Chapter 44
Li Zhuiyuan is still in the learning stage of this method of controlling death, so he is also somewhat unpredictable about the current situation.
But one thing can be determined first, that is, Ali is definitely not dead.
So,
Will it be me who dies?
Li Zhuiyuan really carefully recalled his childhood and confirmed that he just had the same mental illness as Li Lan, and he would not be expelled and relegated to death.
So, what is going on with the current situation?
This is the disadvantage of self-study by reading books. There is no teacher to teach, there is no complete teaching plan, and there is no complete knowledge theory system structure. Sometimes complex problems can be solved by oneself, but when encountering simple concepts, you can only scratch your head. .
Moreover, under this premise, people with better learning talents are often more likely to go astray.
But,
Come all come.
Li Zhuiyuan looked at Ah Li wrapped in darkness in front of him and took a step forward.
After taking this step, he felt everything around him was moving rapidly, and a feeling countless times stronger than motion sickness was crazily stimulating his consciousness.
Fortunately, all this happened very quickly. When the surrounding area became "quiet", Li Zhuiyuan found himself sitting on a small bench with his feet stepping on the threshold in front of him.
This sitting posture was very familiar to Li Zhuiyuan. The girl had been sitting like this during the day for a long time.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot"
It's like a cry, but also like an animal's low cry, both far and near.
Just outside this door, just a hair away from the threshold, the perspective is obviously very realistic, but it is filled with a weird ink painting style.
A dwarf, only a few inches tall, wearing yellow clothes, riding a pony, driving a yellow canopy car, passed by the door, turned a corner, and galloped away deep into the dark clouds ahead. .
A python is walking through the grass in front of the door. The python has only one head, but two snake bodies extend from underneath. As it crawls, the snake bodies keep intertwining and weaving.
In the vegetable field ahead, there are several people dressed as farmers working with hoes. They have water bottles tied on the left side of their waists and their heads on the right side.
On the river bank in the distance, several women were squatting there doing laundry, beating with hammers in their hands, but what they beat was not dirty clothes, but crying babies.
The environment outside the door is dynamic. When you turn your eyes, the things you see outside the door begin to change.
All of a sudden, all kinds of ghosts and monsters appeared in sight, some were recorded in ancient books, and some were unheard of.
Li Zhuiyuan raised his eyes. There were dark clouds in the sky, and there seemed to be some huge figure looming in it.
I want to capture it with my eyes, but I still can't see clearly.
Li Zhuiyuan turned around and looked behind him. There was an offering table filled with memorial tablets.
When I first saw it, I felt an inexplicable sense of security.
But soon, there was a strong sense of loss.
Because these tablets are not only dull, but also dilapidated, with shocking cracks all over them.
Li Zhuiyuan felt that since they could appear here, they should be able to play some role.
But in fact, their functions are missing. There is an oil lamp in front of each tablet, but there is no bit of lamp oil in the oil lamp. Obviously, it is impossible for the aura to light up again.
Suddenly, Li Zhuiyuan felt that it became very quiet outside the house and the light became dim.
He turned around and looked at the door, only to find a pitted and mottled wall that completely sealed the door.
Buzz!
The next moment,
A crack opened in the middle of the wall, and then it tore open violently, revealing a huge, slanted eye.
Li Zhuiyuan's heart was shaken, and there was a harsh roar in his ears.
All the scenes in front of him disappeared, and he seemed to wake up, but he couldn't see or hear.
On the balcony on the second floor, the boy opened his eyes blankly, stood up from the wicker chair, and began to sway left and right, getting closer and closer to the edge of the balcony.
At this moment, a small hand grabbed his hand and pulled him back.
Li Zhuiyuan stumbled and sat back on the wicker chair, then stared straight ahead with a dull expression.
I don't know how long it took for the boy to regain some consciousness. What followed was a splitting headache. He held his head in his hands and lowered his head in pain.
Gradually, he calmed down and turned to look at the girl beside him.
The girl was also looking at him, with a little bit of anticipation in her eyes, as if she was waiting for his evaluation.
He had just gone to the girl's "home" and saw a horror in her heart that would be unforgettable for a lifetime.
But the boy did not comfort or feel distressed. Instead, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile and he said in a dry voice:
"It's so interesting."
The girl tilted her cheek slightly, and there seemed to be shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth.
She is very happy.
Children from ordinary families will always feel a little embarrassed and uneasy when they bring their classmates and friends to play at home.
Her home is terrible, but no matter how terrible it is, it is still her home.
At this time, sympathy, comfort, and encouragement are not what the "host" wants, and will instead aggravate the embarrassment.
Therefore, the best attitude towards being a guest is: relax and don’t take it seriously.
Li Zhuiyuan also had a smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and gently scratched the girl's nose.
The girl looked at his hand seriously, and then slowly raised her own hand.
The boy leaned forward, and the girl also scratched the boy's nose, very gently.
Picking up the black book again, Li Zhuiyuan began to review the entire previous process. He felt that he seemed to have succeeded in the execution method, although the result was a failure.
Moreover, it seems that he has found a way to train, and Ali is his sparring partner.
Although, he vaguely felt that the level of this sparring partner seemed to be beyond the standard.
But the more difficult it is, the faster his progress will be. The worst he can do is have a headache, but he can bear it.
"Ali, shall we do it again?"
The girl nodded.
Then, they both lay down together and closed their eyes.
The same beginning, the same process, the same picture...and the same splitting headache.
When Li Zhuiyuan had just recovered from his second illness, Aunt Liu's voice came from downstairs:
“It’s time for breakfast!”
This feeling is very much like getting up early before playing a few games of chess while waiting for breakfast.
Li Zhuiyuan felt that he had found a new game with girls.
Breakfast is porridge, but there are many kinds of pickles, including Nantong’s local tradition and Grandma Liu’s preference.
Small plates are placed on the small table one by one, which is very ceremonial.
Of course, if Runsheng and Binbin are not considered.
Runsheng always eats like this. He has to light incense in the morning, noon and evening, put porridge in a basin, and pour all kinds of pickles into it. After stirring, he eats it with a spoon, and the porridge and vegetables are evenly distributed in every spoonful.
Tan Wenbin is completely integrated.
Li Sanjiang crossed his left leg, and he crossed his right leg. Both of them held the porridge bowl with one hand and moved it half a circle along the edge of the bowl. Then they picked up a few pickles with chopsticks and threw them into their mouths. While chewing the pickles, they used chopsticks. Tai scratched his itch and looked into the distance.
After the meal, Li Sanjiang lit a cigarette.
Tan Wenbin took the initiative to pick up the match and help Li Sanjiang light it.
Then, before the match went out, he took one out of Li Sanjiang's cigarette case and put it in his mouth. After lighting it, he quickly threw away the match and shook his hands quickly.
Li Sanjiang glanced at him but said nothing.
He didn't understand the word "rebellion", but he had lived a long time and had seen a lot, and he knew that the child in front of him was at this stage.
Most children will experience this when they grow up, and they always feel that growing up is such a great thing.
But when he looked at Li Zhuiyuan, Li Sanjiang smiled again. His Xiao Yuanhou would definitely not be so naive.
Li Zhuiyuan took the money in exchange for the gold ingot and handed the bag to Li Sanjiang:
"Master, Uncle Ding and others came here this morning. They said it was urgent and they had to rush back. I was afraid of disturbing you to sleep, so I didn't call you, so I asked me to transfer the money to you."
"Really, are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Li Sanjiang took the black plastic bag and took a look at it, and then took a few puffs of cigarettes in his mouth.
"Oh, I'm so old and young."
"Master, that should be enough, right?"
"Enough is definitely enough. Once the money for the contract is given, the remaining money will be used to plant peach trees. If the remaining money is more, plant more densely. If the money is less, plant more loosely.
Okay, I'll go find the village chief to sign the contract, and then go to the town to inquire about saplings. Tinghou, I won't be back for lunch at noon. Alas, if it weren't for the sake of the house, I really wouldn't want to go through such trouble. ”
Li Sanjiang carried the bag and walked out. As soon as he stepped off the dam, he heard his voice:
"Xiao Cuihou, are you here to play with Xiao Yuanhou?"
"Yeah."
"Then go."
Soon, Cuicui walked to the dam. Her eyes swept over Li Zhuiyuan and A Li, with a bright smile on her face.
"Brother Yuanhou."
When she ran over, Li Zhuiyuan held Ah Li's hand.
"Brother Yuanhou, today is my birthday. My mother will buy me a birthday cake. Can you come to my house for dinner at noon?"
Cuicui's eyes were full of anticipation. She had always dreamed of having a friend to celebrate her birthday with her.
"Okay, I'll go."
"What about sister Ali?"
Li Zhuiyuan looked at Ah Li and asked, "Do you want to go?"
Ali looked at the boy and nodded.
Li Zhuiyuan was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect Ah Li to agree.
In the distance, Liu Yumei, who was still chewing her breakfast slowly, raised her head in surprise, with joy on her face.
"Then Ali will go too."
"Yeah, that's great."
"However, Cuicui, you have to tell Aunt Xianghou that you have to prepare a small table alone. Ali can't get too close to strangers."
"I understand. I told my mother about Sister Ali last time, and I will let her prepare it."
"Then I'll go too." Tan Wenbin raised his hand.
"Brother Yuanhou, who is he?"
"Strong."
"What Zhuangzhuang, my name is Binbin!"
Li Zhuiyuan looked at him and said, "I thought you had already acquiesced."
"I'm too lazy to be serious with your grandfather." Tan Wenbin rolled his eyes.
"Okay, Brother Zhuangzhuang...oh no, Brother Binbin, come too."
Cuicui naturally hopes that the more people come to her birthday, the better.
Tan Wenbin shouted to Runsheng who was still spooning dry porridge in the corner: "Runsheng, are you going or not? We have cake to eat."
Runsheng looked at Li Zhuiyuan and saw Li Zhuiyuan nodded, he replied: "Go!"
Li Zhuiyuan said to Cuicui: "Well, Cuicui, you have to tell your mother to cook an extra pot of rice."
"Okay, I will. Then I will go back first. You will come during lunch. Brother Yuanhou, sister Ali, brother Runsheng, and brother Zhuangzhuang, goodbye."
Cuicui jumped back, so happy that she seemed to want to grow a pair of wings and fly.
Tan Wenbin came over and said, "Brother Xiaoyuan, let's go to the town to pick out gifts now?"
Li Zhuiyuan nodded: "I'll go back upstairs to get the money."
"Don't worry, I have it here." Tan Wenbin patted his pocket.
In order to fear that he would be a burden to other people's families, his parents gave him a large amount of pocket money for the first time.
"Okay, Brother Runsheng, let's take a tricycle to the town."
"Here we go!"
Runsheng picked up the basin, swept the remaining porridge into his mouth, then walked to the well, washed his face, and then rode the tricycle out.
"Ali, are you going to town?" Li Zhuiyuan asked.
Ali shook her head.
Li Zhuiyuan stopped trying to persuade him. There were so many people in the town that it was really not suitable for Ah Li to go.
"Wait a minute." Liu Yumei called to Li Zhuiyuan, reached out and took off a pair of earrings from her ears, and handed them over, "This is a gift from our Ali."
Li Zhuiyuan did not reach out to take it, but said: "Grandma, it's too precious."
"It's not for you."
"But it's really inappropriate."
"Then you wait."
Liu Yumei turned around and walked into the house, took out a wad of money and put it on the coffee table:
"Go and buy a gift for Ali."
"Yeah." Li Zhuiyuan didn't take them all, but just took out one, "Okay, grandma."
After the three boys drove down the dam in a tricycle, Aunt Liu came over with a bottle of hot water, ready to help Liu Yumei make tea. When she saw the money on the coffee table, she smiled and asked:
"Why, he didn't want it?"
Liu Yumei shook her head in confusion: "This child is probably afraid that our money will sting him."
"Xiaoyuan is a careful kid, so he can easily think too much."
Liu Yumei shook her head: "He doesn't even look at how tough that girl is. No matter how hard it stings her, she can spend it freely."
"I know about that girl. There are rumors in the village that her family has a hard life, but Xiaoyuan probably doesn't believe this."
"He doesn't believe it?" Liu Yumei picked up the tea cup, "He has taken a liking to books made of Buddhist paper. Do you think he can't see that the girl has a tough life?"
"It's also possible that this kid always seems to know a lot without saying anything."
"Now is a special period. We cannot interfere. When Ali's illness is completely cured, the chains on us will be loosened. I plan to make this kid a registered disciple by then."
"Then what do you plan to pass on to him, from the Liu family or the Qin family?"
Liu Yumei smiled and said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's "Liu's Qi-Wang Jue"."
"I'm afraid it won't be up to you to choose."
"What?"
"He has such a good relationship with Ah Li. When Ah Li recovers from his illness, what will he want to learn, and Ah Li won't teach him?"
"It's useless. Every family has its own teaching methods. Even if these inheritances are clearly written in the book, without a master to guide you through the door, you can only scratch the surface and it is impossible to really learn them."
Speaking of this, Liu Yumei suddenly thought of teasing her granddaughter. She was also happy to see her granddaughter agree to attend someone else's birthday.
He walked into the house and took out a book with "Liu's Qi-Wang Jue" written on it.
The girl sat on the bench with her feet on the threshold, but this time, she did not just stare straight, her eyes slowly moved and looked around.
"Ali, do you think grandma, should I show this book to Xiaoyuan in the future?"
The last time I knew that the boy was short of money, my granddaughter took all the gold bars and banknotes in the house.
This boy likes to read books. When he sees this book, his granddaughter doesn’t want to rush to give it to him?
But her granddaughter's reaction made Liu Yumei confused. Ah Li actually ignored the book in her hand.
Didn't you see clearly?
Liu Yumei brought the book closer to Ah Li.
"Crack!"
Ah Li slapped the book to the ground.
Liu Yumei bent down to pick up the book in confusion and blew the dust on her head. She was not very happy, but a little nervous:
Hey, why doesn’t my granddaughter’s elbow turn outward?
……
"Xiaoyuan, are you going to Shinan Town or Shigang Town?"
Tan Wenbin patted Runsheng on the back and said: "Of course we are going to Shigang Town. There are only a few shops in Shinan Town."
"Brother Runsheng, let's go to Shigang Town."
"Okay!"
Tan Wenbin held the edge of the tricycle with both hands, faced the wind, crossed his bangs, and said: "Don't worry, I know Shigang Town well, and I will definitely help you pick out good gifts."
Arriving at the boundary of Shigang Town, we passed the gate of Shigang Middle School on the way. Shinan has a junior high school but no high school, so Yingzi, Panzi and Leizi also go to school here.
Tan Wenbin pointed to the school gate and said: "Brother Xiaoyuan, look, this is your alma mater in the future."
It was the first time Li Zhuiyuan heard that "later" could be added before his alma mater.
There are two banners hanging on the first teaching building of the school: "Today I am proud of my alma mater, and tomorrow my alma mater will be proud of me."
"Brother Binbin, are you going to school again in two days?"
"Don't worry, we can't go. We have collectively written to the Education Bureau to report that we will have to make up classes during the summer vacation."
"You organized it?"
"Hehe." Tan Wenbin moved his head in the direction of the wind, "It's right down there!"
Runsheng said: "Xiaoyuan, do you want to come here to go to school in the future?"
"Yes, you just know." Tan Wenbin answered first.
Runsheng: "That's good. From now on, I will take you to school by bike every morning and evening."
Tan Wenbin: “The school has dormitories.”
Li Zhuiyuan: "I don't live in the dormitory."
Grandpa’s house is not very far from here, and it’s convenient to have Brother Runsheng pick him up and drop him off. There are delicious food and drinks at home, a spacious big bed, and Ali.
"What about your early self-study and late self-study? We start early self-study at six o'clock and late self-study at ten o'clock. Think about what time you have to get up and how late you have to go home."
"Then I won't study in the morning and evening."
Tan Wenbin: "..."
Tan Wenbin suddenly felt that what Brother Xiaoyuan said made sense.
If he dared to say the same thing as Tan Yunlong, his father would definitely take off his belt next.
"Brother Xiaoyuan, why don't you come to school when you are in a bad mood and the weather is bad."
"Okay."
In Li Zhuiyuan's view, how could he be ruined by delaying schooling?
"Damn it, I envy you so much, why can't I do this!"
Runsheng: "You don't have the brain."
"Shut up and concentrate on riding your car." Tan Wenbin began to think, "Brother Xiaoyuan, do you have any learning secrets to teach me?" Runsheng: "Your father has known that you have been living here for several days, so he is the first Did you mention studying for the first time? ”
"Oh, shut up!"
"Brother Binbin, I don't know how I can help you with your studies."
"For example, your learning method?"
"Do you need a method to learn...?"
Tan Wenbin spread his hands, his expression distorted, and asked in a strangely raised tone:
"Learning...doesn't require a method?"
"You need a way to kill someone."
"Ah..." Tan Wenbin was about to accept the reality, "Then can you help me explain the topic?"
"I can write you the process, which will make it faster. Then, I can also make up some questions for you and you can do them."
Tan Wenbin silently took out a cigarette and did not light it. He just put it in front of his nose and sniffed, then nodded: "Thank you, Brother Xiaoyuan, I will try my best to get into the same university as you."
< br>
Runsheng: "Then I will take you to college on a tricycle."
"Don't talk about the university first. You've ridden before. The department store is behind you. Turn around quickly."
The car stopped in front of the department store, and Runsheng picked up the chain and locked it.
Then, the three of them walked into the building, which was full of people.
Under the leadership of Tan Wenbin, the three of them quickly bought gifts.
What Li Zhuiyuan bought was a music box, and what he bought for Ali was a glass ornament. In addition, he also bought a silk scarf for Ali.
After buying, Tan Wenbin took the two of them to a nearby alley, where there were several vendors selling fried skewers.
"Boss, here comes the chicken skewers..."
Before he could order, Tan Wenbin saw a thin classmate surrounded by four men deep in the alley.
"Don't think that you can become arrogant just because Tan Wenbin is protecting you. Let me tell you, you are overthinking."
"Others are afraid of Tan Wenbin, but I'm not. Even if his father comes, I won't take it seriously!"
After being beaten and kicked repeatedly, the thin classmate quickly squatted in the corner and covered his head with both hands.
Tan Wenbin looked at Li Zhuiyuan: "Brother Xiaoyuan..."
"Your classmate?"
"Well, my deskmate is a very nice person, but he is a bit soft-tempered and easily bullied. Among these four guys, two are from other classes and two are from other schools. They often ask him for money."< br>
"Oh."
"Brother Xiaoyuan, Runsheng, you pretend not to know me."
After saying that, Tan Wenbin rushed forward quickly, ignoring the four people opposite him, and kicked one of them: "Fuck you!"
This kick has a family style.
Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but wonder, was Uncle Tan beating Binbin or spreading his martial arts?
After kicking one of them, the other three immediately came over to take action, and Tan Wenbin immediately fell into a group fight.
Mainly because he ran too fast and hit too fast, so fast that Li Zhuiyuan didn't have time to say anything.
"Brother Runsheng, help Binbin fight."
"Okay!"
Li Zhuiyuan turned around and said to the fried skewers boss: "Boss, twenty chicken skewers, three portions of fried tofu, both with sweet and spicy sauce."
After receiving Li Zhuiyuan's instructions, Runsheng walked forward step by step, twisting his neck while clenching his fists, making a crackling sound of his joints.
In his mind, a series of gangster movies flashed through his mind.
But just because he was thinking about the plot and moving slowly, Binbin was punched several times more.
However, the situation immediately changed after he joined.
I saw him reaching out to grab one, lifting it up, and then slapped that person's face back and forth, causing blood and teeth to fly.
After all, he knew better than to kill anyone, so he regretfully let go of his hand, and the man fell limply to the ground.
Such a violent scene left the other three stunned, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should go up or not.
Runsheng took the initiative to dispel their doubts, swooped forward, raised his arms like a bull, and knocked the two of them to the ground.
Then, one to the left and one to the right, each kicked them. The two of them were really kicked up, and each of them hit the wall and rolled down.
The last one saw this and immediately turned around to run away, but his speed was too slow. Runsheng accelerated and caught up with him, grabbed his neck and flipped him upside down, lifted him up in the air, drew a circle, and smashed him on the ground. on the ground.
"I'm coming!"
Tan Wenbin yelled, rushed up and punched and kicked the guy.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, he ran to the previous three people to make up for the damage.
Runsheng just looked at Tan Wenbin and kept saying "Ada, Aduo!"
Because Runsheng knew that if he took action again, he would easily be unable to hold back.
"Huh..."
Tan Wenbin finally finished the beating, and the four people lay on the ground wailing.
"Damn, it feels so good, it feels so good!"
Tan Wenbin raised his arms. Although he didn't see the death, he felt that it was worth it for the enjoyable beating.
After Tan Wenbin comforted the classmate, he and Runsheng ran back again. At this time, Li Zhuiyuan was already sitting at the simple wooden table next to the stall, eating skewers.
He was not worried at all. After all, Brother Runsheng could physically fight against ordinary mortal beings.
Tan Wenbin sat down and said excitedly: "Xiaoyuan, really, Runsheng is very suitable for the underworld. He will definitely be able to carve out a big territory and become the boss of the underworld!"
Li Zhuiyuan put down the sign, took out the paper from the cylinder on the table, and wiped his mouth: "Then he was caught by your father and thrown into prison."
"Uh..." Tan Wenbin was choked and could only lower his head and eat the skewers.
Runsheng lit a stick of incense and said, "Xiaoyuan said, there will be no future in the underworld."
"Well, just now Zheng Haiyang wanted to come over to thank you, and he said he wanted to treat us to skewers, but I pushed him away. His parents are sailors, and he usually lives with his grandparents."
We have to eat at noon, so this meal is just to satisfy our hunger.
Of course, these days, having a full meal with fried skewers is a luxury, and most children can only buy one or two to satisfy their cravings.
When he got home, Li Zhuiyuan saw Liu Yumei sitting there with deep thoughts.
What happened again?
When Li Zhuiyuan came over, Ah Li stood up and took the initiative to greet him.
When Liu Yumei saw this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that like last time, her granddaughter would ignore the boy and her condition would return.
Now it seems that I am worrying too much.
She felt that it was really difficult for her. She was actually worried that her granddaughter didn't go out to move things for the man.
"Ah Li, this is the gift I bought for you." Li Zhuiyuan handed the glass jewelry to Ah Li, "This is the silk scarf I bought for you."
Silk scarves are not expensive and are a popular traditional style in mainland TV and movies. Li Zhuiyuan thinks they match Ah Li's temperament very well. As for how to match them, he doesn't have to worry about them anyway.
After asking Aunt Liu to give Tan Wenbin the medicine, everyone set off to Cuicui's house. Li Zhuiyuan held Ali's hand and walked behind, while Runsheng and Tan Wenbin walked in front.
From afar, I saw Cuicui standing on the dam looking forward to it.
"Brother Yuanhou, you are here."
"Cui Cui, this is my gift, this is Ali's."
"This is ours."
"Thank you, thank you everyone."
Lunch was a replica of Li Sanjiang's house. Li Zhuiyuan and A Li sat at the same table, Runsheng sat at the same table alone, and the only one who could sit at the head table was Tan Wenbin.
Li Juxiang happily divided the dishes here and there.
Liu Jinxia picked up a glass of wine and drank it. She was quite happy to have a lively granddaughter's birthday, but she was used to being a bit disrespectful and muttered:
“It’s really a carrot meeting.”
After the meal, we had to stay for a while. Everyone was on the dam. Cuicui took out a rubber band and used two benches to hold it up.
The original intention was to invite Ah Li to dance, but Ah Li shook her head and refused.
Finally, Tan Wenbin danced with Cuicui. He danced really well. During this period, people had fewer entertainment options. Rubber band jumping was not just for girls, boys also played it.
While having fun, a man led a little boy up to the dam. It was business.
Liu Jinxia and Li Juxiang invited people into the back room.
After a while, the boy came out and stood on the side looking at Tan Wenbin and Cuicui.
"Do you want to play together?"
The boy nodded shyly.
Originally, Li Zhuiyuan didn't feel anything, and Ah Li didn't look at the boy specifically, which proved that the boy was very clean.
But as soon as the boy's shy expression appeared, Li Zhuiyuan lowered his eyelids.
He himself was good at observation and acting, so he could see that there were heavy traces of acting in the changes in the boy's expression.
Sure enough, after playing rubber band together, the boy started chatting with Cuicui. During the chat, he found out a lot about the situation in Liu Jinxia's family.
Li Zhuiyuan felt that he was pretending to be a child.
However, Li Zhuiyuan didn't think that the boy was a fellow patient like him. The disease he and Li Lan suffered was still very rare. No psychiatrist in Beijing had ever seen it. The only one who might be considered the third one now was Wei Zhengdao.
Li Zhuiyuan began to carefully observe the boy's face. The database "Yin Yang Physiology Essay" in his mind could make a matching and comparison even if it did not count fortunes.
Sure enough, there was a problem. Although the boy looked about ten years old, traces of "growth rings" could be seen in his eyebrows, skin, cochlea, teeth and other details.
He's not a boy at all, he's a dwarf!
A person with an adult's thinking pretends to be a child and chats with another little girl in clichés. This makes people feel uncomfortable and wrong no matter what.
"Cui Cui."
"Here we come, brother Yuanhou."
Cuicui came over immediately.
"Don't play with him."
"Okay, brother Yuanhou." Cuicui didn't ask why, just nodded.
"Pfft...hehehe." Next to him, Tan Wenbin laughed out loud. This was the first time he saw Li Zhuiyuan say such words that were suitable for children of this age group.
Li Zhuiyuan ignored him and looked at the boy. At this moment, the boy was also looking at him.
The boy was showing a sense of grievance at being isolated and excluded, and he was deliberately letting Cuicui see it, so that the soft-hearted girl would come back to him.
Cuicui saw it, and Cuicui indeed softened her heart, but Cuicui had no intention of talking to him again.
She lacked friends, but she cherished them even more. If Yuanhou’s brother didn’t want her to play with anyone, then she would never play with anyone.
Li Zhuiyuan caught a trace of resentment in the boy's eyes.
Oh, this man is so disgusting.
At the same time, Li Zhuiyuan also began to wonder, is he also so disgusting?
But he is different from him. His biological age is this age. He performs in order not to lose himself. And no matter what, he is just maintaining the look he should have at his age.
But the other party's actual age, Li Zhuiyuan guessed, was probably in his fifties.
What is the motive behind a fifty-year-old man disguising himself as a child to initiate contact with a little girl?
"Woo woo woo... woo woo woo..."
The boy squatted on the ground and cried.
But despite crying, no one paid any attention to him. He wanted the people on the dam to listen to Li Zhuiyuan's words.
The boy stopped crying. He stood up and walked towards Li Zhuiyuan.
"Brother Runsheng."
"Hey!"
Runsheng came over in time, reached out to lift the boy up, and placed him far away. Then he pointed at him and gave him a silent warning.
The boy didn't dare to cry anymore, so he lowered his head and stood there.
After a while, the man came out. The two did look alike. In the eyes of outsiders, they were father and son.
However, the identities of father and son have to be reversed.
Liu Jinxia and Li Juxiang also came out and sent the father and son out of Bazi.
"Brother Binbin." Li Zhuiyuan pointed to the direction in which the father and son left, "Follow a section of the road and observe to avoid being discovered."
"Understood."
Although he didn't understand why, Tan Wenbin followed him anyway. It was easy for him to find a sense of immersion in the atmosphere.
"Drink soda." Li Juxiang brought a box of soda and placed it on the dam.
Li Zhuiyuan asked: "Aunt Xianghou, why did they come just now?"
"The man's wife has been gone for a year, and he is going to have a birthday party for her. Cui Cui and I are invited to hold one at home."
Xiao Mingshou means that he can only do things but not hold a banquet. He usually cooks something for his family.
"It's so strange. I've invited you all, but there's no dinner party."
"Maybe it's because he's not popular in the village and can't handle it. That man has a bit of a weird temper."
"What's wrong?"
"Grandma Cuicui asked some specific things, but he couldn't answer. After asking a few more times, he still felt aggrieved, as if he was going to cry. How can a grown man be like this?"
< br>
"Aunt Xianghou, can you not go to his house to do something?"
"How can that be done? The money has already been collected."
Tan Wenbin ran back, frowned and said to Li Zhuiyuan: "Xiaoyuan, guess what I just saw. Not far after they walked out, on the side of the road, the father actually handed his son a cigarette to light. ”
"Oh." Li Zhuiyuan was not surprised, "Did you hear what they said?"
"It's not easy to get close on the road. They came with a tractor. The tractor was parked at the intersection in front of us. It's gone now."
Li Zhuiyuan walked into the house and opened the door to the inner room. Liu Jinxia was sitting behind the table calculating something with a pen.
"Xiao Yuanhou, what's going on?"
Li Zhuiyuan walked to the table and glanced at the eight characters written on the paper in front of Liu Jinxia. He picked up another pen and wrote the result on it.
Liu Jinxia glanced at it and said doubtfully: "What are you writing blindly?"
Obviously, Liu Jinxia didn't know the correct answer. She had been just calculating according to her own set of algorithms. Whether it was correct or not was secondary. The main thing was that she had tried her best.
"Grandma Liu, are the couple just now father and son?"
"What else could they be if they weren't father and son? Their facial features were carved from the same mold. It's a pity that my mother left early."
"Grandma Liu, that man is the son, and that boy is the father. He is at least fifty years old, and he is a dwarf."
"Dwarf?"
"That's the kind of person who doesn't grow taller."
"Oh...really?"
"Brother Binbin just followed them out and overheard their conversation. The man called the child daddy, and the child called the man his good son.
I didn't believe it at first, but Brother Binbin said that he could swear to God that they really talked like that. ”
"This..."
"So, if the relationship between father and son is reversed, what is the meaning of a birthday for a woman?"
"Yeah."
"Grandma Liu, to be on the safe side, you'd better not go with Aunt Xianghou and return the money to them."
Liu Jinxia nodded slowly and seriously:
"Okay."
This promise made Li Zhuiyuan feel a little off guard and uncomfortable.
Probably because I have been with my great-grandfather for a long time, I have become accustomed to not listening to whatever my great-grandfather says.
"Are you really not going? Are you here to fool the children?"
Liu Jinxia opened the drawer, took out the money she just received, slapped it on the table, and said angrily:
"What my family told me is wrong. Doesn't this make it clear that there is something wrong with doing the fasting sincerely? How could I still take Xiang Hou to his house? What would happen if I didn't protect everything.
Only a fool would go! ”
Li Zhuiyuan felt very comfortable all of a sudden.
"Xiao Yuanhou, thank you for coming to tell grandma this."
"Grandma Liu, don't you ask Brother Binbin anymore, or ask someone to go to their village and ask again?"
"It's not necessary. The most important thing in our business is to have good luck. Even if what you just said is false, but you, a bastard, came over and said it as soon as I took the job, even if it is false... ...I don’t dare to go either.
As for my life, I still hope to live a few more years to give you Aunt Xianghou and Cuicui some savings in the future. I'm not your grandfather, so I don't dare to do anything wrong. ”
Li Zhuiyuan nodded, he was convinced.
When he said goodbye to Cuicui and walked home, Li Zhuiyuan was in a good mood, holding the girl's hand and swaying it unconsciously.
Soon, the girl responded. She also started to increase her strength and swayed her hands together.
Tan Wenbin looked back and suggested: "Brother Xiaoyuan, it's still early. I see there is a fishing rod in the house. How about we go fishing now?"
"Not going."
"Oh, then Runsheng and I will go fishing."
Runsheng: "I won't go either."
"I found out, you just say whatever Brother Xiaoyuan says, why are you like a follower."
"I didn't call you brother."
Tan Wenbin: "..."
When he got home, he saw Li Sanjiang sitting on the dam. He stood up and said to Runsheng: "Runsheng, there was a call from the canteen just now. Come on, here comes the work. Let's go to Xiting Town to fish for death."< br>
"Hey, okay, eh? Didn't my father go fishing?"
Runsheng's family is in Xiting Town, and it would be normal for his grandfather to just take it away if he dies.
"I get angry when I talk about this. I just found out through the phone that your grandfather came home from playing cards last week and went to a neighbor's house to use the toilet. He fell into a manure tank. The neighbor heard the noise and threw it He fished it out.
Although he was fine, he broke a leg.
That mountain gun is embarrassing to say, but it has been hiding it from us! ”
