aging, but people's experience and cognition were also an important part of strength. If you really adjusted your memory back, your body would be young for a short time, but your cognition would be reduced, so you might become weaker instead.

Liu Liu Yumei obviously didn't have this problem. The old lady was very proud. She didn't walk the river because her husband walked the river, not because she didn't have the qualifications to compete for the Dragon King back then.

Now it could be confirmed that the scene of corpses in the Qixing Temple was the work of the old lady.

Using Feng Shui weather as a guide and branch inheritance as a lead, she destroyed a sect and cut off an inheritance from thousands of miles away.

The Qin family was good at refining the body, paying attention to the fact that even if one person fought, it would still be endless. Then, how could the Liu family, which could stand with the Qin family and had been enemies for many generations, not have their own skills to establish a family?

However, what made Li Li Zhuiyuan a bit confused was that with Liu Liu Yumei's strength level, even if she used this secret technique, it shouldn't have turned into what it was now.

The current situation was clearly the ending of this secret technique encountering problems.

The facts were indeed so. Originally, there was no problem with this technique, but Liu Liu Yumei ultimately underestimated the temperament of her young self as a young lady.

Perhaps after getting older, one would naturally add a filter to one's past.

In short, Liu Liu Yumei herself didn't expect that her younger self, after killing those seven Daoists and destroying the Qixing Temple orthodoxy, actually turned around and took her sword to have a fight with that one under the peach forest.

The reason for the fight was that it had been watching her!

In a normal state, if they really had a fight, it would be nothing. The Peach Blossom Immortal wouldn't kill her, and the Liu family young lady's temper wouldn't be so bad that she had to suppress everyone she saw.

But the problem was, in order to support Li Li Zhuiyuan's river-walking and help the youth reduce pressure, Liu Liu Yumei deliberately extracted one of her souls. Her thinking was already severely limited, and after such a fight, it became a bit chaotic.

Li Li Zhuiyuan walked to the bed and found many peach branches on the bed, and there were quite a few peach blossoms on the quilt.

The youth had returned directly here and hadn't had time to go to Hu Zi's house, but he estimated that many peach blossoms must have been cut down in the peach forest, and it must be quite bare.

"Hum!"

Along with Li Li Zhuiyuan's approach, the sword slowly pointed its tip at the youth.

The Feng Shui force all around began to condense toward it. Next, even if it didn't stab out, it could still cause damage to Li Li Zhuiyuan with the image of Feng Shui.

The youth spread his right hand and began to guide the Feng Shui force here, dissolving the sharpness on the sword tip.

Liu Liu Yumei's eyes opened a little more.

Continuing to walk toward the bed, the peach branches stood up. For a moment, the bed in front of Li Li Zhuiyuan was completely covered by peach branches.

Li Li Zhuiyuan pressed his palm on the peach branches, Feng Shui force entered the formation, and the peach branches fell one after another, and everything returned to normal.

Liu Liu Yumei finally opened her eyes, looked at Li Li Zhuiyuan, and said:

"It seems that my Liu family has produced a genius."

At such a young age, to be able to understand Feng Shui force to such a degree could be called a monster. Even Liu Liu Yumei herself, at the same age, felt inferior.

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Mm."

Picking up the peach branches on the bed, Li Li Zhuiyuan intended to return Liu Liu Yumei's candle flame soul to its place.

Liu Liu Yumei: "Which branch are you from?"

This question, Li Li Zhuiyuan really didn't know how to answer.

If he really wanted to investigate strictly, he should belong to A-Li's branch.

Liu Liu Yumei misunderstood and said: "Are you from a side branch? No matter, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate is just for the allocation of family resources. Since you have such potential, your status must be higher than that of the legitimate branch. If the old things in the family don't understand this truth, then I will arrange it for you."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Thank you, Young Lady."

The youth's fingertip approached the candle flame, hooked it gently, and the milky white candle flame left the candle holder and began to burn on the youth's fingertip.

Next, he had to hit it into Liu Liu Yumei's forehead, so that she could restore all her memories.

The problems on her body were indeed very heavy, but as long as Grandma Liu could restore her self-consciousness, she could solve these problems herself.

Why didn't Liu Yi and the others do this?

It was because Grandma Liu had instructed beforehand that she must wait until she returned before this soul could be returned to its place?

Li Li Zhuiyuan guessed half of it right.

In fact, after Lu Runsheng and the others returned and were told that Xiaoyuan himself was also in Nantong, Liu Yi couldn't wait to make an attempt, and then... failed.

This time, when Li Li Zhuiyuan wanted to return the candle flame to its owner, a strong evil wind suddenly surged from the bed, and the candle flame shook rapidly, as if it were about to go out.

If Liu Yi or Qin Shu were here, they could quickly dodge and move to ensure the safety of the candle flame, but Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't have this ability for the time being.

To protect the candle flame, Li Li Zhuiyuan could only tremble his fingertips, using the rhyme of the "Qin Family Dragon-Watching Method" to keep the candle flame alive under the blowing of this evil wind.

Liu Liu Yumei's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief:

"Qin family?"

"Hum!"

The sword tip that had just been calmed down by Li Li Zhuiyuan, summoned by the change in the owner's emotions, began to condense sharpness again.

Grandma Liu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth about Li Li Zhuiyuan being able to inherit the family gates and unique skills of both families, but to the Liu young lady here, it was simply rebellious!

Li Li Zhuiyuan said: "I tried to steal the Qin family's cultivation method. I didn't know until I learned it that the kung fu of those martial barbarians in the Qin family was so simple and crude."

Hearing this, Liu Liu Yumei's expression softened, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

"Have you reported it to the family?"

"I have reported it. The elders in the family already know, and they have allowed me to continue practicing."

"Is what you got complete?"

"It's not complete, but I can complete it."

"Complete it." Liu Liu Yumei's gaze toward Li Li Zhuiyuan changed again. "You are a good child. After I walk the river, the next generation's river can be walked by you."

"Thank you, Young Lady, for your love."

"After you complete it, bring it to me for a look first."

"As you command."

The Liu young lady was now very interested in the "Qin Family Dragon-Watching Method." She also recognized the foundation of the Qin family.

However, what she didn't know was that in the future, she would also have the status of the Qin family's young mistress. Not to mention the "Qin Family Dragon-Watching Method," even the key to the Qin family's ancestral residence was held in her hands.

Li Li Zhuiyuan took a few steps back, and the evil wind stopped.

The youth began to look for the origin of the evil wind, and finally, at the wrist where Liu Liu Yumei's sleeve couldn't completely cover, he saw half a face—it was a woman's face. She had just opened her mouth, and now her mouth was closing.

This face should have been left by that one under the peach forest; it had many, many faces.

With this face here, Li Li Zhuiyuan couldn't really get close to Liu Liu Yumei to return that soul, and facing Liu Liu Yumei, you couldn't use force.

The youth sent the flame on his fingertip back to the candle holder and bowed slightly to Liu Liu Yumei:

"Young Lady, I will withdraw first."

"Go."

Li Li Zhuiyuan carried the candle, nodded to A-Li, and walked out.

Just as the youth left, Liu Liu Yumei, who had fully opened her eyes, got off the bed and stood up.

A-Li moved her small stool to the front of the bed and sat down, looking at Liu Liu Yumei.

Liu Liu Yumei, who was about to walk out, sat back on the bed, sat cross-legged, and her eyelids began to close slowly.

During this period, A-Li basically sat face-to-face with Liu Liu Yumei like this.

Because only in this way would Liu Liu Yumei return to quietness.

Otherwise, she would go out to be active, and it was hard to say if she would go to the peach forest to find that one and have another fight.

Liu Liu Yumei: "He is the young man you are looking for?"

A-Li didn't speak.

Liu Liu Yumei: "Since he is from a side branch, the blood relationship is not close, so there is no problem."

A-Li continued to be silent.

Liu Liu Yumei: "The talent of this youth, even I have to praise, but such people are often not a good match. Those who are mature in mind are often indifferent to love.

Listen to your sister's advice: just leave some people in the scenery of youth. As for the future, you can pick another one. Sister can help you look for one."

A-Li still didn't respond.

Liu Liu Yumei's eyelids were about to fall, but she was still concerned about A-Li's affairs. There was no way around it; who told her to have a natural closeness to this young sister from the same family from the bottom of her bones.

"Don't care what the elders in the family say. Even if it's their arrangement, I can help you top it off. I dislike those elders who are keen on pointing out marriages for the younger generation the most; they simply don't have any proper form."

The Liu young lady in the past had indeed done so. The Qin family young master could throw a punch at the blind date arranged by the Liu family and throw him into a dung pit. How could there be no hint or authorization from the Liu young lady here?

Moreover, the fact that the Qin and Liu families could successfully marry in the end was an astonishing move that the elders of the two families wouldn't dare to imagine even if they scratched their heads.

The Liu young lady continued to chatter.

A-Li's fingers gently fiddled with the beads embedded on her skirt, counting them one by one.

Until Liu Liu Yumei's eyelids closed, and her voice finally stopped.

A-Li breathed a sigh of relief.

She was now a bit worried: after Grandma woke up, would this memory be retained?

If it were retained, how would Grandma face herself during this period?

Outside the house.

Li Li Zhuiyuan handed the candle to Liu Yi and then pointed in the direction of the bearded man's house.

Liu Yi nodded. That place was only accessible to Li Li Zhuiyuan, and that one only gave the youth face.

When he arrived at the bearded man's house, Xiao Yingying was sitting on the dam making paper offerings, and Tan Tan Wenbin was sitting in a wheelchair, also helping as much as he could.

Beside him was a crib. Benben was sitting inside, looking left and right, deliberately playing tricks, wanting to tease the two invisible brothers into laughing.

Li Li Zhuiyuan had once signaled Xiong Shan to seal Benben's spiritual sense, and Xiong Shan had obediently done so. Now, Xiong Shan's seal was still there, but the child had completed a breakthrough and could still see ghosts.

Xiong Shan asked Li Li Zhuiyuan if he wanted to continue adding seals, but Li Li Zhuiyuan vetoed it.

Because he was worried that if he continued to add them, the child would treat the seal as a toy ladder—you add it here, and he tries hard to climb up there, don't make it look like he's practicing in advance.

He was born with merits and was naturally intelligent, plus he was taken care of by that one under the peach forest. This child's talent was truly overflowing.

You know, Yin Meng couldn't maintain her ghost-walking state for too long now, but this child could play with ghosts all day.

Originally, under Benben's efforts, the two ghost brothers were almost about to laugh.

As a result, as soon as Li Li Zhuiyuan came, all three children stopped smiling.

"Brother Xiaoyuan?"

"I'll go find it."

Li Li Zhuiyuan pointed into the peach forest and then walked in.

Looking from the outside, the peach forest was still the same. Its appearance on the outside still followed the seasons, but inside, peach blossoms were always in full bloom.

But this time walking in, Li Li Zhuiyuan found that many trees had been broken, and there was an area where the trees were bare.

"You're here..."

Li Li Zhuiyuan looked in the direction of the voice. Under a peach tree stump, Qing An was leaning there, long hair fluttering, clothes hanging down, holding a jar of wine in his right hand.

The "Wei-Jin romanticism" often mentioned in history books was vividly embodied in him and Wei Zhengdao.

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "I'm here to apologize. Grandma Liu was also for my sake."

"I'm not angry." Qing An picked up the wine jar and took a big gulp. His sleeves fell, revealing a deep sword wound on his right arm.

There was still sword energy remaining on it that hadn't dissipated.

It seemed that after the two sides fought, they had left some things for each other.

Qing An looked at Li Li Zhuiyuan with a half-smile: "I'm really not angry. The little girl has a bit of a young lady's temper, which is perfectly normal."

With Qing An's age, he could indeed address Liu Liu Yumei this way, even if it was Liu Liu Yumei before she became young.

Qing An flicked his hand, and a peach blossom fell into Li Li Zhuiyuan's palm.

"Leaving a face on her is to prevent her from really getting carried away and wanting to fight me to the death. After the matter is resolved, you tell her, if she still wants to fight, then let's fight properly.

I have no interest in bullying a little girl with incomplete souls."

"Good."

Li Li Zhuiyuan knew that after Grandma Liu recovered, she definitely wouldn't come to fight again. If she really wanted to fight, she wouldn't have been living in peace for several years here.

"This girl's temper is like an old friend. I can't remember her name, only that she also used a sword. It's quite good. People with big tempers are often daring to love and hate."

Li Li Zhuiyuan stood there, continuing to listen.

Qing An continued to reminisce: "Unfortunately, she fell in love with someone who didn't love her."

Pausing, Qing An asked: "Is it vulgar?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Vulgar."

"The vulgar world, isn't it just like this? If you really want to be free from vulgarity, it's not interesting."

"That's right."

Qing An waved his hand and smiled: "Thanks to her, after this fight, I can die a few years earlier. When she wakes up, you thank her for me."

"Good."

Li Li Zhuiyuan turned and left.

Although the two sides had a fight, they didn't really fight out of anger, so it was very simple to handle things. Of course, it was also because there was him as a middleman.

Walking out of the peach forest, he saw Xiao Yingying holding a basket, looking like she was about to go out.

Xiao Yingying: "Going to buy wine, its offering wine."

Tan Tan Wenbin said: "I asked Xiao Yingying to help me buy a birthday cake."

The day of parting was also a birthday, so Tan Tan Wenbin planned to celebrate with the two children.

Li Li Zhuiyuan said to Xiao Yingying: "You ask someone to come over and repair this peach forest again."

Tan Tan Wenbin shouted: "No need to trouble someone else, A-You is at home, let A-You do it."

It wasn't that Tan Tan Wenbin was deliberately exploiting Lin Lin Shu You's labor; this was an opportunity to get closer to the one under the peach forest. Even if A-You didn't care, the child in his body would definitely be very active.

Li Li Zhuiyuan said "Mm" and turned to leave.

On the village road, the youth "happened" to meet Deng Chen.

He was riding a second-hand bicycle, with a camera in the front basket and a photo frame in the back basket.

Deng Chen was also having a hard time. He received notice that he was about to go on duty.

But he wasn't suitable to go to the bearded man's house now. People were in the middle of a father-son parting; if he went now, it would be easy to be disliked.

Li Sanjiang's house, he didn't dare to go. There were too many big shots living inside, and it wasn't something he should see, let alone see.

But he had to find a way to report, so he simply came to Siyuan Village to take funeral portraits for the elderly. After seeing the small pickup truck return, he kept riding his bicycle around here, just for a suitable encounter.

"Brother Xiaoyuan!"

The report was successful. Deng Chen got off the bike and pushed it to Li Li Zhuiyuan.

"You go back to Shigang Town first, wait for my notice tonight before coming over."

"Okay, Brother Xiaoyuan!"

Deng Chen skillfully rode his bicycle away again, the pedals pedaling with extra force.

If Grandma Liu's matter could be resolved smoothly tonight, then they could follow the arrangement and help Tan Tan Wenbin send the two children to be reincarnated tonight.

Under the peach forest.

Qing An raised the wine jar, poured the wine inside onto his arm, and then lowered his head, pressing his lips against the skin to inhale the wine.

Along with it, he inhaled the sword energy remaining on his arm, and the wound recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, soon, on the originally smooth skin, faces appeared again.

They made all kinds of expressions, expressing extremely rich emotions.

Qing An's eyes gradually became scattered, and then chaotic.

In fact, most of the time, it didn't remember who it was.

The only thing it truly remembered deeply was the one from the past.

The youth's resemblance to him and his relationship with him could allow it to find the self in the mirror of the past through the youth, obtaining a rare moment of clarity.

After the sword energy entered his throat, it elevated the ordinary loose wine bought from the town to be extremely fierce.

Although its eyes and expression were already muddled, its mouth muttered like a dream:

"You should... still be alive, right?

Are you still loving him, or do you hate him to death?"

At the beginning, she said her greatest wish was to be able to accompany him forever and always be able to look at him.

Then, he researched and taught her the method of longevity, and she practiced it.

"But longevity is a torture..."

Liu Liu Yumei opened her eyes again. She got up from the bed again because she sensed that the sword energy she left on that one under the peach forest had disappeared.

After that fight, a tacit understanding had been maintained between the two sides. At least on the surface, neither had lost.

Now, it had destroyed the tacit understanding, so Liu Liu Yumei couldn't continue sitting anymore. The young lady couldn't admit defeat.

A-Li also stood up and reached out to stop Liu Liu Yumei.

But this time, Liu Liu Yumei's attitude was very resolute, and even A-Li couldn't stop her.

Outside the house, Liu Yi and Qin Shu looked at each other. They sensed that the mistress's aura was rising again, and she might walk out in the next moment.

At that time, what should they do?

Should they stop the mistress, or accompany the mistress to fight?

Fortunately, at this moment, the youth returned.

Li Li Zhuiyuan took the candle from Liu Yi again and walked into the east room.

Just as the bedroom door was pushed open, A-Li backed out first, and Li Li Zhuiyuan hurriedly reached out to support her.

Liu Liu Yumei walked out of the bedroom and happened to see this scene, saying coldly:

"Even if you have a marriage arrangement, you still need to know that men and women should not touch before marriage. Being so clingy, what kind of decorum is this?"

Liu Yi, standing outside, heard this sentence and her cheeks puffed up.

She didn't know who was just like her, who liked to sit on the dam drinking tea and enjoying the scene of the two children being together.

She just ate melon seeds to satisfy her cravings, but that one was thinking about a big bowl of names in her heart while watching.

She wished the two children would become adults tomorrow, hold the wedding, and hurry up to change the big bowl of names into a basket of little cubs.

Qin Shu didn't laugh. On weekdays, he was either farming or delivering goods during the day, lacking this kind of observation.

Liu Yi looked at him.

Seeing Liu Yi's appearance, Qin Shu naturally laughed out loud: "Heh."

"Hum!"

A sword flew out from the room.

Qin Shu instinctively wanted to use his fist to smash the sword away, but once he thought about whose sword this was, a greater instinct immediately suppressed the instinct in front of him.

He didn't move, and the sword slapped his chest with its side. Qin Shu stood there, and a red blood mark appeared on his chest.

Liu Yi hurriedly gave Qin Shu a look, shaking her head, signaling him to fly out.

The first sword didn't knock him away, which was regarded as disobedience and provocation, so the second sword attacked again.

"Bang!"

This time, Qin Shu flew backward, flying very far, crossing the dam and falling into the newly built flower bed.

Mainly because Qin Shu was a "Qin family member," the Liu young lady couldn't tolerate the Qin family's lecherous person being presumptuous in front of her, and she wouldn't give the Qin family's lecherous person a good look.

Li Li Zhuiyuan walked to Liu Liu Yumei's side, and the candle flame was connected to his fingertip again.

The woman's face on Liu Liu Yumei's wrist opened her mouth again, and the evil wind was about to rise.

Liu Liu Yumei reached out and took back the sword, pointing the sword tip at her wrist. Looking like this, she intended to gouge this face off.

Li Li Zhuiyuan threw a peach blossom first, covering the wrist. The face twisted rapidly and was collected into the peach blossom petal. The peach blossom dissipated, and the face disappeared along with it.

Immediately after, Li Li Zhuiyuan flicked his fingertip, and the candle flame flew out and entered Liu Liu Yumei's forehead.

It was mainly because Liu Liu Yumei's previous worldview was incomplete, so she assumed Li Li Zhuiyuan was from her own family, so she wouldn't be on guard against his approach and actions.

The soul returned to its place, and Liu Liu Yumei closed her eyes.

The aura around her body quickly converged. At the same time, the originally jet-black hair began to turn white, and the smooth and firm skin became old.

The Liu young lady gradually grew old and turned back into Grandma Liu.

This kind of technique was very damaging to one's vitality after a long time. This was also the reason why A-Li had been sitting in the bedroom and not letting Liu Liu Yumei be active, so that she could help her grandmother save more consumption.

Grandma Liu slowly opened her eyes and could clearly feel that she was back.

Liu Liu Yumei said blankly: "What happened to me?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Grandma, you caught a cold and slept for a long time. Now that you've taken medicine, you're much better."

Liu Liu Yumei nodded thoughtfully and smiled: "Then that must be it. Xiaoyuan, you're back?"

"Mm, I'm back."

"Hey, where's A-Li?"

Liu Yi: "A-Li is busy tending to the flower bed."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Grandma, you've just recovered from a serious illness, you still need to pay attention to rest."

"Mm."

Liu Liu Yumei turned and walked back to the room.

The youth looked at A-Li, signaling her to take care of Grandma first.

Afterward, Li Li Zhuiyuan stood outside the house and closed the door.

Inside the house, Liu Liu Yumei held A-Li's hand and said:

"A-Li, Grandma is really tired, I need to take good care of my body, you help your sister me to bed."
