Chapter 413

~13 min read 2,587 words

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Zhao Yi arrived in Nantong.

That half-cigarette time was Zhao Yi's last bit of restraint.

From the moment he stepped on the cigarette butt on the ground with his sole, Zhao Yi didn't delay for a single second, driving himself at the fastest speed from Lushan to Siyuan Village.

The car drove into the path, stopped, and Zhao Yi got out.

He had very seriously and earnestly told the Li surname before that his previous wave had earned a big sum and he needed a normal rhythm to enjoy and digest it properly; recently, he wasn't willing to get involved in the high-intensity waves of the Li surname again.

As a result, I don't know if sensibility overcame rationality or rationality overcame sensibility, but in short, he came anyway.

Walking onto the dam, he heard movement on the terrace upstairs.

Zhao Yi deliberately stopped.

Li Sanjiang had just finished washing up in the shower room and was carrying a basin back to the room.

Suddenly he saw a person standing on the dam below; looking closely, he recognized him.

"Yi Hou."

"Hey, Grandpa Li!"

"Why are you here?"

"Came to see my god-grandmother, brought some tea leaves; god-grandmother asked me to bring them to Grandma Liu."

"Oh, I see."

"Where are Tan Tan Wenbin and the others, out playing?"

"They had a temporary matter with Little Yuan Hou's project, one notice and they were transferred away; sigh, it happens often."

"Truly hard work."

"That's for sure, but at least they are holding half a public rice bowl, it's expected. Alright, Yi Hou, I'm going to sleep first; if you're not in a hurry to leave tomorrow, come over to eat."

"Alright."

Li Sanjiang returned to the room.

Zhao Yi ended the conversation.

He had already seen the Li surname's "Code of Conduct for Walking the River" ten times recently.

Each time the reading took longer than the last.

Gradually, you will find that your perspective on observing this world, as well as the people and things in this world, have all changed.

Seeing mountains as mountains, seeing water as water.

As an outsider, coming to Grandpa Li's house, you have to complete the conversation with Grandpa Li first.

You have to let Grandpa Li know you're here, otherwise, any out-of-line behavior you have next will easily be affected.

"Creak..."

The door of the east room was opened from the inside, and A Li walked out.

A smile appeared on Zhao Yi's face.

The only one who could use the Li surname's big brother phone to call and not say a word was this girl who couldn't speak.

The appearance of this extreme scene meant that the Li surname there wasn't convenient to contact him.

And the girl and his own Old Tian, although they didn't go out, were still on the river, so it could only be about things on the river.

No need to say the rendezvous destination; defaulting to letting him come to Nantong meant letting him come to take something and then go find the Li surname.

A Li walked towards the back of the house.

Zhao Yi followed.

Although the naked eye couldn't see it, Zhao Yi immediately noticed that this dojo, which he had personally supervised the secondary renovation of, was destroyed.

He didn't know if the Li surname felt heartache, but he, Zhao Yi, was already feeling heartache.

Zhao Yi: "This is using the destroyed dojo as a suppression array?"

Then what exactly is being suppressed under here?

Zhao Yi sat cross-legged and began to break the formation.

The Li surname's formation was naturally not so easy to break, but for him, a supervisor who had once held the full set of design drawings, it wasn't difficult.

While Zhao Yi was breaking the formation, A Li turned and went back to the east room to sleep.

Zhao Yi yawned, which meant that although he didn't know what was being suppressed by the Li surname inside, there was no danger to himself.

The ruined dojo was opened by Zhao Yi with a gap.

Immediately, a roar from the soul level was released, stunning Zhao Yi's consciousness.

When he saw a fierce jiao phantom pouncing towards him, Zhao Yi's eyes widened, and his mouth opened and then quickly bit his back molars.

At this moment, Zhao Yi even suspected:

Li surname, are you specifically letting me come over to show off to me?

Black qi permeated Zhao Yi's whole body; after withstanding the first round of the fierce jiao's impact, the man and the jiao rolled directly into the rice field.

If a passerby happened to pass by at this time, they would see Zhao Yi rolling back and forth in the field in the middle of the night.

Although this fierce jiao had no physical body, its fierce flames had already concentrated to near-materialization.

Just releasing it as a fierce spirit would be enough to ravage a place; not to mention, this fierce jiao was the jiao spirit that used to be in the Li surname's hands, always used by the Li surname as a tool, touching a bit of everything.

And when a tool is suddenly elevated to such a level, the Li surname's work efficiency will also usher in an extremely terrifying improvement.

No, why!

He himself worked hard, repeatedly tearing skin, cutting skin, and stitching, just to make himself and this black jiao skin fuse more thoroughly.

You, the Li surname, actually elevated the jiao spirit to this status without a sound?

I shouldn't have come to Nantong, really, I shouldn't have come, this will make me look very stupid!

Zhao Yi didn't know the Jiao-Refining Method, but he was very familiar with it.

Because his ancestor of the Jiujiang Zhao family, Zhao Wuyang, the last dance of his Long Wang life, was refining a jiao.

It's just that Zhao Wuyang wasn't helping the black jiao improve its status, but literally dismembering the black jiao into pieces to refine it completely.

Zhao Yi knew how difficult it was to force a species like the jiao, which brought its own rejection from Heaven, to improve its status by a large margin and undergo a qualitative change.

That would at least be the volume of the Zhao family of Jiujiang back then, gathering the strength of the whole clan, spending at least a hundred years, and risking the danger of being punished by Heaven, to have a tiny probability of realization.

As a result, the Li surname made it in this small workshop behind the house?

The escaped fierce jiao was full of malice towards Zhao Yi; it wanted to kill Zhao Yi, very, very much.

For a time, Zhao Yi didn't have any too good methods to deal with it; gentle means couldn't suppress it, and violent means might drive it away—if it ran, where would he chase it?

Strictly speaking, this fierce jiao, even if it couldn't sit at the table to eat, at least had the qualification to hold a bowl and stand by the table to pick up food.

Just this, and it was still just a tool in the Li surname's hands, comparable to a wrench.

Li surname, because you can't practice martial arts, you just keep stepping on lame stilts to the sky!

Zhao Yi: "Li Li Zhuiyuan asked me to find you and bring you back to his side."

As soon as the words fell, or to be precise, as soon as the three words "Li Li Zhuiyuan" came out, the fierce jiao quieted down immediately.

Zhao Yi let go, patted the dust off his body, and stood up.

The fierce jiao just floated in front of Zhao Yi, not attacking again.

"Heh..."

Zhao Yi wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

The beast spirit in Tan Tan Wenbin's body had experienced multiple run-ins and punishments, and the child in A You's body had also made trouble in the past, but the Li surname, whether it was the people under him or other things, had never dared to resist him.

Regarding this, Zhao Yi himself had a deep realization.

"Sigh..."

Zhao Yi reached out and touched the virtual horn on the fierce jiao's head.

In the fierce jiao's eyes, there was still a crazy murderous intent towards Zhao Yi, but a more terrifying sense of awe suppressed its instinct back.

"You, you, it's really only me who can send you, can send you silently; come, come in, I'll take you back to the Li surname's side."

Zhao Yi reached out, very familiarly tore open a gap in his chest, and specifically used his thumb and index finger to gesture an "eight" to hold the gap open.

The fierce jiao lowered its head and drilled in.

In an instant, Zhao Yi only felt a strong sense of stimulation rushing straight to his crown.

Jiao skin and jiao spirit are a perfect match.

But soon, Zhao Yi also suppressed the greed in his eyes.

If he dared to covet the Li surname's things, he would have to pray for the Li surname to die suddenly immediately; otherwise, if the Li surname freed his hands, he would definitely come to mess with him with all his might.

No matter how good the thing is, it's meaningless if you don't have the life to use it.

"Li surname, you really aren't human, letting a wolf transport a roasted lamb leg!"

After cursing, Zhao Yi turned and left.

He didn't look at this already destroyed dojo again.

Rebuilding requires a lot of manpower and energy; the last time it was repaired so fast, it was because Chen Da girl opened her domain and worked like a mule down below.

At this moment, where would he have the leisure to stay here and help the Li surname repair the house.

Leave it for now; with the Li surname's style, after he returns home, he will definitely think about calling him, the supervisor, back to rebuild it for him.

Walking back to the dam, the east room door was closed, and the light was off.

Zhao Yi looked left and right, and finally looked at the Li surname's room on the second floor.

He entered the main house, went upstairs, pushed open the screen door, and walked in.

It wasn't that he wanted to trespass deliberately, but if you don't know the address to deliver a package, then deliver a fart!

Zhao Yi's gaze fell on the Li surname's desk.

On the desk, there were many books, and under the desk, there were even more books piled up.

"Glug..."

Zhao Yi swallowed his saliva.

These books, so fragrant.

It wasn't just the evolution of inner desire, but also a physiological sensory reaction.

At this moment, Zhao Yi really wanted to say: How can a scholar's business be called stealing?

But he didn't have time to delay staying here to steal books to read; his time was very tight, even if he rolled up the books to read on the road... heh, he couldn't guarantee that he would return to Siyuan Village to return the books a step earlier than the Li surname after the next wave ended.

Furthermore, the fragrance carried by these books was equivalent to an anti-counterfeiting certification; he couldn't fake a set and put it here to fool anyone at all.

Forget it, forget it; after finishing this job, he would ask the Li surname for some books to read, for example, letting himself enter that mysterious basement and blindly pick two or three sets by luck?

The Li surname is generous; as long as the job is done well, he won't be stingy.

Zhao Yi walked to the desk, touched the cover of the book with his left hand, let out a sigh, and took the pen stuck in the map on the wall with his right hand.

This was the delivery address left specifically for him by the Li surname.

"In Jinan... this place."

Zhao Yi turned around, ready to leave the room and set off immediately.

But just as he reached the screen door, he retreated, retreated to the Li surname's bed, and bent down.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Zhao Yi pulled Benben out from under the bed.

Seeing Zhao Yi, Benben didn't even blame the bad uncle who liked to flick his little bird; as if seeing a true relative, he took the initiative to stretch out his two little fleshy arms, hugged Zhao Yi's neck, and sobbed softly.

Flicking the bird is flicking the bird, it's better than tutoring; tutoring is tutoring, it's better than forgetting even the break time.

Zhao Yi carried Benben back to the bearded man's house.

His people were all here.

Today, Qing An's interest in wine was rich and lasted for a long time; Xiao Yingying was busy setting up the offering table and serving wine, and after Qing An finally drank happily and stopped, Xiao Yingying was also exhausted.

Tonight, she was sitting on the bed in her room, lowering her head, her arms hanging on both sides of her body, and water droplets kept dripping from her body; the tiles under the bed were wet.

This was almost exhausting the resentment of the dead to the point of collapse, so naturally, she had no time to care about other things, such as the child not coming back tonight.

Zhao Yi carried Benben to the second floor; downstairs, he heard the rhythmic sound of "creak creak creak creak."

"Cough... cough..."

Zhao Yi coughed hard in advance.

The sound didn't stop, but instead started to accelerate.

Zhao Yi had to stop and wait for a while at the stairs.

After the high frequency, like an ECG turning into a straight line, it ended.

Zhao Yi went upstairs and walked to the door.

The door was opened, and Xiong Shan stood inside the door.

"Young Master Zhao, you're back?"

"Yeah, just back, about to leave."

"Is there something wrong? Don't worry, you are a guest; if there's anything you need help with, please speak directly."

"There is something. I picked up a child on the side of the road; the police station is off work and there's only a duty officer, so I thought I'd bring him home to take care of him for the night, and you can send him to the police uncle tomorrow morning."

"Okay, no problem, where is the child?"

Zhao Yi handed Benben to Xiong Shan.

Xiong Shan: "..."

Zhao Yi went downstairs.

While going down the steps, he sighed in his heart, you treat children like this, and you still want a second child?

When he reached downstairs, his people were already prepared.

When the car drove away, Old Tian stood at the door of the bearded man's house, waving goodbye to the car.

Zhao Yi stretched his hand out and waved too.

Chen Jing was very excited: "Brother Yi, are we going to meet up with Brother Yuan now?"

Zhao Yi: "Just follow, no need to show up first, until your Brother Yuan sends a signal."

"Hmm!" Chen Jing nodded forcefully, then asked suspiciously, "What signal?"

"Wait for him to shout:

'Brother Zhao, please save me quickly!'"

"This is pancake rolled with green onion?"

Lin Shu You looked at the food in his hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

He had seen it in books and on TV, and he had always been curious about this bite.

Opened his mouth and took a bite.
