When Wang Youcai escaped from the train, the strange black shadow calmly followed behind him again.

Wang Youcai thought about the two women in a hurry, it was too terrifying, not to mention a big hat, who could resist the master. Fortunately, the train arrived at the station and could still run, otherwise it would have been pointed out by Qianfu.

At this time, on the train, the two women looked at Wang Youcai, who ran away, and clapped their hands again to make a happy gesture.

But soon, Xiaoxue pouted and said, "It's too cheap for him, I let him run away without apologizing, I don't know what his name is?" ”

Xiaoyu echoed, "That's it, but it's a pity that I couldn't save the kitten." ”

The two of them fell into a wrinkled brow again.

As soon as he got out of Hexi Station, Wang Youcai suddenly seemed to be in another world.

The voices of people are boiling, the excitement is extraordinary, all kinds of shouting and selling are endless, and a simple feeling is coming, just like being in Changping City 30 years ago.

According to the priority of development, Huaxia is currently divided into new economic zones, old economic zones, reserve support zones and sub-development zones, each with different responsibilities and goals. The districts have also abolished the provincial structure and are directly divided into cities, with a number of villages and towns under their jurisdiction.

As the name suggests, the new economic zone is a place that has been vigorously supported and developed in recent years, although it does not seem to have excellent results at present, but it is thought that their respective advantages can be described as a bright future, divided into four cities: big rivers, big rivers, big lakes and big seas.

The old economic zone is an area that has made indelible contributions to the development of China, and has vigorously developed the local economy by relying on rich mineral reserves. However, with the lack of follow-up resources and the backward energy that has been gradually eliminated, it is now gradually beginning to slump, but it is still trying to find a new way out, eager to revive the glory of the past, in order for Changping, Chang'an, Changxi, Changle four cities.

The reserve support area benefits from its unique geographical advantages, the land is flat, the climate is suitable, the rainfall is abundant, and various cash crops such as rice or wheat are also cropped three times a year.

The sub-development zone is due to various problems, such as poor climate and environment, inconvenient transportation, sparse land and sparse population, etc., and currently has no resources to tilt, so it has to be forced to continue to develop itself in a slow way to seek a new way out, divided into Qianji City, Qianji City, Qianjin City, Qianbu City.

At this moment, the land on which Wang Youcai stepped on was the largest granary in China, Hexi City.

Perhaps due to the development of agriculture, the overall atmosphere of Hexi is also biased towards the old countryside of China, even in the more developed center of Hexi, there are no Changping everywhere on the pedestrian street to see a variety of LED screens, large supermarkets, replaced by simple restaurants or small markets with wooden signs.

Driven by curiosity, Wang Youcai slowly watched the novelty stalls on both sides with the flow of people out of the station, after all, this was also an experience he had never had. The streets of Changping City are always spacious and clean, and the roads are filled with luxury cars with flashing logos.

In contrast, Wang Youcai prefers the fireworks and human atmosphere of Hexi, and he can't help but squint his eyes and listen carefully when he listens to the endless shouts on both sides.

'Sugar gourd, sugar gourd, five pieces and two skewers!' ’

'Freshly baked sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes sweeter than first love. ’

'The car is looking for someone, Dawang Village, Xiaowang Village is about to get on the bus, and it's the last trip today. ’

……

After suddenly hearing the key phrase 'Dawang Village', Wang Youcai turned his head suddenly, but accidentally bumped into an old woman beside him.

As soon as Wang Youcai was about to apologize, the old woman turned around and saw a big card hanging on her body, such as '24h hot water, hourly room, large private room'.

After the old woman turned around and saw Wang Youcai's big bag and small bag dress, she was sensitive to the fact that he was a foreigner who came here to travel, and hurriedly took Wang Youcai's hand and said enthusiastically, "Young man, come here, it's cheap and affordable." ”

When the other old ladies around heard this, they were like big sharks smelling blood, and they suddenly surrounded them, and said in a gossipy voice,

"Come to me, young man, I'm cheaper."

"Young man, come to me, my shop is the closest, and I will deliver breakfast."

"Don't listen to them, they can't be clean, or mine is the cleanest, I clean it once a week."

……

In an instant, the gossiping voice poured into Wang Youcai's ears, making him almost forget what he was going to do, and he was about to follow an old woman in a daze.

This is an old man who rushed out again, grabbed Wang Youcai's sleeve and said, "Young man, come with me, I have a show there, thief." ”

The words 'energetic' suddenly made Wang Youcai wake up excitedly, and hurriedly shook off the pull of several old people around him, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm leaving soon, I won't spend the night here tonight." After speaking, he pointed to the side of the bus that had just shouted 'go to Dawang Village'.

When several old women heard this, they immediately gave up on Wang Youcai and turned their attention to the other travelers who had just come out.

Only the old man still pulled Wang Youcai with a thief heart and said, "Our show is very fast, ten minutes is fine." I knew that the bus was still half an hour away. ”

Wang Youcai waved his hand again and again to refuse, and finally escaped from the old man's hands.

After a lot of effort, he finally squeezed to the side of the bus, Wang Youcai looked at the driver and asked politely, "Master, is this car going to Dawang Village?" What time do you leave? ”

After the driver glanced at Wang Youcai with a cigarette in his mouth, he found that he was the only one, and said impatiently, "Fifty yuan, leave in half an hour, get in the car and wait." ”

When Wang Youcai heard this, after giving the cash, he got into the car and sat in the first row.

After sitting down, I found that the car was empty, and it was only him and the driver.

Half an hour later, there were finally five more people in the car, and after the driver fastened his seat belt, he staggered and prepared to leave.

And the black shadow that followed all the way from the train station was also among the five people, but Wang Youcai had never been able to detect his existence.

There were flat wheat fields everywhere along the way, which also made Wang Youcai, who was accustomed to seeing the mountains and mountains, quite curious, and constantly looked left and right. Occasionally, a breeze blows, and the wheat waves formed by the ups and downs of the wheat seedlings in the wheat field also make Wang Youcai happy.

A thief-eyed man behind Wang Youcai looked at Wang Youcai's constant exclamation in the face of the wheat field, and was easily convinced that he was a foreigner who had come here to travel.

The man sat down beside Wang Youcai and asked, "Are you here to experience the farmhouse?" Where is the destination? Do you want to try the hottest 'wheat cutting' game at the moment, I know the boss, the internal price is one hundred and five an hour, do you want to try it? ”

Although there are no particularly big tourist attractions in Hexi, with the increasing pace of life and the deliberate drainage of some people in Hexi, Hexi has built a large farmhouse base, and the tourism fee alone can be a great income every year.

It is said that this year, some farmhouses in Hexi have launched a new project, "200 yuan an hour to experience the thrill of cutting wheat, like a real lawn mowing game to the incomparable sense of blow", which also quickly attracted a large number of customers, and the stickiness is extremely high. It is said that some people have fallen in love with this pleasure since then, and the owner of the farmhouse has run out of wheat and customers are still in demand, so they have to continue to help their neighbors harvest wheat.

This move also indirectly led to the elimination of a number of farmhouses that did not keep up with the trend and followed the trend to carry out the game of 'cutting wheat'.

Wang Youcai shook his head, he was still quite wary of strangers.

What's more, this so-called 'wheat cutting' game, Wang Youcai is also quite puzzling, why is it so popular? Isn't this just spending your own money to go to the autumn harvest? Wang Youcai, who has lived in the countryside since he was a child, has also suffered this kind of suffering many times.

However, maybe turnip greens have their own favorites. Wang Youcai is not so bored as to go out of his way to criticize people who spend money to enjoy 'harvesting wheat'.

However, judging from the small stars that kept popping up in Zhao Huan's eyes after seeing the promotion of this game for the first time in 'Shaking Hands', the audience of this game should still be quite extensive.

The man saw that Wang Youcai ignored him, and he was not discouraged, after all, he had been an intermediary for so long, and this level of frustration could still be easily beared, so he introduced himself, "My name is Zhao Dagou, I am a villager of Dawang Village, and I have several farmhouse bases under my hands, tell me what you want to play at that time, and I can give you the internal price." ”

Zhao Dagou is actually just an ordinary street slicker in Dawang Village, living by occasionally slaughtering a few tourists from other places who don't know the market at a high price. And now, obviously, he has set his sights on Wang Youcai again.

Originally, Wang Youcai didn't want to continue to deal with this familiar stranger, but when he heard that he was from Dawang Village, he suddenly became interested and wanted to inquire about the situation of Zheng Cheng's family in advance.

Wang Youcai said, "I'm not actually here to travel, I'm a relative." ”

As soon as Zhao Dagou heard that the other party was a relative, he didn't give up, as long as he took care of himself, said a few more words to enhance the friendship between them, and was not afraid that the other party would not take the bait.

What's more, if you don't send anything to your relatives, seeing that this kid is empty-handed, he must be ready to buy it in the village, and then he will fool around a few words, and he doesn't have the final say on what he buys.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dagou was also a little more excited, and said enthusiastically, "Little brother, this is going to that village to visit relatives, I am familiar with these villages on this road, say your name, and I will show you the way when the time comes." ”

Wang Youcai was also happy to see him so old-fashioned, people said, 'The poor countryside is out of Diaomin', I didn't expect my luck to be so good, and I met a kind-hearted person all of a sudden, "Dawang Village, Zheng Jianguo is my cousin." ”

Zhao Dagou was also even happier when he heard Dawang Village, after all, it was his own land, and it would be more convenient to do things at that time, but after hearing the words 'Zheng Jianguo', his expression gradually froze.

Zheng Cheng in the cat bag had been listening nervously to the chat between the two, especially when he saw Zhao Dagou's expression frozen instantly after hearing 'Zheng Jianguo', he also began to panic, "Could it be that the parents have ......?"

Wang Youcai also asked nervously next to him, "Brother dog, what's wrong?" The expression is so solemn, I'm timid, don't scare me. ”

Zhao Dagou realized that he had just lost his temper, and hurriedly smiled and said, "It's nothing, what can I do." ”

suddenly grabbed Wang Youcai's shoulders and said, "Speaking of which, our brothers are really fated, and I have to call you your cousin uncle according to my seniority." ”

Wang Youcai asked uneasily, "Then why did you have that expression just now?" ”

Zhao Dagou smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that my uncle has been a little chattering since last year, and he has quarreled with many people in the village." ”

Zhao Dagou looked at Wang Youcai's interested appearance, thought about it, and thought that this was not a secret that could not be said, so he simply said it one by one.

Since Zheng Cheng said two years ago that he went out to work, Zheng Jianguo and his wife have been happy for a long time.

Although they were still very happy when their son came back in the past, and repeatedly advised that if the city was really too hard, then it would be better to go home and farm together, and they would not starve to death anyway. But when he went out, he could still feel ridiculed and pointed at by his neighbors, thinking that the people in the village looked down on his son, what was the use of spending so much money to go to college, and he didn't just go home to eat the old age.

However, Zheng Jianguo never gave Zheng Cheng these pressures, but just thought that he would bear them silently.

Even when Zheng Cheng just left the village, Zheng Jianguo felt that a stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground, and he no longer needed to be afraid of facing the fingers of other people in the village.

But it didn't take long for Zheng Cheng to suddenly receive a video of Zheng Cheng claiming to be going to work abroad, and along with that video, he received a large sum of money, and most importantly, he couldn't contact his son since that day.

For a while, Zheng Jianguo's mind was full of news, all of which he had seen on the Internet before.

Unemployed men who went abroad to work were actually trafficked. ’

The man disappeared suddenly, and returned a few years later to be disabled. ’

'Part-time workers need to be cautious and watch out for new types of scams. ’

……

I also began to think crankily about whether my son would really have an accident, and once fell into deep self-blame, thinking that it was all my own harm, and my son would be deceived.

For these emotions, Zheng Jianguo didn't even dare to tell his wife, so he could only bear it silently in his heart.

A year later, when I finally collapsed immediately, I remembered a capable person on the mountain near the village, who could tell fortunes and read faces, which was said to be very effective. The names of the daughters of the Lao Liu family in the village were all begged for by Lao Liu at a great price.

Just do it, Zheng Jianguo picked a sunny day, and under the pretext of saying to his daughter-in-law that he was going to the market in the city, he hurriedly ran to the mountain where he lived in seclusion.

After Zheng Jianguo climbed the mountain, he looked at the small house and fell into hesitation again, he was afraid that if he really heard the news of his son's death, what would he do? What about the more important daughter-in-law? She couldn't bear the blow.

It's better to take advantage of the fact that you don't know anything now, and then quietly go down the mountain and spend this life in a daze.

While hesitating, the door of the house suddenly opened, and the voice of the window cage came from inside, "Since we are all going up the mountain, let's come in and drink a glass of water." ”

This sentence seemed to have some magical power, and Zheng Jianguo walked in step by step.

After he entered, the door slammed shut again, and the empty mountain was as if no one had ever come.

After Zheng Jianguo entered, he sat cramped in front of the window cage, facing this capable man who was said to be very effective, the other party didn't say a word, and he didn't know what to say.

I had to secretly look at the window cage with my peripheral vision, obviously the weather was very hot, but the other party was wearing a big robe for some reason, hiding all his body inside, and even wearing a hat to cover his face.

Zheng Jianguo muttered in his heart, maybe this set is a must-have suit for the master, what does the window cage mean, how to read it, it feels awkward.

The window cage looked up sharply and explained, "This is the name given to me by the ancients, and the window cage also means ear, you see." ”

Although he couldn't see the other party's gaze, Zheng Jianguo could clearly feel that he was watching him talk, and his heart was even more trembling, how did he know what he was thinking? But the voice sounded quite kind.

The window cage smiled, "Don't be nervous, after all, you are called a capable person, of course you have to have a little housekeeping skills, I can read minds." Ha ha. ”

Zheng Jianguo looked at each other in disbelief, and even forgot to breathe a little, and after holding it for a long time and feeling a little uncomfortable, he suddenly reacted and began to inhale heavily.

The window cage smiled, "Okay, okay, you're so interesting." I'm just kidding, usually normal people will be curious when they hear my name, nothing magical. ”

Then he asked, "So, what do you need to come here today?" Physiognomy or fortune-telling? ”

Zheng Jianguo hesitated for a long time, but still spoke, "Master, I want to ask you to calculate my son, how is he now?" ”

The window cage was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke, "What happened to your son, shouldn't you know better than me?" ”

Zheng Jianguo was a little short of breath for a while, gasping and asking, "Is it my son who is really ......?"

The window cage interrupted Zheng Jianguo's words with a smile, "Of course he went abroad, didn't he specially give you a video before leaving?" I forgot it so quickly, and as for the reason why I haven't contacted home for so long, it's because it's not convenient. ”

Then he looked up and thought for a moment, "I think about it, his current life, well, should be quite good, Suo Ran will lose a little insignificant thing in the future, but at least he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life." ”

Zheng Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Haha, yes, how can I be so forgetful, Cheng'er obviously told me before leaving, but I am still suspicious." A person who has just arrived abroad, and it must be very hard to be unfamiliar with life, and I still want to hold him back, which should not be. ”

As he spoke, he took out a wad of money from his pocket and put it on the table, "The master really worked, thank you for helping me cure my heart disease today, I will go back first, and I have to cook for my wife." "I got up and was going to leave.

The window cage chuckled and asked, "Don't you want to know when he'll be back?" ”

Zheng Jianguo waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I don't have to worry if I know that Cheng'er is okay, he can't not come back for the rest of his life, my body is still strong, it doesn't matter if I wait for another five or six years." ”

However, when he heard the next sentence of the window cage, he was stunned in place, and sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

"If you do something wrong, you may never see your son again in your life."

Zheng Jianguo turned his body back suddenly, "Master, are you telling the truth?" What can I do so that I don't do anything wrong, please teach me. ”

The window cage motioned for him to sit down, and said slowly, "Are you still doubting the truth of my words at this moment?" ”

After seeing Zheng Jianguo shaking his head frantically to indicate that he didn't dare, he owed a debt with satisfaction, "I don't know if you've ever heard of the guiding light." ”

"Legend has it that in the past, there were many wars, and in order to make it easier for wanderers to find their own homes, their parents would light a lamp to light the way home for their children. Does your son need such a thing? ”

Zheng Jianguo immediately said nervously, "I understand, when I go home today, I will prepare a lamp and hang it at the door every day to light up the way home for Cheng'er." ”

The window cage shook his head, "I said it was a legend, which means that it must be false." ”

Looking at Zheng Jianguo's stunned eyes, he added, "But what you need to prepare is another thing, prepare a big fish of no less than two catties every day, cook it and put it in the yard to feed the passing wild cats, so that your son can come back soon." ”

Although it sounded very absurd, Zheng Jianguo didn't dare to have any objections, after all, the window cage knew exactly before that Zheng Cheng went abroad, and even knew that he had made a video report before leaving.

Of course, more importantly, this matter is about whether he can see his son again in this life, whether it is true or not, as a father, Zheng Jianguo, he will never dare to bet.

The window cage stood at the door and watched Zheng Jianguo walk down the mountain step by step, and said with a chuckle, "The distance from Changping to Hexi, according to your understanding, isn't it a foreign country?" It's fun to be alive as a cat. This time there is another good show to watch, but it will take another year to see the ending, and I can't help it. ”

After going down the mountain, Zheng Jianguo would make a two-catty big fish every day, and then feed it to the wild cats in the village.

From this day on, there were more and more wild cats in Zheng Jianguo, but no matter how much his wife and villagers persuaded him, he was unwilling to stop making fish and drive away the wild cats.

Under the strange cry of the wild cat in the middle of the night, Zheng Jianguo became more and more gloomy.

Zhao Dagou couldn't help but shudder as he spoke, "Listen, how scary this is, there are more cats than people in the yard every day." ”

Leaned over to Wang Youcai and whispered, "Don't you see Zheng Jianguo's current appearance, his thin eye sockets are sunken, it's like a ghost, once I saw that he just brought out the fish, I laughed and joked with him, it's better to let me eat the cheap cat." As a result, he instantly became furious, yelling at me to get out, you didn't see that, it's like crazy. It's just poor aunt, tsk, something happened to my son and husband. ”

Wang Youcai looked at Zhao Dagou suspiciously, "Said you told you that Zheng Cheng had an accident?" It's not that I'm going to work abroad. ”

Zhao Dagou said disdainfully, "Can that waste son go abroad?" Don't be kidding, and what kind of work can make him have no news for two whole years, it seems that Zheng Jianguo went crazy after his son's accident. ”
