It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in Jiangzhou, the provincial capital. It was almost the Chinese New Year. Train tickets were very tight. It took three days to get tickets. We were lucky. We happened to meet an old couple who wanted to refund their tickets due to physical reasons. In the evening
The soft sleeper train departed at eight o'clock and would arrive in Xiangxi at ten o'clock the next morning. In order to not have to wait three days in Jiangzhou City before departure, I gritted my teeth and bought the ticket from this old couple.
Coffin Chen was very reliable in his work. Not only did he change his clothes, he even got his ID card. He treated me like a brother and sister along the way.
Time passed quickly, and around 7:40, we got on the bus and found our own bunk. There were a lot of people on the bus and it seemed crowded.
Coffin and I shared two lower bunks. Not long after, two young men and women came in. The man was dressed very fancy, with hair dyed in colorful highlights, a fluorescent yellow down jacket, black tight leather pants, and brown crocodile leather shoes.
It looked like a colorful bird. The girl followed him, holding a child who was only a few months old in her arms. She also carried a large backpack on her back. She was wearing a long white down jacket and her long hair was casual.
Tucked up behind her head, she is very beautiful, with delicate facial features, and there is a faint shadow of Coffin Xiaohui, but her big eyes are not as lively and agile as Coffin Xiaohui, and her face has a bit of sadness, and a bit of sadness.
Be careful.
At a glance, I saw a ray of bright white light flashing on this girl's face, which was the light of merit described in the "Shengyuan Heavenly Book". Involuntarily, I had a good impression of this girl.
The child in the girl's arms kept crying. The boy looked impatient and climbed to one of the upper bunks, ignoring the girl.
Coffin Chen looked at the child in the girl's arms, stood up and said coldly to the girl: "You can lie down on my seat, I'll go to the upper bunk."
The girl was a little at a loss for a while, and then she said after a long time: "I will be very careful not to let the child disturb you!" After saying that, she continued to hug the child in her arms to the upper bunk.
"It's more convenient for you to take the child and lie down on the bunk!" Coffin Chen still had an ice face, stood up and climbed onto the upper bunk.
The girl stood in front of the bunk for a moment, and then carefully sat down for a long time. However, she looked up at the top of the bunk from time to time, with an uneasy look on her face.
"Just lie there, my brother just looks a little stinky, but he's a nice guy!" I comforted the girl, "Do you need my help?"
"Oh, oh, thank you! I can do it myself!" Then she sat down with peace of mind, carefully placed the child in her arms on the bed, then took off the huge backpack on her back, and took out an empty milk bottle from it.
.
The child was still crying, and his voice was a little hoarse. The colorful bird man stuck his head out of my head and shouted: "Can you tell him to stop crying? I will be disturbed to death!"
The girl looked a little panicked and looked at the boy cautiously and said: "Xiaojun, the child is probably a little hungry. Can you help me take care of him for a while? I will get some hot water to make milk powder. When he is full, he will
Do not cry."
"It's really troublesome! Can't you just put it on the bed and go straight away? I'm a big living person here, who would take him away!" The colorful bird man named Xiaojun said angrily, and picked up the
The phone started to play games on its own.
The girl's lips moved, she reached out to pick up the child and put it down again. She looked up at Xiaojun, but in the end she didn't say anything more. She turned around and took out a water bottle from her backpack, picked it up and prepared to go out, but then came back a little uneasy.
Go to the bed and reach out to hug the child who is still crying.
"Let me hold you for a while!" I stood up and reached out to her and said proactively.
The girl was stunned and looked at me for a second or two, as if to make sure I didn't look like a bad person. Then she picked up the child and handed it to me. She said with a grateful face: "I'll get the water and I'll be back soon. It'll be quick."
,Thank you, little sister."
I took the child from her hand, smiled and said, "It's okay, go ahead!"
The strange thing is that when the baby was in my arms, he stopped crying. He looked at me curiously with his big black eyes, and stretched out a chubby little hand to touch my face. It was really cute that way.
I stretched out a finger to touch his face, but his little hand grabbed it, pulled it and brought it to my mouth. I giggled happily while pulling it back.
The moment my fingers touched the child's hand, I was stunned. A numb and itchy electric current came from my fingertips, with a slight chill.
I lowered my head and looked carefully at the child's brows, and sure enough, there was a faint wisp of black energy lingering around it.
Why does this child have the aura of a yin spirit?
I couldn't help but be a little surprised. I quickly opened the child's palms and soles and took a closer look. Sure enough, they all had a hint of blackness. No wonder the child was crying so hard.
"Hu Ling, don't meddle in other people's business!" The sound of coffin suddenly came to my ears. I looked up at him. He was lying on the bed and looking at me from the side. His lips didn't move. It turned out that he was using the sound transmission method.
method, it seems that he has long discovered that something is wrong with this child.
I couldn't gather my energy yet, so I couldn't talk to him in the same way, so I could only look at him with a puzzled look on my face.
"The man on your upper bunk should be the father of this child. He is not a simple character. We are going to Xiangxi to find someone this time. Don't meddle in other matters." Coffin said seriously.
Xiaojun is the child's father? Why is he so indifferent to this child? I can't believe it, but considering Coffen Chen's moral character, he shouldn't be wrong.
Judging from the child's appearance, there is just some ghostly aura about him, but that thing doesn't seem to be intending to harm the child. Since Coffin Chen said that the child's father is not a simple person, no matter how indifferent he is, he should not see anything happen to his child.
in spite of.
Soon, the girl came back. I teased the child and pretended to ask casually: "Sister, is this your child? So cute!"
The girl was a little shy, shook the bottle in her hand, stretched out her hand to me and said, "It's quite heavy, let me hold it! His name is Zhezhe, and I am his mother, my name is Tong Qianqian." After a pause, she continued.
He cooed at Xiaojun's bed and said, "His name is Qian Xiaojun, he is..."
"Hey, why are you such a talkative woman? Do you know people very well? Register your household registration when you meet someone?" Before Tong Qianqian finished speaking, Qian Xiaojun looked up from the game angrily and shouted at her
He yelled and glanced at Coffin Chen's bed with some fear from the corner of his eyes.
"Wow -" As soon as the child reached Tong Qianqian's arms, he was frightened by Qian Xiaojun's roar and started to cry again with a "Wow" sound.
"Oh, Zhezhe, be good, stop crying, can we drink from grandma?" Tong Qianqian coaxed Zhezhe, smiled apologetically at me, and put the bottle spout to Zhezhe's mouth.
Zhezhe bit the pacifier in one bite, continued to cry twice, and began to suck heavily. Tong Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the bed with her baby in her arms.
"Sister Qianqian, my name is Hu Ling." I pointed to the coffin on her upper bunk and said, "He is my brother, his name is Hu Chen." In order to avoid explaining too much, I deliberately changed the coffin.
surname.
"You two brothers and sisters are so handsome!" Tong Qianqian said, "Are you also going back to Xiangxi to celebrate the New Year?"
I nodded noncommittally, "Well, let's go find a friend!"
I'm not very good at chatting, and Qian Xiaojun seemed to be wary of Tong Qianqian having too much contact with us, so he glared at her from time to time. The atmosphere that followed was a bit awkward, and no one said anything. This chapter has been completed!
