Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Dashan went into the house to rummage through boxes and cabinets, found a high school uniform, put on the old uniform, and then set off with his father Wang Zhanggen.

The two arrived at Wang Zhangtian's old house, where the old man's remains had been brought back for temporary storage. Wang Zhangtian, Wang Yaohua, and the Geography Master had been waiting here for some time.

Li Xiulan did not come along, as grave relocations generally do not require women to attend, and she also needed to prepare dinner at home for everyone to eat at her house when they returned in the evening.

"Uncle, Cousin."

Wang Dashan greeted Wang Zhangtian and Wang Yaohua.

He then quickly took out cigarettes, handed them over, and also gave one to the Geography Master.

"Dashan, you're doing well, smoking Hard Zhonghua now."

Wang Yaohua praised him with a smile.

Wang Dashan smiled humbly:

"It's nothing, just making a living. I usually can't bear to smoke these; a customer gave them to me. I heard you found a partner?"

"Yes, I found one." Wang Yaohua laughed, looking smug.

"When are you getting married?"

"At the latest next year, it should be soon. I've already met her parents."

"That's great."

"What about you? When are you getting married?" Wang Yaohua asked back.

"I'm not sure." Wang Dashan replied, and it was the truth.

Du Xiaojuan said they would go to her house together at the end of the year, but no one knew her family's situation or what requirements they might have.

Most importantly, Du Xiaojuan didn't seem very enthusiastic about marriage. Since she last mentioned needing a prenuptial property notarization, she had never brought up marriage again.

"You've been dating for so long, you need to get married quickly. Once that impulsive phase passes, it will be difficult later."

Wang Yaohua kindly reminded him.

Previously, because Wang Yaohua joined Shanhai Real Estate and caused a big problem, the relationship between the two cousins wasn't good. However, this matter had long passed, and although they still had misgivings, they were polite on the surface and tacitly pretended the past conflicts never happened.

After all, today was an important day for relocating their grandfather's grave, and they couldn't argue in front of the elders.

Everyone had grown up and was much more mature than before.

Of course, returning to that kind of brotherly relationship from before was now impossible.

While Wang Dashan and Wang Yaohua were chatting, Wang Zhangtian and Wang Zhanggen had already prepared the materials for departure.

Under the Geography Master's guidance, everyone first burned incense, paid respects to the old man's Golden Urn, paid respects to the gods of the four directions, and then set off.

The Golden Urn was carried by Wang Dashan and Wang Yaohua, while Wang Zhangtian and Wang Zhanggen escorted them, one in front and one behind.

The Geography Master "chanted the wild" all the way and burned firecrackers all the way.

"Chanting the wild" is similar to chanting incantations but also different from them, being more like a catchy rhyme with fixed patterns and easy to understand.

For example, chanting from "one" to "ten":

One: Please rest assured and set off, smooth sailing all the way.

Two: Seek no lingering resentment, do not blame your children.

Three: Hope to bless your children with smooth sailing...

Chanting from one to ten like this, with no repetition in any line.

The experienced Geography Master could chant the wild all the way without repeating anything.

For this grave relocation, the new grave site had long been chosen, and the grave pit had been dug in advance. However, the bones could not be carried directly to the new grave site; they had to go to the old grave site first to hold a farewell ceremony, then set off for the new grave site.

The road to the new grave site was also very particular, calculated by the Geography Master according to the "Funeral Classic." Which direction to take, how many uphill roads, how many downhill roads, whether to cross water surfaces, and so on, all had their particularities.

It can only be said that the Geography Master hired this time really had some expertise.

This Geography Master was hired by Wang Zhanggen, costing several thousand yuan.

Previously, the Wang family had relocated the old man's grave twice, but the Geography Masters hired for a few hundred yuan back then did not have as many particularities as this one.

Although this Geography Master had so many particularities and rules, making things a bit complicated, both Wang Zhangtian and Wang Zhanggen were very satisfied.

Because in the eyes of the two brothers, this was what professionalism meant.

Those before were just perfunctory.

The new grave site found by this Geography Master for them claimed it could bless both brothers' families with wealth and honor, and be impartial, treating the two brothers equally.

The Geography Master also said that the previous lands were "partiality lands," not that they were bad, but that burying the old man's bones on a partiality land would only bless one side, not the other, and would show favoritism. Favoritism would cause the two brothers to be at odds and easily produce conflicts.

Wang Zhanggen and Wang Zhangtian both believed the Geography Master's words.

Although the two brothers had not completely fallen out, many unpleasant things had happened between them.

Especially when Wang Yaohua went to work at Shanhai Real Estate, eventually causing Shanhai Real Estate to nearly go bankrupt, and Wang Yaohua was imprisoned for a period because of it.

At that time, the two brothers Wang Zhangtian and Wang Zhanggen were just one step away from turning against each other.

And all of this, the two brothers tacitly attributed to problems with feng shui.

Now spending a lot of money to hire a reliable Geography Master, burying the old man's bones on a new grave site that treated both equally, similar conflicts would not happen again in the future.

The Geography Master's expertise and particularities satisfied Wang Zhangtian and Wang Zhanggen, but it was hard on Wang Yaohua and Wang Dashan, the two cousins.

They had to carry the Golden Urn, winding along the mountain roads, taking detours. Although the straight-line distance was only one mountain away, they had to take a roundabout route over several mountains, and some roads were rarely traveled, overgrown with thorns and vines.

Although the two brothers felt bitter inside and their shoulders were rubbed raw from carrying the Golden Urn, they could only grit their teeth and persist, not daring to say anything.

After all, the Geography Master was an authority on feng shui, while the two of them knew nothing about feng shui.

After circling the Mountain for nearly three hours, they finally arrived at the New Grave Site where the burial was to take place.

The Geography Master said this Grave was a Feng Shui Treasure Land seen once in a hundred years.

He also said that as long as the old man's bones were buried here, the Wang Family would rise to great heights.

Wang Dashan felt this Geography Master had too many tricks and too many rules, seeming a bit like he was making a mystery of things, so he couldn't help but ask him one sentence:

"Old sir, if the Feng Shui here is really so good, why has no one come to bury their dead here all this time?"

Facing Wang Dashan's questioning, the Geography Master was not angry, only laughing as he explained:

"Good Feng Shui is not something just anyone can be buried in; strong wind and water can also drown people. If someone else's ancestors were buried here and could not suppress this place's Feng Shui, it could even lead to their line dying out. But your Wang Family is different."

Saying this, the Geography Master looked at Wang Zhanggen:

"Wasn't your Youngest Brother admitted to Tsinghua University? I have looked at his eight characters; he has an Official Appearance, and will surely become a great person in the future. As long as he remains in your Wang Family, he can suppress this place's Feng Shui, protecting your Wang Family with good weather and great wealth and honor. But if he is no longer in your Wang Family, then you must hurry and move this grave to another place..."
