On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yan had to go to his uncle's house in the morning to pay New Year's greetings, and then planned to leave for S City in the afternoon.

New Year's greetings to uncle, this is also an old tradition (every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year, my nephew has to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle's family), my uncle and Lin Yan's family are in the same town, but the village is 15 kilometers apart.

Li Jiaqi was arrested by Lin Yan to be a coachman again, although Li Jiaqi began to protest, she still drove Lin Yan towards her uncle's house.

The road to my uncle is even worse than the road in Xiaoworm Village, it is only a rural dirt road, only 2 meters wide, just a small car to pass.

The road was bumpy, and the car finally arrived at the door of his uncle's house, but it was very strange that his uncle Xu Dabing was not at home, the gate was locked, and his aunt and two cousins were not at home.

Lin Yan thought embarrassedly, what kind of thing is this to eat behind closed doors during the New Year?

Fortunately, there were people in the neighbor's house next door, and they saw a car parked in front of Xu Dabing's house, and a man and a woman came down and came out to take a look.

An eldest sister came over, and Lin Yan knew it at first glance, it was Hu Ling, after all, he often came to his uncle's house to play when he was a child.

"Sister Hu Ling, Happy New Year! Is my uncle's family out as a guest? Why is no one at home?" Lin Yan greeted politely.

"Oh, this isn't a small stone, I haven't seen you for a long time, I've come to your uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, right! Your uncle's family may be on the other side of the fish pond, something has happened at your uncle's house, and I don't know what to do!"

"Oh, what's the matter, can you tell me?" Lin Yan's heart tightened, if it wasn't for an urgent matter during the New Year, it would be impossible for the family not to leave anyone behind.

"Here's the thing, your uncle's family hasn't raised fish and opened a pond in the past few years, last year's business was very good, and he made a lot of money, and ...... at the end of the year."

"Hu Ling, come back, come back quickly, someone is coming to buy something, don't ramble there!" Hu Ling's father saw that his daughter was talking there, and someone happened to be buying something, so he hurriedly interrupted his daughter and called her back.

"Uncle Hu, Happy New Year, it's me, I'm Lin Yan, Xu Mei's son. Lin Yan thought that Hu Ling's father didn't know him, so he hurriedly went over politely to say hello, and then handed over a Chinese cigarette.

Hu Ling's father, first looked around, there were no passers-by, then took it, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's the stone back, thank you!"

Then he lowered his head and shrunk back to his house, without talking to Lin Yan much, looking like he was afraid of something.

"What's wrong with them, they are talking so carefully?" Li Jiaqi asked strangely.

Hu Ling was called home by her father, and Lin Yan couldn't stop asking more, anyway, he already knew that his uncle's family was over there in the fish pond, so let's go and see, what the hell is going on, I can't get out of the way during the New Year.

"Forget it, let's go, take you to my uncle's fish pond to have a look, why are you so busy?" Lin Yan said.

The fish pond is close to the river and not far from the village. The two of them walked one after the other on the country road and walked towards the river.

From afar, I saw a lot of people gathered there, all standing on the edge of the fish pond and pointing. Li Jiaqi's eyes were sharp, and he saw a person sitting on the ground from afar, talking in his mouth, and everyone else was helping to say something.

Lin Yan took a closer look, and it was really his aunt sitting on the ground shouting and crying, and the two cousins Xu Wei and Xu Promise were scolding and scolding there with righteous indignation, and the uncle was also smoking a cigarette.

In the winter in the south, although the temperature is low, this year is a warm winter, and the fish pond is not frozen, which is suitable for hoarding fish for winter farming.

My uncle is in the fourth year of fish farming, and he didn't make any money in the first year, so he lost a little, and in the second year, he gained experience and just made a small profit, and he got back the money he lost in the first year.

Last year, the business was the best, several restaurants in the town were ordered fish from my uncle, and after graduating from junior high school, my two cousins have been farming with my uncle, and they have been delivering to other restaurants at regular times every day, and the family relies on this fish pond to eat.

This year's winter is not cold, and my uncle's fish are hoarded in this 4-acre fish pond for the winter.

In order to survive the winter, the two cousins listened to their uncle's method: on the north side of the fish pond, a wind barrier more than two meters high was built with straw and earth, and an earthen wall on the east and west sides was built in the shape of a dustpan to reduce the attack of the north wind.

Drainage ditches are built around the pond to prevent water from flowing into the pond and reduce the temperature of the pond. The north windshield wall is 40 centimeters from the bottom of the pond and two cold shelters with a depth of 2 meters and a diameter of 0.8 meters.

The good breeding fish and the smaller fish that were not willing to sell were all in it, but this morning, my uncle came to check on the fish pond as usual, but found that the pond was white, and the fish were all turned over.

It's a big deal now, it's okay on the first day of the new year, why did it happen overnight. The family hurriedly came to check, at first they thought it was the lack of oxygen in the fish, but as a pesticide smell wafted out of the dead fish and the pond, Xu Dabing suddenly felt bad, this must have been drugged in the water.

Lin Yan now came to his uncle's side and shouted, "Uncle!"

Xu Dabing came back to his senses at this time, and his uncle squeezed out a smiling face and said, "The stone is here, I'm sorry, I'm not waiting for you at home, hey, something happened to the fish pond." ”

Aunt Ye Wumei saw Lin Yan coming over with a girl, and she didn't restrain much, but cried and said: "Stone, you see which family is cutting off children and grandchildren, doing this lack of virtue, and I don't know how to accumulate virtue during the New Year, so I am not afraid of retribution!"

"Did you call the police?" asked Lin Yan.

"There is no phone in the village, and there is no mobile phone signal! I haven't called the police yet!" said Xu Wei, the eldest cousin.

Lin Yan took out the latest Nokia mobile phone and looked at it, but there was really no signal, so he had to take a few photos as evidence.

"Then don't waste the two of you here, Xu Wei, you stay and protect the scene, promise to go with your father, I will drive you to the town police station to report to the police, hurry up and file a case, aunt, get up, don't be sad, this matter must be dealt with by the police, and no clues can be found if it drags on." Lin Yan continued.

Lin Yan took out two packs of Chinese cigarettes and gave them to Xu Wei, and asked him to send them to the villagers.

Everyone saw that it was Great China, this brand of cigarettes was a rare thing in the village, and then Lin Yan and Li Jiaqi were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and they were also very expensive, and they all smiled politely and accepted it. Many people know that Lin Yan is a college student and educated, and now he seems to be rich, and they are unconsciously a little flattering.

At this time, one of the onlookers took Xu Wei's cigarette, heard Lin Yan say that he wanted to call the police, and came up and interjected: "Oh, this is not a stone, come back, your uncle's family has not yet figured out this matter, go to the town to call the police? ”

Lin Yan stared at him, with a split head, tattoos on his arms, sharp-beaked monkey gills, and a black mole at the corner of his mouth.

"Whether it's poor breeding, or if there is another reason, it's good to find an expert to take a look. Standing here does not look for the reason, the reason will not come out on its own. ”

After Lin Yan finished speaking, he took Li Jiaqi and walked in the direction of his uncle's house, promising to follow him with his uncle Xu Dabing.

Li Jiaqi was very helpless, she and Lin Yan must have been tripped up on this trip to visit the New Year, such a thing happened to Lin Yan's uncle's house, and she couldn't leave back to S City this afternoon anyway.
