Chapter 14: Ling Dong

Ma Congjing, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window, and was nervous for a while, saying that it was normal to be nervous, and in the heavy snow with visibility of less than 20 meters, he couldn't even see the road, so he could only drive by feeling, and fortunately, there were few vehicles on this road at normal times, let alone this kind of heavy snow drifting weather.

"Xiao Shang be careful, drive slowly, look at the tree on the right, just get there! Don't be in a hurry," Ma Congjing said to a young man driving on his left, looking at the whitewashed cypress trees gliding through the window.

"I understand!! I've run this road many times, and I can open it with my eyes closed! Xiao Shang wore sunglasses, looked straight at the road ahead, and said to Ma Congjing, who was a little nervous.

Ma Congjing didn't speak, he took out a soft box of Snow Lotus King from the inside pocket of the down jacket he was wearing, took out two cigarettes from it with his stubby fingers, and took one of the cigarettes in his mouth.

"Give!" Ma Congjing said vaguely with a cigarette in his mouth.

Xiao Shang, who had been staring ahead, let go of his right hand that was holding the steering wheel, reached over to catch the cigarette handed over, put it to his mouth, and held the steering wheel tightly with his right hand.

After Ma Congjing handed Shang Yingkang a cigarette, he turned sideways and took out an iron inflatable lighter from his trouser pocket that had been ground to the point that his handwriting had disappeared.

Syllable! With a thud, the lid of the lighter was opened to the side, and the thumb was swiped down, sparks came out of the contact between the pulley and the flint, golden sparks splashed on the cotton, hot particles ignited the cotton stained with fire oil, and the swaying flames emitted photosynthetic heat inside the slightly oppressive pickup truck.

lit the fire in his mouth and said to Xiao Shang, who was driving.

"Give! Fire!" Hearing Ma Congjing's voice, Shang Yingkang, who was driving the car, let go of his right hand holding the steering wheel, pinched the cigarette on his lips, found the flame with his residual light, and handed the cigarette to the vicinity of the flame with his right hand, and Ma Cong lit Xiao Shang's cigarette from the scenic spot.

"That's it!"

After hearing the sound, the raised right hand retracted, and the lit Snow Lotus King was put in his mouth, and he took a deep breath, and the nicotine particles entered his lungs.

After a few moments, the smoke puffed out of his nose, and the fatigue of the long period of tension dissipated somewhat.

The hand gripping the steering wheel also loosened a little.

"Brother Ma, how long do you think this hell weather will end?"

With a puff of smoke, Ma Congjing quickly turned his head, glanced at Ma Congjing, and then turned back and said.

"I don't know, such a big snow is still rare, not once in decades, just the first ten years ago, the heavy snow in the south was quite heavy, I haven't seen it again, the temperature has become hotter, and the snow has fallen, and no matter how heavy the snow is, it will disappear in a few days."

Smoking a cigarette, Ma Congjing said lightly in the smoke.

"This time, it should only last a few days, right? It's good to get down, as the saying goes, is it a good year for Ruixue! It will definitely be good to go down more."

Spit out another mouthful of white smoke that had been circulating in his lungs for a long time, Ma Congjing looked out the window and said.

"But then again, this year's weather is very strange, the summer is so long, and the autumn is only a few days, and this winter has just started to snow heavily, I wonder what will happen next year?"

Xiao Shang opened the window on his side, and the wind mixed with goose feathers and heavy snow blew in through the cracks in the window, and a cool breath came from the stuffy interior space, his head was facing out of the window, and the cigarette butt in his mouth spewed out of the window with the air in his lungs.

After a while, Shang Yingkang's face felt a little cold towards the crack in the window, and seeing that the smoke in the car had almost dissipated, Shang Yingkang closed the open window.

"Also, those animals are so weird, the house is full of small insects running around, and one day I woke up to see a spider hanging in front of me, and it almost scared me to death."

"Really? I haven't encountered spiders, but it's true that insects in the house are running around like headless flies. ”

Ma Congjing said as he played with the old lighter in his hand.

"Hey, God doesn't know how to do it!"

After a sigh, the car returned to calm, and the sleepy horse Congjing's eyes narrowed to the sound of the steady engine.

Glancing at Ma Congjing, Shang Yingkang cheered up and stared closely at the highway where he could no longer see the road clearly outside the glass.

There was nothing to do all the way, and the road that usually only takes more than 30 minutes actually walked for a full hour and a half this time, and the pickup truck slowly turned a corner at the intersection, and the inclined body shook awake - Ma Congjing, who fell asleep with his head tilted.

"Arrived?" Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, there was no change in the slightest, no weakening or strengthening, but the sky had gradually turned numb and dark, Ma Congjing rubbed his face and said to Xiao Shang, who was driving.

"Turn this corner and follow the road for a few more kilometers"

Xiao Shang said lightly, it will be easy to get here and from the destination, and there is no need to worry about it anymore.

Along the sandy land with dense trees on both sides of the road, Xiao Shang clearly felt that the pickup truck with the chain was not skidding.

Listening to the sound of falling snow, Cheng Bin lay on the sofa in a daze and waited for Ma Congjing's arrival.

At this time, Ma Congjing heard the boring and repetitive sound of falling snow, and Cheng Bin, who was a little sober, listened carefully to the sound outside the window, "Drip~~Drip~~~" After a while, there was a sound of a car honking outside the window.

"This is? Horses from the scene? ”

Putting on a piece of clothing and putting on boots, Cheng Bin opened the double-glazed door, and a cold wind blew on, looking at the road in the distance, a distant direct light shot over in the dark night sky, and used spiritual power to radiate the past to explore, and the car turned out to be Ma Congjing and Xiao Shang, who often came to deliver goods.

Speaking of which, Xiao Shang is also young, only in his 20s and has superb driving skills, but I don't know why he came to this small place, and he doesn't say anything when asked, just doesn't speak in a daze, thinking about other things in his heart.

After crossing the path covered with snow as thick as 10cm, Cheng Bin came to the door, and their car also came to stop in front of the door.

"Brother Ma has worked hard!!"

Cheng Bin stepped forward and said to Ma Congjing, who got out of the car.

"It's alright!! For the sake of life! It's all the same! ”

Ma Congjing said with a smile at Cheng Bin.

"Come to Xiaoshang, move things down, we have to leave quickly!"

"What?? In such a hurry? It's snowing so much, stay for a few days, and then leave when it's clear! ”

"Hey! There's something going on at home! Can't wait! ”

Ma Congjing seemed to have something unspeakable, and he didn't say a word. And Cheng Bin didn't ask him about his family affairs, and he didn't ask him much.

Several people braved the heavy snow to move things under the eaves.

"Really not staying?? It's okay to drink a glass of water!! It's okay to warm up and stay for a while! ”

"It's really not good, you have to leave quickly, if you hadn't called me, I wouldn't have gone out to deliver anything if anyone called today."

Saying that, Ma Congjing sat in the saddle.

"I'm leaving!"

"Really don't you stay for a drink and a bite to eat?"

"No, I'm leaving. You go back, the snow is so heavy, go back and be warm! ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand to Cheng Bin and closed the car door, while Xiao Shang controlled the pickup truck to turn around and drive away in the vast distance.

The snow was still falling, and it didn't weaken in the slightest.
