Chapter 300

The afternoon slanting sun was blown into the room through the window, draping over the shoulders of the boy and girl by the bed.

The girl's hand was held by the boy with one hand, while the boy's other hand gently shook off medicinal powder, letting it evenly cover the wound on the girl's palm.

When applying the medicine, Li Zhuiyuan was very careful. Although he knew A Li wouldn't frown because of this kind of pain, he would feel heartache.

Even though he had just experienced the feeling of his whole person almost being melted a while ago, he could endure the pain that fell on himself, and he could treat it as nothing afterward.

After bandaging, the young man tied an exquisite knot on the back of the girl's hand.

The girl placed the back of her hand in front of her, examining it carefully.

"Don't keep this as a collection. When changing the medicine, whether it's me changing it or Liu Yi changing it, you must agree to let it be unwrapped."

The girl nodded.

The door to the east room was pushed open, and Li Zhuiyuan and A Li walked out.

Liu Yumei half-squinted her eyes, enjoying the wind that had faded the scorching heat in the countryside at this moment.

When A Li suddenly hid in the room today, Liu Yumei wasn't panicked at all. She knew Xiao Yuan would surely be able to bring her granddaughter out again.

Back then, when she herself was in seclusion in a secret realm of the Liu family to gain enlightenment, that old dog directly snorted and broke in, covered in blood, holding a breath, and came before her, just grinning, and then fell down headfirst.

As if he had tried his old life, just to see himself once, so he could bump into porcelain.

Young people just play delicately and with many tricks, but if you really want to talk about playing openly and playing big, you have to look at the older generation.

Li Weihan came riding that bicycle, and Li Zhuiyuan greeted him.

"Grandpa."

"Xiao Yuan Hou, you're back?"

"Hmm, I'm back."

"Is it hard outside?"

"Not hard."

"How is your Great-Grandfather's health?"

"Still okay."

"I'll go upstairs to see your Great-Grandfather."

"Grandpa, Great-Grandfather just fell asleep."

"Oh. That, didn't a small acrobatics troupe come to our village a while ago? It seems they are staying at your Great-Grandfather's place. There is a young man inside who looks very handsome. You know him, right?"

"I know him. Grandpa, what do you want with him?"

"Ying Hou got sick today, and he needled her well. When I wanted to thank him, I found he was gone. I asked your grandma to go to town to cut some meat. I want to invite him to have a meal at home tonight. Where is he? You accompany me to invite him. Xiao Yuan Hou, you also eat at home tonight and gather."

"Grandpa, you go back first, I'll go help you bring the message."

"Are you sure you can invite him?"

"I can."

"Good."

Li Weihan rode his bicycle back.

Lin Shu You had just finished showering by the well and was walking toward here while wiping his head:

"Xiao Yuan Ge, I'll go help you notify Three-Eyes."

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Lin Shu You and asked: "Do you know where he is?"

"Uh, where else could he be? Shouldn't he have gone to the bearded man's house to see Old Man Tian?"

"He won't go."

"Ah? Then where could he have run off to..."

"If he went, the outcome would be very miserable."

"Then..." Lin Shu You continued to wipe his hair vigorously; he didn't understand.

"I'll go to the bearded man's house to see."

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the kitchen door and said to Liu Yi, who was busy inside: "Liu Yi, help me prepare some things; I'll take them to Grandpa and Grandma's house."

"Okay."

Liu Yi wiped her hands on her apron, then like a general, began to point out the items.

A basket of freshly pickled salted duck eggs, a bag of meat balls fried yesterday, and a strip of smoked bacon.

Considering that the locals weren't used to the smoked flavor, Liu Yi swapped the bacon for fish paste made just today.

Every time before Li Zhuiyuan and the others were about to return, Liu Yi would prepare the dishes in advance, similar to an ordinary family preparing a big banquet, primarily because the appetites of Runsheng and the others were too astonishing.

If they went to the mall to buy bottles and jars to send over, Grandpa and Grandma wouldn't open them to eat, but would keep them and then take them to give as gifts.

Although these duck eggs and meat balls would eventually enter the mouths of the brothers and sisters, Grandpa and Grandma could also eat a bite.

Li Sanjiang had told Li Zhuiyuan, don't think about changing a person, especially one who is getting on in years. After fulfilling your own responsibilities, just let them be.

In fact, the one who couldn't see through it was Li Sanjiang, and the one who scolded that old couple the most was also Li Sanjiang. Li Zhuiyuan... had always seen through it very clearly.

"Liu Yi, estimate the price of these things and settle it with Brother Binbin."

"Hmm?"

"My Great-Grandfather doesn't like sending things to my Grandpa and Grandma's house. I'm doing this for convenience."

"Okay, got it."

Lin Shu You: "Hey, where is Brother Bin? I haven't seen him since he came back."

Liu Yi: "Zhuangzhuang is reading and reviewing his homework in the workshop in the back. I just went to send him some muskmelon."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu You immediately ran toward the back of the house, shouting while running:

"Brother Bin, you're secretly studying and didn't call me!"

The two large baskets of things were very heavy. Li Zhuiyuan lifted them steadily, and A Li also carried two small tool baskets, accompanying the young man as they walked down the dam.

As soon as they arrived at the bearded man's house, Xiao Yingying walked over, reaching out to take the baskets in the young man's hands.

"These are what I'm taking away."

Xiao Yingying nodded and turned to leave.

Li Zhuiyuan put down the baskets and walked to Old Man Tian's side.

Benben, who was pretending to sleep, secretly opened his eyes at this moment. After seeing that the person who came was Li Zhuiyuan, he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to sleep again.

Old Man Tian's gaze carried anxious pleas for help, not to save himself, but to ask the young man to save his young master.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't make a move to help Old Man Tian undo the restriction, letting him continue fanning.

Immediately after, the young man and the girl walked down the dam, each holding a small shovel, and began to tidy up the medicinal garden.

The medicinal seeds planted before going out last time were growing well. Primarily, this place was truly a "blessed land of caves." The rapidly forming medicinal materials gave people a sense of full accomplishment.

While planting, peach blossoms drifted in.

"A Li, I'll go in for a bit."

A Li nodded and continued to focus on the medicinal seedlings in front of her.

Li Zhuiyuan put down the shovel, reached out to catch two peach blossoms, and rubbed them. The moisture in the petals was exceptionally sufficient, equivalent to washing his hands.

Immediately, the young man walked into the peach forest.

There was no obstruction, the path was smooth. Soon, Li Zhuiyuan heard that desperate soul-piercing scream.

The body was exhausted, the sound was like a mosquito, but the wailing and whipping from the soul became increasingly clear.

Arriving by the small pool, Li Zhuiyuan saw Zhao Yi, who had been hung there and whipped into an unrecognizable shape.

Young Master Zhao surely hadn't expected that on the first day of returning to Nantong, he would be subjected to such enthusiastic hospitality.

Qing An was painting. Li Zhuiyuan stood to his side.

He was painting landscapes, following an artistic style. Before completion, it looked like a piece of chaos.

The whip was still lashing continuously. Li Zhuiyuan watched others paint attentively, as if doing skill learning.

After a while, it was Qing An who spoke first:

"He is very arrogant."

Li Zhuiyuan: "He shouldn't be this stupid. Could it be that that face occupied his body and then was attracted here by this peach forest?"

The young man believed in Zhao Yi's IQ. Even if he came happily to see Old Man Tian without noticing for a moment, when he arrived at the bearded man's house, he would surely realize that he couldn't enter at this time.

"Are you here to plead for mercy?"

"You let me in. Besides, if he hadn't treated a sister of mine today, and my Grandpa and Grandma wanted to invite him to have a meal at home, I wouldn't care where he went today."

"Still pleading for mercy."

Qing An put down the paintbrush and tapped on the empty jar beside him with his fingertips.

On the dam outside, Xiao Yingying placed the two jars of wine bought new today on the offering table and lit incense and candles.

The wine jar beside Qing An slowly filled up.

Picking up the wine jar, he looked up and drank several large mouthfuls.

People like them really liked the feeling of drinking half and spilling half when drinking.

"If you were just here to plead for mercy to let him go today, I would hang you up and whip you together."

The wine was full, so there had to be good side dishes for the wine.

Li Zhuiyuan said: "Wei Zhengdao once looked down on the Buddhist sect."

Qing An nodded: "That's right, he thought Sun Baishen was a fool."

Li Zhuiyuan: "This time, the Bodhisattva was dragged into the underworld and suppressed."

Qing An: "Heh heh."

Silence.

Qing An's hand tapped on the edge of the jar mouth: "This time, just perfunctorily dismiss it like this?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Hmm."

Overhead, the peach branches swayed, as if about to hang down and tie the young man up to enjoy the same treatment as Zhao Yi.

Qing An: "I really will take action."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I know."

Hanging up and whipping someone who looked very much like Wei Zhengdao was also a very happy thing for Qing An.

The peach branches wrapped around the young man's wrists and ankles, and one had already slowly climbed onto the young man's neck.

Qing An: "It seems there's truly no harvest this time?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "There is."

Qing An: "Then say it."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I don't want to say it. I'm waiting to take it to exchange for something with you."

Qing An: "You think this guy isn't worth you taking out side dishes to exchange."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's not a question of worth or not, but that it's not needed. I've already seen it."

Qing An: "You are progressing very fast."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Thank you."

Qing An: "But you are clearly not affected by the black-covered book secret technique, why do you still spend effort researching its 'toxicity'?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I wouldn't be affected by this secret technique even if I did nothing in the past, but now, I will be affected by it. It's just that I found a way to solve its 'toxicity'."

Qing An: "Oh?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "This is my pursuit all along. Not being affected by it at all is not what I like. Now being able to be affected by it is instead a form of self-affirmation.

I think, when Wei Zhengdao created this secret technique, at first it was the same as my original idea, thinking it was tailor-made for himself.

Later, he should have also realized that this technique, from a specific aspect, is actually a mockery of people like us.

In some future day of seeking suicide, he should have also longed to be poisoned to death by the 'toxicity' of this technique, even if this process would make life worse than death."

"You mean, Wei Zhengdao once envied my current ghost-like appearance?"

"Back then, I also envied my partners. What I needed to perform was their daily true feelings."

Qing An raised the wine jar.

Li Zhuiyuan continued: "Perhaps, this is also the reason why I chose them to be my partners, to face the wind and waves with me day and night."

"Heh, heh heh, hahahahahaha!"

"Rattle... rattle..."

A jar of wine was just drunk in one breath so wastefully.

With a "Clang," the wine jar was put down.

Qing An brushed up his long sleeves, which had been dampened by the wine, and swept toward the painting in front of him.

Soaked in wine vapor, the originally chaotic painting bloomed completely, the artistic conception profound, vast, and distant.

Qing An: "You said you still have a side dish hidden?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Yes."

Qing An: "But I just drank happily. You are truly like him. Even the few words you made up on the spot can make me happy.

In the eyes of people like you, can people like me be easily manipulated at will, not worth money?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Who would deliberately make that person who isn't worth money happy?"

Upon hearing this, Qing An lowered his head and let out a melancholy sigh.

After a long time, he raised his hand.

Zhao Yi was stopped from being whipped, and the peach branches wrapped around him and lifted him behind Qing An.

With a "squelch," Zhao Yi knelt down, his bloody face pressed against Qing An's palm.

At this time, Zhao Yi's whole person had been whipped until he was soft, especially that soul, which was almost on the verge of dissipation.

"Oh oh oh oh."

A terrifying suction force came, and Zhao Yi let out another soul-piercing wail.

This time, a second voice appeared; it was Su Luo.

Su Luo's face first appeared on Zhao Yi's face, then transferred to his soul, and finally, flowed to Qing An's palm.

What was extracted was not only Su Luo's face, but also the side effect of Zhao Yi using the black-covered book secret technique left by Li Zhuiyuan last time.

Moreover, this side effect was specifically strengthened by the Great Emperor.

Qing An: "How did he anger that person?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "He scolded that person for 'not knowing what's good for you' and also sent that person a pair of rotten dog testicles."

Qing An: "Oh? This kid is actually so brave?"

When following Wei Zhengdao back then, Qing An had seen real big storms and waves, but even so, he was still surprised by the courage of Zhao Yi, with his current strength, to ride on someone's face and insult that person.

Li Zhuiyuan: "He doesn't lack courage."

Qing An: "But if that's the case, he has no possibility of returning here alive."

Li Zhuiyuan: "The main reason is me; he is implicated by me."

Qing An: "He doesn't lose out; he ate until his mouth was oily this time."

After speaking, Qing An flicked his palm, and Su Luo's face was flicked onto a peach tree in front of him.

That face began to squirm, as if it were a bit unaccustomed to this new body.

Qing An reached out and hooked his fingers. The next moment, Su Luo walked out from inside the tree.

At first, he was just an ordinary wooden man. Gradually, he became more and more exquisite, not only restoring the body to the image of the tomb owner, but even the skin tone became consistent.

Qing An: "Can you paint?"

Su Luo: "Yes."

"Can you play chess?"

"Yes." "Can you play the zither?"

"Yes."

"Can you drink?"

"No, my alcohol tolerance is shallow, but I like to be drunk."

Qing An's fingers tapped on Zhao Yi's face.

Zhao Yi's whole body shook along with it, like a piece of meat jelly that could trigger tremors all over when tapped with a spoon.

"Forget the feeling of using that secret technique. I can only help you this time. Physical addiction can be removed, but mental addiction is hard to go. Guess why I have been sealing myself?"

Qing An beckoned, peach blossoms fell, completely covering Zhao Yi.

After the peach blossoms turned into water and dissipated, the bloody mess was gone, and Zhao Yi's whole person returned to normal.

Li Zhuiyuan said to Qing An: "Thank you."

This thank you had to be mentioned.

Because Li Zhuiyuan saw that Qing An only helped Zhao Yi recover on the surface. In fact, such a serious injury hadn't been healed at all; it was just a layer of paper pasted on the surface.

The reason was probably that Li Zhuiyuan mentioned earlier that he was going to take Zhao Yi to have a meal at his Grandpa and Grandma's house tonight.

Qing An waved his hand and said: "The side dish you left, bring it up in a few days. The small cold dish you made casually just now is enough for me to drink several meals."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Hmm, I understand."

The peach forest began to repel them.

Li Zhuiyuan reached out, dragging Zhao Yi, and with the help of the wind blown by the peach forest, walked out of the peach forest very easily.

"Ah~"

Zhao Yi woke up and stood up staggeringly.

"Li fellow, you can't understand what kind of feeling I have now. Not to mention the pain, I now feel like a jellyfish washed ashore. If I stay in the sun for a while longer, I will melt."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I understand, because I was truly melted before."

Zhao Yi: "When?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "In Ghost Street, after you all died."

Zhao Yi: "When you told us, why didn't you mention it?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Minor details, do they need to be mentioned?"

Zhao Yi: "They need to be mentioned. Who knows if you will deliberately leave out some key points, and when you look back, you ask me: 'Why didn't you ask?'"

"You should recuperate well. If I hadn't beaten you like that, Su Luo's face wouldn't have been able to be taken out." Li Zhuiyuan looked at the offering table set up by Xiao Yingying on the dam, "Do you want to go thank him?"

"Actually, I knew he was helping me treat it long ago, and I thanked him, but it was just too painful at the time, so I couldn't help but add some modal particles when thanking him."

"You tidy up, change your clothes, and accompany me to have a meal at my Grandpa and Grandma's house. My Grandpa specifically asked me to invite you."

"Li fellow, if I hadn't happened to treat your cousin or cousin-in-law today, would you not have discovered I was missing tonight?"

"No."

"Then you still have a bit of conscience."

"I wouldn't have discovered it tomorrow night either."

"Hahaha!"

"Young Master, Young Master, Young Master!"

Old Man Tian was released from the restriction, jumped off the dam directly, and rushed toward Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi was seriously injured at this moment and couldn't dodge, so he urged Li Zhuiyuan: "Li fellow, quick, help me stop Old Man Tian."

Li Zhuiyuan didn't move.

Old Man Tian hugged Zhao Yi excitedly, and then, the two of them fell into the medicinal field together.

Zhao Yi rolled his eyes in pain.

Old Man Tian asked in surprise: "Young Master, is your illness acting up again?"

Old Man Tian was truly too familiar with this symptom of being weak as if he had no bones.

"Old Man Tian... get down... get down."

"Oh, okay."

Old Man Tian got down immediately.

Li Zhuiyuan: "In the last wave, a curse was left on him. It was just removed, so he's a bit weak now."

Old Man Tian: "So that's how it is. Young Master, I didn't know just now, I'm truly sorry."

Li Zhuiyuan walked to A Li's side. A Li was still meticulously tending to a spiritual herb that looked like a peony.

"After I finish eating at my Grandpa and Grandma's house, I'll come to pick you up to go back together."

A Li nodded.

Li Zhuiyuan knew that if he took her hand, she would go to have a meal at his Grandpa and Grandma's house with him, but A Li didn't like that kind of environment.

Zhao Yi climbed up from the ground and was helped by Old Man Tian into the house to change his clothes.

"Young Master, this watch?"

"If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, Young Master."

"You have injuries on you too."

"Young Master, I don't have big problems, just small injuries."

"Don't be so impulsive next time. If I hadn't died, and came out to find you dead, how boring would that be? I'm still counting on you to continue serving me."

"Young Master, your illness is already cured, and you've grown up, where would you still need me to serve you."

"I won't have children in the future?"

"That should be by the Master and the Lady..."

Zhao Yi's gaze turned cold, saying: "They don't have as much good fortune as you; they won't live longer than you."

Walking to the dam, Zhao Yi saw Li Zhuiyuan and the girl still squatting there, so he said to Old Man Tian: "It's dark, go help light a lamp."

"Young Master, no need to light a lamp..."

Fireflies flew out from the peach forest and gathered beside A Li, helping her illuminate so she could continue to tend to the medicinal garden clearly.

Zhao Yi: "People are ultimately different."

Although Zhao Yi had been whipped severely earlier, when he heard that person under the peach forest say he wanted to hang the Li fellow up and whip him too, what Zhao Yi shouted in his heart was:

"Whip him, hurry up and whip him! If you whip him, I'll take your surname!"

As a result, he seemed to have found a bunch of reasons, but in fact, he just didn't whip him.

Hey, even though the peach branches covered your body, you still didn't hang him up, tsk!

When it was me earlier, how decisive he was, directly lifting me over, and the whip came up, whipping and piercing, without any hesitation.

Saying things like "I am you in the past, you are me in the future," bah, the favoritism is written on the face. You deserve to be deceived by people all the time.

Of course, these thoughts were just muttering in his heart to vent a little. Zhao Yi was still very grateful to that person under the peach forest, especially this time, as he truly helped him solve a big hidden danger.

Li Zhuiyuan walked onto the dam.

Zhao Yi walked to the two baskets and asked: "Shall I help you carry them?"

Li Zhuiyuan nodded.

Zhao Yi: "I'm just being polite. I don't dare to exert force now, afraid the peach skin will burst, and then scare your Grandpa and Grandma."

Li Zhuiyuan bent down, lifted the two baskets, and walked outward.

Zhao Yi followed behind.

Watching the backs of the two leaving, Old Man Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

It's also puzzling. His own young master was originally such a smart and spirited person, but ever since meeting this young man, he has been manipulated and seriously injured time and time again. But every time, as long as that young man says a word, the young master will still follow him tirelessly, as if he is happy to be deceived.

Arriving at Li Weihan's house, Grandpa and Grandma took the initiative to greet them.

Looking at the things Li Zhuiyuan was carrying, Cui Guiying didn't dare to take them, while Li Weihan frowned and said:

"Xiao Yuan Hou, your Great-Grandfather is ill, and we didn't bring any good things to see him. How can we let you take things from his house to give to us?"

"Grandpa, I bought these with my internship salary from Liu Yi at home. How could Great-Grandfather agree to let me take things from home to give to you? He's afraid of feeding a 'white-eyed wolf'."

This was said a bit too honestly and frankly.

Fortunately, Hu Zi and the others were all in the room and didn't come out. There were only four people outside.

Primarily, saying it this way had the best effect. Li Zhuiyuan wanted to skip the stage of pushing back and forth.

Sure enough, Li Weihan and Cui Guiying looked very embarrassed and could only accept the gifts.

Li Weihan: "Our Xiao Yuan Hou has succeeded and has ability."

Cui Guiying: "That's right, the child is filial, just like his mother."

"Pfft..."

Zhao Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Primarily, he didn't dare to tense up, afraid of breaking the skin at the corner of his mouth.

Grandma's words didn't make Li Zhuiyuan feel uncomfortable.

Primarily, his four uncles were a bit too outrageous, setting off Li Lan as exceptionally filial.

The dishes on the table were already set out quite a bit. Cui Guiying continued to cook, with one more dish and one soup.

Zhao Yi began the process, refusing Li Weihan's invitation to sit down and drink first, while continuously saying to Cui Guiying: There are too many dishes, I can't eat anymore with so many dishes, don't cook anymore.

The children all surrounded the table, looking at the dishes on it, looking forward to starting the meal.

Li Zhuiyuan walked into the inner room and saw Ying Zi studying under the desk lamp.

"Xiao Yuan Hou!"

Seeing Li Zhuiyuan, Ying Zi was very happy. She had been too focused just now and didn't know Li Zhuiyuan had come too.

Ying Zi hugged Li Zhuiyuan. At first, she didn't use much force, but later she hugged tighter and tighter.

This was already beyond the scope of a sister and brother.

Probably, any college entrance exam candidate, before entering the exam room, seeing the provincial top scholar appear in front of them, would excitedly hug this walking mascot.

After separating, Li Zhuiyuan saw a large bowl on Ying Zi's desk, with red residue inside.

Locals don't eat chicken blood, because chicken blood easily makes people hot. As for cold-dressed blood, some people in some places view it as a delicacy, while some people are afraid just looking at it.

This should be the folk prescription Zhao Yi gave Ying Zi, and Ying Zi truly finished eating it. For her now, the obsession with the college entrance exam was enough to suppress everything.

Li Zhuiyuan picked up Ying Zi's mock exam paper and looked at it. The grades could only be considered average, belonging to the kind that could get in if lucky and couldn't if unlucky. This was still based on the foundation of Ying Zi putting in more effort than others.

He could review for Tan Wenbin back then because Tan Wenbin could bear pressure, and secondly, his learning ability was actually very strong. But if the same method were used on Ying Zi, she would collapse first because she couldn't see obvious positive feedback.

"You can get in, sister."

Li Zhuiyuan could only relieve some pressure for Ying Zi and exert a mascot effect.

"Hmm, I feel my spirit is very good now. When the exam comes, I can surely charge!"

Ying Zi clenched her fists, as if swearing.

Brother Liangliang had said that future universities would surely expand enrollment, but current college students were still very valuable. Getting into college could truly change a person's destiny intuitively.

The food was all served on the table. Before starting the meal, Li Zhuiyuan first took a bowl, filled it with some dishes, and then placed them in a basket, covering them with an empty bowl to keep warm.

Next, the dining table was very lively.

Zhao Yi gave face, telling his experiences of traveling all over the country. Not only the adults, but even the children listened with relish.

Even Ying Zi, after finishing her meal, didn't rush to get off the table and go back to review like in the past, but listened for a while longer.

Li Zhuiyuan noticed that in Ying Zi's gaze looking at Zhao Yi, there was a hint of admiration.

It was the age of first love. Facing someone who had "saved" her, and this person was very handsome while also being humorous, it was perfectly normal to develop a good impression.

However, in the second half of the meal, Zhao Yi talked about his "four sons" and "two wives" again, surprising Li Weihan and Cui Guiying while also incidentally nipping the girl's budding love in the bud.

After the meal, Li Zhuiyuan carried the basket back to the bearded man's house.

"A Li, time to eat."

After A Li washed her hands, she sat on the ridge of the medicinal field with the young man.

Li Zhuiyuan took the food out of the basket. There was no table, so he held it to make it convenient for the girl to pick up dishes.

The fireflies around kept a just-right distance, maintaining brightness without disturbing.

After eating, Li Zhuiyuan took the girl's hand, returned home, and sent her back to the east room.

In the coffin in the living room, only Runsheng was sleeping, snoring very loudly.

In the coffins of Tan Wenbin and Lin Shu You, there was a faint light.

Both were pretending to sleep, but were actually lighting lamps in the coffins to study.

Going upstairs to the second floor, Li Zhuiyuan saw Great-Grandfather lying on the rattan chair.

"Great-Grandfather?"

"Slept too long during the day, not sleepy now, came out to blow some wind. Xiao Yuan Hou, was Ying Hou ill?"

"Hmm, she's already better."

"I have money in the drawer. Take some, buy her some malted milk or something, to nourish her brain. Don't say it's from me."

"Okay."

The evening wind blew Great-Grandfather's hair. When a person is ill, their hair will appear more messy and weak, like fluffy straw.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't intend to wait to see if he would dream tonight. In front of Great-Grandfather, the young man went downstairs to get paint and candles.

Coming to Great-Grandfather's room, Li Zhuiyuan began to draw the fortune-turning formation.

The young man had the scenes of the formation Great-Grandfather had drawn in his mind, and there were many sets, each set different.

But Li Zhuiyuan didn't select a set from them to replicate, but drew the most standard set in the book.

Judging from Li Zhuiyuan's current formation attainments, this standard formation was wrong from the start. It had underlying structural problems and couldn't operate successfully.

Either the author who transcribed the formation to make the "Golden Sand Luo Wen Scripture" made a mistake when copying, or this fortune-turning formation wanted to operate successfully... it just needed luck.

Just after drawing and lighting the candles, Great-Grandfather walked back slowly while holding his waist. Seeing this scene, Great-Grandfather frowned and asked:

"Xiao Yuan Hou, what are you doing?"

"Great-Grandfather, you haven't been in very good health recently, so I'm learning from you in the past to turn your fortune for you."

"Xiao Yuan Hou, you're a college student, how can you still believe in this feudal superstition?"

"Believe it or not, it's already drawn. Trying it doesn't cost anything."

"Great-Grandfather is someone about to enter the soil. How could I turn the fortune of a child like you? It's unlucky, don't mess around."

"Great-Grandfather, do you still remember how you talked about my Grandpa and Grandma? The filial piety of the younger generation should be accepted happily, letting the younger generation also be happy."

Li Sanjiang was choked. After a long while, he nodded: "Okay, Great-Grandfather will follow you."

"Great-Grandfather, I'll help you sit in first, just like we were back then."

Under Li Zhuiyuan's support, Li Sanjiang slowly sat into the formation, but he couldn't sit firmly; his butt had to stick out a bit.

"Great-Grandfather, you wait a moment, I'll go downstairs to get a piece of yellow paper."

Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the room.

A gratified smile appeared on Li Sanjiang's weak face:

"I know the child's filial piety, but Xiao Yuan Hou, Great-Grandfather just wants you to live well. No matter if it's true or not, if it can succeed or not, Great-Grandfather can't take your things. Great-Grandfather is only afraid that what I can give you isn't enough..."

Saying this, Li Sanjiang deliberately wiped off a corner of the formation with his hand, then picked up the paint placed beside him, smeared it back casually, and finally returned the paint box and paintbrush to their original positions, confirming that the young man wouldn't see any clues when he returned.

After finishing the destruction, Li Sanjiang felt relieved in his heart, and a smile of success appeared on his face:

"Hey, this way it will definitely be useless."

On one side of the room door, Li Zhuiyuan stood with his back against the wall. He didn't go downstairs.

The young man flicked his hand, and an exquisite piece of yellow paper appeared in his hand.

"Hmm, this way it will definitely succeed."
