He has a clear face, five long beards, and fair skin, but the black fingerprints on his neck are particularly dazzling.
Mo Shili raised his hand to pick up the body and inspect it carefully.
Except for the neck, the body had no other external injuries.
Moreover, the palms are delicate and there are no calluses, plus they are well-dressed.
Obviously he is not a hard-working person.
So--
"Where is the body of Li She's wife?"
"In other words, is the other party alive or dead?"
"besides……"
"Who is lying in the coffin?"
While Mo Shili was thinking, he gently closed the coffin board, turned around and entered the house.
He hopes to find more clues.
Unfortunately, nothing was found.
Not only were there no valuable clues, there were not even any copper coins.
Even in the kitchen, Mo Shili didn't even find any dry biscuits.
However, there was a lot of flour in the black urn that was more than half a person tall. It not only covered the bottom of the urn, but also raised it a lot.
What's more important is that it's full of new food!
Mo Shili pinched a small cluster with his fingers, and the faint scent of wheat immediately poured into his nose.
"Um?"
Mo Shili frowned.
It's a little strange.
This family is so poor that when the mice come, they have to shed two tears before leaving. Where can they get the money to buy new grain?
If it were old grain saved, it would make sense.
Mo Shili thought to himself, turned around, and touched the inner wall of the urn again. White and slightly yellow flour stuck to his fingers.
As soon as I got it close to my nose, an obvious stale smell appeared.
Chen Liang without a doubt.
"This is a bit interesting."
"I relied on old grain before, and then new grain came in. The money...
Where did it come from?”
Mo Shili whispered to himself softly.
He turned around and looked at the entire Li family carefully again, and began to look upward.
He just searched the entire Li family.
I looked under the bed, behind the cabinet and other places.
But there is one place where it is not.
On the rafters!
The next moment, Mo Shili used his hands and feet, like a snake wrapped around a pillar, to jump up to the beam.
Half-crouching, Mo Shili's eyes were fixed on the beam.
There is a similar bump there.
A click of the fingers.
A palm-sized wooden board rose up.
It was empty inside.
But Mo Shili is certain that there must have been money here before.
Or it was left by Li Zhicun.
Or it was hidden by Li She's wife.
However, Li She, a gambler, definitely didn't know that.
Moreover, in order to prevent the gambler Li She from knowing about it, more appropriate preservation methods were used.
"There is no place to hide at home, and the bank is not hidden enough, and it must be convenient to withdraw money..."
Mo Shili thought and looked towards the Li family's yard.
The yard is too small and can be seen at a glance, so there is no place to hide things.
But next door...
Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!
If you can't put it in your own home or bank, then only your next door neighbor will be left.
Of course, this is assuming the neighbors are trustworthy.
But if Mo Shili is suspicious by nature, no matter how trustworthy his neighbor is, he will never do this. He will choose a more complicated and distant place to hide the money.
But what about the daughter-in-law of gambler Li She?
There are seniors above and young below, and they all need to be taken care of by the other.
It's doomed, the other party doesn't have much choice.
Mo Shili stared at the door next to Li's house.
At this moment, that house was dark and silent.
He was probably worried about being affected, so he left temporarily.
After Mo Shili observed it for a moment, he turned around and walked quickly.
However, he did not return to the restaurant, but went straight to the mountains outside Chang'an County.
There was someone else he wanted to meet.
Li Zhi!
In Mo Shili's opinion, the other party is the real key!
Outside Chang'an County, the night was as thick as ink, covering the sky and the earth. It was almost impossible to see even one's fingers. The chill that had not completely dissipated began to condense at this moment.
As I ran, the cold wind penetrated the back of my neck.
Mo Shili couldn't help but tighten the collar around his neck.
Feeling in the dark, Mo Shili finally found the little bumpkin the restaurant guest was talking about.
Under the earth bag is a pit. A cave dwelling built with earth and stones leaning against the mountain wall is in this pit. A figure is leaning against the half-sealed cave dwelling.
Layers of bricks and stones obscured this figure, with only the head and half of the chest exposed.
Mo Shili walked away quickly, raised his hand to push aside the bricks and stones, and bent down to help the figure up.
I saw that the other party was wearing only single clothes, his face was old and his wrinkles were deep.
It should be Li Zhi in the case of "Li Zhi killing Sun"!
At this moment, Li Zhi was in an extremely embarrassed state.
His white beard and hair were messy and tied into knots.
His face, hands, and body were all covered in dust and stains.
The most important thing is that the other person is breathing vaguely at this moment.
A touch of forehead made it even hotter.
Mo Shili is not a doctor and cannot accurately determine what kind of disease this is, but he knows what to do -
"Yang Yu! Yang Yu!"
"are you there?"
"Come out and save people!"
Mo Shili opened his throat and shouted.
Although Yang Yu was not found along the way, Mo Shili was sure that the other party was following him.
In fact, before Mo Shili's shouting had completely ended, a figure appeared next to him.
The man in black with a long sword and a cold face is Yang Yu.
"exist."
After answering coldly, Yang Yu leaned over to check.
Then, he took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a red pill the size of a little finger, pried open Li Zhi's mouth, and threw the pill in.
Then he pinched the old man's nose, and then used the index finger and middle finger of the other hand to follow the old man's throat.
The pill entered the old man's belly smoothly.
After a while, the old man's breathing became steady.
Yang Yu pried open the old man's mouth again and poured the water from the kettle into the old man's mouth bit by bit.
After about three or four times.
The old man woke up.
When the old man woke up, he was confused at first, and then his eyes gradually became clear. When he saw Mo Shili and Yang Yu clearly, he immediately looked frightened and struggled to push Yang Yu away.
"Don't come near me, I, Li Zhi, am an unlucky person!"
"Go quickly! Go quickly!"
"I can't implicate you!"
Li Zhi shouted loudly, with an anxious look on his face.
Yang Yu ignored it at all, put down the kettle, took out the dry food, and handed it to Li Zhi.
"eat."
The words are concise and concise, but cannot be rejected.
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't open his mouth, even though his stomach was already growling.
Mo Shili came over with a smile.
"Old man, just take a bite."
"This brother of mine is born to be stubborn and stubborn, and he accepts death as his own."
"If you don't eat, he will have to support you all the time."
"You also said that you are an unlucky person. My two brothers saved you because of their kindness. You don't want my two brothers to be in trouble because they have been in contact with you for a long time, right?"
Hearing Mo Shili say that he was a stubborn donkey, Yang Yu frowned slightly, but did not refute.
Because Li Zhi heard what Mo Shili said and raised his hand to take the pancake.
"I will do it myself."
"I would like to thank you both."
Li Zhi struggled again and thanked him.
This time, Yang Yu didn't stop him.
Li Zhi was left half sitting and half leaning in the cave, while the dry food in his hand was placed in the other person's hand.
"You guys should leave quickly."
"You are still young, you can't just..."
"My grandson! My poor grandson!"
Li Zhi once again persuaded Mo Shili and Yang Yu, but as he spoke, the tears couldn't stop falling, and later he started crying loudly.
In the middle of the night, in the wilderness, the sound of crying became more and more miserable.
The frightened wild birds started squawking even more.
When the wind blows and the whistling sound comes, it is inexplicably scary.
But Mo Shili and Yang Yu didn't care at all.
The former is not afraid.
The latter has nothing to fear.
Mo Shili came over and comforted the old man softly.
"Old man, what happened?"
"Can you talk to me?"
As he said that, Mo Shili raised his hand.
"Are you outsiders?"
Li Zhi raised his head and looked at Mo Shili.
Mo Shili nodded immediately.
"You have a good idea. My two brothers are from Daxing, Xindu. They came to Chang'an County to visit relatives. However, because my brothers were greedy for alcohol, they missed the time. It was already dark when we came here. I don't know why, so I came here.
Got this side."
White lies came as soon as Mo Shili opened his mouth.
Yang Yu, who was arranged, frowned slightly again, but still did not refute.
However, when he turned around, he picked up charcoal and paper and wrote something.
"So that's it."
"No wonder you don't know that I am such an ominous person."
Li Zhi sighed and opened his mouth to tell the story of "live children and grandchildren". As the old man spoke, he choked up again.
"When I was about to turn sixty, I told my daughter-in-law to send me to the mountains as soon as possible."
"But my daughter-in-law felt sorry for me. She told me not to take it easy, and she even asked Dr. Chen to treat me as a person who deserved to die."
"Doctor Chen?"
Mo Shili caught a familiar word.
Previous guests in the restaurant also mentioned Dr. Chen.
The other party also treated Li She's son, Li Zhi's grandson, for medical treatment.
"Yes, that's Doctor Chen, a very famous doctor in our Chang'an County. Young man, have you heard of Doctor Chen's name?"
"I've heard a little bit about it."
"Have you been sick before?"
Mo Shili asked again.
"Well, I was infected with the cold before and had a fever. If it weren't for my wife there, I would have died a long time ago."
"I spent a lot of money on an old thing!"
"Oh, it's not worth it! It's not worth it!"
Li Zhiman sighed.
"What about your son?"
Mo Shili continued to ask.
"That's an unfilial son!"
"Why mention him?"
Li Zhiman was angry when he mentioned his son.
But in the end he sighed again and leaned against the cave dwelling without saying a word.
When Mo Shili asked again, Li Zhi waved his hands without answering, signaling the two of them to leave quickly.
Mo Shili handed over his hand, and after Yang Yu left all the dry food on his body, the two of them left slowly.
After walking about half a mile, Mo Shili spoke.
"Yang Yu, what do you think?"
Yang Yu didn't answer, but just handed over a note.
It was written in charcoal: Li Zhi is still seriously ill and lacks food and clothing, so he will not be able to survive tomorrow.
