This day was the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and heavy snow was flying. Before I knew it, the New Year was coming again.

Chen Feng, who is very familiar with the operation of grocery stores, has long been able to cook this shop alone, so Chen Shouye has completely freed.

But for some reason, Xiao Cui has been hiding from Chen Feng recently. He doesn't speak as much as before, and he rarely accompanys him to the lakeside. Although Chen Feng finds it strange, he is not convenient to ask in detail. When he goes out alone, Chen Feng can let the Blood Spirit Spider, Minghun and Baiyuche gopher come out for breathing, and he is happy. Unfortunately, without Xiao Cui around, he will lose a lot of fun. In addition, without Xiao Cui's guidance, he will explore how to play the recorder by himself, and his progress is often very slow.

It is worth mentioning that the third hidden meridian in Chen Feng's body may be opened at any time, and the carefully constructed local circulation is about to be completed.

Although there are still a few days before the New Year, the New Year goods that each company has already started to buy, and the business in the shop has improved a lot. However, the snow is too heavy and the weather is too cold today. Therefore, Chen Feng closed half of the store door early in accordance with Chen Shouye's instructions, and sat alone at the counter to study the stars and moon beads of the sky. He used secret consciousness and his own inexplicable induction to test it again and again, but the beads could withstand the temptation and there was no movement at all.

A long time later, Chen Feng shook his head in disappointment and yawned. He looked out of the window for a while. The world was already white. I wonder if the secrets of the Chixia Mountains were still chasing him after a year in this weather. No matter what, as long as Chen Feng did not show up on his own initiative, it would be difficult for them to find him in the huge world.

I wonder how the situation in the Chixia Mountains has been like this year? It has been a long time since I left Hongfeng Island, so what happened there? Has Hua Cuicui returned to the Shidao Continent with her aunt? How have friends such as Haoxue, Fang Qing, He Hong, He Qing, Cheng Susu been doing? The outside world is very wonderful, the world is like this in the world and the secret world. However, behind the wonderfulness are all the difficulties and dangers, which is not as peaceful and comfortable as this small grocery store.

Today, Yang and Xiao Cui did not go out to work, so they stayed at home to organize New Year's things. After a busy year, they should have a few days to take a break.

There is a custom near Yinhu Town, that is, marriage, moving, and grave relocation will be held before and after the New Year. In every occasion, red and yellow paper are indispensable. Therefore, Chen Feng prepared a large amount of inventory early. By chance, at the end of the year, the father of Shen Daguanren in the town passed away. He wanted to hold a big funeral, so he bought a large amount of red and yellow paper. Selling mount paper is a low-profit business, and few shops would be enthusiastic. Therefore, the paper in the cousin's grocery store was sold out. Therefore, the afternoon before yesterday, Chen Shouye went to Quanzhou City to purchase goods. Originally, Chen Feng insisted on going, but Chen Shouye said that there were still a few accounts to understand in Quanzhou City. Chen Feng did not know how to find someone, so he still had to go.

In the middle of the night last night, it suddenly started to snow heavily, and Yang and Xiao Cui couldn't help but be anxious. Before leaving, Chen Shouye said that he would be able to come back at noon the next day. Who would have thought that in the afternoon, Chen Shouye still did not come back. Chen Feng walked into the backyard and found that Yang and Xiao Cui were also very anxious. Chen Feng asked Yang to go to the shop to guard the shop, so he pushed open the half-closed door and walked out of the door in the wind and snow.

The north wind was cold, shaking the thin houses around. Snowflakes hit the face one after another, but it aroused Chen Feng a feeling of pleasure. Looking from afar, the mountains, rivers, fields, rivers and lakes were all connected together.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, but Chen Feng lived in the town for nearly half a year and easily found a wharf by Baiyin Lake. Chen Shouye always took a boat to Quanzhou from here.

After spending twice as much shipment as usual, Chen Feng hired a small boat to sail towards Quanzhou. After more than half an hour, he met Boss Liu who opened a tavern in the town. Chen Feng was familiar with him and asked him if he had seen Chen Shouye. Boss Liu said that Chen Shouye had set off from Quanzhou and returned to Yinhu Town half an hour before him.

Chen Feng ordered the boat to go forward for a while, and the river was gradually frozen. The boatman said that he was unwilling to move forward, so Chen Feng had to go back with the boat.

When he returned, the boat Chen Feng was on was overtaken by a huge two-story wooden boat. There were a few people on the wooden boat who looked like servants, constantly shouting, asking the boat Chen Feng was riding away. When he shouted, the words of the servants would naturally not be nice. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Shouye was in mind, Chen Feng would definitely teach them a lesson.

Chen Feng asked the boatman: "Whose servant is this, so arrogant?"

The boatman said, "Who else can it be? Do you see the flags and lanterns hanging on the boat? That's the ship of Shen Daguan's family. His servants don't need to kneel when they see the county magistrate, let alone shouting at us."

Chen Feng silently watched the Shen family's ship gradually fading away, and he couldn't help but think that the small Yinhu Town and the huge secret world were also like this.

After walking forward for a short while, Chen Feng also saw a similar boat capsized into the water, which was the boat that Boss Liu had been riding before.

At this time, the boatman and Boss Liu of the boat were lying on the edge of the already broken boat, constantly calling for help in the water.

Chen Feng and the boatman immediately took action and rescued the two of them. The boatman gave them a few pieces of clothes to change into.

"What's going on? Why did your ship overturn? And it's so bad?" Chen Feng asked.

"It's not that the Shen family's ship was hit. Because our ship encountered ice and dodged slowly, it was hit by the Shen family's ship. If it weren't for you, it would have lost even his life." Boss Liu said while trembling.

"What should I do? Our family of five depends on my boat to survive. Now my boat is broken and everything on the boat is gone. It's hard to say whether our family of five can survive the New Year..." At this point, the boatman who fell into the water started to feel miserable.

"Don't the Shen family compensate at all?" Chen Feng asked again.

"Hey, it's good to block the Shen family's ship road. If the Shen family is not dragged and beaten, how can it be compensated? The Shen family is powerful and can speak in the Quanzhou prefect. Even if it's in trouble, it's useless." said the boatman on the same boat.

After getting off the boat, getting on the dock, and leaving Boss Liu, Chen Feng saw the boatman who fell into the water trembling while crying and slowly walking home. He followed him and took out two ingots of silver and handed it to him and said, "Use this silver to buy a boat, or just do some small business!"

The boatman quickly refused: "How can this be? How can this be?"

Chen Feng forced the silver to him and said, "Don't mention this to others. Stay at ease." After that, he waved his hand and left.

On the empty snow, the boatman who took the silver kept kowtowing in the direction Chen Feng left, and could not get up for a long time.
