Burial

The person who helped the girl drive away the servants was naturally Jiang Beiran. When the system did not pop up the option, he often did this kind of thing when he saw injustice, but he never left his name.

The purpose is naturally to avoid subsequent triggering options as much as possible.

But just when Jiang Beiran was about to put down the silver and leave at a speed invisible to the naked eye, the system prompt suddenly popped up.

[Option 1: Quietly put down the silver and leave quickly. Completion reward: Jiuxiao You Jing (Low Grade Heaven Level)]

[Option 2: Stop taking care of this matter, completion reward: Lanxi Gu Record (earth level mid-grade)]

[Option 3: Give the silver to the girl in person and find a reason to leave. Completion reward: Lingxiao Demon Map (earth-level low-grade)]

[Option 4: Help the girl to the end, completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]

‘…’

'ha???'

The sudden appearance of the heaven-level option really confused Jiang Beiran.

'What's going on? I've met the female protagonist of the video. Will the world be destroyed if I don't help her? Or will she save my life when I'm in dire crisis?'

After a little interpretation, Jiang Beiran can see that the first three options of the system almost all express the same meaning.

That is, if I just help her, I will not be able to solve the problem at all, and unknown crises will soon arise.

Only by completely eliminating all her wishes or worries can she be considered as "helping to the end".

'That's outrageous...'

Before Jiang Beiran rescued her, he used his mental power to confirm that she had no cultivation at all and was an extremely ordinary ordinary person. He never imagined that such an ordinary person could trigger the heaven-level option, which was really outrageous.

But regardless of whether it was too far off or not, now that the system options were out, Jiang Beiran still chose four.

Putting away the money that he originally planned to put down, Jiang Beiran took a deep breath from a distance and walked to the girl.

Feeling that the light in front of her was blocked, the girl slowly raised her head, glanced at Jiangbei and said, "Do you want to buy me? I can do everything, including cleaning, raising children, and feeding cows. I'm very strong."

Glancing at the body behind the girl, Jiang Beiran asked, "How did your family members die?"

"Alas..." the girl let out a long sigh, "The village was hit by a plague a few days ago. When I came back from the city...my father, mother, brother and sister were all gone."

'Plague...' Jiang Beiran suddenly remembered the village he passed before that was covered with white cloth.

"May I have your name?"

"Summer bells."

"You're a poor man. Get up and I'll help you bury your family."

After hearing this, Xia Lingdang suddenly showed an excited smile: "Master, are you willing to buy me?"

"Yes, I bought it."

"Thank you, host!"

Xia Lingdang said that she was about to kowtow to Jiang Beiran, but Jiang Beiran held her shoulders down.

"Being my maid, you don't need to do these etiquettes. Get up and prepare to give your family the last bit of dignity."

"Thank you, master, thank you, master!"

Xia Lingdang stood up excitedly as she spoke, then turned around and saluted the five corpses: "Father, mother, we finally met a kind person, and we can be buried. We can be buried."

Since she was selling her body to bury her whole family, Xia Lingdang certainly hoped that her family would be buried with a little dignity, instead of just rolling up a mat and burying them in a random mass grave.

Since all Xia Lingdang's relatives also died in the plague, the funeral notice was waived.

Then with the help of Jiang Beiran, Xia Lingdang took off her homemade simple mourning clothes and put on mourning clothes and hat made of linen.

…

"The mourning hall is ready, come with me."

At night, Jiang Beiran, who had gone out to take care of everything, came back and said to Xia Lingdang.

"Thank you, host!"

After bowing to Jiang Beiran, Xia Lingdang followed Jiang Beiran into the small town.

After previous inquiries, Jiang Beiran found out that the place where Xia Lingdang lived was indeed the village covered with white cloth.

So after finding Xia Lingdang's home, Jiang Beiran found the Caotai team who did the white work and took care of everything.

Pushing open the door, Xia Lingdang found that her family members were already lying next to five fine coffins. In front of the coffins were all the spiritual tablets, spiritual flowers, everlasting lanterns, incense burners, tributes, etc.

It can be said that even if a rich man dies, the master will still have this standard.

"This...this..." Xia Lingdang was stunned for a while, then she looked at Jiang Beiran and bowed: "Thank you, master! I will definitely do my best to repay you in the future."

"Thank you later. You should do what you should do now."

"My master said, I will go right away."

Walking to the coffin in the middle, Xia Lingdang first completed a set of etiquette, then picked up the razor next to it and leaned down.

No matter where you are, the rules for burial are the same.

Before the deceased is placed in the coffin, the children must shave his head, shave his face, change his body, wash his body, wear a shroud, etc.

After carefully grooming her family's appearance, Xia Lingdang picked up pieces of paper money and covered their faces.

Because there is a saying that if you drop tears on the deceased, you will not see the deceased in your dreams in the future, so Xia Lingdang held back her tears throughout the process and finished it all with strength.

When Xia Lingdang covered the last piece of the coffin, Jiang Beiran looked at her and said, "How many days do you usually leave the coffin?"

"Seven days." Xia Lingdang replied.

"Okay, I still have my own things to do. I'll come back here to find you in seven days."

"Thank you, master, for your great kindness..."

But before Xia Lingdang could finish thanking her, Jiang Beiran had already disappeared from the door.

While walking on the way to Qi State, Jiang Beiran was still thinking about what had just happened.

The concept of "helping to the end" in option four is too vague. How can we count it as helping to the end? Does helping her bury her family count as the end? Or does it mean that she really needs to be placed in her own home, or even take her with her as a maid?

Help to the end?

If he just arranged a place for her to live, even if he helped her to the end, that would be fine, but just because she could trigger the heaven-level option, Jiang Beiran felt that things couldn't be that simple.

But if he really had to carry her with him all the time, Jiang Beiran would have a headache just thinking about it.

He was used to walking around alone, and now he was suddenly asked to bring a "tail" with him, and it was an uncultivated "tail". Wouldn't this cost him his life?

"well……"

Sighing, Jiang Beiran decided not to scare himself first, but to wait until Xia Lingdang's family members were buried before talking about anything else.

At dawn, Jiang Beiran arrived at the important border defense town in front of Shenmen Pass again.

After finding a teahouse and sitting down, Jiang Beiran was led by the waiter to the second floor.

[Option 1: Enter the Junzi private room. Completion reward: Tianxiao Fantasy Book (prefecture-level mid-grade)]

[Option 2: Enter the private room with the character "Yi". Completion reward: Strange Picture of the Fierce Tiger (prefecture-level low-grade)]

[Option 3: Enter the private room with animal husbandry characters. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]

'Okay, I'm familiar with this.'

Directly choosing three, Jiang Beiran said to the waiter: "Take me to the private room with the character "Mu".

"Okay, sir, please come this way."

Following the waiter all the way to the door of the private room with the character "Mu", Jiang Beiran heard the system prompt the moment he stepped in.

[Optional mission completed, reward: Physical fitness +1]

After sitting down, Jiang Beiran ordered a pot of jade tea. The waiter took note of it and immediately brought the tea over.

"Please take it easy, sir. I'll take my leave now. If you need anything, just say hello. I'll be here right away."

After saluting Jiang Beiran, the waiter respectfully closed the door and left.

Without rushing to get the tea cup, Jiang Beiran took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms and wrote a few lines on it, then folded it into a paper crane and let it fly out of the window.

After closing the window again, Jiang Beiran picked up the teapot and made himself a cup.

After smelling the tea, Jiang Beiran picked up the cup and took a sip.

Due to the weather and geography, the tea grown in each place has a different flavor, so no matter where he goes, Jiang Beiran likes to order some local specialty tea to drink.

What you drink is not the taste, but the freshness.

After drinking the first cup, Jiang Beiran took out a book and opened it. It recorded all his research on Feifu.

It's good to gain attribute points, but not having a safe house still makes Jiang Beiran feel uncomfortable, so flying to the mansion is still his ultimate dream at this stage.

After taking out a writing brush and writing on the book, Jiang Beiran heard a knock on the door.

'It came too soon.'
