Chapter 1820 - 326:

Run Sheng was still savoring the experience; he enjoyed the beatings thoroughly.

There was a feeling as if the moves were being etched into his brain.

Tonight,

a lone Big White Rat stood by the riverbank, waiting all night.

Morning.

"Time for breakfast!"

Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou shivered but failed to pretend they were awake.

When Li Sanjiang came down the stairs, seeing the two still snoring, he wondered:

"Did they sneak out at night like thieves?"

The two didn't wake up until noon. Tan Wenbin was slightly better, just a bit dazed.

Lin Shuyou looked better, with clear eyes.

But in Ah You's eyes, the paper figures placed in the hall all seemed to be moving, punching, kicking, wielding knives, and swords.

Run Sheng was scolded by Li Sanjiang.

Because today Run Sheng broke three hoes, two carts, and one tricycle at home and even pushed a cartload of goods into the river.

Uncle Qin looked deep in thought because Run Sheng was with him this morning, both working in the fields and making deliveries.

He could clearly notice that, unlike before when Run Sheng relied solely on brute force and instinct, today he started to use techniques and skills, though still unpolished and mismatched.

The hardest thing in this world is probably teaching someone who doesn't like to think, to solve complex problems.

Liu Yumei sipped her tea and whispered to Uncle Qin:

"Jealous?"

"Hmm..."

Uncle Qin's attention was on the rice field behind the house because he knew these young people went there at night, so the change must have happened there.

Liu Yumei: "Alas, not having you meet a good mentor is ultimately my fault for holding you back."

Uncle Qin: "..."

At this moment, the dam was crowded with people, and Liu Jinxia, the Flower Woman, and others were walking down the path toward them. Otherwise, given Liu Yumei's temperament, Uncle Qin would likely have been sent flying by now.

The child you raise, you feel sorry for when it's time to be sorry, and you can kick them when it's time to kick.

After that, every evening, the "special training class" would commence.

Lin Shuyou and Tan Wenbin were both sluggish during the day.

Run Sheng was getting clumsier at work.

Even Li Sanjiang began to suspect if there's a mule plague in their pen?

Lin Fu'an and Chen Shoumen reported twice daily on the latest situation at the Official General Head Temple.

Resistance continued but was quickly extinguished.

The temple of the Official General in the mountains sent people down, but soon there was no more news.

Later, on the second night, rumors spread about a big commotion at the temple's location in the mountains.

This was mainly because during the last Fengdu incident, the Bodhisattva led a group of Yin Gods to attack the Ghost Gate and failed, leaving the Official General seriously injured and their strength at low ebb.

However, Li Zhiyuan thought that even without this incident, it would only cause some trouble for those people... not enough to change the situation.

After all, the reason they're taking action against you isn't that you're particularly weak, but because they know the Bodhisattva is no longer in the mortal world.

Li Zhiyuan's "Rapid Training Class" was to be paused.

The young man's actions could be considered overzealous, and the partners' digestion of the experience would take time, as they had reached their limit.

Meanwhile, new information came from Lin Fu'an:

Three days later, there would be a meeting at the old temple of the Official General in the mountains.

When Lin Shuyou told Tan Wenbin this news, Tan Wenbin looked at the TV, which was showing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," a drama that always aired during school breaks starring Huang Rihua and Weng Meiling.

Tan Wenbin: "Sounds like a martial arts tournament."

When Tan Wenbin relayed this news to Li Zhiyuan, Li Zhiyuan nodded:

"They've already set the stage."

"Brother Xiao Yuan, so we..."

"Depart tomorrow."

At the riverbank tonight, the Mouse stood firm in the evening breeze, waiting alone.

The cruelest thing in the world is giving hope and then extinguishing it.

Previously, when diners came, the Big White Rat was grumbling, but now that diners haven't come for days, the Big White Rat is eagerly awaiting them.

Finally, tonight, he saw someone coming.

The Big White Rat incredulously stepped back a few steps, fell to the ground, and tears fell. From a distance, given his attire, he looked like an emotionally distraught old woman ready to end it all by the river.

The fire on the stove roared, and the spatula stirred up afterimages as the Big White Rat quickly served the dishes.

His beady eyes fixed on the young man who came for the first time today.

When the young man took a bite and swallowed, the Big White Rat felt his scalp tingling, as if human skin was starting to grow here!

Lin Shuyou: "How is it, Brother Xiao Yuan, is it tasty?"

Li Zhiyuan: "Do you know what cost it takes to eat this?"

Lin Shuyou was stumped by the question.

Tan Wenbin: "Is it merit?"

Run Sheng immediately paused his chewing.

Li Zhiyuan looked at the Big White Rat and said, "Just a little bit of merit, consider it earning a meal at a restaurant, nothing much. Even the children Yin Gods could afford it in the past."

Run Sheng resumed chewing.

Li Zhiyuan looked at the river and said, "In the future, if you're hungry at night and want a snack, no need to come all the way here, have him deliver it to your home."

The Big White Rat immediately said, "Yes, yes, actually, not just snacks, I can deliver breakfast, lunch, and dinner too!"

Tan Wenbin: "If you come during the day to deliver food, just wait to be skinned."

The Big White Rat trembled with fear.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are Aunt Liu's job.

If suddenly a rat popped up to snatch her job, given Aunt Liu's temperament, it would likely be mouse jerky the next day.
