Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1325 - 241_5

Li Zhiyuan touched his nose; actually, they didn't dare let Yin Meng near the stove.

However, not cooking is indeed quite unusual in the rural dating market. It's not expected for you to create gourmet dishes, but you should at least be able to muddle through.

At this moment, Li Zhiyuan felt Alii's hand tighten slightly.

Li Zhiyuan glanced at the girl and immediately said, "Alii, you don't need to learn how to cook."

Li Sanjiang asked in surprise, "Little Yuanhou, does Lan Hou not cook at home?"

"No, when dad was home, it was always dad who cooked."

Later, when dad exiled himself, I could only go to eat at various houses in the family compound.

"Wow, Lan Hou is really lazy."

Li Lan wasn't lazy; she gradually lost her emotions towards food. In her eyes, food was only about nutritional value; she didn't need to care about taste preferences.

After walking around, on their way back, Li Zhiyuan's pager went off; it was Brother Liangliang paging him.

The gift for the Bai Family's Lady had already been delivered, and the photo album Deng Chen shot was also sent by Liu Changping, so Li Zhiyuan thought this contact should be about work.

Could it be another clue about Langhua?

"Grandmaster, I need to return a call."

"Okay, you go ahead. I'll head back and urge Shan Hou and the others to load the goods."

Li Zhiyuan took Alii to Aunt Zhang's convenience store.

"Oh, so lovely." Aunt Zhang opened a bag of snacks and handed them to Alii.

Alii didn't take them.

Li Zhiyuan helped by taking them over and handed them to Alii, explaining to Aunt Zhang, "She is shy around strangers."

Aunt Zhang: "I see, what a pity."

In fact, Aunt Zhang had already heard that there was a beautiful girl in the village, rarely seen outside, who was mute.

In Alii's vision, the convenience store was a wide-open mouth filled with blood, and Aunt Zhang, smiling, was the snake demon swimming within the mouth.

When Aunt Zhang handed the receiver to the young man, it was like the snake demon handing a long, red tongue to him.

Alii closed her eyes, sensing the warmth of the young man's palm. When she opened her eyes again, the blood-filled mouth was gone, and Aunt Zhang had returned to normal.

Li Zhiyuan's call connected, and Xue Liangliang's voice came from the other end:

"Hey, Xiao Yuan?"

"It's me, Brother Liangliang."

"So, Xiao Yuan, do you have some free time lately?"

"Brother Liangliang, go ahead and say what it's about."

"It's about a project over in Rong City; there was a bit of an incident. The higher-ups want to send someone over for technical support. I looked at the report, and something feels a bit off. If you have time, you can take a trip over to check it out."

"Alright, I'll go."

"You agreed?"

"Yes, could you be more specific about the location?"

"It's in Dujiangyan, next to Rong City, which is managed by Rong City."

"Okay, got it. I'll make arrangements to leave soon."

"Alright, then I'll notify them about you, Binbin, and Ah You's identities. You all just need to bring your IDs and do the handover directly when you get there."

"Okay."

"By the way... Xiao Yuan, do you need me to go with you?"

"Can you come?"

"Of course, I can, but I'm afraid I might not be able to help much and instead become a burden."

"Last time in Guizhou, Brother Liangliang, you were a great help."

In the end, it was Brother Liangliang who dived underwater again and again, bringing everyone to shore.

"So, Xiao Yuan, you mean, this time I can..."

"There's no need for you to come this time."

"Oh..."

"Busy lately?"

"Busy, yeah, lots of things. I still have to take my junior colleagues on internships. If you could..."

"This is my polite way of ending the call."

"Heh, you brat, alright, that's about it. You stay safe, and if you need anything, just let me know."

"Okay, Brother Liangliang, you've already been a great help to me."

The call ended.

This wasn't the first time I'd received a message about Langhua from Xue Liangliang.

When I went there, I could extract questions from Alii's dreams, relying on the heritage of the Qin and Liu Families.

So, the constant clues from Xue Liangliang, were they because of Xue Liangliang's own uniqueness?

It seems that forming connections with those possessing special fortunes can indeed positively push Walking River forward.

Of course, the premise is that the person sincerely acknowledges you and is willing to help. If you dare to use coercion, then be prepared for backlash.

However, this kind of help isn't one-way. I've actually helped Xue Liangliang avert disasters and solve problems too.

Li Zhiyuan thought, after going back later, I can add new insights to the "Walking River Behavior Regulations."

Luckily, I have a contrasting example to use as a "control group."

On one side is the heritage of the Qin and Liu Families and figures like Xue Liangliang and Grandmaster, and on the other, there's only one: Wei Zhengdao.

Currently, it seems that the negative effect of Wei Zhengdao on me is stronger.

He alone overshadows everything.

If it weren't for Wei Zhengdao, "the jewel ahead," I can't imagine how easy and joyful walking the river would be, growing up and lighting the lamp.

But,

that wouldn't be much fun either.

...

Earlier, Run Sheng had seen from afar his grandfather talking to the old cypress tree in the yard, and by the time he biked home, the voice had become clear.

Mr. Shan pointed at the cypress tree, head held high, chest puffed out: "I am the elder, huh, do you hear me, I am the elder!"

Then, Mr. Shan took a step around and said to the old cypress tree again:

"Calm your temper, womanly temper, why is it so big? Isn't it said that women from Chuanyu are all very gentle?"

Finally, Mr. Shan said fiercely:

"If you're not a little gentler, be careful, our Marquis Runsheng won't want you! Hmph... I won't speak for you anymore!"
