After about an hour and a half, Xiao Li drove to Zhaojiazhuang in Heigou Town, where almost all of them were old-fashioned three-room small tile houses, and there were even a few small grass houses with yellow clay. There are more than 30 households in this Zhaojiazhuang, and each family uses a wooden fence to enclose the yard. When we passed by a house, I saw a big yellow dog with skinny eyes lying in the yard, looking very pitiful.

Xiao Li drove the car and stopped in front of the courtyard of a house, after Director Zhang and I got out of the car, I saw Forensic Doctor Lu wearing a white coat and a pair of gloves was examining a dead donkey lying on the ground, looking at the dead donkey, and then looking at Lao Lu, I thought it was a little funny, there were five or six policemen around him, they were smoking cigarettes and chatting.

When Director Zhang and I walked into the courtyard of this house, the five or six policemen saw Director Zhang, and they quickly threw the cigarette butts in their hands on the ground, and greeted Director Zhang politely one by one, but Director Zhang just nodded to these subordinates and said nothing.

"Lao Lu, what's the situation," Director Zhang took me to the side of the forensic doctor Lao Lu and asked.

"There are eight blood holes on the donkey's neck, it looks like it was bitten by a wild beast, and the area around the blood hole has suppurated, exuding a strong fishy smell, let the little brother come and take a look, I suspect it's ......." Forensic doctor Lao Lu didn't continue to talk halfway through his words, he wanted to say that the donkey might have been bitten by a zombie, but he couldn't say it, after all, he was a state official.

After listening to Lao Lu's words, I walked to the donkey's side and squatted down to examine the donkey's wounds. There are eight blood holes on the left and one on the right side of the donkey's neck, these eight blood holes are of different sizes, the big ones are the size of the thumb cover, and the small ones are the size of the little thumb cover, the flesh around the eight tooth holes has rotted, and there is a strong fishy smell, and the blood flowing out of the wound has turned black.

"Director Zhang, this should be a zombie bite" I stood up and pointed to the dead donkey on the ground with a solemn face and replied to Director Zhang, Director Zhang felt a headache when he heard me say that it was a zombie bite.

"Young man, you are an expert in this area, what do you say we should do next?" Director Zhang asked me with some worry.

"We have to burn this donkey that was bitten to death by zombies first, and then walk from house to house to see if anyone has been bitten by zombies, and if so, we must deal with it quickly," I said to Director Zhang, looking at the dead donkey lying on the ground.

"Okay," Director Zhang replied to me, and began to arrange work for the five or six policemen around him.

"Xiao Li, you go to do the work of this family, this donkey must be burned immediately," Director Zhang said to Xiao Li, the policeman who was driving.

"Okay Zhang Ju" Xiao Li replied and walked towards the backyard of this family.

"The three of us will also go and have a look," after Director Zhang said this to me and the forensic doctor, he took the two of us to follow Xiao Li to the backyard of this family.

Walking into the backyard of this house, I saw two people in their fifties squatting on the ground picking buds. The old man was smoking dry tobacco while picking up the buds, while the woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her calloused hands.

"Okay, don't cry in front of outsiders, don't be ashamed," the man said to his daughter-in-law with a complaining face.

"Our family is working on that donkey, and now that the donkey is dead, how can this work be done in the future! I can't live this day, why is God so blind" When the woman said this, she cried even more sadly, and it made people feel sad when they looked at it.

"Alas," the old man just sighed, and then said nothing.

"Uncle, Auntie, I want to tell you something," Xiao Li squatted beside the old man and said.

"Say it, young man," the old man put down his work, took out another dry cigarette, lit it, and smoked.

"Cough, cough, cough" Before Xiao Li could speak, he was choked by the dry smoke in the old man's mouth and coughed.

"That's the case, your donkey is probably bitten by a poisonous beast, and now it must be burned on the spot," Xiao Li said to the old man, pointing to the front yard of their house.

"Don't lie to me, young man, for there is no venomous beast except a snake these days, and my donkey is not like a snake, but a wolf. In the morning, I have contacted the owner of a donkey meat restaurant in the town, he is willing to pay a thousand yuan to buy my dead donkey, if I burn it on the spot, I will not get a penny, then the loss is a bit big, I have to minimize the loss, when I bought this donkey cub, it cost me more than 2,000, if it does not die, it can be sold for at least 6,000 now" The old man said to me with tears in his eyes.

"But if you sell this dead donkey and let others eat it, someone will be poisoned," Xiao Li continued to the old man with a frown.

"My donkey is not poisonous, don't talk nonsense here" The old man was a little anxious when he said this to Xiao Li, but Xiao Li stood up and looked at Director Zhang helplessly.

"I'm fifty-eight years old this year, how old are you," Director Zhang walked up to the old man and asked with a smile.

"I'm fifty-two years old this year," the old man raised his head and looked at Director Zhang, who was fifty-eight years old compared to this fifty-two-year-old man, and Director Zhang looked younger than this old man.

"Brother, do you think this is okay! I bought the dead donkey in your yard," Director Zhang said to the old man with a smile on his face.

"But I have already promised the owner of the donkey butcher shop to sell it to him, and you can't be a man without integrity," the old man looked at Director Zhang and said.

"He will give you a thousand, I will give you a thousand two, what do you think" Director Zhang said to the old man with a serious face.

"Okay, old man, sell him one thousand two," the old man's daughter-in-law wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said to the old man impatiently.

"Although we are poor, but we also have to be poor and have backbone, we have promised to sell a thousand yuan to Kong Wu of the donkey meat shop, we can no longer sell to others, what is the difference between being a man and losing integrity, and being a beast" The old man said to his daughter-in-law with a stubborn face, at this time I admired this old man's personality a little.

Director Zhang shook his head and smiled bitterly on the side, and then didn't say anything, Director Zhang has been a policeman for so many years, and he has been in contact with all kinds of people, and he feels that he has no room for negotiation with this old man.

After more than half an hour, an Isuzu truck stopped in the yard of the old man's house, and I saw two people jump out of the Isuzu truck and go straight to the dead donkey in the yard.
