Chapter 79 Sun Banxian is an invisible rich man

Sun Shan followed Su back home. Grandma and eldest sister were there. After greeting them, he asked, "Grandma, Grandpa Sun is gone. Why did he go?"

Grandma Huang sighed and said, "I don't know the exact reason. This afternoon, his nephew was going to send him some vegetables. He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. He thought he had gone out. But he saw that the door was locked from the inside, not from the outside. He thought it was strange and kept knocking, but still no one answered."

After a pause, he continued, "My nephew felt something was wrong, but he didn't dare to break the door and enter without permission, so he went home to call for help. When people came, they knocked on the door, but still no one answered, so they had to break in."

Huang looked outside the courtyard and whispered, "Everyone broke into the courtyard. It was neat and tidy inside, not a bit messy. Walking into the main room, it was also neat and tidy. She shouted loudly for Sun Banxian, but no one answered, so she had to break into the bedroom.

The bedroom was closed, but the door was not locked, so I entered quickly. When I got inside, Sun Banxian was dressed neatly, lying straight on the bed.

As she said this, Huang sighed again and said, "Someone brave enough went over to call for help, but Sun Banxian was motionless. The old man in the family reached out to feel his breath, and found that he was dead. He then touched his body, and it was stiff. Alas, your Grandpa Sun, he is gone just like that."

After Sun Shan heard this, he was very sad and puzzled. He asked doubtfully, "Is Grandpa Sun lying in bed by himself?"

Huang shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I heard from someone that I saw him walking in the village at noon and I even said hello to him. He was fine at that time, and there was nothing wrong. Who knew that he would be gone in the afternoon."

Aunt Su asked in confusion: "Mother-in-law, Uncle Sun, why are you sleeping in bed in the afternoon for no reason?"

Sun Shan knew what Su meant. Rural people did not have a lunch break or an afternoon break.

How could Sun Banxian lie in bed, sleep, and then die in bed?

Guyu heard the conversation between Grandma and Mother and was a little scared. He clung to Sun Shan, holding his shoulders with both hands, and asked fearfully, "Grandma, Mother, could someone have murdered us?"

The death was so strange. He was fine during the day, but died in the afternoon, and he died in bed.

Huang shook her head and said, "It shouldn't happen. If an outsider came into our village, everyone would know about it. Your grandpa Sun lives in a place that is not remote. There are people all around. If he wants to murder someone, he won't choose his home. Besides, the crime has to be committed at night. If it's in broad daylight, he will definitely be seen."

Huang never thought that the villagers would murder Sun Banxian.

According to the witnesses, there were no signs of other people at the scene. The yard, the main room, and the bedroom were all clean, with no signs of anything being turned over. With the village chief as a witness, the house was searched, and the silver and copper coins were all there, and nothing had been stolen. "

Su asked curiously, "Mother, how much silver did the village chief find?" It has been rumored that Sun Banxian is a potential wealthy man in the village with a rich family background.

Huang looked around and saw no one coming in. She whispered, "I heard it was 50 taels!"

When Sun Shan heard this number, he was also shocked. He never thought that fortune-telling could make so much money.

In Sunjia Village, few households have this amount of savings.

Su said in amazement: "I never thought that Uncle Sun is so rich. You can't tell at ordinary times."

Sun Banxian lived a simple life. He lived in a three-room yellow mud house with a small courtyard surrounded by yellow mud bricks. He wore the same few clothes over and over again, which were covered with shabby patches.

As for the food, it's a little better.

Firstly, when people asked him to tell their fortunes, they would always bring some candy, meat, etc. Secondly, he would occasionally go to the pork seller next door to buy pork.

As for luxury alcohol, he never drinks a drop of it, and only drinks the homemade mountain tea given by the villagers.

From the outside, you really can't tell that he is that rich.

Su felt her pocket. She and Sun Boming had saved for so long but had only managed to save 50 taels. This was achieved through the two of them living frugally and saving slowly.

He secretly glanced at his mother-in-law, Huang, and thought to himself that his mother should have more money than Sun Banxian.

Sun Shan asked, "Grandma, mother, why don't we ask the coroner to take a look and see how Grandpa Sun died?"

Huang shook her head and said, "Silly child, why would you ask for a coroner? The elders in the village said that Sun Banxian revealed too many secrets when he was fortune-telling and feng shui, and he suffered backlash, so he died young."

It’s not that he died young. He was already 51, so it’s not surprising that he died.

The villagers felt that his death was sudden and strange.

After all, he had always been in good health, without any illness or pain, and full of energy. Who would have known that he would be gone in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yu asked curiously, "Mother, I think Grandpa Sun knew that his time was almost up, so he cleaned the yard and house so cleanly and lay on the bed waiting to die."

Huang and Su agreed with this statement, otherwise how could he die so strangely? It is said that he was lying straight on the bed with his hands crossed on his stomach.

Sun Banxian is a man of great Taoist attainments, so it is not surprising that he knows the date of his own death.

Sun Shan thought that Sun Banxian might have had a heart attack or died suddenly. After all, these two diseases were said to cause death very quickly.

After the four of them discussed for a few sentences,

Su sighed and said, "Oh, I never thought Uncle Sun would pass away like this. It was he who named our mountain."

When it comes to this, Sun Shan is speechless. He just thinks that Sun Banxian named the name too casually and made it up.

Sun Boming and Huang also believe whatever others say.

Huang nodded and said, "Now I will go with you, the second and third sons' families to help."

Sun Boming and Second Uncle Sun are not here, so Third Uncle Sun will be asked to keep vigil at night.

Huang said to Sun Shan seriously, "Shanzi, you better stay at home and don't walk around or look around out of curiosity."

The grandson has a weak destiny, so he should avoid such funerals to avoid being affected.

Sun Shan said clearly, "Grandma, I understand. I will go do my homework."

Huang took Su out to find Second Aunt Sun and Third Aunt Sun to go to Sun Banxian to see if there was anything they could do to help.

Before leaving, he told Guyu to look after the house and not to go out until Lixia and the others came back.

Guyu agreed, "Grandma, mother, I understand. I will take good care of my brothers and sisters."

Sun Shan picked up his pen and ink and finished the homework assigned by Master Zheng first. However, he felt very sad in his heart. He never expected that Sun Banxian, who had a connection with him, was gone like this, and so suddenly and without a sound.

Sun Shan felt a little sad. Some people came and some people went, in all shapes and sizes. Perhaps this was life.

I also thought of my grandma Huang, who is already in her 50s. In this day and age, people are rarely seen alive at the age of 60. I wondered if my grandma would suddenly pass away quietly one day like this?

Thinking of this, I suddenly shook my head and said to myself: No, grandma will definitely live a hundred years.

Sun Shan took a deep breath, exhaled, and shook his head to stop himself from thinking too much.

Holding the brush, he wrote each word heavily, stroke by stroke.

Study hard, make progress every day, and strive to pass the exam to become a scholar. Whether for yourself or for your family, you must be an action-oriented person who does your best.
