Zhang Dada stood at the door of the hotel and smoked a smoky cigarette. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info innkeeper Gan Cowpea sat on a plastic stool next to him, crossed Erlang's legs, and the slippers on his feet shook up and down. From time to time, he greeted the occasional passerby, bent down to pick up the small leather ball that the child accidentally kicked while playing, and then threw it at the children.

"Why don't you go find that kid?" Zhang Dada spat out a round smoke ring into the sky, and blew it away in one breath. Two children were missing in the town, and all the young people went to help find them, but Dried Cowpea was unmoved.

"Haha~ What do you say Ma Daquan's son?" said Dry Cowpea without replying, his voice was very soft, revealing a taste of disdain. "That kid is very hard, he can't die!"

Zhang Dada raised his eyebrows in surprise and did not speak immediately. He doesn't think so, he believes that if he disappears inexplicably, he must be lucky and unlucky. He knew that Dude must have died somewhere, otherwise why he hadn't shown up yet. As for the child, he had seen the son of the hardware store owner, who looked quite smart, but it was a pity that his thin body could not withstand the torture of the gangsters, if there were gangsters carrying him.

"There's no life in this town!" he said at last, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

The cowpea was still flicking at his upturned foot, when a blue fist-sized ball rolled at his feet, and he bent down again to pick it up, but did not immediately throw it back to the child, who ran crookedly towards him. He took a closer look at the ball, then waited for the kid to come running. "Little cub, next time you roll over, I won't give it back to you!" he squeezed the ball and looked at the kid with a grin.

The boy nodded, took the ball from his hand with a wince, and immediately turned and ran, falling down once. Dried cowpea burst out laughing at this.

"Before you came, it was quite safe here. Dried cowpea suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Dada. "You and that beauty should check out as soon as possible, you are not welcome here!"

"Boss! What do you mean?" Zhang Da couldn't help but get nervous when he heard this, he didn't want to go to the house on the top of the mountain.

"Did I say Dude was killed by you?" Dry Cowpea stood up suddenly, grinning at an older sister who greeted him. The volume of his speech was just enough for Zhang Dada to hear. "The poor garbage picker. His last sentence was very soft, as if he were speaking to himself.

"What did you say?" Zhang Dada was stunned for a moment, and his smoking hand shook unnaturally. "I don't know what you mean!"

Dried cowpea turned to look at Zhang Da calmly, he looked at him for a while, and then laughed.

"Fatty, how much money can you make from the development of our town? Dude can make a lot of money from Linzi, what do you want to make that place into? I bet Dude is suddenly gone, and you can't get rid of it!"

"Dude's disappearance has nothing to do with me, I've already explained it to the police. ”

"The police told me to watch you!" Dried Cowpea walked into the house. "If you're gone, I won't have to watch over you every day. ”

"I thought they would arrange for other police officers to spy on me. Zhang Dada took another puff of his cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out with his foot.

Cowpea poured himself a glass of water, and then sat down in a cool chair, his yellow face longing for smoking too much marijuana. He pursed his lips and blew lightly on the edge of the glass, then placed it on a nearby wooden bench.

"You think this town is the same as your big city, there are a lot of police on the streets! I tell you, there are not many people!Hmph~ They all went to look for that little rabbit cub. You don't know that fat man who disappeared not long ago, oh, it's a bit like you, I've found it. It's floating in the Pu'er River! The belly is so big!Tut-tut~" Dried cowpea said and formed a circle with his left and right hands, and then waved his hands again. "Pity his parents, they are crying to death!"

Zhang Dada changed his posture unnaturally, he heard that the people all over the street were talking about the child, saying that he had drowned somehow, and that the child never went to that river.

"What a pity!" he said, pulling another cigarette out of his bag. "One for you?" he said, pointing the cigarette he shook out at the dried cowpea. The dried cowpea got up slightly and pulled one away. Zhang Dada stepped over and lit it for him, and also for himself.

"Boss, you are a real person, do you see me like a murderer?" Zhang Dada took a puff of cigarette and looked at the dried cowpeas through the smoke.

Instead of looking up at him, Dry Cowpea turned to look at the pedestrians on the street. There weren't many people on the street at the moment. "A murderer would write on his face that I killed someone?"

There was silence for a moment, neither of them spoke, only the sound of smoking lips smacking. "Hu Sheng is your boss?" Dry Cowpea left his half-smoked cigarette still on the ground, not stomping it out with his feet.

Zhang Dada looked at the half lying on the ground, but still smoking from the sparks, and frowned. He nodded and emphasized that he was only a temporary boss.

"What do you mean by a temporary boss?"

"After completing the Longmen project, I am not ready to cooperate with him!"

"You didn't know who he was before?"

"Yes. He killed his father-in-law. ”

Dry cowpea nodded, "The people in the town have never liked him, they didn't like him when they were young, they didn't like it when they grew up, and they didn't like it even more when they killed people later." He's the broom star of this town. ”

"I guess that's probably why we're not popular, right?"

"Now there are people who like him very much, you know the supermarket owner, Lao Zhang (Xie Junya's husband) and the owners of several rice noodle shops are very grateful to him!"

Zhang Dada nodded, he knew that Hu Sheng came back to make the people in this town look up to him and respect him, and he didn't know how much he had done.

"Do you know that the owner of the hardware store whose dog was hacked to death and hung on Anna Zhou's grave?"

Zhang Dada shook his head, he didn't know, or he didn't want Dried Cowpea to know that he knew.

"I'm sure he did it. He and the owner of the hardware store are not compatible. Tut-tut~ Murderous dog, and came to warn. ”

Zhang Dada knew a little about this matter, and Li Zhen told them. In the valley, I saw a dog that had been killed hanging upside down on a tree branch. So he didn't think Hu Sheng would do such a stupid thing.

"I don't think he did it. ”

"What?"

"Kill the dog. ”

"Who's that?"

"I don't know, but I know that Hu Sheng came back to make the people in this town accept him, or respect him, I don't know what he used to be, and I don't think he would do such a nasty thing as soon as he came back. Zhang Dada took the last puff of cigarette, but did not throw away the cigarette butt.

Cowpea stared at him for half a salary, and then said, "When are you checking out?" (To be continued.) )
