"Not bad." While worrying about his father, Mo Fei answered: "I have also dealt with this old man Sun, and not many people know what he does. It is said that every morning at five o'clock, Old Man Sun would set off with a metal detector, an iron pickaxe, and a few bags. He is now an elf, and he finds large demolition sites everywhere, and uses a detector to detect scrap iron buried in the ground, which is his salary. ”

Mo Fei sighed: "This old man is also quite godly, he can easily judge the appearance of underground scrap iron based on the frequency of the sound made by the detector. ”

I tapped the back of my hand with my hand: "Then where are we going now?" ”

"Go to Old Man Sun's house. I don't know why I woke up with amnesia. Since Old Man Sun saved me, he must know where I fainted. Ask for the location, and fortunately, look for clues about the disappearance of Xiao Zhang and Officer Mo in the place where I fainted. The plainclothes police replied.

I didn't say anything more. Silence returned to the car.

The riverside mentioned by the plainclothes police is the most famous river in River City. It is about 50 meters wide, and the current in the river is so fast that even if someone who is familiar with the nature of the water falls, he does not dare to say that he will be able to climb up alive. It is said that River City was once built along the river, but with the renovation of the city, most people have moved to the new city, and only the old, weak, sick and low-income groups are left in the old town.

The street lights are also turned on and off for a while because of the lack of residents. Old man Sun's home is indeed easy to find, it is on the river embankment. A large circle was enclosed with a bamboo fence, in which many seasonal vegetables were seeded.

The moon had already climbed to the sky, and the three of us walked down the river embankment, and just happened to see Old Man Sun in the yard scooping water with a homemade pot to irrigate vegetables. His home was a simple shack with an incandescent lamp with a low wattage in the center. At the bottom of the wide river, only the incandescent lamp barely illuminates the surroundings.

The sound of the river flowing is so loud that it rushes into your ears and makes you feel smaller and smaller.

"Old Sun." The plainclothes policeman greeted him and explained his intentions.

Old man Sun doesn't look like he's in his forties, he looks very old and a little hunchbacked. He nodded, glanced at Mo Fei in the dim light, and was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground.

Murphy and I saw his strange expression, and our hearts sank. Mo Fei hurriedly asked: "Old Sun, you know me, I am Mo Fei." Last time, I came to you for a relic. You, see how I have a hellish look. ”

"I, I saw someone who looked like you yesterday." Old man Sun stammered in reply.

"Looks like me?" Mo Fei touched his face: "That's my dad, where did you meet him?" ”

"I, I, I ......" Old Man Sun sighed, lowered his head, and did not speak.

Mo Fei suddenly became even more anxious, and grabbed his arm: "Say it quickly!" ”

Old man Sun retracted his hand in pain. Only then did Mo Fei feel that his behavior was excessive, and apologized repeatedly.

Old man Sun talked a few more times, with a look of pity: "Officer Mo, you are a good person." Your dad is a good guy too, and he has a good reputation on our side, but unfortunately I've never met him. ”

Next, the old man said something that almost made Mo Fei faint in pain: "Officer Mo, if what I saw yesterday was your father." Well, he's, dead! ”

"In this world, there has always been an early bird that eats worms. My grandson has lived a hard life, but he is also happy. Every day around 5 o'clock, I have to get up to look for food, because I go late, the construction site will be closed, and I can't enter. Old man Sun followed him into the car and took the three of us to the place where Mo Fei's father was found.

Along the way, while sighing about life, he talked about the experience of seeing Murphy's father the most.

"At 6 o'clock yesterday morning, there were not many pedestrians on the road, so I rode a small motorcycle and drove east along Hangdong Road. At a demolition site on the ring road, stopped. This is the spot I stepped on the other day to see if I can dig something. I took out the metal detector, skillfully assembled and debugged it, then grabbed my pickaxe and ran to the construction site.

Due to the long time it takes to do this line, bend over once every two minutes and dig back into the soil every three minutes, and the waist is seriously damaged. Today's luck is not smooth, in half an hour, but only less than ten catties of scrap iron were dug out, depressed shaking his head, heart said, not here, to change places. However, after changing three construction sites in a row, only 100 catties of scrap iron were dug up. This kind of harvest is simply terrible. ”

Old man Sun chattered alone and glanced out the car window. Everyone listened carefully and did not speak.

"It's really hard in our business. For life, I also have my own desires for life. Don't look at me like this, more than 20 years ago, when my girlfriend and I were working in Shenzhen, we gave birth to a son. I also have a son. Due to the proximity to Hong Kong, his girlfriend had relatives in Hong Kong, so they went to Hong Kong together.

"When I went to Hong Kong, my family called me and said that my father had hemiplegia, so I rushed back. What I didn't expect was that this difference was more than 20 years. Since my parents in my hometown were seriously ill due to old age, I never returned to Hong Kong. ”

"Later, my girlfriend gave me a phone number, but I put the phone number in the book, and then I couldn't find it. My girlfriend and son and I were separated like that.

But a few years ago, I received a phone call from my son in Hong Kong, who told me that he was getting married, but the woman wanted to have a house of her own. I sold the house, put all the money into my son's account, and happily prepared to go to my son's wedding. But when I called back that number, it was already empty. ”

"Old man, I had to start from scratch, forget it, it's nothing to worry about. Now I just want to save some money, find a wife, and live a good life. ”

Seeing that his emotion was getting farther and farther, Mo Fei finally couldn't help it, and his emotions of wanting to know what was going on with his father prevailed, so he glared at Old Man Sun.

"Okay, I'll continue to talk about how I found Officer Mo." Old man Sun scratched his dirty head and continued: "In our business, most of them rely on luck, when it is good, we can dig thousands of catties, hire a car to pull away the scrap iron, and then give the janitor 100 yuan, and at the end of the day, I can earn 7 or 800 yuan." When it's not good, you can get 100 pounds a day. ”

Old man Sun said: "More than ten years ago, there were many factories demolished, and the management was not so strict, that was the time to make the most money, it was very easy, and it could net tens of thousands of yuan per month."

Nowadays, due to factors such as the reduction of factories and strict site management, it is not as easy to make money as it used to be. After all, I can still have a good income every month, and I take care of myself, which is not bad.
