We arrived at the village on the address before dark.

The tea garden is full of vitality against the setting sun. The busy tea collectors in the tea garden want to pick more tea in the last light time. After all, the tea picking time is very short. Tomorrow, the tea may be old.

Pockmarked Li looked out of the window and said, "brother Zhang, there seems to be more than one tea garden here. Let's go down and inquire."

"Don't worry." I drove into the village and stopped steadily: "you take care of Laogang in the car, I'll go down and have a look."

Pockmarked Li, with a bitter face, asked me to be in the car again? He sleeps like a dead pig. What can he take care of? Brother Zhang, let me go down to explore the road with you. I'm suffocating in the car. "

I sighed and nodded in vain.

Li Mazi and I walked around the village for half a turn, and finally found a dirty warehouse. A big man with bare arms sat under a tree and played with his mobile phone.

I went up with Pockmarked Li and asked, "elder brother..."

Before I could speak, the big man pointed impatiently at the room and said, "go in and get it yourself, and come out to calculate."

"No, you misunderstood. We don't buy anything." I said politely.

In his busy schedule, the big man looked up at me and said, "don't buy anything? What are you doing here without shopping? What about you

"How do you speak?" said Pockmarked Li

I hurriedly pressed Pockmarked Li's shoulder: "elder brother, I want to ask you something."

Han continued to play with his mobile phone: "I'm dumb, I can't speak."

"Don't you speak now?" cried Pockmarked Li

"I'd like to have my mouth on my face." The big man looked at Pockmarked Li discontentedly: "you are a dead pockmarked, are you looking for a beating? Do you believe that I can shout a voice and the people who come out of the village beat you? Make sure you don't even know your mother. "

This is not a lie. In such a remote mountain village, the people are always strong and the internal unity is extremely strong. It is not easy for the people of the public security bureau to work here.

Pockmarked Li dare not say any more.

After thinking about it, I snatched a hundred yuan from pocketbook Li and handed it to big man: "big brother......"

"Lying trough, you're not finished..." The big man didn't scold me. He stared at the money in my hand and said, "what do you mean?"

"Ask you something. If you can help me, the money will be yours." I said.

The big man snatched the money into his hand and carefully looked at the sunset. After he was sure that it was real money, the smile on his face was warm: "big brother, you ask! I'm not talking to you. There's no one in this village I don't know. There's nothing I don't know. I'm sure I can help you. You're asking the right person. "

Pockmarked Li left his mouth and a disdainful look.

"Elder brother, I heard that there is a tea planting base in our village?" I asked.

The big man nodded: "there are several tea bases in our village. Which one are you asking?"

"The boss's surname is song." I said.

"He is!" "Big man suddenly realized ground to say:" he already jumped a building to commit suicide

Speaking of this, he deliberately lowered his voice: "it's said that for this reason, the village is making a lot of noise. The tortoise and grandson owe us a lot of money. Now he's gone to enjoy his happiness with one foot, but he's pitching the old Liu. "

"Who is Liu tou?" I immediately became alert. Was it the old farmer who gave the old song a word of clock in Mrs. Chen's mouth?

"Old Liu Tou is the partner of boss song. He is also responsible for that kind of tea base. At the beginning, Liu tou was responsible for helping to take care of the tea garden and picking in season. It's three or two days' work to collect tea. If it's delayed for a long time, the tea will be sold out of price. Old Liu tou's family has few people, so they can only hire people. They don't spend money these days? Old Liu is still waiting for boss song to pay people to settle their wages. Now, as soon as boss song is gone, the workers run to the door of old Liu's house and make trouble, forcing him to hang. " The more he said it, the more excited he was.

"What's the relationship between boss song and old Liu?" I asked in a low voice.

The big man thought for a moment: "it seems that it's not bad. I heard that the little third son of Liu's family found a treasure under the well and bought it for boss song. Everyone said that Lao liutou was cheated. It must be more expensive to sell that thing in the market than boss song. Lao liutou also said that boss song was kind to him and would rather suffer some losses. It's good. I've suffered a lot... "

I exchanged a look with Pockmarked Li.

This so-called baby should be a one word clock.

"That baby, is it a bell?" asked Pockmarked Li

"How do you know?" The big man looked at Pockmarked Li's eyes and became alert. He looked at us several times: "what are you doing?"

I have no choice but to bluff: "we are two journalists of the newspaper office. When we heard about this, we felt that there was news to dig, so we came here to find some materials."

"Ah!" That's why the big man put his heart down.

We asked him about the specific location of the old Liu's family. Before it was dark, we quickly found the old Liu's family according to the Han's instructions.Several dilapidated mud and tile houses were lit with dim lights, and a buffalo in the yard was screaming hungry.

Pockmarked Li peered a few times: "it's probably here."

We went into the messy yard and shouted, "is this uncle Liu's home?"

"Who do you want?" the old man replied dully

Li Mazi and I entered the room boldly. There was a table in the middle of the dirty and messy room, on which lay green onions and raw sauce. Beside the table sat an old man, who was still strong and drinking dried vegetables. He gave us a drunken look: "who are you looking for?"

"Uncle Liu, we are reporters of the newspaper. I heard that your third son found a baby some time ago and wanted to interview you." Pockmarked Li copied the words I used to deceive the big man intact.

Lao Liu frowned and scolded angrily, "roll, roll, no one will give you an interview, roll out for me."

Pockmarked Li didn't expect to be treated like this and looked at me at a loss.

I sat down on the opposite side of Liu's head and calmly put the plastic bag on the table: "do you recognize this?"

Old Liu glanced uneasily.

I gently opened the plastic bag to reveal the one word clock inside.

The clock is ticking forward.

Pockmarked Li was startled and said, "brother Zhangjia, it How does it start to turn again? "

Old Liu was shocked: "here Why is this in your hands? Who are you? "

"It doesn't really matter who I am." I sneer: "this one word clock is your little three son found?"? Is the junior in? "

Old Liu head listen to me to mention small three son, eye circle a red: "no, person already had no."

I was stunned: "when is it going to happen?"

"A few months ago, it got stuck in the mud." Liu tou dries the liquor in his glass: "he found this baby. He has been counting on it to make money. Knowing that I sold it to boss song at a low price, he lost his temper with me..."

Kill Xiao San's mire and the black mud of Lao song and Chen Sao.

Is there any connection between them?

"Do you know where Xiao San Zi found the one character clock?" I didn't dare to delay any more and asked the most confused questions directly.
