The long whistle of the whistle echoed, and a small green train sped along the railway track in the direction of Shangjing City.
Beside the huge square window, a young man rested his head on his right hand and sat lazily on the seat, staring at the scenery passing by the window, but his mind had already drifted into the distance.
At this moment, a six or seven-year-old boy poked his head out from behind his chair, stretched out his hand and violently pulled the boy's hair.
The young man was in pain, frowned and looked back. The little boy was standing on the seat behind him, pulling his hair curiously and letting out a giggle.
"Are you sick?!" A flash of anger flashed in the young man's eyes.
"Why are you so mean?" Beside the boy, a woman stood up and glared at him, "The child is ignorant, what's wrong with playing? Didn't he just pull his hair? What are you doing?"
"you……"
The young man was about to curse when he glanced at the young face of the boy in the seat behind him. After hesitating for a long time, he snorted coldly and turned his head to the side.
We’re going to Beijing soon… I don’t want to be like a kid.
The young man thought in his mind.
He leaned on the seat by the window, looking at the looming city in the distance outside the window. A wave of fatigue came over him, and he slowly closed his eyes...
On the seat behind him, the little boy blinked and reached out his hand again, trying to grab the boy's hair.
Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the old backpack held tightly in the young man's arms, and curiosity appeared in his eyes.
He stretched out his hand, and while the boy was sleeping, he pulled out a document bag that was encrypted in several layers from the old backpack, held it in his arms, and began to fold the paper airplane.
The young man seemed to have noticed something and opened his eyes suddenly!
The first time he woke up, the boy found that the backpack in his arms had been opened. He turned around and saw the folder that had been crumpled into a ball in the little boy's arms, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
In his mind, a volcano called anger suddenly erupted, and his fists clenched tightly unconsciously.
Rumble——!
A low buzzing sound exploded in the air like thunder.
At this moment, the train carriage moving forward at high speed suddenly started to tremble slightly.
The sleeping passengers woke up from their sleep and looked around in confusion. At the same time, the train quickly entered the tunnel and the entire carriage fell into darkness.
In the pitch black where you couldn't even see your fingers, a pair of angry red eyes slowly opened.
The young man, at some point, was already standing in front of the boy who was rubbing the document bag.
"What are you doing?"
Those red eyes stared into the boy's eyes, like a furious beast sizing up his prey.
The boy was frightened.
The boy looked into those eyes, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and burst into tears!
Everyone was attracted by this miserable cry and turned their eyes.
The train exits the tunnel and light returns to the carriage.
The confused women saw the young man standing in front of them and shouted sharply again:
"What do you want to do?! Who asked you to come here? Get out of here!"
She seemed to be frightened by those eyes. She took the crumpled and deformed document from the boy's hand and threw it into the boy's chest. It fell to the ground with a gurgling sound and rolled to the boy's feet.
"Didn't you just take a bag? What do you want to do? Bully a child? He is not sensible, and you are not sensible either?!"
The woman's sharp voice echoed in the boy's ears, and the anger in the boy's eyes grew stronger and stronger.
"What do I want to do?" The young man sneered. He bent down and spoke as sternly as a devil:
"Guess it?"
boom--!!
In the middle of the fast-moving green train, a raging flame suddenly burst out, and a harsh brake sound sounded. One carriage of the green train suddenly became disconnected from other carriages, and the friction between the wheel hub and the track produced a large number of sparks.
The woman held the frightened boy and sat on the seat. The entire head of the carriage in front of them had disappeared, as if an invisible hand had torn it into pieces.
In the wilderness, the carriage slowly came to a standstill with billowing smoke.
All the passengers in the carriage, which were messy due to the strong wind, were sitting in place like sculptures, while the demon-like young man had disappeared without a trace.
Outside the carriage, somewhere in the wilderness.
The young man clutched the crumpled documents, glanced at the destroyed carriage lightly, turned around and walked towards Shangjing City alone.
He opened the file bag and pulled out a form.
At the top of this form, there are the words "Night Watch Recruit Training Application Form" written in large characters, and in the column of the applicant's name, there is a simple and plain name:
Lu Baoyou.
…
Shangjing City, where Team 006 is based.
Li Zhenzhen dragged her suitcase to the door of the courtyard, pursed her lips and looked back.
The members of Team 006, except for Shao Pingge who was going to a meeting and Yuan Gang who was busy preparing for training, all stood in the courtyard of the courtyard and looked at her with smiles.
"I... left?" Li Zhenzhen's eyes were a little red.
"Yes." Zhang Zhengting nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Have a safe trip."
"Really, when you get to the training camp, you have to take care of yourself."
"Yes, it's true. We can protect you in Shangjing City, but when you go to the training camp, you have to rely on yourself."
"If we have the chance, we will go to the training camp to visit you."
"Practice hard and graduate with the best grades, so that you can return to the Shangjing team, and we will be teammates from now on!"
"It's really a duck!"
"…"
Everyone in the 006 team waved goodbye to Li Zhenzhen.
Li Zhenzhen looked at them, and her eyes turned red unconsciously again. She turned her head sharply to prevent her tears from flowing down, and struggled to drag the heavy suitcase towards the other end of the alleyway.
When she reached the end of the alleyway and could no longer hear the voices of the 006 team, she could no longer hold back her tears, running down her young cheeks like two trickling streams.
She turned back and took one last look at the looming courtyard in the distance.
After she left, she didn't know what she would see when she came back next time...
Perhaps at that time, the 006 team she was familiar with had disappeared, and was replaced by a brand new team that was unfamiliar to her...
The Siheyuan is still the same Siheyuan. As long as Daxia is not destroyed, it will always be there.
But the people living inside may have gone their separate ways.
Li Zhenzhen wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, with determination in his eyes, and stepped forward facing the rising sun at the end of the lane.
"I will take good care of myself..." She murmured to herself, "You should also take good care of yourself."
