Instantly, an atmosphere of awkwardness filled the entire carriage.
The person who made the sarcastic remark almost popped their eyes out of their sockets.
Isn't it said that country bumpkins are easy to bully? How come this is completely different from the rumors?
Battalion Commander Cao was getting really annoyed.
But he wasn't annoyed by Zhao Youcai; he was annoyed by some arrogant young master in Beijing.
"I don't care about anyone's identity or background. We're not going to Beijing to take you back to visit relatives and friends, but for the Thousand Ears Festival. If anyone dares to cause trouble at this crucial moment, don't blame the military region for reporting it! If it affects your families, then I can only apologize to you in advance."
The man who made the sarcastic remark instantly turned pale.
If it were just about Commander Cao's personal face, he wouldn't care whether to give it or not. But if it involved the entire military region, he really couldn't guarantee that his grandfather, uncles, and other relatives wouldn't bail him out.
Zhao Youcai, finally finding some peace and quiet, was getting sleepy; the old green train was just as slow as a cradle.
Zhao Youcai has been incredibly busy lately and hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
"Old Zhao, go lie down on the top bunk."
Battalion Commander Cao thoughtfully bought them all soft sleeper berths, so that the people on the lower bunks could sit on the beds and eat, drink, and have fun around the table.
Factory Director Niu was worried that Zhao Youcai wouldn't sleep well on the lower bunk. What if someone did something without him noticing and accidentally hit him?
After all, in Director Niu's view, that troublemaker hadn't given up and was probably up to no good, ready to make trouble for Zhao Youcai at any time.
Zhao Youcai didn't stand on ceremony. He knew the train was noisy, and even though he was sleepy, he definitely wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.
But I'll rest whenever I can. I've been busy with my work for so many days, and I haven't even been to the farm or ranch, let alone the tailor shop, watch shop, breakfast shop, and other shops in the game.
Zhao Youcai had almost forgotten that he possessed such a powerful cheat ability, but this Thousand Ears Festival was of great significance. If Zhao Youcai wanted to make more money, he might actually have to rely on the things within his cheat ability.
For Zhao Youcai, it would be good to reach a long-term cooperation order. If it was really impossible to do business for a long time, then a one-off deal would also be acceptable.
Then, we can take out a few of the products from the "golden finger" that are far beyond this era and rip off a bunch of foreigners.
In this life, who would complain about having too much money?
Zhao Youcai felt that there were too many places where he needed to spend money, and that he was far from having enough money to realize his grand plan.
After all, he was a man with dreams and ideals, who worked hard to build his career and amass great wealth. He would then search for his parents from before his time travel, like finding a needle in a haystack, arrange for them to be together in advance, and gift them several houses across the country, as well as established businesses.
If I lived longer, perhaps I could meet my younger self before I grew up and before I time-traveled.
In order to ensure that his future self becomes the richest child in all of China, Zhao Youcai felt that he had to start planning early.
After all, he's at the age where he should be taking risks.
As Zhao Youcai reached into the tailor shop and touched the new type of dresses made of fabric, his thoughts wandered, recalling his ancestors for eighteen generations.
In any case, the person I was before I transmigrated was from Northeast China. Although my home was not in the Zhao Family Village area, what if it was a close relative who had gone out to do business?
It’s hard to say about this.
Soon Zhao Youcai was conflicted again, feeling that his current status was really awkward.
It's really hard to believe that this person could be the grandson of one's own grandson in the present day, or even the grandfather of one's own grandfather from before the time travel.
Don't dwell on things you can't understand, lest your youthful appearance, which you've worked so hard to maintain, is instead marred by wrinkles from excessive worry.
Just when Zhao Youcai thought the journey would be peaceful and he could finally settle into the guesthouse with the rest of the group when the train arrived at the station, three gunshots suddenly rang out from inside the train.
The entire train instantly became like water poured into a boiling oil pan; screams and cries of pain mingled together, creating utter chaos.
"You all stay in this carriage and don't move around. There are soldiers guarding the outside, so there won't be any problems."
Battalion Commander Cao walked out with a serious expression, while Captain Qi and several plainclothes police officers guarded the carriage closely to ensure that no one inside would be turned and suddenly turn against their own people.
After all, those foreigners with ill intentions don't want to see China, with its thousands of years of heritage, rise again; that's a consequence they can't even imagine.
The sudden restart of the Thousand Ears Festival, while not posing a significant threat to foreigners, is seen by some as a sign that China is preparing to develop its economy.
Instead of heavily guarding the venue and having representatives from various countries launch a frenzied attack, risking international condemnation, it would be better to address the root cause and prevent the Thousand Ears Festival from taking place at all.
This is why there are people accompanying them all the way; it's likely that teams from other provinces and cities heading to Beijing are facing the same situation.
However, the sound of the gunshot was too strange. How could it have come from outside this carriage?
Could it be that there is another important person who needs special protection in one of the outer carriages?
Zhao Youcai was not a stupid person. In addition, he had the knowledge he had learned from history books before he traveled through time, so he knew the development process of the major historical background.
Russia was still in existence, just a few years before its falling out with China. As a superpower like the United States during World War II, they would likely have been on the list of invited participants in the Tokyo Thousand Harvest Festival.
If you think about Russia's geographical location more carefully, maybe they boarded the same train bound for Beijing at the black market.
Zhao Youcai knew that China was very poor at the moment, and since there were no holidays or festivals, there was no possibility of direct trains departing from the provincial railway station.
The train they were on came from Heilongjiang Province and would stop in Liaoning Province for a while before reaching Beijing.
They are not the only ones on this train now; comrades who are coming to Heilongjiang Province to participate in the Thousand Ears Festival are also on this train.
It's unclear which group fired the shots, or if there were any casualties. If there were casualties, who were they?
Fortunately, although Zhao Youcai was always looking for excitement, he didn't join in every kind of excitement.
It's obvious this is a spectacle that comes at the cost of lives; it's better not to join in.
Battalion Commander Cao returned quickly, bringing with him more than thirty men and women who looked pale and were clearly terrified.
Battalion Commander Cao clapped his hands, signaling everyone in the carriage to look at him, as if he had something important to say.
