As I stepped into the train station, I heard the bustling voices of people, as if I had walked into a busy city.
"The waiting room is in front. Let's go and wait there. It's 12:40 p.m. now, and we have to wait for more than two hours." Gu Lingguo led people to the waiting room. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a group of people pouring out. They waited until no one came out of the waiting room before they went inside.
The waiting room was not very big, and it could not be compared with the multi-story waiting rooms of later generations; fortunately, a group of people had just left, and there were many empty seats in the waiting room, so they didn't have to stand for more than two hours.
"Second brother, put mom here." Yuxiu walked to the empty seat in the second row and put the small bag casually on the chair.
Fang Guozhong responded and walked forward, putting the old lady on a chair. Zhong Yuxiu sat beside her, holding her arm affectionately.
"Mom, are you tired?"
"I'm not tired. It's my second brother who's carrying me. It's true that he's tired." The old lady looked at Fang Guozhong with silent gratitude. At this moment, she couldn't say anything.
Zhong Yuxiu looked up at Fang Guozhong and said, "Thank you for your hard work, second brother. Sit down and rest for a while. We don't seem to have any water. Is there anyone selling water outside?"
"Should be there. I'll go buy a few cups." Gu Lingguo said immediately.
Fang Guozhong stretched out his hand to stop him, "I'll go, I'll go. You don't go. You stay here with your parents and little sister."
"You're tired, I'll go." Gu Lingguo glanced at the door and winked at Fang Guozhong.
Having been partners for many years, Fang Guozhong understood immediately, "No, I'll go. You take care of my parents and my younger sister's luggage. You're careful, but I'm not."
Gu Lingguo pretended to hesitate, glanced at the door inadvertently, and nodded in embarrassment.
"Okay then. Thank you for your hard work, second brother. Go quickly and come back soon."
After Fang Guozhong left, Gu Lingguo helped Mr. Wang to sit next to the old lady, and he sat in the first seat on the left in the row in front of them, facing the door.
Gu Lingguo maintained the image of a man of few words and a real man; he stood straight with his back erect, his hands on his knees and his arms straight.
He is the kind of person who is upright and honest.
"Mom and Dad, do you want to close your eyes and rest for a while?"
Yuxiu's voice made Gu Lingguo turn around suddenly and look at the two old people with concern.
Mr. Wang waved his hands repeatedly, "You're not tired, no need to rest; talk to your mother and keep an eye on her along the way."
"Okay." Zhong Yuxiu nodded in response with a smile, and then she chatted with the old lady. Time passed quickly while they were chatting. Fang Guozhong bought a few cups of herbal tea and the conversation ended.
Fang Guozhong first served the two elderly people with cold tea, and then to Zhong Yuxiu. If it was before, he would definitely have given the cold tea to Zhong Yuxiu first, but the situation was different now, and he couldn't do it too obviously.
"Little sister, if that's not enough, there are three places selling this kind of herbal tea outside. I don't know if it tastes good, let's try it first."
"Okay, thank you, second brother."
Zhong Yuxiu took the herbal tea, sniffed it, and then used her mental power to investigate. She found tiny things inside, not bacteria, but a poisonous virus. If she didn't know, it would be fine. But now that she knew, she couldn't just watch them drink it.
"Second brother, father and mother, eldest brother, please wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Fang Guozhong asked in confusion.
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and said, "Let's switch."
"good."
Fang Guozhong handed her the one in his hand, took the cup from her, and looked at her nervously; he knew that Zhong Yuxiu was a medical genius, and he thought that she had discovered that the cup was unsafe.
Zhong Yuxiu used the same method to detect Fang Guozhong's cup, and then asked Fang Guozhong to cover her position. She looked at the hands of Mr. Wang and the other man, and found that theirs was no exception. She looked up and quietly shook her head at Fang Guozhong. Gu Lingguo stood up and walked over.
"The herbal tea is too bright, little sister. You and your parents have weak stomachs. It's better not to drink it. We have to get on the train soon, and we don't want to be affected by the stomachache."
Gu Lingguo took the cold tea from Zhong Yuxiu and the others and put it aside. Fang Guozhong slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, look at my memory. I should have bought warm water. My parents are old and have suffered a lot in the past. They are weak. My little sister has been in poor health since she was born. Blame me this time, blame me. I said I wasn't careful enough. You should have gone, big brother."
"Be more careful next time."
"Okay." Fang Guozhong responded readily.
Zhong Yuxiu spoke at the right time, "Brother, I can't get along with you, and you can't drink either. I'll be jealous later, and when I see you drinking, I'll want to drink too." She looked like a spoiled girl.
The eyes of a woman standing at the door flashed. She didn't believe it, nor did she disbelieve it. She just thought it was too much of a coincidence. Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences.
"Alright, stop standing here. Since your little sister can't drink it, you guys shouldn't drink it either. Take it out and throw it away." The old lady acted like an unreasonable person who only doted on her daughter, and she made it a perfect match. "Also, be more careful when buying things next time. Don't buy from sellers who are not clean. Don't buy anything that is too cold. Your father and I are old and can't stand it any longer."
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong nodded repeatedly in agreement, and each of them took some out to throw it away; directly into the trash can, the people hiding in the dark silently complained.
He is really a good son who listens to his mother. He throws it away when asked to. It’s just herbal tea! He can’t bear to buy it from other stores. Why not just give it away?
No matter how much they complain, those people still have brains; they know they can't go on. Their actions may have attracted the other party's attention, or maybe the other party really can't stand being left out.
There are only two options. To be cautious, they will not take action for the time being and just observe in the dark.
They waited in the waiting room until 2:30. Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong were responsible for carrying the old lady and the luggage respectively. Zhong Yuxiu helped Mr. Wang out of the waiting room. There were many other people going out with them. I don't know if they were on the same bus or were going to other places. They left at the same time or at a similar time.
Gu Lingguo spotted the train to Shangjing with his sharp eyes. He twisted his luggage and turned around to protect Mr. Wang and Zhong Yuxiu. "Dad, little sister, look, that's the train to Shangjing."
"I see. Check your ticket first and get on the train."
There are quite a lot of people waiting on the train to Beijing. If you go too late, the queue will be even more tiring.
After making it through the inspection and reaching the platform outside the corresponding carriage, Zhong Yuxiu took out her train ticket and handed it to Gu Lingguo. Gu Lingguo only glanced at it briefly before leading the way, always protecting Zhong Yuxiu and Mr. Wang. They followed behind Fang Guozhong, who was carrying the old woman on his back. They checked their tickets, boarded the train, and successfully found their carriage and berth.
Gu Lingguo put down his luggage and helped Fang Guozhong put the old lady on the lower bunk.
"Dad and Mom sleep on the lower bunk, little sister, you sleep on the upper bunk here, and my second brother and I will take turns to keep watch on the lower bunk." In the six-person carriage, there was one empty seat on the upper bunk.
