After several rains, the heat of summer disappeared without a trace, and even the air was filled with a wet breath. Liu Junhao has been stuck in the house these days. On the contrary, Professor Zhao is more adaptable to such weather and lives leisurely. Sometimes he takes advantage of the rain to go to the backyard to pick up half a bowl of chrysanthemum lotus and stir-fry it, or he goes to the tree to break the fungus.

These two things grow very fast on rainy days, especially the fungus. The hairy wolfberry tree in the yard that had been dead for a year or two grew everywhere.

Having said that, Professor Zhao's cooking skills are growing day by day. He has no real work after retirement. Recently, except for some research, he spent all his time eating. He also asked Wang Shengli to bring him a few recipes. He thought about it when he was free. Now he is half a chef.

On the fourth day, the weather completely cleared, and the scorching sun reappeared in the sky showing off its power. At this moment, Liu Junhao and Ermazi had already arrived at the county joint venture station. Many numb drivers looked at them and thought they had just gotten off the bus, so they went forward to solicit business.

They took Dr. Wang's private car to the county town early in the morning. At the beginning, the dirt road on the mountain was very difficult to walk, and the bumps and bumps almost made Liu Junhao, who had been pampering recently, fall apart. Fortunately, this state lasted only half an hour before it arrived on the newly built highway, and the car got up quickly.

He and Ermazi both showed joy in their eyes. After the road was repaired, it would take only one and a half hours to go from Daqingshan to the county town. In the past, it would take nearly two hours to go alone on that mountain road.

Compared with Daqingshan, the county town is simply in the sky and underground, with bustling everywhere and indescribable prosperity. Ermazi was still admiring at first, but after eating a lot of exhaust gas from the car, he coughed and said, "The air is better in our place. Living in such a place may lead to a short life."

Nowadays, there are luxury buses leading to major cities in the province every day in the county. After the two bought tickets, they would sit in the bus early when they left. Because they brought the money, they did not sit in front, but sat in the last row of the cars.

Originally, Liu Junhao advised him to deposit the money on his card and get it at the place. It would be much safer, but after Ermazi asked clearly that it would cost dozens of dollars to do so, he disagreed and insisted on carrying it with him. There was no way Liu Junhao had to follow his wishes. However, when he was in the car, he specially asked him to sit on the side of the car window.

When the seat on the car was less than halfway, the driver had already started the car. After leaving the station, someone stopped the car and got on the car less than fifty meters away. The ticket seller actually charged him ten yuan less, which made many people get on the car first and started to scream.

"What's the name? Who told you to take a bus at the station? You have to pay the invoice, of course it's expensive." The ticket seller's indifferent explanation made Ermazi feel distressed again, saying that he had known that he would have taken a bus outside the station.

Along the way, I encountered many people who stopped cars halfway through, and the collection was cheaper than the station, so Ermazi muttered for a long time.

Although the air conditioner was driving in the car, it was still a little hot. In addition, the windows were closed and the air was not circulating smoothly. After a while, most of the passengers in the car became drowsy. Liu Junhao held on for a while and couldn't help but fall into his head in the seat.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly the ticket seller shouted: “I feel like I’m sleeping. There are often thieves getting on the bus in front. Be careful.”

Ermazi immediately touched his pocket nervously after hearing this, and felt relieved when he found that the money was still there.

Seeing that some people were still sleeping in their seats, the ticket seller woke them up one by one, asking them to get energetic and not dozing off during this period. From this point of view, Liu Junhao found that this sturdy ticket seller was still very good.

Sure enough, a lot of people stopped the car in a short while, and the driver stopped the car helplessly. This time, seven or eight people came up, and the carriage was filled with all at once, and there were three or four people who didn't even have seats.

With the reminder from the ticket seller just now, the passengers on the bus were very alarmed and no one went to bed. After about half an hour, four people who got on the bus just now went down, and the ticket seller breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay now. Everyone touched their pockets to see if the money was lost?"

After half a minute, no one answered, and he explained again: "The place was the waiting point just now, and thieves often waited for the bus there. Because there were other people taking the bus, we couldn't help but let them go. I hope everyone forgive me." This explanation changed the view of most passengers on them a lot, and no one cares about the extra ten yuan at the station. After all, it's not easy to do anything these days, and drivers are just trying to make more money.

At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the bus finally drove into the station. Although he had seen the prosperity of the county town, Ermazi was still deeply shocked again. Liu Junhao was a little better. At least he had been to the county town several times when he was in school. Ermazi was different. Although he was relatively smart in the village, the farthest place in his life was to dig seedlings in other towns for a few days. This busy scene made him feel like Liu Laolao who had entered the Grand View Garden, sighing endlessly.

"Xiaohao, do you know where is the south? Is it the direction?" Ermazi stood outside the station, pointing to the east and asked loudly, immediately attracting several people waiting for the taxi to look at each other.

"Uncle Guangxi, this is Dong." Liu Junhao hurriedly pulled him away.

In fact, many rural people get confused when they first arrive in the city, and their sense of direction becomes very poor. This is mainly because generally rural buildings are built in a pattern facing north and south, while in the city is different. With the obstruction of tall buildings, it is difficult to see the sun, so unfamiliar people are easily lost.

Unlike Ermazi's behavior of entering the Grand View Garden, he felt an indescribable tension and depression. The crowded vehicles on the road kept making harsh noises. Everyone here was in a hurry, with no smile on their faces, but they looked indifferent.

No wonder the city people kept running to Liujiagou, and Professor Zhao even had to take care of his old age.

The environment of Daqingshan is beautiful, and the life of the country people is leisurely. They work in the fields during the day and chat together at night. They do not make hearty laughs. You can't find such a life in the city. There are no deafening frogs and no flashing fireflies in the city.

For a moment, Liu Junhao actually missed the things at home. I wonder if Xiaopi would be uncomfortable if he left him for a few days. Those half-large rabbits should not eat dew grass and then get diarrhea...

They didn't walk far away, so they found a small restaurant not far from the station to have a meal. Liu Junhao was hungry for most of the day and quickly ate a large bowl of noodles. After eating, he asked Ermazi to wait there and went to the newsstand to buy a map. When he was out, the map could not be saved.

The business of the newsstand was quite booming. He waited for a few minutes before buying a map and paid five dollars. But when he walked back, he saw several people around Ermazi and said something on the side of the road, and another person wanted to pull him away.

What happened again? Liu Junhao was shocked and hurriedly rushed up and grabbed Ermazi and asked, "Uncle Guangxi, what's wrong?"

"Who are you, are you with him?" Several people looked at Liu Junhao vigilantly.

"He is my uncle, why do you pull him? Let go quickly"

"That's right, this little brother," the man in black explained, "I just lost my wallet, your uncle and this gentleman picked it up..."

Unexpectedly, so many things happened in the blink of an eye. It turned out that after Ermazi finished the meal and settled the bill, he saw that there were many people eating, so he felt embarrassed to stay in other people's restaurants again, so he left the restaurant with a big bag. Who knew that he had just walked a few steps and saw a man in black dropping a wallet. He was about to call when his wallet was picked up by a man in glasses, and the man in black left in a taxi.

After picking up the money, the man walked straight to Ermazi and wanted to share it with him. He accidentally opened his wallet and showed a stack of hundreds of yuan bills inside.

Although Ermazi was a little moved, he knew that such ill-gotten gains could not be taken, and this thing was hot. So he refused sternly, saying that he should return the money to the owner when he found it. The man wearing glasses said he didn't agree with anything. While the two were arguing, the owner rushed back in a taxi and saw the bag in his hand in glasses at a glance and chased him.

The man in glasses had to return the bag, but the man in black checked the cash in the bag and said that he had lost 3,000 yuan and a bank card. He must have been taken away by the two of them, so he clamored not to let them go, and he had to determine who had actually taken his money and said he wanted to go to the bank. At this time, a man who was helping him on the roadside also said that he would go to the bank to prove his innocence.

Although Liu Junhao had encountered such a thing for the first time, he also heard the strangeness here. He thought for a while and said, "It's so troublesome to go to the bank. It's better to go to the station police station. It's less than five hundred meters ahead. Let's go now. It's not better to let the police search..." As he said that, he was about to pull the man in glasses to the police station.

Several people were stunned for a moment, and the man in black suddenly slapped his head and said, "I remembered that the bank card and three thousand coins were put in another wallet. I took the wrong bag when I went out. I was really sorry, I was really sorry..."

The man in glasses also broke free from Liu Junhao's pull and said, "Since it's okay, you don't have to go to the police station. I have something to do, so let's go first." Then the man in black also hurriedly left, and several onlookers dispersed. However, an old man in his fifties and sixties patted Liu Junhao's shoulder and said, "You young man was shocked, otherwise you would have been deceived by these people again. Alas, these people are simply stinking shit from the city, and they are specializing in cheating outsiders."
