Corpse Recovery Diver

Xue Liangliang didn't know what these two packages contained, and he felt unworthy of accepting them.

Because he knew clearly that he hadn't been able to offer them any practical help, only emotional support.

Zhao Yi: "Let's keep up with them."

After a pause, Zhao Yi shouted loudly:

"I won't let them come back; if they do come back, it's because I let them on purpose!

If anything happens to you, Li Zhiyuan, in the next ten days, it will be because of me.

Hey, I'm telling you, don't you dare commit suicide just to set me up!"

Li Zhiyuan, inside the room, rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

After saying all this, Zhao Yi and his men also left the earthen building.

Li Zhiyuan knew that, in essence, Zhao Yi didn't dare to gamble.

But Zhao Yi managed to take a step back and imitate the mindset of his ancestors; it was a loss turned into a gain.

The Jiujiang Zhao Family was established due to Zhao Wuyang, and the Zhao Wuyang of those days was probably not much different from Xiong Shan, both emerging from humble beginnings. Yet, he managed to become the Dragon King in the end; such a person is truly remarkable.

Xiong Shan didn't have this mindset, so he was destined to fail and not go far.

Xue Liangliang went upstairs, opened the door, and quietly asked: "Xiao Yuan, should we continue the act?"

"No need to act anymore, thank you for your hard work, Brother Liangliang."

"It's no trouble; it's what I should do. So now we…"

"Let me sleep for a while first."

"Alright, they left some pills in the next room, categorized, with a bottle beside each person's head, in different colors."

"Feed them to Run Sheng and the others."

Since Zhao Yi decided not to gamble, he naturally would do a favor with ease. It's instinct for smart people to avoid risk and also instinct to maximize benefits.

Besides, when this kid was traveling, he definitely carried good stuff with him; the miraculous medicines of the Jiujiang Zhao family shouldn't go to waste.

"Alright, you rest well."

Li Zhiyuan closed his eyes and slept a whole night. After waking up, he had Xue Liangliang dissolve the remaining pills with hot water and served himself a drink before falling asleep again.

The pill was dissolved into three bowls, and Li Zhiyuan took three naps.

Upon waking up, he was still weak but not completely powerless.

He went next door to check on his companions.

Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou had woken up but couldn't get out of bed, which was normal.

Every time they used their last-ditch moves, they would end up like this. Moreover, because they had taken the pills Zhao Yi left behind, they woke up much earlier than usual.

Yin Meng and Tan Wenbin were still unconscious.

It seemed that the pills Zhao Yi left had no effect on Yin Meng's poison.

This…was unsurprising.

Li Zhiyuan took some bottles labeled as antidotes from Yin Meng's bag, opened them and sniffed them carefully, selecting the gentlest one to have Xue Liangliang dissolve it in hot water and feed it to her.

The young man didn't dare to mix them recklessly.

But shortly after drinking it, Yin Meng began to vomit, expelling a lot of black liquid.

Seeing it was effective, Li Zhiyuan instructed Xue Liangliang to continue feeding it to her three times a day, a capful mixed with water each time.

The Gu Worm was still clutched in Yin Meng's hand.

This seemed to have become her obsession.

The two long black whiskers reminded Li Zhiyuan of southern cockroaches.

The young man touched the black whiskers a few times; this time, they didn't react.

Hopefully, its vitality would be as tenacious as that of a cockroach.

As for Tan Wenbin, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked haggard, still not waking up, which was quite strange.

Li Zhiyuan recalled the child's graffiti all over the wall paintings and suspected that the reason Tan Wenbin hadn't woken up was that the two resentful babies absorbed too much resentment from the paintings.

Originally, carrying two resentful babies on his shoulders had already affected Tan Wenbin's life, and now that the resentful babies had eaten too much and fallen asleep, it burdened Tan Wenbin so much he couldn't wake up.

Li Zhiyuan took the bottle of pills Zhao Yi left for Tan Wenbin, poured a few into his palm, and brought them to his nose for a smell:

Rehmannia Pill?

"Brother Liangliang, continue feeding this to Binbin."

"Alright."

"For this one, it doesn't have to be one pill at a time; you can give him several at once, or heck, a handful at a time."

"Ah, then I was feeding too little before."

Cui Hao and Li Ren were still hiding at the Zhaojun Temple.

Li Zhiyuan couldn't be bothered with those two.

However, after recovering his mobility, Xue Liangliang would occasionally spare time to go to Zhaojun Temple to throw them some supplies.

A few days later, Lin Shuyou could get out of bed and move, which was much faster than before.

Aside from the effect of Zhao Yi's pills, it was likely Ah You's body had adapted to the impact of the talisman needle. Of course, it's more likely that the child adapted first.

The next one to get out of bed was Run Sheng.

Though the two still couldn't do heavy labor, at least they could help share the burden of caring for others.

Ran Dacheng drank too much at the Miao Village last time; after a night of hangover, he found his tractor missing the next day, thinking it was stolen, and tearfully walked back to the village. When he found the tractor, he was overjoyed.

Xue Liangliang expressed his apologies and promised to help arrange for him to continue handling logistical procurement when the construction team returned.

The construction team indeed was about to return; the post-holiday resumption was much later, as they had to recruit in nearby counties again.

Mainly because too many accidents had happened on the site last year, causing many workers to collect their wages and not dare to return to this site after celebrating the New Year.

Yin Meng woke up.

The first thing she did after waking up was to check the Gu Worm she had been holding for so long.

Upon seeing the Gu Worm motionless, she let out a scream, thinking the invincible poison she had selected from a swarm of insects had been crushed to death by her grasp.

But when Yin Meng poured some poison to stimulate it, the little guy immediately got scared and perked up again.

Yin Meng was furious: "You were pretending to be dead!"

The two small packages given to Xue Liangliang by the Corpse Gu Sect duo contained a black, tortoise jelly-like substance.

After Yin Meng's inspection, it was excellent Gu Worm feed.

To a Gu Master, this was indeed the most suitable gift. They couldn't very well gift Xue Liangliang two Gu Worms, could they?

Naturally, Xue Liangliang gave these two packages to Yin Meng.

He would occasionally wonder if that pair succeeded or not.

The reality was that Zhao Yi used those two as tools to find clues, and it was hard to say if they could get out alive from under Zhao Yi's watch.

But such is fate.

The night before the construction team arrived, Tan Wenbin finally woke up.

Upon waking, Tan Wenbin looked up, his eyes vacant, staring blankly at the ceiling, saying:

"I had a very, very long dream, where I kept eating; I'm worried I might develop anorexia because of it."

Lin Shuyou: "Thank heavens, Brother Bin, you finally woke up. Otherwise, bringing an unconscious you back, I really wouldn't know how to explain to sister-in-law."

Run Sheng: "Almost a shock."

After Tan Wenbin woke up, that night, Li Zhiyuan sat with him and recounted the prior events, including Zhao Yi's matter.

This was a deserved privilege for being the team's second brain.

After listening, Tan Wenbin asked puzzledly:

"Brother Xiao Yuan, you said that boy forgot about his Gu child brother because of your concealment, I understand that.

But his mom, who was that Old Transgender, didn't she die beside him? Why didn't he use that mirror secret technique to temporarily 'resurrect' his mom?

Although he personally killed his mom, if he really 'resurrected' her, I think she would likely still help him against you, Brother Xiao Yuan."

Li Zhiyuan poured out the remaining Rehmannia Pills from the bottle and brought them to Tan Wenbin's mouth.

Tan Wenbin opened his mouth and ate them all like they were candy beans.

After setting the bottle down, Li Zhiyuan responded:

"Because, like Zhao Yi, he didn't dare to gamble."
