Corpse Recovery Diver

Chapter 70: Chapter 14_2

"Okay, Uncle."

An old-fashioned bicycle was ridden out by Uncle Qin. Li Zhiyuan wanted to sit on the back seat, but Uncle Qin grabbed him with one hand and placed him on the front bar instead.

As the two rode downhill and left, Qin Li subconsciously started to walk in that direction but was seized by Liu Yumei.

The girl’s eyelashes began to flutter.

"Alii, Grandma knows you want to play with Xiaoyuan, but Xiaoyuan has his own things to do right now. You should wait at home for him to return after he’s finished.

If you just keep sticking to him, it might make him feel tired and annoyed, and then he might not want to play with you anymore."

Hearing this, the girl turned her head to look at her grandmother. In her gaze, a hint of barely noticeable confusion seemed to flicker.

But Liu Yumei still caught it. She was very pleased, yet also very sad.

She hadn’t been able to sense any other emotions from her granddaughter for so long, and now she finally did, even if it was while she was saying something like this.

"Alii, Grandma doesn’t mean that Xiaoyuan would really hate you. When he gets back, Grandma will help you get all dressed up and pretty to play with him, okay?

The truth is, Xiaoyuan cares about you a lot. That boy is clever; he could easily have taken you along and said he was going to Shigang to find his Grandmaster to force us to comply.

But he didn’t do that.

So, Grandma just decided to return the favor."

...

The bicycle rode very steadily, and sitting on the front bar while being encircled by the rider’s arms gave a sense of protection.

Li Zhiyuan held a Peach Wood Sword in his hand, while his gaze kept sweeping over Uncle Qin’s muscular arms.

*Looking at his own small arms and legs, although they were fairer than Uncle Qin’s, it was clear they were just for show and not very useful.*

"Uncle Qin, have you trained before?"

"Hmm."

Uncle Qin was a bit surprised. He had put the boy on his front bar to conveniently find a chance to talk, but he didn’t expect the boy to start the conversation first.

"Uncle Qin, can you fight?"

"Uncle can’t."

"Impossible, right?" Li Zhiyuan reached out his fingers to pinch Uncle Qin’s forearm. The touch was not as hard as it seemed but very firm.

"Really, I’m not lying to you, Xiaoyuan. Uncle can’t fight people."

"Does Uncle practice regularly?"

"With both working and farming to do, it’s busy. There’s no time to practice separately, but after getting the basics of kung fu, you can practice it while doing anything."

"I want to learn."

"Xiaoyuan, do you think it’s like watching ’Shaolin Temple’?"

The movie ’Shaolin Temple,’ starring Jet Li, was already popular all over the country. Even now, it was a frequent feature in open-air cinema screenings in rural areas.

"Uncle, I know it will be very hard, but I’m not afraid."

"It’s not just hardship. The times have changed. No matter how good your kung fu is, can it beat a bullet?"

"It’s also good for exercise."

"Haha."

"Uncle Qin, please find some time to teach me."

"Jianghu Chronicles," though merely an introductory encyclopedia of corpse characteristics, through continuous reading, Li Zhiyuan also realized that many corpses generally had the trait of great strength. Moreover, in special and strange environments, sometimes it truly depended on the physical fitness of the corpse recovery diver to force their way through.

The book also noted many weaknesses and attack methods for corpses. It’s not like you could just use talisman paper and magic techniques to turn corpses into dust; it truly relied on hands-on techniques.

The most common and practical techniques included back skills, wrestling, grappling, leg wraps...

In some illustrations, Li Zhiyuan could see that this didn’t seem like traditional close combat. Judging by the depicted actions of the figures, it looked like kung fu specifically designed for fighting corpses.

Moreover, Run Sheng’s appearance yesterday also helped Li Zhiyuan dispel the reading fog in his mind.

Even though Run Sheng ate a lot and had some strange traits, in reality, Run Sheng was the most standard physique for a corpse recovery diver.

Also, his own Grandmaster’s physical fitness was excellent too. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to carry corpses from Shanghai Beach all the way to now, even at this age, still able to easily carry him on the country paths.

Seeing Uncle Qin hadn’t replied, Li Zhiyuan asked again, "Uncle?"

Uncle Qin looked down at Li Zhiyuan, "You’d have to ask for the elders’ consent."

"Okay, I’ll ask when we go back."

Here, the elder that Uncle Qin referred to was vague, but Li Zhiyuan knew he meant Grandma Liu.

"Xiaoyuan, Uncle has something to explain to you in advance."

"Uncle, go ahead."

"Uncle is a lazy person. I only do what’s within my duties, and outside of that, Uncle won’t do it."

"How could that be? Uncle, you’re clearly very hardworking."

Even in the current rural areas, Uncle Qin was among the most diligent and capable, working the fields, crafting, and delivering goods. Even the village’s old ox wasn’t as hardworking as him.

"What Uncle says is true. If it’s not something Uncle is supposed to do, even if Uncle stood right next to it, with a soy sauce bottle falling over, no matter how much spilled out, Uncle wouldn’t reach out to help it up."

"Really?"

"Really."

Li Zhiyuan remained silent.

*Uncle Qin sighed inside. Talking with this child, he truly felt like he was conversing with a smart person. He could sense that the child understood his meaning.*

After a long while, Li Zhiyuan responded, "Uncle, I understand."

"Hmm."

Si Yuan Village was already located at the north end of Shinan Town, adjacent to Shigang Town. Moreover, Uncle Qin took the small paths, which were more time-saving when passing through the village.

After reaching the road that belonged to Shigang Town, Uncle Qin continued riding toward their destination.

"Uncle, do you know the location?"

"I do. I once delivered tables and chairs to that village."

"Oh."

"Or do you want to first buy something at the department store in town?"
