Luo Yin left the post station to place the tombstones for the three dead people of the Lin family, and when he arrived at the grave, he inserted the wooden tablet on the grave, found a big stone and smashed the wooden tablet into it heavily to prevent it from being blown down by the wind.

After doing all this, looking at the two new tombs under the candlelight, my heart suddenly felt a little chilly, I actually set up a grave here in the middle of the night, and I felt a little hairy in my heart when I thought about it.

But after thinking about it, the owner of this tomb has become a ghost, and he has been staying by his side all the time, and now he is afraid of something.

returned to the post station and informed Lin Su'er of the news that the tomb had been built. When she heard the news, she bowed to Luo Yin a little gloomily, and sincerely thanked her repeatedly.

"Thank you Gongzi for letting the three members of my Lin family be buried in the ground, so that we will not have nowhere to sleep after death. If there is an afterlife, I am only willing to be a cow and a horse, and make grass and rings to repay the great kindness. ”

"Don't be so gifted, Xiaosheng can't afford it, it's a convenient thing, and the girl doesn't need to be so mindful. Luo Yin hurriedly helped the female ghost up and said.

Luo Yin saw that it was already very late, he was tired and scared all day, and he only felt a wave of sleepiness, so he said to Lin Su'er: "Miss Su'er, it's getting late, Xiaosheng will rest first, and I have to get up early tomorrow to hurry." ”

Lin Su'er said: "Childe rest early, the little girl doesn't need to sleep, so she will keep vigil for Childe here." ”

Luo Yin didn't say much, so he pulled over a few stools in the lobby and made a simple bed. He said to Lin Xu'er, and he lay down and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, the sky was already bright, and the sun was shining through the open door, reflecting the lobby in a golden color.

Luo Yin looked around, only to see Lin Su'er sitting on a chair away from the sun, looking at herself without blinking. She found that Luo Yin woke up, and the two looked at each other, so she hurriedly lowered her head and looked away.

Luo Yin got up and warmed up the leftover white rice porridge from yesterday and ate breakfast to his heart's content. Then he said to the female ghost who was following him, "Miss Su'er, I'm leaving." The immortal asked me to walk to him by August of this year, and now that it was March, time was running out, and I had to hurry. ”

Lin Su'er had long known that he would have to leave sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, so she lowered her head and asked weakly, "Then when will you come back?"

Luo Yin looked at the delicate little female ghost in front of him, and thought of the situation where she was frightened by her tragic death yesterday, and suddenly felt funny.

"I promised you to come back and get you out of prison, and I won't break my promise. As long as I can walk to the place of the immortals alive and learn the immortal method, then when I succeed in cultivation, I will definitely come back here to save you. There are also those demons who have killed countless people, and I will kill them all to avenge your hatred. ”

Lin Xi'er looked at Luo Yin's resolute face, nodded and said, "I believe in you, I only hope that you can come back from cultivation as soon as possible." ”

Luo Yin returned to the backyard storehouse, and did his best to bring rice and pickled meat without affecting the journey. Because he did not know when this place of dead silence would end, he had to be prepared for everything, lest he starve to death on the way.

Bringing food, carrying a book basket and a bag, he walked to the gate of the post station and said to Lin Xu'er: "I'm leaving, I hope we can meet again soon." ”

Lin Xi'er suddenly asked, "I don't know the name of the son, I don't know if you can tell me?"

Luo Yin smiled: "Xiaosheng Luo Yin." See you again in the future. With that, he lifted his feet and walked out of this haunted post station, and once again embarked on the road of seeking immortals.

In the post station behind him, where the sun couldn't shine, a figure stood there in a daze, looking at the direction of Luo Yin's departure, watching him gradually disappear from view.

"Su'er wishes that the son will get what he wants and cultivate the immortal law. I just hope that when the time comes, you will not forget your promise......"

Leaving the haunted inn, Luo Yin continued eastward. He was frugal along the way, cooking only a small bowl of white rice porridge for each meal. Because he didn't know when he would be able to get out of this ghost realm where there was not a single living person.

After all, the food he was carrying was limited, and he had to be careful with his calculations, otherwise if he ran out of food before he even went out, he might starve to death on the road.

It took nearly half a month, and when he was about to run out of food, he saw a village and saw the smoke rising from the village.

Finally seeing the crowd, Luo Yin burst into tears. In the past nearly a month, he has not seen a single living person, only countless dry bones along the road. The only one I saw who could talk was a ghost.

Such a place, extremely depressing, makes his mood in tension and uneasiness every day.

Now, when he finally came out and saw the traces of life again, he found that it was such a happy thing to be able to see the existence of other people, and his nervous heart could finally be relieved.

He then quickened his pace into the village, where he found a family and bought something to eat to fill his stomach. After asking where he was now, he once again embarked on a journey to find immortals.

Time is gone, spring is gradually leaving, summer is coming again, and in the blink of an eye, time has come to the end of June.

In the past few months, he has traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, for fear of missing the agreed date. Along the way, I kept inquiring about the location of Lingshan County, and finally came to the boundary of Wuzhou, where Lingshan County is located.

Stepping into Wuzhou means that his journey is about to come to an end.

It was only a month ago that the silver taels he was carrying had been completely exhausted, and he had to start writing letters again to earn a little food and travel expenses.

On this day, he came to a village, intending to go in and do business. After entering, I found that almost every family in this village wore filial piety, and every household was crying.

He didn't know what had happened in the village, which had plunged the whole village into a state of mourning.

"Write couplets, write letters......," he shouted, soliciting business, hoping to earn a few pennies or a meal in the village.

After walking around the village, just as he was about to leave for the next place in disappointment, a voice stopped him, "Wait, the one who wrote the letter." ”

Hearing that business came to the door, Luo Yin hurriedly stopped and looked towards the place where the voice came from. I saw that a young woman who stopped him, wearing a filial piety dress and holding a big fat boy, was standing at the door with a white cloth and waving to him.

Luo Yin walked up to the woman, saluted and said, "This eldest sister, but you want to write a letter?"

The woman nodded and said, "I just want to ask my husband to help write a letter, which is inconvenient on the side of the road, and I also invite my husband to come to my house." ”

When she had entered the house, the woman spoke again, "Sir, please sit down for a moment, and I will go and invite my mother to come." As he spoke, he turned around and went into the back room, and after a while, while holding the child, he helped an old woman with gray hair and a white dress to come out.

She looked at Luo Yin and said to the old woman, "Mother, this is the gentleman who wrote the letter on his behalf." As he spoke, he helped the old woman to sit on the chair in front of Luo Yin.

The old woman's eyes widened, she looked at Luo Yin carefully, and said, "This gentleman looks very young, and he doesn't sound like a local with an accent, so he doesn't know where he came from and where he is going?"

Luo Yin saluted the old woman and said, "Xiaosheng is a person from the western part of Chu State, and he wants to go to Lingshan County to find relatives, but because he has exhausted his entanglement on the way, he has to do this metabolic letter work to earn some food and travel expenses. After that, he asked, "I wonder who the old man wants to write to?"

The old woman patted the woman standing beside her and said, "Write a letter to her husband." ”

Luo Yin took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the book basket, placed it neatly on the table, spent some time grinding the ink, picked up the pen and said to the old woman, "Old man, please speak." ”

"My sons and grandchildren are in, and I am well when I see Xin'an. The day before yesterday, someone from the village said that a fellow villager had brought a message to inform him that your father was gone, and that he had died in the battle with the rebels not long ago. My son must be very careful on the front line, and remember to save his life. Your daughter-in-law Xiulian and her children are all well at home, and I hope you will return soon. The old woman thought for a moment, and then spoke.

Luo Yin's pen was fast, the old woman had already written the letter as soon as she finished speaking, and then read the letter to them, and only after they confirmed that it was correct did she put the letter paper into the envelope and seal it, and then write the name of the recipient on the envelope.

After everything was done, Luo Yin handed the letter to the young woman in filial piety, and then asked, "There are relatives in your mansion, please mourn." Xiao Sheng saw that almost every house in the village had white silk, I don't know why, but what happened in the village?"

The young woman called Xiulian coaxed the child in her arms, and then explained: "Sir is a foreigner, I don't know, this king of the East China Sea in the east rebelled more than 20 years ago and attacked the city everywhere. The imperial court mobilized a large army to attack, but unfortunately it has been losing troops for more than 20 years. ”

"I finally stopped for a few years a while ago, and I thought I would never fight again. However, last year, the imperial court came to recruit soldiers again, and all the men in our village, as old as 60 and 14 years old, were taken away and sent to the battlefield, leaving only us, the old and weak women and children, waiting at home. ”

The old woman listened to her daughter-in-law's story, thought of the sad thing, tears fell in her eyes, and she said: "Last month, there was news that the imperial army had lost another battle, and tens of thousands of people were slaughtered by the rebels, and the old husband's husband also died at the hands of the rebels. After this battle, almost every household in the village was killed, so the gentleman saw this scene in the village. ”

The woman named Xiulian listened to what her mother-in-law said, and sobbed in a low voice, and tears welled up in her eyes and slid down her face.

"The little woman's husband married me only the year before last, and it didn't take long for the little girl to get pregnant, and he was still happily waiting for the child to be born. But who would have thought that before the child was born, he was captured and sent to the battlefield. Now we are the only orphans and widows left in the family who are struggling to survive, so we hope that he will return as soon as possible. ”

Luo Yin listened to their stories, felt sympathy in his heart, and comforted: "Zunfuji people have their own natural appearance, and they will be able to go home safely." ”

The old woman sighed, cried softly, and said, "A few years ago, the eldest son and the second son who were old disappeared on the battlefield, and there was no one alive or dead. Now that even my wife is gone, if the youngest son has something long, how can we orphans and widows live. When will God give us a way to live!"

Luo Yin sighed in his heart, not knowing how to persuade him. Mortal life is so fragile, diseases, accidents, plagues, wars, can instantly shatter a happy family and destroy people.

Along the way, he has seen too many joys and sorrows, life and death, which not only did not scare his determination to ask for immortals, but made him more eager to become immortals and achieve immortality, so as to completely get rid of the shackles of birth, old age, sickness and death.

He then asked, "I wonder how you plan to deliver this letter?"

Na Xiulian stopped crying, wiped her tears and said, "There are villagers in the village who often go to the place where my husband is a soldier to do business, and when the time comes, please ask him to send the letter a little. By the way, I wonder how much money it costs to write this letter?"

Luo Yin looked at the orphans and widows, and couldn't bear to accept their money anymore, so he said: "It's not easy in your family, you don't need to give this money, if you can entertain me with a meal, it will be enough." ”

The old woman and the woman glanced at each other, and both knew in their hearts that the family really couldn't come up with any money, and then said, "Thank you so much, sir, please sir." ”

The two of them entered the kitchen, looked at the clean rice jar and were worried, and the woman named Xiulian said: "Mother, the rice noodles at home have already been paid to the landlord and the landlord, and there are only some hungry grains left, how can this be used to entertain guests, and the gentleman still doesn't accept us for writing letters." ”

The old woman looked at the rest of the food, and had to say: "Take out some brown rice left for the child, and cook a meal for this gentleman, so as not to let the gentleman think that we don't understand etiquette." ”

The woman hesitated and said, "This brown rice is reserved for the child to eat, this ...... Okay, I'll go get it. ”

Luo Yin, who was in the outhouse, had already heard the conversation between the two in the kitchen. I understand that the orphan and widow's house is now almost out of the pot, and the only little brown rice left is still food for the young son of the family.

In order to thank them for writing a letter to their families, they actually took out the food left for the child to entertain themselves, how did he make it easier?

He suddenly felt that he really shouldn't have mentioned the matter of eating just now, and he regretted it for a while. After thinking about it, he took out the only remaining twenty copper coins from his arms, put them all on the table, and then quietly left here with a book basket and a bag.

When the woman returned to the outhouse with the bowl, she saw that it was empty, only the twenty copper coins on the table......
