He didn't know if Zhou's mother didn't speak or if he didn't hear what she said. Was the voice covered by the wind?
"Are you still listening?" Zhou Muqing asked Zhou's mother, "give me an answer..." He never heard Zhou's mother speak, so he had no choice but to hang up the phone first.
The weather outside was really bad, Zhou Muqing took off his gloves when he picked up Zhou's mother's phone call, the cold air immediately made his hands astringent from the cold, and within a few seconds they turned red and froze.
Pippi watched him put down the phone and hurriedly helped him put on the gloves, "Auntie, please contact us after we go back. It shouldn't be too late."
"Um."
Zhou Muqing responded, his nose was already turning red from the cold.
After this little episode, Zhou Muqing and Pippi continued to walk forward with difficulty, and the snow started to float up again after a while, and it seemed that it was bigger than when they went out.
Seeing this situation, Pippi was a little worried, "Shall we go on?" She frowned.
"If we keep going, will we also be stuck on the road?"
She was very worried, so worried that she dared not move forward.
"If you don't want to, we will not go forward. I will contact the driver now to see if he can try his best to come in our direction, and then we will give him the things we brought."
"good."
After Pippi responded, Zhou Muqing took off his gloves again and dialed the driver's phone number.
It was only a few hundred meters away from where they were just now, and it was really difficult for them to move forward.
...
"Hello! Mr. Zhou? Is it Mr. Zhou?"
The screen of the driver's mobile phone was frozen, and the whistling wind allowed him to distinguish it with only a little sound.
"Yes, we are walking in your direction. We are afraid that you will be too cold and hungry tonight, so we have brought you food and clothing. But we are also going in a very difficult way now, so you are also walking in our direction, so that closer."
"Huh? Oh, well..."
The voice in the mobile phone was intermittent, but the driver roughly understood it.
Zhou Muqing and Pippi insisted on walking again, and after a while, they saw the figure of the driver in the wind and snow. He was indeed wearing relatively thin clothes, far worse than the current equipment of Pippi and Zhou Muqing.
As soon as the driver saw Pippi and Zhou Muqing, he quickened his pace. He was also a local, so the road conditions were smoother than Pippi and Zhou Muqing.
He successfully got the sympathy items brought by Pippi and Zhou Muqing, "Thank you, thank you, I was afraid that I would run out of food, you are so considerate, you are still thinking about these things."
"Sorry, I shouldn't have arranged for you to deliver the car today."
Zhou Muqing apologized to the driver, who explained the situation indifferently, "We're used to it, it's normal to be stuck on the road, just wait a little longer. Mr. Zhou doesn't have to be so sorry, if you say sorry, it should be For me, I didn't complete your request...don't worry, I will return the money to you."
"No, you can just send the car over when the weather improves tomorrow."
"Well, that's fine."
The driver smiled and happily hugged the food they delivered.
"Okay, you guys go back quickly, I think it's snowing again here, the road is not easy...I'll go back to the car first."
"Um."
The driver was wearing thin clothes, and he couldn't put on his clothes outside, so he immediately turned around and walked towards the parking direction after speaking.
Pippi hesitated whether to ask the driver to follow them back to the villa first, anyway, the distance is not far away, they have all come this way, the driver must be fine.
