Chapter 3: The First Arrival
I turned my head to see that Su Xin was actually staring at me with a pair of yellow eyes, with a faint green light in her yellow eyes, which looked very weird at night, like the eyes of a fox.
When she saw me looking down at her, she closed her mouth.
At this time, a thunderclap suddenly sounded outside, and Su Xin trembled, retracted her body, and hid in my arms.
When I got up the next day, the rain had not stopped, and the old man got up early to pack the luggage for Su Xin and me, and found another agricultural tricycle.
Su Xin was in my arms until dawn before leaving, and when we met again, she looked at me like no one else, and asked me if I slept well last night, but my feeling told me that the person in my arms yesterday was indeed Su Xin. Although I don't know what the purpose of what she did last night, I didn't ask her in front of her family, so I have time to ask in private!
Because I have watched TV for more than half a month, I have a deeper understanding of the world. For example, the development of science and technology, current political news, as well as various countries, as well as the current sphere of influence, land area, and dynastic changes. But I don't remember my past at all. Of course, I have watched a lot of TV series and movies, and I know a thing or two about the current people.
The old man put me and Su Xin on the bucket behind the farm truck and went back, and Su Xin didn't talk to me along the way. However, the uncle who drove the farm car kept saying Su Xin, you are the first college student in our village, you must study hard, don't go back to this poor place or something like that.
The farm car stopped at the place where it was almost to the county seat, Su Xin and I got off the bus with our luggage, and under the leadership of Su Xin, we took the bus to the most lively place in this small county, the railway station.
I bought a train ticket with my ID card, and Su Xin and I entered the waiting hall of the station. Because it is the beginning of the school season, there are a lot of young people in the hall, and a few of them are Su Xin's classmates.
There are also a few monks in the hall, guarding a pile of luggage, playing with their mobile phones cross-legged, but they look here from time to time.
Su Xin sat next to me, not knowing what she was thinking. The monks got up at the same time and walked over to this side, and one of the monks recited a Buddha name and said to Su Xin: "Little girl, what is wrong with you lately? Or is it that you feel unwell and feel that you don't control yourself?" Su Xin was stunned, looked at me, looked at the monk again, and shook her head. The monk took off a string of prayer beads from his hand with a kind face, "Girl, it is better to meet by chance, we can meet here is a person who is destined, this is given to you, you can be protected in times of crisis." ”
Su Xin said politely, "Thank you, master, I'm just a student and don't have much money." The monk was stunned for a moment, and then recited the Buddha's name, "Don't get me wrong, girl, you can put away the prayer beads." After speaking, he put it directly into Su Xin's hand, turned around and left. Su Xin looked at the dark purple rosary in her hand and carefully put it on her wrist.
When it was time to check in and get on the bus, Su Xin pulled my sleeve and asked me to go with her. After checking our tickets, we started looking for a seat, and I followed her all the time.
She walked over to a seat, "Grandma, this is my seat." There was an old lady sitting on the seat, glanced at Su Xin, and then looked out the window. Su Xin raised her voice a little, "Grandma, this seat is mine." The old lady was still unmoved, Su Xin was about to say again, but before the word milk could be spoken, the old lady turned her head, "Are you troublesome, what's wrong with your seat? I'm so old, can't I sit here? Didn't your teacher teach you to respect the old and love the young? What's wrong with standing at a young age for a while? After saying that, he turned his head to the side again, and Su Xin's face turned red all of a sudden, and tears swirled in his eyes.
I've been watching TV recently, and it mentions respecting the old and loving the young every day, but I think this should be based on the premise of young people's voluntariness, right? It shouldn't be mandatory for them, I was going to directly pull up the old man in front of me, Su Xin took my hand, "Forget it, forget it." Then looking for my place, I asked Su Xin to sit down, and she shirked twice and sat down. There are so many people on the bus that there are almost no places to stand.
After half an hour, Su Xin took my hand, "Brother Tianyu, you can sit for a while!" I shook my head, "You can sit! I'm not tired." "Another stop arrived, many people got off the car, and the uncle next to Su Xin also went down, and I sat next to Su Xin.
After ten minutes, the car started, and I looked out the window at the trees and houses running upside down, and I had a lot of thoughts in my heart. Su Xin couldn't hold on, and fell asleep directly with her head on my thigh.
In a trance, I smelled a strange fragrance that made my head dizzy. Looking at the carriage of people all closed their eyes, I closed my eyes too. I heard the sound of someone eating. The sound seemed to be the sound of someone gnawing on chicken feet and eating crispy bones. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw something like a monkey riding on the face of a young man opposite, looking down and biting it, feeling that it was very delicious.
It seemed to sense my gaze, holding a bloody eyeball, and turned its head to look at me. Looking at each other, it actually ran away. And the face of the young man in front of him was not unusual, as if everything was an illusion just now.
The train pulled into the tunnel, and I couldn't see my fingers, and I felt that the air had dropped a lot. I gently lifted Su Xin's head and put it in her seat, then stood up.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and I looked for the smell and walked forward, the smell became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that two people were talking, but I couldn't really hear it. My body's instincts made me stop and feel that there was extreme danger ahead. Time passed little by little, and the tunnel seemed to be impossible to open again, and the carriage was shrouded in darkness, and in the distance someone was dragging heavy chains towards me, very slowly, but the sound of the chains pulling the floor was like a stroke on my heart.
Not knowing what to do, the train pulled out of the tunnel. The sudden arrival of the light made me temporarily blind, and after a long time of adaptation, I opened my eyes. Everything in the carriage is back to normal, and it is still full of people, like a vegetable market.
I turned around and returned to my seat, Su Xin was already awake, holding a peeled hard-boiled egg in her hand, and when she saw me, she handed the egg over and motioned for me to eat. I took it and swallowed it, it didn't taste good, it was a little stuck. Su Xin snorted, unscrewed the can, blinked and said, "Drink some water!" I sat down and looked at the young man in front of me who was still sleeping. Su Xin also glanced at him and turned her head to look at me, "What's the matter?" Brother Tianyu. I shook my head and didn't speak.
"Melon seeds, drinks, mineral water, beer, ham, instant noodles......" A middle-aged woman in uniform pushes a trolley and walks around the already crowded carriage. The person next to her consciously gave up her place, and someone exchanged money for the things in her car.
Su Xin glanced at it and twisted her head out the window. I stared at the middle-aged woman, and the middle-aged woman stared at me, "Young man, what do you want?" I probably thought I was looking at her, and she was a little trembling when she spoke. I glanced at the contents of the trolley, and I had seen a few of them on TV, but I didn't seem to have the money, and she probably wouldn't give it to me, so I shook my head. She ignored me and pushed the cart over.
Su Xin turned her head and said to me, "I'm sorry!" I asked curiously, "Why did you tell me I'm sorry?" Su Xin rubbed her hands, "If you hadn't taken out all the money to pay off my dad's debts, it wouldn't have been like this." She was still struggling with that, and I shook my head, "It doesn't matter, I'm just curious about those things, and I don't mean anything else." Su Xin shook her head, "Brother Tianyu, when I earn money, I will be the first to pay you back." I nodded, "That's a deal." Su Xin nodded heavily and rested her head on my shoulder.
There was an old lady sitting next to the young man across from me, and she wanted to get up and go to the toilet, and pushed him, but there was no response, and she pushed again, and the young man fell directly to the ground. The old lady screamed directly, and a group of people gathered around, making the already crowded carriage even more crowded.
After a while, a middle-aged man in a police uniform walked over, patted the young man, and rolled his eyelids again. He took out a walkie-talkie and spoke a few words into it. A woman's voice came from above the carriage, telling the doctor on the train to come to car number five.
After a while, two people, a young man and an old man, came in from the crowd, both carrying a small box on their backs, pressing and listening to the young man on the ground.
After nearly ten minutes, he got up and said to the uniformed man: "It should be sudden cerebral congestion, caused by sudden death." ”
Several people carried the young man on the ground away, and the carriage was instantly empty. Su Xin grabbed my arm tightly, as if she was afraid that I would run away.
At this time, the train entered another tunnel, but the lights on the roof were on, some people were playing with their phones, some were sleeping, and no one seemed to care that a person had just died here.
It was getting dark, and there was a gurgling sound in Su Xin's stomach, and then she took out a plastic bag from her bag, which contained some cakes and steamed buns, and a jar of pickles prepared by her grandmother. Hand me a biscuit, and I took it in three or two bites and ate it. Su Xin handed me another one, and I ate it in three or two bites.
At this time, the voice of the woman in the afternoon sounded over the train again, "We have prepared a sumptuous dinner for you in the dining car." When I heard this, I said to Su Xin, "Let's go there and eat!" Su Xin took my hand, "I want money there." "I groaned and didn't move.
Since there are dead people in this carriage today, there are not many people seated, and the opposite seat is not occupied at all, and many people would rather stand than sit.
After eating, Su Xin took out a book and read it. I was bored, and I didn't know what to do, so I stared at Su Xin in a daze.
Su Xin may have sensed my gaze, looking at me, her face slowly turned red, just like an apple. Su Xin lowered her head and asked me, "Brother Tianyu, why do you keep looking at me?" I hummed for a while, "I don't know." Su Xin's face turned even redder, and the roots of her ears were as if they had been burned by fire.
I turned my head away, and Su Xin buried her head directly in the book.
It wasn't until almost noon the next day that the train stopped at the North Railway Station of L City, which is also the terminus of the train. Su Xin and I walked out of the crowded train station with our luggage.
In the square in front of the station, there were several student-looking people holding signs with Chujiang University written on them.
Su Xin took my hand and walked up to the students, "Hello, I'm a freshman at Chujiang University. As he spoke, he took out the acceptance letter.
One of the tall and thin men took the admission letter and looked at it, and shook Su Xin's hand with a smile on his face, "Hello senior sister, I am your senior brother." The car is over there, I'll take you there!" After speaking, he reached out and snatched the bag in my hand, "I'll take it! Where are you from? It's hard enough along the way, right? In the future, at school, you can find me if you have something." My name is Zhang Qiang, what's your name?" Su Xin lowered her head and said her name, then told him my name and kept saying thank you.
Su Xin and I got on a red bus under the leadership of Zhang Qiang. There were already more than a dozen people in the car, Zhang Qiang settled us down, said hello to the driver and got out of the car again. After half an hour, the empty space on the car was basically gone, and the driver directly closed the door, started the car, turned around, and drove in the direction of Chujiang University.
This L city is full of high-rise buildings, busy with traffic, full of people, and lively. It's exactly the same as in the TV series, and although I already know how the TV works, I was still very excited to see the scenery on the TV for the first time. Su Xin also stared at her curious eyes, looking left and right, feeling that she couldn't see enough.
