The sun was no longer visible in the westernmost part of the sky, and the yellowed sunset was only a burning red, reflecting clouds in clusters.

After sending away the three people, one big and two small, Zhang Tu didn't dare to stay in the shop alone, while it was still dawn, he wanted to go home early.

On the way back, Zhang Tu's mind never stopped thinking about the words of the stammering master.

Mountain word vein?

Zhang Tu didn't know what was a mountain character, he only knew how to kill dogs, and how to cook them to make dog meat taste more delicious.

Butchers are not necessarily as vicious as people think, but it is precisely because they have too much blood on their hands that most butchers tend to be more in awe of those things that cannot be seen or touched than ordinary people.

Zhang Tu actually felt a little aggrieved in his heart, putting aside this craft, he asked himself if he had done anything too unfortunate about it, there are people in the world who eat meat, then someone must do this killing thing, just to make a living, who is not to live.

And the mysterious stammering master left without listening to himself finish everything.

There is something that Zhang Tu hasn't had time to say.

The day after the night he met the hordes of yellow skins, Zhang Tu left the house early in the morning, and after handing over the business of the dog meat shop to a few men, he left the shop.

I went to a small alley at the far end of the town, where idle people like to gather and play with money, until they lose the money, they will pat their thighs in frustration and try to get back to their roots.

But the money was lost. So I can only rack my brains to think of some shady means.

Zhang Tu would never come here usually, playing money is a bottomless hole, he knows this truth.

I came here to see if I could wait for someone, Pang Defu.

That is, the man who sold him his dog last night.

They have made many transactions with each other, Zhang Tu knows that Pang Defu does not like to play sieve, he likes to play leaf cards, this kind of cards are longer than mahjong, there are bamboo and paper paper, and mahjong play is similar, also called pai gow.

This thing is Pang Defu's lifeblood, and he just changed money from himself yesterday, as usual, Pang Defu will definitely come to play two.

Someone recognized Zhang Tu and greeted Zhang Tu very enthusiastically to come and play for a while.

After being rejected, the idlers laughed and made fun of Zhang Tu's dull duties.

A group of idlers who have nothing have gathered together to mock a solid person with a family and a business, incredible!

Idlers always can't see others better than themselves, and their favorite thing to do is to make those who are better than them the same, or even worse than them, to be satisfied!

Probably because they have nothing, there is only a poor mouth on their bodies that can be taken out to summon!

Zhang Tu found a place to sit at the root of the wall at the mouth of the alley, and this time he sat all morning, but he didn't see Pang Defu.

At that time, Zhang Tu's heart hung up, and he remembered that he was tied to his hands and feet by the group of yellow-skinned people with grass and vines last night.

In the afternoon, Pang Defu still did not come.

Zhang Tu pulled an idler who had lost all his money and was watching others play cards, and asked where Pang Defu's family lived, and the price was to "lend" ten yuan to the idler.

It sounds good to borrow, but Zhang Tu knows that people who play money will only lose money, and there is no such thing as repaying money!

After asking clearly, Zhang Tu looked for the place where the idle man said.

In the courtyard of Pang Defu's family, there was only a yellow-faced woman with a sad expression and bruises on her arms.

Zhang Tu's heart was cold at that time, he really couldn't open his mouth to say the scene he saw last night, and others would only say that he was crazy.

When leaving, Zhang Tu thought that this woman might not have a man from now on, and his heart was somewhat unpleasant, so he stuffed the money on his body into the hands of the yellow-faced woman, saying that it was Pang Defu's money for selling dogs, and then left Pang Defu's house in the sound of the yellow-faced woman sobbing and choking.

Since then, Pang Defu has not been seen in the town again, as if he has disappeared for no reason.

Those idlers who play money will occasionally wonder twice, why is this old Pang who loses more and wins less gone.

Every time he heard such words, Zhang Tu's whole heart would begin to sink, and that unexplained sense of fear made his scalp tingle.

It was at that time that Zhang Tu was already very sure that Pang Defu must have been retaliated against by that group of yellow skins!

At first, Zhang Tu thought that with the disappearance of Pang Defu, nothing should happen.

After all, the yellow skin was sold to himself by Pang Defu as a dog, and when he sold it to himself, he was already dead, and he was also a victim, so this account can't be counted on his head!

But just about a week later, Zhang Tu remembered that the sky was not very good that night, it was not hot, but it was very stuffy, and there was no wind at all.

The woman in the family took the child to her mother's house to visit relatives, Zhang Tu was idle and not sleepy, so she moved a rattan chair and sat at the gate to read most of the books in the dim light of the 40-watt light bulb, reading Jin Yong's "Chivalrous Journey".

He couldn't see through the truth in the book, but he just found the story in it fascinating.

Because he has to manage the accounts in the shop, Zhang Tu has been literate since he was a child, but if he reads such a book, it is more or less inevitable that he will have some difficulty, and he can only read slowly sentence by line, so the speed will inevitably be slower.

I forgot how long I had seen it, and when Zhang Tu was more and more obsessed, a giggling sound came from his ears, and he urged impatiently: "Oops, oops, you hurry up, turn over quickly, you're in a hurry, you're in a hurry......"

Zhang Tu subconsciously scolded himself for his slow reading behavior, and after answering, his brain exploded, and he jumped up from the rattan chair, but there was no one in the courtyard.

Zhang Tu's back was swishing cold, and when he shivered and carried the rattan chair back, he caught a glimpse of a long tail flashing from the wall out of the corner of his eye......

From that day on, Zhang Tu's home was always restless at night. Even in the middle of the night, the house knows that Suosuo's movement can wake people up.

At this time, my mother-in-law will complain that there is another rat at home.

Zhang Tu's expression would be extremely uncomfortable, and his heart would be extremely uneasy. He couldn't help but think about the fishy, shameful, and stinky pot of meat he buried.

It was a pot of yellow-skinned pork......

。。。。。。。。。

The remnant sun blows in the cool autumn breeze, and the dry branches and leaves will fall like rain.

Zhang Tu gradually came back to his senses from his thoughts, twisted his neck and reached out to touch the dead leaves that fell on his neck.

Turning his head, he happened to see a small figure under a tree not far from the roadside, looking at him coldly.

After the shock, Zhang Tu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Under the tree, there was a little girl, with shredded hair, and a cat in her arms, a cat with a black body......
