Chapter 14: Joy and Discouragement (2)
After speaking, Xiang Feng looked at Xiaoqing, who was stunned, "Whether you can save your father depends on whether you can return these two things before seven o'clock in the evening." When your father is destined to be born, take those two things and burn them, and he can spend Chinese New Year's Eve safely..."
Xiaoqing and I drove all the way south, and within two miles, we encountered the first hurdle. The road was blocked and the road was blocked.
"What should I do?"
Xiaoqing was so anxious that she slapped the steering wheel continuously.
"Calm down, I'm just being impetuous at the beginning, how will I proceed later?"
I got out of the car and looked, and saw a small road on the right side, so I waved my hand to Xiaoqing in the car.
"Come, let's go this way, go around it."
In the car, I asked Xiaoqing what was the place ten miles away from her house in the south. Xiaoqing thought for a long time and said that it was in H County, which was originally just a small town, and then it was divided into a county.
We made a big detour, and it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning when we came to the county seat, and we just drove to an intersection and saw a morning market. Approaching the end of the year, residents are idle at home, and generally get up late in the morning, and nine o'clock is the time when the most people eat breakfast and the morning market is the busiest.
Originally, I was a little bottomless about Xiangfeng's side, but when I saw the morning market, I immediately calmed down, bought two baked cakes, a bowl of mutton soup, and ate it with relish. Xiaoqing didn't eat anything, kept looking at her watch, and didn't know what to mumble in her mouth.
As I ate, I thought that it took us half an hour more to take a detour just now, and that it would be enough to stay for half an hour. I thought that I could use this half an hour to find the so-called 'begging on the street'.
However, we walked around and didn't see any beggars. The people on the street were all well-dressed and beaming. It's not a disaster year, and how can anyone beg on the streets on a cold day like this that can freeze their ears?
I feel a little bottomless in my heart, but Xiaoqing is convinced of Xiang Feng, in her words, that handsome guy is a capable person at a glance. I said in my heart, am I incapable?
Seeing that the time was about the same, we got into the car and headed east from the intersection, and it didn't take long for us to cross the city and onto a stumbling gravel road.
It was almost twenty miles, and I asked Xiaoqing to stop the car.
"Look, if a convoy passes by, jump in and stop them." I told Xiaoqing that she was so nervous that she wouldn't even nod her head.
However, after looking back and forth for a while, I didn't even see a single tire. I muttered to myself, this road is so broken, how can there be a convoy here?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a 'jingle bell', and an ox cart suddenly came out of a fork in the road. The horns of the ox were tied with red ropes, and the bell around its neck swayed in the wind. The car was pulling new furniture, which looked like a dowry, and then another...
My heart is in ecstasy, welcome to the convoy! It turned out to be a cattle convoy!
I jumped out of the car, stopped the old man who was driving the car first, and when I asked, the old man said that they were married to two girls in the village. Due to the heavy snowfall in the previous section, the dirt road was crushed with deep ditches after the snow melted, so the dowry was pulled by ox carts. As for the van that greeted the bride and the second girl, it was in the back, not as fast as the ox cart.
Xiaoqing and I waited at the intersection for a long time, and finally waited for the van, and hurriedly rushed over to stop it.
The first to walk down was a round-faced girl, dressed in new clothes, with her head crossed. Xiaoqing threw herself on the ground and was about to bow down, almost scaring the girl into fainting. After asking, it turned out that they were just bridesmaids.
Immediately afterwards, the bride's parents got out of the car, Xiaoqing was even excited and nervous, and the words couldn't go well, so they would only 'spend... Flowers...'.
The bride's parents looked like honest countrymen, and their faces turned white with fright, and they didn't know what they were doing. I easily explained it, and the old man's face immediately showed a cold and stiff look. It is absolutely not good, there is a custom in their village, and it is unlucky for the bride to fall off the flower on her chest on the way to get married, let alone give it away.
After grinding for a while, a gentle female voice came from the car, Dad, Mom, forget it, give it to them.
Xiaoqing's grateful tears came down, bowed to the bride in the car three times, took the flowers, and returned to the car with me.
When we got back to the morning market, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and the morning market turned into lunch. Those early stalls are gone, and they have been replaced by those selling melons and fruits New Year's goods.
I had admired the accuracy of the windward side, but now I began to worry again, because I had swept through everyone and not a single person was seen begging along the street.
"It's useless to be in a hurry, let's wait slowly, you go buy something to eat." I said to Xiaoqing.
After Xiaoqing left, I lit a cigarette and looked around boredly. Suddenly, I heard someone arguing in the distance.
At a glance, it turned out to be a chengguan, and the rubber stick in his hand knocked on the stall with a 'bang', and finally, the vendor was soft and obediently paid the money, and the chengguan walked towards the next stall.
I shook my head and said in my heart, it's not easy for these small businesses to get up early and be greedy for darkness... Suddenly, my eyes lit up, isn't this chengguan the person who is 'begging along the street'? At this time, Xiaoqing came back from buying food.
"Don't eat it, I've found the man!"
"Where?!"
I pointed to the chengguan who was arguing with another vendor in the distance and knocking on a stick, and said, "That's him!" Go, give him ten dollars, and say, 'Congratulations!'" ā
"He... What if he's going to beat me? ā
"Don't be afraid." I said to Xiaoqing, "I will follow you to protect you." ā
"But," Xiao Qing said hesitantly, "but it's a city manager, aren't we looking for people begging along the streets?" ā
"Oops, why are you so stupid!" I frowned, "Isn't the chengguan just begging for money along the street?" It's just that they are begging and begging for money in a way that is a little sideways! ā
"Oh... yes..."
"Go, is it better to be beaten, or is it important to save your father?"
Xiaoqing gritted her teeth, took out ten yuan and held it in her hand, and walked towards the chengguan, and I slowly followed her.
The chengguan was arguing with the hawkers, and the hawkers were also quite hard, and the chengguan looked like he would use force at any time while wielding a stick. Xiaoqing stepped forward, patted the chengguan on the shoulder, and said, hello.
The chengguan was like an electric shock, 'Teng' jumped up, and when he turned around, it turned out to be a young Peugeot young woman.
"What's the matter?" Chengguan asked.
"Yes... Sorry to bother you..."
I almost vomited blood, and you simply said, comrade, I'm sorry to disturb your quarrelsome Yaxing.
"Tell me something, I'm busy!" Chengguan said.
"This... That..."
Xiaoqing snorted, and I poked her the back with my fingers.
"Oh, that's it, that's... Respectful... Congratulations! ā
'Coax'... The market exploded, and the eyes of all the vendors shot towards Xiaoqing, some of them were surprised, and some of them were full of anger, which means that as soon as you say, you congratulate him on his wealth, isn't that a curse for us to suffer?
"Neurotic!" The chengguan also looked dizzy.
"Money... Money..."I whispered in Xiaoqing's ear.
"Oh, yes, yes, I'll give you ten dollars..."
The chengguan was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "It turns out that you are here to pay the booth fee, but you are quite conscious, but ten yuan is almost the same as a beggar." The price increase for the New Year, fifty a day, one week at a time, a total of three hundred and five! ā
"Shove it to him...", I said behind Xiaoqing's back.
"Hard-stuffed to you!"
Xiaoqing's head was already confused, and she repeated my words, I really wanted to find a telephone pole and hit my head to death.
I pushed Xiaoqing hard, and she came back to her senses, rushed up and stuffed the ten yuan into the pocket of the chengguan.
The chengguan was so frightened that he took a step back, and then shouted: "You amusement Lao Tzu, if it weren't for the fact that you are a woman, I would have beaten you today!" ā
At this time, there were already a lot of people around to watch the excitement, and I was also angry, and pushed Xiaoqing away.
"Lao Tzu will entertain you, what's wrong?!"
"Oops, I'm cĒo?! It turns out that you are the right master! See how I fix you! ā
The city manager picked up his stick and struck at me, but where is he my opponent? As soon as I stretched out my hand, I grabbed the stick, threw it on the ground, and kicked the city to the ground with a flying kick, and the vendors applauded.
It took a long time for the city manager to get up, his face was as red as a pig's liver, but he didn't dare to do anything to me.
"Beat up the law enforcement officers, okay, boy, you're kind of waiting for me! ⦠Wait! ā¦ā
The chengguan pushed aside the people who were watching the excitement and staggered south. Some of the vendors applauded, and some gave me a thumbs up.
"Brother, awesome! ā¦ā
"It's so handsome! ā¦ā
I pulled Xiaoqing, "Let's go." ā
