---

After the rain stopped, the people from the police station left.

When they came today, they just took a look at the scene of the crime and asked about the situation, but they didn’t take any notes.

Last year, Father Zhang reported the case, and it was these two people who came. Up to now, none of the lost items have been retrieved, and there has been no compensation. This time too, they are the ones who came.

At that time, Father Zhang and Mother Zhang carefully followed what the police station said, double-checked every item that was lost, wrote down the name and price, and asked their son and daughter about the words they couldn’t write, thinking that the thief would be caught, no matter how bad it was. There can also be some compensation.

The old couple waited anxiously day after day, and there was no news, so they gradually understood the truth.

When the same thing happened this time, Father Zhang and Mother Zhang reported the case immediately.

When ordinary people lose something at home, it is impossible to find the thief by their own strength. This is the only way to go, even if they have experienced disappointment.

The principle of familiarity once and twice does not work in the police station. Whatever the procedure should be, that is the procedure to follow.

Father Zhang’s pocket was filled with mild Zhonghua, which had been covered with heat for a long time and did not disperse.

When he was in the first grade, Father Zhang threw his schoolbag into the river, and he went down as well, because he didn’t want to go to school.

Father Zhang became a member of the society very early. From selling vegetables and geese, collecting chicken feathers and duck feathers, to going out to work as a contractor, his path became narrower and narrower in middle age.

Because his glorious era has long faded, and he can’t keep up with the current era.

Every time he settles the accounts, Father Zhang struggles. He keeps saying that he should have studied in the past, but now he can’t even read pinyin, and the loss is due to his lack of education.

Up to now, when Father Zhang is seeking profit for himself, he still enjoys it. Who can brag in front of people, and who can listen to the other person’s bragging in front of them. These two different occasions, he clearly distinguishes them, never making a mistake.

But the people in the police station didn’t follow Father Zhang’s tricks, and the mild Zhonghua in his pockets made him somewhat embarrassed and anxious, and the bloodshot eyes became even more frightening.

When leaving, one of the people from the police station kindly reminded, “This construction site is chaotic, and it is impossible to establish the small shops around without installing a surveillance camera.”

Father Zhang held the man’s hand and said a few words of thanks, “Go slowly.”

At first, when the front door was still being renovated, Father Zhang thought of installing surveillance cameras. He inquired about it and thought it would be a bit expensive to install it. The shop was about to open, and the purchase needed a sum of money. He asked his son and daughter to show him on the internet.

Father Zhang is busy with renovations and wants to buy goods. As a person, even if he is buying a piece of soap, a towel, or a pen, he will shop around. It’s good if it’s a dime cheaper.

When the shop was running like that, Father Zhang put the groceries he had brought in on the shelves, and hurriedly applied for a business license, a food business license, and a health certificate, and went to the Tobacco Bureau to apply for a tobacco certificate. Busy with this and that, the monitoring system dragged on.

People from the police station came and left in a hurry, and the noise outside still existed without any impact.

Whose property is robbed is none of their business, as long as their pockets are still in good condition.

Zhang Yao came down from upstairs. The clothes she wore when she came here were washed and hung in the shed where she lived before. Now she is wearing a dress with the skirt reaching to the ankle. Although it is quite long, the skirt The fabric is close-fitting, and her hips are wide. Even if she doesn’t bend over, when she walks, the outline of the shape is obvious, which will attract the attention of others.

The noise from the cigarette machine changed a lot when Zhang Yao came out.

This group of people was brought over by Qi Feng. They were different from the other workers who came a few months ago. When they saw Zhang Yao for the first time, they would inevitably show amazement in their eyes, and each of them would stare straight ahead.

Zhang Yao was still a bit haggard, with dark circles under her eyes, and she didn’t sleep well. She had a straightforward personality, and when she saw more than a dozen eyes glued to her body, she immediately frowned, “What are you looking at? Have you never seen a woman?”

Everyone laughed and whispered to each other, their eyes flicked over Zhang Yao.

Zhou Yang is the youngest, just a grown-up, he couldn’t hold his breath, he was the first to speak, and smiled in a ruffian way, “Hi, beautiful.”

Zhang Yao gave him a glance and went to the man smoking with his legs crossed, smacked her lips and said, “Qi dage, I saw you on the side of the road yesterday. You had a cigarette dangling from your mouth. After getting on the train, you smoked a few, and when you got off the train, you smoked again. I fell asleep and saw you, and you were still smoking. Seriously, your addiction to smoking is as good as my dad’s.”

The cigarette between Qi Feng’s fingers was almost burnt out, “Cigarettes are good things, one to quench your thirst, three to make you happy, one pack……”

He swept the tip of his tongue and pushed the cigarette butt out of his mouth, “You can become immortal.”

Zhang Yao laughed loudly, and pushed the man on the shoulder, “You still want to be an immortal, Qi dage, you are so funny, if you can become immortal with just a pack of cigarettes, then my dad would already be a Daluo immortal.”

A big goose egg can be stuffed in everyone’s mouth.

It turned out that the boss knew the beauty, the eyes of everyone present changed, and there was a little more ambiguity in it.

Zhou Yang asked Zhang Yao how she met their boss, Zhang Yao finally took a serious look, he was a small young man, about the position of her shoulder, “I lost my mobile phone, Qi dage found it, that’s how we know each other.”

Straightening his waist, Zhou Yang said with a dark face, “No, beauty, why are you bending over to talk to me?”

Zhang Yao laughed, “Because you are too short.”

There was a burst of laughter from under the shed, Zhou Yang face turned red like pepper, and gritted his teeth, “You are not as cute as your Gege!”

Instead of being angry, Zhang Yao smiled more happily, “That’s right.”

As she said that, she took a few steps to the left, looked at Dousha’s little kennel, her eyes dimmed, and she turned and went back.

Zhou Yang stared at Zhang Yao’s back, as if he was about to stare out a big hole. The people there are generally not tall, and Brother Qi’s height is very rare. How can a woman be so taller than him?

It doesn’t matter if she is taller than him, but she deliberately bent over when talking, Zhou Yang snorted, “I really don’t know what’s going on in the little girl’s head now.”

Qi Feng grabbed the wooden table and shook it, a group of flies lying on it flew around, “People are older than you.”

Zhou Yang couldn’t believe it. After he asked for confirmation, his face collapsed, “Why is everyone older than me?!”

He chuckled, “But that girl is super positive.”

The older workers didn’t get involved, they didn’t have much interest, at most they just peeked at them with their eyes, but the younger workers were different, the blood in their bodies was much higher, it was very hot, and it would ignite at any time. Some licked their lips and laughed wantonly.

Qi Feng said indifferently, “If it itches there, I’ll send you to the town to find a brothel, don’t fucking find trouble for me.”

When everyone heard the words, they all collected their thoughts.

Someone was joking, and the flesh on his face was trembling, “Boss, when are you going to go shopping in the town? It’s okay if you don’t say it, but when you say it, I’ll get itchy, and I want to ask the brothel lady to scratch it.”

Several people who are about the same age as him are also echoing.

Qi Feng scoffed, “Excellent.”

Not to mention Zhou Yang, everyone else knows that, they all follow the boss to travel north and south, no matter where they go to relax, the boss does not participate.

In his mid thirties, and will be turning forty in a few years, would rather do it himself than find a woman. As if he wants to save money, but the family doesn’t have any debts, and they can’t figure out the reason.

Everyone knew this, and no one said anything about it.

“You can go to the newly opened one in the town. Maybe there is a discount, but I don’t know how the service is.”

Zhou Yang glanced into the small shop, “The siblings don’t look alike, Gege looks like his mother, with a good face, his eyes are bent when he doesn’t smile, and one wants to bully when looks at him, meimei looks like father, with thick eyebrows big eyes and high nose bridge, very fierce.”

Huang Dan at the counter was drinking water from a cup, paying attention to the voices outside. He heard the young man named Zhou Yang say, “Boss Zhang has lost a lot this time.”

This happened the night before, and it was still hot in everyone’s memory. The topic was picked up by Zhou Yang, and the others followed suit.

“Hey, who do you think would do such immoral things?”

“It must be someone nearby.”

“Damn, you don’t suspect people on the construction site did it?”

“Aren’t there local villagers nearby? I heard that cash and cigarettes were stolen. If you steal these two things back, you can use them however you want.”

Zhou Yang unwrapped a bag of broad beans, ate them crunchily, and poured some for the person next to him, “The night before yesterday, when it was almost twelve o’clock, I was so hot that I couldn’t sleep, so I came here to buy beer, and the dog rushed at me and bark.”

Qi Feng’s flicking of cigarette ash paused slightly, almost undetectable, including his passing gaze.

The others seemed to be surprised to hear Zhou Yang mention this for the first time, “That is to say, the thief entered the small shop after you left?”

Zhou Yang ate broad beans, his voice was muffled, “It should be.”

“Then why didn’t you tell Boss Zhang about this? The people from the police station came just now.”

Zhou Yang ate the broad beans in a few bites, and threw the bag on the ground casually, “What does it have to do with me, besides, what kind of world do you think you are now, don’t think about it, it is impossible to catch people based on that.”

“That’s right. There have been thieves in my house before. People can’t catch them. The stolen money is like a waste of money.”

“Isn’t there a small shop over there too? Why hasn’t it been stolen?”

“It’s not that Boss Zhang’s family has a big heart, and when they were supposed to come back so late, they didn’t leave anyone to watch the store.”

“I don’t think it won’t be stolen if you stay here. The dogs were all downed and killed. If someone is there, after the two sides collide, they will probably kill people out of self-preservation.”

“Hehe, you know a lot.”

Zhou Yang, who didn’t speak for a while, suddenly said, “That small shop was opened by Foreman Wang’s meimei. It doesn’t have many items and is expensive. The business is much worse than Boss Zhang’s. Except for the wave that Foreman Wang brought over, basically no one goes to buy things.”

He lowered his voice, “I just heard that the husband of Foreman Wang’s meimei came to Boss Zhang and asked him to set a higher price for cigarettes, wine and drinks, the same price for the two families, and everyone who has money can earn together. “

Some older workers sneered, “This is sure that we have no place to buy things, so they want to slaughter us like fat sheep.”

Zhou Yang said hesitantly, “But I found out that some things Boss Zhang sold to us are still cheaper than those sold by Foreman Wang’s meimei. For example, the green tea costs three yuan a bottle over there, while Boss Zhang sells it for two yuan and five dollars. We often buy two bottles at a time, you said, could it be that Foreman Wang and his family found out, and felt unhappy……”

The discussion was suddenly interrupted by a hoarse voice, “Work has started.”

Zhou Yang didn’t finish his sentence, he pouted, “No way, Qi dage, I went to see it, the ground is covered with mud, and the frame is still wet, no matter what, we can’t start work until the afternoon.”

Qi Feng drooped his eyelids, “Then go to the dormitory to sleep, play cards if you can’t sleep, don’t be stuck here.”

As soon as he spoke, everyone went to the small shop to buy snacks and water.

Huang Dan frowned, displeased with the man’s interruption, he could have heard more.

After giving change to the last worker, Huang Dan sat back on the chair again, “Mr. System, I want to look at the task screen again.”

System, “Wait a moment.”

A screen soon appeared in front of Huang Dan. He looked down, thinking he had misread it, so he closed his eyes and looked again, “Why is the column for filling in the target gone?”

System, “The task release screen has been modified once. Only after the host reads the target’s name, that column appears.”

Huang Dan，“……”

He asked, “Is that what your boss meant?”

The system, “It is not the boss of the subordinate, but the boss of the boss.”

Huang Dan thought it seems that Mr. System works in a relatively large organization.

Just a little disappointed.

Huang Dan hopes to be able to guess how many targets there are based on the length of the dashed line, just like the previous task of crossing the world.

After clearing his mind, Huang Dan thought of another thing, “Mr. System, last time you mentioned to me that the Chrysanthemum spirit company will have an event every year. Remember to notify me when the time comes. I can do it anytime.”

System said, “Mr. Huang, I’m sorry I don’t understand, you already have a lot of chrysanthemum spirits, and you still have tens of millions of points, enough for you to squander at will, then why……”

Huang Dan interrupted with a voice, “The more chrysanthemum spirit, the more I will feel safe.”

System，“……”

Huang Dan took a bag of melon seeds, wanted to open it but put it back. He had a blister on his mouth, and he was a little hot, so he didn’t eat it.

According to the words outside just now, Huang Dan sorted out several clues.

One, the night before yesterday, when Zhou Yang came to buy things just before twelve o’clock, the Dousha was still there, and the shop was not robbed.

Second, there was contact between another small shop and the original owner’s family. The price of the goods was different, and the business was not as good as the original owner’s.

However, Huang Dan did not find the fragments related to the second clue from the original owner’s memory, perhaps because he did not know about it.

He looked thoughtfully at the young man who was playing with everyone outside. The two clues were given by Zhou Yang.

“Zhou Yang……”

Huang Dan said to himself, he put the young man in the first position of the suspect.

Because the opponent was the first to jump out.

Huang Dan didn’t think for a long time, and the group of people under sheds dispersed one after another.

Qi Feng was the last one to leave. He was wearing a black T-shirt and trousers. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and perky butts. His flattened hair was pitch black.

Huang Dan glanced at the man’s back, picked up the water glass and gulped a few mouthfuls of water.

It’s the end of August now, and it will be hot for a while, he sighed, he really doesn’t like summer.

The door was ajar, and the smell of tobacco wafted from inside.

Father Zhang sat at the table next to the refrigerator and smoked. He has been smoking for decades, and his addiction is very heavy. It has become an inseparable part of his life. He smokes one in the morning, one before meals, and after meals. One stick, at the end of the day, one or two packs when there are many, and almost one pack when there are few.

He smoked a lot, Father Zhang had a good face, he didn’t smoke such cigarettes as Lushan, Hongmei. He smoked such good cigarettes as Zhonghua, and even liked Yuxi.

In the past two years, Father Zhang has aged a lot, and he is always asking for money after calculating accounts, his back is bent. Although he still doesn’t want to dress like an old man, he has started to smoke some Liqun Mudan. He will keep a mild Zhonghua when go to the company to meet the boss, or take it out when participating in the wine bureau.

There was a mirror hanging on one wall of the kitchen. Zhang Yao stood in front of the mirror and patted eye bag on her face. She pulled off the hair rope around her wrist and quickly tied up her curly hair. “Dad, you should smoke less.”

Father Zhang hummed again, and continued to smoke, “You are as long-winded as your mom.”

Zhang Yao came out of the kitchen and said with a sigh, “Dad, I came here by road all the way from college, and just caught you arguing with my mom.”

Father Zhang wiped off the soot on his pants, and stared from his bloodshot eyes, “Who wants to quarrel with her? It’s all because she’s crazy!”

Zhang Yao shrinks her neck, a little scared, “Where’s Mom?”

Father Zhang’s throat was uncomfortable, and he spit into the trash can, “Went to do the laundry.”

Zhang Yao walked around the room, touched the mineral water box, and then went to touch the Sprite box, but there was no dust, which meant that it had just entered and sold very quickly. She looked up the stairs, and there was a mess. Goods piled up a lot.

“Dad, Ge and I will go to town later. If we have enough time, we will also go to the city. Is there anything you want to include?”

Father Zhang pinched the butt of his cigarette, “Put in some Hericium erinaceus fungus, timely, you like to eat that, by the way, butter cookies, and Orion’s cake, go there and see for yourself, tell your Ge what you want to eat, let him buy it for you.”

Zhang Yao wrote it down, “Is there anything else?”

Father Zhang said, “Buy some vegetables, eggs and carrots, and let your Ge watch and buy fruits.”

Zhang Yao said oh, and went upstairs, then went downstairs, with a small black bag on her shoulder, then she put on her light blue sneakers, “Ge, let’s go!”

Huang Dan outside responded, and came across a person who came to the small shop, that is another foreman, Wang Dongqiang.

Wang Dongqiang is in his forties, with a fat body and a shiny face. There is a big black mole on the left side of his neck with two hairs on it. He walked slowly across the threshold and picked his teeth with a toothpick. “One Hatamen.”

Huang Dan checked on the floor under the glass cabinet, “Dad, do you still have the Hatamen?”

Father Zhang said yes, and quickly found a Hatamen under the wooden shelf next to the bed and took it out, “Old Wang, have you eaten yet?”

Wang Dongqiang turned his head and took a sip, spit out the food scraps, “I’ve eaten it, you haven’t eaten it yet?”

Father Zhang said not yet.

Wang Dongqiang sat down on a stool, and chatted with Father Zhang, asking what the people from the police station said when they came, whether they would investigate the case, and how long it would take to find out.

There was a hint of worry in his words, he said that there were a lot of cigarettes and alcohol in his meimei’s small shop, and that he planned to install surveillance in the next two days.

Huang Dan did not go away, and sat on a chair to listen. The thief who entered the small shop the night before took nothing. Cheap cigarettes like the Hatamen Yue Tu were not stolen, and the lost batch of cigarettes cost more than one hundred.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced over the face of the original owner’s father, remembering that something was wrong when the other party was questioned. If there was really something else missing besides cigarettes and cash, what would it be?

People from the police station came to ask, but Father Zhang didn’t say anything, and neither the original owner nor Mother Zhang knew about it, which meant that he planned to hide it from everyone.

Why hide it?

Huang Dan was thinking about something when his arm was suddenly pulled, his eyelids twitched, and Zhang Yao’s voice was next to his ear, “Ge, why are you in a daze, I’ve called you several times.”

Zhang Yao urged, “Hurry up Ge, if it’s too late, don’t know when we’ll be back.”

Huang Dan said, “Okay.”

Father Zhang is in the small shop, so there will be no problems. He remembered something and shouted outside, “Buy a sauced duck, if you have time, kill another duck, and ask the owner of that shop if she has duck blood for sale.”

Zhang Yao walked back and said, “Dad, Ge and I have a lot to buy, let’s forget about the duck, we will buy it next time when we go together.”

Father Zhang waved his hand, “Okay, tell your Ge to drive slowly on the road.”

After it rained, there was still no coolness in the air, humidity on the face, drilled into the pores, a little disgusting.

Zhang Yao opened the window as soon as she got in the car, tilted her head, and entered a half-dead state.

Huang Dan drove to the town, no one talked to him, he was a little sleepy, his eyelids were lowering a little bit, “Xiaoyao, can I play some music?”

Zhang Yao closed her eyes, “Okay.”

Huang Dan went to play music, playing Dao Lang’s album, Father Zhang liked him.

Dao Lang’s hoarse singing sounded in the car, “You are my lover, a woman like a rose, with your fiery lips, let me be in……”

Huang Dan pressed it and turned it off. He felt that it was so loud.

Zhang Yao reacted, she opened her eyes, “Ge, are you feeling sleepy?”

Huang Dan said, “A little bit.”

Zhang Yao sat up straight immediately, she wiped her face, “I’ll talk with you.”

As a result, Zhang Yao vomited without saying a few words.

Huang Dan shook his head, “You might as well take a driver’s license test, people who get motion sickness won’t get dizzy while driving.”

Zhang Yao shook her head like a rattle, “Impossible, there is no chance in this life, I would rather walk on two legs.”

The siblings went to the town first, and then to the city to buy ducks, and they came back faster than usual.

When the rain stopped and the sky cleared, the sun could not bear and ran out to do its best. The ground would dry out soon, and the workers would be busy in the afternoon.

There are quite a few people inside and outside the small shop, with their arms swung, their jackets either draped over their shoulders or held in their hands, and their feet all wearing 3517 military shoes, which are affordable and sturdy.

Huang Dan scanned casually and found Qi Feng and He Peng standing at the corner. Wondering what they were talking about, the muscles on their arms were tense, their faces were tense, and they didn’t look very friendly to each other.

He stopped, looked around, took the mop leaning against the wall and went there.

Qi Feng and He Peng were arguing about something, when suddenly there were footsteps approaching, the expressions of both men changed, the former returned to his usual laziness, while the latter deliberately approached.

“Mopping to clean.”

Huang Dan turned on the tap, “Yes.”

He Peng smiled like a harmless person, “Tell you something, I went to a dog meat shop in the town to eat hot pot at noon, guess what I was thinking when I ate it?”

Huang Dan said, “I’m not guessing.”

He Peng was stunned, “What did you say?”

A low laugh came from behind, Qi Feng shook his shoulders, he couldn’t help but say two words from his lips, “Fucking idiot.”

He Peng didn’t hear it, otherwise his fist would be able to hit Qi Feng’s face. He said, “I was thinking, what is the name of your dog, Dousha or Sasha? It’s tall and plump. It should taste delicious.”

Huang Dan picked up the wet mop and carried it on his shoulder. The mop head swept half a circle in mid-air, and the water splashed out.

He Peng was splashed with mop water all over his face.

His staring eyes were horrifying, “Are you fucking courting death?”

Huang Dan said, “Sorry, I didn’t see you.”

He Peng spat, as if he was going to bully the little one today, and it was useless even if the king of heaven came, “Just a word of apology and it’s over?”

He put his hands on his hips, “Hey, you kid, why haven’t you learned a little from your father?”

Huang Dan said, “I’m going back to watch the shop.”

He Peng reached out and was about to grab Huang Dan’s collar, but his shoulder was pressed down, and the force pulled him aside.

Qi Feng had a cigarette in his mouth, “What are you up to? What are you fussing about with a child?”

“What’s the matter, do you want to intervene?”

He Peng pulled his greasy hair, “I’m confused, why are you involved in everything?”

Qi Feng exhaled a smoke ring, turned around and left, and was simply lazy to answer.

He didn’t have the problem of meddling in other people’s affairs. For the first two seconds, he couldn’t understand why he wanted to stop He Peng. He probably had nothing to do.

Rain is so fucking annoying.

Huang Dan looked at He Peng’s head, his hair was really black and greasy.

As soon as He Peng stopped pulling his hair, he roared, “What are you looking at? If you look at me again, I’ll dig out your eyeballs!”

Huang Dan left with a mop.

Suddenly there were two people missing at the corner, and He Peng was left alone, feeling suffocated from anger.

Huang Dan stayed in the small shop for a while and then went out alone. He bypassed a row of doors and workers’ dormitories, and went to the work shed where the original owner’s family used to live. The ground was overgrown with weeds, and the short ones were caught in the cracks of the stones, living freely.

Dousha was buried here after its death. Huang Dan followed the memory of the original owner to find the small soil bump. He went into one of the rooms of the shed and took an old shovel to dig the soil. The soil bump was empty.

He can’t remember the location wrongly, Huang Dan’s brows furrowed immediately.

Who dug up Dousha’s corpse?

Huang Dan put down his shovel, recalling what He Peng said, the other party must know something.

Huang Dan wouldn’t tell Father Zhang about the disappearance of Dousha’s corpse. It would do nothing but make them sad.

Huang Dan was walking towards the small shop when he stopped suddenly.

There is someone behind.

At the next moment, Huang Dan turned his head abruptly, the work shed under the sun was steaming silently, the surroundings were silent, the tender green grass swayed gently with the hot wind, and there were some clothes drying under the iron frame.

In broad daylight, the back of Huang Dan was damp, and he sweated a lot.

He hesitated for a moment, then raised his foot and walked towards the work shed.

Starting from the first room, Huang Dan went in one by one to check, not letting go of any corner.

In May last year, the original owner’s family moved from the shed to the small shop. The next day, the original owner’s mother came to the pool to wash clothes. The things inside that hadn’t been tidied up were turned into a mess, and all the keys were gone.

From then on, the original owner’s mother would not stay too late, whether she came to dry and wash clothes or to cultivate the vegetable field.

The place is creepy.

After checking the last room, Huang Dan found nothing. After he came out, he walked along the corridor and saw a pool. Further forward, there was a thatched hut surrounded by grass and trees. And plants are growing around bamboo fences half covering it

There are two shit buckets on one side of the hut, on which flies and mosquitoes bask in the sun.

Huang Dan felt that he should not bother the group of friends who were bathing in the sun. He was about to turn around and leave when a voice came into his ears, and a tall figure appeared in his field of vision, thrusting inside without any foreplay.

His body stopped, Huang Dan was caught off guard.

Qi Feng just came out of the hut, his hands were still on the belt, he narrowed his eyes when he saw the young man, “Are you running here to smell?”

Huang Dan asked without answering, “What about you?”

Qi Feng snapped on his belt, “To take a shit.”

Huang Dan asked, “Isn’t there a toilet next to your dormitory? Why are you here?”

Qi Feng hooked his lips, “My wish.”

Huang Dan didn’t speak.

Qi Feng saw the suspicion of the young man, and he made a sound from his nose, as if he was laughing, “What? Could it be that you thought I was lying?”

Huang Dan still didn’t make a sound, not knowing what he was thinking.

Qi Feng took a big step, “Have you smelled it? If you still can’t smell it, tell Shushu*, huh?”

A shadow fell, and Huang Dan’s eyebrows and eyes hid in the shadows, escaping from the engulfing of the sun, and the smell was blown into the nasal cavity by the hot wind. He pursed his lips, “It stinks.”

Qi Feng’s eyelids were half closed, “Nonsense, doesn’t your shit stinks?”

Huang Dan，“……”

Standing under the sun, Qi Feng’s exposed bronze skin was covered with sweat. He wiped his face and shook the sweat off his hands.

Huang Dan said, “You didn’t wash your hands.”

Qi Feng’s forehead twitched, “Children who talk too much are not likable.”

He walked to the pool in a loose footstep, bent over to wash his hands and face amidst the sound of splashing water.

Huang Dan stared at the man’s back, the lines between his eyebrows were getting deeper and deeper, and they couldn’t disappear no matter what.

When digging the soil bump just now, was this man in the hut, or was he watching from a corner? He can be sure that the other party came earlier than himself.

Qi Feng suddenly turned his head.

Huang Dan didn’t hide, and met the man’s sharp gaze without changing his expression.

The corners of Qi Feng’s lips pressed down a little, as if he was angry, and he pulled the corners of his lips after a while, with a cold arc, “Little thing.”

Huang Dan didn’t hear clearly, but he could see the three words from the shape of the man’s mouth. His brows moved, and he left without saying a word.

The sound of water behind him stopped, and footsteps sounded.

Huang Dan didn’t care about it, he took out a piece of chewing gum in his pocket, peeled it off and stuffed it in his mouth, and went back to the small shop the same way, his feet were covered with mud and he didn’t rub it.

Qi Feng went in behind and bought some things.

Huang Dan counted one by one, “Green tea bottle is two and half yuan, two bottles are five yuan, Orion cake is four yuan, pens are one yuan, three packs of melon seeds are three yuan, bread is one yuan, you took ten……”

Qi Feng waited for him to finish speaking, then turned his head to look at the chewing gum beside him, “How did you sell it?”

Huang Dan said, “Two for Lujian, three for Yida.”

Qi Feng rubbed his chin, “Why is Yida one yuan more expensive? It tastes better when you eat it?”

Huang Dan pulled a red plastic bag from behind and put all those things in, “The price of the purchase is different.”

Qi Feng supported the counter with one hand, “You are eating Yida, right?”

Huang Dan wanted to remind the man that the glass can’t hold up, but the man ignored him, “Well, it’s Yida.”

Qi Feng said disgustedly, “It smells really bad, I want a box of Lu jian.”

Huang Dan，“……”

There is an extra box of Lu jian in the bag.

Qi Feng paid the money and walked away with the bag and came back again, throwing two bottle caps on the counter.

Huang Dan flipped the bottle cap, and flipped the other one too, which said to have another bottle, “You can go to the display cabinet and get it yourself.”

Qi Feng lifted the things in his hand, one side was the bag and the other side was the green tea. What he did meant that he couldn’t move his hands.

Huang Dan took two bottles and handed them over.

Qi Feng smiled and said, “Xiao Didi, I used the money for two bottles of green tea to take away four bottles. You seem very unhappy.”

Huang Dan shook his head, “The prize for this bottle cap can be exchanged, it’s not from our store.”

Qi Feng has an understanding look, “Oh, that’s it.”

“Then why do you look unhappy?” He was still laughing, but his eyes were cold, “Let me guess, is there something worse than feces in your brain, so it stinks you to death? “

Huang Dan didn’t want to respond anymore.

Qi Feng snorted and walked away with his things. When he reached the door, he laughed, “Xiao Didi, don’t let Shushu find out about your dirty thoughts, otherwise Shushu will make you remember better.”

Huang Dan frowned.

Dirty mind? What is it? Does he have it?

Zhang Yao came out and asked, “What’s wrong with Qi dage? What were you talking about? I heard his laughter was a little creepy.”

Huang Dan said, “It’s menopause.”

Zhang Yao，“……”

Because Zhang Yao came, there were a few more dishes on the table than usual.

Zhang Yao likes to eat sauced duck. The taste of the sauced duck in J City is different from that of other places. She likes the sauced duck here the most. She buys it every time she comes here and brings it back to college to eat.

Huang Dan ate a small piece, and it was too spicy.

Seeing that Zhang Yao was eating calmly, he couldn’t help admiring her.

This sauced duck is much spicier than Fuqi Feipian.

Mother Zhang drinks every meal, whether she drinks medicinal wine, beer or white wine, half depends on the season, and half depends on her mood. In the summer, she opened a bottle of beer and smacked her lips comfortably after taking a sip.

“Zhicheng, Xiaoyao, take whatever you two want to drink.”

Huang Dan ate the lettuce, “I won’t drink it.”

Zhang Yao went to get a cup of premium iced yogurt, and a cup for Father Zhang, “Dad, are you going fishing this afternoon?”

Father Zhang ate the food, “The sun is so hot, it’s not easy to fish, let’s see later.”

Huang Dan asked in a casual tone, “Mom and Dad, have you checked everything at home carefully? Did you lose anything else besides cash and cigarettes the night before?”

Father Zhang’s hands resting on the edge of the plate, picked up a chopstick of radish and roasted meat into the bowl, “You have asked several times, didn’t your dad tell you earlier? You still don’t know if something else is missing? “

Huang Dan said, “I’m worried that you guys forgot……”

Father Zhang glared and scolded, “Eat!”

Huang Dan didn’t say much anymore, he didn’t expect Father Zhang to say anything, he just wanted to observe the change of the other party’s expression, and his goal was achieved.

Mother Zhang said, “Mom will take a look when I have time.”

Huang Dan, “Umm.”

Zhang Yao said, “Look carefully, I will be here for the next two days, and look with you.”

The atmosphere on the table eased, and Father Zhang didn’t say a word.

After lunch, Huang Dan went to the toilet, and heard Mother Zhang’s voice outside. She was on the phone, and it seemed to be the original owner’s aunt.

Mother Zhang first asked homely things like “Have you had lunch?” and “Are you busy recently?”

Huang Dan came out after using the toilet and saw Mother Zhang washing the dishes. Her face looked good because she had borrowed money.

Although he doesn’t know how much, the family should be able to breathe.

After three o’clock, Father Zhang went to the fishing tackle shop next door to buy a pack of earthworms, mixed them with fish ingredients, and went fishing. Within an hour, he called Huang Dan and told him to take the fish back.

Huang Dan was lying on the bed taking a nap, and when he finally fell asleep, he was woken up by the phone. He threw the phone on the bed and yawned a few times.

The walls and floor upstairs are all cement, like dense acne, rough to the touch.

Huang Dan got up from the bed, scooped water from the bucket beside the wooden table into the basin, put his face in it, and the sleepy bug ran away screaming when it touched the cool water.

After regaining consciousness a lot, Huang Dan poured water on the concrete floor, and the ground immediately made a series of hissing noises. He was a little surprised at first, but now he is used to it.

Huang Dan drove to the river, and saw Father Zhang squatting and smoking, with three sets of fishing rods in front of him.

Father Zhang picked up the fish basket and caught a herring that weighed two to three catties, “Where’s the bag? Bring it here.”

Huang Dan took out the black plastic bag from his pocket, the herring was thrown in, and it jumped up and wanted to get out, the water splashed into his eyes, he reached out and rubbed it, “Dad, is there any more?”

“No.”

Father Zhang put the fish basket back into the water, washed his hands and said, “Don’t shout when you go back, and tell your mother too.”

Huang Dan said, “I know.”

There are several leaders in the company who like to take advantage of it. The original owner’s mother’s vegetables are all directly taken away without even asking. They say it’s fresh, and they can’t buy it even if they have money.

If any leader saw this fish, even if he didn’t ask to take it, he would stay for dinner.

The original owner’s father wants to save face, and in order to build a good relationship, he will definitely invite people to his table with a smile, and entertain them with good wine and food.

Huang Dan carried the bag and walked towards the parking lot. He looked around the place as he walked. There was not a single willow tree, only sparse grass. It was a good place for fishing, and not to worry about being caught by a tree fork while throwing the hook casually.

Just when Huang Dan was about to look away, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, it was Qi Feng.

After thinking for a moment, Huang Dan put the herring into the car, opened the bag to let it breathe, and walked towards the man.
