Chapter 9 The Taste of Salted Fish
In the afternoon of the next day, Su San and Luo Yin were already on the ferry to Chongming Island. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A small ferry, as soon as it reached the shore, crowded with many people, some carrying burdens, each with a cage hanging on it, and the slender neck of the duck poked out of the cage, quacking and quacking hoarsely.
There were also women carrying a big basket of vegetables, and the little greens were squeezed into pieces, and she was angry and muttered all the way: "Little Red Guy, Nong Wuzhu is blind." ”
Luo Yin stretched out his hand to gently protect Su San's shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "This kind of ship, everyone has it, don't care, it'll be here soon." ”
Su San found that after Luo Yin experienced the affairs of the Luo family, his whole person had changed, and the sense of domineering in the past was gradually disappearing, and there were many down-to-earth and intimate actions.
Maybe setbacks are the best schools? People need to grow up through setbacks and learn to be considerate of others.
There are many people on this road, and Su San has to endure all kinds of strange smells. For example, a man standing not far away was carrying a basket of salted fish.
The wind was strong, and the smell of salted fish wafted over the wind, and the smoked Su San almost spit it out.
Naturally, the people next to him also smelled it. There are two men in caftans telling colored jokes on one side.
"I remember which of the literati's notes I read, which said that there was a good old prostitute, and in the end she had to marry a blind man who told fortunes, and once the old prostitute bought dried salted fish on the street and hung it at the door, and the blind man came back from the stall and stood at the door and called the old prostitute's name."
Another laughed and said, "I know, it must be the salted fish that made trouble." ”
The two laughed.
The man carrying the salted fish next to him was confused, and asked angrily, "What's wrong with the salted fish?" ”
The two men laughed again.
Later, when I saw that the man was a little annoyed, I patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "You said that this old prostitute has been selling himself for so long, of course he will get sick, and the rotten one below is naturally that smell." ”
A few men who understood next to him squeezed their eyebrows and smiled strangely at the female passengers on the boat, and a few women spat and scolded secretly: People look like dogs, and they can't spit out ivory from their mouths.
Su San also thought, these two people have read books when they look at them, Sven scum, telling this kind of joke in public, it's really tasteless.
The man carrying the salted fish then understood, glared at the two of them fiercely, and muttered: "Your family has the taste of salted fish, Lao Tzu is just a salted fish, and you have to laugh at it." Spicy chunks of mommy. ”
Su San finally endured it for more than two hours, and finally arrived at the shore at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Luo Yin pulled Su San and walked from the long wooden ladder to the dock, pointed to the front and asked, "Do you want to eat something before you go to find someone." ”
Su San waved his hand: "Don't do it, the smell of this boat is filthy, it will almost smoke me to death, and I can't eat anything." “
So the two of them called two rickshaws and went straight to the farmer's house according to the address given by Mo Ming.
There is now a small grocery store on the street called a farmhouse.
Su San and Luo Yin got out of the car and paid, and a woman in her forties at the counter asked, "What do you two want?" ”
Su San asked: "Your family is surnamed Nong, and you originally lived in Ping'an." ”
The woman nodded: "Yes, could it be that you are an old neighbor in Ping'an?" ”
"I'm a police officer." Luo Yin took out his ID and handed it to the woman.
Police. The woman saw that Luo Yin was not small, and knew that she was not an ordinary policeman, where would she dare to receive documents, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I can't read." ”
"You're the farmer's daughter-in-law, right?" Su San asked.
The woman nodded and said enthusiastically, "Come, come and sit, I don't know what happened to you from the city?" If the house over there can't be sold, we have already put it away, and there are no tenant lawsuits. ”
"Where's Nong?" Luo Yin looked inside and outside and found that there was no trace of the old man.
"Alas, that year, my father-in-law went to buy rice, just in time for the Japanese plane to drop a bomb and was killed."
"How so?" Su San patted the woman's hand and said, "We are victorious now, and there will be no such thing in the future." ”
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, yes, hey, look at my brain, whether you two drink tea or not, I'll go boil water." ”
"Mrs. Nong, don't bother, we're here to learn about that case from twelve years ago."
"That case! God, is everything in the newspapers true? ”
It seems that Fan Qi's surrender is really known to everyone. Su San nodded and said, "Indeed, the court has started a new trial, and some people think that Liu Shusheng is innocent. I heard from the man in the alley that the farmer had seen a rickshaw driver that night. ”
"Yes, I was only out of the full moon at that time, and my father-in-law was really a good person, and he took care of Maotou's food, drink, and Lazar."
Just as he was saying this, Su San suddenly smelled a strong smell of salted fish.
Looking up, the man on the ferry appeared at the intersection with a bamboo basket.
"Oh, look at your smell, it really stinks for ten miles, it smells bad to death, I want you to find some oil paper to wrap it, but you just don't listen." Mrs. Nong stood up and complained.
The man smiled, approached and saw Su San and Luo Yin in his shop, and asked in surprise, "Huh." So you're here at my house. A boat's. ”
"That's really fate, these two police officers want to ask about what happened in our alley twelve years ago."
Mrs. Nong snatched the basket from her husband's hand, hurriedly found a piece of oiled paper to wrap the basket, stuffed it under the counter, and fanned it with disgust.
Su Sanxin said to this couple, the husband likes to eat salted fish, and the wife hates it, how can she usually eat.
The man said to Luo Yin: "Sir, you look like a decent person, is it too much for you to talk about what the two people on the boat said." ”
Su San stared at Luo Yin nervously, she knew that Luo Yin hated these messy little things the most, she was very worried that Luo Yin would make this honest man not come off the stage, but she didn't expect Luo Yin to nod and say very sincerely: "What you like to eat and what you don't like to eat is your personal right, those two people have no right to tease you by telling jokes, you don't take it seriously." ”
The look on the man's face immediately became happy, and Su San also secretly sighed.
"Mrs. Nong, I heard that Uncle Nong went out to pour things that night, and once met a rickshaw driver, and saw the woman chasing the driver at the mouth of the alley, is there such a thing?"
Luo Yin asked.
"Yes, my father-in-law went back to the house and told me that the coachman smelled of salted fish, and he probably loved salted fish like our family."
A rickshaw driver who likes to eat salted fish?
Su San looked at Luo Yin, and the latter whispered: "Now that I think about it, that coachman may not like to eat the smell of salted fish, you see, this Mr. Nong also likes to eat salted fish, as long as he doesn't run around the street with salted fish, how can he smell of salted fish." The coachman, probably sick. ”
