Chapter 37 This Damn Curiosity

Could this bag contain some valuable parts? Was this guy a deliveryman? That made sense, given the current scarcity of resources, and those parts were quite important.

As the night deepened, even the two chickens facing the back of his head had gone to rest, and the owner of the sack finally calmed down. Although he still checked from time to time whether the things were still there, the frequency and intervals were getting longer and longer.

The last time was half an hour ago. Chen Ye curled his lips. How boring was she to count the time for others? But everyone has curiosity.

Although Chen Ye is not very curious, once he becomes curious, he wants to find out the truth. This should be human instinct.

After counting ten minutes again and seeing that the man didn't move, Chen Ye stretched out a finger and curiously touched the sack that made a clinking sound. Her movements were very light and the sack didn't make any sound.

But the shape was a bit strange, and she always had the urge to open it and see what was inside, otherwise she would definitely regret it. She slapped her forehead, why did she have such a weird idea?

Taking things without asking is stealing. Looking through other people's things without their consent is not something a decent person should do. She considers herself a decent and good person.

She turned over, her back to the sack, to avoid facing the source of temptation.

She didn't see that the moment she turned over, the person who had been reaching out to confirm was looking down at the seat.

At that moment, Chen Ye felt all the hairs on her body stand up, and the extreme danger made her tense all over.

She had only experienced this feeling once in her life, when she met a mountain tiger in the deep mountains. This was the feeling she had when she was face to face with the tiger, as if she would die in the next moment.

She didn't dare to move and just stayed there motionless. When she got into the carriage and there was a faint light, the feeling of danger seemed to disappear.

Is it dawn?

As the lights in the carriage gradually brightened, the sound of the train running and occasional snoring changed to the chirping of voices, and even the two hens opposite began to cluck.

Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that everyone was awake. With more people around, unexpected things wouldn't happen. Even if there was danger, he could avoid it with the help of more people.

However, once a person's curiosity is aroused, it is not so easy to eliminate it, especially for someone like Chen Ye who is not very curious. Once his curiosity is aroused, he will feel anxious and uncomfortable unless he understands the whole story.

Just think about it, if a person who is not very curious becomes curious, then this matter will make people very concerned!

She carefully moved her numb body, pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the sound, trying to distinguish the frequency of the iron collision behind her from the noisy sound.

It was almost noon when there was no more sound coming from the sack. She carefully lay down, not daring to face the sack directly, and continued to listen for any sound with her ears perked up.

Thanks to the fact that she had been training with her grandfather since she was a child and often went into the mountains to hunt, her five senses were sharper than those of ordinary people, and she could distinguish some information she wanted to know from the noisy sounds.

The person who kept confirming that the things in the sack were still there fell asleep. Although the snoring was not very loud, she could still hear it because the distance was not far away. It was the snoring coming from that location.

She turned over more carefully, fumbled around from the corner of her clothes and took out a very thin needle, calculating the time she would have to stop the car. She counted the seconds silently in her heart. It was really troublesome to calculate the time without a watch.

The time was almost up, so she carefully moved her position, placed the needle in her hand on the outside of the sack, and quickly withdrew her hand.

You can't be careless. This person gives people a very scary feeling, as if he is a jackal staring at you all the time, and when you are not paying attention, he will come up and bite your neck and kill you with one blow.

I heard the sound of the train, and it was about to brake. Sure enough, the next moment the train stopped, and the passengers couldn't help but shake violently back and forth in rhythm with the braking.

This happens every time before parking the car. No one cares. Those with bad tempers just curse softly and then move on.

She kept watching the place where the needle was placed with her eyes slanted. When she saw that it was as she thought, the sleeping man's feet involuntarily moved inside and kicked the sack.

The needle she sharpened into a thin layer successfully pierced the man's ankle. Chen Ye quickly retracted the needle, turned sideways with his back to the sack, and tried to relax his body as if he was asleep.

Sure enough, as soon as she lay down, that creepy feeling came over her again.

The man who felt like he was stabbed lowered his head and looked under the seat, and saw the boy he had seen yesterday, lying in the same position as yesterday.

He thought he was fast enough. If this guy was playing tricks, it would be impossible for him to turn around so quickly.

He listened attentively to the sound under the seat. Although it was a bit noisy, the man was quite confident in his hearing and thought that the other party was just sleeping. This kid can really sleep.

In fact, this situation is not surprising at all in this era. Everyone is not getting enough food, and the best way is to lie down and not move, so that you can consume less and last longer.

He glanced at the spot where he felt the sting, but there was no scar at all. Was it really just his imagination? He took a closer look, but there was no scar at all.

After taking a look at the sack and touching it, he found nothing strange on it. It might just be his illusion, or he might be too nervous.

If Chen Ye could see the man's movements, she would have marveled at his sensitivity. The needle was sharpened by her to be extremely thin, so even if it pricked someone, most people would not feel much.

It's just like a mosquito bite. People nowadays have thick skin and can't feel it at all.

The needle is supposedly thin enough, but even if you get pricked, you can still see the wound. At least if you look closely, you can still see a small red dot.

The funny thing is that men are not clean people and may not take a bath often. Their heels are dirty. Even if the needle hole is bigger, it is impossible to see anything through the dirt.

If it weren't for the fact that this man was so sloppy, Chen Ye wouldn't have dared to use his own life-saving means directly.
