Chapter 4 Scented "Briquettes"
Hearing this, there was a dead silence at the scene, Director Liu lowered his head and seemed thoughtful, and he asked the neighbor again: "Have you found anything abnormal in his house in the past two days?"
The neighbor scratched his head: "The two children had an accident, and the neighbors in the street felt very uncomfortable, and we have been running to his house a lot in the past few days - by the way!" I had diarrhea in the middle of the night last night, and I just walked to the middle of the yard, and I happened to hear a knock on the door of his house, and I was still wondering at that time, it was three o'clock in the morning, who would visit the door at this point. ”
Director Liu nodded and asked his two subordinates to follow Lao Wang back to the deceased's house to check on it.
A few days later, I learned that the death of these two people, the police station characterized it as suicide, for this result, I don't know what others think, anyway, I don't believe it.
After the neighbors of Hewang Village went back, Director Liu said while shaking the water on his clothes: "This heavy rain is purely to cause damage, and the salvage work has to be suspended, so let's pack up our things and withdraw!"
In fact, there were not many things, except for diving and salvage equipment, three black boxes and two glassware containing baby specimens were fished out today.
Director Liu asked the other three subordinates to move things, he called the salvage man from the city to the side, the three of them muttered and talked, I was a little far away, I couldn't hear what was said, I saw the two salvage men nodding while listening.
I thought to myself, "Good work!" Collect it for me. Greetings from the director" and other similar polite words.
At this moment, I only heard the sound of "clang", and looked at the sound, and saw a broken black box scattered on the ground. Cha was stunned.
Yu Jin happened to be standing next to him, he let out a "huh" and bent down to pick up the contents of the box.
I saw him peel it off casually, probably after soaking in the water for too long, the black plastic paper fell to the ground, and I could see what was wrapped inside.
It was a jet-black, ball-like object slightly larger than an adult's fist, a bit like a briquette.
"Throw it away!! Fast! ”
I was just about to go over to see what was going on, when I was startled by two shouts coming from behind me almost at the same time, and as soon as I turned around, I saw Li Guozhi and Director Liu running to my side angrily.
"You're tired of being crooked, aren't you?"
Director Liu pointed at Yu Jin, his face was very ugly.
"I ...... I'm just going to pick it up. Yu Jin was also stunned, and the "briquette" fell to the ground.
Director Liu was very angry, and after scolding twice, he asked Li Guozhi to hurry back with the people from the Yellow River Water Conservancy Station, which made several brothers in the station a little annoyed, damn! Isn't this a typical river crossing and demolition! However, Li Guozhi is here, and it is not easy for a few of us to spread it out if we are angry.
As soon as one foot stepped into the car, I heard Director Liu behind me keep his subordinates away from the "briquettes" that fell to the ground, which made people even more puzzled, and almost at the same time, I suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.
Tian Zhen on one side also muttered: "Hey? What smells so good! ”
Suddenly, a lightning bolt crossed my head, and the smell of this smell sounded! My gaze was fixed on the "briquette" more than ten meters away, and in an instant, a strange memory that happened more than ten years ago surfaced in my mind.
I've seen this "briquette" before, and I've smelled this scent that makes you forget it for the rest of your life.
It was more than ten years ago, when I was about eight or nine years old, and I remember it was also a rainy day, and my dad was wet. I came home with a solemn expression.
When he saw me, he didn't seem very happy and asked me to go to the bedroom to play for a while.
At that time, there were no mobile phones and computers, and on such rainy days, the only pastime for children was to watch cartoons, and the TV was placed in the living room.
When I was a child, I was an obedient child, and I was about to go back to the bedroom, when I turned around and noticed that my father was carrying a black plastic bucket in his hand, and there seemed to be something in the bucket.
Could it be that Dad caught a big fish? I vaguely remember thinking this at the time.
I've been fishing since I was a child, and all my thoughts are put into the black bucket.
As he was about to step into the bedroom, he turned around and glanced again, and saw his father put the black bucket behind the small dining table. After a few minutes in the bedroom, I saw through the crack in the door that my father had taken off his wet clothes and walked into his bedroom.
Thinking that he had to get rid of it first. Lower whole body wet. Clothes, and then dry my body and hair, and then I can change into dry clothes, and when he is done, at least four or five minutes, which is enough time for me to see what fish are in the black bucket.
I tiptoed to the table, thinking to myself, what kind of fish could be in this bucket? Carp? Crucian? Or grass carp?
But after bending down to see the contents of the bucket clearly, he was stunned on the spot.
Half a bucket of water was soaked in something wrapped in a red plastic bag - it wasn't even fish!
Sometimes I have to admit that curiosity is too heavy, and it will kill people! I hesitated, but reached out and pulled out the contents of the bucket.
It's heavy! It should be metal or stone. That's the first thing I feel when I pick it up.
The doubts in my mind became more and more serious, and after a little hesitation, I still ripped off the red plastic sheet wrapped around like an orange peel.
What happened next is something I will never forget!
When I peeled off two layers of plastic sheeting in a row, I saw that it was a black and round thing, and at the same time I smelled a strange fragrance that I had never smelled before, as if it was mixed with flowers, food, and many other scents.
Just as I was stunned, there was a shout from behind me, and my father yelled at me to throw something into the water.
As soon as I let go, my dad rushed up and grabbed me by the collar, and started work left and right, and there were six or seven slaps in one breath, which made my ears buzz in pain, and there were only small stars flashing in front of me.
I remember this was the first time my dad had beaten me since I was so old.
I don't remember much about what happened next, but I haven't seen or smelled this black ball since this incident.
Half a year after this incident, my father suddenly disappeared, and that day I came home from school and saw my mother lying on the bed. Crying, there are still a few wades of money on his side.
I asked her what was wrong, and she just whispered that my dad was away from home and might not be back for a long time, and when I asked again, she just cried.
This is more than ten years, my father has never come back, and my mother has also died of illness a few years ago.
……
"Brother, what kind of god are you stunned?" Tian Zhen shook his hand in front of my eyes, pulling my thoughts back to reality, "Yo! Why are you crying? ”
I wiped my tears and smiled bitterly, "It's okay! Something fascinated the eye. ”
On the way back to the station, I was a little overwhelmed by all sorts of thoughts.
What the hell is this black "briquette"? Judging from the reactions of my father back then and Director Liu today, this thing seems to be very important and dangerous.
