Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

Gou the clerk looked into the urn with eager anticipation.

Instantly, he let out a miserable scream and fell directly to the ground in fright.

The surrounding villagers who were watching didn't know what had happened.

Why was it that this clerk was so frightened after just looking into the urn?

Soon, several of the braver villagers walked up to the earthen urn and looked inside.

At this time, several of the village elders recognized it.

It turned out that this earthen urn was not a money urn for storage, but a bone urn for burial.

It was very likely that this wasteland used to be someone's tomb.

However, according to customs in the countryside, digging up this kind of bone urn is a very unlucky thing.

The people around were all talking about it.

"Hey, don't you think it's strange?"

"It's the same piece of land, but when Li Yuan dug, it was a full urn of copper coins."

"But when this clerk came to dig, it was a skeleton in the urn."

One of the village elders said with a glint in his eyes.

"Can't you guys see it yet?"

"This is divine retribution!"

"Li Yuan was able to dig up copper coins the first time, that was a reward from God."

"This Clerk Gou can only dig up dead people's bones, that is also God punishing him."

"He seized someone else's land, this is divine retribution!"

Hearing the villagers' conversation,

Clerk Gou, who had just recovered, was also terrified.

He thought to himself, could it be that he had really offended God?

What should he do?

He raised his head and saw the old village chief not far away.

Old Village Chief Gao Bo was highly respected in the village.

When the villagers encountered something they couldn't explain, they would naturally ask the old village chief for advice.

At this time, Clerk Gou could only seek the help of the old village chief.

He hurriedly got up, walked to the village chief's side, and asked with cupped hands.

"Uncle Gao, I accidentally dug up a bone urn, what should I do?"

The old village chief glanced at the clerk. In fact, he looked down on this Clerk Gou very much.

Not only was his ability far inferior to the previous clerk, but his personality was also extremely greedy.

The old village chief decided to let this greedy clerk suffer a little.

So he stroked his beard and said slowly.

"Mr. Clerk, to be honest, in our countryside, digging up a bone urn is indeed an unlucky thing."

"If it is not handled properly and angers the mountain gods and monsters, it will bring disaster upon oneself."

As soon as Clerk Gou heard this, he was even more frightened and his face was full of nervousness.

He hurriedly cupped his hands again and asked the village chief.

"This... what should I do?"

"Old Village Chief, do you have any way to resolve this?"

The old village chief thought for a while, then sighed and said.

"There's only this way, you must find a coffin to properly bury this skeleton."

"Then erect a tombstone and build a grave for him, and then hire someone to perform a three-day ritual to appease the dead."

"If you do this, you should be able to resolve the disaster."

As soon as Clerk Gou heard this, a look of embarrassment immediately appeared on his face.

If he really did as the old village chief taught him.

Then he would probably have to spend a lot of money.

Looking at the bone urn that had just been dug up.

Clerk Gou was full of regret.

He had forcibly exchanged the wasteland from Li Yuan's hands.

He had dug for a whole day.

His hands were covered in calluses.

As a result, not only did he not dig up a single coin, but he also dug up a skeleton from who knows where.

This was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it.

This time, he had really suffered a big loss from seizing the land.

Thinking of this, the clerk felt more and more aggrieved.

He actually sat on the ground and began to cry softly.

The villagers looked at his incompetence and were all filled with disgust and contempt.

Regardless of Clerk Gou's annoyance,

At this time, Li Yuan had already returned home to count the money with his two wives.

This time, the copper coins dug up from the wasteland amounted to about twenty-three strings.

Although the hemp ropes that held the copper coins together were already rotten.

The copper coins still shone with a copper glow.

These coins ranged from coins from the previous dynasty hundreds of years ago to coins from decades ago.

Although it was not known who had buried these copper coins.

They now belonged to Li Yuan.

Having obtained a windfall, Li Yuan was in a very good mood.

In this way, some of his money-making plans would have start-up capital.

He was feeling complacent when he raised his head and saw his wife, Chu Wanjun, with a worried look on her face.

Li Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"My wife, what's wrong?"

"I see you have a lot of worries on your face."

"We got money, why aren't you happy?"

Chu Wanjun thought for a moment and said carefully.

"Husband, I think this windfall is both a blessing and a curse."

"Our family is naturally happy to get money."

"But it will also be envied by the villagers."

"People in the world do not suffer from poverty but suffer from inequality."

"Not to mention these foolish men and women in the village."

Li Yuan felt that what Chu Wanjun said made a lot of sense.

He had obtained such a large windfall, and there would inevitably be many villagers who envied or even were jealous of him.

Unknowingly, he might have made enemies with many people.

Although Li Yuan didn't care, he had just moved into Dongxiang Village.

He had not yet gained a firm foothold.

Chu Wanjun's worries were not unreasonable.

Li Yuan nodded.

"Wanjun, you're right."

"Then, what do you think I should do?"

Li Yuan had actually already made a calculation in his mind.

He just wanted to see if the wife he had chosen thought the same as he did.

Chu Wanjun thought for a moment and said.

"I think that my husband can distribute 30% of these copper coins to the villagers of Dongxiang Village."

"Now is the time when the crops are not yet ripe, and many poor families in the village are starving."

"Giving them some money at this time can be said to be sending charcoal in the snow."

"My husband will surely be able to win over the hearts of the people in Dongxiang Village."

Li Yuan was very satisfied in his heart. His wife thought the same as he did.

She had a long-term vision and was not deceived by small profits. He had truly gained a virtuous wife.

"Okay, then I will do as Wanjun says."

"Tomorrow, I will go to the village to distribute the money."

At this time, the sky was gradually darkening.

But there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

The three people in the house were all stunned.

Chu Xiaozhu hurriedly went out to see who it was.

She pushed open the courtyard door and saw.

Standing outside the door was a tall girl.

Her facial features were very delicate, but her skin was slightly dark.

She was wearing a somewhat tattered linen dress full of patches, and she was carrying a large bundle on her back.

When she saw someone open the door, she asked carefully.

"Excuse me, is the master here Li Yuan?"

Xiaozhu looked at the girl in front of her in a daze.

At this time, Li Yuan also walked out of the house and looked up.

It turned out to be the maidservant who sold herself to save her father, whom he had bought for three taels of silver in the Qingyuan County city human market.

At that time, Li Yuan had told her the address of the military household on his waist tag.

He told her to come and find him after her father was cured.

This matter had already passed for four days, and Li Yuan had almost forgotten about it.

Unexpectedly, this tall girl had actually found him on her own.

The tall girl outside the door saw Li Yuan walking out of the house.

She immediately recognized him at a glance. It was this young man who had spent three taels of silver to buy her on that day.

Enabling her to have money to hire a doctor to save her father.

The girl immediately walked into the courtyard and knelt down in the courtyard with a plop.

She kowtowed to Li Yuan and said.

"This servant, Xia Xia, greets the master."
