Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1214 - 219:

"Little Yuanhou, is there anything?"

"No, it's empty."

Li Zhiyuan closed the cabinet door.

Liu Jinxia, lying on the sickbed, laughed and scolded:

"Stinky girl, your mind is still clear."

Liu Jinxia felt no resentment, only comforted; if Xiang Hou planned to do so, she would stop her, after all, she leaving doesn't matter, but Cui Cui still needs someone to take care of her.

Li Zhiyuan sat on the chair beside her, eating an apple.

Liu Jinxia's issue wasn't serious, at least that curse wasn't much to Li Zhiyuan, but the parasite, if outside, could easily break and kill even a doll, yet if it entered a human organ, it would be very troublesome.

He had to think of a way to lure that curse out.

"Grandma Liu, have you been traveling recently?"

"Why?"

"Just asking."

"I went on a trip to Salt City, invited by someone, conducted a ritual, went and returned the same day.

That family used to own a fishery in our town. Back then, when both their daughters-in-law were pregnant, they asked me to predict the gender.

I said both were sons, and it turned out they really were.

Later, they frequently asked for my predictions, always believing in my skills.

This time, their man passed away, so they invited me to perform a ritual.

Your Grandmaster went to Beijing for a trip. If he were home, I would have called him to go together.

That family is wealthy; they made money with the fishery before, then switched to a bigger fishery business and earned big."

Li Zhiyuan: Luckily, Grandmaster went to Beijing; if he'd gone with you, he might have brought something back too.

"Grandma Liu, did you perform the ritual alone?"

"How could that be? Many were invited, including monks and Taoists, not the fake ones we usually see, but those coming down from the mountains and temples, with an aura that's not staged."

Li Zhiyuan nodded, continuing to eat his apple.

Liu Jinxia: "Little Yuanhou... "

"Hmm?"

Liu Jinxia: "Play with Cui Cui more."

"Hmm."

Liu Jinxia said no more, her eyes open, gazing at the ceiling of the ward.

Li Sanjiang went out to buy some things and then stayed with Liu Jinxia, chatting.

Li Zhiyuan remained in the corner, deducing methods to attract the curse.

In the afternoon, Mr. Shan also came.

The three of them rambled by the sickbed for a long time.

Liu Jinxia was in great spirits, not tired at all.

Near dusk, Li Sanjiang and Mr. Shan got up to leave.

"Grandmaster, I'm here waiting for Cui Cui after school."

"Waiting for Cui Cui after school?"

Xiang Hou said, "Then let Little Yuanhou stay here. When I take Cui Cui back tonight, I'll bring Little Yuanhou back too."

Li Sanjiang nodded, "Then let's do that. Thank you, Xiang Hou."

Grandmaster and Mr. Shan left.

After school, Cui Cui came running with her backpack, sweating all over.

Seeing Brother Yuanhou also here, her eyes lit up; seeing Grandma looking better as she started drinking porridge, she finally smiled.

"Alright, you take the kids back; come back tomorrow morning, anyway, I've finished this IV."

"Then I'll take them back."

Cui Cui asked curiously, "Mom, aren't we staying with Grandma tonight?"

Liu Jinxia: "Cui Cui, listen, Grandma is well, you follow Mom home."

Being a caregiver is hard work; Liu Jinxia didn't want to see her granddaughter suffer.

Xiang Hou took Cui Cui and Li Zhiyuan out of the health clinic and went to a small restaurant outside for dinner, ordering several meat dishes.

Cui Cui thought Grandma was really well, so she ate happily.

Li Zhiyuan noticed Aunt Xiang Hou had no appetite but was forcing herself to stuff and swallow the meat.

She's aware she has to "work" tonight, so she's replenishing herself in advance.

After sending Cui Cui back, she probably would sneak away from home again at night and come to the ward.

After dinner, Aunt Xiang Hou took the two back to the village on her bicycle, first sending Li Zhiyuan back to the courtyard. After waving goodbye to Cui Cui, Li Zhiyuan walked into the West Room.

In the West Room, everything that needed to be prepared was ready, and the family's materials were abundant; it was a deluxe version of Liu Jinxia and her daughter's setup.

Run Sheng: "Little Yuan, what's wrong with Grandma Liu?"

Yin Meng and Lin Shuyou had little to do with Liu Jinxia, but Run Sheng had interacted with her many times due to Mr. Shan.

The three little group often completed a job, and after a celebratory meal, his grandpa would go for a second meal with Liu Jinxia just to talk bad about Li Sanjiang.

Li Zhiyuan: "Cursed."

Run Sheng was taken aback: "Cursed here?"

Li Zhiyuan shook his head: "No, cursed outside."

Though the one under the peach tree simply suppressed the Evil from getting close, Xuanmen people weren't included, as Xin Jiyue came last time.

But since Liu Jinxia lived in this village, who would dare come and curse someone here? Certainly, that one wouldn't allow it, given it's under its nose.

Li Zhiyuan went to the second floor, took a shower, changed clothes, and after telling Alii the arrangements for the night, initially planned to let Alii return to the East Room to rest, but Alii shook her head, refusing, and continued sitting in the room carving ancestor tablets.

Meaning she'll wait here for the teenager to return before going to rest in the room.

Li Zhiyuan agreed.

Mr. Shan stayed at home for dinner and drank with Li Sanjiang, both getting tipsy.

This wine, once it carried emotions, made it even more intoxicating.

Grandmaster was carried to the second-floor bedroom by Lin Shuyou, while Mr. Shan was put in the coffin he usually slept in by Run Sheng; actually, the one he slept in was Mr. Shan's pre-ordered coffin, so it counts as moving into a new home early.
