Chapter 211: Lost on the Road
Xiao Peng looked at the black man and shook his head.
The black man thought Xiao Peng didn't understand his language and made a gesture to Xiao Peng as if he was counting money: "One hundred and ten yuan! Let me use it! Damn it, don't you understand French? Why did you come to France if you don't understand French?"
The male staff member frowned: "Sir, please don't harass other passengers!"
"Shut up!" The black man widened his eyes: "We are friends, give me some more time! It will be here soon! Damn it, I'll get it myself!" After saying that, he reached out directly to Xiao Peng's suit. Xiao Peng didn't stop him. He directly took out Xiao Peng's wallet from the inner pocket on the chest of Xiao Peng's suit.
As soon as he took out Xiao Peng's wallet, he was stunned.
Xiao Peng's wallet is not a custom-made limited edition wallet with a sky-high price, but it is also a long wallet from Hermès' 'Bearn' series. Wallets in this series start at 1,000 euros, and the more expensive ones are 2,000 to 3,000 euros.
That's a really good price for a wallet.
The thickness of the wallet indicates that there is a lot of money inside.
He gasped when he opened it. The smallest denomination inside was 100 euros. How could this Chinese person be so rich?
Xiao Peng ignored him, looked up at the two staff members over there and said, "You can testify that I was robbed, right?"
Before the two train staff members could say anything, they heard a scream - the black man holding Xiao Peng's wallet was pushed to the ground from behind.
"Boss, what should we do with him?" The one who pinned the black man down was naturally Bruch. He took Xiao Peng's wallet back and handed it to Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "As long as you don't disturb my sleep, it's up to you. I'll just leave it to the police when we get off the train. Fare evasion is one thing, but robbery is another. Comrades, is it okay for me to do this?"
He didn't know what to call the two high-speed rail staff members, and even called them "comrade crew members".
The male flight attendant wanted to complain that we didn't have that name, but after looking at Bruch, he swallowed and said, "Well, sir, thank you for helping us with this matter."
The black man was screaming, "You racists, I'm going to sue you! Be a little quieter!"
Bruch frowned slightly and pressed the black man's neck with his knee. The black man opened his mouth and screamed, and Bruch stuffed an unopened can on the table directly into the black man's mouth!
Fortunately, it was a long and thin bottle, but even so, everyone felt a chill on their scalp just looking at it.
Bruch asked the staff member, "Sir, can I use the restroom?"
"Yes, sure, sure!" The two staff members just nodded.
I saw Bruch dragging the black man directly to the bathroom. I heard a few "bang bang" sounds and then the sound of running water from the faucet. Then I saw Bruch coming out wiping his hands with a tissue.
"Don't worry, he won't cause any trouble before the train arrives in Paris. By the way, you guys want to check the tickets, right?" Bruch asked the staff.
The two staff members shook their heads together: "We are just spot checking!"
Bruch frowned. "Random check? So you mean only check my boss and that black guy?"
The male staff member was almost in tears. What did he say? Did I scare you into not checking my ticket? He couldn't admit that. If he did, he would be a real racist. He hurriedly said, "Sir, please give me your ticket so I can check it!"
Xiao Peng waved his hand: "Bruch, don't make things difficult for others, they are just working! Never bully people who work hard! Okay, no one, don't disturb my sleep!"
The female staff member blinked and said, "Sir, do you need a blanket?"
Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "That would be great if you do! Thank you!"
He was still sighing that this was worthy of being a first-class cabin. Wasn't the service almost the same as on an airplane?
But after a while, when he saw the blanket, he suddenly realized that it was clearly the female staff member's own belonging, and there was a note with a phone number inside.
"Forehead......"
Xiao Peng decisively stuffed the note into the gap between the seats and hid it.
That woman, while in great shape, looked at least forty years old! Even the most delicate makeup couldn't hide the crow's feet around her eyes. Xiao Peng was also a common man. Although interesting souls were rare, he still liked good looks.
Go to bed quickly!
He didn't know how long he slept, but he felt the train had stopped. He stretched and opened his eyes: "The train has stopped? Are we there yet? Why didn't you call me?"
Pascal gave him a wry smile and said, "Xiao, welcome to the French high-speed train!"
Xiao Peng was stunned: "What? It's late?"
French high-speed train delays are nothing new; French trains are notoriously unreliable. Here, a delay of less than 30 minutes isn't considered late and there's no compensation. About a quarter of all high-speed trains are delayed.
Of course, this is much better than the overall situation in Europe! In other European countries, trains only offer compensation if they are one hour late.
Pascal shook his head. "It will definitely be late. The question now is how late."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Pascal explained, "Just now the train announced that there was a technical malfunction and they were trying to connect several other cars at this station. As a result, those cars were on platform one and the train entered platform three. We're waiting for them to resolve the issue! Oh, and the robber has been taken away by the police."
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded. "How could something like this happen? This railway company must be idiots, right? How did they dispatch the trains?"
Pascal pulled out a deck of cards and said, "Calm down! Since you're taking the train, you have to put up with the French railway department's stupidity. It's just that waiting is so boring! Don't sleep anymore, get up and let's play poker. You teach Deborah and Bruch how to play Landlord. The Wi-Fi on the train is broken too! We're dying of boredom!"
"The WiFi is broken?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened. "Oh my god, this is a disaster!"
This really wasn't China. Back in China, if there was no Wi-Fi on the train, you could just use your mobile data. But where was this? France! Outside the city, there was a field of hope. There weren't many network base stations here. Outside the city, the mobile network signal was always a despairing "E." The speed was enough to drive people crazy.
Xiao Peng took the poker and was about to speak when the train suddenly made a "duang" sound and shook, startling Xiao Peng.
A short while later, a train announcement began: "Because the track ahead is blocked by another train, we will now change our route, first going back to Domel and then on to Paris. Passengers can enjoy more beautiful scenery along the way. I hope everyone can have a good time."
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded. What the hell? And he was still in a good mood?
Brother, do you think I look like the male lead in Lost on Journey?
It's really French.
