East Railway Station, Viet City, Viet Dong Province.
East Station is the oldest station in Yuezhou. It has six waiting rooms. There are high-speed trains, express trains and green-skinned trains passing through this station.
Li Banfeng carefully checked the ticket information, Train No. 1160.
Why this train again?
Li Banfeng sent a message: "Didn't this train derail?"
Click~
He Jiaqing replied: "The accident has been dealt with and the trains have resumed."
Finished?
Such a big thing was dealt with so quickly?
There isn't even a "k" in front of the train number.
This means that it is not even an ordinary express train, but the slowest type of train.
I hope his hometown is not too far away.
The ticket information says Gate 96.
Li Banfeng walked around the waiting areas and saw many middle-aged people in suits and ties, as well as many young people dressed casually.
What impressed him most were the old men in simple clothes. They had a lot of luggage, which they carried on their backs, in their hands, or even on their shoulders. Many of them even had a large teacup tied to the outside of their luggage. This was the most common and unique sight in the train station.
But after looking around, Li Banfeng didn't see ticket gate No. 96.
"Where is ticket gate No. 96?" Li Banfeng sent a message to He Jiaqing.
"It's not fixed. Ask the staff."
Li Banfeng asked five station staff in succession, and the first four said that there was no ticket gate No. 96.
After looking at Li Banfeng's ticket information, the fifth station attendant took Li Banfeng to the second waiting hall, next to the toilet, through a corridor, opened the iron door, and entered an underground passage.
Underground passages are common in train stations, but this one is a little special. The passage is very long, and under the dim light, the smell of damp and rottenness is pungent.
The ground was full of potholes and woodlice were crawling in the stagnant water. The underground passage with such a harsh environment seemed to have only appeared in Li Banfeng's childhood memories.
When he was a child, he often went to an abandoned train station, not to take the train, but to steal scrap metal with Old Lady Wu.
After passing through a long underground passage, the staff took Li Banfeng directly to the platform.
He took out a black box that was shaped a bit like a mailbox.
There is a crank on the right side of the box. When the staff cranks the crank, a piece of ticket pops out from the gap above the box.
It was a piece of ticket, a ten-centimeter-long piece of soft paper ticket, not the hard paper train ticket that Li Banfeng was familiar with.
The staff stamped the ticket and handed it to Li Banfeng.
On the front of the ticket, each station and arrival time are written.
Santoucha, Haichiling, Lushuiwan, Kudaikan...
I didn’t recognize any of the place names. At the bottom of the ticket was Li Banfeng’s destination. The name of this stop was Yaowanggou.
Is Yaowanggou He Jiaqing’s hometown?
Li Banfeng had never been there and had never heard of it.
I looked at the departure time, June 28th, 1:53, so there are about 15 minutes left.
Let’s look at the train arrival time: June 30th, 7 o’clock sharp.
Almost two days!
This journey is a bit long!
Look at the seats again.
Carriage seven, seat seven, first-class sleeper ticket.
That's a soft sleeper.
Soft sleeper is barely acceptable.
There was a line of small words on the ticket. Li Banfeng took a careful look and saw that it said: This train provides hot water, but no food. Passengers are requested to prepare their own food.
During the two-day journey, there was no food sold on the train!
What about melon seeds, drinks and mineral water?
Don’t they even have the most basic stroller?
Why didn’t you tell me this earlier? What am I going to eat along the way?
There are food for sale in the waiting hall. Can I run back along the same route from the platform?
There were only fifteen minutes left before leaving the car, and it seemed like it was too late.
Not only is the route too complicated, but you also have to pass through an iron gate in the middle.
Besides, if he happened to run into that big-eyed man, he would definitely be shot dead.
Buy a little from someone on the platform?
On this old platform, Li Banfeng was the only one waiting for the train.
Get on the bus and then find someone to buy it from?
Is there anyone willing to sell it to me?
…
At the critical moment, Li Banfeng's cell phone rang, and He Jiaqing sent a message: "Brother, have you bought food?"
"You just remembered it? Why didn't you remind me when I was in the supermarket?"
"It was an emergency, and I forgot. Once you get on the train, you must not leave the car."
Why can't I leave the car?
Does going to the toilet count as leaving the car?
I can't hold it in for two days, can I?
Li Banfeng was just puzzled when he suddenly saw an old lady walking towards him on the platform holding a cardboard box.
"Young man, would you like to buy some instant noodles?"
Li Banfeng looked at the other party with vigilance. There were actually people selling things on the platform!
In fact, there are usually people selling food on the platform of the green-skinned train. Li Banfeng has ridden on a green-skinned train, so this is not something new to him.
But why didn’t I see this old lady just now!
The old lady said, "The train will be here soon. There's nothing to eat on the train. Buy a few boxes and take them with you!"
"How much is a box?"
"Four."
Only four dollars!
Not to mention the train station, even in any supermarket in Yuezhou City, this price is absolutely reasonable.
"Ten boxes please!"
Ten boxes are enough for two days.
Li Banfeng took out his mobile phone and was about to scan the code when he suddenly saw a tall man in uniform walk onto the platform and snatch a box of instant noodles from the old lady.
"Who told you to sell things here?" the uniformed man asked.
"I've told the stationmaster." The old lady replied tremblingly.
"I haven't heard the stationmaster say that the things will be confiscated!" The man in uniform turned around and left with the box on his shoulder. The old lady looked at him tremblingly, feeling sorry for the box of instant noodles but not daring to say a word.
Li Banfeng stepped forward and pulled the box directly off the uniformed man's shoulder, causing the uniformed man to stagger.
The man in uniform was surprised and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do?" Li Banfeng asked back, "Are you robbing in broad daylight?"
The uniformed man frowned and said, "I'm a station staff. She's operating illegally. I'm just following the rules!"
"What business?" Li Banfeng looked at the old lady. "This is my second aunt. She sent me to the train and brought me a box of instant noodles. Is that not okay?"
The uniformed man was speechless for a while. Li Banfeng turned around and said to the old lady, "Second Aunt, it's ok to drop you off here. I'll get in the car in a moment."
As he spoke, Li Banfeng secretly stuffed a hundred-yuan bill into the old lady's hand.
The old lady looked at Li Banfeng and didn't speak for a long time.
A box of instant noodles, twenty-four buckets, is a bit too much.
It doesn’t matter if you have as much as you want! Bring it to Jiaqing’s house to eat together.
Wheezing! Wheezing! Wheezing!
What is that sound?
Li Banfeng looked along the railway track to the end of his sight.
He saw the white smoke first.
To be precise, it was not smoke, it was white water vapor.
There are clouds of black air in the water vapor, which is smoke, the smoke produced by burning coal.
Ding bang! Ding bang! Ding bang!
This is the unique mechanical collision sound between the crankshaft and the connecting rod.
Woohoo~~~
The sound of a real steam-driven whistle!
This is……
Steam train?
Li Banfeng's jaw dropped.
Are there still steam locomotives in this era?
The dark black locomotive, puffing out steam, gradually slowed down and entered the platform.
The doors of the green carriages opened one by one, and the attendants lowered the ladders for getting on the train.
Li Banfeng walked towards carriage seven carrying a box of instant noodles.
At the platform entrance, Xiao Zhenggong and Dengbao silently watched Li Banfeng's figure as he was about to board the train.
"Light bulb, take action!" Xiao Zhenggong gave the order.
Dengbao's heart shuddered. He didn't expect that Team Xiao had already arrived but didn't do it himself.
Is this a test from me by Captain Xiao?
No, it cannot be said to be a test, it should be the last chance given to me.
In fact, Xiao Zhenggong also thought about doing it himself, but he saw the old lady on the platform, the old lady selling instant noodles.
The old lady kept staring at Li Banfeng, which made Xiao Zhenggong very scared.
He knew the old lady's identity. If the old lady was related to Li Banfeng, then he must not take action against Li Banfeng here, otherwise the consequences would be very serious.
But Xiao Zhenggong was very unwilling to let Li Banfeng go just like that.
Is this old lady really looking at Li Banfeng?
He may have no connection with Li Banfeng.
Instead of letting Li Banfeng run away like this, it is better to let the light bulb do an experiment.
"Shoot the suspect immediately, this is the last chance!" Xiao Zhenggong gave the order again.
Hearing Xiao Zhenggong's order, Dengbao gritted his teeth and was about to rush to the platform, but was pulled back from behind.
When Dengbao turned around, he saw that it was the team leader Lao Chen who grabbed him.
When did Captain Chen arrive?
Dengbao saluted quickly. Xiao Zhenggong pointed at Li Banfeng who was about to get on the bus and said to Lao Chen: "Captain Chen, Li Banfeng is trying to escape. He may be carrying important items. Now is the only chance to bring him back."
Old Chen nodded and said to Xiao Zhenggong: "That makes sense. Go ahead. I'll wait for you here."
Xiao Zhenggong's cheeks trembled, but he did not take any action.
Dengbao was very surprised. He didn't know why Xiao Zhenggong was unwilling to take action.
Is it really just to test me?
Old Chen looked at Xiao Zhenggong and said with a smile: "Are you scared?"
Xiao Zhenggong did not make any excuses, he was indeed scared.
The light bulb was even more puzzled.
Why was Xiao Zhenggong afraid?
Everyone says that he is the strongest in the team, so why should he be afraid of a white lamb Li Banfeng?
Old Chen looked at the old lady on the platform and said: "Li Banfeng took the lucky star's things, so he must have three good lucks.
In front of Fuxing, you asked Dengbao to capture Li Banfeng. Isn't that the same as asking Dengbao to die?"
These words completely confused the light bulb.
Who is the lucky star?
That old lady?
Will I die if I go?
Then why did Captain Xiao let me go?
Deng Deng looked at Captain Xiao in astonishment. Captain Xiao did not show any special expression, and did not show any guilt at all: "I am not sure that is Fuxing, and I am not sure whether Fuxing has any intersection with Li Banfeng."
Not sure?
If you're not sure, just let me be the test subject?
Dengbao's face turned pale, and his impression of Captain Xiao changed completely.
Captain Xiao continued, "What Li Banfeng has is extremely important. We cannot let him take it away. We must take certain risks for this!"
"Let me bear the risk alone?" Dengbao looked straight at Xiao Zhenggong.
Xiao Zhenggong said calmly: "This is your responsibility. It was you who lost Li Banfeng!"
Captain Chen patted Dengbao's back to calm him down.
When the light bulb calmed down, Captain Chen turned to look at Xiao Zhenggong and said, "Isn't it good to let that thing go where it belongs?"
Xiao Zhenggong's expression was icy: "Li Banfeng is not a dark energy user. If he takes such an important thing to Prozhou, it would be like sending himself to death. It would be better for him to leave now..."
"I still say the same thing. If you want to go, go ahead," Captain Chen said with a smile. "Didn't you just say you wanted to shoot this guy? Go ahead, I won't stop you!"
Xiao Zhenggong remained silent. He would not risk his own life to provoke Fuxing.
Old Chen looked at Li Banfeng's back and murmured in his heart:
Young man, with the blessing of the lucky star, you should be able to reach Pro Province safely.
But when you come back, I wonder if it will still be like this.
Woohoo! Woohoo!
The whistle sounded again, as if urging the passengers to get on the train as soon as possible.
When Li Banfeng arrived at the door of the green carriage, the conductor checked his ticket first, cut a notch on the ticket with pliers, and let Li Banfeng get on the train.
After entering the narrow aisle of the carriage, Li Banfeng found his seat number seven.
Is this... a seat?
Li Banfeng pushed open door number seven.
Behind the door is a small room.
Single room?
Are there single rooms when taking a train in Huanguo?
There was a long chair in the room. This type of long chair was very common on the green train, but in Li Banfeng's impression, there should be a pair of such chairs, but now there was only one.
In front of the chair is a small dining table, which is also standard equipment on the green train, and Li Banfeng is also very familiar with it.
Next to the dining table is the car window, with handles and buttons on the two lower corners. Li Banfeng was about to open the window to get some fresh air, but he found that there were two doors in this small room.
Li Banfeng pushed open one of the doors and a familiar smell came.
This is a toilet. You can see the railway tracks directly along the toilet.
There is a washbasin next to the toilet.
This is the standard toilet in the green train.
A first-class sleeper ticket actually has a private bathroom?
Li Banfeng turned around and pushed open another door. Inside was another small room, or to be more precise, a bunk bed, because there was only one bed inside.
One bedroom, one living room and one bathroom.
Is this exclusive to first-class sleepers?
Li Banfeng was worried that he had come to the wrong place. Just as he was about to push the door open to inquire about the situation, he suddenly heard the radio in the living room start to sound:
"Dear passengers, welcome to train No. 1160. Passengers who have boarded the train, please do not move around at will. Passengers who are taking this train for the first time, please close the curtains and do not look out the window. Remember not to open the window.
The train crew is only responsible for checking tickets and reminding passengers when they arrive at the station. They will not disturb passengers at other times. If it is not necessary, please do not let strangers enter your carriage.
Have a nice trip. ”
Sizzle~
The broadcast stopped. Li Banfeng was wondering about some strange rules, such as why the windows could not be opened and why the curtains had to be closed.
Li Banfeng's cell phone vibrated and he received a message from He Jiaqing.
"Brother, you must obey the rules on the train."
ps: Thank you to the leader, Nyako, for giving me the name of God. Thank you to Nyako, for your support all the way!
