The appearance of the house was dilapidated, and the interior was no better. It was very rudimentary, with only one stool. The old man let the two policemen who came from afar sit on the wooden bed while he sat on his own bench.
There were watermelons that had just been cut on the table. They intended to sit together and eat the watermelons and chat, but the old man had no appetite. He described in a heavy tone what had happened that day.
"It was a sunny day then, like today. I brought Xiao Jun to the reservoir to fish. I told him to stay on the shore to fish, and I took the boat to the deeper waters. There are few fish in the reservoir and no fish can be caught on the shore. Xiao Jun was very obedient."
"Every time we come fishing, he will stay safely on the shore and wait. In order to alleviate his boredom, I have also made him a fishing rod, and he could occasionally catch a few small fish."
