A golden sun hung in the blue sky, and its rays splashed on the busy men in the village. The golden light reflected on their naked skin, and the dust in the air flew up and down.

The village was bustling with activity, and many men from Linjia Village were building houses here.

Everyone was busy, and Lin Wanxing was not idle either. He was packing up his belongings in the old house and was going to stay at his third aunt's house for a few days.

The Lin family's house was built starting from the backyard and was almost half built by the time it was mid-September.

Master Lin was quite reliable. He introduced Cao Tou, a very experienced old master. Most of the houses of the wealthy families in the county were built under his direction. He was an energetic old man with a strong personality.

Now he particularly likes to study the drawings that Lin Wanxing drew for him. The construction of the new toilet, pipes, and kang fascinates him and he praises them again and again.

Lin Wanxing's comic stories have also been printed and sold: "The Cat Detective's Story Collection" and "The Story of the Calabash Brothers Fighting the Goblins". Both are sold in the bookstore run by Mrs. Qi.

At first, it didn't attract much attention, so Lin Wanxing drew two poster cartoons, which were very novel and funny. They were hung in the bookstore and attracted a lot of attention.

The book gradually became famous, and almost every family that could afford it bought two or three copies for their children. Even adults liked reading it and were looking forward to the publication of the next story.

Lin Wanxing was delighted to receive another two hundred taels of dividends, but the budget for the house had long exceeded Lin Wanxing's advance payment. The bricks for the wall alone cost a lot of money to build the house, which covered an area of ​​six acres. Lin Wanxing also built a martial arts arena, and making toilets was another expense.

It's a pity that money can't be spent easily. Fortunately, there will be dividends from the storybook in the future. Grandma Lin and Lin Ruhui have been studying how to knit wool recently and can already knit a simple scarf.

Old Mrs. Lin became more and more addicted to knitting, and she held on to two bamboo needles every day.

Lin Wanxing also drew plush vests with pearl buttons, turtleneck sweaters, shawls, hats, scarves, gloves and other new things, which made old lady Lin obsessed. She urged Lin Minglei to buy more wool every day.

Second Aunt Lin received two taels of silver from the old lady and was in charge of preparing lunch with several women from the village. Cooking for nearly forty workers was also a big project.

Village chief Lin often came to see everyone busy at work and had a cup of tea and chatted with Cao Tou. He was also very happy to see that the villagers were getting better and better.

Village chief Lin came over again today and greeted Cao Tou.

At this time, a mahogany carriage with blue curtains slowly drove into the busy Linjia Village. The curtain was lifted at one corner, as if someone was looking out to observe everything in the village.

The villagers were used to seeing a horse-drawn carriage entering the village. They thought it was someone coming to visit Lin Daxiong's family again, and no one came forward to take a look.

But the carriage went to the foot of the mountain to the west. Some people were surprised. A child ran over and shouted, "Grandpa Village Chief, the carriage went to the foot of the mountain to the west."

What's at the western foot of the mountain are only collapsed houses and a solitary grave. No one in the village goes there anymore because they think it's unlucky and are afraid of getting contaminated by something unclean!

Village chief Lin pondered silently for a while, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he said goodbye to Cao Tou and headed west.

The people in the carriage jumped off and what came into view was a dark ruin. In the ruins there was an earthen fort, surrounded by weeds and looking desolate and bleak.

A gust of wind blew, and the weeds tilted, making it look even more desolate!

The man with a black cloth and a blue collar wore a silver crown, his hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes were sinister.

He didn't expect that in just a few months, his home turned into a ruin and his useless parents turned into a pile of earth.

His heart instantly sank, and he wanted to kill everyone here.

He originally thought that he was returning home in glory, and that his parents would welcome him with joy and be proud of him. He would make all the villagers envy his wealth and glory, and those who looked down on him would look at him in new light. However, everything turned out to be completely different from what he had expected.

He instantly became angry and clenched his fists. He took out a knife from the car and strode towards the old village chief's house.

Village chief Lin was also coming this way. When he saw the person striding towards him, he asked tentatively: Are you Lin Tiedan?

Lin Tiedan stopped, looked at the old village chief, and sneered, "You are not senile yet, you still remember me."

Then tell me, what's going on over there? Has my home been destroyed by you?

Lin Tiedan questioned the old man in front of him in an arrogant manner.

Village Chief Lin waved his hands and said, "No, that's not it! Your parents died of illness before. We only found out later that they were both dead at home! We buried your parents there first. Now that you are here, let's bury them again!"

The old village chief was also worried when looking at the lonely grave. It was not a good thing to keep it there forever. Fortunately, someone came and took care of the matter, saving the villagers from breaking the taboo.

Lin Tiedan glared at him and shouted: You are talking nonsense, how could my parents die together, were they killed by you guys in collusion?

Lin Tiedan asked a series of questions and then grabbed Village Chief Lin by the collar. The poor, skinny old man was lifted off the ground by his feet.

My parents are not sick at all, and it was you who burned down the house, right? What are you trying to cover up?

The old village chief's lips trembled with fear. At this time, a child rushed forward and punched Lin Tiedan, saying, "Don't bully my grandpa, you bad guy, let my grandpa go."

Lin Tiedan kicked the child to the ground. Village chief Lin was also panicked and called out: "Choudan, are you okay? Go home quickly."

The child was smart. Regardless of the pain in his chest, he quickly got up and ran towards the village.

Village chief Lin suddenly became angry and scolded: You abandoned your parents, emptied out the family assets, and you still have the nerve to question us. Your parents died of an epidemic. If you don’t believe me, go and ask around. There are also people in the county whose entire family died of an epidemic.

We discovered your parents dead at home two days after they died. The county magistrate ordered that they be burned and buried. If you don't agree, go and find the magistrate.

Lin Tiedan thought of the purpose of his coming here, let go of the old village chief and asked: Why are my parents the only ones who got the disease? Aren’t you all fine?

What can we do? Your parents were the first to be infected, and the others got it later, so they had a chance to be treated.

Lin Tiedan frowned and thought. He got a lot of information from the restaurants and inns in the county town. There was indeed an epidemic, which came and went quickly. It was people from Linjia Village who treated the patient. They said that the soup had the aroma of dates.

The county magistrate even built a cat temple to wake up the world. It's all nonsense. Relying on cats to suppress the epidemic is a joke!

Lin Tiedan took the gift box from the car and walked towards Lin Daxiong's house. The old village chief was so angry that he stomped his feet when he saw Lin Tiedan leaving without mentioning the relocation of the grave. However, he did not dare to provoke this scoundrel again and walked back.

They probably don't know what they have done. That idiot is dead, and no one will remember him, Lin Tiedan was comforting himself.

As soon as he reached the door of Lin Daxiong's house, he met a man holding a bundle in both hands, and he happened to bump into Lin Tiedan.

Lin Wanxing realized that he had bumped into someone, so he quickly moved his bag away, saw the man at the door, and asked: Who are you looking for?

Lin Tiedan was stunned and took a few steps back. Isn't this the fool who should be dead? Although his appearance has changed drastically, he still recognized him at a glance. He rubbed his eyes hurriedly and stared at Lin Wanxing with red eyes.

Lin Wanxing had only seen this person in his dreams, and Lin Tiedan had not changed much at first. Seeing this person staring at him strangely, he felt that he was not a good person, and looked at him with a vigilant face.

At this time, Lin Ruhui also came over and asked: What's wrong with me, little sister?

Lin Wanxing panicked and wanted to hide her elder sister for some reason, but it was too late. The same eyes that were originally staring at her with fear fell on Lin Ruhui like a hungry wolf the moment they saw her elder sister.

At this time, Lin Tiedan seemed to have forgotten the existence of Lin Wanxing. He hurriedly stepped forward and greeted her with a smile: Sister Ruhui, don’t you remember me?

Long time no see, you're more beautiful now. You see, I bought a lot of gifts for you, he said as he wanted to put the gift box in his hand into Lin Ruhui's arms.

Lin Wanxing's face darkened instantly, her eyes blazing with anger. Damn it, he actually dared to tease her sister. She was fed up with living.

Lin Ruhui was frightened by the man's reckless behavior and quickly stepped back. Lin Wanxing threw the bag aside, stood in front of her elder sister, stared at the man and said: Who the hell are you? If you dare to get close to my sister again, I will beat you until you shit and piss yourself!

Ruhui, what's wrong with Xiao Axing? Why is he blocking the door?

Old Mrs. Lin also came out carrying her luggage. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she quickly put her things down, pulled her two granddaughters to stand back, and looked the visitor up and down.

The old lady has a sharp eye. Why does this person look so much like the dead Lin Laizi? No, this is the runaway Lin Tiedan!

The old lady's face turned dark instantly and she slapped him, "How dare you, you bastard, come to my house!"

With a loud bang, Lin Tiedan was hit and his head tilted, looking confused!

Everyone was stunned. Lin Wanxing's eyes immediately popped up at Old Lady Lin. "Grandma, you're so awesome! This slap really touched my heart!"
