Chapter 52: Leaving
Yuan Lingling and her friend would not be able to see the good show, so they went to the train station as planned the next morning.
Originally, Chen Caisheng should have settled there first and then brought Yuan Lingling over, but Chen Caisheng was worried about Yuan Lingling staying alone in Beijing, so he asked his leader to help him choose a courtyard.
Shen Caisheng sent all his things over and only took two small packages with him.
Lao You will also go there later, but he has to stay in Beijing for the time being to deal with the aftermath. He also came to the station to see the two of them off, and Yang Xiaoxi and Zheng Changqing also came with him.
"Sister Lingling, I will miss you." While the men were talking, Yang Xiaoxi talked to Yuan Lingling alone. Yang Xiaoxi's eyes turned red when she looked at her.
Yuan Lingling smiled and said, "We will meet again in the future. Remember to write to me."
"I will." Yang Xiaoxi pursed her lips, and seemed to be struggling for a moment before leaning close to Yuan Lingling's ear and saying, "Sister Lingling, you've heard about the Yuan family, right? I was the one who went to scare them."
"Ah?" Yuan Lingling was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect that person to be Yang Xiaoxi, but after Yang Xiaoxi said that, she could figure it out.
When the two talked about this that day, Yang Xiaoxi was a little indignant. In the novel, Yang Xiaoxi also had this kind of personality who hated evil and hated enemies. It was not surprising that Yuan Lingling did these things now.
But she did this for herself, so Yuan Lingling still felt warm in her heart.
"You better be careful and don't let them get any evidence against you. From now on, just pretend you know nothing about this." Yuan Lingling wanted to say that she didn't need to do anything more, but she was afraid that if she said that, she would think that she was being unnecessary, so she didn't say anything more.
But Yang Xiaoxi was as sensitive as she thought. She asked cautiously, "Am I meddling in other people's business? I was angry too. I realized after I did it that I seemed to have done something unnecessary."
"Don't think too much about things that didn't happen. But there is one thing I really need your help with."
"What?" Yang Xiaoxi seemed very happy to be able to help her.
"When the time comes, you can help me keep an eye on it. If there is anything new happening around here, please write to me. You don't have to ask around, just tell me what's new that everyone knows."
"Okay." It was just a small favor, and Yang Xiaoxi had no reason to refuse.
While they were talking, Monkey and Majie came.
"Sister Lingling." Hou Yuan, who hadn't seen Yuan Lingling for a long time, rushed forward and hugged her, "Sister Lingling, I missed you so much."
Yuan Lingling smiled, "I think Xiao Yuanyuan is thinking about the egg cake made by sister-in-law."
Sure enough, when the little guy heard about egg cake, his eyes lit up, and he didn't hide his greed at all, "I want egg cake too."
"Let your sister Xiaoxi do it for you."
Hou Yuan glanced at Yang Xiaoxi, walked up to her and hugged her, calling her "News sister", which made everyone laugh.
Monkey and Ma Jie both came forward to thank Yang Xiaoxi. Monkey naturally thanked Yuan Lingling for helping to take care of Hou Yuan, while Ma Jie thanked her for helping to persuade Aunt Yang to let Ma Lili continue her studies.
It was at this time that Yuan Lingling truly felt the atmosphere of parting.
The train station was bustling with people, many of them coming to see others off, and also many of them being seen off.
It seemed like they hadn't been talking for long when the train arrived. After sending you thousands of miles away, you must finally say goodbye. The two waved goodbye and got on the train.
Shen Caisheng took on all the moving tasks, and the two of them arrived at the sleeper car.
The sleeper berth was specially applied for by Shen Caisheng for the pregnant woman Yuan Lingling.
Although she was in good health, it was impossible for her to sit in a hard seat for so long. But even if it was a hard sleeper, Yuan Lingling didn't feel it was very good.
Fortunately, she didn't have high hopes for the train.
After they were settled, the train had already departed. Yuan Lingling snuggled in Shen Caisheng's arms and said dazedly, "You're not totally free of worries, you must be reluctant to leave your friends."
Maybe Shen Caisheng didn't regard them as his best friends, but when he was about to leave, he would find that there were things he was reluctant to give up, even in the unbearable memories of the past. But she really didn't have anything she was reluctant to give up. If she had to have something, she might be reluctant to give up the big kang.
Shen Caisheng did not deny it, "They will understand."
"Yeah." Yuan Lingling squinted her eyes, listening to the clanking sound of the train, feeling a little sleepy. "You will all have a bright future."
However, just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a woman's voice from the other side, "Young people these days really don't pay attention to their influence. They hug and cuddle casually everywhere. It's not decent."
The direction of these words was too obvious. Yuan Lingling opened her eyes and looked at the other person. She didn't expect that someone would agree with her when she said such words.
"Yes, nowadays there are more and more young people who don't know the rules."
Yuan Lingling looked away. She felt a little irritated by the sadness of separation. She couldn't help but look up and complain to Shen Caisheng, "Do you know why Grandpa Xiao Ming can live to be ninety years old?"
Shen Caisheng also hated the two people opposite him pointing fingers at them, but he never cared about other people's opinions. However, no matter what Yuan Lingling did, he would stand on her side.
When he heard Yuan Lingling speak, although he was a little surprised, he still cooperated and asked, "Why?"
"Because his grandfather doesn't mind his own business." Yuan Lingling chuckled and said, "There are so many people who like to teach others nowadays."
Shen Caisheng quickly reacted and smiled, "Go to sleep for a while, don't worry about others."
The two people opposite were dressed extraordinary, and those who could ride in a sleeper car in this era were obviously not ordinary people.
After hearing Yuan Lingling's words at first, they were unable to react to what they meant. Only after hearing her last sentence did they understand. They never expected that Yuan Lingling would actually mock them, or to be more precise, curse them, while they had merely expressed some opinions about Yuan Lingling.
The carriage is a public place. Is it appropriate for the two of them to hug each other?
After being scolded by Yuan Lingling for a short life, the woman somehow lost her defense. She did not argue with Yuan Lingling directly, but said to the man she was traveling with, "If it were in the past, if someone had promiscuous relationships with a man, they would be sent to a farm for reform."
Yuan Lingling really couldn't understand why these two people, who looked quite polite, spoke so unpleasantly.
Not to mention that her belly was already obvious, she was also indeed feeling uncomfortable, and the other person should be able to see that.
Besides, she was just leaning against him slightly and didn't do anything with Shen Caisheng, so how could she be an eyesore to them?
"I'm going to sleep for a while, don't worry about me." Yuan Lingling was indeed not feeling well now. She was a little tired thinking about the journey ahead, and she also didn't want to quarrel with anyone as soon as she got on the bus. She took out her homemade eye mask and put it on, closing her eyes and pretending not to hear what the two people opposite her said.
I don’t know if it was because I didn’t sleep well last night, or because Shen Caisheng really gave her a great sense of security, Yuan Lingling leaned on him and fell asleep in a short while.
The two people on the opposite side probably thought it was boring that she didn't respond, so they didn't say anything else.
However, when Yuan Lingling woke up again, the two people opposite her had disappeared, and even their luggage was nowhere to be found.
Yuan Lingling looked at the sky outside the window in a daze. The sun was still high in the sky.
"I haven't slept for a whole day and night, have I?"
Shen Caisheng poured water for Yuan Lingling to drink. "How could that be? It's only half an hour. Go to sleep peacefully. I'll be here to watch over you."
After a good night's sleep, Yuan Lingling was much more awake. She asked about the two people across from her, and Shen Caisheng replied calmly, "They were taken away."
"What? Why?" You can't be arrested just for saying a few words, right?
That's really outrageous.
"Because they are human traffickers." Shen Caisheng explained, "This is not their place, they came here secretly."
Yuan Lingling asked about the whole story, and Shen Caisheng told her everything. Yuan Lingling was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
The boss is worthy of being the boss.
It turned out that Shen Caisheng recognized the woman the first time he entered the carriage. The woman looked very similar to a man in the group of human traffickers they had met. Based on this, Shen Caisheng could tell that the two must be related by blood.
Then they really provoked Yuan Lingling, but unfortunately Yuan Lingling was not fooled, and Shen Caisheng looked scary, so he did not take any action.
However, Yuan Lingling was just a by-product for them, their real target was actually the person who was sitting in the carriage.
The woman left quickly. Shen Caisheng stood at the door and made a gesture to the conductor. With the clues provided by Shen Caisheng, they quickly caught the group of people.
"You are amazing. How did you avoid them and make hand gestures with the conductor?"
"Last time we caught someone, we discussed some hand signals with them, such as if they were human traffickers, and how many people were in the carriage, etc."
I didn't expect that it was already arranged at that time. "What did you think?"
"Yeah." Shen Caisheng didn't think it was a big deal, he was just helping out.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Lingling suddenly stood up, hooked her arms around his shoulders and kissed him on the cheek, "You are amazing too."
Shen Caisheng was stunned and silent for a long time. Then his Adam's apple rolled and he said, "Don't make trouble. We are outside."
"Yeah, young people nowadays really don't pay attention to influences." Yuan Lingling also realized that her behavior just now was inappropriate, so she lay down, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
She was just impulsive and didn't know why she did that. Now her ears are starting to feel hot.
Shen Caisheng looked at her lying on her side, and the curve of his mouth deepened.
Shen Caisheng had no resistance to Yuan Lingling like this. He didn't know when he could no longer control his heartbeat.
Yuan Lingling was lying down and didn't hear Shen Caisheng talking. She turned her head to look at him and happened to meet his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me? I feel like my back is burning."
Chen Caisheng smiled helplessly, "No need to watch it. Are you still sleepy? If you are, just sleep a little longer."
In fact, he was also worried that Yuan Lingling didn't get enough rest on the train. If it were any other time, it would be fine, but now that she was pregnant, she was weak.
However, Yuan Lingling shook her head and sat up.
"I don't want to sleep anymore. Can you tell me about your childhood?"
