Chapter 22 Give the old man a cigarette
This girl has only one relationship with her. She is a key university and has a bright future. If you just say that, you will disappear.
The dentist also has a few distant relatives. He moved to another place many years ago and rarely interacted with each other.
From the day Lao Tian disappeared, there were constant strange things in the village. Finally, young people who did not believe in feudal superstition called the police. The people from the county police station came that afternoon.
Seeing the police car, I sneaked out of the crowd.
The police from Dao County Police Station took the dentist away for treatment, and Yunyun buried it that day. After visiting and inquiring, the police learned that a group of outsiders had recently come to the village. They found the landlord, and the landlord led them to find us.
"You said you came from Beijing? Traveling?"
There was no record either, and a police officer in his forties asked casually.
He could not tell the slightest expression of his head and face, and he glanced at me.
I immediately smiled and said, "Yes, we came from Beijing Tongzhou, and we are also folk culture and art lovers. Last year, I saw the Guizailing site on TV, so I came here to take a look and travel."
"By the way, I am a friend of the specialist Yang Xiongxin of the County Cultural Relics Administration Bureau. I just came back from him a few days ago."
"oh?"
"Where is the ID card, I'll take a look."
We took out our ID cards one by one, and he frowned and asked, "Northeast, Henan, Fujian, Shandong... aren't you all from the same place?"
I smiled and said yes, we all come from all over the world.
The person driving the Santana police car was a young police officer with a buzz cut and in his twenties. He returned the ID card to us and said, "After reading it, go quickly. There was a person missing in Guizailing last year. He is also a fan like you. If you need help, you can..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly looked stunned and stared at a place.
I followed his gaze and there were several leather buckets in the corner of the wall, all covered with lids, with a bit eye-catching color.
It is natural for mice to be afraid of cats. Don’t look at Douyazai’s usual whine, now he is a little nervous, clenched his fists and then subconsciously let go.
"So many barrels? What's in the barrel?" asked the young police officer at the police station.
My heart was beating.
The bucket was filled with dry diving suits... Xiaoxuan kept it in the bucket a few days ago and didn't move.
I smiled and said, "That's all old clothes. There is no electricity here in winter and the clothes cannot be washed clean. I have to soak them for several days. If you don't believe me, please ask the landlord."
The landlord stood behind the policeman and nodded immediately and said, "Yes, there is no electricity. I haven't paid the electricity bill for several years. I have removed the meter."
"Okay, okay, let's go, Xiao Liu, I've returned to the office for dinner, but I just died unexpectedly. I have to send the old lady to the hospital in the afternoon."
Seeing the two of them turn around and leave, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, when they all stepped out of the threshold with one foot, the young policeman suddenly turned around and walked back, saying, "Let me take a look."
My soul was about to be scared away. Xiaoxuan had a dark face and said nothing, and Douyazai's expression was almost crying.
Before he could figure out what to say, the young policeman directly lifted the lid of the leather bucket.
He looked into the bucket one by one, turned around and nodded at me, and left.
Xiaoxuan immediately ran out and took a look, "I've walked away."
"Close the door quickly," I said.
I ran over and saw that what was soaked in the bucket was just ordinary changing clothes.
What's going on? What about the borrowed diving suit?
At this time, he smiled and patted me and said, "Yunfeng, we must never forget our identity, so we will not be able to do this."
Uncle Xue also said a few words to me with a smile.
Just this small detail, I didn't take it seriously, but hid my diving suit in advance. Moreover, if there was a similar situation, he might have thought of what I would say...
If we really want to be caught, we can't explain it even if we have a hundred mouths.
You can't say that you can take a gas cylinder and diving suit to catch fish in the small pond, right?
No one would believe it, there were no fish in the pond. Next, I went straight to the melons, found the casing Luoyang shovel in our box under the bed in the house, and then caught us directly.
After dinner, I was putting water in the toilet outside the yard and suddenly came in. He untied his pants and said, "Yunfeng, at 330, you can go to the village head alone to get the letter. Don't take it back. You burn it after reading it and come back to tell me the content."
"What does it mean to put the head?"
"Don't ask, be careful." He put two drops of water on his head, put his pants on his pocket and left.
I asked me to wait at the village head at 3:30, but I went there before three o'clock.
There is a big willow tree at the entrance of Tiandong Village. In summer, there are many elderly people playing chess under the tree. In winter, there are a lot of people. There are only an old man who has no teeth to eat and sit there. I have never seen him before.
"Did you give Qifen?" The old man without tooth suddenly said to me.
I said I had eaten, what's wrong?
He put his hand on the crutch: "You are so bright, I'm going to be so angry."
"What?"
"Eat me?"
I know that Qi means eating. He said Qi is just eating. Why do you still eat me? You want to eat people?
I thought for a long time before I realized that the old man might mean that you are dressed well, can you give me some food? This is what it means.
Seeing that he was wearing a torn dress, it might be a widowed old man who was not taken care of in the village. I said I had no food and I could give you a cigarette.
I gave him the furong king, and the old man was not polite, and he just took it and it was so slap.
"Boom..." At this moment, a motorcycle sound suddenly came from behind.
"Did you get the letter?" the motorcycle man stopped and asked me.
I nodded and said yes.
He took out an envelope from his arms and gave it to me, "The letter has been delivered, give me twenty dollars."
I didn't say I wanted money, but as soon as I touched my pocket, I had one for ten yuan and two for one yuan.
I said that's all right?
The person riding the motorcycle pointed and said, "Then give me that pack of cigarettes."
All of them were given to him, and I walked aside and opened the envelope.
There is a small piece of paper folded in the envelope, with only three small characters written on it.
“Not a human….”
I frowned when I saw it. Isn't it human? Who isn't a human?
Did you write it wrong?
At this time, a word is popular among young people, "Not me," someone who has just become popular QQ talks to you, "Are you there?"
Many people will reply, "Not me."
But what does it mean if this is not a human?
Is it a ghost?
I didn't understand, so I took out the lighter and burned the note.
The person who rode a motorcycle to deliver the letter was not from Tianguangdong Village, but he should be a local from Yongzhou. I saw him chatting with the old man under the willow tree.
The envelope burned down, and I was about to go back when the old man suddenly stopped me and said.
"It snowed last week. A cub has been planted and he couldn't come out for a long time."
The man riding a motorcycle looked at me and blew up the ashes: "Some time ago, the old man said that he saw a man fall into the water and never came to see him."
What I thought of instantly was Lao Tian who stole our diving suit.
I turned around and asked, "Brother, please ask me, it's true or false, do you see what that person looks like."
After the conversation, the motorcycle rider said to me:
"I asked, the old man said he wanted a pack of cigarettes."
