Chapter 9: Three-headed Fork



He Jiaqing reminded Li Banfeng that he must abide by the regulations on the train.

Li Banfeng quickly closed the curtains and locked the car door.

He took out two boxes of instant noodles, filled them with hot water from the tea stove in the carriage, and ate them.

It seems like some kind of imprint left in the soul. On the train, instant noodles become very delicious.

After eating, Li Banfeng sat on a chair and replied to He Jiaqing: "Now tell me, what is going on?"

He Jiaqing replied: "I am trapped in Yaowanggou. When you get to my house, we can talk in person."

"First, tell me, where exactly is Yaowanggou? Is it still in Yuedong Province?"

"Not in Viet Dong Province, but in Pro Province. Without that thing, I can't get away."

"What is Pro Province?"

"Brother, I'm overdrawn and can't hold on any longer. Let's talk about it when we meet."

"What's in that package?"

"Let me rest for a while. I will definitely tell you. Remember, don't open the package."

He Jiaqing no longer sends messages.

Li Banfeng took the package out of his backpack, put it on the dining table, and looked at it quietly for a while.

To say I wasn't curious would be a lie.

It's impossible not to open it.

The key is when to open it.

Li Banfeng concluded that there were rare treasures stored here.

But when I thought about the phone call from the big-eyed man, the man named Captain Xiao mentioned that this thing would kill many people.

Could it be some kind of poison, or a biological weapon like bacteria or virus?

He Jiaqing didn't send any more messages, he was indeed overdrawn.

Li Banfeng was also exhausted. He had been unable to fall asleep in the dormitory before, and now in the carriage, the tiredness came so quickly that he could not resist it.

He took out his cell phone and began searching for information about Purozhou, Yaowanggou and Lushuiwan.

The information on the mobile phone was varied and difficult to distinguish. Li Banfeng searched for a long time but did not find anything valuable.

The light in the car was dim, and the light bulb in the lampshade seemed to be a rare one when I was a child, emitting a yellow halo that made one's eyelids heavy.

The curtains were closed tightly, so tightly that I could only see the shadow of the receding scenery outside.

The wheezing of the steam train, the collision of wheels and rails, and the occasional whistle formed a hypnotic white noise that made Li Banfeng unconsciously walk into the bedroom and fall asleep on the bunk.

He didn't remember how long he slept. He drank some water and went to the toilet. It was not until a loud knock on the door that Li Banfeng woke up completely from his sleep.

"Brother, brother! Please open the door and let me in for a while, just a while." A woman's voice came from outside the car door, very hurried, very flustered, and with a crying tone.

Another child also begged: "Uncle, please, open the door, please."

The child is crying.

Li Banfeng didn't open the door.

The broadcast on the train said that strangers should not be allowed into the train unless necessary.

And there is another key issue.

How do they know I am a big brother? How does the child know I am an uncle?

Since getting on the train, Li Banfeng has not left the carriage, and has not seen anyone except the attendant who checks tickets.

"Brother, I beg you, let me in for a while, I'll leave soon!"

"Uncle, open the door..."

Knock knock knock!

The knocking on the door became more urgent and the crying became more miserable.

Li Banfeng did not respond, and at this moment, the steam train was slowing down.

The announcement sounded: "Dear passengers, Santoucha Station is about to arrive. Passengers arriving at the station, please pack your personal belongings and prepare to get off the train in advance."

"I beg you, brother, let my child go in and hide for a while, I won't go in!" The woman outside the door shouted at the top of her lungs.

What happened? Why did you have to hide in my car?

Li Banfeng came to the door and was about to take a look outside through the crack when he heard a man's voice: "Kick the door open! He can't open it!"

Li Banfeng quickly retreated from the door and looked around for a weapon he could use.

There are three people outside the door?

There is actually a man!

Underestimate the risks on this train.

"Kick the door! It's too late!" the man's voice came again.

Does he really dare to kick the door?

I guess he doesn't dare, otherwise he would have kicked it long ago.

Inside and outside the door, the two sides were in a stalemate.

Sniff~

With a long exhaust sound, the train stopped.

Crash!

Li Banfeng heard the sound of the carriage door opening and the attendant lowered the ladder.

"Open the door! Open the door! I told you to open the door! Are you going to open it or not..." the woman yelled madly.

The door shook violently and she started kicking it.

It’s strange, why is this woman kicking the door?

Although I couldn't see it, I could tell from the rhythm of the sound that the person who was yelling and kicking the door was the same person, that woman!

The door was shaking violently and she might kick it open at any time.

Li Banfeng prepared spicy strips and the thermos in the car, which were the only two weapons he had.

My neck is a little itchy.

Li Banfeng had no hands to scratch it!

No, it itches too much.

Why did it have to be this time?

Li Banfeng put down the thermos, scratched his neck hard twice, and immediately picked up the thermos again.

Bang! Bang!

The door was about to be kicked open when another voice came from outside the car: "You have arrived at your stop. Please get off immediately."

It's the flight attendant's voice!

The conductor was warning the woman that they had arrived at their stop.

Li Banfeng felt relieved a little. He put down the thermos and scratched his neck a few more times.

The woman screamed, "I won't get off! I'll find a way to buy a fare. I can't get off at Santoucha. The peddler has already left. I have to get off at the next stop. I have to go to Haichiling!"

What peddler?

Now that the peddler has left, why should we go to Haichiling?

Li Banfeng was still in a daze and only heard a scuffle and pushing outside the car.

The woman yelled, "I'm not getting off the bus!"

The child shouted: "I won't get off the bus!"

The man shouted, "We'll buy the tickets in a minute!"

The voices of women, children, and men rang out together, and the sounds of struggle and collision never stopped, but the sounds were getting farther and farther away, and it seemed that they were fighting with the crew all the way under the car.

Soon, the attendant took back the ladder and closed the door.

Li Banfeng sat back in his chair, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, scratched his neck, and speculated on what had happened.

The three of them wanted to get into my carriage, it turned out they wanted to evade paying the fare.

If we let them in, I guess this carriage would definitely be occupied by the three of them, and this is still considered a light punishment.

They dared to kick the door and wrestle with the flight attendants. They didn't even have money to buy tickets, so I guess they would definitely rob me after they came in.

If I can't beat them, the money, instant noodles, spicy strips, potato chips, and He Jiaqing's treasure will probably be lost.

Everything else is easy, but the key is that I can’t let them snatch the instant noodles. How can I get through the journey without them?

Sitting by the window, Li Banfeng drank several sips of water to calm himself down.

huff~ huff~

After stopping at the station for more than ten minutes, the steam train started again.

My neck is getting more and more itchy, like a rash!

Li Banfeng took out his cell phone and was about to check the time when he suddenly heard knocking on the window.

Who is tapping on the window?

Are they the three people just now?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There were continuous muffled sounds.

The train was going faster and faster, but the clapping sound continued.

This guy is chasing after a train and shooting at my window?

How fast he runs!

Li Banfeng was shocked and didn't dare to continue sitting by the window.

He wanted to lift the curtain to take a look, but he remembered the instructions on the radio and did not reach out rashly.

The train passed a street lamp, and under the light, the figure of the person outside the window was reflected on the curtains.

Li Banfeng saw broad palms, strong arms, a broad mind, and shoulders that were even broader than the mind.

There were three heads on those broad shoulders. Although they only flashed by, Li Banfeng was convinced that he was not mistaken.

Is this the person who kicked the door outside the carriage just now?

That should be it!

Li Banfeng thought there were three people outside the door, but in fact there was only one person, a person with three heads!

The conversation I just heard was the three heads of this person speaking in turn.

This place is called Santoucha.

Is there any necessary connection between this three-headed man and the three-headed fork?

As the train passed a row of street lights, the figures of three men flashed repeatedly above the curtains.

He was holding the outer edge of the car window with one hand, his body was hanging in the air, and his other hand was still hitting the window.

The glass of the car windows seemed like it could break at any moment.

Li Banfeng picked up the spicy strips and thermos again and prepared for battle.

A pole suddenly extended from the roof of the car and poked the three men out of the car window after more than ten times.

It's a flight attendant.

The attendant pushed the three men off the car, then put away the pole, calmly jumped to the connection between the carriages, and returned to the carriage.

Li Banfeng stood in the middle of the carriage, not daring to get too close to the door or the window.

Squeaky!

The broadcast sounded again: "Dear passengers, welcome to train No. 1160. Passengers who have boarded the train, please do not move around at will..."

His neck became more and more itchy. Li Banfeng scratched it a few times and found that the skin was broken and bleeding.

What's going on?

Why is only my neck itchy?

Do I need to grow two more heads too?

What if it really grows out?

"It's okay to grow! It's so lonely to be alone!"

"We are always by your side, just in time to talk to you!"

Li Banfeng seemed to hear two people talking in his ear!
