Chapter 37: No Way Back



"Hello, the rain just now caused a landslide. We have contacted the dispatch room. We will all wait for rescue on the spot. Please understand."

The conductor pushed the door open, explained the reason to them, added hot water to everyone, closed the door and went to the next carriage.

"How could this happen? Wuwuwuwuwuwu, Brother Shan, are we going to encounter a mudslide here?"

"No, no, I haven't returned to the city yet, so nothing will happen. Didn't I hear the conductor say he's contacted the dispatch office? Someone will be here to help us soon."

The two of them squeezed into the lower bunk to comfort each other, while Jiang Cha climbed back to the upper bunk and started to pack up. A rustling sound caught the attention of the three people.

"Why are you packing up your things, girl? Didn't we stay here and wait for rescue?" the uncle asked Jiang Cha in confusion.

"If anything really happens, I can just grab my things and go. It's better to be safe than sorry. Who knows how long I'll have to wait."

There's nothing that can't be said. We're not stupid. Besides, we all have our things with us, so if anything happens, it won't be noticeable.

Several people were busy packing up, no one saying a word. "Ding ding, hello, the dining car lounge is open for dinner." The conductor came over to announce that everyone was ready to eat.

Everyone tacitly carried their luggage. The dining car continued serving dinner. The advantage of the small crowd was that the supply was plentiful. Jiang Cha saw the uncle and Xiao Ju packing a few steamed buns, so he followed suit.

After they left, he returned and slipped five yuan to the aunt serving the meal. "Auntie, could you please give me a few more dishes? My dad and my two brothers haven't eaten yet."

Regardless of whether she believed it or not, he quickly stuffed the money into his pocket. He then filled his lunch box with braised pork, fried pork with salt, bean soup with rice, meatball soup, two boxes of rice, and a few sesame cakes.

I stuffed the food into a cloth handbag and took it back to the carriage. Since there was no one in the corridor, I put all the food away and went to the bathroom to get a pot of boiling water.

"You're so slow! We've been back for so long. Did you do something behind our backs?"

I rolled my eyes at this guy, who looked like a rhino with a big bag on his head. "I've been waiting in line at the water room for ages. If you want to get water, hurry up! There are so many people waiting for hot water!"

The three of them went out with their cups and kettles, and returned after waiting for a long time. "It's so hard to get some water. Not only do we have to queue, but we also have to wait for it to open. It's really ridiculous that the conductor didn't bring any water!"

"I heard there was a commotion in the hard seats and hard sleeper cars. It seems the dining car is running low on food, and many people can't get their meals. They're thirsty and hungry, so they started commotion. Luckily, our soft sleeper car is far away."

This uncle is really a gossip. He can find out everything even from such a long distance. He is really a talent!

"Hurry, lock the door. If someone comes here, we should lock the door first. It's been so long, why hasn't anyone come to rescue us?"

Xiaoju was afraid someone would break in, and so was Jiangcha. One or two people wouldn't be a problem, but a real riot would be troublesome. She didn't sleep well that night, and she was half asleep, constantly outside.

"Murder!" Jiang Cha quickly got up, touched the knife under the pillow and looked outside.
