According to the information provided by the GPS navigation map, one of the supply stations they can reach today is NJ County, which is located more than 200 kilometers north of Qiqihar, Xu Xiaobai is expected to arrive in NJ County before noon, where he will continue to travel after resting. However www.biquge.info as soon as he hit the road, he found that he was too optimistic, and it was snowing for both days, and although it did not fall much, the snow lasted for a long time, forming a thin layer of frost on the national highway. The sun finally came out today, but the frost had no intention of melting.

Anyone who drives knows that if the snow is very large, then the road can actually be driven slowly without major problems, but if the snow is small and forms a layer of frost, it is actually more slippery than the real heavy snow, and the car can only move forward slowly at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, and there is a danger of sliding a little faster.

Xu Xiaobai held the steering wheel steadily, trying to keep the speed of the car as fast as possible within the safety permit, but it was still too slow. Fortunately, Land Rover's grip is okay, and his car is still a little faster than the other cars he occasionally sees along the way. Xiaoqing kept snorting and rubbing her little hands in the passenger seat, it seems that the weather has become colder after the snow, and it must be below zero now.

Xu Xiaobai turned on the air conditioner in the carriage and blew out a warm breeze, Xiaoqing glanced at him gratefully, put his hand on the air outlet, and warmed it carefully. Xu Xiaobai saw that the tip of her nose was red from the cold, and she couldn't bear it, so she exchanged a pair of cotton gloves for her to put on her hand, and a pair of leather driving gloves for herself, as well as a pair of sunglasses, because the surrounding snow was too dazzling under the sun, wearing this pair of sunglasses could make his eyes more comfortable. His eyesight is beyond ordinary people, and his sense of color is more acute than that of ordinary people, and the probability of this legendary snow blindness is much higher for him.

After driving like this for an hour, Xu Xiaobai saw that he had only driven out less than 40 kilometers, and he was a little anxious, and he happened to pass by an auto repair shop, he decisively pulled over and stopped the car, and told Xiaoqing not to move, and he got out of the car.

The façade of the auto repair shop is very small, and there is not even a signboard, and the reason why Xu Xiaobai recognized this store is because the boss used soot to write three crooked black characters on the wall of the auto repair shop. The boss was squatting on the ground basking in the sun, and when he saw such a car stopped next to his shop, he knew that business was coming, and he didn't get up too much, so he looked up at Xu Xiaobai: "Boss, what do you need?" ”

Xu Xiaobai frowned and glanced at the store, not knowing if there would be anything he needed in such a humble store, and said: "The road is slippery, the tires of the car are not good, do you have snow chains?" ”

The shopkeeper stood up slowly and shouted, "Our shop is small, but everything is complete, you wait." Saying that, he got up and entered the house, but after a while, he came out with a bunch of chains, Xu Xiaobai's brows furrowed even more, and he said in his heart Although I want snow chains, it is not a real iron chain, but an auxiliary equipment specially used to drive on the snow, is your boss a professional car repairer, how can you really take out such a bunch of iron chains to deal with yourself?

The boss knew what he was thinking when he looked at him, and explained unhurriedly: "I have been working in an auto repair shop here for many years, and the ancestral craftsmanship, you can rest assured, it is absolutely spectrum." To be honest, those snow chains sold on the market, known as professional anti-slip, are actually not easy to make at all, but my experience accumulated from decades of practice, self-developed snow chains, than their ISO, SOS certification is much stronger, don't believe you try. As he spoke, he began to walk around Xu Xiaobai's car, thinking about how to tie this pile of chains to the tires for him.

Xiaoqing was curious when she saw it in the car, and couldn't help but follow it, standing in the sun, and watching with Xu Xiaobai how the shop owner installed snow chains on this Land Rover.

The shopkeeper circled around the car for three weeks, and it seemed that he had a certain number in his heart, and began to unhurriedly put chains on Xu Xiaobai's car. The method is very simple, wrap the chain along the wheel hub back and forth several times, and finally the surface of the entire tire is wrapped with seventeen or eighteen iron chains, the boss will break the two ends of the chain, and the two heads will be screwed together in the hub, and then welded with a welding rod.

Xu Xiaobai saw that the boss was working meticulously, but his hands and feet were too slow, so he couldn't help urging behind, but the boss said: "Young man, be careful to make the Wannian boat, you are driving, not walking, you are safe if the car is safe, I will work slowly, you can walk faster." ”

"How much can I drive in my car after you're done like this?" This is the issue that Xu Xiaobai is most concerned about.

"It's okay to drive to 60, but if you're brave, it's okay to drive to 80." The boss talks while working. Xu Xiaobai nodded, as long as he could drive to 80, it didn't matter if he waited a little longer. The so-called sharpening knife does not mistake the woodcutter.

It will be an hour, the boss finally got all four tires, and wrapped a chain around Xu Xiaobai's spare tire, then turned around and asked Xu Xiaobai for money, he offered 800, Xiaoqing naturally played a consistent style of picking the door, and bargained with the boss in a strong Northeast dialect, as soon as the boss heard her accent, the price immediately dropped by two hundred, and said enthusiastically: "You girl turned out to be from the old forest, this accent is really authentic." I won't tell you more, you give me six hundred, and you leave. ”

Of course, Xiaoqing would not give up so well, and grinded the boss to drop another hundred, which made Xu Xiaobai pay the money and leave. Xu Xiaobai got into the car, Xiaoqing was about to get in the car, and the boss whispered behind her: "The girl is so blessed, this young man is reliable at first glance, are you going back to your hometown to see your parents?" ”

Xiaoqing's ears were red when he said it, and she hurriedly coped with two sentences and got into the car. Xu Xiaobai looked at her a little strangely: "You are very cold, your ears are red from the cold, I said earlier that you should stay in the car and not go down." ”

Xiaoqing didn't speak, urging him to hurry up. Xu Xiaobai started the car, walked out of the distance, and saw the boss waving vigorously at the door of the store from the rearview mirror. Xu Xiaobai was strange in his heart, he said that he was just adding a snow chain to him, how did he feel that this boss was reluctant to give up on himself, and then he figured it out, this boss must be aiming at Xiaoqing's face, just now he said that Xiaoqing's accent is from the old forest, it seems that this boss may be very close to Xiaoqing's hometown.

"Do you Northeast people still speak with accents?" He always thought that the Northeast dialect was completely the same taste.

Xiaoqing looked at him like an idiot: "Of course it's accented, the three eastern provinces are such a large area, although the way of speaking is similar in general, but there are many, many kinds of subdivisions." Our Xing'anling accent is unique, and if I don't hide it, if I speak our hometown, I guess the people in Shenyang won't understand it. ”

Xu Xiaobai has no research on Chinese dialects and has no intention of saying more on this matter. He increased his horsepower, and the car rumbled to 80, this boss is really good at work, this car has no signs of skidding on the road, it is because of the chain, the tires are always sloppy, as if sitting on a tractor.

Xiaoqing gently lifted half of her injured buttocks, and pressed her whole weight on the other half of her intact buttocks, for fear of being implicated in the wound by this bumpy posture.

The two drove out like this for two or three hours, and finally arrived in NJ County, although they had been mentally prepared for the area north of Qiqihar before, Xu Xiaobai still felt uncomfortable when he saw NJ County with his own eyes, this place was too broken.

The main road runs through the center of the county, and there are no decent roads other than that. Xu Xiaobai paid close attention to the observation, and saw that there were bacon and vegetables drying at the door of the houses on both sides, and he had heard that because of the long winter in the Northeast region, the temperature was close to or even below zero most of the time, so the people directly used the place at the door as a natural refrigerator, and everything was piled up at the door to ensure that it would not be bad in a winter.

Xiaoqing also said so, listen to her, when she was young, the family would wholesale popsicles in winter, one by one at the door, some people in the village passed by the door, directly from the popsicle pile to pick a popsicle to eat, the family did not care, the village is like this, the folk customs are simple and interesting. The popsicle later became famous throughout the country, and the name was called Tohoku Oban, which is said to be a simplified version of the madir popsicle.

Xu Xiaobai listened to her tell the story of her hometown, and wanted to arrive in the Xing'anling area as soon as possible. The two found a restaurant next to the main road that looked fairly formal and had a lunch. The owner of the shop saw that the car was from other places, and couldn't help but take a few more looks, the people in the small place are always very enthusiastic, and the boss said to Xu Xiaobai when he served the food: "Dude, your car is not cheap, it's a pity to come to our place, and if you go north, your car will be useless." ”

Xu Xiaobai hurriedly asked the reason, it turned out that if he went further north, the road conditions began to become very difficult, especially after entering the Linhai Snow Field, the place was full of thick snow, and a car like Xu Xiaobai could not pass at all. The locals like to use the sidecar three-wheeler, it is said that it is still the antique goods of the former Soviet Union, the things made by Lao Maozi are stupid and stupid, they are all running for a hundred years, these antique cars are still running to this day, I have to say that the fighting nation is awesome. Further inside, even the sidecar could not be used, and the locals still used the most primitive dog-drawn climbing plow.

Xu Xiaobai thanked the boss for his guidance, but he still felt a little exaggerated in his heart, so he turned his head and asked Xiaoqing about the situation, Xiaoqing thought about it carefully, and said: "When I was young, I really didn't see anyone in the family driving a car or motorcycle, everyone went out by horse-drawn carriage, or the kind of dog pulling the plow that the boss said, but after so many years, I really don't know what the situation is now, I haven't been back, maybe the road has been built at home." ”

Xu Xiaobai didn't think so, even if the highway was built, but in the Linhai Snow Field, it would fall a lot of snow in a year, and it was estimated that most of the roads were covered with ice and snow.

It seems that I really can't drive far in this car.
