Wang Kailai and his wife Bai Hui have stayed to work. The host family is kind-hearted and has no airs. As long as they do their job well, the host family treats them like family members and eats together.
Bai Hui brought a pot of tea over, put it gently on the coffee table and said, "Miss Qin, the nutritional tea is ready."
"Aunt Bai, I'll add a big braised fish head for lunch today."
"Lao Wang went to the market early in the morning to buy the freshest fish head. The braised fish head he makes is also excellent. The secret recipe was passed down from his grandfather."
"Uncle Wang's grandfather was already a chef?" Li Mo took a sip of black tea and felt warm and comfortable.
"When I was still alive, I worked in the warlord's house for a few years. Later, the craftsmanship was passed to my father-in-law, and then to Lao Wang. He also learned other cuisines."
"I didn't expect it to be a family tradition. Is the old man in good health?"
"Lao Wang is the youngest in the family. My father-in-law is eighty-four years old. He was injured in an accident when he was a child. Now he has no major problems but minor problems. The doctor said it was the sequelae of childhood. Because he is getting older, the main thing is maintainance."
Bai Hui was wiping the coffee table with a clean cloth.
"Mr. Li, you are knowledgeable and an expert in archaeology. I have a question I want to ask you."
"How can I be considered an archaeological expert? Archeology is a very systematic, directional and academic major. I can only say that I am new to archeology and have some ability and experience in appraising some antiques. But what do you want to ask, Aunt Bai? ?」
Bai Hui stopped and said sheepishly: "Mr. Li, do you believe there are ghosts in the world?"
Li Mo was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
"My father-in-law mentioned this to us several times many years ago. One year, Lao Wang and his grandfather went into the mountains to hunt with several men from the village. We don't know what happened in the mountains. A total of seven people went into the mountains, but Only five people came back. But two of the five people fell into coma, and the other three went crazy, shouting "there is a ghost" in their mouths. "
"Medical conditions were limited at that time, and the five people only lasted for more than a day before they died one after another. That incident caused panic, and even the local government sent people into the mountain to investigate, but in the end the two missing villagers were not found, nor were they found. Find the reason why everyone went crazy and died. Mr. Li, do you think they really saw a ghost?"
Li Mo thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "Judging from the time, the older generation must have had a different worldview from us because they were uneducated at that time. To put it bluntly, people at that time were still very superstitious. They either fell into a coma or went crazy after going into the mountains. I guess they may have inhaled some kind of poisonous gas in the mountains, which made them either comatose after being poisoned, or their brain nerves were affected and caused hallucinations."
"As for the fact that they kept shouting "there is a ghost", maybe what they saw was actually the skeletons of dead people. "
"Poisoned?"
Bai Hui stopped wiping the table, then nodded and said, "From what Mr. Li said, it was really possible that it was due to poisoning. Didn't it take several days to deal with the highly toxic miasma in the Changbai Mountains before raising the treasure? At that time , where in a remote mountain village do you have that kind of knowledge and medical conditions, people are dying without knowing why. However, the altitude of our mountains is not high, and we have never heard of miasma appearing in the mountains."
Li Mo straightened up at this time, looked at her solemnly and asked, "Are you sure there has never been miasma in the mountains?"
"I'm pretty sure that I've lived there for decades and I've never heard of miasma in the mountains."
Qin Sirui stood up from the yoga mat and wiped the sweat on his face with a towel. Seeing Li Mo's thoughtful look, he asked softly: "Xiao Mo, what did you think of?"
"Because I have experienced a lot of things, I can think of some connections. For example, the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the treasures of the Changbai Mountains. There are many skeletons in those treasure caves. They have produced highly toxic gases during hundreds of years of decay. If you are not careful, If you inhale it, you will definitely be poisoned. So before entering the cave to retrieve the treasure, professional troops will go in and clean it first. We will not enter until the air is completely free."
Li Mo walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the snow outside, seeming to think of many possibilities.
"Tell me, did Uncle Wang's grandfather and the others accidentally break into a hidden cave? There were many corpses in that cave, and a very poisonous gas had accumulated, so two people died of poisoning on the spot. , after the remaining five people returned to the village, two more were in a coma due to poisoning, three had hallucinations due to poisoning, and finally all of them died due to poisoning."
Qin Sirui's beautiful eyebrows moved and hesitantly said, "This is very likely."
Bai Hui on the side also agreed with this guess.
"It's just a casual chat. It has been so long. Who knows what happened back then. But after next spring, if I have time, I would like to go there for a walk. Maybe I will make some surprising discoveries."
There is a saying in rural areas that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, but for cities, too much snow will cause great troubles to daily life.
It snowed intermittently for more than ten days.
On this day, Li Mo drove to a natural hot spring resort in the suburbs. Niu Sanpang and others had already arrived. When they saw Li Mo's car appearing, they trotted over.
"You don't need to greet me like this, do you?"
"The main thing we want to do is get the gift you gave us as soon as possible. Brother, where are the thumb rings you selected for us?" Niu Sanpang looked towards his car, looking for the antique thumb rings he longed for. Since the last time he followed Li Mo to participate in the negotiation with the island delegation, he has become famous in the top circles in Kyoto, and no matter where he goes, he will be looked down upon. From then on, he felt more and more that Li Mo's outfit that day was simply too stylish, too temperamental, and too tasteful. But there are some good things that you can't buy just with money, so they are looking forward to what kind of antique the ring ring Li Mo gave them is.
Sun Chengan and Zeng Yi did not dare to speak to Li Mo in such a casual tone. Their eyes were full of expectations, but they stood aside respectfully at this time.
"What can I do without you?" Li Mo took out three well-packed wooden boxes from the passenger seat mat, handed them to the three of them one by one and said with a smile, "Open them and take a look, I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Niu Sanpang quickly opened the wooden box and took out a jade ring inlaid with gold. The gold inlay formed a special pattern, full of exotic customs, and there were several strange symbols engraved on the jade ring.
"Brother, which country is this antique from?"
"Antiques from the Angkor Dynasty, which is now Cambodia's most glorious ancient dynasty six hundred years ago, the eyes of the foreign experts turned red when they saw these ring fingers."
"Brother, you are such a good buddy, thank you." Niu Sanpang put the gold-inlaid jade ring on his left thumb, and immediately felt that his temperament had improved by several levels.
"Thank you Mr. Li."
Sun Cheng'an and Zeng Yi were also extremely excited. This jade ring was like a token given to them by Li Mo. As long as they went out wearing it, any of the dandies in the government circle who dared to be presumptuous with them would be beating up Li Mo. Face?
"Put it away. If you lose it, there will be no second one."
"Brother, let's go for a walk. Let's go to the hot springs. It's such a great time to go to the hot springs."
