I drank fox milk three more times that night, basically every two or three hours, and my appetite was astonishing. From the first three wet nurses, to the end, it took ten wet nurses at a time to feed me.

What's even more amazing is that my intelligence is completely proportional to my food intake. Not only do they eat a lot, they also grow very fast.

On the third night, when Grandma Bai took me out of Linglong Tower, I was almost as old as a three-year-old child. Everyone was very surprised when they saw this scene.

"Oh! This child weighed more than ten pounds when he was born. How did he grow so big in three days?"

"Grandma, put him down and see if he can walk?"

"Okay! Okay! I'll put him down now."

As soon as Grandma Bai put me on the ground, I opened my hands and stumbled towards Hu Cuicui, which shocked Hu Cuicui.

"Eat grandma! I want to eat grandma!"

As soon as I hugged Hu Cuicui, I put my head into her armpit.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

"You little rascal!"

"Ha ha!"

Everyone followed me. Hu Cuicui broke away from my little hand and turned around to run away. I followed her relentlessly, chasing her three times in the secret room before stopping, staring at her angrily.

"It's lawless, this kid!" Hu Cuicui gasped, dripping with sweat from running.

All five people were smiling and extremely satisfied with my growth rate.

By the fourth day, I no longer wanted to be in the secret room.

When Grandma Bai saw this, she asked a wet nurse named Hanxiang to carry me out and show me to my mother.

The moment my mother saw me, she was stunned.

"Is this...are you sure it's my child? Why is it so big just a few days after birth?"

Just as Hanxiang was about to hand me over to her mother, I burst into tears and yelled an ambiguous word: "Ghost... ghost!"

"Shh! Don't be afraid, my son..."

My mother knew her identity, so she could only look at me from a distance, with tears streaming down her face.

"My son, as long as you are happy, it will be good for you as your mother!"

"Grandma Bai, I'll leave it to you from now on! Seeing that Chengfeng is being raised so well by you, I, as a mother, can finally feel relieved. I'll go back tonight, and I'll take care of everything!"

"Girl! I admire you for being so brave. I give you this whistle. If there is any trouble in the ghost gate in the future, you can blow it. When the time comes, if I am here, I will lead the five families to go to support!"

"Thank you grandma!"

Grandma Bai walked over, held her mother in her arms, reached out and patted her back.

"Don't worry! The child has five of us, no one dares to touch him!"

"Okay! Say goodbye to Shen Yuan!"

My mother took one last look at me and left with tears in her eyes.

That night, the originally bustling courtyard suddenly became a little strange.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! From now on, except for people from the Long Family and the Five Families, all villagers and Mr. Long's relatives and friends, please move outside the courtyard. All your burning paper with some fragrance will be done outside the courtyard!"

A hunky-backed man said loudly to the guests in the courtyard. The guests talked a lot, and some people expressed dissatisfaction, saying that they had come all the way to pay homage to their good friend, and they were kicked out without even taking a bite of the hot meal.

Some people also expressed their understanding, saying that with an identity like Long Changming's, it would inevitably offend some people, and it was understandable for safety reasons.

"Everyone, I'm sorry."

"Although we are not in the courtyard, the guests who come from afar can have a meal of mutton before leaving! Our Long family is short of everything else, but we don't lack this food. Beef and mutton are all provided."

So the next morning, the second uncle and the others arranged for a ceremony table to be set up at the courtyard gate, and anyone who received the gift would be given a pack of cigarettes. In addition, when people in the village heard that grandpa's funeral was going on, they all came over to watch the fun.

Some villagers who had been favored by Grandpa took the initiative to help kill cattle and sheep.

At noon that day, they killed two cows and five sheep, and set up dozens of tables in the open space outside the yard.

The originally deserted scene suddenly became lively.

All the children in the village came to eat, and for a while, the open space outside the yard was crowded and lively.

Grandma Bai saw this scene and nodded in praise: "As expected of the Four Heroes of Longmen, these Long family brothers are very orderly in their work. They knew clearly that the people from Qimen Punishment Hall were coming to enforce the law, but instead of hiding, they made the funeral so big! On the contrary, The way he did it made it impossible for the people in the execution hall to do anything. They couldn't kill people in front of so many villagers and children, right?"

"High! This move is really high!"

Even Mr. Gray, who is good at divination, couldn't help but praise him.

In this way, grandpa's friends during his lifetime, as well as villagers from ten miles and eight villages, who had benefited from grandpa, all came after hearing the news. There were even women kneeling outside the courtyard and crying loudly while looking at their grandfather's funeral shed.

"Mr. Long, the child was seriously ill back then. If Mr. Long hadn't come to the rescue, my son would have died."

"If a good man is not alive, it will bring disaster to the world for a thousand years! Mr. Long..."

Sir, is a respectful title for the mage in our local area. Therefore, when these villagers mourn, they will speak of Mr. Long. It’s not that the villagers in our area have high cultural quality.

"Mr. Long, do you still remember asking you to come over and do a feng shui check on our family a few years ago? Our Wu family has been in decline for many years. Since Mr. Long changed the feng shui for our family, my little incompetent son actually went to college! "

"Thank you, Mr. Long!"

A villager and a man who looked like a college student actually hung a white cloth on his head to express his condolences to his grandfather.

Among the crowd, there was only one man wearing a bamboo hat, silent and with a frosty face.

This man sat at a table by himself, with only a bowl of white rice and a cup of tartary buckwheat tea in front of him. A cook came over with a teapot of mutton soup and asked him if he wanted a bowl. The man didn't answer and just shook his hand.

After about half an hour, the man got up and left.

The second master came over and asked the third master: "Did the person who left just now show any courtesy?"

The third master shook his head and said he didn't see it. The second master then touched his chin and said: "This person is probably sent by the torture hall to inquire about the situation. Everyone, cheer up. After tonight, the fourth brother will be buried in peace!"

As a result, there were dozens of Longmen disciples inside and outside the courtyard, guarding Grandpa's spirit.

After a busy day, not only did the Longmen disciples find no suspicious persons, but even the Xianjia disciples lurking around the village found nothing unusual. It seems that the execution hall does not intend to take action in the village.

In the evening, the unsuspecting villagers continued to play cards and drink outside the yard. Countless children are playing games, some are playing eagle to catch chicks, and some are playing hide and seek.

Only Liu Er's family didn't come from the beginning to the end. Just when grandpa was about to be buried, they came crying and saying that their son was missing. Some people said it was related to grandpa!
