Arty Records

On the morning of the ninth day of the ninth day, Hong Xinyao followed Lao Lin, Xiao Liu, the mayor's secretary, and two local escorts into the forest park to hunt.It was the first time that he came into such close contact with the abundant snow and the dense forest. Young Master Hong was excited, ran a few steps, got stuck in the snow and rolled.

Several people are very happy.The crisp gunshots pierced the silence and startled a flock of birds.

Hong Xinyao has always insisted on shooting training. Although he was not used to the shotgun for the first time, he quickly got used to it.It's a pity that there are not many prey that can be hunted in winter, and the secretary of the mayor who accompanied him kept trying to persuade Hong Shao to come to play again in summer.

Lao Lin laughed and said, "Actually, hunting in winter doesn't necessarily rely on guns unless you encounter wolves and black blind men." During the conversation, they talked about the skills of digging traps and setting traps in the snow, and several people listened with great interest.

The two local companions also talked about the interesting stories about bird hunting in the past.

"If you want me to say, the most delicious thing in winter is to count roasted birds, and the most fun in winter is to count bird hunting..."

Lao Lin answered: "It's fun, but it saves trouble. It's much easier to hit one sack with a net than to shoot one by one with a gun."

Hong Xinyao had never heard of catching birds with sacks of sacks, and was very surprised.

The man patiently explained to him: "A big net is hung at one end of the forest, and people are yelling at the other end, and the birds are so frightened that they jump at this end. No matter how many, they are all hung on the net and cannot escape."

Young Master Hong was still puzzled: "Why can't I get out?"

"Birds are fat and stupid in winter. When they are suddenly frightened, they know to pierce forward. The mesh is smaller than the body of the bird. If the head goes in, the body is stuck in the middle? At this time, you just go up and pick them one by one and put them in the bag. A few sacks are not uncommon, they are all alive, and the sacks are full of twittering..."

Another person said: "Ten years ago it was okay, but now it's not such a good thing."

Several people talked lively, and Hong Xinyao felt a little uncomfortable listening.I thought it might be because I went to the nerd's hometown, and I always felt that the nerd must be uncomfortable if he heard about this kind of thing.

I shot a few birds, two rabbits, a pheasant, and finally shot a red deer.Young Master Hong was slandering that hunting in this forest was too easy, and then he thought that most of the prey were kept inside, and maybe they were thrown out to be beaten for the sake of guests.Immediately lost interest.

Lunch is eaten at the game restaurant next to the park, which is freshly cooked.I called once before dinner, but it didn't work, so I thought about calling after dinner.Unexpectedly, the fresh deer blood and venison were drunk with spirits, except for the driver, the rest of the people actually ate more and more vigorously.After eating, Young Master Hong, Lao Lin, and the mayor's secretary exchanged cups and exchanged cups to call each other brothers and sisters.

This meal of wine and meat lasted for more than two hours, and the three well-tested field elites were a little drunk.Go back to the hotel and lie down directly.When Hong Xinyao woke up from sleep, Mimi got up, thinking that the curtains were drawn, so the light in the room was dim.Stretching out his hand to pull it away, the light outside the window was dimmed, and it was already dark.

He froze for a moment, then suddenly let out a strange cry, turned on the light, and looked for his phone impatiently.

"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been switched off."

Reluctantly dialed and dialed again, the sweet female voice remained calm.He rushed to the service desk: "Is anyone looking for me? Surnamed Fang, in his 20s, so tall, so thin..."

The waitress recognized him as a distinguished guest and smiled sweetly: "Sorry, no."

"Really do not have?"

The waiter looked at the shift record again: "No really, there are only two female customers this afternoon."

Heart sank to the bottom, Hong Xinyao was so annoyed that he raised his hand and punched the service desk hard.The waiter was taken aback, but fortunately the marble table top was solid, and he felt relieved when he saw the guest walking away resentfully.

Hong Xinyao was sitting in the lobby of the hotel, looking at his watch, it was less than eight o'clock.Could it be that we were delayed on the road and haven't arrived yet?The mobile phone dials every 5 minutes, always saying "I'm sorry, the number you dialed is turned off".Looking through the call records again, the only missed call was from the second sister.I sent back a message to my second sister, and waited restlessly in the lobby.

Wait until 08:30, really can not wait.I thought that if the nerd booked a rental car, as long as it wasn't an illegal car, there must be a case for investigation.Find the number of the mayor's secretary: "Brother Qi, it's me. Please do me a favor and find the Ahla taxi company."

Secretary Qi was thinking about what's the matter with Young Master Hong, when he heard this sentence, he was overjoyed: "Young Master Hong, there is also a taxi company in Ahla? Why didn't I know?"

Hong Xinyao was not in the mood to joke with him: "That's right, I have a friend who made an appointment to take a taxi from Ahla, but he should have arrived but he didn't. Can Brother Lao Qi check it out?"

But the other side didn't immediately agree: "Can I ask who is Hong Shao's friend?"

"College classmate, visiting relatives from Beijing."

"There are no taxis in Ahera. They should be called from this side. It's a trivial matter. Let me ask for you."

After a while, a call came: "Young Master Hong, there is no car to go to Ahla today, did your friend call a private car?"

With Fang Sishen's habits, it is impossible to find a black car when there is a rental car.Knowing that it was too impolite, Hong Xinyao couldn't help but said: "Brother Qi, have you checked everything? Is there really no car to go to Ahla?"

"I've asked you all. It's a big business to go to Ahla. It's almost a day to go back and forth. I don't use a meter. The market commission is used. I have to report to the boss when I come back. This is a rule and it can't be missed." Secretary Qi explained. Very good.

Hong Xinyao's heart tightened, and he thought of something in a hurry: "Brother Qi, please ask again, did you take any passengers from here to Ahla on the seventh day of the lunar new year?"

After a while, a reply came: "There is indeed one, just one. Don't worry, I'll ask the driver to find you at the hotel and explain clearly in person."

However, for twenty minutes or so, Hong Xinyao waited with smoke in his heart.Seeing the door being pushed open, Huo Di stood up from the sofa.

Three people came in, one was Secretary Qi, the other was the owner of a dog-legged taxi company, and the third was the driver who took Fang Sishen to Ahla on Chu Qi.

"This... um, hello, hello. That's right, it's me, sending a guest to Ahla on the seventh day of the Chu... Yes, I'm not very old, and I'm from Beijing. I also introduced him to live in my cousin What about home... Ah, today? I was supposed to pick him up today, but the child was not feeling well this morning, so he ran to the hospital, and it was a bit late, so he just happened to receive a call from him, saying that he had a free ride, so he didn't need to go... That, I know, that's all..."

The young man in front of him was obviously young, but his somber expression made it easy for people not to speak out.The driver guessed and couldn't figure out where the big shot was, so he asked the boss to bring him over to answer.

"Master, please tell me where that guest went and what he did, and don't miss anything."

"Well, I went to the forest management office to find someone first, but I couldn't find it, so I went to Manggan Road..." The process was originally very simple, and the driver was afraid that the other party would be dissatisfied. I have said all about the pancakes, pickles, and porridge, and finally returned to the phone call this morning.

After Hong Xinyao listened, he took out a big head of state from his wallet: "Thank you for making a special trip, Master Hardworking."

The driver felt a little sorry: "This...too polite, I didn't help you at all." Turning around and walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and ran back, "That's right! That call this morning..."

Hong Xinyao asked anxiously, "What's wrong with that phone call?"

"The sound...it doesn't sound too similar. I saw that the number was right, so I didn't think much about it. I thought he had a cold..."

"real?!"

The driver was frightened by Hong Xinyao's cannibalistic eyes, and couldn't help but start to shrink back: "Yes...it's not very similar...but at that time I was worried about the child, my mind was a little messed up, so I can't say it well..."

Hong Xinyao stared at him for a while: "Thank you, you can go."

After the driver and the boss had left, Secretary Qi said, "Young Master Hong, Ahela is a place the size of a palm. Your friend came from afar, so no one would know about it, let alone he found a place to stay. Maybe The mobile phone is out of order, maybe there is a temporary delay, don't worry, I'll make a call for you." Saying that, he got up and walked to the other side of the hall.

Hong Xinyao also wanted to call Du Huanxin alone: ​​"Brother Qi, I'll go in first and I'll be out right away."

He knocked on the room of Lao Lin and Xiao Liu next door, saying that he wanted to go to Ahla overnight to find someone.Those two were frightened by him, Xiao Liu just shook his head, and Lao Lin said earnestly: "Young Master Hong, it's really not that we don't want to accompany you. Ahla is remote and there are not so wide roads. In some areas, when it comes to this season, there are people on both sides. It's white, and it looks the same everywhere. If it goes a little crooked, it's not certain that it will fall into a ditch or a pit. Even the local drivers who are familiar with running don't dare to leave in the middle of the night. Listen to my brother's advice, Huh? Let’s go early tomorrow morning, at dawn?”

Seeing that Young Master Hong was unmoved, Lao Lin put down a sentence: "Well, you call Du Chu, and if he says go, let's go, even if we fall into the ice hole of the Yeligunie River, we will admit it."

This was what Hong Xinyao was waiting for, and he immediately called his brother-in-law.After listening to the cause and effect, Du Huanxin said slowly, "Give the phone to Lao Lin."

"Old Lin, take care tonight. In the morning, tie this kid back to Tu'an." The voice was so loud that Hong Xinyao could hear it clearly even if he was next to him without hands-free.

He snatched the phone: "Brother-in-law, listen to me..."

"What did you say? You said you weren't afraid of death and drove down Jingmian Road in the middle of the night? What do you want your sister to kill me with a single shot? Do you believe that Lao Lin can knock you unconscious with one punch and bring you back?"

"Brother-in-law, that classmate of mine is the most stable person. There is no big problem and it is impossible to let me go. To tell you the truth, he has helped me a lot. I have already recognized him as a brother. Now he may be in trouble, you don't let him If I go looking for it, I will never feel at ease in this life. Well, I promise you, I won’t leave tonight, and if there is no news tomorrow morning, I will climb over even if I crawl!”

"Hey, you're quite righteous..." Du Huanxin heard that his brother-in-law was not serious, thought for a moment, and asked, "Who will play with you over there?"

"Secretary Qi."

"Well, I'll talk to him later and ask Ahla to cooperate with you. If you want to go, go, and go out for another day tomorrow, and you must come back the day after tomorrow at the latest." Before hanging up the phone, Du Huanxin snorted again, "It's not a girl. classmate?"

Hong Xinyao got angry: "When did I say yes?" He put down the phone, feeling depressed.With all kinds of objective and subjective restrictions in front of him, Young Master Hong rarely felt the anxiety and helplessness of having more than enough energy.Remembering that Secretary Qi was still hanging out in the hall, he took Lao Lin and Xiao Liu out.

Secretary Qi was talking on the phone when he saw him, nodded and hung up.Just as he was about to sit down and speak, the bell rang, and it was Du Huanxin who called this time.

"Ah, Director Du! Hello, hello! Yes, yes... I just found out about this. I have already notified them... No problem, no problem, don't worry, it will be done, it will be done!"

Putting down the phone, the creases on Secretary Qi's face suddenly changed direction, squeezed out an apologetic face, and said to Hong Xinyao: "Young Master Hong, I just contacted Ahla and said that there was indeed a young man who went to the Forest Management Office yesterday. After inquiring about the news, they left soon. They didn’t know where they went after that. You know, the place is remote, and everyone is asleep at this point, so I don’t want to disturb the people. The boss said everything—they had a meeting in the city and just returned this afternoon—tomorrow I will do my best to help you find someone.”

Only then did Hong Xinyao notice that it was past ten o'clock in the evening.Before Secretary Qi left, he said again: "I'm really sorry, I have other work tomorrow, so I can't accompany you..."

"What did Brother Qi say, it really caused you a lot of trouble. If you have the opportunity to go to Beijing or Hejin, you must remember to tell me..." The scene was full of words, and we reluctantly parted.

That night, Hong Xinyao didn't sleep well.For a while, I dreamed that the nerd fell and broke his leg in the snow. He was alone and had no one to rescue him. "I'm sorry, the phone broke, I forgot your number..." blushing, as if apologizing or acting like a baby...

No, when did nerds learn to act like a baby?The whole person froze and woke up.

It was gray outside the window, looking at the time, it was four o'clock in the morning.Leaning on the head of the bed and smacking, I felt that although acting like a baby is delusional, it is absolutely possible for a nerd who broke his phone and forgot the number to do it.If it weren't for the name of the hotel to be called "The First Guest House", he couldn't help but suspect that the man forgot the name of the hotel, so he couldn't find him.Thinking of it this way, I felt a lot more comfortable, closed my eyes, and played back and forth in my mind the blushing and smiling image.There was a burst of heat for no reason, I lifted the quilt and looked down, and set up a tent.

Young Master Hong looked at his wet right hand and the standing Optimus Prime, feeling a little strange while being satisfied.Thinking of yesterday's ton of deer blood and venison, I felt relieved.Covered the quilt, really fell asleep this time.

Fang Sishen didn't know the time, he could see strands of very thin white light from the cracks in the window, but it might just be pure snow light.The windows of bungalows in the forest area are double-glazed and a layer of wooden boards is used for heat preservation.When the plank is put down, the outside scene cannot be seen.He guessed that the night should be over soon, and his body was very tired. Perhaps it was the best choice for him to hurry up and sleep.

Today, no, it should be yesterday morning. After bidding farewell to Uncle Lian and coming out of the woods, it was not Lao Yutou who was waiting by the river, but the original owner of the horse sledge, the neighbor of Uncle Meng.

He said: "Uncle Yu got up early with a backache, so he asked me to replace him."

Although it felt wrong, there was nothing I could do.Sure enough, when he asked to go to Manggan Road, the other party didn't seem to hear him, whipped his whip non-stop, and rode his horse straight to Ahla.Traveling at high speed on the ice, if you don't pay attention, it will become a disaster.Fang Sishen gave up the idea of ​​arguing and pulling, grabbed the handle tightly, and waited to see what he wanted to do.

As soon as the sledge came to a stop, two strong men had been waiting, and immediately rushed up, one on each side, without any explanation, and carried him into a jeep.

Fang Sishen was very angry, and said angrily, "Who are you? Do you know what breaking the law is?"

A strong man took out a card and waved it in front of his eyes. It turned out to be a police officer's card: "Don't be nervous, I want to ask you a few words, please cooperate."

After a few minutes, the car stopped behind the small gray building.The two escorted Fang Sishen into a bungalow, without saying a word, they grabbed the backpack, looked inside and out carefully, found nothing, and came over to pull the clothes.

Fang Sishen took a step back: "Even if you are a policeman, you don't have the right to randomly search citizens."

One of the burly men looked up at him with a haughty look: "We suspect that you colluded with the fugitive criminal Lian Fuhai to disrupt social order and deliberately undermine social stability. Tell me, are you going to talk to Lian Fuhai? What did he give you?"

When Fang Sishen heard this, he understood.Suppressing his anger: "I just went into the forest to worship my parents, and I didn't see Lian Fuhai at all." Apart from myself and Uncle Lian, there is no third witness, so it's better to deny it to the end.

The second brawny man approached him: "Hand it over honestly. If you don't hand it over, you'll be searched."

"I'll say it again, I haven't seen Lian Fuhai. Isn't it just a body search? Be more careful." Fang Sishen said, stripping down to only a pair of underwear.It's not cold in the house, just like taking a shower in the water room in summer.He stood up straight, showing no embarrassment or fear.

The two of them had probably never seen anything like this before, so they couldn't help but take a second look, then turned around to check the clothes, not only the pockets, but even the lining of the down jacket had been pinched inch by inch, and they only had to take apart the duck feathers.

Looking at the situation, Fang Sishen seemed to believe that Uncle Lian had given him something.Suing for salary and beating the director were all old things three years ago, and they did not pose a substantial threat.What are they doing?

After he put on his clothes, the two of them sternly shouted: "Leniency is lenient for confession, and strictness is for resistance. You should reflect on yourself!" Picking up his mobile phone, they were about to go out.

"Give me back my phone. My family will be worried if I can't be reached."

"We suspect that criminals may contact you, and the mobile phone is temporarily kept by us."

"Damn it!" Fang Sishen punched the door, wanting to curse a few words.If Hong Xinyao couldn't wait for him today, he would definitely be anxious.What's worse, if you can't make it back on time tomorrow, what will Fang Duzhi do?He wasn't very worried about his own safety. The other party obviously had plans, and he would be afraid if he had plans. If he really held on to it——suddenly realized that his calmness might just be because he firmly believed that someone would not ignore him.
