People looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
Soon, there was another sound in the restaurant.
No more noise.
But whisper.
"hiss!"
"Borrow your life!"
"This is so evil!"
"Yeah, it's so evil!"
"What's so evil?"
While everyone was whispering to each other, a middle-aged man in a robe snorted.
The middle-aged man obviously has considerable influence in the local area. As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.
After attracting everyone's attention, the middle-aged man felt satisfied and said slowly.
"The rules left by the old people must be reasonable. If Li She doesn't abide by the rules, he will naturally suffer!"
"It's not just my own misfortune."
"It will bring harm to the family!"
The words of the middle-aged man immediately ushered in the agreement.
Everyone who had been whispering before nodded.
"yes!"
"Li She is so inappropriate!"
"Dr. Chen said before when he saw Li She's son that he has a way to cure the disease, but sometimes it is not a disease!"
Among the crowd, a man with a sore on his mouth sighed.
"Dr. Chen said this?"
Some people around me didn't believe it.
Immediately, the man became anxious.
"How can there be any lie?"
"When I went to see the aphtha, after hearing the news about the death of Li She's son, Dr. Chen was stunned for a long time in front of me, and then he sighed and said, and he also refunded all the consultation fees given by Li She's wife.
go back."
"It's a pity that Li She's wife is a good person. Li She, that rotten gambler, has his whole family supported by his wife alone!"
As he said this, the man sighed.
At this time, the guy next to me started laughing.
"A good person? Do you look at people's looks, right?"
"Go, go, go, there's no ivory coming out of a dog's mouth."
A person with a sore on his mouth looks unhappy.
At this time, Mo Shili, who had been listening for a while, walked in.
Chang'an County is close to the new capital of Daxing. There are many people traveling from south to north, so it doesn't attract anyone's attention when they walk in.
The waiter in the restaurant was sharp-eyed and came over immediately.
"Sir, would you rather stay in a hotel or have a warm meal?"
"Eat first and then stay at the hotel. I smell the aroma of chicken."
Mo Shili said truthfully.
"Hey, sir, you have an amazing nose. The chef of our restaurant just made the 'Lotus Chicken'. The chicken is crispy and the soup is delicious. You must try it."
"Okay, just try this 'Lotus Chicken', and you can watch the other two dishes."
"Dele!"
The waiter replied.
Mo Shili sat here, listening to the chatter of people around him, and waiting.
After a while, he had a general understanding of Li Zhi's family.
Li Zhi is a native of Hong Kong. His ancestors owned hundreds of acres of fertile land.
Li She, Li Zhi's son, did not learn well at a young age and became a bad gambler. His family's assets were almost completely lost.
Li Li, the grandson who was rumored to have been 'borrowed' his life, is dead.
"Li She was a gambling addict. He barely had a home. He relied on his wife to take care of everything in the house so that he didn't get completely ruined... Tsk, you're a dog gambler. You really don't deserve a good death."
Mo Shili was filled with disdain.
In Mo Shili's view, after being contaminated by gambling drugs, he is no longer a human being.
It's totally inhumane.
Even if there were no surviving children, Li She would still have to demolish the house, sell the land, and sell off his wife and children.
And such a person would raise his father to be sixty years old?
Not to mention the local custom of ‘sacrifice to the dead in the kiln’.
As for the habit of betting on dogs, I wish my father would die early and lose a pair of chopsticks to eat, so that he could have more money to gamble, not to mention spend money on medical treatment.
"It should be Li Zhi's daughter-in-law taking care of her father-in-law, right?"
Mo Shili thought as the waiter came up with the food.
"Sir, your lotus chicken, bean sprouts, stir-fried dough."
The waiter said and served the dishes.
Lotus chicken, it really looks like a lotus, like a lotus floating on the water, and it complements the white chicken. When you take a bite of the chicken, it is crispy and smooth in the mouth, and the lotus seeds in the lotus are like chicken meatballs, which are full of elasticity and have a soft texture.
It has a strong fat smell, it should be made from lard and chicken breast. The lard neutralizes the firewood of the chicken breast very well.
And when the crisp and refreshing bean sprouts entered the mouth, the texture became even more complex, making Mo Shili unable to help but stir the dough.
Stirring the dough is like pasta, just like leaving out the fish.
It is fried with eggs over high heat, steaming hot and fragrant.
"good."
Mo Shili praised.
Not only is the lotus chicken delicious, but the bean sprouts are also good at making dough balls.
It's not exquisite, but it's definitely edible.
When Mo Shili took out the two taels of silver given by Wu Laoqi, the waiter immediately called to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper who pointed behind the counter came over with scissors in his hand. He didn't cut the money immediately, but smiled and asked.
"Sir, are you satisfied with your meal?"
"Okay, give me a single room for two nights."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, then picked up the silver and began to cut it carefully.
The new dynasty inherited the old system, with a thousand coins exchanged for one tael of silver.
However, the main currency in the market is copper coins and iron coins.
Copper coins are commonly known as Da Zi'er, which can be exchanged for ten iron coins.
Therefore, everyone should be cautious when encountering silver.
Customers beware, the change is low.
Merchants were worried that someone would pass off tin and lead as silver.
After handing the cut silver to Mo Shili himself, the shopkeeper gave him another 30 copper coins, and then ordered the waiter to lead Mo Shili upstairs.
The room is not big but tidy enough.
"Bring me a bucket of hot water. I want to soak my feet."
With that said, Mo Shili popped a big coin towards the waiter.
"Well done, sir."
"Come right away."
The waiter who got the reward was very motivated. Although he didn't get the reward, he still had to do this job, but carrying a bucket of hot water upstairs was hard work without any credit.
Of course, what's more important is that Mo Shili is worried that when he eats the food tomorrow, someone will spit in the food.
It was late at night when everything was packed up.
The restaurant lobby has already quieted down.
Mo Shili closed the door, pushed open the window and jumped out, circling down the pillar like a four-legged snake with extremely fast speed.
Standing firm on both feet, he found the direction a little and headed towards Li She's house.
Mo Shili already knew the approximate location of Li She's house just after listening to the chatting of the guests in the restaurant.
And Li She's family, whose daughter-in-law had just died, would definitely hang up a lantern with the word "Dian".
This is particularly conspicuous at night.
After a while, Mo Shili found Li She's house.
The green tiles and brick walls can also show the richness of Li She's ancestors.
But the broken tiles and the cracks in the blue bricks told everyone about the decline of the Li family.
At this moment, the Li family was even more deserted.
Not only was there no one to help, there was also no one to keep vigil.
The three generations of the Li family are all descended from a single generation, and their relatives have already left the fifth server and no longer have any contact with each other.
There is no one to help with weddings and funerals.
As for Li She?
Expecting a bad gambler to keep vigil?
It is better to hope that the other party will stop gambling!
Just now, a customer in the restaurant said that Li She went gambling again.
Therefore, no one in the entire Li family is here.
Naturally no one will come.
As soon as the incident about the surviving son Sun Shou came out, the Li family was already destitute, and when Li She's wife died, it became even more difficult to avoid them.
Everyone is afraid of bad luck.
I am even more afraid of being contaminated with unclean things.
Therefore, Mo Shili checked around and confirmed that no one was there, then climbed over the wall and came in.
He didn't go anywhere else and went straight to the courtyard where the coffin was parked.
He just wanted to see the difference between the person who died after being 'borrowed' and the person who died in a normal way.
To be more precise, let’s see if we can find anything fishy from above.
In the coffin courtyard, the nails have not yet been dropped.
Mo Shili pushed the coffin open with just a little force.
Then, Mo Shili looked into the museum.
"Um?"
When Mo Shili saw the inside of the museum clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
