It's freezing cold outside, and the snow that fell all night is still falling sparsely. The temperature on the mountain now is estimated to be several degrees below zero.
Jiang Qiao was so cold that he kept rubbing his hands. He was not well prepared for his first winter in the mountains. He would have to prepare gloves, scarves and other things in advance for next year. Only Fairy Bai remained calm.
He closed the shop, and Bai Yueling was slightly confused: "Don't you want to drive?"
Jiang Qiao let out a breath of white air: "It's snowy and the road is slippery. It's easy to get into accidents while riding a bicycle. What's more, according to traffic regulations, small electric donkeys cannot carry people."
"oh."
"Go down the mountain first. There are buses going into the city on the way."
She nodded lightly, just listen to Jiang Qiao's advice on this kind of thing. Anyway, even if she walked into the city, it wouldn't matter. She had done this kind of thing like measuring the earth on foot countless times.
Jiang Qiao took two masks from his backpack and handed one to her: "Wear a mask when going out. Although the country's epidemic prevention measures are very good, we can't let the government worry about it. At the same time, we are responsible for ourselves and our loved ones."
She nodded and frowned slightly after putting on the mask like Jiang Qiao. The smell of the mask was a bit strange.
"Let's go."
He held an umbrella and went down the mountain side by side with Fairy Bai. Fu Lu Shou Xi was very quiet in his bag and did not make any fuss.
Seeing that his hand holding the umbrella was exposed to the outside air and turned red from the cold, Fairy Bai couldn't bear it: "I'll do it."
"That's so embarrassing."
He said this, but he was not polite at all and handed the umbrella to her, which made Bai Yueling just roll her eyes.
The road down the mountain was winding and winding, and the distance was just over one kilometer, less than two kilometers. It had been snowing all day and all night, and the Fairy Peak was covered in snow. At a glance, there was no trace of anyone except the two of them.
Jiang Qiao jumped up and down all the way. Not to mention tired after dancing for a long time, he was still very cold.
Bai Yueling saw him shrinking his neck and curling up into a ball and said calmly: "Only those with weak bodies are afraid of the cold. If you exercise more as I said, you won't be like this."
"Well, I'll definitely do it next time."
"How many times have you said this?"
"... I didn't expect you to see through all this."
Bai Yueling was speechless. She didn't know how he could say these words confidently.
"Take your hands out."
"Are you trying to shock me again?" Jiang Qiao looked at her warily.
"Don't be wordy, I want to shock you, do you still need your hand?"
He reluctantly took out his hand and whispered softly: "It's so cold outside, if you stay for one second longer, it may cause a tenth degree of freezing..."
Bai Yueling silently held his hand. Jiang Qiao's body froze, and his brain short-circuited for an instant, ah...
"Walk well and don't think too much." She stared ahead expressionlessly.
after a little while.
"Is it still cold yet?"
Jiang Qiao's tone was dull: "Are you nervous? My hand is numb when you hold it."
“…”
She resisted the urge to slap him to death, took a deep breath and relaxed her body.
"It's still very cold, how about you rub it for me like last time?"
"Do you want me to help you with electricity like last time?"
Jiang Qiao stopped talking for a moment.
Occasionally, he met security guards patrolling scenic spots on the road. Jiang Qiao knew them all and nodded to each other as greetings. However, the security guard was very angry when he saw a beautiful woman holding an umbrella for him in such a cold weather.
After going down the mountain, the two of them waited on the side of the road for a while. A minibus coming into the city came. He took out his bus card and swiped it twice in a row for two yuan each time.
All the passengers in the car wore masks like them. Jiang Qiao took a look and saw that there were exactly two seats in the back seat. He pulled Bai Yueling to sit by the window.
"Is this the bus you're talking about?"
"Not all families can afford to buy a car. The bus occupancy rate is high, the price is cheap, and the working people can afford it. Special groups are even free of charge. This is also part of the national livelihood project."
Fairy Bai felt emotional.
In Ziweixing, she was used to seeing scenes of "bones frozen to death on the road". The development over tens of millions of years was less than one thousand percent of the country's development over several decades. How could she achieve this for the people at the bottom? , it is simply a blessing to be released into the immortal world.
After coming back to her senses, she looked down at Jiang Qiao's dog paws.
"It's not cold in the car, can you let go of my hand?"
Jiang Qiao withdrew his hand with a nonchalant look on his face, blinking with an innocent expression: "You were the one holding my hand just now..."
"... If you keep making excuses, believe it or not, I'll shock you?"
"Ah, fairy, have mercy on me."
"snort."
She hummed softly and turned to look out the window, not wanting to pay attention to this guy who was not doing anything right all day long.
As we left the Fairy Peak Scenic Area, we could no longer see the snow on the road. Only when we turned back could we see the vast expanse of white halfway up the mountainside.
The bus doesn't drive very fast, it stops and goes, and it's very humane. From time to time, passengers get on the bus, and then they take out the same card as Jiang Qiao's and swipe it, or pay honestly.
After a while, the bus stopped again and did not restart for a long time.
"What happened ahead?" she asked.
Jiang Qiao stretched his neck out of the window and took a look. There seemed to be a car accident on the curve ahead. It looked like someone was overtaking on the curve and collided with an oncoming car. The front of the car was deformed. I hope he was okay.
"There was a car accident, so whether you are a pedestrian or a car, you need to obey the traffic rules, otherwise it is easy to get into an accident."
Fairy Bai nodded slightly and kept this in mind. Although she was not afraid of being hit, she would probably be miserable if her car hit her.
After a few minutes, after collecting evidence from the scene, the two cars involved in the accident were moved to the side of the road, so that they could not block traffic in any case.
"Let's go home first."
After arriving at the station, Jiang Qiao hailed a taxi and returned to the community where his father, queen and mother lived. He took out his key and opened the door. Both of them were still at work, and there was no one in the house.
"You go in first. You don't need to take off your shoes. You just sit around. There are disposable paper cups on the coffee table. If you're thirsty, you can go to the water dispenser and fill it with water."
Jiang Qiao took Fu Lu Shou Xi out of his schoolbag. Seeing the unfamiliar environment, the two little ones were a little scared.
Fairy Bai looked around curiously. His parents' house was much larger than the small building on the mountain. The living room was spacious and bright, and there was an independent dining room. The floor seemed to be made of wood, which was very comfortable to walk on. The walls were white and the interior decoration was very nice.
"Where are your parents?"
"At work."
"oh."
After mixing the milk powder and getting cat litter, Jiang Qiao took a look at the time. It was almost 11 o'clock.
He took out his mobile phone and sent a V message to Xia Qinghe: "Mother Huang, my son has gone home."
"Where is my daughter-in-law?"
Messages come back instantly. If you don’t care about your son, you care about your daughter-in-law first.
Jiang Qiao guessed that she probably had no classes at the moment.
He guiltily walked aside to prevent Fairy Bai from seeing the chat.
"We're back together. Please don't bark at night. You haven't even changed your horoscope yet."
