Chapter 64: Attention

Girl?

Li Qi didn't react for a moment.

However, he thought for half a second and realized that he was talking about the blind old woman.

Uh... it doesn't seem to be a problem. Although Shen Shuibi looks young, her age is estimated to be in the three digits, maybe a thousand years old. It's natural to call her a little girl.

"She is a fortune teller, what's the problem?" Li Qi was a little confused.

Shen Shuibi usually doesn't comment too much on things. This time she suddenly said that there must be something behind her words. It's just that although Li Qi is smart, he has no culture and has read too few books, so he can't hear it.

"The fortune teller is proficient in divination. An ancient book says: 'The fortune teller is in charge of the four signs of the tortoise shell. The first is the square sign, the second is the merit sign, the third is the righteous sign, and the fourth is the bow light. For all divination matters, the fortune teller looks up high, lights a fire to make a tortoise shell, and draws ink. For all divination matters, the fortune teller distinguishes the up and down, left and right, yin and yang of the tortoise shell, and tells the fortune teller who gave the tortoise shell the instructions. Divination is done before sacrifice. If there is a sacrifice, the tortoise shell is brought to the temple. Divination is done before divination to distinguish good and bad luck.'" Shen Shuibi immediately began to recite.

"It means that the fortune teller has the ability to use the tortoise shell for divination. By distinguishing different signs, the fortune teller can distinguish good and bad luck. But Li Qi, look at her family. There is a lot of yin energy in her house. It looks terrible. How can this be a pattern that the fortune teller would make for himself?"

"Besides, you see that he bought animal bones, including your tortoise shell. Maybe the others are just a cover. He just wants to buy the tortoise shell. But, if you ask me, he encountered a bad thing and is ready to put the blame on you." Shen Shuibi said.

"Put the blame on me?" Li Qi frowned.

The art of putting the blame on someone was also mentioned in the book "Zhu" when he read it.

Through some mediums and rituals, the original bad luck, disasters and the like can be transferred to others.

"But he doesn't seem to have any rituals, and I didn't participate. If there must be a medium and way to put the blame on someone, it's only this." Li Qi took out the broken gold in his pocket.

"It should be this, but... I just have a feeling, I can't guarantee it..." Shen Shuibi played with her hair and said with her head down.

Li Qi himself didn't have any feelings, and although it was a bit weird, he didn't think it would be to this extent.

But Shen Shuibi said it was possible...

Li Qi thought that her speculation might not be credible.

But her feeling must be credible!

So he immediately turned his mind and began to consider.

"No matter what, they have money. In the city, the poor can't beat the rich, but they can't just treat it as nothing happened." Li Qi touched his chin and thought of a way.

The simplest, of course, is to spend it, but how to spend it is particular.

Li Qi was not prepared to spend money on innocent passers-by. If he was really the medium of framing, he would appear too despicable and shameless.

In Li Qi's heart, he was not a good person, but he was definitely not a bad person.

He would not harm his life or property safety in order to insist on doing good things, but he would not do things that would harm others and benefit himself, unless that person had a grudge against him.

Under normal circumstances, he was a good person with morals and integrity. He did not mind abiding by the law or doing good things.

He would not do bad things unless he had to.

However, all this was based on the premise that adhering to morality and integrity would not affect his life safety.

If it was the lives of 10,000 people and his own life, Li Qi would choose his own without hesitation.

Therefore, in dealing with this piece of gold that might be risky, Li Qi would not throw it to others because of that little possibility. If he could solve it himself, he would solve it himself.

If he really couldn't solve it, then let's talk about it.

"Let's go buy clothes first, and then talk about it." Li Qi didn't say much, and took Shen Shuibi to buy clothes first.

This time, Li Qi prepared to change into two sets of clothes.

One for traveling, one for meeting people.

He couldn't wear this linen clothes all the time. It was cheap, but he couldn't do anything big. He looked more like a native.

Although he was indeed a poor guy.

In the future, he would definitely do other things, even like other people, participate in large-scale sacrifices, hold religious activities, and contact various people. He must have a good set of clothes.

After a lot of talking and spending a full three thousand coins, he bought a very smart set of cotton clothes for himself and Shen Shuibi. It was mostly cotton, but there was also a layer of satin pattern on the outside. This kind of clothes was generally affordable for middle-class families, and it was probably the best set of clothes in the family.

This kind of clothes was no longer shabby. Even if he wore it out to attend a banquet, it was at most "not so rich".

Li Qi also spent another two hundred coins to buy a set of ordinary, coarse cloth clothes worn by market people. It was not so decent, but not as simple as linen. As for the linen clothes, after living in the mountains and forests and fighting and hunting several times, they were already a little damaged. It was fine to wear them in the wild. Anyway, I didn't feel bad.

Two hundred coins, I felt very painful to spend before, but now, it feels so cheap?

Sure enough, if you have the ability, you can make money easily.

Carefully put away the silk clothes, change the linen clothes, put on the coarse cloth market clothes, and Li Qi's plan to change his clothes was completed.

Silk clothes will only be worn when needed. After all, this one costs 1,500 coins, which is too expensive.

And Shen Shuibi changed into silk clothes directly.

There is no way, she has a pure body and is not stained by dust. The linen clothes she is wearing now, she has not changed or washed them, but they are still new until now!

As long as they are not torn forcibly, her clothes will not get dirty or old no matter how long they are worn, not to mention the wear and tear.

Li Qi couldn't help but sigh, the so-called "no time in the mountains" of the Taoist sect requires this ability to achieve, right?

Otherwise, how can there be no time in the mountains if you eat, drink, defecate, wear, live and travel every day, and are troubled by many mundane matters?

Only when you reach the level of a two-dimensional beautiful girl like Shen Shuibi can you really stay in the mountains for a hundred years and still be fairy-like and handsome.

Li Qi was thinking about this, and Shen Shuibi also changed her clothes and came out.

Then, the tailor who bought clothes widened his eyes.

"Turtle, this girl... is really pretty." The tailor was stunned and couldn't help but muttered.

How fluttering the silk clothes, the light hem follows the wind, looking back and forth with brilliance, breathing like orchid.

In a moment, beauty is everywhere, shining like the sun shining on the roof beams, bright like the bright moon spreading its light, eyes are bright and clear, how beautiful and visible.

She has no makeup, but her eyes and eyebrows are full of spring.

She changed from coarse linen clothes and disheveled hair to a silk dress like now, and combed her hair neatly. When she walked out like this, Shen Shuibi seemed to make the whole tailor shop brighter.

Li Qi slapped his head.

He sighed.

It's broken.
