Chapter 9 Confusing

Qiao Bin said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Li, you are very important to my father. If he doesn't become a big manager, he will be kicked out of the mansion by the bastard named Hu, and our family will be finished."

Li Ye patted his shoulder and said, "Without you, I can't buy antidote. I remember this kindness in my heart, don't worry! I will do my best to help my father."

Qiao Bin left with gratitude. He firmly stuffed the silver to Li Ye. This was originally the money given to Li Ye, how could he take it back?

Li Ye was full of doubts. Who paid back the money for him? Who was that tall man? In his thirties, was it his father of the Tang Dynasty?

Li Ye returned to the yard, and his mother went to deliver the baby today. I don’t know when she will come back. Aunt Mu was sitting in front of the well to wash clothes.

At this time, Li Ye's stomach rumbling, and he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. When meal time came, he hurried into the kitchen, but found that the stove was empty.

"Auntie, don't you have lunch?"

"What nonsense do you kid say! Who can have lunch? Don't you have two meals a day?"

Li Ye scratched his head, "But I'm noon every day."

"That's because you're injured. Your mother wants to supplement your body. You won't even forget how many meals you eat every day!"

It turned out that the Tang Dynasty only ate two meals a day in the morning and evening. Li Ye thought about it and asked again: "What about the rich family?"

"Rich people have no rules and eat when they are hungry. As long as they can afford it, no one cares about eating ten meals a day."

It turns out that it's because of poverty.

Aunt Mu got up and took out a piece of dry cake from the cabinet and handed it to him, "If you are hungry, eat this!"

Li Ye teared half of it to the aunt, and Aunt Mu smiled and waved her hand: "Good boy, Auntie doesn't have the habit of having lunch, so you can eat it quickly!"

She sat down to do laundry again.

Li Ye simply moved a little Hu stool and sat down next to him, and asked while eating cakes: "Auntie, do we have relatives in Chang'an?"

Li Ye thought of what Qiao Bin said in the morning, and someone paid thirty taels of silver for him.

"Your mother said no, why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, I'll just ask, aunt, my grandfather."

When Li Ye turned around, he found that Aunt Mu had already gotten up and went back to the room.

"aunt!"

"I'm going to chant scriptures, I'm very busy. Don't ask me about these!"

Li Ye really has no temper.

He stuffed the last piece of cake into his mouth, but his stomach was still so hungry that he felt uncomfortable. Li Ye took out the silver from his arms and weighed it. A thought flashed through his mind. He had never been to the streets since he came to the Tang Dynasty!

The last time I bought medicine was at night, there were almost no pedestrians on the road, and they hurriedly rushed and noticed nothing.

Why not go to the West Market today to see what’s delicious.

He came to Aunt Mu's room again, and heard the sound of wooden fish knocking inside, and Aunt Mu began to recite scriptures.

"Auntie, I'm going to practice playing ball."

‘Dong!Dong!’ Muyu knocked her twice to indicate that she knew.

Li Ye immediately returned to his room. He had to change his clothes and bring some change. Of course, he could not bring twenty taels of silver out, and he could not even get change even if he had a bowl of noodles.

I am too lazy to change my clothes, but they are all coarse short clothes and old clothes shoes, which are standard for children from poor families.

Li Ye pulled out a small wooden box from under the bed. He discovered the day before yesterday. It should be the cash storage box of his predecessor, which contained more than 100 cents and was packed in a small cloth purse.

He took out his small purse and put twenty taels of silver into the wooden box. After thinking about it, he took out ten taels of silver and put it next to him, maybe he could buy a few books.

At this time, Li Ye suddenly found a foreign object, which really made him stunned. There was a note on the bed. They might have anything in their house, but they wouldn't have paper.

Who has come in?

Li Ye hurriedly got up and went around the yard, but found nothing.

He went back to the room and picked up the note, and saw a sentence written on it, 'Old time, old place!'

Of course, this was not written by Zhang Xiaopang. That guy was illiterate. The words were written vigorously and had strong writing skills. At first glance, they were written by an adult man.

Someone paid thirty taels of silver for himself, and then the note appeared.

Li Ye felt that he was about to solve the mystery. I am afraid that this was the real reason why he went to the temple at the first update of the night before.

The strange appearance of the note, Li Ye no longer had the intention to go to the West Market. After he and Qiao Bin spoke a few words outside, someone entered his room and the aunt was still washing clothes in the yard. Who would this person be?

He came to the She Temple with a club. There was a temple prayer in the She Temple. He was an old drunkard and Taoist priest who was drunk all day long. I don’t know where he got the money to buy wine.

There was an old couple burning paper in the big yard. Li Ye looked around and walked straight to the backyard.

The temple is actually not big, and the courtyard is in the entrance. The main hall is the god of society, the temple of the god of wealth on the left and the Guanyin Temple for praying for children on the right. There were no these two people, but the people needed them, so they appeared.

The room next to the main hall is the temple residence, with a small door next to it leading directly to the backyard.

The backyard is very large, but it is actually a large wasteland, covering an area of ​​four or five acres, close to the river. The old Taoist priest planted a dish here, and there was a well in the corner of the wall.

Li Ye felt that this place was very familiar, and the memories of his predecessor also oozed out little by little. He seemed to have practiced hitting polo in this wasteland.

Not far from the river, he found an abandoned mud statue fixed to the ground. The surface of the mud statue was spotted and his face was broken. It was obvious that it was the result of his long-term swing of the stones. But where did he play ball?

Li Ye discovered a strange thing. If the stone statue was fixed and unable to move, then the position where he swung the ball was actually in the small river. How could it be?

He walked quickly to the riverside. The river water was very shallow, and he couldn't help but frown. Don't expect the slum river to be clean, but there is indeed a pile of stones in the water, which are the stones he practices polo every day.

Are you standing in the water to play ball? How much resistance should you have to hit stones in the water and how much arm strength should you need?

Li Ye understood a little bit that he was not born to be able to lift more than 200 kilograms of heavy objects.

At this moment, Li Ye suddenly looked forward to the mysterious person he had made an appointment to meet in the evening.

Pei Sanniang came back very late. She delivered the baby for someone today and was exhausted. However, she made a lot of money by delivering her baby, so she would have to pay 100 cents when she came to her house. If she gave birth naturally, she would have to give a red envelope of 3 to 500 cents.

If you have a difficult childbirth or a baby dies, you will be kicked out of the house with good luck and you will not have a penny. If you are not lucky, you will be beaten up.

However, there are usually more natural births, and there is no oil or water in the slums. There is almost no fat boy, and Zhang Xiaopang is an exception.

Pei Sanniang is in a good mood. Although she has been tired for a day, she has earned 400 cents. She can buy a few kilograms of mutton for her son tomorrow.

"Mom, I want to tell you something!"

Li Ye wanted to give her twenty taels of silver, but Pei Sanniang was too tired and waved her hand and said, "If you have anything to do, I can't even open my eyes."

"Sanniang, you want to have a meal!" asked Aunt Mu.

"I've eaten it, don't worry about me, I'm going to sleep."

"I'll burn some hot water to wash your feet!"

Pei Sanniang waved her hand and went to bed when she returned to her room without saying a word.

Li Ye sat in the room waiting for time to pass. He was expecting and nervous in his heart, which was really painful.

The first update was from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty slept very early, and they drank at sunset, and they fell asleep as dark, and got up at four:00 pm the next day.

Of course, rich people want to have fun. At this time, nightlife has just begun. Pingkangfang is laughing all night long and the lights are bright.

Li Ye thinks that the old time mentioned on the note is unlikely to be seven o'clock, it should refer to eight o'clock. When everyone talks about the first update, it all refers to eight o'clock in the evening.

As time gradually came to correct, it was almost eight o'clock at night, and Li Ye quietly went out.
