Chapter 221: Onward

Returning to Miyun, he wandered around the reservoir for another week, the sun was enough, the weather was too cold and the fish were too lazy to fish, and finally stayed up until the weekend, Zhong Yuemin packed his things and went to the office to hand over the materials. *Say, "Dream", "Small", .com

"Yuemin, it's about to be the New Year, go back to the city and rest for a few more days! Office Section Elder Song instructed.

Zhong Yuemin was overjoyed, "Is this okay?

Zhong Yuemin was actually fake polite, and his mouth was grinning to the root of his ears, so he was afraid that Section Chief Song would regret letting him work overtime.

"You don't need to be on duty, you're still a student, so it's a winter vacation. Section Chief Song took out a bag from behind him, "This is the New Year's goods issued by the unit, which are some specialties of our reservoir, apples, pears and some nuts, take them home for the family to taste." ”

"Hey, section chief, then you're welcome!" Zhong Yuemin took the bag and expressed his gratitude.

"You're welcome, grab your things, and go home early before it's dark. Seeing that Zhong Yuemin couldn't hold back, Section Chief Song waved his hand.

Zhong Yuemin has been waiting for this sentence for a long time, no matter what time it is, the holiday is a happy thing!

"Thank you, Section Chief Song, we'll see you next year!" Zhong Yuemin said and ran out.

"Oh, Yuemin is back!" Section Chief Song greeted, and suddenly stopped Zhong Yuemin again.

Zhong Yuemin stopped at the door of the office, "Section Chief Song, is there anything else?"

"I can't borrow a bicycle from you, after the third year of junior high school, the people on duty will use it. Section Chief Song said: "Let Xiao Li ride you to the county, where there is a general shuttle bus to BJ at five o'clock, you can act quickly." ”

"Hey, it's just four o'clock, I'll hurry up and find Master Li. Zhong Yuemin glanced at the time, the time was a little nervous, and he answered, and ran away.

·········

Zhong Yuemin and Master Li took turns riding bicycles along the way, carrying a bag of things, more than ten kilometers of road, hurried slowly, and finally arrived at the station at 4:50.

When I asked at the ticket office, the car had already left, and there were a lot of people who went to BJ today, and the car was full, and the driver drove out at half past four.

Zhong Yuemin was angry, "Is there any way this car doesn't depart on time?"

The conductor rolled his eyes, "The bus is full, don't leave early, wait in vain, isn't it a waste of everyone's time?"

Zhong Yuemin gasped so hard that he really didn't have the strength to argue, and he was too lazy to argue with the conductor's powerful reason, so he had to find a place to sit down with Xiao Li.

"Yuemin, the sun is about to set, and there is no car here, let's go back quickly after resting!" Master Li also kept beating his old waist.

He was tired along the way.

"Hmm! take a breath and go back, please follow Bai Run!" Zhong Yuemin thanked him while looking around.

"Hey, who would have thought that there were a lot of people today, the car left early, and I would send you over tomorrow morning!" Master Li comforted Zhong Yuemin, "What are you looking for?"

Zhong Yuemin then remembered, not to mention vending machines these days, there is not even mineral water, who wants to say that tasteless water can be sold in bottles for money, it must be regarded as crazy.

"Oh, I'm looking for a bucket to boil. Zhong Yuemin replied casually.

Master Li also followed and looked for it, "I didn't see it, I went to give advice to the station, how can the station not have a bucket of water, what should the passengers do when they are thirsty!"

Zhong Yuemin smiled, Master Li is the most representative person in this era, working in a public unit, no matter where he goes, when he sees a place that is unreasonable and inappropriate for the people, he likes to give opinions, and he is not afraid of many things at all.

In fact, in the eyes of later generations, such people are actually nosy, but in this era, people like Master Li are indeed very common, and they all have the belief of thinking about society in their hearts.

Zhong Yuemin saw that Master Li was really going to find the station leader, so he hurriedly stopped, "Master Li, let's rest for a while first, and then go back." ”

"Let's eat a pear first!" Zhong Yuemin took out two pears from the bag and handed one to Master Li.

Master Li hurriedly excused himself, "No, no, this is the New Year's gift you brought home, you can take it home for your parents to taste." I'll go back and drink some more water. ”

"Master Li, you're tired all the way, take it!" Zhong Yuemin insisted on stuffing the pears into Master Li's hands, "I still have a lot here, it's enough to take it home." ”

There was no water, Zhong Yuemin was thirsty, and he didn't care whether it was clean or not, he wiped it on his clothes, and took a bite of a pear, and the sweet juice instantly overflowed his mouth and moistened his throat.

"The pears in our reservoir don't look big, but they taste so sweet!" Zhong Yuemin ate the pears in two bites and exclaimed.

"That's not it, not only pears, but these fruit trees in the reservoir area were planted when we built the reservoir, and the good varieties selected from all over the country are good for the water and soil of our reservoir, and the fruits planted are better than other places. Master Li said proudly, "Our fruits are directly supplied to BJ, and ordinary people can't eat them!"

"Then we have taken a big advantage!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.

Master Li said: "That's not, I heard that many units of BJ are not enough points, and the New Year's goods issued by our unit are still deducted by the leaders of the unit, otherwise they will all be pulled away by BJ!"

Master Li ate the pears cleanly, even the kernels cleanly, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

"Hey!" Zhong Yuemin got up and put the bag on, "On the way back, I'll ride you!"

"Cheng!" Master Li said happily, "the young man is in good health, I will sit and go back." ”

······

Zhong Yuemin and Master Li left the waiting hall and pushed their bicycles to the gate of the parking lot.

"Let's go, let's go, Langfang, Langfang, the last bus today!" At this time, a minibus came from the parking place, and the conductor leaned out of the car with half of his body, and kept greeting.

The voice is quite similar to Huang Bo, and he also has such a performance in the movie "Get in the car, let's go", Zhong Yuemin thought it was funny when he heard it.

Master Li looked at the car and said strangely: "The bus to Langfang usually leaves at noon, why do you only leave now?"

"It's a lot of fun to sell tickets, and it sounds like it's from Qingdao. Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.

"Where, you heard badly, this is the Langfang accent, mixed with Beijing and Tianjin accents, a bit different. Master Li said.

The minibus drove up to them, and the ticket seller shouted at them: "Comrade, are you going to Langfang?

"Why did you just leave this car?" asked Master Li.

"The car broke down at noon, and it has been repaired until now, and now there is no one on the car, but we still have to start the car, otherwise I can't exchange it with my throat, like selling meat!"

"Haha, this Chinese New Year, the meat seller doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell pork!" Master Li said.

"Hey, I'm not even as good as a meat seller!" said the ticket seller.

Zhong Yuemin was suddenly stunned, "Master, where did you just say you were going?"

"Langfang! How many times have you shouted!"

"Is Nanyuan Airport closer to Langfang?" Zhong Yuemin asked.

"yes, it's not that far. The conductor asked, "Where are you going? It's a military airfield." ”

Zhong Yuemin said happily: "I'm going there!"

As he spoke, Zhong Yuemin jumped into the car with the bag, turned back to Master Li and said, "Master Li, I'll go first!

Master Li was a little confused by his behavior, looked at the car in the distance and muttered, "What are you going to Langfang for the Chinese New Year?"

Zhong Yuemin couldn't hear Master Li's voice anymore, so he got on the bus and found a seat to sit down, and found that there were really few passengers.

The ticket seller approached and said, "Shangnanyuan can only put you down halfway, and you have to figure out your own way for the remaining five or six places." ”

"No problem, you can ask the driver to put me down when the time comes. Zhong Yuemin didn't care about this, and when he got to the place, he said, "How much is the ticket?"

"Give me a piece. ”

Zhong Yuemin handed over the money, "Comrade call me at the place, I just got up all the way, I'm tired, I'll take a nap first." ”

"You can sleep in peace, and I will call you to the place. The conductor agreed.

··········

Zhong Yuemin saw the last sunset on the horizon, and thought that it would be dark when he got to the place later.

The minibus got on the road, the carriage was pitch black, the body was shaky, and it started to make a repetitive and boring sound, and several other passengers on the bus quickly fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a heavy mechanical crash, as if the minibus let out a long moan, waking up all the people who were asleep on the minibus.

The driver got out of the car scolding and slammed the door slammed on.

"What's going on?" asked the passengers.

Only Zhong Yuemin was still asleep, he was so tired that he blocked all the sounds of the outside world.

At this time, the public security was not bad, the cars were all public, ordinary people were still a little in awe of the car, and there were no road rage robbers, which was why Zhong Yuemin slept so deeply.

The driver and conductor checked under the car and got on the bus, "The car is broken, we guess we won't be on the road until tomorrow morning." ”

This news disappointed the passengers on the bus, and they made a fuss.

"Why is the car broken, we are all in a hurry to go home!"

"Tomorrow is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, what should you do if you left us on the road?"

"It's so cold in the car, staying up all night, it's going to freeze to death!"

······

"Okay, don't make any noise, there's no way if the car breaks down, you can't go back, we can't go back!" The conductor hurriedly reassured: "We can only wait until tomorrow and let the passing cars pull our cars away." ”

"Then what if there are no other cars coming tomorrow?" another person asked, "Are we going to spend the New Year on the road?"

"Yes, you are from the public family, and you can't repair the car if it breaks down?"

······

"Okay!" the driver was furious and shouted: "What's the noise? The car is broken, if you don't want to wait, get out of the car, and there are still 50 kilometers to go, and you will arrive!"

In those years, the driver was more short-tempered, because he could control such a large machine, his status was very high, and he was quite respected, and when he was angry, the passengers in the car did not dare to speak.

"Where is this?" Zhong Yuemin was awakened by the noise in the car.

The conductor said: "Just crossed the old Zhongqiao and arrived at Nanhaizi." ”

This should be Daxing County on the outskirts of Beijing, Zhong Yuemin probably has a judgment, but the specific place is still not familiar, after all, he has not been here, "How far is it from Nanyuan Airport?"

"Six or seven kilometers ahead, you'll get to where you should get off. Then turn right and follow the road, there is an eleven or twelve kilometers to the place. The conductor replied.

"When will the car be repaired tomorrow?" Zhong Yuemin felt that it was a bit choking to walk so far this night, and it was almost nine o'clock now, and it was estimated that he would not be able to reach the place until tomorrow morning.

The passengers in the carriage also looked at the conductor with concern, and they were all concerned about this issue.

"It's not certain, if you're lucky, you can have an early bus at seven or eight o'clock, and if you're unlucky, you might not have a car in the morning. ”

Everyone was extremely disappointed at once, this thing is all based on luck, it is too unreliable.

Zhong Yuemin thought about it, stood up and put on his coat, put on his hat, and took the bag of New Year's goods.

"Where are you going?" asked the conductor hurriedly.

"Don't wait, I'll go over by myself!" Zhong Yuemin opened the door and got out of the car without looking back.

The conductor got off the bus and persuaded: "Originally, if the car hadn't broken down, you would have been able to find a donkey carriage to go to Nanyuan Airport when you got there, but if you have to walk over, it will be the second half of the night!

The other passengers were also lying on their stomachs at the window, looking at Zhong Yuemin and the conductor.

"Forget it, it's a little warmer for a walk, it's too cold in the car all night. Zhong Yuemin is definitely not looking for abuse, he thinks very clearly, there is no air conditioning on the minibus, and the temperature is too low, and it is estimated that he can freeze into ice cubes after sleeping in the car for a night.

Zhong Yuemin didn't wait for the conductor to persuade him, waved his hand, and strode forward.

"Wait!" The driver also got out of the car at this time, caught up, and handed Zhong Yuemin a crowbar, "There may be wild beasts in the wilderness, take it for self-defense." ”

The crowbar is iron, and it is quite heavy in his hand, Zhong Yuemin accepted the kindness of the driver's master, and carried the crowbar to start his winter night hike.

Far away from the bus, the road was pitch black, Zhong Yuemin didn't bring a flashlight when he went out, and he only had a box of matches on his body, but it was unrealistic to see the road by match lighting, so he could only keep his eyes open and move forward with his feelings.

The road is paved with stones, and after the eyes adapt to the darkness, they can detect that the road is gray and the land on the side of the road is black.

Zhong Yuemin walked and thought in his heart, a total of twenty kilometers, almost the distance from Ishikawa Village to the county seat, such a long road has been walked several times, it should be nothing.

Zhong Yuemin was quite fast at first, but the more he walked, the more empty his heart became, and the slower his pace became, only then did he remember that he had been accompanied by Zheng Tong on the night road several times before, but now he is alone, there is no shop in front of the village, there are no stars and moons in the sky, and there are no street lights on the ground, so he is really a little panicked.

From time to time, there were animal calls in the distance, and he couldn't tell whether it was a dog barking or a wolf howling, so Zhong Yuemin could only clench the crowbar in his hand.

Zhong Yuemin is still an optimist after all, and suddenly laughed to himself: "Although the weather is cold, fortunately, it has not rained or snowed, and the road is quite easy to walk!"

He was still happy in his heart, and suddenly there was a hint of coolness on his face, and he looked up at the sky, only to see that the white flutter like a feather fell suddenly, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

Zhong Yuemin looked at it with a melancholy expression.
