Chapter 182 On the Road



Everyone has to hold a cardboard ticket and pass it through the conductor's ticket clamp before they can get on the train.

After Hu Lin got on the bus, he found a lower berth and sat down.

Then he took out the military water bottle and started eating the cold meat pie.

She is really hungry now.

After a whole day of traveling, I was afraid of missing the deadline, so I even skipped my meal time.

The water in the kettle was placed in the backpack and wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, so it hasn't completely cooled down yet.

But the cold meat pie is also a bit chilly to the stomach.

While Hu Lin was eating, passengers started to arrive in the carriage one after another.

This carriage is all sleeper berths, so not many people come.

After Hu Lin finished eating, he sat down to rest and waited for the train to depart.

In a few minutes everyone was on board, and then there were whistles and voices from the platform announcing that the train was about to depart.

Then a long whistle came from the front of the car, and the car under me shook.

The train's iron wheels collided with the rails, making a sound, and the train started slowly.

When the people who had bought sleeper tickets saw the train start moving, they all packed up and prepared to go to sleep.

It was the first time for Hu Lin to take such a train. Seeing that the other passengers did not move much, he prepared to pack up and go to sleep.

There were three berths in total. She saw that most people slept on one berth, so she just ignored it and put the backpack under the fixed small table and slept there too.

If any emergency occurs, she can stop it in time.

However, she was an outlier in this carriage.

The rest of the people were wearing Zhongshan suits, Lenin suits, military casual clothes, old-fashioned slanted-collared jackets, long gowns, and a military overcoat as an outer layer.

She was alone, and at first glance she looked like a farmer.

Besides, they all carried small suitcases, but she only carried a small backpack.

Those curious and inquiring eyes made her look like a clown who didn't fit in.

Hu Lin took off his rain boots, revealing the woolen socks lined with rabbit fur, and then lay down, covered himself with a quilt and went to sleep.

External things can't hurt her.

Maybe no one in this carriage is as rich as she is.

The train had been moving for a while when a conductor came over to collect the cardboard tickets and exchange them for berth cards.

The conductor then rang the bell to remind the passengers to close the carriage doors.

Hu Lin fell asleep in the dim light of the carriage while feeling the swaying motion.

When I woke up again, there was a blue-gray snow scene outside the window.

It snowed last night.

It was grey outside, not yet completely light, and snowflakes were falling lightly from above.

With a long whistle, the train slowed down and got closer and closer to the platform in the distance.

Arrived in Spring City.

As the provincial capital, Chuncheng’s prosperity is visible.

The station was bustling with people, and there were even a few vendors selling sesame cakes and roasted sweet potatoes.

Hu Lin was not interested in these and went to queue up to buy tickets first.

Before getting off the car, she filled a kettle of hot water in the hot water tank.

After buying the tickets, I ate a sesame cake with hot water to fill my stomach.

She was not used to eating too much during long car rides.

What's more, for her, the riding environment was not so good, so she ate even less.

After buying the ticket, Hu Lin found a corner and took out a meat pie to fill his stomach.

The snow is still falling outside the platform, and it seems to be getting heavier.

Most of the people on the platform were squatting and gathering together to keep warm.

Some had indifferent expressions and were smoking, some were smiling and talking to others, and some were eating and drinking hot water with their children.

People from all walks of life gathered on this small platform, and the heat generated by them turned into white mist, converging in the air and finally dissipating.

The hustle and bustle of life is fully reflected in this small station.

These were all aspects of human life that she had never seen before.

Hu Lin drank the hot water slowly and looked at the snow scene outside the platform.

On the cold and black railway tracks fell even colder white snowflakes.

The blend of black and white is cool and extraordinary.

Hu Lin let his mind go and immersed himself in this world.

Around my ears is the noisy world of fireworks, and before my eyes is the silent world of nature.

She's somewhere in between.

There is only one train per day from Chuncheng to the capital.

I was lucky enough to buy the best berth.

This time the cardboard ticket had her bed number marked on it.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the train to Beijing arrived at the station.

Hu Lin got on the train and found his bed according to the instructions on his ticket.

Or the lower bunk.

It seems that she is really lucky this time.

Otherwise, it would be really cramped to sleep on the second or third floor with a bed that is not even an arm's width.

Not long after Hu Lin settled down, the train started and headed for the capital.

There were quite a lot of people going from Chuncheng to the capital, and the carriage was almost full.

The sound of people talking in groups lingered in his ears, and Hu Lin looked at the falling snow outside the window and the rolling mountains in the distance with boredom.

I don’t know how long it will take to get to the capital.
