Yao Tongjia, who had just sent her father to prison in modern times, was in a plane crash and transmigrated into a period novel. What? Their family of three are all cannon fodder, meant to make way...
Once out of He Jiayin's sight, He Jiale pouted and said, "We can go by ourselves. We're all grown up now, and I even have martial arts skills. Do you think we'll get sold out?"
Yao Tongxu, a simple-minded boy, chimed in, "Just like my sister, they all look down on us. Let's go to the cafeteria ourselves!"
Xiao Gengwu remained silent, like an invisible man, and did not participate in the conversation between the two. He simply walked past the hard sleeper carriage and knocked on the door.
Two people quickly followed, but they did not appear in front of He Jiale and Yao Tongxu.
The three people who were ostensibly together arrived at the restaurant. Xiao Gengwu didn't order any food, but instead found a seat and sat down. Yao Tongxu turned around and asked, "Brother Xiao, what would you like to eat?"
I'll eat whatever you eat!
This was easy. The two chattered away and finalized the menu, even ordering food for their two older sisters. They were two people who seemed oblivious to the realities of life.
They kept listing the dishes, not caring about the cost at all, completely unaware that food on the train was much more expensive than outside.
They quickly caught the attention of a seated woman, who gestured toward the corner and then glanced at the two ordering food. Soon, someone echoed the woman's sentiments.
Xiao Gengwu had been observing his surroundings, and this action quickly caught his eye. He didn't move, just wanted to see what these people were going to do, so he could teach the duo a lesson.
The dishes were served quickly. Xiao Gengwu twitched his lips. These two must have been starving ghosts reincarnated. They ordered a total of seven or eight dishes, six of which were meat dishes.
The table was almost completely filled with food. Xiao Gengwu glanced at the woman from earlier and saw that she was looking at their table with shining eyes.
He Jiale took out a lunchbox and handed one to Yao Tongxu and the other to Xiao Gengwu: "Let's serve the food to my sister and Tongjie first. Don't be fooled by how much food there is, my sister can finish a lot by herself."
Yao Tongxu took the lunchbox: "I ate with your sister before, and I didn't think she ate a lot!"
He Jiale sneered: "That's because she's shy. Let's give them more, and we can eat the rest!"
He Jiale picked up three lunchboxes, stacked them to one side, and then eagerly picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully.
"I heard someone say the braised pork at the train station is delicious, but I didn't believe it. It really is! You guys should try it!"
Yao Tongxu picked up a piece of meat and put it in Xiao Gengwu's bowl: "Brother Xiao, eat quickly, this kid will finish the meat in a moment!"
Xiao Gengwu could only accept being fed. He was actually a little absent-minded, constantly observing what the people next to him were going to do, but even after they finished eating, no one had made a move!
This made Xiao Gengwu even more wary. Did these people want money or people? These two were young men; if they wanted people, what did they want them for?
As Xiao Gengwu was thinking, a group of people suddenly gathered in front of him, making a lot of noise. He Jiale craned his neck to go and see what was going on. The train stopped. Had they arrived at the station?
Xiao Gengwu became even more vigilant and called out to the two people who were about to go watch the commotion: "Let's hurry back to the carriage, Tongtong and the others must be hungry!"
These words did not quell the two's desire to watch the excitement. He Jiale pointed to the lunchbox in Xiao Gengwu's hand: "Brother Xiao, you can take it. Let's go watch the show. It's so boring!"
Xiao Gengwu glanced at the two people following behind him. The two nodded almost imperceptibly. Xiao Gengwu ignored them and took the lunchbox back.
As soon as Xiao Gengwu left, the two people went over to watch the commotion. They saw an old woman slapping her thigh and exclaiming, "My money! This is money I borrowed to pay for my husband's medical treatment!"
"She must have stolen my money, boohoo... I traveled all the way there to borrow it!"
Everyone just watched, but no one went to help the old lady. It was time to get off the train, and even the conductor didn't have time to come over and mediate.
He Jiale and Yao Tongxu watched with their arms around each other as the woman, whom the old lady accused of stealing money, retreated aggrievedly to their side.
Then, she grabbed He Jiale's clothes and said, "I didn't steal their money. I just finished eating with you guys at the restaurant and came here, and this old lady started harassing me. You have to help me get justice."
He Jiale thought for a moment, then realized he had seen the woman nod: "I saw her eating at the restaurant!"
Upon hearing this, the old woman cried even louder: "You're forging evidence! My life is so miserable! Son, why don't you come out and stand up for me!"
Then four or five burly men suddenly appeared. He Jiale and Yao Tongxu both realized something was wrong. They had thought the old woman was alone, but if what she said was true, she was borrowing money to pay for her husband's medical treatment.
How could I possibly bring so many people on the train? Train tickets aren't cheap these days.
He Jiale tried to pull Yao Tongxu back, but the crowd was too dense, and someone grabbed his hand. He tried to lift his foot, but there were too many people and he couldn't move it freely.
He Jiale's mouth and nose were blocked by something, and then he lost consciousness. Yao Tongxu next to him was in the same situation, as were the two people following behind them.
Having anticipated all of this, they stood at the doorway and saw the two idiots being brought over, while the others only paid attention to what was behind them.
They might get their people snatched away in front of them. If they shout, two people, one on each side, and another person can take down two or three people in two moves.
The train started moving again, and the train attendant boarded, only to be startled by what he saw: "Who are you? Why are you hitting people?"
They showed their identification to the flight attendant, who immediately recognized them as agents of the National Security Bureau and rushed over to the head flight attendant: "Is there anything we can do for you?"
One of them pointed to the people on the ground: "Tie them up, we'll come back later!"
He Jiayin hadn't finished her meal when she saw the two idiots being brought back unconscious. She sneered, "This stupid younger brother definitely didn't call for someone to accompany him in a hard sleeper!"
Yao Tongjia wanted to get up to give them acupuncture, but He Jiayin stopped her, saying, "Let them sleep, you can talk to them after you finish eating!"
He Jiayin finished her meal slowly and deliberately. While Xiao Gengwu took the lunchbox out to wash it, Yao Tongjia and He Jiale, who had just woken up, jumped up and asked, "Who are you?"
Then, meeting He Jiayin's ambiguous smile, He Jiale deflated like a punctured balloon: "Sorry, sis, I thought there was no danger!"
"Little brother, there's so much for you to learn. You two are the same. The outside world is terrifying, so you can never let your guard down!"
He Jiale nodded: "Who will bring me back?"
Xiao Gengwu just returned: "The person I'm protecting!"
He Jiale asked in surprise, "Brother Xiao, when did you start having someone protecting you?"
