Looking at the call, Ning Fan was slightly surprised, this call was from Xiaobai.

"Xiaobai, do you have something to do with me?" Ning Fan still answered the phone.

"Are you in Haicheng?" Xiaobai asked straight to the point.

"I'm getting ready to go." Ning Fan didn't hide it, but he muttered secretly in his heart, could it be that Zhao Qingxue is really here?

"The eldest lady is here." Xiaobai's voice was a little low, as if he was worried about being heard, "Do you want to see her?" ”

"Is she looking for me?" Ning Fan was a little puzzled.

"It's not." Xiaobai immediately denied it, "If the eldest lady really has something to look for you, she will call you herself." ”

"Then can you just tell me what you want me to do?" Ning Fan didn't understand Xiaobai's intentions.

"I want you to take the initiative to come to the eldest lady." Xiaobai whispered: "Of course, this is my personal meaning. ”

"I'm sorry, Xiaobai, I said, I don't want to have anything to do with her." Ning Fan refused directly.

"Ning Fan, I won't force you, but do you really think that you and the eldest lady will never meet again?" Xiaobai's tone was a little strange, "You should understand that the contact between you and the eldest lady is already increasing. ”

"There are some things that I can't control, but I think I can at least control myself and not take the initiative to find her." Ning Fan said lightly: "Xiaobai, you helped me, and I thank you very much, but I won't go to her." ”

"Ning Fan, if the eldest lady is in danger one day, will you come to save her?" Xiaobai was silent for a while, and then asked the question.

"Let's wait until she's in danger." Ning Fan said lightly: "Xiaobai, I'm going back to Qingyun City, my girlfriend is still waiting for me to go back." ”

"Okay, I'll still say that, looking forward to the day when you and the eldest lady meet." Xiaobai didn't dwell on it, and hung up the phone after speaking.

Ning Fan frowned slightly, but muttered in his heart, what does Xiaobai mean? Could it be that Zhao Qingxue will be in danger?

The taxi stopped, but it had already arrived at its destination, Ning Fan shook his head, decided not to think about it, paid and got off, and Ning Fan walked to the ticket office of the bus station.

Half an hour later, Ning Fan got on the bus to Qingyun City, from Haicheng to Qingyun City, it was about three hundred kilometers, but because there were many mountain roads, it couldn't be driven too fast, and the shuttle bus usually took about five hours to arrive before, and it was generally faster to drive by himself, about four hours, but after the collapse of the Wanzhuling Tunnel, now even if he drives himself, it will take almost five hours.

Thinking that he would have to sit in the car for about six hours to get home, Ning Fan secretly sighed, it was better to ride a motorcycle by himself, the last time he rode home, even if he carried Ye Rou and Wuyi, he didn't ride too fast, it only took about three hours, if he was alone, it was estimated that it would only take two hours at the earliest.

Of course, the helicopter was the fastest, and when he came yesterday, it only took about an hour.

The car left the station at half past seven, Ning Fan leaned on his seat and began to close his eyes to recuperate, the six-hour journey was indeed a bit long.

"Ning Fan?" Shortly after the car started, a tentative voice suddenly came from the side.

When Ning Fan opened his eyes, he saw a man and a woman sitting on the seats on the other side of the aisle, both of whom were not very old, but the man was quite fat, while the woman looked very petite.

"...... are you" Ning Fan looked at the fat man and felt a little familiar, and after a while, he remembered, "Wang Xiang?" ”

"Haha, yes, yes, Ning Fan, it's really you." The fat man laughed, "I thought I recognized the wrong person, this is a coincidence, you are also going home for the holidays?" ”

"yes, go home for the holidays." Ning Fan nodded, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and he can indeed be said to be going home for the holiday.

"So do we." Wang Xiang nodded, and then asked, "Are you alone?" ”

"Well, a person." Ning Fan and Wang Xiang are actually not familiar with each other, the two are junior high school classmates, and then Wang Xiang studied vocational high school for two years, and then ran out to work, and after that, the two never met again.

"Didn't find a girlfriend?" Wang Xiang smiled, "Do you want to play for a few more years?" I'm settled, by the way, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend Jiang Qin, Jiang of the river, the piano of the piano, she really plays the piano well. ”

The petite girl smiled at Ning Fan, even if it was a greeting, Ning Fan also smiled in return.

Along the way, Wang Xiang talked a lot and kept chatting with Ning Fan, but basically, Wang Xiang was talking about his own affairs, and Ning Fan also roughly understood that Wang Xiang had mixed really well over the years, when he first went to the factory as a general worker, and then slowly became a factory manager, and then, he opened a small factory by himself, and over the years, the small factory began to get bigger, and Wang Xiang was also a small boss with a net worth of tens of millions.

When the car had already driven to Wanzhuling, Wang Xiang seemed to finish his story, and then asked Ning Fan: "By the way, Ning Fan, what are you doing now?" I went back to my hometown two years ago, and I heard that you were a policeman in the city, but now that you are back from the provincial capital, have you changed jobs? ”

"I'm not a police officer anymore, I'm doing security now." Ning Fan said casually, he actually didn't want to chat with Wang Xiang, because in the past few hours, he had already felt the strong sense of superiority between Wang Xiang's words.

"Be a security guard?" Wang Xiang's eyes seemed to flash with a trace of disdain, and then he looked a little surprised, "Ning Fan, why did you run to do such a thing?" You used to be a police officer, you were a good civil servant, although you didn't have much money, but the benefits were good, and you were also an iron job. ”

Shaking his head, Wang Xiang continued: "If you want me to say, I was fortunate not to go to college at the beginning, it is really useless to study these days, many college students can't find a job after graduation, just like you, your grades were so good at the beginning, I heard that you were also admitted to Haicheng University, but after graduation, you can only be a security guard, it is better not to study." ”

"It's still useful to read." Ning Fan smiled faintly.

"What's the use? I don't think, look at my girlfriend Jiang Qin, she is also a college student, but in the end she didn't go to our factory to be a clerk? Wang Xiang seemed disapproving, "I actually feel that I have studied too much, if I go out after graduating from junior high school, maybe I will have a net worth of hundreds of millions now, and I will delay the opportunity to make money for two years." ”

Ning Fan was silent, he didn't want to argue with Wang Xiang, there was no point, there are always some people in this world who can get rich without reading, and there are also some people who read a lot of books but can't support themselves, the problem is that special cases can never represent the general situation.

In fact, Ning Fan doesn't think that people who study and make a lot of money must be nouveau riche, in the final analysis, everyone has their own strengths, some people are suitable for studying, and some people are suitable for business.

Success deserves respect, but showing off is unnecessary.

"Huh? Odd? How did the car get here? Isn't that the old way? Wang Xiang realized that something was wrong at this time, "Why don't you go through the tunnel?" ”

"The tunnel collapsed and now it can't be opened." Ning Fan still explained.

"Collapsed? Small places just can't do it, do this kind of tofu scum project. Wang Xiang shook his head and sighed, "Fortunately, I didn't drive back, otherwise I really can't drive this road, I'm used to driving the big roads in the big cities outside, and I can't get used to this kind of mountain road at home." ”

"I'll get used to it after a few more drives." Ning Fan said casually.

"Forget it, this small place is not suitable for me, fortunately, I rarely come back anyway, and I will definitely live outside in the future." Wang Xiang shook his head, "Ning Fan, to be honest, although being a security guard is not a good job, I think it's better to be a security guard in Haicheng than to be a policeman in Qingyun City. ”

The car suddenly jolted, and Wang Xiang immediately complained again: "Look, can Qingyun City develop this kind of road?" It's all said, if you want to get rich and build roads first, just this kind of road, who wants to travel to Qingyun City? To put it nicely, it's a tourist city, but if it's not good, Qingyun City is a poor ravine, and it's not as good as an urban village in a big city outside. ”

"Wang Xiang, no matter what, Qingyun City is also your hometown, there is no need to belittle your hometown like this, right?" Ning Fan finally couldn't help it, he actually had a lot of feelings for Qingyun City, he returned to Qingyun City as a policeman after graduation, not just because he wanted to live a low-key life, but because he really liked Qingyun City.

How can this be said to be demeaning? I'm being realistic. Wang Xiang disagreed, "Besides, I don't regard this place as my hometown, if it weren't for my parents' reluctance to go out, I wouldn't come back, this time I came back to make it clear to my parents, if they don't go out, then I won't come back." ”

Ning Fan suddenly lost all interest in continuing to talk to Wang Xiang, so he simply closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The car continued to move slowly in the bumps, and the road on Wanzhuling was indeed not very easy to walk now, although some people were repairing it, but it was not a day or two to make the road better.

After a bumpy moment, the car suddenly stopped.

"Why did it stop?"

"Master, why do you park? I'm still waiting for me to eat. ”

"It's so hot......"

Everyone asked questions, and then finally got an answer from the driver, and the car turned off.

The driver got out of the car to check for a while, and finally told everyone that the car was broken and would not be repaired for a while.

"What then?" Everyone is anxious, the car is parked in the middle of the Wanzhuling mountain at the moment, it has entered June, and now it is almost noon, the weather is very hot, there is air conditioning when the car is on, this stop, everyone is a little unbearable.

"I called the company, and the company will send a car to pick us up, but even if it is sent from Qingyun City, it will take two or three hours, and everyone can only wait." The driver also looked helpless, "If you see a passing car and can hitchhike, that's your ability, but it's best to pay attention to safety." ”

"Isn't there a bus over there? Can you borrow it? Wang Xiang pointed not far away, and everyone followed and found that there were really a few buses parked on the side of the road.
