Chapter 59
Zhou Xian was a little embarrassed, but fortunately the door suddenly opened, and a man wearing a hood squeezed in and tied the door.
She looked about 30 or 40 years old, with a horse face, her eyebrows were particularly thick, and a conspicuous mole on the corner of her mouth, which looked like a very difficult person to mess with.
As soon as she entered the door, she took out three incense sticks from her arms, walked to Ruan Ying, and found a crack in the ground, glanced at the body of the Ruan clan leader Ruan, and stood a little disgusted.
The body was covered with tight tactile slits, and she could only see the faces of two people.
"My name is Zhang Chun. The one who died last year was my real girl Zhang Tang. Both of us married from Zhangjiazhuang, which is thirty miles east of here. I happened to be away on the day when Xiaotang disappeared. Thanks to Ruan Ying, someone pretended to be buried."
She said, sighing, her lips squirmed for a moment, and glanced at the old patriarch again, as if confirming that he would not come alive, and said, "Ji Zizi, what you said in front of the screen wall just now reminded me of an old thing."
"At that time, I had just given birth to a boy just a few years after I married into Ruanjiazhuang. People from Ruanjiazhuang believed that after eating Zihe Cart, that is, the coat of children, would be able to live long. Therefore, every household gave birth to a child, the coat of the coat would be made and taken to the elderly in the family."
"I felt disgusted at first, but everyone is like this... I can't say anything."
"I calculated that it must have been eighteen years ago... That's right, I got married on the seventeenth day and gave birth to my eldest son in the nineteenth day. That winter, it was particularly cold. The year was not good, and the harvest in the fields was not much. In winter, many people died of illness and starved to death. Especially the elderly, they all fell ill."
Chi Shi frowned, "The first deceased, Tuo Ju, Zhang Tang, and the elders of Ruan Ying's family, are they all sick?"
Zhang Chun thought about it and nodded, "Yes, the Ruan clan leader and Tuo Ju, Zhang Tang's father-in-law are the cousins of his relatives. The Ruan clan leader has a carriage, so the people who lack food in the village took the money from the bottom of the house and asked the three of them to go to the city to buy grain."
"They are old and have familiar people in the city. When they came back, they brought back a woman, a woman with a big belly."
Chi Shi and Zhou Xian looked at each other, and then looked at Zhang Chun.
"That woman, whose surname is Guan, everyone calls her Niangzi Guan. Niangzi was born with fine skin and tender flesh, and she also wore satin clothes. She was obviously not a woman from a farmhouse family. She was born with a very beautiful appearance and was very good at embroidery."
"We don't know what the origin is. Most of the women in the village embroidery are taken from her."
Zhang Chun said, feeling a little embarrassed, "Maybe Chi Corps doesn't know that we village women are most afraid that others will get more benefits and will not get anything from them. Regardless of whether they know or not, they will go to Zhang's place to learn embroidery."
"After all, if you sell it well, you may make a lot of money. At the beginning, almost all the people in the village who have arms and hands went there, but in a few days, they lost their patience. It was a disaster year, and there was not enough food and clothing. Learning to embroidery to make a fortune, how could you learn it in one day or two days."
"In the end, only Tuo Ju, Zhang Tang, and Ruan Ying's aunt Ruan Xing were left, and they often went to her place."
Seeing that the more she missed her, Chi Shi hurriedly interrupted, "Didn't you say that those three old people are all sick? When did they get sick?"
Zhang Chun was stunned and was pulled back, "I got sick as soon as I came back, which means that their family was quite intact, so I hired a doctor to come and see him. At that time, he said he was going to the city to buy food, and the wind and cold on the road were in, so I was afraid it would not work."
"But..." Zhang Chun's expression suddenly changed, and his voice became a little less. She glanced at the Ruan clan leader again, and his voice became even lower, almost inaudible. "Later, Mrs. Guan suddenly gave birth prematurely and died. The child she was pregnant in her belly was eight months old, and she still couldn't live, and the child could not live."
"Elderly people in the village know what I said before. What I said later was that I heard my sister Xiaotang accidentally mentioned it. She said... She said that her father-in-law had just saved his life after taking the baby's coat in Guan Madam's belly."
Ziheche and Baoyun refer to the child's placenta. People from Ruanjiazhuang believe that the child's placenta is a great supplement.
Zhang Chun said, his lips trembled slightly, "Nam Guan was born in a wealthy family. She was pregnant and she didn't take any water tonic. She ate a lot of ginseng and antlers. Therefore, the coating was particularly effective... When Xiaotang told me, she was also skeptical."
"We Zhangjiazhuang have no such statement."
She said, stood up, looked at Ruan Ying's body and sighed, "Aying is a miserable child. The people in the village are all from the same clan and can't speak casually. My eldest son has been doing an errand in the city, and our whole family is going to move into the city."
"I just came to tell you this, just to say thank you Aying for sending Xiaotang on my last journey. Moreover, I also want to know who killed Xiaotang."
Chi Shi nodded expressionlessly.
Zhou Xian, who was standing beside him, stepped on her feet and treated the person who came to testify as a spring breeze. Everyone this guy looked like a debt collector.
Chi Shi glared at him and stepped back calmly.
"Why do you say that Aying is a miserable child? Zhang Tang is not young, is she still pregnant last year?"
Zhang Chun was stunned, and his feet shrank back. She sat down, frowned, and complained, "I have also told her about this. She is old and older, and she has settled a marriage. Why does her mother-in-law still have to be pregnant?"
"But she is soft-hearted and listens to my brother-in-law in everything. When I asked her, she didn't say it, she just said it was okay. Her husband treated her very well, and the old hen changed her style and stewed her tonic."
"I won't ask anymore. As for Ruan Ying... According to the Ruan family's personal calculation, she should be my niece. This daughter..."
Zhang Chun glanced at the Ruan Tribe Chief Ruan again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Oh, I don't know the specifics. But I know, Ruan Ying doesn't like that Chen Shao at all, because her grandfather forced her to marry."
Zhou Xian's feet were so painful that he sucked. He took a breath, "So, do you know who Ruan Ying likes? Or, who is she usually in the village, so who is closer to?"
Zhang Chun shook his head, "I don't know this. The village is full of relatives and old friends. We farmers don't care about the defense of men and women. Girls and boys are all playing together."
