Chapter 39: The Second Digging

When Li Xin first came to this world, if it wasn't for the charcoal seller, he would have died in that broken temple, which is a real life-saving grace, and it can't be too much to repay.

And the words and deeds of this old carbon seller don't look like an ordinary bitter family, Li Xin even suspects that the reason why he wanted to save himself in the first place may be because his health is not very good, and he wants to find someone who can be entrusted to the little girl.

Now, the old man's approach confirms Li Xin's conjecture, this charcoal seller ended his life by himself just because of Li Xin's words, just to entrust the six-year-old girl to Li Xin's side.

After the old man closed his eyes, Li Xin sat on the edge of his bed in a daze for a long time.

This old man, who was so humble as the grass, resolutely ended his life.

The charcoal girl on the side threw herself into her grandfather's arms and cried.

Li Xin was in a daze for a long time before he stepped forward, gently patted the charcoal girl's back, and said softly: "Girl, ......"

He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any words of comfort, and finally he could only sigh.

"Condolences and change."

The little girl is only five or six years old, and she has only just begun to remember at this age, but she has been dependent on the charcoal seller since she was a child, and her feelings are naturally very deep.

Li Xin shook his head and said softly: "Girl, don't run around, I'll go and deal with the aftermath for my father-in-law." ”

Now that Li Xin is rich, he can't do it like his uncle, he found a coffin shop in the capital, spent money to buy a good thick coffin, and then hired a few people to carry the charcoal seller to Beishan outside the city.

The two grandparents and grandchildren have no relatives in the capital, and Li Xin has no relatives and friends in the capital, so the funeral is not ready to be a big deal.

Early the next morning, when Li Xin led people to pull the coffin to the vicinity of the wooden house in Beishan with a wooden cart, he found that the traces of the original wooden house had long since disappeared, leaving only an open space, and there was no trace of any buildings in the open space.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Xin's uncle's low grave was still nearby, Li Xin wouldn't even recognize this as the place where the original log cabin was.

The seventh prince is right, the people of Jingzhao Mansion will really wipe all the traces here.

In fact, it is not surprising if you think about it carefully, the matter of the big-character poster is so big, Jingzhao Mansion has already fallen into a disadvantageous situation in that incident, and Jingzhao Yin and Li Ye have also been demoted because of this, they must take care of this matter to avoid further trouble.

These things can be predicted in advance, not because he can pinch and calculate, but because these are common things in officialdom, and if you see a lot, you can guess it if you take it for granted.

It was morning, Li Xin looked up at the sky, turned back to the four or five hired men who carried the coffin, and said, "Go back, come back in the afternoon." ”

Among the four or five people, the one at the head was a black-faced man, and he bent over Li Xin and said, "Childe, do you want our brothers to help Childe find a reliable feng shui master, and this grave pit, if Childe doesn't have manpower here, our brothers can also help." ”

Li Xin took out the money from his arms, handed it to the man, shook his head and said: "The money will not be missing you, I don't need you now, just come to help carry the coffin into the pit in the afternoon, remember to bring more paper money." ”

The man took the money and nodded hurriedly: "That boy is busy here, and the villain will go back first." ”

Li Xin nodded.

After these people had walked away, he turned around and walked over to the coffin and patted the coffin, which was still quite thick.

In ancient times, the material of the coffin was first talked about, and then the weight was talked about, thick and thin, the heavier, the thicker the coffin, the better, the royal family was buried, and there would be a coffin outside the coffin, which was extremely heavy.

However, these are naturally unrealistic for ordinary people, for ordinary people, it is a good end to have a thin coffin, and if it is not good, it will be like Li Xin's uncle, only a straw mat wrapped around his body.

Now that Li Xin is rich, the coffin that sold the charcoal man cost him dozens of dollars relatively speaking, and it can be regarded as worthy of him.

This old man first saved his life, and then indirectly because he died, Li Xin was somewhat uncomfortable.

He took a handful of iron lifts from the wooden cart and walked in the direction of his uncle's grave, and then chose an open space not far from his uncle's grave.

At the beginning, Li Xin promised the old man that he would dig a grave for him when he left, which was a man's promise, and Li Xin did not forget it.

Although he could hire someone to do this now, he would always feel uneasy if he didn't dig it himself.

Although he didn't do it, it was inseparable from him, if the people from the Pingnan Hou Mansion hadn't come to burn down this house, then things would definitely not have developed to this point.

The iron lifted deep into the soil, and pieces of dirt flew up and down, Li Xin's face was expressionless, and the hatred for the Pingnan Hou Mansion in his heart was a little heavier.

That time, the Pingnan Hou Mansion came to send someone to burn down the house, and directly injured the old man to lie on the bed, unable to move, if it were not for the fact that he almost lost his mobility, the old man would not have used the method of seeking death to tie Li Xin to the charcoal girl together.

Thinking of this, Li Xinxin's anger finally had an outlet to vent.

When it was almost noon, a rectangular tomb had begun to appear, and Li Xin was sweating profusely and sat on the side to rest.

While wiping her tears, the little girl helped Li Xin carry the soil in the grave, and from time to time reached out to wipe Li Xin's sweat.

A carriage, coming from the direction of the capital, stopped not far from the tomb, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei, dressed in black, stepped down from the carriage, followed by the graceful Cui Jiuniang.

The Seventh Prince walked up to Li Xin and sighed slightly: "I just received the news, so it's late, the old man was fine a few days ago, how can you say that it's gone?" ”

Li Xin was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at the Seventh Prince, and said expressionlessly: "The people from the Pingnan Hou Mansion came to burn the house and injured the old man, the old man is old, and he can't be cured for a long time, and his condition deteriorated yesterday, so he went." ”

The Seventh Prince shook his head and didn't speak, he looked at the tomb that had already seen the scale of the tomb behind Li Xin, shook his head and said, "Where can you do these things alone, say hello to me, and I will send someone to help you deal with it." ”

Li Xin took a deep breath, got up from the ground, picked up the iron lift, and jumped off the grave.

"There are some things that can only be seen by doing it yourself, otherwise Li Xin will not be able to sleep in the middle of the night."

At this time, several blood blisters had been ground out of his hands, and every time he exerted force, it was a pain that pierced his heart.

This incident has made Li Xin's understanding of this unknown era a lot clearer.

If you don't have the strength, you can only be like a charcoal seller, let others handle it, and in the end you can only use your own life as a last resort.

The Seventh Prince put his hands behind his back and looked at Li Xin, who was sweating like rain in the tomb, his face was a little complicated.

This young man in Yongzhou is very different from those cool young people in the capital...
