This coughing sound seemed to remind them that they should keep quiet in the carriage.
Biaozi rolled his eyes towards the upper bunk and mouthed: "I'm sick!"
He also stretched out a finger in a deliberately funny way and moved it in circles close to his temple, as if to say that the old man was not normal.
Everyone covered their mouths to stifle laughter and almost started to make a scene again.
Wei Tu cleared his throat and spoke: "Okay, everyone, please keep your voices down so as not to affect others' normal rest."
The originally noisy carriage suddenly became much quieter. The group of people enjoyed their leisure time on the journey by eating melon seeds and reading books.
Soon, two unfamiliar figures caught Tang Xiaosan's attention.
He deliberately approached everyone and lowered his voice: "The two people outside have appeared at the door several times."
Wei Tu immediately glanced out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough, there were two men sitting on the chairs at the door of the private room.
At this time, the two of them were constantly looking inside, their eyes focusing on the strange old man on the upper bunk from time to time.
Biaozi and Jiang Hao turned to look, which aroused each other's alert. They stood up and left pretending to be calm.
"Those two guys look like thieves!" Biaozi broke off an orange and stuffed it into his mouth.
Jiang Hao nodded: "It looks similar to me, are they targeting us?"
Biaozi was happy, hooked his arm on his shoulder, and acted like he would suffer a loss if he didn't listen to the old man's words.
"What did I say before we got in the car? Why did you laugh at me then?! Look, my words have come true!"
"Okay, stop making trouble!"
Wei Tu interrupted their conversation: "I just took a glance and saw who those two men were targeting!"
"Who are you targeting?" Jiang Yun looked at him doubtfully.
Wei Tu didn't say anything, but instead stretched out his hand and pointed towards the upper bunk. Everyone immediately understood that the two thieves were targeting the strange old man!
Jiang Hao said: "What should we do next? Ignore it? We brothers are all good young people in the new era. We cannot bow to evil forces!"
Biaozi slapped him hard: "I don't see that your consciousness is quite high!"
Tang Xiaosan raised his shoulders: "Okay! I'm talking about you! We brothers will have a good meeting with those two guys later!"
As time passed, it was already approaching noon, and more and more people were coming and going in the carriage. Some were going to use the water toilet, and some were going to the dining car together.
Biaozi, Jiang Hao, and Tang Xiaosan were sent to the dining car to help everyone buy lunch boxes.
Only Wei Tu, Jiang Yun, and the strange old man on the upper bunk were left in the private room.
Jiang Yun raised her head to drink water and happened to see the two thieves.
She leaned close to Wei Tu's ear and whispered: "Brother Tu, the two men just now are here again!"
Wei Tu felt his ears were numb and numb as if there was an electric shock, and the tips of his ears turned red unconsciously.
He took a deep breath and calmed down. Just as he was about to take a look outside, he saw the strange old man on the upper bunk coming down with a luggage bag.
"Old comrade, are you going to the dining car to eat?"
The old man nodded, his eyes full of defense, and he subconsciously squeezed the bag in his hand.
If this person walked out of the private room now, he would probably be robbed immediately. Wei Tu didn't care so much anymore and directly reminded him: "Old comrade, you have been targeted!"
The strange old man frowned, confused: "What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Yun stood up and explained in a low voice: "Old comrade, have you seen the two men outside? They have been here several times, and they stare at your bag every time they come!"
The old man was shocked when he heard this, and immediately turned his head to look outside. His eyes happened to collide with those of the thieves, and the fierce light suddenly appeared in their eyes, which made people shudder.
He suddenly became enlightened!
At this time, Biaozi and the others, who had returned with their lunch boxes, also saw the two thieves in the aisle.
The three of them looked at each other, and they all felt convinced.
Biaozi stepped forward and bumped into one of them rudely on purpose.
The other party staggered back and yelled: "Damn fat man, you are blind! Can you see the road!"
Biaozi smiled instead of getting angry, and said in a roundabout way: "Sometimes when you take too many crooked paths, you no longer follow the right path. Brother, I'm sorry!"
There was something in this man's words, and the other two had serious faces, staring at them closely. The two thieves immediately came to their senses, they had been exposed!
The man who was hit picked up his brother and walked out quickly without looking back. He walked directly to the hard-seat car in one breath.
The two of them glanced back and saw that no one was following them, so they calmed down, found a corner with few people, and recalculated their next move.
"Is that all? Thirty thousand yuan! The jade in the bag is worth thirty thousand yuan!"
The young thief didn't want to give up, and the older one didn't want to give up either.
"It's impossible to just let it go! But we've already been exposed. It's probably difficult to do anything in the car. I plan to wait until the old man gets off the car..."
"OK!"
People died for money, and birds died for food. A sinister plan was launched, but Wei Tu and others had no idea.
After driving away the two thieves, the strange old man changed his previous indifference and sincerely thanked several people.
"Comrades, thank you very much. Otherwise, my losses would be great. The old man is the host today, so I can take whatever snacks and drinks from the dining car I want."
This man's surname is Ye, and he lives in Yunbian. He happened to stay at his daughter's house in a neighboring city some time ago.
As soon as his words came out, the atmosphere in the private room instantly became warm, and the distance between the few people became noticeably closer.
Biaozi couldn't help but wonder: "Comrade Lao Ye, why did those two people keep an eye on you?"
Mr. Ye shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I accidentally exposed my wealth unintentionally."
These words appealed to Biaozi, and he immediately loudly lectured Jiang Hao: "Look! Do you see it? This is a living example! Comrade Jiang Hao, you need to be more careful when you go out in the future!"
Jiang Hao pushed him and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not over yet. It seems that you can't keep your mouth idle. Third brother, come on, let's help feed Brother Biao!"
Several people started laughing, and the private room was full of laughter...
*
The train is driving through the mountains, forests and wilderness, and the scenery passing by quickly outside the window is like time gone by and never coming back...
The journey was uneventful, and the group arrived at Yunbian smoothly. At this time, they were standing at the exit of the station saying goodbye to each other.
Mr. Ye sincerely invited: "Everyone, why don't you come and sit at the little old man's house? It's a good time for me to fulfill my friendship as a landlord."
Wei Tu looked at Jiang Yun, as if asking for her opinion.
"Grandpa Ye, we have to visit my master's friends first, but our group can't go back that soon. How about we get together another day?" Jiang Yun said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll leave you with my contact information." He handed the note with the address to Jiang Yun.
Biaozi clasped his fists and said with a playful smile: "The green mountains will not change and the green water will always flow. Comrade Lao Ye, let's just say goodbye."
After saying goodbye, the group of five people turned around and left. After taking a few steps, they heard someone behind them shouting: "Grab the bag! Stop them!"
Wei Tu turned around and shouted, "No! Those two bastards stole Lao Ye's bag! Biaozi, rats, let's chase them quickly!"
