Chapter 105
"Hehehe..."
Liu Yu Mei laughed out loud while eating preserved fruit.
After a friendly and cordial greeting at the hospital, Tan Wen Bin still invited the two to Old Sichuan for grilled fish.
The conversation at the table was lively, but it was basically all the same routine.
For example, they first inquired about the traditional culture of the official general first, expressing extreme curiosity about this line of work. Then the topic would suddenly shift, asking how many temples there were in the area and if the incense fire would be insufficient if the temples were too numerous.
Another example: they would first talk about the upright and not arrogant character of Lin Shu You. They said there was a classmate in the dormitory who dared to raise a ghost to guard the door. Lin Shu You was so angry that he invited Bai He Tong Zi to possess him and almost beat that classmate to death.
Tan Wen Bin: "To me, those who raise ghosts are truly wicked and evil!"
Lin Fu An and Chen Shou Men also chimed in agreement.
Tan Wen Bin: "So our family's Dragon King knew the error of his ways. He gave the ghost used to guard the door a superdegree."
Lin Fu An and Chen Shou Men's expressions changed upon hearing this.
In short, this set of procedures was repeated back and forth, tormenting them until the meal was finished. When the two left the restaurant and walked out, their legs were trembling, and their faces were pale.
Tan Wen Bin even helped them call a taxi. The two returned to Fujian overnight, not even saying goodbye to Lin Shu You.
Liu Yu Mei sipped a mouthful of rice wine and said, "You brat, you really know how to torment people."
"Isn't it all thanks to your good teaching, old lady?"
"I didn't teach you this."
"You just taught me this afternoon that a person's life is always about constantly picking up and letting go. I just tried it on them first and stirred them up."
"Smooth talker."
"Then should I slap my mouth?"
"Okay, I'm comfortable listening to this. Let's put this matter aside. You handled things well. Grandma, I am very satisfied."
"Dare not take credit. Others are afraid of the temple being demolished, they're not afraid of me, they're afraid of you, Grandma, behind me."
"Not bad."
"Furthermore, even a good routine loses its effect if used too much, people become numb.
In the first half, they were truly afraid. By the end, they must have gradually figured it out. If we were really planning to demolish their temple, would I still be nagging and saying so much here?
In the end, I was talking, and they were just cooperating and acting surprised and startled.
When they left the restaurant, their walking posture was too exaggerated. They weren't acting well. A You's grandfather secretly pinched his thigh hard, forcing his eye sockets to turn red."
"Not bad."
"They were acting for me to see, wanting to use my mouth to say it to you, to make you happy and dispel your anger."
"Very good."
"Heh heh."
Liu Yu Mei handed the wine cup in her hand to Tan Wen Bin: "Reward for you."
There was originally a pair of these cups. This afternoon, the old lady personally pinched one and broke it.
Tan Wen Bin took the cup, poured half a cup of rice wine into it, drank it down in one gulp, and then put the cup back on the tea table:
"Thank you, Grandma. This rice wine is quite sweet."
Liu Yu Mei leaned back slightly, resting on the chair, and said faintly, "It seems you have high standards and look down on Grandma's little offerings. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Normally, listening to your teachings and having a few meals at your home is already taking a huge advantage. As for other things, I can't want them. After all, I follow Yuan Zi brother, how can I accept... accept things from outsiders?"
"Is Grandma an outsider?"
"It depends on who you discuss it with."
"I'm tired, I want to rest."
"Then I'll go. I'll come back tomorrow to listen to your teachings."
Tan Wen Bin stood up. After pouring the remaining preserved fruits and dried fruits on the tea table into his pocket, he walked out.
Walking to the door, he heard the old lady's voice behind him:
"Very good, keep it clear."
Tan Wen Bin paused for a moment, smiled, and walked out the door and down the stairs.
Walking into the courtyard, he first went and knocked on Run Sheng's coffin, asking if he was bored;
Then he went to Yin Meng's end and asked if she was pickled enough.
By the time he finished greeting everyone, Li Zhui Yuan also walked out of A Li's room, carrying a backpack and holding Lin Shu You's schoolbag in his hand.
Tan Wen Bin reached out and took it. This time, Li Zhui Yuan did not refuse.
The two walked side by side towards the dormitory.
Tan Wen Bin did not specifically talk to Li Zhui Yuan about the official general first matter, because he knew that Xiao Yuan brother was not interested in that. He just simply mentioned that the two had already returned.
"Xiao Yuan brother, what is the name of the cup the old lady used to drink wine?"
"Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cylinder Cup."
"The old lady pinched one and broke it today."
"The remaining one is more valuable."
"Wu... how much is it worth?"
"If you're not short of food now, don't be in a hurry to sell it. After you sell it, you won't be short of food for several generations."
"That's probably quite a bit."
"Does it hurt?"
Li Zhui Yuan guessed what had happened. Grandma Liu had a habit; when she was in a good mood, she would give away the objects beside her.
"It doesn't hurt, I just wanted to ask about it so I can brag when I'm old and chatting with people by the roadside."
"Um."
"Xiao Yuan brother, if Run Sheng and Yin Meng continue to train like this, will there really be no problems?"
"There will be problems."
"What are the side effects?"
"Damage to Yang energy."
Any quick-fix training method will bring the side effect of overdrawing life.
Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu must, in a short period of time, let them both experience their respective specialties once, to facilitate their future exploration and advancement. This is an overdraft type of inheritance.
"Then in the future..."
"Accumulate virtue and supplement life."
Tan Wen Bin licked his lips and laughed: "Then I've made a big profit. There's no damage that needs supplementing, I'll only keep adding, ha ha."
The late-night wind, after blowing past the two of them, blew for several more days.
The sun was shining brightly. On the school playground, Li Zhui Yuan sat on the corner stairs holding a book.
The military training freshmen, grouped by class, were lined up below, and would soon be reviewed.
When the school leaders started speaking, Li Zhui Yuan flipped open the first page.
By the time he finished reading one book, the vice-principals were still not finished speaking.
Fortunately, Li Zhui Yuan had prepared in advance. He brought two books.
But the facts proved that he underestimated the leaders' strong desire to express themselves.
After finishing the second book, the last vice-principal had just finished speaking, and there were still leaders at the next level, directors, and outstanding teacher representatives.
Just the opening segment, "In this season of golden winds bringing coolness and fragrant autumn osmanthus, we gather here..."
Every leader, with different words, repeated the praise of autumn round after round.
Finally, the review began. Each class passed under the rostrum in a square formation, displaying their military training achievements and spirit.
The reason Li Zhui Yuan came was because Tan Wen Bin was also in the square formation.
Tan Wen Bin only participated in military training for a short time, and then he kept asking for leave. After all, he had continuously injured Lin Shu You and was always getting leave slips approved for him.
Each time the instructor went to the medical room to check and confirmed that there was no mistake, he could only sigh that this child was too unlucky and had fallen from the dormitory building twice just after starting school.
Tan Wen Bin originally thought he didn't need to participate. He wasn't well trained, and joining the square formation team would easily disrupt the rhythm and affect the class score.
But the new counselor was a very opinionated person. He strongly requested that Tan Wen Bin participate in the final review.
Moreover, after discussing with the instructor, the new counselor put Tan Wen Bin and Lin Shu You at the very front of the team. Even the flag bearer holding the class flag had to stand behind the two of them.
Tan Wen Bin was required to hold up the certificate issued by the police station.
Lin Shu You originally had no major problems with his body, but the new counselor required him to re-tie some bandages and hand him a crutch, asking him to walk forward using the crutch.
Originally, the new counselor planned to give him two, but Lin Shu You walked too fast with one crutch, looking very lively, so he took one back, making it look like he was physically disabled but mentally strong.
The class square formation's slogan was also very interesting, not like other classes' "Class One, Class One, always extraordinary."
But: "Love classmates, care and help each other; See justice and act bravely, take responsibility for society."
It didn't rhyme.
But when there was a real story behind it, whether it rhymed or not was secondary.
This was actually already considered "cheating."
And without suspense, this class got the first place score in the military training review.
Classmates and counselors from other classes were certainly green with envy, yet they were helpless. Moreover, because it involved a child trafficking incident, the strong moral sense suppressed them, and they couldn't even show it on their faces.
The instructors, on the other hand, were more accepting of this. They could understand better that sometimes, no matter how well you trained, if "merit" was destined for someone, it would just go to them. This was fate, and sometimes you really couldn't envy it.
After the review ended, each class returned to their original square formation positions.
The school leaders started speaking again, and the playground echoed again:
"In this season of golden winds bringing coolness, autumn osmanthus fragrant..."
The instructors then took this opportunity to organize the team behind and silently leave.
Li Zhui Yuan also picked up the book from the ground, not returning to the dormitory, but going to the classroom.
He would have a formal class meeting soon.
He was the first to enter the classroom and sat in the back row, in the corner by the window.
Classmates still wearing military training clothes came in and sat down. Li Zhui Yuan didn't know them, and they didn't know Li Zhui Yuan. Many people were still very surprised why a little brother was sitting here.
Tan Wen Bin and Lin Shu You came in one after another. Tan Wen Bin walked straight to Li Zhui Yuan's side and sat down. Lin Shu You still wanted to squeeze in, but Tan Wen Bin pointed to the front. Unable to do anything, Lin Shu You could only sit in the front row.
"Bin Bin brother, can I not throw this crutch away now?"
"Support it for two more days. If you throw it away now, people will easily gossip."
"Oh, okay then."
"Besides, why throw it away? Didn't you buy it with money? Just sell it. You can stand at the school store entrance and shout 'Selling crutches!' 'Selling crutches!'"
"But what if no one has injured legs and feet?"
"This crutch doesn't have to be sold to people with injured legs and feet, it can also be sold to those with bad brains."
The new counselor walked in. His surname was Wu, and his name was Wu Hong. He was very young, not tall, very fat, with a round face and small eyes, not greasy but with a hint of shrewdness.
The students in the class affectionately called him "Fatty Wu." This was what he requested himself.
As soon as he came in, there were shouts of "Fatty Wu" one after another in the class. He smiled and waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces.
Li Zhui Yuan could see that he was taking notes.
Those classmates who shouted "Fatty Wu" would most likely not get scholarships or class committee positions.
While those small number of classmates who persistently shouted "Counselor" and "Teacher Wu" immediately stood out.
Tan Wen Bin didn't shout, but he took a book from Li Zhui Yuan and read it carefully with his head down.
When the class meeting started, he didn't follow the current popular method of voting for class leaders, but appointed directly:
"Next, classmate Tan Wen Bin will be our class leader. Let's welcome him with applause!"
The whole class burst into applause. Lin Shu You clapped the most vigorously and the loudest.
This indeed didn't require a vote. Even though he didn't participate in military training for several days, which class could have a capable person who could participate in combating child trafficking groups and receive merit right at the beginning of the new semester? They would undoubtedly be elected.
Tan Wen Bin just lifted his head from the world of the dead, looking blank: What, I'm the class leader?
After the class meeting ended, the new class leader Tan Wen Bin, before the classmates left, shouted:
"The military training clothes will all be sent to the bargain store counter for recycling later. You can get a free cup of orange juice if you give my name!"
Everyone cheered.
Canned drinks were too expensive. Orange juice was made by purely mixing orange crystals. There was a glass frame at the store entrance. When the machine was turned on, the yellow drink would tumble, looking very tempting, but the actual cost was very low.
However, in the current situation, daring to treat the whole class to drinks was also considered a heroic act.
Lin Shu You excitedly said, "Brother, congratulations!"
Tan Wen Bin rolled his eyes at him, but soon, he also laughed.
He was originally not interested in being a class leader, feeling it would disperse his energy. But it was undeniable that the feeling of being a class leader at this moment was not bad.
Moreover, recently, some of his ideas had also gradually changed.
Just like Grandma Liu said, Yuan Zi brother might not be another Xiao Yuan.
Li Zhui Yuan opened his mouth: "Congratulations, Bin Bin brother."
Tan Wen Bin was slightly stunned. He suddenly realized that night, when facing the child called "Liang Liang," Xiao Yuan brother called himself "Bin Bin brother," not "Zhuang Zhuang brother." This was not an oversight, but deliberate.
Yuan Zi brother wanted to see himself receive honor, wanted to see himself receive awards, and still wanted to sit here and watch himself be the class leader.
At this moment, Fatty Wu beckoned: "Class leader, come to my office for a trip."
"Okay!" Tan Wen Bin raised his hand to indicate he knew.
"All of you come." Fatty Wu added another sentence.
He was clearly specifically referring to Li Zhui Yuan.
"Okay!" Lin Tian Tou responded enthusiastically.
Fatty Wu's office was shared, with four office desks inside. However, when they came in, there was no one behind the other office desks.
Earlier, Fatty Wu didn't specifically mention Li Zhui Yuan in the classroom. This time, he focused on chatting with Li Zhui Yuan in the office, starting with inquiries about his life as a preamble, and then quickly leading the topic to Luo Gong.
Finally, he would pull the topic back to his emotional life to make up for the utilitarian feeling in the middle.
Fatty Wu opened a drawer and took out a photo frame, showing everyone a joint photo of himself and his partner.
Tan Wen Bin leaned over to look and teased: "Brother Wu, you should take sister-in-law to the hospital for an eye exam."
Fatty Wu's partner was tall and beautiful, with a sweet face. In the current context, she was purely on the level of a school beauty.
When a man tells others that his partner is a flower in cow dung, he generally won't feel angry, but rather proud.
Fatty Wu not only acquiesced to Tan Wen Bin's addressing him as "brother" but also proudly lifted his not obvious neck:
"Your sister-in-law has good eyesight. Let me tell you, she was the one who chased me when we were at school."
"Brother Wu, honestly, you're not from a deep family background, deeply hidden?"
"If I were deeply hidden, I wouldn't be sitting here trying to rely on your connections to flatter Luo Gong."
Tan Wen Bin slapped his thigh: "Not good, it seems taking sister-in-law for an eye exam won't do, she needs to see a neurologist."
"Go on, this is true love. I'll call you out for a midnight snack later and bring her out for you to meet."
"Why later? Still stingy."
"She doesn't have time recently. She's taking care of her parents in the hospital. I also want to go to the hospital to accompany them later. After all, we're not married yet, so I need to perform well in front of the two elders."
"Are both parents sick?"
"Um, a while ago, her dad and mom came back after visiting the grave in their hometown and felt unwell, so they were hospitalized. So far, they haven't diagnosed any specific illness. The doctor suspects food poisoning."
Li Zhui Yuan lifted his eyelids.
Tan Wen Bin was also shocked, like a cat being stepped on its tail, suddenly getting electrocuted.
Visiting the grave, sick, weren't these keywords just relevant to me?
Only Lin Shu You was still introducing the folk remedies for food poisoning in his hometown.
Fatty Wu took out a piece of paper and listened while seriously taking notes.
"Brother Wu, give me a piece of paper too."
"Here."
"Brother Wu, do you still have a pen for me?"
"Here."
Tan Wen Bin: "Brother Wu, where is sister-in-law's hometown?"
"Near Huangshan."
"When did sister-in-law's dad and mom go back to their hometown to visit the grave?"
"Just a while ago."
"Specific date."
"The first of this month. I went to the train station with her to see her dad and mom off."
"Sister-in-law didn't go, right?"
"Um, she didn't go."
"Which hospital are the two elders in now?"
"The Third Hospital, not far from our school, opposite the flower and bird market."
"What ward number?"
"Why are you asking so much detail?"
"I know an old Chinese doctor with first-class medical skills, specializing in treating difficult and complicated diseases. I'll help you ask him to come and see. You can't invite him with money, it depends on favors."
"This is not good... when can we go?"
"In a few days, I need to contact him. You tell me the ward number first. I'll arrange it and take him there first. Don't worry, I'll say it was Brother Wu who invited him."
"Okay, I'll write it for you."
"Besides the two elders being sick, has anything else unusual happened at home?"
"Haven't heard her say anything."
"Where is the old furniture located?"
"Min An Town. I haven't been there because we haven't reached that stage yet."
"Okay, Brother Wu, rest assured, I will keep following up."
Fatty Wu laughed: "Isn't your dad a policeman?"
"Um, yes."
Fatty Wu's interest immediately piqued upon hearing this, and he seemed to want to continue discussing this topic in depth.
Tan Wen Bin took the paper, immediately interrupted him, and said: "Brother Wu, rest assured, the day you get caught for soliciting prostitution, remember to call me."
"You brat." Fatty Wu understood the meaning, "Okay, we've talked about everything. I will convey the matters in the class to you in the future. You and the class committee will coordinate and be responsible. We are adjourned."
Leaving the office, the three walked towards the dormitory.
Tan Wen Bin asked: "Xiao Yuan brother, will it be a new pulse appearing?"
Li Zhui Yuan: "Not necessarily, this one is hard to say accurately, and it's too early, and also quite far from us."
One wave just subsided, although some days have passed, it shouldn't be so rapid, because the first wave was originally resolved in advance. Theoretically, the interval in between should be longer.
Tan Wen Bin: "Also, it is indeed quite far from our school."
"Bin Bin brother, I'm not referring to distance, but to relationship." "Relationship?"
"The counselor's future father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the relationship between them and us is too distant. If this line were to be established, the future development model should be:
The counselor's partner also contracts a strange illness because she is taking care of her parents and wants to solve their problems.
The counselor also gets infected with a strange illness because he is taking care of his partner and solving her problems.
Although you are now the class leader, the counselor's relationship with you is not particularly close. It needs time to cultivate feelings.
On this basis, the day you go to his office to give him materials or when the two of you eat a midnight snack together, he suddenly falls ill in front of you, either suddenly fainting or having an epileptic seizure. In any case, it has to be very obvious.
This way, it can transition from you to me."
Tan Wen Bin nodded: "If calculated like this, even if I'm good at getting close to people, it would take at least two months to have that kind of depth of friendship.
Moreover, although I quite like interacting with someone like Fatty Wu, it's hard to become close to someone like him unless I go to his home halfway through, and that beautiful partner of his cooks a meal for us."
Li Zhui Yuan: "His partner also has to raise several stray cats, and it's best if she also likes volunteering at orphanages, being gentle and kind, forming a contrast with the counselor's image."
Tan Wen Bin: "This way, can it touch you, Xiao Yuan brother?"
"It's you."
"Oh, right, it's me."
I almost forgot, my Yuan Zi brother has no emotions.
Tan Wen Bin: "Then I will be filled with sympathy and beg you, Xiao Yuan brother."
"Um."
Tan Wen Bin blinked his eyes. Saying he was filled with sympathy felt quite strange.
However, he also sensed something. He truly had to love life, like socializing, and expressing emotions.
Just like today, if it weren't for the desire to see himself as the class leader, Yuan Zi brother wouldn't have gone to the classroom for the class meeting. And it was only because of his connection that Yuan Zi brother agreed to go to the office to chat about interpersonal relationships with Fatty Wu.
Grandma Liu was right, he really couldn't blindly imitate Yuan Zi brother.
He,
Had to become Yuan Zi brother's radar.
As soon as he thought of this, Tan Wen Bin's whole body shook with light and speed.
Let those two who are struggling continue to struggle. As long as the old man returns to nature, his role in the team will be irreplaceable. Ha, this is fate.
Li Zhui Yuan: "So, it's still too early."
"Right, indeed, it's still too early."
Following the vine to find the melon, it's good to at least have a vine. If this line can be established, it's not following the vine to find the melon, it's that the person's seeds have just sprouted, and he is waiting for them while going ahead with four or five shovels to dig.
Lin Shu You asked curiously: "What are you two talking about exactly?"
Tan Wen Bin: "Adults are talking, children don't interrupt."
Lin Shu You: "If you discover evil spirits, please remember to call me. I will not shirk my responsibility!"
Exorcising demons and protecting the way is true, and wanting to learn secret methods is also true. Lin Shu You now not only has the responsibility of the righteous path but also shoulders the future development of all official general first temples in the two cities and thirteen counties of his hometown.
His burden is very heavy.
He now wishes for several more incidents like the last one with Yu Po Po's death to come quickly, so he can continue to insert needles. Of course, it would be even better if he could gain more experience.
Tan Wen Bin: "Don't worry, you're not needed for now. My Run Sheng will be out of seclusion tomorrow."
Lin Shu You: "Although it is our duty to exorcise demons and protect the way, there is no need to divide high and low, but he cannot defeat me."
Before they fought hand-to-hand, even when Run Sheng and the others came together, they couldn't stop him.
Tan Wen Bin: "It doesn't matter, just wait and see. The first thing Run Sheng will do after coming out of seclusion is probably to find you to practice."
Lin Shu You: "Righteous people, if we fight each other, won't that make our loved ones sad and our enemies happy?"
"I'm going to get a bottle of ink." Li Zhui Yuan walked into the store.
Liu Yi sat at the counter collecting money. He truly worked like this now. As long as he was done with classes, he would come over. Although he was paid, he had a feeling of being the boss.
Li Zhui Yuan took a bottle of ink from the shelf. When he walked to the counter to pay, Liu Yi was answering the phone.
"Godson brother is here. I'll let him answer the phone." Liu Yi handed the receiver to Li Zhui Yuan. "The big boss is calling."
Liu Yi learned this title from Tan Wen Bin.
Li Zhui Yuan answered the phone: "Hello, Liang Liang brother."
"Xiao Yuan, Jing Jing is much better and has been discharged. Master's wife wants to invite you for a meal to express thanks. Master asked me to call and ask if you are willing to go. It's okay if you don't want to go."
"Are you back in Jinling?"
"No, we're in Dujiangyan now."
"Then I won't go."
"Okay then, I'll call master's wife back in a while. That's it, I'll hang up first..."
"Liang Liang brother, where is your hometown in Anhui?"
"Nantong, Anhui, ah."
"I'm serious."
"Oh, I thought you wanted to continue making this joke with me. I was thinking of cooperating with you. My hometown is on the edge of Huangshan, a small town."
"What's it called?"
"Min An Town. It's an ancient town, very beautiful. I'll go back with Master next month. It happens to be my dad's birthday around that time. I'll take you to my hometown to play. You'll definitely like the architectural style there."
"What day is Uncle's birthday next month?"
"It's at the end of the month, still early."
"Okay, I know."
"But don't prepare a gift. It's enough if you just come."
"Okay."
Li Zhui Yuan hung up the phone.
Holding the ink, he walked out of the store and returned to the dormitory.
Lin Shu You still wanted to follow, but Tan Wen Bin made a gesture to kick him, which forced him back to his own dormitory.
Closing the door, Tan Wen Bin sighed helplessly: "This guy, he wants to stick to us all day now. Or, should I go and solve it so he can quietly be a door god?"
A door god is pasted outside the door and does not enter the door.
"Um, send him two more sets of talisman needles then."
"Heh heh, send one set first. If he performs well, give him another set."
"Bin Bin brother, you handle it."
"Guarantee to complete the task."
Tan Wen Bin went out holding a set of talisman needles.
Li Zhui Yuan sat down at the desk and opened the book in front of him.
This was the new version sample of the "Zhui Yuan Secret Volume" sent from his hometown school. It was no longer in the form of test papers but was bound into a book. It included course outlines, formula analyses, and answer analyses.
Three sets were sent, divided into three colors: upper, middle, and lower volumes.
The main purpose was to let Li Zhui Yuan look at the cover design. Considering that there was no content in terms of practicality, all the pages were blank. It was also considered a hardcover souvenir sent from his hometown school.
Li Zhui Yuan was now flipping through the "Zhui Yuan Secret Volume" upper volume. On it, "First Volume" was written with a fountain pen, and the title was "Yu Po Po."
It fully recorded all the pulses of the "Yu Po Po" incident, as well as the analysis and speculation afterward.
Tan Wen Bin had already looked through this volume. He still had a small booklet on his table called "Walk Jiang Behavior Norm."
Li Zhui Yuan picked up his fountain pen and wrote "Second Volume" on a new page.
Then, he pushed the book open and wrote "Min An Town" on the notebook next to it.
When two seeds sprout in the same place, it might no longer be a coincidence.
But if he really wanted to go so far ahead and dig backward, wouldn't that be too unfair to that dead person?
Li Zhui Yuan's mouth curved into a smile:
"Why should I empathize with you?"
...
"Here, take it."
Tan Wen Bin handed the talisman needles to Lin Shu You.
"Thank you, brother!"
Lin Shu You took it with great excitement. Tan Wen Bin had already given him a set according to the agreement at the bedside.
One set was divided into two evil-breaking talisman needles and two sealing talisman needles. It could be used by one official general first once. After use, it was useless unless it could be revived like Lin Shu You's last time, by getting it revitalized in the temple.
Lin Shu You took out the original set from under the bed and held one set in each hand.
"I'll keep this set for myself, and I'll mail this set back to my grandfather."
"Are you stupid? Don't you think you should send the first set you got back to your old family to see if they can imitate it?"
"My grandfather can't imitate it." Saying that, he pointed to his belly, "Here, my grandfather needs to cultivate, and he also has to draw heavily."
"How do you know it won't work if you don't try?"
Lin Shu You scratched his head: "But, even if he imitates it, who dares to try? If there's the slightest mistake, they'll just pass away."
"That's also true. Suddenly feel like you're quite smart."
The prototype design of this talisman comes from Wei Zheng Dao's "Righteous Path Subduing Demon Record."
When drawing the talisman, one had to pay attention to the charm and texture, it wasn't just about copying. These were only recorded in the book.
Furthermore, the person who personally drew this talisman was A Li.
So, from a fundamental perspective, Li Zhui Yuan monopolized the production of these talisman needles. Even if they were given out, there would be one less set outside.
Tan Wen Bin pointed to the other set of talisman needles in Lin Shu You's hand and said: "Since your grandfather has one, what about your master? Mail this set back together and give it to your master."
"Then I won't have any to use myself?"
"When you need to use it, I'll give it to you."
"Ah, right, big brother, you're so smart!"
"Also, let me tell you something. You can follow me at school in the future, but if I'm with Xiao Yuan brother, you don't follow. Have some sense.
Quietly go to class during the day, and go back to the dormitory to sleep in the evening. When there's a need, I'll come and call you. At other times, just protect my Xiao Yuan brother from the periphery."
"Understood."
"I still have a set of talisman needles here. If you do well, I'll give it to you in the future."
"Okay!"
Tan Wen Bin reached out and patted Lin Shu You's arm: "Wait for Run Sheng to come back, and you can have a good fight with him."
"Ah? How can I do that?"
"Are you stupid? If you fight him, and you can't beat him, won't my Xiao Yuan brother add some material to help him improve?"
"Then I'll deliberately lose to him?"
Tan Wen Bin frowned.
Lin Shu You excitedly said: "Right, as long as I deliberately lose to him, Xiao Yuan brother will constantly add material to me."
Tan Wen Bin's mind conjured up Run Sheng's terrifying special training experience.
"Stupid child, if you play like this..."
"Okay, can I?"
"You'll be beaten to death by Run Sheng."
...
After returning to the dormitory, Tan Wen Bin saw Xiao Yuan brother reading a book. Now there were many books piled up in the dormitory, which were basic reading materials sent by Grandma Liu.
During this time, he and Xiao Yuan brother were reading these books together, which gave Tan Wen Bin the illusion that he and Xiao Yuan brother were on the same stage, building a foundation together.
"Liang Liang brother's father's birthday is next month, and his hometown is also Min An Town."
"Min An Town?" Tan Wen Bin's butt, which had just sat down, immediately bounced up. "Xiao Yuan brother, is it really this?"
"Not necessarily, but the probability is increasing."
"Should we start investigating now?"
Li Zhui Yuan shook his head:
"Don't be in a hurry. Wait until Run Sheng and Yin Meng finish their special training.
When you grasp this line, the vibration will also be transmitted along this line.
So, either don't move, or if you want to move, push forward along all lines at the fastest speed, giving it no reaction time."
"Okay, I know."
The two ate some bread for dinner, then read together until the afternoon.
Tan Wen Bin left the table. He had only read one volume of a basic book, while Yuan Zi brother had a stack of finished books under his feet.
"Xiao Yuan brother, I'm going to accompany the old lady to chat. Are you going now?"
"I'll go this evening."
"Okay, I'll go first then."
Tan Wen Bin came to Liu's house alone. As soon as he pushed open the door and entered the courtyard, he saw Run Sheng sitting on a chair.
At this moment, Run Sheng's body showed no signs of dispiritedness. Instead, he had a sense of calm composure.
"Run Sheng, this is..."
Run Sheng: "My special training is over."
"What about Uncle Qin?"
Aunt Liu, with messy hair and a haggard face, walked out of the room swaying: "He has something to do temporarily and went out. He'll be back in a while, but the course is finished."
Tan Wen Bin looked towards the pickled vegetable jar in the corner and didn't see Yin Meng's figure.
Aunt Liu said: "I found an ancient well in Jinling for Meng Meng and soaked her in it. Before she graduates, I'll clean her body thoroughly."
"Oh, like this, ah." Tan Wen Bin nodded.
With a "clatter," several tools were thrown at Tan Wen Bin's feet. There were tweezers, a wrench, an opener, a hammer, and a small knife.
"This is..."
Aunt Liu supported her forehead and said: "He left in a hurry and couldn't clean up. I'm too tired. Zhuang Zhuang, you can help Run Sheng remove the ten things from his body."
Run Sheng took off his clothes, exposing his back.
Tan Wen Bin picked up the tools from the ground and looked at the nail caps embedded in Run Sheng's body. He swallowed with difficulty.
This scene was truly too terrifying. Every nail was as long as chopsticks, and very thick. The picture of taking them out was enough to make one's scalp numb just thinking about it, let alone taking out sixteen of them.
This wasn't a matter of courage or not. He was at least good at smashing people to death with stones, but to do this to his companion, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.
Run Sheng comforted: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."
"Okay." Tan Wen Bin took a deep breath and was about to start when he stopped again.
Run Sheng: "What's wrong?"
"I thought of a good place. Not only can it be taken out very well, but it can also conveniently help you disinfect."
...
"Brother Fan, my dear Brother Fan."
Fan Shu Lin shuddered upon hearing this sound.
He lifted his head and looked at Tan Wen Bin, then immediately shifted his gaze and looked behind him.
He's here... but this time he didn't bring the person back.
"Brother Fan, a friend of mine wasn't careful and got a thorn in him. I'd like to ask you to help pull it out."
"Okay, I'm good at this."
"Where is the person?"
"I'll let him wait in the operating room."
The school medical room, which also served as a community hospital, had an operating room, but surgeries were not frequent. For slightly larger illnesses, they would all suggest sending them to the nearby big hospital.
Fan Shu Lin, on the other hand, had been utilizing this operating room recently to perform several major surgeries. If it weren't for the violation of rules, he would have written papers about it.
On the way to the operating room, Tan Wen Bin stuffed a red envelope into Fan Shu Lin's white coat.
Fan Shu Lin pushed it away and said, "No need this time."
"Use it, use it."
"No need, what is it to pull out a single thorn?"
"That's also hard work."
"You consider me a friend, just don't give it."
"Okay then, I'll give you a banner next time."
"Hey, that's good!"
"Brother Fan, you should have said so earlier. It's not enough meaning, you have needs and don't tell your brother."
"Then, brothers, are you free tonight? Let's go for a drink together."
"Tonight?"
"Right, an old classmate who I drank and chatted with until dawn a while ago is divorced today. I have to go and comfort him."
"Why did he get divorced?"
"Who knows? Originally, he and his partner were working well in Jinling, but his partner suddenly became determined to give up her work here and go back to her hometown."
"Isn't that just finding an excuse for divorce?"
"It really doesn't seem like it. She really resigned and wants to go back to Huangshan."
"Back where?"
"Huangshan, ah, her hometown is there."
Tan Wen Bin froze in place. Fan Shu Lin pushed open the operating room door and said doubtfully, "Aren't you coming in?"
Seeing that Tan Wen Bin still didn't react, Fan Shu Lin closed the operating room door first, put on his gloves, picked up the tools, walked in front of Run Sheng, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw him:
"Hey, it's an acquaintance again. It looks like this time is not bad, not badly injured. I said, your gang has quieted down recently, right?"
"Gang?" Run Sheng was slightly puzzled but still nodded, "Recently, there has been nothing."
"Then unifying the entire school's Jianghu is also fast, right?"
"Unifying the Jianghu is just the beginning."
"Um, the task is heavy and the road is long, ah. Come on, where is the thorn? I'll pick it out for you."
Run Sheng took off his clothes.
Tan Wen Bin, still in a daze outside the operating room door, was woken up by a scream:
"You are devils!"
