The Journey and the Dream
Xiao Fengxia was gone. She was really gone.
She left the house early in the morning and passed by a mountain path. She came to a bumpy village road and waited for the bus to the county town.
There was indeed a bus passing by this route. According to the regulations, there was a bus every hour. In fact, there were times when they waited for two to three hours, but not a single bus passed by. The reason was that the road conditions had always been too bad. No one was willing to pay to fix this road. Therefore, the phenomenon of the bus being late was a fact that had long been used to.
Feng Xia had been waiting for almost three hours, but the bus still didn't pass by. She was very anxious. After he took the bus from here to the county town, he had to buy a new ticket and change to the bus to the city. There were two buses from the county town to the city every morning and afternoon. If she missed it, she would not be able to go to the city today.
She waited for a while more and saw a farm truck driving over. She had no choice but to sit in the middle of the road. She couldn't be bothered to think about safety.
The coachman saw a girl sitting in the middle of the road. He took a closer look and exclaimed,"Wow! And she's a beauty!"
So he immediately stopped the car and asked,""Beauty, you're so beautiful. Is there something wrong with you that you want to find fault with me on the road?”
"My man dumped me." Feng Xia said.
"He must be a bastard! However, even if you want to find fault, you can't do it here! If I crush you to death, won't I be implicated too? Won't you cause me trouble?”
"I didn't choose this place originally. My man ran to the county town. I wanted to go to the county town to fight him to the death, but the bus on the road never came! What can I do? He could only give up on the idea of risking his life and die here!”
"Alright, alright! You're lucky today. We're fated. I've always liked to do good things. I'm going to the county town today. If you don't mind my broken car, get in quickly.”
"Then I'll thank you, big brother."
"I don't need you to thank me. If you can kiss me, even if I'm a bachelor, I'll have some luck in love this year.”
This request was not too much. What else could Feng Xia do? A kiss was fine. Feng Xia kissed him, and so she rode the almost scrapped farm car into the county town and sent him to the long-distance bus terminal.
Then, Feng Xia bought a ticket for a long-distance bus to the city. There was still more than an hour before she could get on the bus, so she went to a snack bar near the station to eat something as breakfast for the day. Then, she went to the grocery store to buy some dry food for the journey.
After paying, she realized that something was wrong. Why did I buy so much dry food? This is enough for me to eat for a week. Therefore, he decided to return some.
The shop owner said with a pleasant expression," Beauty, I see that you have traveled all over the world and are a very knowledgeable person. You should also know the rules of buying things, right? You have already bought and paid for it. How can you return it?"”
" Boss, this is too much," Feng Xia requested." I have to take a long-distance bus with such a big bag. It's so inconvenient!"”
The boss still had a very kind face. He continued," Beauty, how about this: If you really think it's inconvenient to bring it along, you can leave some of it with me. I won't charge you a single cent for the storage fee, but you can't leave it for more than two hours. If it's more than that, I'll throw it into the trash can.”
When Feng Xia heard this, she clearly felt that the boss was toying with her, so she snapped,"Not at all!"
The boss immediately said," Beauty, you're wrong. I like to accommodate beautiful women the most!" Don't be in a hurry to leave! Just go upstairs and we can make an exception!”
"Bah! A toad lusting after swan meat!" Xiao Fengxia cursed. She felt that today was especially unlucky. She had no choice but to carry the big bag of dry rations to the station.
When it was time to board the carriage, Feng Xia said to the coachman,""Big brother, this big bag contains dry rations. Can I put it in the suitcase under the car?”
The coachman said," If it's luggage, of course, it's fine. But this is dry food. It's something to be imported. The luggage below is unsanitary. You'd better twist it in your hand and carry it with you."”
After Feng Xia heard this, she felt that the coachman's words made sense, so she could only carry the big bag of dry rations in her hands.
After she got on the carriage, he realized that the seats were arranged to be particularly crowded. There was no room for movement in the seats. It was obvious that the coachman had added a number of seats in order to earn more money. There was no luggage rack on the roof of the car. He had no choice but to put the big bag of dry food on his lap.
After a while, the car started. The county was not big and there was not much development. Therefore, it did not take long for the car to leave the city.
However, it had been a long time since the car drove out of the city, but it still did not get on the highway. The passengers in the car began to complain.
"Driver, the tickets we bought are all for the highway. Why can't your car get on the highway?”
"Are you trying to rip us off?"
"If you don't get on the highway, we're going to complain about you!”
"Please be quiet!" the coachman said. This section of the highway is currently under repair and cannot be used for the time being. Please forgive me.”
A passenger immediately questioned,"Since the expressway is not open to traffic, then you shouldn't sell tickets for the expressway."”
The coachman replied,"The tickets are sold at the station. What does it have to do with me?"”
Feng Xia wondered if the highway was under repair or if the driver was trying to save on the toll fee. Anyway, it seemed like things weren't going well for me when I went out today. After I left home, I waited for a long time, but I still didn't see the bus that led to the county town. When they arrived at the county town, they couldn't even buy some dry food. Forget it, it's better for me to say less. I'll leave it to fate. Who cares what path it takes! Anyway, this car will reach its destination sooner or later. Why should I worry about it?
The car continued to move forward, and the argument in the car became more and more intense. Because Feng Xia's mood had been particularly bad for the past two days, she almost had insomnia at night. After getting on the car, the road was not good, and the car was bumpy. However, the jolt of the car made her very tired. Even though the quarrel in the car was getting louder, she fell asleep instead. The more she slept, the sweeter she slept. She even fell asleep unknowingly.
"Get up! Get out of the car!" Feng Xia was awakened by the driver's roar. She immediately asked,""Have we arrived?"
"We're here! Hurry up and get out of the car." the coachman said.
Feng Xia got out of the car to take a look. The car was clearly stuck in a pit and couldn't get up or walk!
At this moment, the coachman was holding a cigarette in his mouth. After taking a few puffs, he said in a glib tone,"Noisy! Wasn't everyone in good spirits? Continue arguing!"
Everyone was silent. The coachman took a few more puffs of his cigarette and continued,"I told you to stop arguing, but you didn't listen. The car was in a pit. Everyone must be happy now!”
A passenger chimed in." It's clearly your fault for not being good at cooking. How can you blame everyone for making a ruckus?"”
The coachman roared,"Humph! You old man, do you even understand reason? You guys are making such a big fuss. Won't you distract the pilot? You guys are lucky today. Fortunately, this car is still stuck in the pit. If it rolls down the cliff, I think everyone will die!”
With the coachman's roar, the " old man " was naturally speechless. Although the others were full of resentment, they did not know where to vent it, so they could only swallow their anger and wait.
The coachman finished the cigarette in his hand and began to speak slowly,"Do you want to leave or settle down here? If all of you have taken a fancy to such a good place with good Feng Shui and are willing to settle down here, then I'll fulfill your wish. As for me, I can only accompany you!”
"How can this be?" A passenger immediately shouted.
"Then, tell me what to do!”The coachman said in a lukewarm tone.
"Get in the car and start the engine! Let's push together. Look, the sky is covered with dark clouds. There might be a rainstorm soon!”
The coachman went up and started the carriage. Everyone pushed hard, but the carriage did not move at all.
"We can't do this! Everyone, listen to me!" It seemed that the passenger who said this must be a very experienced person.
Therefore, he asked everyone to find some small stones nearby. He also asked the coachman to take out the jack. He arranged for the coachman to operate the jack. He especially found some people with strong physical strength to lift the car up. The other two people put stones into the pit. Everyone worked together, and the pit was filled with a lot of small stones. At this time, he called the coachman to start the car, and the rest of the people continued to push the car.
He shouted," One, two, three." Everyone worked together, and the car could finally move forward.
However, the car did not run far when suddenly, thunder and lightning struck, and a storm followed. The visibility was naturally greatly reduced, but the car was still slowing down.
After another 20 to 30 kilometers, the car could no longer move forward. The huge flash flood caused the road to collapse, blocking the roads in front and behind the car.
The coachman lit a cigarette and turned around to face everyone. He said with a smile,"This is great! We are all trapped here, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, male or female, old or young. Anyway, there's no need for everyone to panic now. Let me tell you slowly: With this rainstorm, there would definitely be many collapses along the road. Even if they sent people to repair it, it would definitely take a month to solve the problem. What should everyone do? Let's see who can endure hunger and who can live longer. As the saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will be blessed. I can't win against you. Which of you has the longest life? After passing this tribulation, you can slowly enjoy your future blessings.”
After the driver finished speaking, he turned around and leaned back in his seat, not caring about anything else.
