Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

Er Yuehong, nicknamed Second Master, had two apprentices: Chen Pi Asi and Xie Yuhua.

He is ranked second among the nine gates, and belongs to the upper three gates.

On the surface, Second Master is the head of a theatrical troupe, leading them to travel all over the country, but in reality, he performs operas during the day and robs tombs at night.

They kept all their tomb-robbing tools in their trunks. Every member of the opera troupe had a background in martial arts, and some people said that their tomb-robbing was as smooth as flowing water and as agile as flying over rooftops.

"Mr. Su!"

The two had met before, and Su Chen's precious ginseng had even saved Er Yuehong's life.

Therefore, Er Yuehong treated Su Chen with exceptional courtesy.

"Is there something you need to discuss this matter?"

Er Yuehong inquired.

"I've only come to listen to Second Master's performance," Su Chen said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"It is my honor that Mr. Su would do me the honor of attending the ceremony."

Er Yuehong smiled and then looked at Yin Xinyue beside Su Chen, "May I ask who this is?"

"This is my wife, her surname is Yin, and her given name is Xinyue."

Su Chen introduced, "Xinyue, this is Second Master."

"Greetings, Second Master!"

"Hello, Mrs. Su!"

The two greeted each other.

“Mr. Su, it would be a bit unreasonable not to inform me of your wedding. We are friends, after all, and we both live in Changsha City, so we should keep in touch.”

Er Yuehong said.

"It happened in a hurry, and we didn't invite any friends; it was just a family gathering for a lively time," Su Chen explained.

Er Yuehong looked at the maid beside him and instructed, "Bring me my glass and gold hairpin."

A moment later, the maid brought over a dark-colored box.

Er Yuehong handed the box to Yin Xinyue, saying, "Consider this my wedding gift to you both."

This glass and gold hairpin is not a funerary object.

Instead, it was a family heirloom that Er Yuehong had bought from a certain place. He was delighted to see it and planned to give it to the girl.

But before it could be sent out, Su Chen intercepted it.

"Then thank you, Second Master!"

Su Chen smiled.

It wasn't a complete waste; this glass and gold hairpin is worth at least eight or nine hundred silver dollars.

Before long, the play began.

Second Master took to the stage to perform.

He sang the famous Huagu Opera song, "The Tale of Lulin".

The sound is melodious and natural, with a balance of strength and gentleness in its transitions.

As expected of a famous performer, Yin Xinyue listened with great interest.

The guests in the audience also praised it highly.

……

We listened to the Second Master's opera and tasted the local delicacies of Changsha City.

It wasn't until evening that Su Chen and Yin Xinyue returned to the Su family home together.

As night fell, Su Chen stopped a few hundred meters away from Sujia Village.

The Su family home was brightly lit at this time.

The guard team has already begun organizing night patrols.

At the entrance to Sujia Village, the high wall is already half-built.

Two large bunkers stand majestically at the entrance of the village, exuding an air of solemnity.

Inside the city, all was quiet and peaceful. Under the old locust tree, several elderly people sat together, smoking their pipes and chatting.

The children were playing and frolicking.

"Xiao Chen!"

Sixth Uncle led his patrol team up to Su Chen.

Behind him followed six strong young men, carrying guns and marching in unison.

"Sixth Uncle, are there any suitable candidates?"

Su Chen asked.

"We did pick two suitable people, but we didn't give them guns, only two goose-feather sabers," Uncle Liu said. "These two will start practicing saber techniques tomorrow."

"Let them do it first, then we'll get to know them better."

"They will be armed once everything is confirmed to be correct."

Guns are too dangerous, so Uncle Liu was right to be cautious.

"Where is the old clan chief?"

Su Chen asked.

"It should be near the ancestral hall."

Uncle Liu pointed out the direction.

Su Chen told Yin Xinyue to go back to her room first, and he went straight to the ancestral hall.

The old clan chief was offering incense to his ancestors.

They lit the eternal lamp and knelt before the ancestral tablets.

"Old patriarch!"

Su Chen walked in and handed the land purchase contract to the old patriarch.

"This...is this?"

By the light of the kerosene lamp, the old patriarch carefully examined the contract. "You bought land again? So much?"

"It's always a good idea to hoard more land!"

Su Chen smiled.

Where there is land, there is food; where there is food, there is everything.

In times of famine, food is the foundation of everything.

"That's true, but we're short-handed."

The old clan chief sighed, "We selected some long-term and short-term laborers from among the refugees, but we are still short of people."

"With so many disaster victims, you should be able to find enough. If all else fails, you can take some time to search in Changsha City."

Su Chen smiled.

The Su family now owns more than 2,000 mu of clan land.

Moreover, the yield of clan farmland is as high as 600%, with a very high probability of growing rare and precious herbs and many medicinal plants.

The ordinary deer-living grass cultivated by Hua Ling is growing well and seems to be about to transform.

"You don't need to push yourself so hard. Having a baby sooner is the most important thing."

The old patriarch patted Su Chen on the shoulder and once again reminded him, "Our ancestors are watching, and your parents are watching you too!"

Hundreds of memorial tablets stand tall on the high platform of the ancestral hall.

In the darkness, a wisp of blue smoke swirled around the ancestral hall.

"I'll be there as soon as possible!"

Su Chen verbally agreed.

……

That evening, Su Chen returned to her room.

Yin Xinyue changed into a silk nightgown, which sparked endless imagination.

"Honey, you should rest now!"

Yin Xinyue urged him on relentlessly.

Newlyweds, in the honeymoon phase.

Su Chen pounced on her and pinned Yin Xinyue down.

The night was dark and the wind was high; the bed creaked and groaned.

And so it continued until late into the night before finally stopping.

The next day, Su Chen slept until the morning before waking up.

Three poles in the sun!

Yin Xinyue was exhausted from all the fuss and pinched Su Chen's arm, saying, "Be gentler next time."

"Haha, don't worry, I'm the kind of person who knows how to pamper his wife the most."

Su Chen smiled and got out of bed.

Yin Xinyue also started washing up and changing her clothes.

Having been idle at home for several days, Su Chen plans to set off for the Insect Valley in Yunnan tomorrow.

"Mr. Su, you didn't get up early today, you slept in!"

As soon as Su Chen stepped out of the room, Hong Guniang started teasing him.

They're all adults now, so they naturally understand the meaning of sleeping in late.

"Go away, if you're so capable, try getting up later too."

Su Chen waved his hand.

Partridge Whistle had just finished practicing martial arts and was covered in sweat.

This intense, hormonal scent reached the girl's nostrils.

The girl blushed; she'd been having quite a few erotic dreams lately.

"Mr. Partridge Whistle, pack your bags, we're setting off tomorrow."

Su Chen said.

Where?

Partridge Whistle asked.

"Yunnan Insect Valley!"

Su Chen said, "Let's have Miss Hong come with us too."

The old foreigner definitely can't go; although his injuries have healed, he is still weak.

Hua Ling needs to take care of him, so she doesn't need to go for the time being.

Including the sixth brother, Heibei, Yin Xinyue and two or three younger members of the clan set off together for Yunnan.

These people are all highly skilled, and together they are enough.
