"Wang ...... Woo ......"

Returning to the place where he grew up, Rhubarb looked a little excited, and after running around the front and back of the house, he came to Qin Feng's side with his ears drooping, as if he also felt that something was missing.

After saying goodbye to the Liu family, Qin Feng came to this place where he and his sister had lived for five years.

Looking at the already dilapidated bungalow, Qin Feng felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and heard Ma Si say that since the murder here, none of the later scavengers dared to live in.

Both sides of the railway are overgrown with tall weeds, which seem more and more barren, and the sheepherds that I used to see in the past are gone.

Qin Feng stood in front of the house for a long time, when it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, a train roared by, I don't know if it was because of the murder that year, the water filling points here were abandoned.

"Rhubarb, where do you say Xiao Jia will go?"

Qin Feng's voice was a little bitter, he picked up the backpack at his feet, and said to himself: "Rhubarb, go, I just use my feet to measure, and I have to finish this railway!" ”

In the setting sun, next to the winding railroad tracks ahead, a man and a dog were pulled out of two long backs, and the teenager with a travel bag was still talking to the big yellow dog from time to time, and occasionally got two responses of "Wang".

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Half a month later, Qin Feng, who was in the dust, came to a freight yard thirty kilometers away from Jintian City.

Jintian City Freight Station is the largest train transit yard from Beijing and Tianjin to various places, and hundreds of trucks are deployed here every day to replace the head of the locomotive and drive to all parts of the country.

"Jintian, I don't know if I can get news from my sister."

Qin Feng, who walked all the way along the railroad tracks, returned to his image four or five years ago at this time, although the clothes on his body were not so shabby, but they became dirty, and even the travel bag behind him was covered with dust.

Qin Feng's young face was full of exhaustion, and the beard that looked a little soft in the past had also become black and hard, making his age seem to be several years older out of thin air.

The train of trucks set off from Cangzhou, but first turned into Quancheng, and then returned to Jintian from Quancheng, the route was very complicated, and Qin Feng walked a lot more.

Measuring hundreds of kilometers with his feet, Qin Feng did not let go of any train stops and places where there were people along the way, but what disappointed him was that he still didn't get any news from his sister.

"Rhubarb, you've eaten......"

Qin Feng sat on a stone step next to the tracks, and took out a plastic bag from his backpack, which contained five or six steamed buns and two catties of cooked beef.

After sandwiching beef in the three steamed buns and feeding them to the rhubarb, Qin Feng devoured the remaining two, and now is the time for him to grow his body, so naturally he will not treat himself badly.

Took out an enamel jar, Qin Feng poured a little water from the kettle to Rhubarb, stood up and looked left and right, on both sides of a freight yard like this, there are usually some small factories or shops.

"Rhubarb, don't run around!"

Touching the rhubarb who was drinking water, Qin Feng walked towards a compound dozens of meters away, but as soon as he turned around, Rhubarb picked up the jar with his mouth and followed him.

"Anyone?" Before coming to the gatehouse, Qin Feng shouted loudly, he remembered that he had also come to this yard a few years ago, but this factory seemed to be closed at that time.

"Who?"

With the words, an old man in his sixties walked out of the porter, glanced at Qin Feng outside the door, his brows suddenly wrinkled, and he said angrily: "If you want to eat, hurry up, Bai Chang is such a big man, why can't you eat enough?" ”

In the eighties and nineties, there was a famous team, that is, the "blind stream", which literally means that people who blindly flow from the countryside to the city.

The blind stream can be traced back to the national famine in the late fifties, when almost all non-urban residents had begged for food.

Later, anyone who did not have a town hukou was included in this ranks, and some people who begged for food were the main force in the blind stream, because their mobility was in line with the characteristics of the blind stream.

The author does not have any discrimination against this group of people, but it is undeniable that this mobility has given birth to many crimes, not to mention petty theft, and many cases of vicious injuries have also occurred among this group.

So in the late 90s, as long as many people saw those homeless people picking up rags, they would subconsciously take some precautions.

This small factory lost some steel some time ago, so the old man who guarded the door naturally didn't have a good face for Qin Feng, and it was already good that he didn't use a broom to drive people away.

"Uncle, I'm not asking for food."

Although he had asked for food for a while with his sister at first, Qin Feng did not agree with this statement, and after correcting the old man's title very seriously, Qin Feng took out a pack of cigarettes, saluted the old man, and said: "Uncle, I really don't want to eat, I passed by you and wanted to beg for saliva to drink." ”

"Oh, Hongta Mountain? Where did you steal it? ”

Seeing the cigarette in Qin Feng's hand, the old man at the gate was stunned for a moment, but then his face was full of anger, and he reached out and picked up the big broom at the door, and the jiashi seemed to be really about to beat someone.

"Wang ......"

As soon as the old man waved the broom, Rhubarb rushed out from behind Qin Feng unexpectedly, and bit on the broom, so frightened that the old man hurriedly threw down the broom and took several steps back.

"Rhubarb, come back."

Qin Feng called out rhubarb, threw the bag of Hongtashan over casually, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, mine is not asking for food, just forget it if you don't give saliva to drink, can I ask you something?" ”

"Boy, why are you dressed like this?"

In ninety-seven years, a pack of Hongtashan will be sold for nine yuan, and the old man's monthly salary is only more than 200, and he usually smokes a few cents a pack of big front doors.

Seeing that Qin Feng threw over a whole pack of cigarettes without hesitation, coupled with Qin Feng's Jintian accent, the old man believed Qin Feng's words a little.

"Uncle, I came all the way from Cangzhou, can this body be clean?"

Qin Feng stuffed the cigarette he had just held in his hand into the old man's hand, then took out a disposable lighter, helped the old man light the fire, and said, "Uncle, let's give saliva to drink first, this weather is hot and ...... death."

Since the nineties, this summer has come earlier and earlier every year.

At this moment, it is only May, and the sun is already very hot, especially when walking on the stone ground next to the railroad tracks, the ground can steam out a hot steam, and after eating the cooked beef sandwich bun, Qin Feng is even more smoky in his throat.

"Okay, come into the house, don't let the dog in, what do you think is dirty?"

The old man enjoyed Qin Feng's all-round service very much, and after taking a puff of cigarette, Meimei's face eased a lot, and then said: "There is a cistern over there, which is used for brushing cars, and I will go back and wash your dog, this smell is very big." ”

"Rhubarb, go, wash yourself."

Qin Feng shouted at the rhubarb, turned around and took the teapot handed by the old man and opened it coldly, and after drinking it in one gulp, he said with a wry smile: "I don't even have the water to drink, how can I have the time to bathe him?" ”

"Tell me, young man, how did you get this way?"

For the sake of the bag of Hongta Mountain, after Qin Feng finished drinking the water, the old man handed over a wet towel and said, "Where did you come from?" Why did you come here from Cangzhou if you had nothing to do? ”

Generally, most of the people who come to this freight yard are migrant workers who want to go home to save travel expenses, or blind streams who want to change cities to earn a living, but it is rare to see Qin Feng who comes all the way with a big dog.

"Uncle, that's right."

Qin Feng had already said smoothly along the way, "My sister and I used to play on the railway, once my sister climbed onto a flatbed, who knew that the train started all of a sudden, and my sister couldn't get down, I ...... I've been looking for this for years......"

Qin Feng didn't know how many times he had repeated these words, but every time he finished speaking, the other party's reaction would always disappoint him, and this time Qin Feng didn't have much hope.

However, after listening to Qin Feng's words, the old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Your sister? How old is the child? There are a lot of stray children in the yard every year, and if you want me to say, it's really hard to say......"

"My sister looked like she was eight or nine years old four years ago, with very white skin, big eyes, and a smile like a crescent moon, yes, she had a doll head at the time."

Hearing the old man's words, Qin Feng's eyes lit up suddenly, grabbed the old man's arm, and said hurriedly: "Uncle, you ...... Have you seen my sister? ”
