I'm angry too, so I'll just tell you, let's go, Brother Yu.
Brother Yu was helpless when he saw this, so he said let's go.
But just as he turned around and walked a few steps, the old man suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."
"What? Changed your mind?" I turned around and asked.
The old man lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and waited quietly for a minute or two.
When he raised his head, his eyes suddenly turned red and he said, "If you can help me catch the stolen dog, I'll help him with the shovel, okay?"
I turned to look at Brother Yu: "What do you mean? Help catch the dog thief?"
Brother Yu asked: "Old man, we didn't quite understand. Please say it again."
The old man explained it, and then he understood the meaning.
He had a big yellow dog that was poisoned to death last week by a group of people feeding him ham. He was in the house at the time and ran out when he heard the dog grunting, only to see several people preparing to take the dog away.
He picked up a stick and shouted, and the group of people ran down the mountain in a panic. When they looked down, they saw that the big yellow dog couldn't breathe within a few minutes and died.
At this point, the old man's eyes were red. He wiped his tears with his arms and sobbed. He looked very painful, as if his son had been poisoned to death.
In fact, I can understand that he is a childless old man. He has been with an old yellow dog for more than ten years. If he has a stutter, he will give the old dog half a bite. Now that he has been poisoned to death, he is naturally very sad.
.
The key is, can we help with this? I have never caught a dog thief, how can I help?
Brother Yu walked over, squatted down and chatted with the old man for a few minutes, then pulled me aside and said, "I asked Yunfeng, the dog thief probably used poison."
I said I knew that the poisonous ham sausage might be mixed with rat poison.
"No," Brother Yu shook his head and said, "I used to know a dog thief in a theater troupe. They didn't use rat poison. Dog meat that has been tainted with rat poison cannot be sold. People will be poisoned if they eat it."
"What kind of poison is that?"
Brother Yu said, "The dog stops immediately."
The local dialect is called dog stop, which means that the dog will stop panting immediately after eating it. The scientific name should be "isoniazid (jing)."
At that time, many dog thieves used this kind of thing. It was a prescription drug used to treat tuberculosis. Medical students should know the principle. People who take a small dose of isoniazid are fine, but once a dog takes it, only a small amount is needed.
will be poisoned to death.
Dogs poisoned by this drug are sold to dog meat restaurants across the country, because humans can eat the meat without any problem.
After thinking about it, I said to the old man: "Uncle, I can help you find this group of dog thieves, but you have to let me see the shovel first. If it doesn't work well, wouldn't our work be in vain?"
"middle!"
The old man immediately stood up and said, come with me, let me see what it is called, "The most awesome, sharpest, fastest digging soil in the world, the best Luoyang shovel."
Brother Yu and I followed him into a dilapidated house. There was a mud stove with a hand-push blower under the stove.
There are also various hammer tools, scrap metal, scrap cans, etc. piled in the room.
Leaning against the corner stood two Luoyang shovels.
From a distance, the momentum of these two shovels is different, like two square halberds, peerless magic weapons stuck in the ground!
The afterglow of the setting sun shines in through the window, and the whole place is shimmering with cold light.
I walked over, picked it up and tried it.
It's lightweight. I don't know how it was made. Compared with all the shovels I've used before, it's at least half the weight.
I lifted the shovel and gently poked it into the ground. Without using much force at all, the shovel surface went down ten centimeters!
I picked it up and didn't want to put it down. I simply couldn't put it down. I have never seen such a good Luoyang shovel.
At that moment, I even had an illusion. I felt like I could dig up the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Lishan with just one shovel!
Seeing the excitement on my face, the old man held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "You bastard, did you hit the mark?"
middle!
I said it was a hit! I want this one!
In the end, he shook his head and said, "No, someone ordered this. I ordered it for them, but I haven't come to pick it up yet."
The shovel shaft of this shovel is one-piece. I scratched my head and thought about it, then asked him: "Can it be made into two parts? That is, it can be packed separately in a bag?"
He nodded and said, "No problem, I can tailor one for you according to the size of your hand."
Later, many years later.
This shovel of mine is still the best one in the entire Northern School.
