"Brother Zhi, why didn't you get a fish?" After pondering it, it turned out that there were vegetables and meat on the table, but there was no fish.

Living on the edge of the Yellow River, especially for people like us who deal directly with the Yellow River, fish is the most common appetizer, get two or three catties of grass carp, chop it into pieces, put a bag of sauerkraut, cook for ten or twenty minutes, and a pot of fragrant sauerkraut fish is ready.

In fact, I don't care what to eat, I just asked casually, but I didn't expect that as soon as my words fell, Li Guozhi's chopsticks froze in the air.

"I don't eat fish!" After a pause for a few seconds, Li Guozhi said coldly.

We could clearly feel a hint of displeasure on his otherwise calm face.

Old man, why don't you eat fish yet? Seeing that he was a little displeased, I didn't ask again.

The meal was very awkward, and he didn't leave me to sit any longer after the meal, but when I was about to reach the gate, he called out to me.

"Wait a minute!"

Li Guozhi's trembling voice came from behind.

I turned around: "Huh? Brother Zhi, what's the matter? ”

"Brother! People's life is not easy, we are just a speck of dust between heaven and earth, too small, too humble, too fragile, more than one thing is better than one less! ”

He shouted these words word by word, and he pronounced the words very clearly, but I heard them in a fog, and these words gave people a strange feeling, drunk? How to talk about "chicken soup for the soul"!

I waved my hand at Li Guozhi and went back to the dormitory, mainly because I didn't know what to respond to.

The next morning, I took a leave of absence to go to Director Liu.

The Hekou District Police Station was more than 30 miles away from us, and it was not yet nine o'clock when we found the deputy director's office.

"Director Liu!"

The door to his office was wide open, and I stood in the door and whispered politely.

"You? - Please come in! Something? ”

Director Liu looked up and looked surprised when he saw me.

I didn't want to be too long-winded, so I went straight to the point: "Director Liu, I want to ask about the black boxes salvaged in the Yellow River."

Director Liu was obviously stunned for a moment, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a "click": "You...... What is this thing for, you ask? ”

The tone suddenly became unfriendly.

In front of the director of the police station, I am afraid that I can't hide it if I want to, if I lie, it will be even worse if I am exposed.

I've briefly told you what happened more than ten years ago.

"And this?" Director Liu bent down to pick up the pen, and his voice was a little unnatural.

"I suspect that my father's disappearance has something to do with the jet-black orbs he brought back back that year, so I ......"

Before I finished speaking, Director Liu waved his hand: "Little brother, tell you the truth!" The things salvaged in the Yellow River are related to several old cases, which are tasks assigned by the superiors, and we are also investigating, and it is really inconvenient to disclose too much information. ”

When I tried to open my mouth again, he excused himself and said that he had something. Grandma's! Even a fool can see that this is an eviction order.

When I got out of the police station, I was angry, damn it! Neither of them told me, Lao Tzu checked it himself!

But when I calmed down and pondered about it, it was not all fruitless, and I could clearly feel that when I mentioned the black stone in the box, Li Guozhi and Director Liu behaved very unnaturally.

From this, it can be concluded that these salvaged "briquettes" must not be ordinary things.

After wandering all the way, I unconsciously returned to the station, and as soon as I entered the gate, I saw two cars parked in the yard.

Worst! It must have been checked by someone from the Water Conservancy Bureau, and I was about to smear oil on the soles of my feet, when I heard someone shouting to me: "Lu Dong, you came just in time, let me introduce our big leader!"

As soon as I heard the voice, I knew who it was.

"He Stationmaster!"

When I turned around, I saw Stationmaster He, who had not come to work in the station for more than ten days, standing at the door of the office, in addition to Li Guozhi, there were four people beside him, a man and a woman, two young people about the same age as me, a fat man still holding a fan in his hand, and another middle-aged man standing aside, looking like a driver.

"This is Director Fu of the Water Conservancy Bureau, and this time he is here to send talents to our station." As he spoke, he pointed to a man and a woman, two young people.

The man's name is Han Binhua, and the woman's name is Wu Jinghan, both of whom are graduate students in the Department of History of Shandong University.

I think I know a lot about the so-called practical classes for high-achieving students like them, which is nothing more than finding a place to play for two days, then taking some photos, and most importantly, stamping the report of the practice class that is made up.

I wasn't interested in what the two of them were going to do, but the girl's appearance still made me look at it a few more times.

Wu Jinghan is 1.6 meters tall, with black hair, white skin, a high nose bridge, and a small mouth.

After the deputy director left, Stationmaster He said a few polite words, told us to do a good job, and drove away.

At this time, I noticed that Li Guozhi's complexion was not very good-looking, his eyes were red and swollen, and his sockets were black.

"Lu Dong, Yu Jin and Tian Zhen have gone to inspect the river embankment, you can help them arrange a place to live, and then lead them around the station, you are about the same age!" After that, without waiting for my response, he turned around and went back to the office.

The biggest advantage of our station is that there are many houses, there are exactly two rooms next door to my house, and the rooms are just simply decorated, but they are clean.

I understood the meaning of Li Guozhi's words, which was nothing more than asking me to show them where the canteen and toilet were.

I consciously arranged Wu Jinghan in a room close to me, and helped them carry water and mops, and cleaned them briefly.

At noon, Li Guozhi specially asked Aunt Hu to stew half a pot of pork ribs, and fried a chicken spicy, and after the dishes were served, he just wanted to start eating, and the door of the canteen was pushed open.

Yao Liguo and Tian Zhen walked in with Yu Jin on their hands.

"What's going on?"

Li Guozhi hurriedly asked.

"Maybe it rained a little yesterday and I had a little cold and I felt ...... I feel powerless. ”

I also wanted to be able to be able in front of Wu Jinghan, and quipped: "You are 1.85 meters tall, so squeamish? Feel like this, Xiong Cheng is like this! ”

introduced Wu Jinghan and Han Binhua to them, said hello to each other, and sat down to eat.

There are also two workers in our factory, both of whom are temporary workers in a nearby village, and they usually go home for dinner.

It's fun to have friends from afar! Eating at the same table with beautiful women, Tian Zhen and Yao Li spoke much more Mandarin than usual, but Yu Jin always drooped his head and his face was pale.

Halfway through eating, Yu Jin began to tickle, touching his neck for a while, digging his thighs for a while, looking uncomfortable.

"If you're not feeling well, should you go back and rest early?"

Li Guozhi asked with concern.

"That's fine! I'm also full, so I'll go back to the dormitory to lie down, and I don't know what happened today, I always feel that something is not quite right with my body. Yu Jin smiled at us embarrassedly and got up and walked out of the cafeteria.

Yu Jin didn't go to work in the afternoon, we plus two graduate students, went to the river for a turn, after yesterday's heavy rain, the Yellow River finally looked like a river again.

In fact, the dikes on both sides of the Yellow River have been strong enough in recent years, and it is estimated that there will not be another disaster like that of '98.

When I returned to the station in the evening, I thought I should come to see Yu Jin, who was sick, and the brothers got along well during the more than a month of work.

came to the door of Yu Jin's dormitory, knocked on the door for more than a minute, and the door creaked open.

"Brother Jin, you won't be pretending to be sick......" Before he finished speaking, he looked up and saw Yu Jin's face.

I immediately exclaimed, "Your ...... Your face!! ”
