Corpse Recovery Diver

Chapter 1549 283:

When Run Sheng asked where Yin Meng was, Zhao Yi didn't joke like Lin Chen did with Tan Wenbin, and directly explained the situation.At this moment, Zhao Yi took Run Sheng to "sweep the grave" for Yin Meng.

Lin Shuyou took Li to find a place to stay nearby; he and Tan Wenbin were both posing as "students," so it wasn't convenient for them to show up.

Li Zhiyuan was very cautious when dealing with Mr. Zhai and those going to Fengdu like Mr. Luo and Xue Liangliang, not wanting his rash actions to affect certain ongoing karmic consequences.

After regaining his spirits, Li Zhiyuan went downstairs to eat, but it was already past mealtime, and everyone else had finished eating.

Upon entering, he saw three chessboards set up on an empty table in the dining room; Mr. Zhai was playing against three people alone.

Although it's not blindfold chess, which would be significantly harder, and the disciples he's playing against have average skills, it's still remarkable to handle three games simultaneously at such an age.

Li Zhiyuan finished eating just as the chess games ended one after another; they were played quickly.

The young man was about to head to the truck to check on the Liang Sisters' condition, but Mr. Zhai stopped him and said, "Child, come over here; keep Grandpa company in a game of chess."

If Li Zhiyuan said he couldn't play, that would lead to: No worries, Grandpa will teach you.

The main thing was Mr. Zhai had a very good impression of the young man and wanted to get closer to him.

Li Zhiyuan couldn't refuse, so he sat down, with two others beside him, making it three against one again.

As they played, Mr. Zhai noticed something was off; this child's chess skills were genuinely impressive. He immediately waved his hand to indicate the other two mediocre players to withdraw their pieces, focusing on the game against the young man.

"Kid, where's your hometown…Ah, my memory…"

"Nantong."

"Right, Nantong. This name is really hard to remember, unlike Jinghai, which sounds nicer. Nowadays, many place names have been changed, losing their original flavor."

"Grandpa, where is your hometown?"

Yesterday during dinner, it was primarily Mr. Zhai being polite, asking a few questions with Zhao Yi giving brief answers without deeper conversation.

"Me, I'm from Nanyang. Know where that is?"

"Henan."

"Correct, haha."

However, Li Zhiyuan remembered seeing an introduction about Mr. Zhai before, which stated he was from Xi'an, so either the report was wrong or Mr. Zhai was listing his ancestral home.

"It's a good thing you have a brother to protect you. When I was little, I had a sister who looked out for me too."

As Mr. Zhai said this, his eyes revealed a nostalgic expression, suggesting the sister might no longer be around.

In this game, Li Zhiyuan won.

Actually, the young man could sense that Mr. Zhai's chess skills were superior to his, but due to his age, after playing three games in a row, and all at a quick pace, his energy was notably depleted towards the end.

"Old age catches up, you can't deny it," Mr. Zhai said as he took a water cup handed by a disciple and drank a few sips. "Child, you have a good mind, really clever."

Then, Mr. Zhai glanced around and asked, "Qian Ying and Wu Lan haven't returned yet?"

An older person nearby replied, "No, not yet. They went to the temple on the hill to burn incense for romantic fortune. Who knows where they're hanging out now."

Once he said this, everyone laughed.

Qian Ying and Wu Lan were the youngest people in this group, and they were dating.

Mr. Zhai said, "What's so funny? Weren't you all young once?"

"Teacher, I'm middle-aged now, not married yet."

"Teacher, my hair is receding, and I don't have a partner."

Mr. Zhai gave them a glance and said, "When the organization arranged meetups, who was it that didn't actively participate?"

"Teacher, we participated; all we did there was clap."

"Last time some of us went, we overate snacks and even got sarcastic comments from the organizing staff."

Mr. Zhai waved his hand, indicating to end the topic. Their line of work was tough; traveling around the country made marriage a challenging issue—not only getting married but maintaining it post-marriage was difficult too.

They finally accepted a female disciple, who was instantly taken by a young male disciple from the same batch, probably fearing remaining single like their senior brothers.

Li Zhiyuan didn't engage in their internal topic, and after leaving the table, he went outside to check the truck.

Although the Liang Sisters hadn't awakened yet, their breathing was much stronger than before, and they should regain consciousness after a day.

After leaving the truck, the young man was about to head back indoors when he suddenly stopped and looked towards the direction of the mountain.

On the same side, spaced out between several houses, was a small two-story building where Lin Shuyou stayed overnight. They wanted to pay for the room but the host family, being hospitable, wouldn't accept it.

Lin Shuyou had washed his dirty clothes and was headed upstairs to hang them to dry; only after stepping out onto the balcony did he remember it was pouring rain.

Sighing helplessly, he intended to find a rack to hang the clothes indoors, but he noticed two people coming down from the road at the mountain top.

A young man and woman; the man had his arm around the woman's waist, and she was nestling against him, sharing an umbrella.

From the hill, mist rose and just spread out in the rain, like deliberately following the pair closely.

This scene indeed had a unique beauty.

If only the couple's walk wasn't so wobbly, the effect would be better. But it couldn't be helped, given the heavy wind and rain.

Lin Shuyou chuckled, turned around to hang up the clothes, and then abruptly stopped, whipping his head back to have another look, his shuping struggled several times before barely activating.

Only then did he clearly see that behind the honey-sweet couple, there were two indistinct figures clinging closely, with the young couple's feet stepping directly on those figures' feet!

Lin Shuyou instantly intoned in a serious voice:

"Evil ghost, only kill, cough…"

"Evil ghost, cough cough cough…"

Despite several tries, he couldn't completely recite the formula, not to mention his shuping was dissipating.

Ah You's current state was similar to Tan Wenbin's, severely injured and exhausted; while awake, the things within wasn't fully active.

Lin Shuyou didn't give up, persistently calling for the child.

"Evil ghost, only…"

"Evil ghost…"

The couple stopped in front of the house where Lin Shuyou was staying, turned around to face the courtyard, then simultaneously lifted their heads to look at Lin Shuyou standing on the balcony.

Lin Shuyou scratched his head, slightly embarrassed, and said:

"Um, I wasn't calling you two."
