"I bought this local bacon specially for you to try during the New Year." Guozi had finished arranging the fruits and came over to help Nanny Liang.
Li Mofu expressed his anticipation for the New Year’s Eve dinner, and then continued to open the blind box.
Peanuts, lotus seeds, red beans, mung beans, longan, glutinous rice, walnuts, and wolfberries. This box should be used to make eight-treasure porridge, also known as Laba porridge.
Not interested, next one.
Li Mofu closed the box and opened another one. This time, a smell of wine came out of the box. "It smells good!"
As he said this, Li Mofu stretched out his hand to take out a bottle. At this moment, he found a white object stuffed on the side of the box.
"Sir, do you want to drink? If you do, Guozi will get you a wine glass." Seeing this, Guozi came over and said.
Li Mofu looked at the white object stuck next to the wine bottle for a while, then frowned and reached out to pull it out. "What is this?"
Guozi was stunned for a moment, looked at the box and then at the thing in Li Mofu's hand, "...What is this?"
It's a small doll.
It is wearing white clothes, has black hair and a scarf around its neck?
Li Mofu's frown deepened, and he moved closer to take another closer look.
That's not a scarf, that's a snake.
"I rely on!"
Li Mofu understood something instantly, and immediately threw the things away and stood up. This doll was recreating the scene of someone dying in the pavilion in the backyard!
Guozi quickly stood up and asked, "What's wrong, sir?"
"Where did this wine come from?" Li Mofu clapped his arms nervously, feeling uneasy. "There's something wrong with that doll!"
Guozi also became nervous after hearing this. He picked up the doll on the ground, looked at it twice, and then his face turned ugly.
"What's going on?" Nanny Liang came over quickly. "What doll?"
Guozi handed the doll to Madam Liang and said, "This is what the young master found in the wine box."
Nanny Liang knew about what happened in the backyard. In his spare time, Guozi told Nanny Liang about the "ghost stories in the yard" that Li Mofu told him. Li Mofu was afraid to sleep alone for several days because of this.
So after seeing the doll's appearance clearly, Nanny Liang's expression changed.
However, she said a few words of comfort and left in a hurry, probably to ask the servant who received the wine boxes.
"This wine was ordered by the young master and was stored in the warehouse about half a month ago. I don't know when this doll was put in there..." Guozi murmured as he looked at the information recorded on the box.
Li Mofu sat on a small stool with his chin in his hand, thinking. If the doll was there before the wine boxes entered the warehouse, it could only mean that the person who received the wine boxes did not look carefully.
If the doll was put in after the wine boxes entered the warehouse, it would be difficult to deal with. Someone in their yard might have been bribed.
However, this is not an easy thing to investigate. In ancient times, there were no surveillance and video recordings like in modern times. The most comprehensive method before them was to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, so that the bribed person would not dare to act recklessly again, and then wait for him to reveal his true colors.
Unfortunately, Li Mofu is not good at that kind of thing. He only knows about the plot of the house fight. When it comes to really getting started, he is more confused than anyone else.
It seems that the issue in this yard has not been resolved. What exactly does that person want to do?
Li Mofu couldn't understand it at all.
Li Mofu picked up the doll discarded on the box and squeezed it, suppressing the uneasy feeling in his heart. A crackling sound came from inside.
"It's hay. This doll is made with great care. The thread handling and stitching techniques are very particular." Guozi said as he stood beside him.
Li Mofu pouted and threw it back in disgust, "Do you think there might be some kind of curse in this?"
Guozi also became afraid, "Sir, don't scare me. That thing is not something you can talk about."
Li Mofu certainly knew that this was not something to talk about. There were many descriptions of this plot in novels, and many cannon fodder supporting characters were killed because of this.
If it were modern times, he might just take a look and not take it seriously, after all, it was the Dharma Ending Age at that time.
But it’s different now!
In this world, even pain is shared. What if ghosts really exist?!
