the next day.
When Qiao Yuan came out of seclusion and was about to return home, he noticed something.
I was in seclusion for cultivation before, and I forgot the time, so I didn’t even realize that the New Year was approaching.
In this world, the Chinese New Year is equally important. Just like in the previous life, transportation and other aspects are very tight during the Spring Festival, and there is also the potential danger of alien spirits.
The more people there are, the more problems there are. Both the waterways and the railways are not peaceful. There are even several news reports of strange incidents happening around the railways. For this reason, a large number of patrols have been deployed to provide escort.
Therefore, railway tickets, which currently have a relatively high safety factor, cannot be obtained through normal means.
However, the special energy value of Guimen is not enough to directly descend into the room.
So Qiao Yuan planned to use the back door and called Bai Jin, asking him to find a way to get a ticket. The other party agreed immediately... Everything went smoothly, but in the end the problem arose from his own cunning knife.
The railway has clear regulations that prohibited the carrying of controlled knives, so Qiao Yuan's strange knife needed to be checked in.
I didn't agree to this matter. Thinking of the incident where Senior Bai's express delivery was lost, the alarm bells were ringing!
He even dares to steal the express delivery of a seventh-level awakener, so there is no need for me to take such a gamble.
If someone were to notice the extraordinary nature of his sword and secretly swap it, it would be very troublesome to deal with.
On the phone, Bai Jin proposed another idea. Could he take a private plane? He would charter one for him and provide a special escort.
This is a bit too high-profile, and the air is not absolutely safe. After thinking about it, there is nothing urgent recently, so Qiao Yuan asked Bai Jin to get a bus ticket.
I happened to check online and found that the bus to Liyang City will stop in Qin City on the way, so I can go there to pay tribute to my deceased parents.
…
The next morning, Qiao Yuan packed his things and rushed to the station. He found the staff who was supposed to meet him at the door. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.
"Thank you for your hard work and trouble." Qiao Yuan immediately prepared to hand over the ticket money to the other party.
It is now the peak season for tickets before the Spring Festival, and they are already sold out. For these busy grassroots workers, it is really hard work to have them come and deliver the tickets to themselves in person.
"Leader, you are too polite. Our train tickets can be reimbursed." The older staff member quickly refused, saying that he did not dare to take money from such a big shot as Qiao Yuan.
"There are a lot of people this year." Qiao Yuan said casually as he looked at the crowds outside the station.
"Yes, alas... I heard that several routes have been blocked due to supernatural incidents. This period of time is already very stressful..."
"Even if all patrols from the Security Bureau are dispatched, there is no guarantee that an awakened person can be assigned to every route..." the staff member sighed.
Looking into the distance, I saw a bustling crowd at the station entrance, with dense crowds filling the surrounding area.
…
"Brother, brother, do you want some tickets? There are patrolmen following the team, so the safety factor is guaranteed!" A scalper whispered, covering his cross-body bag.
"Is this true? Anyone been to ×× City? Give me two!"
"Yes, one thousand per piece!"
"What? This isn't a short trip. The official price is only 500. Do you have any shame?"
"Brother, we're also working hard to earn our money. Do you know how long I waited in line to get the ticket? I charged you 500 because you're from the same hometown. If it were someone else, I would charge him at least 2,000!"
In the end, the man returning home gritted his teeth and bought two tickets.
The scalper then continued to look for other targets, not worrying at all about not being able to sell the tickets.
"Friend, friend, do you want some money?"
"What a coincidence, we are from the same hometown, I'll give you a discount..."
"Friend, are you leaving ×× City? Let's rent a Hunter Awakener together and share the rent..."
"Learn about life accident insurance..."
“…”
…
As his mental power spread, Qiao Yuan looked at the people around him struggling for a living, while listening to the staff member talk about the lives of those at the bottom of society.
"The Security Bureau has issued an order encouraging those who have awakened to escort ordinary people back home on a hired basis..."
"But even so, safety cannot be guaranteed."
At this point, the staff member looked at the time and said, "Leader, if there is nothing else, I will go back to work first. We are a little short-staffed over there."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Everything will be fine." Qiao Yuan patted the staff member on the shoulder.
It was still early for the train to depart, so Qiao Yuan, who had just finished his breakfast, started strolling around the station. He had originally planned to buy some local specialties and give them to Li Xiaoling and Sister Li when he got home, but after searching online, the unanimous comments from netizens made him give up the idea.
Except for the cars, everything else in the station is fake!
…
"Take a look, take a look. This ancestral medicinal wine is guaranteed to work. You don't have to wait in line at the hospital, and you don't have to bother with a urine test. It can heal injuries, nourish yin and yang, invigorate blood circulation and relieve pain, and even prolong life... It can cure everything..."
An old man who looked sloppy, wearing thin cloth clothes and with a goatee on his mouth, was driving a tricycle and shouting near the station.
Upon closer inspection, it was winter and this guy was riding a tricycle wearing only a pair of plastic slippers. He also looked to be in his seventies or eighties, which immediately attracted a lot of people.
Everyone thought he was just another swindler, until the slovenly old man performed twenty or so backflips in public, which immediately impressed everyone.
They paid money and asked to buy it.
"Everyone, this is made with a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors. Not only can it strengthen your bones and muscles, it can also treat various internal and external injuries, even cancer. As long as you still have a breath, I can save you!"
