Song Shuxi and Tiantian left quietly, without asking Wei Jianguo and others to take leave to see them off, and without delaying the children's schooling.
The two of them first took a bus to the city, and then took a train to Ergun Sumu.
On the train, the two sat on the lower bunk, with Fudian and Huzi beside them.
At home, with the comparison of Lightning and Moying, Fudian looked a little silly.
When going out, it becomes the undisputed leader compared to other dogs.
At this moment, it crouched beside Song Shuxi like a loyal guard, with firm and sharp eyes, scanning the surroundings vigilantly, as if it was Song Shuxi's last line of defense.
With Fudian and Huzi around, no one in this small cubicle could cause trouble for them.
After all, in this age when people can’t even get enough to eat, the family must be well off to be able to raise such a strong dog.
Song Shuqian and Tiantian chatted idly, and they talked about unimportant things like clothes and food.
They were used to having children chattering around them, so they were a little uncomfortable with the sudden silence.
Fortunately, that little bit of discomfort was quickly washed away by the desire to travel.
The two of them enthusiastically discussed their travel plans and the good things they planned to exchange.
Song Shuxi was so tired from chatting that she was about to fall asleep.
Tiantian patted her and said, "Go up and sleep on top."
The two of them bought a middle bunk and a lower bunk. For safety reasons, Song Shuxi stayed in the middle bunk.
The middle berth is in a good location, and no random people come to take the seat. If a bad guy sneaks in, the first place he'll look for is the lower bunk.
There is Tiantian on the lower bunk, which is very safe.
Song Shuqian, who was very skilled in martial arts, found it easy to get on the bunk.
He supported himself with his arms, turned around and came up, with a carefree and unrestrained movement.
She brought her usual blanket and used it as a bed sheet and as a cover.
Fudian did not forget the mission it came for, and climbed up the ladder by itself, insisting on being with Song Shuqian.
The stalemate continued, and Song Shuqian made things difficult for it.
This is what Song Shuxi did for the three of them because they always run to the kang.
A bit like socks for dogs. Can't block much dirt. But something is better than nothing, and it can be considered a psychological comfort.
Fudian lay at Song Shuqian's feet, closing his eyes and looking around alertly.
The person sleeping on the upper bunk opposite Song Shuxi was curious and looked over here a few more times, and was discovered by the keen fortune point.
It let out a warning growl, as if it would bite the man to death if he dared to continue looking at him.
Song Shuqian also noticed it, but did not stop it. She did not like being stared at like that.
It took nearly 6 hours on the train before we arrived at Ergun Sumu.
Ergun Sumu is very different from Cuiyuan City.
How to put it, if Cuiyuan City is backward in Song Shuqian's eyes, then Ergun Sumu is shabby.
Judging from the urban construction alone, it is at the level of Tong County near Sijiu City.
Low bungalows are scattered in disorder in the city. Their walls are made of yellow mud. The erosion of time has carved deep grooves on the walls.
There are no buildings with Mongolian characteristics in the entire city. There is no hint of its background at all.
Frankly speaking, this place gave Song Shuqian a very bad first impression.
After meeting the people here, my impression of them has deteriorated further.
Regarding this, Song Shuqian could only think of one word: treacherous.
You read that right, it's treacherous.
If Cuiyuan City represents the boldness, freedom and casualness of the men from the grassland, then this place is hypocrisy.
Behind every seemingly enthusiastic face lies a cunning calculation, and behind every smile may be a carefully laid trap.
As soon as they got out of the train station, a friendly-looking lady came over to chat with them and asked if they wanted to stay in the hotel.
Over the years, Song Shuqian has been to many places, but has never met such enthusiastic people.
You must know that this is the world of planned economy and state-owned economy. The salary is fixed regardless of whether you work or not.
Song Shuqian didn't believe that there were still employees who loved their work so much that they would come here in such hot weather to increase the customer base of the guesthouse.
She has always been willing to assume the worst of others.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
She just wasn't bothered to delve into it. After rejecting the person, I just want to leave.
Unexpectedly, the old lady refused and just lay on the ground. "Oh my god, this is so unfair. God, please open your eyes and kill this person who doesn't respect his elders."
If the lucky point is protecting the master, then rush forward. Song Shuqian quickly grabbed him.
What a joke! They are just waiting for something to use against you so they can get benefits.
She said nothing, took out a rope from her bag and handed it to Tiantian.
"Tie him up for spreading feudal superstition. Send him to the committee. He will be skinned alive if he doesn't die."
The two men had no expression on their faces and just arrested the man.
Fudian and Huzi sensed the danger, growled, and looked around vigilantly. It looked like he would bite someone to death if he rushed out.
The people around who were watching the fun were shocked and tried to persuade them.
You say something, I say something, and everything we say is just misunderstanding.
I probably think that Song Shuxi and the other outsider would adopt the attitude that less trouble is worse than more.
But they were overthinking it. These two people were the type who would give in to soft words but not hard ones. If they wanted to force them to compromise, they could just dream on.
The two people were unmoved. Song Shuqian even untied the whip tied at her wrist and played with it in her hand.
In that case, even if you bully me, I won’t be afraid.
Everyone just wanted to watch the fun and didn't want to get into any trouble, so they all kept their mouths shut.
It was the aunt who realized that something was not right and took the initiative to apologize, "I have an empty room at home, so I wanted to come to the train station to see if I could rent it out and not contribute to the household expenses.
Of course I don't want money, I just want food.
I've been following you for a long time and calling you from behind, just to ask you if you want to rent it.
I just didn't expect that you misunderstood me like this. "
When she talked about sad things, the old lady choked up.
Song Shuxi used to work hard in the rear quarters, and what she hated most were people who cried all the time.
Especially an old lady. There is no beauty in crying.
She said in a cold tone, "We are just here to do our job and have no intention of getting involved in your little schemes. With so many people watching, this person is openly practicing feudal superstition. This matter is under the jurisdiction of the committee, so let's send it over."
Of course, in the end, no gift was given. It was not like the two of them had lived a good life for too long and were not going to cause trouble for themselves.
The two of them just want to flex their muscles so that most people won't target them, and make a small number of people fear their own power.
In this way, they can also keep those calculations away from them.
Speaking of scheming, Song Shuqian had seen a lot of it when she first arrived. The salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative seemed honest, but in fact he cheated on the goods and shortchanged them.
Street thugs idle around all day, looking for lone people to extort money from, and once they succeed, they disappear without a trace.
A beautiful woman uses her beauty to bewitch people and uses the land of pleasure as a trap to lure men into spending all their wealth on her, and then ruthlessly abandons them.
Song Shuqian was helpless as she had encountered so many things in such a short time here.
She really disliked this city.
