In the spring of 2014, on the green train from City B to Changsheng County, Liu Donglin and Shi Jingyi were sitting in front of the window in the corridor outside the soft sleeper compartment, chatting.
"Lao Yi, what do you think about this mission? You can just go by yourself. Why did you call me?" Liu Donglin was staring helplessly at the fields passing by outside the window. He was originally going to the city this week.
He was playing in another place, but Geng Zhaoyang suddenly told him to go with Shi Jingyi to Changsheng County far away in V City to find a person and bring back the traitor who stole the organization's things and sold them to other families.
"I didn't know this. I'm still surprised. For such a simple thing, can't you just ask a few of your younger brothers to go with you? Why do you have to ask me to go?" Shi Jingyi acted exactly like Liu Donglin and was also complaining about this.
Although he didn't have any other plans, running errands to find someone was not something he wanted to do.
"Excuse me, take it." At this time, a fat old man passed by the two of them, holding two cups of instant noodles in his hand. He walked to the door of the private room next to the two of them and kicked it gently with his foot.
He opened the door and signaled for him to open the door for him. Since his legs and feet seemed to be a little inconvenient, he almost fell down when he kicked the door.
Shi Jingyi stood up and planned to help him, but inside the door, an old woman's hand with a bracelet held him steady: "What took you so long? What have you been doing? Even making noodles is so useless!"
"Oh, my dear, there are too many people. Let's eat early for our next meal!" the old man replied with a smile. He was not unhappy because of the old woman's scolding.
"It's not because you lost all the dry food I brought! Excuse me! You can eat the instant noodles by yourself. I'm losing weight!" The old woman's voice was powerful, and you could tell she was an old woman in good health.
After pulling the old man into the private room, the old woman slammed the private room door shut with her backhand.
"I won't look for this kind of wife in the future, it's too scary!" Liu Donglin complained.
Shi Jingyi slapped him: "Women are fickle! You can't guess what your future wife will be like, so we'd better wait until then! How long until we arrive in Changsheng County?"
"The total length of this line is 2198.27 kilometers. Originally, it could be reached in about a day by high-speed rail, express, etc. But we took the old green train, so it took three and a half days. We should have all taken the train in the morning
, it is already afternoon. We should arrive in Changsheng County by now in three days." Behind the two of them came another man with a kettle in his hand, probably going to fetch water. "By the way.
, we are lying in the car without stopping. I forgot to buy cigarettes when I got in the car. Do you have any? Hey, can you give me one to smoke? I am an old smoker, and it feels a bit uncomfortable not to smoke."
Liu Donglin both shook their heads. Neither of them smoked, so there was really nothing they could do to help. Shi Jingyi asked curiously: "Brother, why do you know so well? Do you often take this route?"
This tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man put the kettle on the ground and saluted Shi Jingyi inexplicably: "I am Zou Tongtie, the first squad leader of the artillery company of the 31st Division of South China. But I have retired. Hehe.
Brother, your eyes betray you, have you ever been in the military? In which army?"
"Yo!" Shi Jingyi stood up after hearing the self-introduction of the man named Zou Tongtie, and returned a military salute, "So you are the squad leader of the Hero Company! Ashamed, I have only been a soldier for three years, and I was still in the northwest.
The infantry company of the 7th Division is far behind your troops!"
"Hehe." Zou Tongtie seemed to like this silly smile: "You are indeed a comrade in the army. It seems that my eyesight has not declined yet! Changsheng County is my hometown, so I know this route very well. What are you doing in Changsheng County?"
"Looking for..." Shi Jingyi was about to say when he was stopped by Liu Donglin.
"Lao Yi! Three and a half days? Are you kidding me? I told you that it would be faster to fly to S city and then transfer to long distance! I think you are planning to let me suffocate to death on this train, aren't you! Let's go
You're a tourist! How are you? You've delayed me for so long on the road. What are we going to do when we get there?" Liu Donglin scolded, he didn't want to tell other people about their purpose.
Only then did Shi Jingyi realize who he was working for, and he immediately changed his mind and said, "Just go out and relax. Taking the train is a different feeling! Stop complaining all the time!"
"It turns out you are visiting Changsheng County! It is fate that we meet, and I will be your tour guide then!" Zou Tongtie said with a smile.
"Thank you! Definitely, definitely!" Liu Donglin answered before Shi Jingyi could.
At this time, another young man walked over beside the three of them. Zou Tongtie immediately stepped forward to borrow a cigarette. The man looked a little panicked. After listening to Zou Tongtie's request, he actually gave him a whole pack of cigarettes, then turned around and walked over.
A private room at the head of the entire carriage.
"This man is so strange! Give me a whole pack of cigarettes!" Zou Tongtie was a familiar person, and he turned around to show Liu Donglin and Shi Jingyi what he had gained.
Liu Donglin didn't want to talk to him anymore: "This is an old train, so you should go to the smoking area to smoke!"
Zou Tongtie thought for a while and nodded: "Okay! Let's talk about it later!"
"Slow down!" Shi Jingyi stood up and made room for him.
Zou Tongtie walked to the compartment next to the old man, put the kettle in, and led another short man with eyes to the smoking area of the train.
Liu Donglin took a look at his private room. There were a total of 9 private rooms in the entire carriage. Their own private room was at No. 5 in the middle. The old man just now was at No. 6, and the soldier named Zou Tongtie's private room was at No. 6. He was given the private room.
The young man with a whole pack of cigarettes was in private room No. 1. He also noticed that there was another couple living in private room No. 8. The reason was because there were three young people who had returned to their hometown in this private room, and each private room could only accommodate three people.
There were two people, but they bought numbers 7 and 9 in their private rooms.
The reason Liu Donglin remembers this is because three young men had a fight over changing private rooms with the couple. But in the end, the girl in the couple was unwilling to change private rooms, so the matter was settled.
Liu Donglin thought about it carefully. It had been less than 6 hours since he got on the bus, and he had already recognized all the passengers in the private rooms except those in rooms 2, 3, and 4!
Liu Donglin, who was thinking about this, saw the flight attendant walking past him, so he grabbed him and asked curiously: "Is our carriage full, or is there room for private rooms?"
The flight attendant seemed to be a newcomer. He was a little overwhelmed by Liu Donglin's question. He opened the notebook hanging around his neck and looked at it for a while before saying: "Our carriage 4 is not full, and there are no private rooms 2, 3, and 4."
Passenger. How can I help you?"
"Oh, I'm just asking, is it nothing serious? Why are you sweating so much?" Liu Donglin became concerned when he saw that he was sweating profusely.
"No, it's okay! It's my first time to run a long distance, so I'm a little nervous. Sorry, if you don't have any questions, I'll go to work." The flight attendant answered carefully.
Shi Jingyi pulled up Liu Donglin and walked to their box No. 5: "He's fine, you can go!"
