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

"Mr. Su, I have heard of dragon's lair in the world. May I ask if it is possible to visit it within ten days?"

"I asked curiously," said Master Lu.

"Hahaha, three years to find the dragon vein and ten years to pinpoint the burial site! Dragon veins aren't that easy to find!" Su Chen laughed. "Besides, most dragon veins already have owners. If we bury people there, it might not benefit future generations!"

"Moreover, great wealth and high status do not necessarily guarantee a good life!"

Throughout history, countless heroes have met tragic ends!

“This place can ensure the prosperity of the Lu family for at least three or four generations. After three or four generations, we can look for a better burial site,” Su Chen said.

"Auspicious feng shui locations are not static!"

"It may be a treasure land now, but in a few decades, due to various reasons, the water veins may change course, the mountains may collapse... or mudslides and landslides may occur!"

"The earth's veins have been affected, and it's still unknown whether a once auspicious site will become an inauspicious one!"

"But I can guarantee that the Lu family will prosper for generations to come within the next hundred years!"

"A hundred years from now, let's find another master. Then we can move the grave again!"

This is the promise Su Chen made!

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Su!"

As Master Lu looked at this precious land, he grew happier and happier.

“These fifty acres of land around here belong to our Su family. Master Lu can buy them all, and then the people of Su Family Village will begin to build the mausoleum!”

Su Chen said.

"What is the price?"

"Master Lu asked."

"Fifty silver dollars per mu!" Su Chen said.

"So expensive?"

Master Lu was greatly surprised!

Even the best paddy fields in Changsha City cost only a little over thirty silver dollars per mu.

This is just mountainous land, yet it's more expensive than paddy fields!

"Haha, Mr. Lu, don't worry, I won't set a price arbitrarily!" Su Chen laughed. "The clan fields in Su Family Village are much better than ordinary fields, and the crops planted there will yield a bumper harvest!"

This place is blessed with beautiful scenery and natural beauty; selling it for fifty silver dollars is already very cheap!

"Then let's do it this way!"

Mr. Lu did not dwell on this matter.

We've already spent 100,000 silver dollars, so this little bit won't make a difference.

……

That afternoon, Su Chen instructed Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle to begin designing the mechanisms inside the tomb.

One of these two was the leader of the Unloading Ridge Sect, and the other was the leader of the Moving Mountain Sect. They had visited countless tombs.

The design drawings were completed in just one afternoon.

The mechanisms in the tomb are very complicated!

To build it, you'll need at least 30,000 dollars.

After all, Mr. Lu spent 100,000 silver dollars to handle this matter, so he had to make people feel that the money was well spent.

"I've calculated it, Chief Su. It will only cost 40,000 silver dollars to build the mausoleum!"

Chen Yulou said, "Even in ancient times, the scale of this tomb would be at the level of a king, marquis, general, or minister!"

Su Chen nodded. "The deposit from Master Lu has reached 30,000 silver dollars. Construction will begin tomorrow! Get the mausoleum built as soon as possible."

This job can earn me 60,000 silver dollars, and there's hardly any danger!

For Su Chen, this was the easiest time yet.

……

On an open space a few kilometers away from Sujia Village, the foundation work has already begun.

Hundreds of temporary workers were huffing and puffing as they dug the foundation.

After the foundation is dug, it needs to be filled with stones.

Once the foundation is dug, you can start piling up the soil.

At that time, most houses were made of earth and wood.

The cost of building a house with blue bricks and stone was too high for these farmhands to afford.

After Su Chen proposed this idea, the old patriarch immediately began to implement it.

Of the more than 1,300 farmhands in Sujia Village, more than 1,100 came to greet them.

These refugees used to think about getting enough to eat the most, but now eating is no longer a problem for them.

Working for the Su family meant receiving meals and wages every day.

After a satisfying meal, the next things to consider are where to stay and finding a wife.

There are many young women among the refugees; in years of great disaster, a few pounds of rice might be enough to exchange for a young, unmarried woman.

Having a wife meant he could no longer live in that remote, drafty, and leaky shack.

But they don't have the money to build a house.

Fortunately, the people of Sujia Village took the initiative to help them build houses, deducting only 20% of their wages each month. They were incredibly kind!

For a moment, everyone was in high spirits.

Among the refugees, songs of praise for Su Chen's merits began to be sung.

As for Su Chen, the protagonist, he naturally couldn't hear these words.

Early this morning, Su Chen led a group of people out of the village and headed straight for Changsha City, where they took a train.

The destination we are going to is Guixu in the South China Sea.

Those accompanying him included Partridge Whistle, Chen Yulou, Black-backed Old Six, Red Girl, Yi Xiao, Old Foreigner, Su Yitian, and Su Hu.

This has become Su Chen's standard practice.

Partridge Whistle, Black-backed Sixth Brother, and Chen Yulou are all very strong fighters, and they provide support from the sidelines.

Su Chen is the main attacker!

As for Hong Guniang, Yi Xiao and Lao Yangren also provided logistical support.

Su Yitian and Su Yihu were just doing odd jobs!

After a two-day, two-night train journey, the group arrived in Guilin.

The mountains slope low, and there are hills everywhere.

Even in winter, it doesn't feel cold here.

The sun was shining brightly, and everyone changed into lighter clothes.

Hong Guniang picked up a handkerchief and helped Partridge Whistle wipe his sweat while he was punting the bamboo raft!

"Red Girl, your relationship with Partridge Whistle is progressing so quickly?" Su Chen teased. "Didn't you say you wouldn't get married?"

"Haha, Mr. Su, you're just jealous!" Miss Hong said shyly.

At the time, she did indeed try to stop Su Chen from being paired up with another man.

She still had the same idea in her heart, but she was just being stubborn.

In the end, she still married Partridge Whistle.

After their marriage, the two became increasingly familiar with each other and grew especially close.

"Why don't you ask Miss Yi Xiao to wipe your sweat?" Miss Hong said.

"No need, I'm not weak, I don't sweat that much!" Su Chen wasn't fooled.

Partridge Whistle has indeed been a bit weak lately!

Newlyweds are often in the midst of their blissful honeymoon and may not be very restrained.

The bamboo raft glides along as people drink, with lush trees lining both banks.

The stunning scenery eased the fatigue of the long journey for everyone.

According to Su Chen's plan, the goal of this trip was to first go to Ningnan City, the provincial capital of Guidi.

Then, from Ningnan Railway Station, we went to the seaside and took a ship to Hainan Province.

After arriving in Hainan Province, we took a fishing boat to the location of Guixu in the South China Sea.

The group had already left Ningnan City and, after enjoying the scenery, headed to the port.

Ningnan City is an inland city with no access to the sea.

Therefore, Su Chen and his group headed to Jiang Town in Fangchenggang.

There is a ferry crossing here.

The people from Guidi speak with a very heavy accent, which is quite interesting, as Ding Youding doesn't understand it and Xie Youxie doesn't know how to speak.

Compared to Hainan Province, Guangxi Province has more abundant supplies.

Therefore, Su Chen and his group replenished their supplies in Guidi.

Guilin's feng shui is the best in the world!

Having completed the mission of returning to the South China Sea, I can spend a few days sightseeing in Guilin.

"When I get old, I'll come and live here!"

Hong Guniang sighed, "I live by the river, enjoying the scenery every day, making a living by fishing, and growing some vegetables!"

"Boss, if you're not married by then, you can live next door to us!"
