Chapter 1217: The Matter Is Revealed
Hearing Li Qiutong's exclamation, Mrs. Li almost didn't fall off the carriage, she stood firm and looked back, and also found a big scorpion with fingers in the broken pottery shard, and hurriedly said, "What are you shouting, Chen Zhong, don't beat this beast to death!" ”
Chen Zhong picked up a stone and was about to crush the scorpion to death, but He Fenglu hurriedly stopped, "Don't! Find something to pack the scorpion. ”
Before everyone could ask, He Fenglu explained, "Now is the breeding period of the female scorpion, and there may be a lot of small scorpions on its back. ”
Hearing her say this, Li Qiutong was so frightened that she retreated again and again, and Zhou Qionghua shook her sleeves even more desperately, eager to take off her coat and throw it immediately.
Zhong Xiu dropped the water in the teapot in the car and asked Chen Zhong to fill the scorpion with the teapot, and everyone was relieved.
Qin Shi turned his head to stare at Zhou Qionghua, if Cui Qiao pulled her sleeve, she really couldn't help but go up and slap this poisonous woman a few times.
Mrs. Li asked He Fenglu again, "What should I do with this thing?" ”
He Fenglu saluted, "This may be the female scorpion that can only attract poisonous scorpions, old lady, please invite Master Uncle Rong Xiaodao to identify." ”
"Okay, there's a chief worker." Old Madam Li had already calmed down, got off the horse and stopped aside, and called Qin and Li Qiutong to her side to protect them.
As for Zhou Qionghua, who had a scorpion falling out of her sleeve, no one dared to stand next to her, for fear that she would have something else on her. Zhou Qionghua calmed down after being frightened, racking her brains to think about how to get out.
This place is not far from Xiao Nuan's Taoist temple, and Zhang Xuanya, who had just returned to the Taoist temple, quickly came with a black clay pot.
In front of everyone, Zhang Xuanya opened the clay pot and saw that the male scorpion inside was trying to climb towards the teapot containing the female scorpion. Zhang Xuanya changed the black clay pot to the other side, and the scorpions immediately turned, still crawling in the direction of the teapot.
Zhang Xuanya covered the clay pot, "Old lady, this is the female scorpion that I have been looking for for many days, I don't know where I found it?" It is necessary to find the hiding place of the scorpion as soon as possible and grill it with fire in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”
Old Madam Li nodded slowly, "Qionghua, where did you get this thing from?" ”
Under the old lady's stern gaze, Zhou Qionghua chose the safest words, "Qionghua just went to scrub the stone lion in the courtyard, and found a small clay pot from the small hole in the base of the stone lion. ”
Li Qiutong said angrily, "Grandmother, the stone lion in the inner courtyard is placed at the door of the small courtyard where Zhou Qionghua lives, and the scorpion must be hidden by her!" ”
"Qiu Tong." Mrs. Li didn't let her granddaughter continue, and said to Zhang Xuanya, "I still need to trouble the Taoist." ”
After Zhang Xuanya and Li Zhong went to the courtyard, Mrs. Li looked at Zhou Qionghua who was kneeling on the ground unusually calmly.
Zhou Qionghua kowtowed with tears, "Grandmother, Qionghua has read sages since she was a child, and she will never do anything to raise poisonous scorpions to harm people." Qionghua swore to heaven that this thing was never brought by me, otherwise Qionghua would not have to die a good death. ”
She carried out the Zhou family, hoping that Mrs. Li could read it in the Zhou family and in the face of the deceased Mrs. Li, and spare her this time. This scorpion really wasn't brought into Zhuangzi by her, she just found that Mrs. Chen was hiding a scorpion and feeding the scorpion, and after she died, she thought about taking it for herself.
She didn't make a big mistake, and she didn't kill anyone, did she?
Qin Shi said coldly, "Which sage book did Miss Zhou's ability to lead sheep and reverse right and wrong come from?" ”
Zhou Qionghua bit her lip, at this time she said a lot of mistakes, so she could only be silent.
Old Madam Li stared at the stone lion at the door quietly, she didn't know that there was a hole in the base of the stone lion, and it could also hold a poisonous scorpion, where was this still a treasure of the town house!
Li Zhong accompanied Zhang Xuanya out of the inside, "Old lady, Zhang Daochang has cleaned up the small stone cave at the base of the stone lion. ”
Zhang Xuanya recited the number and explained, "The medicinal mud that seals the entrance of the cave at the base of the stone lion also comes from the Jianghu Poison Sect, which can isolate the smell and prevent water and fire, so the poisonous scorpion can survive in the fire." This kind of medicinal mud is the secret treasure of the poison gate, because its texture and hardness after drying are very similar to white marble, so the poor road has not been noticed by entering the village several times. ”
Zhang Xuanya didn't expect to find this kind of medicinal mud in Lijiazhuang. In order to get rid of their little junior sister, these people really worked hard! Zhang Xuanya's eyes were churning with murderous intent, "This medicinal mud can corrode the cloth, if it doesn't stick to the skin, the skin will turn purple, and it feels like a burn, and it will be difficult to get rid of in January." The poisonous insect matter has not been around for less than a month, and the old lady only needs to thoroughly investigate the people in the mansion to know who the poisonous scorpion was sealed into the stone lion. ”
Li Qiutong's eyes fell on Zhou Qionghua! Since the day Li Jiazhuang returned to the city, Zhou Qionghua lied that her hands were burned by tea, and in the mansion, Li Qiutong had seen her slightly purple fingers many times!
Old Madam Li naturally knew about it, but she didn't say anything, only said, "Thank you, Daoist, the old man has written it down." ”
Zhou Qionghua was puzzled when she heard her grandmother say this.
Zhang Xuanya didn't mention this matter anymore, burned the male and female scorpions in front of everyone, and said, "The clay pot is cracked in Miss Zhou's sleeve, and I also ask Miss Zhou to change her clothes as soon as possible to avoid the harm of poisonous scorpions or poisonous powder." ”
When everyone heard this, they took a few steps back, and it seemed that Zhou Qionghua was a poisonous scorpion.
After Zhang Xuanya said goodbye, Mrs. Li instructed, "Li Zhong, place the cousin in the empty courtyard of the village, and let people wait for their lives." ”
Zhou Qionghua was frightened, she didn't want to stay in this empty Zhuangzi, knelt down and begged, "Grandmother......"
"Shut up! My Li family doesn't have a granddaughter as capable as you! Mrs. Li was furious and ordered her to be escorted down.
The subordinates of the Li family were also afraid that Zhou Qionghua was poisonous, so they didn't dare to reach out and touch her, and even the maids who had been serving by Zhou Qionghua's side for many years didn't dare to come forward. In the end, it was Li Zhong who ordered her to be dragged away with a stick.
Seeing that Old Madam Li looked tired, the Qin family persuaded, "It's a good thing to get rid of the poisonous scorpions, don't be angry, the old lady will be angry and hurt herself." My Xiaonuan said that getting angry because of other people's affairs will only hurt your own body, which is not worth it. ”
Old Madam Li really wanted to ask Xiao Nuan why she knew that the poisonous scorpion was on Zhou Qionghua. But even if you ask yourself, Xiao Nuan won't say it. Old Madam Li held Qin's hand and sighed, "Lan'er gave birth to two good daughters. ”
Qin Chu straightened her waist, this was the proudest thing in her life. After sending Mrs. Li away, Qin didn't dare to go home like this, and ordered the guards to go back and get the clothes, she and He Fenglu and Cui Qiao changed their clothes in the car, and ordered someone to burn all the clothes in the carriage before entering Zhuangzi.
Xiao Nuan felt that her mother was too cautious, but Qin's didn't think so, "You haven't seen it, my mother took a closer look, and the female scorpion was carrying a lot of small scorpions on her back that were not much bigger than millet grains, and they were densely packed." In case a few are blown off by the wind and climb on top of my mother......"
Qin couldn't go on, "No, my mother has to wash her hair!" ”
Xiao Nuan was numb when she heard this, Xiaocao's eyes were bright, she hadn't seen the female scorpion carrying the little scorpion on her back, she really wanted to see it.
"Sister, do you think those little scorpions will climb on Zhou Qionghua, the little scorpions are also poisonous, right?"
Of course it will, otherwise how would Zhou Qionghua die. Xiao Nuan didn't plan to tell her sister about this, she only touched her little face and reassured, "Probably not." ”
