Chapter 73 Whereabouts
"Wang... Wang Wang..."

Back to the place where he grew up, Rhubarb seemed a little excited. After running around the house, he came to Qin Feng's side with drooping ears, as if he also felt that something was missing.

After saying goodbye to the Liu family, Qin Feng came to this place where he and his sister lived for five years.

Looking at the dilapidated bungalow, Qin Feng felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He heard from Ma Si that since the murder case happened here, none of the later scavengers dared to live in it.

The two sides of the railway track were covered with weeds as high as a person, and it became more and more desolate. The shepherds that I used to see in the past disappeared. Although it was noon, it gave people a gloomy feeling.

Qin Feng stood in front of the house for a long time. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, a train roared past. I don't know if it was because of the homicide that year, the water filling points here were all abandoned.

"Da Huang, where do you think Xiao Jia will go?"

Qin Feng's voice was a bit bitter, he picked up the backpack placed by his feet, and said to himself: "Rhubarb, let's go, even if I use my feet to measure, I will finish this railway!"

In the setting sun, next to the winding railroad tracks, one person and one dog were pulled out of two long backs. The boy with the travel bag was still talking to the big yellow dog from time to time, and occasionally got a "bark" Two responses.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Half a month later, the dusty Qin Feng came to a freight yard [-] kilometers away from Jintian City.

The Tianjin-Tianjin Freight Station is the largest transit freight yard for trains from Beijing to other places. Every day, hundreds of freight cars are dispatched and replaced here before heading to all parts of the country.

"Jin Tian, ​​I wonder if I can get news about my sister."

Qin Feng, who was walking all the way along the railway track, returned to the image of four or five years ago. Although the clothes on his body were not so worn out, they became dirty, and even the travel bag behind him was covered with dust. .

Qin Feng's young face was full of exhaustion, and his beard, which looked a little soft in the past, has become dark and hard, making his age seem to be several years older out of thin air.

The truck departed from Cangzhou, but first turned into Quancheng, and then returned to Tianjin from Quancheng. The route was very complicated, and Qin Feng had to travel a lot.

Measuring hundreds of kilometers with his feet, Qin Feng didn't miss any train stops and places where there were people along the way, but to his disappointment, he still didn't get any news about his sister.

"Rhubarb, eat something..."

Qin Feng sat on a stone step beside the track, and took out a plastic bag from his backpack, which contained five or six steamed buns and two catties of cooked beef. During the years he was in prison, Rhubarb's mouth was covered by Liu The family feeds it, and every meal is full of meat and joy.

After feeding rhubarb with beef in three steamed buns, Qin Feng gobbled up the remaining two. Now that he is growing his body, he will not treat himself badly.

Taking out an enamel jar, Qin Feng poured the last bit of water in the kettle to Rhubarb. He stood up and looked around. There are usually small factories or shops on both sides of a warehouse like this.

"Rhubarb, don't run around!"

Touching Rhubarb who was drinking water, Qin Feng walked to a compound tens of meters away, but as soon as he turned around, Rhubarb picked up the jar in his mouth and followed behind him.

"Is anyone there?" When he came to the concierge, Qin Feng yelled loudly. He remembered that he had been to this warehouse a few years ago, but the factory seemed to be closed at that time.

"Who?"

Following the words, an old man in his 60s walked out of the concierge, glanced at Qin Feng outside the door, frowned, and said angrily: "Beggars, hurry up, Bai Chang is such a big man, what are you doing?" Can't eat enough?"

In the 90s, there was a famous team called "Blind Flow", literally meaning people who flowed blindly from the countryside into the city.

Blind flow can be traced back to the national famine in the late 50s. At that time, almost all people with non-urban household registration had the experience of begging.

Later, anyone without urban household registration was included in this ranks, and some beggars were the main force in the army of blind people, because their mobility fit the characteristics of blind people.

The author does not discriminate against this group of people, but it is undeniable that this mobility has spawned many crimes, not to mention petty theft, and many vicious wounding cases have also occurred among this group.

So at the end of the 90s, many people would subconsciously take some precautions whenever they saw those homeless people picking up rags.

This small factory had lost some steel some time ago, so the old man at the gate naturally didn't have a good look at Qin Feng. It's not bad to drive people away without a broom.

"Master, I'm not begging for food."

Although he brought his sister to have a meal for a while at first, Qin Feng did not agree with this statement. After correcting the old man's address seriously, Qin Feng took out a pack of cigarettes, offered one to the old man, and said: "Master, I'm really not begging for food. I passed by you and wanted to beg for some water."

"Hey, Hongta Mountain? Where did you steal it from?"

Seeing the cigarette in Qin Feng's hand, the old gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, but then his face was full of anger, and he reached out to pick up the big broom at the door, as if he was about to hit someone.

"Wang..."

Just as the old man swung the broom, Rhubarb jumped out from behind Qin Feng and bit the broom. The old man threw down the broom in fright and took several steps back.

"Rhubarb, come back."

Qin Feng called rhubarb, threw the bag of Hongtashan over casually, and said with a wry smile: "Master, mine is not a beggar, and it's fine if I don't give you saliva. Can I ask you something?"

"Boy, why don't you dress like this for a beggar?"

In 200, a pack of Hongtashan was also sold for nine yuan, but the old man's monthly salary as a janitor was only more than [-] yuan, and he usually smoked a pack of Daqianmen for a few cents.

Seeing that Qin Feng threw a whole pack of cigarettes over without hesitation, coupled with Qin Feng's Tianjin accent, the old man believed Qin Feng's words to a certain extent.

"Master, I came all the way from Cangzhou, can this body be clean?"

Qin Feng stuffed the cigarette he was holding just now into the old man's hand, then took out a disposable lighter, helped the old man light the fire, and said: "Master, let's drink some water first, it's hot in this day Dead man..."

Since entering the 90s, this summer has come earlier every year.

It's only May at this moment, and the sun is already very hot, especially when walking on the gravel ground beside the railway tracks, the ground can emit a burst of heat. After eating cooked beef buns, Qin Feng's throat is even more smoky .

"Okay, come in, don't let the dog in, how dirty do you think it is?"

The old man enjoyed Qin Feng's all-round service very much. After taking a puff of cigarette beautifully, his expression eased a lot, and he continued: "There is a reservoir over there, which is used for cleaning the car. Go back and wash your dog. It smells great."

"Rhubarb, go, wash yourself."

Qin Feng yelled at Rhubarb, turned around and took a cold tea mug handed by the old man. After drinking it in one breath, he said with a wry smile: "I don't even have any water to drink, so I don't have the time to bathe him. ?”

"Young man, tell me, how did you make it look like this?"

For the sake of Bao Hongta Mountain, after Qin Feng finished drinking the water, the old man handed over a wet towel and said, "Where did you come from? What are you doing here from Cangzhou?"

Generally, most of the people who come to this freight yard are migrant workers who want to go home to save travel expenses, or blind people who want to change cities to make a living, but it is rare for people like Qin Feng to come all the way with a big dog.

"Master, it's like this."

Qin Feng has long said that along the way, "my sister and I used to play on the railway, once my sister climbed onto a flatbed car, who knew that the train started suddenly, my sister couldn't get off, I... I've been looking for this for years..."

Qin Feng didn't know how many times he repeated these words, but every time he finished speaking, the other party's reaction would always disappoint him, and this time Qin Feng didn't have too much hope.

However, after listening to Qin Feng's words, the old man hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your sister? How old is the child? There are many homeless children in the warehouse every year. If you want me to tell you, it's really hard to say... ..."

"My sister was eight or nine years old four years ago. Her skin was very white, her eyes were big, and she smiled like a crescent moon. By the way, she had a doll's head at that time."

Hearing the old man's words, Qin Feng's eyes lit up suddenly, he grabbed the old man's arm, and said anxiously: "Master, you... have you seen my sister?"
