After some bargaining, Li Yan promised Ma Tao that no matter whether Majia Village could be revitalized, within a year, he would fund the reconstruction of the ancestral hall in Majia Village.

"Lao Tie, I promised you that it will be done, and you must not forget the thing I told. Li Yan reminded.

Ma Tao knew what he was referring to, and immediately responded: "Xiaoshuai anchor, please rest assured, the old man has already mentioned this matter to Judge Cui, and the book of life and death is kept by the judge, and it should be allowed to check it." ”

A person's longevity determines how long he can live, and when he thinks of this, Li Yan's heartbeat involuntarily accelerates.

Although he knew that there was an underworld and would not completely disappear after death, Li Yan still maintained a sense of reverence for death.

In addition to keeping the book of life and death, the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Pen is also in the hands of Judge Cui, although his position is not as good as that of the Ten Palaces Yama, but the authority in his hands is not small at all.

Li Yan touched his chin, thinking about whether to give this judge a gift or something, not to mention bribery, the right is to make a friendship.

For the time being, he can't help too many people, and Ma Tao's direct descendants can't ignore it, so Li Yan found Ma Wenbiao, the current head of Majia Village, and asked him about the distribution of the Ma family.

Ma Wenbiao is nearly seventy years old, he is an authentic rural man, and he is also the only one among the older generation in the village who has a junior high school education.

Now it sounds like junior high school education is nine years of compulsory education, which is not unusual, but in their time, they were considered very literate after reading junior high school, so Ma Wenbiao's prestige in the village is beyond doubt.

"Chief Ma, I am a student of Funing University, I am more interested in the history and culture of our province, I heard that this area of Majia Village was very prosperous in the Qing Dynasty, so I came here to do a survey. ”

As he spoke, Li Yan handed his student ID card and campus card to Ma Wenbiao so as not to be mistaken for someone with ulterior motives.

After checking the student ID, it didn't look like a fake, Ma Wenbiao's vigilance gradually dissipated, and he said in a non-standard Mandarin: "You are right, in my grandfather's generation, Majia Village was very wealthy, and the timber produced was even transported to Nanyang for sale, but unfortunately there were several disasters later, and the village gradually declined." ”

Talking about the history of Majia Village, Ma Wenbiao sighed, the old man did not realize that some of those natural disasters were not accidental, but man-made.

Gradually, Li Yan led the topic to the history of humanities.

Speaking of this topic, Ma Wenbiao said more, and he was very proud to introduce several ancestors with great achievements to Li Yan, including Ma Tao, the county magistrate of Funing County.

During the reign of Ma Tao, Funing County was an important coastal county, with prosperous commerce and trade, and there were many records in the county annals.

According to the genealogy, Ma Tao had two sons, which is consistent with what Ma Tao said.

However, the second son died of illness before he got married, leaving no heirs, so only his eldest son remained.

In ancient times, it was common for a family to have four or five children, but in comparison, Ma Tao's branch was not prosperous, and many times he was only an only child.

Fortunately, this vein has not been broken and has been passed down to this day.

The old village chief knew the genealogy well, and said: "Ma Tao's ninth grandson is called Ma Chengyan, and there is a son under his knees, named Ma Wenyuan, I heard that there is also an eldest daughter, with her mother's surname Bai, it seems to be called Bai Suyun, and their family moved to the big city very early. ”

Generally speaking, women are not included in the family tree, so Ma Wenbiao only heard that Ma Chengyan has an eldest daughter, and the family tree is not recorded.

Li Yan was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, so he raised his voice and asked, "What did you say Ma Chengyan's daughter was called?!"

Ma Wenbiao didn't notice the surprise on Li Yan's face, tilted his head slightly and thought: "It seems to be called Bai Suyun, and I can't remember it clearly." ”

Unexpectedly, after going around in a big circle, it would be related to Bai Suyun, Li Yan said goodbye to the old village chief and made a phone call to the girl he once had a crush.

The ringtone rang for a long time before Bai Suyun answered the phone, and he could clearly hear a fierce quarrel over there, one of which seemed to be Chen Jian.

"Su Yun, is Chen Jian coming to collect debts from you again?" Li Yan hurriedly asked.

"I didn't ...... No, you heard it wrong. Bai Suyun's tone was very hurried, and he stumbled: "If there is nothing else, I will hang up first, the store is still very busy." ”

Without waiting for Li Yan to say the second sentence, she hung up the phone.

Li Yan is not a fool, and vaguely guessed that Bai Suyun didn't want to owe him too much, so he didn't want him to continue to meddle in the debt.

"What a stubborn girl......"

Muttering, Li Yan was worried that Bai Suyun would be forced to commit suicide again, so he hesitated for a little more than ten seconds and dialed again.

"Bai Suyun, didn't your concubine say that he would pay off his debts in three installments, after such a long time, it is impossible that he hasn't made any money at all, right?"

Standing at the door of Bai Suyun's house, Chen Jian said in a strange manner.

"Concubine?" Ma Chengyan's face changed suddenly, and he stared at Chen Jian and shouted, "What concubine, you explain it to me clearly!"

"Your daughter didn't tell you?" Chen Jian raised his one-sided eyebrows and sneered: "Last time I went to the clothing store to ask for money, a man repaid 50,000 yuan for your daughter, and said that the debt owed by your family would be repaid by him in three installments. ”

"Is what he said true?" Ma Chengyan looked at his daughter in disbelief.

"Dad, don't listen to his nonsense, that man is my junior high school classmate, he came to the store to buy clothes, and he happened to meet this guy to collect debts, and he couldn't help when he couldn't see it. Bai Suyun hurriedly explained.

Chen Jian snorted and smiled, and was about to say something, when Bai Suyun's mobile phone rang again.

Glancing at the caller reminder, Bai Suyun didn't know whether to answer Li Yan's call or not, and stood in place at a loss for a while.

She really doesn't want to owe too much favors, and is worried that she won't be able to finish it in the future, although the two have a classmate relationship, they don't know each other too well, and they are only slightly stronger than strangers.

"Su Yun, let's answer the phone first, maybe it's from the store. Ma Chengyan reminded.

Sighing silently in his heart, Bai Suyun finally chose to answer, it is better to owe Li Yan a favor than to be forced by Chen Jian step by step.

The phone finally got through, and Li Yan immediately asked, "Chen Jian is here to collect debts again, right?"

Hearing the voice on the mobile phone, Bai Suyun suddenly felt very aggrieved, held back her crying, bit her lip and responded: "He came to my door to make trouble, and said that if he didn't pay back the money, he would kick our family out." ”

Originally, Li Yan decided to help Bai Suyun, but now that he learned that she was Ma Tao's descendant, he should help this favor even more, and immediately said: "In this way, I will transfer 300,000 yuan to Chen Jian now, and you let him stop for a while, otherwise don't even think about getting the rest of the money!"

The last time I transferred money to Chen Jian, his account number was saved in his mobile phone, and after ending the call, Li Yan immediately called Chen Jian's account for 300,000 yuan.

Seeing the account information sent by the banking system, a full 300,000, Chen Jian couldn't help but show a surprised expression, and looked at Bai Suyun meaningfully: "You also said that it's not your concubine, ordinary classmates, can he help you out 300,000?" plus the 50,000 last time, he spent 350,000 on you!"

"Clean your mouth for me!" Bai Suyun raised his eyebrows and warned sharply: "Don't appear in front of me for the next month, otherwise you won't want the remaining 1.2 million dime!"

As soon as he got 300,000 yuan, Chen Jian's heart blossomed, and he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's the uncle who owes the money, as long as someone pays back the money, everything is easy to say." ”

Seeing his underwhelmed face, the more he looked at it, the more disgusting he became, Bai Suyun turned around angrily and took Ma Chengyan back home.

Entering the house, Ma Chengyan pulled Bai Suyun's arm, looked worried and said, "Suyun, you tell your father the truth, who is helping our family pay back?"

Although the family has reached the point of exhaustion, he still doesn't want his daughter to hook up with those rich people in order to pay off her debts.

expected his father to ask this, Bai Suyun had to patiently explain it to him again, but Ma Chengyan still looked skeptical.

It does sound unbelievable, but the junior high school classmates you haven't seen for many years can help you take millions of debts as soon as they meet, which is even more incredible than the novel.

"That Li Yan didn't ask too much of you, right?" Ma Chengyan asked, his heart still couldn't be completely put down.

This is also what Bai Suyun is worried about, shook his head and said: "Not for the time being, I don't think he should be the kind of person who wants to repay his kindness." ”

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ma Chengyan fell silent.

If I hadn't blindly trusted others, I wouldn't have failed in my investment and owed such a huge amount of foreign debt, so that my children would have suffered.

Thinking of his wife who died of illness, he felt even more guilty.

Before his wife died, she entrusted a pair of children to him, not only did she not get good care, but she ruined all the family business she had worked so hard to accumulate, causing her daughter to be unable to continue her studies and forced to go out to work to support the family.

After coming back to his senses, Ma Chengyan got up and looked at his daughter, and gently pressed his hands on her shoulders: "Su Yun, you will be twenty-four years old after the New Year, it's time to deal with the object, if that Li Yan is not bad, find a time to bring it back to your father." ”

Hearing this, Bai Suyun's face was flushed with shame, and he was almost red to the heel of his neck, and said coquettishly: "Dad, what are you talking about, my relationship with him is really simple, not as complicated as you think." ”

After living for nearly half a century and experiencing many setbacks in life, Ma Chengyan knows very well in his heart that there is no good thing in the world for no reason, and Li Yan is willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for his daughter, definitely not because of the relationship between junior high school classmates.

If a class of fifty or sixty people in junior high school was so generous to every classmate, wouldn't it cost tens of millions? Moreover, there were high school classmates and college classmates.

When the two were talking about Li Yan, the latter was crying in the live broadcast room: "Ma Tao Lao Tie, I have found your direct descendant, it is really fateful, it is actually my former classmate, who paid off more than 300,000 debts for her family, and now there are not a few copper plates left in my pocket, for the sake of Xiaoshuai being so powerful, my Yangshou must be found out as soon as possible." ”

Ma Tao, the county magistrate of Funing County: "Xiaoshuai anchor, the old man is about to talk to you about this, Judge Cui has already checked it on the population information system, but there is no record of your file!"

"Population information system?"

Li Yan's mouth opened in an instant, shouldn't it be to check the book of life and death, could it be that the role of the book of life and death has been replaced?

Soon Ma Tao explained that in order to keep pace with the times, the prefecture has recently introduced a human population management model to transfer everyone's information to the population information system, and the era of life and death books has passed.

"Why is there no file in that system, could it be that it was missed when entering?" Li Yan was confused.

"It shouldn't be possible to miss it, it's likely that your name was not in the book of life and death. ”

Li Yan was taken aback by Ma Tao's speculation, he actually became a black household, just like a person who did not have a household registration.

He suddenly thought of the Monkey King, the Monkey King, who jumped out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, and there was no record in the book of life and death, wouldn't it mean that he was the same as Sun Wukong, living with heaven and earth!

"I'll strangle it, labor and management are going to live forever!"

His eyes were as bright as a light bulb, and Li Yan thought so beautifully that he couldn't help laughing three times.

At this time, Hei Impermanence came out and said: "Xiaoshuai anchor, how can mortals and the great sage talk on the same day, the great sage is longevity and Tianqi, but if mortals have no record of yang longevity, there are two possibilities, either live forever or die suddenly." ”

His eyes swept over the screen, the smile on Li Yan's face froze instantly, and his eyelids jumped and asked, "Suddenly dead?"

"It's just that he died inexplicably. Hei Wuchang explained: "Because your yang longevity is uncertain, it can be a hundred years, or a year, or it is possible to live forever, but the probability is extremely low. ”

Li Yan understood the meaning of black impermanence, his lifespan is uncertain, he may live for a long time, or he may hang up in the next second!
