Chapter 98: Riding in a car
After lunch, it means that Zhou Xing is really going to leave this small county town that he has not left for more than 20 years. At this time, Zhou Xing was reluctant and expectant. He wanted to see what the outside world was like, whether it was as good and beautiful as it was said on TV.
The bald head of Qiang's subordinates sent Zhou Xing and the four to the county East Bus Station, and after getting off the train, Sun He took the initiative to go to the ticket window to buy four tickets to the provincial capital.
The car departed at two o'clock in the afternoon, which is more than 20 minutes away. After the bald head sent his men away, the four of them sat in the waiting room and waited.
"Old man Sun, how long does it take to get from here to the provincial capital?" Zhou Xing felt that the four of them were sitting stupidly like four fools, and it was normal to find something to say.
Sun He replied: "Now it takes more than two hours to get there by highway, compared to four hours before. ”
"Oh, do you have to change trains when you get to the provincial capital?" Zhou Xing didn't believe that the Seven Stars Sect was on a famous mountain in the center of the provincial capital, and that would not be suitable for cultivating the hidden world.
Sun He nodded and said, "Well, I'm going to change trains." ”
Basically, Zhou Xing is asking, Sun He is answering, and the bald head Qiang and the gold medal fighter are loyal listeners, without interjecting, listening carefully to Zhou Xing and Sun He's questions and answers.
At about 2:10 a.m., the waiting hall finally sounded the announcement, saying that passengers arriving in the provincial capital should be ready, and the car had already entered the station.
Zhou Xing and the four of them didn't have any luggage at all, and they didn't need to make any preparations, as soon as they heard the announcement, the four of them immediately walked to the ticket gate and waited for the ticket to get on the bus.
The four of them picked a seat a little in front, Zhou Xing and the bald head sat together, and the gold medal fighter and his master Sun He sat together.
At 2:40, the car started slowly and drove out of the station. At this moment, Zhou Xing stared intently at the window and looked at the scenery, as if he wanted to remember every grass and tree in his hometown. The speed of the car became faster and faster, and the scenery on both sides of the road disappeared from Zhou Xing's sight like a passing cloud.
When the car is on the high speed, the speed is even faster. At this time, it was time to make lunch, and the people on both sides of the highway were smoking, although they couldn't smell the aroma of rice, Zhou Xing felt that it must be very fragrant and delicious.
As the car drove at high speed, Zhou Xing's mood became more and more uncalm. is leaving his hometown, and he is really going to leave this land where he was born and raised.
Although it is not that he will not come back, Zhou Xing's heart is still very uncomfortable at this moment, and the happy times at home keep coming to his mind. When I was a child, I went to the pond with my friends in the village to fish, went to the rice field to catch frogs, and went to the reservoir to swim without telling my grandparents, etc.
"Brother Xing, drink some water!" The bald head saw that Zhou Xing had been staring at the window since the car started, and he didn't say a word. Bald Qiang had also experienced such a scene, so he didn't bother Zhou Xing. But seeing that almost an hour had passed, Zhou Xing still stared out the window without saying a word. The bald head saw that it was not a way for Zhou Xing to go on like this, so he diverted Zhou Xing's attention in the name of drinking water.
Zhou Xing took his gaze back from the window, smiled and took the mineral water in the bald head's hand, unscrewed it and took two sips.
The bald head Qiang looked at Zhou Xing and said: "Brother Xing, I also went out to work after graduating from junior high school, and at that time, I was the same as you now, reluctant to be at home and reluctant to my parents." After the car started, I kept staring out the window, as if I wanted to remember every grass and tree in my hometown. After arriving outside, I felt even more homesick because I didn't adapt to the new environment. But after a long time, I got used to the outside life, and I no longer felt homesick. Sometimes I even feel that my actions at that time are so stupid. ”
Zhou Xing didn't know that Bald Qiang had also come to work outside, Zhou Xing always thought that Bald Qiang had been mixed in the county since he was a child, so he would have today's achievements.
"Since you worked outside, why did you go back later, is it because it's not good outside?" Zhou Xing asked.
The bald head laughed twice and said: "It's not that the outside is bad, but I was young and uneducated at the time, so I could only do the dirtiest and most tiring work, and the salary was not high." At first, I comforted myself that I would have enough money every month. But then I found out that my monthly salary was not enough for those rich people to eat a meal, not enough for a single piece of clothing on them. I felt like I couldn't go on like this, and I asked myself why they could be like this, and I couldn't be like this. Later, I quit my job and returned home, and under the guidance of a friend of mine who grew up playing, I got to where I am now, and where I am now. ”
When the bald head Qiang said the back, there was a proud and proud expression on his face. Also, a baby from the countryside, with only the first Chinese certificate, has now become the boss of his hometown county, with assets of tens of millions, and even the county magistrate and other big figures have to greet and shake hands with him when they see him. Although the bald head Qiang cannot be compared with world-class bull characters such as Bill Gates and Li Ka-shing, the story of the bald head Qiang can be regarded as a legend.
chatting with the bald head, Zhou Xing's mood was much better, and time passed quickly. Before you know it, the provincial capital has arrived.
After getting off the bus, Zhou Xing found that a bus station in the provincial capital was many times larger than the bus station in his own county.
Sun He led Zhou Xing and them to the bus stop on the other side of the bus station and got on the No. 28 bus.
After getting on the bus, Zhou Xing asked Sun He, "How long will it take to arrive?" ”
Sun He smiled and said, "It's still early?" I'll have to change trains later. ”
Depend on! Hearing Sun He's words, Zhou Xing scolded, where is this Seven Star Sect where birds don't, and they have to change cars, so wouldn't it be night when they get there.
Although Zhou Xing scolded his mother, he couldn't help it, who told himself to get on the thief ship and became the head of the Seven Star Faction. Even if the Seven Star Sect is in the primeval forest, I'm afraid I will have to go in.
The fare is still paid by Sun He alone, although the roads in the provincial capital are wide, there are many cars and red street lights. Therefore, the speed of the bus is naturally not as fast as the speed of the shuttle bus at home. You must know that there is not a single traffic light on the national highway from Zhou Xing's home to the county seat for more than 20 miles, and it is really unimpeded all the way.
The bus stopped and stopped, and Zhou Xing looked at the scenery outside the window with great interest at first, but then Zhou Xing fell asleep in a daze. I don't know how long it took, but I was woken up by the bald head and said I got out of the car.
Zhou Xing rubbed his eyes, and followed the bald head Qiang and them out of the car in a daze. After getting out of the car for a while, Zhou Xing's head came to his senses.
Zhou Xingda looked around, this is a small bus stop, and the location in the field is relatively remote.
"I said, Old Man Sun, how long will it take to arrive! It's not too early. Zhou Xing looked at the sun in the sky, and it was about to set at this moment.
Seeing that there was no one around, Sun He said with a smile: "Master, it's almost there, it's still an hour's drive." ”
Zhou Xing originally wanted to say a few words about Sun He, the old man, but seeing the smile on his face, Zhou Xing swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, not to mention that this is not Sun He's fault, and if you want to blame, you can only blame the patriarch of the Seven Star Sect.
The four of them waited for about twenty minutes, and finally waited for the car that went to the Seven Star Sect. This car is not a bus, but the same as the shuttle bus in Zhou Xing's house, which is a little shabby, and the seats in the car are old and dirty, and there is no air conditioning.
After getting into the car, an obese woman came over and asked, "Where are you going?" The tone was very indifferent, as if Zhou Xing owed her money, compared with the conductor on the No. 28 bus just now, it was a world of difference.
Sun He was obviously used to it, and with a smile, he took out the money and gave it to the sturdy female conductor.
