Chapter 38 The seventh room of the upside-down room
paper money.
outer circle inner square
Made from whitish hemp paper, cut.
"this?!"
Mo Shili was startled and subconsciously looked at his wonton bowl.
I won’t really be tricked, right?
It wasn't that Mo Shili was suspicious, it was just that the human cook had left a huge psychological shadow on him.
Who in the right mind would eat that!
Just when Mo Shili was confused and confused, the little girl left with the bowl in hand, and the owner of the wonton stall continued to greet other customers and gradually became busy.
Mo Shili took a look at the money box.
He really wanted to see if there was a piece of paper money in the money box.
But, not now.
Opening someone else's money box for no reason is stealing.
Mo Shili was quite sure that if he dared to open someone else's money box now, Wu Laoqi would dare to chop off his hand.
Protecting the calf is protecting the calf.
Shame is shame.
Two different things, no conflict.
"Let's go, boss!"
After saying hello to the owner of the wonton stall, Mo Shili circled around and chased after the girl holding the bowl.
The boss who received the paper money put the money into the money box and couldn't move it.
But the little girl who handed out the paper money was still walking there.
If one end doesn't work, try the other end.
Mo Shili has always been flexible in application.
The little girl was carrying wontons and the soup in the bowl was very full. In order not to spill it, she naturally walked very slowly.
Mo Shili went around in a circle, and when he came from another alley, the little girl was cautiously entering a large courtyard.
It is different from the single-person hospital in Mo Shili.
In this large courtyard, more than ten or twenty families often live together.
When there are more people, there won’t be so many things to pay attention to.
Build a wall and build a roof, and you can live in it.
Some even simply build a wall in the original room, divide the whole room into two, and then change the windows into new doors, so that two families can live in it.
For a yard like this, no matter how good it was in the past, don't expect to see any good scenery now.
Dirty and messy is the best evaluation.
The characteristic is that there are many people.
There are people walking around the streets selling dog skin plasters, people doing tricks and selling Dali pills, and people talking cross talk with their hands down. It can be said that all the three religions and streams are mixed in there, not to mention the slums in the old city of Chang'an.
Mo Shili, who was standing in the corner, looked at the yard and thought of something inexplicably——
If you are rich, you cannot live in Tiantongyuan. If you are poor, you must go to Maju Bridge!
The courtyard in front of you seems to be a combination of Tiantongyuan and Maju Bridge.
Busy people are really busy.
Those who are idle are truly idle.
Mo Shili watched the little girl carrying a bowl towards the last room of the reverse seating room.
It was originally a reverse-seat house where servants lived, but it was converted into a row of houses in this yard. Counting from the door, there are seven rooms in a row of reverse-seat houses, some large and some small.
The last room the little girl went to was the smallest in the row of houses.
There is only a small door and no windows.
And just as the little girl walked to the door of her house, the door to her compartment opened.
An old woman wearing an old cotton-padded jacket, with her hair tied up, a face like a monkey, and a mouth like a wrinkled orange peel came out.
"Yu'er, what are you talking about?"
"Here, my mother-in-law will serve it to you."
Saying that, the old woman reached out and took the little girl's bowl filled with wontons.
The little girl took a step back warily and shook her head repeatedly.
The old woman's face darkened.
"Yu'er, come on, listen."
Saying that, he started to snatch it.
And at this time——
"cough!"
A slight cough sounded.
The old woman was startled and looked back subconsciously.
It would be troublesome if someone in the yard saw this.
When he saw that it was Mo Shili, someone he didn't recognize from the hospital, he immediately cheered up and cursed angrily.
"It's that wild man seduced by that bitch again!"
Cursing, he turned around to find the little girl.
But the little girl was extremely clever and took advantage of this opportunity to run back home. No matter how courageous the old woman was, she would not dare to rush to other people's homes to grab things. She could only vent her anger on Mo Shili.
However, Mo Shili is more clever.
By the time the old woman turned around to look for Mo Shili, no one was there.
This made the old woman very angry.
He kept mumbling and cursing.
There are endless words like bitch and wild man.
I won’t say it even if it’s insulting, and I haven’t repeated it yet.
When she was tired of scolding, the old woman looked around in the courtyard. When she found that no one was paying attention to her, her eyes were fixed on another onion.
For the convenience of storage, green onions are stacked in bundles under the windowsill.
If you smoke one, you can't see it at all.
The old woman walked over quickly and pulled her up.
But just when her fingers touched the green onions, she heard a voice——
"Stealing onions!"
"Someone stole the onions!"
This voice is extremely high and loud.
The old woman, who had a guilty conscience, was so frightened that she turned around and ran away. However, in panic, she fell to the ground and bit her only two remaining front teeth. It was painful, but the old woman didn't care about it at all. She covered her mouth and ran back into the house.
.
Close the door and quietly watch what's going on in the courtyard through the window.
Then, she saw the young man standing at the door of the compound with a smile, gesticulating at her.
She could clearly see that the mouth shape was:
The east is long and the west is short, and there are three toads with four eyes.
This is calling her a tongue-tied woman!
The old woman was so angry that she picked up the broom and rushed out.
Unfortunately, Mo Shili disappeared again.
This time, the old woman quit.
Mo Shili could not be found.
The old woman blocked the little girl's door and began to curse.
"You are a businessman with a half-closed door, and you seduced a wild man and bullied me, an old woman!"
"The child I gave birth to is also a bastard!"
"You don't have a single good thing in your family!"
"Hey, poor old lady, I've never met a good person in my life!"
Cursing and cursing, the old woman threw away the broom and sat down on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying.
This time the movement was big.
All the people in the backyard who were not working came out.
A dozen or so people gathered around the old woman to watch the fun.
The old woman became more and more enthusiastic, and began to add insult to injury by saying that the owner of the house had been seducing wild men for most of the day, and that he bullied her because she was old and weak, and pushed her to the ground.
All in all, it's nonsense and mudslinging.
As a witness, Mo Shili had long known that such people were not good people, but making them up made him want to rush up and slap them twice.
However, he also got a rough idea from the conversations of people around him.
This family has recently moved here.
Only women, no men.
She also has a child, who is also mute.
However, he spent a lot of money and was incompatible with his neighbors, so he was naturally envied and hated by others.
Then there are people like Old Woman Po.
I don't know when, but I was said to be doing business behind closed doors.
"She runs a half-open business, and she also picks people."
"She won't like us who are so miserable."
"Last time, the boy from the Wang family came to our door and was caught in the face."
"Isn't that right?"
"They only entertain noble people!"
When someone starts, someone will join in.
Don't care if it's true or false, just have fun.
The group of people watching the excitement in the yard began to say some obscene words.
And at this moment——
Squeak!
The door opened a crack.
The little girl stood in the crack of the door, glaring at the people blocking the door.
"Aba Aba!"
The angry shouting seemed funny to others in the yard.
Everyone was extremely happy, but immediately they stopped laughing.
Because, a woman appeared behind the little girl, a woman with a pale face and empty eyes, but an extremely penetrating woman.
The sun was shining brightly in the yard, but it was dark inside the house.
Under the light, the darkness becomes deeper and deeper.
It also made the woman who suddenly appeared even more frightening.
The people in the yard felt as if their throats were being strangled, and no one could make a sound, especially the old woman sitting on the ground, who was using her hands and feet to move back.
But Mo Shili frowned as he looked at the little girl.
