After dinner, except for Jianshu, the three of them felt a little sleepy, so she volunteered to watch over the place in the afternoon and promised not to let anyone in.
Seeing that she was in good spirits, the three of them did not refuse. They were really a little sleepy. If they didn't pay attention now, how would they have the energy to keep watch at night?
Besides, it was broad daylight and there were people coming and going in the corridor, so there was no need to worry about anything happening. So after giving some instructions, everyone fell asleep.
Jianshu also stayed at home and took out a novel from his space to pass the time.
She wasn't afraid of being discovered. As someone who had come from school days, who wouldn't know how to cover a book? As for the contents, there was even less to worry about. Except when she was holding the book, she wouldn't let it appear anywhere else in the space.
However, she didn't read Jianshu for long. She still had some sequelae of hitting her head. She felt dizzy easily after reading for a long time, so she put the book into her space after reading for half an hour.
Without books to pass the time, she became even more bored. She played with her fingers, looked at her toenails, counted the people passing by in the corridor, and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Later, she became addicted to the scenery, so she climbed down from the bed, took out the camera she had just bought before the business trip, and took a lot of pictures outside the window.
For fear of waking up the sleeping people, I even ran to the corridor. In addition to the scenery photos, there are also many photos of life on the train. They are completely realistic and will slowly become memories decades later.
Zhou Xuemin, who was sleeping, woke up first. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Jianshu at the door.
After watching for a while, I found that she was taking pictures, so I didn't make any noise to disturb her. The same thing happened to Li Heping and Li Chunmei who woke up later.
So when Jianshu finished taking the photo and turned around, he found that the three people who were sleeping had woken up.
"When did you wake up? I didn't even notice." Jian Shu asked in surprise.
"You were so engrossed in taking pictures, how could you notice us?" Li Chunmei, who was closer to her, joked.
"No way, I didn't notice because you were so quiet. If you had gotten out of bed and walked around, I would have definitely noticed it." Jianshu retorted.
Although she was engrossed in taking pictures, she still remembered that she had promised to keep an eye on her luggage, so she kept an eye on it and noticed every time someone passed by.
Li Chunmei didn't care that she didn't get the joke. It was just a casual remark and no one paid attention to it.
At this moment, her attention has shifted to the camera in Jianshu's hand.
He frowned slightly, then said after a moment's hesitation, "It seems we need to be more alert tonight."
Zhou Xuemin nodded in agreement. "That's right. There are so many people in the corridor, and someone might notice us."
Jianshu looked at the camera in his hand and realized that his behavior was inappropriate.
When you're out and about, you should be careful not to show off your wealth. She's openly taking pictures in the corridor with her camera. Isn't that just shouting to those who might be interested: I'm a fat sheep! Come on, stupid people with lots of money!
In those days, only wealthy families could afford a camera. The cost of a camera was a minor issue; expensive film, like many people buying cars later in life, was something they could afford but couldn't afford to maintain.
After all, a camera is not a necessity in life. At worst, you can just not buy it. If you really want to take a photo, just spend some money to go to a photo studio.
Thinking of this, Jian Shu scratched his head embarrassedly and said with guilt: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I made everyone suffer."
"It's okay, it's okay. What's wrong with taking out the camera you bought and using it? Does it look good if you don't use it? You haven't done anything wrong. If there is anything wrong, it is the fault of those sneaky and cunning people who are always thinking about getting something for nothing." Li Chunmei spoke first.
"Comrade Chunmei is right. Comrade Jianshu, you don't have to blame yourself. It's not your fault that you have a camera, and it's even less your fault that you use a camera. You don't have to restrain yourself because of people's bad intentions." Zhou Xuemin also agreed.
Why wouldn't you blame the thief for his bad intentions, but blame the person involved for being rich? If we really have to be cautious about everything, then everyone should just be paupers. Why buy bicycles or watches? Let's just go back to primitive society.
"Don't worry, if a thief comes, I will beat him up." Li Heping did not say anything long, but a few concise words also showed his attitude.
Feeling the support of the three people, Jian Shu couldn't help but feel a little warm in her eyes. In fact, if she was alone, she wouldn't worry about these things. She was mainly worried about the guilt that had implicated others.
But she had never expected that they were all so open-minded. Having seen the victim-blaming theory in later generations, she really had no faith in other people's opinions.
After all, when something happens to a beautiful girl, there will be a large number of people attacking her, "It's your fault for wearing so little! You deserve it!" "Why did you drink? You deserve it!" "People who go out for supper in the early morning are not decent, they deserve it if something happens to them!" and so on, which are a series of suffocating words to listen to.
When something happens, we don’t blame the criminals but blame the victims. I don’t know if there is something wrong with the world or with us.
So Jianshu was really surprised by the three people's clarity of mind. After all, this incident was an unexpected disaster for the three of them. Even if they blamed her, she thought it was normal.
But they didn't.
This also made Jianshu feel even more guilty.
"If it weren't for me, the thief wouldn't have noticed us."
"Even if you weren't there, the thief might have noticed us. Even if you were there, the thief might not have noticed us. Before anything happens, these are just our guesses," Zhou Xuemin corrected.
"Okay, Xiaoshu, don't worry about it. Think about it in a positive way. We are two grown men here. I have learned a few tricks from you and I am quite strong. It will be no problem for us to deal with an ordinary person. If a thief really comes to our door, we can still get rid of him for the people." Li Chunmei put her hand on Jianshu's shoulder and said excitedly.
"I used to be a soldier." Li Heping said in a low voice.
"What a coincidence, I've been there too." Zhou Xuemin said with a smile.
Jianshu looked at them in surprise. Li Chunmei looked very excited; Li Heping was shy but also very tough; although Zhou Xuemin's smile was gentle, she always felt a murderous aura in it.
My goodness, they are all hiding their talents.
Including her, there are two professionals and two people who have learned it. If this thief really dares to come up, wouldn’t he be walking into a trap?
"What a coincidence! I also practiced with my uncle at home and I have pretty good strength." Jian Shu also said with a smile.
The four of them introduced themselves in turn, and after confirming that none of them were weak, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
"So, is it decided?"
"Can."
"OK."
"Um."
A silent decision was reached in just a few words.
