"Mother, you've said it many times. "Don't worry, my sister and I are both obedient. We have never been friends with such people."
Big Red placed the bucket on the edge of the well and assured his mother.
"That's right. My two daughters, I can't let some scumbags lead them astray. "
The green bamboo silently walked over. It didn't even raise its eyes, pretending to have heard nothing. She had work to do, and no time to argue with a shrew.
At this time, a person aggressively walked over and yelled at the green bamboo, "You thief, return my wallet to me!"
The girl looked up and saw that it was the man she had accidentally bumped into earlier. She put down the carrying pole and asked blankly, "What purse?"
"Stop playing dumb." Qian Yu's eyes widened so much that they almost spewed fire. He raised his thick arms and grabbed the green bamboo by its collar, "Don't you know what you've done? I know, purposely hitting someone else is your usual trick. I'm sure you stole it. "
Just now, Qian Yu felt thirsty and wanted to go to the grocery store to buy a soda fountain. As he was paying, he felt around in his pocket and found that his wallet was missing.
Not only were there cash, bank cards, but also a few important notes. If he really lost it, it would result in quite a huge loss.
Hence, he was so anxious that he started searching everywhere. However, after rummaging through all the pockets on his body, there was not a single trace of him.
Qian Yu pondered for a moment. The moment he was bumped into by someone, his item was gone. That little thief, he definitely wouldn't be able to get away with it.
Naturally, Green Bamboo had become the biggest suspect.
"No, you're wrong." The girl felt her neck tighten and she couldn't breath. She quickly explained, "I didn't take your things."
Most of the villagers were used to getting up early. At this moment, a few villagers came to fetch water. Hearing that there was an argument, they all gathered around.
Noticing that there was a commotion, Aunt Zhang and her daughter threw the bucket to the side and hurried over.
With this, more and more people gathered. However, everyone stood to the side and watched, not one of them spoke up to interrupt.
"You still dare to be stubborn?" Qian Yu was really worried. He raised his fist and shook it a few times, intentionally trying to scare her, "Quickly hand over your wallet and kowtow and admit your mistake. Let's forget about this matter." Otherwise, this daddy here will not let you off! "
"I told you, it's none of my business. It is impossible for me to kowtow. " Green Bamboo stubbornly straightened his neck and retorted without fear, "There must be evidence to suspect a person! I did hit you, but I was carrying a bucket! I don't have any special abilities, so I can't just use my feet to steal your wallet, right? "
While the two of them were in a stalemate, someone from the crowd said,
"I think she's right. The old saying goes, catch the thief to catch the dirt, catch the adulterer to catch a pair. Young man, it's best for you to recall your memories.
Green Bamboo raised his eyes and saw that it was the old bachelor Liu Quan Fu, whom he had met yesterday at the village entrance. Hearing him speak up for her, she nodded gratefully.
The old tutor was quite stubborn, but he could tell the difference between gratitude and grudges.
Yesterday, he taught the bad kids who stole the chicken a lesson. Later, they asked their parents for compensation.
Liu Quan Fu knew in his heart that this time it was all thanks to Green Bamboo that gave him the clue. Otherwise, it would be impossible to find out who stole the chicken.
He came to fetch water early in the morning, just in time. Thus, he righteously spoke words of justice, which could be considered as repaying Qingzhu's favor.
"This... Do you still need evidence for something that is obvious? " Qian Yu retracted his fist and grabbed onto the green bamboo collar, but he didn't loosen his grip as he huffily said, "Since the day I woke up, besides this girl, I haven't seen anyone else panting. She definitely stole it. "
He remembered clearly what Big Red said yesterday. The bad preconceived impression made him firmly believe that the girl in front of him was a crafty thief.
"I have a way to prove my innocence." Green Bamboo had a clear conscience, so he didn't panic. However, being strangled by him was simply too unbearable. Therefore, after some discussion, she said, "I won't be able to run away from all these people, so just let it go for now."
Qian Yu hesitated for a moment before slowly letting go. He asked doubtfully:
"How?"
The girl tidied up her collar, looked at him calmly, and calmly suggested:
"Don't you think so? Find an old lady in the village and let her search me for anything you've lost. If there is, I will do anything. If there is none, you will make a mistake. On the other hand, you have to kowtow and apologize to me. "
This person had no proof, so he wrongly accused her just like that. This infuriated Qing Zhu. However, it was true. She wasn't worried at all.
The young lady's firm and unhurried attitude actually caused Qian Yu to be unsure of what to do.
Since she dared to say such words, it was obvious that she had confidence in herself. Could it be that he had made a mistake, and she didn't steal his wallet?
He touched his chin, lowered his head, and tried to figure out what to do about it.
"How about we help search?"
"Second sister, please don't. No matter what, the green bamboo was still from Stone Village. We can't help outsiders and deal with our own people! "
"Mm, that makes sense."
Within the crowd, a few women were whispering to each other. None of them were willing to move forward.
Everyone was talking about it at once. Two people suggested to Qian Yu:
"Might as well call the police!"
"Yes, I like it. We are not the police, how can we search casually? What if I can't find anything? At that time, if you don't find your wallet, you will have to kowtow and admit your mistake.
Qian Yu thought about it and was about to open his mouth to say something when Big Red stepped forward and said slowly:
"After the thief stole the thing, how could he have it on him? "Only if you move somewhere else immediately will you not be discovered."
Hearing this, Qian Yu came to a realization. Yes, that's right. He was also anxious and confused. It was better than having a child see through everything.
Green Bamboo pursed his lips and cast a cold glance at Big Red. Ye Zichen couldn't understand why the two of them had no enmity with each other, and why this person would make things difficult for him like that.
"Big Red, you were right." Qian Yu patted her shoulder and praised her generously. "I didn't expect you to not only have a good heart, but also so much wisdom."
"You're too kind. "If you see injustice, draw your sword and help me!" She was afraid that he would mention what had happened just now, so she quickly changed the subject, "Oh right, when Mother and I came over just now, we saw Qingzhu crouching by the well alone, sneakily doing something I don't know what she was doing. I didn't take it to heart at the time, but now that I think about it, it seems a little suspicious. "
Qian Yu was suddenly enlightened after hearing the clues. He grabbed the bamboo by his wrist and pushed his way through the crowd towards the well. "Come with me."
The green bamboo didn't struggle at all as it obediently followed behind. She hadn't done anything wrong, so she wasn't afraid to go anywhere.
Qian Yu pulled her around the well. He suddenly discovered that the soil in one area was very loose, as if there were traces of it having been turned over. He bent down to pick up a branch and walked over to dig a few times.
Soon, a white plastic bag was revealed.
The light in Qian Yu's eyes darkened as he hurriedly ripped the plastic bag apart. Then he took something out of it — a dark green crocodile purse.
It was the one he had lost.
