While Kong Qi was buying food, Passenger A, who lived next to him, trotted back to the compartment with four lunch boxes in his hands.
After looking around at the door and finding that there was no one in the corridor, he hurried in.
"What's going on? You're like a thief. What happened?" Passenger B in the same compartment asked hurriedly upon seeing this.
Under normal circumstances, no one would take it seriously, but the situation is special now, and any slight movement will attract attention.
Passenger A did not answer the question, but said: "Make way, make way, please make way, the rice with toppings in my hand is so hot that I can't hold it anymore. Come on, before it spills."
When the people inside heard this, they hurriedly sat down on the bed, their legs pressed tightly against the edge, trying their best to make a wider path.
Of course, don't get me wrong, the reason for this is not because I'm worried about burning myself, but because I'm worried about spilling the rice. If I had known this earlier, food would be the top priority.
Passenger A took two steps instead of three and put the four lunch boxes in his hand on the table with a "bang".
"Phew! This rice with toppings must have just come out of the pot. It's so hot it could kill me." Passenger A blew air on his red fingertips and complained.
After hearing this, the few people left in the compartment hurried to comfort and express their gratitude.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll go buy food tomorrow and we'll take turns."
"Yes, in this special period, we can only do this."
"I have some water here. Why don't you wet your handkerchief and apply it to the affected area. It should feel much better."
After hearing this, Passenger A felt much better and his expression softened.
Seeing her like this, Passenger B brought up the previous topic again, "Who did you meet just now? Why were you so flustered when you came back?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down." Passenger A made a quiet gesture and spoke in a low voice.
The others quickly shut up.
Passenger A motioned for the others to come over, and after forming a circle, he said in a very low voice, "I just met the person next door."
"Ah, that..." Passenger C spoke in surprise, but before he could finish, Passenger D next to him covered his mouth.
Passenger A glared at Passenger C and said harshly, "Keep your voice down! What if someone hears you? That person is right next door."
"I'll let you go, but you can't make a fuss anymore, okay?" said passenger Ding.
Passenger C's mouth was covered and he could not speak, so he could only nod vigorously to show that he understood.
Passenger Ding then slowly let go of his hand, but was always ready to cover his mouth again.
"Okay, what were you going to say just now?" Passenger B asked Passenger C to say what she had not finished saying before.
"Did you encounter that pervert?" Passenger C asked Passenger A, his face full of vigilance.
Passenger D also looked over, while Passenger B frowned slightly but didn't say anything.
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Passenger A first nodded, then quickly shook his head, and finally said seriously, "I did meet the guy next door, but no one knows whether he's a pervert or not. We can't make random accusations without evidence."
"If he's not a pervert, then who is? It must be him, there's no doubt about it." Passenger Ding spoke excitedly, but perhaps because of the lessons learned from the previous experience, she was careful to lower her voice this time.
"Xiao Ding." Passenger A spoke up to stop him.
Passenger B also looked at her with some disapproval, while Passenger C nodded in agreement.
Under normal circumstances, Passenger D would have been too scared to continue speaking after hearing Passenger A calling her in that tone.
But today is different. Maybe it's because I've been worried since I learned about the pervert in the afternoon, and my emotions are a little unstable. Now I want to vent everything at once.
"That's right. When I finally passed by his door, I noticed something was a little strange about him. That look in his eyes seemed to want to peel me apart. You say everyone has their own personality, and maybe he's just a little weird. It's better to stay away from him."
"Okay, fine, I believe you. But everyone's saying there's a pervert in our car. And think about the way he looked at me earlier. Wasn't that like a pervert? Maybe he was just looking for a target. Besides him, everyone else in our car is normal. If he's not a pervert, then who is?" Passenger Ding said excitedly.
If she hadn't been smart enough to know to keep her voice down, everyone in the car would have heard her voice.
It's not her fault. After all, the previous incident made her wonder if she had been targeted by a pervert.
Seeing her so excited, Passenger A and Passenger B could not preach any more. They could only comfort her:
"Don't worry, nothing will happen with us here."
"Tonight I'm going to switch places with you. You'll sleep on the upper bunk, and I'll be on the lower bunk. No one can get past me."
Passenger C also hugged her and tried to comfort her.
After passenger Ding calmed down, he said, "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now."
"It's okay, we all understand."
After this incident, Passenger A and Passenger B no longer said anything without evidence. Regardless of whether there was evidence or not, they still had to be on guard.
It's not the best, at most it's just a waste of time and energy. But if it is, you won't regret it if you prepare in advance.
"When you saw that man just now, was there anyone else around him?" Passenger B asked Passenger A.
Passenger A shook his head and said, "No, he was alone. I checked when I came back, and there was no one in the lower and middle bunks of their compartment, and I couldn't see anyone in the upper bunk." So the possibility that he had no accomplices cannot be ruled out.
"Oh, I see." Passenger B touched his chin and thought.
Then he snapped his fingers and said, "Whether there are others or not, let's make all the necessary preparations. I have an idea and I need everyone's cooperation."
"Well, let's check our luggage first to see if there's anything that could make a loud noise if dropped. Our compartment doesn't have a door, so if someone walks in briskly, we might not even notice."
"When it gets dark in the train at night, we'll put all these things at the door. That way, no matter who tries to sneak in, they'll be kicked, and we'll be able to spot them immediately."
"We need to prepare some weapons. There are no sticks or anything like that in the car, so we'll just have to make do with belts and shoe soles. They're pretty painful, and we can also use kettles and pots. To prevent the person from having a knife, put the blanket over their head first. While they're panicking, wrap them up completely and don't let them move their hands."
"Those who are stronger should try to hold him down, and those who are weaker should hurry out to call for help. Everyone knows there's a pervert, so he won't sleep soundly tonight. There will definitely be someone on guard. By then, if everyone in the car adds up, no matter how many there are, they won't be able to escape."
Passenger B slowly outlined his entire plan for the evening.
