Chapter 86: Putting things right(1/2)

"Woooooooo..."

Just after dawn, a pitiful howl came.

Originally, the neighbors were all next to each other, but the whole neighborhood exploded when they cried.

"Buzz~"

The wooden door opened, and the woman's face was frighteningly pale. She was obviously awakened by the sound of crying.

But as soon as he opened the door, he saw a purse on top of the door falling at his feet.

Isn’t this your own wallet?

The woman was startled, and after opening her purse, there was still silver dollars inside.

But when the woman took a closer look at the silver coins inside, her expression suddenly turned ugly.

The money in this is exactly the money I lent to Sister Juan, and it has not been touched at all.

She was so sure because she put every silver dollar inside one by one, and the scratches on each silver dollar were clearly visible.

In particular, there is a gap on one of the pieces.

This shows that the money is in Sister Juan's hands and has never been touched.

"Dead people!"

Before she had time to think about it, she heard shouting coming from the alley. The woman put away her purse and hurried over, only to find that it was the home of Old Wu Tou in the west.

Come up and take a look.

The woman couldn't help covering her mouth and pushed back two steps in fear.

The old man Wu in the yard, two beggars, and three others fell to the ground.

The only one alive is Sister Juan.

However, after being carried out of the yard, he was still in a trance and confused.

Not to mention the two beggars.

This old Wutou is a famous bachelor.

He usually has a good temper and is kind to others, but he is always a little unreasonable when selling vegetables.

But when someone wanted to help or something, he would often run over.

Although he was suspected of cheating afterward, if something happens to someone, he is always indispensable.

As time went by, everyone had a good impression of him.

He didn't even care about the shortcomings.

On the contrary, I felt that Mr. Wu was a righteous man.

But Sister Juan doesn't like to chat much in the alley.

Most of the time she was busy farming. Her husband died a few years ago and she never remarried.

It is not easy for a person to raise a daughter alone.

These two people were both honest and responsible people. One died so miserably and the other was so frightened that he went insane.

Let’s talk about the two beggars. Their hands and feet were severed, and their tongues were gone.

He was a beggar to begin with, and he was already in dire straits, and now he even lost his life.

"Oh, who is this, the one who kills a thousand swords? What a cruel person to do such a cruel thing!"

"I'm sorry for the children of Sister Juan's family. Sister Juan has always been honest and kind-hearted. She makes offerings to the Bodhisattva every day and can't even bear to step on ants!"

"Isn't it? It's true that good people don't get rewarded. God has no eyes!"

Everyone was talking about it.

Only she, looking at Sister Juan being carried out from Lao Wu's house, thought of the wallet she picked up today.

For a moment, I just felt a chill, like cold water being poured on my body in waves.

He couldn't help but hug his shoulders with his hands, shivering from the cold.

I believe that as long as you are not a fool, you should understand what is going on.

The mayor and the constable also came.

Let people dispose of the body and make sure to solve the case in the shortest possible time.

Then, in cooperation with the village head, some eggs and steamed buns were delivered to each household to soothe people's hearts.

They were all worthless things, but everyone was happy to hold them in their hands, and the panic in their hearts dissipated a lot.

Even she was the same, carrying a basket of steamed buns and eggs and walking home step by step.

At this time, when he reached the door of his house, he suddenly held on to the wall.

It was as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

Her fear did not come from the dead person she had just seen.

Regarding the death of old man Wu, Sister Hejuan was so frightened that she went crazy.

She no longer cared about it that much.

What really frightened her was the man last night.

He looked so polite, but I thought he was just a young master from some family, a scholar.

But who would have thought that as soon as he turned around, he would kill Old Wu Tou.

If I had failed him last night, then the person who died in the yard today was not me!

The more I thought about it, the more I became afraid, and my heart felt like it was about to jump to my throat.

At this time, she suddenly felt her shoulders sink.

"ah!"

With a scream, all the eggs and steamed buns in his hands fell to the ground.

After turning around in horror, he saw behind him that it was his sister, Sister Tang!

"Oh, you're the one who's been stabbed a thousand times, you scared me to death!"

After complaining, Sister Tang felt embarrassed and helped her pick up the eggs and steamed buns on the floor.

Several eggs were broken, but they were still edible.

As for the dirt on the steamed buns, just wipe it away.

"Xiao Mi Tao, what's the matter with you? I just saw you holding the door and not moving, so I thought you were sick."

Sister Tang is very tall, somewhat fat, with big curly hair, and she looks kind-hearted.

But most of the girls in the Shanghai song and dance hall were dragged into the water by her.

"Oh, you look so bad. You haven't opened a business recently! You are the same. You have no money, and you don't know how to come to see you, Sister Tang. If nothing else, I will definitely need you to eat."

Sister Tang said it very proudly, took out a silver dollar from her arms and put it into her hand.

The woman nodded with moist eyes.

But it's hard to say whether he was moved by Sister Tang or just recovered from the panic.

"Oh, my good sister, please stop crying. In this world, we women are worthless.

If I really meet someone I don't dislike, I will risk my life and get married.

But no, even the rickshaw drivers on the street look down on us.

But if you are lucky enough to meet that military commander who likes you.

Even if you have eight or nine bedrooms, you can still get through it."

Sister Tang had never heard of this call on ordinary days. After talking for a long time today, her eyes rolled around and she whispered in a low voice:

"Go and have something to eat and drink to refresh yourself. I'm here to inform you that we will resume business tonight. The boss also specifically asked me to inform you."

"okay, I get it!"

The woman nodded, and after sending Sister Tang away, she took a silver dollar that Sister Tang gave her.

Take out your wallet and put the money on the table.

Look at the money, and then look at the steamed buns and eggs on the table.

I stood there in a daze for a while.

Then he walked into the kitchen with eggs and steamed buns.

………………

"Spring has arrived and the windows are full of green. The eldest girl is embroidering mandarin ducks under the window. Suddenly a ruthless blow hits the mandarin ducks and beats them aside..."

A song for the four seasons.
