Passing through the farmstead, a narrow concrete road appears ahead, leading to the other side of the hill. Zhou Jie may also be tired, saying that walking along the cement road is the same, anyway, all roads lead to Beijing. However, seeing that the sky was getting dark and the road ahead was uncertain, I began to worry about staying for the night.

"There's no market nearby!" I glanced at the map on my phone and reminded everyone, "There is a mountain ahead, and there may not even be a village." ”

At this time, we realized how far this shortcut was, and if we couldn't find a homestay to stay overnight, we might have to spend the night in the wilderness.

And Zhou Jie not only did not give an explanation for the road he led, but complained about our squeamishness: "You people in the city are too spoiled, there is no place to live, you have no place to live, insist on walking all night, and you can get to Xishui the next day." ”

"You're sick!" I looked at him in amazement and asked, "Walk all night?" That's why you're partnered with us? ”

Wang Yuqing and Zhao Ziwu also suddenly sighed, and asked Zhou Jie: "It turns out that the shortcut is to go 24 hours a day!" You follow us with a dead face, just want us to walk with you at night? ”

In the face of our attack, Zhou Jie also raised his eyebrows angrily, and slapped his powerful fist on the suitcase: "Who is dead?" When you want a suitcase in a fight, why don't you say that I am dead-faced? …… Isn't it just a mistake, how big can it be? ”

"Misremembered? ......" Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't laugh or cry.

"Oh my God!"

Hu Shanshan clenched her fist and beat her forehead, glanced at the way she came, and was a little broken:

"It's impossible to turn back now, be optimistic about the direction and continue to walk east."

"Sister Shanshan, which side is East!"

Wang Yuqing looked around and saw that there seemed to be a building in the distance, so he stood on tiptoe and looked forward: "Is there a village over there?" I saw the house. ”

"It's not a village, it's a bridge pier that tells the road."

I found my location on the map on my phone and found that there was a highway not far ahead, and it was difficult to find the exact location of the village on the map.

At this time, we began to think about Zhou Jie's words, if we can really reach Xishui overnight, it is actually a good strategy. I don't want to wait until I get home and the Lunar New Year holiday is over.

Hu Shanshan walked up to Zhou Jie and asked patiently: "Zhou Jie, you said that if you walk all night, you will be able to get to Xishui tomorrow, and you said that you remembered the wrong way, which sentence is true?" ”

"It's all true." Zhou Jie was upright, and said with a serious face: "The road is indeed wrong, but the direction is right!" In terms of distance, we will be able to reach the cross-river bridge tomorrow night at most, and the bridge is on the other side of the river. ”

"You'd better not lie to us" I said to Zhou Jie solemnly, I wanted to say something cruel, but in the face of his 1.8 meter height, I couldn't help but feel a little weak. I think if I really want to turn my face, I'm afraid that Zhao Ziwu and I will not be able to beat him combined.

Zhou Jie's eyes widened and he couldn't say anything: "It must be true!" I know this place well, I ...... it when I was a child."

I'm afraid that Zhou Jie will talk about his past deeds again, so hurry up and let him stop. A few people briefly discussed it again, and with a twist of heart, they decided to go at night.

The weather was bad, the night was exceptionally dark, and I really couldn't see my fingers. In order to save the power of the mobile phone, everyone takes turns using the mobile phone for lighting, but even so, I still think that it will not last until dawn.

There is nothing terrible about walking at night, but what is terrible is walking in the deep mountains and wilderness. It's okay to have a road, but you don't know where to go when you don't. Moreover, Hu Shanshan and Wang Yuqing are not as physique as the three of us, if they really come down overnight, they will probably be scrapped the next day.

So we think too highly of ourselves, and we think too much about the ending, but the process is far more difficult than we imagined. At night, the vision is short, I thought I walked a long way, but in fact it was only a few hundred meters. When you stop and watch, you can't help but be discouraged.

It's been a long night, and it's been so painful! Later, I found that it was not practical, so I gave up. Under the bridge on the highway, find a clean and leeward place, simply clean up, find hay and light a bonfire.

I wanted to find a village to spend the night, but this method was not always possible. In this big New Year, who wants to accept us uninvited guests?

The snow fell a little heavier at night, and sitting by the fire, I saw snowflakes fluttering in the night sky illuminated by the fire. Wang Yuqian is still a child who pursues romance, and she is innocent, so she asked Zhao Ziwu to take her out to pick up snowflakes. Zhou Jie and I tried our best to add firewood to the fire, and searched for all the dead trees and wooden stakes that could be demolished in the surrounding area. With the fire, we started to bake our socks and socks, and we immediately felt a lot warmer.

I remember when I came and saw a vegetable patch, it seemed that there were turnips, and I could pluck a few of them and roast them.

When Wang Yuqing heard this, he shouted that he wanted to go with me, and he was about to collapse from hunger. Hu Shanshan said that we were funny, and we had never heard of radishes that could be roasted and eaten.

"And this is theft, you must not do it, be careful to stir up public resentment tomorrow and catch us in the streets."

I said, when people are hungry, how can they take care of these things? It's all about filling your stomach. As he spoke, he asked Zhou Jie to help take care of Hu Shanshan, pressed the phone, and ran out against the snowflakes.

This may be the first time in my life that I have been a thief, and I am still a little weak-hearted. I picked up a few radishes and ran back. But the road was slippery, and then one of them was planted in a dry ditch on the side of the road, and he fell into a golden flower.

When I walked back to the bridge cave covered in mud, I heard Zhao Ziwu and Zhou Jie arguing from a distance, and I suddenly felt bad!

"What's going on? I heard you arguing from afar! I threw the radish next to the fire, and saw Zhou Jie and Zhao Ziwu both holding their necks red, Wang Yuqing looked at it from a distance in fright, with a pair of innocent eyes.

Hu Shanshan squatted beside the fire and hugged her knees, staring at the bonfire with her eyes blankly, when she saw me covered in mud, her brows tightened and she asked, "Lu Xia, did you fall?" ”

"It's fine!" I waved my hand, picked up a piece of radish and walked between Zhou Jie and Zhao Ziwu, and said to them: "For the well-being of everyone, I ran to pull the radish, and it was like a special force, and I almost fell to death!" But the two of you have the leisure to quarrel here. Please, don't bring me the villagers. ”

Zhao Ziwu helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose, wanted to say something but held back, returned to Wang Yuqing and whispered, not knowing what he was muttering. Zhou Jie is a violent temper, his face is bulging, and he is scary when he looks at it.

When I saw that the conflict was relieved, I patted Zhou Jie on the shoulder and asked him what was going on?

At this time, Hu Shanshan raised her head: "When I was taking cold medicine just now, Manager Zhao said a joke, and the two of them quarreled. It's just a misunderstanding! ”

"Misunderstanding?" Zhou Jie jumped up and said to me: "Brother, it's not that I want to protect your girlfriend to quarrel with him, you didn't hear how ugly this person is!" Still scolding, what do you say this big man, spraying like a quail, how annoying! ”

"What did he say?" I'm a little curious.

Hu Shanshan shook her head secretly and didn't let Zhou Jie say. But Zhou Jie still couldn't swallow the anger in his chest, pointed at Zhao Ziwu and said: "He asked Da Shanshan to go by himself tomorrow, and he won't drive her, and he said ......"

I don't know exactly what happened at that time, why Zhao Ziwu said such a thing. And I can only listen to it as a joke now, I really can't imagine what Zhao Ziwu would do if he refused to take us to Anshi!

"Oh! Isn't that just a joke! Overdone bro. ”

I patted Zhou Jie on the shoulder to appease him, but I was very clear about my position. It's definitely not the time to turn his face with Zhao Ziwu in front of him, as long as he doesn't touch our bottom line, he can nag as much as he likes, anyway, he's such a person, cheap!

And just when we pressed Zhou Jie's arm and asked him to sit down and roast the radish, we heard Zhao Ziwu scolding on the side: "Unlucky billet, ...... with three stupid %&@*#*!" ”
