Chapter 345: Peanut Chain
Just now I saw the lively crowd surrounding Zhou Xianyi in the middle, and he only heard his voice but couldn't see him. This time, Mrs. Wu walked out with her great-grandson, and Zhang Ziang immediately found that the boy was wearing a peanut chain on his arm!
When everyone heard this, their eyes fell on Zhou Xianyi, and sure enough, they saw that the boy who was caught by Zhang Ziang was wearing a small silver bracelet on his wrist. The chain is made into the shape of a peanut connected from end to end, and even the texture on the shell is clearly visible, and the handwork is exquisite.
Zhou Xianyi was taken aback by him and pulled his hand hard. But Zhang Ziang's strength was so great that he almost crushed his wrist bones.
"Let go, you let go!" the boy was frightened, struggling desperately, and suddenly opened his mouth to bite him.
At this time, Zhang Ziang would not be polite to him, and with his other hand, he grabbed his neck, dragged him closer, and said viciously: "Say! How can the peanut chain that my daughter wore before her death be on your hand!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a "buzzing" sound around them, like water dripping into a pot of boiling oil, and everyone was shocked!
The chain that the Zhou family kid was wearing was actually the victim's? If the two had never crossed paths before, how could this chain run to him?
Yan Saburo was listening attentively, and there was a sudden itch on his face, as if something was brushing by, and he smelled a little fragrance. He turned his head to see that the girl in red was leaning on the trunk of a tree beside him, and a wisp of green silk was blown by the wind and brushed Yan Saburo's chin.
It got dark so early.
He turned his head uncomfortably, but Chitose didn't have time to pay attention to his reaction.
"Oh, is this the old vine finding a new melon?" she patted him on the shoulder with excitement written on her face, "Come on, keep eating melons!" and it seems to be a heavyweight mine melon, the kind that explodes at the touch of it.
Mrs. Wu was so frightened that she forgot to react for a while. Mrs. Wu rushed over from behind, and when she saw this, she hurriedly broke Zhang Ziang's arm: "Let go, you let go! Yi'er is about to be strangled to death by you!"
Zhou Xianyi was indeed caught in the air by Zhang Ziang, kicking his feet off the ground.
Zhang Ziang's mood was agitated, his strength was extremely great, and he couldn't tell the weight of his hand. If it continues like this, the boy will probably suffocate.
Zhou Dahu reacted from the shock, and hurriedly pry Zhang Ziang's finger to rescue his grandson: "If you have something to say, there must be a misunderstanding!"
Zhang Xianling grabbed his son's shoulder hard, and said in a deep voice: "Let go! Let go in order to ask clearly, and only then can you seek justice for Qingfang!"
Hearing his wife's name, Zhang Ziang's heart trembled, and then he slowly let go of his hand.
Zhou Xianyi could breathe again, and suddenly covered his neck and coughed. Mrs. Wu felt sorry for her grandson, so she protected him behind her, pointed at Zhang Ziang and scolded: "Have you been caught in the door, and you are willing to pinch such a young child! Your wife and daughter fell into the river and drowned, what can it have to do with him!"
Zhang Ziang's forehead was bruised, but he ignored her and stared at Zhou Xianyi: "I have to ask him." ”
Although Zhou Xianyi was ignorant, he was stared at by his red eyes, and he hid behind his great-grandmother, not daring to look at this terrifying man.
"Oh, all calm, calm down!" Mrs. Wu stood up to block his gaze at his grandson, and slowed down her tone, "This chain style is not special, how do you know that it must be owned by Ling Yuan?"
The gifts given by the elders to the children will be specially selected small and cute, peanuts, bells, auspicious cloud locks and lotus cards, which are all common shapes, and the repetition rate is very high.
Zhang Ziang sneered: "If this is really my daughter's, what do you say?"
The Zhou family swallowed their saliva, they were all in a state of confusion, and no one dared to speak up.
The valley where thousands of people had gathered was suddenly quiet, and only the murmuring of the stream knocked on people's hearts.
Zhang Ziang pointed to Zhou Xianyi's hand: "Take it off." ”
Zhou Dahu personally went to pick the chain on his grandson's hand, Zhou Xianyi covered his hand and refused to let go, and his grandfather forcibly twisted his fingers and took off the peanut chain.
"Look at it. Zhang Ziang took the chain and fumbled, touched the two largest silver peanuts, and then opened them with a "click".
These two peanuts are actually hollow, and there are small traps.
"This is a silver chain I made for my daughter, how can I admit my mistake? She has had heart disease since she was a child, so my family asked a famous doctor to make a heart-saving pill and put it in the silver peanut, so that she can carry it with her and take it in time. Then he lifted the silver peanut high and showed it to everyone present, "Everyone, please see, the pill has been dissolved and is still in the silver peanut. ”
The county soldiers raised the lantern, and Yan Saburo saw at a glance that there was a small lump of black pills among the silver peanuts, which was half-dissolved. Muramasa took the silver peanut in his hand, sniffed it twice, and nodded: "There is a medicinal fragrance, it is very strong." ”
He testified that this was no ordinary river mud seeping into the silver peanuts. Everyone thought about it, Wen Qingfang's mother and daughter did fall into the water, and the pills in the silver peanuts were soaked in water, but they couldn't melt away?
This is enough to prove that the silver peanut chain was originally owned by Zhang Ziang's daughter. As for how it got into Zhou Xianyi's hands, it is worth exploring.
Zhou Dahu asked his grandson in a solemn voice: "Where did the bracelet come from, say!"
Grandfather rarely spoke like this, Zhou Xianyi was scared, and hid behind Mrs. Wu.
Old Lady Wu stroked her great-grandson's shoulder and said, "Yi'er, don't be afraid, tell them! Great-grandmother knows that you definitely have nothing to do with that mother and daughter!"
Zhou Xianyi shook his head vigorously: "I don't know!"
Zhang Ziang was furious: "The chain is on your hand, you say you don't know how it came about?"
He took a step forward, and Zhang Xianling immediately stopped him: "Don't be impulsive, this is just a child." "Children react very differently to threats than adults.
Sure enough, he was so frightened, Zhou Xianyi immediately covered his ears and screamed: "I don't know, I don't know!"
In fact, he vaguely knew in his heart that it was not good. Usually, my grandfather and great-grandmother were very powerful in the village, and no one dared to do anything to him, but this fierce red-eyed man in front of him, my grandfather seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Zhou Xianyi was scared.
Before the old lady touched his shoulder, he immediately shrank into a ball, rolled on the ground, and kicked the stones on the beach with a pair of small legs, and the people around him took two steps back.
Chitose looked funny: "He thought it would be okay to shrink up like this?" She knew that there was an ugly creature in the world called an ostrich, and when it was in trouble, it would stick its head into the ground, and Zhou Xianyi had the same thing with it.
"Hmm. Yan Saburo understands the psychology of children far better than her, "Eighty percent of them are usually useful for messing around, and their families will not pursue them again." ”
However, this trick is not easy to use today, and the Zhang family has to ask a question.
Zhang Ziang clenched his fists, but Zhang Xianling said with a cold face: "All stand back." Then he pointed to Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu, who were coaxing the child softly, "You two too, stand back!"
