Chapter 422 Iron Pot
Su Nanzhi sat upright at first, but then she leaned on Gu Xizhou's shoulder for most of the night.
But even so, she couldn't sleep well in the second half of the night. She felt desperate when she thought about having to sit in hard seats for the next few days.
She used to be a strong woman who could stay awake for several nights in a row, and she couldn't become younger after being reborn.
But when she opened her eyes the next day, Gu Xizhou, who had just said he wanted to go to the bathroom, came back in a hurry.
"Let's go. I exchanged tickets with the flight attendant."
Gu Xizhou came close to her and whispered this, then began to pack his luggage.
Su Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and followed Gu Xizhou without saying a word.
When the people around saw the two of them packing their luggage and leaving, they thought they were about to reach their destination and were envious.
Among them, the aunt who made fun of me yesterday was the most envied one.
But she knew that the two of them were going to Taipei City and had not yet arrived at their destination.
The young man must have felt sorry for his wife and changed her to a sleeper berth.
When she married her old man, he loved him so much.
Su Nanzhi didn't know what others were thinking. She followed Gu Xizhou and soon arrived at the sleeper car.
"You rest here first, I'll get some hot water."
The sleeper ticket that Gu Xizhou bought from the conductor was not for the same carriage. Fortunately, people nowadays are very enthusiastic, and Gu Xizhou used the lower berth to exchange for the upper berth, so he quickly moved to the same carriage as Su Nanzhi.
Su Nanzhi sat on the lower bunk, still a little depressed.
Because it was early in the morning, the people in the carriage were either still sleeping or had already gotten up and were eating breakfast.
Some were sitting in the aisle chairs, daydreaming.
Su Nanzhi looked at the people coming and going in the aisle with a blank look in her eyes, and soon noticed a familiar person.
It was the middle-aged man holding a black leather bag whom I met at the bus stop yesterday.
At this moment, he was still holding a black leather bag in his arms, looking around, not knowing what he was looking for.
Soon his eyes lit up, and he quickened his pace and hurriedly walked past the carriage where Su Nanzhi was.
Su Nanzhi was feeling a little down because of staying up late, and now she was curious. She was about to stand up and take a look in the aisle.
Gu Xizhou came back with hot water in one hand and the breakfast he had just bought in the other.
"Wash up first, come back and have breakfast before going to bed."
After saying that, he put down the things in his hands, lowered his head and took out a towel, toothbrush and toothpaste from his luggage bag.
Su Nanzhi took the toiletries and walked out of the private room. The man with the black bag was no longer in the aisle.
She couldn't help but tell Gu Xizhou about the man with the black bag.
"What do you think is in that big brother's black bag?"
Su Nanzhi looked curious.
Gu Xizhou was not as curious as her, but he still thought about it seriously and finally gave his own guess.
"Maybe it's a pickling stone passed down in the family."
Su Nanzhi opened her mouth slightly, looking as if to say, "Don't you listen to what I'm saying?"
Gu Xizhou looked calm.
Their troops often go on missions. Once, a village was hit by a flood and the troops sent people to rescue.
An old lady was holding a package in her arms. The rescue soldiers finally rescued the old lady from the flood. The old lady held the package and said that it was the blessing of her ancestors that helped her escape from danger.
Finally, he kowtowed to the package several times.
Later, it was not until the onlookers made sarcastic remarks that they realized that the package contained a large stone.
It is said that it was passed down from the ancestors of the aunt. It can be used to crack walnuts and pickle pickles, and is also offered as an offering on important festivals.
Although this stone is no different from other stones that can be found on the roadside, it is the aunt's favorite.
Su Nanzhi was stunned when she heard this, but as soon as she thought of the big rock in the man's arms, her curiosity disappeared immediately.
After all, in the past life, there were people who said that hugging a big iron pot could prolong life.
Gu Xizhou glanced at the aisle and didn't see the man with the black leather bag in Su Nanzhi's mouth. Then he withdrew his gaze and urged Su Nanzhi to eat breakfast.
Although Su Nanzhi had no appetite, she ate breakfast and fell asleep soon after breakfast.
When she woke up again, it was already noon.
Gu Xizhou was sitting on the corner of her bed, chatting with the old man opposite.
To be more precise, it was the uncle's one-sided output, and Gu Xizhou played the role of a listener.
"You have to know that back then we didn't have the conditions that you young people have now. We..."
No matter what time it is, there are always grandpas and aunts who reminisce about the past.
When Gu Xizhou saw Su Nanzhi woke up, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned to look at her.
Su Nanzhi looked at Gu Xizhou, who looked like he was saved, and found it a little funny. She was about to speak.
She was interrupted by the sound of a child crying.
"Why are you still arguing with a child..."
An angry female voice followed closely behind.
Compared with the sleeper car and the hard seat car, it was still very quiet. Everyone was instantly attracted by the noise and gathered towards the private room where the sound came from.
Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi did not join in the fun, but the old man opposite Su Nanzhi was curious. As soon as the sound was heard, he rushed out like an arrow.
A few minutes later, the two learned from him the cause and course of the incident.
It's not a big deal, just a small matter.
A child of four or five years old was ignorant and touched the bag of the passenger in the opposite bunk that was placed on the table. The passenger slapped him in the face. The child's parents were unhappy and started arguing with the passenger.
After saying that, the old man said seriously, "This man is really petty. Can a broken bag be touched and a piece of skin fall off? A grown man hitting a child is really shameless."
"You only bully people because the two of you are on the train and your husband is not around."
Su Nanzhi did not see what happened, and when she heard what the old man said, she did not make a conclusion and just nodded perfunctorily.
The old man was in high spirits, but when he saw that Su Nanzhi did not agree with him, he looked disapproving.
"You childless young people don't like children and find them annoying, so you think that child is naughty and deserves it?"
Su Nanzhi's mouth twitched. The old man was quite advanced in his thinking and even knew how to dislike children.
However, considering that children are naturally active and curious, the man who beat the child might have really done so because the child was too annoying.
Although Su Nanzhi doesn't like children, she is even more disgusted by men who would hit children.
Seeing that the old man had already changed the topic to how adorable his grandson was, Su Nanzhi thought gossip was more appealing and immediately interrupted, "Uncle, what about the kid next door who just touched someone's bag and then got hit?"
The old man nodded immediately. "Yes, everyone else in the room saw it. The child had a slap mark on his face. The mother wanted to call the police, and in the end the man paid 10 yuan in compensation and the matter was settled."
"In my opinion, I should have just held back and let the kid touch my bag. It would have been fine, and I could have saved 10 yuan."
At this point, the old man looked regretful, as if the 10 yuan was taken out of his own pocket.
