Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 2 Night, Deep Mountains, Sister-in-law Wang
Suppressing the joy and excitement in his heart, Fang Xu looked at the [Inherit] and [Give Up Inheritance] buttons on the virtual panel and fell into deep thought.

He noticed the words on the panel, which said that he could randomly inherit one of Wang Ergou's three inheritances, and randomness represented uncertainty.

Not to mention the inheritance, even if there is a title deed and legal procedures, Wang Erhu is a warrior and a palace soldier. The laws of the Dayu Dynasty have privileges for warriors. A mortal like me may not be able to get the house even with a title deed.

In the end, you might not get to eat the mutton, but get into trouble and be suspected of being a murderer for no reason.

As for the second inheritance... Although Wang Ergou's wife is very smooth and still has charm, the thief Cao killed his eldest son, nephew and general Dian Wei for the sake of Zou. Facts have proved that you can have a good wife, but you have to have strength.

Legacy Three is naturally the best.

Although one hundred taels of silver is not considered a huge fortune at the moment, it is still a considerable amount of wealth.

To strengthen their muscles and bones, a warrior not only needs guidance from an expert, but also needs elixirs and blood food to nourish the body. All of these cost a lot of money. Fang Xu has spent most of his income on this in recent years. Although he has not yet stepped into the ranks of martial artists, he has already reached the level of bone refining and is much stronger than ordinary people.

One hundred taels of silver should be enough for him to buy medicine and blood food for a month.

After staring at the light screen in front of him and thinking for a long time, Fang Xu suddenly smiled.

Why should we worry about this problem?
They are all free things, so there is no reason not to want them. If you get inheritance three by chance, you can take the hundred taels of silver. If you really get inheritance one or two by chance, just don't want them.

Thinking of this, he directly chose to inherit.

The light curtain moved, and the three legacies rolled quickly. After a moment, the rolling speed gradually slowed down, and then the light curtain gradually froze.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the second legacy. ]

[System blessing in progress, Wang Ergou's wife Wang has developed a favorable impression of the host, please choose carefully. 】

Looking at the words appearing on the screen, Fang Xu shook his head slightly.

Not the worst, nor the best, but it is the most difficult result. What should I do now?
The light curtain in front of him slowly disappeared, but Fang Xu was in a dilemma.

After a long time, he put down the rice washing pot in his hand, looked at the sky which had completely darkened, tidied his clothes a little, and walked out of the house carrying a jar of homemade rice wine.

At three quarters after the evening, the people in the town had already gone to rest after a day's work. Walking through the streets, Fang Xu soon arrived at the second courtyard of Wang Ergou.

Having a younger brother who is a palace soldier, although Wang Ergou is not as wealthy as those powerful landlords in Fenglin Town, his family is still considered wealthy. If most of Wang Erhu's salary had not been used to buy elixirs for physical training, the Wang family might be better off.

Boom boom boom!
dong dong!

After standing outside the door and hesitating for a moment, Fang Xu somehow knocked on the gate.

"Who is it?"

After a while, a soft voice was heard in the yard, followed by small footsteps approaching from afar.

"Sister-in-law, it's me." Fang Xu lowered his voice for fear that the neighbors would hear.

The courtyard door slowly opened a crack, and a young woman wearing a hairpin, a bun, and a purple dress stuck her head out. Perhaps it was as Wang Ergou said, his wife never did housework, seldom worked, and took very good care of herself. The skin on her pretty face without makeup was slightly shiny, and her eyes and eyebrows were three parts charming and seven parts reserved.

Seeing Fang Xu outside the door, Wang smiled faintly, with a slight blush on her face.

"It's Brother Fang, please come in."

The slender waist was slightly bent, and after Wang bowed, she made way and spoke softly.

Fang Xu was secretly shocked when he saw this. The system was indeed powerful. Wang usually looked like a cold beauty. How could she be so charming like now?

Walking into the courtyard, Fang Xu asked knowingly, "Sister-in-law, is Brother Ergou not here?"

Wang shook her head slightly: "During the day, he said he was going to reclaim wasteland at the foot of the mountain. It's already this hour, and he hasn't come back yet."

Didn't come back... It seems that Wang Ergou died outside. Fang Xu sighed in his heart, but pretended to be worried and said:
"He hasn't come back yet at this hour... There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains. Could something have happened to Brother Ergou?"

Hearing this, Wang's face flashed with worry, and she looked at Fang Xu at a loss. "Don't worry, sister-in-law. How about I accompany you to look for it?" Fang Xu comforted her.

Wang bowed with a hint of gratitude and said hurriedly, "I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Fang. I'll get you a lantern."

……

On the path outside the town, Fang Xu was holding a hoe for self-defense, and Wang was holding a lantern. The two of them were moving slowly along the winding mountain path. Occasionally, roars of unknown beasts could be heard from the mountains, which frightened Wang. She leaned towards Fang Xu involuntarily, and her other hand had already grabbed his clothes involuntarily.

At the end of the mountain path, under Wang's guidance, the two soon came to an open field.

Is this the land?

Fang Xu sighed slightly.

This is not some unowned wasteland. It was originally cultivated land owned by Old Man Liu in the town. However, Old Man Liu went hunting in the mountains in winter and was killed by a ferocious beast. His only son went wrong in his cultivation in his early years, leaving him with a half-crippled body and unable to cultivate...

"Brother Fang, that looks like our family's working ox!" Wang, who was holding a lantern, hid half of her body behind Fang Xu, pointed at a black shadow on the left and spoke with a trembling body.

Fang Xu looked intently and saw a working ox lying on the ground not far to the left.

The two of them walked closer quickly, and when they could see the oxen working on the ground clearly by the light of the lanterns—

"what!"

Wang suddenly let out a scream, and the lantern in her hand fell to the ground in fright. She instantly hugged Fang Xu's arms.

Fang Xu was also frightened by the scene before him.

The huge working ox had no breath left, and its entire body looked very strange. Its flesh and blood seemed to have evaporated, leaving only the skeleton wrapped in cowhide!

He mustered up the courage to pick up the lantern on the ground, held it up and looked around carefully, and suddenly he found a pair of feet in the grass in the distance.

"Sister-in-law..." After calling out to Wang, Fang Xu walked slowly towards the feet with a hoe in hand. Wang followed behind him, her body trembling, and she held Fang Xu's arms tightly with both arms.

He moved closer to the bushes and handed the lantern to Wang. Fang Xu used a hoe to push aside the bushes and saw clearly that the owner of the pair of feet was Wang Ergou.

At this moment, Wang Ergou seemed to have encountered a great terror before his death. His eyes were wide open, with a look of fear on his face. A bloody wound on his neck almost cut off his head, and blood stained his cloth clothes red.

Seeing such a bloody scene, Wang's eyes turned white and she fainted from fright.

Fang Xu quickly supported her limp body, pinched her philtrum with his thumb and shouted.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"

Lying in Fang Xu's arms, Wang woke up slowly. In a trance, she caught a glimpse of Wang Ergou's body. She didn't know whether she was scared or sad, but she threw herself into Fang Xu's arms and started crying.

"Don't cry, sister-in-law. Brother Ergou...did he offend anyone?"

Wang Ergou was obviously killed by a knife in the neck. Judging from the wound, the murderer was very professional.

Wang cried for a while, then sobbed softly, "Ergou is a bit overbearing, but he's not a bad person...Except for the quarrel he had with the second son of the Zhang family in the town at the land temple a few days ago, he hasn't offended anyone."

"Brother Fang, what...what should we do now?" Wang was at a loss and looked at Fang Xu pitifully.

Fang Xu glanced at Wang Ergou's body and said after a moment's hesitation: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. The most urgent thing is to report to the police first."

"At least we should let our Erhu brother who is far away in Huangzhou Prefecture know that Ergou brother was murdered."

Wang Ergou died, and he got a chance to inherit the estate. Although the estate was a bit tricky now, it proved one thing: he needed friends.

Help the Wang family and make friends with Wang Erhu. Then, when Wang Erhu dies in the future, won’t he have another chance to inherit the estate?
