17. Live and die, die and live
The dye is cheap, so naturally, it also comes with this type of color clothing. The idiom "Big Red and Big Purple" that contains the distinctive meaning is also related to this. Because the dyes of red and purple are very expensive due to the limitations of the times and limited productivity.
However, when Zhan Dong looked at the girl in green, he felt that the girl was not the maid of the Li family.
This girl in green has a melon-shaped face and has a delicate figure, with a sense of beauty like a sick Xi Shi. She is like "Miss Lin", which makes people feel pity. At this time, she stands gracefully and behaves generously. This temperament is not something that a maid called by others can possess.
So why does such a girl wear green clothes that are supposed to be a maid?
Thinking of this, Zhan Donglai replied: "Xiaodao was originally here to find someone. I heard that there was someone named Li here and I was just here. I was about to look for it again."
"So that's the case, then I won't bother the Taoist priest."
Zhan Donglai watched the girl in green leave. He could now be sure that the girl in green is from the Li family, otherwise he would not have said that.
Immediately, he went out and happened to meet the old man. At this time, the old man seemed to have received the reward from the Li family and had a smile on his face.
"Old man." Zhan Donglai went up to say hello.
"It's the Taoist priest!
Zhan Donglai knew that his ability was beginning to take effect, so he didn't indirectly ask directly: "Old man, how many people do Mr. Li's family have?"
The old man subconsciously said, "This old man doesn't know."
"Don't know?" Zhan Donglai was surprised.
The old man had recovered from his senses at this moment. He hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Yes, Taoist priest, follow me, I'll tell you quietly, I've never told anyone about this."
Zhan Donglai followed him immediately, but he didn't go far. The two of them came to the secluded fields. Then the old man said, "Mr. Li's family, if you ask the other people in the village, they would say six people, but I think the old man is five people."
"But because of Miss Die'er?" Zhan Donglai's heart moved.
"The Taoist priest is indeed very powerful!" When the old man heard Zhan Donglai say this, he immediately looked awe-inspiring on his face: "One night, the old man got up and found that the chamber pot was full, so he had to go outside to fall. Just when the old man was about to go back, he saw the Li family suddenly carry a coffin."
"At that time, Mr. Li and his wife, the eldest wife of the Li family, and Mr. Li's two sons were all there. So the old man felt that the one who was lying in the coffin must be the lady Die'er who was lying in bed. Then I was surprised, why didn't the Li family hold a funeral? But I didn't think much about it, and then went back to sleep."
"The next day, the old man, I came back from herding cattle. I heard the village woman gossiping and saying that the Li family would ask Miss Die'er to make medicine soup every day, but suddenly they didn't need to boil it."
"Old man, I'm sure I was right that night. It turns out that Miss Die'er was gone, otherwise why didn't I need to make medicine soup? However, seven days later, Miss Die'er appeared in the Li Mansion again, and she recovered from the serious illness! She was able to get out of bed and walk around." The old man said this and was already very quiet.
There was obviously no one in the world, but the old man still looked afraid of people seeing it.
Zhan Donglai nodded and said that he knew.
However, in this way, isn’t the girl who is going to be buried alive? Because according to what the old man said, the youngest son in Mr. Li’s family is still alive…
wrong!
The old man only talked about two sons, but he didn't talk about the younger son!
So he asked, "Does Mr. Li have two sons?"
"Three, but one young son died young and was buried six days ago."
Zhan Donglai: "..."
Well, it's been six days, so I think that girl is no longer angry.
"The Li family is probably more than one ghost." Zhan Donglai suddenly had this idea in his mind. Then he tried to inquire about the relationship between the Li family and his wife, but the old man knew nothing about it.
"Old man, there is one last problem with the trail."
"Master Xiao, please ask, old man, I have said so much. I think the Taoist Xiao man came from this Li family at the beginning, right?" The old man said, and then laughed first.
Zhan Donglai refused to admit it and just asked, "Did the Li family move from another place?"
"That's right! When the Li family came, they originally relied on knowing the bandits in the green forest, and Old Master Gao, who was rampant in Taojiagou, gave up half of the land, and even gave up his house to Mr. Li. From beginning to end, they didn't dare to let go of a fart!" The old man's tone felt quite refreshed in his tone.
Obviously, the Li family asked Mr. Gao to be a human being with his tail between his legs, which made the old man feel angry.
"Master Little Taoist, aren't you afraid that the old man, will I tell you about this matter from the Li family to Master Li?" The old man asked again at this time.
Zhan Donglai smiled but said nothing.
If the old man really goes to "information", he is actually a little reluctant to ask for it. Because this means he doesn't have to rack his brains to speculate.
"If you go back again this time, you must buy some detective and psychological books to read! There are also history and medicine!" Zhan Donglai immediately made a decision in his mind.
He has already deeply realized his shortcomings.
Then, he went to the residence of the "Old Master Gao".
It was a large courtyard composed of several slightly grand bungalows. Such a courtyard was the only one in Taojiagou.
Zhan Dong took a look at him, and a person came out from inside and drove him away with a wooden stick.
The original "local emperor" in Taojiagou is indeed domineering. There is still a Li family under his control. I really don’t know what the Gao family is like before the Li family came?
Zhan Donglai no longer paid attention to the Gao family because there is no value for exploration there, and it is easy to get beaten if you go there.
Then, Zhan Donglai returned to the Li family.
But as soon as he went back, Zhan Donglai felt something was wrong because the Master Li asked his son to find him. In an instant, Zhan Donglai understood that the old man really had to come and report the news!
Then he met Mr. Li, and as expected, Mr. Li said straight to the point: "I know everything about the Li family. Taoist priest, Li misunderstood you before, and Li is here to compensate you!"
"Master Li, wait, isn't this going to make the Tao last? After all, this is because the Tao is not right or wrong first." Zhan Donglai deliberately followed the words of Master Li.
Hearing the four words "not distinguishing right from wrong", Mr. Li really smiled on his face. Then he looked solemn, bowed to Zhan Donglai, and said, "You are worthy of this gift! Please save Li's life!"
"I hope to hear it carefully!"
"That witch, I want Li to marry Li's daughter!"
