Chapter 40 Section 3

"From tonight to tomorrow during the day, there will be strong winds and cooling weather in this province, the wind force is 5 to 6, and the minimum temperature is minus 4 degrees Celsius..." The car radio hissed the weather forecast. A hand suddenly slapped on the window. Zhang Dashan raised his head from the steering wheel, wiped his sleepy eyes, looked out the window at the farmer in a blue coarse shirt, and cursed viciously: "You are reporting a funeral, what are you shooting for?!" The farmer was taken aback, "I...I just want to ask you if you can go." Zhang Dashan looked back at the minibus he was driving. It was not full of people, and he wanted to wait a little longer. Each one contains the iron-blue wind... Forget it, don't wait, he said to the farmer: "Go, go right away!"

The farmer came up, and Zhang Dashan was about to close the car door, when a person jumped up with a plop, and it was Chen Shaoling.The eyes of the two people met, and they were both stunned.Zhang Dashan tore off a canvas bag from the passenger seat, pointed to the empty seat and said, "You, sit here." Chen Shaoling sat down firmly before Zhang Dashan started the car. "Training over?" he asked. "Ok." "Collect the money for me, two yuan per person." Chen Shaoling stood up and frantically collected the money.There was a rustling and clanging sound, and after a while, she poured a handful of steel coins and banknotes into a small black bag next to the tea mug.After thinking about it, he took out two yuan from his trouser pocket and put it in. "Take it back!" Zhang Dashan said in a low voice, "You take my car, no money!"

"Then I won't sit down." Chen Shaoling said coldly, seeing that Zhang Dashan stopped talking, she sat down on the seat.In the shaking of the vehicle, she leaned her head back sleepily and closed her eyes. When she woke up, she found that she was covered with Zhang Dashan's coat. She touched her waist and put on her seat belt at some point. She looked at the straight road ahead, like an umbilical cord that divided the grassland into two halves... The rearview mirror showed that the minibus was empty except for the two of them. "I heard you're engaged?" Chen Shaoling asked suddenly.

Zhang Dashan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Well, the second daughter of Old Qi's family in the east of the township, my mother brought me to the door yesterday." "It's called Qi Yanhong?" Chen Shaoling said. "right." "I recognize that girl, we are in middle school, two grades younger than us, right?" "right." Chen Shaoling hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "I remember her mind is not working well..." "right." "Then why are you with her..." "Do I have a choice?!" Zhang Dashan suddenly said loudly.

Chen Shaoling was taken aback and fell silent. "Do I have a choice..." Zhang Dashan suddenly laughed miserably, "An old prisoner in the prison told me that you are destined to be a lamb, and you should not struggle when the eagle catches you , or die faster and worse!" Chen Shaoling looked at him. "So I resigned to my fate, I resigned to my fate. This fate can't spoil me anymore, right? The result? Because my family is poor, I'm never on the commutation list, but I've been in jail for three years!" Chen Shaoling turned her eyes to the distance: on the withered yellow meadow, there is a row of brown Chinese pines, and a winding river with sparkling waves... the wind is blowing.

"Old people always like to say: after the night is the day. There is a meaning of hope in it, but I know my fate, I don't have a day... I don't want to involve the good girl of other people's family. The daughter of the old Qi family is a little stupid , but he is very nice and fits me well." Zhang Dashan blinked his eyes hard, as if his vision was blurred by something, "Do you still remember your mother? She waited so foolishly for someone all her life, we No one in the village would say that she is mentally ill, or that she is fighting against fate? In fact, I have admired her since I was a child. The tears of people of their generation are hot, and the blood of our generation is cold—— — But I can't do what she did, I waited, but fate told me: Don't wait..."

There was a dead silence in the carriage. After an unknown amount of time, a voice suddenly came from the back of the carriage, "Master, stop the car in front." The two were shocked, why is there still someone in the car?Zhang Dashan slammed on the brakes, and when he looked back, it was a woman in black with sunglasses on the upper half of her face and a scarf on the lower half of her face. "Where are you going?" Zhang Dashan asked. "I'm a tourist, let's go to Lake of Tears to have a look." The woman in black said, "Just park your car here, I'm going down."

Zhang Dashan looked at his watch and said, "It's already four o'clock in the afternoon. There will be a strong wind in this grassland soon, and there won't be too many cars entering and leaving the village. I guess you have to stay here tonight. By the Lake of Tears There was a hotel called Hupanlou, something happened and it was closed by the police. If you stay overnight, you can go to the grassland hotel in front of the road.” He pointed to a small brick red building standing on the side of the national road in the distance. "Thank you!" The woman in black got out of the car with her big black satchel.

Chen Shaoling looked around, and suddenly said, "Dashanzi, this... seems to be the place where we almost bumped into that woman in white?" Zhang Dashan didn't speak, and drove straight into the village.When I was about to reach the police station, I saw several police cars driving outside from a distance. Carrot stood at the gate and waved, as if saying goodbye.So Zhang Dashan parked the car next to Carrot, "Uncle Hu, what are you doing here?" Carrot smiled, "The case was solved. The murderer was caught in Beijing. Director Li of the County Public Security Bureau led the police to withdraw first, and the lakeside building was also unsealed. Then Li Dazui is ridiculous, saying that there are people there. The six ghosts dare not go back even if they die."
