Chapter 61 Mother

Cadillac sent Qi Geer to the suburbs and stopped in front of the bird park.He asked the driver to store his luggage at the airport, and he stood alone in front of the rusty garden gate.

The huge net is like a second sky here, low, dirty, full of holes everywhere, but it still hangs over its head.Just like last time, the ticket booth at the entrance was empty, and the open iron fence was quiet, with an invisible boundary standing.There is no need for guards at all, and anyone who feels normal will not want to set foot in this desolate garden.

He walked lightly, walked to a hidden tree shade, and waited.In less than an hour, the taxi stopped at the door and walked all day long.Brother Qi knew that Cheng Tianlu would not give up, so he would definitely come to check what was in the garden in person.

He suddenly had an urge to call Cheng Tianlu and tell all the secrets he knew.As soon as he moved his body, Brother Qi stopped - he couldn't let Cheng Tianlu sink in.This matter has become so intertwined that there is no solution, and all he can foresee is more harm.

let him in.He would find nothing, nothing on the ground except birds that couldn't get out.

All day long, he stepped lightly on the leafy woodland so as not to make any noise.He knew that there was no need to be so cautious. There were no tourists and no staff in the huge park, and it was full of the loneliness of the barren mountains.What amazed him most was the variety of birds.There are beautiful birds all around, with plump coats that seem to have been fed and cared for.But where is the income from this broken garden?Who is raising all kinds of rare birds?

This place is by no means a wasteland, Cheng Tianlu even felt that this park was like a private garden, and he was invading the territory illegally.

Through the woods, he came to a dilapidated tin house.In the yard, peacocks are pacing around fearlessly, and sparrows and cuckoos are pecking at millet grains and bugs.Knocked on the door, no one answered.He pushed open the door, and the rancid smell filled his nostrils, with a disgusting fishy smell.Cheng Tianlu's nerves were tense, and he walked into the house lightly.

The room was as quiet as a solitary tomb, and the air was filled with smoke from burning coal.Cheng Tianlu covered his mouth and nose, tried his best to widen his eyes, and shouted in the gray house: "Is anyone there?"

After looking around, there are people who have lived in the house for a long time, and there are all daily necessities. There is a dark kitchen inside, and the smell of soot is coming from the kitchen.On the floor were barrels of offal and minced meat, bloody and foul-smelling.Cheng Tianlu hurriedly exited the kitchen, his stomach regurgitating from the soot and stench.

After looking at the small room at a glance, there are no clues that can be studied in detail.He walked out of the room and had a face-to-face meeting with someone.Cheng Tianlu was extremely surprised, and he opened his mouth to say hello: "Secretary Hu, have you come to see the bird?"

Xiao Hu was shocked, and stared at Cheng Tianlu coldly: "You are everywhere."

Cheng Tianlu smiled: "That's right, I'm so glad to see you, it means I didn't find the wrong place."

"What are you looking for? Didn't I tell you, stay here and be honest with me, don't fuck around."

"I'll look for whatever you're looking for," Cheng Tianlu asked with a cheeky face, "Mi Hu, did you receive the news that the two screenwriters have been locked up here?"

Secretary Hu ignored him.The security guards who came with him looked around, and the birds flew around in fright, and the bird droppings rained like rain.While wiping his face, Xiao Hu scolded: "What the hell! This garden should have been closed long ago."

"Who runs the Bird Park?"

"Reporter Cheng, please leave immediately. This is no longer a scenic spot, and you didn't buy a ticket, did you?"

Cheng Tianlu shook his press card, "I don't dare to touch the scenic spot, I'm here to interview the murder scene. Hu Mi, what clues have you found, how about we brainstorm and study together?" Xiao Hu rolled his eyes. Cowhide Tang didn't know what to do, so he had no choice but to treat him as a transparent person.The security searched for a long time, but was also smoked by the stench of rotting meat, and found nothing.They looked everywhere in the garden, except for the birds, and the birds.In the exhibition hall, they overturned the specimens, took off the photos, and threw them on the ground.There was a mess everywhere, as if it had been robbed.

Brother Qi leaned against the tree trunk, tilted his head to look at the sky, thinking about something.Not long after Cheng Tianlu entered, he saw Xiao Hu leading a group of people into the garden.This is the third time that Brother Qi has come here, and every time he meets acquaintances, the first time is Uncle Hai, the second time is Tong Yiru, this time even Xiao Hu can smell it.

The world is really small - no, their encounter was not accidental.Mr. Sangnan said that this is the net of cause and effect, which binds everyone. No matter how far they run, they will eventually come back here.

He remembered the day he met Uncle Hai.It was a week ago, Uncle Hai was very panicked, and asked Brother Qi how did he find out about this?Qi Geer lied, saying that he came to the park to paint peacocks.

"Don't say you've met me, and don't come here again." Uncle Hai's face twitched, and his carefully groomed face suddenly became asymmetrical.

"And why are you here?"

Uncle Hai looked at Skynet, hesitated for a while, and then said, "This is my home."

"Huh?" Brother Qi was very surprised: "Isn't your home in that village?"

"Bozikou was where I lived when I was younger. There was a big accident there, and many people died. I can't remember what happened. I came back just to find out. After coming out of the village, I I was brought to this park and lived there for a few years. I always remember the things here... I always remember, I can't forget them no matter what, they are all terrible things." Uncle Hai's eyes were full of fear.

Glancing at the bird park, Qi Geer said: "Peacock. Like Domi, you are very afraid of peacocks."

"Not only peacocks, but also all kinds of birds, sharp beaks, sharp claws, and emotionless eyes. I am afraid of all birds. But she likes birds very much. We have lived here for several years, surrounded by birds every day. Birds Like this net, I want to escape every day."

"who is she?

Uncle Hai stroked his unruly gray hair. This question made him nervous and ashamed.He said with a childish look, my mother.

Xiao Hu can't wait to dig up every inch of soil here, but the park covers an area of ​​more than 1 hectare. Facing the dense green plants, he doesn't know where to start.A group of people walked along the red brick road to the lake."There's a man over there!" one of the security guards said.

Everyone's spirits were lifted.The security guard walked quickly, holding the tall man between them.The man was stained and smelly, and the dirt on his body looked like blood.His greasy Qier girl's hair was also stained with dirt, and she grinned, almost all the teeth in her mouth fell out, and she looked mentally abnormal.

Xiao Hu's assistant said that he was an employee of the Bird Park and grew up here. He turned to him and asked, "Where's your mother?"

"Mom is gone."

"Leaving?" The assistant was very surprised, turned around and explained to Xiao Hu, "This park stopped appropriating funds 13 years ago. It should have been closed, but the administrator hired it out and operated it privately. The location is remote. There are very few tourists, and I'm afraid I won't see any living people for a year in the past few years."

Cheng Tianlu interrupted: "But the birds are well-raised, and the administrator pays for them?"

"That old lady likes birds very much. I don't know where the money came from, but she keeps the door open. She shouldn't abandon her baby?"

Xiao Hu stared at the dirty man: "Where did your mother go?"

"She's going home."

"Where is your home?"

The man pointed to his stomach, opened his mouth and smiled, "Here."

Everyone froze, their scalps were numb, and their skin was covered with goosebumps.The man took out a bone machete from his huge pocket and raised it up.There was a roar, and everyone turned pale with shock, and retreated in unison.Several security guards surrounded Xiaohu, took out guns and sticks and shouted: "Put down the knife! Your mother!"

Cheng Tianlu was so nervous that his face turned blue, and he glimpsed the calm lake water out of the corner of his eyes in a panic. The water surface was rippling with microwaves, reflecting the blue sky and the bright sun.A thought suddenly popped up: Basin?Is this where all the water comes together?

Those security guards were aggressive, but they were actually controlling their trembling hands, and no one wanted to move forward.The fool had no fear and did not flinch from the weapon. He raised the knife to himself, scratched the rough apron twice, said, "I want to feed the eagles." Then he walked back to the slaughterhouse by the lake.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their feet still feeling weak.

The sun was setting to the west, Brother Qi thought, how long will Xiao Hu spend in the park?Did they intervene because they found some evidence?Then things will be troublesome.

That day he asked Uncle Hai under the tree: "Is the missing screenwriter locked up here?"

Uncle Hai shook his head, "Stop asking, let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible, I don't want to know anything."

"Then why are you here? Yes, your mother still lives there."

Uncle Hai's face was full of fear and unspeakable nostalgia, and the smile on his face was distorted and strange. He said, "I came to the county and thought of her. I have been here many times in the past few days. I got out of the car and made up my mind to go in, but I ended up standing here for hours every time. I dare not see her. She has always lived in it and will not abandon us, we abandoned her."

"You have other companions."

Uncle Hai didn't answer Brother Qi's words, but continued on his own, pouring out the pain in his heart: "Brother Qi, do you know how to completely abandon someone? Just leaving is useless, it must be completely in memory The best way to kill her is to fake one and replace the other. That's what they did, they found me another 'mother'. They did it impeccably, except they didn't tear down the abandoned city."

"Find you a mother?"

"They found another family for me. I forgot what the process was. Anyway, after I escaped from the park, they took me to the northeast. There was a family who adopted me. The family was poor and had no boys. It’s not very good, but it’s enough for me to have something to eat. I changed my accent here, and when I went to Beijing, I also changed my Northeast accent. I struggled all the way, and to the position I am today, no one will doubt my origin , why should I come back here..."

Speaking of this, Uncle Hai straightened up as if waking up from a dream, and said with a calm expression on his well-trained face: "Actually, I have nothing to do with the park. My childhood experience is not a good thing, whether it is true or not. What's the matter? Let me tell you, I'd rather the fake be the real one. This garden is a nightmare of mine. Look, how can people live in such a gloomy park? There will be no people in it. This place never existed, etc. The demolition of the ruined city is over..." Uncle Hai paused, smiled slightly, and put his arm around Brother Qi's shoulder, "You think I'm talking nonsense. Let's go."

Brother Qi took his hand away: "Uncle Hai, I understand your position. But you turned yourself into another person, didn't you still come back? What is fake cannot be true."

Uncle Hai laughed coldly: "Don't reason with me, I'm different from you! But then again, I like you because you're different, and you can live as you want, really decent! As for me, I decided Now, nothing happened before, whether it is the abandoned city or the bird park, they will all disappear completely." His eyes were shining, and he raised his hand to caress Qi Ge'er's face.
