Strange World Survival Manual

"Ms. Li, these books and silver are placed on the table." A maid brought more than twenty books and placed them on the table, with five hundred taels of silver next to them.

"Yes." Li Si responded, and then asked as if he had thought of something, "Are these all the books in the house?"

"Yes, Mr. Li." The maid replied.

"Oh." Li Si heard this, nodded, and waved his hand: "Then you go down, I want to read hard."

After the maid went down, Li Si fell into thinking, and the room fell into silence for a while.

Li Si was thinking about how there were forty or fifty books in his home, and there were only more than twenty books in such a wealthy house. In the memory of the original owner, his parents were just ordinary people. Why did they have a big house in the city?

Suddenly, Li Si felt a sharp pain in his head. This made him cover his head with both hands, inserting his fingers into his hair and pinching his scalp.

"Ah!" A suppressed and painful voice came from the room.

Suddenly, two voices, a man and a woman, sounded in his mind.

"Si'er, daddy has arranged a marriage for you, are you happy or not?"

"Mom brought you a book, so you can study from now on."

"Don't blame your parents. They are both doing it for your own good."

"Our family won't have to live so hard if we marry the Nie family. I'm sorry for you, parents."

"You will marry her when you pass the exam, my poor child."

"Run, run quickly!!!"

The suppressed screams in the room slowly subsided, and Li Si lowered his hands from his head. Only then did he realize that his whole body was soaked with sweat.

He remembered that the original owner's family was very poor when he was young. His father was a bad gambler and his mother was just an ordinary village woman. Things changed at that time. His father told him that after finding him a match, his family could afford to buy a house, and he also started to read books.

He also suddenly remembered the cause of death of the original owner's parents. His parents wanted to break off their engagement with the Nie family, and they had been away for seven days. By the time they came back, they were already dead. And the original owner suddenly forgot about it.

"It turns out that I am able to study well and have a big house at home because I am engaged." A smile appeared on the corner of Li Si's mouth, but this smile was a bit forced and bitter. The original owner was obviously sold by his parents, and the person who sold it was definitely not in a good place. Maybe he had a close relationship or something like that.

But now there is nothing wrong with the original owner. It is now my own business. This marriage is now my own.

"But it's not impossible." A flash of light flashed in Li Si's head, and he suddenly remembered that in the conversation he just remembered, there was a sentence that mentioned that he could get married after he passed the exam.

Then as long as you don't take the imperial examination, or you fail the examination, it will be fine. And the time for the provincial examination is August. And it's only May, and there are still three months left. There is no need to be so hasty or panic at this time. After all, after three months, I may be able to break through the situation easily.

Li Si took a breath and felt comfortable after thinking through his thoughts. Now he was thinking about how to get out of Zhang Mansion alive.

"Dong...dong..." Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which startled Li Si.

"Ms. Li, are you okay?" the maid's voice came from outside the door.

"It's okay, I just fell." Li Si shouted to the maid outside.

"Okay, Mr. Li, you can call me anytime if you need me. My name is Xiaolan." After saying that, the footsteps outside the house became farther and farther.

When there was no more sound, Li Si began to flip through the books on the table. He found that most of these books were books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics.

Li Si also felt that there was nothing to do now, so he picked up a book and started reading. It's strange to say that he was fascinated by it when he saw it. He just felt that the meaning of the scriptures in this book was indeed very subtle. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was even more wonderful. It actually made him calm down and study.

All this is because he has the memory of the original owner, otherwise he would only find it obscure when reading this.

"Boom...boom!"

"Boom...boom!"

"Boom...boom!"

"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of the candle!" Suddenly a sound of a beat came from outside, awakening Li Si from his addiction to reading.

"It's time." Li Si was stunned. He actually read for five or six hours without feeling the passage of time at all.

"Dong dong..." A knock on the door came from outside, and at the same time a woman's voice came: "Ms. Li, this is Xiaolan. The master and his wife have something to go out. I have brought you some food."

"Well, okay, you can bring it in." Li Si responded, and a pretty woman walked in from the door carrying a tray. This woman was the woman who shook Li Si awake before.

"Put the food on the table." Li Si put the books on the table aside, leaving a large blank space just enough to put the tray down.

When Xiaolan put the tray down, Li Si frowned slightly. There were two dishes, one soup, and a bowl of rice on the tray. However, the two dishes and one soup were vegetarian dishes, and there was no trace of meat at all. This is completely different from what we eat at noon. The dozen or so dishes at noon are all meat dishes, but now they are all vegetarian dishes.

"There's something weird." Li Si's heart skipped a beat, and then while Xiaolan was putting the dishes on the table, he quietly took out the Bagua mirror and took a look. But I saw that Xiaolan in the Bagua Mirror was still like a normal person.

"It's not a ghost." Li Si breathed out in his heart, and then asked Xiaolan, "Do you know that Zhang Mansion is haunted?"

When Xiaolan heard Li Si suddenly talk about the haunted Zhang family, her hands shaking the dishes suddenly caused some of the soup to spill out.

"Of course I know this." Xiaolan's face turned pale, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes.

"Then why do you still dare to stay in Zhang's Mansion?" Li Si's question just came to his mind. If this mansion is haunted, why do the people in this mansion still dare to stay in Zhang's mansion, without fear of being killed by ghosts.

"Ms. Li, you are worrying too much." Xiaolan smiled reluctantly, and then said: "The main hauntings in Zhang Mansion are in Qinghua Garden. As long as you don't go to Qinghua Garden, you will be fine."

A look of understanding suddenly appeared in Li Si's eyes, and he smiled and said, "It's okay, you can go out."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll come back later to get the dishes and chopsticks." Xiaolan responded and left.

And Li Si picked up the chopsticks and started eating. At first he was so absorbed in reading that he didn't feel hungry, but now he felt hungry.

And just when Li Si was enjoying his meal, he suddenly felt a little creepy, as if something was staring at him from behind.

Li Si secretly glanced out of the window with his peripheral vision, only to see that the paper on the window had a hole at some point. In the hole, a bloodshot eye met his gaze.
