At about half past seven, footsteps were heard on the stairs.

Zabu and Pang Feiteng stood up and walked to the door.

The one who came up was Qiangba. Could it be that the three of Zhuobu's father and son have already arrived?

Unfortunately, the wall did not come to report the news, he came to greet dinner: "Zabu, can dinner be delivered?" ”

Zabu looked at Director Cao and said.

"Director Cao, wait a minute." Zhao Zimeng said.

"Wait a little longer! It's not too late to eat after the three of them come. Director Cao walked to the door.

Qiangba "kick-kick-kick-" went downstairs, and then "kick-kick-kick-" came upstairs, the rhythm was much faster, and the voice was much higher, and when he was about to reach the door, he shouted upstairs: "Here it is - the old descendant is coming." ”

Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei and Pang Feiteng rushed out of the room, and Director Cao followed closely behind.

A young man led the way in front and led the three people upstairs, the one who walked in front was Jianyang Tashi, and behind him was an old man of about seventy years old with a dark face, a dusty face, and a wrinkled face.

The old man's one eye was blazing, and the other was half-closed, revealing no light. Undoubtedly, this person is Jianyang Zhuobu.

I don't know what's going on, Zhao Zimeng's heart is a little sour, the old man's hair is gray, his back is slightly hunched, and he is already old. The height of the old man is about 1.65 meters, and his facial features are like a knife, with sharp edges and corners; The wrinkles on the brow and the corners of the eyes crisscrossed like crumpled and unfolded paper.

Zhao Zimeng rushed down the stairs, causing Hu Yunfei and Pang Feiteng to follow.

At the turn of the stairs, the upper and lower passers-by turn together.

"Abba, this is Captain Zhao I told you, Captain Zhao, this is my Abba."

Zhao Zimeng held the old man's rough hand tightly.

Although the hand is rough, it is very powerful, some people shake hands hard, some people shake hands without force, do not use force, should be regarded as a kind of coping, the old man's hand is hard to hold, the hard hand, is the hand with the heart. I didn't know each other, just with this small action, Zhao Zimeng felt the sincerity of the old man.

"Old man, I'm sorry to let your old man walk so far to 'Gudun Town'!" Zhao Zimeng said.

"It's okay, I've been running on this road for most of my life, and I've long been accustomed to it, but I've wronged you, this kind of suffering is not something ordinary people can bear." There was a sincere smile on his bronzed face, and his voice was as loud as a bronze bell.

Zhao Zimeng supported Yang Zhuobu's right arm, slowly approached the room, led him to the kang and sat down, then looked at Qiangba and said, "Brother, bring dinner up!" Is there any soup? ”

"What soup do you want?"

"What soup quenches thirst and fatigue?"

"Mutton vermicelli mushroom soup."

"A big bowl per person."

Qiangba went downstairs with his guys.

Ling Hu Yunfei walked to the corner of the wall, carried a hot water bottle, poured it into the copper basin, then picked up the wooden bucket, mixed a little cold water into the copper basin, and finally put the towel hanging on the wall into the basin: "Old man, you wash your face first, and go to remove the dust on your face." ”

"How can I bother you to do such a thing?" Zhuobu was a little flattered.

Ling Hu Yunfei did this not to be polite, let alone put on a show, from the moment he saw Yang Zhuobu, he was in awe of this old man.

This kind of emotion did not come out of thin air, before that, a lot of information related to Yang Zhuobu had been stored in Ling Hu Yunfei's brain - as long as he thought of Yang Zhuobu's tragic life experience and life experience, Ling Hu Yunfei's heart was uncomfortable.

In the past, he also knew what serfdom was all about in Tibet, but all this information was learned from books and movies, and now this man who had struggled under the oppression of inhumane serfdom was sitting in front of him.

Jianyang Hule carried his father to the copper basin: "Abba, you can wash it!" ”

Yang Zhuobu lowered his head and bent over, picked up the towel and rubbed it in the water a few times, then put his face on the towel and washed it, the old man dried the towel, straightened his waist, and wiped the water off his face.

Pang Feiteng clearly saw that the corners of Zhuobu's eyes were a little red. Pang Feiteng and Ling Hu Yunfei were soldiers together, and after recovery, they got along with each other day and night in the criminal investigation team, and fought side by side for more than ten years, he knew Ling Hu Yunfei too well.

Ling Hu Yunfei has such a characteristic, in criminal investigation work, no matter who you are, in addition to the suspect, as long as it is the person who comes into contact with him, whether you are a man or a woman, and whether you are an old man or a child, Ling Hu Yunfei can shorten the distance between him and you in a short time, which is completely due to the most simple feelings hidden in his heart.

After washing their faces, Pang Feiteng and Jianyang Hule helped Jianyang Zhuobu to sit down by the kang.

"You brothers should wash your faces, too." Ling Hu Yunfei looked at the dark and shiny faces of the two brothers.

The brothers put the fur hats on the kang and washed their faces one by one.

In Linghu Yunfei's opinion, the father and son of Jianyang Zhuobu are the people he respects the most.

"Captain Zhao, Tashi and Hule have already told me about the situation." Zhuo Bu motioned for Hu Yunfei to sit down.

Pang Feiteng took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Jianyang Zhuobu, the old man pushed it with his hand, and then took out a cloth bag embroidered with Tibetan patterns and a smoking gun about 30 centimeters long from his waist. ”

The old man put the cigarette gun into the cloth bag, pressed his fingers into the cigarette gun head a few times through the cloth bag, and then took out the cigarette gun head, the cigarette gun head was stuffed with golden tobacco, and Yang Zhuobu took out a box of matches from the sleeve, took out one, stroked it, and lit the tobacco in the smoke pot.

"Old man, let's talk about the case after dinner, okay?" With Zhao Zimeng's mood at this time, he wanted to talk now, but seeing the old man's tired appearance, he was a little unbearable, since the person had already come, he was not in a hurry to meet for a while.

As soon as Zhao Zimeng's words landed, the door of the room opened, and the three guys walked into the room one after another, each holding a wooden plate in their hands.

The dinner was very rich, with steamed buns, tsamba, beef, bacon, chili sauce, mutton and mushroom vermicelli soup.

Ling Hu Yunfei sat next to Jianyang Zhuobu, he put vegetables into the bowl of Jianyang Zhuobu from time to time, Pang Feiteng and Director Cao also learned from Ling Hu Yunfei's way to pick up vegetables for Jianyang Tashi and Jianyang Hule brothers to eat.

After dinner, Zhao Zimeng asked Qiangba to make a large pot of tea, eight people sat around the square table, and the conversation between Zhao Zimeng and Jianyang Zhuobu officially began.

This is also a moment that I am looking forward to with you.

Because the content of the conversation has a certain direction, and the Tashi brothers have already told the general situation to Jianyang Zhuobu, they know what to say and what not to say.

"Captain Zhao, when the Tashi brothers suddenly rushed back to Kangding to tell me about this matter, my aunt and I couldn't believe it, although Gaya's child has a strong personality, he is also a little unruly - this is mostly my sin, I have been married to his aunt for several years, and I have never had a child, and suddenly I have a son, and I am very happy in my heart, so. Usually you have to spoil him and spoil him. ”

"But his essence is not bad, he has been very well-behaved since he was a child, he listens to me very much - he is also very filial, I didn't expect him to do such a thing."

"Old man, can you tell us about any special marks on the body of Yang Gaya?"

"Didn't Tashi and the two brothers tell you?"

"We also want to get confirmation from you, after all, that you are the one who adopted Yangaya."

"Xiao Gaya has three black moles on her buttocks, which she can see clearly when she is a child, and she will be even clearer when she grows up."

"In his crunch socket - this is this crunch pit," the old man pointed to his right crunch pit, "there is a birthmark in the shape of a butterfly." Xiao Gaya likes to eat broad beans since he was a child, once, due to too much force, the tooth below cracked a slit, half a year later, the tooth fell out of one side, originally, his tooth gap is very tight, since the loss of a side, it left a gap. ”

"Old man, we heard that Janyang Gaya has been to Honghe Town before, and twice."

"Yes, I've been there twice. It was him—before he went to high school—that summer, I took him there for the first time, he had a strong personality, he couldn't endure a little hardship, he couldn't bear a little grievance, his aunt couldn't control him, so I took him to Honghe Town. ”

"I really hope that he will be more sensible after seeing me eating and sleeping in the open air, and after eating hard and suffering."

"The second time he insisted on going. It's all my carelessness, I took him back from Honghe Town, how can I take him to Honghe Town? She also blamed the midwife, she said that the child was the child of a family in the countryside far away from Honghe Town, and she didn't tell me about the twins. ”

"Do you mean to say that it was because of these two visits to Honghe Town that he discovered his background?"

"Isn't it? After returning to Kangding from Honghe Town for the second time, he became a completely different person, speaking little all day long, and his personality has also changed a lot. ”

"Did you mention this to you?"

"On the way back to Kangding from Honghe Town for the second time, Xiao Gaya said a very strange thing to me."

"What?"

"He said he saw a man who looked exactly like him in Honghe Town."

Aren't twin brothers exactly the same?

"At that time, I didn't take his words seriously, and there are more people in the world who look alike. If I knew that Xiao Gaya had a brother who was the same as him, I would not let him go to Honghe Town, and I would pay special attention and be extra careful. ”

"Actually, the first time I took him to Honghe Town, he saw this person named Wang Hongbao - otherwise, he wouldn't have pestered me to come to Honghe Town."

"Did he leave you for a while when you took him to Honghe Town?"
