It was around five o'clock in the afternoon, probably because all the people going to the countryside had arrived, and the special train started to depart.
People going to Shaanxi and those going to Inner Mongolia took the same train, and it was already past ten o'clock the next morning when they got on the train.
Sitting in the seat and feeling that the car was moving, Li Chen asked two men to watch with him, and the rest of them took a rest first.
Since people didn't get much rest that night, the originally noisy carriage soon became quiet.
Li Chen was observing the movements around him while paying attention to the time on his watch.
Six hours later, he woke up the four older men, and then he and the other two closed their eyes and rested.
He didn't know how long it had been before a sound woke him up. He looked at the time and found that another seven hours had passed.
He yawned loudly, then asked his friends, "Is everything okay?"
"No." Everyone responded.
"That's fine." Then Li Chen stood up and walked towards the toilet, urinated happily, and got a pot of hot water. Then he returned to his seat, took out steamed buns and salted eggs and started eating.
Although the steamed buns are cold, it’s good enough to have a drink of hot water at this moment. Why bother with so many other things?
After eating eight steamed buns in one go, he stopped and sighed, "I don't know how many days it will take to get there."
Hearing this, Liu Yunxiao asked with a smile on his face, "Brother Chen, are you worried that the steamed buns you brought won't be enough?"
Li Chen didn't answer, but asked in surprise, "You were so sad before, why are you smiling so happily now?"
"I've come to terms with it," Liu Yunxiao said, his expression bright and clear. "A day of worry is a day of joy, and a day of happiness is a day of sorrow. No one knows how long we'll be staying in the countryside. If I worry every day, I'll probably die of worry. So, I might as well live happily every day."
Li Chen didn't expect that he would have this awareness, but he didn't know how long this awareness could last.
After thinking about it, I decided it would be better not to discourage him, so I continued the previous topic, "The steamed buns are not enough, there are other things to fill my stomach. I just feel that rushing is too tiring, and I want to get to the destination earlier."
It is now November in the lunar calendar and the weather is quite cold. In this case, steamed buns can only be kept for three or four days.
Sun Xiu thought that it took Li Mei just over a day to go to college, so she thought four days was enough to go to Zichang County. So she prepared a lot of things for Li Chen the night before, but no pastries.
But later Li Xu thought about this matter and thought that it would be better to be prepared, so he put several pounds of pastries in his home into Li Chen's sack.
In this way, even if the journey takes a long time, Li Chen basically doesn't have to worry about food.
Liu Yunxiao smacked his lips and agreed, "Yes, traveling is tiring, especially yesterday's car ride. Not only was my body shaken to pieces, but I also vomited a lot."
Then he gestured to Li Chen to look at a girl across from him and whispered, "Brother Chen, from yesterday till now I've only seen her eat two steamed buns. Do you think she can make it to the place?"
This girl didn't stay in a group with anyone. She didn't even dare to sleep at the city railway station yesterday. She could only force herself to stay awake, and her eyes were red from staying up all night.
Li Chen and others couldn't bear to see this and said they would keep an eye on her so that she could sleep without worry.
I don’t know what this girl was thinking. After saying thank you, she really fell asleep. After getting on the train, she also followed Li Chen and his group silently.
During this period, there was no communication between the two sides.
Li Chen didn't expect Liu Yunxiao to be paying attention to her all the time, even knowing how much she had eaten. So he asked with a strange look on his face, "Why are you so concerned about me?"
"It's not concern, it's curiosity."
"Curious?" Li Chen was speechless. "Are you curious about why she didn't join others, or why she only ate so little?"
“Both.”
"Why don't you take some steamed buns and go over to talk to her?"
Li Chen said this to tease him, but he didn't expect Liu Yunxiao to actually take out six steamed buns and happily go over.
The person next to that girl was Hu Guilan's third sister, Hu Xiuling. Liu Yunxiao said he wanted to switch seats with her, and she naturally had no objection.
Some people noticed this scene, but didn't take it seriously.
Because no one thought that Liu Yunxiao was looking for a girl to chat with.
It was not until he spoke a few words to the girl that someone noticed something was wrong and looked at them straight.
Then everyone fell silent and focused their attention on the two of them.
Seeing this, Li Chen frowned and said, "What's so good about it? Turn your head away."
As the leader appointed by the elders, his words were still quite useful, so everyone turned their heads away and stopped looking at Liu Yunxiao and the others.
But their ears were perked up, trying to hear what the two were talking about.
Liu Yunxiao understood their thoughts very well and did not give them any chance at all. He lowered his voice very low so that only the girl could hear it.
In response to his words, the girl pursed her lips and said nothing at first, but then, after hearing something, she actually took the steamed bun and ate it on the spot.
Then she got up and left for a while, and when she came back again, she actually opened her mouth to speak.
Of course, her voice was also extremely soft, making it difficult for outsiders to hear.
In this way, the two chatted for more than an hour before Liu Yunxiao returned to Li Chen's side.
As soon as he sat down, he asked mysteriously, "Brother Chen, do you know where that girl is going?"
Li Chen glanced at him and said lightly, "Zichang County."
Liu Yunxiao was stunned. "Did you hear our conversation?"
