Chapter 51 Confrontation on the Train
51
Tang Shengkai hardly slept the rest of the night, and from time to time he would glance at the backpack behind him.
The two thieves walked back and forth several times, but had no chance to make a move, so they could only return to their seats in disappointment.
However, they kept this grudge in their hearts. Tang Yue had been asleep, but her consciousness was always outward, and she knew almost everything that was going on in the entire carriage.
When it was just getting light, there were rustling sounds in the carriage.
Some people brushed their teeth and washed their faces, then took out the dry food they had prepared long ago and started eating.
The young men who were in charge of guarding the people on the opposite side also rushed past them, and walked past them nonchalantly. After pausing to look at them a few times, they turned around and left when they found nothing.
After a while, he came over with a rag bag and threw it on the small table where they were sitting.
"Eat breakfast. I don't know what the country is thinking. People like you are worthy of eating? Ha!"
The few of them were silent. After the young man left, Lu Zhanheng, who had been coughing last night, reached out and untied the cloth bag, revealing several hard corn cakes inside.
Tang Yue looked over curiously and curled her lips. "That pancake is nowhere near as good as her mother's. It's all fuzzy, black and hard, and the dough is so thick. I don't know how I can swallow it."
Old Li and Tang Shengkai took turns taking the children to wash up. After washing, they took a few bowls of hot water, took out steamed buns and started eating.
While everyone was not paying attention, Tang Yue handed over a few more steamed buns and smiled at Lu Zhanheng.
Lu Zhanheng was very surprised that this little girl actually knew what happened last night. He just glanced at Tang Yue with a cold face and no reaction.
Tang Yue didn't care and went back to continue eating.
The man who cursed yesterday was snoring loudly that night and was in very good spirits.
When he went to the toilet, the two thieves from last night saw him. They looked at each other, stood up and followed the man into the toilet.
Tang Yue was too lazy to find out what they were doing in the bathroom, but she figured it probably wasn't anything good.
Sure enough, after that person came out, he walked up to Lu Zhanheng and the others and started shouting.
"Wow! The country is really kind these days. It's so kind to take care of you stinking old ninths that it even lets you take the train to the cowshed.
In my opinion, you should just walk there. Didn't corrupt officials in the past walk to Ningguta? What's so special about you? You're asking the state to treat you differently.
No one from Lu Zhanheng and the others said anything. The man was cursing with great boredom, but since he had accepted money from the two thieves, he naturally had to work harder.
"What? Are you pretending to be a quail now? What were you doing before? Weren't you arrogant when you were oppressing and exploiting the hard-earned money of us ordinary people?
Hey~ Everyone come and take a look, there are quite a few stinky old nines sitting in our carriage.
Have you ever been destroyed by the stinking old nine? Come, let's take revenge and complain.
"Everything these people eat, drink, and wear is made with the hard-earned money of ordinary people. They are worse than the capitalists. Come on, everyone, get on with it and kill these guys."
There were indeed some people who were ready to make a move, but after thinking it over for a while, they all sat down again. Some people were disgusted with the man's behavior and opened their mouths but ultimately said nothing.
That's just how it is these days. If they start talking, there's no telling what kind of trouble will ensue. But they'll be getting off the bus soon, so it's better to avoid trouble than to worry about it. Many people don't want to get involved.
Tang Yue was in a very bad mood. These people not only disturbed her riding experience, but also made her feel that they were uncultured.
"What's going on with you guys? This stinky old nine is even in the same carriage with us. What's going on? We should work together to kick them out, don't you agree?"
With a "slap", the man slapped himself as he spoke.
Now everyone in the car was curious. How could this guy be so arrogant and slap himself?
The man himself was dumbfounded. He stared at his hand in disbelief. What was going on? He'd just felt an itch on his face and wanted to slap it gently, but for some reason, he'd used so much force.
He rubbed his face which was a little swollen from being hit, but he didn't care. Maybe he was a little angry when he spoke just now and didn't pay attention to the strength.
However, the tasks assigned to him by the two men had not been completed yet, and he had to continue.
He slapped himself for no reason, which made him even more upset. He leaned over and pushed Lu Zhanheng.
Lu Zhanheng kept his head down throughout the whole process, but he sat very straight, with only his head drooping.
After being pushed hard by the man, he was caught off guard and was pushed backwards.
Lu Zhanheng sat up straight and suddenly felt a little uneasy. He had never been treated like this before. He was not an enemy, not an invader. He had sacrificed his life for China, and all his military achievements were earned at the cost of his life. How dare these people?
But this man did just that. He took two deep breaths and thought about his family. Lu Zhanheng didn't say the last word. He was ready to swallow his anger.
Lu Yong really felt that he was so proud now. In the past, he would have to kowtow when he saw these people, but at this moment, he bullied them so much that these people didn't dare to fart.
Lu Yong became even bolder. A wicked smile curled up his lips, and he reached out and knocked the pancakes out of the hands of several people to the ground. Suddenly, several people stood up.
They stared at Lu Yong angrily. Lu Yong was shocked by their momentum, but he reacted quickly. He straightened his back, put his hands on his hips, and pushed his chest forward.
"What are you glaring at me for, huh? You think I'm afraid of you? Are you guys acting so arrogant?"
Lu Zhanheng's fists clenched until they made a crackling sound. Qian Ming beside him pulled him and shook his head slightly. He turned to look at Lu Yong. "Comrade, if we make any mistakes, the country will punish us. It doesn't matter if you don't like us.
"But you shouldn't waste food. These grains were all grown by the common people, one by one. It's not good for you to waste them like this."
"You stinky old man, you dare to put a hat on me, I will..."
Lu Yong was very angry and stretched out his hand to hit Qian Ming on the head. He raised his hand high, but before it fell on Qian Ming's head, for some reason it turned around and hit his own head hard.
With a "bang", Lu Yong felt dizzy. The pain from his head made him unstable. He staggered a few steps and fell to the aisle with a "thump".
It was as if someone had knocked him down from under his feet, and someone else had pushed him hard from behind. Lu Yong's body was thrown forward a long way, some distance away from Tang Yue and the others.
Lu Yong let out a howl like a butchered pig, followed by a continuous "Ouch, ouch!" Lu Zhanheng and Qian Ming were stunned, looking at each other. None of them made a move; this seemed quite strange.
But the man was now quite far away from them, so it became a little quieter here and they sat back in their seats.
Qian Ming picked up the pancakes on the ground, broke off the dirty parts and handed them to a few people, who continued to eat.
Just when Lu Yong was making trouble here, a small incident happened on Tang Yue's side.
The two thieves gave Lu Yong money to find trouble with those stinky old nines, focusing the attention of the entire carriage here. The two thieves thought that someone would stand up and come here to watch the fun.
However, they did not expect that the people in this carriage were so timid that no one dared to come over to watch the fun.
This hindered their next move, but the arrow had to be shot.
It's already this late, and we'll be in Beijing in two more hours. It will be even more inconvenient once we get off the bus.
So when Lu Yong attacked Qian Ming, the two thieves took advantage of the crowd's attention being focused on them and reached out to the two backpacks behind them.
On the surface, Tang Yue seemed to be watching the excitement on the opposite side, but her consciousness was always paying attention to the two thieves.
Seeing their hands reaching for the backpacks, which happened to contain a number of pistols, Tang Yue's finger energy transformed into flying needles and shot them directly at the two men. Their arms were instantly pierced with excruciating pain.
