Yang Shujue replied, "Don't worry, there are many of us, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
Although it's quite boring on the train.
Fortunately, they had company, and the time passed easily as they chatted and laughed.
On the first day, everyone ate the food and water they brought with them.
Late at night, everyone fell asleep to the clattering sound of the train.
In any case, their sleeper berths are safer.
The first and second days passed peacefully.
Three days.
Lin Jingyu stood up and walked back and forth in the corridor. "It will take another two days to reach the capital?"
"Pretty much, if we're not late, we should be able to arrive the day after tomorrow morning."
Su Jingtian replied with a smile, "If it's later, it should be in the afternoon."
"Traveling by train is really tough."
Lin Jingyu couldn't help but complain, "No wonder everyone dislikes traveling far."
Sometimes it's not that you can't travel far even if you don't want to.
Yang Shujue picked up the conversation, "But green trains are inherently slow, and everyone is used to it. Unless it's another twenty years, the speed should be much faster then."
"Don't talk about the future."
Lin Jingyu was afraid that the girl would let something slip again, so she said to Su Jingtian, "Should you go buy breakfast, or should Shuyu and I go buy breakfast?"
"I'll go."
Su Jingtian glanced at Peng Shiyu, who had just gotten up and was still a little dazed, and said, "You two go wash your faces one after the other. I'll be back soon."
The food we brought from home has run out, so we have to buy food for every meal.
The three women had no objections to his arrangement.
In this era, it was more convenient for men to travel long distances.
"Shiyu, go with Shujue to rinse your mouth and wash your face."
Lin Jingyu said, "I'll stay here and watch over the luggage. I'll go back when you return."
"Listen, okay."
Peng Shiyu nodded in agreement.
Holding a small towel, I followed Yang Shujue to wash my face.
A dozen minutes later, they returned.
Lin Jingyu went alone.
There were quite a few people coming to rinse their mouths, so they had to queue.
"Old man, how can you be so disgusting?"
Suddenly, a woman's shrill cursing voice rang out, "Get your filth off! You're covered in filth, why are you even washing your face..."
Hearing the sound, Lin Jingyu looked over.
There was an elderly man, around sixty years old, dressed in a worn military uniform.
The clothes looked a bit worn, but they were actually very clean, not dirty as the young woman had described.
"It's not dirty. It's just a slightly old towel that I use every day."
The old man felt everyone's gaze, his expression slightly troubled, but he still managed to explain in a low voice.
"It's yellowed and blackened, and you still say it's not dirty? Do you think everyone can't stand looking at it?"
The young woman's face was full of contempt. "Get out of my way, don't follow me, it's disgusting."
A dozen or so people were queuing up and watched this scene unfold.
Although everyone thought this woman was a bit too unreasonable.
However, no one went out of their way to cause trouble at this time.
"I'm in line, why should I move aside?"
The old man ignored her, his eyes filled with righteousness. "If you don't like this old man, young lady, you can leave."
"Old man, what did you say?"
The young woman glared angrily, "I told you to leave, how dare you tell me to go away?"
"The people in front have come out, are you going in or not?"
The old man seemed oblivious to the other person's anger and alerted them that someone had come out.
The young woman wanted to say something more.
I noticed someone was trying to take my spot, so I had to rush in first.
She left.
The old man was still waiting.
People lined up but still avoided the old man a little, as if he were really dirty.
Regardless of others' reactions, the elderly man remained calm and composed.
It's clear that he has a really good attitude.
Lin Jingyu remembered this old man she had only met once.
Passengers rinsed their mouths and washed their faces one after another, and soon it was Lin Jingyu's turn.
The small restroom was filled with all sorts of problems and almost suffocated people with the stench.
Lin Jingyu came out as quickly as possible.
She didn't dwell on what had just happened, nor did she feel any connection with someone she'd only met once.
That night.
Having drunk too much water, Lin Jingyu had no choice but to get up and go to the bathroom.
By this time, most of the passengers had fallen asleep.
Only a handful of people who could stay up all night closed their eyes to rest.
At this time, very few people are using the hand sanitizer dispenser.
As she was about to go back, she heard faint sounds coming from the carriage behind her.
"I'll beat you to death, you old bastard."
"You dare to disgust me? I think you're tired of living."
"Stop hitting him, it'll be troublesome if you wake him up."
"What are you afraid of? You've drugged him, why are you afraid he'll wake up?"
"Alright, since you're already planning to throw him out of the car, don't you feel the pain in your hand if you hit him?"
"Can't I vent my anger?"
"Fine, fine, go ahead and hit me. But if you wake up the others, don't blame me for ignoring you."
...
Hearing these words, Lin Jingyu vaguely guessed what was going on.
If she didn't know, that would be one thing, but knowing that such a murder had occurred, she couldn't stand idly by.
I made the decision after a slight hesitation.
I carefully walked towards the back of the carriage.
The sound of conversation continued.
"Drag him to the last carriage first, and throw him out if you can open the back door."
"What if it can't be opened and is locked?"
"It's simple, just kill it and leave it there."
"You're really looking for trouble. It'll be a problem if someone finds out."
"What are you afraid of? You drugged everyone in this carriage, why would you be afraid they'd wake up?"
