Xu Zhaodi asked, "Do you remember it now?"
"Remember, you just want to introduce her to someone?
"Yes, that's her."
"I'll find out for you when I come back."
"Then I'll wait for your good news."
The car set off and the two men went all the way to the provincial capital.
Chen Jianguo bought tickets for that afternoon and the two of them boarded the train.
There were a lot of people on the bus. They bought their tickets at the departure station and were able to buy seat tickets.
As soon as they got on the bus, Chen Jianguo asked Xu Zhaodi to sit by the window, and he sat in the middle, protecting her well.
The train stopped several times along the way, and many people got on and off, making the train extremely noisy.
People playing cards, eating melon seeds, and telling stories really did feel like Chinese New Year.
As night falls, the crowded carriages make those returning home drowsy.
There was no air circulation in the car and Xu Zhaodi felt a severe headache. When the car stopped at the next station, she found an opportunity to get off the car, take a walk and breathe some fresh air. Chen Jianguo followed her.
When the train started again, she sat back on the train and perked up.
Xu Zhaodi discovered that Chen Jianguo had been very alert since he got on the car.
She whispered, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, just close your eyes and get some sleep."
"I can't sleep right now."
"Then eat something."
Xu Zhaodi didn't wash her hands along the way and always felt that her hands were full of germs, but she hadn't eaten since she got on the bus, so she was really a little hungry at the moment.
Chen Jianguo knew what she was worried about, and when he opened the oil paper package, he tore off a piece of oil paper to wrap the buns.
"Eat it."
The smile on Xu Zhaodi's face was faintly visible at the corners of her lips, like a jasmine in spring, with a faint brightness and as warm as the spring breeze.
She took the bun and ate it in small bites.
Before he finished eating a bun, a woman not far away cried out and started to cry loudly.
"Oh, my money, who stole my money? My man paid for it with his life. I beg you, please give it back to me."
The woman cried miserably, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked towards the woman.
Someone whispered, "What's going on?"
"It seems like the money was stolen."
Xu Zhaodi slowed down her eating of the buns, and the woman knelt down in the narrow aisle on the spot.
"Please, can you give it back to me?
My husband went to a frontier mine with a letter of introduction a few years ago. He was buried there a few months ago, and in the end even his body was never found.
Since we haven't found the body, we can't conclude that they are dead. The mine gave us orphans and widows a few dollars in subsidies.
I have two elderly parents and three young children. This money is life-saving money for our family of six.
You stole the money. How can we live? I might as well die."
As the woman spoke, she stood up from the ground and rushed towards the carriage. Fortunately, she was caught by two men nearby.
"His aunt, don't get excited. There are too many people in the car. Think about it carefully. Maybe you just can't find it somewhere."
The woman's cheeks were thin and her face was full of tears. Her clothes were patched and her hair was messy. The toes of her shoes were sticking out. She looked very haggard.
She choked up and said, "It's impossible. The money was just in my bag. I was holding on to my bag tightly. In the blink of an eye, the money was gone."
When Xu Zhaodi saw her like this, she couldn't eat for some reason.
Women are so pitiful these days.
She pursed her lips and glanced at Chen Jianguo secretly.
Chen Jianguo frowned, his sharp eyes fixed on a big man who was walking slowly towards him not far ahead.
The man had a scar at the corner of his eyebrow that extended all the way to his cheek. His dark eyes were fierce and he didn't look like a good person.
Chen Jianguo had received rigorous training and had a sharp mind. Xu Zhaodi was just about to ask him if he had seen anyone suspicious.
When the man with the scar passed by Chen Jianguo, he stretched out his foot and the man with the scar tripped and fell to the ground.
The scarred man looked quite capable. He supported himself on the train floor with one hand and grabbed a seat beside him with the other. He quickly stood up and punched Chen Jianguo in the face.
Chen Jianguo sat there without moving, and Xu Zhaodi felt a tightness in her heart when she saw this.
Seeing that the fist was about to hit Chen Jianguo in the face, he calmly reached out his hand, grasped the fist that was swinging towards him, and clenched it until it made a crackling sound.
The scarred man grimaced in pain.
Chen Jianguo kicked the scarred man in the stomach, and the man fell to the ground in the aisle and didn't get up for a long time.
The flight attendant came over and blew a whistle, but Chen Jianguo ignored them. He bent down and reached out to tug at the sleeve of the scarred man, but the scarred man held on to his sleeve tightly and refused to let him be touched.
Chen Jianguo frowned, grabbed his fingers and twisted them hard. The scarred man screamed in pain, but finally let go.
Chen Jianguo pulled out a wrapped handkerchief from his sleeve and said to the woman not far away, "Stop crying. Here's your money."
The woman was also stunned. She staggered over quickly, took the handkerchief from Chen Jianguo's hand with both hands, looked at it, put the handkerchief to her heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much
I kneel down for you."
The woman had tears in her eyes and knelt down when told to do so.
Chen Jianguo said: "No, no, no, this is a small matter.
You should pack the money quickly."
Chen Jianguo stood beside Xu Zhaodi and winked at her. When the woman was about to kneel down, Xu Zhaodi held her up.
"Sister, please don't be like this. This is your life-saving money. Getting it back is better than anything else."
The woman sniffed, pursed her lips and couldn't speak.
She went out the other day and met a noble person.
"I am really grateful to you for getting the money back."
Chen Jianguo said: "It's something that comes naturally, so I'll help if I can."
The flight attendant beside him said seriously, "What happened here?"
The woman wiped away her tears with her sleeves and explained, "My money was stolen just now, and this gentleman helped me get it back."
While the woman was speaking, the scarred man beside her had quietly climbed up from the ground.
The duck that was about to be in his mouth was about to fly away, and he stared at Chen Jianguo fiercely.
It seems that this man is very nervous about the woman behind him.
The scarred man pulled out a small knife from his hat and stabbed the tip of the knife towards Xu Zhaodi's neck with lightning speed.
Xu Zhaodi only felt a gust of wind beside her ears. She turned her head slightly, and the scarred man stabbed towards her with the knife in his hand.
When the tip of the knife was two centimeters away from her neck, Xu Zhaodi's pupils contracted instantly. Suddenly, a wrist appeared around her waist, holding her waist and pulling her behind him.
The next second, Chen Jianguo stood still and raised one foot, kicking the scarred man away. His body hit the carriage and he fell to the ground with a bang, groaning in pain.
Soon, two more flight attendants came and immediately subdued the man with the scar.
The people watching the excitement in the carriage were stunned. When they reacted, some of them stood up and clapped excitedly, and others followed suit.
Chen Jianguo had a calm face, but Xu Zhaodi's mind was still buzzing.
