At 11:30 p.m., Zhou Wenzhong and Ma Erbao, wrapped in torn bath towels, lay on the bed in the bath to rest.

"Hiss... Huh... I'll probably lose 3 or 4 pounds this time after taking a bath."

"That's right! The bath master told me that I haven't seen anyone like you in years! You don't even need a bath towel. The mud on your body rolls up and falls off. How long has it been since you took a bath?"

"Since I can remember, I have never been in a bathhouse. The last time I took a bath was when I splashed twice in the river in the summer."

Ma Erbao held a big steamed bun in his left hand, and picked up the chopsticks in his right hand to put some shredded pickles in it.

"Brother Zhong, please rest first. I have to return the favor. I'll just have a steamed bun in a while."

"Hmm~"

Zhou Wenzhong looked at Ma Erbao's back as he ran out, and praised, "Not bad, he's sensible."

Just as I picked up the tea cup and took a sip, two people came from the door. One was a staff member in the bathhouse, and the other was a man who had been sent to the department store to pick up clothes. He was carrying a thin hemp rope that tied up the clothes.

.

"Where is Zhou Wenzhong? Someone is looking for you! Zhou Wenzhong, Zhou Wenzhong!"

"coming!"

Zhou Wenzhong clapped his hands, picked up the cigarette, and walked over barefoot.

"Take a good look. Is this the person you are looking for?"

Wobo looked at Zhou Wenzhong carefully and said, "It's him. He didn't get a haircut just now, so I almost didn't recognize him. Fortunately, I recognized his voice."

"Come on, come on, smoke one piece, smoke one piece."

After giving them a cigarette and giving Wobo a dime, Zhou Wenzhong took the clothes, walked back to the bed, sat down, and patted the dirt on the soles of his feet. Looking at the receipt in his hand, Zhou Wenzhong was happy.

Open your mouth from ear to ear.

"Lao Zhou is really bleeding this time! The cotton coat costs 28 yuan. The cotton pants are 12 yuan. A pair of five-eye cotton shoes is 1 yuan and 9 cents. This sweater is 9 yuan. A pair of pants is 8 cents. A pair.

Woolen socks cost 6 cents. What is written on the receipt are ready-made clothes. I guess Lao Zhou can’t afford it with two months’ salary, haha..."

"Why is it so high-end... Huh! Cotton coat! Come and take a look at it."

Ma Erbao didn't wait for a reply. He picked up the cotton coat and shook it open. He held it between his neck and looked at the hem of the coat hanging at his knees.

"Good boy! We can only buy one piece with our monthly salary. Who is Zhou Deming? He's really good to you! If I go to the department store to buy something later, will it be helpful to mention his name?"

"I guess it won't work. Zhou Deming has nothing to do with me."

"It's okay to buy you such expensive clothes? Even a dog wouldn't believe it."

"Believe it or not, eat it quickly. It will be cold in a while."

Ma Erbao folded his coat with envy in his eyes, put it carefully on the bed, picked up the steamed bun, gnawed on it, and started to comment on the cotton pants and shoes.

"I'll give you a pair of cotton shoes later."

"real?"

The wotou in Ma Erbao's hand fell to the ground, so he quickly picked it up and blew the soil on it.

"Really, I'll give it to you as promised. Just a pair of cotton shoes."

"Brother Zhong... I don't even know what to say. I should have known you earlier. Don't say anything. I will take you to a good place in a while! You must go!"

"Where?"

"You'll know when you go there."

"You kid is still cheating on me."

"Hey, it's boring to say it. You'll come with me in a moment. I guarantee you haven't seen it before! It's an absolutely great place!"

"Then I really have to wait and see!"

Ma Erbao was so excited that the food almost spit out from his mouth. Zhou Wenzhong put on his underpants for the first time, lay flat on the bed, buttoned his nose and wiped it under the bed board, and fell asleep with his coat covered...

Not knowing what time it was, Zhou Wenzhong was woken up from his sleep by Ma Erbao.

"Let's go! It's almost time. If I keep you sleeping like this, will you be able to sleep at night?"

Zhou Wenzhong sat up and stared for a while, then changed into new clothes from the inside out.

Ma Erbao neatly folded the clothes that had been washed but not yet dried, and tied them with hemp ropes, not forgetting to criticize Zhou Wenzhong.

"I told you just now that I won't let you wash it like this. The cotton-padded jacket and trousers can't be exposed to water at all. Just wash them with sand and soil. Is it okay now? You can feel what the cloth on it is like. I'll let you wash it like this again.

Once, you definitely have to make clothes again. After you go back, remember to hang the clothes up to dry, spray some more water in your mouth, and stretch the clothes more to avoid shrinkage. If it doesn't work, just wash it with some fine grain pulp. The cloth can also be thicker.

.well……"

"Why are you nagging so much? Put on your new shoes, let's walk?"

"I won't wear them anymore. My brother's shoe size is the same. Let him take it with him when he goes to the countryside later."

"Okay, it's your thing anyway."

"Let's go?"

"Let's go."

Zhou Wenzhong was carrying a heavy baggage in his hand, and the two of them got out of the bath again. When the breeze blew, Zhou Wenzhong felt a chill on his head.

"Then, you stand here and wait for a while. I saw my former classmate and went over to say a few words to him."

"good."

Zhou Wenzhong ran quickly into the alley and returned half a minute later, throwing a pair of cotton shoes to Ma Erbao.

"Where's the thing in your hand just now?"

"I asked him to help me take it home."

"Oh, what's your classmate's last name? As long as he's from this street, if you tell me, I might even know him."

"Jiumozhi."

"This surname is quite rare. You are not a local, right?"

"Well, a comrade from Tibet."

"No wonder you know a little bit about everything. It's not easy to love your classmates."

"Hey, great national unity! Let's not talk about him anymore. Take me to the good place you mentioned!"

"Okay, come with me."

Zhou Wenzhong stood up the collar of his coat and put his hands in his pockets.

This black cotton coat is very lively. It can be worn as a long gown after removing the lining. It can be removed and washed separately. After traveling through time for so long, I finally got a piece of clothing with pockets.

After following Ma Erbao for nearly an hour, Zhou Wenzhong looked at the railroad tracks under his feet with some confusion.

"Where are we going? You won't take me to steal the railroad tracks, will you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Stealing railroad tracks is punishable by shooting!"

"It's not okay to steal sleepers!"

"The more you talk, the more nonsense you are getting. It's about to happen, it's a two-step process."

"That's what you said half an hour ago."

"We'll be there soon, we'll be there soon. Keep holding on... there's a train coming!"

Zhou Wenzhong quickly lay down on the ground and listened, watching the pebbles beating next to the sleepers in the railway track.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way."

Zhou Wenzhong pushed Ma Erbao away, put his hand into his coat pocket, took out the 10 long iron nails that he had signed in a few days ago, placed them diagonally on the railway track, and grabbed Ma Erbao's hand that was hiding aside.

In the hay.

"Brother Zhong, where did you get the nails? Give me one after you finish pressing it."

"Don't talk nonsense. Let's stay away. When the train comes over in a while, it might kill us both."

Zhou Wenzhong's heart was pounding with excitement, and he pulled Ma Erbao away for another 30 meters. He didn't know what kind of steel or iron the nails given to him were, and he couldn't figure out which one was stronger, the rails or the nails.

I haven’t played with these things in years!

According to the law decades later, Zhou Wenzhong's behavior was regarded as damaging highway facilities and he must be sentenced. Thanks to the slow speed of trains these days, things such as wine bottle caps, nails, and coins could be put on them.

It will cause the train to derail and roll over.

If it were replaced by a high-speed train with a speed of 299 kilometers per hour, an accident would probably occur.

Besides, what's wrong with putting a nail on the rail? If you want to arrest him, you have to arrest Luo Xiang first. He did this when he was a child. He also thought about pulling out the rail and letting the train run over it. In his understanding

Here, Luo Xiang thought he could get a sword in this way. Life these days without playing with railroad tracks would be incomplete!

"Bangchi...bangchi...bangchi..."

A black train rushed past, kicking up a burst of dust. Watching the black smoke train go further and further away. Zhou Wenzhong quickly touched his body for any wounds, and even checked with Ma Erbao.

"It's okay. Hurry up and take a look."
