After that, my senior brother Feng asked him: "Do you know a waste picker surnamed Zhou, who usually works in the eastern suburbs for a generation. ”

Dong Dabao thought for a while before saying: "I know all the people who pick up garbage here in the eastern suburbs, but I haven't heard of someone surnamed Zhou?" ”

"You are recalling carefully," Senior Brother Feng said as he gestured with his hand, "He is about 1.7 meters tall, his body is very thin, and he has a mole on the back of his neck. ”

Hearing what Senior Brother Feng said, Dong Dabao immediately patted his head: "Oh, you're talking about dogs, I know him, he used to be a fellow villager with me." What's the matter, the dog is in trouble? ”

Senior Brother Feng paused, stared into Dong Dabao's eyes and said, "He's dead." ”

Dong Dabao's eyes immediately widened, and the expression on his face became extremely surprised: "Dead? I was fine when I saw him two days ago, but how did he die? ”

Senior Brother Feng paused again, and only after a moment did he say, "He killed him." When was the last time you saw him? ”

"Yo, I can't remember exactly," Dong Dabao said, "Anyway, it's going to be a few days." Comrade policeman, in fact, I don't know the dog well, I usually see him, it's when he collects waste, and I definitely didn't kill him. ”

Senior Brother Feng frowned: "I didn't say that you killed someone." What do you have in your pockets? ”

Dong Dabao grinned, took out a paper bag from his jacket pocket, and when he opened it, he saw that the bread inside was full of small black particles.

I heard Dong Dabao say that he has bad blood vessels, and this kind of granules are made by mixing red beans and brown sugar ejiao, which is a home remedy taught to him by the old doctor in the village.

Senior Brother Feng pinched two particles from the paper bag, put them on his nose and sniffed them, put them in his pocket again, and said to Dong Dabao when he was done: "Dogan is your countryman?" Where does he live? ”

Dong Dabao said: "Yo, I can't figure out about this matter." He had an old house in the village, but he didn't go back often. ”

Senior Brother Feng asked Dong Dabao to take us to the old house of Goudan, but Dong Dabao was a little hesitant, saying that there was no firewood or rice at home, so we had to sell the waste products in the car first in exchange for food money.

Senior Brother Feng immediately gave him two hundred yuan, and Dong Dabao was happy, and followed us into the car with a smile all the way.

After we got off the car before, the second master had been staying in the car, and when Dong Dabao got in the car, he saw the second master at a glance, and the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became very nervous.

He wasn't nervous when he was interrogated by Senior Brother Feng just now, but when he saw the face of the second master, he couldn't calm down.

From Senior Brother Feng starting the car to the car entering the village entrance of Dong Dabao's hometown, along the way, Dong Dabao didn't dare to say a word of nonsense except for occasionally pointing out the way for Senior Brother Feng.

In front of the old house is the farmland in the village, and where the house faces the sun, there is a forest planted to block the sunlight that should be shining in the house.

After getting out of the car, Dong Dabao was in a hurry to leave, and Senior Brother Feng didn't stop him, but when Dong Dabao walked farther, Senior Brother Feng quietly followed.

Dong Dabao was frightened by the second master, and he was still walking in a muddy manner, his steps were not very steady, and he didn't notice that Senior Brother Feng was following him.

The second master saw my Senior Brother Feng's figure disappear at the corner of the village road, and then he ripped off the lock of the old house and pushed the door in.

I followed the second master into the house, and as soon as I crossed the threshold, I smelled a strong musty smell.

This place has not seen light all year round, and the humidity is very heavy, so the second master leaned in front of a wooden bed in the corner of the house, lifted the quilt on it, and the quilt was very damp, which was the main source of the musty smell in the house.

In this room, in addition to this bed, there is an old wooden cabinet.

The second master ran to the cabinet again, stretched out his hand to open the cabinet door, because of the long-term dampness, the cabinet door made of wood was already very fragile, and the second master did not have the strength, the cabinet door was directly ripped off by him.

The second master frowned, put the broken door panel on the ground, and rummaged through the cabinet again.

I asked the second master what he was looking for, and the second master replied to me without a clue: "Old object." ”

What does old object mean? I was curious, but I didn't ask too much, I don't think the second master seems to want to talk now.

At this time, Senior Brother Feng came back, and after he entered the door, he reported to the second master: "I followed Dong Dabao to the location of his house, and I have already contacted the local police station and asked them to squat and stare at Dong Dabao." ”

The second master gave a brief "um" and continued to rummage through the cabinet.

I saw that the things in the cabinet were very miscellaneous, most of them were old clothes and shoes, whether it was clothes or shoes, they were torn, and there were heavy mold spots on them. At the same time, I don't think that any clues can be found in such a cabinet, after all, a discerning person will know at a glance that this place has been uninhabited for a long time, and it is possible that in the last few months, the dog has not returned.

After all, I couldn't resist my curiosity and asked Senior Brother Feng, "What is the second master doing?" ”

Senior Brother Feng looked at the second master for a while, and then said to me: "I probably found an 'old object', this is the sensitivity that the family is born with, they can always find some inexplicable things in some inexplicable places. ”

I asked Senior Brother Feng again, "What do old objects refer to?" ”

This time, Senior Brother Feng shook his head: "This is a unique name for the family, and I don't know what it means, but every time they find an 'old object', it is something very special." ”

After a few more minutes, the second master finally stood up, and saw that there was a boxy wooden box in his hand, which was an ordinary box, and because of the dampness, the jaw surface had sunken. But it was an ordinary box, and I didn't see anything special.

The second master put his nose on the box and sniffed it, and said to himself: "Twenty-five years ago, the miasma is very heavy. ”

After speaking, he strode out of the door, we followed him out of the house, and then I saw the second master looking for it in the open space outside the house, I don't know what he was looking for, watching him keep looking around, my heart was full of doubts and curiosity.

Later, the second master ran to a farmland like a gust of wind and carefully opened the box.

Senior Brother Feng whispered to me, "The place where the second master is located, in terms of feng shui, should be the place where the yang energy is the heaviest in the entire village. ”

At this time, I saw the second master take out a piece of moldy paper from the wooden box, and there was something written on the paper with a brush, but the perennial dampness caused all the ink on it to scatter, and I couldn't make out the handwriting on it at all, I could only see huge ink spots.

In addition, there are traces of insects gnawing on the pieces of paper, and the handwriting on the face is somewhat mutilated.

But the second master said to us: "The text above was written by his uncle when Zhou was born, and it is his date of birth." He was born in 77 and his natal life is golden. ”

I looked at the piece of paper closely, and there was nothing but a puddle of blurred ink and bug-eaten holes. How did the second master recognize this information?

What makes me feel even more outrageous is how he knew that the words on the piece of paper were written by the dog's uncle.

What I was entangled in my heart, Senior Brother Feng didn't seem to take it to heart, he just asked Second Master: "He still has family?" Where is his family now? ”

The second master shook his head: "There is not so much information on this piece of paper, I can only feel that there is a dead breath on these words, and his uncle should have passed away now." Youyi, it just so happens that the secret door has arrived here, so it is better to visit the old people in the village, they probably know some things from twenty-five years ago. In addition, the natal value of the deceased is gold, which seems to be a very important clue. ”

I don't know how the second master deduced the five elements of the dog's life, but I can see that he is very sure of his speech, as if he can find out the whereabouts of Li Hu and Mao Qi by following the eight characters and five elements of the dog's ball.

In the afternoon of the same day, Senior Brother Feng took us to visit several elderly people in the village.

According to them, the dog seems to have been born twenty-five years ago, and no one knows who his father is.

We also found the stable woman who helped the dog deliver the baby, it was an old lady with small feet in her eighties, even if she was old, but he remembered the past very clearly, and he spoke very well.

I heard her say that after the dog was left, the people in the village gave her the name of "broken shoes", the women in the village looked down on her, and the men in the village cared about her face and her body, and harassed her every day.

But bumpy and bumpy, at that time, the dog and his mother were not worried about eating and drinking, because people often sent food to their homes, but Wen Po didn't know who the person who sent food to their family was.

Until Goudan was seven years old, Godan's mother committed suicide by jumping into a well because she couldn't stand the rumors in the village. On the same day, there was a person in the village who died, it seems that his name is Li Guohua or Liu Guohua, he is an outsider, he has not had much contact with the people in the village, and Wen Po can't remember his name.

Wen Po also said that at that time, there was a barefoot gentleman in the village, saying that he was looking for relatives, and the villagers saw him as pitiful and let him live in the village.

Wen Po said: "That's a good person, learned, good-looking, when the dog was born, there was no one around who could write, I thought of him, and asked him to write down a character for the dog." ”

Senior Brother Feng asked her, "Has this person finally found his relatives?" ”

Wen Po sighed and said: "It was only after Guohua died that he knew that Guohua was his own brother, and then he left and never came back, until now, the people in the village don't know what his name is." ”

I remember that the second master also said that the person who wrote the date of birth of the dog on the piece of paper is the uncle of the dog, if the barefoot gentleman is the uncle of the dog, doesn't it mean that the person named Guohua is the dogan...... Daddy?

Senior Brother Feng asked Wen Po how Guohua died, and Wen Po said that she wiped her neck with the blade of the cauldium and committed suicide.

Godan's biological parents committed suicide at about the same time, and I always felt that something was not quite right.

After Senior Brother Feng said goodbye to Mrs. Wen, he didn't visit anyone else, and took us back to the old house directly.
