"Damn human traffickers!" Xu Feng spat out a curse word and said fiercely, "Don't worry, I will immediately arrange for someone to change clothes and keep an eye on her. I will make sure she can't escape and will go to jail."
Lu Zhanlin nodded, retracted his gaze, turned around and walked back to his carriage.
Xu Feng was stunned. "Hey, why did you leave? You haven't told me how your arm got better? Where did the doctor come from? And what's your relationship with that little girl? Why did you get so close to her?"
Watching Lu Zhanlin walk away without looking back, Xu Feng's voice gradually became softer and turned into a sour muttering.
"Tsk tsk, same person but different fate... We are both stinky old men serving in the army, why no girl is interested in me? I don't know when I can have a wife and children and a warm bed..."
…
At night, the lights in the carriage were turned off, leaving only a dim light. The rumbling sound of the train became the best lullaby, and everyone in the carriage was drowsy.
After eating a few steamed buns, Lu Yuanbao's little head drooped and he began to doze off.
Even though he was half asleep, he still held a half-eaten steamed bun in his hand and put a bite into his mouth from time to time.
He was so hungry that he held on to the steamed bun even when he was sleeping.
Chu Yue gently patted Lu Yuanbao's face and said softly, "Don't eat anymore. Go to sleep if you're tired. I'll put the steamed buns away and eat them tomorrow."
Lu Yuanbao was very sleepy. He barely managed to force open a gap and vaguely recognized Chu Yue's face. He tightly grasped her hands and separated them, then gave the remaining half of the bun to Chu Yue.
Chu Yue put away the steamed buns and put her backpack on the ground in front of her.
"Yuanbao, sit on the bag and sleep on my legs. It will be more comfortable this way."
Lu Yuanbao sat on the backpack with his head resting on Chu Yue's knees. Chu Yue took out a thicker coat and covered Lu Yuanbao with it.
The conditions on the train were poor and there were many people. Some people slept sideways under the seats, while others slept standing up while holding onto the storage racks. Chu Yue was lucky to have a seat.
In the narrow space, try to make Lu Yuanbao sleep as peacefully and comfortably as possible.
In the invisible dark shadow, Lu Yuanbao's small hands tightly grasped Chu Yue's trouser legs, even more tightly than when he grasped the steamed buns, and he did not let go even when he fell asleep.
After sitting on the train for a long time, even Chu Yue felt sore in her back and waist.
She was free anyway, so she might as well get comfortable in her portable space.
[Portable Space 007 hears the master's call, the system is starting up...]
Chu Yue closed her eyes, and as a colorful white light flashed in her mind, when she opened her eyes again, she was already in the portable space.
There is a whole wilderness where it is spring all year round, there are fertile fields that stretch as far as the eye can see, there are gurgling streams of spiritual spring water, and there are red apples that can be picked with just a stretch of the hand.
The Chuyue operating system first harvests the products from the fertile fields, such as rice, wheat, corn and sorghum. After harvest, they are neatly bagged and placed in the system warehouse. Finally, they are re-sown and seedlings are raised, and a new cycle begins.
Chu Yue does not have to do the farm work in the portable space herself, it is just like playing a farming management game.
This game is a real 3D version, which makes it more immersive and the rewards are real.
Chu Yue completed all the operations and felt happy and pleased as she watched the warehouse being filled up again.
Finally, she took off her clothes, jumped into the warm water pool of Lingquan Creek, and took a comfortable bath.
The stream water was magical. Not only did it dispel the fatigue all over the body, but the frostbite and scars on the original owner's body gradually disappeared, returning her skin to the fair skin of a young girl.
It's so comfortable to soak in the hot spring and look at the beautiful scenery in the distance...
She completely forgot that her real body was still on the crowded train, sitting in the small seat, swaying and tilting to one side as the train rolled.
Lu Zhanlin's right shoulder sank.
He opened his dark eyes and took a look, and in the dim light he saw a peaceful, fair sleeping face.
The two of them were so close that one could clearly see the feathery eyelashes on Yue's face. Each one was distinct, curled and drooping, so lively and well-behaved.
Lu Zhanlin stared silently and lowered his shoulders.
There is a height difference between him and Chu Yue. If he moves down a little, Chu Yue's petite body can be leaned on more comfortably.
After a while.
Chu Yue seemed to feel the man's thoughtfulness. Not only her head but also her body leaned sideways, and her cheek rubbed against Lu Zhanlin's coat gently.
In a daze, she found the most comfortable position and stayed there motionless.
During this period, Lu Zhanlin's body froze several times and he dared not move, for fear of waking Chu Yue up.
Fortunately, Chu Yue was sleeping soundly and never woke up.
The little girl who was cold and arrogant during the day turned out to be so soft when she fell asleep.
Ripples appeared in Lu Zhanlin's heart.
As Chu Yue tilted her body, Lu Yuanbao, who was originally sleeping on her knees, also tilted to one side, and his small body almost fell to the ground.
Lu Zhanlin kept his upper body still, moved cautiously, and reached out to grab Lu Yuanbao.
He picked up a child of five or six years old with ease.
Chu Yue's trouser legs were pulled out of Lu Yuanbao's little hands. Lu Yuanbao frowned uneasily. Lu Zhanlin patted the child's back lightly and held him in his arms to comfort him.
Lu Zhanlin owes this child.
He and Lu Yuanbao's mother, who was also his biological sister, were twins, a boy and a girl, and lived together in the womb for nine months.
Lu Zhanlin is a boy with a healthier body. He robbed a lot of nutrition in the womb, so his sister has been weak and sickly since birth and thinner than ordinary people.
Later, Lu Zhanlin joined the army, and the allowance and money he sent home every month became the financial support for the whole family.
He thought that this would change the difficult environment at home and allow the whole family, including his sister, to live a good life.
But his parents didn't tell him and sold his sister... to a farmer in the same village.
Afterwards, he never mentioned a word about what his sister had gone through.
Lu Zhanlin had been a soldier for ten years and had not been home for ten years. Everything was kept secret from him. It was only a month ago that he learned that his sister had died tragically, leaving behind an unwanted, helpless child.
Lu Zhanlin was furious and regretful, but what had happened could not be undone.
He submitted a report and went through the adoption procedures, registered Lu Yuanbao under his name, and decided to take the child to the army to take care of him personally.
Although they have never met, this child will be his biological son in the future.
Perhaps because of the blood relationship, Lu Yuanbao moved restlessly for a few times in Lu Zhanlin's arms, but soon calmed down and continued to sleep.
Lu Zhanlin's arms and shoulders felt heavy.
He slowly closed his eyes.
…
The next morning, the sky was gray.
The conductor walked through the carriages, shouting at the top of his lungs to wake up the sleeping passengers.
"We've arrived! We've arrived! The train will stop in ten minutes! Everyone wake up! We've arrived!"
Chu Yue woke up to the screams, feeling sleepy and dazed. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was on duty in the hospital or in the 1970s. As she was in a daze, a black men's windbreaker came into her eyes.
He woke up instantly and sat up straight.
She looked at the windbreaker covering her body, then at the shoulder of the man beside her, and subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth.
Fortunately, my face was dry and there were no unknown marks.
"Don't worry, you were very quiet when you slept and didn't drool."
What you fear will come true!
Listening to the man's pleasant and smiling voice, Chu Yue frowned in annoyance.
She had to raise her face, endure the embarrassment, and pretend to be calm, "I'm sorry, I pressed your shoulder."
The previous apology is not over yet.
Chu Yue then saw Lu Yuanbao sleeping soundly in Lu Zhanlin's arms.
Her forced calm expression began to crack, her eyes trembled nervously, her cheeks bore marks from just waking up, and there was a hint of bashful blush.
