Fall in a second

Layers of nervous sweat began to appear on the thief's face, and the hand holding the wallet was still trembling slightly in mid-air, it was the first time in his pickpocket career that he encountered Waterloo, it was obviously the middle of the night after the election, everyone was sleepy and tired He fell asleep, the right time, place and people were all satisfied, but he missed it, he was quite unbelievable.

"Give it to me." Yan Chu stretched out his hand expressionlessly. It was quite calm, but it had a deterrent force that didn't match her age.

The thief's eyes were wandering, and he obviously refused to let go. When he wanted to speak out, he heard Yan Chu amplify the volume, and shouted in the whole car: "There is a thief!"

People started to wake up one after another in the carriage, and some people cast their eyes on them. The thief started to panic now, dropped Yan Chu's wallet, turned around and ran, Yan Chu caught his wallet, The thief was also hugged by a group of men when he was about to escape from the carriage.

"The thief still wants to run away?"

"Ah, my phone is gone!"

"mine too!"

There were voices one after another in the carriage.

"I'm going to catch you right now, and wait to go to jail."

Everyone tied up the thief in solidarity, and called the police on the train. They got the stolen goods and they planned to take the thief down to receive the punishment they deserved when they stopped at the next stop.

Everyone was very indignant at this incident, but at the same time, they were also very grateful to Yan Chu who stood up bravely. For this reason, some people gave her fruits, local products from his hometown, etc., but Yan Chu refused.

She didn't feel that she had done much good, she just wanted to get her wallet back, and the thief who didn't want to do bad things got away with it.

Glancing at the time, it would be dawn in more than an hour, Yan Chu put away his wallet, lay down on the small table again, and continued to catch up on sleep.

After falling asleep for a while, the train gradually became noisy again. Yan Chu turned his face on his face with his eyes closed and rested his sore arms on his pillow, and turned over again after a few minutes. no.

I suddenly opened my eyes and found that it was already dawn, and outside the car window were vast plains, distinct farmlands, small ponds, and scattered houses.

Yan Chu got up and went to wash her face. Of course, she always carried her wallet and mobile phone with her. After experiencing the pickpocket incident, she became more cautious.

I don’t want to go back to my seat for the time being, my buttocks are numb after sitting for a long time, and Yan Chu’s wrists and arms are also numb, because I sleep on my stomach, the blood circulation is not smooth, and now they are also sore and numb, so I stretched my muscles and bones while standing. On the mobile phone, I received a message from Ah Ming. It was a video of the school playground. There were many people there, wearing uniform camouflage uniforms.

Yan Chu was really envious when he saw it. Such a rich and colorful life was something he didn't have.

Put away the mobile phone and go back to the seat, the sky is completely bright, people on the train come and go, all kinds of aromas flow in the small space, there are braised duck necks, instant noodles, spicy strips, steamed buns, I heard that it was bought in the restaurant compartment of the train.

The most fragrant is the steamed stuffed bun, which seems to overwhelm the taste of all the food.

Someone in the carriage began to ask where they bought it, and the other party replied that they were not in a hurry. After a while, a dining car came to sell it. She ran to buy it because the child at home was hungry.

Worried that the price would be expensive, Yan Chu didn't buy it, and swallowed his saliva for an hour.

She never wanted to go through this kind of poor life again. She secretly vowed in her heart that she must earn a lot of money, a lot of money, eat whatever she wanted, and wear whatever she wanted.

At 25:31 noon, the lunch trolley appeared in the compartment on time. It was still the same routine as last night. There were [-] or [-] lunch boxes. There were not many people buying in the compartment. Most people chose to eat their own food or Some people are reluctant to eat instant noodles due to financial constraints, and some people dislike the taste of instant noodles.

After gaining experience, Yan Chu was not in a hurry to buy lunch. She wanted to wait for an hour or two, and then buy it by herself when there was still a little left that could not be sold to lower the price.

This not only saves money, but also has a full meal, but in reality, there are not so many things that go well. Yan Chu didn't wait for the opportunity this time, and the dining car that sold lunch didn't come again. She guessed that it might be because The other carriages are sold out.

Hungry and grunting, and he will not arrive at the station until eight o'clock in the evening, Yan Chu has to let himself eat something. Once again, when the small cart selling snacks arrives, Yan Chu takes a ten-yuan Qian asked the flight attendant for a box of instant noodles, flavored with pickled peppers, but the other party only gave her two dollars.

Yan Chu was a little puzzled holding the money: "Isn't instant noodles worth five yuan a box?"

The flight attendant smiled with a look that looked at her very young: "Girl, it's your first time to take the train. Everything on the train is at this price. How about it? Do you want instant noodles? I'll go to the next carriage. "

Being held there, there was no reason not to, Yan Chu silently took back the two dollars he had changed, and was holding the instant noodle box to fetch hot water.

"So, in the future, it's best to buy good things and bring them with you before you take the train. Everything here is more expensive than outside." An old woman sitting in the aisle said.

Yan Chu smiled embarrassedly, she had a long memory.

Lu Ming: The military exercise is over, we are on vacation.

Yan Chu, who was eating instant noodles on the small table, received this message and typed a reply to her with one hand.

Yan Chu: Do you know how expensive the instant noodles on the train are? It costs five yuan outside, and eight yuan here. There is also mineral water, which costs one yuan outside, and three yuan here.

Lu Ming: I know this. Last time I took the high-speed rail, I didn’t buy any food. Fortunately, my mother packed some apples for me before going out. Oh, the food on the high-speed rail is really expensive, 50 yuan a piece portion.

Yan Chu: By the way, your mother also gave me some apples today.

Lu Ming: Really? [Surprised.JPG]

Yan Chu: It's embarrassing to say, my family's old antique motorcycle can't be driven, and the time is urgent. My dad went to borrow the car from your family, and then your mother gave me an apple.

Lu Ming: Are they all okay at home?

Lu Ming held the phone, because Ah Chu's words touched the softest part of her heart, the relative she missed the most.

Yan Chu: Very good, Aunt Ye is still so young and good-looking, Uncle Lu is very handsome, your parents are really loving.

Seeing this, Lu Ming felt relieved. It was the first time in her life that she was away from home for a month, and she really missed them.

Lu Ming: I'm going to the cafeteria to have a meal now, and then go back to Aunt Ji's place to put things away, and I'll wait for you at the station later.

Yan Chu: Well, okay, I will see you soon, Ah Ming, I am so happy.

Lu Ming: There are still seven hours~

At two o'clock in the afternoon, when Lu Ming contacted Ah Chu, Lu Ming packed up the dormitory. After all, he had to leave for seven days, and some things on the bed had to be packed, otherwise the next time he came back, it would be a layer of dust. She has a casual meal.

Lu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We'll see each other in seven days."

Shen Jinye retorted her: "Who made it so difficult for you to make an appointment? You only have eyes for your fiancée. Okay, hurry up and eat, I'm starving to death."

At this time, the school cafeteria is basically in the state of getting off work, and there are not many people eating here. The first floor can be counted on one hand. It is very empty, and the seats can be seated wherever you want.

But there are not many windows to choose from, and most of Luming’s favorite restaurants have closed their doors. The two girls wandered around and finally ordered a bowl of noodles each in disappointment.

"Is your friend coming here today?" Shen Jinye asked while eating.

Lu Ming nodded: "The train arrives at eight o'clock in the evening."

"Then you still want to pick her up?"

"Of course." Lu Ming replied without hesitation.

"I'm so envious." Shen Jinye rested his chin with one hand.

Lu Ming replied with a smile: "If you also take the car, I will pick you up too."

"Then you have to keep your word." Shen Jinye murmured, he didn't expect that it was just an unintentional sentence, but it would be realized in that way in the future.

After dinner, the two girls dragged their suitcases and separated from the school gate. One walked east and the other west. Lu Ming took a bus on the bus, which was extremely crowded. Most of them were students from the school. Big boxes with almost no place to stay.

This state remained unchanged until she got off the car. Lu Ming couldn't remember whether she got out of the car by herself or was pushed out of the car. Anyway, she finally arrived at Aunt Ji's house.

The door lock of Aunt Ji's house had already entered Lu Ming's fingerprints. She put her finger on it, and the door opened at once. Out of politeness, Lu Ming called softly.

"Aunt Ji, I'm back."

The man dragged the box inside and stood at the entrance for a while, the house was so silent that Lu Ming didn't know whether to take the right foot or the left.

"Aunt Ji?" Lu Ming called softly again, but there was still silence.

Is it not at home?

Lu Ming was a little worried, fearing that something might happen to Aunt Ji when she was alone at home, she hurriedly changed her shoes, threw the suitcase in the porch and ran to find Aunt Ji, Aunt Ji's bedroom door was open, and the bed was neatly arranged , not sleeping, he must have gone out, Lu Ming was relieved.

Going back and dragging the suitcase to the room, Lu Ming packed up a set of clothes, picked up what Ah Chu was going to wear at night, then took off the camouflage uniform on his body and washed it off, the clothes should be kept as a souvenir, To commemorate the playground where sweat was shed in the first month of freshman year.

Everything was packed, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and Aunt Ji still hadn't come back. Lu Ming sent her a message saying that she had come back, but she hasn't received a reply yet.

Starting from Aunt Ji’s house, take the bus for two stops and then take the subway. You need to transfer once in the middle, and then go straight to the train station. It takes about an hour and a half on the way. To be on the safe side, Luming will leave two hours in advance , which is six o'clock in the afternoon.

During this period, Lu Ming couldn't keep in touch with Ah Chu, because she knew that Ah Chu's phone didn't have much battery left, so she needed to save some power to contact her when the time came, otherwise, finding someone in such a huge train station would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Two hours before departure, Lu Ming sat there and turned on the phone, then turned it off, turned it on, and turned it off again. What did Aunt Ji do? She was not used to seeing her when she came back for the first time.

In order to pass the rest of the time, she decided to find something for herself to do. On the balcony were some flowers planted by Aunt Ji, among which the hibiscus was the most luxuriant, and the small pale pink flowers were densely blooming, like an explosion. , Lu Ming couldn't help thinking of the top of his head when he woke up in the morning.

After watering each plant one by one, Lu Ming sat on the rattan chair and shook for a while, then she suddenly remembered that once she came out of the shower, she accidentally saw Aunt Ji sitting here swinging gently, her gentle sideways Face, hair raised slightly, toes still seem to be swaying slightly, just like a little girl.

Time passed without knowing it.

Yan Chu on the train felt that he was about to pass his time. At first, it was because many people on the train asked, "Is that the most iconic TV station?" Some people said, "No, it hasn't entered the city yet. .”

Yan Chu's eyes were fixed on the window. Although she hadn't entered the city yet, she could already see the movement. Right in front of her, her heart began to jump up, full of fighting spirit.

At this time, Lu Ming was about to leave.

After closing the door of Aunt Ji's house, Lu Ming went out with her mobile phone. Following the planned route, she boarded the bus smoothly, sent a message to Ah Chu at every step, and then went to the next stop to take the subway.

When Lu Ming came to this city, she had never taken the subway before, but in order to avoid embarrassment at the scene, she searched for strategies on the Internet, but she didn't expect that there were people like her who didn't know how to take the subway.

The subway station is very big, even bigger than the train station in her hometown, and everywhere is extremely clean. Lu Ming took the elevator down to take the subway. Although she was a novice, she was also trembling. .

After sitting for half an hour, I got down and changed trains, and took another direct line to the train station. At this time, the train that Yan Chu took had already entered the city.

The train passes through the city, there are houses, bridges, and high-rise buildings everywhere, which is dazzling.

Yan Chu was so excited that he took several photos and sent them to Ah Ming. It turns out that the metropolis is like this. She really wanted to go in and have a look inside instead of just passing by on the surface.

For Yan Chu, who has grown wildly in the mountain village for 18 years, the city is full of novel temptations everywhere. She regrets that she did not come earlier, but it is not too late now, after all, Ah Ming has only just arrived. Woolen cloth.

19:35.

Lu Ming arrived at the train station, came out from the underground and directly took the elevator up to the station exit, just waiting for Ah Chu here.

Before coming here, Lu Ming was worried that it would be very complicated, but after doing it herself, it didn't seem that difficult.

At the exit, there are people waiting like her, some are men, some are women, some are older, and some are with children.

As the sky was getting late, the whole city was lit up, Yan Chu was lying in front of the window watching, the speed of the car had already slowed down, and the radio said that it was about to arrive at the station.

She sent a message to Ah Ming: I'm almost there.

Lu Ming replied: I will wait for you at the exit.

Neither of the two simple girls expected that the train station in a big city has more than one exit, and it is divided into ABCDE... If you are not careful, you will miss it.

After the train arrived at the station, Yan Chu came out with the flow of people. Because she was not familiar with the terrain and the place of life, she chose to follow most people, and that direction happened to be another exit.

After coming out, Yan Chu didn't see Lu Ming anywhere, so he had to call her quickly.

"Ah Ming, where are you, I didn't see you."

"I'm at the exit." Lu Ming said, his eyes still searching the crowd coming out of the exit, "I didn't see you either."

"How could this happen? I'm already at the exit." Yan Chu started to feel a little anxious, and asked a passerby, who woke her up with one sentence: "Ask where your friend is waiting for you Slightly."

"Ah Ming, I'm at Exit A, where are you?"

Lu Ming looked up and saw the big letter B, and blamed herself for being dazzled for not noticing it for so long.

"I'm in B, then I'll go find you now!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you right here, my phone is going to be turned off," but before Yan Chu could finish his sentence, the screen of the phone was turned off, Lu Ming looked at the hung up phone and hurried to Exit A according to the instructions.

The two people who were supposed to meet at eight o'clock were dragged off until 08:30.

"Ah Chu."

"Ah Ming."

The two girls were very excited when they finally met.

"You have worked so hard to sit in the car for so long."

Yan Chu shook his head: "I don't remember how I got here now, I'm so excited, take me away quickly."

Lu Ming smiled and nodded: "Are you hungry, should we find a place to eat first?"

Along the way, I saw KFC McDonald's and other stores in the lobby, but the price would not be cheap. The two girls' wallets were quite thin, so they didn't even think about going there.

Yan Chu also excitedly promised: "Ah Ming, when I make money, I invite you to go in there and have a feast."

Lu Ming smiled happily, her eyes narrowed into a line: "No need, you can eat whatever you want, I don't pick anything."

"Well, there's a noodle restaurant over there, let's go in and eat a bowl of noodles casually." Yan Chu pointed his finger, which may be the first impression given, the noodle restaurant's storefront is not big, at best it only looks like [-] square meters, The decoration is also relatively ordinary, and the price will be cheap.

After the two girls went in, they first dragged the suitcase in and put it next to the stool. The boss glanced through the kitchen glass and said, "There is a menu on the table, look at it yourself."

Without further ado, Lu Ming gave the menu to Yan Chu and said, "Look, I invite you."

"Then how can I do it? Let me ask you, it's hard for you to run so far to pick me up." Yan Chu said.

"It's okay. It's very comfortable to take the subway. I won't get motion sickness at all. I listened to music along the way. I'm not tired. You can order it." It's not too expensive, and everyone can afford it, but Ah Chu is different. Although she doesn't say anything, Lu Ming has known her for so many years and knows her family situation. Before she went out, her uncle and aunt must not have given too much money.

The two pushed and shoved each other, and the noodle shop owner couldn't stand it anymore.

At this moment, Yan Chu caught a glimpse of the price on the menu by accident, and quickly pressed it to check it, still muttering something.

"What, a bowl of beef noodles is 58 yuan, and a bowl of seafood and abalone noodles is 98 yuan. Is this robbery? Is this gold noodles?"

Hearing this, Lu Ming curiously took the menu to check. The cheapest price was 58, followed by 68, 78, 98, and the most expensive was 128 noodles.

Bye bye, unaffordable noodles.

A good bowl of beef noodles in the school cafeteria only sells for eight yuan at most, how can it be so expensive here QAQ.

"Hey, two girls, have you figured out what to eat?" the boss asked.

Yan Chu looked at Lu Ming in embarrassment, the atmosphere between the two of them froze, it was so expensive and I didn't want to eat it.

Yan Chu mouthed to her: "Do you want to go?"

Lu Ming mouthed her answer: "Let's go."

The two of them didn't do anything, got up and dragged their suitcases, and left the noodle shop like a gust of wind.

He walked fast for a long time before slowing down.

Yan Chu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What kind of noodles, they are so expensive."

Lu Ming nunuzui replied, "Maybe it's because I'm at the train station, so..."

Yan Chu put his hand on his forehead, and asked worriedly: "Is it because the consumption in big cities is so high? If so, I might as well go back to the countryside."

"No, no." Lu Ming said with a smile: "In ordinary breakfast shops outside, a bowl of plain noodles costs less than ten yuan, and it will be a little more expensive if you add meat."

"Well, well, then I can accept it." Yan Chu pursed his lips.

But the two of them were walking, and suddenly they couldn't help laughing again, Yan Chu said: "I think we really have a good understanding just now."

Lu Ming was also happy and said, "Yes, I guess the boss must be very angry."

Yan Chu rubbed his stomach and frowned, "I'm really hungry. It would be great if there are big steamed buns for sale somewhere."

Lu Ming covered her mouth and giggled: "It's late at night now, where can there be steamed buns for sale?"

"Hey, didn't you say that you are temporarily staying at Ji Youqing's house during the holidays, does she know if you come out at night?"

"I sent a message to Aunt Ji when I went out." After Lu Ming finished speaking, she secretly glanced at her phone while she was not paying attention. In the chat box with Aunt Ji, several recent messages were from her. Aunt Ji still has nothing. reply her.

Lu Ming was actually quite worried, but now she had something to do and couldn't get away. Ah Chu just came here, and she was the only friend she knew well.

It stands to reason that Aunt Ji is an adult, and before Lu Ming appeared, she was doing well, she didn't need to worry about Lu Ming at all, but she just couldn't let it go, she was born with a desire to protect her, but I didn't dare to ask her where she went, and I didn't know how to speak.

"What's the matter with you, are you worried?" Yan Chu saw her frown.

"No, it's okay. I'm thinking about where we should go to eat later." Lu Ming raised her head and smiled, she was as sunny and refreshed as ever, she led Yan Chu into the subway station, bought a subway ticket for her, and said, "Let's go first Back to the city."

"Ah Ming, I really envy you. You've only been here for a month, and you're already like the people in the city."

"No, no." Lu Ming waved her hands again and again, and whispered in her ear: "Actually, it's my first time taking the subway today. I was afraid of embarrassing myself, so I checked the strategy on the Internet."

"Really!"

The two girls laughed together.

the other side.

There were two women sitting in the black car, they were in the driver's seat and the co-pilot's seat respectively, and the car was driving on the intercity expressway at a constant speed.

"You come out today, does Lu Ming know?"

"Didn't tell her."

"...I think next time, you can consider bringing her with you. You will have to face it anyway."

Ji Youqing turned her head to look at the mirror outside the car window, where her blurred face was reflected, and she replied: "It's still early."
