Chapter 214 Friendship at the end of the year!Nail key!
After half an hour of calming down, Lu Yingjie finally calmed down.
For example, he is nearly seventy years old and has long looked down on the world. He has seen the tragic death of his brother and son, and has no pursuit of life.
If it weren't for Ying'er, he might have found a place where no one was around and killed himself.
It was impossible to tell Lin Ran about Dingling.
It can only be said that everything is God's will, and Lin Ran is his destined person.
He was completely relieved. According to the regulations of the Southern Sect, he could not go to Dingling anymore, so he could only entrust Lin Ran to help him pay homage to his brother.
If possible, dig up your brother's bones and bury them nearby.
Of course, this cannot be forced. Even with the drawings, there is no guarantee that the tomb is absolutely safe.
Lin Ran naturally agreed. Lu Yingjie had given him a great opportunity, and in exchange for this request, it was definitely not too much!
After finishing the work, Lin Ran handed the nutritional supplements he bought to Lu Yingjie and explained: "Your granddaughter has not fully recovered yet, so she must drink the remaining medicine, and then give her milk, eggs, and supplements." The nutrients your body needs.”
"Definitely." Lu Yingjie already regarded Lin Ran as his old friend.
After being lonely all my life, I finally made a good friend in my later years.
Of course he would take Lin Ran's words to heart.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Ran stood up and prepared to leave.
Lu Yingjie also sent him to the door of the courtyard, and even said for the first time: "Fellow Daoist Lin, if you have nothing to do, you can come and sit at my house."
Lin Ran was a little surprised, looked back at Lu Yingjie, and smiled knowingly.
"Okay, I will definitely come see you when I have time."
However, he also remembered something and asked: "Brother Lu, your granddaughter should be old enough to attend elementary school, right?"
She was small and thin, and Lin Ran estimated that she should be about seven or eight years old.
Lu Yingjie sighed and said with an expression of embarrassment: "Fellow Daoist Lin, actually my family has never registered a household registration, so there is no way to send Ying'er to study."
"Not registered?" Lin Ran looked at his house. Did he build a house here privately?
However, considering the chaotic management of Xiping Village, it is normal for no one to care about him in such a remote corner.
"Yes, although I bought this land, it still costs a few yuan to apply for a household registration. It requires a trip to the city. I don't know how to deal with it, so I can't let Ying'er study."
Lu Yingjie expressed his difficulties.
If it's just money and finding someone, it couldn't be easier.
Lin Ran said to him seriously: "Brother Lu, I have to tell you something. You can't let your granddaughter follow your path. She should learn more scientific knowledge so that she can get out of poverty in the future."
"The era of Tufuzi is over. From now on, all cultural relics belong to the state, and tomb robbing is illegal."
Lin Ran was worried that Lu Yingjie would let his granddaughter continue to find her own path, learning Yin Yang and Five Elements, and digging graves everywhere.
It is a very pitiful thing to be an orphan since childhood.
Only by reading can you live a good life in the future.
Lu Yingjie looked at Lin Ran's determined eyes and nodded solemnly: "What Fellow Daoist Lin said is absolutely true!"
"As for the issues of household registration and schooling, I will find a way to help you solve it." Lin Ran said.
He is not bragging about this. If he only needs money to register an account, he can easily spend dozens of dollars.
If you need help from someone in the city, whether it is Yang Jianlong or Jiang Hua, as long as you know that people with such difficulties exist, with their chivalrous hearts and their friendship with you, helping is just a matter of words.
"Really?" Lu Yingjie was overjoyed.
"Of course, it's just that your granddaughter is not suitable for going out for activities during this period. She needs to take good care of her health first. We don't want to see how thin your granddaughter has become." Lin Ran said with some distress.
After all, a girl her age should live a carefree life.
As a result, I lived in darkness every day, and my family was poor and I had never eaten anything delicious.
There is no foundation, it is just a blank sheet of paper.
"I will." Lu Yingjie's originally despairing heart suddenly became filled with hope.
But he said with some discomfort: "But, even if we have a household registration, we can't afford the tuition."
"You don't have to worry about this. The country provides support for poor people, and they can't look at such a young girl without any books to read."
"You have closed your heart for too long, and you need to come out and see the world. We are no longer the backward country we were more than ten years ago. We have stood up in all aspects."
Although now, the support for education is not very strong.
But changes are also being made.
His granddaughter would not be unable to study. Even if she had no money, she could still be sent to school to study.
After Lu Yingjie thanked him repeatedly, Lin Ran waved to him and said goodbye.
I found a rickshaw at the entrance of the village and took a taxi back to Xialin Village.
Sitting in the car, he took out the keys in his hand and checked them.
The key in his hand is made of gold and iron. It is an iron key mixed with gold sand. Because it is mixed with gold, it is not easy to rust.
It looks like the overall shape has not changed except for some rust.
Unlike today's keys, its tail is open, like a ring.
The main part of the key is uneven, obviously carefully designed.
The most peculiar thing is that this key is designed in a curved shape.
When mausoleums were built in ancient times, in order to prevent the location of the mausoleum from being revealed, craftsmen were often buried together.
After going back and forth, the craftsmen also understood what would happen if they were dragged to repair the tomb, and they were naturally not happy.
Therefore, when building a mausoleum, several secret doors will be deliberately built.
However, these secret doors are for the guards to see. The guards will pretend not to know and wait until the tomb is completed to fill all the secret doors with soil.
Then close the door of the mausoleum and leave without worries.
The craftsmen are not stupid. The place where they really do their work is actually on the gate of the mausoleum.
Especially the emperor's mausoleum, there will be a gate that seals the passage to the tomb.
This door was made by the craftsmen themselves. When designing, they erected the natural stone used to support the door at a certain angle.
A crutch key will be made.
This kind of key is usually made of long steel bars, with the head folded into an N shape, and the tail is a ring that is easy to catch and push.
After the soldiers closed the tomb, they used a nail key to push the tapstone to escape.
Of course, what he held in his hand was not a real key, but a specific door key made in the shape of a modified key.
It was an entertaining design by the craftsmen, because it was impossible for soldiers to enter the mausoleum. They deliberately designed the key in this shape to tell those behind how to leave.
Therefore, Lin Ran was sure that what he had in his hand was the key to the Dingling Gate!
