Chapter 43: The Gate
Mao Zi drove the car, and the car swayed on the official road. Song Jinfei was sitting by the car door, holding a book in his hand, and was asking Gu Tong to tell him what was written in the book.
Young people in their twenties or so, they still hold enlightenment books like "Kindergarten Learning" in their hands. Bao Yan felt funny when he saw that Song Jinfei was a good man, but his face was flushed with a few words.
Zhangzhu glanced at her, and Bao Yan stopped laughing, and whispered to Zhangzhu: "Brother Zhu'er has long stopped reading "Kindergarten" when he is only six or seven years old, and I heard that he is going to start reading "Analects". ”
Fu Quan didn't care about how to hold the beads in her homework, she just felt that Bao Yan shouldn't laugh at a person who worked hard to improve.
Song Jinfei laboriously read the two pages of the book, and he didn't recognize the words on it very well. I just feel that reading and literacy is really annoying, and it was not so difficult when I was apprenticed to learn art.
Song Jinfei simply stopped reading the book, leaned into the car, and looked up again to see Fu Zhangzhu's jade-white face, and his heart was pounding, so that he had to get closer to Zhangzhu.
"Miss Fu is very good at reading, right?"
Zhangzhu said: "I don't test my fame, and it's useless to know how to read." ”
Song Jinfei hurriedly said: "It's useful, it's useful, why is it useless." Reading and reasoning, Miss Fu must know a lot of truths. By the way, Gu Lao Er himself is a half-irrigated person, and he can't teach clearly, so I'll ask Miss Fu directly when I go back. ”
Bao Yan said in his heart This person is really cheeky, you are a scoundrel and dare to let her girl teach her to read and write, isn't this a fool's dream?
Zhangzhu listened to Song Jinfei's words but did not speak, just quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.
After a long time, Zhangzhu asked: "How many days are there to reach Shoufeng?" ”
Bao Yan said: "We have been walking for three days, if it is fast, we should be able to arrive the afternoon after tomorrow." ”
Song Jinfei immediately said: "It rained yesterday and delayed it a little, and I'm afraid I won't be able to arrive in the afternoon the day after tomorrow." It's going to be the morning after tomorrow. Sooner or later, it was coming, and there was no need to make the girl suffer in a hurry. ”
Zhangzhu still didn't say anything, she just wanted to arrive safely, it didn't matter if it was early or late. Anyway, Shoufeng is just a transit place for her, but she just wants to be able to rely on the Du family to make more money in her hand. Although now it seems that the idea is somewhat risky. Although Bao Yan kept saying that her grandmother, whom she had never met, felt most sorry for her, but from the current point of view, this sentence is a questioning sentence. In any case, she had to find a temporary place to stay, and when she had saved enough money, she could continue to go to Beijing. There are still many places to use money in the future, and she can't rely on others, the only thing she can rely on is herself.
At dusk, the car entered a small town. This small town is really small, but it is just a street with north-south traffic. The street wasn't very long, and there were a few sparse shops, none of which were open at this time.
Gu Tong frowned and looked around, this place is not as good as Yutang, and he is afraid that he will not be able to settle down tonight.
"Boss, what should I do? Are you going to find someone to stay with? ”
Song Jinfei glanced around, and sure enough, he didn't see any inns or anything like that. If it was just the three of them who were in the woods and would have passed in one night, it would have been too painful to think that a delicate little girl would have followed them.
"Nowhere to stay?" The palm bead that didn't open his mouth finally said a word.
Song Jinfei nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Zhangzhu said: "Then find a relatively wide place to settle down temporarily." ”
"Miss Fu is planning to sleep in the open?"
She doesn't want to sleep in the open, and there is no way.
The night is low and envelops the wilderness. The sparrows in the trees had already returned to their nests, and when a gust of wind came, they flew in all directions. Gu Tong and Mao Zi went to pick up some firewood and set up a fire. The carriage was parked not far from the fire.
After a day of jolting in the car, I was already tired, and my feet were a little swollen. So when they settled down, she and Bao Yan also got out of the car and walked around.
It was a wide meadow with woods not far away and dark mountains beyond.
Bao Yan was a little nervous and said, "It's dark and the road is unfamiliar, let's not go too far." ”
The palm bead stood still, and the wind blew in the sky with a deep chill, which made her sneeze. Bao Yan hurriedly said: "It's cold here, let's go back." It's also warmer over the fire. ”
As he said, he sat down not far from the fire. She looked at the blazing flames and thought a lot.
Going to Shoufeng is just a forced decision under the current situation, if the Du family doesn't accept her, should she find another way for herself? Is she going straight to the capital?
Zhangzhu glanced at Song Jinfei who was talking to Gu Tong over there, Song Jinfei happened to be staring at Zhangzhu, and the eyes of the two met, which caught Fu Zhangzhu off guard, Song Jinfei was overjoyed, and hurriedly left Gu Tong and walked over. He came to Zhangzhu's side, bent down and asked Zhangzhu in a warm voice: "Miss Fu, do you need my help with anything?" ”
Zhangzhu shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”
Song Jinfei also took advantage of the situation to sit down cross-legged beside Zhangzhu, he took a wooden stick and flicked the flame, and the fire became even more intense. He glanced at Zhangzhu sitting on the ground like this, frowned slightly, and said, "Miss Fu is not afraid of soiling her clothes when she sits on the ground?" ”
"There's not so much attention to when you're out and about." Zhangzhu's words were faint.
Song Jinfei smiled, and he said again: "Miss Fu is really very different from those young girls I have seen. ”
Zhangzhu didn't pay much attention. Song Jinfei has long been accustomed to the indifference of palm beads. The beauty is on the side, he doesn't want the beauty to be so kind, as long as he can be by his side, it is already sweet for Song Jinfei.
Maozi actually knocked down some sparrows, removed the feathers, and roasted them on the coals. After a while, I smelled the smell of meat. Gu Tong actually brought a pot of wine, he first gave the pot of wine to Song Jinfei, and Song Jinfei gave the wine jug to Zhangzhu. Zhangzhu waved his hand again and again and said, "I'm not good at drinking." ”
Song Jinfei had no choice but to give up, and after a while, he roasted the sparrow, and Song Jinfei took one and gave it to the palm beads. Zhangzhu was not polite, because she knew that she really couldn't be too particular about surviving in the wild. The taste of this sparrow is really not good, there is no oil and salt, and it has a bit of earthy smell. She didn't frown and chewed on it.
And the pot of wine passed back and forth in the hands of the three brothers. Gu Tong drank happily, slapped his thighs, and sang. I can only hear him sing: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone." Exploring the tiger's den into the Jiao Palace, looking up to the sky and sighing like a white rainbow. ”
His voice was rough but a little heroic and open-minded, which attracted Song Jinfei and Mao Zi to applaud again and again, and Bao Yan also applauded.
