Chapter 83 Talisman
Hu Xiufang was shocked: "A gift of more than one hundred yuan? My mother! It's enough to marry four like my sister-in-law."
Poof!
Li Qiao couldn't hold back his tears from laughing.
Hu Xiufang: "Really, my brother gave me 20 yuan when he got married, and my sister-in-law brought back the money in the end, and married a lot of things. My mother said that my family's support for my education has bottomed out, and I must take the exam. A university earns the dowry by itself, otherwise you will be a bachelor." She changed the subject: "Is your stepmother saving a dowry for Li Jinhua if she wants a gift?" More than one hundred yuan is enough to buy a whole set of high-quality furniture. There are endless flowers.
Bring these married people, not to mention anything else, the mother-in-law's family has earned enough face.
Old fox.
Li Qiao was silent, it's not that she didn't think about it.
Now I hear it from others, but it's just my own guess. "Follow her."
"What is your dowry?"
"Two boxes and four quilts."
Hu Xiufang: "."
Li Qiao chatted with Hu Xiufang a lot, and at about 8:30, the dormitory aunt came to tell her that a girl was looking for her outside.
She went out holding the note.
Liu Jing and Zou Qing were waiting.
She said: "Usually it's Du Xinxin and Han Ting who come here, why are you guys here today?"
"Du Xinxin sprained her ankle the other day and couldn't walk steadily."
"Are you feeling better? Say hello to her for me."
"become."
"Have you learned English? Teach us to read it?"
Li Qiao looked left and right. There was a dim street light in the school, which was suitable for reading. She negotiated with the guard and brought the two into the school. After opening the book, it still felt dark, so she took out the flashlight to teach the two to read according to the book.
Coincidentally, the English teacher passed by on duty.
"Li Qiao!"
Li Qiao looked back and met the other party face to face.
"The English you read is quite standard. Why do you have to study it in school? Who taught you?" The English teacher looked her up and down.
"A forensic doctor in my county heard that he had studied abroad. Earlier, I participated in the investigation of a case he was in charge of. He taught me the correct pronunciation of English." Li Qiao said casually.
"Are you still involved in solving the case? Is it true or not?" The English teacher was refreshed.
Li Qiao: "If you don't believe me, ask them. I live in the same village as them. The murder happened in the village. During the forensic autopsy, I made the notes. Everyone in the village can testify."
Liu Jing and Zou Qing unanimously proved what Li Qiao said was true.
The English teacher gave a thumbs up: "Awesome! You will lead the morning reading next time."
Li Qiao: "Hey, I have to ask you to mention it in class, I'm afraid the students won't listen to me."
"Success, go back to the dormitory early, the door is about to close."
"Okay." Li Qiao was still calm, and he returned to the dormitory after the two had mastered it. After getting into the bed, he chatted with Hu Xiufang for a while.
Unknowingly fell asleep.
The next day, read and review with Hu Xiufang.
Before I knew it, it was afternoon.
Li Jinhua observed Li Qiao's complexion as soon as she arrived in the dormitory.
His complexion was rosy and shiny, and the bruise disappeared.
Is the symbol broken and malfunctioning?
She deliberately checked Li Qiao's pillow when everyone was away.
The symbols are intact.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, a soft but sharp voice sounded from behind.
"Li Jinhua! What are you doing?!"
Li Jinhua's back felt cold, and she turned her head slowly: "Third, third sister, didn't you leave?"
Li Qiao began to pay attention to Li Jinhua's every move early in the morning, anticipating that the other party would be unable to hold back to check if the talisman was broken when she saw her refreshed. She snatched the talisman from Li Jinhua's hand: "Why did you put this kind of thing in my pillow? What is it for?"
"I" Li Jinhua also reacted quickly: "Didn't you say you had a headache? I made a special trip to beg for you this time when I went home."
Li Qiao smiled coolly: "Really? But I discovered this talisman last week. Do you want me to ask Hu Xiufang to testify for me?"
Li Qiao: "The talisman? Okay, I'll take it home later, and ask your third brother-in-law to ask the gentleman in the village to take a look."
Li Jinhua's face turned pale, and he said firmly: "Just watch."
Li Qiao snorted coldly and put away the talisman: "You wait!"
Li Jinhua thought about stealing a dead man.
She turned over Li Qiao's bed when she had time, and even searched for the rice bag, but she couldn't find a trace of the talisman.
Is it in your clothes pocket?
While everyone was sleeping, she got up at night to look through Li Qiao's clothes hanging at the end of the bed.
Zhao Li's clothes are also hanging there.
When she was half asleep and half awake, she found someone standing at the end of the bed, and she yelled in shock.
There are thieves!
Li Qiao, who was waiting for Yinluo, turned on the flashlight.
Everyone saw Li Jinhua's hand in Zhao Li's pocket.
"Li Jinhua, what are you doing?"
"Does staying up late at night steal Zhao Li's money?"
In the past two days, it has been reported that someone in the surrounding dormitories has run out of rice, toothpaste, money, shoes and clothes have been stolen.
Only their dormitory is the same. Many people suspect that the people in their dormitory did it. Now that Li Jinhua has been caught, everyone is waiting for her to explain.
Li Jinhua vehemently denied: "I haven't."
"Then what are you doing in other people's pockets in the middle of the night?"
Li Jinhua was sweating anxiously: "I, I'm looking for Third Sister's amulet."
Li Qiao knew that Li Jinhua would have an excuse to wait for her. "What amulet? The slogan of breaking feudal superstition is not for nothing. I don't believe in that stuff."
"Third sister, you obviously have a talisman." Li Jinhua insisted: "I advise you not to believe it, but you insist on it. I am worried that it will spread, so I have to get up in the middle of the night to look for it!"
Hu Xiufang was startled by Li Jinhua's brazenness, and forcibly poured dirty water on her sister. Tomorrow, this matter will be heard by the teacher, and the teacher will definitely talk to Li Qiao. Isn't Li Jinhua pushing her sister into a pit?
Still worried?
Aren’t you just preaching right now?
She was angry.
But she couldn't speak at this time.
Li Qiao scolded: "Nonsense! Isn't my partner more useful than any amulet?"
Zhao Li experienced first-hand that Qin Erliuzi had friends all over the commune.
Who dares to provoke Li Qiao?
"Third sister, this is not to protect your safety, but to protect your studies. Just admit it!" Li Jinhua said in a helpless tone.
Unknowingly, I started to beat the drums in my heart. I heard from several repeaters in the class that Li Qiao's grades were not as good as Hu Xiufang's last year.
Now that she has dumped her eighteen blocks, there is no real blessing, right?
Where did you pray so well?
There was a knock on the door outside: "What are you doing in the dormitory? Making noise so that no one can sleep?"
Everyone be silent.
Li Jinhua returned to her bed as if fleeing.
Li Qiao: "You said that I have a talisman. It is not a trivial matter to promote superstition. You must figure it out, or everyone will not be able to sleep today."
Everyone also thinks that it is necessary to find out whether Li Qiao's amulet is real and whether Li Jinhua is a thief, otherwise their things are too unsafe.
"Li Qiao, since Li Jinhua said that you have a talisman, you can ask everyone to search the bed. And Li Jinhua, we don't know who is missing something, can you search it?" Liu Lanlan thinks that Li Jinhua should be fine. Said, so I came up with an idea.
Li Jinhua glanced at Liu Lanlan gratefully. Li Qiao would confirm her statement if she found a talisman. Since she didn't steal anything, she was naturally not afraid of searching. "Okay. Search."
Everyone used flashlights, first searched Li Qiao's bed, and took out all the pockets of clothes.
Did not see the amulet.
"It must be in the desk." Li Jinhua was very annoyed. If Li Qiao kept standing next to that talisman, it would be impossible for Li Qiao to look good.
Mistake!
"Fart! I don't have that thing!" Li Qiao couldn't help but swear.
Everyone rummaged through Li Qiao's personal belongings, starting with Li Jinhua's, and finally took out a yellow talisman from her pocket.
Li Qiao pretended to be enlightened: "Oh, you said that I put a talisman in it, so you didn't want to put it in my pocket on purpose, did you? The room is too dark, Zhao Li's and I's clothes are hanging together, you misplaced it. At this time, I happened to be using a flashlight, so you quickly put it in your pocket to cover your eyes, aren't you my sister? Why are you so bad?"
