Chapter 9 Prone to Misconduct Issues

Zhou Xiye shook his head. He felt it was very presumptuous to suddenly ask a lesbian's name.

Wang Changkun thought about it and realized that their leader only cared about training, combat, gun research, and tank range. Emotionally, he was as inflexible as an elm block.

Fortunately, the captain has a wife and is a bit of a blockhead. Otherwise, he would have suspected that the captain, who is so concerned about that girl, would have misconduct in the future.

Jiang Zhizhi lay on the sleeper berth and slept comfortably. After getting up, she combed her hair with one hand. It was difficult to even tie a ponytail, let alone braid it. So she simply took the other braid out, grabbed it in front, and used her right hand to tie two small braids.

Washing with one hand is not a problem, and it is a private space, so life is still wonderful.

At noon, the train conductor happily brought a box lunch, which included rice and stir-fried cabbage with a little fat.

Jiang Zhizhi was a little surprised: "I didn't buy this meal."

The train conductor smiled and said, "Captain Zhou told me when he got off the train that you should eat something good since you were injured."

Jiang Zhizhi was stunned for a moment. Zhou Xiye?

Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi didn't say anything, the train conductor smiled and entered the carriage, placed the lunchbox on the small table, and sat down on the empty berth: "Is your injury alright?"

Jiang Zhizhi shook her head: "It's nothing, Captain Zhou and the others got off the bus?"

As she spoke, she sat down opposite the conductor, feeling that the conductor might have something else to say to her.

The conductor smiled and said, "Those who got off at the last stop probably had something urgent to do. Also, I'm curious, you're so skilled, have you learned martial arts? Oh, and what's your name?"

Seeing that the train conductor was very nice, Jiang Zhizhi became interested in chatting: "My name is Jiang Zhizhi. I grew up in a military compound, so I know a little about self-defense."

The train conductor had no doubts. Judging from Jiang Zhizhi's appearance, he could guess that she came from a good family: "Comrade Jiang, you've really helped us a lot this time. When we received the notification, it said there were two fugitives, but it didn't say a man and a woman. We thought they were two men. Besides, those two people were so polite and didn't look like brutal murderers at all."

Jiang Zhizhi was also curious: "It doesn't seem like it. Since they are fugitives, why didn't they keep a low profile? The stolen child was lost, so what? If they had just changed carriages, no one would have noticed. Even if you secretly investigated, it would have been difficult to trace it back to them."

The train conductor nodded: "That's true. However, we also asked them briefly. The reason they were making trouble was because they were targeting you, but we didn't expect them to be exposed."

Jiang Zhizhi pointed at her nose in shock. "Me? I don't know them. Besides, I was sleeping after getting on the bus and didn't bother them."

The train conductor said with a serious expression, "Because you are young and beautiful, their targets are all young and beautiful girls. They kill them in extremely vicious ways and then flee. If they meet their targets on the road, they will still kill them."

Jiang Zhizhi didn't know what to say. He really was a perverted murderer. Being beautiful was actually a sin.

After chatting for a while, the conductor urged Jiang Zhizhi to eat quickly: "Eat first, otherwise the food will get cold soon. If you have any other needs, just tell me. As long as it is available on the train, I will definitely find a way to satisfy you."

Jiang Zhizhi thanked him repeatedly. After the train conductor left, she looked at the white rice and cabbage in the lunchbox and unconsciously swallowed her saliva. She had finished the steamed buns yesterday afternoon and was thinking of letting herself get hungry first and then buying a steamed bun at the next stop.

After all, when she hasn't started making money yet, saving is making money. If she can't increase income, she can only reduce expenditure.

She picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of white rice, and the aroma of the rice instantly satisfied her taste buds. This was the best white rice she had ever eaten.

Jiang Zhizhi knew very well that once she arrived in northern Gansu, rice and wheat flour would likely be luxuries.

The cabbage tasted like it had been cooked with some fatty meat, but Jiang Zhizhi still found it very fragrant.

As evening approached, the train conductor brought over a bowl of clear soup noodles with a poached egg on top, making Jiang Zhizhi feel embarrassed: "This...this is too much."

The train conductor smiled and said, "Don't worry, eat it! If it weren't for the limited conditions on the train, I would have prepared a pig's trotter for you to nourish yourself. And it's not free food either. Captain Zhou gave you ten kilograms of food coupons and one kilogram of meat coupons."

Jiang Zhizhi was surprised that Zhou Xiye had left the tickets. She thought that she would definitely return them to him when she had the chance.

Ten jin of grain coupons and one jin of meat coupons were enough to feed a family for half a month.

On the last two days of the train journey, Jiang Zhizhi was very comfortable, ate well and slept well. Apart from her hair being a little messy, her little face was rosy and she didn't look sickly at all from sitting on the train for too long.

When she arrived in northern Gansu, the train conductor helped her carry her bag off the train and said with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, I mainly work on this line. If you are going back to Beijing, you can come and find me on the train first. Even if I'm not here, just mention my name and they will help you find a place. By the way, my name is Chen Daguo."

Jiang Zhizhi thanked him again and again. It wasn't until they reached the exit that the train conductor handed her the bag: "Alright, I'll take you this far. Little Jiang, see you later."

Jiang Zhizhi, carrying her handbag, watched the train conductor walk away before turning around. Just as she was about to take a step, someone approached her enthusiastically: "You must be the expert from the provincial capital, right?"

Jiang Zhizhi looked at the young man with a simple, honest smile, wearing a faded red work vest with holes and a straw hat, and shook her head: "You've mistaken me for someone else..."

Before she could finish, the young man enthusiastically snatched the bag from her hand. "Oh, I finally found you. It said you were on yesterday's train. I waited all day but didn't see you, so I came to the train station early this morning to wait. It's you, female, wearing yellow, with an injured hand. I can't mistake you for me!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the side and said, "Our tractor is over there, go and take a look."

Seeing that the young man looked honest and warm, and didn't seem to have any ill intentions, Jiang Zhizhi suppressed her urge to grab the bag back and followed the man with a puzzled expression.

The young man was very talkative: "Comrade, my name is Liang Dazhuang, and I'm a tractor driver in our commune. Our commune only has two tractors, and the one I drive is the newest one."

As Liang Dazhuang spoke, he gestured, "I don't know what happened that day. I came to the city to deliver grain, and after leaving the grain station, the car stalled on the side of the road. I couldn't start it no matter what I did. All the mechanics here came, but they still couldn't do anything. So, I had to call an expert from the provincial capital to come and take a look."

Jiang Zhizhi was puzzled. "It's just a tractor, why do we need to call an expert?"

Not far from the train station, I saw a hand tractor parked on the side of the road, with the front of the tractor carefully covered with a sheet.

Liang Dazhuang pointed and said, "This is it. I don't know why it stopped halfway."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Zhizhi's injured arm and then belatedly became worried: "Comrade, can you fix a car like this?"
