"Are you sure you want to make this?"

Master Ge looked somewhat displeased as he held the blueprints.

There were two blueprints.

The first one was still within reasonable dimensions.

The second one was not only exaggerated in size, but also veined, with a curved tip.

"Yes." Tan Wenbin offered Master Ge a cigarette, "Sorry to trouble you."

The first one is for Mr. Wang, and the second one is for the great eunuch.

The two would be buried together, so they couldn't have the same design; there had to be a distinction. What if one day they suddenly decided to dig them up underground to compare?

Master Ge asked, "I heard these things are usually made of rubber?"

Tan Wenbin took out an envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Master Ge's work clothes pocket, patting it.

"If it were rubber, why would I need to come to you?"

Master Ge sighed, "If I were to make this and got seen, where would I put my old face?"

Tan Wenbin took out a second envelope and stuffed it into his pocket.

Master Ge nodded, "I'll do my best. Two copies of each blueprint, right?"

"Yes, that's right, each should have two."

Of course, it's not possible for one person to have two items buried with them, but considering the allure this thing has for eunuch ghosts, it's possible there might be similar situations in the future, better safe than sorry.

The spare set must be well hidden and cannot be seen by outsiders, or it would be hard to explain.

"Come pick it up in the afternoon."

"Alright, thanks for the trouble."

Tan Wenbin walked out of the factory area, got into a small pickup truck, and drove north, then turned inwards at a familiar entrance.

Familiar village roads, familiar houses, familiar electricity poles, and the familiar act of backing the car into the field.

Tan Wenbin got out, carrying large and small bags of items.

"Hey, is that Zhuangzhuang?"

Li Sanjiang was sitting on a rattan chair on the second-floor terrace, listening to the radio and sunbathing. Seeing someone approaching, he stood up first, and then kept looking behind him.

"Mr. Li, don't bother looking, Brother Xiao Yuan hasn't returned."

No one knows if Brother Xiao Yuan is awake now.

"Oh, hehe." Li Sanjiang smiled a little, disappointed.

Tan Wenbin pointed behind him and said, "Should I leave then?"

"You little rascal, even if Little Yuanhou didn't come back, you being here makes me happy, doesn't it?"

"Hehe."

Tan Wenbin entered the house and put all the things he was carrying on the round table.

Then, turning his head, he saw a woman on the other side, putting makeup on a paper figurine.

The woman sensed Tan Wenbin's gaze, turned sideways to look at him, and gave him a slight smile.

Tan Wenbin smiled back at her.

He knew who she was, but now he was no longer afraid.

Li Sanjiang came downstairs and pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

Tan Wenbin hastily took one out first, offering one to Mr. Li's mouth and helping to light it for him.

"What's going on, Zhuangzhuang, why did you suddenly come back, is there something up?"

"Yes, there is something, I need your help."

Tan Wenbin opened two of the packages, revealing two simple styled urns.

Li Sanjiang squinted, took a puff of smoke, and asked, "Who are these guests?"

People who do corpse retrieval rituals wouldn't be scared by urns, nor would they find them ominous.

"A while ago, I went with my mentor for an engineering project in the mountains. I got lost in the mountains, exhausted and thirsty, and fell asleep in a crack among some rocks, had a dream. In the dream, two people appeared and showed me the way.

I followed their guidance and found my way back to the team.

Later, I brought people back to dig at the place where I slept and unearthed these two skeletons."

Li Sanjiang puffed out a smoke ring, "Indeed, they deserve a proper burial in return for their deed."

"Yes, that's what I thought, so I brought them here, Mr. Li, can you help me arrange this?"

Tan Wenbin initially wanted to buy a public cemetery plot for them, but the public cemetery wasn't up to the standard, and they had been buried in a mass grave; it wasn't appropriate to exhume them only to bury them in a shared room.

He wanted to make something special, a refined Yin House, which could only be done in the countryside. Jinling's countryside would work too, as long as he was willing to pay, but post-burial care was an issue.

People might charge for it, but would they treat it as part of their family?

These days, land is frequently being redeveloped for construction. If a few years later, they redeveloped that land, and the two officers, as "unmarked graves," get exhumed, it would be better to keep them underground.

After much thought, Tan Wenbin decided that bringing the two officers back to the hometown for burial was more appropriate.

The Tan family has ancestral graves, but his grandparents and elder generations wouldn't be buried there anymore. As public servants, they respond to the national call for simple burials and wouldn't help build a refined Yin House.

Therefore, the last resort was to ask Mr. Li for help.

Li Sanjiang asked, "Do you want to start a renovation?"

"Yes, and the specifications must be distinct, this one needs a high specification as an elder, and the other needs a lower specification as being of the child generation."

"Understood, leave it to your Uncle Li. After all, they saved our Zhuangzhuang, can't mistreat them. I guarantee to make their resting place beautiful."

Tan Wenbin was quite moved. Everyone knew Mr. Li adored Brother Xiao Yuan, but his kindness extended to him as well. He never even mentioned money.

"Thank you, Uncle."

"No need for thanks, just hope you meet more good people on your journeys in the future."

"Indeed."

"Besides, giving them a proper burial might earn us two more guardians in the afterlife. Having connections up there makes everything easier."

"Everything you say is true, Uncle."
