After closing the door again, Xu Jianguo checked the time and found that it was almost noon, so he said, "You two must be hungry, how about we have lunch too?"
"Okay, let's eat!" Su Dingshan nodded.
"Yes, I've been hungry for a long time!" Wu Tianlong also spoke up, and then he jumped down from the upper bunk nimbly. His series of actions made Xu Jianguo's eyelids twitch.
While the two were sleeping, Xu Jianguo had already thrown the things he bought in the waiting hall that morning into the space. The main reason was that he was worried that someone would tamper with the food and he had to be careful.
He asked Du Yu to make all the food, and bought the liquor through the system mall.
He took the two old men shopping with him in the morning just to have a chance to switch the food. Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare to just buy and eat the lunch boxes on the train.
Xu Jianguo opened several paper packages on the small table, and immediately the aroma of fried peanuts, fried broad beans and donkey meat filled the bedroom.
Wu Tianlong swallowed, unscrewed the two bottles of wine, and handed one to Su Dingshan.
Since there were no cups, the two of them could only drink directly from the bottle.
A bite of peanuts, a bite of broad beans, and a sip of white wine, how comfortable!
Xu Jianguo still didn't drink, but just picked up a donkey meat BBQ and started eating.
"Well, although I have no worries about food and drink in the nursing home, I always feel that it is not enjoyable. It is still fun to be with you. It reminds me of the time when we were on the battlefield." Wu Tianlong took a sip of wine and spoke, his eyes full of nostalgia.
"Hey, you, a big rough guy, have learned to speak in fancy words now? But what you said really hits the nail on the head. If our old friends were still here, it would be so lively now!" Su Dingshan said with some emotion.
Xu Jianguo did not interrupt, but just sat aside and listened quietly.
Knowing that the situation was special, the two did not drink too much. After one of them drank about a liter of white wine, he screwed the bottle cap back on and put it aside. Then one of them picked up a donkey meat hot pot and started eating.
Not long after the three of them had finished their meal, the train began to slow down, and Xu Jianguo knew that it was about to stop again.
Sure enough, five minutes later the train stopped next to a platform. Xu Jianguo lifted a corner of the curtain and took a look, and found that this was Sui County, a small county under Jinzhou City, Liaodong Province.
After lowering the curtains, Wu Tianlong asked, "Jianguo, where are you?"
"We've arrived in Sui County, but it's still far from Ice City!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
Wu Tianlong nodded without saying anything, but pulled out his bag from under the bunk, and soon found a radio from it.
Xu Jianguo's eyes widened as he saw it and he asked, "Grandpa Wu, why are you carrying this thing? I mean, your bag is so heavy!"
"You know shit. My radio is a Russian product and uses dry batteries. Wouldn't it be a pity to throw it away?" Wu Tianlong said unhappily.
Xu Jianguo curled his lips, said nothing, and just gave him a thumbs up.
Just as the two were talking, the voice of the conductor came from the corridor outside the compartment. Xu Jianguo opened the Eye of Time and Space reflexively, but after just one glance, his brows furrowed.
The two old men had been soldiers for many years and immediately noticed that something was wrong with Xu Jianguo's expression. Su Dingshan asked in a low voice, "Jianguo, what's wrong?"
Xu Jianguo couldn't tell them directly what he saw, so he said, "Three people came outside. One of them is a train conductor, and the other two are not ordinary people."
"How do you know?" Wu Tianlong asked.
"From what I could tell, the footsteps of those two men were different from those of ordinary people. They must have received professional military training. When soldiers walk, aside from their pace and speed being much faster than ordinary people, their frequency of movement remains essentially unchanged."
After listening to him, the two nodded in unison, agreeing with what he said.
"So do you think there's something wrong with them?" Su Dingshan continued to ask.
There must be a problem, and it's a big problem, but he can't say it clearly, so he said: "We don't know yet, let's wait and see!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you! But we have to make three rules!" Su Dingshan thought for a while and said.
Xu Jianguo was stunned and asked, "Grandpa, what are these three rules?"
"If someone really wants to attack us on the road, you must promise me to prioritize your own safety!"
"Your Grandpa Su is right. You are still young and there is no need for you to risk your life for us two old men. We have lived enough, so you must ensure your own safety first in everything. Do you hear me?" Wu Tianlong also spoke.
After the two men finished speaking, they looked at Xu Jianguo, only to see him shaking his head like a rattle. This made the two old men very angry, and they were about to raise their hands to teach him a lesson.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo immediately said with a smile, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I have my own arrangements, I promise everything will be fine! Besides, Grandpa Wu, you just said that you have lived a fulfilling life. I don't agree with that. I reserve my opinion!"
"Hey, brat, you still have reservations? Do you believe I'll spank you?"
Xu Jianguo didn't hide either, but just laughed foolishly, and the tense atmosphere in the bedroom relaxed a lot.
What they didn't know was that while Xu Jianguo was speaking, his Eyes of Time and Space had never closed. His eyes were still fixed on the two people until they walked into a bedroom, then he looked away.
The compartment where the two men were was only one room away from the compartment where Xu Jianguo and the other two were. Just now, after hearing the conductor's voice, he used the Eye of Time and Space to look outside the door. The reason he frowned was because he saw the familiar dagger on the waists of the two men. In addition, each of them carried two pistols under their left and right armpits.
After retracting his gaze, Xu Jianguo thought for a moment, then took out his service pistol and the pistol that Chen Jin had given him from his waist.
After checking the bullets and removing the safety of the pistol, he handed them to the two old men.
"What do you mean, kid?" Su Dingshan took the pistol and asked.
"Yes, if you give us two guns, what will you use them for?" Wu Tianlong also asked.
Xu Jianguo smiled, reached out and pulled up his trouser leg, pulled out the pistol dagger tied to his calf, then opened the back cover in front of the two men and loaded four bullets into it.
Wu Tianlong had been in the nursing home for many years and had never seen this thing before. He couldn't help but stare at it with wide eyes and said, "Boy, where did you get this thing? It can even fire bullets?"
Su Dingshan rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're ignorant, aren't you? This guy invented this thing. Many soldiers on the battlefields of Western Xinjiang relied on this dagger to save their lives!"
"Oh my god, is it so magical? You are really amazing. When we get there, you must let me try it!" Wu Tianlong said eagerly.
"You are such a loser. The pistol in your hand was also designed by Jianguo. When we get there, just go find Da Changlian and ask him to arrange it for you!" Su Dingshan said.
"Hahaha, okay, if Big Long Face dares not arrange it for me, I will beat him up!" Wu Tianlong said with a big laugh.
