With the help of a zealous old sheriff, John arrives in town, which has a very unique name, "Three Oaks".

John left his classic car in the parking lot, bought some necessary daily necessities at the convenience store, and rented a sleigh motorcycle at a relatively low price at the car dealership.

"Hey, old man, are you going to go on a long journey? Today's weather forecast says there will be a snowstorm in the evening. ”

The owner of the car dealership kindly reminded me.

"Thank you."

John thanked him.

It doesn't matter if there's a blizzard, it's just in time anyway, it's still early before dark.

……

Rented sleds can also be driven on ordinary roads, but not as fast as in the snow.

John followed the road to the edge of the ice field, only to see two cars parked at some point, and five sleigh motorcycles of different colors, where eight or nine young men and women were busy.

"Hey, Kyle, is this your dad? You also invited your dad to our winter party? The pretty girl Knya laughed and joked to the tall man Kyle.

Kyle is the team's guide and the party's initiator.

They were all students at Weston University, and they used to come here to play in previous years.

"What?"

Kyle looks back and sees John driving his sleigh to the side and getting out of the car.

Kyle's expression is exaggerated, and his body movements are rich, "Knya, are you kidding?" What do you think I look like this old man? ”

A crowd laughed.

John glanced at them, and the foreigner's smile was really low, and he could laugh to death at the slightest thing.

A curly-haired black girl walked over, "Hey, uncle, where are you going?" My name is Sarah. ”

John smiled back, "I'll go home." Just call me Wick. ”

"Uncle Wick, where do you live?" A hot girl with ski gear looked strange, "My name is Lauren, I often come here to ski, why haven't I seen you all this time?" ”

John: "I've been working in the field, and now I come home and see, my home is here." ”

Lauren glanced at the map, "Uncle Wick, why don't you go with us?" The cottage where we host the party is in the same direction as going to your house. Our buddy Potter had gone to the cottage to wait for us. ”

John didn't object, he was an out-of-towner, and it wasn't a bad thing to be able to walk with this group of college students who often came here to mingle.

"Kyle, Knya, I think we'd better come back tomorrow, right? The weather forecast just now said that there would be a snowstorm in the evening...... "A curly-haired man in a red down jacket came over to warn.

But it immediately attracted a burst of ridicule.

Kyle: "Danio, don't be like a princess, it's going to be okay." You see Uncle Wick is ready to go, and we'll be there in an hour by at least two hours in the evening. ”

Danio was speechless for a moment, no matter how cowardly he is, he can't coax an old man, right?

Soon, the team was in full swing.

John also saw the foreigner's talent for death.

The man and the woman were chasing me in the sleigh car, and the snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and everyone was shouting and getting carried away.

John even saw a guy tied to the back of his toboggan with a rope on his own skis, dragging him along the rope and sliding forward quickly.

It was so dead that John's old heart was pounding, and he followed behind, only sighing that it was good to be young.

After about an hour of madness, the freshness of the first foray into the ice field went down a lot, and it got colder and colder, the sky darkened, and there were small snowflakes floating in the air.

The crowd stopped one after another.

Knya: "Kyle, you're lost. ”

Kyle: "No. No way, I've been to that hut with Potter no less than a hundred times. ”

As a team guide, how could he admit to getting lost.

Danio: "Damn, I'm freezing to death, and I bet the temperature has dropped by at least twenty degrees." Let's stop standing here, okay? It's less than half an hour before it gets dark, and soon the blizzard will come. ”

Kyle: "Give me another minute to get on my way." ”

He put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, and finally said, "We should climb over that mountain, and I am sure that we will reach our destination in half an hour at the most." ”

John took out the map and compared it with the sun, then started the sled and left the team without a sound.

It's just the same road, there's no need to get involved in their affairs.

Knya immediately pointed in the direction John had left, and said, "Kyle, our cabin is in the same direction as Uncle Wick's house, and I think we should follow him over the hill on the left." ”

Kyle immediately shook his head, "Please, Knya, would you like to trust an old man from out of town who is meeting for the first time?" OK, let's go! ”

He didn't believe that with his experience as an old driver, he would not be as good as an old man returning home for the first time.

The others were helpless, and it was getting colder and colder, so they had to start again on their sled motorcycles and follow Kyle.

People have a herd mentality, even if they sometimes know it's wrong.

……

John drove his sleigh and climbed the hill on the left, and immediately saw the buildings beneath the woods, and there seemed to be a wooden house looming on the cliff in the distance.

Come to think of it, this wooden house should be the destination of the men and women.

John shook his head, although the temperature was very low, it had the personal characteristics of [Extremely Cold Body], and its cold resistance increased by twenty-five percent, and he didn't feel particularly cold.

He drove down the hillside, into the woods, and soon came to his home.

Standing outside the house and watching, there was a fence wall outside, and there were three huts inside, and the construction was so patchwork that at least from the outside, I couldn't fault it.

John decided to take a look inside and see for himself if it suited his taste, and then make a decision on whether to sell it or not.

He opened the door and stepped into the main house.

The interior of the house is also perfectly furnished, but it has been uninhabited for a long time and has fallen some dust. There are also a number of household appliances in the home, a generator in the utility room, and petrol ready to go.

Overall, aside from the absence of correspondence, everything here is very much in line with John's aesthetic.

John moved the stored dry wood into the fireplace, lit it, and the house quickly became warm.

Even though the blizzard had begun to wreak havoc outside, it was still as warm as spring inside.

"This home is not bad, very suitable for the life of salted fish, the outside is a small town, the supply is not very difficult, and it is located in the middle of nowhere, very few people come to disturb, it is really a salted fish resort, although it is 108,000 miles worse than the island resort......"

But buying an island needs to be done slowly, and small goals are not something that can be achieved in a day.

John cleaned the house, moved all the daily necessities he had bought into the house, boiled water, cut sausages, beat eggs, cooked a large bowl of fragrant noodles with instant noodles, and had a beautiful dinner.

After a full meal, I simply freshened up, threw myself on the bed, and fell asleep.
