"Believe me," Li Shang said in a low voice, "This world will not always be run by Mongolian people. ”

Xin Shansi turned to look at him: "The village must be united. ”

"It's not enough to just stick together. I thought that no matter what the world was, it would be easier for a literate person to survive than an illiterate person. ”

"Not necessarily. Some people who read books are foolish when they read them. ”

"That's because they're overfed."

"Although the village is still in sight, I have decided to leave the task of persuading my grandfather's family to move out of Changhe Town."

Li Shang nodded: "Okay." ”

Well done for this dream! Xin Shansi burst out laughing.

Li Shangbing didn't smile: "Lu Yao survived tonight, and he and his uncle were the second families in our village." When we settle down, I'll find a place for him to set up a stall for a long time to collect villagers for the village. ”

"Haha..."Xin Shansi's face turned red with a smile, relieved herself, leaned on Li Shang's shoulder, and looked at the clouds in the sky: "Doctor Li..."

"Huh?"

"Do you remember your family?"

"Dead?" After Li Shang asked, he returned directly: "Remember." ”

Xin Shansi turned her head to look at him, not knowing how to ask. Li Shang curled his lips: "I remember that before the accident, the family was preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. One night, I was dragged out of bed by my mother and thrust into the arms of a subordinate. Then the man carried me and ran quickly. My mother chased me a few steps and told me that I must live well. ”

"So before the accident, the family got the letter in advance?

Li Shang nodded: "Yes." ”

"Do you know what the cause of that catastrophe was?"

"It has something to do with the money my father and mother lent."

"Bad luck?"

"Sort of. The man who borrowed the money used the borrowed money to hang some signs in the Absolute Evil Building. Actually, he didn't know exactly what he was doing: "My father didn't know about it at first, but by the time she found out, all the people on the sign had already been killed." ”

Isn't this a calamity of innocence? Xin Shansi asked again, "What about the man who borrowed the silver?" ”

"I don't know, I was only four years old at the time, but I remember that my father and mother called that person to be the shopkeeper."

"Where are you looking for enemies?"

"Go to the Desperate Tower. If the disaster of the year was really because of the money that my father and mother lent, then I would have found the person who borrowed the money. So far, I've been in contact with the Absolute Evil Building twice. "Revenge is not in a hurry, and he is not only alive for revenge.

"Didn't your father and mother believe it in advance, why didn't they run?" Xin Shan thought that the two of them would only live one, and Dr. Li would not fall into his hands in vain.

"That's what they're looking for."

"I don't know where your home is?"

"Here you are." Li Shang laughed back.

Xin Shansi nodded her head: "The answer is correct." ”

"It's in Tanzhou."

"Huh?" Xin Shansi was surprised: "Then we stayed in Tanzhou for nearly a month, why didn't you mention it?" ”

"There's nothing to mention, that place has been occupied."

"By whom?"

"Wei Fang, the dwarf younger brother of the old monk Fang Kuo of Xuehua Temple."

Xin Shan thought for a while: "Have you checked them?" ”

"It's not Fang Kuo, it's not Wei Fang."

"How do you know?"

"Because Fang Kuo is also looking for the rice shopkeeper who borrowed silver from my father."

"He's been borrowed too?"

"It's not." Li Shang sneered, not without irony: "Fang Kuo has an unknown hobby, writing a script. The shopkeeper is a character in his script, approaching my father, borrowing money from my father, and then using that money to enter the building and kill people... It was all according to what he had written. There was only one copy of that book, and it was placed in the Xizhi Book House in Xiaoran Town, at the foot of Shifeng Mountain. ”

"How do you know that?"

"Four years ago, I met him in Youzhou. He cried to me with a handful of snot and tears, saying that he really didn't know that such a thing would happen, and swore that he would find the rice shopkeeper and give me an explanation. ”

"A Shaolin monk writes a book?"

"Don't be surprised. Twenty years ago, if it weren't for the fact that Fang Kuo had taken the wrong scripture book and brought it into the Daxiong Treasure Hall to be discovered by the Discipline Academy, he would have become an abbot. ”

"And then he was sent down to the Hundred Miles Mountain?"

"Before going to Baili Mountain, he was fined 120 canes by the Shaolin Discipline Institute because the plot of the book was too bloody."

Should! A monk writes a book to destroy the door, and the six roots can be pure? Xin Shansi pouted: "This is what he told you?" ”

"No, it's the monk who said it. Fang Kuo is the uncle of the nymphomaniac. ”

"Then did you tell Fang Kuo about Wei Fang's occupation of your homestead?"

"I don't need to mention this, he must know."

Waiting, Xin Shan pondered about something: "You said that Fang Kuo almost became the host of Shaolin, then his status in Shaolin should not be low." When he saw you, he didn't see that you were poisoned? There are so many Shaolin monks, there must be someone who can help you force the poison out, and he didn't mention it? "All of them died because of the books he wrote.

Li Shang smiled: "I mentioned it, but until I met you, he didn't believe it." ”

"Hypocrisy at its core." Xin Shansi scoffed.

Chapter 57

"Hypocrisy, I don't know, just because of this, I can see clearly, Fang Kuo may feel guilty for me for the killing of the Li family... But not much. Li Shang blinked slightly: "I don't know why, but I'll figure out what happened here sooner or later, and I'll have a sense of how to settle the accounts at that time." ”

"What I hate most is that others have suffered great sins, but some people who have nothing to do with themselves are full of benevolence and righteousness, and they want to be merciful and merciful to let go of their grudges." Xin Shan thought of scolding: "Don't persuade others to be kind without others suffering." If the heart is really right, in the face of injustice, shouldn't we put things on the bright side and make it clear, so that what should be paid back should be repaid? ”

Li Shang agreed: "I have a scale in my heart about the Li family. If it's the victims' closest relatives who destroy me, then... Although my father and mother didn't know about it, because the money came from the Li family, they were not completely innocent. ”

"But sin will not perish." Xin Shansi is not a helper, she is reasonable: "Also, the person who went to the Juesha Building to list the list was not found, and the other party did not even give you a chance to explain, not to mention that you were allowed to find the rice shopkeeper who borrowed the silver at home and figure out the whole thing... If you come up, you will destroy the door, what is the reason for this? ”

"Crooked." Li Shang was very calm: "As far as I know, after the Li family was destroyed, the treasury, the expensive ornaments in the house, my mother's jewelry... It's all emptied. ”

"Speaking of which, it's still for money." Xin Shansi leaned over and rubbed Dr. Li's chin with her forehead: "What else was written in Fang Kuo's book besides destroying the door, and what about the development of the plot after the destruction of the door?" A story always has a protagonist, right? ”

"He didn't say, and I didn't ask." Li Shang smiled lightly.

"Why, is it not necessary?"

"It's not." Li Shang lowered his head and put his mouth on Shansi's forehead: "I don't believe him." ”

The Sinshan didn't understand it again: "If you don't believe him, how can you say that he is not the one who destroyed your house?" ”

"Because in August of the fourth year of Taishun, Yan Fengli was chasing and killing Fang Ling, the lady of Porcelain West. Fang Ling was Wei Fang's child daughter-in-law, but Wei Fang was dragged unmarried because of her own "shortness", and after her parents died, she recognized Fang Ling as her sister and promised her to a family. ”

"Why did Yan Fengli kill Fang Ling?"

"Fang Ling likes porcelain, and also burns porcelain, alias porcelain west, also known as porcelain opera. She likes to depict small dramas on porcelain, and the porcelain sold to the outside world is carved with harmonious and festive scenes, but the ones that are stored in the cellar are different. She engraved the deaths of those whom she had killed on white porcelain... A cabinet full of them. ”

What kind of ghost fetish is this? Xin Shansi asked, "Who did she kill?" ”

"All of them are mothers-in-law who are very charitable to their daughters-in-law." Li Shang said: "On August 18 of the fourth year of Taishun, Yan Fengli killed Fang Ling in Shiyun Mountain. Two hours later, Fang Kuo arrived. Shiyun Mountain is 1,800 miles away from Tanzhou, so when my family was destroyed, Fang Kuo couldn't be in Tanzhou, unless the person who collected Fang Ling's body... It's not Fang Kuo. ”

Calculating the time, Xin Shansi's heart moved: "When did Yan Fengli die?" ”

"November 29, the winter solstice of that year."

"Isn't that not long after Fang Ling was killed?"

"When Fang Kuo collected Fang Ling's body, Yan Fengli was there. Fang Kuo said to himself, Fang Ling deserved it. ”

"Since he deserves it, what is he doing chasing him from Baili Mountain to Shiyun Mountain, just to collect Fang Ling's body?"

"Probably I want to persuade Fang Ling to put down the butcher's knife and take refuge in Buddhism."

Xin Shan pondered and said sarcastically: "When did Buddhism become a safe haven for the devil?" What about Wei Fang, he shouldn't be cowardly, otherwise he won't be able to occupy your homestead? ”

"If Wei Fang really has the ability to gather hundreds of ghosts, Fang Ling will not suffer the sins of his mother-in-law in her husband's house after she gets married."

Xin Shan thought about ... Also. If Wei Fang is capable, he should not let Fang Ling marry again. When there was silence, there was a sudden "woo...", and the two of them couldn't help but be excited, and they both turned their heads to look at the basket.

"For a long time...", Li Shang said softly.

Xin Shansi propped up the seat with both hands and retreated into the carriage: "It's coming, it's coming." When I went to the basket, I saw that the little man's tears had overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and he immediately touched the urine pad, which was hot. Quickly open the rattan basket and get a clean diaper and change it for her.

Li Jiujiu, who had slept well, stopped making trouble as soon as he was comfortable, and after drinking a few sips of milk, it was even more beautiful, and his little feet were buttoned and loosened. Outside the carriage, the traveler laughed, and she was stunned... Listen closely, the little one is very focused. When you can't hear it anymore, keep sucking.

"Do you understand?" Xin Shansi touched the sweat behind the small thing, and took a pu fan over to fan it gently.

After running for nearly an hour, they arrived at the Rhino Horn Pavilion. Half a mile past the Rhino Horn Pavilion, there is a tea house. There were six tables under the tarpaulin of the tea house, and only one was a guest. Li Shang drove the donkey to the shade, and the wind and laughter followed.

A young man with a little lame legs greeted him and beckoned his children to pull grass to feed the donkeys and cows: "A few guest officers, come and sit under the tent and rest." ”

Li Shang jumped off the seat, picked up the girl who was very energetic, and watched Shansi get out of the car before turning around and going under the tarpaulin. The three people sitting at the table in the west corner ate the noodles one bite at a time. Qi Jian took the bun he made yesterday, brought a cloth bag of peaches to be washed, and squeezed his eyebrows at him for a long time as he walked.

"Hah..."Li Jiujiu was not teased for a long time, and happily pointed a knife at the face, but was stopped by her father's finger.

As soon as they sat down, a woman came out with a teapot: "A few guest officers have something to do, we have noodles, rice and dumplings in our shop, and the soup is stewed with chicken that we killed this morning." ”

Li Shang looked at Shansi: "Do you want chicken soup?" ”

"Yes. Boss, what kind of filling do you have for this dumpling? Xin Shansi asked.

"Pork green onions, cabbage oil residue, leek eggs."

"One each of the cabbage oil residue and the pork and green onions." After speaking, Xin Shansi looked at the other four: "You can eat what you want." ”

Qijian asked for chicken noodle soup and went to wash peaches. Lu Yao was very deep today, not as always smiling as in the past, ordered rice and braised chicken legs, and raised his eyes to look at the three people in the opposite corner. Ever since he got out of the donkey cart, he had been keeping an eye on the three men and not glancing at them.

Li Jiujiu lay in the crook of her father's arm, very comfortable, and her little hand grasped one of her father's fingers tightly, and sent it to her mouth again and twice, but to no avail. If it didn't work, she didn't get annoyed and kept trying.

Xin Shansi tugged at her daughter's trouser leg, moved her right ear slightly, and turned her head to the right. On the southern road, an old man with a hunched back led a girl of six or seven years old and walked slowly here. The girl's eyes... It was all the whites of the eyes, and there were no beads. The two of them did not enter the tea house, and paced north step by step.

The three men who were eating noodles on the side stood up at the same time with their chopsticks, paid the money, and strode towards their horses. Li Shang's eyes fell, he glanced at their steps, and then communicated with his daughter: "Why are you so strong just now?" If you want to scratch your face, you can't break the skin? ”

The sound of horses' hooves went away, Lu Yao lowered his head and drank tea, and the three of them moved a little, from eating noodles to putting chopsticks, taking out money, and walking... Rigid and stiff, this can't help but remind him of those puppets in Mayang County.

The ruler sword divided the washed peaches into one point and put three on a cart. Lu Yaozu took off his hat, looked serious, waited for the meal to come, and put his own chicken leg in Lu Yao's bowl: "Eat more." ”
