Chapter 21: On the way to the countryside (Part 3)
Time is the most difficult to bear when you are on the bus. If I hadn’t come across it before, I could play with my phone or watch movies. But in this day and age, there is nothing you want.
Lu Xiaoxiao had slept before lunch, and now she couldn't fall asleep even if she wanted to. She wanted to talk to someone but there was no one she knew. So what could she do now? She could only stare blankly.
According to the current train speed, it will take two days and one night to reach Harbin. The destination she is going to is a production brigade in a village under a county under Harbin. She will get off the train tomorrow evening and will probably have to stay in the city for one night before reaching the destination the next day.
Zhang De said that Uncle Wang would pick her up when she got off the train and then take her to the production team. In this case, she could only see Uncle Wang first and then decide what to do next. She didn't know if this man was as good as Zhang De said. She was afraid that time, like a butcher's knife, would change a person beyond recognition!
After what happened at noon, no one made trouble during dinner and everyone ate quietly. Lu Xiaoxiao asked the lady in charge to help her look after her luggage while she took the enamel cup to fill it with water and went to the toilet.
Lu Xiaoxiao almost fainted from the suffocation when she entered the toilet. She immediately held her breath to feel better. It’s not that she was being pretentious, but there were many people on long-distance trains, and the facilities nowadays were not as developed as those in later generations, so one can imagine what the environment was like.
Lu Xiaoxiao closed the door and immediately slipped into the space. After entering the space, she felt like she was alive again.
She went to the bathroom to use the toilet and took a quick shower and changed her underwear. She was used to taking a shower every day and felt uncomfortable if she didn't take a day. Fortunately, she was in the space for one day outside per month, so even if she took a shower and went out, she would only be outside for a short while.
After taking a shower, Lu Xiaoxiao drank a glass of water and left the space. As soon as she left the space, she immediately left the bathroom. She went to the water dispenser, got a glass of water and walked to her seat.
After thanking the elder sister, Lu Xiaoxiao sat down and drank some water. She saw that many people were planning to go to bed after dinner, so she also planned to go to bed after drinking some water.
In the middle of the night, someone suddenly shouted, "Catch thief, catch thief!" Lu Xiaoxiao was also awakened by the shout. She saw a person wrapped tightly running past her, followed closely by a middle-aged woman. Suddenly, a young man ran out from behind the woman, quickly overtook the woman and chased after her.
Lu Xiaoxiao felt that the boy looked so familiar. She kept thinking and finally figured it out. Wasn't he the boy with a face injury under the tree? She gave him two candies at that time. She didn't expect that the boy would become a handsome boy after his injury healed. She almost didn't recognize him.
Soon the eldest sister came over and asked everyone to check if any of their things were missing. Lu Xiaoxiao's important things were all in the space. Outside, apart from some food, there was a cup and some clothes. Seeing everyone checking carefully, she also opened her backpack and looked through it.
After a few minutes, everyone said that nothing was lost, and the eldest sister breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing was lost, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble later. She wanted the journey to be smoother!
About an hour later, someone was heard saying that the thief had been caught. Lu Xiaoxiao saw that the people in the carriage were obviously relieved after hearing the news. However, she noticed that the people in the carriage did not intend to continue sleeping. They were all watching their belongings carefully, for fear that another thief would come.
Lu Xiaoxiao waited for a while but didn't see the boy come back. After such a while, she felt sleepy and tired, and fell asleep in a daze.
Lu Xiaoxiao guessed that those people would think in their hearts that this girl was so careless when seeing her like this. Hey, if Lu Xiaoxiao was awake at this moment, she would definitely say that you all took it so seriously, unless the thief was stupid, he would never dare to come and steal.
