"100."

The passage of time is just a blink of an eye. After the time is selected, Ji Mo just blinks, and he goes directly to the time node a hundred years later, and sees a courtyard that seems similar to before, but somewhat different.

The yard hasn't changed much, except that there are traces of repairs in many places, some places have changed some more vicissitudes of color, and there are a few more small yards around.

"Why are there so many people living here?"

Ji Mo was a little surprised, there would always be people who would dislike the proximity of the grave and would not live here, even though it was not far from the village.

On a good day, he doesn't have to venture into other yards to check, he can see the people going in and out of those yards, and then hear about each other.

Amidst the address of "Second Uncle", "Third Uncle" and "His Uncle", it is obvious that they are a family, at least one common ancestor.

Ji Mo didn't see anything special about the appearance of these people, and even the grandfather with the highest seniority didn't find any traces of his old friends.

Also, another 100 years, where are there still old friends?

After getting rid of this level of "looking for similarities", Ji Mo will be able to treat these people as ordinary people again, but it is inevitable that occasionally when he sees the "occupied" yard, he will feel a little awkward, not because he is greedy What real estate, I just feel a little awkward.

In the early years, I am afraid that even Ge Shan never thought that this yard is so lively, just looking at the clothes that are waving like banners on the clothesline in the yard makes people feel a bit have no choice.

"Grandpa is going to tell me, who should this person belong to!"

In the largest courtyard, there is a meeting during the daytime. After the meal, I pick my teeth and talk. The "seat" for the discussion is still incomprehensible for a while. Is it an important position?

Ji Mo listened for a while, oh, so this person is the grave keeper!

"Don't think about it, you're lazy, if you get this seat again, I'm afraid you won't make a move in the future, if something happens, I'm afraid this seat won't be our turn."

"Don't blame me, think I don't know, if a few years ago, it was a good seat if you saw whether you were fighting for this seat or not because there were capable people in it!"

"Aren't you for this!"

"I have taken a fancy to it a long time ago. Why is it for this? Even if I don't have the monthly money, I will do it..."

Five young people were blasphemy, arguing in front of the old man, Ji Mo was confused at first, when is tomb guard a good job, so sought after?

This is not a civil servant, although it is considered a stable iron job, but...

Listening, I just realized that in the past hundred years, the Ge family has produced a capable person, who became an official. People, the genealogy has been revised, not to mention the repair of the grave.

That capable person can also be a human being, not only adding clan land to the clan, but also creating a special clan school to make the clan members become the family of farming and studying aristocratic families from now on, and even increasing the tomb guards who were originally guarding the tombs of the clan. In addition to the salary, in addition to the rice, food, clothing and food given by the clan, there is also a monthly payment of silver, which may be compared with that given by the servants of the family. It is considered a hard fee, not a lot.

But in this small mountain village, it is really an eye-opener. It is still a very good position. You don't have to be inferior to others, you don't sell your body, and you can get money on a monthly basis. It is very stable. In theory, you are still a father. It is a good job to pass on to your sons and grandchildren, which cannot be tolerated without contention.

That is to say, the profession of cemetery guards is inherently monopolistic, and outsiders don't know the rules inside, and those who know are passed down by themselves. Therefore, the competition for this position is only within this family, and it cannot let people Outsiders are free to intervene.

However, there is only one share of this month's money, and it is still necessary to discuss whether to give it to someone or not.

Never expected that there would be this one.

Ji Mo didn't even know whether it was luck or misfortune that the job of grave guard was so popular.

"What are you arguing about? I'm not dead yet. I'm the one who decides. If any of you have learned it, whoever can get the money. If you want to get the money mixed, it's impossible!"

The old man was very successful, he slapped the table, and the matter was settled.

Ji Mo smiled, okay, it's not bad to compete for a job, it's quite benign.

[Please select the time, 200 years, 500 years, 1000 years, 2000 years...]

"200."

When I opened my eyes again, it was already 200 years later, and the stone tablet has not changed much. The words on it were carved by Ji Mo himself, and they were specially carved so deep that it is guaranteed that even if you cut off two or three layers flat, the writing will not be smoothed out.

The three solitary tombs are connected, and there are no new ones on the left and right. It’s not that there are no new gravekeepers who died, but that since the generation of Ji Mo’s young disciple, there are wives and children, families and businesses, and a family. Instead of accompanying bachelors like them, they found another place to be buried.

It's also a good location, but it's not a good location in the center, but a more spacious corner.

Now--

"Mom, I'll go to the mountain to have a look, don't be in a hurry to light the fire, wait until I come back to do it."

The young man spoke loudly, and brought his crutches into the mountain. On the one hand, the crutches are used as trekking sticks, and in some places, they can also be used to detect the truth. On the other hand, they are used as weapons for self-defense. Pulled away with crutches, if a big guy suddenly appeared, at any rate, he was not helpless to fight back.

There are no protruding muscles under his cloth clothes, but judging by his physique, he is definitely not the weak and weak young boy.

Is this the gravekeeper of this generation?

Ji Mo looked at it, and this idea came to his mind, and then he looked at the layout of the surrounding courtyards, as if it was the same as last time, after all, it was a little different, and some courtyard doors were locked, and the locks were rusted, and I don’t know how long it has been. people live.

What happened to the big family last time, they went their separate ways?

In fact, the people of the ancient tribes lived quite stably. Except for those who were particularly good, they went out to study and become officials, and some merchants would go outside. It is not impossible to move out, just treat this place as an old house.

Then there are those who have left their hometowns, but they can't live here at all. Any escape from natural disasters can be regarded as this kind.

Looking at the surrounding scene, the smoke from the cooking houses in the village not far away should not look like a natural disaster. So, someone left their hometown with wealth?

It's also a good thing.

Ji Mo originally wanted to follow the footsteps of the young man up the mountain to see how many more tombs were added, but unfortunately he could not travel far, only within the maximum range he could travel, and saw that the forest in the mountain was bare from a distance Well, there are more tombstones scattered here and there, and it's impossible to see how many more there are.

I don’t know if the senior official I heard about last time was buried here in the end, and what kind of tomb it was, but what kind of tomb was it arranged by the cemetery of that generation?

Speaking of this, it is a pity that Ge Shan has never had the turn to preside over any large tomb. The knowledge in this area is wasted in vain. Even Ji Mo himself is the same. One hundred points in that professional knowledge point has never been obtained from only one direction, which makes people have the opportunity to take the exam with incomplete but full marks.

Otherwise, it would be really...

Hey, wait, is his lifespan really only a hundred years?

Ji Mo didn't know what to say, he just thought of it suddenly, as if he died after the exam every time, although many times it seemed that he should die at this time, but if he didn't take the exam, he still insisted on procrastinating, and How long can it be delayed?

Every time, he seems to have a reason to die, such as being old or sick, but will that old age and that disease really lead to his death?

He just didn't dare to gamble, so he rushed to finish the exam every time before he died of natural causes.

But, if he won't die if he doesn't take the exam, will he really be able to survive?How long can it last?

"If there are [-] years, if you have to take another exam—"

Impossible, in that case, I am afraid that I will become an old monster. After all, old people will still grow old, just like sickness will still be sick.

Thoughts went astray for a while, Ji Mo already thought of how to pretend to be a god in front of the emperor when he lived for hundreds of years, and he trembled when he thought that he could not provide the longevity method and was chopped up and eaten by the emperor. Don't be so "outstanding".

When he came back to his senses, he saw that the young man had come back from the mountain and entered the yard, talking to his mother, talking a lot while working, and occasionally heard a thin female voice, a timid and gentle voice, echoing it , did not let his voice stand alone.

A very warm mother and son family.

I don't know if the young man's father and grandparents are one of those people he saw last time, if so, it can be regarded as an orderly inheritance.

[Please select the time, 500 years, 1000 years, 2000 years, 3000 years...]

"500."

In the blink of an eye, a large time span passed, and the scene in front of Ji Mo had undergone a major change, and this change was most obvious on the tombstones.

There are more fallen tombstones, and it seems that no one has taken care of them for a long time. Together with the weeds in the cemetery... the trees are getting less and less, and even the weeds seem to have lost much vitality, and they look very listless.

There are fewer courtyards, some are completely empty, and the ones that are collapsed are uninhabitable. The remaining ones seem to have become the same as before. It is still the courtyard that guards the path, with the three solitary graves behind it, as if it has received some kind of blessing. , I have never seen any major damage to this yard.

Perhaps this is also because the owner of the yard has been meticulous, repairing it every year, and living there all the time, never losing popularity, which is why he has been able to persist until now.
