Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"What's wrong, Wu Banxian?"

Wang Changgen hurriedly asked.

Wang Zhangtian also had a heavy expression.

Wu Banxian then spoke truthfully:

"The bones have all been eaten by white ants... Sigh, let's see if we can still pick up some scattered bone fragments..."

Wu Banxian reached in again to dig.

He dug for a good while, but didn't manage to dig out a single piece of bone.

In the end, he simply turned the entire Golden Urn upside down, dumping everything inside out in one go.

The result: besides yellow earth, what poured out were just some crushed white ant nests.

Truly, not even a speck of bone residue remained!

Wang Zhangtian and Wang Changgen looked, and both their complexions turned very ugly.

Especially Wang Changgen, he even involuntarily shouted out a sentence:

"Could it be that Heaven wants to destroy me, Wang Changgen?"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly asked Wu Banxian:

"Wu Banxian, what can be done about this?"

Wu Banxian's face was heavy, he said:

"Do you still have any relics of this ancestor? If so, we can use the relic to summon the soul, and then make a new grave mound!"

Wang Changgen smiled bitterly:

"How many years has it been? Where would there still be anything left behind by the old man?"

Then he looked at Wang Zhangtian, his gaze full of expectation:

"Brother, do you have any of our father's relics left?"

Wang Zhangtian frowned:

"I don't have any either. When I moved to the County Town to live, I didn't bring any of the old man's things with me!"

Hearing this, Wang Changgen's face showed despair.

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly comforted:

"Dad, don't worry, Wu Banxian definitely has other methods!"

Then he hurriedly asked Wu Banxian again:

"Wu Banxian, is that right?"

Wu Banxian said:

"Since there are no relics, it seems we can only do this: burn this nest of white ants, together with that yellow earth dumped from the Golden Urn, all into ash, then use that ash to summon the soul and bury!"

Wang Changgen asked worriedly:

"Wu Banxian, will there be any influence doing this?"

Wu Banxian said:

"As long as the soul can be summoned back, the influence won't be great!"

Wang Zhangtian then said:

"Then Wu Banxian, please hurry and act!"

Wu Banxian had Wang Erhai and Wang Yaohua help go nearby to pick up some dry firewood.

Then beside the grave, they built a firewood pile, burning a bonfire.

Then they stuffed the white ant nest and that yellow earth back into the Golden Urn.

Finally, they threw the entire Golden Urn into the fire pile to burn.

He actually didn't know if doing this conformed to the regulations.

To tell the truth, this was the first time he had encountered this kind of situation.

He's just a fortune-teller, not a very professional Geography Master.

The big fire burned for a full three hours, finally burning the white ant nest inside the Golden Urn together with the yellow earth into ashes.

After the Golden Urn cooled naturally, they poured out the ashes inside, and repacked them into a new Golden Urn.

Then the soul-summoning ritual began.

Wu Banxian chanted incantations, bowed to the ghosts and gods of the four directions, then danced and gestured wildly to summon the soul.

He summoned for a good while, then said to Wang Changgen and Wang Zhangtian:

"Your father's soul has been summoned back. This is truly fortunate. Thankfully his Three Souls and Seven Spirits were still lingering nearby, and had not dispersed!"

Hearing this, Wang Changgen was immediately overjoyed!

The heart he had been holding in suspense could finally be put down!

If the soul couldn't be summoned back, he reckoned he would believe Heaven wanted to kill him!

If that kind of thought really got etched into his Funeral Item, then even if Hua Tuo reincarnated and Bian Que was reborn, they couldn't save him!

"Summoned back is good, summoned back is good!"

Wang Changgen hurriedly knelt and kowtowed toward the Golden Urn:

"Father, your son is unfilial; I didn't even know white ants had entered your body. Please forgive your son!"

Seeing Wang Zhanggen kneel and apologize to their long-dead father, Wang Zhangtian also hurriedly followed suit and knelt to apologize.

He not only apologized himself, but also pulled Wang Yaohua down to kneel and apologize.

Wang Zhanggen also hurriedly urged Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua to quickly kneel and apologize to the grandfather they had never met.

After everyone had finished kneeling and apologizing, they lifted the Golden Urn and went to bury it at the new Feng Shui Treasure Land!

By the time the burial was finished, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Several people hadn't eaten all day; they descended the mountain dragging their exhausted bodies.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaohua had prepared some candy in his pocket and gave some to his father; otherwise, with his father's weak body, he might have fainted halfway.

Returned to the Hometown side of Shanggou Village.

Wang Zhanggen wolfed down some congee, and only then did his dazed expression ease a little.

However, today's work still wasn't over; tonight they still had to perform Transcendence for that Evil Ghost Zhou Aidi.

Zhao Lifen came and spoke to Wang Zhangtian and Wang Yaohua about the Blind Date matter, saying she and Li Xiulan had gone to see Li Yuncui and felt this woman Li Yuncui was pretty decent.

Wang Zhangtian didn't know about Li Yuncui's messy affairs, so he said:

"Why not bring Yaohua over to take a look in a bit?"

Zhao Lifen smiled and said:

"Good, this matter should be struck while the iron is hot; otherwise, coming back another time would be so troublesome!"

Wang Yaohua had no resistance to this; he was also anxious inside and wanted to find a partner quickly, so if there was a Blind Date prospect, he naturally would go take a look.

Thus the family of three reached Immediate Agreement and planned to go to Li Yuncui's house immediately.

But at this moment, learning of this, Wang Zhanggen hurriedly grabbed his eldest brother Wang Zhangtian:

"Big Brother, do you know what Li Yuncui's situation is?"

Wang Zhangtian was Stunned:

"What situation? Aren't they all kids from Shanggou Village?"

Wang Zhanggen then told it Honestly:

"Li Yuncui gave birth to a child before she was married!"

Zhao Lifen was Stunned:

"I didn't see her child at her house. Xiulan, you tell me what's going on? Why didn't you tell me about this before!"

Li Xiulan said:

"She did give birth to a child, but that child was sent away long ago. She hasn't married, so it still counts as a first Marriage!"

Wang Zhanggen asked:

"Didn't she go to Dongguan to work with Zhou Hongwei's Nephew before? Now she's run back alone; I reckon she fell out with Zhou Hongwei's nephew! I see this Li Yuncui as somewhat Unreliable!"

Wang Xiaohua watched all this, and couldn't help but Complain In Heart: his own birth father was sometimes truly Contradictory; before, when Li Yuncui was carrying a big belly, he didn't Dislike her and even Insisted on matching Wang Xiaohua with Li Yuncui, but now introducing a partner to Wang Yaohua, he Dislikes Li Yuncui here and there.

Don't know what his Funeral Item is thinking.

Li Xiulan said: "Young People dating isn't very normal? Yaohua didn't he date a Jiangxi one before? As long as they haven't married, everything's negotiable! Sister-in-law, you say am I right!"

Li Xiulan looked at Zhao Lifen, and Zhao Lifen also felt Li Xiulan's words had some Principle.

Your own kid isn't a Cleanly body either, so stop picking faults with Li Yuncui!

Finding a partner is too hard these days!

Being able to find one is already not bad!

How Could you still be picky!

So Zhao Lifen said:

"Exactly, as long as they haven't married, everything's negotiable!"

Then to Wang Yaohua she said:

"Yaohua, that Li Yuncui looks very striking, and she's very tall, probably nearly 1.7 meters, tall and thin, weight probably only around 100 jin, very beautiful! You go take a look; if you feel a click, we'll talk further; if not, we'll pretend this never happened!"

Hearing his mother say this, Wang Yaohua was also a bit moved.

Nearly 1.7 meters, and weight only around 100 jin — this woman's looks Absolutely won't be bad!

If she's really very beautiful, having had a child isn't impossible to Accept.

As long as she doesn't bring the child over for him to Raise!

So he said:

"Okay, then let's go take a look!"
