Before returning to Chuhua City, Jiao's mother took her two children to the county seat.
Mr. Jiao and Mrs. Jiao lived in the county during this period of time, so they couldn't take a summer vacation to take their children out to play and visit these two old people, right
Zheng Tan, the house in the county seat, had been here last year on "November", so he was not unfamiliar. The two old people were very happy to see Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi. The old lady had prepared the dishes in advance and insisted on keeping the two children here for a few more days. Anyway, as long as you can catch up with the registration, what are you doing when you go back so early, you still have to stay at home when you go
In the summer, the high temperature continued during this period of time. Neither Jiao Yuan nor Xiaoyouzi wanted to go out. Moreover, unlike the two old people, Jiao Yuan was very afraid of the heat. He couldn't stand it, the wind was hot. It is also good to play chess with Xiaoyuzi in an air-conditioned room.
Zheng Tan was not in the house, he felt stuffy in the house, and suddenly he missed the feeling of running around in the countryside.
In the afternoon, the sun was a little off. After Zheng Tan went out, he would walk out along the shady place by the side of the road and swerve.
Because Zheng Tan's mental state was not very good during this period of time, Jiao's mother did not force Zheng Tan to stay at home. Watching Zheng Tan go out, Jiao's mother thought: go out for a walk, as long as the spirit recovers, the rest will be fine. Also let it go.
Zheng Tan looked at the scenery and buildings on the side of the road. He had an impression of this place. He visited this place once last year, but he didn't go too far.
There is a stall next to it that sells cold dishes, and there are quite a few people who come here to buy. When Zheng Tan passed by, he heard a few people talking at the cold vegetable stall, talking about the theft in a newly built community not far ahead.
Zheng Tan walked over to take a look. The community is not big, it has not been built for a long time, and the greening is not particularly good. However, there are quite a lot of people watching on this hot day. Some people who could not squeeze into the shade are holding umbrellas. Or discuss something around with a fan over his head.
But Zheng Tan didn't plan to go in. There were two people in police uniforms squatting in the shade next to the guard room, and Zheng Tan could hear their conversation.
"You've caught this guy. It's worthwhile to come here under the sun. Brother Huang, you said that now this thief can commit crimes in broad daylight. He's really brave." One of the young people in his early twenties said. .
"It's hot, no one goes out during the day, and they all stay at their own homes. This is a newly built community. The neighbors are not familiar with each other, and they don't know anyone. As long as there is no one at home, the thief can just pick the lock and go in. Move in. No one will tell when the big color TV comes out. But I didn't expect that family to bring back a dog last night." Another middle-aged man in a police uniform took a sip from a mineral water bottle and replied.
"I can't believe that such a big puppy is so destructive. When I entered the living room, I was shocked to see so much blood on the ground."
"I heard that it belonged to a friend of the owner, and asked them to help raise it temporarily. Now the family treats the dog as a hero and sent it to the pet hospital. If they couldn't get out of here, they would have to go to the pet hospital to guard it."
Listening to these two policemen, Zheng Tan can also know a general idea. When there were thieves in the compound, didn't that guy Niu Zhuangzhuang listen too? But today the hero dog who caught the thief was heard to be just a string of Peking Ba. Compared with the delicate Peking Ba in the courtyard, this one is simply domineering.
The topic of the two policemen gradually changed. Zheng Tan didn't intend to continue listening, and was about to leave and continue walking, but he didn't expect them to talk about Jiao's mother and their township. When they heard the words "selling daughter", Zheng Tan stopped and pricked up his ears.
"Hey, Brother Huang, didn't you work there before you were transferred? Do you know about this?"
"The one that gave birth to nine daughters in succession, and then sold it one after another? Of course I know."
Zheng Tan leaned over there again.
"Really?! No one cares?" The young man looked in disbelief.
"Control?" The middle-aged policeman wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I managed it. Unfortunately, one is willing to be beaten and the other is willing to be punished. If you insist on managing it, you will be beaten down."
"How can anyone be willing to be sold?!" The young man didn't believe it.
"It's better to be sold, and to get out of the cage, why don't you want to? For them, even if they are sold to others as daughters-in-law, it is better to be starved and beaten at home, and maybe they will have a good life. "The man sighed and shook his head, "Beating children is very common in the village, but selling children is different. I was also bloody at the beginning, and after listening to the gossip of the villagers, I ran away and took care of it. I thought at the time, as long as that When the child admitted that he was sold, I gave it my all and pursued it to the end! It's a pity they didn't say anything. Even when the trial came, they would still speak the same language, but I would be given some bad hats. Do you really think it's just a threat from a gangster like their father? A lot of people in the village don't take gangsters seriously at all, it's just helpless."
"What about the last one? I heard that the child is stubborn. I heard from my uncle that it is impossible for the child to be sold obediently."
"...That's probably because the buyers are different." The man thought of something, his face became solemn, and he said to the young policeman, "Don't ask about it in the future."
Seeing that the young man obviously didn't take it seriously, the middle-aged man said again, "I don't want you to be dragged to feed the shrimp when I received the news."
The young man's face changed, and then smiled: "Don't worry, I don't have so much time to spare."
They had done a murder case before. The victim was thrown into a wild pond, and when he was found, he had already been eaten by shrimp. There has been no progress in the investigation so far, and it has finally become a headless case.
The topic of the two changed quickly, and Zheng Tan didn't need to continue listening. Obviously, the middle-aged policeman didn't do it in vain all these years, and he probably knew something, but it seemed that they didn't want to mention it at all, and Zheng Tan also listened. If you don't hear what you want to hear, you have more doubts in your heart.
He thought it was strange before, why those people chose Xiao Jiu, and if they were sold to others as wives or in some other special industry, Xiao Jiu's age and personality were not suitable, but he was more than two years old. A sister went straight to her.
This doubt had no clue until Zheng Tan returned to Chuhua City.
As soon as they got home, Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi went to work on the two turtles. Zheng Tan followed Jiao's mother to the third floor to see the kitten. It was more than a month old. It was much stronger and bigger than the average kitten. It was also the case with Peanut Candy at the beginning.
The direct proof of the destructive power of these two cats is that the cloth sofa in the living room of Ermao has a layer of "hair", and there are many scratches of cat's claws on the tables, chairs and benches.
There were only two of them, and they were already tossed like this. When Zheng Tan entered the door, the two were jumping up and down, and when they saw Jiao's mother, they roared, not a little scared. But when I saw Zheng Tan, the two seemed to be somewhat close. As for Heimi, he was probably annoyed by these two. He was sleeping on an Ermao bed in the bedroom, and he didn't even bother to open his eyes to take a look. Only his ears moved, indicating that he was paying attention to the movements around him.
These two are also eating some meat with Ermao now, and they have a large appetite and strong stomach function. Listening to Er Mao, now Heimi is starting to dislike them.
"These two won't last long. Heimi has been going mad more and more recently." Er Mao sighed, and pointed to Ma Jiao to see the two cat dens. Nao Nao sometimes licks each other's hair. It seems that the relationship is good, but if you put it in a nest, it will be easy to fight. When you can't run, this phenomenon is not obvious. Now you can run and jump. increasingly obvious.
Zheng Tan was silent. It seems that it is because of the gene of "Sir".
"Where are you going to send these two?" Jiao Ma asked.
"It is estimated that we have to send them away." Er Mao was a little reluctant to give up. After all, seeing them grow so big day by day, at first he said that he would send them away, and his heart was not very comfortable.
Er Mao thought about giving it to some familiar people such as Wei Ling or Senior Brother Walnut, but who knew that the two of them would reject it as soon as they heard it. Being able to get along with cats does not mean that you are willing to keep cats.
Jiao's mother and Er Mao were sitting on the sofa and talking, while Zheng Tan watched the two cats fighting in front of him. Although he still looked immature, he looked fierce when the fight broke out, and Zheng Tan listened to it. The sound of their low growl, I found that these two are different from the cats in the pet center when they meow. Zheng Tan has also worked with many cats in the commercials and knows their meows, although the meows of different breeds may be different. There is a difference, but it won't be like these two. Zheng Tan doesn't quite remember what Peanut Candy was when he was a child. After all, Peanut Candy was "educated" by Li Yuanba in the pet center all day long, and Zheng Tan didn't have much contact with him. More, when the contact is more, the guy has grown to half the size.
In the past few days after returning home, Zheng Tan didn't run too far, at most he just walked around the campus. When the school started, Zheng Tan's life returned to the rhythm before the summer vacation.
On this day, Zheng Tan decided to go to the construction site and take a look at the blind old man. Is the old man still sticking to his "post" on a hot day
When passing by Zhong Yan's community, Zheng Tan glanced at it, and it seemed that there was no one in Zhong Yan's house. Zhong Yan, that kid soared into the sky this time in the college entrance examination. He was in the top three in the school and entered Jingcheng University, which made the rest of his family very popular.
Went to the construction site to look around, Zheng Tan didn't see anyone from Zhong Yan, he probably went to the capital to report a long time ago, and it seems that there will be one less acquaintance here in the future.
Just as he was about to leave, Zheng Tan heard someone calling his name, and the voice was familiar. Zheng Tan turned his head and looked over. A man in a blue vest and a hard hat ran over, the one who helped Zhong Yan called "Brother Ning" people.
"Hey, you've come here again." Brother Ning took out his trousers pocket, took out Zhang Fifty's, and said to Zheng Tan, "Let's go, I'll buy you something to eat, that kid Zhong Yan told me before he left. When you come over, treat you to a good meal and give me all the money."
Brother Ning said a few words in a row, and then suddenly remembered that he was only facing a cat, does he understand
However, seeing that the black cat in front of him did not leave, Brother Ning raised his feet and walked forward. After walking two steps, he turned around and saw that the cat was indeed following. He muttered in his heart: Does this cat really understand? As expected of a cat that top students know.
Zheng Tan followed and watched Brother Ning stop in front of a shop selling boxed lunches and picked out some meat and fish pieces.
After paying, Brother Ning turned around and was about to speak, but found the black cat squatting beside him swooped away, unable to shout.
Zheng Tan was really going to wait for Brother Ning to buy food just now. There was a bus stop not far away. When Zheng Tan accidentally swept over, he found that Santala driver was among the people who just got off the bus!
So, without worrying about the lunch box, Zheng Tan hurriedly followed.
