Mountain Village Massacre, Train Murder Case Chapter 25: On the Train
In life, the most beautiful encounter is reunion, and the saddest thing is parting. In life, we have reunited so many times, and we have been separated so many times. We always choose between reunion and separation. Sometimes, reunion is to say goodbye again.
, parting is for a better reunion.
Life, regardless of reunion or separation, every life needs to be experienced. A reunion is a gathering, which brings laughter and leaves behind thoughts. A separation may be a kind of sadness or sadness;
The beginning of a reunion is full of expectations and even more happiness.
There is no direct train from Zhuxi County to S City. Xu Lang and the others need to transfer from Zhuxi County to Eyan City, where they can take the train to S City.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over, which means the beginning of a new year. Many people who have returned from working in other places take the bus again, say goodbye to their wives, children and parents, and leave their hometowns to start the new year's work. At the station, many people
Lang and the three of them saw scenes of moving farewells. Lu Xing, like Zhang Lei, is an optimistic person. He doesn't care much about these farewells, and Xu Lang has been in a foreign land in the past few years.
, this time, he was taking Xiao Yueyue back to his hometown, so Xu Lang didn't have much expression on his face.
Only the young Xiao Yueyue was not in a very high mood the moment she left home. She held Xu Lang's palm tightly with her little hands, snuggled up to Xu Lang's side, and watched the farewell scenes.
The scene made the little girl who was originally afraid of separation and leaving this small county become even more silent.
Xu Lang and the others bought the earliest bus from Zhuxi County to Eyan City. It takes four hours to drive from Zhuxi County to Eyan City. Xiao Yueyue and Xu Lang sat together, while Lu Xing sat
In front of Xu Lang and the others, Xiao Yueyue lay on Xu Lang's lap and started sleeping since she got in the car. She was no longer as lively as before. This made Xu Lang feel very heavy. He was worried about Zaohui.
What will Xiao Yueyue think about because of this separation? However, Xu Lang also knows that Xiao Yueyue will have to experience this matter of separation sooner or later. Xu Lang doesn't know how to persuade Xiao Yueyue, and
, Xiao Yueyue neither cried nor fussed, and started to sleep as soon as she got in the car. Xu Lang couldn't say anything.
When the car slowly left the bus station and drove along the national highway, the people in the car were all relatively young men and women. In addition to the reluctance after parting, in their eyes they also looked forward to the new year.
They were full of hope, and it was precisely because of this hope that they were forced to leave their hometown before the first lunar month was over and go to a different place to start the new year's work.
No one wants to say goodbye, and the reason why these people in the same car with Xu Lang and others choose to leave their families is mainly because they want to go out to make money and make their families live a better life. In fact, everyone is like this, for their livelihood and for their family.
Families, for the sake of the responsibilities on their shoulders, must give up something. Only in this way can they get more things and make their family and themselves live a better life.
The atmosphere in the car was very quiet. At the beginning, there were people in the car chatting. However, as the car moved and the body shook, the people who were chatting at the beginning also became silent. Most people chose to
He leaned on the seat to sleep, and because Lu Xing drank too much last night and got up early today, he started to fall asleep after getting in the car. Only Xu Lang gently patted the little boy with one hand.
Yueyue turned her back and looked at the scenery outside the window, but her eyes were unfocused. She didn't know what she was thinking.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, they finally arrived in Eyan City. When the three of them walked out of the bus station, Xu Lang held Xiao Yueyue's hand and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Xiao Yueyue still shook her head in low mood.
Xu Lang looked at Lu Xing, who was yawning profusely, and asked, "What about you?"
Lu Xing also shook his head and said, "My head hurts, I have no appetite, and I can't eat."
Seeing that neither of them wanted to have breakfast, Xu Lang took them straight to the train station and bought three tickets.
In fact, Xu Lang wanted to buy a sleeper berth. However, because it was the peak period for going out to work, Xu Lang and the others could not buy sleeper berth tickets. Xu Lang and the others had to take the hard seat for the time being and wait to see if they could get on the bus.
It was fine for Xu Lang and Lu Xing to make up for three sleeper berth tickets, but Xu Lang was worried that Xiao Yueyue would not be able to bear it.
Not long after buying the tickets, Xu Lang and the others got on the train, and after they found their seats, Xiao Yueyue lay on Xu Lang's lap again and started to sleep.
Compared to the quietness on the passenger train, the train is like a wet market, bustling with people and noisy, including the sound of train salesmen pushing snacks.
"Peanuts, melon seeds and eight-treasure porridge, beer, drinks and mineral water, take a look and give in."
In addition, there were the chatter among passengers, the crying of children, the shouts of playing cards, and the snoring of those sleeping with their heads covered.
Lu Xing came here by train before, and he was already used to this, and he no longer felt sleepy. He sat on the aisle seat, boredly watching everything that happened in the car, while Xiao Yueyue honestly
Lying on Xu Lang's lap and sleeping, her body turning from time to time told Xu Lang that in fact, she was not asleep. Indeed, the car was so noisy that even an adult would find it difficult to fall asleep, let alone Xiaoyue.
Where is the moon?
When Xu Lang and the others got on the bus, they asked the flight attendant if there were any free sleepers. The answer was naturally no. Xu Lang asked the flight attendant to check for him and see if there were any.
If there is a spare berth, tell yourself and make up for it yourself. Therefore, Xu Lang can do nothing about Xiao Yueyue's current situation.
It takes more than thirty hours to take a train from Eyan City to S City. If you take a hard seat, not only Xiao Yueyue can't bear it, but even Lu Xing can't bear it. However, fortunately, on the train
After two stops, the conductor came over and told Xu Lang that there were free sleeper berths on the train, and asked Xu Lang if he wanted to pay for a replacement ticket.
Naturally, Xu Lang didn't hesitate at all and immediately paid for the ticket, and the three of them walked from the hard-seat carriage to the sleeper compartment.
The berths for three people happened to be in the same box. When Xu Lang and the others came in, they found two people lying on the lower berths on both sides of the box, and one person, one man and two women, lying on the upper berth on the left.
The man is the man on the right after entering the door. The man is huddled under the quilt, making it difficult to see his face. If it weren’t for the pair of size 42 leather shoes in front of him and the torn foot,
Being exposed, Xu Lang was really not sure whether the other person was a boy or a girl.
There was a woman in her twenties lying on the lower bunk on the left. To be precise, the woman was half-lying on the lower bunk. When Xu Lang and the others came in, the woman was playing with her mobile phone with her head down, and did not notice Xu Lang and the others.
There is also a woman lying on the upper bunk on the left. The space on the upper bunk is very small. The woman is covered with a quilt, facing the wall, with her back to Xu Lang and the others. The woman is indifferent to the arrival of Xu Lang and the others. She doesn't know why.
I fell asleep or something.
After Xu Lang took off the shoes of the sleepy Xiao Yueyue, he carried Xiao Yueyue to the middle bunk on the right. Then, Xu Lang looked at Lu Xing who put the luggage under the bed and asked: "Would you choose to go up?
Bunk or middle berth?”
Lu Xing looked at both sides and said to Xu Lang: "The wine was so strong that I haven't recovered yet. I went to the upper bunk to catch up on my sleep."
After saying this, Lu Xing began to take off his shoes and climbed up the stairs to the upper bunk above Xiao Yueyue.
The young woman sitting below, after hearing the conversation between Xu Lang and Lu Xing, raised her head and glanced at Xu Lang and the others. It seemed that she had not noticed Xu Lang and the others until this moment. The woman's eyes were first on Lu Xing.
She glanced at Xiao Yueyue, who was sleeping on the middle bunk, and then glanced at Xiao Yueyue, who was sleeping on the middle bunk. Finally, the woman's gaze rested on Xu Lang's body. To be precise, it rested on Xu Lang's long snow-white hair.
, the woman showed a surprised expression, her lipsticked lips grew slightly. Obviously, she was a little surprised by Xu Lang's long snow-white hair, but she quickly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to look at her phone, her slender and white fingers
He was typing something quickly on the screen of his phone, but his eyes would look at Xu Lang who was tucking Xiao Yueyue in from time to time.
Xu Lang naturally noticed this woman's gaze, but he didn't say anything. He just walked to Xiao Yueyue's side, looked at the little girl, and helped her tidy up her somewhat messy hair.
After doing all this, Xu Lang did not go to the middle bunk above the young woman to rest. Instead, he came to the aisle, sat down on the chair in the aisle, turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window, and occasionally turned his head to look at the little girl in the box.
Yueyue's sleeping position.
When the time came to six o'clock in the afternoon, the waiter who was responsible for selling dinner on the train pushed the dinner cart and began to walk past the carriages. When the dining car came to Xu Lang's carriage, Xu Lang bought three
dinner.
Lu Xing had already woken up. In fact, he hadn't slept much since he came to the sleeper compartment. As long as he lay in bed in a daze, he didn't dare to play with his mobile phone. He was mainly worried that he would run out of battery after playing for a long time.
At that time, it was more troublesome to return to S City and not be able to contact Ning Yanran and the others.
After Xu Lang bought dinner, Xu Lang patted Lu Xing and motioned for him to come down to eat. Then, Xu Lang walked to Xiao Yueyue's side and saw that although Xiao Yueyue was still nestled under the quilt, when Xu Lang
When she walked over, she had her big watery eyes open. Xu Lang knew that Xiao Yueyue was not feeling well, so he whispered to her: "Get up and eat."
At first, Xiao Yueyue didn't move. After Xu Lang said it a second time, Xiao Yueyue still didn't move. When Xu Lang said it a third time, he subconsciously increased his tone, and Xiao Yueyue jumped out of the bed.
I climbed up and climbed up the stairs to the first floor. After putting on my shoes, I went to the bathroom in the middle of the carriage.
There were two women and one man in the carriage. Except for the young woman who asked for a dinner, the remaining two people did not move. Xu Lang did not pay attention to this either.
After the young woman ordered a dinner, she also went to the bathroom with Xiao Yueyue after she put on her shoes. Before leaving, the woman glanced at Xu Lang and Lu Xing, who was sitting in the aisle eating.
Xu Lang looked at the young woman's retreating back, and his eyes narrowed subconsciously, but he didn't say anything or do anything.
Three minutes passed, and Xiao Yueyue and the young woman hadn't come back yet. Xu Lang felt a little strange. However, thinking that both of them were girls, it would be troublesome to wash their hands in the toilet and would take time, so Xu Lang didn't look anxious.
Five minutes passed and the two people still didn't come back. Xu Lang became a little uneasy. At this time, Lu Xing had already finished his meal and was drinking from a bottle of drink. While drinking, he complained: "On the train.
Fast food is so fucking awful.”
Xu Lang didn't respond to Lu Xing's complaints.
After another five minutes, Xu Lang finally couldn't wait any longer. Just as he was about to get up and go to the toilet,
When looking for Xiao Yueyue, they saw Xiao Yueyue and the young woman coming back together, talking and laughing. After Xiao Yueyue saw Xu Lang, she immediately ran over and stretched out her wet hand.
He grabbed Xu Lang's palm with his little hand and shouted sweetly: "Dad."
Xu Lang looked at Xiao Yueyue and found that there was nothing unusual about her. He then raised his head and glanced at the woman who was slowly walking towards them and asked Xiao Yueyue: "Why have you been gone for so long?"
Xiao Yueyue lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "My stomach feels uncomfortable."
"Are you okay now?" Xu Lang asked with concern.
Xiao Yueyue shook her head and smiled: "It's okay."
"Since everything is fine, let's eat first."
Xiao Yueyue sat obediently opposite Lu Xing, opened the lid of the fast food, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
At this time, the young woman walked up to Xu Lang. She glanced at Xiao Yueyue, then looked at Xu Lang and asked with a smile: "Your daughter?"
Xu Lang nodded and said, "Yes."
"How old are you?" the woman asked.
Xu Lang frowned subconsciously. He turned his head and glanced at the woman, and then said: "Six years old."
As if aware of Xu Lang's vigilant gaze, she took a step back slightly to show that she had no ill intentions, and then said with a smile: "She is so young and so sensible. You are so lucky."
"Thank you." Xu Lang said calmly.
Obviously, Xu Lang was wary of this woman who suddenly came to get close to him. In fact, anyone with certain social experience would be wary of strangers who suddenly appeared in front of him, let alone someone like Xu Lang.
What about people.
Xiao Yueyue, who was eating, raised her head at this time, looked at the young woman, and said sweetly: "Thank you, beautiful sister."
When the young woman heard the name Beauty Sister, she was stunned for a moment, then a moving smile appeared on her face, she shook her head and said, "You're welcome."
After saying this, the young woman walked past Xu Lang, walked into the box, lay down on the bed again, and continued playing with her mobile phone without touching the dinner.
After Xu Lang glanced at the woman for a few times, he turned back, looked at Xiao Yueyue, and asked softly: "What happened just now?"
Lu Xing knew that Xu Lang hadn't eaten yet, so he stood up, took the lunch box he had finished and left his seat. Xu Lang sat where Lu Xing had just been sitting, opened another dinner, and held chopsticks.
He gave Xiao Yueyue the meat from his lunch box and looked at Xiao Yueyue.
Xiao Yueyue said in a low voice while picking up the rice: "I had a stomachache just now. I went to the toilet and forgot to bring tissues. It was that young lady who helped me, so I want to thank her."
Hearing what Xiao Yueyue said, Xu Lang immediately felt relieved. He didn't ask anything, but asked Xiao Yueyue to eat in peace.
After the two of them finished eating, Xu Lang let Xiao Yueyue go back to bed while Xu Lang cleaned up the mess. After finishing cleaning up, Xu Lang sat on the aisle seat again and looked at the dark night scene outside.
.
Lu Xing had already come back. He was sitting opposite Xu Lang. Like Xu Lang, he was looking at the night scene outside with some boredom.
Smoking was not allowed on the bus. Moreover, Xiao Yueyue had been following Xu Lang at that time, so Xu Lang could not smoke. At this moment, Xu Lang felt a little sleepy and wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve his fatigue, so
, he said to Lu Xing: "You take care of Xiao Yueyue, I'll go to the corridor to smoke a cigarette."
Lu Xing nodded and said, "Go ahead, I'm here."
Xu Lang got up, went to the aisle of the carriage, took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it. The cigarette still cost 13 yuan. Xu Lang has been smoking this brand for so many years, even if Xu Lang brought it with him
Xiao Yueyue has lived in Zhuxi County for five years. Even though the representative cigarette of Beihu Province is Yellow Crane Tower, Xu Lang still likes to smoke Liqun.
Just when Xu Lang was lighting the cigarette, he suddenly smelled a scent of perfume. Following the source of the scent, Xu Lang turned his head and saw the young woman.
The woman stood next to Xu Lang, lightly opened her red lips, and said, "Do you still have cigarettes?"
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then handed the cigarette case to the woman, along with the lighter in his hand.
The young woman was not polite to Xu Lang. After taking the cigarette box from Xu Lang, she took out a cigarette and lit it. She took a strong puff, raised her head slightly, and half-squinted her eyes. After a long time,
Then she slowly exhaled a puff of light smoke.
After Xu Lang saw this scene, he immediately knew that this small-looking woman was an old smoker. It could be seen from the way she held her cigarette and the way she smoked.
After Xu Lang handed the cigarette to the woman, he did not look at the woman again, but looked out the window. He had no intention of striking up a conversation. For Xu Lang, no matter how beautiful the woman was, Xu Lang did not want to
If there is any intersection with the other party, I don’t want to talk to the other party.
The woman had actually been half-squinting her eyes, looking at the man with a little girl and long snow-white hair. Seeing that Xu Lang had no intention of striking up a conversation, the woman raised her eyebrows slightly, showing an expression of interest.
