Corpse Recovery Diver
Chapter 274 - 48_5

Chapter 274: Chapter 48_5

"Is it them?"

Li Zhiyuan loathed that dwarf who tried to act younger than he was.

To be honest, if they had been corpses at the time, he would have dealt with them already, not leaving such a hazard behind. Regrettably, they were alive.

From what he had experienced since returning to his hometown, it was clear that corpses really weren’t as terrifying as living people.

"Mhm, the tall one was dismembered, probably the work of Zhou Yong. The dwarf is also dead, seems like he was bitten to death by that mother and daughter."

"What did the police say?"

"They found quite a few skeletons in the dwarf’s courtyard, posed in special positions. There was also a lot of superstitious nonsense in his house, and the true identities and father-son relationship of the dwarf and his son were uncovered. Now, it’s determined that they belonged to some chaotic cult. They killed Zhou Yong’s family and finally performed a ritual in the river, sacrificing themselves as well."

"You’ve worked hard, Dad."

"Isn’t this the real truth?"

"Yes, indeed."

"By the way, Run Sheng gathered some things, packed them up, and placed them in the workshop. Brother Xiao Yuan, do you want to take a look?"

"What can I see with my current condition?"

"Pfff... Ah, sorry, brother, I couldn’t help it."

"Brother Binbin, could you run a bath for me? I want to take a shower first."

"Brother, let me scrub your back."

"No need, I’m not used to it."

"Okay, I’ll draw the bath for you first and then wait for you at the door."

Feeling refreshed after the bath, the fatigue from the journey seemed to dissipate.

Tan Wenbin couldn’t wait and asked, "Brother Xiao Yuan, about the thing you promised me..."

"Did Brother Run Sheng teach you how to use those tools?"

"Uh? No, he just taught me how to make paper figurines!"

"Let Brother Run Sheng teach you how to use the tools first, then I’ll try to teach you some other things, but they’re quite difficult."

"Haha, no matter how difficult, can it be harder than taking exams and doing assignments?" Suddenly, Tan Wenbin realized he had misspoken, "Brother, I misspoke, please don’t continue, definitely don’t go on!"

"Brother Binbin, you should start with the basics, I will let you use my set of tools."

"Really, Brother Xiao Yuan? That’s great!" He had been coveting that equipment for a long time. Run Sheng’s set was too big and heavy for him, but Xiao Yuan’s set was just right.

The reason Li Zhiyuan was planning to temporarily lend his equipment to Tan Wenbin was that his current physical state made it difficult to wield the tools. Moreover, he had now mastered the contents of the Black Book, giving him a powerful way to confront the corpses directly.

What if he needed tools by his side?

That was not a problem, as he wouldn’t face the corpses alone without Run Sheng and Tan Wenbin.

The boy returned to his favorite rattan chair and sat down, with Alii already waiting there. He reached out his hand, and Alii’s hand met his.

The two started playing chess in the air.

Since both were used to playing speed chess, to outsiders, it appeared as if the two children were simply gesturing in the air with clasped hands.

Tan Wenbin, who had come downstairs, asked in confusion, "What are they doing? It’s not even dark yet, and they’re already counting stars?"

Run Sheng looked up briefly and said, "Playing chess, I guess."

Tan Wenbin retorted in annoyance, "Are you treating me like a fool?"

Run Sheng couldn’t be bothered to explain.

"Brother Xiao Yuan said you have to teach me how to use those tools."

"Okay, sure."

"So, when will you teach me?"

"Let’s finish this batch of paper figurines first, someone needs them urgently."

"Why do they suddenly need so many?"

"The Niu family and three other families ordered them."

"One family having three rituals?"

"It’s that all three siblings from the three families died."

"Departing together, such deep sibling affection."

At these words, Run Sheng just smiled.

Tan Wenbin quickly realized something was wrong and asked, "Did I miss something again?"

"Let’s work now, and I’ll tell you when I teach you the tools tonight."

"Okay!"

To welcome the grandfather and grandson, Aunt Liu had prepared a rich dinner.

After Li Zhiyuan sat down, Tan Wenbin wanted to move closer, "Xiao Yuan, let me serve you some dishes, hey hey hey!"

Alii gave a cold glance.

Terrified, Tan Wenbin hastened back to his seat. He had thought the girl was tough to deal with, and even after facing the corpse - which should have toughened him up - he became increasingly fearful of her.

Li Zhiyuan picked up his chopsticks. While he was away seeking treatment for his eyes with Grandmaster, he had learned to eat without sight, only needing to locate the position of the dishes in advance and be more sensitive while using chopsticks.

However, when Li Zhiyuan picked up his bowl, he could feel that food had been added to it.

After Li Zhiyuan ate a couple of bites, more food was added to his bowl - the girl was serving him food.

"Hehehe, hehehe."

Li Sanjiang sipped his drink and watched this scene with a contented grin on his face.

He even looked down and showed a rare pleasing expression to Liu Yumei, who was sitting at a small round table in the distance.

Given that he had previously taken both house and land, he was naturally bold, but now his grandson was blind and it was uncertain whether he would recover. Confronting this shrewd old lady, he naturally had to humble himself.

Even the best conditions couldn’t outweigh a disability, especially this kind of eye disease. In those days, it meant almost losing the ability to work.

According to village customs, people with poor eyesight would likely marry others with the same issue.

Sigh, although this girl was a bit weird and mute, at least her eyes were normal.

And she was indeed beautiful, too bad Little Yuanhou could no longer see.

Li Zhiyuan was just focused on his meal, unaware that his Grandmaster was already deeply concerned about his future marriage.

Not only that, after dinner, Li Sanjiang was planning to bring some gifts to visit Liu Jinxia, intending to pave the way for his great-grandson’s future employment.
