Upon hearing this news, the passengers in the carriage began to discuss it amongst themselves. Some began to worry about their journey, while others were concerned about safety.
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun breathed a sigh of relief. Having a concrete reason made things easier; it was just a matter of time. Their worst fear was that the train was genuinely broken down and beyond repair—that would be the most troublesome situation.
As time went on, it became completely dark. The train stopped in the wilderness, surrounded by darkness, with only the train's emergency lights flashing incessantly.
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun sat on the bed, Gu Nianqing already asleep peacefully in Gu Nanxun's arms. Lin Qing quietly gazed out the window, then immersed her thoughts in her spatial dimension. Her friends in the interdimensional group were chatting happily, but Lin Qing didn't join in, just silently watching from the sidelines.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Nanxun pinched Lin Qing's cheek and asked with a smile.
Lin Qing shook her head, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Nanxun, do you think Mom and Dad know that we were abandoned halfway through our journey?"
Gu Nanxun reached out and ruffled Lin Qing's hair, saying with a smile, "We might not know. Train rescue teams should first call on the place closest to here, but that's not necessarily true. If Mom and Dad are paying attention to this train, they might be able to find out some information about it."
At this moment, the atmosphere at the Chen family residence in Beijing was solemn.
"Don't worry too much, everyone. The troops are working hard to clear the obstacles. Once the obstacles are cleared, the train will be able to run normally."
Chen Zhihua rubbed his forehead and comforted him, saying that he had called a comrade-in-arms today and heard his comrade-in-arms tell him that a train was stuck in the middle of the road and needed help. His comrade-in-arms' younger brother happened to work in the relevant department and was nearby when he received the notification. Therefore, his comrade-in-arms found out about the matter and told him about it. Chen Zhihua immediately felt that something was wrong, so he asked his comrade-in-arms in detail and confirmed that it was indeed the train that his fourth brother was on.
After receiving the news, Chen Zhihua immediately informed his family.
"I'm just worried that the child will be frightened!"
Hearing Chen Zhihua's words of comfort, Grandma Liu Xiuyun suddenly spoke.
"Ah, don't worry! That kid is very bold. I'm the one who's worried. Qingqing is scared!"
Zhao Xuan patted Liu Xiuyun's hand and said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianjun raised an eyebrow. "You don't need to worry about Lin Qing at all. That girl is incredibly brave. She'll even rush to help strangers who have been shot." After saying that, Chen Jianjun glanced at Chen Tianming.
Chen Tianming, having received his elder brother's hint, quickly replied, "Yes, that's right, elder brother is right. I was shot and passed out on the mountain, and it was Lin Qing who saved me."
"Chen Tianming, you didn't tell me you were injured before!"
Upon hearing Chen Tianming's words, Hu Ying suddenly asked loudly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianming scratched his nose guiltily, "Didn't I say that? I thought I had."
"Alright, everyone, don't worry anymore. It seems that Xiao Si's family is quite bold. Let's just wait patiently. Zhihua, talk to your comrades and see if you can send them some supplies."
After listening to everyone's words, Chen Guozhong tapped his eye bags and said calmly. He couldn't let the children know that he had been extremely nervous just now.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I've made all the arrangements!" Chen Zhihua said with a sigh of relief. The atmosphere just now was absolutely terrifying.
As time passed, the passengers on the train gradually calmed down and began to help each other, facing the unexpected event together. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun also joined in helping others, conveying warmth and hope through their actions.
"Excuse me, who is Gu Nanxun?"
The next morning, Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing had just finished breakfast when they heard a young soldier loudly asking a question at the front of the carriage.
Gu Nanxun stood up, stepped out of bed, and loudly replied, "I am Gu Nanxun. May I ask what business you have with me, comrade?"
Upon hearing this, the young man was delighted and quickly walked over to Gu Nanxun, then handed him a package.
"Comrade, this is something your elder brother asked his comrade to deliver to you!"
Gu Nanxun was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then reached out and took the package, saying to the young man, "Thank you, comrade. Please convey my gratitude to you."
"Okay, Comrade Gu, don't worry, I'll pass on the message for you." After saying that, the young comrade paused for a moment and then said, "Comrade Gu, please wait here for a little while longer, the train will be departing soon."
After saying this, the young comrade saluted Gu Nanxun and then quickly ran out of the carriage, ignoring the questions from the crowd behind him.
Seeing that the young comrade had run away, the passengers in the carriage could only ask Gu Nanxun for answers.
"Comrade, what did that young man mean just now? Did he mean the train will be ready soon?"
Gu Nanxun nodded. "That should be the idea. I guess the external obstacles are almost resolved."
After Gu Nanxun finished speaking, he nodded to the passengers in the carriage, then returned to his bunk and handed the package in his hand to Lin Qing.
After Lin Qing took the bundle, she opened it and found some food and water, a can of baby formula, and a few warm clothes inside.
Lin Qing took out a coat and looked at it, then said softly, "It seems your older brother is quite thoughtful; he even prepared warm clothes for you."
Gu Nanxun nodded.
Just then, the train's public address system sounded again, bringing new information: "Dear passengers, we are pleased to inform you that the rescue team will soon have cleared the obstruction, and the train may depart at any time. Please return to your seats to avoid any inconvenience caused by the train's departure. Thank you for your support of this train service."
Upon hearing the news, the atmosphere in the carriage noticeably lightened. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun exchanged a smile; they knew that despite the difficulties, nothing was impossible as long as they united. They held each other's hands tightly, their hearts filled with hope and confidence for the future.
The two continued chatting for a while, and then the train slowly started moving. A cheer erupted in the carriage, and joy returned to the faces of the passengers.
As the train moved further and further away, Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing gazed out the window, their thoughts gradually drifting away to the distant city of Beijing.
