Chapter Sixty-Eight: Moving Forward with Difficulty

This night, Concubine Qiao slept soundly.

The next morning, she called Li Xuewen and said that she was about to set off to find Zhou Linyao, Li Xuewen was even more excited than her, and wanted to find a special driver to send her over, but she refused.

Concubine Qiao had already arranged her own itinerary for this trip.

The address on the note given by Li Xuewen was Dayang Village, Qinghe County, but she looked for it, and there was no place on the electronic map.

Later, I asked a lot of friends to inquire and finally found this place, which is located in a small village farther away in the suburbs of City A, backed by a mountain, in front of the hanging river, and it is very inconvenient to communicate with the outside world, so when the economy of City A has developed rapidly, this Dayang Village is still in a closed and backward state.

Concubine Qiao took a car out of City A, but further on, even if she offered a sky-high price, the driver was unwilling to go: "Girl, don't embarrass me, this is the suburbs from now on, and no one wants to go." ”

Concubine Qiao had no choice, so she had to drag her luggage out of the car and staggered forward, but there was no edge in sight on the road ahead, how long would it take to get to the so-called Ocean Village!

Just when she was in a hurry, a donkey cart pulling Feng Shui pear was hurrying to the urban area of City A, Concubine Qiao seized this opportunity and directly stopped the old man who was driving the car: "Uncle, wait a minute." ”

"Do you want to buy pears?

Concubine Qiao thought that she wanted to ask others for directions, so she would take care of the business first, so she said, "Uncle, please bring me five catties." ”

The old man smiled and filled the pears for Concubine Qiao, Concubine Qiao also felt thirsty, she didn't have so many worries, she picked one up directly from the bag, wiped it and took a bite directly, it was really sweet, thinking of the pears in those fruit stores in the city, five yuan a pound is not delicious, what a profiteer!

"Uncle, let me inquire about something, this Ocean Village, do you know where to go?"

The uncle's eyes widened: "Dayang Village?" and then showed a slightly puzzled expression, this little girl is dressed like a rich family's baby, what are you doing in their poor countryside?

"Who are you looking for?"

Concubine Qiao replied honestly: "Are there soldiers in Dayang Village who are drilling? I'm just looking for them!"

"Ah......" The old man looked suddenly enlightened, and then said: "Indeed, the bullet is strange, and it is scary." ”

"Then how do you get there?" Concubine Qiao stomped her feet a little anxiously, it was already more than ten o'clock, if she couldn't catch up with Dayang Village at night and couldn't find Zhou Linyao, wouldn't she be sleeping miserably on the streets?

"Don't worry, there's a minibus at eleven o'clock, it's going to Dayang Village, just wait here." ”

Hearing the old man say this, Concubine Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then squatted down on the side of the street, staring directly at the car driving from City A, I don't know how long it took, only three of the five catties of Fengshui pears were eaten by her, and the small car came slowly burning with diesel.

"Wait a minute......" Concubine Qiao shouted, and the driver stopped the minibus and said to Concubine Qiao, "Ten yuan." ”

Concubine Qiao rummaged through her body without ten yuan of change, and the only ten yuan was returned to the uncle who sold pears just now, and finally she had to take out a hundred yuan and put it into the box in distress, and walked to the back seat under the subtle gaze of a carload of people.

Originally, when I wanted Zhou Linyao to see herself, her eyes lit up, but after tossing for so long, all the makeup on her face was spent, and it was very uncomfortable, Concubine Qiao took out a makeup remover directly from her backpack, wiped her face clean, and faced the sky, she didn't have so many extravagances now, it was good to find Zhou Linyao smoothly.

The minibus has no air conditioning and no curtains, at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest sun shines on Concubine Qiao's body through the glass, so that she only feels hot and painful, and the most terrible thing is that the mountain road is more and more tortuous, very bumpy, mixed with the smell of diesel, almost made her vomit in the car.

That is, with a sense of refusal to admit defeat, Concubine Qiao barely managed to make it to the bus station, and when she got off the bus, she squatted in the woods on the side and vomited, rinsed her mouth with water, wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes, and looked at the surrounding environment.

But just after the first glance, her heart was half cold, where is the appearance of half a village, except for a bus stop, surrounded by bottomless woods, she ran again to ask the bus driver: "Master, isn't this Dayang Village?"

The driver was a little impatient, took a puff of the cigarette lit by his fingertips, and pointed to a path in the woods opposite: "At the end of this path, the car can't drive in, so you can only walk." ”

"This ...... How long will it take?"

"If it's a quick walk, it's about an hour and a half. ”

Hearing the driver's words, Concubine Qiao wanted to cry without tears, she carried this big bag of things and walked on the mountain road for an hour and a half, it was not her hypocrisy, even if she pulled a professional mountain climber, she would feel tired, and looked at the watch on her wrist - it was already half past five, if she couldn't catch it in an hour and a half, she would really have to sleep in the wilderness......
