Chapter 34
After Weisheng called the police, the train police passed by Weisheng's carriage twice more frequently than before. However, to avoid alerting the suspect, the train police who passed by on these two occasions were either holding a lunch box or a bag of apples.
In addition, when Weisheng went to the dining car for lunch, the train conductor told him the news. There was indeed a man named Xiao Weiguo in the Shacheng Military Region, but Xiao Weiguo was not in the Shacheng Military Region at the time. Instead, he was participating in the military competition.
Therefore, they still need to further confirm whether the enthusiastic old lady on the train is Xiao Weiguo's mother.
The train police, however, took Weisheng's call very seriously and made careful arrangements. Not only would officers from the Shacheng Police Station take over the case upon disembarking, but they would also have train police on board at the next stop, acting as passengers to protect Weisheng and the other two.
Seeing this, Weisheng breathed a sigh of relief. Then, carrying the food he had prepared for Yu Tao's sister-in-law, he again, out of sight of her, glared at the enthusiastic old lady. After waking up that afternoon and learning that Yu Tao and the other woman had agreed to leave the train station with the enthusiastic old lady, he looked at her with a look of venom in his eyes.
Although he looked like he was not willing to refute the decision of his aunt and sister-in-law, Weisheng still argued for the idea of staying in the guesthouse.
The enthusiastic old lady wanted to say something, but was afraid of pushing the other person too far, so she said something like let Weisheng and the other two stay in the guesthouse tonight, and let her son go to the guesthouse to pick them up and bring them home for dinner tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, Weisheng immediately responded, "I have relatives in Shacheng, and since I've come all this way through Shacheng, I have to go visit them. Let's wait for Comrade Xiao to get his connecting train tickets, and then we can treat you and Comrade Xiao to a meal at the state-owned hotel."
Without waiting for the enthusiastic old lady to say anything, Yu Tao quickly agreed.
In Yu Tao's opinion, since someone helped them get the connecting train tickets, it was only right for them to treat them to a meal as a thank you.
"All right, all right." The enthusiastic old lady didn't refuse. Instead, she smiled and said to Tao, "Seeing you is like seeing my daughter. If she were still alive, she would be the same age as you now."
Wei Sheng snorted coldly when he heard this, as if he still had something to rely on. Seeing this, the enthusiastic old lady smiled at Wei Sheng kindly, looking calm.
The train was late and didn't arrive in Shacheng until around 10:00. Weisheng and the other two packed up their luggage and followed the other passengers getting off the train at that station.
The enthusiastic old lady also followed Weisheng and the other two with her small cloth bag.
The fresh and cool air outside the train instantly swept away his sleepiness. Weisheng, like everyone else, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then shivered involuntarily.
On the night of the 21st day of the first lunar month, one can still feel chilled to the core.
"mother!"
At this moment, Weisheng and the other two saw a man in his twenties jogging towards them and waving his arms.
Although she wasn't a qualified military wife, she had been with the army for decades in her previous life. Not to mention what a veteran soldier should be like, she had even seen a lot of new recruits assigned to the kitchen squad.
At this time, Weisheng squinted his eyes and looked at the young man running towards him. Seeing that he was panting, standing in an untidy posture, and did not have the slightest posture that one should have after years of military service, he instantly became more certain that his suspicion was correct.
But it has to be said that even in the future when everyone installs anti-fraud apps, there are still many cases where bad people take advantage of the public's trust in soldiers and impersonate soldiers to commit fraud and kidnapping.
Compared to later generations, the green uniforms worn by soldiers at this time were a popular fashion across the country. Both soldiers and civilians could wear them. Because they were thick, durable, and the color was just right, Dan Xingchen wore a green uniform underneath his cotton coat.
The only difference is that ordinary people will not salute others when wearing this outfit.
Watching 'Xiao Weiguo' salute the three of them, Weisheng mentally cursed him for being a complete idiot. Yu Tao smiled shyly, enjoying the term 'sister-in-law' and feeling a bit proud. Meanwhile, the inexperienced Shan Xingchen blushed at the sight of the tall, handsome Xiao Weiguo.
There was a state-owned guesthouse not far from the train station. After leaving the station, Xiao Weiguo and his mother sent Weisheng and the other two there, claiming it was on their way. Leaning against the front desk, watching Yu Tao and her sister-in-law politely escort them out of the guesthouse, Weisheng briefly hoped they would be abducted tonight.
Sooner or later, you will have to experience the dangers of society, so the sooner you experience it, the sooner you can enjoy it.

They still requested a room. Since Shacheng was the provincial capital, this room also had a separate bathroom. Seeing this, Weisheng urged the three of them to wash up properly. After the two of them finished their showers, Weisheng began to clean himself.
Before taking a shower, go back to your space and throw your clothes into the washing machine. When you’re done, your clothes will be washed. Take out the clothes that were spun dry but not dried from your space and hang them in the room to dry.
When Yu Tao's sister-in-law saw Weisheng washing the clothes, she also realized it and took the clothes she had worn in the past two days to the bathroom to wash them. Then, at Weisheng's suggestion, she wrapped the clothes in a dry towel and wrung them out.
After checking the room lock one last time, they pushed the chair in the room against the door panel, and then put their luggage on the chair. Only then did Weisheng and the other two go to bed.
Weisheng slept until noon and was still lying in bed when there was a knock on the door.
Hearing the knock on the door, Weisheng quickly got up and put on his clothes, while Yu Tao asked through the door who it was. After hearing that it was Xiao Weiguo, Yu Tao and Shan Xingchen went to see Weisheng.
Weisheng whispered to Shan Xingchen, asking her to shout "Wait a moment." Then he looked at the aunt and sister-in-law and said seriously, "As the saying goes, those who show kindness without any reason are either treacherous or thieves. You should be more cautious when you're out and about. I'm just asking you, why did these two women use their connections to buy connecting train tickets for strangers? And who else did you see that old lady being so attentive to on the train these past two days?"
We met by chance, and we may not see each other again. My status as a military dependent is not enough to make people treat me differently."
In reality, Weisheng meant that the village would take care of military families, but if Yu Tao hadn't been the village chief's daughter-in-law, her status as a military wife wouldn't have been so high. But considering that she would have to live in the village for a while, and that she and Yu Tao were about to part ways, there was no need to say such harsh truths.
After Weisheng finished speaking, he looked at his aunt and sister-in-law who were still hoping for luck and didn't care about his words, and finally said, "I won't be going out for a while. If you ask me, you can say: I went out to visit my relatives early in the morning.
Don't bring too much money with you. If they can give you the connecting train tickets today, bring someone back to the guesthouse to get the money. Then the three of us will treat them and their mother to a nice meal at a state-owned restaurant as a thank you gift."
After saying that, Weisheng hid in the bathroom.
Yu Tao and Shan Xingchen looked at each other, quickly tidied themselves, opened the door and went out.
After a while, Yu Tao came in again, whispered something in Weisheng's ear, then picked up her and Shan Xingchen's cotton-padded jackets and left with Xiao Weiguo.
Xiao Weiguo said the enthusiastic old lady had killed a chicken early in the morning and prepared some home-cooked dishes, and asked Xiao Weiguo to pick up Weisheng and the other two for a home-cooked meal. Xiao Weiguo also said that his friend who worked at the train station was his neighbor, and since he was on vacation, he invited him to his house and asked for help at the dinner table.
…
After Weisheng and others left, he took out a reversible military coat and put it on.
After putting on an inconspicuous cotton hat and a pair of ugly, black glasses, he finally put the three women's luggage into the space and walked out of the guest room with the demeanor of a farmer.
Thankfully, there aren’t so many means of transportation in this era, otherwise Weisheng wouldn’t be able to follow Yu Tao and the other two from a distance without being discovered.
Well, it should be said that it was fortunate that this era was relatively backward, and Xiao Weiguo, who came to pick up people, had to rely on his own legs to go to and from the guesthouse.
It was not only Weisheng who followed Yu Tao's sister-in-law, there were two other groups of people between Xiao Weiguo and Weisheng.
One group of people followed the three men obediently, while another group played and fought along the way, sometimes in front of Xiao Weiguo and the other two, and sometimes behind them.
After walking for about half an hour, just when Weisheng began to wonder how far their destination was, Xiao Weiguo and Yu Tao stopped in front of a courtyard that was unremarkable, even commonplace.
He knocked on the gate a few times first, and after waiting for a response from inside, Xiao Weiguo turned around with a smile and said that he smelled the aroma of stewed chicken.
Yu Tao and the other person first looked down at the snacks and canned food they had bought when they passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, and felt a little relieved.
It's so rude to visit someone empty-handed.
At one moment, the enthusiastic old lady opened the gate, wiped her hands with the apron around her waist, and welcomed them in with a smile.
After entering the house, the enthusiastic old lady asked them to sit on the kang, and she returned to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Yu Tao and Shan Xingchen both wanted to help, but the food was almost ready, so they just stood in the kitchen and chatted with the enthusiastic old lady.
As they were talking, another man and woman came. Hearing that they were a couple and both worked at the train station, Yu Tao and the others thought that they were the people who could help them get train tickets.
Yu Tao and Shan Xingchen finally took Wei Sheng's words to heart. When they ate, they would pick up whatever others were eating. Fortunately, in this era, supplies were scarce, and no one was willing to put anything in the food.
The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal very much. But when it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Tao and the others stood up to say goodbye, but were covered with towels filled with food by people who were prepared.
The more they struggled, the more drugs they breathed in. Under extreme fear, the aunt and sister-in-law quickly lost the ability to resist.
The police officers who had jumped in along the courtyard wall a long time ago saw the situation inside through the glass window. They thought to themselves that they were sharp-eyed and vigilant, while being ready to rush in at any time.
Weisheng hoped that the aunt and nephew would suffer a little and learn their lesson, while the police wanted to wipe them out in one fell swoop, so neither side rushed in at the first time.
Of course, Weisheng didn't dare to get too close, not knowing that this aunt and sister-in-law had already witnessed the dangers of the world.
Weisheng knew there were police officers over there, so he just stared at the yard from afar. As dusk approached, Xiao Weiguo changed his clothes and left. Not long after, he returned pushing a manure cart.
A few minutes later, the enthusiastic old lady and two strangers pushed Yu Tao's sister-in-law, whose hands and feet were tied and her mouth was gagged, into the mezzanine of the excrement truck.
Even though he knew it must be clean inside, Weisheng was still disgusted.
Everything else is fine, but after Tao and Shan Xingchen are rescued, I must tell them the truth about this...
