Everything was cleaned up and it was finally quiet. After a whole afternoon of noise, Su Nian no longer had the good mood of a bystander. He was tired!
For dinner, Jiang Nuan also ordered an aluminum lunch box, which contained two taels of rice and a bowl of beef stewed with potatoes!
Su Nian watched Jiang Nuan eat with such sweetness that she thought to herself, in this era, there's nothing that two ounces of rice can't solve! If it can't solve it, then four ounces, a pound...
After a long time of hard work, everyone was actually a little tired. After dinner, they all closed their eyes and leaned back in their seats to rest.
The sky gradually darkened and the carriage returned to silence. Gradually, snoring sounds began to rise.
Su Nian was a little annoyed. She tore off two pieces of toilet paper, stuffed them tightly into her ears, and leaned back on the seat to sleep. She was afraid that she would not be able to breathe and would be exhausted if she didn't sleep for a while.
"Ah! Catch the thief!" In the darkness, a shrill scream woke up the sleeping educated youth.
In an instant, flashlights lit up one after another in the carriage.
"Where's the thief?"
"Where is the thief?"
"What's going on?"
"Comrade, what happened?"
Soon, several flashlights were directed at a female educated youth in the middle of the carriage.
Here with Su Nian and the others, Jiang Beichuan took out a flashlight and Qin Yulin took out one and also waved them around.
Su Nian had toilet paper stuffed in her ears and was sleeping so soundly that she was not woken up at all.
"Tsk tsk! Look, he's sleeping so soundly!" Shu Lan looked at Su Nian opposite her and made a sarcastic tsk tsk sound.
"Comrade, can you please make way? Let's go out and take a look!" Qin Yuxian shook Su Nian with her hand and said with a smile.
Su Nian was shaken awake, her face bewildered and adorable. She squinted her eyes, turned her head to look at Qin Yuxian, reached out and took out two pieces of toilet paper from her ears and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Yuxian and Shu Lan looked at the two pieces of toilet paper in Su Nian's hand with an indescribable look in their eyes.
No wonder you can't hear. Your ears are so small, but you stuffed them with two big lumps of toilet paper. Aren't you afraid that your ears will burst?
"Just now, someone over there shouted 'thief!'" Qin Yuxian replied.
"Oh?" Su Nian said, then stood up and turned to look at the middle of the carriage, where a lot of people gathered.
Jiang Beichuan quickly lowered his head, pulled out his briefcase from under the seat, checked his wallet, and made sure it was still there before standing up.
Qin Yulin and Jiang Beichuan also walked over there. Su Nian liked the hustle and bustle even more, so she also walked over.
"Comrade, what's going on? Where's the thief?"
"I don't know either! I was half asleep just now, and I felt someone pulling at the bag in my arms. I reached out and grabbed a hand, but as soon as I shouted, the hand disappeared!"
"How do I find it?"
"Yeah! How can we find the thief with so many people?"
"That thief, could he still be in the carriage?"
"That's right! Everyone, be careful! It's pitch dark here, and we can't find the thief!"
"Let's go, let's go, everyone go back and rest! We'll be arriving at the station tomorrow afternoon, so hang in there!"
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to see, Su Nian could only walk back. As he walked, he looked around, trying to find some clues.
It was pitch black, and I could only see the faint light from the flashlights in people's hands, so I really couldn't see anything. Everyone looked normal.
If the environment wasn't so restrictive, Su Nian would have taken out a thousand-watt searchlight to illuminate your path! It would have left no room for thieves to hide. Everyone, just wish them well!
Fortunately, I only had a large amount of luggage on it and no valuables, otherwise I would have felt unsafe.
When Su Nian returned to his seat, everyone on his side had already sat back down neatly. Su Nian, the spectator who loved to watch the show, was the last one to return.
There was no conversation that night. Su Nian stuffed toilet paper into her bed and focused on sleeping to recharge her energy.
The rest of the people hardly slept at all because they were on guard against thieves and were also kept awake by the snoring.
After daybreak, the carriage gradually became bustling with activity. There was no time to think about sleeping, as most of the educated youth were exhausted and listless.
Everyone lined up to wash up and then returned to their seats.
Su Nian still took out a fragrant and soft pancake and ate it, then drank some hot water. Breakfast was solved, as she didn’t eat much in the morning anyway.
"Shulan, go to carriage number nine and buy some breakfast! Porridge, buns, eggs are all fine!" Jiang Beichuan said, then lowered his head to take out the wallet from his purse.
The moment he lowered his head, Jiang Beichuan was a little confused. The zipper of his briefcase was open.
He quickly pulled out his briefcase and searched inside for a long time, but couldn't find his wallet.
"Beichuan! What happened?" Shulan's heart skipped a beat.
"The wallet is missing!" Jiang Beichuan said in a cold voice with a sullen face.
"This..." Shulan's heart sank after hearing this.
She couldn't help but look around. Now, everyone looked like a thief to her.
"I'll go find the conductor right away! Before we reach the station, let's find out who stole my wallet!" Shu Lan stood up and walked towards the carriage where the police office was.
Su Nian couldn't help but blink and frowned as he looked around. There really was a thief!
"I'll go get the clothes!" Jiang Beichuan said to Qin Yuxian, stood up and walked to the end of the carriage.
Not long after, Jiang Beichuan walked back from the end of the carriage with a sullen face and empty hands.
"Brother Chuan, where are your pants?" Qin Yuxian asked in confusion.
"Lost!" Jiang Beichuan said with a cold face, then sat there in silence and daze.
Those pants were his favorite and most expensive pair. The most important thing was that not only were they lost, but they even took the waistband! Jiang Beichuan felt incredibly upset.
