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.
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.'
Jiang Beiran nodded, closed the book and answered the door.
"come in."
Then there was only a "squeak" sound, and a figure got in at an extremely fast speed and closed the door instantly.
"Senior brother!" Lin Yuyan shouted with excitement.
The so-called absence of one day is like three autumns. Lin Yuyan's longing for her senior brother has already reached its peak. If Jiang Beiran never comes again, she may not be able to control the "missing" in her heart.
"How are things going?" Jiang Beiran asked straight to the point.
"Senior brother, I have already arranged everything and am waiting for you to come and accept it."
"Well done." Jiang Beiran nodded with satisfaction. He looked at Lin Yuyan and said, "Did you wear the jade I gave you?"
When Lin Yuyan heard this, she almost went straight to the sky.
'Senior brother, as soon as he saw me, he cared about whether I was wearing the token of love he gave me. This is such a passionate love! Senior brother... Yuyan has indeed received your love.'
After feeling ecstatic for a while, Lin Yuyan pulled the Hongjun jade hanging around her neck out of her clothes.
'hiss……'
When he first saw the Honghu Jade, Jiang Beiran felt that something was wrong with the jade. It was white and black, and the aura of righteousness it exuded was not so pure.
'The evil spirit in Lin Yuyan's body is so powerful...'
Seeing her senior brother staring closely at her personal belongings, Lin Yuyan had already made eighteen postures in her mind, and her body could not help but twist.
Jiang Beiran's original purpose of giving Honghu Jade to Lin Yuyan was to suppress the evil spirit of care in her body so that it would not dare to show up easily.
However, judging from the current situation, Honghuyu was counter-pressured by the evil spirit in Lin Yuyan's body.
'It's just that I underestimated the foreign things.'
Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Beiran stood up and said, "Let's go, take me to have a look."
"yes!"
Under the leadership of Lin Yuyan, Jiang Beiran passed the investigation as easily as last time, passed through Shenmen Pass and arrived in Qi State.
Then they got on the shuttle prepared by Lin Yuyan, and the two of them came to a small town together.
"Brother, this is it." After jumping off the shuttle, Lin Yuyan pointed at a huge mansion behind him and said.
Jiang Beiran scanned it with his mental power and praised: "Very good, you really lived up to my expectations."
When he was about to leave for the Shi family last time, Jiang Beiran not only gave Lin Yuyan the Honghu Jade, but also gave her a task. The task content was to help her find a place with strong spiritual energy in the Qi Kingdom.
Because Jiang Beiran had thought that he would definitely come to the Six Nations frequently in the future, so it was particularly important to establish a base.
A general base area would naturally not be of any use, so what Jiang Beiran needed was a place where he could establish a self-confidence.
Since he was still unclear about the Shi family's attitude towards him at the time, he decided to set up his base in Qi State first and let Lin Yuyan, a local snake, help manage the situation.
As expected, the local big family is the local big family. This mansion contains full of spiritual energy, and there is more than one spiritual energy spring. I believe that even in Xuanzong's eyes, it is a good place for cultivation.
I don’t know how Lin Yuyan got it.
"Brother, are you satisfied with this? If not, I have prepared two other places for you to choose from." Lin Yuyan asked cautiously.
'The local snake is awesome...'
Hearing that Lin Yuyan had made third-hand preparations, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but feel that even in a fantasy world, background and relationships are still the most useful things.
Thinking that it would be a waste if he didn't see anything, Jiang Beiran followed Lin Yuyan to two other places to have a look.
In the end, Jiang Beiran felt that the third place met his requirements in terms of location and spiritual energy concentration, so Dang even decided to use this place as his "outpost" of the Six Nations in the future.
After touring the entire house, Jiang Beiran sat on the dragon-backed chair in the hall and said to Lin Yuyan: "Take off your piece of jade and show it to me."
Lin Yuyan couldn't help but her heart beat faster when she heard this.
'Senior brother, you are so bad... You asked me for personal items so blatantly, but why don't you be more bold, senior brother... If you want to see it, you can just put your hand in and touch it.'
After another bout of trembling, Lin Yuyan took off the Honghu jade hanging around her neck and handed it to Jiang Beiran.
And just when Jiang Beiran took the Honghu jade, there was a "cang clang" sound, and the white mist sword from Lin Yuyan's waist flew out, entangled Jiang Beiran and rubbed it again and again, expressing a feeling of grievance at the same time.
Touching the White Mist Sword, Jiang Beiran was a little surprised as to why it suddenly acted coquettishly, and even more curious as to why it only came to act coquettishly at the moment when Lin Yuyan took off the Honghu Jade.
This doesn't look like a coincidence.
"Xiao'er, I know you also miss your senior brother, but isn't it a bit unruly to run out of the scabbard without permission?"
Bai Wujian let out a "whimper" after hearing this, and then reluctantly returned to the scabbard on Lin Yuyan's waist.
After watching this scene, Jiang Beiran nodded and praised: "It seems that you have tamed it."
"No, it's just that our relationship has become closer, right, Xiao'er?"
After a while, the White Mist Sword made a sword cry, which was regarded as a response to these words.
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly after reading this, thinking that Lin Yuyan did have some abilities, and actually subdued a weapon spirit that was far more powerful than her.
