Synopsis: Three years ago, Xia Li resolutely left. She only wanted to escape that marriage life that she could see the end of at a glance, to escape everything that trapped her. Perhaps she was a s...
Chapter 15 Chapter 15 He really doubted whether it was true...
In fact, some trains these days are equipped with televisions. In those TV cars, people watch the programs broadcasting inside with great interest, which is enough to kill the boredom of the journey.
However, the sleeper car that Charlie and her friends were in did not have a TV installed. Perhaps the only car on the entire train that had one was the dining car.
The train radio is now playing some soft music. I don’t know what it is called, but it makes me feel light and happy.
However, the music only served as background music. Some people found it boring and disliked it. To pass the time, they did all sorts of things: some pulled out a deck of cards, some chatted with the people next to them in a familiar and boastful manner, and some started eating on the train.
There are people doing all kinds of things, the voices are constant, and it is very lively.
But this won't disturb the children who are about to take a nap.
The child Jiang Zai may have gotten up too early in the morning, followed the adults all the way to the station, and only rested after getting on the bus. It is quite difficult for him to doze off at this time.
Xia Li had initially thought the child was just lying on the table, looking out the window, having fun. She'd seen him curious about train rides before, considering it was his first time. Jiang Zai first looked around the train, staring at people when there were more people around, but mostly he looked out the window at the world outside. This was quite novel for a child who had never been outside the county.
The little guy held his schoolbag and leaned against the window, watching.
She didn't notice it at first, but after a while she found that there was no movement, and then she realized that the little man had fallen asleep without her knowing.
Charlie leaned back from the window.
She stroked her forehead, feeling a little annoyed and a little like laughing. She could only call out softly, then wake Jiangzai up and coax him to stop lying on his stomach. She let Jiangzai sleep on their berth, and after the child lay down, she shook out the small quilt that came with the train berth and gently draped it over the child.
The child fell asleep and Charlie had nothing to do, so she could only continue to read the novel she had not finished out of boredom.
The child was asleep inside, and Charlie was sitting at his feet.
Not long after the previous couple left, two more people came over, also a man and a woman, but they seemed to be strangers to each other. Xia Li guessed that the two people must have been exchanged with someone else.
Of course, it is not known whether the couple will use the same old method this time, or learn from their mistakes and gain benefits.
But it's none of her business.
In fact, most people are ordinary people. When they travel by train at this time, they have something to do, either on business trips, visiting relatives, or working.
Xia Li felt that the two unreasonable people before were really a minority, and it was an accident to meet them.
The two people who came over later seemed to get along well, and there were no more troubles. After they simply put their luggage away, they sat on the spring chairs in the aisle.
The two seemed to have had the same experience, and somehow they started chatting and laughing. They sat facing each other, legs crossed, and looked very happy.
Perhaps after Xucheng, a major station, it would take a long time to reach the next station. Train attendants began to appear in the sleeper cars, exchanging tickets for passengers who had boarded earlier.
This is a very unique and practical practice that has been practiced on trains for many years. The conductor takes the sleeper passenger's ticket and hands over a small metal piece. When the passenger gets off the train, the conductor will exchange the two items one by one.
It can be said that every system exists for a reason. The ticket exchange system on trains prevents passengers with tickets for the seat compartment from sneaking into the sleeper compartment to occupy a berth, and also prevents careless passengers from missing their stop.
Experienced train attendants are accustomed to these two situations.
When the conductor who had checked her ticket at the door came over to her, she handed over the ticket she had prepared long ago. The conductor took it, took a look at it, and asked, "Are you getting off at Guangcheng?"
Although it was clearly written on the ticket, Charlie still answered very friendly.
"Yes."
Seeing the children resting on the bunk behind Xia Li, he casually told them, the parents, to keep a close eye on their children in the car to make sure they were not stolen or acted naughty.
The train attendant did his job conscientiously, so Xia Li was naturally very grateful.
As for the strong man opposite, unexpectedly but also reasonably, he also got off at the terminal station, Guangcheng.
After hearing this, Charlie raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already noon. Charlie was lost in the emotions of the book's heroine, forced to separate from her beloved. The lovers, forced to face life and death for the sake of family and country, were so moving that she couldn't help but admire this heartfelt emotion, even choking up a little, and completely lost in thought.
Xu Zhining had already rested well. He was now hungry. It was time for dinner, so he was sitting in his seat waiting for the food cart on the train to come.
When I was bored, I looked out the window and saw the little boy lying in the quilt opposite me. I don’t know when he woke up. He was blinking with his eyes open and not saying a word.
He was an adult and was sitting high up, so he could see that after the little boy regained consciousness, he kept looking at the young woman sitting at his feet, the boy's mother.
Xu Zhining was a tall, well-built man, and because he usually sat upright, he had a wide field of vision, allowing him to see the boy's movements clearly. The boy, however, was obscured by the small table between the two beds due to the angle of view, completely unaware that he was staring at his mother, and from time to time he would purse his lips, his expression of stubbornness being caught by everyone.
Xu Zhining thought to himself that this mother and son were quite interesting.
Judging from the young mother's behavior after getting on the bus, it seems that she is not familiar with her child and does not know how to take care of him. On the other hand, the boy is not very close to his mother, and there seems to be some distance between the two.
If Xu Zhining had not felt a little confident in his ability to judge people, and if the mother of the child opposite had not helped him, he would have really doubted whether it was such a coincidence that he met a human trafficker.
His mind was completely focused on the mother and son, but he suddenly noticed the mother, who was engrossed in a novel, suddenly become melancholic. He had already seen the title: "Wulin's Eternal Love." He knew without a doubt that it was a love story disguised as a martial arts novel. What was so interesting about it? Instead, she started to cry.
Xu Zhining looked at the woman opposite him sobbing softly, and was speechless, but mostly amused.
In fact, it can be said that it is a scene of a beautiful woman shedding tears. The woman opposite is indeed good-looking and has a genuine temperament.
Jiangzai didn’t know that when adults shed tears, it could have many meanings. He only knew that he would cry when he was sad.
Therefore, thinking that she was also sad, she sat up from the bunk hesitantly, at a loss as to what to do.
The little boy doesn't know how to care for others yet.
Charlie was completely unaware that she had attracted the attention of two people. Her overly excited emotions made her sniffle and let out a long sigh.
No one came to disturb her, nor did anyone dare.
It was the sound of the cart rolling and the unique hawking voice that brought Charlie back to reality.
