The mountain I contracted can connect the past and the present

Chapter 39 Lan Ci gave Yun Xinyue a suggestion

When Old Man Sun heard this, his expression changed immediately, and he looked a little terrified and apologetic, "I, I, I..."

He wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

Young Master Lan was right. If the villagers knew that someone had died in Lanshan, and that it was an old man like him, they would definitely suspect Miss Yun.

That would bring a lot of trouble and danger to Miss Yun.

Lan Ci himself is very indifferent to outsiders. He only cares about the people around him. This time he advised Old Man Sun entirely for Yun Xinyue's sake.

Seeing this, he continued, “Grandpa Sun, think about it again. Miss Yun was originally a person, and this is the only place she has left. But you want to commit suicide in her last place. How can you let her stay here in the future?”

His tone became more serious. "Do you want Miss Yun to lose her last home and wander around?"

After hearing this, Old Man Sun no longer dared to commit suicide on Lanshan Mountain. One of the things he feared most was causing trouble for Miss Yun.

If it was really because of him that Miss Yun lost her place to live and had to wander around, he would wish he could turn to ashes.

"But, but..."

If he stayed with Miss Yun, not only would he be of no use, but he would also waste a lot of food and make Miss Yun a laughing stock among the villagers.

Lan Ci could understand his psychology. In his hometown, there were many people like Grandpa Sun. They had lived at the bottom of society since childhood. When facing people who had higher status and lived better lives than themselves, they always had a natural sense of inferiority and awe.

In addition, Grandpa Sun wanted to die, so he didn't want to trouble Miss Yun too much or add to her burden. He wanted to die alone in a place where no one knew him, so that he wouldn't trouble anyone anymore.

"Grandpa Sun, I suggest you stay for a while."

He gave his advice, "If you do this again, Miss Yun will definitely look for you everywhere like she did this time."

"To put it bluntly, if something happens to Miss Yun, will you be able to rest assured?"

Old Man Sun was completely speechless. If anything happened to Miss Yun because of him, he would never be at peace even when he died.

Seeing this, Lan Ci gave Xing Huai a look.

Xing Huai understood what he meant, picked up Old Man Sun and walked towards the stilt house, "Grandpa Sun, if you ask me, you shouldn't think so much."

"Don't always think that Miss Yun will dislike you. If Miss Yun disliked you, she wouldn't be so nice to you and wouldn't buy you so many good things."

Old man Sun burst into tears after hearing this. He knew that Miss Yun was truly kind to him.

But it is precisely because of this that he cannot just stay here and eat and drink for free.

Yun Xinyue, who was standing by, trotted over and said warmly, "Grandpa Sun, just live in my house. I will support you."

If she was nice to Grandpa Sun in order to complete the task at the beginning, now she is a little sincere.

Perhaps, as a person without any relatives, she can understand Grandpa Sun’s pain and feelings too well.

Grandpa Sun just cried and couldn't utter a word.

"Miss Yun, let's talk over here and let Xinghuai send Grandpa Sun back." Lan Ci made a gesture of invitation to Yun Xinyue, motioning her to talk over the side.

Yun Xinyue was worried, so she gave Xing Huai a few instructions before following Lan Ci to the side to talk.

In the mountains with towering trees and shady green trees, you can't feel much heat, but instead there is a slight coolness.

From time to time, you can hear the cheerful calls of birds, or small animals running through the grass, and sometimes you can hear groups of butterflies dancing on the wild flowers.

Yun Xinyue did not feel the slightest bit of appreciation for these originally beautiful scenes; she even felt a little annoyed.

"What does Master Lan want to tell me?" She rubbed her brows, trying her best to calm her inner restlessness.

Lan Ci knew why she was upset just by looking at her expression.

He said in a gentle tone, "Miss Yun, have you ever thought about finding a job for Grandpa Sun?"

Yun Xinyue suddenly raised her head and looked at him, with surprise and confusion on her face, "What do you mean, Master Lan?"

She added, "I never thought of asking Grandpa Sun to do anything. What I wanted was for him to go around the village every day and chat with the villagers more."

She is not Grandet, who would think about how to exploit someone all day long. Besides, Grandpa Sun is already old and it is time for him to enjoy his retirement.

After listening to this, Lan Ci suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Lan, what are you laughing at?" Yun Xinyue couldn't understand what he was laughing at and looked at him in confusion.

Lan Ci covered his lips and coughed twice to suppress the laughter in his throat. "I'm not making fun of Miss Yun. I just find it amazing that Miss Yun would help a useless person without asking for anything in return."

Yun Xinyue shook her head slowly and said in a calm voice, "It's not that I don't have any reward, but my reward is invisible to you."

She only needs to complete the tasks issued by the system, and she will be rewarded generously.

Lan Ci didn't seem surprised at all, and her expression didn't change at all. "Miss Yun, I'm not talking about such a reward. I'm talking about you using your own advantages to squeeze the value out of Grandpa Sun."

"If it were someone else, they would try to squeeze out all the value of a person, just like those people Grandpa Sun had met before."

When he said this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He had met many people like this.

Now, Yun Xinyue understood what he meant and said in a daze, "I haven't thought about this."

"Besides, why would I do such a hateful thing when I can already get paid?"

Lan Ci did not continue the topic, but brought it back to the topic, "Let me ask you a question that may be presumptuous."

Yun Xinyue gestured for him to ask.

Lan Ci paused for a moment before tentatively asking, "Miss Yun, don't you have any older relatives? For example, someone as old as Grandpa Sun."

Yun Xinyue didn't mind his question and answered very frankly, "Yes, I don't have any older elders."

Her grandparents died of illness in their early years, and later her parents died in a car accident, leaving her alone.

As for her parents' relatives, after her parents passed away, they tried to seize her property or take advantage of her, so she cut off all ties with them.

We haven't been in touch for a long time.

Lan Ci felt relieved when he saw her calm expression. It was best that Miss Yun didn't mind.

If Miss Yun minds, he will be in trouble, after all, he relies on Miss Yun to treat his illness and maintain his health.

"Miss Yun has no older relatives, so she can't understand Grandpa Sun's thoughts."

After a pause, he smiled helplessly, "Miss Yun, let me make it clear first, these are what I heard from the servants, not my own experiences."
