Guan Yuxi picked up a handful of loess and threw it into the tomb.

A spadeful of soil slowly covered the coffin.

The blood-red flag the size of a plate was pressed firmly onto the coffin and quickly disappeared into the soil.

Guan Yuxi's heart trembled, her lips trembled, and she silently said "thank you" to Minister Zhao.

Minister Zhao shook his head and pointed at the white-haired old man in the distance.

Guan Yuxi bowed to him from a distance.

The old man waved his hands slightly and walked away hobblingly.

Guan Yuxi couldn't help but burst into tears again, but she couldn't cry anymore.

History is empty and time is stained with frost.

Grandpa, he sacrificed his life for his beloved cause.

I only hope that the white-haired old man with a bright head and poor scriptures can survive until the near dawn.

She knelt down devoutly and kowtowed three times to her grandfather.

Then kowtow three times to the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

May they bless all the lovely people in this vast country with long life and no illness or disaster.

Leng Lie helped Guan Yuxi go home.

He placed the portrait of Mr. Guan on the table and kowtowed three times respectfully.

Guan Yuxi stared blankly at the old man's photo.

A sense of absurdity arose in my heart.

The confusion in her eyes became deeper and deeper, "Tell me, why is this world like this?"

Others traveled through time, had a system and a golden finger, pretended to be cool, slapped people in the face and abused the scum, and made a fortune by being like the big shots.

And what about her?

Grandpa was the only relative, but he couldn't be saved!

"Grandpa sacrificed his life for the beliefs in his heart.

We should be happy for him."

Leng Lie hugged her tightly from behind and kissed her hair gently.

Are you happy?

Thinking of grandpa's eyes that refused to close completely.

Guan Yuxi felt a sense of bitterness spreading, and her heart was filled with panic.

"One day, the old man's medal will be dried in the sun and he will get the treatment he deserves."

Minister Zhao bowed solemnly.

Guan Yuxi looked at him with clear eyes, "Uncle Zhao, I have no interest in knowing the so-called secrets.

I just want to ask, can you keep what grandpa paid for with his life?"

Minister Zhao looked a little gloomy and nodded solemnly, "You can make any requests you have.

If I can satisfy you, I will try my best to satisfy you.

If I am not satisfied, I will report it to the superior..."

Grandpa was alive, but she failed to fulfill her filial piety.

Grandpa is dead, is she still trying to smear his reputation?

Guan Yuxi interrupted him, "I appreciate Uncle Zhao's kindness.

I'm living a good life and don't need anything."

Minister Zhao looked at her, then at Leng Lie, then said goodbye and left.

Day after day.

After the death of Mr. Guan, nothing seems to have changed in Lengjiagou Village.

It seems like everything has changed.

Leng Hongxing completely disappeared.

The old witch moved a stool and sat in the courtyard every day, scolding Bai Mei.

He said she was a hen that didn't lay eggs and that she had harmed her grandson.

Village Chief Leng lost his only son. Thinking of Mr. Guan's death, he searched furtively for a few days and then gave up.

Whenever he had free time, he would drag Bai Mei back into the house and work hard on his mother-in-law's belly, hoping that she would give him a son as soon as possible.

Guan Yuxi's life has also completely changed.

From that village girl who is not stained by dust, she becomes white and rich.

She became like the favored little daughter-in-law in the village, delivering water and food to Lenglie who went to the fields every day.

Occasionally, I would happily go to the ground to help him with some farm work.

Completely ignoring the cold helpless and protesting eyes.

Bai Qin visited Guan Yuxi a few more times.

But before he could reach her, he either sprained his foot, fell into the water, or was chased away by the dog.

On this day, a special group of guests came to Lengjiagou.

A military vehicle drove directly to Guan's door.

The little white dog walked around the car, then barked and ran away.

Even though Daheiwang was brave, he did not dare to get too close.

Guan Yuxi was cooking in the kitchen, and the smell of the meat was mouth-watering.

She heard the sound and came out.

"Uncle Zhao? Come in and sit down."

Guan Yuxi greeted Minister Zhao and others warmly.

Minister Zhao nodded slightly and let the tall and tall old man in white into the room.

He walked last.

The old man in white is wearing a blue-gray tunic suit. He looks reserved, but he has an extraordinary bearing.

He smiled kindly at Guan Yuxi and said, "Lao Guan often mentions you. You are very good, even better than what he described in his letters."

Guan Yuxi raised her eyebrows lightly and brought out the hot milk tea, pumpkin cake, etc.

"Food will be ready soon, please sit down first.

I’m a guest from afar, so I’ll wait until I’m full before talking about anything else.”

Her eyes wandered around the two unflappable followers, and she stepped out with a smile.

"Dahei, go call Brother Lie back and tell him that a distinguished guest has arrived."

Guan Yuxi moved quickly and put all the dishes and midnight snacks on the table.

An extraordinary old man in white clothes stood in front of the portrait of Mr. Guan.

Silently, I laid a stick of incense on the ground and saw two futons placed squarely in front of me. I was very pleased.

He caressed the portrait, unable to conceal his sadness and heartache.

He knelt down on one knee.

Minister Zhao and his entourage were all shocked.

It wasn't until most of the stick of incense was burned that he stood up and said to Minister Zhao:

"That girl is really smart."

Minister Zhao saluted him respectfully, "It is her honor to be praised by you."

The old man in white shook his head gently, smiling and saying nothing.

Leng Lie entered the house through the back door.

Guan Yuxi fetched water for him to wash his hands, "He is an old acquaintance of grandpa.

In a moment, you can have a drink with them."

Lenglie looked at her in surprise.

Guan Yuxi had already ordered him to call someone, "Go quickly."

She brought a small bowl of amber soup to the old man in white.
