The Great Idle Person of the Zhenguan Era.

Summary

Li Su was digging up a large sum of money he had buried with the Wang brothers. Wang Zuan and Wang Zhi, who were strong and physically capable, helped Li Su dig a three-foot-deep hole.

Meanwhile, the Li Family's house was being built at a rapid pace, with several dozen skilled craftsmen working on the project. Li Su had not visited the riverbank in several days, busy with overseeing the construction site. The village was gradually filling with the sounds of cicadas, signaling the approach of early summer.

The temple was once a thriving center of Buddhism but was affected by the Xuanwu Gate Incident, a rebellion led by Li Shi Min. As they walked through the desolate land, Li Shi Min felt a hint of guilt and regret, remembering the battle that took place there and the heroic defense of his uncle, Bao.
