Chapter 571: Passing by

"Sister Zhi'er, that beautiful brother is here again." The little girl in the floral skirt ran into Zhi'er's house and took the steamed bun in Zhi'er's hand with a smile.

"Sister Zhi'er, the steamed buns you made are so fragrant, I have never eaten such fragrant steamed buns."

Every day for breakfast, she has rubbed out a cheeky face, and the little girl is not embarrassed at all, and she gnaws on the steamed buns generously.

Zhi'er smiled and rubbed her head, and then looked outside, and there was really the man standing outside the bamboo fence in the small courtyard. Not only that, but there is another man today.

Really, what do you think of her home! Although they just stood outside and didn't come in, the villagers saw how they would spread her behind their backs!

"Zhi'er......" The old woman's voice sounded in the inner room, accompanied by two coughs.

"Alas, grandmother!" Zhi'er responded, and gently patted the little girl in the floral skirt, "You go play, Hua'er." ”

"Well, thank you, Sister Zhi'er!" Hua'er smiled, revealing that she was missing two front teeth, and turned around and ran away with the steamed bun.

"Grandmother." Zhi'er walked into the inner room, poured a glass of water for the old woman to drink, and helped her pat her back to smooth her down.

"That boy is here again?" The old woman leaned against the bedpost, her eyes slightly closed.

"Well, I'm going to get rid of him." Zhi'er said, got up and walked out.

"Let him go." The old woman grabbed her and looked at her with a gentle smile, "Zhi'er, he is indeed very good-looking, right?" ”

"Grandmother!" Zhi'er blushed and twisted her face away.

"Haha......" the old woman laughed again.

"That son, he mistook me for his sweetheart, what is the name of his sweetheart "Jingjing". Zhi'er said again, a hint of loss flashed in her eyes.

It didn't escape the old woman's eyes.

She thought for a while and said, "Then you go and make it clear to the boy, just say that those little songs you know are all learned from a girl who once stayed in our house, and you don't know it." ”

"Grandmother means that he decided I was his sweetheart because he listened to that little song I sang?" Zhi'er's eyes widened and she touched her face.

Isn't it because she looks like his sweetheart that he was misunderstood?

"Go ahead, if you say so, he'll probably leave." The old woman waved her hand.

"But......" Zhi'er looked at her and stopped, but finally nodded and walked out of the room.

"What? The girl who stayed overnight? ”

When Wei Chi Wumeng heard this, his heart began to sink, and he didn't dare to turn his head to look at Jiang Li's face.

In the past two days, his brother and sister came to stand outside the courtyard almost as soon as dawn, and the girl who was called Zhi'er saw her brother and called her disciple, and she drove people away with a broom and splashed water.

It was the first time he had seen that the elder brother who was better than Pan An would be so unkind to a woman. Because of this, he began to think that this woman was a little junior sister.

Except for the little junior sister, he couldn't think of anyone who was not moved by beauty.

But now, the woman said, it was a girl who was passing by and staying overnight who taught her to sing......

"You're really not pure?" Jiang Li looked at her directly, as if he wanted to see into the depths of her soul.

His eyes were so focused, as if he had magical power, that Zhi'er's heart skipped several beats.

In fact, she was indeed frightened by his Meng Lang's actions that day, and she chased him angrily when she saw him in the past two days. Now that she looked closer, she calmly explained the matter, but she only felt that this man was a little too handsome......

Zhi'er turned his face, didn't dare to look at his eyes, his expression was slightly astringent, and said: "My name is Xing Zhi'er, I grew up in this village since I was a child, my parents died early, and there is only one grandmother who is sick in bed all the year round. ”

The light from his eyes dimmed inch by inch.

In fact, he has also calmed down in the past two days. After observing for two days, I found that this Zhi'er girl did make him feel pure and back because he hummed that song that day, and other times he didn't feel the shadow of pure purity in her at all.

Now that I think about it, it is very likely that what she said is that Jingjing may have passed by and stayed here......

Is he a step too late?

Holding back the pain in his heart, Jiang Li asked again: "Excuse me, does the girl who stayed at your house have white skin and big eyes...... Did she get hurt? Staying for a few days? And then, where did she go? Did she say anything? ”

It was the first time that Wei Chi Wumeng heard Jiang Li say so many words at one time, and when he thought of the missing little junior sister, his heart was sour.

"This, I don't remember much, big eyes? It should be......" This series of questions simply made Xing Zhier's scalp tingle.

"Do you remember, then, your grandmother?" If one person doesn't remember, the other person always remembers, right?

"Grandmother, she is not in good health, and her memory is not as good as before......" Zhi'er hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

"Miss Zhi'er, we want to meet your grandmother." Now, there is no need to leave the mouth, and Wei Chi Wumeng also spoke.

The woman was hesitant, and she looked at him left and right between her words, her eyes wandering, obviously lying. What's more, the little junior sister's eyes are black and white, big and beautiful, and few people who have seen them can't remember them. So why did she lie?

Xing Zhi'er was annoyed, "Ah, grandmother doesn't remember anyway, you go quickly, there is no one you are looking for here!" ”

With a roar, she turned to go back to the house.

He grabbed her arm and turned her back. Zhi'er was frightened, raised his hand and slapped him again!

A red light flashed in Ling Yan's eyes, and he stared at Zhi'er's eyes tightly, "Tell me, are you pure?" ”

And Wei Chi Wumeng on the side covered his mouth in surprise - the senior brother actually used hypnosis! These three indiscriminate spells are taboo!

Forget it, he didn't see it, he didn't see it, he didn't see it.

"I'm not." Zhi'er's raised hand was still raised high, his eyes were empty as if he had lost his soul, and he instinctively answered the words of the leaving.

She's not pure!

The last glimmer of hope in his heart was completely shattered, and he was silent for a moment before he continued: "Where did the woman who stayed overnight go?" ”

"In those days, I was not at home, only my grandmother was at home......" Zhi'er answered all questions, and said in a daze.

She had been gone for a few days, and the woman must have been greeted by her grandmother, right?

"Please take us to your grandmother." Let go of her and be polite.

Xing Zhi'er walked into the house like a puppet, "Okay." ”

Seeing Zhi'er break into her room with two men, the old woman was stunned at first, "Zhi'er? ”

Her granddaughter didn't look at her, but just stood with empty eyes, speechless as if she had lost her soul.

"Mother-in-law, don't panic, we don't have any malicious intent, we just want to know the whereabouts of the woman who stayed at your house." For fear of leaving the forbidden technique, Wei Chi Wumeng stepped forward first.

The old woman suddenly understood, put down her vigilance for the time being, and glanced at Zhi'er worriedly.

Wei Chi Wumeng said: "Mother-in-law, please rest assured, Miss Zhi'er is fine, we will definitely not hurt her." ”

The old woman looked at Jiang Li, and then at Wei Chi Wumeng, and then said slowly: "When the girl was passing by here to stay overnight, Zhi'er happened to go to her cousin's house for a few days, so Zhi'er didn't know about that girl. ”

"Well, mother-in-law, please continue."

Wei Chi had no dreams, and felt that Jiang Li was strangely calm, turned his head to look at his senior brother, and saw a red light flashing in his eyes.

Oh, hey, brother, even the old woman wants to hypnotize?

Wei Chi Wumeng simply didn't bother to speak.

"The girl was covered in blood, and in the middle of the night, she fell at the door of my yard."

As he listened, his pupils constricted.

"I heard the commotion, and I mustered up the courage to go and check it, and I frightened my wife and son. The Buddha said that saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, but fortunately, she is also thin, and she is left with skin and bones. So I dragged her in, fed her some water, and turned out the quilt to cover her, and she came back to life. ”

"After three days of living here, the girl got better, left some money and took her leave, and did not confide in my wife where she was going."

The old woman spoke very slowly, very slowly, and as she got out of bed, she took out a butterfly hairpin from the cupboard in the room, "This is what the girl left behind." ”

He took the butterfly hairpin from the old woman's hand with his trembling hand, "It's a pure thing......

"Ahem...... That girl's eyes are so beautiful, I have never seen such beautiful eyes, old woman. That's right...... She also loves to sing little songs. With that, she sat down at the table and looked at them both gently.

"So, mother-in-law, you learned to sing that song, and Miss Zhi'er also learned it from you?" Wei Chi had no dreams and suddenly realized.

"yes." The old woman was a little embarrassed, and looked at the general again: "I don't know who the two sons are, who is that girl?" ”

"We are her senior brothers, since this is the case, mother-in-law, then we will ......" Wei Chi Wumeng was about to leave.

Jiang Li looked at the old woman intently, the distress in her eyes could not be concealed at all, and she threw out several questions in a row: "Where is her injury?" Is the injury serious? Did she mention us? What else did she say here? What else has been done? Why didn't she contact us? Why didn't she come back? ”

However, without waiting for the old woman to answer, she added another question: "Did she leave here with any money?" ”

The old woman smiled reluctantly, and the smile was more ugly than crying, "Which question should I answer to you first, this son?" ”

"Where's the injury? Is the injury serious? He bowed his head depressedly and looked distracted by the chopsticks on the old woman's table.

"The next day I called for a doctor for her, and he said that she had lost both her blood and her strength, and that ......" the old woman paused and tried to recall, "and that she had been cut off in several places. Tut-tut, my wife has lived for most of her life, and it is the first time she has heard such a thing that has lost her conscience. ”

Jiang Li shook his body violently and closed his eyes in pain.

Suddenly, he felt that the room was suffocating, and his heart seemed to be clenched vigorously, and the pain was excruciating.

Unable to pursue it any longer, he fled from the room that had left him breathless.

"Alas, senior brother, wait for me!"

Wei Chi Wumeng didn't expect him to leave as soon as he said it, and hurriedly apologized to the old woman while untying Zhi'er's hypnosis, and cleaning up the mess left by the senior brother who rarely lost control once.

By the time he chased him out, he was gone.

It's night.

Jiangli finally came back, and Wei Chi Wumeng held his forehead with a headache, "Senior brother, where have you been!" ”

After the disappearance of the little junior sister, the cold but mature and steady senior brother has lost his former demeanor.

The senior brother in front of him is no longer the immortal-like existence that can still make people consciously retreat even in the bustling city, for fear of colliding with him, and now he is just an ordinary man who is worried about the safety of his beloved.

I thought I had finally found the little junior sister, but I didn't expect the little junior sister to just pass by here.

Looking at the appearance of leaving the gods, Wei Chi Wumeng thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let's leave here tonight and continue to search for the neighborhood?" ”

The world is big, if the little sister will pass by some prosperous towns, if she only wanders in these inaccessible villages or mountains, then it is not easy to find.

Jiang Li shook his head. "She lied."

Wei Chi Wumeng said: "How does Senior Brother know?" ”

Jiang didn't want to say more, and said, "Anyway, I'll go again tomorrow." ”

After leaving the farmer's house, he walked around the small village and sneaked into the ancestral hall in the village to check the family tree. Zhi'er's surname is indeed an out-and-out local, and his parents have indeed died one after another. There is only one old grandmother left in the family, and the old grandmother's surname is Wei.

What Granny Wei said today sounds reasonable and evidence-based at first glance, and there is even a butterfly hairpin as proof, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, you will find that it is actually full of loopholes.

First, how can she, an old woman who has been sick in bed all the year round, drag Jingjing into the house?

Second, if the pure injury is really so serious, how can the injury be healed and leave here alone after only three days of recuperation?

Third, although Jingjing likes to sing, but when the injury is so serious, it is not certain whether she is in a coma or asleep for three days.

Fourth, the butterfly hairpin is indeed pure, but if the pure is really to reward the family, why not use silver, but use hairpins?

Even if she fled so far, there was no silver on her body, so why only this hairpin was left? What about the pure bracelet? According to his understanding of Jingjing, she is a silly girl who will repay her with a little favor and wants to take out everything and return it to the other party, how could she only leave this hairpin?

Well, just treat it as a net penniless, and the butterfly hairpin is ignored. So fifth, how to explain that dish of spicy strips!

Granny Wei is not in good health, she definitely can't eat such spicy food, and she has to avoid eating when she is seriously injured, and Xing Zhi'er is not at home......

So, who wants to eat spicy strips? Jingjing only stayed for three days, why did she teach this woman to make spicy strips?

It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense, everything doesn't make sense!

The only possibility is that Granny Wei is lying!

And why did she lie? There are two reasons for this. Or, before leaving, Jingjing explained what she said. Or, it was this Granny Wei and Xing Zhi'er who took advantage of Jingjing's injury and fell into a coma, and they wanted to make money and kill them!

No, he almost forgot a little! Sixth, the chopsticks on Granny Wei's table are not the chopsticks you usually see!

Chopsticks are also known as "chopsticks" or "櫡", from wood, from bamboo, unified into seven inches and six minutes, implying that people have seven emotions and six desires.

But Granny Wei's chopsticks are only a little more than five inches. I want to talk about "Chi Jing" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
