"Brother Shan, Brother Shan, I'm scared. How could we be so unlucky? We're just going to the capital, why did we run into something like this?"
Jiang Cha saw that no one was on the upper bunk opposite. It seemed that the two of them had been squeezed together last night. The young couple seemed normal, but it seemed that they were really scared yesterday.
"It's all your fault. You insisted on waiting for a soft sleeper, putting it off again and again, and now you have to deal with this."
"How could I have known that this would happen? I was thinking how impressive and comfortable it would be to ride a soft sleeper back to the capital."
The two of them were arguing quietly, and the uncle said nothing. He walked around the house and took the thermos in his hand. The young couple got anxious when they saw it, and quickly started to touch things in the house.
The ordinary soft sleeper they stayed in had four beds at the entrance and a small table by the window with a kettle on it so the conductor could add water at any time.
Aside from the kettle, which could be lifted, everything else was fixed. The last two people, holding cans and enamel pots, watched the door warily.
The footsteps in the corridor were getting closer, and it sounded like quite a few people were coming. 'I'm telling you, there aren't many people in the soft sleeper here. Let's just pick one and stay here. Damn, we're thirsty, hungry, and suffocating in the hard seats, and they have so many empty beds here and won't let us sleep. Anyway, we can't leave for a while, so I'm going to sleep in the soft sleeper tonight.'
No one dared to speak when they heard the voices outside. They just watched as the group of people shook the door of each box one by one, broke into those that were unlocked, and cursed at those that were locked.
There were five soft sleeper cars in total, with two and a half occupied, one of which was occupied by two people. The people who came took up the remaining two, and those who didn't get any complained bitterly.
I finally made it to dawn and heard the train conductor and the intruders arguing.
"Which car are you from? Who told you to come here? Take out your tickets for inspection."
"I've already parked the car, and they're still checking tickets. I live here, what can you do to me? If you get angry, I'll do the same as that guy from last night. Who cares? If you don't want to die, get out of my way."
"Even if your mother is checking, we are almost starving to death, and no one cares. It's better to be here. Brother, I can smell the fragrance of buns, let's go eat quickly."
The gang pushed the conductor aside and ran to the dining car. The conductor waited until they were far away before knocking on each door and telling them to be careful. In the early morning, someone was killed in a hard seat, and several people were hacked. He went to help, which allowed the gang to take advantage of the opportunity.
Everyone said they would definitely pay attention and hid in the house, no one dared to show their heads.
"The dining car here only provides fine grains, damn, none of them are good. They even need food coupons. Who cares about this at this time? It's been so long and no one has come. Besides, if the rescue comes, we will run to the hard seats. There are so many people inside, who will he go to?"
That's a pretty good calculation. Luckily, I packed some steamed buns yesterday, so I won't be hungry even if I don't go out today. But going to the bathroom is a problem; I can't hold it in forever.
Jiang Cha couldn't stand it anymore, so he got out of bed and took his luggage to the bathroom. "What are you going to do? What if someone comes in if you open the door?"
Timid Xiaoju asked hurriedly when Jiangcha opened the door, fearing that she might get into trouble. She understood human nature. "I'm going to the bathroom."
"I want to go too, you wait a moment." He stood up and followed her without even asking her.
"Let your brother Shan accompany me. I'm alone and I won't be able to defeat them if I run into them. It's much safer to have your brother Shan accompany you!"
Rhino Xiaoju's voice is extremely piercing. I experienced it yesterday. If I go out with her, if something happens, she will have to call everyone in the hard seats.
I went out to the bathroom quickly and heard snoring in the occupied car. It seemed that everyone was sleeping after eating. Jiang Cha decided to go to the dining car. She walked to her car and knocked on the door, but no one opened it for her.
Beautiful, she originally planned to tell them to hurry up and go to the bathroom because those people were sleeping, but who knew that they didn't even open the door for him.
I walked quietly to the dining car. There were only two people inside buying food. They looked at each other and found they were familiar with each other. Then they bought their food and took it away with peace of mind.
Jiang Cha ran into the older sister again and winked at her. The older sister understood what he meant and quickly took the money and stuffed it into her trouser pocket, then filled each of her bowls with the prepared food.
"Someone broke in today and stole a lot of food. Plus, there's been no news. They announced they're no longer offering stir-fries, only big pot dishes. Once the food here sells out, they'll probably close. I'll pack some for you so you can enjoy it later."
I thanked the elder sister and left the dining car with a pile of lunch boxes. I put the empty boxes away and went to the water room to fill a pot of boiling water.
Jiang Cha discovered that there was a small utility room (I made it up) further inside the water room, where mops and buckets were usually kept. I guess the train attendants didn't have time to clean it at this time.
She piled all her things together to create a small space, mopped it clean, and spread out the old bedding she had in the space. She also took out her door sacks and stacked four of them, making the small space even more crowded.
Lying on the floor, looking out the small car window, the rain was still falling. If rescue didn't arrive, we would be in big trouble.
'Brother, brother, brother brother', 'You are laying eggs, brother brother'
"Brother, I just went to the hard seat area and they were saying that the mudslide had blocked the road and rescuers wouldn't be able to get through for a while. We're now blocked from front to back."
"It's okay. Go to the dining car later and ask them to boil some eggs and bring some more steamed buns and flatbreads. I'll fill all the kettles and teacups with water. We'll just close the door and sleep for the next few days."
Thinking of the pile of lunch boxes in her space, the ten dollars was worth it. She had to have an explanation for the outside world. She couldn't just conjure up a pile of food out of thin air. That wouldn't be scientific.
