Lu Zhanheng was one of those intellectuals who were reviled. He came from the field marine corps and was agile and ruthless in his youth. He had fought in many battles and had excellent hearing.
He noticed the two people as soon as they came over. At first, he thought they were going to the toilet and didn't pay attention. But as he listened, he realized something was wrong. The two people seemed to have stopped next to the basket of the family across the street.
The family consisted of an old man and a young child, and the couple were well-dressed, but their faces were weathered and they didn't look particularly capable. If these two stole from them, who knows how they would survive afterwards.
But given his current status, he couldn't show his face. If they didn't act, they might be fine, but if they did, they could easily be accused of theft again. However, thinking about the steamed bun from that evening, he couldn't bear not doing something.
Just as the short man was standing beside the basket and about to reach his hand into it, a few coughs broke the silence in the carriage.
Many people sat up straight and looked around. The two thieves immediately pretended to go to the toilet and headed towards it.
Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui were also awakened by the coughing from the other side. Tang Shengkai had his back to his basket and didn't see anything. Lin Cuicui vaguely felt that two figures seemed to have left from beside their baskets.
She looked around in confusion, and seeing that there was no one else around, she opened her mouth, but then thought it was unlikely and closed it again.
She has no evidence, so she can only be more vigilant.
That makes sense; with so much stuff in their house, thieves are bound to be eyeing it.
Lin Cuicui leaned forward slightly, "Third Brother, let's take turns sleeping, we need to keep an eye on things."
Tang Shengkai looked back at the basket on his back, then at Lin Cuicui's eyes, and nodded.
Tang Yue nestled in Tang Shengkai's arms and curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
She had been watching the two men ever since they got up from their seats. If it hadn't been for the person opposite them coughing to warn them, the thief's hand would have been crippled, if not lost. That cough saved the two thieves' lives.
But the thieves probably don't know that, and they might even hate them.
However, it seems they have good intentions; even though they are in trouble themselves, they are willing to lend a helping hand. People like that are worth getting along with.
If they still haven't eaten by tomorrow morning, she's willing to give them a few more steamed buns.
Despite the long distance and the high mountains, this meeting might be forever. She hadn't intended to have much contact with these people; she thought it would be a chance encounter, with no debts owed to each other. But little did she know, this meeting would be forever.
