"Ah, this is a long story. My hometown is really poor and poor. It used to be very poor and poor. In recent years, the local government has been engaged in construction, land acquisition and so on. Many people there are really complaining. It’s quite big. When I passed by, I was walking on the road, and I saw a lot of people looking at me like that. In broad daylight, the street was lifeless, and some people sat or stood at the door and just looked at people like that. How can I say… …It’s like looking at dead cats and dogs. The house in my hometown is still there. I went there for five or six days and lived there. On the first morning, I woke up from choking. There are still some fields there, just some People burn straw, right next to my house, the smoke... At first I thought it was a fire, but when I went over, I saw it was burning straw, and they sprinkled something into it while burning. I went to Minqing City with my parents when I was young Now, only my grandparents stayed in my hometown. After my grandparents left, our family will not go back. Really, I don’t know the people there very well. I don’t understand the local dialect very well, and they may not understand it either. I understand Mandarin, I asked them, they just looked at me like that, and then continued to sprinkle things there. There are also a few old women, who sprinkled things on me. I think it is that..."

"What did they sprinkle?"

"I do not know."

"What kind of thing?"

"It looks like rice, but it's bigger than a grain of rice. I really don't know what it is."

"Is there anything else going on besides this?"

"There are also dogs. They... I was just wandering in the village, and one of them seemed to see me. They pulled a dog out of the house, hung it on a tree at the door, hung it up and strangled it... That dog keeps barking, it's very pitiful, and the country people don't know how to raise dogs, so it's not a pet dog in the city. It looks cute and beautiful, and it's all shed. Kind of dirty. The dog's eyes were still red, and the tongue was sticking out. They hanged it directly. They watched me do this, and they hung the dog while watching me. They also took The knife came out, a kitchen knife, but it was bigger than a normal kitchen knife. Just like this, the dog’s belly was cut open, and the contents fell to the ground... I felt like throwing up when I saw it. Look at me, stare at me, don't look at the dog. I..."

"Is there anything you've done, or has your family done in the past?"

"No! I remember when I went back to my parents when I was a child, and when I held funerals for my grandma, it's not like this! I think they are very xenophobic, and they may treat me as that kind of profiteer. Really not! I am Because of the land requisition, the land and house in my hometown were also confiscated, and I needed to go back to go through the formalities. On the first day I went to say hello to the neighbors and so on, and brought a small gift, which was produced by our company, for them. Oh! They just shut the door, you know? It’s like that kind of thriller, I knock on the door, they open the door, take a look, slam it shut, and then close the windows, curtains and everything. I don’t know why! Looking back, I can see them pulling back the curtains a little bit to look at me. Just like that..."

"Did you leave after seeing the killing of the dog?"

"No, because the land acquisition has not been completed, I am not in a hurry to leave. I went home and stopped running around. I was either at home or going to the village committee or the police station. Anyway, I don't deal with them anymore. But, but that night, when I was having dinner, someone knocked on the door. I was scared to death. Several of them stood outside. They were all middle-aged people like me. One of them was when my grandma died. , I've seen it before, and I've had a drink with him, but he has that expression now, the expression of looking at the enemy with a straight face. They knocked on the door very loudly, just like knocking on the door, and then a few people just like that The door was blocked. I took a stick and opened the door again, and I opened a crack, and the door chain was still fastened, so I asked them what they were going to do..."

"How did they answer?"

"He, the one I just mentioned, held an enamel bowl in his hand. Inside was... I didn't know what it was when I first saw it. It was dark and sticky. It was very ...How should I put it, it's disgusting, and the smell is also disgusting... That smell is not a smell... He said he would give it to me, but of course I refused!"

"Ah."

"And then... and then he..."

"Just what?"

"He said, Maozi made this specially and gave it to me."

"Who is Maozi?"

"The guy who came with them, stood in the back. They got out of the way, and I saw...he was covered in blood...just blood. It was that, the one who killed the dog...that man... That thing...he said again, Maozi specially slaughtered his rhubarb and gave it to me...I, I almost spit it out, really almost spit it out. All of them looked at me, and they were all like that The secondary expression, the kind of expression that wants to smile or not, is very fake, and it is not normal at first glance! I accept it..."

"You accepted it?"

"Yeah, I took it, but I didn't eat it and immediately poured it out. It was really disgusting, don't know if it was poorly made, or there was something wrong with the dog... the dog just didn't look like it Healthy dog. Anyway... oops!"

Snapped!

"That's it. I dumped it, gave them the bowl back, and closed the door. I looked through the peephole and they looked at each other and laughed. I think they're going to kill me...they're trying to Kill me... I will live in a small hotel afterwards. Isn’t this a village? About an hour’s drive away, this is another place that is more prosperous and has a hotel. I will live there and let the village committee Whatever, call me if you have something to do, and I'll go over there."

"Well. Did you encounter anything after that?"

"No, that's all. I haven't dealt with them since."

"Are the people in the village committee normal?"

"Well, they're normal."

"After returning to Minqing City, did you start having nightmares?"

"Yes, I started after I came back. That thing, the thing that got into my throat, I thought it was like smoke, the smoke I saw that day, but it got into the throat, and then went down, to the esophagus, and then went down, then It feels the same as that dog meat... that kind of sticky and smelly..."

"Did you go home alone?"

"Yes, it's just me. Ah, no, I'm the only one in the back. At the beginning, my wife was there on the first day. We originally wanted to travel for a few days, similar to a farmhouse, but when we got there , just arrived on the first day, my wife was uncomfortable with them and was about to leave. I just sent her away and went back. I didn’t expect this to happen. I used to, more than ten or twenty years ago, my grandfather It wasn't like that when grandma died."

"May I ask, how did your grandparents die?"

"I'm getting old, and my stomach is bad. They live in the country, don't they have that kind of wild vegetables and wild mushrooms? They ate it wrong. When the villagers contacted us, they died in the hospital. This must be true, My grandparents are very popular in the village. Our family came to Minqing very early, and the family conditions are very good in the village. Every year when I go back to my hometown, my parents bring a lot of things back, and they are very helpful to the village. People inside."

"Later, because your grandparents passed away, you completely lost contact with your hometown?"

"Eh? This... hiss..."
