Chapter 26 Going South



The next day, after Lin Li woke up and finished practicing her internal energy cultivation, she slowly got out of bed.

Starting today, she needs to make a new plan to earn money. Selling boxed lunches can make money, but it's too little and very tiring.

Yesterday, she learned from the village chief that several coastal cities have been designated as economic development zones, and she wants to take advantage of this reform momentum to accumulate initial capital as quickly as possible.

Lin Li has always been a person who dares to think and act. Today, she went to the train station to buy a ticket and prepared to head south directly.

After walking into the courtyard, I practiced a set of boxing techniques, had brunch, and then set off for town.

After queuing up to buy train tickets, I waited three days before setting off for Shenzhen.

That evening, after Lin Laosan returned home, he told her about his plan. Lin Laosan now trusted Lin Li completely, and considering her skills, he figured the old lady wouldn't suffer any losses going out, so he nodded and agreed!

So, after arranging everything at home over the next three days, Lin Li boarded the train with great anticipation. She would be on the train for two days and two nights to reach Shenzhen.

In the 1980s, trains were mainly green-skinned trains. In order to get a good rest, Lin Li bought a soft sleeper ticket. There were four people in one room, which was much more spacious than the hard sleeper.

Lin Laosan helped her carry her luggage onto the train and, from outside the train window, repeatedly reminded her to be careful.

She was told not to mistreat herself while traveling, to eat well and stay in good places, and not to starve herself to the point of being thin, which left Lin Li both amused and exasperated!

She's not a three-year-old child, can't she take care of herself? But thinking that this was also a sign of her son's filial piety, she happily accepted it!

Standing on the train station, watching the train slowly pull away from the platform, tears streamed down Lin Laosan's face.

He felt a pang of sadness, and resolved to work even harder so that the old lady would never have to struggle for a living again.

Lin Li: ...

Sitting on the train, Lin Li had no idea of ​​the determination Lin Laosan had made. She was looking out the window with excitement, determined to catch the wave of rapid economic development and achieve her path to wealth.

Lin Li was the only passenger in her sleeper car until two stops later, when an elderly couple and their granddaughter checked in.

"Hey girl, is this room number 11?"

"Yes!"

Lin Li watched as the two elderly people with white hair stood shakily, supporting each other at the door, while a little girl of about four or five years old, with two small braids, stood outside the private room, holding the old man's cane.

She quickly stood up and helped them pick up their suitcases and put them away.

"Thank you, thank you!"

The old woman kept thanking Lin Li!

"You're welcome. It's only natural to lend a hand when you're traveling!"

After helping them sit on the lower bunk, Lin Li took out some fruit and placed it on the table covered with white gauze. "These are fruits I grew at home. Try them, they're very sweet!"

As he spoke, he handed the little girl an apple.

The little girl looked timidly at Lin Li, then turned and threw herself into the old woman's arms, her little face twisting and turning, occasionally stealing glances at her out of the corner of her eye.

Lin Li was amused by the little girl's expression and looked at her with her eyes crinkling.

"This child is shy!" The old woman couldn't help but laugh as she looked at her granddaughter's shy expression. "Here, thank you..."

"Young lady, how old are you?"

"I'm almost 45 years old this year!"

"You're 45? You don't look it at all. I was thinking of having my kids call you 'Auntie,' but I was afraid it would make you sound old!"

Lin Li was overjoyed to hear this. It seemed that her skincare routine had worked; she didn't look 45 at all!

"Big sister, now that you say that, I'm really taking it seriously!" Lin Li laughed so hard her eyes disappeared.

"Haha, I'm telling the truth, young lady, where are you headed?"

"I'm going to Shenzhen to take a look. I heard it's been turned into an economic development zone. I'll go see if there are any opportunities there!"

"At 45, you still want to take a chance? Young lady, you're amazing!" The old woman said, giving a thumbs up.

"Hahaha! Big sister, didn't you say I'm still young? Of course I should go and try my luck! So, big sister, are you also going to Shenzhen?"

"Yes, go find my eldest son, he's in Shenzhen right now!"

"That's great, we're going that way anyway."

The two ate fruit and chatted, and before long they were having a lively conversation. Even the shy little girl dared to stand next to Lin Li, staring at her with her big, dark eyes and giggling.

Just then, the old man suddenly pressed his hand to his chest, broke out in a cold sweat, turned pale, and had difficulty breathing. He fainted shortly afterward.

"Old man! Old man! What's wrong?"

The old woman immediately noticed something was wrong with the old man and was terrified!

Upon seeing this, Lin Li immediately took out some spiritual spring water from her person and forced the old man to drink a sip. "I'll go and call the train conductor right away."

Then she stumbled and ran toward the cabin crew quarters.

After finally finding the train attendant, without saying a word, he grabbed her and ran towards their sleeper compartment. "The old man who shared a sleeper compartment with me has fallen ill. It's very serious. He's already fainted!"

The train attendant, who was about to lose her temper after being pulled away by Lin Li, immediately picked up her walkie-talkie and reported the situation to the train conductor.

When the two women reached the sleeper berth, they saw that the old man's face had turned ashen, and the rise and fall of his chest was almost invisible.

"This looks like a heart attack," the train conductor exclaimed.

Myocardial infarction? Lin Li's heart sank when she heard that. Every minute that a myocardial infarction is delayed results in the death of a large number of myocardial cells, and timely medical treatment is the key to saving a life.

But in this situation, how could they get medical treatment? Looking at the panicked crowd, she suddenly remembered that the trading system in her space contained:

[Medical Book: A Miracle Doctor? Can anyone be as skilled as you?]

He hurriedly rushed into the toilet, entered the space, opened the trading system and exchanged for a medical book. After the medical knowledge appeared in his mind, he looked at the methods for treating myocardial infarction, and then exchanged for a set of silver needles according to the instructions in the book.

Then, carrying five or six bottles of spiritual spring water, he left the space and immediately ran towards the sleeper car.

"Please make way, please make way!"

Lin Li squeezed through the layers of onlookers, sweating profusely, and as soon as she entered the sleeper compartment, she heard the train conductor's voice coming from the train attendant's walkie-talkie.

"We are broadcasting and looking for a doctor. You must ensure the patient's condition is well."

"Train conductor, hurry! The patient's breathing is getting weaker and weaker!"

...

It was too late. Seeing the old man's face growing paler and paler, Lin Li rushed to him without even wiping the sweat from her face and forced him to drink more spiritual spring water.

Then, taking his hand, I began to take his pulse.

The spiritual spring water was effective; Lin Li breathed a long sigh of relief after feeling the old man's heartbeat strengthen.
