Chapter 20: The Sweetest Journey

It's nightfall.

Across the big iron gate of the school, under the supervision of the security guard, Ma Haowen was expressionless and handed his son the same toiletries. In the end, it was the globe that had been through the vicissitudes of life.

Ma Fei returned to the dormitory with everything in his arms, and sat on the bunk without sleep, just in a desperate daze. Director Yan's flashlight would pass through the window every once in a while, making him feel like a criminal more than ever.

"My Flying Leopard! My fighter! Fighter! ......" Ma Fei's heart cried, "it's all over!" ”

"Lights out." The loudspeaker shouted angrily. At the sound of the military horn, the lights of the entire building went out.

The moonlight is projected on the globe, and there is a different kind of light.

Early the next morning, Director Yan walked in the teaching building with a spring breeze on his face.

All the instability has been eliminated by him, and everything is under control! He was very satisfied.

Walking through the back door of the sixth class of the first year of junior high school, Director Yan routinely glanced at the side of the "Yan Gong Cave", and was about to leave, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly took a closer look-

Looking through the hole, where is the real classroom? It was clearly a photo of a classroom full of people. Director Yan opened the back door, tore off the photo posted at the entrance of the hole, and turned his head to look inside the room.

"What's going on? What about Ma Fei? Who saw the horse fly? ”

The classmates all turned to look at him and shook their heads in unison. Teacher Xiao Gao walked into the classroom with teaching aids, and he was also surprised.

Director Yan felt a rush of heat rush up his head, and he hated the feeling of something slipping out of his clenched iron fist. You're in control! There can be no mistakes! No way......

He rushed to the gate, called out to the black bear and white wolf, and the three of them climbed up to the dormitory building as fast as they could, kicked open the door of the first year boys' dormitory, and rushed in.

The dormitory was curtained and dimly lit, and a humanoid figure was sleeping on Ma Fei's bunk. Director Yan ripped off the quilt, revealing the pillow rolled up inside and the high bulging mattress.

Teacher Xiao Gao, who came in closely, looked at Director Yan in surprise: "Didn't you personally check the room last night?" ”

The muscles on Director Yan's face twitched involuntarily.

What happened last night?

Ma Fei sat on the bunk, holding the globe in a daze. The moonlight is projected on the globe, and there is a different kind of light.

In the moonlight, he suddenly noticed that the coastline on the east side of Africa was distorted - no, the globe had been opened! He carefully unscrewed the shaft connecting the poles, and a small note fell out of the globe. Unfold the note, it's a road map!

Ma Fei's heart pounded, and the hope that had been extinguished began to burn again.

He quickly and silently rolled out of bed, opened the door, and crept along the wall of the hallway. Director Yan's flashlight was spinning upstairs, and in two minutes, he would be back here.

Ma Fei sped to the end of the hallway, where there was an iron door with an iron lock hanging from it. His heart sank, and he tried hard to pull the door, but he couldn't open it, and fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on the door of his head.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and carefully studied the iron lock by the moonlight, only to find that the lock was hanging on the void, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but also a little puzzled. With Director Yan's rigor, all the passages will be locked tightly, how can this gap be left?

It doesn't matter so much! He gently pushed the door open, dodged out, and ran briskly to the high walls of the school.

In the stairwell of the dormitory building, there was a slender figure with a ponytail, and she watched the horse fly away, and a subtle smile appeared on her face.

Ma Fei took out the thick gloves from his backpack - the toiletry bag his father handed him was a bag containing all the tools he might need - and climbed up to the top of the wall with the help of debris and garbage piled up in the corners of the high wall. The big wolfdog leashed outside the security guard smelled something strange and stood up and barked wildly. He grabbed a handful of dog food from his bag and sprinkled it accurately, and the dog's barking immediately turned into a purring of food.

He climbed over the wall and jumped slightly. In the darkness, a pair of large hands caught him steadily.

"Daddy!"

The eastern sky began to light slightly, and the long night was about to pass. In the field, father and son rushed towards the light ahead. The madman crawled out of his habitat and clapped his hands and shouted, "Come on! Come on! All right! ”

There is no doubt that it was the sweetest journey of Ma Fei's life.

Dad took him to a lot of places that he had only seen in books and on TV in the past. They walked many, many roads, met many, many people, and ate many, many delicious foods.

For the first time in his life, Ma Fei took a train to see the outside of the mountain. It turns out that not all mountains are as steep as Dongling Mountain, and not all rivers are as turbulent as Dongpei River. The old layers of mountains also come to an end, and they turn into low hills, then into flat fields and bustling cities.

Outside the car window, he kept passing terrain, trees, and houses that he had never seen before, one completely strange world after another. The world inside the window is just as new, with travelers from all over the world speaking different dialects, but just sitting down in a green leather seat is like forming a makeshift family.

They shared small packets of peanuts, white wine and home-cured dried fish; They chatted loudly, talked about all sorts of strange things, and repeatedly promised that they had seen it with their own eyes. Pulling out a crumpled deck of playing cards from your luggage will be warmly welcomed, and the entire carriage will immediately be thrown into a fierce fight, and in the course of the duel, you will have a chance to play different cards in different parts of the country.

Most of the time, Ma Fei didn't understand what the adults were saying, but their conversations were so interesting! In any textbook, there is no such vivid language and vivid face in any classroom. It's so fascinating!

The father and son took a train, a boat and then a long-distance bus for several days, and finally came to Nanhai City.

The day they arrived, it was already the last day of the air show.

The two of them got off the long-distance car, stretched out greatly, and moved their tired muscles. As far as the eye can see, there are promotional materials for the air show pasted everywhere. Ma Fei looked at his father excitedly, Ma Haowen squeezed his eyes at him, and took out a small old-fashioned Kodak camera from his backpack.

They took three full volumes of photographs. Some of these photos were successful, and most of them were failures.

Tickets for the air show have long been sold out, but this kind of trivial matter cannot stump Engineer Ma.

He pulled his horse and flew to the top of a hill.

"Come here. Fast. This is the best vantage point. ”

In the air, fighters are performing in formation. Father and son tilted their heads back as much as they could, covering their ears.

Ma Fei will never forget the moment when the Flying Leopard fighter roared overhead. At that moment, his ears were buzzing, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze.

He thought that one of the questions his father had asked him, and it seemed to have an answer!

On the return train, Ma Haowen stared at his son and smiled proudly.

There was a joyful silence on Ma Fei's face, and it would only be when a person understood why he existed and how he should spend each day in the future.

He couldn't imagine why he had been willing to sleep in the fields rather than study a few months ago, and how irritable he had felt when he had been aimless doing nothing! But now, his heart is full and calm.

This calmness allowed him to be at ease even in the harsh environment - the train they were on was extremely crowded, the seats were overcrowded, the luggage racks, the aisles, the places where they could get off their feet were crowded with people, and the air was filled with the smell of stinking.

Ma Fei tried to straddle some people's heads and some people's legs, and squeezed in the direction of the toilet. From a distance, there are two old ladies sitting in the toilet with large bamboo baskets on their backs. He had no choice but to turn back in a daze.

"Dad, the toilet is full of people."

The train stopped.

Ma Haowen looked out the car window: "Can't help it?" Well...... There's only one way. ”

The passengers near the window passed Ma Fei out of the window like passing torches. As soon as he hit the ground, he ran to the hiding place. Ma Haowen was caught in the depths of the aisle, and could only barely stretch his neck and shout out the window:

"Hurry up. It's only five minutes from this station. ”

Sitting next to the window was a black-faced man like Li Kui, playing poker with a lean middle-aged man sitting across from him, but he seemed to have poor skills and pasted a note all over his face. Next to him sat his son, who seemed to be carved out of a mold, black and sturdy, and was now concentrating on dealing with a roast chicken.

The black-faced man glanced at Ma Haowen and said enviously: "Your son is really a smart baby." With a little effort along the way, I read books and learned by myself. It's not like me, stupid as a pig. ”

His son looked up from the chicken rack and retorted angrily: "You are the pig." ”

"Look at the elder brother of the family, he must be a good student. Which is like you, you know how to eat, but you don't know how to study......" The big man pulled down his face, slapped his son on the head, and came back to look at the cards and was happy, "Hey, don't move, catch your king!" Hahaha. ”

Ma Haowen saw it interestingly, couldn't help but smile slightly, and suddenly felt that his body shook, and the train suddenly started slowly.

He was in a hurry, and jumped to pick up the windows, but he couldn't open even a few windows.

Finally finding an open window, he poked his head out and shouted in the direction of the front of the car, "Hey, there's still someone!" ”

The voices were boiling, the whistle sounded, and the conductor could hear it.

Ma Fei came out of the bushes and was stunned when he saw the train moving.

Ma Haowen hurriedly waved to his son: "Ma Fei...... Son! Son! Stand still, wait for me to come back, stand still......"

"Dad? Father? Ma Fei began to run after the train. But the train went faster and faster, and soon disappeared at the end of the tracks.

Ma Fei stopped his steps in a daze and stopped on the platform.

A bolt of lightning pierced the clouds, and a torrent of rain poured down.
