Chapter 298

Zhao Yi immediately rolled out of bed, opened his luggage, and began to search; soon, he took out a hardcover notebook.

This was the latest version of the Jiujiang Zhao genealogy—revised by Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi loved the Zhao family; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so worried and terrified about the Emperor's "seal on the entire clan."

But this love was not much.

To be precise, it was not blind; it was a selective and targeted love.

After all, whose family genealogy would be full of checkmarks and crosses?

Returning to the bed, he spread out the genealogy, his left hand constantly rubbing and sliding over various names, his right hand holding a fine brush.

At this moment, Zhao Yi no longer looked like a romantic young master, but rather like a penny-pinching accountant.

"I think, the Underworld is empty over a large area now, and the impact must be huge; therefore, for the sake of order in the Underworld and stability in the human world, my Zhao family should carry forward the spirit of the Profound Gate.

For example, select some experienced clan elders and blood relatives of branch families who have mastered specific departments throughout the generations to support the reconstruction work of the Underworld."

Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't speak and closed his eyes.

Although he didn't get a response, Zhao Yi was still happy in his own way; he didn't even sleep, continuing to check off names on the genealogy, sometimes frowning in entanglement, sometimes unable to hold back a "hehehe" laugh.

The door of the next room was pushed open, and Tan Tan Wenbin walked in.

Lin Lin Shu You: "Brother Bin, did you go to get glasses?"

Tan Tan Wenbin: "I asked Brother Liang to help me borrow a spare pair of glasses from someone."

Lin Lin Shu You: "Don't you need to measure your prescription to get glasses?"

Tan Tan Wenbin: "These are reading glasses; they'll do for now."

Adjusting the frames, Tan Tan Wenbin brought his face close to Lin Lin Shu You's, touched Ah You's forehead, pinched his face, nodded, and said:

"Finally, I can see clearly."

Lin Lin Shu You: "Brother Bin, with these glasses on, you really have the feeling of being a cadre."

Tan Tan Wenbin rubbed his ears: "If it weren't so troublesome, I'd want to get a hearing aid too."

"Brother Bin, is your problem that serious now?"

"When I first woke up, I just felt my senses had returned to their previous level; now I find that's not the case—they are regressing very quickly, already below the level of a normal person."

Tan Tan Wenbin lay on the bed, took off the frames and placed them on the nightstand, reaching out to rub his brow.

Lin Lin Shu You stood up, looked at Tan Tan Wenbin, his expression becoming serious, and asked:

"They actually dare to be so presumptuous?"

In Ah You's view, the oath they made together was very benevolent; for them to dare to rebel after such a short time was simply too outrageous.

Tan Tan Wenbin waved his hand indifferently and said:

"It's not a big problem; they aren't rebelling, they're just a bit overstuffed right now and are waiting for a whipping to digest."

"Brother Bin, you're actually still speaking up for them."

"A new stage naturally requires new coordination. Mainly, your Brother Bin doesn't have the ability; I can only give dates but can't afford the big stick."

"Brother Bin..."

"Alright, I told you not to go comfort Lu Runsheng, so you're using all your energy on me, huh?"

"That's not what I meant."

"I'm going to sleep; go chat with your spirit medium."

"I can't sense the spirit medium right now..."

"Hmm?" Tan Tan Wenbin turned over. "Did the spirit medium run away from home?"

Tan Tan Wenbin, whose sensory abilities had declined, could no longer gain insight into the specific situation of his partners as before.

"No, I'm sure the spirit medium is still in my body, but now it's like there are many things between us; I can't find Him, and He can't find me."

"Have you tried to summon the spirit?"

"When Three-Eyes was applying needles to me, he told me not to summon the spirit for the time being."

"Then wait until we go back to talk about it; Brother Xiaoyuan will have a solution. Sleep, get some good rest."

Lin Lin Shu You turned off the light and lay on the bed with his eyes open.

Outside, there was a guesthouse street lamp; Ah You's bed was by the window, and the light happened to shine through and fall onto his quilt.

In the past, the spirit medium needed to be summoned to descend, which didn't matter then, but later, after the spirit medium entered his body, He wouldn't stop chattering; although sometimes it was very annoying, he slowly got used to it. Losing contact all of a sudden really left Ah You feeling empty inside.

At this thought, Lin Lin Shu You tried to call out to the spirit medium in his heart again.

As he called, an inexplicable feeling emerged, somewhat familiar yet somewhat strange.

The next moment,

The quilt on Lin Lin Shu You's body floated up, the Ghost Marshal mark appeared on his brow, his face was filled with black and cyan colors, and many ghost faces appeared on his arms and thighs; sobbing and shrill screams were emitted, mixed with the sound of drums.

Tan Tan Wenbin, who had already fallen asleep, opened his eyes in a daze, and after seeing this scene, asked:

"Ah You, are you filming a ghost movie instead of sleeping?"

"Snap!"

The floating quilt fell, the special changes on Lin Lin Shu You's body disappeared, and immediately after, snoring sounds came.

Tan Tan Wenbin sighed, got out of bed, walked over to tuck the quilt in for Lin Lin Shu You, then went to the bathroom to use the toilet; after washing his hands, he leaned his body against the wall beside him and pulled out a cigarette to light it.

In the hazy smoke, four figures appeared in the mirror above the sink: a snake, an ox, a monkey, and a centipede.

The snake was the quietest, just coiled there, with no movement.

The ox's nose was held high, the centipede stood up with its long body, and its antennae were flamboyant.

The monkey was jumping up and down, its emotions somewhat agitated, as if it had grown tired of this "prison" and wanted to obtain freedom outside.

Actually, Tan Tan Wenbin's relationship with them was originally very good.

During the three sticks of incense, when facing the possessed tomb owner, these four worked together to protect him, which allowed him to become the first person to wake up.

But in interpersonal relationships, being able to share hardships doesn't mean being able to share wealth.

In the past, among the four spirit beasts, except for Deng Chen, the other three were in very poor condition and needed to rely on Tan Tan Wenbin to recover; now, this time, they not only recovered their strength but also went a step further.

In the past, in their eyes, it was Tan Tan Wenbin letting them hitch a ride, providing them with opportunities and helping them; now, the perspective had changed to Tan Tan Wenbin enslaving them.

The green ox and the white centipede wanted to obtain a higher status, and the Five-Sense Diagram should have been equal; as for the monkey, it simply wanted to divide the luggage and leave.

Tan Tan Wenbin just watched them make a scene while smoking, not only not getting angry but even being too lazy to make any response.

The cigarette was finished; he pinched the butt and walked out of the bathroom, preparing to continue sleeping.

He vaguely heard the sound of a door opening opposite; it was Lu Runsheng's room.

Lu Runsheng had returned.

The Yellow River shovel, which had been repaired and wiped clean, was placed on the bed; Lu Runsheng lay on it, his right hand resting on the handle, closed his eyes, and fell asleep very quickly.

He was like this before, and he was the same now; in the whole team, it seemed that only he never had anything on his mind.

A Gu insect flew out from Lu Runsheng's clothes and drifted down onto Lu Runsheng's chest.

The extreme weather that had lasted for days in Fengdu finally passed, and today the sky was clear for ten thousand miles.

Zhang Chi sat in his wheelchair, watching his sister pack the last bit of things in the shop into a snake-skin bag.

After tying the knot, Xiuxiu straightened her waist, wiping sweat and breathing a sigh of relief.

"Brother, I've called a car; it should be here in a while."

"I don't even know when they'll come to collect the shop; why are you in such a hurry?"

"When they come is their business; since we've signed the contract and taken the medicine, it's better to clear out the shop early."

Zhang Chi didn't argue anymore, but reached out and touched the counter in front of him with some reluctance.

"Xiuxiu, Brother likes this counter."

"Then I'll find a carpenter to build another one for you according to this style."

"You don't understand, it's not the same; a new counter doesn't have this flavor. This one has been nourished by Yin Qi; beside it, walking the Yin path is more effortless."

"Brother, this counter was left behind by the previous coffin shop owner; since we are returning it to them, we must leave it for them."

"Can't we..."

"Brother!" Zhang Xiuxiu raised her volume. "They actually aren't that easy to talk to, really."

Zhang Chi shrank his neck; ever since the incident that night, he could clearly feel that his sister didn't respect him as much as she used to.

Zhao Yi's figure appeared at the door: "Yo, all packed up, right?"

"Yes, all packed up; after I transport the goods here, I'll clean the place again. Don't worry, Brother Yi."

Xiuxiu poured a cup of tea and walked toward Zhao Yi.

"Brother Yi, have some tea."

Xiuxiu wanted to get closer, but soon, she stopped her steps.

Behind Zhao Yi appeared two girls with outstanding looks and extraordinary temperament, and what's more, they were twins.

Xiuxiu was stunned; she felt she seemed to have seen these two girls, but didn't remember when.

They had indeed met, on the night they discussed the contract, but at that time, the sisters not only had extremely heavy injuries but were also "old and withered" due to the loss of lifespan, which was a world of difference from their current fresh and beautiful image.

Liang Yan reached out to take the cup and took a sip: "Just thirsty."

Liang Li looked at Xiuxiu with a scrutinizing gaze, the corners of her mouth slightly mocking and provocative.

They were all women; how could they not know what the other meant?

Zhao Yi reached out, smoothed the corners of Liang Li's mouth, and reminded her:

"Don't smile like that; it looks mean."

Immediately after, Zhao Yi said to the Zhang siblings:

"I've called a car for you; it's outside. Now move all your things up, and then I'll go to the street office with you to handle the procedures."

After Zhao Yi left, only the Liang sisters were left in the shop.

Liang Yan rolled up her sleeves, picked up a broom, and began to sweep the floor.

Liang Li: "Sister, when did you become so virtuous?"

Liang Yan: "Set off by you."

Liang Li: "Is it worth it? Just for a man, you're turning your back on your own sister?"

Liang Yan: "Then you show some style and let him to me."

Liang Li: "Hmph, dream on."

Liang Yan: "Then get to work."

Liang Li pouted, picked up a rag, squeezed it dry after washing, and began to wipe the counter.

While wiping, Liang Li's hand paused slightly, and she said:

"Sister, stop struggling; you can't compete with me, I'm younger than you."

Liang Yan dumped the dustpan into the trash can outside, knocked on it with the broom, and responded unhappily:

"Did you get water in your brain? We are twins."

The procedures at the street office went very smoothly, but after seeing the name "Yin Meng," the middle-aged man in charge rubbed his balding head and asked suspiciously:

"This name..."

The middle-aged man took out the authorization letter and confirmed:

"It really is the little sister of the Yin family."

Zhao Yi: "Yes."

The middle-aged man looked up at Zhao Yi and asked: "What is your relationship?"

Zhao Yi: "Friends."

The middle-aged man: "Oh, the little sister is dating."

Ever since the old man of the Yin family got sick and became almost a vegetable, the Yin family coffin shop was supported by Yin Meng alone; the shops on Ghost Street were all under the street's name, considered public property in the past. Therefore, after knowing the Yin family's special situation, they would appropriately provide some care in all aspects.

Upon learning that the old man of the Yin family had passed away, the people in the street also breathed a sigh of relief for the little sister of the Yin family.

Later, Yin Meng came to the street office to return the lease, saying she was going to some place on the eastern coast; he forgot the place name, and it wasn't easy to remember.

Now it seems, she must have made it.

The middle-aged man carefully sized up Zhao Yi; clearly wearing cheap fakes bought on Ghost Street, but they didn't look fake at all on Zhao Yi, and even the gold watch on his wrist was reflecting light.

It seems the little sister of the Yin family has found a friend with very good conditions.

Zhao Yi could "see" the middle-aged man's thoughts clearly; he could only say, it's fortunate that Lu Runsheng accompanied Xiaoyuan to survey and didn't come.

After handling the procedures, they walked out.

Xiuxiu took the initiative to speak: "Brother Yi, to repay your life-saving grace to my brother and me, can we invite you to a meal? Find a small restaurant, and I'll go to the kitchen to cook myself; my skills are very good."

"No need, our causal relationship is settled; from now on, we are strangers. Take care of yourselves."

Zhao Yi left directly without looking back.

Young Master Zhao's mouth was very good at deceiving women, but he only deceived women who were useful to him.

Zhang Chi, sitting in his wheelchair, spoke for no reason:

"What kind of beautiful dream are you having? Wanting to fly onto a branch and become a phoenix?"

Zhang Xiuxiu had her back to her brother, a look of disgust appearing in her eyes.

For the first time in her life, she spoke to her brother in a mocking tone:

"Brother, if you weren't holding me back, maybe there would have been hope."

"I hear it; my sister has grown up and treats her brother as a burden."

Zhang Xiuxiu sighed, turned around, grabbed the back of the wheelchair, and pushed her brother toward another direction.

For a long time, neither of the siblings spoke.

When they reached the door of the new shop, Zhang Chi looked relieved: "Xiuxiu, let's live separately."

"Brother, you raised me when I was young; it's impossible for me to let go and not care about you. Teach me those arts of our Zhang family."

"Xiuxiu, Brother didn't teach you before, not to hide them; once you learn these things, there's no turning back."

"I know, but I don't want to turn back anymore. Finding a random man to marry—that worked before, but now, it won't."

"No, you've only seen that man a few times, and you..."

"Yes, so what?"

"Fine, Brother follows you."

Zhao Yi carried the custom-made sign on his shoulder and walked back to the shop door; the inside had been cleaned very cleanly.

The sisters, who had finished their work, were sitting on the threshold eating melon seeds.

After Zhao Yi hung up the new sign, the three stood under it, looking at the five characters "Yin Family Coffin Shop," checking if it was hung crookedly.

Liang Yan: "This shop, will it just be left empty here from now on?"

Liang Li: "The rent is very cheap."

Zhao Yi: "Leave a shop, leave a thought; if one day that person comes out, she might just wander here to revisit the old place."

Liang Yan: "Wander here?"

Liang Li: "Isn't she underground? Can she still come up?"

Zhao Yi: "To the Emperor, isn't the whole of Fengdu His prison? As for underground... you have to give her a reason to come to the surface.

Liang Yan, go buy wood; Liang Li, go purchase a set of tools for making coffins.

After purchasing them, pile them up in this shop."

After assigning tasks to the sisters, Zhao Yi went to a nearby small shop, picked up the receiver, and called Zhang Xinhai.

His mobile phone had been found, but after that night, it was broken, and he hadn't had time to replace it.

Not long after calling, he saw a familiar figure running past him, saying to the boss: "Boss, let me make a call."

After speaking, he clamped the receiver between his side face and shoulder while dialing the number displayed on the pager.

The receiver was taken away and hung back on the phone.

Zhang Xinhai turned his head, looked at Zhao Yi, and was scared into a shiver.

Zhao Yi: "Didn't I tell you to help me find someone who can drive a truck? Why did you come yourself?"

Zhang Xinhai: "I don't feel at ease if someone else comes."

After witnessing the terrifying scene of two people being skewered on a stick with his own eyes that day, Zhang Xinhai went home and had nightmares for several days.

Upon receiving Zhao Yi's call again and learning that he needed someone to drive that truck back to Nantong, Zhang Xinhai was truly embarrassed to ask someone else, fearing he would scare them out of their wits.

Zhao Yi brought Zhang Xinhai to where the truck was parked and handed him the keys.

Zhang Xinhai gripped the keys, first ran to the back of the truck, and after confirming it was empty, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Here, I've marked it for you on the map; drive the car to this town in Zhoushan." Zhao Yi took out a stack of money and handed it over. "This is the fee."

Zhang Xinhai shook his head repeatedly: "No, I don't want money."

Mainly, he didn't dare to take it.

Zhao Yi: "Really don't want money? How about this, I'll double it for you."

Zhang Xinhai: "No need, I'm not short of this bit of money; I'm a small boss after all, aren't I?"

Zhao Yi asked again with a hint of playfulness: "Really don't want it?"

Zhang Xinhai was very firm: "Don't want it!"

Zhao Yi nodded: "You know how to do business."

Zhang Xinhai: "What kind of business is this now?"

Zhao Yi: "Then what big business do you want to do in the future?"

Zhang Xinhai said somewhat embarrassedly: "Hehe, I want to build cars."

"Fine, then keep it up."

"Just kidding, let you laugh at me."

"Who knows about the future." Zhao Yi pressed his face in front of Zhang Xinhai and said eerily, "Just like, I never expected you would dare to come yourself."

Zhang Xinhai was scared into retreating repeatedly, his back sticking to the car.

"Haha, alright, be careful on the road, drive slowly."

After watching Zhang Xinhai drive the truck away, Zhao Yi found a small teahouse nearby, peeling peanuts and drinking tea, and took a nap in the bright sunshine.

After waking up, seeing someone walking through, "ding-ding-ding" tapping with tools, Zhao Yi called one over to pick his ears.

After picking, Zhao Yi took a small pill the size of a mung bean from his pocket, crushed it with his fingertips and threw it into the teacup, then poured some tea into his left and right ears.

This ear-picking was comfortable, but if done too often, it was easy to get otitis media.

Returning to the coffin shop, the Liang sisters had already finished their work, and the shop was piled full of materials.

Zhao Yi: "Piled so full, you should at least clear out the workbench for them."

Liang Yan: "Should we hire someone to watch the shop?"

Liang Li: "It's piled a bit too much; I'm afraid someone will come to steal."

Zhao Yi shook his head: "No need."

For the new shop opening, firecrackers, flower baskets, and the like wouldn't be done; after all, the shop owner herself was still in the Underworld.

However, Zhao Yi still went through the basic process for Yin Meng; a small offering table was set up in the corner, and a God of Wealth was pasted on the wall.

Liang Yan and Liang Li looked at each other; both sisters felt that pasting this in this shop seemed a bit inappropriate.

In fact, what they had prepared earlier was a portrait of the Emperor of Fengdu, which was very easy to buy in Fengdu, but Zhao Yi insisted that business matters should be managed by the God of Wealth.

After the incense burned out, Zhao Yi ordered the sisters to close the shop door and put on a lock; the key was casually thrown by Zhao Yi onto the roof of the shop.

Zhao Yi: "Alright, let's go back."

Liang Yan: "Are we going back to Jiujiang?"

Zhao Yi: "I have to go back to Nantong with Li first; you go back to Jiujiang first." Liang Li: "We'll go with you."

Zhao Yi: "The old home is counting on you to collect the body and hold the funeral; handle Sun Yan's funeral decently, and help me pass on a word—when I return from Nantong, I'll go visit her grave."

Actually, collecting the body wasn't the most important thing; people were dead, and more rituals didn't have much meaning, but there were still two living people at home, and the phone still couldn't get through, so someone had to be sent back personally to tell them this wave had ended.

"Oh, by the way, this is the formation layout of our old lair; take it and look at it. After you go back, don't think about calling them to open the door; they absolutely won't open it. You break the formation yourselves, then beat the two of them up and step on them; only then will they be convinced you are real."

Ghost Street, Coffin Shop.

The God of Wealth portrait on the wall drifted off leisurely, fell to the ground, began to turn black rapidly, and finally turned into a pool of ash.

"Brother Liangliang, the data has been summarized."

Li Li Zhuiyuan handed the form to Xue Liangliang.

Xue Liangliang compared them while flipping through: "Although the first survey team had an accident, the data they provided is correct."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Yes."

On the way back to the guesthouse by car, he saw various slogans already written on the walls along the way.

Actually, mobilization and resettlement work had long since begun, and now, it had officially entered the fast lane.

The cold numbers on the project plan, when falling here, were living people and real families and clans.

Li Li Zhuiyuan suddenly felt, isn't this another kind of art?

It's just that not everyone can learn this art, and even fewer can use it; anyway, even for him, he didn't have the confidence to learn it, and in his heart, there was a kind of awe he didn't dare to touch.

After all, even the Emperor only acted by borrowing the momentum and didn't block it in the slightest, even if it was His own dojo that was being flooded.

When returning to the guesthouse, he saw many familiar faces sitting on a bus at the entrance.

Old Zhai, surrounded by a crowd, was saying his goodbyes; he was about to leave.

Xue Liangliang and Li Li Zhuiyuan got out of the car to greet him; Old Zhai patted Xue Liangliang on the shoulder and then affectionately hugged Li Li Zhuiyuan.

"Old Zhai, have a safe trip, goodbye."

"We will meet again, Xiaoyuan."

Hearing this, Li Li Zhuiyuan immediately raised his head to look at Xue Liangliang.

Xue Liangliang's face flushed slightly, and he looked away, as if he had just arrived in Fengdu and was admiring the beautiful scenery here.

Old Zhai had already agreed to teach at Haihe University; such a giant in the industry didn't need to bear specific teaching tasks at all, and occasionally giving a public lecture was enough for the students to benefit from. Of course, a major reason why Old Zhai agreed was that Xue Liangliang had sold Xiaoyuan out.

After seeing Old Zhai off, Xue Liangliang took Li Li Zhuiyuan to Luo Gong's room; Luo Gong was also leaving tonight, and Xue Liangliang would accompany him.

After the meeting ended, most people returned to their posts, and Luo Gong was alone in his room.

When Li Li Zhuiyuan entered, he saw Luo Gong looking at a project plan; the project location was in the Western Regions.

Luo Gong patted the document in his hand and said to Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Xiaoyuan, why don't you not go back and go to the Western Regions with us."

As he spoke, Luo Gong gently patted his thigh and sighed:

"The Western Regions, the people are beautiful and the scenery is beautiful; many places are as beautiful as a fairy-tale world."

Xue Liangliang spoke: "Teacher, Xiaoyuan has to go back to school to take his final exams."

Hearing this, Luo Gong smiled: "Then I'll make a call..."

Xue Liangliang: "Teacher, I don't think it's appropriate to engage in such special treatment."

Luo Gong nodded: "Hmm."

Actually, Li Li Zhuiyuan had never participated in things like final exams; he had already engaged in special treatment a long time ago.

However, Luo Gong certainly wasn't clear about the specific operations here; for such small matters, naturally, whatever Xue Liangliang said was what it was.

Xue Liangliang wasn't intentionally "deceiving his superiors and subordinates," but he knew Xiaoyuan had reasons he had to go back.

Luo Gong: "Xiaoyuan, I'm not worried about you; you bring a word for me to that Lin Tan Wenbin and Tan Lin Shu You.

Just say, I told them to study hard for the exams, and after they do well, they can get a scholarship next semester."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Teacher, forget about the scholarship; after all, we aren't at school most of the time."

Luo Gong: "Isn't the purpose of learning at school to better carry out work in the future? You are already interning, and I have also read your internship reports; the feedback from local units made me feel they were deliberately flattering me, but then I thought it wasn't right—this flattery couldn't be so blatant, which means you really did a very good job."

Li Li Zhuiyuan and the others' internships were always about dealing with special events; after solving those events, the local units were naturally very grateful.

Of course, this was also because Xue Liangliang chose well.

He wouldn't assign ordinary work to Li Li Zhuiyuan, although Xue Liangliang himself wasn't clear about this point.

Luo Gong: "So, take what you should take; don't be embarrassed, it's what you deserve."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Okay, Teacher."

Xue Liangliang: "Xiaoyuan, do well on the exams."

Xue Liangliang gave Li Li Zhuiyuan a wink, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly; besides the scholarships issued by the public, he, Xue Liangliang, had also set up his own scholarship, and at that time, he could personally issue the award to Xiaoyuan.

Well, if Xiaoyuan wasn't at the Jin Ling school at that time, he could also personally go to Nantong.

Leaving Luo Gong's room, Li Li Zhuiyuan came to Tan Tan Wenbin and Lin Lin Shu You's room.

Tan Tan Wenbin was looking in the mirror in the bathroom, while Lin Lin Shu You was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed, his lips slightly murmuring.

"Brother Xiaoyuan." Tan Tan Wenbin walked out of the bathroom.

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Are they bothering you?"

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Not bothering, Deng Chen is very obedient."

At this time, the black and cyan colors appeared on Lin Lin Shu You's face again, and the mark on his brow began to circulate.

Li Li Zhuiyuan's gaze condensed, and he said in a deep voice:

"Presumptuous!"

In an instant, the black and cyan colors dissipated, and the mark on his brow receded.

The aura of the Ghost Marshal, in front of the youth today, was completely insufficient.

Lin Lin Shu You opened his eyes and explained in a panic: "Brother Xiaoyuan, I wasn't summoning the spirit."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "With your current level as a spirit medium, summoning the spirit can completely ignore form and be triggered by intention."

Lin Lin Shu You: "Oh..."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Don't think about the spirit medium recently; if He senses your longing, He will also become restless, and then you will both be very uncomfortable."

Lin Lin Shu You: "So that's how it is."

Ah You now had an extra identity as a Ghost Marshal; this was forcibly bestowed by the Emperor, which was equivalent to covering up the True Lord identity, and the spirit medium was also sealed down.

If they used their own strength to forcibly break the seal, it could very likely lead to Lin Lin Shu You's body exploding, the spirit medium's soul flying away, and a collective self-destruction.

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "By the way, Luo Gong requires you to go back for final exams, aiming for the scholarship."

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Uh..."

Lin Lin Shu You: "What!"

Tan Tan Wenbin only remembered at this time that he seemed to be a class monitor.

But he felt that the class should have re-elected a new monitor; they couldn't keep that position empty forever.

Lin Lin Shu You looked at the double maces hanging on his backpack; having held these maces for so long, and then going to hold a pen, he always felt very unaccustomed.

After Li Li Zhuiyuan left, Lin Lin Shu You sat dejectedly on the edge of the bed:

"Brother Bin, we still have to review our lessons?"

"Just fill in the questions and don't leave them blank; the teachers will give us face and won't let you fail."

Hearing this, Lin Lin Shu You breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Hoo... that's good."

Tan Tan Wenbin: "But if you want to get a scholarship, your grades can't be too ugly; even without counting the internship points, your exam paper grades have to be among the best."

Lin Lin Shu You: "Isn't this going to be the death of me..."

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Didn't you get in by your own college entrance exam? Could it be that you had the spirit medium help you take the exam during the college entrance exam?"

Lin Lin Shu You "pffted" and said: "If He helped me take the exam, I wouldn't even be able to get into high school."

Perhaps missing the spirit medium again, the black and cyan colors on Lin Lin Shu You's face immediately showed signs of reappearing.

Ah You immediately shook his head frantically, throwing away his longing for the spirit medium.

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Then what are you afraid of in the exam?"

Lin Lin Shu You: "I wasn't afraid when I first took the college entrance exam, and I wasn't afraid last semester, but I've been in college for a long time now, and I feel that I've regressed severely in terms of lessons and learning."

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Don't worry, it's all the same; although we aren't at school, the students at school aren't all studying hard either; most of them are actually enjoying college life, and they will only regress more severely than you."

Li Li Zhuiyuan pushed open the door to Lu Runsheng's room.

Lu Runsheng was sitting at the table, and on the table was a small plate with a piece of meat jerky, and the Gu insect was having a meal.

Yin Meng didn't come back, but this Gu insect did.

"Brother Lu Runsheng, we're going back tomorrow."

"Okay."

Li Li Zhuiyuan intended to close the door and leave.

"Xiaoyuan."

"Hmm?"

"How deep is the eighteenth level of hell?"

"Mengmeng isn't locked down below, but at the very top."

"Then if we want to pick her up, can we go directly to the very top?"

"They probably won't give us that convenience; in all likelihood, they really will make us walk from the very bottom."

"That road will be very long, right?"

"Brother Lu Runsheng, when we go to pick up Mengmeng, we'll just take the tricycle from home."

Lu Runsheng smiled.

This was what he had once said to Xiaoyuan; at that time, he picked up and dropped off Xiaoyuan to high school every day, and even said that he would accompany Xiaoyuan to college in the future.

At that time, Lu Runsheng didn't know how far Nantong was from Jin Ling; he only knew:

Any place that can be reached by pedaling a tricycle is not far.

Chen Xu and Li Li Zhuiyuan and the others took a car together to Shancheng, and then boarded a plane back to Nantong at Shancheng Airport.

Xue Liangliang was right; Chen Xu was indeed a person who feared loneliness. He liked to chat, so Li Li Zhuiyuan arranged for him to sit with Tan Tan Wenbin.

As for Li Li Zhuiyuan, Zhao Yi sat beside him.

Compared to Chen Xu, who had agreed to go together beforehand, Zhao Yi looked more like the one who had squeezed in.

Zhao Yi: "Didn't I miss Old Tian?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Not to the point of not even returning to the lair, right?"

Zhao Yi: "Brother Xiaoyuan~"

Li Li Zhuiyuan closed his eyes, preparing to sleep on the plane.

Zhao Yi: "I know you'll help them solve their problems when you go back this time; one more doesn't hurt, just help me deal with mine too."

Li Li Zhuiyuan seemed to be asleep.

Lin Lin Shu You took the meal from the flight attendant and handed it to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi took it and bowed solemnly to Lin Lin Shu You:

"Many thanks, Brother Lin!"

Lin Lin Shu You was stunned for a moment, then said: "This is eight-treasure porridge; you grab this pull-ring and pull it out, and you can open it."

Zhao Yi did as he was told and successfully opened the eight-treasure porridge, exclaiming:

"I never thought such a hard object would have such a simple way to open."

"That, the spoon is under this lid; you have to dig it out first, then open it."

"So that's how it is; this spoon can be folded, quite exquisite."

"Hehe."

"May I ask Brother Lin, are we in the sky now? Is the white below the window the white clouds?"

"Yes, that's right; we are inside an airplane now."

"Flying chicken? Is there really something like the Kunpeng in this world?"

"This is a kind of machine..."

Lin Lin Shu You was patiently explaining when the flight attendant pushed the beverage cart over; seeing Li Li Zhuiyuan sleeping, she asked Zhao Yi:

"Sir, what would you like to drink?"

"Jianlibao, please."

"Okay, sir."

Lin Lin Shu You stopped the popular science about the airplane and stared blankly at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi opened the Jianlibao and took a sip, shook the bottle at Lin Lin Shu You, and said:

"Isn't this to keep you from being bored."

After getting off the plane, at the airport entrance, Chen Xu said goodbye to everyone.

What he was most reluctant to part with was Tan Tan Wenbin.

In his life, he had never chatted so happily; when the plane landed safely on time, he even felt a bit of regret, thinking why there wasn't a typhoon to make the plane stop temporarily at a midway airport.

Chen Xu: "Brother Tan, I have to be sent to work on the Tibetan Plateau for a period of time next.

When I come back, I'll contact you immediately; you come to Suzhou to find me and play, and I'll take you to visit the gardens and listen to Pingtan."

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Then don't leave today; I'll take you to listen to our Nantong spirit medium opera first; I guarantee you won't be able to sleep tonight after listening."

Chen Xu: "Is it that good?"

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Yes, you'll have a headache and won't be able to sleep."

Chen Xu: "Hahaha! Anyway, there will definitely be many opportunities in the future; I've received inside information that our Suzhou will build an airport soon, and more than one.

When you come back from business trips, land in Suzhou first, and I'll host you."

"Definitely, definitely!"

Chen Xu left by car.

Zhao Yi: "Brother Xiaoyuan, shall we take a taxi too?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "No need, we have a car to pick us up."

At this time, Zhao Yi saw Qin Shu walking over, followed by Xiong Shan.

Because Xiong Shan was very close to Qin Shu, Zhao Yi not only failed to detect Qin Shu in advance but also failed to perceive Xiong Shan.

When Qin Shu walked closer, Zhao Yi instinctively shrank his neck and instantly became obedient.

There was no way; the psychological trauma Qin Shu left him that night was truly too deep.

Qin Shu: "Xiaoyuan, your Great-Grandfather asked us to pick you up."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Great-Grandfather's fever hasn't gone away yet?"

Qin Shu: "The cold and fever are gone, but your Great-Grandfather slipped and fell on the second-floor terrace the night before last while relieving himself, cracking his tailbone; he can't get out of bed for the time being."

Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded; once he went back and returned the good fortune to Great-Grandfather, everything would be fine.

Everyone got on the tricycle and started the journey home.

On the way, Li Li Zhuiyuan asked Qin Shu: "Qin Shu, you can drive, right?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan remembered that Qin Shu's motorcycle riding was very fierce.

Qin Shu: "I can."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "The family has added a new car; you can drive it to pick us up in the future."

Qin Shu: "Where is the new car? I'll go get it."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "No need, I'll let Zhao Yi and Brother Brother Binbin and the others go get it and drive it back."

Seeing Qin Shu, Zhao Yi continued to act like a quail; if those people from the Bai family town saw Qin Shu appear on the riverbank again, they would probably be scared into jumping out of their coffins collectively.

After returning home, Zhao Yi continued to act obediently, first greeting Auntie Liu, then going specifically to kowtow and pay respects to the old lady.

Then he ran down the dam in a flash to find Old Tian at Big Beard's house.

Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't see Ah Li; after glancing at the east room with the door tightly closed, he didn't delay and went up to the second floor first.

From far away, Li Li Zhuiyuan heard Great-Grandfather's "humming" sound; it was from pain.

"Great-Grandfather!"

As soon as the youth's voice rang out, the humming sound in the room disappeared.

When Li Li Zhuiyuan pushed the door and entered, Great-Grandfather was lighting a cigarette with a match; as soon as it was lit, he flicked his hand very gracefully, flicking the extinguished matchstick away.

However, Great-Grandfather was lying on his stomach on the bed, and the whole person had changed from the ruddy complexion of the past to haggard and unbearable, which was something that couldn't be concealed no matter what.

The current Li Sanjiang really began to look like a rural old man of his age.

Li Li Zhuiyuan knew that this wave of his had been spinning between two "gods," and there wasn't much room for maneuver; sometimes he really had to rely on luck to support himself, and every time he needed to gamble on luck, he had succeeded.

The youth walked up, sat on the edge of the bed, and held Li Sanjiang's hand.

"Great-Grandfather, I'm back."

"It's good that you're back; now that you're back, did everyone come back?"

"Mengmeng didn't come back; she stayed in Fengdu."

"What's wrong? Why didn't she come back? Is it because she felt it wasn't happy living here..."

"It's that Mengmeng met a relative in Fengdu, and that relative insisted on keeping her there for a while."

"Relative? How old?"

"Very old, older than you."

"Older than me? Then there shouldn't be much life left."

"Great-Grandfather, I'll add some water to your teacup."

"How are the conditions at Mengmeng's relative's house?"

"Quite good."

"Is there land?"

"Yes, a very large piece of land."

"Is there money?"

"Yes, there are many rooms in the house."

"What about his own children?"

"He doesn't have children anymore; Yin Meng is the only relative left with a blood relationship."

"Oh, then it's no wonder he kept that girl Mengmeng there to stay."

"She won't stay for too long; I will pick Mengmeng back in the future. She still likes Nantong, likes you here, Great-Grandfather. If it weren't for her relative blocking her to death, Mengmeng would have come back with us."

"Actually, there's no need to pick her up deliberately; besides, you're not the one who should go."

"Hmm?"

"Let Lu Runsheng go, and become a live-in son-in-law."
