Chapter 6
Of course, the wealth is not exposed.

This money can't be disclosed rashly, otherwise it may cause him to be killed.

These days, the common people farm the grain they grow by themselves, remove the grain tax, small tax and other taxes paid, and then get part of it by those big households, wealthy lords, even gangs, and bandits.

The rest is at most enough for my family to eat. In order to save food, I often only eat two meals a day, or even one meal!

When the harvest was not good, the laborers in the family had to find ways to go out to work and earn a few big bucks in exchange for some rice bran and sorghum noodles.

It is not uncommon to even sell children and daughters.

Even so, many people still starve to death every year.

If he went shopping every now and then, he would definitely be eye-catching, and he would probably be spotted soon.

A helpless corpse guard with a fortune in his hands is a fat sheep in the eyes of some people.

In addition, Chen Zhuo's last wish was resolved, and now, Li Yu has also been paid.

After the old shopkeeper finished speaking just now, Li Yu got paid for helping the deceased fulfill his last wish:

【Chen Zhuo's last wish】

Status: Completed.

Reward: A jar of bone-strengthening medicinal wine.

At this moment, Li Yu looked towards the corner of the room.

There, there was a jar of medicinal wine, the jar was dusty, about one foot high, and the mouth of the jar was sealed tightly.

After Li Yu opened it, he saw that the color of the wine inside was light yellow, without any impurities, and a scent of wine mixed with the smell of medicine came to his face.

He took a bowl and poured out some, about a mouthful.

After taking a sip, the taste is soft, the mellow aroma and the medicinal aroma are perfectly integrated, which makes people have a long aftertaste.

Not long after, a gust of heat rose from his stomach, which was warm and comfortable, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead in winter.

"Really good wine!"

Li Yu sighed in admiration, then carefully sealed the mouth of the jar, and then moved the jar to the bedroom.

"However, even if it has the effect of nourishing the body, it is not easy to drink too much of this wine. It is best to drink a little every morning and evening in the future, which can not only keep the cold away but also nourish the body."

It is time for young people to grow their bodies.With this altar of medicinal wine, coupled with regular work and rest, and sufficient food, you can quickly keep your body healthy and strong.

"These mortuary bed boards are empty again."

Glancing at the empty wooden bed, Li Yu shook his head.

With the yin and yang roulette, he can gain benefits by embalming corpses.

However, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, no matter how powerful his yin-yang roulette is, it's useless without a corpse.

With money, Li Yu didn't treat himself badly.

I made a special trip down the mountain to the town and bought a bucket of rice, a bag of salt, a small can of lard, and two pieces of dry bacon, which added a bit of flavor to the meal.

During the period, he specially brought a piece of bacon and a pot of old wine to visit Yang An's grandfather.

The old man's full name is Yang Feng. He was stepped on by a cow when he was helping the landlord's family to herd cattle. He injured his leg accidentally. ,Can not move.

Later, due to the loss of his son, he was hit, and his physical condition deteriorated day by day.

But now Mr. Yang is in good spirits. He was very happy to see Li Yu carrying wine and meat to see him. He hurriedly asked his grandson to fish out the pickles he pickled last year, steamed some steamed buns, and fried the bacon specially. Find half a plate of leftover fennel beans, and warm the old wine.

The three of them sat around and began to drink and eat meat. Li Yu chatted with Mr. Yang Feng, while Yang An just focused on cooking.

A skinny old yellow dog squatted under the table, salivating at the lure of the smell of bacon, wagging its tail constantly.

Mr. Yang Feng didn't seem to be very interested in meat. He just picked up his chopsticks and stopped picking them up. Then he sipped his drink and chatted with Li Yu from time to time. He watched the two of them eating happily with constant smiles on their faces.

What makes him happy is not that he has wine and meat to eat, but that besides his grandson, there are still people who remember him as an old cripple in their hearts.

This person, once the body is disabled, or encounters a major change, will definitely become very sensitive, and will be able to appreciate the good and bad of others.

Isn’t there such a saying—A friend in adversity sees the truth, and time sees people’s hearts.

After eating and drinking, Li Yu went back to Yizhuang. Before leaving, he said he would come back in a while and bring some tonic medicinal wine for the old man.

The old man smiled even wider when he heard this, his folds were squeezed into chrysanthemums, and he said good boy.

To say that the effect of this bone-strengthening medicinal wine is really good, plus the food is full of oil and water, and it can be stained with meat every day, so these days Li Yu has a big appetite, and he feels more energetic, energetic, and sleeps soundly. The bones of the body seem to be a little stronger.

This morning, after eating breakfast and drinking the medicinal wine, Li Yu was feeling a little smoky. He was sitting at the door basking in the sun, but he saw a few people pulling a cart towards Yizhuang.

Behind him was a middle-aged woman, crying.

Li Yu's heart moved, and he got up quickly.

When several people approached, Li Yu saw a seven or eight-year-old child lying on the cart, his face was pale and blue, his body was a little swollen, and his hair was still dripping with water.

However, on his ankle, there is a black mark, which looks a bit slender, like a woman's handprint, quite ferocious.

Seeing the black and blue handprint, Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, feeling an ominous premonition inexplicably.

Among the few people, the leader was a tall and muscular middle-aged man with long hands and feet, about 30 years old, dressed in coarse cloth and thick clothes, and was fairly neat.

He carried a hunting bow on his back, a quiver on his waist, and a short knife beside him. His big rough hands were covered with calluses, his eyes were bright and sharp, and he looked like a A refined temperament.

Li Yu knew this person. He was Guo Shouxin, the son of the village official of Guojia Village.

In this ancient society, the clan system prevailed, and the imperial power did not go to the countryside.

The power at the lower level has always been in the hands of the landlords and gentry, other than the clan members in the villages, towns and villages.

The villager of this Guo family village is also a respected elder of the Guo family. He specially used money and connections to let his son go to the martial arts school in the next county to learn a few skills, plus the hunting skills passed down from his family. Shouxin is also a well-known hunter.

It is said that this Guo Shouxin even hunted and killed Xiong Xiazi.

Guo Shouxin looked at Li Yu and said, "Brother Li, the second dog from our village was on the cart. This kid was playing by the pond yesterday and fell into the water accidentally. It was only discovered this morning, and he was temporarily placed in your house." Here, wait a few days for the coffin to be finished, and then find someone to take it away."

Li Yu said: "It's natural, I will take good care of him."

Guo Shouxin nodded and said nothing more.

In his eyes, Li Yu was just the corpse guard guarding the Yizhuang, he was a lowly citizen, and he was still a brat, so there was no need for small talk.

Li Yu pointed to the jet-black handprint, and asked curiously, "However, what's going on?"

Seeing the black handprint, Guo Shouxin's face was a little unnatural, he hesitated for a moment, glanced at him, and wrote lightly: "It's nothing, it just fell."
