Su Nian and his group boarded the train at around 11 o'clock in the evening. As soon as the train started, it was announced that it had entered sleep mode. All the headlights were turned off, leaving only a few dim lights to illuminate those who used the bathroom at night.

Su Nian and Chu Beichen each had an upper bunk, they looked at each other and laughed for a long time before they fell asleep.

After a night of travel, Su Nian woke up again to the monotonous sounds of shopping and eating. Although the curtains were drawn, the biting cold still penetrated through the car window.

Su Nian turned over and woke up, and found that Chu Beichen in the bed opposite was gone. This diligent man must have gotten up and gone to wash up.

Su Nian also sat up and prepared to get out of bed. At this moment, the train suddenly braked. Due to inertia, Su Nian fell to the side and was about to fall off the bed.

At this moment, the door of the box was opened, and Chu Beichen appeared at the door. He was quick to grab Su Nian and said, "Little idiot, you're so old, and you still fell off the bed?"

Su Nian smiled and sat up straight with Chu Beichen's help. "I wasn't prepared. Why did the train stop so suddenly? Have we reached our stop yet?"

The two of them looked out the window together, and saw only silence all around. The sky and the earth were covered in white, with no trace of any buildings.

"It must be a temporary stop," Chu Beichen concluded. He reached out and rubbed Su Nian's head, ruffling her hair. "Hurry up! You can go to the dining car and have some hot porridge."

The train ride from the capital to Zhangye City takes two days and two nights. Su Nian and others also brought a lot of food, but it is more comfortable to drink some porridge when you just wake up in the morning.

After Su Nian and Chu Beichen finished packing, they went to call Tang Xin from next door. As for the three men in the other box, they were probably still sleeping in.

When the three of them went to the dining car to drink porridge, they unexpectedly heard the crew talking about it. It turned out that there was a problem with the front of the train, and it completely broke down and could not move.

This is a terrible thing, but at that time, each carriage of the train had a boiler that burned coal for heating. Even if the train could not move, there was no need to worry about being frozen in this snowy and icy situation.

Sure enough, before the three of them finished their porridge, the train began to announce a temporary stop, saying that a new locomotive would arrive from the platform, and the train could only continue to move forward at that time.

"The train to the northwest is on a single track. If our train breaks down, I don't know how many trains behind it will be stuck," Chu Beichen shook his head and sighed.

This is the problem when traveling on a green-skinned train. The front end of the train is more likely to break down, and it is common for the train to stop and be late for half a day.

The three of them were losing interest, so they quickly drank their porridge and returned to the box. They took out the poker cards that were essential for the journey and prepared to play a few rounds to kill time.

At this time, the conductor came with a ticket folder in his hand and asked everyone politely, "The train has made a temporary stop. The soft sleeper car has plenty of fuel, but the hard seat car has run out of fuel."

"We have some elderly, weak, and sick passengers, and we want to move them to different sleeper cars. Would you be willing to do that?"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, then gathered together to discuss, and finally decided to contribute a compartment for the conductor to arrange for its use.

Anyway, Tang Xin lives alone, it's daytime now, and she's playing with Su Nianchu and Beichen, so she doesn't need a private room.

The conductor didn't expect them to directly offer a compartment, which was also a pleasant surprise, because the passengers in the soft sleeper compartment were relatively difficult to talk to, and there were not many people with such a good attitude as Su Nian and his friends.
