Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 30 Girl, you are extremely beautiful
The water around the road has increased, the streets are more crowded, and the boats on the water have become more numerous.

Lin Jiang drove his carriage along, passing caravans, traveling merchants, and vendors who simply set up stalls by the roadside to sell fruit.

Occasionally, some girls would mingle in the larger caravans. Some of them dressed as female warriors, while others would sit in the carriages and adorn themselves with Rosé.

Most of the girls would turn their heads to look at Lin Jiang, who was driving outside.

After noticing Lin Jiang making eye contact with them, they would immediately turn their heads away shyly, covering their faces with their hands, as if embarrassed.

Little Ginseng peeked out from Linjiang's sleeve; she had also noticed the situation and was very puzzled.

"Then why do they turn their heads away when they see you? Is it because they did something bad? I read in a comic book that people who do bad things are always feeling guilty."

"They're not feeling guilty, they're just shy."

What is shyness?

Lin Jiang didn't know how to explain it to Xiao Shanshen, so he simply focused on driving.

Yuxiang is a big place. Just like Tiger said a couple of days ago, Han Baicheng is from Yuxiang.

But Lin Jiang didn't go to Hanbai; he went to Cangsong Town, which was nearby.

His grandmother lives in the town.

Han Baicheng and Cangsong Town are not actually too far apart. A carriage can reach them in just one day. There are many wheat fields and towns near the town in between, which provide food for the surrounding area and a place for travelers to rest.

There would naturally be no bandits in this place; if there were, it would be a slap in the face to the local officials.

Therefore, there are no bandits here, only yamen runners.

When Lin Jiang turned the carriage towards Cangsong, the traffic flow hadn't actually decreased much. Cangsong was next to a large lake, and the lake had a wide river. The waterway to Haicheng was very important, so naturally, there were many people.

His grandmother was the wealthiest person in the area by the lake.

He commands several large ships.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the edge of the town. Although it was just a town, it already had high walls and guards checking people at the gate. Its prosperity was no less than that of Han Bai.

To enter, you need to show your credentials. Merchants have their own credentials, bodyguards have theirs, and if it's just a traveling merchant on the street, you'll need to be checked a little. As long as you don't have anything obviously illegal on you, you can go in.

Lin Jiang's carriage was quite conspicuous. When the guards wanted to enter the carriage to check, Lin Jiang lifted a small corner for them, and after seeing the old man who was still fast asleep, the guards let him pass.

If you don't have any evil weapons, why stop them?

Following the direction of memory, I walked towards the river. After entering the pine forest, there were even more girls on the street, some older but still charming, and others young, energetic, and quirky.

Most of the girls would cast curious glances at the handsome young man in the carriage, and some of the more enthusiastic ones would even wave their handkerchiefs at him.

Lin Jiang responded with a smile.

Chongqing is indeed known for its many beautiful women.

With a few steps, Lin Jiang finally arrived at the riverbank, where his grandmother's house was located.

I remember when I was a child, my favorite room was by the lake. Every morning, I could see fishing boats sailing on the lake as soon as I opened the window.

Later I stopped liking it; the room was too damp and uncomfortable to live in.

Upon reaching the riverbank, instead of seeing a house, they first heard shouts of cursing:
"Hey! What kind of filthy scoundrel dares to set up a net here?"

"Bah! You muddle-headed towman, are you really that blind? This river isn't yours! What's it to you?"

At first glance, you can see two groups of people hurling insults at each other.

One group stood on the shore, and another group stood on the boat; they were clearly boat trackers and fishermen.

The two sides were exchanging fierce insults, starting with calling each other cowards and bastards. Later, the boat trackers cursed the fishermen, saying they "deserved to be hit by water ghosts," while the fishermen cursed the boat trackers, saying they were "headfirst in the water." The tension escalated, and they grabbed oars and tow ropes, seemingly about to fight. Suddenly, an old woman's shout silenced everyone:

"Those who live off the water are fighting amongst themselves! If the Dragon King saw your despicable behavior, he would drown you all!"

The person in the heat of the moment, upon hearing the insults, turned to find the source of the abuse, wanting to retaliate fiercely. But upon seeing the old woman, all their anger was swallowed back, leaving only a forced smile on their face.

She was an old woman dressed in gray clothes, with snow-white hair and two deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but her figure and appearance were still outstanding, and one glance was enough to make people unable to look away.

There were several men in long gowns around her, who seemed to be of high status and were all shopkeepers from the nearby lakeside. They all followed the old lady in the middle's lead.

Seeing that the argument was not going to escalate, the group dispersed and the onlookers were driven away one by one, and the lakeside became quiet again.

The old lady shook her head helplessly, her brows furrowed, her worry etched on her forehead. She whispered a few words to the shopkeepers, then turned to return to the house next door, when suddenly her gaze fell upon a carriage not far away. Upon seeing Lin Jiang sitting inside, the old lady's face immediately lit up with a smile, and her worry vanished.
"Grandson!"

"Milk!"

Lin Jiang jumped off the carriage, walked quickly to the old woman's side, and gave her a big hug.

This is his grandmother, Wen Xiangyi.

After letting go, Wen Xiangyi reached out and touched Lin Jiang's face:

"You've grown up again. It's been a year or two since I last saw you."

“A year and a half,” Lin Jiang said.

"Why did you suddenly come to see Grandma?" Wen Xiangyi glanced at the carriage. "Are your parents inside, or that old hag?"

Lin Jiang didn't speak, but Wen Xiangyi frowned.

She sensed something was wrong.

"What's wrong? Come inside and tell Grandma."

So he took Lin Jiang directly into a house not far away.

The house was not much different from Lin Jiang's previous memories. It was very large, with many servants and some shopkeepers who came to do business. It was very lively with people coming and going, and the threshold of the entire front yard was worn flat from being worn down.

After passing through the long corridor lined with willow trees, the backyard becomes much quieter. Here, only servants who are dedicated to serving Wen Xiangyi are present, and work-related matters cannot disturb her.

After entering the main courtyard, Lin Jiang still didn't let go of the reins, so Wen Xiangyi simply dismissed all the servants and asked Lin Jiang:

"Come on, tell Grandma, who bullied you?"

Lin Jiang sighed softly and told Wen Xiangyi everything about his parents' deaths from illness.

He omitted the fact that he had dug up the grave, but even so, it made the old woman stagger several times.

If Lin Jiang hadn't been quick-witted, the old lady would probably have collapsed.

She never imagined that her grandson's long journey would bring her such terrible news.

My son and daughter-in-law are dead!

It should be noted that Lin Jiang's father actually traveled to Yuxiang very frequently, and his mother mostly took over and helped with the pharmacy business. The entire Yuxiang business was to be left to his father in the future.

But I never expected this to happen!

"Disaster... disaster is everywhere..."

They helped Wen Xiangyi onto a stone chair, which helped her recover.

However, the old woman's eyes still held a sense of loneliness and sorrow:

"I'll have to visit the grave someday..."

Having managed the water guild for so many years, the old lady quickly composed herself. She looked back at the carriage, her expression somewhat complicated.
"Is that old man... inside here?"

"Yes, Grandpa... his mental state is a bit unstable right now."

"You old geezer, you're going to have to sleep outside and freeze to death." Wen Xiangyi muttered a few words, but then went to the side of the carriage and opened the door herself.

Sunlight streamed into the carriage, waking Lin Shengfeng from the commotion. He looked out the window in a daze and immediately spotted Wen Xiangyi.

As if bewitched, Lin Shengfeng slowly walked out of the carriage.

The third hand immediately caught Wen Xiangyi's attention. Wen Xiangyi bit her lip, but didn't seem afraid. She simply welcomed Lin Shengfeng with both hands.

"Old man."

She cursed Lin Shengfeng.

Lin Shengfeng couldn't understand and kept his eyes fixed on Wen Xiangyi.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face:
"Girl, you are extremely beautiful."
