On September 5, 2015, Cao Andong was contacted. Telephone Recording 3.

"Hello, Mr. Cao. Excuse me. ”

"Ah, hello, hello. …… You guys...... Did you find out anything? ”

"Not yet. I would like to ask if you know that there is a custom in your hometown that when someone dies, they hang wind chimes in front of the house......"

"That's right! It's to hang wind chimes! When my grandparents died, when my grandparents died, it was the same way, that is, the wind chimes were hung, and the whole village had to hang them. After dark, the family carried people out to bury them, and everyone else had to close the door, not to come out, not even to light candles. Wait until you get out of the village to ......"

"What is talent, Mr. Cao?"

"Talent, open the door, take down the wind chimes ......"

"Mr. Cao?"

"That dog ......"

"Is that the dead dog you saw?"

"No...... They didn't hang wind chimes......"

"Huh? Mr. Cao, do you mean that if an animal dies in the family, it must be the same as if someone died? ”

"No, not all animals, the kind of chickens and ducks that are raised are not counted, but the kind that is raised as a pet is not the kind that is raised and sold, and the kind that is raised, eaten, and ...... When I was a child, my grandfather had a bird that was bitten to death by my dog, and he hung up the wind chimes and notified the others. In the evening, our family buried the birds together. That dog is certainly not a meat dog! There are no meat dogs in the village, they are all pigs or something...... They didn't hang wind chimes...... Also burned ......"

"You didn't have wind chimes and made them into a dish, is that something you say in your hometown?"

"If you don't send a funeral, the dead won't be gone...... won't be gone...... It's, it's definitely the dog, it's the dog! That's how they hurt me! ”

"We don't see ghosts in you."

"Huh?"

"Your hometown seems to be peaceful and quiet at the moment, and it's not the kind of place where evil things are going wrong."

"I ...... Then I'll ...... I don't know...... Isn't that really it? I think that's why ......."

"Have you ever asked your parents? Something about your home and hometown being disconnected. ”

"I asked, nothing special, just busy, and I didn't care, so I broke off. I...... I still think it's because of the dog......"

"Then we'll pay attention to that. Do you remember who the owner of that dog was? ”

"I don't know, I don't know. I'm sure I'll recognize it when we meet, I still remember that face, but I don't know who it is. ”

"Okay. Excuse me, Mr. Cao. ”

"Hey, no, no...... You guys, how long will it take for you to find out about this? ”

"We don't know for sure yet. People in your hometown won't be very cooperative with our investigation. ”

"Hmm."

On September 6, 2015, I went to the ancestral village again. Zheng Hong, secretary of the village party committee, was contacted. Audio files.

"Hello, Secretary Zheng."

"Hello. Ahem, ahem. Well, you guys are ......"

"This is our work card."

"Oh...... This newspaper is a local newspaper, right? ”

"Yes, we in Minqing City are also working on land acquisition for farmland on the outskirts of the city, so the newspaper sent us to do a special report. We have selected some of the more typical agricultural towns, and in addition to you, we have other reporters who are covering other villages and towns. After that, according to the situation, our satellite TV station will also select some typical ones for detailed reporting. This should also be ...... with our country's current reform policy."

"Yes, yes, yes, it is to respond to the call of the country, and we think so too."

"But as far as we saw yesterday, there are already some small factories here, but they are all out of production, and the people in the village seem to be in some mood. Has something special happened recently? ”

"The main reason for this is that people still don't understand the importance and advantages of this kind of transformation of the living environment. Our village committee has been doing propaganda and introduction work for everyone, and it has achieved certain results. Of course, our work needs to be continued......"

"Secretary Zheng, this kind of official tone can actually be omitted. To be honest, in terms of land acquisition and transformation, the ancestral village cannot be regarded as a typical case, and the answer sheet handed over by your side is not excellent, let alone perfect. ”

“……”

"We're curious, is there anything interesting happening in your village?"

"What do you mean?"

"We additionally contribute to this company. You can think of it as a part-time job, or making extra money. They are content companies of online self-media, that is, some news you see on the Internet, as well as some revelations and insider stories seen on social networking sites, forums and other places, all of which are sorted out by their company and selectively released little by little. Some social hotspots also started to stir up heat from their side. You should be using the Internet, right? ”

"Well, I understand that. You're a little scary, huh...... I remember that two years ago, there was still an official who was found wearing a famous watch, right? What else is there......"

"Yes, it's something like that. There are a lot of coincidences in this world, but some things are not coincidences. ”

“……”

"Secretary Zheng, you don't have to worry, we are not interested in the news of the village government. To be honest, you guys don't have much news. We've heard that the ancestral village is a place with a lot of history, but the ancestral hall of the ancient family hasn't been preserved, right? ”

"This, we also think it's a pity, but this is a historical issue, at that time, you reporters were very questioning, you should know about the war, right? The ancestral hall is gone. We are really helpless about this, and we have also thought about rebuilding......"

"Plus, it's some traditions in the village."

"Huh?"

"According to what we have heard, if someone dies in this village, every household will hang wind chimes at the door to guide the deceased to leave. Is that so? ”

“……”

"Secretary Zheng? Is there anything wrong with this? ”

"Well, have you checked some background information?"

"What do you mean?"

"I've been here for not many years, I'm not a local. I didn't know any of that at first. But once an old man in the village died, and his family told me about it. On the first day I moved here, someone gave me their wind chimes and told me about them. The first time I talked about it, I didn't feel at ease, and the second time, I thought it was a little strange. It's their rule, the funeral at night, before the funeral procession leaves the village, no one else can open the door and turn on the lights, and as soon as people leave the village, they have to take off the wind chimes. There must be a signal or something, like a funeral procession shouting or something, right? The people here speak some dialects, but they don't speak much. I thought that this traditional thing might be used, so I asked very carefully. ”

"Hmm. And then what? ”

"They...... The man told me very strangely that the wind chimes should stop. When the chimes stop, you can open the door and take them off. Isn't that weird? It's not windy, huh? And I hung up the wind chime, hung it up, there was no wind, and the wind chime moved. Just one family and one family, there is no wind. This one is a little scary. I really wanted to go, I still have a house in town, and my original home was over there. But they said no, they had already hung up, and they could only leave after the funeral at night after collecting the wind chimes. I had to wait until the evening. ”

"What happened at night?"
