From Lancheng to Yangcheng, the train journey is nearly 2,500 kilometers.

In this age when the average speed of trains is less than 60 kilometers per hour, even express trains need to run for two days and two nights.

For example, the K-head train used by Pang Xuelin stops and stops from time to time, or makes way for other trains due to scheduling reasons. Therefore, the actual speed is much lower when it arrives. It takes four days and three nights to reach Yangcheng.

When Pang Xuelin came to the hard sleeper, he found that there were not many people in the hard sleeper.

It's May, and it's not yet the peak of holiday travel. In addition, this bus leaves from Lancheng. It must go through Chang'an, which is also the destination of most people who leave from Lancheng.

Therefore, most visitors to Chang'an will choose the hard seat, and only those who go straight to Yangcheng like Pang Xuelin will choose the hard sleeper.

When Pang Xuelin arrived in the hard-bedroom where he was, he found that there were already two people in the compartment.

A man in his thirties, shaved with an inch on his head, looks skinny, wears a normal leather jacket, and looks taciturn.

The other was a fat man in his thirties, wearing a suit with a bright gold chain around his neck.

The fat man seemed a bit surprised at Pang Xuelin's age, staring at Pang Xuelin for a while, then he looked back.

Pang Xuelin's position is the lower bunk, and the soldier-like man is in the middle bunk. He crawled to his position and lay down early.

Instead, the fat man sat opposite Pang Xuelin, took out a bag of peanuts from his bag and listened to the beer, and ate it comfortably.

After a while, the train started rumbling.

Pang Xuelin had nothing to do, so he found a "Principles of Microeconomics" borrowed from the Lancheng University Library from his backpack and looked at it.

At this moment, the fat man was curious: "brother, where are you going?"

"Yangcheng."

Pang Xuelin glanced at the fat man and smiled.

"Yo, you go to Yangcheng too?"

The fat man's eyes brightened, and he smiled, "You look young, don't you? Go to Yangcheng to study?"

"In business, my face is tender and I'm actually twenty-five!"

Pang Xuelin said with a smile.

"Oh, I didn't expect to meet my colleagues. Fortunately, my little brother, this is my business card."

The fat man laughed, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Pang Xuelin.

Pang Xuelin took a look at: Liu Qi, manager of Shenzhen City Dragon Trading Co., Ltd.

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "Brother Liu, hello, my name is Ma Yandong. Listen to your accent, aren't you from Lancheng?"

The fat man gave a thumbs up and said, "My little brother is terrific. I'm from Yangcheng. I'm in the antique jade business. This time I went to Xinjiang to visit Hetian Jade. I was going to get some from Xiangjiang and sell it. Xiangjiang The big boss over there likes these things. "

In this era, those who went to Yangcheng to do business were water tourists, down-lords, and powerful people who took rivers and lakes.

Pang Xuelin didn't expect that there was still an antique jade business.

Then, the two chatted enthusiastically. Pang Xuelin wanted to learn about the situation in Yangcheng from the mouth of the fat man. The fat man was purely talkative and wanted to talk to someone.

Pang Xuelin specially picked good words to talk to the fat man, and soon became familiar with him.

"Brother Ma, if you have time, you must come to Shencheng. I have a way to take you through Xiangjiang to take a look. It is a truly international metropolis ..."

"But it ’s not easy to go to Shencheng now, you have to have a border defense certificate, otherwise you won't be able to pass the second line, but you can rest assured, if you want to go, my brother will help you find a snakehead, it will definitely get you past ...

"Warwick, this company has not heard of it, eh, now in Shencheng, as long as there is a way to open the channel on the Xiangjiang side, just taking a trip to the goods is a tens of thousands of revenue ..."

...

The fat man's mouth gushed, mostly bragging, but also gave Pang Xuelin a lot of dry goods.

Seeing that it was approaching noon, Pang Xuelin stood up and smiled, "Brother Liu, thank you for providing so much information to me. I invite you to have a meal."

"Oh, brother Ma, how sorry for that?"

Liu Qi said so, but he got up cheerfully and followed Pang Xuelin to the dining car.

The dining car of this era is the same as the later generations. The price is high, and the number of people who come to eat is very small.

However, Pang Xuelin didn't care. Eating in a dining car was better than eating instant noodles and bread.

Pang Xuelin ordered two dishes and one soup, gongbao chicken, tomato scrambled eggs and a laver egg soup.

Both gobbled up and ate.

In the afternoon, Pang Xuelin closed his eyes on his bunk and waited until he woke up. It was already evening.

This time, instead, Liu Qi took Pang Xuelin to the dining car and said he would invite him back.

Pang Xuelin had no choice but to follow.

As for the man with a plate-like appearance, he ate dry food for both meals.

No words overnight.

Early the next morning, when Pang Xuelin woke up from his sleep, the car had stopped at Chang'an Station. The Banchuangtou man was not taken in the middle shop, and it seemed to be washing.

Seeing Pang Xuelin woke up, Liu Qi smiled at Pang Xuelin and said, "Brother Ma, early."

"Brother Liu, early!"

Pang Xuelin smiled.

Just then, the fat man suddenly whistled.

Pang Xuelin looked down the fat man's eyes, and saw a pair of men and women who looked like father and daughter came over.

The man was in his fifties, dressed in a decent sun-shirt, with glasses, and had an elegant atmosphere.

The only regret is that the man's legs and feet seemed to be a little inconvenient, walking on crutches, and walking up and down a bit.

But the most eye-catching is the foreign girl wearing a floral skirt behind the man.

The girl carried a huge suitcase and followed behind the middle-aged man.

She was seventeen or eighteen years old, tall, with a floral skirt, small leather shoes, and cotton socks just to the ankle, exposing her slim white legs.

Her pony tail is high, and she has a beautiful face without applying powder daisies. Even though Pang Xuelin has become accustomed to the beauty of Qi Xin and Yao Bingxia, at this time, she can't help but feel a little amazing.

Fatty Liu's eyes were glaring round, and almost even Harako flowed out.

The middle-aged man took the girl to the compartment where Pang Xuelin and the fat man were, and said to the girl, "Nizi, sleep on the bunk."

"Ok."

The girl nodded and placed the suitcase under the bed. At this moment, she turned to look at Pang Xuelin and Liu Qi, and finally said to Pang Xuelin: "This big brother, look at the inconvenience of my father's legs and feet, his position is on your side Look at the upper bunk, can you change your position, you sleep on the upper bunk, how is my dad sleeping on your lower bunk? "

Before waiting for Pang Xuelin to speak, Liu Qi quickly said, "Little sister, let me change with your father. I am young and strong, and I have no problem sleeping on the bunk."

"Thank you."

The middle-aged man smiled politely and said, "I'll change with this little brother. This position is just to see my daughter and it's easy to talk to my daughter."

Seeing Liu Qi's disappointment, the little girl immediately pouted and smiled.

"Okay, then I'll sleep on the bunk."

Pang Xuelin nodded, lifted his backpack, and climbed directly to the upper bunk.

The young girl also took off her shoes, followed the climb to the upper bunk, and smiled sweetly toward Pang Xuelin: "Brother, thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Pang Xuelin smiled and said.

The fat man sitting in the bunk was so envious that his eyes almost glared.

But he couldn't say anything.

After a while, the man with a small head also returned, and he was not surprised to see two more people in the compartment, and went straight back to his bunk to lie down.

And Liu Fatzi talked with the middle-aged man in the bunk.

From their conversation, Pang Xuelin learned that the middle-aged man, who looks a bit elegant, called Mu Donglai, was a professor at Chang'an Jiaotong University. This time, he is going to send his daughter Mu Qingqing to Xiangjiang University.

Not long ago, Mu Qingqing won the gold medal on behalf of the Chinese team in the International Physics Olympiad hosted by the United Kingdom. At the same time, it has been recruited by Peking University, Tsinghua University, Xiangjiang University, Nanyang Technological University and other famous universities.

Mu Donglai has a cousin who has been doing business in Xiangjiang since liberation.

Xiangjiang University ranked far above Peking University and Tsinghua University in this era.

Therefore, Mu Dong is ready to send Mu Qingqing to Xiangjiang for a look.

Liu Fatzi has a strong social ability, even if Mu Dong came to a university professor like this, he was licked and comfortable.

However, Mu Qingqing looked a little embarrassed when the fat man touted it too much.

The next day, nothing special happened. When eating, they also had their own meals. Liu Fatzi originally wanted to invite Mu Donglai to eat with her daughter, but Mu Donglai refused directly.

As the day passed, several people in the cubicle became familiar.

Even the hard-headed man, everyone knows his name Jane An.

However, he said very little, so he answered only one question. Pang Xuelin only knew that he had just transferred from the army and was about to go to Yangcheng to find a job.

Mu Qingqing looks cheerful, maybe similar to Pang Xuelin, Pang Xuelin has changed positions with his father, and occasionally chats with Pang Xuelin.

Pang Xuelin didn't dare to provoke her sister anytime, most of the time it was eh.

Mu Qingqing saw that Pang Xuelin didn't care about himself, so he didn't talk much. He found a book from his box and read it.

At ten in the evening, the lights in the compartment went off.

Pang Xuelin wasn't sleepy at all, squinting and closing his eyes.

It was the bunk, and soon there was a snoring from Liu Fat.

Pang Xuelin was accustomed to such a voice under the training of Shuiwa, but he didn't find it annoying.

Mu Qingqing, who was opposite him, obviously couldn't stand the snoring, and couldn't sleep.

Time unknowingly passed, just as Pang Xuelin was about to fall asleep, he suddenly opened his eyes, and startled Jane An, who showed half a head on his side.

"what happened?"

Pang Xuelin groaned.

"Shh!"

Jane put her forefinger to her mouth and pointed to the car in front of her: "Don't make a noise, someone is robbing."

Pang Xuelin frowned slightly.

Mu Qingqing opposite him also got up, wondering, "What's wrong?"

"I just went to the toilet and saw that the hard-seat carriage over there was already under control."

Pang Xuelin frowned: "How many people?"

"Only four can be seen, two with guns in their hands, and two with axe ..."

Pang Xuelin nodded and climbed down from the upper bunk.

Both Mu Donglai and Liu Fatty have been awakened. Mu Donglai is quite calm, but Liu Fatty looks panicked.

"What to do, what to do? Why am I so unlucky, after a short trip to Hotan, I encountered this kind of thing ..."

Fat Liu cried and said with a sad face.

Instead, Mu Dong came to be calmer and said, "Be quiet, where is our train now?"

Jane said, "It should be Shonan."

Mu Dong said, "That's right. Everyone pays fifty dollars in their pockets, or puts them directly in their hands, then lays back to their bunk and continues to sleep."

Jane An slightly surprised: "Mr. Mu, what are you doing?"

Mu Dong came: "This group of people should be robbers from the south of Hunan. They are all locals. They have a set of rules for robbing trains. Twenty per person in hard seats, fifty per person in hard sleepers, and soft sleepers. They do n’t provoke them, they do n’t make a fortune, we are a disaster…

At this time, Liu Fatzi returned to his heart, relieved suddenly: "It was them, that's good, that's good. This group of people is still moral, no matter how much money you have, they only need so much ..."

Jane frowned: "Is this nobody's care?"

Mu Donglai smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to control it, but that I can't manage it. The neighborhood is located in a mountainous area, and there are ethnic minority villages everywhere. Needless to say arresting people. The local can only open one eye and close one eye, as long as things are not troublesome, then everything is easy to say ... "

"but……"

Jane frowned.

Mu Dong came and said, "Okay, don't do it, no one can do this kind of thing. Besides, they all have guys in their hands, can you do them?"

Having said that, Mu Donglai took out two fifty-dollar bills from his inner lining, one in his coat pocket, and one handed to the slightly frightened Mu Qingqing, saying, "Qing Qing, don't be afraid You can hold the money, lie down with your eyes closed, and pretend to know nothing. "

"father……"

Mu Qingqing took the money and looked a little nervous.

"Okay, don't be afraid, just pretend that nothing happened ..."

Mu Qingqing felt helpless ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ and had to lie down.

Fat Liu also quickly took out fifty dollars and held it in his hand, lying on the bunk with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep.

Jian An looked at her helplessly and looked at Pang Xuelin, saying, "Little brother, you can lie down, as long as the other party is not too much, then treat it as a means of breaking money ..."

"it is good!"

Pang Xuelin grinned, exposed a row of white flowers, and lay down.

Jane An also lay back to her bunk.

Pang Xuelin turned to his side and opened his eyes, and saw Mu Qingqing's eyes open as well, looking nervous at himself.

Pang Xuelin smiled at her and made a reassuring gesture.

Mu Qingqing's mood eased a little, and she smiled at Pang Xuelin, then closed her eyes.
