Chapter 11 How do you walk!
Without any constraints, Lu Youyou went to the commune that day.
When Xue Mingliang heard that her marriage partner was Gu Qingye, he became extremely enthusiastic.
There was also a middle-aged staff member from the Propaganda Department who asked someone to help her complete the formalities. He was concerned about how she could suddenly get married, reminded her to be careful on the road, and even bought her train ticket.
It was not until this moment that Lu Youyou realized that she had someone above her, and she felt a little amused and helpless.
How many secrets are hidden by the miserable characters in the original book? Her arrival is like opening a blind box.
Lu Youyou acted quickly. After completing the formalities, she packed her bags and rushed to the station the next day.
There was a woman with a sallow complexion and plain clothes on the platform, but she did not attract anyone's attention.
Based on her rich experience in novel reading, Lu Youyou bought a set of clothes that could not be more low-key, and smeared clam oil mixed with pot ash on her face.
I stuffed all the messy stuff into the villa and only took some necessities for the trip with me.
Lu Youyou looked at everything in the station curiously, and suddenly a kind-looking lady came over.
"Big sister, are you alone?"
Lu Youyou really wanted to pretend to be mute, but felt that she couldn't last for twenty hours, so she could only pretend to be shy and hum.
I don’t know if this lady is talkative or what, but once she starts talking she just can’t stop.
"Big sister, I'm telling you, when the bus stops, you have to squeeze in. Don't queue up properly, otherwise your seat will be taken by someone else!"
The old lady grabbed Lu Youyou and dragged her away from the team that didn't look like a team, and fought her way to the front through all the obstacles.
Lu Youyou quickly covered most of her face with a headscarf, fearing that the ash from the pot would be rubbed off.
Before she could say anything, the train slowly pulled into the station singing the tune of "Seven dollars, eight dollars, seven dollars, eight dollars--".
This was the first time that Lu Youyou saw a 1970s diesel locomotive with his own eyes. The front of the locomotive looked like a huge firecracker.
She wanted to look at the antiques a little longer, but the surging crowd didn't give her the chance, especially the enthusiastic lady who followed her and pushed the things up desperately.
Lu Youyou had never even taken the 8 a.m. subway, let alone a train with so many bags and small items. Not only were there people squeezing in, but chickens, ducks, and geese were also squeezed in.
When Lu Youyou finally got on the car, her headscarf was askew and there was a white feather stuck on her shoulder.
The old lady looked at her with a look of disappointment: "Big sister, you can't do this. Haven't you heard the slogan? Work hard and strive to be the best. You have to fight when it's time to fight!"
Lu Youyou couldn't help laughing: "Auntie, thank you so much!"
If the old lady had not been quick-eyed and strong enough to lift the tripod, she would have been swept away by the cage of chickens and ducks.
"What's the big deal? It's only natural for us to help each other when we're out and about!"
The car was as packed as a can of sardines. Lu Youyou found a seat with great difficulty. Unexpectedly, the old lady was sitting opposite her.
"Oh, what a coincidence, this is great!" The old lady was still enthusiastic, "Where are you going, big sister?"
"I'm going to South City."
"The final stop, that's going to be tough. Are you going to visit relatives?"
Seeing that Lu Youyou didn't say anything, the old lady smiled and said, "Don't mind it. I work in the neighborhood office. I'm used to gossiping about other people's affairs every day."
Lu Youyou smiled awkwardly but politely. She didn't think she was socially phobic, but this lady was simply the most socially awkward of all.
Besides, she couldn't speak.
Anyone who has ridden on a green train in the hot summer knows the smell of sweat, feet and a hint of chicken shit. Every breath is an ultimate enjoyment.
Lu Youyou took out a simple mask and covered it with a layer of washable cloth, pretending to be poor to the end.
Facing the old lady's surprise, Lu Youyou explained in a low voice: "I had a cold before and it didn't heal. The doctor told me to be more careful."
"No wonder you don't like to talk. Your throat hurts, right? Do you want me to get you some hot water?"
Lu Youyou quickly shook her head. She was unable to resist the old lady's enthusiasm, so she chose to pretend to be asleep. There were only a few pieces of clothes in the package anyway, so she didn't have to worry about thieves.
"Hmm--seven or eight or seven or eight--"
The train started again, slowly and swayingly. Lu Youyou, who was pretending to be asleep, really fell asleep after a while.
In her dream, she pulled out the tendons and skinned a handsome and beautiful little turtle. The little turtle bit back and laughed wildly. As he laughed, his green eyes turned into a pair of pitch-black pupils, and then turned into Gu Qingye's face. He glanced at her with contempt and said - you're looking for death!
Lu Youyou was so furious. I came here with good intentions to save you, but you dared to bite me and scold me!
In her dream, she tried to fight with Gu Qingye, but she couldn't hit him at all. She suddenly woke up when she was as tired as a dead dog.
Lu Youyou wiped the sweat from his forehead, and froze immediately when he saw that his fingers were covered with black ash.
She glanced around and felt relieved when she saw no one was paying attention. She took out some clam oil and covered her face with a headscarf to secretly "touch up her makeup".
There was loud conversation in the carriage accompanied by the cackling of chickens, ducks and geese. It wasn't so unpleasant once you got used to it. The lady sitting opposite me was not sitting in her seat either, and it seemed like she had found someone to talk to in the next seat.
Lu Youyou took out an enamel cup to get some hot water, and the old lady enthusiastically gave her directions.
After walking unsteadily through several carriages, I saw seven or eight people queuing at the door of the tea room.
Lu Youyou was standing against the wall. The man in front of her was wearing a neat Zhongshan suit and even brought a leather suitcase to fetch water.
Soon, another woman came up behind her. She was in her thirties and had a very ordinary look except for her pair of bright eyes.
Lu Youyou was daydreaming about what would happen after joining the army. When she came back, she realized that she and the Zhongshan suit were in the same direction.
In less than half a minute, the woman caught up and quickly surpassed Lu Youyou.
Lu Youyou took a quick look and saw that the woman was walking very fast with the water in her hand, and she didn't even sway at all on the wobbling car.
He must have practiced some light martial arts, his lower body is so stable.
Before she could finish her sigh, she was slapped in the face.
At the connection between the carriages, the woman suddenly tripped and bumped into the man in the Zhongshan suit.
The Zhongshan suit burned my hand unexpectedly, and the bag flew out when I raised my arm.
Lu Youyou watched the shiny black bag flying towards her. She raised the cup as far as she could as quickly as possible and subconsciously put her other hand in front of her.
With a thud, the bag fell to the ground, and cries of pain and tears flew.
To be more precise, it was Lu Youyou's hand that was "attacked".
The bag must have weighed dozens of kilograms. Not only did she fail to catch it, but her finger bones were also hurt by the impact.
There was so much hot water on the ground that it was hard to tell who had spilled it, but the man in the Zhongshan suit didn't even bother about his wet pants and shoes. He rushed over and hugged the suitcase in his arms.
"How do you walk!"
Zhongshan suit was so anxious that he wiped the water off with his sleeves and subconsciously wanted to open the bag to check, but he withdrew his hand as soon as he touched the zipper.
The man in Zhongshan suit glared at the woman, wanting to cut her into pieces. As for Lu Youyou who was innocently implicated, he didn't notice her at all.
The woman looked anxious and took out a handkerchief to help wipe it, but the man in the Zhongshan suit quickly turned around and avoided her, not giving her any chance to touch him.
