"My bag only contained clothes and some personal items. The person searched through it and left without looking through the other people's bags. If it was a thief, they wouldn't have found any money or tickets with me."
"Logically, he would have searched the people next to him, but he didn't leave immediately. This behavior was very unusual. I noticed that no one got up, so I rummaged through the luggage bag in the dark. As a result, I found the contents of this envelope."
“Uncle Duan, when I got up this morning and went to the bathroom, I opened the envelope and found a hand-drawn map inside. It said ‘Heilongjiang Province Border Garrison’. I felt something was wrong. Who would have a flat map of the military?”
"That's why I came to you and the driver to tell you about this. There are criminals on this train, but it's dark so I can't tell who they are. Uncle Duan, I think he put this map in my luggage bag. He might be trying to sneak the map out by using my luggage bag."
Duan Yuming looked serious. The only way to have a flat map of the military was for someone in the military to hand-draw it. As for whether the person with the map was from the military or from an enemy country, he didn't know.
"This is a serious matter. Go back and pretend you didn't notice anything. Keep an eye out for anyone watching you. Remember not to panic. Uncle Duan will protect you."
"You need to be careful, and keep an eye on Xiao Xue. I'm worried that if anything unexpected happens, you and she might get hurt. After all, that person is using your luggage bag."
"I have a thought: what if that person tries to snatch your luggage bag and take the map when you get off the train?"
“Uncle Duan, I agree with your idea. I’ll go back and keep an eye out for who it is. Tell Master not to worry, I’ll be careful and protect Sister Xiao Xue.”
"Okay, we should head back now. We don't want to alert them if we stay out too long. After all, that person might be watching your luggage and you from the shadows."
Duan Yuming led Su Xingran back to her seat. "Xiao Ran, we got the medicine. Remember to take it and rest for a while. If you still feel unwell after taking the medicine, we'll go to the hospital after we get off the train."
Hearing Duan Yuming's instructions, Su Xingran nodded. "Uncle, I understand. I'll take my medicine in a bit. You should go back and take care of Grandpa."
After Duan Yuming left, Su Xingran took a water glass, took out a "pill" from her pocket, and drank it with the water.
Xiao Xue watched Duan Yuming and Su Xingran's actions from the upper bunk. She felt something was wrong. Just now, Xingran had gone to see Grandpa Huang and the others, and she seemed to be in good spirits. How did she become like this so soon, and even take medicine?
The flight attendant pushed a cart of breakfast past, and Su Xingran and Xiao Xue bought some millet porridge to drink. After breakfast, Su Xingran took out a book, a pen, and a notebook from her bag.
Su Xingran read a book while scribbling in her notebook. She was keeping an eye out for anyone watching her and her luggage.
After reading for a while, Su Xingran took the book with her and climbed up to the upper bunk to find Xiao Xue. It looked like the two girls were reading, discussing the contents of the book, and looking at notes in a notebook.
Actually, Su Xingran wrote a few words to Xiao Xue in her notebook. "Sister Xiao Xue, don't panic when you see what I wrote. Just act normally and naturally."
“There are criminals on the bus, but we can’t be sure who it is right now. If anything unexpected happens, Sister Xiao Xue, go to a crowded place and protect yourself. If anything happens to me, don’t worry about me, I can protect myself.”
