626, the old place is revisited, where is the old man now
The rain stopped, a rainbow crossed the mountain behind the martyrs' cemetery, and the sun came out of the clouds and shone softly, shining brightly on the small white flowers that had just been drenched in the rain.
As she was leaving, the poppy glanced back and saw that all the pictures on the tombstones were shining in the sunlight.
Peng Jiahu sent them to Mangdian, because he had to rush back to Proton for a meeting, so he entrusted Shi Dazhuang and Yu Meiren to Chen Changshou, the director of the Mangdian Police Station. The incident three years ago made him feel uneasy, although the drug situation and law and order are much better now than then, but Shi Dazhuang and Yu Gang are not ordinary people, they were the thorns in the side of those drug dealers back then, how many people were sent to prison by them, in case someone comes to retaliate, it is not a joke.
He repeatedly confessed: "Third son, the person can be handed over to you, if something happens, you will smooth your face with a whetstone and come to see me again!" ”
Director Chen's nickname is Sanzi, and he used to be a member of the anti-drug brigade, and he is Peng Jiahu's henchman. When Muka entered the country three years ago, Peng Jiahu came to support with eight team members, and his third son was one of them. Later, during the exchange of fire with the Muka gang, four of the eight members of the team were killed on the spot, and two seriously injured later died in hospital.
The third son was also injured, but fortunately survived, but left a little sequelae, like Meng Yan back then, the anti-narcotics police couldn't do it, and it happened that after Meng Yan's death, the Mangdian Police Station was short of people, so he was transferred over, and he was just promoted to director last year.
The third son said: "Team Peng, don't worry, in the past few years, the anti-gang and evil operations have swept away all those hooligan gangs, squatting in prisons, squatting in prisons, reformed in reforms, and the rest are lying on their stomachs in the nest like rats." Who has the guts to make trouble now? Don't talk about moving the police, they dare to try it on the streets! ”
Peng Jiahu said: "You still have to be careful! I'm not afraid of people here, I'm afraid of people coming from the other side of the Nangou River, and this time there is no Aoki teacher to help us. ”
The third son nodded solemnly and said, "Yes! ”
Peng Jiahu left, Chen Changshou asked Shi Dazhuang when he would go to Yuziba, and he arranged a car. Shi Dazhuang saw that it was not early, and it would be dark when he went to Yuziba at this time, and it was easy to cause trouble to people, so he decided to stay in Mangdian for one night before leaving. Chen Changshou accompanied Shi Dazhuang and Yu Meiren to Mangdian Hotel to book a room.
The original five-storey building was gone, replaced by a 20-storey building, with the words "Mangdian Hotel" shining in the sunlight on the roof.
The entrance to the hotel is a marble staircase, and the roof of the porch is supported by four large pillars held together by two people, and two mighty stone lions stand on either side of the porch.
Outside the door is a flower-filled green area and a wide, manicured concrete street, across which are lined with vendors selling tourist souvenirs and some children playing on the side of the street.
Shi Dazhuang stood at the door of the hotel and sighed, he didn't expect Mangdian to change so much. Director Chen said:
"In recent years, the government has vigorously developed tourism, almost all the dams have been opened to roads, and a tourist distribution center has been set up by the Nangou River.
Shi Dazhuang was stunned for a moment and said: "Not far from the Nangou River is Masu Dam, so you are not afraid of drug dealers getting in?" ”
Chen Changshou said with a smile: "The life of the common people is getting better and better, and no one cares about growing marijuana and poppies, and the poisonous scorpions have lost the cover of the masses, and they are not as easy to mix in as before." Moreover, Nangouhe City is under the control of the border guards, and they don't necessarily have the guts, so didn't the madman of Masuba issue an order to prohibit his subordinates from bringing poison here. ”
As soon as he talked about the madman, Shi Dazhuang saw a dirty beggar-looking man coming over, was bombarded by the security guard at the door of the hotel, and left with a curse in his mouth.
The poppy cried out, "Beggar yes! ”
The beggar looked back and laughed, his face the same color as his clumped hair, and the whites of his two eyes were particularly white.
Shi Dazhuang's heart jumped, and he remembered the madman who saved the beauty three years ago, but if he looked closely, it didn't look like it. Yu Meiren also realized that she had recognized the wrong person, smiled a little embarrassedly, took out the money from Peng Jiahu to buy roast chicken, and stuffed it all to the beggar.
The beggar happily took the money, laughed and ran bare-chested, and a group of children chased after him, giggling and singing, singing a nursery rhyme that someone didn't know.
Yu Meiren felt a little uncomfortable, and followed Shi Dazhuang and Chen Changshou into the hotel silently.
The hotel is very clean and well-equipped, which is not the same as the humble environment three years ago, and the mosquito repellent prepared by Shi Dazhuang is not used.
In the evening, Shi Dazhuang took Yu Meiren to walk on the streets of Mangdian, and bought something for the villagers in Yuziba by the way.
Yanma Street is also called Yanma Street, but it does not sell tobacco and hemp, nor does it sell candy, but has become a street of tourist commemorative goods. Hawthorn, red fragrant jade, goat's milk fruit, lemon sprinkle, forest stone, jade, gourd silk, Husa knife...... All kinds of shops are not classified, they are opened one by one, and there are some homestays and small hotels with guide signs, which are much more lively than three years ago.
Looking at the dazzling array of goods, the poppy was in a much better mood.
"Big Daddy, are these really Mangdian's specialties?" She asked curiously.
Shi Dazhuang said with a smile: "Some are, some are not, but in general, they are all specialties of southern Yunnan." ”
The poppy happily walked around the shops, picking up this and looking at it, picking it up and asking about it, proud that there were so many magical things in her hometown, and sad that she didn't even know the souvenirs of her hometown.
Shi Dazhuang saw that she liked it, and wanted to pay for her to buy it, but she didn't want it, she felt that these things were so expensive, but she said: "I am from Mangdian, how can there be a Mangdian person who buys tourist souvenirs in Mangdian!" ”
When he walked half the street, Shi Dazhuang saw a familiar shop. It was the shop where the medicine woman sold medicine in the past, and now it is full of rattan art. A woman sits behind a small table in the store with a computer on it. When the woman saw Shi Dazhuang looking at the door, she shouted at him:
"Mangdian's unique old rattan weaving, are all handmade by the old craftsmen in the dam, small pieces to take away, large pieces free shipping, come in and have a look!"
Seeing these rattan weavings, Shi Dazhuang remembered that Enkun Gong had told him that when he was a child, the Yuziba did not grow poppies, and the people in the dam took the old rattan on the mountain to weave baskets, mats and chairs, and picked them up at the mouth of the Ruihe River to sell them for some oil and salt.
He walked into the shop, picked up a delicate and clumsy rattan basket, looked at it and saw it, and knew that it was indeed an old craft.
The curtain of the inner room was raised, and a sturdy young man walked out with a half-finished barnacle, and when he saw Shi Dazhuang, he was stunned for a moment, and the barnacle bar in his hand fell to the ground, and exclaimed: "Daddy Shi!" ”
Shi Dazhuang turned his head to look, and before he recognized the person, he heard that Yu Meiren was already shouting: "Brother Yusang!" ”
