Corpse Retriever

Having personally experienced two death incidents and having just finished reading Jianghu Zhiguai Lu, Li Zhuiyuan was originally looking forward to continuing his study on death.

It was like after reading the concepts, I should give myself some formulas, and then see if I can find an opportunity to apply the formulas to solve the problems.

But after reading these two books, it felt like I had just learned a little bit of a course and had two new lessons for myself.

Turning my head to look at the box, I was hesitating whether to put the two sets of books back and read them again, but my mind came back to what my grandfather said to me that night:

"Little Marquis Yuan, you can't be too ambitious, you have to start from a solid foundation."

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head and said, forget it, since I have already figured it out, I will read it.

After reading it, maybe I can tell fortunes for the dead next time?

But this kind of self-consolation really doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

Is it to tell fortunes for those dead people who have been soaked into pig skin jelly?

Or did he tell the little yellow warbler and the cat-faced old lady that they were not destined to die suddenly?

With a complex and helpless mood, Li Zhuiyuan left the basement and went up to the second floor with two sets of books. Below, Liu Yumei's voice came:

"Xiaoyuan, come down to help grandma make tea."

Li Zhuiyuan looked down and saw a light bulb hanging at the door of the east room. Liu Yumei was sitting under the light bulb. There was a set of tea sets and a Go board beside her.

"Okay, grandma Liu."

Li Zhuiyuan responded, put the books into his bedroom desk, wiped the dust off his body with a towel, and ran downstairs.

Even if Liu Yumei didn't look for him, he would find a private time to talk to Liu Yumei about Uncle Qin teaching him to practice martial arts.

Especially after touching these two sets of books, the idea of ​​practicing martial arts became more urgent. Since the textbooks were off topic, he could only choose to catch up with the progress by tutoring outside of class.

"Grandma, have some tea."

"Yes."

After making tea, Li Zhuiyuan sat down opposite Liu Yumei. He didn't rush to talk about his own affairs, but waited for Liu Yumei to speak first, so that he could make the conditions.

After all, who would make tea before going to bed at night when they have nothing to do?

However, when Liu Yumei was about to speak, the door of the east room was opened from the inside, and Qin Li stood at the door. She was wearing a white silk pajamas, shining under the light.

"Ali, go back to the room and rest first. Grandma and Xiaoyuan have something to say."

Qin Li didn't move.

Liu Yumei could only wink at Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Qin Li: "Ali, you go to bed first. I will get up early to read tomorrow."

Qin Li turned around and closed the door.

Liu Yumei sighed. It was okay for them to be children now, but if they were adults and her daughter was still so close to the boy in front of her and listened to the boy's words, she would have a headache.

However, there is a nose pain problem that needs to be solved in time.

"Xiaoyuan, come to my house tomorrow to worship my family's tablet."

"Hmm?"

"Just treat it as a visit."

"Okay, Grandma Liu."

It's like visiting a friend's house and meeting the old people in the friend's house. If the old people have become tablets in the house, you still have to worship them.

"By the way, talk to A Li and clean up those dirty towels and stinky duck eggs."

"Towels?"

Li Zhuiyuan suddenly remembered that it was no wonder that he had to find a new towel to wash and dry every night these days. He was wondering where the dirty towels went. It turned out that they were all taken away by A Li.

But what are stinky duck eggs?

Liu Yumei was a little embarrassed to speak up, but she still had to bite the bullet and explain: "Ali has a habit of taking back the things you sent her. Maybe I told her or she thought so herself. She thinks that the mourning hall should be the place where the most precious things are placed, so Ali put those dirty towels there.

That duck egg should be peeled by you for her at breakfast that day. It's all stinky.

I dare not touch the things that Ali put there, for fear that she will get angry. Only you can help me clean it up.

Also, teach her not to put other things in the mourning hall in the future."

Liu Yumei was really depressed because she had to ask outsiders for help to educate her granddaughter who she raised herself.

But she had to ask for help from outsiders. Otherwise, she would have to endure the smell of stinky duck eggs every day when she talked to the tablets.

It was okay for her, she just smelled it when she talked, but the ancestors of the Qin and Liu families had to be influenced all the time.

In addition, she was also afraid that if she put something new on the mourning hall in the future, she had been using fish jelly for porridge for breakfast recently. She was really afraid that Ah Li would take home a bowl of fish jelly that she and Xiao Yuan had eaten and put it on the main seat of the mourning hall.

"I know, Grandma Liu, I will come to pay respect to the tablet tomorrow."

Li Zhuiyuan didn't ask why he didn't go to pay respect now? He knew that Grandma Liu didn't want Ah Li to think that she was telling tales.

"Well, very good." Liu Yumei nodded with satisfaction, and her eyes fell on the chessboard, "Look, do you like this chessboard?"

Li Zhuiyuan looked at the chessboard carefully. It was an old item from a long time. If you smell it carefully, there is also a smell of sandalwood.

Especially the chess pieces, grab a few in your hand, round and cool, although the temperament and luster are consistent, but you can still see a little difference if you look closely, which means that the chess pieces are not molded on the assembly line, but dripped out by ancient methods.

"Grandma Liu, this is a good thing."

Li Zhuiyuan has become immune to the good things that Liu Yumei takes out from time to time.

At present, although the label of "ten thousand yuan household" has gradually receded, it is still amazing to be able to show off such wealth so luxuriously.

"Since you and A Li can play Go, I will take this thing out for you to play with. You can take it back to your room later."

"Okay, then leave it with me for now."

Liu Yumei nodded with satisfaction and was about to see the guest off, but she heard Li Zhuiyuan say again:

"Grandma Liu, I have been weak and sick since childhood, so I want to exercise with Uncle Qin."

Liu Yumei glanced at the boy in front of her. Although the white and tender skin is indeed not related to strong, he does not look weak and sick.

However, she immediately understood what the boy meant. In the past, she would have used a few words to get rid of it without hesitation, but now she had just asked him for help...

It's just teaching some kung fu or something, it's not a rule, it's not teaching anything else.

"Okay, I'll go talk to your Uncle Qin."

"Thank you, Grandma."

"Come on, let's play a game."

"Okay."

Being controlled by a child, Liu Yumei still felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't plan to play chess at first, but she couldn't help but play a game.

Then, she regretted it. When the game reached the middle, she felt that she was doomed.

At first, Li Zhuiyuan thought that since he had gotten the upper hand, he would be beaten by Grandma Liu to vent his anger. He took it for granted that Qin Li's chess skills were all taught by Grandma Liu, and he was definitely not the old lady's opponent.

But as he played, he suddenly realized that Grandma Liu's chess skills were not as good as his.

With his mental arithmetic, he could barely be considered an amateur master, while Grandma Liu was at most an amateur mid-level.

"Grandma, I'm sleepy, why don't we stop playing?"

"Well, then go to bed."

"Okay."

Li Zhuiyuan got up, put away the chess pieces, and went back upstairs with the chessboard.

Liu Yumei walked into the house and came to the bedroom. Qin Li closed her eyes and slept very obediently.

A loving smile appeared on her face.

No matter what,

her own A Li has more and more of that little girl feeling.

"Our A Li's illness will definitely be cured, definitely."

...

When I came to the second-floor terrace, I happened to see the grandfather standing on the edge and just finished urinating. He was in the final stage of shaking.

"What are you holding?"

"Grandma Liu borrowed my chessboard."

"You still have to pay more attention, read more books, and study hard."

"I know, Grandpa."

"Well, something happened at Ying Hou's house. He can't come for a while. You should take care of yourself."

"What happened at Yingzi's house?"

"It is said that her Grandpa Nan and Grandma Nan got sick together and are lying in the hospital. Ying Hou and her mother are taking care of them there."

Sister Yingzi's Grandpa Nan and Grandma Nan should be her grandparents.

Li Zhuiyuan finally understood why Sister Yingzi had not come to him for tutoring these days. No matter how poor her comprehension ability was, she should have finished reading the last questions long ago.

"Then do we need to visit her?"

"Visit her for nothing. Her mother's family is in Jiuxu Port. You have to take several buses to go there. Besides, if she is really dying, your grandfather will go there. What am I going to see?"

"Oh."

"Go back to the room and go to bed early."

"Grandpa, do you have a magnifying glass here?"

"Magnifying glass?" Li Sanjiang thought for a while, "Look in the groove of the stove. Is there one? I wanted to use it to start a fire before, but later I found that it was not as good as a match. What do you want that thing for?"

"Read books."

The words on the two sets of books were really too small.

"Is it so hard for you to read? You need a magnifying glass? How about I take you to the optician's shop in town and get you a pair of glasses?

Forget it, the optician's shop in town may not be good enough. I'll take you to the People's Hospital in the city by bus."

"No need, I'll just take it to look at the picture. I'm not nearsighted."

Li Zhuiyuan first put down the chessboard in the bedroom, then ran to the kitchen downstairs. Sure enough, he found the dusty magnifying glass in the groove of the stove. After cleaning it, he returned to the bedroom and turned on the desk lamp.

The first thing he took out was "Explanation of Yin and Yang Physiognomy", a total of eight volumes.

Turning the pages, there was no preface, not even a mark for the first article, just the content.

Li Zhuiyuan took the magnifying glass and looked at it carefully.

After reading three densely packed front and back pages in a row, Li Zhuiyuan found something wrong.

These three pages actually have a lot of words, all talking about the same thing - eyebrows.

From the direction and angle of eyebrows, thick thickness, length and color... a total of nearly a thousand kinds.

Starting from the fourth page, it starts to talk about eye bags.

Li Zhuiyuan did not continue to read, but turned back two pages to confirm that it spent two large pages talking about eye bags.

Next, it started to talk about eyelids.

Li Zhuiyuan had a vague guess in his mind... Although it was not marked as the first chapter, what it talked about in the early stage was probably all about "eyes"?

But after so much time, it was only part of "eyes".

Li Zhuiyuan turned the book to the last page and found that it talked about wrinkles at the corners of the eyes... or eyes.

Then, he took out the second book, read the front page and turned the page back. Well, the first three pages were all about earlobes.

Then he turned to the last page and talked about hearing loss.

The third volume, picked up, and quickly confirmed in the same way, yes, it talks about the philtrum, that is, the area between the lips and the nose.

So, the first four volumes talk about: eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

In theory, the five senses refer to eyebrows, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Here, eyebrows and eyes are combined into one volume, and eyebrows are not opened separately.

It's pretty good.

Skipping the basic concepts, Li Zhuiyuan took out the fifth volume and read the first page carefully... He didn't understand it.

But he probably got the feeling, it seems to be a permutation and combination, and each combination corresponds to a short text description, and it is extremely brief.

The general meaning is that due to the limited space, many things are omitted, and the reader should understand it himself.

Li Zhuiyuan rubbed his eyes, so, is this face reading?

It's not the kind of fortune teller who walks up to you and says: "Your forehead is black, and there may be disasters recently."

According to the logical description of this book, it should be: Do you know how many permutations and combinations there are in the forehead?

Li Zhuiyuan couldn't understand why this book, which was obviously a book about physiognomy involving feudal superstition, had such a strong scientific rigor.

How energetic was the author of this book? How many people's faces did he observe carefully?

No, it was impossible for one person to do it, and even a sect could not do it.

If this book was not written blindly, then the author must have collected and researched countless related works and notes of his predecessors before he could summarize it.

Li Zhuiyuan opened the sixth book and read the first page carefully.

His forehead was sweating and his earlobes were red. This was usually the result of his brain thinking quickly when solving problems.

After reading the first page, he still didn't understand the content, but he understood the rules.

If the fifth book is a permutation and combination based on the eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the first four books, then the sixth book is a permutation and combination based on the previous ones.

If the fifth book can still be passed by rote memorization, then the sixth book has already involved mathematical calculations, and the amount of calculation is too large.

Li Zhuiyuan took a deep breath and opened the seventh book.

He read the first page very quickly this time, because he was just confirming his guess.

Sure enough, the seventh book is a further increase on the basis of the sixth book, and the difficulty of understanding and calculation is not simply doubled.

"Huh..."

Li Zhuiyuan wanted to wash his face now, but after a moment of hesitation, he still opened the eighth book.

After reading the first page of the eighth book, Li Zhuiyuan closed the book.

He leaned back in the chair.

He found that he was wrong. He was wondering why a feudal and superstitious book could have a scientific and rigorous taste.

When he turned to the eighth book,

he saw metaphysics.

The classification of eyes, ears, mouth and nose in the first four books is very much like raw data, or raw numbers. The fifth to seventh books are the application of raw numbers.

Using a perceptual metaphor, it can be compared to painting. You start from the most basic points, lines and surfaces, to draw a complete thing, to layout the structure, to the combination of light and shadow for three-dimensional perception...

When you can perfectly copy the paintings of masters and draw excellent works, you are almost at the level of the seventh book.

This eighth book... requires you to feel your own style, create a school, and become a master.

So, even if this book is true, ordinary people can only read it and can't learn it at all, let alone the eighth book. You have to memorize more than a thousand kinds of eyebrows first.

Li Zhuiyuan glanced at the set of "Theory of Deduction of Fate" next to him. Forget it, I'll just give up.

He sat up again and opened the first volume. Hey, there is a preface.

Sure enough, these two sets of books are written by the same author, because the first sentence of the first line is: "After reading the previous work "Explanation of Yin and Yang Physiognomy."

Is this a necessary prerequisite?

Continuing to read, Li Zhuiyuan found that it was not, but that fate reasoning requires several conditions, one is physiognomy, one is astrology, and one is luck.

"Could it be that there are two sets of books by the same author in the box that I didn't find?"

Soon, Li Zhuiyuan found that he was wrong, because in the preface, the author expressed regret that he only mastered physiognomy, but was no longer able to study astrology and luck.

In other words, astrology and luck are mutually inclusive and are not classified separately. There are also astrology and luck in physiognomy and fate.

According to the author's opinion, he thinks that the real method of fate deduction should be combined with these four major academic disciplines to truly achieve excellence.

"In other words, after learning these four, it only improves the accuracy rate, but it is still not 100%."

And the previous work, physiognomy, is one of the auxiliary aids to improve the accuracy of fate deduction.

After the preface, Li Zhuiyuan officially turned the first page of content.

The first thing that appeared was a corner of a figure. To be precise, this page was just a corner of the figure, and the text was written in the figure.

Li Zhuiyuan quickly turned the pages and memorized each page of the figure in his mind. After turning the whole book, he began to do a puzzle in his brain. He pieced it together, but it was still incomplete, but he could see what it was.

It was Bagua.

So, after all these eight books are pieced together, it is a complete Bagua.

And this set of books is actually... a complete new algorithm.

At this moment, Li Zhuiyuan had an illusion that he was not living in his grandfather's house in the countryside, but was back in the classroom in Beijing.

The old professors and their group of children and students showed a gloomy smile after torturing each other.

"It really feels like studying in class."

Li Zhuiyuan looked at the time and found that it was already one o'clock in the morning. He got up and left the house, went to the washing water tank to scoop out water and washed his face.

After he became refreshed, he also rekindled his fighting spirit:

"Study, study hard!"

...

In the morning, just after dawn, Li Zhuiyuan opened his eyes, turned his head, and saw the brilliance that shone into his bedroom before the sun.

Qin Li sat on the chair, facing him sideways.

This was because she was afraid that she would face him directly like last time and scare him when he woke up.

She was wearing a jacket and skirt today, that is, a top with lining on the upper body and a skirt on the lower body.

The top was dark green with white patterns, and the skirt was light green with landscapes and flowers embroidered on the background.

This made Li Zhuiyuan, who had been reading for half a night with a magnifying glass last night, look particularly comfortable.

After washing up, before breakfast started, Li Zhuiyuan took out the chessboard that Grandma Liu gave him last night and wanted to play chess with Qin Li.

But Qin Li looked at the expensive chessboard of normal size, but hesitated to pick up the chess pieces.

"Don't you like it?"

Qin Li didn't say anything.

Li Zhuiyuan had to put away the chessboard and took out the simple plastic chessboard paper that Uncle Qin bought for him in town.

After laying it out, Qin Li immediately picked up the chess pieces and made a move.

After losing three games in a row, Li Zhuiyuan missed the confrontation with Grandma Liu last night.

However, he could also feel the improvement of his chess skills. After all, he was always suppressed by the girl, so it was easy to find and improve his shortcomings.

The girl would no longer deliberately let him go. By the third game, although he still lost, the two of them had a formal chess atmosphere when they played against each other.

But Li Zhuiyuan also knew that his limit would soon be reached. Unless he threw away the two sets of books in the bedroom and exchanged them for chess records to study, he would never be able to beat the girl in chess.

But what's the point of doing this? It would only look childish to compete for something unnecessary.

"Ali, you're really good."

The girl seemed to be smiling. Although her expression was not obvious, the slightly trembling corners of her lips seemed to indicate the action she wanted to do.

Auntie Liu called for breakfast.

After breakfast, Li Zhuiyuan noticed that the girl once again held the salted duck egg that he had opened for her in her hand and hid it in her sleeve.

Li Zhuiyuan grabbed her hand and took out the salted duck egg:

"Ali, eat what you want to eat, don't hide it. If you want to collect something, I can give you some gifts in the future."

The girl's eyes lit up.

After breakfast, Li Zhuiyuan followed the agreement and came to the east room. Liu Yumei was not in the room, nor did she drink tea outside the room as usual. She deliberately hid far away.

This was the first time Li Zhuiyuan entered the east room. Looking at the tablets full of the surnames of Qin and Liu in the mourning hall, he inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu.

It seemed that he had been to a similar place and had the same feeling, but he couldn't remember where it was and who took him there.

Li Zhuiyuan leaned over to pay respect to the tablet, and then put away the dirty towels and the stinky duck egg on the tablet.

Qin Li reached out and grabbed Li Zhuiyuan's arm. Her eyelashes didn't flutter, and her body didn't tremble, but she also expressed her unwillingness.

In other words, it was Li Zhuiyuan who started to clean up. If it were someone else, even if it was Liu Yumei herself, the girl would have exploded long ago.

"Ali, listen, don't put things here if you want to collect them. We can find a better place to put them. This is used to place tablets for the ancestors, understand?"

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, look!

Ali lowered her head, she was very disappointed.

Li Zhuiyuan was thinking, what should he give her?

Sending food is definitely not okay, she will definitely keep it secretly and let it continue to mold.

"Ah Li, how about I give you that chess set? It's not new, it's the one we used to play chess this morning, in a small wooden box.

I'll keep it with you, and you can take it out and find me in the morning, and we can play chess together with it."

Qin Li raised her head, and although she still had no obvious expression, she could feel that she had become brighter.

Outside the door, Liu Yumei, who had deliberately avoided her before and now quietly approached the corner to eavesdrop, rolled her eyes.

She could already imagine her granddaughter carefully caring for the worthless toy.

Walking out of the door, she saw Liu Yumei.

"Grandma Liu."

"Hey."

Li Zhuiyuan didn't rush to leave, but continued: "Grandma Liu, the weather is very good today. You should go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air. It's good for your health."

"I told Ali that he will teach you after he finishes his work in the evening. Don't be afraid of hard work."

"How could that be. Thank you, Grandma Liu."

When Li Zhuiyuan was holding Qin Li's hand and going up the stairs, he happened to see Li Sanjiang coming down. When there was no work, the grandfather would usually get up late.

"How is your study recently?"

Li Sanjiang forgot that he had asked last night. He just enjoyed the feeling of being an elder who cared about his children's studies.

After all, if he really looked into it, he would probably find out what book Li Zhuiyuan had been reading recently.

Well, it was also because Qin Li had been accompanying Li Zhuiyuan to read books. He was a little scared of the little girl and was still reluctant to get close.

"It's a bit difficult, but I will try my best."

"Well, just try your best."

Back to the northeast corner of the terrace on the second floor, Li Zhuiyuan took out the book, put the magnifying glass in place, and took out a blank exercise book next to it.

In "Explanation of Yin-Yang Physiognomy", there are many words and descriptions about "size" and "cutting". In addition, there are many more abstract ancient Chinese characters, which should be commonly used in old medical books.

Li Zhuiyuan can understand the words, but he has no specific cognitive concept, so he can only take a pen to record them first.

Fortunately, the former can be asked by Liu Yumei, he can see that although Qin Li's clothes are custom-made, they must have been cut and modified by Liu Yumei. The latter can be asked by Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu obviously knows medical skills.

At this moment, Uncle Qin has brought back the raw materials for making incense, and Aunt Liu has prepared to make incense by ancient methods.

Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what kind of existence is A Li's family...?

Shaking his head, putting aside distracting thoughts, Li Zhuiyuan officially began to recite.

There are two classmates in the class who really have the ability to remember everything they see.

Li Zhuiyuan knew that he couldn't compare with them in this regard, the gap was very large, because he needed to look at two or even three eyes.

In the middle, he kept bending over and holding the magnifying glass for a long time, and his neck was a little sore.

Li Zhuiyuan continued to read and recite with a magnifying glass in his left hand, and pressed his neck with his right hand.

After a while, another warm and soft little hand pressed the other side of his neck.

Li Zhuiyuan smiled, what a cute obsessive-compulsive disorder.

All morning, except for taking Qin Li to the toilet and drinking water, Li Zhuiyuan was reciting.

He felt that his mind was already filled with all kinds of "eyes".

When he finished reciting the "ears, mouth and nose" at the back, there should be countless faces of all kinds in his mind.

Even the hairstyle models provided by the largest barbershop in Beijing for customers to choose from are too poor and shabby for him.

After lunch, Li Weihan and Cui Guiying came.

Li Zhuiyuan was immersed in reciting and did not notice the situation on the dam. Qin Li beside him would not remind him.

When he noticed that Qin Li's body began to shake, Li Zhuiyuan raised his head in surprise and saw Cui Guiying approaching with deliberate light steps.

He quickly grabbed Qin Li's hand, fearing that the girl would get angry at her grandmother.

Seeing that her grandson was reading seriously, Cui Guiying didn't want to disturb him, so she just smiled and said, "Little Yuanhou, are you reading?"

"Well, grandma, where's grandpa?"

"Your grandpa is talking to your great-grandfather."

"Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing, it has nothing to do with you."

"Is it about Aunt San's family?"

"Uh... yes. They said they want to ask your great-grandfather to go and see him."

"Oh."

Generally, when encountering diseases that are difficult to treat in regular hospitals, many family members will try to go to the side door. Moreover, it is not very common for an old couple to fall ill together, which is indeed strange.

"This little girl is so pretty."

Cui Guiying pretended to reach out and touch Qin Li's head, and Li Zhuiyuan quickly blocked Qin Li.

"Uh..."

Cui Guiying was stunned for a moment and could only touch her grandson's head.

"Grandma, she's shy."

"Oh, really? She plays well with you."

After talking to Cui Guiying for a while, Li Weihan also came up to see his grandson.

However, Li Weihan only asked if he had eaten well and slept well, and then he stopped talking and just looked at her.

When the time was almost right, he was ready to leave.

Before leaving, Li Weihan said, "Oh, by the way, Xiao Yuanhou, your grandfather will go on a long journey the day after tomorrow and will not be back at night. It happens that the villagers will go to dredge the river that day. I will take you with me."

Cui Guiying complained when she heard it: "What are you doing? Taking a child to dredge the river, what do you think?"

Li Weihan said indifferently: "It's just two days, sleeping outside, it's no big deal. This is not the past. The dredge work period is shorter and not so hard. Our four sons, including Lei Hou and Pan Hou, will go with me."

Cui Guiying: "Even if Uncle Sanjiang is going to Jiuxugang and is not at home, can't Xiao Yuanhou sleep at our house?"

"Uncle said, it's not convenient to go home to sleep, after all, Xiao Yuanhou has become a monk and has not returned to secular life."

In fact, Li Weihan originally wanted his grandson, and this time the whole family was going to dredge the river, so he wanted to take Li Zhuiyuan to have fun.

"Little Yuanhou, are you willing to go with grandpa?"

"Yes, grandpa."

"Look, the kid has agreed."

Li Weihan took Cui Guiying away. He came here today mainly to pass on a message to his in-laws in Jiuxugang to invite Uncle Sanjiang.

It is said that a patient in the same ward came to visit with a relative. The relative was from Shigang Town and told the story of the corpse retriever from the Li family in Siyuan Village, Shinan Town.

When the in-laws heard that this was the village where their daughter married, they immediately contacted and wanted to ask someone to go out and take a look.

After dinner, Li Zhuiyuan went to the dam to wait. Liu Yumei did not break her promise. Uncle Qin took Li Zhuiyuan to the back of the house and began to teach Li Zhuiyuan kung fu:

Squatting horse stance.

According to Uncle Qin's request, Li Zhuiyuan began to squat, and then Uncle Qin's hands were adjusted at each force point, while he told him to pay attention to the details.

After an hour of adjustment, Uncle Qin finally stopped talking.

Li Zhuiyuan was so tired that he was sweating and his legs were shaking.

But Uncle Qin just let him rest for a while and squatted for another hour.

When he went up the stairs to the house, Li Zhuiyuan held the wall.

In the evening, Liu Yumei sat at the door of the house to cool off, and Uncle Qin walked over to her and stood beside her.

"How is it?"

"The brain is really good."

"The limbs are not good?"

"No, no, what I mean is that with a good brain, he can learn anything quickly. He can understand much faster than when I was a child practicing martial arts. He can already feel the rhythm of taking root under his feet.

It's just that practicing kung fu is hard after all. Let's see if he can persist."

"Why, do you want to accept a disciple?"

"No, I don't have this idea."

"Teach well, remember, only teach kung fu."

"Okay, I understand."

Liu Yumei returned to the house, sat in front of the tablet, picked up a piece of cake on the altar, took a small bite, and chewed slowly.

At this time, there was no stench in the mourning hall, and she could also relax and feel much more comfortable.

"The Li family kid that Ah Li likes to play with has started to learn Kung Fu from Ah Li. Let's see if he can stick to it. If he is smart and can endure hardships...

God, I'm really curious about how his mother gave birth to such a child."

Liu Yumei was getting ready to go to bed. She wanted to let down her hair first. When she reached out to take the bronze mirror on the dressing table, she touched nothing. After a closer look, where was the bronze mirror on the table?

But it was impossible for a thief to break into this room, and no one would touch her things, unless...

Liu Yumei walked to the bedroom and looked at her granddaughter who was sleeping soundly. Her granddaughter was holding a small wooden box in her arms.

"Ah Li, this girl, won't take my bronze mirror as a return gift, right?"

...

For the next two days, Li Zhuiyuan lived a very regular life, reading books and squatting.

Squatting was very painful on the first day. When I woke up in the morning, my legs were still sore. On the second day, I felt much more normal. By the third day, he could not even feel the pain and fatigue.

I just squatted in horse stance, imagined myself as a tree, growing on the ground, and followed Uncle Qin's teachings, following my breathing and heart rate rhythm, my body swayed slightly and dynamically, and even my brain, which felt drowsy after reading books all day, became much clearer.

However, Uncle Qin didn't teach me anything else except squatting in horse stance during these three nights.

Li Zhuiyuan was not anxious, because he made faster breakthroughs in reading books.

It was not difficult for him to just memorize and pile up arithmetic. After three full days and squatting in horse stance, he had read the seventh volume of "Explanation of Yin and Yang Physiognomy".

In addition, he also read three volumes of "Theory of Deduction of Fate" and barely mastered the basic algorithm of deducing fate.

However, he also knew that this was the advantage of his early stage of staking out the land by relying on his strong learning ability.

Later, if he wanted to go further, he would have to spend time and energy to overcome it bit by bit.

Especially the eighth volume of "Explanation of Yin-Yang Physiognomy", he has not started to read it yet, but in his heart, he already knows its difficulty, but this eighth volume is the most important!

However, even if he has not achieved great success, after learning these things, he always feels a little itchy in his heart, eager to try, and want to see the practical effect.

On the second-floor terrace, Li Sanjiang was lying on a rattan chair, smoking and drinking tea, while leisurely listening to "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty" on the radio.

Li Zhuiyuan came over and asked: "Grandpa, when is your birthday?"

"What's the matter?"

"I want to remember it in advance so that I can celebrate your birthday."

"Hey, it's not a coincidence. It was just before you went back to your hometown. The next time you celebrate, you have to wait until next year."

"Then tell me first so that I can write it down."

"Okay, okay."

Li Sanjiang told his birthday, and the little boy asked in detail, even asking about the time, but he didn't take it seriously and told it all.

Next, Li Sanjiang found that his great-grandson was looking at him carefully for a while, and then writing and drawing on the notebook.

"Xiaoyuan Hou, what are you writing?"

"Calculation."

"Math problem?"

"Yeah, almost."

"Let the grandfather have a look." Li Sanjiang reached out and took the notebook, and found that it was not numbers written on the notebook, but lines of horizontal and vertical bars that were either dense or loose.

"What is this?"

"Calculation steps."

"Do teachers teach this now?"

"Yeah, it's faster to calculate this way."

"Oh, then you should calculate well and learn well."

"Yeah." Li Zhuiyuan continued to calculate while observing the grandfather's face.

"Little Marquis Yuan, I'm going to Jiuxu Port tomorrow and won't be back at night. Han Hou said he wants to take you to fetch water?"

"Yes, I've agreed with you."

"Okay, then go out and get some fresh air. Your grandfather misses you too. I tell you, your grandfather loved your mother the most back then, but now he loves you the most. Your grandfather is very partial."

Finally, Li Zhuiyuan finished the calculation. His brows furrowed, and the whole person showed a dejected aura.

"Hey, Little Marquis Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

"Grandpa, I calculated it wrong."

"If it's wrong, it's wrong. Just know it's wrong. Just calculate it again. It's not a big deal."

Li Zhuiyuan nodded.

Based on his calculation of the grandfather's face and fate, he concluded that the grandfather's fate was:

[Early death, many diseases, short life span, dry money, water taboo, forbidden to take side roads. 】

Look at the results of my calculations, and then look at the grandfather lying in front of me listening to the opera.

If there were only one or two mistakes, or one or two ambiguities, it would be fine. After all, I haven't learned everything, so it's normal to have some mistakes.

But how did I get it all wrong?

No, it's not just a simple calculation error, it's all the opposite!

A strong sense of frustration is rising in the bottom of the heart. This is an experience in the past study life.

Earlier, I still had a little bit of complacent in my heart, and now I am gone.

"Master, I go back to the room to sleep."

"Okay, go, go to bed early, get you in the morning in the morning."

"Master, you also go to bed early."

Looking at the lonely back of Li Zhanyuan's departure, Li Sanjiang scratched his chin in surprise, and said:

Isn't this a wrong question? As for this?

Nympho

Back to the bedroom and sit down in front of the desk.

Li Zhanyuan looked at the two sets of books in front of him. Suddenly, there was a kind of impulse to throw the pen and pushing all the books on the ground.

He didn't want to learn anymore, and he had a bad school.

Hold the face with your left hand, and picked up the bronze mirror on the desk with your right hand.

That night he found that the little Go box was gone, and a very simple copper mirror appeared in place.

He knew that it should be that A Li took his gift and gave him a gift.

Itself in the bronze mirror was frustrated.

Looking at it, he suddenly felt that this was the normal performance that he should have at this age.

This time, when he faced this inexplicable emotion, he had no panic and fear, nor to repeatedly hypnotize and persuaded his identity.

Unexpectedly, the wrong question can have this effect.

Li Zhanyuan's frustration in his heart was slowly put away. He took the mirror with his left hand, continued to look at his face in the mirror, then picked up the pen in his right hand, and began to calculate.

I can count myself.

There is a saying that the doctor is not medical.

But than this sentence, there are countless times more taboos are ...

However, Li Zhanyuan is a depending on the two sets of books moved by the basement. There is no teacher teaching, and the author of the book obviously has not considered. I don't know such basic things. It's like the first page of the high -number textbook, and will not give you a nine -nine multiplication table.

Countless,

Li Zhanyuan felt that his brain was a little groggy.

It should be tired, um, sleep after counting.

Continue to calculate,

Feeling a runny nose, did you catch a cold?

Stretch your hands and look down, look down,

Fortunately, there is no cold.

Not a snot,

It's blood.

"Pap!"

Li Zhanyuan's small face stuck directly on the desk and passed out.
