Hu Xianxian undoubtedly walked from the east of the city to the south of the city, passing by several tofu brain stalls. Hu Xianxian must eat it in every family, and then ask if the surname is Li.

"You're looking for someone? Just ask where the man's stall is? If I eat it like this, my stomach can't stand it, and the burps are all tofu brain flavors. ”

As she spoke, she undoubtedly burped, and she fanned the smell coming out of her mouth in disgust.

"Heh, you don't understand this, do you? Asking the person's stall directly will miss a lot of key information. Hearing Hu Xianxian say this, he undoubtedly shook his head and followed her.

When he ate to the fifth house, Hu Xianxian asked again: "Uncle, I remember that Uncle Li used to make a good tofu brain, why didn't you see his stall?" ”

"He, how can he make me delicious? No one wants to eat him, so he won't do it. That old door-picker, can only lie on the bed every day to stand up for the corpse. The uncle who was scooping the tofu brain said in a somewhat impulsive tone, it seems that the two know each other, and there have been conflicts because of business.

Hu Xianxian handed him the money and asked again: "I haven't been back to Yizhou for many years, so I want to taste the taste before." Don't care if Uncle Li does it well or not, I just want to find the feeling I had when I was a child, where is his home? ”

"Hmph, if I stop you from going to him, I'll be afraid that he will steal business, right?

Go ahead, and you'll know I didn't lie to you.

His house is the third one behind the alley diagonally opposite, and you can see it when you enter the alley. The uncle quickly collected the money, and no doubt he took the bowl before he put it down.

Hu Xianxian sighed secretly, it's really "peers are enemies", don't you just sell a tofu brain, as for the fight is so obvious?

When she arrived outside Li Sigong's house, Hu Xianxian knew that people really didn't lie to her, and Li Sigong didn't set up a stall.

As soon as they walked to the door, they heard a scolding voice from the Li family's house: "The old man is not dead, he lies at home every day, and he is angry with the old lady." You're stiff earlier, and you've saved food! You're just such a half-dead grinding lady, and you're about to break your legs when you serve soup and deliver medicine......"

Hu Xianxian knocked on the painted wooden door and asked in a low voice, "Is anyone at home?" I buy tofu brains. ”

"Buy a fart! The old immortal only knows how to stand up to the corpse, and he has long been out of the stall. Halfway through the door, a middle-aged woman with triangular eyes poked her head out.

"Alas...... Uncle Li is sick? My girl likes to eat his tofu brains. Well, I also know a little bit about medicine, why don't you let me show Uncle Li? ”

The woman looked at Hu Xianxian and said loudly, "We don't have money to see a doctor and take medicine!" "As he spoke, he was about to close the door.

Hu Xianxian held the door and said, "You let Uncle Li come to the door, can I cure him, I will be sure after a few glances." Rest assured, we don't charge a penny. ”

The woman turned to go in, and in a few moments she helped out a little old man with a sallow face.

Hu Xianxian asked him to sit down on the stone pier at the door, looked at him carefully and said, "Uncle Li is not seriously ill, but there are troubles accumulated in his heart, so he will be weak and unable to sleep and eat." ”

"Alas, alas......" Li Sigong sighed a few times and looked at the woman timidly.

Hu Xianxian knew that he must still be hiding from his wife about losing money, so he smiled and said to the woman: "Uncle Li's disease is easy to treat, as long as you grab some medicine to clear heat and moisten the lungs." Auntie, I happen to have a prescription here, please go to the pharmacy at the entrance of the alley to grab some medicine. ”

As she handed over the prescription, she handed over a piece of silver. Then, he said to Li Sigong: "Uncle Li, wait until you drink the medicine and keep the medicine until you get rid of the disease." Let's come back to eat tofu brain in the afternoon, and remember to make us an authentic taste. ”

Seeing the woman walking away, Li Sigong kept Hu Xianxian and them: "Wait a minute, the two girls, the little old man can see it, you came to me, not just to eat tofu brains, right?" ”

Hu Xianxian stopped going around in circles and asked directly: "Uncle Li lost the money and felt uncomfortable before he got sick, right?" We are curious about how an honest person like Uncle Li would go to the casino? ”

Li Sigong's eyes flickered a few times, and he trembled his lips and said, "I...... Where have I been to a casino......"

"Uncle Li, are you afraid that your aunt will know that you have hidden private money? Lost all your money? Hu Xianxian stared into his eyes and smiled.

Li Sigong buried his head and pulled his hair. Hu Xianxian intuitively felt that he was pressing things in his heart, and from the perspective of knowing his situation, he was a person who was diligent and thrifty, timid and afraid of things, and especially afraid of his wife. It is not difficult for such a person to dig out his secrets.

"Uncle Li, it's useless for you to lie to us, we know about you. If you tell us the truth about your trip to the casino, we can give you money. If you have to hide it, we'll tell your wife about your loss. ”

Li Sigong saw that Hu Xianxian suddenly showed a bit of fierceness, he glanced at the room next to him in fear, and said in a trembling voice, "I...... I don't want to go...... Yes, the kid next door saw that I was hiding my private money, so he had to take me to the casino......"

"The eldest aunt doesn't know that you have hidden private money, how can the neighbors know?"

Li Sigong kept looking at the room next to him, and Hu Xianxian saw that he should be very jealous of the people in that room, so he slowed down his tone and said, "Uncle Li, we will live in the small inn at the entrance of the alley, and when you get better, hurry up and make us a few bowls of tofu brains and send them to the inn, okay?" ”

"Okay, okay. I'll send it to you before the unitary time, don't worry. Li Sigong wiped the sweat on his forehead and agreed.

Hu Xianxian knew that he had understood that he was going to talk to him, so he didn't say anything more, and left. Walking to the entrance of the alley, she went to the small inn and asked for an upper room to stay, just waiting for Li Sigong to come.

Soon after Shen Shi, Li Sigong went to this small inn to find people, and after finding the room where they were, he first took out two bowls of tofu brains from the food box.

Undoubtedly, looking at the two bowls that were much larger than the usual stalls, he covered his mouth with his eyes wide open. Hu Xianxian knew that she hated tofu brain from now on, and laughed in a low voice: "We are not in a hurry to eat, Uncle Li will talk about your neighbor first." ”

Undoubtedly, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat upright and looked at Li Sigong expectantly.

Li Sigong sat on the small stool by the door and said solemnly: "The boy who lives next door to me is a good person, and I don't dare to offend him."

Once, when I was closing the stall, he saw me stuffing something under the cart and guessed that I was hiding money.

He was originally a wandering orphan with no name and no surname, but later he became acquainted in this city and settled down, and they all called him 'sour head'. ”

Hu Xianxian frowned, what is the name of this? I can't help but ask: "Sour head?" ”

"His hair smells sour all year round, isn't it 'sour'?"

The three of them all chuckled, and they seemed to be more familiar with each other, and Li Sigong seemed less nervous when he spoke.

"Since the sour head knew that I had hidden private money, he pushed me to gamble every day. He said he had spells that would allow me to win and not lose.

I didn't believe him, but that day my wife scolded me for being unproductive and not making money, so I was dizzy.

I was dizzy and wanted to win back a lot of money so that I could vent my anger in front of my wife.

I went to find a sour head to take me to gamble, who knows how to lose? Alas, it took me years to save up half a penny. ”

Hu Xianxian asked him in a deep voice: "He said that he has a spell that can win and not lose, but you still believe in him a little, right?" He didn't make a living, but he didn't starve to death, you think he won it by gambling, don't you? ”

"There is a little bit of belief, alas, I am so busy all day long that my feet do not touch the ground, but I can only fill my belly.

The sour head is idle all day long, and he is more comfortable than me, and I want to make a windfall.

But fortunately, I didn't make a windfall, and the windfall is not good......"

Li Sigong glanced at him as he spoke, and Hu Xianxian stared at him fiercely: "What do you mean by this?" Do you recognize my sister? ”

Li Sigong glanced outside the door, Hu Xianxian understood, asked him to sit close to them, and closed the door.

Li Sigong tugged at the placket of his clothes with both hands, and said as if he had made a lot of determination: "I know that you came to me for the matter of Hang Laojiao, and I will tell you everything I know."

If you want me to tell the truth, give me more money, I want to move to another place, I can't be a neighbor with a sour head anymore. ”

Hu Xianxian nodded, and took out a big ingot from his sleeve.

Li Sigong looked at Yuan Bao and swallowed his saliva, and said in a low voice: "Sour head and Hang Lao Bao teamed up to win money, they were supposed to take me to win money together, but then Gatou said that I was too stupid and didn't let them take me."

I was not convinced, and after losing all my money, I kept squatting under the city wall, waiting to find a sour head to explain.

Seeing the sour head coming out, I was about to call him, but I saw him and Hang Lao arguing over the matter of dividing the money.

They quarreled a few words, and the gatou came. I was afraid of a grunt, so I sneaked home.

I don't dare to say that Hang Lao Bao was definitely killed by the two of them, but it definitely has nothing to do with the two of them......"

Hu Xianxian tapped his index finger on the table, thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go and grab the sour head and the ga head now?" ”

"No, no!" Li Sigong hurriedly waved his hand, "Gatou is a practitioner, to catch him is to find death!" You can try it first, but I won't show up......"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice again: "It's not easy to mess with a sour head, don't rush into his house." You have to wait until you see him go out at the entrance of the alley, look at him from a distance, and then find someone who knows kung fu to clean him up.

He slept during the day and came out at night. I don't get up until about the same time every day, go to the street to get something to eat, and then go to the casino.

The thugs in the casino are all familiar with him, and you can't wait for him to enter the casino. Gotta stop him on his way from the alley to the casino, understand? ”

Hu Xianxian nodded to show that he understood, and handed the silver ingots to Li Sigong: "Uncle Li, after moving, you will do business with your heart, do a good job of taste, and give enough portions, and the business will naturally be hot."

Don't make some petty tricks to steal business with others, it takes energy and doesn't work.

Also, live with your aunt honestly, don't always think about getting developed and divorce her. According to your thoughts, you will not be able to develop in your lifetime. ”

Li Sigong blushed, put away the money, and left in a hurry.

Hu Xianxian and undoubtedly waited at the entrance of the alley until the first moment of the unitary time, and the wooden door next to Li Sigong finally opened. They saw a man in a satin shirt with unkempt hair and straw sandals coming out.

This person is sour, his eyes are blue and black, his eyes are blank, and he looks like a person who often stays up late.

Although his shirt was a little wrinkled, it could still be seen that it was originally well-styled and finely made, but it was a pity that he was dressed like a rag.

Hu Xianxian patted his arm and said in a commanding tone: "You go quickly, stop the sour head at the corner of the alley leading to the street." ”
