Su Miaoyan stopped in her tracks instantly.
Listen closely to the alarm sound coming from space.
But when she stopped, the sound in the space had disappeared.
Su Miaoyan frowned her beautiful brows. Could it be... that she had misheard?
She quickly followed Lu Ting and entered the carriage.
I was thinking about this while climbing the stairs.
Remember, there are generally only two situations when space issues an alarm.
First, there are things related to assets nearby. Second, the space acquires assets and successfully upgrades.
The second one is clearly unlikely to happen. Could it be that the first one did happen?
But who on the train would actually experience something like that?
Who would bring a large amount of assets onto a train?
Su Miaoyan felt increasingly like she was acting strangely. She glanced at Lu Ting lying opposite her and simply lay down to rest.
The train passed through the tunnel, and it was pitch black all around. Someone in the carriage was snoring.
Perhaps because so much had happened today, Su Miaoyan fell asleep without realizing it, even in this slightly noisy environment.
When I woke up again, I glanced at my watch and it was already morning.
Noticing that she got up, Lu Ting took out toiletries from his bag and handed them to her.
Su Miaoyan went downstairs to meet them. After washing their faces, the two did not go straight back, but leaned against the middle of the carriage, watching the scenery flash by outside the window.
Just then, a child suddenly rushed out of the carriage next to him, his yellowish face covered in tears.
"Hey, Erwa, why are you running around like that? Don't you know this carriage is dangerous!"
The child didn't say anything and continued running forward. When he saw Su Miaoyan and Lu Ting leaning against the car window, his eyes lit up.
They changed direction and charged at us.
He frantically tugged at Su Miaoyan's skirt, his expression pleading.
Su Miaoyan was surprised. When Wang Guifen rushed out of the carriage, she saw this scene.
She quickly stepped forward to apologize, "I'm so sorry, my child has caused you trouble."
Su Miaoyan frowned. "What happened?"
Wang Guifen scratched her head. "It's nothing. My child is hungry. I went to Xinjiang and forgot to buy him anything to eat. He's throwing a tantrum because he's hungry."
Su Miaoyan glanced at it, took out two pieces of beef jerky from her pocket and handed them over, "Eat it, don't cry."
The child didn't take it, but just shook his head frantically at her.
Then, he grabbed her hands, threw the beef jerky in her hands aside, and groped her hands with his fingers.
Wang Guifen was furious. Helplessly, she stepped forward, picked up the child, and said, "This child is so picky about food. Good girl, you'd better not feed him. He'll only waste food. I'm so sorry."
"It's okay, he's just a child, it's normal that he doesn't understand these things."
The sensation in her hand disappeared, and Su Miaoyan stood next to Lu Ting, who had remained silent, and shook her head.
After all, it's someone else's child, and she, as an outsider, really shouldn't interfere.
Su Miaoyan put the beef jerky on the ground back into the bag.
The child struggled in Wang Guifen's arms, his mouth agape, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Su Miaoyan stood up, and when she looked up again, Wang Guifen and the child had already disappeared.
Su Miaoyan felt as if she could still feel the child's touch on her hand. She patted her skirt in confusion, and suddenly, in a flash, she seemed to have caught something.
Just then, Lu Ting was also looking at her.
The two men locked eyes, and Lu Ting said in a deep voice:
"You noticed?"
Su Miaoyan was taken aback, then quickly realized, "Lu Ting, you already found out?"
Lu Ting shook his head. "No, I just felt... that kid looked a little familiar."
He seemed familiar.
Su Miaoyan continued, "That child doesn't seem to be able to speak."
"Hmm." Lu Ting's gaze fell on the door of the next carriage. "There's something strange about that woman."
He was a former reconnaissance soldier, and this woman seemed to have no concern whatsoever for her child.
Even when she saw the child approaching Su Miaoyan, her eyes only showed panic.
Occasionally... a hint of guilt would flash through my mind.
It felt like they were afraid of being discovered.
After thinking for a moment, Su Miaoyan said, "How about we go and test her?"
How to test the waters?
Su Miaoyan smiled slyly and revealed her thoughts.
Lu Ting smiled slightly and softly agreed, "Okay."
The two returned to the carriage, took out some beef jerky and other dry food from their luggage, then stuffed the luggage back under the bedding and tied a knot.
There were only six people in the carriage besides them, so if something was stolen, the target could be identified very quickly.
No normal person would steal things from inside a train carriage.
Moreover, Lu Ting was wearing a military uniform.
It has a built-in deterrent effect, no joke.
The two got out of the carriage, took their things, and went to the workshop where Wang Guifen worked.
Almost as soon as Lu Ting and Su Miaoyan walked in, they attracted the attention of many people.
Ignoring all of this, Su Miaoyan walked up to Wang Guifen.
“Auntie, I saw that your child was making a fuss, and you just said he was a picky eater, so I thought I had some food in my bag and brought it to you.”
Upon seeing Su Miaoyan and Lu Ting, the child was very excited, but upon hearing that they had come to deliver something, he immediately gave up struggling.
Wang Guifen hugged the child in her arms and chuckled, "Why are you being so polite? I already said it's not necessary."
Su Miaoyan smiled, "My husband is a soldier. If he encounters people in trouble on the road, he will definitely help if he can."
After saying that, she winked at Lu Ting.
Seeing this scene, what else is there to wonder? This beautiful girl and this man in military uniform are a couple!
I breathed a sigh of relief; finally, someone could discipline the noisy kids in the shop.
Wang Guifen smiled and said, "Oh, is that so? Then you can leave the food here. Thank you and your husband, young lady."
Su Miaoyan waved her hand, "You're welcome, it's what we should do."
She placed her things on the table next to Wang Guifang, looked at the child in her arms, and asked, "Can I hold him?"
Wang Guifen subconsciously tightened her grip and refused, saying, "He's too noisy. I see your clothes aren't cheap, so don't let this brat get them dirty."
Su Miaoyan: "It's alright, this child looks quite clean."
Ignore the snot bubbles from his nose when we first met.
Su Miaoyan was lying through her teeth.
Having said all that, Wang Guifen handed the child over under Lu Ting's watchful gaze.
"If your clothes get dirty, I won't be responsible."
Su Miaoyan nodded, "Don't worry, Auntie."
The child in her arms was covered in dust and dirt, thin and frail, and wrapped up very warmly. It was already May, and although there was a large temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang, they were on a train, so there was no need to wear so much.
Su Miaoyan thought to herself that Wang Guifen was indeed suspicious.
But he smiled without changing his expression and asked, "What's your name, little brother?"
The child's face turned red from holding his breath, and he pointed...
