Although snoring in sleep is not a good thing, hearing this strong and powerful snore, it's clear that Grandmaster's body is still quite vigorous.
Walking to the bedside, helped Grandmaster tuck in his quilt.
Grandmaster squinted his drunken eyes at Li Zhiyuan and smiled: "Little Yuanhou~"
Then, he tilted his head and fell asleep again, probably thinking he was dreaming after getting drunk.
Li Zhiyuan walked out of Grandmaster's bedroom and went to the next room, which is his own bedroom.
The door was open, and Li Zhiyuan saw Xue Liangliang sitting in the chair, holding a bottle of white wine in his left hand and a cup in his right, still drinking by himself.
"Xiao Yuan, you finally ca back, Xiao Yuan!"
Xue Liangliang was obviously drunk too. Seeing Li Zhiyuan return, he put down the wine bottle and cup, stood up, and then felt the world spinning, unable to stand steadily.
Li Zhiyuan took advantage of the mont to push him towards the bed, Xue Liangliang staggered to the bedside, and with a "thud," he fell onto the bed and directly laid there asleep.
There was no way around it, so Li Zhiyuan had to tuck him in as well.
After receiving Xue Liangliang's call for help, Li Zhiyuan promised him he would co back and asked him to wait at Grandpa's house.
Who would have thought that when Grandmaster saw Xue Liangliang, he would drink with him from noon.
With wine cos stories, the more they drank, the more they had to say, and since Xue Liangliang was also just heartbroken, the two got completely drunk.
Alright then, just let it be for now.
Li Zhiyuan went downstairs, pointed to the child in Lihua's arms, and then pointed to Xiao Yingying.
"Give the child to her."
Lihua gulped, what, give the child to a dead fall girl?
In the past, whoever dared to say sothing like that in front of her would definitely be thought of as crazy, and she would twist their head off!
But since it was Li Zhiyuan's order, Lihua had no choice but to comply.
Seeing his wife moving slowly, Xiong Shan gave her a push and urged: "Hurry up, what are you dazing for, we've got proper business to attend to."
He saw through even more.
Silly wife, are you still worried she's up to no good with your son? Isn't this exactly what we want!
Lihua understood, placing the child on the stool next to Xiao Yingying.
Xiao Yingying didn't even look, continuing to focus earnestly on coloring the paperman.
Li Zhiyuan then signaled Liu Changping to drive, taking himself and Xiong Shan couple to Big Beard's house.
The four had eaten lunch on the road, and now it wasn't quite ti for another al, so naturally they weren't hungry.
Moreover, it was necessary to settle Xiong Shan and his wife at Grandmaster's place, but more importantly, the earth temple couldn't be left unvisited.
The couple had just left Jianghu, and their Jianghu habits and instincts still needed ti to fade away, lest they inadvertently cause a disturbance here, inexplicably turning into two boiled shrimps with shells peeled off.
After the four people left by car, Xiao Yingying put down her paintbrush.
She turned her head to look at the child beside her.
The child was sucking his thumb, grinning at her.
Xiao Yingying reached out to pick up the child, then gently rocked him in her arms.
The child laughed even more happily, then habitually reached out to grab Xiao Yingying's chest as if asking for milk.
Xiao Yingying could only repeatedly grab the child's hand and put it back, but the child was persistently trying to grab. Xiao Yingying had to continue trying to balance with him.
Finally, Xiao Yingying got angry, her gaze widened, her originally pale face instantly turned blue, and her hair began to grow longer, with damp mist erging.
The child paused for a mont, then burst into even louder laughter, thinking she was playing facial gas with him.
Xiao Yingying's body slumped, her face and hair returned to normal, looked at him sowhat helplessly, then continued to rock him.
Liu Changping hung around the car, smoking, while Li Zhiyuan led the Xiong Shan couple to Big Beard's yard, facing the Peach Forest.
Li Zhiyuan: "A senior is buried here."
The Xiong Shan couple imdiately began to pay their respects, without naively asking whether the buried senior was dead or alive.
Because if he were truly dead, there wouldn't be any need to bring them here specifically.
The Peach Forest was silent.
Li Zhiyuan reminded: "After you settle down here, find so ti to conduct a ritual here, and during holidays or when you have nothing else to do, you can also co to burn paper and offer respects, as courtesy never offends."
For it is because of it that the ho is protected and safe."
Xiong Shan, Lihua: "We shall rember this."
Though not explicitly stated, the very fact that it made the Dragon King family say 'courtesy never offends' speaks volus of the being buried here, certainly no less significant than that General.
Perhaps, the so-called senior buried here isn't even human, but a terrifying Fierce Beast guarding the ho!
Li Zhiyuan: "Let's go, to the riverbank."
Liu Changping drove, guided by the young man, taking everyone onto the road by the riverbank.
Upon reaching the destination, Li Zhiyuan signaled Liu Changping to park the car further away. Liu Changping, though curious, complied.
Li Zhiyuan led Xiong Shan and Lihua to the riverbank; by this ti, it was nearing dusk, and the river water began to wave towards the shore, splashing white foam.
Once, it was here that Li Zhiyuan watched Uncle Qin take off his clothes and leap into the river.
While he himself could only stay on the shore, guarding the clothes.
Now, revisiting the old place, it indeed felt like everything has changed.
He recalled setting up a small altar at ho with Brother Liangliang back then, just to resolve the entanglent with a certain Bai Family's Lady, asking her to stop haunting.
But this ti, there was no altar set, no candles lit, and no offerings made.
Li Zhiyuan took out a piece of yellow paper in front of him, and it ignited on its own.
The young man said in a deep voice:
"Bai family, co out and see imdiately!"
After saying the words, he tossed the yellow paper, which floated onto the river surface without extinguishing, but quickly sank to the bottom, and you could see the dissipating light continuing down from the shore.
Soon after, bubbles erged from the river surface, and then continued to spurt up like a fountain, gradually revealing a woman in a red bridal dress and phoenix crown.
"I have been entrusted by another to inquire about sothing, why can't Xue Liangliang descend?"
"Only because I, myself, am already pregnant."
