Chapter 006: Clues
Mo Qi picked up the tea bowl on the table, tasted it lightly, his brows wrinkled, the tea taste was too muddy, more sour and astringent and the tea fragrance was insufficient, it was really difficult to swallow, this tea should be the most inferior and worst in the tea products.
Mo Qi paused the tea bowl back on the table, it was indeed that he asked too much, how could a farmer like Uncle Mo have very good tea.
Mo Qi took a piece of peach blossom cake and put it in his mouth, and the sweetness that melted in his mouth suppressed the astringency of the coarse tea.
Mo Qi began to study the fragments and sachets.
Obviously, this fragment fell from an account book, and it was a fine jade plate with a layer of wax, so although it was blistered, it was still possible to read the words on it.
On the fragment there is a shop, two courtyards, and a Zhuangzi in the northern suburbs.
Mo Qi had a gut feeling that this fragment of the account book might have something to do with him.
Accompanied Mo Yao to the Peach Blossom Forest this morning, Mo Yao said that when he saw him yesterday, he was soaked and fell into the peach blossom forest by the river, so it was guessed that he was going down the river from the upstream to the fence village, and then washed ashore.
Mo Qi was originally unimpressed by Mo Yao's speculation, but after asking Xiao Yue about Mo Yao's situation just now, he changed his mind.
Mo Yao was rescued by the Mo family four months ago, and it is said that the situation was worse than him at that time, and he was washed down by the water from the upstream and floated to the middle of the fence village. The water flow in the middle reaches slowed down, so Mo Yao lingered in the cold water for a long time.
Dressed in a wide moon white skirt, he floated on the cold river like this, and was later found by Mo Dongzi and rescued.
When he was first rescued, Mo Yao's face was whiter than snow, and his lips did not have a trace of color...... Later, under the careful care of Aunt Mo and others, Mo Yao completely recovered.
Since Mo Yao's situation was similar to him at the beginning, what he said was a little convincing.
Mo Qi put the fragment in his arms, anyway, he couldn't find any other clues for the time being, so it was better to start from the account book, maybe he could know who he was and why he fell into the Anqu River.
The other sachet didn't know if it was useful, Mo Qi picked up the sachet and looked at it carefully.
Mo Qi found that the lower left corner of the sachet seemed to be embroidered, and carefully rubbed the mud off the corner of the sachet, and a finely embroidered word 'Yao' came into view......
Yao? Could it be that this sachet belongs to Mo Yao.
Mo Qi fine Mosuo sachet on the words, embroidered well, fine stitches, the sachet is sewn with silk satin, is a good gold and precious thing, ordinary people can not afford this kind of silk.
If this sachet is Mo Yao's, it means that Mo Yao still remembers her name, but Xiaoyue clearly said that Mo Yao also has amnesia, if not, it is too much of a coincidence......
Mo Qi's hand holding the sachet tightened slightly, if he found an opportunity to test Mo Yao with the sachet, he might be able to see whether she was really amnesia or fake amnesia.
Mo Qi suddenly smelled a faint, special fragrance, but after only a little smell, he felt that his sanity had been slightly affected.
Mo Qi frowned, ripped the sachet open, and the dried incense pills inside appeared in front of him.
Mo Qi's eyes were focused on those incense pills, after more than four months, the fragrance of dried flowers had long since dissipated, only the incense pills still smelled.
Mo Qi took an incense pill to the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, coughed violently, quickly threw the incense pill back into the incense sachet, tied the drawstring tightly, and drank a large sip of bitter tea before his consciousness was completely restored.
This sachet is a filthy and harmful thing, if the sachet is really Mo Yao's, then it is very likely that she was assassinated and fell into the Anqu River.
If this is the case, it is reasonable for Mo Yao to pretend to be amnesiac and hide from the other party in the village afterwards.
Mo Qi's eyes flashed slightly, Uncle Mo's family was really good people, and they were even unsuspecting, and they even took in Mo Yao and him, two unidentified strangers, one after another, if they really had a very difficult enemy, I am afraid it would bring danger to Uncle Mo's family.
Mo Qi glanced at the mat and mattress spread on the ground, last night he slept in the same room with Mo Dongzi, Mo Dongzi took the initiative to leave the bed to him, and slept on the floor by himself......
Mo Qi spread out his palm, and the palm was covered with a thick layer of calluses, which was obviously left by holding a sword. He should be a person who practices martial arts, with a sense of muscles and bones, martial arts do not seem to be weak, and when necessary, he will try his best to protect Uncle Mo's family.
Before I knew it, the smell of food wafted outside the house. Mo Qi touched his stomach, those few pieces of peach blossom cake tasted good, but they were too small, not enough for him to stuff his teeth, and he was already hungry.
Although Mo Yao and him don't like each other, they are better at cooking, and if they can, they will reluctantly accept her in the kitchen to be a full-time cook.
Mo Qi put away the fragments and sachets and left the room, and when he went to the kitchen, he saw another plate of squirrel mandarin fish on the table.
Mo Qi ordered Xiaoyue to bring chopsticks, and just sat down at the table, Ye Tingyao happened to put a plate of roasted eggplant on the table. Ye Tingyao frowned and said, "Uncle Mo and Brother Dongzi haven't come back yet, you don't eat the food alone." They go to the town in the morning, and after lunch they don't rest for half a minute and then go to the village to do farm work, what about you, you only pick two peach blossoms in the morning and don't know where to hide to be lazy, and squat in the house in the afternoon to drink tea and eat snacks...... You put your hand on your left chest. ”
Mo Qi's face was red and white for a while, and he unconsciously listened to Ye Yao's instructions, raised his hand and pressed it on his left chest, and a strong heartbeat came from the palm of his hand.
Ye Tingyao saw that Mo Qishang was obedient, and nodded with satisfaction, "Have you touched your conscience?" If you don't work, just be an idler, don't snatch up the rations of the hard-working people, you can't see it. ”
"You...... I gave the money. Mo Qi angrily slapped his chopsticks on the table.
Ye Tingyao pursed her mouth in disgust, "You are not vulgar, you know money all day long, when did I mention money?" Whether you give money or not, and whether you are an idler or not, are completely different things. Well, since you want to count the money, then I will calculate it, your small bag of gold is at most thirty taels, worth two hundred and forty taels of silver, one gold leaf weighs two taels, and is worth sixteen silver, our squirrel mandarin fish is worth five taels of silver in the restaurant, and the crystal peach blossom cake of that level in the afternoon is also worth one or two silver, and there are all kinds of dishes on the dinner table in the past two days, and your gold leaves have already been used up yesterday. ”
Ye Tingyao's hand weighing is absolutely accurate, in her previous life, she used her hands to check it when cooking, as big as a few catties and taels of king crab, as small as a spoonful of salt, a few grams and a few dollars, she can calculate the exact score.
Yesterday, she took the money bag and knew how much money Mo Qi had.
was publicly humiliated and looked down upon, Mo Qi's heart was turbulent, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed, but he couldn't just leave.
After all, 'the three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition', and eating the food cooked by Mo Yao is tantamount to slapping himself in the face.
Ye Tingyao glanced at Mo Qi and saw him sit up and squeak the stool, which was annoying.
Mo Qi looks heroic and domineering on the surface, but he is extremely immature on the inside, and he was probably too well protected before he fell down......
