Chapter 022: Stealing Chickens Failed but Losing Rice
While I was waiting for the train on the platform, passengers came one after another, carrying large and small bags, and some were carrying shoulder poles. In short, not one of them came empty-handed or pushing a suitcase like in later generations.
As soon as he saw this situation, Ye Qing already had a bad feeling.
Even though she had traveled light, it would be very crowded with so many passengers carrying their luggage on board.
Sure enough, Ye Qing’s worries were right.
As soon as the train arrived at the station, all the passengers swarmed towards the door, blocking the door of every carriage. Some even stuffed their luggage through the windows, leaving Ye Qing dumbfounded.
If Ye Qing didn't have supernatural powers, with his original sickly physique, facing such a scene, he would probably lose half his life just by getting on the car.
Ye Qing found the carriage he was in, but there were so many people trying to get on the train that there was no room to step.
She just wanted to let the passengers with large and small luggage get on first, and she would wait until the last door of the car was not so crowded.
Who knew that she was still hesitating when she heard a series of rapid bells and whistles from the platform, and then a conductor on the platform was waving a flag. The conductor at the door suddenly changed his expression and immediately started to urge:
"If you haven't gotten on the bus yet, get on quickly. It's about to leave!"
What? So fast?!
Ye Qing was startled and frightened. She dared not to be humble anymore, nor did she choose which carriage to board. She looked back and made a decision instantly. She rushed towards a carriage where most of the passengers were boarding, and climbed onto the train against all odds.
The conductor of that carriage took one look at the ticket in her hand, and roughly pushed her and her luggage onto the train, then slammed the door shut, almost sewed up Ye Qing's shoulder bag!
Ye Qing was squeezed on the door frame where the carriages were connected, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath. Another whistle was sounded, followed by a long sound of the train whistle. The next second, the carriage suddenly rushed forward, and the simple green train began to move forward slowly, and soon began to clang out of the station.
It was a close call! Ye Qing couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
She suspected that if she had reacted a little slower, she might not have been able to get on the bus in time!
After resting for a while at the door, Ye Qing carried his luggage and prepared to move to the front carriage.
In order to get on the train quickly, she ran a few more carriages to the back, and now she was quite far away from the seat marked on her train ticket.
Although the connection between the carriages where she was currently standing was still vacant, there was no other way. She would be on this train for two days and two nights, and it was impossible for her to stay here all the time. If she really had to stand here for two days and two nights, her legs would probably be crippled.
But the trains of this era were really crowded. Not to mention the seats, there were people lying in the aisles, toilets, luggage racks, and under the seats. Every carriage was packed like sardines.
In addition, there was no air conditioning on the trains of that era. It was September and the temperature in the south was still quite high. People would sweat profusely if they moved a little in the carriage, let alone moving to the front carriage, which was definitely more difficult than climbing a mountain.
Ye Qing tried it, but found that he couldn't squeeze through at all. In the end, he had no choice but to go back and planned to pass this station first.
Fortunately, the train stopped at a small station after about an hour. As soon as it stopped, many short-distance passengers got off with their luggage.
While these people were getting off the train and the passengers at the station had not yet boarded, there were finally some vacancies in the carriage. Seeing the opportunity, Ye Qing quickly picked up his luggage and ran to the front carriage.
After passing three or four carriages, she finally arrived at the carriage where her ticket was.
But what Ye Qing didn't expect was that when she checked her ticket and found her seat, someone was already sitting there.
An old lady in her fifties was sitting in her seat eating melon seeds, and a child of two or three years old was sitting in the seat next to her.
Seeing the old lady stuffing the peeled melon seeds into the little boy's mouth in a familiar manner, Ye Qing guessed that the child should be her grandson.
After carefully checking the seat number on his ticket and confirming that he was in the right seat, Ye Qing walked straight over and said politely to the old lady:
"Comrade, you seem to be sitting in the wrong seat. This is my seat. Could you please give way to me?"
The old lady paused in her melon seed cracking, then raised her head and glared at Ye Qing with displeasure, accusing him righteously:
"What's wrong with you, little girl? You look quite old, but you don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young? Not to mention that I've taken your seat. Even if I didn't, you should have taken the initiative to give up your seat to me when you saw my situation. Do you understand?"
The old lady occupied the seat as if it was her right, which made Ye Qing laugh out of anger.
Isn't this a typical case of "I am weak but I am right"? If she was thin-skinned, she would have been controlled by this old lady.
But Ye Qing is not ready to get used to it. Giving up your seat is a favor, and not giving up your seat is your duty. It's all voluntary. But if someone wants to use moral blackmail, Ye Qing won't buy it.
Moreover, Ye Qing had already seen that the old lady had a ruddy complexion and a loud voice. She looked very healthy and did not belong to the group of the elderly, weak, sick or disabled.
"Mom, this seat is mine. I can give it up, but you can't ask me to. Do you understand? And your grandson is so young, there is no need for him to occupy a seat all by himself. Can't you just hold him in your arms?"
Seeing that Ye Qing refused to give in, the old lady's expression suddenly turned unhappy.
"Ye Qing, why are you like this? Isn't it just sitting in your seat? The old lady is so old, it's not easy for her to go out with a little grandson. You should understand her and don't have to be so aggressive, right?"
Before the old lady could even start making a scene, someone behind her started to blame Ye Qing.
Ye Qing turned sideways and looked back, and saw two familiar faces on the other side of the aisle.
Well, aren’t these Li Juan and Yin Shuang who went to the countryside with her to Wusong City?
However, before at the door of the Revolutionary Committee, the two of them were still full of fighting spirit and high spirits, but now they are as wilted as eggplants hit by frost.
Especially Yin Shuang, her eyes were red and her face was haggard, the look she gave Ye Qing was filled with resentment, and she looked like she was ready to rush up and fight with Ye Qing at any time.
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then he understood what was going on.
At this time, Yin Shuang didn't know that Li Rulan was not her biological mother, nor did she know what bad things this vicious stepmother had done, so she had deep feelings for Li Rulan.
As a result, "Ye Lijun" reported Li Rulan by real name, causing Li Rulan to be taken away by the Revolutionary Committee. How could Yin Shuang not hate her?
But because she had to go to the countryside to join the production team, Yin Shuang had no way to settle the score with Ye Lijun himself, so she could only transfer her anger to Ye Lijun's daughter Ye Qing.
So at this moment Yin Shuang already regarded Ye Qing as the enemy who killed her mother, and even Li Juan was full of hostility towards her.
Li Rulan works in the logistics department of a silk reeling factory. In addition to her salary, she also gets a lot of benefits that are invisible to outsiders. She is not stingy with her brothers and sisters-in-law from her mother's side. As long as there is something good, she will give some to her brothers and sisters-in-law from time to time.
As Li Rulan's niece, Li Juan has a close relationship with Li Rulan.
Knowing that her brother and sister-in-law favored boys over girls and disliked Li Juan, Li Rulan also loved her niece very much and secretly gave Li Juan many good things.
During this trip to the countryside, Li Rulan even promised Li Juan that as long as Li Juan could keep a close eye on Yin Shuang in the countryside, she would secretly send things to her, so Li Juan liked this aunt very much.
Now that Li Rulan has been arrested, the person most affected is not Yin Shuang, but Li Juan.
Li Juan is unloved by her father and mother at home, and the only one she can rely on is her aunt. But now her backer is gone, and her good days will be over when she goes to the countryside.
So Li Juan, who usually doesn't get along well with Yin Shuang, teamed up with Yin Shuang this time. The two cousins acted in unison and prepared to take action against Ye Qing.
Ye Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
No wonder Li Juan couldn't wait to stand up and attack her as soon as she started arguing with the old lady who occupied the seat. She didn't even give her time to react.
Ye Qing looked at the pair of "cousins" and said with a half-smile:
"I'm sorry, I have a bad temper and can't understand. Comrade, you are so kind, how about you give up your seat to this old lady?"
As he said this, Ye Qing looked towards the old lady.
"Auntie, you can go sit in her seat. It's just across the aisle. If that doesn't work, ask the girl next to her to give up her seat to you. They are cousins, and they must be good comrades who are kind-hearted and willing to help others!"
You are being generous to others, right? You are acting like no one can do that!
As soon as these words were spoken, the old lady immediately stretched her neck to look towards the seats of Li Juan and Yin Shuang, her eyes rolling around, comparing the seats on both sides.
Li Juan and Yin Shuang's expressions froze.
They also didn't expect Ye Qing to be so shameless as to directly lead this troublesome old woman towards them!
Li Juan couldn't keep her composure and immediately refused hastily:
"Why...why should we give up our seats? We don't even know her!"
Ye Qing suddenly laughed angrily:
"You're talking as if I know her. That's not what you said when you asked me to be considerate of this lady. Why, you're quite generous when others give up their seats, but you're not happy when it's your turn? Li Juan, are you being so funny?"
Li Juan was choked by these words and her face turned red, but she couldn't refute a word.
Yin Shuang then stepped out and tried to smooth things over with a smile:
"Ye Qing, we all come from the same place. When we get to the countryside, we still need to help each other. There's no need to start a tit-for-tat fight as soon as we get on the bus, right?"
"It's just giving up my seat. There's no need to be so serious. Auntie, you can sit here with me."
Seeing Yin Shuang pretending to be generous and giving up her seat, Ye Qing couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Before, she thought the two whirlpools on the face of this girl were pleasing to the eye, and she even helped Yin Shuang secretly.
But now, Ye Qing feels that she had made a mistake before.
This little girl's sweet appearance is meant to deceive people, but her pretentious behavior is exactly the same as that of Li Rulan. She is not the same kind of person as Ye Qingye at all.
Ye Qing is not someone who is willing to suffer a loss. Yin Shuang's words imply that she is "more sincere", so Ye Qing really gets excited and has to be more sincere this time!
"That's not true. There is no order without rules. Since the Railways has set up the ticket sales system, it means that everyone has to use the ticket to get a seat. It's not like you can do whatever you want once you get on the train. Otherwise, can those who bought standing tickets sit anywhere? Then can I lie down in the sleeper compartment?"
Ye Qing's words made Yin Shuang look unhappy.
Ye Qing, however, was not ready to give up.
She slowly took out a piece of paper from her bag, unfolded it and showed it to the old lady who was sitting next to her:
"Old man, it's not that I'm unreasonable, but we are both old, weak and disabled. If I give you this seat, it will be troublesome if I get sick later."
"I can't risk my life just to promote the spirit of respecting the elderly and loving the young. I think you can understand that, right?"
Ye Qing held the medical certificate issued by the hospital in her hand clearly. She even turned around deliberately so that everyone could see it clearly.
The black and white words plus the big red seal of the People's Hospital could not be faked. When everyone in the carriage saw this, they were shocked.
No one would have thought that this girl, who had been so talkative and had a very hot temper as soon as she arrived in this carriage, actually had a heart disease!
Oh, that's not easy to deal with. If you make someone angry, they might have a heart attack and be fatal!
Everyone present was nervous, and the old lady who had occupied Ye Qing's seat and was arrogant in the front was so frightened that her face turned pale.
At first, she was hesitant and unwilling to sit by the aisle when Ye Qing asked her to do so. But now, she did not dare to delay even for a second and immediately gave up her seat to Ye Qing in a hurry.
She just wanted to take advantage of her seniority, but she didn't want to be involved in a murder lawsuit just because of a train ride!
After another victory, Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh repeatedly after sitting in his seat, this piece of paper is so useful!
She had used this thing to successfully control Mr. and Mrs. Ye, and now she can even use it to get her seat back?
Ye Qing secretly gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
She is so smart. How did she think of going to the hospital to get this certificate report?
Nowadays everyone sympathizes with the weak. With this certificate, she doesn't have to worry about being harassed along the way and can just have some peace and quiet.
The overhead luggage rack was full, so Ye Qing had no choice but to stuff his luggage under the seat.
Finally able to sit down peacefully, Ye Qing drank water from the military water bottle she brought with her while watching the show leisurely.
On the other side of the corridor, Li Juan and Yin Shuang had been entangled by the old lady.
Previously, Li Juan "spoke up for justice" and asked Ye Qing to understand the difficulties faced by the elderly. Now, the elderly used the same words to shut up the sisters.
The old lady, relying on her age, was extremely unreasonable and demanded that Yin Shuang give up her seat to her, and she also asked Li Juan to give up her seat to her little grandson, saying that it was difficult to take care of the child across the aisle and she was afraid that the child would be kidnapped by traffickers.
Ye Qing was very happy watching the show as she successfully diverted the trouble. However, her relaxed and complacent attitude, as if it had nothing to do with her, made Li Juan and Yin Shuang very angry.
Ye Qing couldn't help but sneer in his heart:
Who should I blame? Originally you had nothing to do here, you should just sit quietly in your seats, but you insisted on rushing in to act as the reasonable person, then don't blame me for being rude, who else should I blame if not you?
Li Juan and Yin Shuang were young and shy after all, not as bold as Ye Qing. After arguing for a few times, they realized that the old woman was not easy to deal with, so they had to compromise and gave up their seats obediently.
The old lady's plan succeeded, and she immediately took her grandson over.
However, even though she got the seats from Yin Shuang and Li Juan, the old lady was not grateful at all. Instead, she was irritated with the two of them and didn't say a single nice word.
This attitude really made Yin Shuang and Li Juan so angry that they wanted to hit someone.
If they had known that the old woman was so ignorant, they should not have stood up to help her! This time, not only did Ye Qing not get embarrassed, but their seats were taken away, and they were also very angry!
The two fake sisters looked at each other, both full of complaints about each other.
Yin Shuang blamed Li Juan for speaking, and Li Juan blamed Yin Shuang for pretending to be a good person. In order to deal with Ye Qing, their common enemy, the two of them formed an alliance with great difficulty, but in the end, their friendship was overturned.
Li Juan sat down next to Ye Qing angrily, which was the seat where the old lady's grandson had sat before.
It was Yin Shuang, this woman who was worthy of being the favorite heroine of Kinki Group, who was standing in the aisle awkwardly. A passenger next to her said that he wanted to go to the dining car to eat, and then directly gave up his seat to her.
Ye Qing glanced at it and didn't care, but Li Juan's face darkened, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes unconsciously.
The reason was simple. Ye Qing's ticket was for a window seat inside, and the seat that someone gave up to Yin Shuang was also a window seat. Only Li Juan's seat was next to the aisle.
Before changing seats, Li Juan and Yin Shuang were sitting in the innermost window seats of the three-seater row opposite each other, but now with this change, she sat in the double seat next to the aisle.
There were many passengers standing in the aisle, so it was crowded and noisy. Moreover, when those standing people got a little closer, a strong smell of sweat hit their noses, which was unbearable.
You won't have this worry if you sit by the window, because the green-skinned trains of that time are not like the express trains and high-speed trains of later generations. The windows at that time are movable sliding windows that can be opened. As long as the window is opened a little, fresh air will flow in and dilute those odors instantly.
So Li Juan was very jealous and unwilling.
All three of them were bullied by this rude old lady, but why was she the most unlucky?
This woman is the kind of person who only remembers to eat and not to be beaten. She was just taught a lesson by Ye Qing, and within two minutes of being quiet, she started making trouble again.
She suddenly turned her head and deliberately raised her voice to ask Ye Qing:
"Ye Qing, the day before yesterday I passed by your Yantang Old Street, and I heard that your eldest brother was arrested by the Revolutionary Committee for hiding some banned books and damaging the publications of Great People? And your eldest sister Ye Hong, it is said that she wrote a shameful diary, which was posted in the alley for public display, and then she went crazy. Is this true or false?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Ye Qing.
There aren't many entertainment activities these days, and there are few major news events for people to know about, so these street gossips have become topics of particular interest to everyone after dinner.
The two things Li Juan mentioned now contained too much information and caused quite a shock to everyone, attracting everyone's attention.
Ye Qing really didn't know that Li Juan would be so stupid as to rush here to seek death!
She wanted to use this trick to humiliate and make fun of Ye Qing, but didn't she know that she also had a shameful problem to deal with in her own family? Instead of behaving herself properly, she even dared to come and provoke Ye Qing. She was so stupid.
Ye Qing couldn't help but look towards Yin Shuang.
Sure enough, Yin Shuang's face was so dark that it was unsightly. She probably didn't expect Li Juan to be such a stupid teammate.
But Ye Qing would not be fooled by this pretty face anymore. As the saying goes, he who teases first becomes the loser. Li Juan started the scolding first, so don't blame Ye Qing for his ruthless counterattack.
"Really? Then why did I hear from the workers at the silk reeling factory that your aunt Li Rulan was taken away by the Revolutionary Committee the day before yesterday because she committed adultery and got pregnant with a man who had no children?"
"If I remember correctly, your uncle has been sent down to labor reform for many years. This man is not around, and suddenly she has a child. It is impossible that she got pregnant in a dream, right? Don't you think so, Yin Shuang? Li Rulan is your mother. You should know this better than anyone else, right?"
Li Juan then realized that she had done something stupid. She failed to harm anyone but ended up being exposed. This was too fucked up!
She hurriedly raised her head and looked towards Yin Shuang as if asking for help.
Yin Shuang, however, didn't care about this idiot at all at this moment. She stared straight at Ye Qing, and the cold hatred in her eyes was almost solidified.
Ye Qing: I have been in the apocalypse for ten years. I have seen all kinds of monsters and demons. Why would I be afraid of you? Come at me if you dare. If I dare to make a move, I will write my name Ye Qing backwards!
Even if she was a favorite heroine of the Kinki Group, so what? She had the ability of wood and had been through many battles. How could she be afraid of a little girl who was born and raised in this era? Whether it was an open fight or a secret fight, Ye Qing had never been afraid of anyone in her two lives!
The expressions on the faces of the passengers around changed from shock to excitement to eagerness at such a fast speed that it was spectacular. They almost directly urged Li Juan and Ye Qing to expand on their previous conversation and talk about it in detail.
It was really their conversation just now, which sounded so exciting that they couldn't wait to move a small stool and sit down to watch the show seriously.
Ye Qing gave Yin Shuang a provocative smile, then turned back to look at Li Juan and continued the previous topic.
Although she didn't like the Ye family, her own reputation was at stake at the moment, and she didn't want the Ye family's bad deeds to become the topic of conversation for these onlookers after dinner.
So she couldn't help but question Li Juan:
"Also, I want to ask you, those two things you just said about my elder brother and elder sister, who did you hear these nonsense from?"
"My eldest brother did go to the Revolutionary Committee because of a misunderstanding, but the Revolutionary Committee had already investigated the matter thoroughly and released him after discovering that the incident had nothing to do with my brother."
"In order to respond to the country's call, my whole family took the initiative to sign up to support national construction!"
"I went to work in the Great Northern Wilderness when I was only sixteen years old. My parents and four other brothers and sisters also boarded the train to the northwest to help Xinjiang today!"
"Even the Revolutionary Committee awarded our family the banner of 'Advanced Five Good Family'. You can find out by just looking it up. What is your intention in slandering such a model family that is brave enough to make sacrifices?"
Ye Qing's questioning seemed to be soft and slow, but it was loud and deafening. It made Li Juan pale and shocked everyone around them.
Immediately, a passenger in the carriage thought Ye Qing's words sounded familiar, and as if he remembered something, he quickly took out the newspaper:
"The whole family went to support the border areas, and was selected as an advanced five-good family. Comrade, is your family from Yantang Old Street?"
Ye Qing nodded calmly.
The man slapped the newspaper and immediately shouted excitedly:
"Oh, that's it. It's all in today's Shencheng Morning Post. Take a look. This news report says that the Ye family, who lives in the tube-shaped building at Lane 145, Yantang Old Street, went to support frontier construction. The street office even held a farewell party for them. It turns out that they are your family, little girl. That's really amazing!"
The man praised and gave Ye Qing a thumbs up.
After hearing this, other passengers in the carriage also came up to borrow the man's newspaper to pass around. Soon, everyone in the carriage knew that the entire Ye family supported border construction.
"Your thoughts and awareness are really high. Your spirit of dedication and sacrifice is really amazing!"
"This is a true model worker and a good example for everyone to learn from!"
"Like fathers, like fathers. This family is of good descent, so the little girl dared to sign up to go to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth at the age of 16!"
"The little girl is still sick, but she dares to go to the Great Northern Wilderness. She is really brave!"
“…”
All kinds of praise came from every corner of the carriage. Everyone was amazed, and their eyes were full of admiration and praise when they looked at Ye Qing.
The old lady who had occupied the seat and had been arrogant towards Ye Qing before, now had a much more restrained expression, and her eyes were even more attentive and flattering.
The main reason is that these days, having an officially recognized title is like holding the imperial sword. You will be respected wherever you go. This is also a characteristic of the times.
Ye Qing attracted a lot of attention, and everyone's attention was focused on the "Shencheng Morning Post". Not many people wanted to find out what was going on in Li Juan and Yin Shuang's family.
At least she escaped the disaster, but now Li Juan was really like a quail, curled up in her seat and dared not move.
She didn't dare turn her head to look at Ye Qing, for fear of meeting him again. Even if Ye Qing's eyes swept towards her, she would tremble with nervousness.
This woman was really too scary. She failed to gain the upper hand in two consecutive confrontations. After having learned her lesson, Li Juan realized that her tricks of playing tricks on others were not enough in front of Ye Qing. Every time she took the initiative to provoke Ye Qing, she ended up losing more than she gained. So Li Juan became completely honest.
Ye Qing glanced at Li Juan and snorted with disdain.
Yin Shuang fell silent over there. She lowered her head and her expression could not be seen clearly. I don't know what she was thinking.
But Ye Qing knew that the quarrel between her and Li Juan just now must have irritated Miss Jinli.
So what if she is mad? This idiot has been fooled by Li Rulan and Li Juan. When she knows Li Rulan's secret in the future, she will realize how ridiculous her thoughts and actions are of hating the Ye family for Li Rulan and even wanting to take revenge on them.
I just don't know, when the time comes, when she finds out that she has been deceived by the Li family from the beginning to the end and that she is the real clown, will Miss Jinli break down?
After dealing with all kinds of problems from the passengers, Ye Qing was finally able to sit down in his seat and have a good rest.
But after sitting on the train for a long time, she became bored, so she simply took out the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" that she had found at the scrap yard from her bag to pass the time.
The confrontation with Li Juan just now made her the center of attention, which was not without its benefits. At least her salary had gone up sharply along the way.
One is that when the train attendant passes by this compartment with a kettle of hot water, he will ask her if she needs hot water;
Another thing is that when she needs to go to the restroom, someone will come forward and say they will look after her luggage. She no longer has to worry about someone taking advantage of the chaos on the train and stealing her luggage away when she goes to the restroom or goes to the dining car to eat.
Feeling the other kind of simple enthusiasm of this era, Ye Qing really found it fresh and interesting. She couldn't refuse these people's kindness at all, so she gladly accepted it.
However, because her every move was under close scrutiny, Yin Shuang was very depressed.
Previously, Li Juan reached an agreement with Ye's parents that as long as Li Juan taught Ye Qing a lesson on the train, the Ye father and daughter would pay a reward.
But then Ye's father reported Li Rulan's affairs under her real name, which made the two families enemies. Of course, Li Juan and the Ye father and daughter's plan fell through.
After she got on the train, she was fooled by Ye Qing twice in a row. She immediately realized that this Ye Qing was not easy to deal with. The honest and dull character described by Ye Hong before was probably a lie.
So Li Juan gave up the idea of doing anything small.
But just because she was well behaved didn't mean Yin Shuang was going to stop.
After her "biological mother" was murdered, Yin Shuang hated the Ye family to the core.
She has no way to take revenge on Ye Lijun, the culprit for the crime, so she will collect some interest from his daughter Ye Qing first.
But what Yin Shuang didn't expect was that the quarrel between Li Juan and Ye Qing actually made Ye Qing the center of attention, and everyone on the train regarded Ye Qing as the object of special attention and protection.
Now the hot water that Ye Qing drinks is poured by the train attendant himself. Every time it is mealtime, Ye Qing goes to the dining car to eat. All the food intake links are strictly controlled, completely blocking her chance of contact and secretive action.
Ye Qing is not stupid. The novel begins with her dying on the train. How could she give others a chance to harm her?
So she didn't prepare a lot of dry food to take in the car like other protagonists in novels.
Anyway, she had change and food coupons, and the food on the dining car was not bad. Why would she eat dry food when she had hot meals and hot dishes?
She wasn't a masochist, so there was no need to waste her time. It would be easier to just eat in the dining car.
Moreover, the weather is hot, and the food will go bad if it stays in the car for a day. Spoiled food is also the culprit for diarrhea, so she must take precautions before it happens!
Unable to find an opportunity to deal with Ye Qing, Yin Shuang was furious and could only point the gun at Li Juan, the idiot.
If it weren't for that idiot's gossip, her mother's scandal would not have been exposed by Ye Qing, and she would not have been stared at openly and secretly by the passengers in the carriage, and she would not have fallen into such an embarrassing situation!
So, when Ye Qing returned to his seat after dinner in the dining car in the evening, he noticed something unusual.
Li Juan, who was sitting next to her, started running to the restroom frequently.
At first, I could maintain the frequency of going once an hour, but later, the intervals became half an hour, twenty minutes, ten minutes...
Li Juan's face became paler and paler, and she became weaker and weaker. Finally, she just squatted in the toilet and couldn't come out.
Seeing this situation, Ye Qing was really surprised.
The plot god is really awesome. Originally, she was the one who died of diarrhea in the novel, but in order to avoid the fate of being cannon fodder, she was on guard from the moment she got on the train. In the end, she didn't get caught, and the person with diarrhea became Li Juan?
Does it mean that the main plot of the story will not change, but the subject of the event will be different? If so, does it mean that the child abduction incident will also happen?
When Ye Qing thought of this possibility, his heart sank. He subconsciously looked around the carriage, vigilantly scanning every passenger, trying to determine who among them was the suspect of child trafficking.
But looking at them this way, she felt that these people were quite normal, and she couldn't tell who was wrong.
If we were to say who is the most weird person in the car, it would probably be the heroine of Nishikigami.
Because ever since Li Juan started having diarrhea, she has been staring at what is happening here.
Seeing her changing expressions, Ye Qing suspected that she was the one who did it. After all, the fake sisters were eating dry food together for lunch, so that was the best opportunity to take action.
Ye Qing couldn't help but complain in his heart.
This Yin Shuang's behavior was insidious, vicious, and vindictive. She was an exact replica of the stepmother Li Rulan. Such a person could actually be the heroine and was even portrayed as a simple, kind, and beautiful lady in the novel. This made Ye Qing very confused.
And she remembered that in the original novel, after she, a cannon fodder, died of a heart attack, she also lost her equipment!
That's right, the handbag she was carrying fell off and was picked up by the heroine, who then got a considerable sum of money from it. This money became the starting capital for the heroine to become rich.
She now suspected that the money the heroine got in the original novel was most likely not the few dozen yuan in change she put in her bag, but the huge sum of 1,300 yuan she sewed on her body!
If this is true, then it is very questionable how the heroine got the money.
After all, the money was sewn into her underwear, and it was impossible for an outsider to get it by picking up a fallen shoulder bag, unless the heroine had noticed the money a long time ago, and then in the original book, after this passerby A died suddenly of a heart attack, the heroine took advantage of the chaos and found an opportunity to steal her underwear. This is not impossible.
Thinking that the 1,300 yuan he had saved with great effort and risk was stolen, Ye Qing couldn't help but curse, "Bah!"
Not only does the plot master want her to die, he even wants to give her money to the heroine. This is a really good plan!
Ye Qing will never allow herself to fall into such a situation. If she really can't beat the plot, before she becomes cannon fodder and becomes the nourishment for others' survival, she will definitely drag the heroine to be a scapegoat!
No one knew how many drugs the heroine had given her, but Li Juan had diarrhea and was exhausted. She almost collapsed on the ground like a pile of mud.
In fact, Ye Qing could cure this situation with just a few moves, but she is not the Virgin Mary, so she would not repay evil with kindness or show kindness to someone who has been hostile to her and has been trying to trip her up since she got on the car.
So she chose to stand by and watch.
Anyway, there is nothing left in her stomach after diarrhea, so she just needs to hold on for another night. Li Juan doesn't have a heart disease like her original self, so diarrhea to clean out her intestines and stomach won't kill her.
What she is more worried about now is the problem of human traffickers.
After all, according to the original plot line, Li Juan's diarrhea and weakness meant that the traffickers were about to show up!
At around eight or nine in the evening, the train stopped at a new station. A group of short-distance passengers got off the train, and another group got on.
The carriage was once again crowded and the noise was deafening.
Ye Qing closed the book in his hand and his eyes unconsciously wandered over the new passengers.
But the embarrassing thing was that Ye Qing had been staring all the way from this station, and then at several other stations, with short-distance passengers getting on and off, but she still didn't find the legendary human trafficker.
Finally, Ye Qing's eyes became sore from staring so much that he could not bear it any longer and fell asleep leaning against the window.
But sleeping on a hard seat on a train was very uncomfortable. Ye Qing did not sleep well and would wake up from time to time. He continued to do this until dawn. Suddenly, a rough male voice rang out, breaking the silence of the carriage in the early morning:
"What are you doing?!"
It was around five in the morning and most of the passengers in the carriage were sleeping in various strange positions. The noise was so loud that it woke everyone up.
Ye Qing also looked in the direction where the sound came from.
She saw the old lady who had occupied her seat before, now standing several rows behind, being grabbed by the arm by a short, thin man dressed like a farmer with an angry look on his face.
The noise so early in the morning naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of other passengers, and someone immediately asked what was going on.
The man immediately started yelling:
"What's going on? This old woman is sneaky. She came to my wife's place and undid my baby's blanket. I suspect she is a kidnapper!"
What?
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked towards the old lady in suspicion.
Ye Qing also felt nervous.
She had been keeping an eye on the human traffickers and had not considered this shameless old lady as a suspect.
But it is indeed abnormal to lift the blanket of a child in the mother's arms early in the morning while the mother is asleep.
Ye Qing couldn't help but look at the old lady with alert and scrutinizing eyes again. Even the little grandson following beside the old lady made Ye Qing doubt whether he was her biological grandson.
The old lady was grabbed by the man's arm and struggled to get away. She felt embarrassed and hesitated at first, but there were too many people staring at her, so she had to bite the bullet and explain:
"I just saw that his wife was taking care of the baby who was still in the cradle. I wanted to know how old the baby was. If he was small, he probably wouldn't be able to eat much milk. My grandson followed me out and didn't eat much yesterday. I wanted to ask his wife if she could give my grandson some of her remaining milk!"
After these words were spoken, the passengers in the carriage were speechless for a moment.
Because of the previous seat-hogging incident, many people noticed that the old lady was carrying a two-year-old grandson. Nowadays, most families have children one after another, so children are usually breastfed until seven or eight months and then switch to eating rice and flour. When they are over two years old, the food they eat is basically the same as that of adults.
Now the old lady actually asked for breast milk for her two-year-old grandson. This reason is really outrageous!
Not to mention the child's parents, even the other passengers on the bus didn't believe it. Li Juan had been bullied by the old lady before and was completely defenseless. Now that she saw an opportunity, even though she was weak from having diarrhea all night, she still rushed forward to join in, clamoring to call the conductor to check on the old lady!
Ye Qing said nothing. Although Li Juan was a troublemaker, the matter of human trafficking was no small matter. It was better to be safe than sorry. It would not be a bad idea to call the flight attendant and inquire about it in detail.
However, not many people agreed with Li Juan's proposal.
Nowadays, few people are willing to deal with the police. Even the man who was grabbing the old lady didn't want to get involved and chose to keep things quiet.
The old lady knew she was in the wrong this time and didn't dare to argue as so many people were staring at her. When she saw that the other party didn't pursue the matter, she breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ran back to her seat.
As a result, just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by the mother holding the child.
"Auntie, my child is still asleep. When he wakes up, if there is still some milk left after he finishes his feeding, please send your grandson over and I will let your child have a drink."
The old lady didn't expect that the man was fierce, but his wife was quite gentle and generous. The old lady came here with the idea of taking advantage of him, and now that the woman had given in, she achieved her goal, and nodded happily, as if she was afraid that the woman would go back on her word.
The two parties involved in the conflict have since calmed down. The couple no longer cares about it, and the other passengers certainly don't want to make a fuss about it anymore. Only Li Juan is still standing there, feeling resentful and unwilling, and upset about not being able to see the old lady's misfortune.
Ye Qing shook his head secretly and didn't take this little episode to heart at all.
