The Twentieth Story: The Bloodshot Bracelet (1)

Zhao Qiang plans to buy a birthday gift for his wife, but he is strapped for cash, but over the years, he has really not given his wife any decent gifts, so he has been thinking hard about where to find a delicate and inexpensive gift these days?

I heard from a friend that you can find some good things in "Pan Jiayuan", even if it is an imitation thing, ordinary people can't see it. So on the weekend, he went out early and came to the Panjiayuan thrift market.

But as soon as he arrived at Panjiayuan, he found that it had long been crowded with people, and it was as lively as a morning market. Zhao Qiang walked through several shops in a row, and the things in them were so expensive that he was scared to death, and when he opened his mouth, he asked for a hundred and eighty thousand, and he thought: If I have one hundred and eighty thousand, I will still come here? I have already gone to Chow Tai Fook to buy a gold chain for my daughter-in-law!

So he said that he didn't dare to go into the shop anymore, but kept an eye on the stalls outside. But most of them are also asking for a price with their mouths open, and smashing one is one. In this way, he kept walking around the thrift market, and before he knew it, it was afternoon.

Zhao Qiang touched the 800 yuan in his pocket, it seems that he can't buy a gift for his daughter-in-law today, so let's take a look tomorrow. But just as he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly found a thin old man sitting in a remote corner, with a red cloth spread in front of him, and a few inconspicuous things on it.

One of the objects caught Zhao Qiang's attention, it was a white jade bracelet, although he had seen a lot of bracelets in the past half a day, what white jade, green jade, black jade. But the one in front of him is very much in his eyes, this jade bracelet is white and red, like wisps of blood, especially beautiful.

He stepped forward and squatted down and asked the old man, "Uncle, how did you sell this jade bracelet?" ”

The old man raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Qiang, and then said in a dry voice: "Boy, you are quite knowledgeable, this bracelet is blood jade, and I also sell it for others, and I don't bargain for 500 yuan!" ”

Zhao Qiang wanted to reach out and pick up the bracelet to take a look, but the old man slapped his hand away, and said to him in a weird way: "If you want to see the goods, pay the money first, otherwise you will see it badly, who should I go to?" ”

"Uncle, if you don't let me see the goods, how can I buy them?" Zhao Qiang said with a smile.

The old man thought about it, and said to him, "Look at it, there is a weight in your hand." ”

Zhao Qiang nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry." So he carefully picked up the bracelet and put it in front of his eyes to look closely...... Looking closely, Zhao Qiang felt that this bracelet was very good-looking.

It has the characteristics of mutton fat white jade: delicate, bright and warm. The strands of red silk on it show the whiteness and nobility of jade. That's it, it's perfect! Zhao Qiang paid the money to the old man without saying a word.

Before leaving, the old man suddenly said to Zhao Qiang: "This jade bracelet is heavy and yin, it can only be collected, not worn by women." But Zhao Qiang nodded indiscriminately, but he didn't listen to the old man's words at all, at this time, he just wanted to put the jade bracelet in front of his daughter-in-law and make her smile.

Before going home, he didn't forget to buy a beautiful gift box in the store, and sealed the jade bracelet, when he entered the door, Zhao Qiang's daughter-in-law was cooking dinner, and she saw Zhao Qiang come back with a little displeasure on her face and said: "Where did you go to the wild this day, a total of two days off, you are gone for a day without a shadow!" ”

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was a little angry, Zhao Qiang immediately took out the jade bracelet and put it on his hand for his daughter-in-law, who was busy cooking. ”

Zhao Qiang nodded, gently leaned on his daughter-in-law's shoulder and said, "Wife, I haven't given you any decent gifts over the years, but you have never complained about me, tomorrow is your birthday, I must give my daughter-in-law something good as a gift, this jade bracelet took me a whole day to find, how about it?" Do you like it? ”

Zhao Qiang's daughter-in-law nodded happily, looked at the jade bracelet, her eyes were full of like, she thought about it and was about to take it off. Zhao Qiang hurriedly asked, "Why do you want to take it off?" ”

But his daughter-in-law said, "I'm working, don't bumble it." ”

But Zhao Qiang stopped his daughter-in-law's movements with his hand and said to her: "It's okay, just wear it, don't take it off." ”

The daughter-in-law wore this jade bracelet with joy, which was the best gift she had ever seen in her life! Zhao Qiang is also very happy that his daughter-in-law can like this bracelet. Before going to bed at night, my daughter-in-law didn't even watch TV, and kept staring at the bracelet on her hand...... Look, look.

Before going to bed, he asked his daughter-in-law to go to bed, but she said to let Zhao Qiang sleep first, and she would sleep after looking at the jade bracelet for a while. Sleeping until the middle of the night, Zhao Qiang got up to go to the toilet, but found that his daughter-in-law who was sleeping next to him was not in bed, he looked around, and saw that his daughter-in-law had been sitting in front of the dresser, at this time she had a jade bracelet given to him by Zhao Qiang on her left hand, but she was combing her hair with a comb in her right hand. Zhao Qiang shouted: "Wife? What do you do? ”

Zhao Qiang's daughter-in-law slowly turned her head and said, "The slave family is grooming!" ”

Zhao Qiang listened to his daughter-in-law's strange tone, so he also walked over to see what he was doing, how could anyone get up in the middle of the night to comb his hair? But when he walked to the mirror, he saw a woman with a bloody face and no eyes combing her hair inside!

"Ah......" Zhao Qiang's scalp was numb, he screamed in fright, and sat up from the bed, it turned out that the scene just now was just a dream. He touched the cold sweat on his head, and wondered, how could he have such a terrifying dream?

When he got up the next morning, his daughter-in-law got up early as usual to make breakfast for Zhao Qiang, and Zhao Qiang went to work after breakfast, and he didn't pay attention to the nightmare last night at all.

But after his daughter-in-law saw Zhao Qiang go out, she sat alone in front of the dresser, looked at the jade bracelet in her hand and smiled stupidly, then picked up the comb on the dresser and began to comb her hair......

Zhao Qiang came home from work in the evening, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that his daughter-in-law was still cooking. But he felt that something was not right, and he couldn't say it clearly for a while, but he felt that his daughter-in-law was not the same as usual!

When he sat down to eat, he found that the dishes made by his daughter-in-law today were particularly appetizing, so he couldn't wait to eat a big bite, but he just chewed two bites and spit them all out. The daughter-in-law hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Qiangsheng blushed and said, "Daughter-in-law, the dishes you made today are almost killed by the salt sellers, they are too salty!" ”

The daughter-in-law listened to his words and put a mouthful of food in her mouth, but she spit it out as soon as she put it in her mouth. She looked embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry husband, I may have put salt twice." I'm sorry, I'll make you another one, you wait. ”

Zhao Qiang hurriedly grabbed his daughter-in-law who was about to go back to the kitchen to cook another dish and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to do it anymore, we haven't gone out to eat for a long time, yes!" Today, my husband has a treat, let's go eat hot pot, how about it? ”

Zhao Qiang's daughter-in-law thought about it and agreed with a smile. The two went out and came to a hot pot restaurant outside the gate of the community. Zhao Qiang ordered some vegetables for his daughter-in-law when she usually loved, and he ordered a plate of mutton slices.

Who knew that today's daughter-in-law's taste has changed from usual, the green vegetables have not moved at all, just eating the meat in a big mouthful, and sometimes the meat is not fully cooked, so she can't wait to send it to her mouth to eat it.

This made Zhao Qiang's heart frightened, so he hurriedly said to his daughter-in-law: "Wife, you eat slowly, this meat is all yours, you eat slowly, this meat is not cooked yet!" ”

But the more Zhao Qiang said, the faster his daughter-in-law ate, and later she directly grabbed the raw meat on the plate and stuffed it into her mouth...... Not to mention Zhao Qiang, even the diners at the adjacent table were scared!

Zhao Qiang had no choice but to settle the account in a hurry, and then pulled his daughter-in-law and hurriedly walked back. Along the way, his daughter-in-law was still very unhappy, and shouted that she hadn't eaten at all! When he got home, he grabbed his daughter-in-law, looked up and down, and then looked at her very seriously, and then asked her very seriously: "Wife, what's wrong with you?" ”
