Xu Jianguo was afraid that the two old men would get sick from anger, so he took out a military water bottle from his bag and wanted to let them drink some water.
After the two men finished drinking the water, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one for each of them.
Smoking was allowed in the waiting hall at this time, so the three of them smoked on the long bench in the corner, and no one cared. Only some female passengers frowned and looked at the three of them.
Soon, the time came to 6:45, and the sound of ticket checking began came from the broadcast in the waiting hall.
The three men put out their cigarettes. Xu Jianguo stuffed the kettle into his shoulder bag, then picked up two bundles and walked towards the ticket gate with Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong.
Because he was worried about the safety of the two men, Xu Jianguo did not rush to line up. Instead, he took the two old men to the food counter in the waiting hall and bought a lot of food and drinks.
Two bottles of Erguotou, a bag of peanuts, a bag of broad beans, and six hot donkey meat buns.
After paying for the tickets, the three of them came to the back of the ticket checking line, lined up at the back of the line, and walked forward slowly.
Several space servants had been surrounding the three people, and now they gradually moved closer and stood guard over them.
At the same time, Xu Jianguo also activated the Eye of Time and Space, constantly scanning the surroundings.
The train ticket Chen Jin gave Xu Jianguo was for a soft sleeper car, so after passing through the ticket gate and entering the platform, he walked directly to the carriages at the back of the train.
The conductor checked the three people's tickets, then led them onto the train. After they arrived at a sleeping compartment, he turned and left.
The tickets for three people included two lower berths and one upper berth. Xu Jianguo originally planned to give the two lower berths to the old man, but Wu Tianlong took the initiative to ask for the upper berth, saying that it would be more convenient for Xu Jianguo to move around in the lower berth.
After Xu Jianguo's treatment, Wu Tianlong's hidden injuries left by the war had long since healed. In addition, with the conditioning and nourishment of the space well water, his current physical condition is better than that of some fifty-year-old people.
So Xu Jianguo thought about it and agreed.
There were four berths in the sleeping compartment. When on the train, Chen Jin gave Xu Jianguo a total of four tickets. The purpose was self-evident, which was to ensure that there were no other outsiders in the sleeping compartment.
Xu Jianguo was very satisfied with this. It proved that both Mr. Zhou and Chen Jin were very thoughtful in dealing with the matters of Su Dingshanhe and Wu Tianlong.
At seven o'clock in the morning, with the sound of a whistle, the train to Ice City slowly drove out of the platform.
Xu Jianguo looked at his watch and said, "Are you two hungry?"
"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry. I didn't do anything this morning. How could I be hungry so soon?" Wu Tianlong said.
"I'm not hungry either!" Su Dingshan also spoke.
"Okay, it's too early to get up in the morning, you two should have a good sleep first!"
"Boy, you have worked hard these days. Now that we're there, let's toast you a glass!" said Wu Tianlong.
"Well, it's too polite of you to say that! I'm in good health and can handle it, don't worry!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
Su Dingshan didn't say anything, but just looked at Xu Jianguo. The expression on his face showed some reluctance and heartache, as well as some melancholy.
Xu Jianguo noticed that the old man was in a bad mood, so he said, "Grandpa, cheer up. Have you forgotten what I said when I brought you the letter?"
"As long as there is light in your heart, you won't be afraid of mountains or rivers!" Su Dingshan said.
"That's right. If you trust me, your eldest grandson, then take advantage of this time to take good care of your health. Maybe you'll be able to contribute to the country in the future!"
"real?"
"real!"
"Okay, of course I believe my eldest grandson! Hahahaha!"
Seeing the smile on the old man's face, Xu Jianguo continued to whisper in his ear, "Think of your trip to the Davari base as a vacation and recuperation. I've prepared a lot of good wine for you in advance. The person who delivered the wine to me said that some of the jars are over two hundred years old!"
When Su Dingshan heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and then he whispered, "My dear grandson, keep it all for me, don't give it to Old Man Wu. If he wants to drink it, let him buy it with money!"
At this moment, Wu Tianlong, who was lying on the upper bunk, suddenly stuck his head out and said, "No, what are you two talking about? Can you speak louder?"
The old man and the young man in the lower bunk looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time, making Wu Tianlong look at them in confusion.
Seeing the two of them closing their eyes to rest, Xu Jianguo pulled up the curtains, and then used the Eye of Time and Space to scan the other passengers in the carriage.
He also dispersed the space servants, including Fu Bo, into various carriages.
After taking a quick look around, Xu Jianguo didn't find anything unusual among the passengers, so he temporarily felt relieved.
After closing the bedroom door, he sat on the bunk, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and rested.
In the blink of an eye, more than four hours had passed and the train left Jizhou Province and entered Liaodong Province.
Xu Jianguo was no longer able to complain about the slow speed of trains in that era and the fact that they had to stop at every station. If this happened in later times, it would almost take enough time to travel from Jingzhou to Fengzhou and back.
For more than four hours, except for accompanying the two old men to the toilet, the three of them stayed in the bedroom for the rest of the time.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Suddenly, someone knocked on the bedroom door from outside.
Xu Jianguo's body tensed up instantly, a pistol with the safety off appeared in his hand, and then he opened the Eye of Time and Space.
When he saw the conductor standing outside the door pushing a cart, he relaxed his guard a little. He opened the door and asked, "What's going on?"
"Hello, comrade, do you need a lunch box? Eighty cents, no ticket required!" said the conductor.
"No need, we brought our own food, thank you!" said Xu Jianguo.
"Okay!" said the conductor, and then pushed the cart towards the next compartment.
