Strange World Survival Manual

"Are you serious?" Zhang Yuanwai suddenly paused with his hand holding the pig's ears, and his smile suddenly became a little forced.

"Of course I take it seriously." Li Si said seriously.

At this time, he must have said that he did not have the strength to conquer demons. Although this might offend Zhang Yuanwai, it was better than being forced to stay here by Zhang Yuanwai.

After all, no matter how arrogant this member is, he would not dare to kill himself. The most I can do is force myself to stay here, but I can't force myself to stay here for many days.

In the past, Zhang Yuanwai could deal with slaves at will because he had a bond of sale of the slaves, and he could execute these slaves at will. But Li Si was a scholar who stood out in the imperial examination. He was not a slave and could be disposed of at his will.

"What can we do?" After hearing what Li Si said, Zhang Yuanwai showed a distressed look on his face and sighed a little.

"Why is uncle worried?" Although Li Si knew why Zhang Wei had such an expression, he still asked knowingly.

"Hey, actually, this is a scandal in my family, and I don't want it to be publicized. But since I consider you my uncle and nephew, there's nothing wrong with talking to you." Zhang Yuanwai sighed, snorted coldly and said, "Actually, these are Everything was caused by the jealous wife."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanwai's tone revealed a strong hatred.

Li Si suddenly understood. He thought something was wrong with Zhang Guo at first. There was such a big age difference between this woman and Zhang Yuanwai, how could she be Zhang Yuanwai's first wife.

"I was in love with Miss Guo, and I was ready to take her into our house, but the jealous woman refused to let me take a concubine even if she wanted to die." When he said this, Zhang Yuanwai gritted his teeth, as if he still hated the "jealous woman".

"Of course I will not be coerced by him or her, so I still took my concubine, which is my current wife Guo Qian." As he spoke, Zhang Yuanwai affectionately grabbed Mrs. Zhang Guo's delicate and white hand, and Mrs. Zhang Guo also used her tender hand. He looked at Zhang Yuanwai. There is a feeling of affection for a man and a concubine.

But at this time, Li Si felt Zhang Guo's crystal jade feet rubbing against his calf. Looking at Zhang Yuanwai's head, I felt a little weird.

"What happens after that?" Li Si calmly continued to move the stool back, avoiding the little feet under the table, and continued to ask Zhang Yuanwai.

"After that, the jealous woman jumped into the well and committed suicide." Zhang Yuanwai said this sentence relatively plainly, and it was not his wife who died.

"Oh, why does she want me not to take concubines, just because she gave me a son? Other families have several survivors, but she only gave birth to one for me and she had the nerve to tell me that she would replenish the incense for me. Also. I thought I would not take a concubine if I committed suicide, but I not only took a concubine, I also set her straight and made her a legitimate wife." Zhang Yuanwai sneered.

"Is that ghost her?" Li Si asked.

"That's right." Zhang Yuanwai's expression changed from dull to angry, and he said angrily: "I didn't expect that she would make the family uneasy even after she died. She didn't care about my relationship with her at all."

Li Si sneered in his heart, how could Zhang, a foreign official, have ever cared about his relationship with his wife? He said before that when his ex-wife died, there was no emotion between husband and wife at all.

"Since then, the house has been haunted, and her cries can be heard every night." Zhang Yuanwai sighed, and continued: "Several servants in the house died, all of them falling into the well. I I also reported it to the officials, and more than a dozen police officers came, and several died that night, so the officials stopped caring about it."

"Later, I asked the housekeeper to spread the word. Whoever can subdue this ghost will be given one thousand taels. A few people who were not afraid of death and had no ability came and died that night. Their bodies were blocked in the well, and the slaves went to dig out the bodies. I lost so much energy when I came out."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanwai sneered.

"I wonder if my nephew can do anything?" Having said this, he looked at Li Si hopefully.

Li Si had a look of embarrassment on his face and sighed: "If my uncle asked me to do academic work, I would be fine, but how can I know how to conquer demons?"

"That's right." Zhang Yuanwai nodded, with a look of pity on his face, as if he agreed with Li Si's words.

"Uncle, I also feel sorry for this matter. It's a pity that I don't have the means to slay demons, otherwise I would definitely kill this ghost for you." Li Si had a look of indignation on his face, as if he had something to do with the ghost. It's like sharing a common hatred.

When Zhang Yuanwai saw Li Si acting like this, there was a hint of understanding in his eyes. It seemed that Mr. Li was indeed a cynical person as rumored. He is a gentleman-like figure, but unfortunately he does not know how to conquer demons and eliminate demons, so he is of no use to himself.

However, now that he has entered his Zhang Mansion, it will be difficult to get out. No matter whether Li Si can surrender this ghost or not, he has to surrender. If he cannot surrender, then he will die in Zhang Mansion.

But at this time, Li Si put down the bowl and chopsticks, cupped his hands in front of Zhang Yuanwai and said, "Uncle, I'm full. I'll come to visit you again someday. I also wish you can find someone to destroy that ghost as soon as possible."

Zhang Yuanwai was stunned when he heard what Li Si said. His face gradually turned cold. He placed the bowls and chopsticks heavily on the table and said in a cold voice, "But I, Mr. Zhang, did not treat my nephew well enough?"

"Of course not." Li Si replied quickly.

"Then why are you leaving?"

"Actually, I also think that the environment in your mansion is very good, and the food is good. Unfortunately, I have appointments with some families in the county. Today I have to give lectures to young children. I have to go because I have appointments with people." Li Si's face showed regret. He looked as if he really wanted to stay in the Zhang Mansion.

Hearing Li Si's words, Zhang Yuanwai's expression suddenly softened: "It's a simple matter. I'll ask my servant to go to the county town and let him know. It will be the same if he goes there in a few days. Besides, didn't my nephew say he wanted to borrow books from my house before? ? This time is an opportunity."

Zhang Yuanwai waved to a servant, waited until he came closer and said: "Fan Fu, go and inform me."

"Yes, sir." The servant respectfully accepted the order.

When Li Si saw Zhang Wei's behavior, his heart skipped a beat. This old guy really wasn't ready to let him go. This means that you have to support yourself even if you die.

I also looked through the memories of my predecessor in my mind, and sighed in my heart. My predecessor actually borrowed books from Zhang Mansion. But at that time, the Zhang family could not see his predecessor, he was just a poor scholar. He immediately kicked his predecessor out the door.

My predecessor had no choice but to borrow books from the Zhang Mansion. After all, the world is now a world of knowledge monopoly, and books are basically in the hands of some landlords and some families.

Usually some people have no chance to come into contact with books. There was no printing technology at all in this era, and books were basically copied by hand. So this is why Li Si's predecessor asked to borrow books despite the humiliation of being expelled by Zhang's family.

At this time, a flash of lightning flashed in Li Si's mind, and he suddenly thought of something. The original owner's family was not rich, so why were there forty or fifty books in the study at home?
