Chapter 1125: Bamboo Forest House
He endured it and didn't move, also because he was afraid that the Li Mansion would not come to divert the tiger from the mountain, although Li Yun was just a civil official, it didn't mean that he didn't notice that someone was following him.
So he held on and didn't move, but his spirit doubled, and he stared at the door for fear of revealing other clues.
After about half an hour, the cook lady appeared from the darkness again, and walked back to Li's mansion with small steps. The night was dark, and Nameless could only see the outline of some things in her basket, but she couldn't see what was inside, and even she alone could only see the general appearance, and she couldn't see it clearly.
He frowned and had a premonition that this cook was tired, and decided to keep an eye on her tomorrow, she was really suspicious, and it was not enough to carefully select and buy some things for half an hour, but could it be that it was a sample ordered by Li Yun, so he hastily picked it for a while? But in this way, half an hour is too long.
He did not return to the inn that night, but slept on the roof.
Sleepless nights.
The winter day dawned late, and he had already opened his eyes before the rooster crowed, because he had not slept all night and seemed to have slept for a while, and there was a nightmare dream, so he opened his eyes in an instant and there was darkness in front of him, and he had to get used to it for a while before he could see the five fingers.
He rolled over and got up, and when he said goodbye, the people below were alert, but they hadn't woken up yet.
He stared at the Li Mansion again, not daring to miss a line.
As soon as the sky was white, the door of the Li Mansion opened, and the frost on the house formed small pieces of ice and fell to the ground as the door opened. One by one, the servants yawned and walked in, standing outside the door but still drowsy, and occasionally Steward Li came out to inspect, and they were immediately caught and sobered up a lot.
It wasn't long before two younger-looking cooks and the same woman from last night came out of the house, carrying baskets in their hands, and at this time it looked like they were going to buy today's dishes.
There's nothing suspicious about it.
The sun gradually rose, he exhaled outward, the mist circled in the air and dissipated after a while, the cold of the early morning was still extremely heavy, he did not have to shrink into a ball of palms, but he also clenched it, and his face was covered with frost.
By midnight, the sun had risen high, and the frost had melted from where Nameless had sit, and water stained the corners of his clothes. But after a while the three women came back together, talking and laughing, and the baskets were full of fruits and vegetables.
He vaguely remembered that many ministers' dishes were delivered by hand, why did the Li Mansion save so much and let the cook go out to purchase? Could it be that just because he is a petty official, Li Yun can be regarded as an honest person?
This is also counterintuitive.
He was thinking about it, and calculated the time, and found that they had been out for nearly an hour, which was similar to yesterday's time limit, but the people who sold firewood were usually placed in the nearby streets early in the morning, so why did they need to go for so long?
It's another strange place, and the three women rejoice when they see each other, and Nameless suddenly discovers that something is wrong.
When they went out, the soles of the three women were flat and clean, and the road was not dirty, and it was impossible to get dirty in the process. But when I came back, the soles of the other two younger shoes were still clean, but the soles of the women last night were stained with some yellow mud, which was clearly printed on the white space next to the soles.
This is like walking on a mountain road, why would a cook with decent manners from a large family go to the mountain road for no reason?
The reason is self-evident.
Nameless seemed to know something, and squatted again until noon, and as he expected, the middle-aged woman came out of the house with a bamboo basket again.
In the past, he had talked about how much it would take to buy fruits and vegetables for a day, and the amount of vegetables in their hands was roughly enough for the day after ordering them early this morning, but why did he go out? If I'm not mistaken, I might have to go again in the evening.
The bamboo basket in his hand was draped with a piece of cloth on it, and it was probably clear whether there was anything nameless in it.
So he jumped over the people who were still squatting below, and followed the cook away.
On weekdays, the bustling streets are a little cold at the moment, and naturally everyone is in a hurry to go home at noon, and there are still a lot of streams in the restaurants and food stalls, but the streets are no longer disturbed, and very few people walk aimlessly on the street, and the cook is abrupt.
Some pork and vegetable vendors did not plan to close their stalls before they were sold out, and they were still waiting until noon for someone to pick up the vegetables in front of them. Everyone else has taken their stalls and prepared to go home, while others have just stayed at the stalls to eat and get ready for a nap.
When the vendors saw the cook come up, they greeted her as if they were familiar with her.
"Sister-in-law Li, why are you hanging out again?"
"Sister-in-law Li has you eaten?"
"Sister-in-law Li, come and take a look, you didn't have to buy it this morning, and now there is only a little left, but it is still tender!"
……
Sister-in-law Li smiled and said: "I've already eaten, it's not that I'm idle and bored in the house, my lord trusts me to let me go out and shop often, maybe I can invent some new dishes." ”
"Yes, yes." The vendors next to him nodded one after another, "Sister-in-law Li's craftsmanship is a must, I didn't expect to go to Lord Li's house, and my husband is still around, so I am lucky." ”
"To each his own pain." Sister-in-law Li said so, but she still had a little joy in her heart.
I only heard the vendor on the other side say again: "No wonder Sister-in-law Li has been going out of the house a lot lately, and she has bought a lot of vegetables. Eh, come on, this dish is fresh today, tender and tender, you don't regret it! ”
"Yo-hee." Sister-in-law Li smiled happily, walked up and said, "It must be tender, otherwise I won't buy it easily." Nonsense Aunt Zhao, how old is your little tiger? ”
"Twelve." Aunt Zhao sighed, "I just happened to go to school, that's why I'm so diligent, otherwise how can I afford it!" ”
"Oh, orphans and widows, it's also bitter for you."
Aunt Zhao's eyes flashed with tears: "You have to let Xiaohu read it to be successful, and there is no way." ”
"Yes." Sister-in-law Li nodded and looked at the dish, "Okay, let me take a look at this dish." ”
One of the two introduced the food, the other bought the food, and after a long period of gossip, it stopped a little, which wasted some time.
When Sister-in-law Li bought vegetables, she lifted the small cloth in the bamboo basket in her hand, and spotted a few small bowls inside, hiding them hidden.
When he saw that she was about to go back, he thought that he was going to go back, but he walked in the direction of the Li Mansion, turned around again in the middle of the middle, and headed towards the west of the city.
To the west of the city, there was a bamboo forest and a mountain, and there was no one around, and it was obvious that it was a place without people, and maybe someone had bought it, and there was no one who even came to cut wood.
