I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

'Now there are only three people left in the family, it's so lonely.'

?Ah±钿 smiled, and suddenly turned to look at his brother, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"Hold on a little longer. Miss Shan can sleep, but we can't." Li Xingwen thought his sister was sleepy, so he couldn't help but encourage her.

"I'm not sleepy, brother, when are you going to marry Sister Shan?"

Li Qiaoyun's mind was very simple. Wasn't the house quiet? When her brother got a sister-in-law, it would be lively.

"What nonsense"

Li Xingwen frowned and scolded her. Li Qiaoyun pouted in grievance but said nothing more.

"Xingwen, Qiaoyun, it's almost time to serve dinner."

The woman gave instructions to her two children and she stood up first.

This meal is not for the living, but for the dead souls who have come to enjoy it.

Upon hearing this, the brother and sister hurried forward to help their mother.

After the food was served, the three of them went into the room and avoided the crowd according to custom.

Since they are separated by life and death, it is not easy for them to meet again even if they are family.

"Should we hide under the quilt?" Li Qiaoyun asked her mother.

"Don't look around. Just sit still."

Dongdong--

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Who is knocking on the door in the middle of the night?

The three of them looked at each other. Li Xingwen wanted to go out to open the door, but was stopped by his mother.

"Don't. What if it's your father? We are separated by Yin and Yang, so you can't let him suck away your Yang life."

No way?

Li Xingwen was slightly stunned, and then he heard a very familiar voice coming from outside.

"It's freezing, open the door! Xingwen, Qiaoyun, mother, open the door--"

.....

Hearing such shouts, even Li Xingwen turned pale, not to mention the two women.

Li Qiaoyun quickly got into the bed, while the woman's legs went weak and she sat down on the ground leaning against the wall.

"I smell it, is the meal ready?"

"Open the door, I want to talk to you."

The knocks on the door became more and more urgent. At this time, Li Xingwen calmed down and shouted loudly: "Dad, we are already separated by life and death, can we just talk through the door?"

"The boss"

The woman also shouted in a trembling voice: "I know you miss us, but you can't come in. If you come in, what will happen if Xingwen and Qiaoyun's lifespans are sucked away?"

Is there such a thing?

Outside the house, the mole at the man's feet thought for a moment and came up with a solution.

"It's okay. I'm just borrowing a corpse to revive my soul. As long as my body is still there, it won't suck away your lifespan."

Ah, there is such a saying?

The woman was stunned for a moment, then stood up with the help of the wall.

"Xingwen, Qiaoyun, you wait in the room for a while. Mother will go out and take a look first."

After his father's death, Li Xingwen considered himself to be the backbone of the family. How could he let his mother go out and take risks at this time?

Without saying a word, the scholar strode out of the room.

Ignoring the anxious calls of his mother and sister, he took a deep breath and silently observed the situation outside the house through the crack in the door.

"..."

It is indeed my father. Has he really come back to life?

With a creak, Li Xingwen managed to keep calm and open the door.

"Son, my son."

The man did not rush to go in, but kept calling out his thoughts.

The scholar's eyes suddenly turned red. He held his father's hand and choked up, "Dad, you've been tired. Come in and have dinner."

.....

Li Qiaoyun was destined to never forget this haunted night. Looking at her father who was chattering non-stop while eating, she suddenly burst into tears.

"Dad, I missed you so much."

"Ugh"

The man sighed and said slowly, "Dad is gone after all. From now on, you have to learn to take care of yourself and don't let your mother worry too much."

"kindness!"

Seeing his daughter being well-behaved, the man nodded and looked at his son: "Xingwen, I have been thinking a lot while lying on the ground these days."

"Dad, tell me."

"The imperial examination is not unimportant, but there is something more important than the imperial examination."

There is nothing more important in the world than the imperial examination!

Li Xingwen's lips moved, but he forced himself not to refute.

"Boss, what do you mean?" The woman looked thoughtful.

"It is of utmost importance that the incense of my Li family can continue!"

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is not having offspring.

The man lay alone on the ground for a long time, perhaps he had a deeper understanding of this.

"Dad, I am now concentrating on..."

"What's wrong? You can't study just because you have a wife?"

Li Xingwen didn't dare to retort, but in his heart he didn't agree with his father's words.

"Xingwen, you should get engaged first so that your father can be at ease." The woman lectured with a stern face.

"It's so sudden, who do you want me to get engaged to?"

"Miss Shan is pretty good!" Li Xingwen's father said quickly, "She just came to the grave to see me, calling me grandpa."

Li Xingwen's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Shan Yunhe had walked outside the house before and actually went to pay homage to the grave.

This kind of thoughtfulness is really rare.

"Such a filial girl is rare in the world. Son, you must not miss her."

"Brother, I also think Sister Shan is pretty good."

Everyone's comments made the scholar feel embarrassed.

He quickly said, "Be quiet, she's still sleeping in the room, it's not good if she hears it."

.....

After the man finished his meal slowly, he went to the cemetery accompanied by his wife and children.

"Go, go, I have no regrets if I can see you one last time."

After waving to his family, the man lay down in the coffin and there was no movement anymore.

Although it was still a sad farewell, the three of them showed more or less relief on their faces.

"Brother, did Sister Shan hear what we just said?"

This, shouldn't be the case? There was no movement in the room.

Li Xingwen was not sure, so he decided to observe Dan Yunhe's expression and behavior early tomorrow morning to see if there was anything unusual.

However......

"Mr. Li, thank you for your hospitality. I will be leaving now."

There's absolutely nothing unusual!

"By the way, this purse is for you."

But, but I gave a purse.

What does it mean?

It was rare for Li Xingwen to worry about anything other than studying. Even after returning to the county, even Tangtang noticed that he was absent-minded.

"Cousin, what are you thinking about while staring at that purse?" the little girl asked curiously.

"Well, this was given to me by Miss Shan, but I don't quite understand what she meant."

Sister Shan?

Tangtang quickly took the purse and took a look. Sure enough, there was a small pink wooden sign inside.

"Haha, cousin, you are such a nerd that you don't even know the marriage card."

The little girl smiled and said, "Don't think too much, Sister Shan must agree!"

Chapter 029: Ten years is too long, seize the day

Since Shan Yunhe responded with the marriage card, Li Xingwen was not going to drag it out any longer.

only......

"What's wrong, cousin? You look so sad all of a sudden." Tangtang asked puzzledly.

"I was just thinking about how to find a matchmaker to propose marriage, and what kind of betrothal gifts to give."

He seemed to have difficulty speaking and stopped talking halfway through.

It was mainly a question of money. In order to bury his father in style, he had already borrowed money from several relatives.

It’s only been a few days and I have to ask for help again?

We are not rich!

"Is it because you don't have much money?"

After waiting for a long time without seeing any response from the scholar, Tangtang thought for a moment and then asked this question.

Seeing Li Xingwen nodding helplessly, the girl said decisively that she had more money on hand and would help him a little first.

"How did this happen?"

Li Xingwen waved her hands repeatedly: "Tangtang, you earn this money by doing embroidery for others every day. You should save it well. It will be of great use in the future."

Having said that, the girl still thinks that money should be spent when it is needed.

"When Tangtang first arrived at Kelai Village, I fell into the river and almost drowned. It was Sister Qiaoyun who saved me."

The little girl said gratefully: "Not only that, cousin, you also taught Tangtang to read, and sister Shan is also very good to Tangtang."

You are all very kind to Tangtang, Tangtang hopes that you can be happy.

Li Xingwen felt that he could not accept the girl's hard-earned money, so he refused again.

"Oh, my cousin is really a wooden-headed guy."

Tangtang puffed up her cheeks and said, "Even if I lend it to you, you have to sign a receipt. Tangtang will come back to ask for it later."

Having said that, the scholar finally accepted it.

"If Li Xingwen becomes rich in the future, he will never forget his cousin's kindness!"

After solemnly handing the document to Tangtang, the scholar said with a moved look on his face.

"You're welcome. Tangtang, go tell Sister Shan the good news."

With that, the little girl ran out of the house.
