"I'll lead the comrades to the big pond." Lao Zhangtou didn't want Rong Gaotang to know what he was doing, so he also wanted to leave early: "Gao Tang, you are busy!" ”

"Hey, walk slowly." Rong Gaotang said while walking towards a small bamboo forest, on the other side of the road, there is a row of people, the first courtyard gate is the courtyard gate of Rong Gaotang's house.

Lao Zhangtou watched Rong Gaotang enter the courtyard gate, and he looked very cautious.

There is a boat parked on the south side of Rong Gaotang's wharf. The boat kept rocking on the water, and the water kept lapping against the side of the boat.

"This is Old Chen's boat." The old man pointed to the boat road.

There are a few old willow trees on the shore, and there is also a pier to the south of the fishing boats.

"Uncle Zhang, where does the Daoist family live?" Liu Dayu said.

"Look at the tall trees on the south side."

Looking in the direction of the old man's finger, in the darkness, not far away, there were indeed a few abrupt trees.

"That's the tree of the Da family, this is the wharf of the Da family, in the past, there was a big trestle bridge here, and the boat of the Da family stopped here." Old Chen pointed to the dock road next to the willow tree.

Lao Chen's family lived in the easternmost part of the row in front of the Rongguang Sect's house. Walk to the big banyan tree and the well, turn right and go south, past a row of houses, and then all the way east.

The wall of Lao Chentou's house is a fence wall, and the door is also a fence gate. An iron hook was attached to a thicker doorpost.

The lights in Old Chen's house were still on, and the door to the hall was open.

"This is Old Chen's house, I'm waiting for you not far away." After Lao Zhangtou finished speaking, he walked straight towards a forest. Lao Zhangtou is a very cautious person, and he doesn't want to be bumped into by the villagers.

There was a strong smell of fishy fish in the air, as well as the smell of salted dried fish.

Chen Jie shook the fence door three times: "May I ask if this is Uncle Chen's home?" ”

After a while, a woman came out of the hall: "Who? ”

The woman's voice is older, because the light is darker, and the age is not visible.

"Excuse me, is Uncle Chen at home?"

"Who are you?" The woman walked up to the fence gate and took a closer look at the group.

Everyone finally saw clearly, the woman had a lot of gray hair on her sideburns.

As soon as everyone sat down, the eldest lady brought the tea into the hall.

After the old man put the teacup, he left the hall and closed the door.

Liu Dayu got straight to the point: "Uncle Chen, we came to visit late at night to ask you some questions. ”

"Ask!"

"Yesterday morning, when did you go to Gujia Datang?"

"It's about half past six -- that's what I do every morning."

"Auntie, we are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

"Who?" Another man came out of the hall.

This person is none other than Lao Chentou.

"Uncle Chen, it's us!"

"Old woman, open the door—open the door."

There are some wooden shelves in the courtyard, and some large nets and wire nets are hung on the shelves.

In the center of the hall was a brazier, and two teenage girls were threading together small hairy fish, which seemed to have been freshly pickled, and the air smelled distinctly salty in addition to the fishy smell.

The two little girls walked into the kitchen with wooden basins and bamboo baskets, and dressed fish.

The two little girls are the grandchildren of Lao Chentou.

Lao Chen asked everyone to sit down around the brazier, and at the same time, his wife added a layer of charcoal to the brazier, and as soon as the charcoal was put into the brazier, the fire started.
