The man was extremely cautious. Under the cover of the sound of the train, if he didn't look at the corridor, he would not have known that someone was passing by.
Pei Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and when he saw a dark shadow coming towards him, he immediately closed his eyes again.
Xu Zhiyi, who was in the middle bunk, also noticed something was wrong. She didn't say anything and pretended to turn over naturally.
Pei Yan, who was in the lower bunk, felt Xu Zhiyi turn over, and pretended to mutter in his sleep, humming twice. Xu Zhiyi knew that Pei Yan was awake.
When the man heard Pei Yan's voice, he thought he had woken up and stopped.
After a while, when I didn't hear any movement, I knew he was talking in his sleep.
The thin man immediately walked up to Pei Yan carefully.
Among the three of them, he looked older and had a package with him. Judging from the way they were dressed, one could tell that they were definitely in good condition.
Seeing Pei Yan sleeping with the package in his arms, the thin man held his breath and wanted to take the package out.
As soon as he touched the bag containing the package, Pei Yan's sharp gaze shot over. He sat up and grabbed the thin man's arm and pulled him.
The man was completely focused on the package and never thought that Pei Yan was not asleep and was waiting for him.
A hand chopped off the back of the neck, and half of the thin man's body was about to fall on the bed, but Pei Yan grabbed him and put him on the ground.
Pei Yan's movements were so fast that he took care of the thief without making any sound.
"Ayan, are you done?" Xu Zhiyi poked his head out from above.
"Go to sleep, it's okay."
"What should we do with this person?" Xu Zhiyi asked in a low voice.
"It's too late. Wait until daybreak and take him to the train police."
In order to prevent the man from waking up in the middle of the night, Pei Yan took out a piece of hemp rope from the big bag under the bed, tied the man's hands and feet, and found a piece of cloth to block his mouth.
He felt the man's pocket and found a small knife. Pei Yan put the knife away and didn't find anything else dangerous.
Why is there a hemp rope in Pei Yan's bag?
Xu Zhiyi had doubts and decided to ask again after he understood.
Although the weather was cold, the man was wearing thick clothes so he wouldn't freeze to death in one night.
Just let him lie on the ground, he will suffer a little.
Pei Yan continued to lie in bed and sleep, very calm.
It was as if he wasn't the one who caught the thief just now.
At daybreak, people on the train slowly woke up, and voices could be heard from time to time.
There was no one on Pei Yan's bed.
Mr. Xu slept uneasily on the train. When it was daybreak outside, the light was too strong and he woke up early.
He stuck his head out and was stunned to see that there was no one on his second sister's and Brother Yan's beds.
Where had they gone so early?
Xu Sheng couldn't sleep, so he got out of bed and sat on Pei Yan's lower bunk, waiting.
He glanced at the luggage on the ground and wondered why both of them were gone.
What if someone takes the luggage?
"Are you awake?" Xu Zhiyi came back with a kettle.
"Second sister, where have you been? Where is Brother Yan?" Xu Sheng asked.
"I just got some hot water at the front of the carriage. It's not far away. Ayan went to find the conductor."
"Looking for a train attendant? Why do I need to look for a train attendant?" Xu Sheng's head was full of questions.
"In the early morning, a thief came to touch Ayan's bag. He was caught and has now been sent to the railway police."
"Ah? I fell asleep and didn't know anything." Xu Sheng was a little annoyed. He didn't hear any movement.
Even if he heard it, he couldn't be woken up because he was sleeping so soundly.
"It's okay, it's just a thief, Ayan can handle it alone."
"That's right, Brother Yan is so skilled."
Xu Sheng thought that the thieves on the train were really rampant, but fortunately Brother Yan was very skilled and was not afraid at all.
That’s not right. His second sister is also quite skilled. Anyway, any bad guy will never get away with anything good from them.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, and the thieves on the train are getting more and more rampant. Please keep the money in your pocket safe so that thieves don't steal it."
Xu Sheng smiled wittily, "No, they definitely won't be able to find where I'm hiding."
Mr. Xu is full of confidence.
After Pei Yan came back, his expression was a little serious.
"The conductor said that many people on this train had been robbed, most of them late at night while people were asleep. Even if they were woken up accidentally, those people were afraid because they had knives in their hands and gave them money."
"This group of people have sharp eyes and specifically target people in the sleeper berths. They must have money."
"I guess they targeted us because we were young and well-dressed."
"There are probably accomplices on the train. We're afraid they might retaliate. Don't go around alone. They might target us."
Pei Yan thought about when he handed the man over to the conductor, the conductor wanted to interrogate him about his gang, but the man cursed and said that he was the younger brother of the gang leader and would definitely come to rescue him.
I thought he was just a small fry, but this guy has someone behind him.
There are only three police officers on the train, and they are distributed in different carriages.
Judging from the thin guy's fearless look, there must be more than two or three people in this group.
"That guy came here secretly last night. No one was with him. That's why there was no commotion after he was caught."
Xu Zhiyi: "Mr. Xu, don't go around alone. Even if you want to go to the bathroom, you should ask A Yan to go with you."
Xu Sheng patted his chest and said, "I'm not afraid. If there's one, I'll beat one. If there's two, I'll beat a pair."
With his mediocre skills, he is no match for the knife in the other person's hand.
"Hmm?" Xu Zhiyi looked at him lightly.
When Xu Sheng met Xu Zhiyi's eyes, he suddenly became timid.
I'm not afraid of thieves, but I don't dare to challenge Xu Zhiyi.
After all, the blood suppression from his sister made him dare not act rashly.
"Okay, I'll definitely ask Brother Yan to come wherever I go."
"What else did the conductor say?" Xu Zhiyi asked.
Pei Yan glanced at Xu Zhiyi and hesitated for a moment. "The conductor wanted to ask me for help, saying that the group might go to rescue people, but they were too short-handed and worried they wouldn't be able to hold on."
Xu Zhiyi looked at Xu Sheng and saw that he looked like a silly boy.
"Then you go. Mr. Xu and I will be fine here." Xu Zhiyi said.
Pei Yan's hesitation was noticed by Xu Zhiyi. "It's okay. You know my skills are no worse than yours."
Pei Yan nodded, this is true.
"They definitely won't take action now that the train is moving. They'll probably take advantage of the chaos when it's almost arriving at the station and there are more people."
"Then is it possible that he sneaked over at night when no one was paying attention?" Xu Sheng continued.
"It's okay, I'll go over and take a look at it at night. You guys should also be careful and don't all fall asleep at night." Pei Yan said.
The three of them were talking at the junction of the carriages not far away. There was no one else around, and they spoke in low voices, so no one else could hear them.
For breakfast, Pei Yan bought steamed buns and eggs from the dining car. They were paired with the meat sauce he made, and they tasted really delicious.
Mr. Xu had just listened to their conversation and was not worried at all. He ate three big steamed buns in one breath.
He also said that it was not as delicious as what my mother cooked.
