When Fang Zheng heard this, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. This was no longer an ordinary extreme behavior caused by a minor family conflict. The other party’s daughter made it clear that she didn’t care if she froze to death!

Fang Zheng asked: "Can you tell me the details?"

Liu Laoshi hesitated to speak, but finally said: "What should I say? I can't say much about their family's affairs. I'm afraid that others will say that I speak ill of them behind their backs. Master, everyone in our village knows about their family's affairs." , if you have time, go and take a look. My father-in-law is quite pitiful... "

Fang Zheng nodded slightly and said, "That's fine. I'll just follow the donor down the mountain to have a look. By the way, donor, have you called the police?"

Liu Laoshi said helplessly: "I didn't call the police, but Lao Jin, who saved my father-in-law, did. However, after the police came, my father-in-law refused to tell the truth. He just said that he wanted to run away from home, and it had nothing to do with my eldest sister. He said so, what can the police say? Lao Jin was so angry that he called me over, and now my father-in-law is at my house."

"Now, where is your father-in-law?" Fang Zheng asked.

"In my family, I don't mind if he lives in my house and I raise him. But you also know the situation of my family. It's already very difficult for me to support a whole family... Besides... well, it's hard to describe in one sentence." Liu said honestly.

Fang Zheng knew Liu Laoshi's character, and he couldn't do anything with three slaps. If he expected to ask everything from his mouth, it would probably be the end of the world. Instead of wasting time on him, it would be better to go for a walk in the village and listen to those who speak quickly, and you will be able to understand everything in one fell swoop.

So, Fang Zheng told his disciples, took Hong Boy and followed Liu Laoshi down the mountain.

The village where Liu Laoshi lives is called Wudaohezi, which is more than 20 kilometers away from Yizhi Village. The two of them hitched a ride down the mountain and walked for half an hour to get there.

Wudaohezi is located at the intersection of five small rivers. Local villagers once jokingly called their place the Jiangnan Water Town in Northeast China. But it is just a joking name. After all, compared with the houses in Jiangnan, the houses in the Northeast still lack the softness of Jiangnan and are a bit more rugged than those in the Northeast.

However, Wudaohezi is the best place to watch the rime nearby. Looking from a distance, you can see that the banks of the five rivers are full of willow trees! The water vapor rising from the river hung on the willow trees, instantly dyeing the willow trees white, making them hairy and silvery! Wudaohezi is hidden under these willow trees. The white roof and red courtyard walls can be seen in the music, which are reflected in the water. It is really beautiful.

Fang Zheng looked at it from a distance and couldn't help but admire it: "As expected of a water town in the Northeast, it's so beautiful."

Liu Laoshi scratched his head and said: "It looks good, but unfortunately, it can't be exchanged for money, so it's useless."

Fang Zheng also smiled helplessly at Liu Laoshi's thoughts...

Seeing Liu Laoshi striding ahead, Honghaier whispered to Fang Zheng, "Master, this guy is also obsessed with money."

Fang Zheng rubbed his head and whispered: "There are conditions for appreciating beauty. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get tired of it if you see it too much. What's more, when survival is not guaranteed, many people are not in the mood to live. Yes. Material is not absolute, but material can influence the direction of thought. People will only look for the direction of their dreams when they are not worried about survival."

Hong Hai'er seemed to understand, and whispered: "Master, is this the reason why you are greedy for money?"

Fang Zheng said nothing. He glanced around and saw no one was looking at him. So Fang Zheng raised his hand and slapped Hong Boy on the back of the head! My heart said: You stinky kid, what are you talking about

That's right, the reason why Fang Zheng likes money is because he was afraid of poverty when he was a child. He no longer wants to live a life where he occasionally doesn't have enough to eat, often doesn't have enough to eat, or the people closest to him starve themselves in order to keep him fed. Fang Zheng cherishes the beautiful memories of difficult times, but he knows better what kind of life he longs for.

Some people may say that Fang Zheng is materialistic and low-level in this aspect. But what Fang Zheng wants to say is: "The person who said this must not be short of money! At least he hasn't starved to death yet!"

Shaking his head to dispel the thoughts in his head, he quickly followed Liu Laoshi's footsteps into Wudaohezi Village.

As the village with the most rivers, Wudaohezi Village also has the most natural bridges. However, Fangzheng discovered that although Wudaohezi Village has many bridges, there are not many that can be called bridges in the true sense. Most of them are simple suspension bridges built with wooden boards and iron chains. This kind of bridge is okay for people to walk on, but it is absolutely impossible for cars to pass. Some bridges are just made of simple welded steel. The bridge deck is very narrow and can only pass people, not cars.

Honghai'er looked at such a small bridge and muttered: "Master, don't people in this village drive cars?"

Liu Laoshi heard this and turned around and said: "If we can't repair the bridge, who can afford to buy a car?"

"Then what do you do when you are farming?" Honghai'er asked.

Liu Laoshi said: "We have cattle, so we can cross the river. The river has relatively shallow parts. As long as there is no heavy rain or high water, we can basically pass."

Hong Haier looked down at the river below. Due to the cold weather, the river was basically frozen. You can also see some children playing on the ice. Red Boy asked: "Aren't these children afraid of falling into the river?"

Liu Laoshi said disapprovingly: "The ice is thick enough for one person, and a sports car can be driven on the ice. What's the point of running a few children? But you can't go to places where the river is not sealed. The ice there may crack at any time."

Hong Boy's eyes became a little more interested as he watched the children sliding on the sledge and the ice falling off.

"Want to play?" Fang Zheng asked.

Hong Boy immediately raised his head and said, "It's boring!"

Fang Zheng smiled slightly and followed Liu Laoshi into the village without exposing the little guy's thoughts.

Because the weather is too cold, the Northeast Kanye who likes to stand on the street chatting the most is nowhere to be found. There is a crack in the window of the house with the sign of a small store, and thick smoke is coming out. Obviously, these Kanye have become He became a smoke god and hid in to smoke.

Fang Zheng was not in a hurry to go to Liu Laoshi's house. Instead, he patted Liu Laoshi and indicated that he planned to go to the small shop.

Liu Laoshi was also dull. He scratched his head and said, "Oh, okay. I'll go back first. The chickens and ducks at home haven't been fed yet. Master, if you're done, go and sit at my house. My father-in-law is still at my house."

Fang Zheng clasped his hands together and nodded, indicating OK.

After Liu Laoshi left, Honghaier rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master, your emotional status is not as high as that of a chicken or a duck?"
