Corpse Recovery Diver

Two exquisite graves, one large and one small, and the roof of the main house cracked simultaneously!

"Oh no, oh no!"

Li Sanjiang couldn't care about kowtowing anymore; he rushed forward to inspect and then instructed Tan Wenbin to call the village mason to come over. He needed to fix it for the people before nightfall.

When Li Zhiyuan returned home, he found that Liu Jinxia had come, and Aunt Xiang Hou was helping in the kitchen.

Liu Jinxia, known for her fiery temper all her life, spoke in a soft tone in front of Liu Yumei. She had heard more household gossip than anyone else, as her family alone was a book of stories.

As she narrated, Liu Yumei listened with keen interest.

Cui Cui and Alii were playing a game of chess on the second-floor terrace.

"Brother Yuanhou, hehe, look, this bracelet was given to me by Sister Alii. Is it pretty?"

Cui Cui showed the wooden bracelet on her left wrist to Li Zhiyuan.

The color of the bracelet… closely resembled the "complexion" of the ancestors of the Qin and Liu Families.

Li Zhiyuan glanced at it and then looked at Alii.

Being able to shift one's attention from a single person outward was in itself a sign of recovery.

Li Zhiyuan once thought of finding a piece made of hard gold to suppress the Life Chart on Cui Cui, though the wooden bracelet wouldn't bring long-term effects, it could at least be effective for some years.

"Cui Cui, you should wear this bracelet every day and not take it off."

"Of course, I wouldn't bear to take it off."

Before the New Year's dinner, Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou went to call home to offer New Year wishes, and Xue Liangliang also pulled Li Zhiyuan to call Mr. Luo.

Tan Wenbin first called his father, then let Lin Shuyou call his home.

On the other end, it was very lively with drums and gongs; during the New Year, there were many temple activities, and even the temple's Divination Child had begun Divination, bestowing blessings and dispelling ill omens for the "patients."

Answering the call was Lin Shuyou's grandfather, who was giving earnest advice to Lin Shuyou.

Right after a ceremony ended, people began thanking the child, saying Lord Child had worked hard.

Beside him, Li Zhiyuan was talking to Xue Liangliang about his itinerary during the day. Upon learning that Xue Liangliang had especially taken his parents to the riverside to pay respects, Li Zhiyuan said:

"You worked hard too."

An exclamation immediately came from Lin Shuyou on the other end of the call.

"Oh no, the Lord Child has collapsed, collapsed!"

Lin Shuyou's grandfather quickly said, "Something's happened at the temple, stay safe in Nantong for the New Year, the family is well, don't worry." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

After saying this, he immediately hung up to address the issue.

Lin Shuyou blinked and hung up the phone.

Next, Xue Liangliang called Mr. Luo, and along with Li Zhiyuan, they extended New Year wishes to him.

In a typical teacher-student relationship, this wouldn't be necessary, but they were special, a master is like a father who genuinely cares about the child's future.

Xue Liangliang had bought plenty of fireworks in advance, and they were all the box-sized type.

After the New Year's dinner, everyone began setting off fireworks.

Nowadays, except for the small firecrackers that children play with, fireworks are still considered a luxury. In the countryside, only families doing well would buy some fireworks to set off, and even then, it wouldn't last long.

At Li Sanjiang Dam, tonight became the most eye-catching place in the village; many villagers came out from home to enjoy the fireworks nearby.

After one batch was done, they would bring out another from inside the house; everyone took turns indulging, and they could even choose the style of fireworks.

Even Tan Wenbin couldn't help but curiously ask Xue Liangliang, "Brother Liang, just how many fireworks did you buy?"

Xue Liangliang shrugged, "Plenty enough."

Tan Wenbin gave a thumbs-up, "Brother Liang is generous."

Then Tan Wenbin leaned closer and whispered, "That must've cost a lot, right?"

Everyone knew Xue Liangliang had money, but he wasn't keen on doing business, so even with money, he shouldn't be this extravagant.

Xue Liangliang: "According to Western economic development patterns, I believe the domestic stock market will surely establish itself, so last year I asked a friend to help collect many stock subscription certificates."

Tan Wenbin: "Are these things worth a lot now?"

Xue Liangliang: "Not bad."

Under the endless fireworks, Li Zhiyuan and Alii stood hand in hand on the second-floor terrace.

Li Zhiyuan looked at the dazzling fireworks in the sky, then the sparkle in the girl's eyes.

"Next year, I'll be very busy and will travel often."

The girl didn't speak; she just gently squeezed the boy's hand in response.

"But after every busy time, I will still come back."

The girl turned around to face the boy.

"You see Brother Liang, he used to be busy, but it didn't stop him from returning to Nantong, following him, my returning frequency won't be low either."

The girl lowered her head, and the boy lowered his head too, their foreheads lightly touching.

"Are they still noisy?"

The girl closed her eyes.

The boy closed his eyes as well.

In the next moment, Li Zhiyuan appeared in Alii's dream.

Outside, the dense fog retreated to an extremely distant place; at first glance, it seemed like clouds hanging on the horizon.

Li Zhiyuan held Alii's hand and stepped over the threshold.

The boy took the white lantern plugged in the wall crack and led the girl onward.

This was a wilderness, this was a stream, the scenery here should've been beautiful, just like a girl who could grow up healthy.

As Li Zhiyuan continued to advance, the distant fog kept rolling, seeming to swarm backward, not daring to approach, let alone take the lead.

Afraid that a moment's carelessness might get caught by the lantern in the boy's hand.

Few cared about the process, most only saw the result, and they were one of the "results."

Although Li Zhiyuan's reputation in the Jianghu remained obscure, under these hidden currents of the Jiang Shui, this group of "snakes and rats" had started to be afraid of him.

Just like in reality, Liu Yumei's relaxation and happiness.

Because the Dragon King's Court of the Qin and Liu Families is being reestablished step by step.

It won't be long,

The whole Jianghu will once again recall the terror when Dragon King Qin and Dragon King Liu stood there.

In Li Zhiyuan's palm, Karmic Fire ignited, burning the white lantern.

The boy threw it forward, and the lantern burst open, turning into a splendid colorful glow, stirring the surrounding clouds and mist into a frenzy.

The fireworks in this dream were truly no less spectacular than reality.

Li Zhiyuan clapped his hands, looked up, observing the colorful clouds painted by the fireworks.

He said:

"Hide well, from today on, it's my turn to find you."
