Chapter Twenty-Five: Picking Up a Dog
In rural areas, there is a tradition of marrying young people, and some old people believe that if young boys and girls die unmarried, their ghosts will cause trouble and unrest their homes.
There are also some elderly people who miss their children out of love, thinking that they did not choose a mate for them to marry before they died, and they must marry them after death, fulfilling their parental responsibilities.
There is also a possibility that some yin and yang gentlemen try their best to encourage yin marriage in order to make more money.
Song Linger said that Wang Xinxin belongs to the third type.
In order to treat her father's illness, Wang Xinxin and her mother borrowed everything they could, but in these years, it is too difficult to borrow money, and the money in hand is just enough for the surgery fee, what should I do for follow-up treatment?
Xu Laofu gave Wang Xinxin an idea, that is, to marry Yin, 40,000 yuan at a time.
Wang Xinxin agreed after a little consideration, but never returned.
"Xu Laofu is Mr. Yin and Yang in the third sister's village, red things and white things, and the media pulls fiber, there is nothing he doesn't do."
Song Ling'er frowned as she spoke, "The Huang family said that the third sister left at four o'clock the next morning, and there were witnesses, and many people in the village saw it." ”
"The police also reported, but it's useless, there is no monitoring in the countryside, there is no way to find it, now there is no one alive, no corpse is dead, Xu Laofu also let go, saying that he is only responsible for contact, he is a middleman, and it has nothing to do with him if the person is gone."
Song Ling'er said in the end, with a hint of crying: "Brother, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way, I wouldn't be looking for you!" ”
"What are you crying about, my brother didn't say he wouldn't help!"
The fat man took out two tissues, handed them to Song Ling'er, and said to me again: "Brother, this time, it's not easy to do!" ”
"Hmm!"
I nodded, my fingers tapping on the counter.
Wang Xinxin's disappearance is nothing more than a few possibilities, one is that he was abducted and sold, the second is that he was killed, and the third is related to this yin marriage.
As for which one, it is not known for the time being.
Either way, you have to go to the scene to see it.
"Husband, my sister must help, I'll go with you this time!" Chen Xi suddenly spoke.
"Meow!"
Xiao Hei also shouted, indicating that he was going too.
I glanced at them suspiciously, and I had a hint of realization in my heart, this time, I'm afraid it is not simple.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, and thank you, Xiao Hei!" Song Ling'er wiped a handful of tears, much more relaxed.
"Don't see outside, if you have something in the future, just say it, if your brother doesn't do it, my sister-in-law will do it for you!"
Chen Xi's ability to climb along the pole is very strong, dragging Song Linger's arm, talking and laughing, and coaxing Song Linger with a few words.
Wang Xinxin is from this city, his mother is currently accompanying his father in the hospital, and his father does not know about the disappearance, the only good news is that the 40,000 yuan has arrived.
Sanmatun is Wang Xinxin's hometown, and it takes about four hours to drive, and we didn't delay, just drive.
On the way, I have some understanding of this incident.
Wang Xinxin sold herself to get married, Song Linger knew in advance, she persuaded her, it was useless, she was afraid that something would happen, she gave Wang Xinxin the peach wood sword that the fat man gave her.
The family that Wang Xinxin married is also rural, not far from Sanmatun, about ten miles away.
The family's surname is Huang, the family is a grain collector, very rich, the Huang family's son was in a car accident, it is said that he drank too much and rode a motorcycle and crashed into a tree.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, when it was dark, we arrived at Sammatun.
My first impression of Sanmatun was that it was poor, there were forty or fifty families in the tunzi, and there were no good houses in sight, and I even saw two straw houses.
Xu Laofu's house is relatively good, with red brick courtyard walls and black iron gates.
"Anyone?"
The fat man knocked on the door twice, but no one came out.
"The door is on, it's not locked!"
I took a look, pulled the latch, and with a slight push, the door opened.
Walking inside, the yard of the Xu family was very clean, with red brick paving, a few fruit trees planted, and a dog kennel near the lower room.
When I saw the kennel, I paused, crouched down and looked inside.
There was a dog in the kennel, it shrank in the innermost part, buried its head in its paws, and when it saw me, it was a little frightened, and its eyes dodged for a moment.
This dog is useless.
Dogs raised in rural areas are guarded by the home, and when someone enters the hospital, they don't bark, but hides, which is frightened.
Before I could stand up, the door suddenly opened, and out came a bald middle-aged man about forty years old, who looked at us gloomily and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Xu Laofu, right?"
I stood up and looked at him, bald, with a big nose and a scar at the corner of his left eye, which should be Xu Laofu.
"I'm not looking at things today, let's go!" Xu Laofu replied coldly.
"Whew!"
In the kennel, there was a gurgling sound, and the dog shrank back again, and let out a wail from his throat.
This dog is afraid of Xu Laofu.
"We don't look at things, Wang Xinxin, do you know?"
The fat man crossed his eyes and forced him forward with a tiger face.
"Her disappearance has nothing to do with me!"
Xu Laofu threw down a sentence and wanted to close the door, but the fat man caught up with him, grabbed the doorknob, and pulled it outward.
With a bang, the fat man didn't pull it, and his whole body slammed into it and slammed it on the door.
"it!"
The fat man was on fire, grabbing the doorknob and pulling it violently.
The door was plugged in from the inside, and the fat man didn't pull it open for a while, spat and gave up.
"Let's go!"
I shook my head and said.
Sanmatun is Xu Laofu's home field, and none of us know each other, so it is not good for us to continue to make trouble like this.
There is a lot of time, there are many ways to deal with Xu Laofu, I am not in a hurry, and I found that there is something wrong with this Xu Laofu.
Coming out of Mr. Xu's house, I had an unexpected discovery that Mr. Xu's dog came out.
We drove to Wang Xinxin's house, it followed the car, and when we got out of the car, it stopped again, keeping a distance of about 20 meters from us.
"Come here!"
I beckoned to it, and it came running around me in a circle like a happy one, very cheerful.
"Husband, this dog has taken a fancy to you, and he wants to follow you!" Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Wow!"
Probably understood Chen Xi's words, it bit its tail and barked twice.
"You have a master, what if he finds it?" I stretched out my hand and pointed in the direction of Mr. Xu's house.
"Whew!"
It glanced back, let out a wail in its throat, and leaned over again, wagging its tail at me, tears welling up in its eyes.
"Oops, it's up to me!"
I rubbed its skull, looked at it for a while, and said, "Okay, follow me first!" ”
"Wow!"
With permission, it circled around me with joy.
The world of dogs is very simple, the owner is everything to it, and it almost never happens that a dog abandons its owner, unless its owner dies.
Something must have happened to Xu Laofu's body!
Song Ling'er didn't understand this, teased the dog twice, and asked, "Brother, are we still going to Huang's house today?" ”
"Go!" I nodded.
It's still early, the Huang family must go, if the time comes, I still want to see the Huang family's grave.
But it's not in a hurry, drive for an afternoon, rest for a while, fill your stomach, and the place to live has to be done.
There is no hotel in Tunzi, so we will stay at Wang Xinxin's house tonight.
Wang Xinxin's house is a red brick house, which is good in the tunzi, and the door and door are locked, which is difficult for the fat man.
The fat man is a good hand at unlocking, not to mention that Wang Xinxin's is still an old-fashioned black iron lock, a wire is inserted into the keyhole and poked a few times, and the lock is opened.
After cooking a few bowls of noodles and eating two bites, a few of us took the dog to Huang's house.
Actually, I didn't plan to take the dog with me at first, but it didn't do it, knowing that we didn't take it, it went around in circles around the yard, with tears in its eyes, and it looked like it was going to die.
Its performance made me sure that something must have happened to Xu Laofeng, and this dog was really scared.
The village where the Huang family is located is called Erjing Village, which is twice as large as Sanmatun, and because of the better geographical location, there are many rich people in the village.
The Huang family built a grain collection station near the highway, and the family usually lives in the grain station, and Wang Xinxin got married here.
It is said that on the day of the wedding, many people came, and the Huang family set up more than ten tables of flowing water seats at the grain station.
When we arrived, the grain station was lit up, illuminating the yard, but quietly, through the big iron gate, we could see a Tibetan mastiff locked in the iron cage, it lay motionless in it, there was no reaction to our arrival, I don't know if it was dead, or what.
