Bridgeside Town is my mother. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe water, soil, plants and trees here can always evoke some cyan and gray memories, which are stored and fermented in my memory, and finally fill my spiritual world.

There were two tall elm trees on the playground of the elementary school, and they were always imagined as mighty generals guarding the school.

At the end of spring, elm money flutters in the wind, which is very eye-catching.

I was looking out of the window from my classroom seat and I could see these two trees.

They have appeared in my paintings, and although the school has been renovated and expanded countless times, the two trees are still there, retaining the only little aura of the school.

Thinking of the scene when the martyred teacher Wu Man passed under the tree, she had a warm smile on her face, and that smile could penetrate time and space, just like yesterday.

Chen Fei sent a message in Beijing: "Beijing is going down to the sand. ”

In that city of Xiasha, walking in the bustling CBD at countless dusks, watching the red men and green women hidden in this bizarre city delusional about tomorrow's miracle, hurrying forward.

Whenever this happens, the sense of life breaking comes spontaneously, and I even think that they may not know where they want to go in such a hurry.

I couldn't adapt to a world without grass and wood.

The wildness of the wasteland has been beckoning, and when I returned to Bridgeside Town, I suddenly realized that wildness and savagery were only one word.

In a few days, the full moon is approaching, and according to the serial disappearance of Yin Ting and the twins, if Xiao Wenwen's disappearance this time was committed by the same person, then he is very likely to release his demonic nature again on the day of this full moon.

However, those who can defy the wind must be familiar with the texture of the town.

On Monday, I came to the vegetable market early in the morning, ready to buy a fish and cook a sauerkraut fish at home.

As soon as I arrived at the fish stall, a chubby woman stopped me: "Brother Xiaoyu! When did you come back? ”

When I looked at it, I recognized it at once, her appearance is really more individual, how can she not be buried in the crowd, she is the daughter-in-law of Yin Laohan who forced Yin Deji to come back and marry Shufen.

"Shufen, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you?"

"Very good! Now he has contracted to raise fish in the weir pond and do some small business to support his family. She pushed a cute cute doll behind her in front of me, "Call Uncle Zeng." ”

The child was a little shy, and after whispering "Uncle Zeng", he immediately hid behind Shufen and poked his head to peek at me.

I leaned down and asked, "What is the name of the child?" How old are you? ”

He stared at me with big bright eyes and smiled, but didn't speak.

"Uncle asks you, tell your uncle quickly." Shufen patted his round head lightly.

"My name is Zhang Yuhang, and I'm three and a half years old this year."

"Hanghang, that's good." I touched his head.

"This child is born, he can be naughty at home, and he can go to heaven."

"I'm happy to see you live so well now."

"Where, just get by, people in our small place, don't seek to be rich and rich, as long as they live a solid life."

"Yes, the most important thing is to live a happy and contented life."

"By the way, I heard that you've been back in town for a while, is this time back for a long stay?"

"Sort of, come back and write something."

"You writers are suitable for the town, the environment is great, and now there are all kinds of communications, no worse than that big Beijing."

"Well, the air and water are clean."

"Oh, by the way, you're going to buy fish, right, I'll pick you a fat one." After speaking, Shufen quickly picked up the fishing net and netted a mullet of two or three catties, "Yo, look at this roasted meat, it is very strong, we all feed food, never feed feed, this fish is made, fresh!" ”

Zhang Yuhang watched his mother slaughter the fish next to him, and said happily: "Mom, you are going to send the baby fish to heaven again." ”

Shufen slammed the head of the fish twice with a wooden stick, and while skillfully cutting open the belly of the fish and fishing out the intricate roots in the fish's belly, she responded to the astronaut: "Well, mom sends the baby fish to heaven, where they will have endless marshmallows!" ”

The astronauts danced and were extremely happy. A child is a child, and a heartwarming lie is better than a bloody reality.

Shufen sliced the fish well, but it didn't weigh it, and threw it directly into my pocket.

I was about to take out the money from my wallet, but she immediately stopped me: "Brother Xiaoyu, you treat me as an outsider like this, I resolutely don't want this money, just take it as if I came back for you." ”

"That's not good, you're earning hard-earned money."

"What's the hard work, I really can't ask for this money." She thrust my purse back into my pants pocket.

"Uncle, we don't want your money, you can put it away." Hanghang also helped his mother, and I saw that there was no way, so I had to give up.

Yuhang is that kind of child, and all adults want to give birth to such a well-behaved baby when they see it.

After thanking me, I said, "Shufen, there's actually a question I've always wanted to ask you. ”

"Brother Yu has anything, just ask."

"That time, Yin's mother asked you to go to Beijing to go on a blind date with Yin Deji, how did you persuade the old couple to change their minds."

"Haha, that's it, I saw that you were all doing well in Beijing, and Brother Yin Zige also had his own life, so I persuaded Yin's mother to forget it." She put her mouth in front of my ear and whispered, "I lied to them that I couldn't have children, and they believed me and let me come back." ”

"Oh, hey, these old couple!"

When parting, Shufen told me earnestly that Xiao Wenwen's matter was not simple, her husband often sent fish to people in the county, and a few people with good relationships inadvertently revealed some inside information to him, saying that the case of Yin Zi's sister and twins missing that year was very deep and there were cats in it.

She advised me to go back to Beijing in the next few days, don't get involved, and come back to write when the incident of Xiaowenwen is clear.

I asked her what was wrong with her, and she quietly told me that when Wen Qiniang's son was looking for twins on the mountain, they all said that they accidentally fell off the cliff and died, but in fact it was not.

and Wen Qiniang's daughter-in-law went insane after the twins disappeared and committed suicide in the town's garbage dump, which is not actually a suicide.

However, the real cause of their death is unknown.

Hearing Shufen say this, her hair suddenly stood on end, what conspiracy was hidden behind the disappearance of the child?

Seeing that there are two days left before the full moon, a bigger case has occurred in Pocheng, which disrupts the process of investigation.

Due to aging equipment and lax supervision, a toxic gas leak occurred at the coking plant in Pocheng, and people who had been hoping to relocate the coking plant gathered in the county square to sit in silence and put pressure on the government.

There are more and more people gathering, there are some small frictions between the police and the people, and the police transferred from other counties in the county to maintain order are insufficient, which is a matter of "stability".

In order to maintain order, the policemen who came to Qiaobian Town to investigate Xiao Wenwen's disappearance were all transferred back to Pocheng. Compared to the stable "big event", this case is nothing.

The security plan that had been formulated was all in vain, and Zhou Bo couldn't think of a countermeasure, so he could only temporarily form a few veterans together and set up a patrol team, and Yin Deji and I volunteered to join.

Since the perpetrator chose to be on the night of the full moon, it means that the full moon has some special meaning to this person, and it is difficult to say whether it is a fetish or some kind of ritual action. So beware of the devil coming out early.

A few days before the full moon, everyone divided into several groups and went door to door to tell them to take good care of their children during these days and not to let them leave the eyes of adults.

Many people volunteered to join the patrol team, to ensure that there are people standing guard at both ends of the town 24 hours a day, vehicles in and out of the people have to be checked, and the main intersections are equipped with video surveillance, a bit like facing the enemy, the meaning of grass and trees, but everyone understands that there must not be the slightest paralysis and carelessness.

We are in the light, the devil is in the dark, and the man has never left any clues, which shows that he has anti-reconnaissance ability, and is very cunning.

In the evening, Zhou Bo arranged the daily work of the patrol team at the police station, assigned the patrol duty personnel, and distributed a walkie-talkie and a baton to each person.

At the end, he solemnly said, "This time we are on our own, I don't believe that this man can slip away in my hands three times, if this dog. If we commit another crime, we must catch it and let this beast go to hell! ”

The crowd was excited, and everyone said that they must do their duty and protect the villagers and elders.

After the crowd dispersed, I asked Uncle Zhou: "I just heard Liu Yun say that Aunt Nie has nightmares on the night of the full moon, do you know about it?" ”

"Well, I know. I heard Yuqing's man say that when she was young, no, it should have been when she was a child, the Red Guards raided his house and burned all the things in her house, this group of dogs. The day had to pull people out to fight, her father hid her under the table, told her not to make a sound, the little girl was only a few years old, lying under the table, watching the group of mongrels pee on her father, and pressed her father's face to the fire, that night happened to be the night of the full moon, and then she grew up, and when she saw the full moon, she thought of what happened that night, and she was restless. ”

"I can't imagine that the harm to people can last for such a long time."

"Yes," Zhou Bo sighed deeply, "It was a crazy era, and the people of the whole country were involved. That's not just a physical injury to people, why so many people survived the difficult years of the War of Resistance and the Civil War, but they couldn't bear it at that time and committed suicide, because a group of crazy people burned and robbed everywhere in the name of 'greatness', if you are not crazy, you have to pretend to be crazy, where can normal people stand it! ”

"I've heard my grandfather and dad talk about the past, it's ridiculous. I thought that Aunt Nie's illness on the night of the full moon had anything to do with the disappearance of these four children, it seems that I thought too much. ”

"I've been nervous lately, hey, don't think about it, these two things can't be beaten, you better go back and rest first, our task has been very heavy in the past two days."
