On this day, it was the twentieth day of the lunar month, and the snow was falling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info unknowingly, it's the New Year again.

Chen Feng, who was extremely familiar with the operation of the grocery store, had long been able to take care of this shop alone, so Chen Shouye was completely idle.

It's just that for some reason, Xiaocui has been avoiding Chen Feng recently, not talking as much as before, and rarely accompanying him to the lake. Although Chen Feng felt strange, it was inconvenient to ask in detail. When he went out alone, Chen Feng could let the Blood Spirit Spider, Ming Soul and Bai Yuche Gopher come out to breathe, and he was also happy. It's a pity that without Xiaocui by her side, there is a lot less fun. In addition, without Xiaocui's tutoring, he groped for how to play the recorder on his own, and his progress was often very slow.

It is worth mentioning that the third secret meridian in Chen Feng's body may be opened at any time, and the carefully constructed local circulation is about to be completed.

Although there are still a few days before the New Year, the families have already begun to prepare for the New Year's goods, and the business in the shop has also improved a lot. It's just that today's snow is too big and the weather is too cold, so Chen Feng closed half of the store early according to Chen Shouye's instructions, and sat alone at the counter to study the heavens, stars, and moon beads. Using secret knowledge and his own inexplicable induction to test again and again, the beads can withstand the temptation, and there is no movement.

After a long time, Chen Feng shook his head in some disappointment and yawned. Looking out of the window at the wind and snow, the sky and earth were already white. I don't know if in this weather, after a year, those secret people in the Chixia Mountains are still chasing him. No matter what, as long as Chen Feng didn't take the initiative to show up, it would be difficult for them to find him in the vast world.

I wonder what happened to the situation in the Chixia Mountains this year? It's been quite a while since I've been away from Red Maple Island, so what's going on there? Did Hua Cuicui return to the Origin Continent with her aunt? How are Haoxue, Fang Qing, He Hong, He Qing, Cheng Susu and other friends doing? The outside world is very exciting, and the rivers and lakes and the secret world are all like this. However, behind the excitement is a thousand difficulties and dangers, but it is not as clean and comfortable as this small grocery store.

Today, Yang and Xiaocui did not go out to work, but stayed at home to gather things for the New Year. After a busy year, it's time for a few days to rest.

There is a custom near Yinhu Town, that is, marriage, moving, and moving graves will be carried out before and after the New Year, and every time these occasions are indispensable, red and yellow mounted paper is indispensable. Therefore, Chen Feng prepared a large amount of inventory early. Coincidentally, near the end of the year, the father of the Shen official in the town died, and he wanted to hold a big funeral, so he purchased a large amount of red and yellow mounted paper. Selling mounted paper is a profitable business, and few shops will be enthusiastic. As a result, the mounting paper in my uncle's grocery store was sold out. Therefore, the afternoon before yesterday, Chen Shouye went to Quanzhou City to buy goods. Originally, Chen Feng insisted on going, but Chen Shouye said that there were still a few accounts to know in Quanzhou City, and Chen Feng didn't know how to find someone, so he still had to go.

In the second half of last night, it suddenly snowed heavily, and Yang and Xiaocui couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Before leaving, Chen Shouye said that he would be able to come back at noon the next day, but who would have thought that in the afternoon, Chen Shouye still did not come back. Chen Feng walked into the backyard and found that Yang and Xiaocui were also very anxious. Chen Feng asked Yang to go to the store to guard, then pushed open the half-covered door and walked out of the door against the wind and snow.

The wind was bitter, shaking the thin houses around it. The snowflakes hit his face one after another, but they aroused Chen Feng's pleasant pain. As far as the eye can see, mountains, rivers, fields, rivers and lakes are all connected.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, but Chen Feng had lived in the town for nearly half a year, and he easily found a pier by Baiyin Lake. Chen Shouye always takes a boat from here to Quanzhou.

After spending twice the usual fare, Chen Feng hired a small boat and sailed towards Quanzhou. After walking for more than half an hour, I met Boss Liu, who opened a tavern in the town. Chen Feng was familiar with him, so he asked him if he had seen Chen Shouye. Boss Liu said that Chen Shouye had set off from Quanzhou to return to Yinhu Town half an hour before him.

Chen Feng ordered the boat to move forward for a while, the river was gradually frozen, the boatman said that he did not want to move forward, Chen Feng had to return with the boat.

When he returned, the boat Chen Feng was on was overtaken by a huge two-story wooden boat. There were also a few people who looked like family members on the wooden boat, constantly shouting and telling Chen Feng to get out of the way. When shouting, the words of the family will naturally not sound good. If it weren't for Chen Shouye in his heart, Chen Feng would definitely teach them a lesson.

Chen Feng asked the boatman: "Whose servant is this, so arrogant?" ”

The boatman said, "Who else could it be?" Did you see the flags and lanterns hanging on the ship? It was Shen Daguan's ship. His family's family didn't need to kneel when they saw the county order, let alone shouting at us. ”

Chen Feng silently watched the Shen family's big ship gradually move away, and couldn't help but think: the small Silver Lake Town and the huge secret realm are also ordinary.

After moving forward for a short while, Chen Feng also saw a similar boat capsized into the water, which was the boat that Boss Liu had met before.

At this time, the boatman and Boss Liu were lying on the side of the broken boat, constantly calling for help in the water.

Chen Feng and the boatman immediately took action and rescued the two. The boatman also gave them a few clothes to change into.

"What's going on? How did your ship capsize? And it's so bad? Chen Feng asked.

"It's not the Shen family's boat that hit it. Because our ship encountered ice, we dodged slowly, and we were hit by the Shen family's ship. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have lost my life. Boss Liu said while shivering.

"What can I do? We are a family of five, and we all rely on our boat to get by. Now my boat is broken and everything on board is gone. It's hard to say whether our family of five will survive this year......" Speaking of this, the boatman who fell into the water whimpered bitterly.

"Doesn't the Shen family pay any compensation?" Chen Feng asked again.

"Hey, it's good to block the Shen family's boat lane, it's good not to be beaten by the Shen family, how can you compensate? The Shen family is powerful, and they can speak well in the prefect of Quanzhou, even if they make trouble with the government, it is useless. The boatman on the same boat said.

After getting off the boat and getting on the dock, Chen Feng saw that the boatman who had fallen into the water was trembling and crying and walking home slowly, so he followed, took out two ingots of silver and handed them to him: "Use this silver to buy a boat, or just do some small business!" ”

The boatman quickly refused: "How can this be?" How can this be? ”

Chen Feng forced the silver into him and said, "Don't mention this to others. Live in peace. With that, he waved his hand and left.

On the empty snow, the boatman who took the silver kept kowtowing in the direction Chen Feng left, and he couldn't afford it for a long time.
