Chapter 543 Why Don’t You Go Home?

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

1. How did Li Qianggui die?

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

3. Why does Mr. Li have no children?

Old man Liu answered all these questions one by one, and he answered them in detail, and Shen Mo remembered them clearly.

But what did Mrs. Liu say at that time?

It seems that he 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 everyone who could walk had left. The only ones left were the old people who couldn't walk and the old bachelors who couldn't get a wife.

Since all the girls in the village have married to other villages, the old bachelors in the village can only buy wives. What about the old bachelors who have no money? The old man also mentioned this later, saying that Li Lezi was too poor to marry a wife. In fact, this was hinting to us that there was something wrong with Li's origins.

Later, we asked Li Leizi how he died, and the old man gave a lot of answers. Do you remember what the old woman said? She said, Mr. Li is a poor person.

It was clear that the person who died was Li Lezi, but she said that Mrs. Li was pitiful, which shows that Mrs. Li had suffered a lot at the hands of Li Lezi.

There is one last question, which is the most interesting.

We asked Mrs. Li why she had no children. The old man said that Mrs. Li was young and giving birth would hurt her body. But the old woman said... Mrs. Li is too delicate. "

"Delicate..." Shen Mo said thoughtfully, "A daughter from an ordinary farmer's family would not be described as delicate."

Bai Youwei nodded lightly: "Following this line of speculation, people in the village laughed at Li Laizi for not being able to marry a wife. He was so angry that he abducted a little girl from outside. I guess Li's original family was not a high-ranking person, that kind of person. It’s hard to start with someone who has a maid and a wife following him, but he should come from a wealthy family, he hasn’t suffered much since he was a child, and he has an innocent and simple personality.”

"You are young and your body has not grown well. It makes sense that forceful childbirth will damage your body." Shen Mo thought for a while and then said, "It is also possible that Li didn't want to give birth and deliberately damaged his body. But in this way First of all, 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 you lose your virginity, you won't stop trying once, right?"

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

Bai Youwei shook her head: "In ancient times, only the upper class paid attention to this. If ordinary people followed this set of rules, they would not be able to live. In fact, even in the most conservative dynasties, it was common for widows to remarry or divorce their wives to remarry. .”

For example, the whole world knows that Arab women are conservative and cover their whole body with only one eye exposed. But in fact, if you go to a poorer local village, you will find that the women in the village need to work in the fields and there is no way to dress like that every day. You have to think about how to make a living, and you don’t have time to pay attention to those rules.

Bai Youwei slid her wheelchair forward slowly, thinking carefully.

"You can stop it for a while, but you can't stop it for a lifetime... Something must have happened that caused Mr. Li to give up the idea of ​​going home..."

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

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

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

I had never noticed it before, but now looking from a distance, the ancient house is much lower than the village. There is a huge naturally formed rock standing in front of the main entrance, making the house look... like a tomb.

"What if..." Bai Youwei said softly, "She has an older brother, or a younger brother who passed the high school entrance examination and became an official?"
