Chapter 11: Old Grudges
"Oh, no, Teacher Mei," I suddenly remembered something: "Why did I hear that they are friends, they have always been good friends, and they are even together in college, what is going on?" β
"Well, I also noticed it, so I went to ask other teachers and students, and then I learned the details - just after the incident of singing a minor key, not long after, because of the chemical experiment grouping, Tang Qianli and a very handsome young man in the class were in a group, but I didn't expect Ren Xiaoxue to beat her up for this, and secretly called many male classmates to embarrass her..."
"Isn't that their contradiction deeper?" Tang Mu interjected: "I haven't heard of being beaten and becoming good friends!" β
"Really, I didn't expect that not long after being beaten by this beating, Tang Qianli actually took the initiative to approach Ren Xiaoxue and became her little follower, helping her carry her schoolbag, buy snacks, and do hygiene every day... Ren Xiaoxue did whatever she shouted, and even in the end, she actually became Ren Xiaoxue's best friend..."
"This is a master!" Tang Mu was surprised: "Such a young girl has learned the Art of War?" β
I shook my head: "The art of war, it is estimated that it started at this time, and Tang Qianli's appearance began to change... Teacher Mei, is it true that after the relationship between the two of them got closer, Tang Qianli's appearance gradually became beautiful? β
Teacher Mei recalled for a moment, and said in amazement: "Don't you say that I haven't remembered it yet, yes, yes, Tang Qianli has changed a little during that time, it doesn't seem to be too much of an eyesore, and it is getting better and better - after reading it in the first year of junior high school, she and Ren Xiaoxue already look similar, as if... Tang Qianli is a little prettier, but Ren Xiaoxue has become a little ugly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
At this point in the conversation, we had a preliminary understanding of the grievances and hatreds between the two, and no matter how much it was, it was not interesting, so I quickly changed the subject: "I know what you said, Mr. Mei, we also want to ask about Tang Qianli's family - I heard that you have visited the family, can you tell me about it?" β
"I have been to Tang Qianli's house a few times, and the first time was after she was beaten by Ren Xiaoxue, I took a look when I sent her back. The little girl was very strong when she was at school, but when she got home, she couldn't hold it anymore, and suddenly threw herself into ******'s arms, crying and shouting, saying that if people are not beautiful, they must be bullied, and that she wants to be beautiful and beautiful......"
"And what did her mother say?" I hurriedly asked, "Please remember what her parents' expressions looked like at that time!" "It seems a little sad, and a little regretful..."Teacher Mei thought for a while, "Anyway, that expression looks weird, I still wonder, what's going on with this family, and I don't try to persuade the child to just cry."
I understand this, and I guessed correctly, the issue of becoming beautiful is related to Tang Qianli's family!
"And what about his parents? Isn't it good-looking? "When I asked, I felt that it was too much, since Tang Qianli is beautiful now, then his parents are definitely not ugly, who knows that Teacher Mei's answer surprised me!
"The appearance of his parents is very ordinary, and if you say it mildly, you can even say that they are a little ugly," Teacher Mei smiled: "This is also normal, after all, children are like parents, so it is normal to not look good..."
"Where is their home?" I was a little excited, and it felt like touching the threshold of victory: "Let's go to her house immediately," I turned my head and squeezed my eyes at Tang Mu: "Old Tang, the answer will be found immediately!" β
"Hey, I know!" Tang Mu was also very excited: "Dude also guessed!" β
The two of us waited for Teacher Mei with great interest, thinking that as long as we found her parents, we would basically find the secret of her becoming beautiful, but I never thought that Teacher Mei shook her head: "I can't find it!" The place in their house has been demolished, and Qianli's parents died in his third year of junior high school, and now she is the only one left in the family... It seems that people have also stayed in Shudu, and it is rare to come back once a year. β
Tang Mu and I sighed together, what's going on, the clue is broken inexplicably!
After asking for a long time, I always revolved around Tang Qianli and Ren Xiaoxue's childhood, although I didn't say the facts of the case, but everyone guessed it - we must have suspected Tang Qianli of the matter, and when we saw this, we felt that we had brought everything to her family, so I immediately said: "Two, you don't suspect that Tang Qianli kidnapped Ren Xiaoxue to avenge her childhood, right?" Oops, do you think that's possible? β
I frowned and said with a bitter face: "Teacher Mei, don't say it, this matter really has nothing to do with the feud when I was a child, it's just that this matter is too complicated, it's not convenient for me to explain it to you, you just need to know that I need to know a little bit about the situation in Tang Qianli's family..." Teacher Mei pushed her glasses: "Where does she still have a home in Yuqing!" β
At this time, Ms. Mei's husband, who had never spoken, suddenly coughed twice and said, "Uh, or maybe I know about her family..." The three of us looked at him together: "How do you know?" β
"This is what I came across by chance, Xiaomei, do you remember when we visited your student's father after her death? After leaving, you said that you wanted to buy rice in the supermarket near his house by the way, and I was waiting for you outside, at that time, I saw Tang Qianli accompanying an old lady out of the yard, and the old lady scolded while walking... This old lady, do you think it will be Qianli's grandmother or grandmother? β
"No, there are still old people in their family?" Teacher Mei said strangely: "When her mother died, didn't there be no elders in the family, I asked Qianli and said that they had all passed away." β
"Others don't know, but this old lady must be their elder from the tone of her voice!"
This is really another village, I didn't expect her parents to still be there, I immediately asked: "Do you know where this old lady lives?" "Yes," the old man smiled, "I saw it twice later, and I knew that the old woman lived not far away... I can take you there. β
Seeing that the sky was already bright, Tang Mu and I immediately asked the teacher to accompany us - although Teacher Mei had a class in the morning, because it was about his former students, he hurriedly called to transfer the class to the afternoon, and he had to go.
By the way, Ms. Mei's husband is also a teacher, surnamed Zeng, but he teaches not junior high school but university, so let's call him Teacher.
Under the leadership of Mr. Zeng, Mr. Mei, we rushed to the vicinity of the scrap yard on the outskirts of the city, the environment here is not very good, who has to be rich to live here, surrounded by some second-hand furniture, knocking white iron sheets, playing cotton mattresses, and some are farmers' own houses, we walked around for a long time before passing through, and came to a house that looked dilapidated.
"This is it," said Mr. Zeng, "the last time I brought students here to do social research, I saw the old lady coming out of here," and he pushed the car door down as he spoke, "Let's go, it should be inside." β
Teacher Mei also got out of the car, but I didn't-if this was really where the old man of the Tang family lived, no one knew what the situation was inside, and it was not clear whether there was danger or not, it was too risky to let the two teachers go with us, so I hurriedly discussed with Tang Mu and asked him to stay outside with the two teachers, and I went in alone to take a look.
Of course, Tang Mu is not very easy to deal with, where is it so easy for the two teachers to deal with, but he knows the seriousness of the matter, so he stopped him alive or dead, and I didn't care, pushed open the door and rushed into the courtyard.
This is a typical old-fashioned farmhouse courtyard, with the kitchen next to the door when you push the door in, and then two large tiled houses in front, the hall with the bedroom at the back, and the pigsty and two trees on the left, one is a pear tree and the other is also a pear tree.
The pigsty has not had livestock gas for a long time, the pig manure is not fresh, there are some firewood branches or something, but the chicken feces on the ground are still fresh, it looks like there are people, I knocked a few times at the door of the hall: "Hey, is there anyone at home?" β
"Who?" Without shouting twice, the door creaked open, and a slightly bumpy old woman came out, leaning over and squinting at me for a long time: "What, what's going on in the village?" β
"Grandma, I'm not a cadre in the village, I'm from the police station, I'm looking for you to find out about something," I smiled hesitantly: "Can I talk to you?" "No, it's not a village cadre, why are you coming in," the old lady was about to turn around and go back to the house: "My family has nothing to do with the police station..."
"Grandma, I'm here to find out about Tang Qianli's situation!"
As soon as she spoke, she obviously saw the old lady's body tremble, and when she turned her head, her body was no longer arched, her eyes were gone, and even her ears were much more sensitive: "You say, what do you say about Tang Qianli?" β
"Yes, she's your granddaughter, right?" In this case, I will not hide it: "She is now related to a murder, and she has also kidnapped a person - grandma, what I came to visit today to know is about your family's spells that can make people beautiful!" β
As I expected, when the old woman heard me say this, she immediately trembled violently, as if she was greatly frightened, and she couldn't speak clearly: "What, what kind of spell, I, my old woman don't understand..."
If there is no response, I may not be so sure, but this shake speaks for itself: even if the old woman is not Tang Qianli's direct grandmother, she must be an old man, and she must understand the true meaning of this spell - it will definitely not be a good spell, she is afraid that people will come to the door!
I don't have much time, I don't bother to talk nonsense, just pinch a handprint and light it up in front of her: "Old lady, we don't talk outside the door, you know very well what the consequences of this spell are, now that your granddaughter has made it, if you are not afraid of the retribution of the evil of yin virtue to your whole clan, just tell me the truth quickly, otherwise don't say that I can't save her, maybe all of you will have an accident... You know very well what the consequences are, old lady, so I don't need to tell you about the seriousness of this! β
"I, I, I..." The old lady shook her lips and I said a few times, and suddenly tears flowed down her eyes, and she whimpered: "I know, I know it's not a good spell, so the child's father didn't give our son a job, and he was blamed for a lifetime, and then our son gave her this spell because his granddaughter was not wronged at school, and sacrificed himself to make his granddaughter beautiful living - but he knew what happened after this spell, and his father's two lives could only make her beautiful for ten years, if she didn't want to change back later, But you have to rely on human life to feed it! β
Listen, it's really an evil art, not only does it need the life of its own father, but it also has to rely on human blood and human life to support it, and this cause and effect loss is really big enough!
After the old lady's mood stabilized a little, I chatted with her again as a person in the Fa, and finally knew the situation in Tang Qianli's family, and also made this spell a mess, and the first half of the matter was understood.
We have to start from many years ago...... (To be continued.) )
