After the high-speed rail station, Xu Zhimu changed to a bus and ran for another three hours.

Among them, there are many mountain roads, which are bumpy all the way, making this more than 100-kilometer journey hard to walk for three or four hours.

Some people in the car ate some very delicious food, and there was a smell of sweat and feet, and some people couldn't stand the bumps and held a plastic bag to vomit, and the whole carriage was filled with an indescribable smell.

Xu Zhimu put on a mask, he could only close his eyes and recuperate, if he could see the junior sister today, the bumps in the road would be worth it.

At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Zhimu got off the bus at a place called Wangtai Town.

The station is obviously a few years old, and the floor of the platform is potholed, and there is a constant bumping sound on it as you pull your suitcase.

It's a mountain town, with few high-rise buildings, and the residential buildings on the opposite side are all white tiles from the last era, which are now yellowed by water, and most of the people driving on the road are some greenhouse tricycles.

There are also mobile stalls selling fried eggs and various snacks and pancakes on the roadside.

There will also be a series of black smoke behind the butt of the car, and the street lights and sedans at the intersection are as rare as the young people.

The road is full of old people and children, and young people in backward areas will go to big cities to make a living.

The rest are empty nesters and left-behind children, a situation that is unlikely to change for at least half a century......

Young people like Xu Zhimu, who are dragging suitcases and dressed in clothes that are obviously not local, are particularly eye-catching.

"Little brother, don't take the car, it's cheap!"

There are a lot of black motorcycles at the entrance of the station, in fact, they can't be regarded as black motorcycles in this kind of town, and the per capita income is not much, and the price of this kind of motorcycle is still easy to accept.

Of course, if you don't get pitted......

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with tanned skin, who looked like an old oilman, smoking his own cold cigarette in his mouth.

"Little brother is from out of town, I am very familiar with this area, and we also know someone who wants to find a place to live." The middle-aged man rubbed his hands and wanted to help Xu Zhimu put his luggage in the back of the car.

Xu Zhimu looked at his mobile phone, according to the elementary school sister, she worked as a waitress in a restaurant in the county.

But he didn't know exactly which restaurant it was, but he knew that it should be a good local fusion restaurant, and it would often be used by local officials to entertain.

Foreigners sometimes come and go.

And the elementary school sister has the opportunity to work as a waitress in it because she can speak English.

The most specific clue is that the senior sister once said that there is a bronze statue of a lamb in the corner of the hotel, and the junior sister will whisper to the bronze statue of the lamb every time she encounters troubles.

"Where is the biggest hotel here?" Xu Zhimu stopped him from taking his luggage.

As soon as he heard Xu Zhimu open his mouth to find the largest hotel here, this person's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that this was the little boy who had met.

"I know, I know the big hotels in the whole county, there are three or four in total, which one is the little brother looking for?"

"I'm looking for someone, but I don't know which one." Xu Zhimu looked at the sun that was about to set in the sky, and he had to speed up his search, otherwise he would wait for the day in vain when the junior sister got off work.

The driver of the motorcycle was even happier: "This is easy to do, these hotels are not far apart, why don't I take my little brother to find it first?" ”

Xu Zhimu looked at him and said, "How much?" ”

"The starting price is five yuan, and then two yuan per kilometer, what do you think?"

"Okay."

This price is not expensive, Xu Zhimu nodded directly, this price is actually about the same as the price of a taxi, but in this kind of small county, the speed of the motorcycle driver to find the way is unintentionally the fastest.

"Okay, I'll help you put your luggage in the back." The driver of the motorcycle happily placed the suitcase on the extension plate on the back of the motorcycle and tied it with a belt.

Xu Zhimu stepped into the car.

"Where did the little brother come from? Listening to the accent is not close to this. ”

"Zheng Cheng." Xu Zhimu replied casually.

"Oh, that's a good place, I heard that you all sit in the office, and you can make money by looking at the computer every day......"

Motorcycle drivers all over the world seemed to be very talkative, Xu Zhimu answered a few questions, and then remained silent.

When the driver of the motorcycle saw that he didn't speak, he stopped talking stupidly.

Ten minutes later, he took Xu Zhimu to a place called Regent Hotel, which looked a little magnificent.

"Little brother, do you think it's here?"

"I'll go down and take a look first, if you don't wait here for me for a while."

Xu Zhimu is still not sure if this is the place where the elementary school sister works.

"That's no problem, it's just that the money for your car is ......," the driver of the motorcycle laughed.

Xu Zhimu took out a fifty piece from his arms and handed it to him: "No need to look for it, you can leave if I don't come out in half an hour." ”

"Okay, okay, little brother, you go get busy." The driver of the motorcycle happily parked the car, and he could earn more than 20 yuan at most on this section of the road, but the other party made a move of 50 yuan, which is a high income for this small county with a per capita income of less than 3,000.

This person is stupid and has a lot of money, even if the other party doesn't give him money, he is willing to wait.

Xu Zhimu pulled the suitcase and walked into the hotel.

"Welcome!"

There was a welcoming lady standing at the door, and Xu Zhimu swept around them, obviously not a senior sister.

"Hello, sir, are you dining or staying at the hotel?" In the hall, a woman in a lady's suit who looked like a lobby manager saw Xu Zhimu, who was dragging a suitcase with an extraordinary temperament, and immediately greeted her.

Xu Zhimu's gaze swept over the faces of all the waiters he could see, none of them were ......

"Excuse me, do you have a bronze statue of a lamb here?" Xu Zhimu asked her seriously.

"Little Lamb...... Bronze statue? The woman was stunned, this was the first time she had heard someone suddenly ask such a strange question.

There is a whole sheep roasted in the restaurant, what the hell is the bronze statue of the lamb?

"This ...... We don't seem to have any bronze statues of lambs in our hotel. "The woman is still very professional and patiently explains.

Xu Zhimu originally wanted to ask the junior sister's name directly, but now he doesn't want to directly break the senior sister's life.

Before school started, it would be nice to have a sneak peek at her.

"Okay, sorry to bother." Xu Zhimu nodded, feeling a little disappointed.

I turned around and walked out of the hotel.

Several waiters looked at the back of Xu Zhimu leaving and whispered earnestly.

"This person is so strange, if you come to the hotel without eating and staying in the hotel, what kind of lamb statue is you looking for......"

"But he looks very handsome, and he's so tall, so he doesn't look like we're dressed like one of us."

……

"Little brother? Not this shop? When the driver of the motorcycle saw Xu Zhimu come out, his heart blossomed, which proved that his business was coming again.

"Move on to the next one."

Xu Zhimu put the suitcase in the back and got into the car directly.

"Okay!"

About ten years later, Xu Zhimu came to another hotel, and it was almost the same conversation, and he got the same answer.

I changed to another hotel and got the same answer.

After several defeats in a row, Xu Zhimu was silent and got on the motorcycle again.

Another minute or twenty, and by this time it was already a little dark.

"Little brother, who are you looking for, do you want to call and ask?"

Back and forth, the driver was about to earn Xu Zhimu two hundred yuan, and looking at the other party's disappointed expression when he returned from the hotel again and again, he was a little unbearable.

"Don't use it today, you can go back."

Xu Zhimu gave him another fifty and walked silently towards the hotel.

The driver of the motorcycle put the few fifty yuan he earned into his wallet, looked at Xu Zhimu's back, sighed twice, and walked away with a twist of the accelerator.

Juxiangge Hotel, which is a Chinese-style hotel, Xu Zhimu walked into the store with his suitcase again.

It's almost eight o'clock now, and Xu Zhimu plans to find a place to live if he can't find this family anymore, and continue to look for it tomorrow.

Entering the hall, as usual, a waiter came up to ask.

"Welcome, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Do you have a bronze statue of a lamb here?"

Xu Zhimu repeated this sentence.

"Huh?" It was also the first time the waiter heard this strange question: "This...... I'm sorry sir, I don't think I've seen it. ”

Is that the case again......

This county is almost in line with the hotel in the mouth of the elementary school sister Xu Zhimu has turned around, and he wonders if the place where there is this little sheep bronze statue really exists......

Xu Zhimu sighed, he can only do this today.

"Can I stay here?"

"Yes, you come with me."

followed to open a room, put down all the luggage, Xu Zhimu planned to go downstairs to have dinner first.

It was his first meal of the day......

The person sitting downstairs was not, Xu Zhimu found a place and simply ordered an egg fried rice.

Xu Zhimu took out his mobile phone to report to his parents that he was safe, and at this time, a soft voice sounded in front of him.

"Hello, your egg fried rice."

The voice is soft and soft, like a dandelion swaying in the wind, and it has a magic that can easily fall into the depths of people's hearts.

This is......

Xu Zhimu raised his head suddenly!
