"Why are you going to Dongguan?" Bai Meihua asked.
"find a job."
"Then you come with me. My cousin is very profitable there and has built big tile-roofed houses in the village. I used to be a teacher in the village, but I don't work anymore anymore. I can recommend you."
Bai Meihua's gaze has been following Lu Feng's face, as if this face has an indescribable attraction to this girl.
Lu Feng kept looking at the man opposite him. He couldn't tell how old he was. He had a thin face, a hooked nose, and an unshaven beard. The leather jacket on his body was a bit old. He held his hands on his chest and leaned on his seat to look around.
He looked at Lu Feng and then lowered his head.
The train rumbled forward, and the carriage was filled with accents from all over the country, as well as the smell of feet.
A middle-aged couple sat across from them. They said they were going to the south to work. Not many people go south to work now. They looked like they were in their fifties. After asking, I found out that they were just forty.
"We farmers are a little rougher." Auntie smiled at Lu Feng and asked, "Are you going to school?"
"I work part-time too!"
"You don't look like a working man. You have thin skin and tender flesh. You don't look like that at first glance, but you look like a young man from a wealthy family." The uncle looked at Bai Meihua and said with a smile, "You are fair too."
"I teach and go to Dongguan to work. I heard from my cousin that I can earn a lot." Bai Meihua laughed and looked out the window with eyes full of hope.
As they chatted, time passed quickly. The couple across from them chatted all over the place. An uncle next door took out a bottle of liquor, took a few sips and joined in the chat.
Unconsciously, the sky outside the carriage became dark, and Lu Feng realized that something was wrong, that is, he did not see the trolley on the train.
These little push carts used to sell things like instant noodles and fruits. I got on the train this afternoon and didn’t see them until now.
"Are you hungry? Let's eat!"
The aunt opposite took out the woven bag and started rummaging through it. After a while, she took out a few boiled eggs and two steamed buns.
The man diagonally across from him also took out ham sausage from his pocket and started eating steamed buns. Lu Feng looked around and saw that all of them had brought their own food. Some were eating steamed buns and pickled mustard, while others were eating pancakes.
Bai Meihua took out a piece of cake from a bag, spread some sauce on it and ate it. She seemed to see Lu Feng's embarrassment and asked: "Did you bring nothing to eat? How many more do I have?"
Make a cake."
"No, no, no, where is the dining car?" Lu Feng asked.
As soon as these words came out, several people looked at Lu Feng. The couple opposite looked at Lu Feng, and the woman whispered: "Young man, don't let anything slip!"
Lu Feng was a little confused. He just wanted to have a meal at the dining car, so why did he miss out?
"It's okay, I just want to have a meal." Lu Feng stood up and walked towards the flight attendant and asked about the location of the dining car. It's not cheap to have a meal on the train now.
A simple lunch box, apparently taken from the station, placed in a foam box, covered with a quilt, and sold to Lu Feng for ten yuan!
Ten yuan is enough for an ordinary person to go to a restaurant. The people on the train are all migrant workers. Ten yuan for a box lunch is indeed a bit luxurious. No wonder the aunt opposite reminded Lu Feng not to show off.
After taking a few bites of the box lunch, which was really not very tasty, Lu Feng sat in the dining car, smoking a cigarette and chatting with a passenger on the opposite side.
On the way back, Lu Feng wondered why it was stolen. This was so amazing. After thinking about it, she had always been holding her aunt's bag, and the only ones who could touch it were Lu Feng and Bai Meihua.
White plum blossom?
Lu Feng covered his face with his hands, somewhat in disbelief. She didn't look like this kind of person, but there are so many people these days.
Lu Feng returned to the carriage from the police room and found that Bai Meihua had returned. Everyone in the carriage looked at him strangely, as if he was a thief.
The old couple's eyes were red from crying and they were still sobbing while they were leaning there. Lu Feng comforted them: "We don't have to worry about getting angry. We will definitely find them before we get off the car."
The flight attendant came in again and loudly reminded me to pay attention to my belongings.
Bai Meihua looked at Lu Feng and whispered: "The policeman told me to be more careful, there are a lot of thieves here."
"Be careful when you go to bed at night!" Lu Feng nodded.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the carriage fell into silence again, and many people fell asleep under their coats. The aunt opposite had originally offered to lend Lu Feng a coat to cover him up at night, but now she was sad and had no thoughts.
The wind blowing in from the gaps in all directions was a bit cold. Lu Feng pulled the suitcase and opened it and took a look. It was all short-sleeved. He could only put his hands on his chest and fell asleep in a daze.
Just as I was dazed, I suddenly felt a warmth covering my body. I opened my eyes and saw a flower coat covering my body.
"Did I wake you up?"
Lu Feng looked at Bai Meihua next to him. The two of them were covered in a coat, and smiled and said: "It's quite warm, thank you. I'm going to the bathroom."
Lu Feng stood up and looked diagonally across the street, and found that the man was no longer there. He glanced to the left and right, but found no one, so he stood up and walked towards the toilet.
Halfway through, the toilet door opened and the man came out. When he saw Lu Feng, his eyes were a little gloomy, and they walked towards each other face to face.
There was a middle-aged man sitting in the third row. He hung a men's leather bag around his neck and covered himself with his coat while sleeping. His snoring was already loud.
When the two of them reached this position, they just needed to turn sideways to give way. Lu Feng saw his hand stretched out. In his hand were the matte-colored tweezers, which were very long and very sharp.
The tweezers directly opened a hole in the leather bag, reached in, and took out a wallet.
Lu Feng reached out and patted his arm, then pushed the wallet in with the tweezers. At the same time, he bumped into the sleeping man. The other person hurriedly pulled his hand back and looked at Lu Feng with a threatening look in his eyes.
Everything happened in the light of the calcium carbide fire, and no one around noticed it. Lu Feng walked towards the toilet, and the man followed him.
He walked into the toilet with his front legs, and the other party came in immediately, pinched Lu Feng's neck, and put the tweezers in his hand on his chest.
"Do you want to die?" The man said with a ferocious face: "Brother, you have crossed the line and you have stepped on the plate. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand what you're saying." Lu Feng looked at him and said, "Thieves have their ways. You can't steal money from poor people. When that old couple got off the train, they didn't even have a way to survive."
"You are really kind-hearted. Why would you steal if you are so kind?" The man stared at Lu Feng and said fiercely: "Get out of here at the next stop and don't act in my territory."
"What did you say? Did I steal the old couple's money?" Lu Feng said in disbelief.
"Who else can it be besides you? Let me tell you, I have also received rumors in the past two days that someone wants to take this line from me. They are all wandering around. Who doesn't know a few people? Let me tell you,
If you cause trouble again, I'll chop your hands off!"
"I'm not a thief!" Lu Feng shook his head.
"You're not a thief? Then who is?" The man sneered, as if he was mocking Lu Feng, a thief who didn't dare to admit it.
