I was fascinated by what was going on, and I was eager to know what was going on behind it, but the old king stopped when he said this, and when I looked up, I saw that the person had fallen asleep with his head tilted.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, it seems that the story of the white snake will have to be heard next time.

I really wanted to hear this story, and in addition to curiosity, there was another reason, and that was the white shadow I saw that night before I fell unconscious by the Yellow River.

In fact, when I first heard Lao Wang mention the white snake, I had a bold idea: could the long white shadow that flashed by be a giant snake!

Lao Wang's daughter-in-law brought a few hot steamed buns: "Eat quickly!" Leave your Uncle Wang alone, he won't wake up in an hour or two. ”

I had no choice but to take it away.

In the afternoon, I had nothing to do, so I stayed at Lao Wang's house to help Lao Wang's daughter-in-law dry furniture.

"It's all old furniture, it's been here for many years, and your Uncle Wang is reluctant to throw it away."

Lao Wang's daughter-in-law opened the side room and pointed to a pile of messy things.

The rain was too heavy the night before, and the water entered the side room, and the old Wang and his family wanted to move out in the afternoon to dry in the sun, but who knew that the old guy drank two glasses of wine and fell asleep, and I could only do this work.

After more than an hour of work, I was so tired that I was sweating profusely, and finally finished moving, and what made me even more distressed was that I had to stay and help her move back before sunset.

Lao Wang's daughter-in-law took the opportunity to take a broom to go in to clean up, and I was bored and casually flipped through the old photo album in the drawer.

I flipped through a few pages, and the photos in front were old, and a few were in black and white, which looked a little old.

Lao Wang used to be a soldier!!

Thinking about it, this is not unusual, who can be the village party secretary for no reason.

Soon I turned to the very page of the album, which was a few black and white photos that looked very old, and suddenly my eyes swept to one of the photos, and I was immediately attracted by the person in the photo.

This is a group photo of four people, looking at the appearance of hooking shoulders and backs, the relationship between the four young people should be good, I recognized Lao Wang at first sight, he grinned, although Lao Wang was not handsome when he was young, but he was very spirited.

There was a thin man standing on Lao Wang's left, at first I just felt familiar, but after a closer look, I suddenly gasped.

It turned out to be Lao Hong, Lao Hong's right arm hooked Lao Wang's shoulder, and it was obvious that the two should be very familiar.

Lao Hong actually knew Lao Wang, so why did they seem to be strangers that day? Recalling the whole process of going down to the river for the first time that afternoon, neither of them said a word.

"Auntie, this ...... When was this photo taken? "I'm a little incoherent, but the time is clearly printed in the bottom left corner of the photo.

"On May 4, 1985, I took a photo at the gate of the factory." The photo should have been taken 30 years ago, I actually wanted to ask how there was such a photo, how did Lao Wang know Lao Hong?

Lao Wang's daughter-in-law wiped the sweat on her hands with a towel, took the album and looked at it twice: "Ao! This was taken with your colleagues when you were a security guard after the recovery of Uncle Wang's army, and it has been many years. ”

This is very informative, Lao Wang worked as a security guard thirty years ago, and he is a colleague with Lao Hong? So this factory is the pharmaceutical factory in Yao Liguo's mouth?

Seeing that I was stunned, the old Wang's daughter-in-law asked, "What's wrong?"

I hurriedly waved my hand: "It's okay, it's okay!" I'm just curious - who are the other people? ”

Lao Wang's daughter-in-law took a closer look: "It seems that several of them entered the factory in the same year, and after the factory closed down, your Uncle Wang returned to the village and had no contact with them."

I still want to ask again, seeing that Lao Wang's daughter-in-law is a little busy, I am not embarrassed.

Let's wait for Lao Wang to wake up and ask him! Thinking so, I decided to stay for another dinner, and in the evening I persuaded Lao Wang not to drink, and asked me to understand what he said.

After making up my mind, I will work more energetically, and my sweat and strength can always change a dinner!

I picked up the broom and wanted to go in to help, but at this time, the phone rang, and when I took it out, it turned out to be Wu Jinghan calling.

"Xiao Wu, is there something going on in the station?"

"No, it's because I don't want to be in the station all the time, I want to ...... Want to go out for a walk, can I go to your place? ”

There was shyness in his voice.

"Yes! Why can't you - but how do you get here? "There are only two cars in the factory, an old Santana and the other is a pickup truck used for work, and there are dead people in the body, and generally no one wants to touch them.

"It just so happened that a fellow came to the station to do something, and he said that he could take me to the entrance of Hewang Village."

"That's fine! It just so happened that the neighbors caught some white carp, so you are in good fortune! ”

Wu Jinghan, who could hear the other side of the phone, was a little surprised, and was stunned for a few seconds before replying: "Then when I arrive, I will call you, you have to come out and pick me up!"

I told Lao Wang's daughter-in-law that there was a female graduate student who practiced in our station and wanted to come for a meal, and she grinned happily.

"Okay! I stewed the fish earlier, and then fried a chicken, there are fish and chickens, and that is the landlord's life. ”

Wu Jinghan was wearing a denim suit, standing at the intersection with his hands behind his back, leading her to Lao Wang's house on the way, and kept asking about the white carp.

It was close to evening when Lao Wang woke up and scratched his head at me embarrassedly.

"I'm so drunk and sleeping......"

The dinner was very rich, and the old Wang's daughter-in-law praised me, saying that I was capable and polite, saying that I had a future, and that I might be able to be the stationmaster in a few years, which made me embarrassed.

She must have misunderstood the relationship between me and Wu Jinghan, and most of the people in the village are enthusiastic.

Wu Jinghan was not interested in her words, she opened her mouth and closed her mouth to see a white carp, and it was not until Lao Wang and I talked in detail about the events before and after catching the fish this morning, that she nodded with a puzzled expression.

"Xiao Wu, you are a graduate student specializing in the ancient culture of the Yellow River, and you have never seen this kind of carp?"

Wu Jinghan shook his head: "Not only have I never seen it, but I have also read a few books about fish in the Yellow River Basin, and I don't remember that there are any relevant records." ”

Lao Wang sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Wu Jinghan, and said with a smile: "What do you want to do so much, there are all kinds of strange things in the Yellow River, this is not unusual." ”

Taking advantage of Wu Jinghan's time to eat fish, I quickly took the album and pulled out the old black and white photos of the four of them: "Uncle Wang, do you know Lao Hong where we stand?" ”

When I said this, I noticed that the expression on Lao Wang's face had changed significantly, and he was silent for a few seconds before he spoke: "I know, but I don't know each other, we all worked in the Yellow River Pharmaceutical Factory, but he is a regular worker, and I am a temporary security guard." ”

I think this should be true.

I asked, "Then why is the factory closed?" This was just a casual question.

Lao Wang smiled bitterly: "Who knows this!" Later, I heard that it was related to a museum, but this museum was washed away in the flood of '98. ”

"Museums? What museum? Wu Jinghan hurriedly asked.

"It's called the Yellow River Museum, which was built on the edge of the Yellow River at that time, more than 100 miles away from our village, and there are some strange objects related to the Yellow River, right! I think the snake kid who was caught in the river that day may be something from the museum. ”
