Chapter 49 I was moved
The train conductor walked around and came back with a pained expression. "I'm sorry, comrade, none of us have any extra gauze."
"I see~"
Just as Su Meng was about to find an excuse to get the gauze, she saw him take off his coat, quickly tear off most of the white coat he was wearing underneath, and hand it over with a sheepish grin. "Comrade, is this okay?"
Su Meng was taken aback for a moment, then took it with both hands, looking at him with admiration, "Okay! Thank you!"
The train conductor had no relation to any of the wounded, yet he didn't hesitate to donate his own clothes when supplies were so scarce.
Admirable and respectable!
She was deeply moved.
Recalling the perilous journey to Guangzhou, she felt a deep concern for the country, riddled with problems.
On the way back to Shanghai, although there were some thrills, I was mostly moved.
Inside the train carriage, doctors who didn't know each other exchanged their medical supplies without any reservations.
In addition to diligently maintaining order, the train attendants also constantly try to solve any worries that might be on everyone's mind.
When Su Meng received the other half of his clothes from the train conductor again, she wanted to say thank you, but ultimately didn't say anything more.
Outside the train carriage, in the heavy rain, countless soldiers and civilians worked together to clear the landslide, move the fallen rocks, and shovel away the mud.
Everyone is working hard to rebuild their home, so it seems that this home is not so disappointing after all.
Encouraged, Su Meng pressed on and completed the minor surgeries on three people in quick succession before collapsing to the ground, utterly exhausted.
"Dr. Lin, I saw Commander Huo."
After helping to treat the injured, Wu Yanru leaned against the window and exclaimed in surprise.
Su Meng looked at the young girl who was so focused on pursuing love with amusement, and asked in confusion, "You like your Commander Huo that much?"
She had never been in a relationship and didn't understand what people who thought love was something to eat or something to live on really thought.
But seeing Wu Yanru enthusiastically chasing after a wisp of cold air, she shook her head and sighed: if love is about chasing, she'd rather not have it.
What she wants is a relationship that is mutually supportive.
Wu Yanru played with her long braid, raising her face with a charming smile, "Yes! Who wouldn't like such an outstanding man? Don't you like him?"
Su Meng's face darkened: "...Does liking something mean I have to like it too? Is that appropriate?"
Wu Yanru was stunned for a moment, stared at Su Meng for a long time, and then suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha! I forgot you're a man!"
Her silvery laughter was infectious; even several of the less seriously injured couldn't help but chuckle, gasping for breath with their laughter.
Su Meng: "......"
She even forgot that she was a "man", and for a moment she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Wow! He can move a huge rock all by himself, it must weigh three or four hundred pounds!" Wu Yanru exclaimed excitedly, leaning against the window. "Look at the muscles on his arms, they're so defined, they're bigger than my arms when they bulge out..."
At this point, all the wounded had been treated, and no one would blame her.
Su Meng also wanted to see the bustling scene she had described.
She carried her small wooden box and looked through the glass window at the people who were soaked to the bone in the rain but full of energy.
Among them were the old and the young, soldiers and civilians, and some who, despite minor injuries, refused to leave the front lines, such as Wang Qinglin.
"Achoo!"
Someone sneezed, and Su Meng immediately thought of Old Jiang, who had harvested eight large snakeskin bags in her space. She turned around and walked towards the train conductor.
"Comrade, which direction is the dining car in?"
"Proceed this way, carriage number 6."
"Thanks!"
After walking to the empty middle carriage, Su Meng took advantage of the fact that no one was around and went into the toilet next door.
When she reappeared, she had transformed into a hunched-over old woman.
She struggled to carry a large bag of old ginger on her back.
If you smell it carefully, there's a slightly sweet smell at the mouth of the snakeskin bag.
After arriving at the food cart and putting the bag down, a pendant appeared on my calf.
"I recognize you."
Su Meng looked down and met the little girl's round, grape-like eyes, which were black with a hint of purple and very beautiful.
Just as stunning as I remember!
"It's you, little girl!"
She touched the little girl's head in surprise and winked at her.
Turning to the wary food truck staff, he smiled and said, "This bag is full of old ginger, and a big bag of brown sugar. A kind person asked me to deliver it."
Upon hearing this, a chef wearing a white hat came out.
"We really don't have enough ginger and brown sugar, comrade, thank you!"
Please tell us who the kind person is so we can send a thank-you letter.
Su Meng pretended to recall for a moment, then shook her head, "The light was too dim, I couldn't see clearly, I only know that he was a tall, thin, and imposing nobleman."
The cook and several train attendants exchanged glances and cautiously surrounded them.
There was a murder on the train, and someone just happened to deliver old ginger and brown sugar. Could there be something wrong with the contents?
With just one glance, Su Meng understood their concerns and quickly untied the bag first. "Don't worry! It really contains old ginger and brown sugar."
My wife has spent her whole life working with crops; she certainly wouldn't make a mistake.
But her words still failed to dispel the group's wariness.
Several train attendants surrounded Su Meng, ready for anything.
The chef picked up the old ginger, looked at it, and smelled it.
Similarly, he carefully examined the brown sugar before a smile appeared on his face.
"Comrade, thank you!" The cook quickly took a hard-boiled egg from behind the counter. "I have nothing to repay you with, please don't find it offensive."
Eggs are a precious source of nutrition, so how could Su Meng possibly dislike them?
She smiled so hard her eyes narrowed, and accepted the gift with both hands. "No problem, no problem at all! Thank you!"
No sooner had I finished speaking than I felt my trouser leg being tugged.
The little girl stared at her longingly, "You..."
Su Meng smiled and lowered her eyes, interrupting her, "Here you go! Where's your father?"
The little girl was the one whose finger she stepped on on the train to Guangzhou.
While in Luocun, she knocked the little girl's father unconscious and sent him to the armed forces department.
Why is the little girl here all alone?
Has her father come out again?
Clearly, the little girl couldn't answer her question.
She obediently ate the egg that Su Meng fed her, and when she smiled, the dimple on her left side was just like Su Meng's, like a funnel on a wine pot.
It looks great! It's very eye-catching!
Before I knew it, I had fed her all the eggs I had just received.
"tasty!"
Upon hearing this, Su Meng's heart skipped a beat, and she snapped back to reality.
How did she just feed her so naturally?
She looked incredulously at the remaining eggshells in her hand, a feeling she couldn't quite describe.
She thought that she probably felt guilty.
When they injured her father and sent him to the armed forces, they never considered how a little girl like her would survive.
At this moment, she not only felt guilty, but also felt a sense of empathy when she thought about her own days of wandering alone.
"I...I'm leaving now!"
Su Meng discovered that the little girl's eyes had a magical quality. She dared not look into them, afraid that if she looked any longer, she would soften and take the little girl away.
"Mmm." The little girl didn't cry or make a fuss; she waved to Su Meng like a little adult.
Hearing her say that, not only did Su Meng breathe a sigh of relief, but the train conductor next to her also breathed a sigh of relief.
The train conductor personally instructed us to take good care of this little girl.
They are most afraid of little girls crying.
Fortunately, the little girl was very well-behaved.
Seeing Su Meng walk out of the food cart without looking back, she sniffed and called out in a muffled voice, "Don't go too far, or I'll have Dad come find you later."
Su Meng smiled and waved, "Okay... then!"
They really are destined to meet!
The world is so big, yet we can still meet on two different trains no matter how far we go.
When she returned to her sleeper compartment, Huo Zhenhua and the other two had not returned.
Su Meng thought that there was nothing more for her to do, so she went to sleep without worry.
Little did anyone know that Huo Zhenhua, not seeing her, would actually find a sleeper car.
