Chapter 63 The Book of Displaced Positions
But who said that the ancients must have played Go?
Mo Xiao touched his forehead, okay, she was wrong.
Phoenix, chess, calligraphy and painting were popular interests and hobbies in the ancient literati community, and they could not include this Licorice Girl who only wanted to be a good maid.
"What do you know?" Mo Xiao really didn't want to read books today, so he settled for the second best and decided to accommodate what the little maid could do. This would always find common interests.
"Turn the rope, do you want to play together?"
"Okay, come with the rope, and play with the rope today."
Licorice was very happy to hear this. This was the first time that the lady was willing to play with her in a flower rope.
But she didn't know that Mo Xiao was complaining in her heart.
In that world, there are things like mobile phones. No matter how boring you are, when you open your phone, you can open various online games, current affairs, and celebrity gossip, and you can spend a day alone without knowing what loneliness is. But now, she can only use playing ropes with the little girl to relieve loneliness.
Although I am playing with simple flower ropes, there are many licorice that Mo Xiao didn’t know before. Mo Xiao felt it was novel, but the more I played, the more fun I felt. I moved my fingers and my mood became more beautiful. Before I knew it, most of the afternoon passed.
Finally, I couldn't even think of a new style of licorice. Later, I just repeated the previous changes. Neither of them was the kind of three-year-old child, so naturally I gradually lost interest.
Then, one of the two finally remembered to study hard and improve every day.
"Miss, Licorice hasn't read a book yet. Otherwise, we can read a book while it's still early to eat?"
Mo Xiao felt that licorice should be encouraged to learn, so she nodded when she was not in the mood to read.
"Well, it's okay, I just happened to be tired of playing. Let's combine work and rest, read a while, wait and have a quiet meal before we can get more appetite."
After collecting the licorice rope, she went to the study to get the book. Today the lady should not move it, so she decided to take all the books she wanted to read to the Arhat bed and read it with her.
"Miss, which book do you want to read? I'll get it for you."
"The third book counted from the window in the first row below, and the cover of the book is painted with a plum blossom."
After a while, Licorice came back, holding a few books in her hand, and as soon as she walked in, she smiled and said, "Miss, you finally made a mistake. The book you mentioned is not the third one, you should count the fourth one."
Licorice placed the plum blossoms on the cover on the small table in front of her.
Mo Xiao looked at it and it was indeed this book, but she remembered that she was placed in the third place.
I read three books in a row last night. Before the break, she put the three books back to the front of the bookshelf. Because I had read this book for a while and I didn’t finish reading it, I paid attention to it. And even if I remember it wrongly, it should be the second or first place. How could I go to the fourth book?
"Licorice, you didn't lie to me, is it really the fourth book?"
"Yes, Licorice can't say this on purpose just because she wanted to catch the lady. Miss, who do you think of Licorice?" Licorice twisted her waist and refused to do it.
"Then have you moved the books on the bookshelf again last night?"
"No, after reading the book last night, even my book was put back to the bookshelf by the lady, and I had never moved it."
"That's strange. Mother Li is illiterate. Even if she comes to the room to clean, she will not move the books on the bookshelf. If Uncle Liu wants to read the books, he will not take them directly by himself. He will first tell me to give them to him by me. If only these four people who can enter the inner courtyard did not move the books, would it be that a thief came to the clinic?" Mo Xiao was shocked.
"It's impossible. If a thief wants to steal, he will go to the warehouse or the lady's room to rummage the boxes and cages. How could he go to the study to rummage books? The books are not worth much money." Licorice said she didn't believe it.
"So I find it strange, but you and I didn't move, but the book changed its position. Someone else must have moved it."
Mo Xiao remembered the book on the head of the Arhat bed just now, and his hand was stretched longer than usual before he could reach it. He didn't think anything at that time, but now thinking about it, the location of the book has been moved.
Who is interested in books in the clinic?
Kong Yiji, in Lu Xun's writing, said that stealing books is not considered stealing, but if you want to steal other people's patents and unique skills, then you are not an ordinary book thief.
It seems that the thief has been staring at the clinic for a long time before taking advantage of the fact that everyone in the clinic has gone out today and climbed over the wall to steal things quietly. But he is not a cautious person yet, and he has not even accurately restored the location of the book.
Mo Xiao was worried before that the technology of Chonglou's wall-surrounding the inner courtyard would make the inner courtyard unsafe. Now it seems that the inner courtyard has never been safe.
Someone was actually looking for books like her. If she guessed correctly, the thief and she were looking for should be the same book.
Don't ask about the instruction manual of that set of tools.
The cloth bag of ordinary doctors only has silver needles at most, while Mo Wen's small cloth bag has tweezers, scissors, knifes, and embroidered needlework. This shows that Mo Wen is not an ordinary doctor.
If you have equipment, you must have an instruction manual.
Surgery is common in the world of Mo Xiao, but now in this world, everyone still shouts that their bodies and hair should not be damaged. Surgery is considered a magic trick and is ruthlessly cut off.
But not everyone is like this.
Some people secretly worked hard.
Some people must also want to steal other people's research results for themselves.
However, from the analysis previously described by Manager Liu and the people in the clinic, Mo Wen has never shown it even though he has unique skills.
Maybe it was because there was no chance, maybe it was because it was deliberately hiding, maybe it was because of other reasons.
Mo Xiao suddenly realized that the thief suddenly appeared in the clinic turned out to be her provoked.
Didn’t we use those tools to save Gouwa that time? Although she used words to blur the situation, those who are interested must be able to see the trick.
"Miss, you are distracted from reading books." Licorice read the book for a while, and saw that the lady on the side was still empty and didn't know what she was thinking, so she spoke to remind her.
"No, Miss, be serious, read your own books yourself." Mo Xiao immediately shamelessly refuted.
"Oh, is that lady holding the book to train her eyesight?" Licorice pointed to the book in Mo Xiao's hand.
Mo Xiao lowered his head, that's not the case. She kept holding this book in her hand, and she hadn't read a word at all.
"Licorice..." Mo Xiao gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Oh, Licorice knew that she was wrong. She shouldn't reveal the lady's shortcomings, nor should she point out the evidence to embarrass the lady." Licorice hugged her head with her hands and begged for mercy.
Don’t laugh at the same time. Who will take care of this little girl? She is so brave that she will ride on her lady’s head and shit.
Mo Xiao was about to call Feishu, but he heard footsteps sounding outside the window.
