Chapter 299 Amulet

Seeing grandma's frowning face, Liu Ming couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Is Qingqing sick or something? Why do you want me to save her?"

Grandma shook her head, "Qingqing is not sick, it's just that her life is not good."

"What happened, grandma?" Liu Ming couldn't help asking.

Grandma glanced at Liu Ming again, then sighed and said, "Niujia Village next door to our village, isn't there a riot of Red Guards. The other day Qingqing came back from farm work in the fields and wanted to go to the small river at the entrance of the village to get me a I ate fish, but I didn't think about it. When I was at the entrance of the village, I met the group of Red Guards. I was terrified, and ran back and cried with me all night. I asked her what was wrong, but she didn't say anything. No, two days ago, The captain of the Red Guards came to my hut and said that he liked our family Qingqing and wanted to marry Qingqing. Not good, let me discuss it with Qingqing, so I will send him away first."

After Liu Ming listened, he frowned deeply and asked, "What does grandma mean? Why do you want Qingqing to recover? Do you want her to escape?"

Grandma shook her head, "No, Daxian, Qingqing will definitely not be able to escape the palm of that Red Guard captain."

"What does grandma mean?" Liu Ming was puzzled.

"I'm thinking, let Qingqinghui's brain get better, and then ask her if she wants to marry that man. If she really has no choice but to marry that man, Qingqing's brain is good, and it won't be too late. You've been bullied too much. Daxian, don't you think so?" Grandma looked at Liu Ming.

Liu Ming looked at Qingqing, who was happily eating steamed buns, and frowned, "I don't think there is anything wrong with Qingqing's brain. She should be able to understand grandma's intentions, right?"

Grandma shook her head, "Daxian, can't you help us Qingqing?"

Liu Ming frowned - this should be a disease that only Western doctors can treat, he really has nothing to do.

Seeing that Liu Ming was silent, grandma thought for a while, picked up her crutches again, walked tremblingly to the side of the bed, took out something from the bedside, held it in her hand, walked back to the table, and put the thing in her hand Pushing it into Liu Ming's arms, "Daxian, please help Qingqing."

Liu Ming looked down and saw that grandma had forced himself a gold ring. He was startled, jumped up, stepped back quickly, and waved his hands, "Grandma, no, no, I can't take this thing, I really can't take it." !"

When grandma saw Liu Ming's refusal so straightforwardly, the last ray of hope in her heart was also shattered, she could only touch her tears and sigh, "It seems that Daxian really can't help, my life is miserable..."

Seeing that grandma was crying, Jin Qingqing didn't have the heart to eat. She stood up and looked at Liu Ming angrily, "You bully my grandma?! I'll kill you!" After speaking, she picked up the broom and walked towards Liu Ming Ming direction smashed.

Liu Ming quickly hid, feeling even more depressed.

Grandma hurriedly said, "Qingqing, don't mess around!"

Qingqing withdrew her hand and looked at grandma, "Grandma, he is a villain! He made you cry."

Grandma waved her hand to comfort her, "No, grandma is blinded by the sand, you are not allowed to mess around with your benefactor."

When Qingqing heard that grandma was blinded by the sand, she hurried over, looked into grandma's eyes, and said, "Grandma, let me blow for you, do your eyes hurt?"

Grandma's eyes were red again, she patted her hand, and let Qingqing carefully blow her eyes.

Liu Ming stood by and looked at it for a while, and said, "Grandma, although I can't help Qingqing recover, I can give her an amulet so that I can rush to save her when her life is in danger, is that okay? "

Grandma heard what Liu Ming said, so she had no choice but to do so. Her original intention was not to want Qingqing to be bullied, but having an amulet is better than nothing, so she pushed Qingqing away and said to Liu Ming, "Thank you, Daxian, and I will trouble you, Daxian."

Liu Ming waved his hand awkwardly, "I'll send it to you when I'm done."

Grandma nodded, saw Liu Ming turn around and run away, and sighed again.Turning her head to look at the innocent Jin Qingqing beside her, she felt even more bitter.

Two days later, Liu Ming really sent the amulet to Jin Qingqing, and told her to wear it all the time and never leave it.Jin Qingqing obediently put the amulet close to her body, and took Liu Ming up the mountain to pick fruits. Liu Ming had no choice but to go with her.

Jin Qingqing thought she had found a good partner, so she often went to play with Liu Ming. Liu Ming took pity on her, so he often played with her. Later, he repaired the earthen house where Jin Qingqing and the others lived, and helped grandma Do a lot of housework.One old and two young, have been getting along like this for more than half a year, the captain of the Red Guard at the other end of Niujia Village came with news that during the Spring Festival, Qingqing was going to be married.

Grandma resigned to her fate a long time ago, accepted the gift of a load of noodles from the man, and went to make new clothes for Qingqing.However, Liu Ming felt unhappy in his heart, and he didn't know why, when he heard that Qingqing was really going to marry, he felt as if a thorn had grown in his heart, and he felt uncomfortable no matter what.

But Liu Ming didn't express too much, and he forcibly prevented himself from pondering the true thoughts in his heart.After all, if he objects to this marriage, it will be of no benefit to Qingqing's grandparents or himself.

Sure enough, after the Chinese New Year, an ox cart tied with a red cloth head by the captain of the Red Guards took Qingqing to the next village.Liu Ming stood by the frozen creek at the entrance of the village and watched Qingqing leave. Qingqing was sitting on the bullock cart, smiling and waving at him. Liu Ming almost couldn't restrain himself from pulling Qingqing out of the bullock cart.

However, in the end, Liu Ming didn't sit on anything, just stood there, watching Qingqing's red clothes being pulled away by the bullock cart, until he disappeared, until the sun disappeared, and then slowly in the biting night wind, gone back.

After that, for a long time, Liu Ming didn't hear any news about Jin Qingqing, and only occasionally went to accompany Jin Qingqing's grandmother, seeing that the old man was getting older and full of depression since Jin Qingqing got married.

Liu Ming thought, no news about Qingqing is good news, it's better than hearing news about her being bullied all day long, but being powerless.

That night, Liu Ming was tired in the team all day, and he finally lay down. When he was falling asleep, he suddenly felt warm in his palms.Liu Ming didn't react at first, but in the next second, he got up from the bed in an instant, looked at his palms that were bursting with heat - this was a spell related to Qingqing's amulet, and only when Qingqing met life When there is danger, there is a reaction!

Qingqing's life is in danger!
Realizing this, Liu Ming couldn't think of anything.Barefoot, he rushed out of the room and ran straight to the neighboring Niujia Village. The sound of his running alarmed the big yellow dog in the village. The barking of the big yellow dog soon caused a series of barking sounds. , Several households in the village lit up kerosene lamps.

"Hoohoo!"

On the quiet trail, Liu Ming only heard his own rapid breathing.He once secretly visited the home of the Red Guard captain where Qingqing lived, and although he didn't see Qingqing, he knew the location of that home.At this moment, he ran wildly towards the house of memory, praying hard in his heart, Qingqing, you must not have any accidents!
"Wang Wang!"

The dogs in Niujia Village also began to boil.

Liu Ming finally ran to the door of the Red Guard captain's house, stood there and beat on the door vigorously, "Open the door, open the door! Qingqing, Qingqing, are you there? Qingqing!"

Hurry up, Liu Ming's commotion alarmed other people in Niujia Village. Some people gathered at the door of the Red Guard Captain's house, and they were a little dissatisfied to see Liu Ming smashing the door like crazy.

One of the strong men stepped forward and pulled Liu Ming, "Hey, which village are you from? Why are you so crazy when you don't sleep at night and run to the door of our captain's house?"

"Yeah, crazy, this man."

More people gathered around, and some held torches.

Liu Ming struggled to break away from the pull of the strong man, and shouted, "There is a murderer inside the door! Qingqing, Qingqing, my sister is inside, she is about to be killed!" Although Liu Ming was flustered, he still knew how to speak. Seeing more and more people, he knew that the form was more and more beneficial to him, so he yelled again heart-piercingly.

When the surrounding villagers heard about the murder, they immediately seemed to explode.

"Don't talk nonsense! Why would someone in Brother Wang's family kill someone!" The same strong man said with a look of surprise on his face.

"Yeah, are you crazy? What are you talking about!" On the side, the cronies of the Red Guard captain immediately echoed.

Liu Ming pointed to the closed door and said, "Is it really a murder? Let your captain open the door to find out. If there is something wrong with my sister, I will let the Public Security Bureau arrest you and put you in jail!" "

Liu Ming's threat was really useful. Moreover, there was such a big commotion, and the door of the Red Guard captain's house hadn't been opened yet, so it was a bit suspicious.

After everyone in Niujia Village looked at each other in blank dismay, the strong man stepped forward to knock on the door.And at this moment, Liu Ming felt that the warm place in his palm was gradually cooling down.

There are only two possibilities if it gets colder, one is that Jin Qingqing's life danger has disappeared, and the other is that Jin Qingqing has lost... her life.

Thinking of the second possibility, Liu Ming felt his head buzzing, and he also went forward to knock on the door, "Open the door! Open the door! Qingqing!!"

After a while, the captain of the Red Guard called Brother Dawang came to open the door. The strange thing was that, even though it was time to sleep, this Brother Wang was dressed neatly, and his face was a bit panicked.

Seeing his expression and appearance, Liu Ming secretly thought that it was not good, and regardless of the obstruction, he pushed the big brother away and rushed to the back room.

"Hey!" Brother Wang only had time to utter an exclamation before seeing the emaciated Liu Ming rushing into the room.

"Qingqing! Qingqing, where are you?! Qingqing! Qing..." Liu Ming smelled the obvious smell of blood, and followed the smell to find the empty cowshed next to him. Liu Ming's blood turned cold in an instant.

In the cowshed where there were no cows, Qingqing was tied inside by a chain mopping the floor. Her braids, which were neat and tidy, were also in a mess. There was a lot of dry grass in her hair, her clothes were ragged, and her bare skin was covered with scars.
