Zhao Jianjun walked through the narrow alley. The ground was full of mud and garbage. No matter how careful he was, there were still stains on his trouser legs.

I can smell a strange smell at the tip of my nose, flies are flying around the garbage pile in the corner, and huge rats are strutting along the road, completely unafraid of people.

Zhao Jianjun sighed secretly and came to the door of a dilapidated low house.

Sitting at the door was a man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face, gluing a matchbox with trembling hands.

Zhao Jianjun stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, is this Shi Hai's family?"

"What did you say?" Auntie shouted in a strong local accent, but Zhao Jianjun understood it clearly.

Zhao Jianjun raised his voice: "Shi Hai, is this Shi Hai's house?"

The old lady waved her hand: "Shi Hai, he's not at home." "

Where did he go?"

"Ah?"

Zhao Jianjun continued to raise his voice, but this time They couldn't communicate as smoothly as before, and each other couldn't understand what the other was saying.

At this time, a three or four-year-old child poked his head out of the house. The weather was still cool, but he was very thin and his clothes were in tatters.

Zhao Jianjun couldn't tell how he felt when he saw the child's appearance.

"Kid, where is your father?"

The child looked at him with wide eyes, his face was dirty, and he said nothing.

"Don't ask, the old lady here has bad ears, and the little kids can't speak either." The

door next door opened, and a woman in her forties came out.

The woman looked him up and down. Zhao Jianjun was wearing glasses and had a pen on his chest pocket. He looked like a cadre.

She didn't understand why such a person knew Shi Hai, but she kindly said:

"Are you looking for Shi Hai? He took his eldest daughter out to pick up garbage and would not come back until evening. Their family is unlucky enough. He My hand is gone, and my wife took away all the money in the family and ran away with other men, leaving the old, the young, and the young crippled."

Zhao Jianjun looked at his watch, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, a lot of Everyone has already started cooking.

"Sister, thank you."

"Why are you looking for Shi Hai? Looking at you, it doesn't look like you know Shi Hai."

Zhao Jianjun pushed up his glasses, laughed dryly and said nothing.

The woman didn't care, "It can't be that he owes you money, right? Then I advise you to go back quickly. This family is so poor that they can only pick up rotten vegetable leaves to eat. Unless you sell the little boy, you won't get it at all. Get the money."

Zhao Jianjun was a little unhappy when he heard this, "This lesbian, how can you say such things in front of your children? This is illegal."

"What a nerd." The woman sneered and went back to her room. .

Near seven o'clock, Shi Hai finally came back with a little girl about eight years old.

He was holding a bag in his hand, which was full of rotten vegetable leaves.
