Let's get right to it.
Just as Zhao Youliang was about to set off with Liao Zhiyuan, Li Mao walked over from afar... looking dejected.
"Li Mao, what brings you here? Didn't you say you were going to spend time with your wife and kids?"
"My wife and son are asleep, and I'm in a bad mood, so I came to do some work," Li Mao said listlessly.
"We can't just stay at home and wait to die. We should work every day we can to earn money and save more for them."
Li Mao paused briefly at this point: "Oh right, I just heard you guys talking about my grandfather."
"What's wrong? Did he appear in your dreams too?"
Zhao Youliang: "......"
While speechless, Zhao Youliang suddenly realized a problem: he was at least a hundred meters away from Li Mao and was speaking in hushed tones, so how could Li Mao hear him so clearly?
Let alone a person, even a big yellow dog wouldn't be able to hear it from this distance!
"Li Mao, have you noticed any changes in yourself?"
"I mean, except for the fact that I'm going to die."
"Changes?" Li Mao was taken aback: "Does it count as being able to eat more?"
Zhao Youliang: "......"
"Forget it... are you coming to find the Ghost Cart and fight it out?"
"If you don't want to go, then help out at the barbecue restaurant... Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to extend your lifespan!"
“Quantum, even if you didn’t say it, I know you would do your best to help.” Li Mao wasn’t stupid at this moment.
“I’ll go with you. I want to accumulate good deeds while I’m still alive so that I’ll suffer less when I die.”
"Oh, right, Quantum, you've got a huge debt of debt down there, you can't let it drag me down with you, can you?"
"I never guaranteed anything for you!"
Zhao Youliang: "......"
Too lazy to pay attention to Li Mao, Zhao Youliang greeted Yingchun's sister-in-law, then mounted his old bicycle, carrying Chang Jie, and set off straight away.
Li Mao rode another old-fashioned bicycle, carrying Liao Zhiyuan on his back, keeping up closely.
During their race, Zhao Youliang was astonished to find that Li Mao's strength had increased significantly.
Although carrying Liao Zhiyuan, he managed to leave himself far behind.
To put it simply, if it weren't for the limitations of bicycles, Li Mao could have gone even faster.
Good heavens, the bicycle chain is sparking from all the pedaling!
"Holy crap, has Li Mao mutated or is he having a final burst of energy before death?"
"Even when others are dying, they don't fight this fiercely!"
After Zhao Youliang finished speaking, the grasshopper spirit's unique voice rang out.
"Quantum, are you subtly criticizing me, the old sage?"
"No, no, how could that be!" Zhao Youliang hurriedly denied it, and buried his head in his feet, pedaling hard so that Li Mao wouldn't fall too far behind him.
Because he was chasing too fast, he didn't notice that Li Mao in front of him had already stopped with a "foot brake".
The two collided with a bang, and amidst screams, they tumbled to the ground like rolling gourds.
Li Mao grimaced and complained, "Damn it, Quantum, you deliberately crashed into me, didn't you?!"
Zhao Youliang retorted, "Bullshit! Who knew you'd suddenly stop? We haven't even reached our destination yet... Wait, this is your grandfather's grave?"
"Why did you bring me here? To listen to your grandpa preach?"
When the topic of preaching came up, the adorable Chang Jie instinctively pulled out the Bible from the eggshell and began to chant.
"Aliluya, oh my god... Aliluya."
"Quantum, why do I always burn my mouth when I read this book aloud? Another big blister..."
Surprisingly, Chang Jie's chanting actually summoned Li Mao's grandfather, Li Lianying.
Not only him, but also the neighbors who were unable to reincarnate due to their religious beliefs came out.
Everyone was dressed in white robes and chanted along with Chang Jie.
"Ariellujah, ariellujah."
Their uniform attire and singing style resembled a gathering of patients... a formal church.
Seeing this, Li Mao impatiently interrupted.
"Alright, alright, sir, you should take a rest!"
"We're not even letting you reincarnate, and you still have the mind to sing?!"
"Instead of wasting your energy, you should focus on your cultivation. If you become powerful enough, you can grant my wish and buy me a Cadillac or something."
Faced with these unfilial descendants, old man Li Lianying flew into a rage, jumped up and smacked Li Mao hard on the head.
"How many times have I told you, kid? I'm not a turtle in a wishing well; I don't have the power to grant wishes!"
"If you want a luxury car, go earn the money yourself! I'm dead and you're still going to sponge off me?!"
"If all else fails, you can gnaw on one of my healthy bones!"
Old Master Li suddenly stopped cursing, his face full of panic: "No, no way, are you going to die?"
"When I last saw you, you were perfectly fine!!"
"What's wrong? What kind of immoral things have you done these past few days? Did you dig up someone's ancestral grave or break up someone's family?!"
Li Mao had no choice but to recount what had happened to him.
Old Master Li listened in a daze, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is... But you have a son now, so let him die, as long as the Li family line continues."
"Alright, that's settled then."
“If there’s nothing else, Grandpa will go back to my grave to rest. You should also go home and get ready. Order the coffin, band, and stuff in advance.”
"Don't wait until the day you die when it's too late to do anything and you're completely caught off guard!"
Faced with the "indifferent" old man Li, Li Maoda was speechless.
He thought to himself: Is he even my real grandfather? His own grandson is about to die, and he's not worried at all?
And they told me to prepare in advance... Should I dig a hole, lie down in it, and bury myself?!
Seeing that Old Master Li was really going to go back to his grave to lie down, Zhao Youliang quickly stopped him.
"Old man, I have something to ask you about, it's about the ghost cart incident last time..."
Upon hearing the mention of this eerie thing, Li Lianying was immediately startled.
"You want to deal with it? That thing is incredibly dangerous!"
"Over the years, I don't know how many neighbors have been abducted by it!"
"Is the book that was stolen important? If it's not important, then forget about it."
"It's not worth risking your life against the ghostly vehicle; it's too eerie..."
"Furthermore, the things you're looking for that the Yinlingche fears are even more sinister."
Upon hearing what Grandpa Li said, Zhao Youliang immediately perked up.
"Grandpa, do you know what the Yin Spirit Cart is afraid of? Tell me quickly!"
"To be honest, even if I lose my life, I cannot lose the scriptures my master gave me!"
Seeing Zhao Youliang's insistence, and considering that his grandson was going to die anyway, it was just a matter of a few days sooner or later, Grandpa Li Lianying stopped trying to dissuade him.
After a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke.
“After we separated a while ago, a few of us old neighbors secretly studied the places that the ghost carriage dared not pass through.”
"After studying it for a long time, I finally figured out the general idea of what happened."
"It's just a guess, but it should be about right... You know about this custom in the countryside, right?"
"It's about having a child with a poor physique find a godfather or god-grandfather... someone who isn't even human."
