After dinner, Jianshu pretended to take out two cans of yellow peaches from his luggage.
"When I was packing my luggage, I realized that I had put two cans of food in there at some point. It's perfect. Let's divide them up while we have the chance. Hey, don't refuse. Not only do these cans take up space, they're also very heavy. I don't want to have to carry them with me when I get off the bus." Jianshu put the cans on the table with a "bang".
Before anyone could say no, Jian Shu said, "After we finish the cans, the glass bottles are still useful, right?"
After saying that, he winked at the ground.
The few people who originally wanted to refuse saw her eyes, their eyes flashed, and they swallowed their words of refusal.
"In that case, we'll benefit from it today," Zhou Xuemin said with a smile.
Li Heping and Li Chunmei also nodded slightly in agreement.
Seeing that no one refused, Jianshu breathed a sigh of relief.
Today's incident was caused by her, and although no one blamed her, and she later came up with an idea, and perhaps even gained something unexpected, she couldn't feel at ease or even think that what she did was right.
They didn't blame her and wouldn't ask for compensation, so she could only give back a little within her ability.
This can of food came at the perfect time.
Jianshu handed one of the cans in his hand to Zhou Xuemin, opened the other one himself, and asked Li Chunmei to share it with him.
Several people sat together, eating canned food and discussing their plans for the evening in a low voice.
When night fell, everyone returned to their compartments and the corridor gradually became quiet.
Jianshu and the others looked at each other in the dark and silently made preparations.
As time passed, the moon quietly climbed up to the treetops, but the floating and moving clouds were like a naughty child, running back and forth, blocking the bright moon from time to time, and then scattering away after a moment, as if playing hide-and-seek with it.
Under the cover of night, a train "clatters" across the vast land. From a distance, it looks like a giant dragon. In the long carriages, people, some sleeping, some alert, and some sleepy, all stay in their seats motionless.
Except - some people with ulterior motives.
In the carriage filled with snoring and teeth grinding sounds, several thin people, who were indistinguishable as men or women, sneaked in at some point.
They all have one thing in common: they are agile and have light steps.
The time on the watch was ticking away. It was three o'clock in the morning, the time when people were most tired. Even if I forced myself to stay awake, I couldn't help feeling drowsy and sleepy.
This also gives those who are interested an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The whistling of the wind outside the window and the "click-click" sound of the train effectively masked the friction between the cloth shoes and the ground, and the subtle sound was almost inaudible.
The naughty clouds once again covered the moon's eyes, the moonlight was blocked, and the carriage became dark again.
The sudden darkness made all those who were interested pause. Then they were delighted, haha, God is really helping me!
In such a dark environment, even if you stand face to face, you can't see their faces clearly. After they succeed, even if they are discovered, they can easily blend into the crowd. In this way, who can find them?
It seems that God has destined them to get rich today.
Thinking of this, several people became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Then one person took the lead, and the others followed closely behind. They held their breath and walked towards the target quietly.
In a certain compartment, Jianshu moved his ears slightly and extracted key information from the chaotic sounds.
——The fish is hooked.
She had been resting with her eyes closed, but suddenly she opened them and sat up from the bed as nimbly as a cat.
I knocked lightly on the bedside railing. The soft "ding" sound was inconspicuous in the room with the windows wide open, but it was enough for some people who were paying special attention.
In the darkness, several people adjusted their postures, their breathing slowing to create a sleepy atmosphere. Then they gently changed their postures, took up their long-prepared weapons, and prepared to strike.
A pitch-black environment is the best place to hide.
The jar is ready, just waiting for the turtle to come in.
In the corridor, several people who didn't know they had become turtles had arrived at the door of the cubicle.
Whether out of caution or something else, they stopped at the door, hiding in the darkness, and did not make the next move for a long time.
Inside the compartment, the four people who had waited for a long time but still did not see their target, their breathing remained steady, without any fluctuations, just like a person who was truly asleep, without noticing anything wrong.
Even Li Chunmei, who had the least patience, had long been taught by her companions to wait.
Moreover, those who seek wealth have been at a disadvantage from the very beginning. Is it more patience? It seems that the outcome was doomed from the beginning.
Not long after, Jianshu, who was ready to go, heard light footsteps. Until the person walked to the middle of the compartment, she only heard the footsteps of one person.
It seems that this is just a pathfinder.
The turtle hasn't completely entered the jar yet.
She pretended to turn over gently, and the loud noise instantly startled the person who came. Even the few people left at the door stopped and prepared to run away at any time.
The visitor's heart beat violently for a few breaths, but he couldn't resist the urge to run away. Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. If they did this, they might get rich.
Besides, maybe it was just a simple turnaround? He was unwilling to give up such a big fat sheep, and the boss was also unhappy.
Without hearing the retreat signal from the door, the visitor knew the boss's decision.
After waiting for a while to make sure there was no movement, he began to move.
In the dark environment, Jianshu couldn't see his movements clearly. He could only judge his approximate position and posture by the sound of his footsteps and the friction of his clothes.
Closing his eyes and simulating his movements in his mind, Jianshu determined his first target.
——Zhou Xuemin.
Without any hesitation, he went straight to Zhou Xuemin. Did he believe Li Chunmei's nonsense in the afternoon and regarded him as the big brother of the group?
But there is some truth to it. As the eldest brother, when the parents are not around, he is naturally the one in charge of the family.
Since the whole family is going out, it is most likely that the valuables are left with him.
I guess by the afternoon they had already figured out the location of their beds and the distribution of items in the compartments.
I guess he's been hanging around the door all afternoon.
