Chapter 240: Two hundred and twenty thousand
When I woke up, the window was already bright, the light was through the curtains, and it was even a little dazzling, and there was no need to think about it, it was another sunny day.
As soon as I stretched my waist and turned over, ready to lie for a while, my mother happened to push open the door of the room and walked in, seeing that I had woken up but couldn't afford it, she smiled lightly, and said that after sleeping for so long, are you hungry? Let's get up.
"I'm hungry, but I still want to sleep for a while, Mom, can you let me sleep for a while?" Muttering a slurred word, I was ready to get back into the bed.
"Niannian, Mom knows that you have been tired these days, and you have been turning day and night upside down, so you haven't slept well, but on the Pan family's side, Pan Sanye and they are still waiting for you to go over to eat, and the Liao family will leave after eating, if you don't go over, someone should come over to invite, and it is always bad for the younger generation to come and invite someone." Seeing that I still wouldn't get up, my mother laughed again.
If you want to say that this person, the most disliked thing is that he hasn't slept enough, and someone has been talking by the bedside, and I am no exception, but now it's my mother who is talking, so there is nothing I can do, so I have to say in a daze, what is there to wait for dinner, what time is it now?
"It's almost twelve o'clock." My mom replied with a smile.
"It's almost twelve?" I quickly opened my eyes and instantly sobered up a lot.
I didn't expect to sleep directly until noon, my mother was right, I was still a junior anyway, and it was really rude for people to wait until this time. Breakfast in the countryside is usually at eight or nine o'clock, and most of the time when the big pot of rice is eaten for red and white ceremonies, and today Liao Shangzhou's family will leave.
Seeing that I finally came to my senses, my mother immediately stopped saying anything and smiled and helped me find clothes in the closet.
Although the matter of Pan Guanghai and his wife is a complete tragedy from beginning to end, but now the dust has finally settled, for more than a month, the people who have been deeply frightened in their hometown for more than a month have regretted at the same time, it is also difficult not to feel relaxed, after all, for everyone, everything about Pan Guanghai and his wife has passed since today, and several villages have returned to the tranquility of the past.
And my mother seems to be in a good mood, except for the end of Pan Guanghai's matter, the bigger reason is that through this incident, she is no longer ignorant of my life in the provincial capital, and knows that her son has learned real skills from the old man Wang Zhenyue over the years, and has the ability to deal with all kinds of strange things, so she doesn't have to worry about me all the time like before.
Of course, the most important thing is that she thinks her son is very good for her.
There is no mother who doesn't like to see her son recognized by everyone, so she is happy.
After laughing, getting dressed, and washing, I packed the strange bottle I found in Pan Guanghai's pigsty in a bag, and then closed the door with my mother and walked to the bottom of Pan's house.
When I came to Pan Guanghai's house, sure enough, the meal had already passed, and most of the people who helped had already eaten and were doing their own things, only the old village chief Liao Shangzhou and them had been waiting for me to come over, and Master Wu, who had also been here for several days.
After eating and talking again, Liao Shangzhou's family prepared to leave.
On the same day, Liao Yuting's coffin was carried back to the yard and put away, the burial date was determined, and the relationship between the two families had eased down, and there would be no more major contradictions.
Although it is a mourning that makes people feel heavy, when the foreign guests leave, the etiquette that the main family should have is not less at all, and it is much more elaborate than the Han people, not to mention that when they went out, Liao Shangzhou and his wife also officially said goodbye to Pan Guanghai's mother with the title of their in-laws, so they were originally a few minutes away, and they were stunned to send each other off for almost an hour before they came to the road.
"Little brother, thanks to your help, my family's Yuting matter can have such a result, so thank you very much." After coming to the side of the road and finding space to speak, Liao Shangzhou grabbed my hand and said with a serious expression.
"Uncle Liao, there's no need to be so polite, in fact, I didn't help much, I just did something that should have been done, but in the past few days, I have said a lot of things that make you embarrassed, I hope you don't take it to heart."
"No, little brother, no matter what you say, I still have to thank you, because you have really helped my family a lot, far more than you think. As for what you said to make me embarrassed, I can fully understand it, not only will I not take it to heart at all, but I want to thank you, after all, you are also here to help, for the sake of the overall situation. Holding my hand and shaking it violently, Liao Shangzhou's expression was indescribably serious, and he repeated again: "So you really helped me a lot, far more than you think." ”
This meticulous posture made me a little confused, so I had to keep saying kind words.
"Anyway, thank you very much, if you have the opportunity, you must come to our side to have fun, so that I have the opportunity to do my best to be a landlord and thank you for your kindness." After thanking him for a while, Liao Shangzhou smiled.
After I smiled and nodded in agreement, saying that if I had a chance in the future, I would definitely go to trouble, and waved goodbye to the Pan family who came to the road, the Liao family got into the car, and then Liao Shangzhou lowered the window and nodded and smiled at me, and started the car to leave.
"Brother Li Nian, since everyone has left, then I am also ready to leave, and he will meet again in another place one day." At this time, Master Wu, who had been waiting next to him, also smiled and spoke.
"Uncle Wu, do you want to stay and play for two more days?" I asked with a smile.
In fact, since he was optimistic about the new cemetery, he couldn't see the root cause of the problem in the original cemetery, and after he was sure that he couldn't solve it, Master Wu's task had been completed, after all, he agreed to come over to help take a look at it for the sake of an official in the Pan family, and it didn't include the burial.
The reason why he stayed until today, even if he didn't say it, I actually knew it, largely because of me.
To put it bluntly, he just wants to make me a friend.
Since they are friends, they can't help but keep them.
"If you stay, you won't stay, it's not like to leave again, this opportunity is not right, after all, someone else invited me over, it is enough to meet a strange person like you, little brother, next time you have a chance, it's not too late to go to your house again." Master Wu smiled and shook his head gently.
Knowing that once he opened his mouth, he would not stay any longer, so I was just polite, so after laughing and saying a few words, I left each other's phone numbers, and said that when I went to the county seat that day, I would go to his place and sit again.
Then he got into the car of the man who was an official of the Pan family and left.
Re-entered the village of Pan's courtyard, and did not go directly to Pan Guanghai's house, but went to the old wizard's house first. I promised the old wizard that when the matter was over, I would send the strange bottle I found at that time to his house, and ask him to help me analyze what was inside, although his attitude towards me became more and more cold, but I could not stop talking because of this.
Anyway, the old man in the provincial capital, Yuan Jinzhu, and Luo Wenxin don't know when they will be able to get in touch, and I can't figure it out when they are holding it in their hands.
When I came to the old wizard's house, it was not surprising that, as I had done last time, I had not been able to see the old wizard, and his eldest son had received me very kindly, but had no intention of leading me to his father.
"Xiao Nian, your eldest duke is not in good health, let him rest well, don't bother him too much for the time being, when his old man's health is better, it's not too late to visit him again." When I finally couldn't help it, when I asked about the old wizard's physical condition, this man named Pan Changhong, with a gentle temperament, who didn't look like a peasant at all, said softly, and there seemed to be something on his mind between his eyebrows.
Since he went to the mountains to toss that trip and was carried back by his eldest son, the old wizard has not shown up again, and Pan Guanghai's funeral was also presided over by Pan Changhong, so I know that the old wizard's poor health is a fact, not a reason not to see me, so I asked a few more questions.
"Thank you for your concern, it's not a big problem, it's just that when your health is not good, you have gone up the mountain again, and you are tired, just recuperate for a while." Although the answer was quite careful, I could feel that Pan Changhong obviously did not want to talk more about his father's physical problems.
"Also, your Grand Duke has already explained to me that if you send the bottle you found at Gwanghae's house, I will transfer it to him for you."
Since I didn't want to say more, I naturally didn't want to ask too much, so I left the strange bottle, sat down for a while, and then left.
When they came to Pan Guanghai's house, the old village chief and others were discussing the demolition of Pan Guanghai's house and the rebuilding of two rooms. After listening for a while, I figured out that before I came over, Liao Shangzhou left 100,000 yuan for Pan Guanghai's mother without refusal, and she always refused to go to Pan Guangwu's house to live and insisted on living alone, so the old village chief took the lead in discussing and simply bulldozed the crumbling hall and built two new rooms for her to live in.
After agreeing to the joint burial of Pan Guanghai and Liao Yuting, Liao Shangzhou had already taken out 60,000 first, plus the current 100,000, which is a full 160,000. I don't know what it was that made Liao Shangzhou willing to break this wealth, but if I think about it carefully, it should be that with the death of Pan Guanghai, let go of hatred, and truly identify with the identity of his in-laws, he thought that this family was made by him, and he couldn't go away, so he made compensation.
Liao Shangzhou took out the first money, 40,000 yuan was left to Pan Guanghai's mother, and the remaining 20,000 yuan was used to take care of the funeral, the Pan family knew this situation, and could leave one more point for his mother, so they didn't move much, only symbolically spent more than 3,000, plus Pan Guanghai himself left 60,000 yuan, as well as the gifts of relatives and friends, the Pan family also left all the money to his mother, so up to now, the total money adds up, just 236,000 yuan.
The village chief's plan is to use the 36,000 to build a house, if it is not enough, he will fill it in by himself, and the remaining 200,000 yuan will be opened for Pan Guanghai's mother to open another account to save for medicine and living expenses.
According to everyone's intentions, it will be much more convenient to live with Pan Guangwu's family, and the former family has repeatedly promised that they will take care of it attentively, and there will be no separation at all, but they are really persuaded not to move, so it has to be so.
According to Pan Guanghai's mother's own ideas, there is no need to build a house, and she won't live for a few years anyway, so she will live in a shed.
In any case, after suffering such a big blow, being willing to live peacefully is already something that everyone is willing to see, so after agreeing, everyone did not delay at all, and immediately packed up Pan Guanghai's mother's things and sent them to Pan Guangwu's house to vacate the place, and tomorrow they will bring in the building materials and build the house, and they will live in Pan Guangwu's house temporarily.
My family also helped for a long time, cleaned up the debris and broken tiles for half a day, and only returned home together after dark and had dinner at Pan's house.
After washing my face and changing my clothes, and talking to my parents, grandfather, and them, I went out of the house again, because on the way back, Xiao Qinghe was already smiling and waiting under the big locust tree at the intersection below, just seeing that I was with my family, he signaled that I didn't need to say hello.
"They...... How's it going? "When I came to the big locust tree, after saying hello, I asked Xiao Qinghe.
"It's okay, it's not that good, but it's not that bad, there's hope anyway." Xiao Qinghe replied with a smile.
What I asked, naturally, was Pan Guanghai Liao Yuting who went to the underworld with Xiao Qinghe, the latter is okay, after all, he is a good and innocent person, and he has not committed any major mistakes in his life, even if he is not awake and has been killed, with Xiao Qinghe's degree, it is not difficult to cultivate an afterlife, but the former is different, not only has he committed the mistake of harming others, but he is more or less disloyal and unfilial, and he is still a person who commits suicide, I am really a little worried, when he "passes through the hall" in the underworld, he will fall directly into the infernal hell and suffer from endless reincarnation.
With Xiao Qinghe's answer, I was immediately relieved, as long as there is hope, it is already very good.
Naturally, I can't know too much about the affairs of the underworld, so I didn't ask too much, and after knowing the general situation of Pan Guanghai and Liao Yuting, I gradually changed the topic.
"Now that the matter is preliminarily over, have you thought about that matter?" Before he could say a few words, Xiao Qinghe changed his words and asked with a smile.
I was stunned for a moment, and it quickly occurred to me what she was talking about by "that thing".
Liao Shangzhou's family, the night when they first went to the cemetery to see Liao Yuting, inquired about the advantages and disadvantages of the painting spirit school, and after learning about my situation, Xiao Qinghe asked to form a contractual relationship with me, and changed the Yin Harvest diagram to a diagram that she could sense the summoning whenever she could, and only she could sense the diagram, so that when I needed help, I could come in the shortest possible time.
