——Yesterday they went to the next door of the Li family and the Liu family, searched for clues, and asked three questions:

1. How did Li Qianggui die?

2. Why did the village close its doors at night after the Li family died?

3. Why does Li have no children?

Old Man Liu answered these questions one by one, and the answers were very detailed, and Shen Mo remembered them very clearly.

But what did Old Lady Liu say at that time?

It seemed like I had said a few words...

Bai Youwei narrowed her eyes and said slowly, "When we first met, the old woman said that the village was too poor, and all those who could walk were left. Those who stayed were the elderly who could not walk and the old bachelor who could not marry a wife.

Since all the girls in the village have married to other villages, the old bachelor in the village can only buy a wife. What about the old bachelor who has no money? Later, the old man also mentioned this point, saying that Li Laizi was so poor that he couldn't marry a wife. In fact, this is a hint that there is something wrong with Li's origin.

Later, we asked Li Laizi how he died, and the old man answered a lot, do you remember what the old woman said? She said, Li, he is a pitiful person.

It was obvious that the person who died was Li Laizi, but she said that Li was pitiful, which shows that Li had suffered a lot from Li Laizi's hands.

There is another last question, the most interesting one.

We asked Li why he had no children. The old man said that Li was young and had a child hurt his body, but the old woman said at that time that... Li was too delicate."

"Fragile..." Shen Mo thought, "The daughter of an ordinary farmer cannot be described as fragile."

Bai Youwei nodded lightly: "After this line, the villagers laughed at Li Laizi for not being able to marry a wife. He was so angry that he turned back a little girl from outside. I guess the original family of Li was not a nobleman, a kind of maid and a woman who followed him, which was difficult to deal with, but it should be a rich family. He had never suffered much since childhood and had a naive and simple personality."

"I am young and my body has not grown well. I have forced a baby to damage my body. This makes sense." Shen Mo thought for a while and said, "It is also possible that Li did not want to give birth and deliberately damaged her body. However, in this way, she must have suffered a lot in the Li family."

"Since it's so hard, why don't you go home?" Bai Youwei couldn't figure it out, "Even if she loses her chastity, she won't try it all at once, right?"

Shen Mo said: "Maybe her family attaches great importance to rules and fame."

Bai Youwei shook her head: "In ancient times, only the upper class paid attention to this. If ordinary people follow this set of rules, they will not be able to live. In fact, even in the most conservative dynasty, it is common to lose their husbands and divorce their wives and remarry them."

For example, the whole world knows that Arab women are conservative, with their whole body covered in only one pair of eyes exposed. But in fact, if you have been to a poorer village in the local area, you will find that the women in the village need to work in the fields and cannot wear them like that. They have to consider how to make a living every day, and they have no time to pay attention to those rules.

Bai Youwei slid forward slowly in the wheelchair and thought carefully.

"It can be stopped for a while, but it can't be stopped for a lifetime... Something must have happened, which led to Li giving up the idea of ​​going home..."

She looked at the old scholar's house in the distance, stopped suddenly, and slowly opened her eyes wide.

"I understand... why can't she go back..."

Shen Mo also stopped and looked at the ancient house in the distance.

I never noticed before that, from a distance, the terrain of the ancient house is much lower than that of the village. There is a huge naturally formed rock standing in front of the main entrance, making the house look like a grave.

"If..." Bai Youwei said softly, "She has an elder brother, or younger brother, who is in high school for science and technology, and has become an official?"
