Chapter 17: The Five Rivers

Wen Gu's bag is waterproof, but despite this, he still made several layers of protection to prevent the material from getting wet.

After coming out of the market, he walked to the passenger station and stepped on the bus at 5 o'clock. The seats are in the last row, two seats away. At dusk, he leaned against the window and looked at the Ascension City, like a tired giant elephant.

The car started slowly, and he suddenly interrupted his eyes in the blink of an eye, and a few drops of water were stained on the window. Just as he was about to leave, the heavy rain that had been suppressed for a day finally came.

There was nothing wrong with the weather forecast. The bus drove all the way out of the city, only to hear the rumbling of thunder and the increasing rain. Right at the entrance of the highway, there was already a mist outside, blurry.

"Wow!"

"Scratch!"

Wen Gu listened to the rain and was very worried. The other passengers also stopped talking, leaving only some whispers.

"Ding Dong!"

At this moment, the phone rang, but Jiang Xiaozhai called to greet him: "Do you want to get in the car?"

"Just left Shengtian, did you get off work?"

"I was getting ready to go downstairs. “

"Now is not the time to wait for the bus. The subway is more convenient. ”

"It's still early. I'll go to the park first. ”

"Where and why?" he said curiously.

"Of course, I went to pick the flowers. Auntie can't wait for me. ”

Yes.

Gucci immediately choked and didn't know what to return. Then, another one came: "Don't you think it's obscene to poke osmanthus in the rain?"

Good..

He fell to the ground and quickly typed three big words: "Sister, steady!"

Then there was no movement. About ten minutes later, the girl sent a photo of a pale yellow and pale laurel tree with moisture on it.

However, the hand with flowered branches is slender, well-proportioned, beautiful and powerful.

He suppressed a hint of surprise, a hint of longing, a hint of throbbing, and joked, "It's beautiful, but it can teach bad little pot friends." ”

"Then I donate trees and seedlings to the park, even if I regret it."

"Donate two trees, count me in one. “

"No, my own pot is back. Ah, don't you think that sentence you just said ......"

"Special routine!"

"Special routine!"

Gucci pursed his lips and pressed send. These three words appear on the screen at the same time. Then, a big yellow smiling face came.

The two of them chatted like this. Xiaozhai replied intermittently, sometimes fast, sometimes slowly.

Occasionally, he looks out and reluctantly observes the road section. At a normal pace, it takes four hours to reach the White City, but on rainy days it has to be slowed down, less than half of two hours.

Before you know it, the bus gets off the highway and starts walking along a country road, passing through some townships. After another ten minutes, the conductor shouted, "Five rivers have arrived, has anyone gotten off?"

"Yes!"

An old man stood up with a pocket in his hand and even met a beekeeper at the pharmaceutical market.

The Wudao River is another county-administered town, close to Baicheng, about 70-80 kilometers. When he got down, the car continued to move forward and quickly entered the mountains.

The sky was already dark, so black that it seemed to swallow everything, except for the faint glow of the headlights.

Xiaozhai has something to do. Gu Xi leaned back in his chair, a little sleepy. In a daze, I heard a "crunch" and the car stopped.

"What's going on?"

"Maybe there was a traffic jam. “

"Ouch, it's better not to get into a car accident. ”

During the discussion of the passengers, the driver went out for a walk and ran back and scolded: "The paralyzed front is blocked." I don't know what's going on. ”

Yes. They immediately complain bitterly about what they are afraid of.

But it is useless to shout. After waiting for a few minutes, someone knocked on the door and got on the bus, but it was a policeman in a raincoat. He clasped his hand and said, "Quiet." There is a landslide ahead and the road is blocked. Now this section of the road is very dangerous. In order to avoid casualties from the second landslide, all vehicles are now returning. ”

Well, the jar exploded in a word.

"It's almost there, let's go back!"

"That is, it's early in the morning. Where do you live?"

"Damn, today's thoughts are terrible!"

The quality of the police is very good, and they are not angry at all. "I understand everyone's feelings, but it's all for personal safety," he urged. Is it better for us to travel again and again than to be injured and killed? besides, now the roads are blocked and no one can pass. ”

In fact, everyone knows about it, but at the moment they can't accept it. After nagging for a long time, the police turned to the next car. The driver couldn't help but slam off his coat: "Okay, stop arguing! Do you still want to live in the mountains?"

As soon as the people spoke, the car stopped.

Soon, the police began to divert traffic and direct U-turns. The bus follows a sporty utility vehicle, and even the exhaust pipe is filled with intense resentment.

Gu Shi was also depressed, wondering where to deal with it at night. The cost of ascension is too high. Even small hotels have to pay 180 yuan. Why not go to an internet café all night?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a group of people in front of me. The lights were dim and full. He paused for a moment and asked, "Master, is there a hotel on the Five Rivers?"

"Yes, I've stayed before. The driver assured.

"Then park in front. “

"Aren't you going back to heaven?"

"It's too far. I could stay up all night. ”

"That's good. Where to get to White City faster. ”

The driver was friendly and pulled over to the side of the road after giving some instructions. Gucci jumped out of the car, and as soon as he opened the umbrella, he heard the sound of crackling and rapid fire.

What a man!

With his bag in his hand and an umbrella in one hand, he walked towards the town one foot deep and one foot shallow. Wudaohe is a small place with two streets on one side and one on the other. Most of the shops are closed, and only a few hotels are still lit.

The driver did not hesitate. He found a hotel, pushed the door in, and entered. The counter is one that can be looked up and there is a wooden bed at the back. A middle-aged woman is bored leaning on her bed watching TV.

"Is there a room?"

"Do you live alone?" the woman glanced at him.

"Hmm. ”

"40, 60, which one do you live in?"

"Can I take a look?"

“......“

The woman stiffened and picked up the key and went upstairs. Gu Shi pursed his lips and followed him to a room upstairs. The room was small, with two plank beds, a shabby TV, and no bathroom.

"Of the 40, the toilet is in the hallway, and 60 are still visible?" the woman asked.

He touched the futon, but not the tide. He said, "No, this is it." ”

$100 deposit, down to register.

"Oh"

After everything was done, Gu Yun returned to the house and locked the door. He checked the medicine first, but it was still dry.

He collapsed on the bed and turned on the TV one by one. He wanted to tell Xiao Zhai about his painful experience tonight, but then he thought about it, as if he wasn't close to this level yet.

The reason he came to live in Five Rivers was that he was reluctant to travel back and forth, and what he heard during the day made him curious.
