The minibus braked urgently, wiped out a distance along the road, and stopped in front of the snowdrift dangerously, the passengers inertia went forward, and those who fell asleep were awakened, and the proprietress also sat up with an umbrella and wiped the corners of her mouth.

Zhou Fengchen pressed his seat and said to the Yuanzhi monk: "You are still not happy, the snow has been read down by you."

The Yuan Zhi monk was also bored, and said seriously, "The mana is too strong, so I won't catch it!" ”

At this time, the passengers looked up at the front and discussed, and the driver lit a cigarette, "The road is blocked, I can't pass, I have to return to the station the same way!" ”

The proprietress was anxious when she heard this, and asked, "It's been fifty or sixty miles away, how can I go back?" Can't we go the other way? ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! The passengers chimed in.

The driver said: "There is no road, there are mountains here, how can there be so many roads, this road is the widest, and the other roads are very dangerous, and people fell to death two days ago."

A passenger asked, "What if we are in a hurry to go home?"

The driver was also arrogant enough, "What's the hurry, go back to the station and wait for two days, it's good if the road is open, or take a helicopter over!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a dialect chattered, and when I heard it, it was swearing.

The proprietress gritted her teeth and said to Zhou Fengchen and the others: "Forget it, let's get out of the car and climb over, and we can walk more than ten miles to another town."

Zhou Fengchen and Monk Yuanzhi glanced at each other, followed the proprietress off with their luggage, and watched the bus carrying passengers slowly backwards, and soon disappeared into the vast snow, Monk Yuanzhi asked: "Do you need to be in such a hurry?" In this wilderness, there is no shop in front of the village and no store in the back, and it is still snowing! ”

The proprietress let out a breath of hot air and said with a sad expression: "There are still two hundred miles to go home, and it has been three years, and I really want to see my husband, even if it is a corpse!"

Zhou Fengchen shook his head, "Then let's go!" ”

The three of them climbed over the snowdrifts and walked forward against the wind and snow, and when they first got out of the car, they were still a little cold, but after walking a few kilometers, they all began to sweat.

The goose feathers and snow are fluttering, and the hills, valleys, and trees near and far are all dyed white.

Zhou Fengchen and Monk Yuanzhi had a snowball fight bored as they walked.

Monk Yuanzhi smiled strangely at first, thinking it was funny, but what level is Zhou Fengchen? After a while, he was smashed all over the snow, his body was wet, and he suddenly became anxious, "Whoever smashes me again, who is the grandson!" Don't bring such a bully! ”

Zhou Fengchen laughed, and even the preoccupied proprietress was amused.

I walked like this for two hours, it was almost dark, and no matter how beautiful the scenery was, there were times when I was tired of seeing it, and seeing that there was no half of the town in front of me, the monk Yuanzhi looked a little embarrassed, so he asked the proprietress, "Have you made a mistake?" Didn't you say that you would get to the next town in a dozen miles? How many miles have we walked? I can't stand this physique! ”

The proprietress was also a little confused, "It's too far away from my house, and I'm not familiar with it, it seems that there is a town, I forgot!" ”

"Forgot?" Monk Yuanzhi looked at Zhou Fengchen, "This is too unreliable!" It's impossible for us to squat in the snow overnight on a snowy day, right? ”

Zhou Fengchen looked back and forth, "Don't ask me, I don't know what to do." ”

A few people walked depressedly for a while, and the Yuanzhi monk pointed to the front with sharp eyes, "There is a small bridge over there, go over and see where it leads." ”

The three of them trotted to the side of the bridge, only to see that it was a fork in the river, and there were a few shallow footprints on the bridge deck, and there was a faint outline of the town at the end.

Monk Yuanzhi laughed, "The mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the small buckle firewood has not been opened for a long time, and it has fallen tonight." ”

"What nonsense!" Zhou Fengchen took a sip and waved his hand, "Spend the night tonight and hurry tomorrow morning!" ”

The three of them stepped on the snow, creaking, creaking forward, they had not eaten well in the car for the past few days, and they were discussing what to eat in the town later, when a group of people came in front of them, and they looked very anxious with hot air in their mouths.

Zhou Fengchen and the three of them were surprised, there were mountains behind them, what were these people going to do? Just as he was about to get aside, an old man who was the leader of the group looked at the old pocket watch on his wrist, led the people to stop in front of them, and asked excitedly in Mandarin with a strong dialect flavor: "Which one is Zhou Gong?"

Zhou Fengchen and the three of them looked at each other, and they all felt inexplicable, what the hell is Zhou Gong, did he recognize the wrong person?

The monk Yuanzhi made a look, meaning to ignore it, so the three of them were silent, spared a bend and continued to walk forward, but the old man and people caught up again, and said with a dry smile: "May I ask if you are from the east?" Snow collapsing on the road? ”

It's a bit odd to say, how did he know we were coming from the east, and how did he know that the snow had fallen on the road?

Zhou Fengchen and the three of them stopped, and the Yuanzhi monk frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

The old man laughed and said, "Are you Duke Zhou?"

"Zhou Gong?" The Yuan Zhi monk and the proprietress looked at Zhou Fengchen, "Let's just take your surname Zhou, are we looking for you?" ”

"Isn't that? Which onion do I know they are? Zhou Fengchen felt very strange, whispered, turned around and asked the old man: "My surname is Zhou, but I don't call Zhou Gong, the snow did fall on the road, what's wrong?" What exactly do you mean? ”

"That's you, that's you!" The old man and the group were so excited that they said, "We are here to invite you."

"Excuse me?" Zhou Fengchen was stunned, "What are you asking me to do, I don't know you." ”

The old man rubbed his hands together and said, "That's it, it's ...... A fish asked me to come. ”

"Uh-" Zhou Fengchen was stunned for a moment.

When the Yuan Zhi monk heard this, he was furious, "Old man, are you sick?" What do you mean, looking for something? ”

Zhou Fengchen's face was also gloomy.

The old man wept and said, "I know it's strange to say that, but it was really a fish that made me come, and it's a bit of a long story."

Zhou Fengchen said: "Then you will make a long story short!"

"Hey! That's it......" the old man said with a bitter face.

The town in front is called Jiuweng Town, this old man's surname is Xu, he is a retired old cadre in the town, his family does mountain mushroom trading, he is very rich, he is richer than the average city person, there is a good saying, called "poor ** plan, rich conscience", if this person is poor and afraid, it is inevitable that he will have some crooked thoughts and do some bad things to make a windfall, but on the contrary, he is very rich, there is no pursuit, he will think about doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, Xu Laotou has nothing at home, thinking about doing something good, he often builds a bridge and paves a road, helps the poor or something, Very good reputation in the neighborhood.

Of course, this matter has little to do with how much money he has and how good his character is, and the old man is a little verbose. Let's just say that a while ago, old man Xu was sleeping one night, and suddenly dreamed of a big carp, and the big carp cried at him.

Old man Xu felt strange, so he asked the big carp, why are you crying?

The big carp has its mouth one by one, and it can also speak human words, saying Uncle Xu, you can save me, I am Zhang Feng from Willow Town, thirty miles away!

Old man Xu was taken aback, Zhang Feng he knew, he was engaged in food processing and trading, opened a company, and was a well-known farmer entrepreneur in the neighborhood, but why did he become a fish and come to me?
