Three days later, Xiaobao returned to Hailin. He hesitated. Sixty miles to the northwest is Hengdao Hezi, and to the southwest is Huolonggou Village.

It is said that he should go back to Huolonggou Village to see Second Master Qi first, so as not to worry his old man. But when Fan Wengui went to Huolonggou Village before the Chinese New Year, he asked Xiaobao to find him after the New Year, and he should give Fan Wengui a New Year's greeting. Now that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed, it will be too late to go.

Thinking of this, Xiaobao decided to go to Hengdao Hezi first to pay Fan Wengui a visit to his old age and then return to Huolonggou Village.

Since you are going to pay New Year's greetings, you can't go empty-handed. Xiaobao wandered around Hailin Street for a while, buying two horses of silk and four bottles of sake. This sake is said to be made from Japan. It cost Xiaobao more than 200 yuan in total.

This little Japanese thing is expensive. Xiaobao muttered in his heart.

Xiaobao left the horse in the cart shop. He was looking for Fan Wengui to ask someone to do something, and he didn't want Fan Wengui to think that he was arrogant and frivolous, so it was better to keep his voice down.

There is a distance of dozens of miles between Hailin and Hengdao Hezi, and it is easy to find a carriage to Hengdao Hezi.

The owner of the carriage on Xiaobao was a young man in his early twenties. People are very talkative and even a bit talkative. Spit flew while driving the carriage. When he saw what Xiao Bao was holding, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Thanks to going to Hengdao Hezi, there are many people and carriages on the road." If you go to a remote place, I don't even dare to pull you. Why? You recruit a beard. As soon as the beard snatched me, he snatched me too. ”

I heard that Xiaobao came from Huolonggou Village, and he immediately looked like he knew Huolonggou Village well. also really said the names of a few people from Huolonggou Village. Speaking of Hailin and Hengdaohezi, he knows everything and knows everything.

"Big brother, what you said just now has only been driving the carriage for two or three years. From what you know, I thought you'd been driving the carriage for two or three hundred years. Xiaobao quipped.

"I was born and grew up in this Gada. My grandfather and my dad are both! You say I don't know much! The young man said seriously.

"Since you know so much, I'll ask you if you know if you know." Xiaobao said, "Do you know Fan Wengui? ”

"Who? Fan Wengui? Fan Wengui of the Railway Security Office? The young man exclaimed.

"Yes, that's him." Xiaobao said calmly.

"No, I don't know." When the young man heard Xiaobao's answer, he hurriedly denied it.

"Didn't you just say that Fan Wengui from the Railway Security Station?" Xiaobao asked.

"Don't know" the lad again denied it.

There was a sudden silence in the carriage.

"It can't be someone in your family who has an accident, right? Are you going to find him to dredge up? The young man couldn't help but turn his head and ask curiously for a long time.

"No, he's my uncle. I'm going to pay him a good old age. Xiaobao said.

"He's your uncle?" The young man exclaimed.

"Big brother, the two of us are quite close to each other. I'll be honest with you. Fan Wengui: I know. I mean, I know him, but he doesn't know me. Who doesn't know Fan Wengui in Hengdao Hezi. The policemen are ruthless, there are people locked up in the basement, and there are big wolf dogs in the yard. Who is not afraid in Hengdao Hezi. The lad said.

"Do you know where he lives?" Xiaobao asked.

"They all live in the wooden house where Lao Maozi used to live in the west of Hengdao River. Then the house is beautifully repaired. The lad said.

"Then can you pull me to Nagada?" Xiaobao asked.

"Okay! But I had to go when I turned around. The young man readily agreed.

As soon as the carriage entered the Hengdao River, the young man pointed to a small two-story building at the foot of the East Mountain in the distance and said, "Look, there is the railway security office. ”

Xiaobao knew that if he wanted to find Fan Wengui, of course he had to go to the railway security station to find it. But he couldn't swagger to the railway security station to find Fan Wengui with sake and satin, so he had to go to Fan Wengui's house to put down the gifts first.

Xiaobao is the first time to come to Hengdao Hezi, and his eyes are a little insufficient.

I saw rows of Russian-style houses neat and beautiful. The sound of the train in my ears is endless.

"That's the locomotive garage, that's where the old Maozi of the cathedral worships God." The young man introduced Xiaobao.

Suddenly, the lad pulled the carriage. He pointed forward with his hand, "Most of the people in the railway security station live there, you can go to those two rows of houses and ask around." ”

Xiaobao got out of the car, thanked him and walked towards the two rows of houses with the gifts. When I passed by a house, I saw a man in his early thirties looking into the courtyard, so he walked over and asked, "Lao Jia, do you know where Fan Wengui lives?" ”

The man looked Xiaobao up and down a few times and said angrily, "I don't know!" He turned and walked away.

Xiaobao glanced at the man strangely, took a few steps forward, met an old lady, and asked her where Fan Wengui's home was. The old lady pointed with her hand to the house that the man was looking at just now!

Xiaobao looked in the direction where the man was walking, but couldn't see anything.

"Anyone?" Xiaobao shouted while standing in front of the courtyard gate.

The door creaked open, and a woman with big eyes, a nose, and a round face walked out with a smile.

"Who's that for?" The woman asked.

"I'm looking for Fan Wengui and Uncle Fan. I'm here to give him a New Year's greeting. Xiaobao blushed a little when she was seen by a beautiful woman.

"He's in the railroad police station now, you can go there and find him." The woman was still smiling.

"I know it's something I honor him. You take it first, it's not convenient for me to take these things to him. Xiaobao said.

The woman opened the courtyard door empathetically and took the gift from Xiaobao's hand.

Xiaobao turned and walked away quickly. Walking out of the distance, the heart is still beating non-stop. looks so beautiful, I don't know if it's Fan Wengui's original wife or the wife of a friend who has hurt him. Xiaobao thought as he walked.

Xiaobao came to the door of the railway security station at the foot of Dongshan Jiao, "Is Fan Wengui here?" I am a relative of his. Xiaobao asked the policeman standing at the door with a smile.

"Wait," the policeman said, turning and going in.

"You tell him, my name is Xiaobao," Xiaobao shouted from behind.

After a while, Kung Fu Fan Wengui's figure appeared in front of Xiaolou's door, and his chubby face was not angry and arrogant. He first nodded to the policeman who was following behind, then turned his head and said with a smile: "Why did you come, I have been waiting for you for several days." Let's go home and have a couple of drinks. ”

On the way back, Xiaobao said, "Uncle Fan, you say it's not weird. Just now, when I was looking for where your house was, I met a person who was looking in front of your house, and I asked him where Fan Wengui's house was, and he actually said he didn't know! ”

"What does that guy look like?" Fan Wengui asked thoughtfully.

"Good looks! The man had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a rectangular face, showing talent. By the way, he still has a big back hair. The man was wearing a tweed coat, but it was dirty, and the black leather shoes had not been oiled for a long time, and they were almost visible to their true colors. Xiaobao said.

Fan Wengui suddenly stood up and smiled meaningfully.

"It's back," he said softly.

"Xiaobao, you wait for me here for a while, I'll go do something and come back immediately." After speaking, Fan Wengui turned around and walked quickly.
