Chapter 165
Standard room, one bed per person. After taking a shower, Xue Liangliang also lay down on the bed.
Picking up the watch to check the time, Xue Liangliang said, "Xiaoyuan, we have to get up early tomorrow."
From today's work contact, it can be seen that although Xue Liangliang's qualifications are not the highest, his relationship with Engineer Luo is the best. He is the only one who can joke with Engineer Luo at work; when Engineer Luo goes to a meeting, he will play the role of organizing and allocating work tasks.
"Yeah."
Li Zhuiyuan spread the quilt, lay down, and prepared to sleep.
Xue Liangliang wrapped himself in a blanket and turned his body towards this side: "Xiaoyuan, I still feel it's unreal."
"Yeah."
Xue Liangliang: "It feels like all this happened so suddenly. Sometimes when I call my parents at home, I feel like I'm still a child. As a result, now, I'm going to have my own child soon."
"Yeah."
"Xiaoyuan, have you ever thought about being a father in the future? Well, why am I asking you this? You're still young and haven't reached the legal age for marriage."
"Yeah."
"I bought a lot of children's clothes during the day, both boys and girls. Xiaoyuan, do you think it will be a boy or a girl?"
"Boy."
Baijia Town should have a way to detect the gender of the baby in the belly in advance.
When Li Zhuiyuan put himself in the perspective of "being used", he could only infer the worst situation, that is, the bride was pregnant with a baby boy.
Xue Liangliang could not be killed after being used. This was the consensus of Baijia Town.
But according to tradition, the baby boy in the belly should be disposed of.
This may be the real purpose of the bride. It can also be seen from the side that she really has feelings for Xue Liangliang and wants to protect the fruit of their love.
"I have waited for a thousand years, I have waited for a thousand years, I have no regrets~"
The TV is playing the new drama "Legend of the White Snake" which has just been introduced to the mainland and is now popular.
Li Zhuiyuan thinks that Ye Tong and Zhao Yazhi should be replaced and let Xue Liangliang and his wife play.
"Xiaoyuan..."
"Brother, I have to get up early tomorrow."
"Oh, that's right."
Xue Liangliang got out of bed to turn off the TV and the lights.
Li Zhuiyuan's work and rest schedule is very regular. He is used to getting up early no matter when he goes to bed. When it was dawn, he opened his eyes and sat up gently from the bed.
Just after washing up, he saw Xue Liangliang got up.
"Xiaoyuan, you get up so early."
"I'm used to it."
"I'm used to it too. Whenever I'm with Mr. Luo, my schedule becomes very standard."
After tidying up, the two walked out of the room.
Xiong Shan came over and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask Lihua to buy breakfast."
"It's too early, the breakfast shop isn't open yet." Xue Liangliang waved his hand, "Let's go to the guesthouse to eat, you guys take care of it. By the way, just in case, continue to renew the room fee and ask the boss to issue an invoice."
Liu Changping was called up, rubbed his eyes, and went to drive without washing up.
Xue Liangliang took out two packs of cigarettes from his bag and handed one to Liu Changping: "Thank you for your hard work, buddy."
Liu Changping took the cigarette and smiled, "What's the hard work? We're used to it in our line of work."
He opened the cigarettes, took out a pack, and Liu Changping handed the rest back.
Xue Liangliang left them all in the car and patted Xiong Shan's leg.
After arriving at the guesthouse, Xue Liangliang led Li Zhuiyuan inside.
The guesthouse opened breakfast early, and Luo Gong and his team were already sitting inside to eat.
Xue Liangliang and Li Zhuiyuan made porridge, took pickles and eggs, and sat over to eat together.
Li Zhuiyuan and his fellow brothers were already familiar with each other, and they were all a group of relatively simple people.
They had two most obvious characteristics:
One was that they all looked much older than their actual age.
The other was that they were generally unmarried, and even had no one in a relationship.
After dinner, everyone was collectively arranged to get on a bus and head to the construction site next to Gaoyou Lake again.
The layout of the construction site was no different from yesterday, except that there were more non-construction workers than yesterday.
As soon as Luo Gong arrived, he was invited to a meeting, and Xue Liangliang led everyone to continue to review the work completed yesterday.
At ten o'clock, Luo Gong came back from the meeting. He first checked everyone's work results and nodded: "Everyone can rest now."
Li Zhuiyuan and Xue Liangliang walked out of the work tent and went outside. The two walked along the front and walked up a dirt slope.
Xue Liangliang squatted down, took out a cigarette, lit it, and said:
"Xiaoyuan, our work is like this. Sometimes we do a lot of work that seems useless afterwards, but that is also for responsibility."
"Well, I understand."
Li Zhuiyuan's attention was attracted by the lake in the distance. There were three boats parked there. Divers went into the water from time to time and people floated up to the boat.
If this can only be said to be normal, then at the northwest side of the lake, Li Zhuiyuan saw a sacrificial table. A group of people seemed to be burning incense, and then inserted the incense in their hands into the furnace and went into the water one by one.
Some people brought a bladder, while others simply went shirtless and empty-handed. After going into the water, they disappeared quickly like fish.
It seems that the investigation into the special dragon-sucking water phenomenon the day before has already begun, and it may have begun earlier than me.
Xue Liangliang followed Li Zhuiyuan's gaze and said:
"It's normal. Sometimes when there are special situations during construction, a special team will come to assist in handling them. The external name is usually geological exploration or archaeological protection."
At noon, lunch boxes were delivered to the construction site.
There is no special classification of people. Whoever is hungry can take it by himself, and then find a place to stand or squat to eat.
Simple dishes, one edamame pickle, one stir-fried greens, plus gluten braised meat, gluten is the majority, and there are only three or two pieces of meat.
But for some reason, the white plastic foam box with rough disposable chopsticks makes people very appetizing at first glance.
After lunch, the superiors began to arrange for the evacuation of personnel.
The first to evacuate were the workers on the construction site. Because of confidentiality reasons, everyone did not know what happened specifically, and the year-end was approaching, so they were not willing to evacuate the construction site at this time.
Fortunately, relevant leaders came forward to guarantee, and then the relevant person in charge of the construction site paid the year-end salary in advance, which allowed the workers to leave happily first.
Xue Liangliang pursed his lips and said, "It's not easy for everyone. These days, the most fearful thing about working is that wages are owed. Our guarantee in this regard is indeed not in place, and we must find a way to continue to promote implementation."
Li Zhuiyuan unscrewed a bottle of water and took a sip. His attention was on the large trucks that drove in and the additional boats on the lake.
Related personnel evacuated one after another. Luo Gong's team was the last few batches. When they got on the bus again and drove out, there was a "boom boom boom!" sound on the lake.
The people on the bus started to discuss:
"Did it explode?"
"Yes, it should be in the lake."
"Is it the kind of depth charge?"
"The kind that explodes submarines in movies?"
"Oh my God, is that really the case?"
"By the way, can it be blown out?"
"Even if it is blown out, you can't see it. Look, there is martial law over there. When martial law is lifted, it will definitely be handled cleanly."
"I really want to stay and see it with my own eyes, so that I can brag about it when I go on blind dates in the future, so that I don't have nothing to talk about."
Mr. Luo couldn't help but cough a few times, and the bus immediately became quiet. Everyone sat down consciously and stopped talking.
When they were about to arrive at the guesthouse, Mr. Luo stood up and walked to the front of the bus, turned around and faced everyone in the bus:
"What should be said and what should not be said, I think you all know it in your heart, be careful, have a door in your mouth, and have some political literacy in your heart."
Everyone responded in unison.
After getting off the bus, Li Zhuiyuan and Xue Liangliang were called to the room by Mr. Luo.
Judging from Luo Gong's expression, today's incident was not really bizarre or serious in his career. The Goguryeo tomb in Ji'an that he had told himself and others was much more serious than this time.
The purpose of the simple chat was to lay the groundwork in advance.
"Xiaoyuan, you won't have much time to stay in school next semester."
"I know, teacher, I also want to work."
"Well, no matter how well you learn, you have to come out and experience more. Theory should be combined with practice.
After the New Year, I will let Liangliang lead a group alone. Go wherever technical support or assistance is needed. Don't be afraid of hard work and run more.
Liangliang, Xiaoyuan is still young, you have to take good care of him."
"Haha, don't worry, I will."
Xue Liangliang agreed with a smile. He knew very well that if he really took Xiaoyuan with him, he didn't know who would take care of whom.
Luo Gong saw him smiling, and couldn't help scolding: "Stinky boy, be serious."
Xue Liangliang immediately straightened his chest.
Not to mention, when he became serious and upright, this image was really very good, and the standard was like the characters in the old New Year paintings. No wonder the Bai family's mother fell in love.
Luo Gong put down the teacup, reached out to help Xue Liangliang straighten his collar, and said earnestly:
"Be more stable, more responsible, and always remember that what we are doing, not to say that it will be as great as Li Bing, but at least it must be ensured for a hundred years, and we must not forget the sense of responsibility on our shoulders."
Xue Liangliang nodded vigorously: "I know, teacher."
Li Zhuiyuan knew that this was actually a way to pave the way. At such an age, he could lead the team alone, and every mission was a qualification and a step.
This was an opportunity for training that ordinary people could not even hope for, and the most important thing was that the results of the training could ensure that they would be fulfilled in the future.
For himself, this was also due to Brother Liangliang's help. Otherwise, with his freshman degree and current age, Luo Gong would really have no way to start training him even if he wanted to.
But this also means that his next river trip will become more complicated and diversified.
The question setter will have a wider range of question types to choose from, and the waves he will face will be more dangerous.
However, Li Zhuiyuan did not feel scared, but was looking forward to it. He even had a desire to try it now.
Luo Gong: "I want to go back to Jinling. Do you want to go back? You can take my car."
Li Zhuiyuan: "Teacher, I'm on winter vacation."
Xue Liangliang: "Teacher, I want to go home and see."
"Well, then wait at home for a good New Year. I have a feeling that when I get really busy in the future, it will be a luxury to go home and spend a peaceful year with my family."
The two accompanied Luo Gong downstairs. After watching him get into the car and leave, Xue Liangliang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Zhuiyuan:
"Xiaoyuan, Luo Gong is right. You will be very busy next year, and you will have fewer opportunities to go home."
Li Zhuiyuan glanced at Xue Liangliang.
Xue Liangliang blushed.
Although silent, there was communication.
No matter how busy you were, you didn't stop from returning to Nantong to jump into the river, nor did you stop from having children.
However, this was not Xue Liangliang's fault. He always took the time to return to Nantong during a project or a meeting.
He came and went in a hurry, and he really never delayed his work.
"Xiaoyuan, what do you think about me bringing my parents to Nantong to celebrate the New Year this year?"
"It's good. Uncle and aunt probably haven't seen the sea yet."
Xue Liangliang's old face blushed again.
"But it seems that simply calling for tourism is not strong enough?"
"Just say that you have a project in Nantong and are very busy. You can't go back to your hometown during the New Year, so let them come here to accompany you for the New Year."
"That's fine."
"Soften your tone on the phone and say that you also want to get married early."
Xue Liangliang grabbed Li Zhuiyuan's face and "smacked" the boy's head.
"The brain of a child prodigy is just good!"
Li Zhuiyuan sighed, raised his sleeves and wiped his head.
Given the anxiety of Xue's parents about Xue Liangliang's marriage, they were willing to come from their hometown even if it was just to urge him to get married in front of their son during the New Year.
Li Zhuiyuan had contact with Xue's parents. The old couple is now living a happy life, but they are also very depressed. Their son is too promising, which makes them lose the capital to control their son.
Liu Changping's taxi followed the bus to the outskirts of the construction site in the morning, and followed it back to the guesthouse when it came out.
So after the two of them went out, they got on the car directly.
Xiong Shan asked: "Will the two of us stay to continue the investigation?"
Li Zhuiyuan waved his hand: "No need."
There has been official intervention in the matter here.
After all, Xiong Shan and his wife are not his own direct team, and most of his own direct team are lying down to recover from injuries.
Furthermore, Xiong Shan and his wife had already given up twice, so it was not appropriate to drag them into his own waves.
In comparison, Li Zhuiyuan was still used to the state when his team was in good order.
In addition, the New Year was coming, and considering that his first two waves were seriously ahead of schedule, the questioner would at least have a tacit understanding to let him take a break and have a good New Year.
Well, even if the questioner had bad intentions, he would stay in Nantong. With the one in the peach forest, ordinary waves would not be able to beat him.
Xue Liangliang directed Liu Changping to go to Zhenguo Temple before leaving Gaoyou.
Zhenguo Temple has a long history and was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is also called the West Pagoda and is known as the "Southern Wild Goose Pagoda".
No entrance fee is charged.
The group walked in. The temple was not big, so a simple visit was enough. However, when they arrived at the incense burning position, Xue Liangliang asked everyone if they wanted to burn incense.
Since they were here, Xiong Shan and his wife said they wanted to burn incense, and Liu Changping also raised his hand.
Only Li Zhuiyuan waved his hand to say no.
Buying incense costs money, and Xue Liangliang bought four incense sticks.
Li Zhuiyuan stood far away, but he could still hear the sound of their prayers when they burned incense.
Xue Liangliang prayed for "peace and prosperity in the country and good weather and good harvests" as soon as he opened his mouth.
He has always been like this, whether he is speaking loudly or praying quietly, he doesn't mind revealing such a voice.
He knows very well that some ideas and opinions clearly expressed are easy to attract special attention at the moment, but he doesn't care, and even doesn't care about those who criticize him at all.
Then the second one began to pray for "mother and child safety", as if afraid that the Buddha would mistakenly think that he favored sons over daughters, and added "mother and daughter safety".
It would be better for the lady of the Bai family to give birth to a son.
If she gave birth to a son, she could throw him out, but if she gave birth to a daughter... Li Zhuiyuan felt that he would have to make another trip to help make a threat.
I just don't know how long the Bai family's mother's pregnancy will last. It's hard to calculate the pregnancy period for their inhuman existence.
Lihua started praying for her son, but Xiong Shan bumped her arm and corrected her. Then they started praying for the Dragon King's family in unison.
Li Zhuiyuan knew that Xiong Shan had already noticed that he had very good hearing.
These two people never hid their utilitarianism from the beginning, but because of this, they were able to get along more easily. For their son, they could be utilitarian and extremely loyal.
After praying for the Dragon King's family, Xiong Shan and his wife began to pray for their son.
Liu Changping was simpler. He prayed that he could get married soon.
I thought it was so simple to end, but who knew that his second sentence made Li Zhuiyuan's mouth twitch.
Liu Changping: "I hope my buddy Xue Liangliang can get over the pain of losing his wife and son as soon as possible and embrace a new life."
This once again proves that Tan Wenbin's ability to judge people is really accurate, and Liu Changping is indeed a true character in his bones.
After praying and burning incense, everyone prepared to leave.
At the exit of the gate, there stood an old monk in a cassock, holding a Zen stick, with a solemn appearance.
Under normal circumstances, the old monk would not dress so formally.
Xue Liangliang and Liu Changping walked in front and drove first, while Xiong Shan and Lihua stopped in front of the old monk and stared at him.
When Li Zhuiyuan came over, the old monk bowed to him: "Amitabha."
Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you know who I am?"
"Donor, please forgive me. I don't know."
"Then you are not waiting for me?"
"I am waiting for you, but I am not you. When a dragon appears in the sky, there is a real dragon in the world. What I am waiting for is the auspicious sign in the world."
"Then it's not me you're waiting for."
"Past, present, and future are all at ease. When you look back in the future, you'll see me waiting here."
"Oh."
"You didn't burn incense."
"Yes."
"I pray for you."
"I also wish you good health, Grandpa Monk."
The old monk bowed again, and the two of them crossed paths with a "Amitabha".
After Li Zhuiyuan left, the old monk's body suddenly softened. The two young monks who were sent away and the two old security guards sitting at the gate immediately ran over to help the old monk up.
Amid the concerned inquiries, the old monk slowly opened his eyes, looked at the surrounding environment, and then looked at his cassock and the Zen stick in his hand. The old monk wondered:
"I'm just taking a nap, why did I come here?"
...
When I returned to Siyuan Village from Gaoyou, it was almost dusk.
Xiao Yingying held the child and sat on the dam, facing the sunset.
Lihua took the child out of Xiao Yingying's arms, held it and coaxed it, then handed it to her husband.
Xiong Shan teased the child, then handed it to Lihua. Lihua gently pinched the child's butt with her hand, and the child cried out.
Lihua took the opportunity to put the child back into Xiao Yingying's arms.
The child stopped crying immediately.
Lihua: "Look, the child kisses you."
Xiao Yingying held the child, her eyes calm and cold.
Li Zhuiyuan asked: "Where is my great grandfather?"
Xiao Yingying: "He went to the blind man's house."
Li Sanjiang went to Liu Jinxia's house, probably to discuss something. As the only two funeral people in Siyuan Village, sometimes they would introduce each other to business, or join forces to sit together to make money.
Lihua went to prepare dinner, Xiong Shan first picked up the hoe, and when it was late, he put down the hoe, pushed out the tricycle and cart at home, and washed them with well water.
Li Zhuiyuan looked at Xue Liangliang and pointed at the taxi.
Xue Liangliang: "I won't go today."
"Oh."
Li Zhuiyuan was going to make a phone call, and Xue Liangliang and Liu Changping followed him.
When they arrived at Aunt Zhang's store, Li Zhuiyuan picked up the phone and dialed the number in the affordable store.
It was Lu Yi who answered the phone, and Li Zhuiyuan asked him to call Yin Meng.
"Hello, Brother Xiaoyuan, it's me."
"Get ready and drive them back together."
"Okay, Brother Xiaoyuan."
"Please tell Grandma Liu that my great grandfather invites them to come back for the New Year."
"Yes."
Li Zhuiyuan hung up the phone.
Xue Liangliang picked up the phone and continued to call. He needed to call Min'an Town and let the other party call his parents, so he hung up the phone.
After waiting for five minutes, Xue Liangliang called again and started a conversation with his father.
The call was a bit long, but the process was very smooth. After hanging up the phone, Xue Liangliang smiled and said, "My parents have agreed to come here for the New Year. I will arrange for them to stay in a hotel in town."
"No need, the big bearded man's house is still empty. I will let Xiong Shan and his family live there and vacate the west room for your parents."
"Is this suitable?"
"Suitable."
The big bearded man's house is really not suitable for ordinary people to live in, after all, it is a haunted house.
But Xiong Shan and his wife went there to spend the New Year with the man under the peach forest. They should be happy, just in time to get closer.
Liu Changping looked at the pager on his waist, then picked up the phone, dialed it, and talked for a long time, talking about the betrothal gift.
After he hung up the phone, Xue Liangliang handed him a cigarette and asked with concern:
"What's wrong?"
Liu Changping took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Xue Liangliang first, then for himself, and said: "My brother-in-law came back from the army. When he knew that his sister was getting married, he got angry at home and said that he would never accept his sister's dowry."
Xue Liangliang: "Congratulations, the pressure is relieved, but you will have to give more in the future."
Liu Changping nodded and smiled: "But you are not willing to give."
At this time, Li Sanjiang came over from the village road. He was wearing the new clothes bought for him by Xiaoyuanhou, and the pen was still pinned on his chest pocket.
Seeing the person standing in front of the canteen, Li Sanjiang deliberately straightened his chest, put his hands behind his back, and raised his head.
Xue Liangliang clapped his hands and said: "Oh, isn't this the village chief?"
Li Sanjiang: "Let's go home and have dinner."
During dinner, Xue Liangliang took the initiative to talk to Li Sanjiang about his next work arrangements, and also said that Xiaoyuan would travel around with him next year.
After hearing this, Li Sanjiang looked at Li Zhuiyuan with some distress and said:
"It's good to run more, it's good for exercise. I can hear that this is the opportunity given to you by your teacher."
After a pause, Li Sanjiang patted the back of Xue Liangliang's hand and said: "Lianghou, you have to take care of Xiaoyuan when you are away."
Xue Liangliang nodded immediately. He knew very well that if he took Xiaoyuan out, he would be the only one to be taken care of.
Afterwards, Xue Liangliang told Li Sanjiang that he was going to bring his parents over to celebrate the New Year.
"It's good to come. During the New Year, there should be more people. This way it will be lively and meaningful."
Late at night, everything was silent.
Xue Liangliang sat up from the bed, tiptoed out of bed, and put on his clothes.
After he walked out of the room, Li Zhuiyuan opened his eyes and looked at the clock on the wall: 0:30.
Brother Liangliang said he would not visit her today, but now it was a new day.
Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the room door and came to the terrace. He saw a car parked on the village road ahead. The red light sign on the roof was clearly visible and it was a taxi.
Xue Liangliang got into the car.
Liu Changping asked, "Or go there?"
Xue Liangliang nodded: "Yes, I still miss them."
Liu Changping sighed, started the car, and said while driving: "Brother, you still have to think about it and think more about your parents. There is still a long way to go in life."
"I'm just worried about this, just thinking about how to pass my parents' level in the future."
Liu Changping didn't dare to continue persuading him, and his hand holding the steering wheel had already stained with sweat.
This person really doesn't want to live anymore and wants to commit suicide.
After the taxi drove away, Li Zhuiyuan looked at the moon in the sky.
Just then, Xiao Yingying's figure appeared on the terrace, and she was still holding the child in her arms.
She woke up, and the child also woke up, with a pair of black and shiny eyes, looking around curiously.
Perhaps seeing Li Zhuiyuan's previous action of looking up, he also learned to kick his legs, raised his head, and glanced at Yuekong.
Li Zhuiyuan could see that this child was really smart, but his intelligence did not cross the boundaries.
He just had a stronger perception and curiosity about the world, unlike himself at that time, who had already left that category early.
At that time, he found that every time someone praised him for his intelligence, Li Lan would frown slightly, and he would even deliberately act stupid for a while.
Then I found that Li Lan was even more angry about this.
She was not sure at that time that she had inherited her illness.
She just simply didn't want her son to be a freak and was too smart, but she couldn't accept that her son was not smart enough.
Xiao Yingying continued to hold the child with one hand and pointed the other hand towards the bearded man's house.
The one under the peach forest wants to see him.
Li Zhuiyuan nodded and walked downstairs.
When we arrived at the door of the west room, the door of the west room opened from inside, and Xiong Shan and Li Hua were already waiting there.
They lived in the house and actually kept paying attention to the movement outside. They ignored Xue Liangliang's trip, but they could not ignore Li Zhuiyuan's footsteps.
"Let's come together and bring incense and candles for offerings."
"good!"
Xiao Yingying did not follow him, but hugged the child and lay back in the coffin to sleep.
Li Zhuiyuan brought Xiong Shan and his wife to the bearded man's house.
On the altar, Li Zhuiyuan stood beside him and watched. The sacrificial ceremony was presided over by Xiong Shan.
Xiong Shan has a very upright attitude and the ceremony is meticulous.
Lihua bent her waist beside her, chanting the words that she still blessed her son.
It seemed as if they were worshiping not the terrible evil spirit at this time, but the peach blossom fairy.
However, who can tell who is the immortal or the evil spirit?
Sometimes, existence like this is one and two sides.
Li Zhuiyuan stood quietly.
Until the candles on the altar began to shake and the peach blossoms fell here.
Xiong Shan and Li Hua showed excitement on their faces. One worked harder to burn paper and recite scriptures, and the other was more excited to pray for their son.
Li Zhuiyuan looked at the dark and dark peach forest in front of him. This guy was quite interesting. I don’t know why he changed his style tonight, but he even created some artistic conception.
But I think it shouldn't be to take care of Xiong Shan and Li Hua specifically, because they are not worthy.
So, is this person under the Taolin who became interested in that child?
After all, the child has been held in Xiao Yingying's arms for the past two days, and Xiao Yingying is its accomplice. Theoretically, it can gain all Xiao Yingying's perceptions.
If this is true, it has to be said that this is the great opportunity that Xiong Shan and his wife are striving for.
Although the man who was not as good as the Dragon King family and was in poor condition now, the lean camel was bigger than a horse and was one of the followers of Wei Zhengdao.
Li Zhuiyuan opened the Yin and then walked down the dam and into the Taolin in a Yin state.
In the originally pitch-black peach forest, two strings of lanterns appeared, illuminating a faint luster.
The one who stood there leaned sideways.
After Li Zhuiyuan reached a certain distance, he stopped.
It is not appropriate to continue moving forward. People just want to face themselves sideways because their face will keep changing, and at the same time, there is also a face on the back of their heads that is constantly changing.
Since people want to show off a slightly normal image, they naturally have to give face.
At the same time, this also shows that some kind of hope was really ignited in his heart.
Because only those who have something to ask and are tied to their hearts will pay attention to their image.
However, it did not open its mouth and continued to stand sideways and remained silent.
Li Zhuiyuan took the initiative to speak, "That child is not bad."
The one who continued not speaking.
Li Zhuiyuan: "A very smart child has seen the world since he was a child and has merits."
The one still didn't speak.
Li Zhuiyuan: "The child has not officially named him. His parents meant that he wanted to find a godfather or master to name the child."
That guy still didn't speak.
Li Zhuiyuan felt a little disgusted in his heart: Where did this come from the arrogant and stinky temper?
The young man couldn't help but wonder whether Wei Zhengdao could not stand his pretentiousness, so he deliberately passed on the black book secret method to him so that he could find a place to bury himself in order to be quiet.
However, letting this person have more ties with reality is in the interests of Li Zhuiyuan.
If it is really willing to accept a child and take in an apprentice, it will be like adding an unbreakable insurance to its rear.
Those big families and big sects can't afford such a level of gatekeeper at the gate of the ancestral house, right?
It is true that its existence in the past did protect the peace of this area, and it had to change its course when it drifted to this place.
But this is not its original intention. It just exists here and plays a role. It has never really said that it is willing to be the land god.
Li Zhuiyuan said: "This child, is he like you in the past, very smart, but not the smartest one?"
Its body began to tremble.
Li Zhuiyuan knew that he was right.
It hated Wei Zhengdao the most, but it cared about Wei Zhengdao the most.
As for this description, it is really not difficult. This person must have been a person with outstanding talent, but geniuses will immediately become dim in front of Wei Zhengdao.
At this point, Li Zhuiyuan can easily substitute.
It had feelings for Xiong Shan's son, and it was probably because of that child that it appeared beside it.
Finally,
it spoke:
"Let's open the human skin and speak frankly."
"Hmm?"
"Have you seen him?"
"How did you know?"
Li Zhuiyuan did not deny it. Although he did not remember, he could almost confirm that he had indeed seen Wei Zhengdao.
"After you came back this time, your confidence is different."
"Was I not confident before? After all, I am also the inheritor of the two dragon kings."
"Is that your thing?"
"Why not?"
"Do you really think that it is your thing from the bottom of your heart?"
"I am trying and gradually accepting it."
"So, at least for now, it is not your thing. Then tell me, where does your confidence come from now?"
Li Zhuiyuan was silent.
It continued, "You may not be able to perceive it, but I can see it clearly here, including your posture standing in front of me now, which is so obvious."
"Okay, I admit that you are right."
Li Zhuiyuan could feel its excitement at the moment, and it was eager to know the news about Wei Zhengdao.
If I tell it that I have forgotten it.
It will not have the good temper of Grandma Liu, it will go crazy, and then peel many people into boiled shrimps.
It can do such a thing, because it still has some control over itself, which is still to be discussed. Once its emotions are out of control, it will be the biggest source of threat.
"Is he really not dead yet?"
Li Zhuiyuan is about to start making up stories.
He feels that when he lost his memory during the period when he faced Wei Zhengdao, he should have thought about this problem, and even mentioned it to Wei Zhengdao.
Out of trust in his own rationality, he believes that he must have had a plan at that time. If there is really no trace, then... there is no need for traces.
Even if it was a lie, I should have believed that I, who later lost my memory, could make it up.
With this thought, Li Zhuiyuan felt relieved.
"He's dead."
"Dead? How did you see him?"
"You know, it's hard for people like him to die cleanly."
"Indeed."
"He thought of many ways to commit suicide and struggled for a long time."
"Normal."
After a short silence, it took the initiative to speak: "Did he mention me?"
"Yes."
"What did he say?"
"He said you were as stupid as a dog that would be tricked into guarding the door."
"Hahahahahahaha!"
Li Zhuiyuan deliberately made it up like this because he knew what he wanted it to do, and it also knew what he wanted it to do.
Now, he was just "speaking" this purpose through Wei Zhengdao's mouth.
Will it get angry, be furious, and deliberately do the opposite?
No.
It is very dangerous and scary, but its personality is easy to guess.
Especially when I finally had the confidence to stand in front of it calmly, the "personalities" of both sides were leveled, without the mysterious and unattainable veil and fog blocking the view, and the perspective was clearer.
It: "He is right, I am now, isn't it?"
Li Zhuiyuan smiled but said nothing, thinking quickly in his mind, the answer to the next question.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should ask: What else did he say?
I must think of a perfect answer, not only to make it feel profound, but also to make it satisfied to end this question and answer about Wei Zhengdao, to make it feel that after getting this answer, there is no need to continue asking.
Because the specific memory of meeting Wei Zhengdao has not been found, it really can't stand excessive questioning. If you ask a few more questions, it will easily reveal your feet.
The silence was broken again.
It: "What else did he say?"
Li Zhuiyuan: "He asked me to bring you a message."
"What?"
"I'm sorry."
