"Oh oh oh..." The rooster crowed, breaking the silence of the early morning and awakening the vitality.

Liu San was thinking about something in his heart, and he had already woken up from the first cockcrow. He put on his clothes, wiped his face indiscriminately, and hurried out of the house, and arrived at Zhang Cuier's house not long after. The courtyard, at a glance, saw three people sitting or standing in the courtyard, he pushed open the courtyard door with a smile on his face and greeted Li Yun.

"Young Master, this is Sister Cui'er's child? I don't think it's a ghost! Why do you just stay in Sister Cui'er's stomach and won't come out?" Liu San's eyes were sharp, and he saw lying in Li Yun's arms at a glance. The child who was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but leaned over and looked at it a little curiously, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, it looked like a red monkey, it was completely a normal born child, why was it rumored to be a ghost fetus?

Liu San is close, so he naturally knew that Zhang Cui'er was pregnant for one year and the baby was not born. Now seeing the child's appearance, he is a little disappointed. This child looks red and thin, and it is no better than those children who are pregnant in October. Get stronger.

"This child is not a ghost, so it is no different from ordinary people." Li Yun explained casually, this child is extremely well-behaved, he hugged him for half a night, and did not see him crying.It's just... If this trip returns to Beijing, he and the young monk will have to look at it, which will inevitably make him frown slightly.

After getting the answer, Liu San didn't bother, and turned to explore the house, but he was also concerned about the difference between men and women, and Liu Cui'er had just given birth, so naturally he hesitated to go in, he looked at Jing Yan who was like an old monk in meditation, Ning Zhen, who was dozing off on the stool and leaning against the wall, hesitated for a moment and asked Li Yun tentatively, "My lord, Sister Cui Er has just given birth, but I need to find a woman to take care of her."

"No, but there is something I need your help with?" Li Yun raised his head and glanced inside the room. The person was dead, the lights were off, and the future was gone, leaving only the funeral.

"What's the matter? Just tell me, my lord, I, Liu Sanding, will help you run smoothly." Liu San's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Li Yun as if he was looking at a gold ingot. He reached out and patted the straight Chest, with a swearing look on his face.

Li Yun looked at Liu San playfully, knowing what he wanted, but Li Yun's money is not so easy to deceive, "Yesterday, you only invited the stable woman, but you counted all the money I left behind." Take it away, I don’t know how to settle it?”

Hearing this, Liu San froze immediately. He only wanted to dig more money from Li Yun, but unexpectedly, under Li Yun's gaze, he subconsciously piled up a pile of money that was uglier than crying. The smile was waiting to be explained, but was interrupted by Li Yun's voice.

"I was five taels yesterday. You only found Mrs. Wen, and Zhang Cui'er died of postpartum hemorrhage and was not treated in time. From this point of view, you can only get two taels, and the remaining three taels..."

"What? Sister Cui'er is dead?" Liu San stopped Li Yun's words, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Li Yun's arm, but he ignored that Li Yun was holding the youngest son at this time, and he bumped into him without noticing for a while. As a baby, things happened so fast that Li Yun didn't have time to escape. The sleeping son was disturbed. Although he had closed his eyes, he burst into tears like 'Wow...Wow'.

Although Liu San withdrew his hands 'whoosh' when he saw this, his expression was unavoidable. He stepped back a little embarrassed, looked at Li Yun with a deep frown, and dared not speak again.

The youngest son cried too loudly, and Ning Zhen, who was already sleeping in a daze, jumped up instantly. After seeing the situation in the courtyard clearly, you fell back on the stool with a drowsy look on your face, and Zen sat aside. Jingyan opened his eyes and saw Li Yunlu's frown deeply furrowed outside. He immediately got up and walked in front of Li Yun.

Li Yun lost his burden, so he was happy, he shook his slightly sore arm casually, and then he wanted to continue talking to Liu San, but he was taken aback when he heard Jing Yan who had not gone far to comfort his youngest son, and hid The lips under the scarf raised slightly uncontrollably.

If it wasn't for him flipping through the Buddhist scriptures in Canaan, he wouldn't be able to hear what he was chanting to his youngest son. It's just that he read the Buddhist scriptures to a youngest son who was only a day old. It seems that only the dull monk Jingyan can do it. come out.

After being delayed by Jing Yan, when he came back to his senses again, he saw Liu San tiptoeing towards the gate of the courtyard.

"stop!"

Li Yun yelled softly, and Liu San's forward movement suddenly froze. How could he be willing to take out the silver that had already entered his pocket?He still expects to use this money to marry a beautiful wife?But after hearing Li Yun's yell, he didn't dare to go any further. He straightened up and retreated to Li Yun with a smile on his face. "Young master!"

"Does anyone in this village have a coffin? Do you know where Zhang Cui'er's husband's family is buried?"

"You are the right person to ask this question. Although I am not from Zhang's family, I have grown up here since I was a child. It is a trivial matter." Hearing Li Yun's question, Liu San breathed a sigh of relief. When the family goes home, not all the mats are wrapped up and the soil is laid down, even the rich family has a thin coffin. If a family can keep a coffin in its lifetime, it will be something worth showing off. As far as he knows However, there are two families in Zhangcun who have coffins, but...

"Young Master, as far as I know, the coffins in our village are bought at least one tael or seven silver coins. If you don't add more, I'm afraid they won't agree!"

Li Yun glanced at Liu San, took out another ingot of five taels of silver from his sleeve pocket, passed in front of Liu San, and then walked in front of Ning Zhen under his eager gaze, Li Yun looked at Ning Zhen. Zhen looked drowsy, stretched out his foot and kicked the stool leg, Ning Zhen jumped suddenly, and when he saw that it was Li Yun, he let out a long breath.

"Young master, is there something wrong?"

"Hand out."

Although Ning Zhen was puzzled, he still stretched out his hand in front of Li Yun.

Li Yun put the silver ingot in Ning Zhen's hand, and instead of looking at him, he looked at Liu San who stretched his neck and looked towards this side. Li Yun even turned slightly to let Liu San see clearly the silver ingot placed in Ning Zhen. The silver ingot in Zhen's hand.

"As long as you bring the coffin and call someone to deal with the matter behind Zhang Cuier, if you can handle this matter well, I don't need you to return yesterday's money, and the three taels of this ingot will be counted as the coffin and you." If there is any surplus in the money you hired, it belongs to you. Do you understand?"

"Then there are two more?" Li Yun had just finished speaking, and Liu San couldn't wait to ask his doubts.

However, this time, Li Yun just glanced at Liu San lightly, and said: "If the heart is not enough, the snake swallows the elephant, so as not to reap the consequences."

Liu San choked suddenly, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes, but was replaced by excitement in an instant, at least the money in his pocket was saved, and as long as he could save the money, the rest would not be his. Thinking of this, Liu San Three couldn't wait any longer.

"That son, I'm going now!"

Li Yun nodded to Liu San, and when he saw him out of the yard, he turned his attention to Ning Zhen: "I know that you Jiangning county magistrate will not covet the five taels of silver, and the remaining two taels will be handed over." From yesterday's Mrs. Wen, I have important matters with that little monk, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. It is better to leave the next matters to you, the parents, to handle, and we will bid farewell."

After Li Yun finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Jing Yan who was already outside the courtyard, but...how could Ning Zhen let Li Yun leave so easily?

He hurriedly walked up to Li Yun and blocked him: "What about the child? Are you going to take him away too?"

"That child's well-being is too great. I'm afraid ordinary people can't bear it, and his parents are both dead. Now this family village can't accommodate him. Do I want to put him here and let these ignorant villagers burn him to death? I don’t know if you, the county magistrate, will be as powerless as yesterday?” Li Yun didn’t care about his obstruction, but his words were merciless, and every word could be said to be cruel.

For a moment, Ning Zhen hesitated a little, but he always felt that Li Yun appeared here with a hidden head and showed his tail, and he was so eager to rescue Zhang Cuier, the picture was this child, and last night...

He saw with his own eyes that the child who was born without breathing came back to life in an instant after eating its blood. Such a strange thing made Ning Zhen even more determined not to let Li Yun go.

Faced with Ning Zhen's persistence, Li Yun was silent for a while, then unexpectedly pulled down the scarf that covered his mouth and nose, and for the first time showed his well-known face in front of Ning Zhen.

Ning Zhen originally wondered why Li Yun did such a futile effort, but when he saw his face, his face turned pale in shock, and he took two steps back almost reflexively, looking left and right for an instant, and when he checked that there was no one around, he shot him with a thunderbolt. Unable to cover his ears, he pulled up Li Yun's scarf.

"You, you, you are really so bold that you dare to appear here in a grand manner. Are you really not afraid of death?"

Seeing his appearance like this, Li Yun's eyes suddenly flashed with astonishment. He never expected his reaction to be like this. When he was in Kyoto, although he and Ning Zhen had an intersection, it was just a casual acquaintance. His move was also a temptation .But Ning Zhen's reaction made him feel warm in his heart.The nerves that had been tense all the time also relaxed a little.

"If I tell you that I'm from the capital, what do you think of Mr. Ning?"

"You, you... really think that I have lived too long! Now His Majesty hates your Li family to the bone, and you dare to go back to Beijing to provoke him. You are throwing yourself into a dead end." Ning Zhen really didn't like it. Fulfilling Li Yun's expectations, he rolled his eyes very directly at him, thinking that Li Yun had become a little smarter after all the setbacks and hardships, but he still looked like a nerd.

It feels like a long time ago to be so disgusted by others. Li Yun was a little absent-minded for a while, but when he glanced at the Jing Yan holding the child and chanting Buddhist scriptures not far away, Li Yun felt something in his heart. Bitterness welled up in my throat, "I really think I've lived too long. Regardless of this matter, I will leave the rest to you. That child is of great importance, and I must take it away. I hope you can accommodate me."

Ning Zhen stared fixedly at Li Yun, and suddenly said: "Where are you going, but is it safe?"

"Jianan Temple." Li Yun only said three words, but Ning Zhen already understood, and he silently moved out of the way.

"Please!"

Li Yun nodded towards him, and walked out without hesitation.

Ning Zhen stayed in the courtyard, watched the two people get farther and farther away, and whispered, blown away by the wind.

"This farewell, I'm afraid that things and people are wrong, and I hope each of you will cherish it."
