Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 577 "Returning to One's Roots": Old Zhao also has a home now!

Old Zhao poured himself two glasses of wine, drank one himself, and poured the other one for someone else.

But the person opposite him was clearly not up to it; the drink couldn't be swallowed at all and instead dripped down his chin onto the table.

Yes, because this person is already slumped over this small bar table.

Judging from this, Old Zhao isn't a very good guy.

Your friend is already completely drunk, and you still want to force him to drink?
He's a bad guy.

But then, everyone understood.

It turns out that Lao Zhao was pretending when he got his friend drunk.

His friend was dead, so Old Zhao had no choice but to resort to this method of getting drunk in order to get on the long-distance bus.

Otherwise, long-distance buses wouldn't allow dead people on board.

Now, this dead friend is a drunkard reeking of alcohol and wearing sunglasses.

Old Zhao's friend suddenly died while drinking a few days ago. Because of a promise, Old Nuo decided to take his friend on the road.

Come back home.

But it wasn't easy from the start.

After the long-distance bus has been running for a while, we take a break so everyone can use the restroom.

Let's divide men and women into two groups.

Old Zhao also got out of the car to relieve himself, but when he got back in, he found that something had happened.

Several women pointed at their 'friend' and said that he was watching them use the toilet.

"What can he see? He's drunk as a dead pig."

Old Zhao said it with a smile, clearly hoping to defuse the situation with his smile.

Unfortunately, those women wouldn't let it go.

"I just saw him leering at me!"

This……

Not to mention Old Zhao, everyone knows that this woman made it all up.

"You've drunk so much, what can you even see?!"

Old Zhao was scolded by his friend and kept apologizing before the storm was calmed down.

Unfortunately, their good fortune didn't last long; not long after, they encountered highway robbers.

At first, someone pretended to be injured in a car accident, until this group got into their car and showed off their weapons.

Fortune and honor are sought in danger! Evil arises from the gall!

Just letting you know, the robbery is starting now...

A short, chubby man with a dark complexion arrived, and everyone recognized him as Lao Guo.

Many people burst into laughter.

Even Jing Tian couldn't hold back.

I never expected that this recently popular crosstalk comedian would play a robber here.

Of course, no one, including Guo Degang himself, could have imagined that "Getting Home" would be the highest-rated film he has ever acted in.

And then Lao Guo managed to snatch Lao Zhao's place.

Old Zhao gave him his own money, but what about his friend's money...?

"Can you take money from a dead person?"

Finally, Old Zhao couldn't hide it any longer and told the whole story.

Old Guo, the robber, was quite moved after hearing this.

He simply turned around... and it lit up!
Righteous... Oh no, there's a fake word on it.

When the phrase "fake loyalty" appeared, everyone at the film festival laughed.

Even Guo himself.

Fortunately, this feigned righteousness was a mistake Lao Guo made in the past, and this time he did a good deed.

He had put all the money and valuables he had stolen into his hat, which was now full.

No, I don't want it!
The robber tucked himself into Old Zhao's arms and then turned and left.

He also gave a special instruction: no one is allowed to take his money!

Unexpectedly, this highway robbery crisis was resolved just like that.

Logically, everyone on the bus should be thanking Lao Zhao, right?

Unfortunately, the car hadn't been driven far when someone reached out.

"this is mine!"

"mine……"

In less than a minute, all the money and valuables in that hat had disappeared.

Old Zhao's expression was strange.

The robbers didn't rob him, but the passengers he helped seemed to have robbed him.

Why does it seem like it's added?
It has to be added because the money and valuables truly belong to the passengers.

But why didn't the passengers dare to say a word to the robbers before?

Is Old Zhao the only one guarding the money of his deceased friend?
It's hard to say, really hard to say.

Perhaps there's a reason behind this, or perhaps there isn't.

This scene, however, is both laughable and pathetic.

But what happened next was infuriating.

The passengers kicked Lao Zhao and his friends off the bus.

Old Zhao carrying his deceased friend on his back...it's truly heartbreaking.

Next, Lao Zhao could only try to flag down a car, but since his friend was dead, it would be difficult to stop a car. So, he had no choice but to continue pretending that his friend was drunk and making various gestures for him.

Things like CPR.

It made the audience laugh.

But none of the cars stopped.

Until a hand tractor.

This makes one wonder.

Why don't the better cars stop?

Why did such a dilapidated tractor stop?
It might be related to the highway robbers who appeared before, or it might not.

Ah, the human heart.

Old Zhao lied and said that his friend had a heart attack, and the tractor driver took them to the hospital in town.

Old Zhao gave him money, hoping he could help him register.

But then, he ran away without his friend's knowledge.

This counts as doing something bad.

Some people will laugh when they see this, while others will feel quite sad.

After that, when Lao Zhao was looking for a place to stay, he could only stay in the cheapest kind of roadside inn, and as a result, he actually ran into several long-distance truck drivers.

A strange fellow appeared, and everyone said he was going to Chongqing.

Old Zhao took a bottle of wine, intending to offer a bribe, but...

He downed the whole bottle of wine in one go...

"No way!"

What kind of person drinks alcohol and then doesn't do anything?

Unexpectedly, someone reached into Old Zhao's bag that night.

The money was gone the next morning.

How to do?
The driver who refused to pick him up did so when Lao Zhao was at his most helpless.

but……

"They're all little sluts!"

The driver seems to have suddenly gone mad.

It's obvious that he also has a story to tell.

It turned out that Old Zhao had been forced to explain that his friend Liu Quanyou was dead, but the driver still continued to take them.

So, Lao Zhao thought, since this driver is so good, let's put on a show for him, and he started singing a folk song.

The words in the two-person comedy act triggered a sensitive spot in the driver's mind.

And that's how it all happened.

Do you love him?

"Uh-huh!"

"Since you've already offered 300,000, then offer another 300,000 to find her!"

"Another 300,000?"

The driver met a girl on the road and fell in love at first sight. They agreed to get married after driving 300,000 kilometers.

But now that the driver has driven 300,000 kilometers, he can't find the girl anymore.

Fortunately, Lao Zhao is quite good at giving people advice.

This little story...

Jing Tian couldn't quite understand why the driver was acting this way.
Of course, the acting was very good; the driver was Hu Jun.

He's always presented himself as a tough guy, but here he's acting all cutesy and dramatic, which is quite amusing.

But, can you even laugh?
Actually, she laughed until she cried when Uncle Benshan sang Errenzhuan before.

But then the reversal happened rather quickly.

Fortunately, in the movie, the driver took Lao Zhao to a place where the three of them parted ways.

And that's the end of the driver's story.

You're so utterly despicable!

Their luck wasn't so good after that; they couldn't flag down any cars until they finally found one that had broken down.

The driver said that as long as they helped push the car, he would take them away once the car was fixed.

As a result, once the car could be started, it started moving on its own.

Old Zhao couldn't help but curse.

But at this point... the scene was really beautiful.

Old Zhao stood in the middle of the road, with three mountains in the distance and rice paddies nearby.

The composition is very skillful, and the color grading is also excellent.

But such a beautiful scene has to be accompanied by a swear word.

Jing Tian covered her mouth, unsure whether she should laugh or not.

Fortunately, Lao Zhao, carrying Liu Quanyou on his back, came across a village where a funeral was being held. They went inside for a meal, and of course, they had to shed a few tears.

Old Zhao cried well, and ate even better.

But as he was eating, someone joined him. After taking a closer look at the person, Old Zhao was startled.

This funeral was held for this person.

It turns out that the old man was so lonely that his children and grandchildren wouldn't come back, so he put on this show; they were all actors.

But none of them acted as well as Lao Zhao.

Old Zhao laughed and honestly told his story.

The old man simply gave him a car.

It's the kind of cart that can be pulled.

Old Zhao and Liu Quanyou set off again.

This was really fun...

On the road, they encountered an oxcart, and Old Zhao noticed that the ox-drawn cart was faster than the one he was pulling.

I disagree!
More than one guy.

So they sped up, sped up, and sped up again, but the oxcart driver lost his temper and whipped the ox a few more times.

The cow ran even faster.

What should Lao Zhao do?
He slapped his own butt!

This move caused everyone in the room to burst into laughter.

That's hilarious.

But seeing that they were being overtaken, how awesome was that ox-drawn cart!

Finally, someone came to the rescue.

I'm cycling to Xiayu in the plateau region.

When Jing Tian saw this, she laughed and felt a pang of sadness at the same time.

That loud laughter is easy to explain; Teacher Benshan is amazing.

But what about the heartache?
……

“In the countryside, the cattle and horses are whipped by the drivers.”

But if a person whips themselves...aren't they just like an ox or a horse?

Ma Xun didn't show up at the film festival because he met someone.

Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi should definitely be at events like the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

However, there was something very complicated about their meeting this time.

Zhang Ziyi first asked: Is it really okay to just say this is the best road movie?

Ma Xun's interpretation is quite intriguing: Are you worried that I'll lose?

They sounded completely unrelated, but Zhang Ziyi didn't dare to meet Ma Xun's gaze.

It seems Ma Xun was right.

This woman is worried.

That's easy, let's just let her see how good the movie is.

They definitely had more to talk about, so Ma Xun suggested that they come to his villa to watch the movie.

Originally, if I had brought this up... it would likely have been rejected by Zhang Ziyi.

To my surprise, she agreed immediately.

Ma Xun couldn't help but think of what happened that night, guessing that this international movie star might have been unable to resist.

Let's take a look.

In fact, after seeing this, Zhang Ziyi was already certain that "Getting Home" is absolutely the best Chinese road movie to date.

Road movies are defined as films shot along the way, depicting the various stories that unfold on the road.

However, this concept is from Hollywood. Generally, Hollywood road movies have a dark style and the endings are not very sunny.

Most of them end up with a rather helpless outcome.

For example, there's a movie called "U-Turn," which is full of killings and such... Many people say that Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" is a copy of this movie.

But this one in front of me...

"Okay, I'm sure you won't lose too much."

Zhang Ziyi remained stubborn.

Ma Xun laughed, "Actually, that night..."

It was immediately interrupted.

"Let's not talk about what happened that night."

"Sure, but I have some doubts about why you came to see me this time."

"What do you suspect?"

Are you pregnant?

"You think beautiful!"

Zhang Ziyi's counterattack was extremely sharp.

Ma Xun, however, kept smiling, with a roguish air, "You've got it backwards. With my wealth, if you had my child, well, who knows..."

"Stop talking!" Zhang Ziyi was about to explode.

She turned and left.

Ma Xun did not stay.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ziyi turned back and kissed Ma Xun.

Since you want war, then let's fight.

Just wait until their lips parted...

"the last time?"

"Yes, the last time!"

Zhang Ziyi spoke through gritted teeth.

Ma Xun, however, pressed her head down directly.

……

Finally, "Return to One's Roots" has reached its most interesting moment.

Uncle Benshan and Sister Dandan performed a skit.

Actually, they encountered this because they were tricked by blood traffickers.

Old Zhao planned to donate blood to earn some money, but he was diagnosed with hepatitis B. However, the blood traffickers didn't care about that.

As for Sister Dandan, she did it to give money to her son.

Regardless, they both accepted the reform and began performing.

This double act is very interesting.

Everyone was laughing uncontrollably.

But at the end of the performance, Sister Dandan cried.

Old Zhao sang a song.

I want a home...

Who can resist singing like that?

Jing Tian noticed that many people were secretly wiping away tears.

By the way, what about Liu Quanyou?

Fortunately, after confessing his feelings to Sister Dandan, Lao Zhao regained his freedom and found Liu Quanyou's body.

The two set off again, but this time, they still didn't actually get home.

Old Zhao collapsed on the road, but the road had actually been washed away. Fortunately, there were quite a few people there.

When he woke up, Liu Quanyou had already been cremated.

Because according to the law, you cannot bring a body back like this.

Even with the police in such a state, Old Zhao was helpless.

Fortunately, the police officers were quite responsible and actually brought Lao Zhao and the ashes to Liu Quanyou's home.

Unfortunately, there's nothing left here except for a door frame.

Old Zhao and the police deliberately walked in through the door frame.

There were words written on the door panel.

It turns out that Liu Quanyou's children moved away because of the Three Gorges Project.

The address was written fairly clearly.

The person returned, but the home was gone.

It's inexplicably heartbreaking.

Wait a minute, where's Jing Tian?

Jing Tian wasn't in a hurry at the moment. Although her face was covered in tears, she wasn't crying.

Instead, he looked like he was smiling.

As Lao Zhao and the police looked at the river, the big screen went dark.

But when the big screen lit up again...

Sunshine, home.

Of course, the most important thing is people.

A handsome young man arrived with a young woman.

"mom!"

"Oh dear! You child, this one..."

"Of course it's my girlfriend."

"Wow! This girl is too amazing!"

The mother is Sister Dandan, and the son's girlfriend is Jingtian.

So, there must be a male head of the household in this house.

"You're back... Um, I'll go make you some food right now..."

Old Zhao appeared.

Yes, he has a family now.

The performance of "Returning to One's Roots" came to a close amidst the smiles of the four of them.

In an instant, applause erupted!
