Chapter 10 The Horrible Train

Woo...woo...the train neighed and slowly approached the station.

The painful two days were finally coming to an end. Li Manping was overjoyed. She looked at the platform getting closer and closer with bright eyes. She stood up excitedly and held her hands to the window with tears in her eyes. It was not easy, but she finally got through it.

The past two days have been very difficult. I ate and drank on my seat. There was only such a small space. I was afraid of slamming my butt into someone's face when I turned around, because the floor was full of people. People huddled in their seats for a long time, unable to move, and their legs and feet were all numb. It's swollen and there's a pit when you press it, and it's troublesome to take off your shoes.Because there are too many people and the smell is too mixed, you may be beaten if you try to take off your shoes.

It is even more difficult to defecate. There is only one toilet in each carriage. When people pass through the piles of people to get to the toilet, they realize that they still have to queue up. If you are not afraid of having sex with others, you can jump in the queue shamelessly.

When it was my turn to enter the toilet, I was vomiting. The complex stench filled the entire cubicle, making people want to flee through the door.The toilet is a small, closed room with a hole about ten centimeters in size dug into the floor. From the hole, you can see the railroad ties disappearing at high speed.When you squat down, you can feel the breeze blowing in from outside, which makes your butt feel a little cold.It is obvious that the waste from the intestines is discharged from the hole.

Li Manping went to the toilet once, and when she came back, she tried not to eat or drink. When she was extremely thirsty, she drank water to moisten her throat. She really didn't want to experience the unspeakable pain again.

Occasionally, you will pass by a small station. At this time, you can go out of the window and breathe some fresh air. After about ten minutes, you can hear the sharp whistle of the station staff, warning everyone that the train is about to start and they must hurry up. Car, otherwise it is easy to miss the train.

Li Manping did not go out for air because she saw many men getting off the train and walking towards the grass on both sides, wondering what they were doing.Men are just casual!

As the train entered the station, the crowd gradually became noisy. Almost everyone stood up and packed their luggage. Some people took out large and small bags from under their seats and hung them on their bodies. Some people found their luggage on the luggage rack above their heads and held up the packages. Be prepared to charge.The carriage came alive in an instant, and there were endless calls for it.

Li Manping saw the little Douding whom she had talked to. After two days of hard work, the little boy was listless. His cute little face looked tired and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.He was held in the woman's arms, with his head resting on her shoulder. He was looking at Li Manping and grinning at her.

Li Manping responded with a sincere smile. She really liked this little boy, maybe it was because of their mutual affinity.

As soon as the car door opened, the people blocking the car door were squeezed out by the people behind, and the crowd pushed each other to get out of the car door.Li Manping's family was squeezed out by the surging crowd and had to fall behind.

"Don't be crowded, don't panic. We're not in a hurry. Just be careful. If anyone gets separated, please wait at the door." Li Yichang and his wife protected Mr. Tang and walked forward with the flow of people. They turned around and shouted to Li Yixing. .

Li Yilong and his wife also took Li Yuan to protect the two elders of the Song family. They are teachers in a junior high school in the county, one teaches Chinese and the other arithmetic.Because I stay in school and teach seriously all year round, I use my brain and my physical strength is really not enough.Fortunately, Li Yilong was strong and strong. When he came of age five years ago, he had left home and spent several years in the army under a warlord, thus developing a strong body.Later, he couldn't stand the cowardice and inaction of his own army commander, so he resolutely bid farewell to the army and returned to his hometown. However, he was hired by a letter of introduction from his comrades to the county police station as a casual deputy bureau.

Because his eldest brother Li Yichang was doing well in the county town and had a wealthy in-law, he also benefited from it and prospered in the police station.

A group of people were forced to disperse in various directions of the crowd, and they all squeezed together along with the flow of people, and finally left the station.

Li Manping's family of four got out of the station the fastest because there were no old people to slow them down. They waited at a conspicuous place at the entrance of the station and observed the surrounding environment.

Li Hong jumped on the spot and looked towards the exit of the station, fearing that he would miss the others, "Dad, do we still need to take a car? What kind of car do we take? Can we not take the train? I don't want to take the train. It's too uncomfortable."

Li Manping raised her eyes and stared at her silly son, a former landlord, and agreed with his words.

Li Yixing glanced at the two brothers and sisters who looked weak. He stretched out his arms and shook them up and down, twisting and kicking his legs. After riding the train for two days, he was also tired. The others could close their eyes and rest. The three brothers He kept his eyes open almost the whole time. There was nothing he could do, as they were the brothers with the lowest status.

"We won't leave today. When everyone gathers, we will walk along the road to see if we can find a hotel to stay in or find someone to stay for one night." Li Yixing thought for a while. Everyone was exhausted. It was best to rest. They were on their way, so they were not in a hurry.

Li Manping breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't continue riding in the car. She felt like she was still shaking when she stepped on the ground. "Dad, can we rest for one more day? I don't think I can recover after one day of rest." Looking at the haggard Yang Qin said distressedly, "Besides, look at my mother, her face is so pale and her energy is low. It must be because she didn't have a good rest. We are not short of these few dollars, and it doesn't matter if we stay for two more days."

Li Yixing looked at his wife's expression. Although she was sitting on her luggage bag and couldn't see carefully, he knew from her listless state that it was not much better.The three of them did not look very good, so they planned to discuss with others to stay in this city for two more days.

"Dad, Dad, I saw uncle and aunt," Li Hong jumped on Li Yixing, hugged his neck and shook him, "Uncle and Grandpa Xiaoyuan are here together."

Li Yixing looked over, and sure enough, everyone was coming, no one missing.

"Third brother, we're not leaving today. We're going to find a hotel and book some rooms to stay in." Li Yichang put down Mr. Tang on his back, stood up and straightened his back, "I feel like my back is getting stiff. I'm getting older. Not resistant to creation.”

Tang Baozhu's brother also put down his mother on his back and supported her with his wife. He seemed very satisfied with the decision.

This is a large train station. Because countless people come in and out every day, there is a wide road outside the station. Occasionally, there is a house located on the roadside. It can be seen that it is a shop selling food.

There were crowds of people dispersing in the east and west directions of the road. It seemed that they could all leave the station, but they didn't know where they were going.

Li Manping carefully looked at the passers-by and spotted a kind aunt carrying a luggage. She ran over and stopped the person with her hand, raised a smile and asked directly, "Auntie, do you know how to get to the hotel? I just got off the train. , I don’t know the way and want to find a hotel to rest for a day.”

The woman who was stopped looked at the well-behaved girl in front of her, and then looked at the place where the girl was running, "I don't know where there is a hotel. I have never stayed there, but you can get there if you walk eastward for an hour. There is a county town called Shengtian. I heard that it is very prosperous and many family members who are officials live there. You can also reach a small town called Shitang by walking to the west, but the road is a bit far. I usually walk for three hours. There are many of you, so you have to take a bullock cart. And it’s a bit remote there, so unfamiliar people may go the wrong way.”

Li Yilong also followed.Li Manping didn't know which direction to go, but he knew. He thanked the person politely, and then asked: "Sister, we are going to Shitang Town, but there are many of us, and I don't know where I can rent an oxcart or horse-drawn carriage. "

The woman narrowed her eyes and smiled, and talked more. "Hey, what a coincidence, I have a carriage at home, and I will take you there. My home is just outside the station, and because it is close to the station, people often come to ask for directions, or ask us We helped find a bullock cart or something, and gradually we started this business." She smiled proudly, "It was not easy to start at the beginning. It was chaotic at that time. There was a fight every three days or two, and we were afraid of it. , when he heard the sound of gunfire, he hid in the ground, and then he got used to it and just did that." The indifference on his face made people feel sad.

From fear to habit to not caring, it seems like a few simple sentences, but it is the epitome of a person's difficult life for more than ten years.Due to its special geographical location, good industrial base and rich natural resources, as soon as the war began, the north of the country became a delicious pie that all forces fought for at all costs.

You fight today, I fight tomorrow. The entire north is under fire. Armed forces from all parties have gathered in this place that everyone wants to grab. The civilians are gradually living a stable life and no longer fearful.

Because there were a lot of people and things, the woman's husband and son drove three carriages. Li Manping fell into a deep sleep amidst the regular sound of horse hooves, and she slept very soundly.

Hmm~ Gu Gu... Gu, Li Manping stretched, covered her hungry stomach and sat up. She looked up and looked around. The unfamiliar room was very simple. It looked like it should be a hotel.

The room is not big, more than three meters wide and four to five meters long. There is a 1.8-meter large bed placed against the wall, which is a European-style iron frame bed.There is also a sofa stool at the end of the bed, which can be used separately to pile clothes.

There is a tripod next to the window, with two washbasins placed on it, and a green kettle next to it, which is filled with hot water for washing.There is a square table on the left side near the window. It is made of pure wood and only has a layer of tung oil on it, making it look shiny.

I got out of bed, put on my shoes, and opened the glass window. The sky outside was already very dark. It looked like it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.I remember it was noon when she got off the train. It seemed that she had slept for four hours, which was a bit long.

Li Manping went out, locked the door with her backhand, took away the key, and walked down the narrow, shabby but clean stairs. As soon as she turned the corner of the stairs, she met a person who was going upstairs.He even knocked the wine out of his hand.

The aroma of wine spread, and Li Manping broke out from the man's arms, holding on to the armrest to stand still, and shyly apologized to him, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. I'm sorry, I can compensate you for your loss."

The man was very tall and Li Manping was not even close to his chest. He waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, little girl. It's just a bottle of wine. It's no big deal." The man ignored her and walked up the stairs.

Li Manping looked at the man's leaving figure and pondered, who is he and what has he done?She could clearly smell the fishy smell of blood from the man just now.

Li Manping dragged her weak legs downstairs and asked the clerk where she could eat. She was very hungry now and could eat several bowls of food. If she didn't eat, she would faint from hunger.

"Thank you, can you help me hurry up? I've been hungry for two days and I really can't walk." Li Manping asked the waiter. Although the dining room was in the store next to her, she didn't want to leave here.

"Come on, come on," several policemen rushed in, surrounded the waiter and Li Manping, held up a portrait of a different-looking person and asked, "Have you seen this person today? Is there a strange man staying in the store today? He He may be injured. If you see him, come to the police station and report him immediately. This is a red bandit, the most brutal person."

Li Manping was not sure of the man's identity before, but now she was sure that he was a good person and needed her help. She quickly said, "I just moved in today and have never seen this man. But since he is a red bandit, he must have run away. I know If you are trying to catch him, you will definitely run outside, and it is easy to hide outside!"

It seemed that Li Manping's children's words opened up new ideas to the police. They left the place after a rough inquiry. They may have gone back to send more people to guard the intersection.

Li Manping wanted to cry. She seemed to be helpful but not helpful at the same time. Sure enough, she was still young and didn't consider things carefully enough. She needed help from adults to fill the hole she dug. She couldn't really cheat anyone.

When the food was served, she didn't dare to be hungry anymore. She took a few bites of rice hastily, stuffed it to satisfy her stomach, got up and left, and quickly went to find her uncle, father and uncle.

"Dad, dad, wait for me." As soon as he left the hotel, he saw his father passing by the door of the hotel. He waved his hand and called people to stop him.

Li Yixing was talking to Li Yilong when he was stopped by his daughter. He looked back at his daughter who was running, a little curious about the reason for her excitement.

"Dad, uncle, I just did something big, and I might have hurt someone." Li Manping didn't dare to speak loudly, and she didn't dare to delay. She could only tell the key points. She was afraid that she wouldn't have enough time, "I was on the stairs of the hotel. I met a man on the road. He was probably a red gangster. He might have been injured. The police came to see him. I wanted to help him, so I said I had never seen him. If it was true that the red gangsters might have escaped long ago, they would have left. It’s likely that we’ll go back and send more people to guard the intersection.”

After hearing what she said, Li Yixing and Li Yilong's faces twitched, and they wanted to hit her but were reluctant to do so.The immediate priority is to confirm his identity and whether he was injured.If it was really the Red Party, they had to help him deal with his injuries and cover his escape.

"Brother, you have been in the army and you know more about the people and things in the army. Go back and have a look and test it out. If it is true, quickly bandage him. I will buy some necessary things. I really can't get there. When the time comes, just knock him out and let him go slowly."

Li Manping was a little panicked. She didn't seem to have tested whether the space could bring other people in, and how long it would last. She was really not a qualified space master!
