Chapter 26: A Cold and Rainy Night
"Master, I have to go back......" Ning Xiaofan said as he began to sort out his backpack.
"No, no, no!" Old Man Wang shook his head, and hurriedly said, "Xiaofan, it's not easy for you to come all the way here, why did you go back so quickly?" Even if you can't stay and drink the wine, why don't you have to eat and leave, I'll ask the broom star to prepare a meal......"
Ning Xiaofan was displeased when he heard Old Man Wang say what kind of broom star Shi Niang was, so he immediately got up and said: "Master, don't bother Shi Niang to cook, I really have something to do, I have to hurry back, this mountain road is not easy to walk, I can't go back when it's late......"
Saying that, Ning Xiaofan took out a bank card from his trouser pocket and handed it to Old Man Wang: "Master, this is my first point of mind, please accept it, the password is the same as what I told you last time, six zeros, you always want to change the password, just go to the bank......"
Although Ning Xiaofan was a little unhappy with Old Man Wang's inappropriate words, he did not forget his intentions.
"Ah, how can that work, how can it work......" Old Man Wang took the bank card with a polite expression in his mouth.
At this time, the joy in Old Man Wang's eyes could not be concealed, he had received a bank card from Ning Xiaofan, and there were 100,000 yuan in the card, he didn't know how much money was in this card, but it must not be less.
After Ning Xiaofan handed over the bank card to the old man, he fulfilled his intentions, and immediately said goodbye to the old man Wang, put on his backpack, and walked towards the door.
Old Man Wang stayed for a while, and when he saw that Ning Xiaofan had made up his mind, he was no longer reluctant, but he still got up to see him off very enthusiastically.
Out of the gate of Old Man Wang's house, Ning Xiaofan repeatedly asked Old Man Wang to stay, not letting him send him outside the village, and after persuading Old Man Wang, Ning Xiaofan said goodbye again, and then turned around and left.
Walking not far away, Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but glance back at the building of Old Man Wang's house. At this time, Old Man Wang had already returned to the house and did not see him. Ning Xiaofan sighed slightly in his heart, and was about to turn around and leave, when in a blink of an eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure revealing from the window on the second floor of Lao Wang's house.
Red sweater, delicate face, isn't that a teacher?
Ning Xiaofan's heart moved, staring at her, at this time, I saw Shi Niang leaning out of the window, and saw Ning Xiaofan standing not far in front of the building, her face was happy, and she followed, and saw her hand wave, and something came out of her hand.
The thing that was thrown out of his hand didn't go far, but it couldn't make a sound.
Ning Xiaofan turned his eyes and looked around, and when he saw nearly five people on the left, he hurriedly walked over in three steps and two steps, and reached out to pick up the things that Shi Niang threw on the ground.
Thrown on the ground was a clamshell cigarette case, which was slightly weighty, but it didn't feel like it contained cigarettes. Ning Xiaofan didn't rush to open the cigarette case, but looked up at the window on the second floor, and as far as his eyes could see, Shi Niang's figure had disappeared from the window on the second floor.
Ning Xiaofan waited in place for a while, but still didn't see the figure of the master, Ning Xiaofan's eyes flickered, and he quickly turned around and left.
When passing by the village, the children were about to run out and laugh around Ning Xiaofan for a while, but when they got out of the village, those children ran back to the village as soon as they slipped away, and they didn't mess around behind his ass anymore.
Leaving Qinglin Village, Ning Xiaofan walked along the shade of the forest for a while, and when he turned his head and saw that he couldn't see the entrance of the village, he stopped and took out the cigarette case that the master threw out of the window from his trouser pocket.
Opening the flip lid of the cigarette box, Ning Xiaofan took a closer look at the cigarette box, and saw that the cigarette box contained a small glass bottle, like a small bottle containing wind oil essence.
Ning Xiaofan casually poured out the small porcelain bottle from the cigarette case, and poured it out along with the small glass bottle, and there was a note. The small glass bottle really contained wind oil essence, and there was a strange smell of wind oil essence, but the small bottle was empty.
Looking at the small note again, Ning Xiaofan immediately understood that Shi Niang put this small bottle in the cigarette box to increase the weight of the cigarette box, so as not to throw it far.
Unfolded the note, and the beautiful words in the note came into view, which was the handwriting of the teacher.
There is not much content in the note, it reads: Xiaofan, I am Shi Niang, it is inconvenient to see you now. Please leave your contact information and address, and after you have kept it, put it in this cigarette case that I threw to you, and then put it under a broken stone tablet next to the grove on the east side of the village, I have something urgent to ask you for. “
The note was not signed, and it was not left behind, but this note was undoubtedly written by Shi Niang temporarily, and between the lines, Ning Xiaofan also felt her eagerness when writing this note......
………………………………………
The rain has been falling, dripping, accompanied by gusts of cold wind, making this early spring night a little more chilly to the bone.
At this time, Ning Xiaofan bowed slightly, facing the bleak rain and cold wind, and walked on the winding mountain road with difficulty.
The rain kept beating on his face, cold and uncomfortable!
Ning Xiaofan felt that he was very unlucky, in order to leave the back mountain before dark, after he left Qinglin Village, he hurried all the way, passing by the Peach Blossom Xiang Farmhouse without resting. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the back mountain and walked to the potholed mountain road, it suddenly began to rain heavily.
Looking around, there is still no place to hide from the rain, so I can only rush forward in the heavy rain. It was easy to find a recessed rock nest to hide from the rain, but he had been drenched in the heavy rain and wet inside and out, and he had become a soup chicken.
I don't know how long I've been waiting? The rain was only a little lighter, but the light rain continued and still stopped.
Ning Xiaofan shrank in a rock nest that could only accommodate one person, unable to raise the fire, and the soaked inner and outer clothes on his body could not be baked, cold and hungry, watching the sky gradually darken, and waiting, once the sky was completely dark, this potholed mountain road would not be able to walk.
Trapped on this tattered mountain road, Ning Xiaofan gritted his teeth, and didn't care that the rain was still falling, so he rushed out of the rock nest and ran towards the front mountain in the rain.
The mountain road is rugged, potholes, and the road conditions are already terrible, and when it rains, it directly forms a mud road, which is more and more difficult to walk.
When Ning Xiaofan entered the back mountain, it took less than 2 hours to walk this dilapidated mountain road, but it took more than 3 hours to walk this rain-soaked mountain road again, and when he arrived at the winding mountain road in Qianshan, the sky was completely dark.
The only consolation is that the road is smooth, and it is obviously much easier to walk than the potholed mountain road with cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other, and the rain is much lighter, turning into a drizzle.
However, the winding mountain road where Ning Xiaofan is now is still far away from Linyang County at the foot of the mountain......
Counting the time, Ning Xiaofan had already walked for an hour on this winding mountain road in the drizzle, and at this time, it was already more than 9 o'clock in the evening.
Ning Xiaofan walked all the way to the present, and encountered several passing cars, but the driver seemed to ignore his gesture of stopping the car, and he didn't even bother to step on the brake plate.
Ning Xiaofan was very depressed, could it really be that he really had to rely on these two legs, which were tired to soreness, to walk from this winding mountain road to the county seat?
Ning Xiaofan was already very tired, all over his body, even more soaked inside and out, but he couldn't stop to rest, because he knew what it meant to rest in such bad weather in this big mountain?
The night was getting deeper, the sky was dark, and he could barely see his fingers, Ning Xiaofan could only rely on his feelings, with difficulty, to carefully grope forward along the cliff on the side of the winding mountain road.
It would be nice to be able to catch a ride!
Ning Xiaofan took a heavy breath, while looking forward to the kind driver driving the car who could brake when he passed by, while dragging a slightly staggering pace to face the drizzle and struggle.
Suddenly, two dim headlights loomed ahead.
There's a car coming! Ning Xiaofan was in good spirits, and he didn't care about the car in front of him coming in the opposite direction of what he was going, facing the dim headlights, stretching out his arms, cocking his thumbs, and making a standard stop gesture.
At the moment, he just wanted to stop the oncoming car in front of him, hoping that the kind driver would stop and let him get into the warm cab.
There was a big truck coming in front of him, and the speed was not fast, but Ning Xiaofan was soon disappointed, the big truck not only did not stop, but also increased the throttle, making a piercing engine roar, whistling past.
Character! Ning Xiaofan sighed in frustration, what is wrong with these people now? Don't you see a person walking on the side of the road in the rain who needs help?
Ning Xiaofan was very helpless, there was no car, and he had to rely on two extremely tired feet to continue walking......
The wind was howling, the rain had not stopped, and there had been no sign of a vehicle passing by on this remote winding mountain road for a long time.
With the passage of time, Ning Xiaofan's mood also sank to the bottom with the increasingly bad weather, this winding mountain road is located in the scenic spot, there are few passing vehicles, so late, there should be no more passing vehicles, right?
Just when Ning Xiaofan's mood was extremely bad, there was a faint light that pierced the dark rainy night, to be precise, it should be the car lights shining from behind!
The mountain road is winding, the lights of the car are bright and dark, and there are still cars passing by at this time, which is already a miracle! A glimmer of hope rose in Ning Xiaofan's heart again.
Ning Xiaofan still made a thumbs up gesture, and his body moved a little closer to the middle of the road. However, he didn't dare to get too close, on this winding road, which is not wide, and the sight is extremely poor, the road surface is very slippery, the driving vehicle is extremely easy to slip out of control, too close to the middle of the road is definitely a very dangerous thing.
Ning Xiaofan really wanted to hitchhike, but he cared more about his little life, being cold and tired was better than being hit by a car that was easy to get out of control.
The bright and dim headlights turned around the corner, and the headlights stabilized, and the headlights were still a little dazzling through the drizzle.
