Chapter 25

"Last night, I remember that the cup was on the table when I slept. I drank water with it, but you know where the cup is at dawn? Next to the toilet! No wonder I think my mouth tastes strong. Who am I drinking or not?"

Hearing this, Li Bai quickly stepped back and looked at Wu denggui with a look of disgust and made it clear that he would not let him near.

This scene made Li Luoyang recall the hazy things last night. He was funny, but he didn't want to tell the truth. Through the first contact last night, Li Luoyang didn't think Li Bai was a difficult person to deal with. From another point of view, Li Bai is another Li Chengzhen, a technical house. All those who engage in technology often have some differences in personality from ordinary people, which was deeply experienced by the elders of Li Luoyang.

Standing in Wu denggui's position, he is very relieved to hand over Li Luoyang to Li Bai, because he did not ask for leave from the post Cheng of Anning County, that is, his superior. This time he came to Anning county is completely absent without permission, so it's better to go back early. If someone knows that he will be investigated, the Japanese son may not be better.

"Denggui said a lot about you, but it's not important to me. I won't raise idle people. You can stay in this house at ordinary times. Except for the locked room next to the firewood room, you can walk around. Next to my room is the study. If you can read, you can also read. I'll teach you some basic knowledge of calligraphy when I have time. How much you can learn depends on you Your ability. "

Li Luoyang nodded silently. Because Li Bai had no expression, Li Luoyang wouldn't stick his hot face to his cold ass. just like when dealing with Li Cheng, he could only talk with technology when dealing with technology house.

Obviously, Li Bai doesn't want to talk about the house. Li Luoyang also doesn't think it's necessary to talk about those too in-depth topics at the moment. Live first and then understand slowly.

In the twinkling of an eye, three days have passed. In these three days, Li Luoyang hasn't been out of the house at all. His thin body resists the broom and walks around the house with a rag. After sweating, he barely makes the house look clean. Of course, Li Luoyang hasn't taken care of it for the time being. There may be all kinds of small animals hidden in the old dead leaves, He doesn't want to be the object of Lipper's research.

"You are a diligent child, but people still have to read more."

Li Bai's daily work is not tired. At least he goes to point Mao in the morning and evening in the past three days. After all, Anning county is not a big place. It doesn't mean that the public security situation is good enough that there is no murder case, but that most murders don't need Li Bai's hand at all - the murderer is caught at the scene and the murder weapon is next to or in the hands of the murderer. Where does Li Bai need such a case?

Other government officials may also take a part-time job of "corpse beauty", but Li Bai disdains to do such a thing.

"Well, I'll start reading when the house is ready." Li Luoyang holds a big steamed bread in his hand and a bowl of bone soup in front of him. The raw materials are purchased by Li Bai. After Li Luoyang came, he even improved his food.

"It doesn't cost much to be an artist."

"Oh, it's almost enough to support himself." under the bed in Li Luoyang's room, there are gold and silver spindles found from the basement. Although the quantity is not large, it's enough to bring this part alone. He can live a rich life in Anning county. If it weren't for the principle of "not showing his wealth", Li Luoyang would have been able to buy a yard for himself and become a rich man.

"Like the way we eat these two days, we will soon have no money."

That's what I said, but Li Bai drank bowl after bowl of stewed turnip bone soup. In fact, Li Luoyang doesn't know much about cooking. After all, he's only ten years old, and many things are still quite difficult for him.

"The money from the Yamen is not enough to eat?"

"I only have one or two silver a month." Li Bai's face was flat, and he didn't look shy because of his low income. What can one or two silver do in this era? Li Pingwu can buy two mu of good farmland of Li Luoyang's family with one or two silver, but it is in Li Jia village and in Anning county. The best restaurant is to have a meal. Three or five Liang silver may not be enough, but a small family can live by eating bran and porridge every day with one or two silver.

However, according to Li Luoyang's three-day meat eating method, even if Li Bai can purchase relatively cheap ingredients by virtue of his identity, one or two silver is not enough to support half a month. Moreover, a family cannot spend all its income on eating. According to later generations, the Engel index is greater than 100%, no, it is completely negative, More extreme than extreme poverty.

Even if Li Luoyang doesn't "eat and drink", Li Bai's income of one or two silver a month can't raise the Engel index to more than 60%, so he is still in absolute "extreme poverty". This can be seen from Li Bai's clothes - he hasn't changed anything in three days except the "work clothes" issued by the Yamen.

But where did the yard come from?

Li Luoyang has also found many doubts while sweeping in the past three days.

Wu denggui said that the house without the plaque of "Li's house" belonged to Li Bai, but Li Luoyang found a lot of women's articles in the past three days, both old and young. In other words, there were many girls living in the house.

Some furnishings and traces in the main house of Zhongjin show that the family is not only large, but also rich and exquisite. This can also be found in the details of the whole house, such as the stone lion at the gate, the lotus jar in the front yard, the tasteful rockery stacked in the atrium, and the corridor arch, You can't buy these things without enough money.

So the question is, how can a large family disappear without seeing it? Li Bai said that he had moved in for only two years. What caused the family to completely give up such an absolutely luxurious house in Anning county? Is it really haunted?

Wu denggui is an old soldier who retired from the battlefield. It is said that he is not afraid of gods and monsters at all. However, just a cup scared him away. What kind of rumors did he hear? Li Luoyang has been thinking about this problem these days, but he can't inquire because he didn't go out.

But it's not hard to ask. It's a dish to go out and turn left. Turn right and there will be a continuous "business district". There is no doubt about the business consciousness of Wuzhou people. There are basically two or three local high-grade brothel yards in the most famous tea shops, restaurants and inns in Anning county.

This form of gathering to form a commercial port is by no means an invention of modern talents. It can only be said that in this era, no one analyzed and summarized this model, which was formed spontaneously and naturally.
