Chapter 585

"Brother Jiang, come to my house and take a rest," Li Wei smiled, "My parents would be very happy if they knew you were here."

Jiang Yuan nodded and followed Li Wei towards his home.

Li Wei's home is deep in the village, near the end of the village. It is a two-story brick house.

The red brick walls have not been painted and look very rustic, but the yard in front of the door is very clean. There are two rows of grapefruit trees planted on both sides of the yard. They are now fully ripe and hanging on the branches with golden colors.

Li Wei picked the two largest ones from the tree next to him and said, "Brother Jiang, this grapefruit tree is older than me. It was transplanted from the old house."

Qin Wen smiled and said: "Li Wei, I think your house is the only brick house in this village. Is that okay?"

Li Wei smiled and nodded, "Originally, my house was also an adobe house. Later, I worked for Brother Dashan and earned some money, so I sent it back to my parents to build this house."

"It's not for nothing, as long as it can keep out the wind and rain. You may not know that in the past, the walls of our adobe house had cracks. When it rained, the roof tiles leaked everywhere. It rained heavily outside, and the house...

It’s raining lightly.”

Qin Wen nodded, "Qin Wu and I have never met before."

Jiang Yuan wrote lightly: "I have lived that kind of life, and it is not easy."

As he said that, Jiang Yuan said softly: "I have also ignored a problem all this time. From now on, I have to pay you wages every month."

Qin Wengang wanted to say that he was not short of money, but suddenly he thought of Li Wei, who still needed to make money to support his family.

Li Wei looked at Jiang Yuan gratefully, "I won't be pretentious, thank you, Brother Jiang."

While talking, a middle-aged man walked out of the room. He looked almost fifty years old, wearing coarse clothes and carrying a hoe in his hand.

He is Li Wei's father Li Shinong.

Seeing Li Wei, Li Shinong was stunned, and then shouted with a smile, "Li Wei, why are you back again?"

Li Wei smiled and nodded, "Dad, let me introduce you."

"This is my boss Jiang Yuan, and these two next to me are my good friends Qin Wen and Qin Wu."

When Li Shinong heard this, he quickly moved his hoe to the side, smiled and said to Jiang Yuan and the others: "Welcome, you three."

"Quick, sit in the room," Li Shinong seemed a little cautious, "Li Wei, go ask your mother to make tea. I will go to town to buy meat and treat your boss and two friends to a good meal at noon."

"Uncle, don't bother," Jiang Yuan smiled, shook his head, and said to Li Wei, "Just eat whatever you have at home, don't be particular."

Li Wei also nodded and said to his father: "Dad, they are used to eating big fish and meat, so they like to eat some vegetarian food. The radish, cabbage and other vegetables in our field are the best vegetables."

Li Shinong ignored Li Wei's words and said with a smile: "You should buy it. You can't neglect three guests."

After saying that, Li Shinong invited Jiang Yuan and the others into the house, and then walked quickly outside the yard.

Li Wei smiled awkwardly, "My dad is like this, stubborn."

"This is not stubbornness, this is etiquette. After all, the older generation is not as casual as us."

"Thank you very much for your father's kindness."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he led Qin Wen and Qin Wu towards the house.

But as soon as he entered the room, Jiang Yuan frowned.

Because the room was actually filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

Following the smell, I saw a small casserole cooking on the stove in the kitchen.

Jiang Yuan took a closer look and found that they were some wild vegetables and the like.

Li Wei explained: "My mother is very unwell and cannot get better even after seeing a doctor. My father doesn't know where he got the folk remedies, so he made these to make medicine."

"But my mother's health is getting better."

Seeing the smile on Li Wei's face, Jiang Yuan's eyes became serious.

"Invite your mother down and I'll show her. This medicine... is poisonous."

poisonous?

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically.

Although his mother's condition has improved a lot, Li Wei knows that Jiang Yuan will not tell lies, and there is no need to scare him.

Since Jiang Yuan said it was poisonous, it must be poisonous!

Thinking of this, Li Wei hurriedly ran upstairs, and two minutes later, he took his mother Yuan Suqiu downstairs.

Yuan Suqiu looks much younger than Li Shinong. Although she is already in her fifties, she doesn't look too old and doesn't have many wrinkles on her face.

It's just that her face doesn't look good, there isn't much color in it.

Jiang Yuan could tell at a glance that she was indeed poisoned, but the poison was not strong and was slowly eroding her body.

"Don't believe in folk remedies or anything like that," Jiang Yuan shook his head, took out an antidote pill from his arms and handed it to Yuan Suqiu.

Yuan Suqiu was a little confused, so she heard Li Weidao: "Mom, this is my boss."

With that said, Li Wei took the elixir, went to get a glass of water, and asked Yuan Suqiu to drink the medicine.

After a while, Yuan Suqiu's mental state improved a lot, and she personally boiled hot water to make tea for Jiang Yuan and the others.

Although it is the most ordinary jasmine tea, it is very thirst-quenching.

When he heard that Jiang Yuan and the others came here after hearing the story of the old immortal, Yuan Suqiu smiled and said:

"The old god is a very mysterious person. Li Wei's grandfather received the advice from the old god when he was a child. He found a Ganoderma lucidum plant in the mountains and sold half of a small goldfish, so he had the money to marry my mother-in-law."

Li Wei suddenly realized, "I wonder why I ate meat every day when I was a kid."

"You still have the nerve to say that all your grandfather's money was eaten by you."

Several people suddenly laughed.

After a while, Li Shinong came back. Seeing that Yuan Suqiu's complexion had improved a lot, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shinong suddenly became nervous when he heard that the folk remedy he found was actually a chronic poison.

"Boss Jiang, thank you very much."

"Uncle, you're welcome," Jiang Yuan shook his head.

Li Wei asked at this time: "Dad, do you know where the old god is buried?"

Li Shinong frowned, "Why do you ask this?"

Li Wei didn't hide anything, "You know those people in robes who came from the village, right? They came just for the old god's tomb."

Li Shinong fell silent immediately.

After a long time, he said:

"When the old god was buried, your grandfather was also present."

"Your grandfather only left one sentence about the place where the old immortal was buried."

"Your grandfather said that the old god's grave is not on the ground."

“If it’s not on earth, could it be in heaven?”

Li Wei murmured subconsciously, but was glared at by Li Shinong, "The old god is the benefactor of our family, you can't joke."

After a while, seven or eight dishes were served on the table.

Li Shinong took out a bottle of liquor and greeted Jiang Yuan and the others warmly.

The meal lasted an hour and a half.

After dinner, Jiang Yuan said he would go to the village.

Li Wei took Jiang Yuan and Qin Wen and Qin Wu out.

Walking on the path in the village, Li Wei asked in a low voice:

"Brother Jiang, you said that the old god's tomb is not on the ground. What does this mean?"

Jiang Yuan smiled, "If it's not on the ground, it's definitely not in the sky, let alone on a tree."

"It's actually very simple. It's either a cliff burial or a water burial."

"You mean, the old god's tomb is either on the cliff or in the water?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Is there such a place nearby?"

Li Wei shook his head, "The village is surrounded by farmland and mountain forests. There are no suitable cliffs. The two reservoirs are only used to store water to irrigate the farmland."

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "Cliff burial may seem simple, but in fact the requirements are extremely high. It must be in a place with a good environment, and the height of the cliff also has requirements."

"For water burial, the requirements are even more stringent, and ordinary small ponds are not acceptable."

The three of them suddenly frowned, "Then where can we find it?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, you will know it in the evening."

Although the three of them didn't know why they knew it at night, they didn't doubt Jiang Yuan's words.

In the evening, Yuan Suqiu cooked a few more dishes, but few of them drank much. After dinner, Li Wei wanted to clean up the room.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and said, "No, I have to go out in a while."

Li Wei nodded, went to make a pot of tea, and sat in the courtyard with Jiang Yuan and the other three.

Tonight the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Jiang Yuan suddenly stood up and said, "Follow me!"

The three of them looked at each other and followed Jiang Yuan to get up and leave without asking any questions.

After leaving the village, Jiang Yuan went all the way north into the mountains, and then climbed over the mountains.

After walking for several hours, Jiang Yuan didn't stop until it was getting darker.

Looking at the valley in front of him, Li Wei was filled with surprise, "Why did I never know there was a mysterious valley here?"

Qin Wen and Qin Wu nodded, "There are no traces of anyone coming in this valley, which is abnormal."

Jiang Yuan explained:

"Don't forget that this place is only a few hours away from your village. There are other villages around, but it is not easy to find it."

"Think about it. The way we came here was not an ordinary one. We climbed several steep slopes and there were no roads in many places."

"Some places are like this. It's obviously here, but there is no road leading to it, so no one can find this place all year round."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan walked towards the valley.

The air in the valley was very fresh, and the dew on the grass wet the trouser legs of the four of them.

The little hare was frightened and ran quickly through the grass.

When a few people reached the edge of the valley, they saw a large pool of water appearing in front of them.

It's said to be a pool, but at its narrowest point it's more than ten meters wide.

The key is that on one side of the pool, there is a nearly straight cliff more than 30 meters high.

Jiang Yuan's eyes were fixed on the middle part of the cliff, where there was a two-meter-high gap.

"Just wait for me."

Jiang Yuan said, jumped directly into the lake, swam towards the stone wall, then put his hand into the crack of the stone and started to climb up.

In just a few minutes, Jiang Yuan climbed up the stone crevice.

Sure enough, an open cypress coffin was placed here, but inside there were only some faded clothes and no bones.

Jiang Yuan frowned and looked at the pool below.

After searching the bottom of the pool for a moment, Jiang Yuan's eyes flashed and he found a clue.

Although Jiang Yuan is not an expert in Feng Shui, he does know something about it.

This old god obviously made some arrangements in order to preserve his body.

As for what Jiang Yuan is really interested in, if this old immortal is really that amazing, then he must also be a powerful transcendent.

Since the heads of several major families came to look for his tomb in person, it must be because he had some secrets or left something behind!
