Old Man Park was buried.
The spot chosen by Grandmaster wasn't particularly auspicious, but it wasn't too bad either.
However, as soon as the burial began, black water started to seep up from below.
Fortunately, Pu Xingsheng and his family, though in mourning attire, weren't too emotionally connected to their father and knelt at a distance.
Li Sanjiang quickly instructed Run Sheng and Xiong Shan to fill in the soil, muttering to himself: Damn, how many sins did he commit in life? Now it falls on the descendants.
The funeral band's work was finished first, but because Li Sanjiang settled their fees quickly, as an interdiary, they weren't in a hurry to leave. After packing up, they helped dismantle the tents and carry away things.
Soon, everyone had packed up, and they all left the site together.
Except for that one ti he burned cigarette ends, Li Zhiyuan always had soone by his side. Pu Xingsheng glared hatefully several tis, but didn't dare to confront them directly, since this side was stronger and more intimidating—he was intimidated.
On the way back, Li Sanjiang once again let Little Yuanhou sit at the front of the vehicle.
Grandmaster was in a good mood and straightforwardly paid everyone's wages for the month in advance.
The wages weren't much because when they applied for the job, each asked for a lower price than the last, happy simply to be fed.
However, Li Sanjiang would balance the market wage by giving them red packets during festivals.
After receiving the money, Xiong Shan and Lihua spat on their fingers and counted earnestly.
This money was, naturally, beneath them, but seeing Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu always counting carefully when they received their wages, they followed suit.
Initially, it was purely to seek fortune for their son's future by joining the Dragon King's Court.
But the longer they worked, the more they noticed sothing unusual. Xiong Shan's corpse poison was becoming milder and calr, and it never flared up again.
Lihua, who had developed a hidden illness when she had a child during her ti with Zou Jiang, was supposedly afflicted for life with no cure, was now miraculously in recovery.
It was only then that they began to understand why the prestigious Dragon King family would stay here, with one person cooking and another farming.
Damn, this is practically a fountain of fortune!
By the ti they returned ho, it was already dusk. Aunt Liu had prepared the al in advance, and everyone ate together.
After dinner, Li Sanjiang habitually went for a walk, and Li Zhiyuan wanted to follow but was refused.
However, after Grandmaster left, Cui Cui ca over with her howork, saying Mr. Li had gone to her house to talk to her grandma about dreams.
Despite having "talented individuals" at ho, Grandmaster went out to seek external help.
Li Zhiyuan asked Alii to accompany Cui Cui with her howork while he returned to his room and opened the wordless book to use today's deduction quota.
The picture inside the wordless book showed the "evil book" already turned into a set of dry bones, sitting there motionless.
It looked like it was dying, yet it could never truly die.
As he walked out of the room, he coincidentally saw Alii writing down answers to Cui Cui's problems, then setting down the pen.
Cui Cui stared at the answers for a while, then smiled and said, "Ah, so that's how it is."
Li Zhiyuan noticed that Cui Cui's howork was mathematics olympiad questions, quite challenging and likely for an upcoming competition.
With the howork done, it was getting late, and Cui Cui prepared to go ho.
Li Zhiyuan held Alii's hand and accompanied Cui Cui ho.
Cui Cui always enjoyed walking on the country paths with friends, twirling happily like a butterfly, saying she would study hard like Brother Yuanhou, join competitions, skip grades, and aim for a good university.
Upon escorting her to the yard of her ho, Li Zhiyuan's ear twitched as he heard Liu Jinxia and Grandmaster's voices from inside the house.
Their conversation seed to be concluding as both were quite emotional.
Liu Jinxia: "I told you, I don't understand the strange transformation array you set up, but I think to solve this, just redraw it in reverse, and it should work."
Marquis Sanjiang, you're too old for this kind of struggle, besides, the child is still young, it's fine.
Li Sanjiang: "I said it won't work, the child is in university now and interning, doing so well, how can I ss with those things again."
Liu Jinxia: "What you tinkering could be useless fluff."
Li Sanjiang: "But what if it has a bit of use? For the sake of the child's matters, I wouldn't dare take risks. I'm already a person who could lay in a coffin ready to go anyti, an old life has no worth, but it shouldn't affect the child."
It's clear that Grandmaster knew the dream he had was related to the transformation ritual he set up before.
Because it was after he arranged this array that the dreaming started.
And the original purpose of setting up this array was that Li Sanjiang and Liu Jinxia sensed that Little Yuanhou, after the incident with Little Huang Ying, beca prone to seeing and attracting dirty things. Li Sanjiang wanted to transfer these misfortunes onto himself, so his great-grandson could return to a normal life.
"Then there's nothing I can do, all the thods I suggested before have been tried, but none worked."
"Then forget it, you've worked hard."
Li Sanjiang sighed, stood up to leave, and when he reached the yard and saw Li Zhiyuan, he smiled and said:
"Liu Xiazi, I'm leaving first, my Little Yuanhou is here to pick up and take ho!"
Back ho, Li Sanjiang first took a bath, tired from a long day, he went to bed early.
