I got on the bus from Capital City to Longtan Township, Heilong County, on time, thinking that I would arrive in an hour and a half. The carriage is very empty, and it seems that there are very few people going to Longtan, probably related to the recent hazy weather. I randomly chose a place by the window and sat down, and took out the introduction of Longtan Township printed on the Internet at noon.

It's a day and a night.

, why didn't online advertising say that this road is so difficult!

I took a car, crossed the mountains and mountains, and encountered a breakdown in the middle, and finally arrived in Heilong County after a day and a night. I sat on three more jumpers and bumped all the way. I was extremely bored and had to read the introduction over and over again, and then I could tell the past and present life of Longtan Township with my eyes closed. Although I have been in the capital for many years, I have never been to Longtan, and I have only heard a lot of rumors, most of which are about the xenophobia and bad habits of the ancient town of Longtan, so I have never had a good impression of it.

This Longtan Township is located in the west of the capital city 67 kilometers, the earliest is Longtan Village, in the ravine because of the proximity to the Black Longtan Mountain, according to the expert research of the ancient buildings in the village was built in the Song and Yuan dynasties, the strange thing is that the architectural style is dominated by the southern village and township buildings of the small jasper type, but with the frequent wars, the aborigines have long fled. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was just a settlement of more than a dozen broken banner people who fled from the chaos of the army, and they were very poor. It was not until 20 years ago that it was opened up to a certain extent, and some people had traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, only to find that there was such a beautiful scenery and many amazing folk customs in the suburbs of Beijing. Therefore, even if it is relatively closed in the first few years of development, it is still attractive to tourists from inside and outside the province.

The passengers came and went, and I looked up and rubbed my eyes, and found a slethered and short man sitting opposite, dressed in a rustic body, with a thin body and sunken eyes. The temples are white, and it is okay to say that the year is more than half a hundred, and it is okay to be in the year of the sixtieth year. I nodded, I wasn't used to being in contact with strangers now.

"Is it going for a tour or visiting relatives?" The other party talked a few words familiarly.

"No, it's to investigate folklore...... Graduation Internship. "I'm not good at acting too unkind.

The look on the thin man's face became strange. Indeed, I don't think anyone would choose to study the flavored folklore in a commercial place, and anyone who hears it will be surprised.

"Hehe," the thin man laughed dryly, and asked Shinto, "Is it to participate in the folklore of people, or is it from the gods?" "

"What did you say?" I stared at him, not understanding the meaning of the words, and I even felt myself feeling a little emotionally out of control. God?

Sensing my excitement, the thin man got up stupidly, walked to the opposite pair of pale faces and sat down next to them, and could see that they were a family. Probably the nearby mountain people.

The three jumpers stopped at the intersection and didn't go. Looking ahead, dozens of cars were blocked. The cars behind were also jammed there. The driver and passengers were yelling and yelling, a messy mess of porridge. Someone stuck his head out of the window to look around and ask aloud what was wrong. Acquaintances who don't know each other talk to each other, as if they are very excited. I didn't need to listen to it until someone asked, was there a car accident ahead? Dead people don't? Someone replied, it must be a car accident, and it can't be saved if you don't die. Some people complained, what are the police officers at the township police station doing to eat, hurry up and dredge it, and just lift the car away. At this time, the person who ran to the front to see came back and said that it was not a car accident, but a crime, and the police were salvaging the body because the police car was blocking the road......

I couldn't tell why, but I begged the driver to open the door and get out of the car, but before the sun had fully risen, there was a crowd of people in front of a ditch on the side of the road.

The ditch is located next to a telephone pole, surrounded by an iron fence to stop cars, and topped by a net to prevent crows from breaking in, making it a common place for passers-by to rest and fetch water; Of course, these crowds are not here to get water, but because there is something in the ditch that shouldn't be there.

The body of a young girl, the body is said to have been found by a male driver who had overloaded the road before the early hours of the morning and had come here to relieve himself.

I squeezed my way through the crowd to the inner part of the crowd of onlookers, and I couldn't help but take a deep breath not only to see the footage of the police salvaging the body, but also to see the face of the deceased clearly. Thanks to Zujia's blessing, I have also seen this pale face in front of me.

I carefully looked at the face of this childish girl; She is Gao Jinghu, a female high school student whose whereabouts have been unknown since a month ago, although the police dispatched a large number of police forces to search in vain, and then the focus of public opinion turned to the Sizilou incident. In addition to the focus on the security of the Olympics and the media criticizing the police for their incompetence, even family members turned to private investigators in dissatisfaction with the police.

Only Sister Xiao Mo and Yu Zujia posted the victim's photo on the wall. Unexpectedly, it was actually dark under the lights, and the direction of the investigation was wrong from the beginning!

The girl who has been missing for a month has appeared on the outskirts of the city, what has happened to her in this month? Her eyes were wide open, and her expression was in a moment of astonishment. Was she in pain aware that she was about to die? The thought popped into my head.

People have always had a senseless fear of immovable corpses, but I haven't felt that way since then; No matter how unbearable the body was, I was indifferent.

Now I can face the blood, even measured by pure rational thinking. After letting go of the big stone in my heart, loneliness suddenly came up; How much blood does a human have to lose, what part of the body is hit hard, what organs do you need to lose before it can die?

I trust Shi Lingren, but I don't like his callous tone. If human beings are not a combination of electromagnetic waves and trace elements. Rather, it is the soul of all things, and death means that the body and the soul have lost contact. So, what is it that connects the body and the soul? When will the soul be forced out of the body? Is the separation between yin and yang unchangeable?

Even Shi Ling people say that I am a pervert, but I want to ask him: Do you have the skill of slaying dragons and don't want to understand the boundary between life and death?

"Now it's a serial case."

When I looked up, I was greeted by a young policeman next to me.

"What serial case?" A passer-by with a good fortune looked at the policeman and asked.

"That's it, the case that started three months ago." The police said teasingly.

"Oh, you said that the case of strangulation of the murdered female high school student on the Internet and the abandonment of the body in Hechuan." Someone immediately remembered the murder case and sighed: "That case, every one of them is just as tragic." What a ruthless heart! ”

I know more about the fact that the first victim was also a girl who attended a local high school and had lost her whereabouts since she said goodbye to her friends after school. After several days of missing persons, the parents reported the missing person to the police.

The police originally accepted the case as a kidnapping case, but the suspect did not file for ransom for a long time; A few days later, her body was found in a reservoir in Longxugou.

The police determined that the serial killer strangled her before dumping her body in the Miyun Reservoir.

Then there was a second person, a third person, ......, and until the body was found, the suspect also did not offer any ransom. The last time it was strangulation, and then the way of death was strange, this time it was drowning; The cause of death varies, but the location of the crime and the method used to target the high school girl who committed the crime while walking alone are indeed very similar.

"It seems that the whereabouts of the last girl are still unknown."

"Another?"

"Yes, that's been proven. She is a girl who attends the same school as the victim this time, Gao Jinghu, and her name is Fei Changli. Since her disappearance, the suspect has not filed any ransom claims. "

"There is no ransom ......," lamented the idlers.

In this case, I am afraid that this is a serial kidnapping case with the purpose of murder. The world is clear, the world is really declining, and the police are incompetent!

Nasty case -- equally nasty argument!

I stood up and walked out of the murder scene surrounded by blue plastic sheeting. I remembered what I had witnessed, fifty members of the task force stood on the podium, and Yu Zujia recited the results found so far with a sad face.

"The cause of death of the first victim was the same as last reported, suffocation due to compression of the neck. The second victim had no obvious external injuries and fluid in his lungs, and the cause of death was determined to be drowning. "

The silent conference room was full of discussions. ――You may have sensed an ominous aura. The murderer's unscrupulousness and lack of taboos are simply challenging the bottom line of human beings...... But I couldn't catch it.

Neither dragnet search nor psychological testing is useful.

"In addition, we found aquatic weeds and moss in the lungs of one of the murdered girls."

"May I ask if we can conclude that the victim drowned in a certain river?"

One of the task force members asked, raising his hand.

"I'm not sure, but because of the pollution, it's a ...... possibility Not high. "

Yu Zujia paused for a moment, and then began to speak.

"The cause of death has been different for each girl so far, but their bodies all show signs of bruising from the ropes. Apparently in captivity for a while! "

"Is it possible that the murderers in multiple cases are not the same person?" Someone asked again. "It may not be appropriate to say that, but I think it may be a misunderstanding of the police's work, whether there is a possibility of copycats."

"So far, we have not found any blood or hair from the suspected killer." Yu Zujia casually perfunctory past. He gave up the podium to the police chief and sat in a chair at the conference table facing the case officer. I know he doesn't really like to talk in front of people. Especially the many people down there whispered.

"It is said to be a second ancestor!"

"It's amazing to gild turtles!"

"There are people in the DPRK who are good officials! Even the public security system has made a miasma, and sure enough, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked! ”

"Shhhh

"Why? Anyway, it's just a report, is it necessary to bring us to the project meeting to support him? "These people with colored glasses only see Yu Zujia's family background, who cares how much he pays? I sighed slightly.

"Next. What is the current state of the investigation? "

As soon as the director on the podium finished speaking, an old qualified person immediately got up.

"At present, we are conducting a peripheral investigation of the site of the abandoned body, but due to the obstruction of local forces, we have not received useful information so far." He bit his lower lip as he spoke. I really don't see if he was acting out of anger at the killer or remorse for not being able to show it in front of the director.

"The first victim, the second victim, and the rest of the girls whose whereabouts are unknown, most of whom disappeared on the way out of school, we deduce that the killer may have been ambushing around the school, looking for a victim. It's a pity that the school doesn't want us to search for the sake of reputation! "

Even human life can't stop the pursuit of profits, why is this? At that moment, I murmured in my heart.

"In the future, we will collect eyewitness testimonies around the school, and we will also filter out suspects among people with a history of decoralism." After all, not to mention fingerprints now, not even a single hair has been found, so it's no wonder that he wants to rely on eyewitness testimony. But-

"In addition, most of the victim girls also behaved inadequately, so the first 24 hours of reporting were delayed, and we do not rule out the possibility that the victim was involved in related pornography, gambling and drug cases, so we will launch a re-investigation into the victim's daily life."

At first, I was abrupt by the word "pornography, gambling and drugs", which is not in tune with high school students, but in a blink of an eye, I got used to it.

A few years ago, the main ethnic group involved in pornography, gambling and drugs was young people, but in recent years, the age group involved in pornography, gambling and drugs has become younger and lower, and it is said that even high school students have been reduced. Even the customers who bought spring from them were middle-aged men whose daughters were about the same age as them.

Shi Ling people hit the nail on the head and said that they probably didn't get the attention of the opposite sex at home and in society, so they vented their grievances in this distorted way. There are so many wonders in this world.

"How did you explain to the families of the victims? Yesterday, the father of the second victim was interviewed on TV and said that the police did not give him an apology at all! The police chief's remarks caused an uproar in the audience.

I also watched this show. When the father was yelling at the police, the mother lowered her head and whispered "whining" on the side.

The blow caused by the death of one's own flesh and blood is by no means temporary.

This family will live a twisted life with the grief of their daughter being ruthlessly murdered, and their hearts will be endlessly corroded for the rest of their lives.

-- I can't help but think.

The veterans looked at each other, and in any case, if they did not know the motives of the murderer, they could not narrow the scope of the murderer. Fortunately, Yu Zujia is behind the pot!

As an outsider, it's inconvenient for me to say much, but I don't think the direction of the investigation has gone too far?

Nothing can be achieved by tracking down criminals with criminal records or pornography, gambling and drug addicts.

- Because there was no sign of sexual assault on the victim girl.

However, in this way, the motive of the murderer is unknown. It's going to be a long war.

I murmured inwardly as I walked to the other side of the yellow cordon band, where there was a crowd of curious onlookers, inside and out.

Or rather, the Hunting Party!

I thought to myself: this is not a celebration, what is there to see? Since you want to see it so much, then let the police show you a good time, and ensure that those people who are good at Ye Gong are so frightened that they don't dare to say anything.

Inadvertently, I felt a completely different pair of eyes in the crowd watching the excitement.

A tall man in sunglasses sneered alone in the crowd of onlookers.

-- The murderer will definitely return to the scene of the crime.

I suddenly remembered this rule of thumb that Yu Zujia jokingly talked about. And then...... Those eyes are gone!

――Come to "Pretend to be a Gentleman" with the heroine to discover the truth of the world, you can collect votes, share WeChat to earn points-

As soon as I got off the bus, there were many small vendors selling me maps and souvenirs in a local accent, and the retro rickshaws were shouting loudly and asking where I was staying. yes, where do I go? I carried my bag of personal belongings and froze in the slowly darkening sky. On the network advertisements there, the delicate and majestic Black Dragon Pond Mountain is described, as well as the large and small streams and rivers that run through it, the peaks of various postures are full of various forms, and the mysterious and bottomless cave makes people have a look forward to exploring it, the craggy and strange rocks in the cave, forming an endless sea of clouds, fog scenes, bamboo forests, farmhouses and other scenery, scattered all around make people dizzy, the scenery is beautiful, the scenery is intoxicating. But I only feel that the whole Longtan Township is old and simple, showing signs of old and dilapidated everywhere, but it is not as desolate and simple as I imagined.

It's like the decline of the wind that is always blown away by the rain and wind.

"In fact, although Black Dragon Pond Mountain is wild, it is not suitable for single women. But Peach Blossom Island is worth seeing! ”

Seeing my inquiring eyes, he suddenly leaned over and accosted the thin man proudly. "It's a newly developed spot, so not many people know about it, but now it's a great time to visit! Although it is far away and the package is not completed, you can live in a homestay! Cheap and attentive service! At this time, there was a little flattering smile on his withered yellow face, and he was holding a miscellaneous brand of mineral water in his hand, and the blank eyes of the mother and son beside him fell on me, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

Nothing to be courteous, by no means a righteous gentleman! I turned around and left, only to be blocked by another wave of people.

"Big sister, buy a photo, right?

"No thanks." I'm annoyed.

"Go, go, go!" The thin man came over to solve the siege, "Actually, these babies don't have any bad intentions, they all rely on selling photos and other gadgets to save tuition...... The mountain is really good, I've gone anywhere, look at this one, this one...... That's it. "He worked hard to help the mud monkey-like kids.

"Well, it's really beautiful." Calm and stingy to give praise, I was fascinated by the photos picked out by thin men, my eyes kept flowing in the photos, suddenly, but I was attracted by a photo.

"Where was this shot?" I handed the photo in my hand to the thin man and asked.

The photograph is a recent photo, taken as a black stone, which is very inconspicuous. But I look at it like the petrified wood I've seen in the park, and it's not uncommon to find this in this poor mountain and bad water, but what I pay attention to is that the petrified wood is vaguely engraved with some patterns, and the simple lines make it easy to ignore the past without knowing what it is at a glance. And I'm just interested in this piece of petrified wood. Because...... A powerful flow of energy came from the photo, and I was stunned, the shadow marks in the photo have such an intensity frequency, isn't it appalling originally. Then, before I could react, a scene appeared that I had never dreamed of: I actually saw a long snake about ten meters long in the lines of the petrified wood - no, it should be said to be a dragon - a legendary dragon!

It's actually a dragon?

This is a golden dragon, similar to the image in the legend, but unlike the general legend, it does not have a large number of dragon whiskers, only two long tentacles, and the two horns are not exactly like the antlers, its horn branches are arranged in a fan-shaped semicircle, and the back is also light and protruding, and it has six legs. I subconsciously reached out to touch and paused, I deeply knew that the imminent wild cat would bite people, not to mention, the one in front of me was not only a wild cat, but more likely a divine beast.

Although it is only a phantom, but from its body emanating an extremely strong energy field, similar to life energy but not exactly the same, I stared at the "dragon" in a daze, I don't know what phenomenon the naked eye will see, but from the perspective of extra-perceptual perception, the whole dragon is like a huge golden light, and the subtle energy outside and the energy shield friction on the surface of the energy cover to form a colorful halo, very beautiful.

What kind of chance made this dragon leave its shadow on the petrified wood for some reason!

"Oh, this! There's a story to tell. Seeing that I was in a daze and drank the remaining mineral water, the thin man glanced at the photo and said, "Do you want to listen?" The owner is also an interesting person. "It's clearly tempting me, the thin man smiled treacherously, and he had a look of "begging me if you want to listen", which made me itch and want to swallow the guy in front of me into my stomach.

However, when people had to bow their heads under the eaves, I deliberately ignored the smugness of the thin man, gritted my teeth, and said, "I want to know, tell me!"

Money can make ghosts grind, so after I begged him, the thin man cleared his throat and told me the story in detail. Although Longtan Township is still in a state of development, the people in the vicinity have been keenly smelling the smell of commerce, but there must always be people who are not in the past, such as an old man surnamed Long, yes, the dragon of the Dragon King. Moreover, his attitude is very different from that of other enthusiastic villagers, he just sits quietly in the corner and waits for the people who come to ask, and never takes the initiative to solicit. Then the gods chattered to the tourists that this is the place where the evil dragon is suppressed, the popularity is too strong will be punished by God, the young people think he is out of place, the older generation does not want to see him, here is Longtan Township, the children and grandchildren are worshiping the grandfather of the dragon king to be able to adjust the rain and the five grains are abundant, until now the dragon king marries are the highlight of the folk performance, if it is not for the old man of the dragon is a little older, he has already been driven away, the local folk customs are very strong, it is said that when the ten years of turmoil, the "million male division" came to hundreds of people and its menacing four old, As a result, everyone went back, and the rebel brigade searched the mountains three times, but there was no one alive or dead, and finally they went back in disgrace. Locals say that it was these students who annoyed the Dragon Lord and sent him to the Crystal Palace!

These thin men are also hearsay, he is an outsider, he has no support when he recovers, he has recognized a few relatives with the surname Long, and he has traveled south and north to the north to talk about the lotus, is it also the number one person! And the owner of this piece of petrified wood, Old Man Long, is a local native, according to the generation, Old Man Long should be his grandfather, it is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he was still a Yunwen Yunwu figure, but unfortunately he was confused, and now he is scolded every day without temper. Just tell stories to the children, especially insisting that the stone that pressed the pickles in his house was stained with fairy energy, and he usually moved out rain or shine to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon! This photo was probably taken by the monkey baby.

"It's rare to see someone interested in this, in fact, Old Man Long is also a big local family, and there are a lot of good things. The old man goes out of the mountain at this time of year, and it is rare to be at home, his son is a loser, and everything has changed chips! The thin man said slowly, and I listened carefully on the side, until I heard that this piece of petrified wood could also be used for "sale", and then I made a "huh" sound.

"You say, he's going to be able to sell this petrified wood? Can you give you a thumbs up? I asked, laughing.

The thin man took me to Old Man Long's house, and he was greeted by a local voice along the way, which shows that his popularity is very good. I didn't notice the local people's fierce customs, but I only saw them putting out the things of the old sesame seeds and rotten grains at home to buy and sell. Some local specialties were displayed everywhere, and the shouting and shouting surrounded us from the moment we entered the village, and they sold most of them herbs and their own sweet wine, which did not arouse my interest at all. According to the thin men, their clientele is tourists, couples, and people of all religions, such as folklorists and antique dealers. And this is also one of the reasons that caught my attention, the small Longtan Township, all kinds of real and fake antiques are really a lot, probably left by those flag people in the late Qing Dynasty! The thin man continued.

When they got to the place, they nodded to me, and the thin man told me to wait, and walked over to look and talk to a half-old man with blank eyes.

"Oh, did he tell you something?" When the thin man came back from chatting with the half-old man, my eyes lit up immediately, because seeing that chatting with the locals and getting information was the skill of the thin man, and presumably, the thin man got a lot of information from the mouth of the half-old man.

"He told me a half-truth." The thin man smiled, and the corners of his mouth were crooked wickedly, and the look so evil that I wanted to pull him down and beat him hard, who made my favorite thing be a man who was full of confidence, as if there was nothing in the world that could make him embarrassed. But uncle, you don't match this expression!

"Don't sell it, how much is it, say it." With a sigh, I said directly. Get ready for the other lion's mouth to open wide!

Oh, don't be in such a hurry...... "Seeing that Guan Zi can't be sold, the thin man still put a little money on the table, and then continues: "He said, this is something handed down by his ancestors, it is very historical and precious, his ancestors were big officials of the Ming Dynasty, and later offended the powerful before he was exiled to this place, and his family fell into the middle of the road, and he has been living very poorly, this jade tablet is what his ancestors have been preserving, and it is said that the immortals who got the Tao of Longhu Mountain opened the light, The stone carvings on the jade tablet are some symbols with spells. It is said that it can keep him safe, and it is very effective, but unfortunately his life at home is not good now, and the children want to go to school, so they are in a hurry to sell this family heirloom so that the children can study. ”

As I listened, I frowned unconsciously, looked at the photo in my hand carefully, then raised my head and said to the thin man, "He's lying."

The thin man didn't say anything, just smiled and motioned with his eyes for me to continue.

"Let's not mention that this is a family heirloom of pickles! I have always continued to study the history after the Three Kingdoms period, so, based on my understanding of the Ming Dynasty, I feel that this must not belong to the carving of the Ming Dynasty. Putting the picture down, I said to the thin man, "So, he must be lying." In the Ming Dynasty, the carving and production of carvers have become more and more refined, while the carvings on the petrified wood appear rough, so it will never be a product of the Ming Dynasty. "That's right, I thought the same thing when I saw the petrified wood, and I had another idea about the petrified wood and the pattern on the petrified wood. The immortals are not necessarily fake, but the origin is debatable!

"So, what do you think?" I was interested in the thin man, and I wondered if the idea of the thin man would be the same as I imagined again for the tourist in front of me.

"This pattern, although it is very simple, and the pattern is not clear because of the wear and tear of time, yes, it was originally engraved on the petrified wood, it should be a dragon." Pointing to the pattern in the photo, the thin man looked straight at me. "The size is also an antiquity, little girl, you can raise your noble hand...... Lest you have too many dreams at night! ”

Surprise flashed across my face, followed by a smile and pride.

Due to the fact that it is not long in development and the tourist off-season, the night of Longtan Ancient Township is very quiet. In the middle of the moon, it was the time when the capital city began to revelry, and Longtan had already fallen asleep, and the occasional cool breeze was like its even and slow breathing when it was asleep.

After figuring out the petrified wood for a long time, I couldn't enter the door, could it be said to be an illusion? Holding the map I borrowed from the front desk of the country hotel, I walked through the streets paved with flowers and stones, and walked past the bungalows built of civil engineering, and by the hazy moonlight, I felt like I had fallen into time and space. As if returning to the distant Ming Dynasty, those women in water-sleeved robes were in such a silent night, looking forward to their husbands or sons returning from the distant waves.

I was hungry and finally found a small shop that was about to close, and it was a kind old woman who especially recommended me to eat home-made sweet rice cakes and egg cakes, and the drink was honey jasmine tea. Perhaps because I was so hungry, I felt that this meal was very delicious and soothed my tired body and mind a little.

"Mother-in-law, what is the place of Yue's house?" I pointed to the map and asked, and there was a five-corner sign on the map that said "Yue Zhai", which seemed to be very famous in Longtan.

"Oh. In the thirties and forties, Hongo produced a well-known wealthy merchant in the whole country, who was engaged in the silk cloth business, and the Yue Mansion was a large western-style building built by him. "

"Then is there a person named Yu Honghong here, do you know?"

The old woman's face changed slightly, and her hand was no longer neat when she was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and she said after a while: "Girl, how do you know Yu Honghong?" ”

"I'm a good friend of mine, what's wrong? ――”

"High school classmates? Or were they together as children? ”

"yes, high school classmates. Walking past relatives ...... when I was a child"

"What are you looking for her?"

"I want to play with her by the way."

"Play? You still don't know about her? It's been more than ten years since I died! ”

I don't have to pretend to be shocked: "Yu Honghong is dead? How so? ”

"It was a car accident, and it turned into meat sauce on the spot, poor one!"

The old woman 1510 will tell Honghong about the death of a car accident. There are noses and eyes.

"I really didn't expect it, wasn't it rescued at that time? Maybe it can be saved. ”

"My head was flattened, my body was broken, what else could I salvage?"

I sighed: "Yu Honghong is dead...... Cremation or burial? ”

"It's burned. Seventy years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, should you still be able to occupy arable land? ”

The clue is broken.

I asked thoughtfully: "Yu Honghong's house...... Didn't do anything for her? After Yu Honghong's death...... Nothing else? Have you ever heard that Yu Honghong gave it to others...... What ......"

"I don't understand what you mean, people die when they die, what's the matter?" The old woman became impatient, and turned to fiddle with the contents of the shelves.

It seemed that there was nothing else, so I hurriedly said: "I still want to go to Yu Honghong's house to see, the old woman told me, who else is in Yu Honghong's house?" ”

"Yu Honghong's mother died early; Dad is an old stubborn, he usually doesn't like to talk, and he can't stand a fart with three legs, but when he talks, a sentence can push you to the south wall. She also has an old woman at home, and in her old age, her eyes are blind from crying...... Go forward here, the second house in the northwest of Longtan Township, there is a dead elm tree at the door, which is Yu Honghong's house. Go, go, go, guard against the dogs. ”

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I felt deserted. The room was even darker, like a deep culvert. I saw that the old grandmother was asleep in bed, and Yu Honghong's father was napping against the door frame. There was no sound, and even the dogs and chickens in the yard lay still. Seeing someone coming, the old man raised his head, glanced indifferently, and rested his head on his knees again. Why have you never heard Mu Tongtong talk about her family?

I said, "Uncle, my surname is Shen, I am a friend of Yu Honghong, I came to see you." ”

The old man was indifferent. I think he must have been so sad.

"Thank you, uncle, thank you for everything your daughter has done for me." I am full of emotion, if Yu Honghong is Mu Tongtong, our grievances and entanglements will last for a long time.

The old man still didn't respond. I wonder if he doesn't want to talk about his daughter? Maybe he thinks it's all over, and all grievances and hatreds are superfluous.

I finally said again: "I want to see Sister Yu Honghong, where are the ashes buried?" ”

At this time, the old man stood up, picked up a straw hat next to him, and walked out. When I was almost out of the courtyard, I looked back at me, and with pain and sorrow in my eyes, I hurried to follow.

In the north of Longtan Township, there is a small grave mound, the new soil on the grave has not yet dried up, and there are a few pieces of paper and money scattered around.

I stood in front of the grave and wept. The old man squatted on the side, not crying, as if he was just waiting for me.

I sobbed and said, "Thank you Yu Honghong, thank you father, thank you grandmother, thank you for your great kindness." Whatever it is, it wasn't your care from high school to college, and I didn't have the current ...... Yu Honghong, I will always remember you, you are not actually dead, you gave me the courage to live. You also live, you live on mine, and my life is your life......"

The old man suddenly stood in front of me, stared at me and asked, "What?" What do you say? ”

I was so frightened that I stepped back: "Did I say something wrong?" Yu Honghong gave me courage ......"

"Phew!" The old man pointed at me angrily, "Nonsense! What nonsense! ”

I was busy explaining to the old man, but the more he explained, the more annoyed the old man became, glaring, opening his mouth, pointing at me and scolding. The old man said that I had come to abuse him, to abuse his dead daughter. What's that? Yu Honghong died as early as when she was in high school, and all you said was nonsense! He scolded relentlessly, and his saliva sprayed all over my face. I stepped back and apologized. It's not that I'm running fast, that thin hand has to grab my neck.

I ran a long way, and when I looked back, the old man was still beating his chest and scolding...... I'm full of doubts. I want to go back to find out, Mu Tongtong and Yu Honghong are really not the same person?

Holding the map in my hand, I knew that I would go straight forward for 50 meters and turn right, and the third intersection would be the country hotel where I came. At this time, the moon cooperated and hid behind a wandering dark cloud, reluctant to come out. It was dark ahead. After a moment's hesitation, I decided to go back to the hotel. "It's too dark tonight, it's never too late to come back during the day." After thinking about it, I laughed at myself again, "I, I, it turns out that you are also a coward."

No, I just promised Shi Lingren, don't be rash.

There was a sound of talking in front of me, and the figure flickered, which startled me, and then I found that I had taken a shortcut, and I just passed through the simple market that I passed during the day, but the third watch in the middle of the night was brightly lit and full of people. As I passed by the market, I accidentally glanced at the stalls inside, which were flowers, birds, jade, ancient coins, etc., yes, it reminded me that during the day, the thin man said the same thing.

The most common people here are not tourists, but folklorists and antique dealers!

I'm not playing the folklore scholar right now. Okay, since you've passed by, let's go and have a look.

There are a lot of jade objects in the front one, unlike those novel pendants in other stalls, there are nearly half jade objects that seem to be some years old, so let's go here, I walked over.
