Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1162 - 211:

The ground was already accumulating water up to knee level.

On the corpse stage, the female corpse was completely frozen, the body did not rot, but the array inside the corpse stage had long stopped functioning, and the jade pendant used to keep the body from decaying had shattered, its last effort freezing the female corpse.

If I hadn't come, it wouldn't be long before the corpse thawed and rotted, the tomb would be filled with lake water, and the corpse along with the accompanying burial items would be swept into the lake.

"This array is indeed crude."

Having seen it once in memory, and now witnessing it in reality, Li Zhiyuan confirmed, that scholar... was actually just someone who liked dressing up as a "Run Sheng" who reads.

"Brother Runsheng, there, there, and over there..."

Li Zhiyuan gave a slew of instructions in one breath, and after hearing them, Run Sheng simply responded, "Got it!"

Run Sheng started excavating the tomb, first letting the accumulated water out, then rearranging the array flags according to the young man's instructions.

Li Zhiyuan focused on modifying the array on the corpse stage.

After everything was completed, Li Zhiyuan activated the newly arranged arrays, with the Array Eye positioned in the west, resonating with the tides of Taihu Lake, borrowing the momentum of Taihu Lake to maintain the array for a longer period.

After completing these tasks, Li Zhiyuan and Run Sheng together tidied up the burial items that had been submerged or scattered, and Run Sheng used the Yellow River Shovel to remove the silt, making the entire tomb room much fresher.

Run Sheng, leaning on the shovel, said, "It's better to burn it to ashes, saves the cleaning efforts."

Li Zhiyuan: "You better not say that to your grandpa."

Mr. Shan and Grandmaster had already chosen their longevity coffins and auspicious grave sites, waiting for burial.

Li Zhiyuan added, "And don't tell Meng Meng that either."

Upon hearing this, Run Sheng laughed.

Those who make coffins have a natural aversion to cremation.

Li Zhiyuan actually supports cremation, not only saving land but also significantly reducing the risk of corpses turning into Deadman or Zombies.

Yet each generation has its own thoughts and perceptions, that scholar could accept being turned to ashes himself, but his heart still hoped for his beloved wife's corpse to be properly preserved.

Li Zhiyuan: "Alright, let's go back."

After coming out, Run Sheng restored the entrance.

Initially, they didn't see Liu Changping, but after a while, Liu Changping sneaked over, lowered his voice and said:

"Let's go, I just checked, there's no one around."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Run Sheng's hiking bag, full when they came and still full now, with no way to tell if any treasures were dug out.

Driving back, Liu Changping seemed a bit unsettled, his lips moved a few times, but ultimately he didn't ask anything.

Upon reaching Nantong, Li Zhiyuan signaled Liu Changping to first drive to the city department store, where he went in to buy some maternity and baby supplies, then asked Liu Changping to drive to the riverside.

This place, Liu Changping knew well.

Li Zhiyuan gestured for Run Sheng to stay in the car, then disembarked with the purchased items.

Walking to the riverside, he first took out a piece of talisman paper and tossed it. The talisman paper spontaneously combusted and drifted onto the river's surface.

Soon, accompanied by a "gurgling" sound, a water screen rose from the river, revealing a woman in an elegant white long dress, her belly slightly bulging, not visibly pregnant.

It seemed the child would not be easy to give birth to.

The woman retreated three steps, placed her hands in front, prepared for a solemn bow.

"No need."

"Yes."

The woman slightly lowered her head, not daring to look directly.

Although Xue Liangliang hadn't called for this task, since he was back, Li Zhiyuan felt he should bring a gift and greet them.

Originally, this task should have been handled by Tan Wenbin, but since Tan Wenbin wasn't around, Li Zhiyuan's presence might pressure the other side too much.

After tossing the gift into the river, it was enveloped by a layer of special water flow and rapidly submerged.

Li Zhiyuan said nothing more and turned to leave.

Behind him, the woman finished a ceremonial bow she didn't manage earlier, addressing it to the young man.

Once the young man's figure disappeared from view, she slowly sank and immersed herself beneath the river's surface.

Next, it was time to return to Si Yuan Village.

Li Zhiyuan was about to calculate the day's car fare for Liu Changping when Liu Changping's pager went off.

"My wife, I need to make a call."

Parking by a roadside convenience store, Liu Changping got out to return the call, and shortly after, he excitedly ran back, seemingly forgetting he was the driver and actually began tapping on the car window.

Li Zhiyuan rolled down the window.

Liu Changping: "Haha, my wife is pregnant, my wife is pregnant!"

This joyful news instantly washed away the morning's shroud of possibly accompanying a grave robbing.

He was grinning foolishly as he drove Li Zhiyuan and Run Sheng back to Si Yuan Village, and mid-way, Li Zhiyuan tried to give him the car fare, which he declined, saying today was celebratory, no charge.

Li Zhiyuan didn't insist further.

Stopping the car at Li Sanjiang's house, Liu Changping cheerfully shouted to Li Sanjiang sitting in the yard:

"Mr. Li, my wife's pregnant, I'm going to be a dad!"

Li Sanjiang laughed and said, "Oh, that's wonderful news, come, let's have a drink... actually, you should head back, drive safely on the way."

"Then I'll be off, Mr. Li."

Liu Changping backed the car out and drove away from the village.

It was quite a coincidence; he felt that each time he drove for this group, he always received good news.

From meeting someone special, to marriage, and now pregnancy, they had covered him through every stage.

In the yard, Li Sanjiang cheerfully said, "That lad, he looks silly with joy, wishing he were driving a rocket instead of a taxi."

Saying this, Li Sanjiang instinctively glanced at Li Zhiyuan, and then naturally started searching for the girl's figure.
