Chapter 28: No Return in the Night

Chen Qian said with a smile, "Are you home?" Xiaoqiang, you are quite heavy, my sister is not tall, will it not grow tall if it goes on like this? ”

Zhang Qiang frowned and said, "Sister, you and I can come down." This is where Sister-in-law Niu gave me soup, and I still wonder, where did Sister-in-law Niu and Uncle Niu go? ”

Chen Qian looked at the hundred-year-old tree about 500 meters away, and only then did she see the general outline, and even the trunk could not be distinguished. She slowly bent down, and Zhang Qiang slowly climbed down.

Chen Qian stood up straight and looked at the tree again, but she still couldn't see clearly.

Chen Qian said with a smile, "Brother Zhang Qiang, are you making fun of your sister, how can you see the liquid dripping from the tree so far away." ”

Zhang Qiang was questioned and a little unhappy. His eyes trickled and he said, "Squat down, I'll tell you a secret." ”

Chen Qian looked at the skinny little boy and squatted down.

Zhang Qiang smiled and put his mouth into Chen Qian's ear and said, "I saw two sparrows playing something (dialect, it's a livestock doing something shameful)"

Chen Qian listened to Xiaoer's ears and turned red for a while. The strange thing is that her skin is too thick, and she is still the same as before. Chen Qian turned her head to look at Zhang Qiang, and said shyly, "You kid, don't be discovered, what you said is true?" ”

Zhang Qiang's eyes rolled from side to side, and said, "If you want to see it, go ahead." In a few moments, they may be flying. ”

Chen Qian said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

Chen Qian and Zhang Qiang came to the bottom of the tree, and sure enough, they saw two sparrows playing in the tree, looking at their excited appearance. Chen Qian's old face turned red.

Chen Qian raised her thumbs. said, "You're amazing." What else? ”

Zhang Qiang was proud, with a smug expression on his face, and said, "The man in black was lying on this branch at that time, and there was the bark he accidentally scratched, you see there." ”

Chen Qian saw that a small piece of bark at the branch was indeed injured by a sharp weapon.

Chen Qian said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have a pair of clairvoyance, brother." It's really the most amazing thing in the world. It's really enviable. ”

Zhang Qiang pretended to be calm, and his heart was that my sister praised me a lot, in fact, I know that there are strange things on your face, and said, "These are nothing, I can see far more than these, but there are some things that will harm others and themselves, so sister, don't tell me that I have special abilities, if I say it, others will not believe it." Okay, let's go back, it's getting dark, my grandma is out of the house, quick. Let's run back. ”

Zhang Qiang ran in front, and Chen Qian quit thinking and chased after him.

The sun has set below the ground, and it seems that it is winter, and the days are short. It turned out that Zhang Qiang's home was a thatched house of some age. Inside there is a fence (a kind of bamboo soaked in water to make it discolored, and finally dried, bundled into a ball, and burned for a longer time. It glowed dimly, and the thatch from the windows of the thatched hut had rotted and fallen off. The couplets on both sides of the gate also leave only one corner.

Zhang Qiang pushed open the courtyard door and pulled Chen Qian into the courtyard. At this moment, a thin old woman with gray hair and a wrinkled face opened the door.

Zhang Qiang raised his head and said to his grandmother, "Grandma, I found a sister on the side of the road, this sister and I had a lot of fun, so I took her home for dinner, grandma, did I do the right thing?" ”

The old woman looked at her grandson, and after a while, she turned to look at Chen Qian.

Chen Qian saluted her grandmother. Said respectfully, "Hello grandma." ”

The old grandmother looked at Chen Qian's figure. said, "Yes, yes, come in." ”

Chen Qian followed her grandmother and the little boy into the house. Inside the room there was a small table with three tapioas on a small plate.

The little boy said, "This sister's name is Song Qian." I don't know if they sent us money. ”

The old grandmother said, "Girl, your name is Song Qian, right?" ”

Chen Qian said, "The little woman's name is Song Qian. ”

Zhang Qiang said, "Grandma sits, and my sister sits too." Time to eat. ”

Chen Qian took out three flatbreads from her arms. There are twenty centimeters, which is the ration that Chen Qian specially prepared for fear that she would be hungry. She put the flatbread on the cassava and said, "Grandma, and Brother Zhang Qiang, you can eat some cakes." ”

Zhang Qiang was very happy, he glanced at his grandmother, and he said, "Sister, you can also eat some cassava, the cassava made by grandma is fragrant." ”

Chen Qian said, "Is it really possible? That's great. Grandma eats. ”

Grandma said, "Okay, good. ”

The three of them ate one of them, one cake and one cassava, and water, and ate them all in one bite.

Not to mention, the cassava is really fragrant, so Chen Qian remembered her hard days over the years.

When they had finished eating, they sat down on their stools. Chen Qian slept on the straw pile when she saw his house, the cotton of the quilt had turned yellow, and Chen Qian's brows were slightly wrinkled.

The old grandmother looked at Chen Qian and said, "Song Qian, you are a foreigner." Listening to what you said, the old woman couldn't hear clearly. ”

Chen Qian said, "Yes. ”

Zhang Qiang looked at Chen Qian's face and said, "Sister Song Qian, your face is so special." ”

Chen Qian looked flustered and said, "What's so special about my face." ”

Zhang Qiang said, "It's nothing. It's just cute. ”

Chen Qian was embarrassed.

。。。

Chen Qian slept at Zhang Qiang's house that night. She slept with Zhang Qiang. She hugged Zhang Qiang like she was holding her younger brother. But his younger brother has already grown up and has his own home, so he no longer has to sleep by himself.

The little boy was whispering to Chen Qian, "Sister Song Qian, I really want to be held by you like this for a few days." ”

Chen Qian said, "You will be content one night, you are a good brother, sleep." ”

The little boy was unhappy and said, "Actually, I can see the little bottle on my sister's face, it is very cute, and it is also very cute now." ”

Chen Qian sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to really have some ability, and you could see the marks on my face." ”

The little boy said, "And my sister has a good paste in her head. ”

Chen Qian said, "Are you changing your way to say I'm stupid?" ”

The boy said, "Found out." ”

Chen Qian said, "You can't use your abilities to do bad things, otherwise my sister won't play with you." ”

The boy said, "What's a bad thing?" ”

Chen Qian said, "Do you want to learn badly?" If you go bad, my sister will spank you. ”

"I don't know what is good or bad, and how can I not make mistakes." ”

Chen Qian thought for a moment and said, "My sister taught you the Three Character Sutra." Once you have learned this, you will be able to know what kind of fruit you will reap from the causes you have sown. ”

The little boy said, "This is not in a hurry, Sister Song Qian, you can talk about what is bad first." ”

Chen Qian said, "Okay, for example, you use your eyes to look at beautiful girls." That's the bad thing, you know. ”

The little boy said, "I know, then I will not be rude in the future." If you want to see it, you only look at Sister Song Qian. Sister, your heart is very beautiful, there is no darkness. ”

Chen Qian gently pinched Zhang Qiang's ear. said, "My sister is also a girl. It's up to you to see your future wife. And look at it within the scope of the law. Look at the heart, you kid, if you are in modern times, you are a B-ultrasound. ”

The little boy said, "Got it." I am an ambitious man, my goal is to grow up quickly, and then do more things that are beneficial to the country and the village as permitted by the law, and then marry a little sister who is as kind as my sister to be my Zhang Qiang's knotted daughter. What are you forced to copy, are you forced to copy books? Zhang Qiang didn't like it. ”

Chen Qian said, "You kid, when your sister is done, she will ask the master for instructions, so that you can enter the school as soon as possible. Zhang Qiang, you're funny, go to sleep. ”

The little boy said, "Thank you, sister, I will try to be literate and strive to win glory for the village, everyone is sleepy, sleep, sister has a good dream." ”

Chen Qian muttered, "This kid is a big ghost, it's a good thing to have lofty ambitions, and my brother has a good dream." ”

。。。

It was late at night, and Zhang Xiu and Chen Xiaotian had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. Zhang Xiu said, "It seems that the adults have already settled in the villagers. ”

Chen Xiaotian looked at the starry sky in the sky and said, "I hope so." ”

Zhang Xiu said, "Brother Youdong, let's go back and rest." ”

Chen Xiaotian said, "Madame will go first." ”

Zhang Xiu said, "Brother, we still have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow, let's rest early." ”

Chen Xiaotian turned his head to look at the ordinary woman in front of him and said, "It's okay." ”

The two returned to the inn together. The lights of the others went out, and they all rested.

Far away in the cold dungeon.

In the corner of a dungeon's cell, a young woman with a weedy face, huddled in a ball. A few days ago, the heavy rain a few days ago, the quilt in the prison was soaked, and she knew how to tremble, she was Wang Yuer.

There are still two days before Wang Yu'er's execution, is she innocent? If he is innocent, who is the murderer, this question made Chen Xiaotian unable to sleep for a long time. Zhang Xiu brought a basin of hot water and put it down at Chen Xiaotian's feet. said, "Childe soak your feet, soak your feet to clear athlete's foot." ”

Chen Xiaotian said, "You give me out." ”

Zhang Xiu pretended to be Bao Xiu and said, "Don't you want to know more news?" ”

Chen Xiaotian said, "Have you gotten any useful news today?" ”

Zhang Xiu said, "You soak your feet first." ”

Chen Xiaotian went in directly with his shoes on.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaotian's long boots are waterproof. He felt like he had taken off his shoes, threw them to the side, and continued to soak his feet.

Zhang Xiu reported on what he saw today.

After a while, I also told what I had seen.

Chen Xiaotian said, "It's Chen Qian's." Now it can be basically concluded that Dieren is very suspicious, and the question now is to prove where his tools were placed, whether Wang Yuer and him have a conspiracy, and whether they are involved. ”

Zhang Xiu said, "Yes. I'm tired, I'm sleeping. But where do I sleep? ”

Chen Xiaotian said, "... Roll off ()〔〕). ”

"This, okay."
