The car was swaying and rocking. Yang Dasheng was so surprised last night that he barely slept, and the swaying of the car only added to the discomfort.
It makes you even more sleepy.
Soon his snoring filled the entire carriage.
Huo Junshan gave his butt a slight kick of disgust, but seeing how soundly he was sleeping, he simply ignored him.
It's freezing cold in the carriage; I'll just have to suffer if I catch a cold.
And so, the truck drove very slowly, and the journey was peaceful and uneventful.
We finally arrived in the city.
Yun Ningyan and Yang Dasheng had already woken up.
"Huo Junshan, we've arrived in the city!"
"Um!"
Huo Junshan nodded: "Why don't we get off the bus? Let's not go any further in; it'll attract too much attention."
Yang Dasheng: "Alright, get out of the car. Xiao Liu, find a place to park. We'll eat first, and then you can be careful on your way back!"
The car came to a smooth stop not far from the state-run restaurant, and the four of them walked toward the restaurant.
Yang Dasheng and Huo Junshan ordered four dishes and several steamed buns.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Xiao Liu drove away.
Huo Junshan packed another 20 meat buns, which would be dinner; they could eat them on the train.
The three of them, carrying their luggage, asked where the train station was, to check their tickets first, and then to find a place to stay.
If I can leave today, I will leave today.
Two grown men were carrying luggage, with a pretty woman beside them. People passing by kept glancing at them.
The three of them asked a few people and walked for about ten minutes before arriving at the train station.
After asking, I found out that there was a train going south that night, at 10 pm.
Without a second thought, the two took out their letters of introduction and bought three sleeper tickets.
They didn't go out again, but waited in the waiting room.
The train station was really dilapidated at that time, with mottled walls everywhere.
At least there are benches in the waiting room to sit on.
Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan sat on a stool apart, with their luggage on the stool in between. This was mainly because it was a strict separation between men and women, and they couldn't sit so close, otherwise they would easily be seen as having bad manners and suffer as a result.
They waited in the waiting room, and by evening, Yun Ningyan was very hungry.
It's been an entire afternoon, and we still have several hours to wait until tonight.
Yang Dasheng also complained that he was starving: "Brother Huo, where are the steamed buns? Take them out and have a couple."
Huo Junshan reached into the package and took out a few steamed buns from his spatial storage, which were still a little warm.
He secretly hid it in the space.
He gave Yang Dasheng two steamed buns, then asked Yun Ningyan, "The buns are getting a bit cold. How about we go to the state-run restaurant? Do you want some steamed egg custard?"
Yun Ningyan shook her head: "I'm not going, it's too cold. I'll just eat a little bit, and if it's too cold, I can eat more on the train!"
Three people had steamed buns and hot water, and that was their dinner.
The night was too long to bear. Yun Ningyan always felt her feet were a bit cold. Her body had been greatly improved by the spiritual spring, but she still had this problem of cold hands and feet.
Sitting in this waiting room, the cold wind is blowing in, and there's no warmth at all.
Her feet were getting a little cold.
I got up and walked around a couple of times, and I felt much better.
Huo Junshan took out a military overcoat from his package and draped it over her shoulders, wrapping her up tightly.
If we weren't outside, he would have wanted to pull her into his arms, but he couldn't do that here.
Watching his little girl pacing back and forth, he felt extremely sorry for her!
But there's nothing we can do about it now.
Yun Ningyan ate only one steamed bun and drank some hot water boiled from the spiritual spring; she simply couldn't eat anymore.
There were quite a few people waiting for the bus here, a dozen or so scattered around. The smell of the various dishes was rather unpleasant.
She ate the steamed buns, and then she and Huo Junshan took a walk outside while Yang Dasheng looked after the luggage.
I waited until almost 10 o'clock before finally getting on the train.
They bought sleeper berths, and since there weren't many people buying sleeper tickets, the three of them boarded without much squeezing.
The three of them were sitting next to each other, two in the lower bunks and one in the upper bunk.
Yang Dasheng, being very perceptive, said, "Brother Huo, am I sleeping upstairs?"
Huo Junshan nodded, but added, "We'll take turns on duty. It's a mess on this train, so you should sleep first! I'll wake you up later!"
Yang Dasheng went straight upstairs and fell fast asleep. He was quite relieved that Brother Huo was watching the luggage.
However, he brought all his savings with him this time, which was sewn into his clothes. Both pockets were sealed shut, and there were only a dozen or so yuan on the outside.
He rolled over and covered the place where he kept the money tightly.
Even if he's asleep, his hand is still on it, and if anyone moves it, he'll wake up immediately.
Yun Ningyan sat on the lower bunk. She wasn't sleepy yet and didn't want to go to sleep right now.
Huo Junshan thought for a moment, then took out a piece of sponge cake from his spatial storage: "Have a piece of sponge cake, it's not so cold in the car anymore."
Yun Ningyan nodded, ate a piece of sponge cake, and drank two cups of spiritual spring water.
She felt much better; she had almost succumbed to the cold outside.
It seems that relying solely on the spiritual spring is not enough; she also needs to find a way to exercise more.
Huo Junshan put everyone's luggage on his bed, placing it on the inside of the bed for extra security.
He asked, "Yanyan, are you going to sleep now? Are you still cold?"
Yun Ningyan shook her head and smiled: "Wait a while, it's not cold anymore."
As soon as she finished speaking, the train started moving, and then slowly, the entire carriage went dark.
Huo Junshan quickly sat down on her bed and took her hand: "Go to sleep, I'll take care of it, don't worry!"
After he finished speaking, he was still worried, so he brought their luggage over again and placed it on the innermost side of Yun Ningyan's body.
Yun Ningyan: "Put it here, it's perfect for me to use as a pillow."
Huo Junshan put the two packages away, and Yun Ningyan lay down.
She patted the bed: "Why don't you lie down? It's dark anyway, no one will see you!"
Huo Junshan shook his head: "You go to sleep, I'll just sit here and watch you! I'm on night duty tonight, it's not safe on this train."
Yun Ningyan closed her eyes and went to sleep, so she couldn't wash up that night.
Huo Junshan sat on the edge of the bed, watching the corridor. He was on high alert whenever anyone passed by.
Trains in those days were not safe; there were still habitual thieves.
That night, Huo Junshan didn't wake Yang Dasheng until 2 a.m. Yang went to the toilet and then lay down on the bed to sleep for a while.
Yang Dasheng sat on a small stool in the aisle, staring intently.
Everyone else was snoring loudly, and only a few people occasionally walked by.
And so the night passed.
When Yun Ningyan woke up, Huo Junshan was already awake. Yang Dasheng went to the restaurant and bought three breakfasts.
There were eggs, porridge, and steamed buns.
After the three finished breakfast, Yun Ningyan noticed that Huo Junshan's eyes were bloodshot, so she urged him to sleep a little longer. Huo Junshan then lay down and slept for a while.
However, as the voices gradually increased, Huo Junshan woke up and stopped sleeping.
Huo Junshan led her to the restroom and stood at the door while Yun Ningyan went into her spatial dimension, quickly washed and combed her hair, and then did some simple skincare before coming out.
