Maybe it's to show that he's being silenced or prevented from speaking. Could be part of a mystery or a symbolic image.

Maybe it's a way for the witch to protect herself from seeing something dangerous or evil.

There were many reasons for Li Chengqian's fall out. First of all, he was dissatisfied with his status and was worried that he would be deposed as Crown Prince. He was worried that Li Shi Min would depose him or let his brother Li Tai inherit the throne. In addition, he was also dissatisfied with Li Shimin's teachings and discipline. He was dissatisfied with Li Shiming's execution of his pets, and he also felt that his treatment was too different from his younger siblings. Secondly, he had different opinions on his father Li Shimin's policies and decisions, especially his attitude towards the imperial clan and meritorious officials. Moreover, he had been influenced by bad advisers who had urged him to take action to preserve his power. In general, the reason why Li Chengqian turned against him was because he was dissatisfied and afraid of his position, as well as dissatisfied with his father's policies and influenced by bad advisors.

Brothers could turn against each other for the following reasons: 1. ** Relationship of interests **: For example, there is a conflict between enjoying the grace of the previous generation (property distribution, etc.) and taking care of the issue of retirement. It was difficult for parents to be fair and just. For example, the one with better financial conditions might get more care from his parents, which could easily lead to dissatisfaction and conflict between brothers. 2. [Overly Understanding]: Brothers who are too familiar with each other may have major conflicts over some small matters. 3. ** Too close **: In rural areas, brothers often separate from the same family, and the separation may be due to conflicts. This kind of conflict may not only be between brothers, but also between parents and brothers. Close contact can easily lead to friction. 4. ** Low education level **: Education can teach people the way of life. Low education level may cause brothers to not know how to deal with each other's relationships, thus easily falling out. 5. ** Parents are biased **: Parents cannot treat their children equally. For example, if there is a bias in the distribution of property and the degree of care, it may cause the neglected party to be cold and the favored party to become overbearing and selfish, which may lead to the conflict between brothers. 6. ** Sisters-in-law conflict **: If the brothers 'wives don't get along well, such as conflicts over trivial matters such as children bumping into each other, the sisters-in-law will incite each other's husbands, which will lead to the emergence or upgrade of conflicts between the brothers. 7. Family property struggle: In the countryside, it was mainly for the property of homesteads, fields, forests, etc., or when there were differences in the distribution of common property such as construction vehicles, it would also cause brothers to fall out. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

There may be some prejudice against the use of simple herbal medicines for the following reasons: From a traditional point of view, some herbal medicines might be related to unlucky symbols. For example, chrysanthemums. Because white chrysanthemums were often used to sweep graves or worship ancestors, some people regarded them as "flowers dedicated to the dead." Thus, they had a prejudice against chrysanthemums as medicinal plants and mistakenly associated them with inauspicious things, even though chrysanthemums had many positive meanings and different colors of chrysanthemums had different uses. In terms of plant characteristics, plants like the green radish belonged to the yin category, also known as the "Devil's Vine." They liked hot and humid environments and did not like direct sunlight. Some people regarded this characteristic as unlucky and had prejudice against its medicinal use. They ignored its value in purifying the air and other aspects, as well as its possible medicinal value. In terms of safety, although some plants had medicinal value, they were also toxic. For example, Rauvolfia vomitoria had white milk on its broken leaves and was poisonous. Although it was the raw material of the depressurizing medicine, due to its toxicity and the difficulty of controlling the dosage, people might have prejudice against the use of this plant medicine. They were more inclined to the precise and quantitative way of medicine in modern medicine. In addition, the World Health Organization had previously stated that "people should not use traditional herbal medicines"(although it was later deleted because the statement was too broad). This broad view may have affected people's views on simple herbal medicines to a certain extent, leading to prejudice. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Parents might object to food and beverage for the following reasons: 1. Worries about economic returns: They were not sure how much money they could earn from food and beverage, and were worried about losses after investment. After all, there were risks in doing business. For example, when the market was bad, they might lose all their money. The money they had painstakingly saved might be prepared for their children to buy a house, get married, and so on. They were not willing to invest all of it in food and beverage. 2. Difficulty of starting a business: Starting a business seems glamorous, but in fact, it requires a variety of abilities, such as market vision, relationship balance, resource mastery, and the spirit of hard work. It is not easy, and the success rate of starting a business is low. Many parents do not want their children to take risks. 3. The pressure of the food and beverage industry itself: The food and beverage industry is open all year round and faces various pressures. For example, it needs to deal with external disturbances such as local ruffians and urban management. Sometimes, it has to endure the inappropriate behavior of customers. Moreover, during the off-season, the income may only be enough to maintain food and clothing. 4. Limitations in thinking and cognition: Some parents have traditional thinking and cognition. They think that as long as they make good taste and service, it is enough. They don't understand the importance of using platforms such as TikTok for publicity and promotion. They feel that there is no need to do these "fancy" things in the food and beverage industry. It is better to focus on receiving guests. 5. For the sake of protecting their children, parents understood the hardships and risks of starting a business and hoped that their children could live a stable and steady life. They might think that their children were not stable and were not suitable for the restaurant business; or they might think that their family did not have enough savings to support their children's business and that their children's ideas were not mature enough; or they had seen too many examples of failed businesses and hoped that their children could find a stable job. In addition, if the family was relatively rich and the parents doted on their children, they would be afraid that their children would suffer and not let them cook. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

It could be that he's waiting for someone and has nothing else to do but lean against the wall. Or perhaps he's feeling down and using the wall for support.

On rainy days, the ground may be flooded due to the uneven surface of the ground. Water will naturally flow to low-lying areas to form a flood phenomenon. At the same time, the planning and design of the urban drainage system was not good. If the drainage system was not designed reasonably, the installation or maintenance of sewers and rainwater buckets were not appropriate, resulting in the blockage of sewers or rainwater pipes or poor drainage, it would also cause water to flow back from the ground. In addition, if the water in the soil under the foundation surges, the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is large, resulting in condensation of water droplets on the surface of the object after the intersection of hot and cold, and the air humidity is high (such as the rainy season or the south wind), the ground may also be flooded on rainy days. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

I don't think it is. Usually, movies or stories like 'Shut In' are crafted from the imagination of the writers and filmmakers. They might draw inspiration from various elements but aren't based on real events.
