"Hey, you little thief is so vicious, even if you say it well, you can't talk well? The woman twisted her waist and entered the hospital, with a green jacket and a red skirt, with a mixture that she couldn't bear to see, but she walked up but was graceful and graceful, with all kinds of styles, "Lonely men and widows, there is no accommodation, but your clothes, I can wash them, bake the fire, and it's not too much trouble... ”

Li Ji hesitated slightly, but he still followed up with the small courtyard, he didn't want to, but this clothes were just wet, and he smelled like that, so he really couldn't go out to meet people.

The yard is not big, a little messy, a big bluestone mill is abruptly placed in the middle of the yard, and a pot of soybeans is soaked in a large wooden basin next to it, and then looking at the wooden barrels and wooden spoons and gauze placed around it, Li Ji is happy in his heart, is this woman a tofu maker?

"Take off your clothes quickly, grind and look around, you little thief still say that you didn't come in to steal?" Although the woman's heart softened, she did not suffer a loss in her mouth.

"What are you stealing? are you stealing the rags in your courtyard to make tofu?" Li Ji said.

"Hey, this little thief is sharp-eyed... What's wrong with making tofu? The tofu made by the old lady is said to be good in all Gukou Town, and even people from the Daomen come to buy it... After taking the clothes handed over by Li Ji, the woman threw them into the wooden basin with a disgusted face, and went to carry water.

"Slow, you, you, I'm afraid that your wooden basin is not for making tofu, how can you bring it to wash my clothes?" Li Ji suddenly thought of this question.

"Fart, you goddamn thief, my mother didn't think your clothes were dirty, you disliked the tub first... Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, this is the laundry, and the one is the tofu maker... Really take that to wash your clothes.,The old lady still thinks you're dirty.。。。 The woman was furious, pointed at Li Ji with a halberd in one hand, and her plump breasts fell together, and Li Ji was dizzy when she saw it.

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it... Li Ji took care of his own losses, but this mother-in-law was really spicy, and she really couldn't afford to provoke her.

The woman's movements are very neat, of course, in Li Ji's opinion, this mother-in-law is perfunctory. The clothes were quickly washed and hung on the straw rope, below which was the firewood from the stove that had been boiled in the morning and had not been completely extinguished. I had the intention to remind the woman not to burn her clothes, but thinking about her sharp mouth, I didn't have this thought.

"Hey, do you have any clothes for men here? Lend me to wear them, there's a lot more to do... Thinking that he couldn't just squat and wait, Li Ji asked.

"Phew, old lady Huanghua girl, how can there be clothes for men in the family... Little thief, are you scolding me for not keeping a woman's way?" the woman opened her mouth with thorns as always.

Li Ji was a little speechless, he found out, and he couldn't be polite when talking to this mother-in-law, "I mean, do you have any clothes left by your father and brother at home... You mother-in-law, can't you talk well?

"All are dead ... The woman didn't say much this time, and after a while, she walked into the house and took out a shabby robe, "Only this one, wear it or not, it's up to you... “

It took Li Ji a lot of effort to put on this robe, and the owner of the robe must have been short and thin, so he actually felt like he was wearing a tights.

"I'll come back in the afternoon to get my clothes... Li Ji said when he walked out of the courtyard gate.

Li Ji's next goal is to find a place where he can read books, which is also what he has to do every time he goes to a new place, books are human friends, from Cixi to Shenfang, it is precisely because of books that he has a window to understand the world, and of course he will not let go of Taniguchi Town. After asking a few townspeople, he quickly found a home that was said to have a rich collection of books.

It's a family, there are no bookstores and bookstores and other facilities in Taniguchi Town, think about it, there is no need to take the imperial examination here, so naturally there is no bookstore business. This family is a two-story wooden building, and there is only one owner, an old man who can't tell his age. The old man on the first floor lives by himself, puts books on the second floor, and borrows a book for a tael of silver, no matter how long you borrow it.

The people of Taniguchi Town are all black-hearted, and Li Ji cursed in his heart as he climbed the gurgling and crumbling stairs. When he ascended to the second floor, he couldn't help but be surprised, it was full of hundreds of books, not a single so-called canon book about the imperial examination, all about the Taoist cultivation of the truth, the ascension of the Xiaju books, of course, there are no secret tips of the exercises, most of them are about the cultivation of real characters, stories, biographies, travels and other miscellaneous things, which are suitable for seekers of his level.

The old man didn't stay much, and after all kinds of selection, Li Ji selected five books, "Xisheng Ji", "Duren Jing", "Panshan Quotations", "Legend of the Immortals", and "Fanghu Wai History", all of which are about how mortals once ascended to the Tao.

These books are not the Taoist Janes he once used, they can't be attached to the top, and they must be read word by word like they usually read books, but fortunately, the number of words in these books is limited, like the longest "History of the Square Pot", which is only more than 90,000 words, and the shortest "Duren Jing", which is only 30,000 words. With the reading speed of a senior bookworm on a certain network in his previous life, these books were only half a day's worth at most.

With the book brief, all that's left is to find a place to read. I really can't afford to go to the teahouse restaurant, I thought about it for a long time, and then turned back to the small courtyard, unwilling to go in and endure the woman's poisonous tongue, so I found a stone pier outside the courtyard gate, and looked at it with relish in the warm late summer sunshine.

I don't know how long it took, I suddenly felt that the sun was dimming in front of me, and when I looked up, I found that the woman was standing in front of me, with a smile on her face. "What's the matter?" he always felt that the woman was smiling unnaturally.

"Well, big brother... So, I heard you say when you came, you want to borrow from your family, right?"

"Yes, could it be that you are so kind that you plan to introduce me to a family?" Li Ji looked at this woman with a changed temperament with some suspicion.

"No, no, it's like this, in fact, there is a guest room in my yard, but it has not been lived in for a long time, and some are not very dry... Now that the big brother has opened his mouth, I'm not an unreasonable person... “

"It's strange, aren't you afraid of lonely men and widows, can you kiss or not?" Li Ji said strangely, how could this woman change so much in a short period of time.

"Where is there so much verbosity, when the old lady is here to open an inn? Come as you want, leave as you want?。。。 If you don't want to stay, take your clothes and leave quickly, and Hugh will bother the old lady again. The woman's original temperament was stimulated by Li Ji's words several times, and she instantly regained her original appearance, turned her head and walked into the courtyard gate.

Li Ji followed in inexplicably, and when he saw the woman's own clothes in his hand, he finally understood the reason for the woman's attitude to change greatly, "Okay, you black-hearted mother-in-law, how long has it been, why has my caftan become short-sleeved? I want to bake it on the stove, but I don't have to be distracted to take care of it, fortunately, I came back early, and I have to become a vest later. . . “

"A thief, but a ragged jacket, a rag that no one picked up when thrown out, is worth so much care?。。。 Anyway, it's all burned, what are you going to do?。。。 Lady, I allow you to borrow it, it is already to give you a big face, don't be a thief. . . “

The two had a lot of fighting, but no one would give in.

"Fifty taels of silver a month, but not a penny less, thief, you need one tael of silver to borrow a book from Li Cripple, is it possible that there is still less of this expense when you get to the old lady?" the woman yelled.

"Crazy woman, you open a black shop, your so-called guest room, no bed and no ceiling and leakage, there is still a donkey tied to the room next to you, you can smell a smell of donkey dung and eggs from afar, I am too expensive to give you thirty taels a month, and fifty taels, do you want money and want to go crazy?" Li Ji roared back.

"Forty-five taels, it can't be less, the thief really doesn't look like a man, how can he care like a woman... “

"Thirty-five taels, no more, what will happen to men?

"Thirty-five taels is not impossible, but the thief has to get up in the morning to feed the little flowers and grass... “

"I'll go ... “。。。
