Chapter 30 The Mysterious Man on the Train
After arranging what happened to the village, the two of them prepared to return to Los Angeles.
Zhao Ping'an originally planned to leave by plane as before, but Hua Nai strongly objected that she was airsick, so the two of them had no choice but to buy the last two train tickets and embark on a trip back to Los Angeles.
And it's still a ticket.
For a total of seven or eight hours, Zhao Ping'an felt a headache at the thought of sitting upright, but he had to take care of Hua Nai, who was airsick, and return to Los Angeles as soon as possible, and the only way was to take the train.
Squeezed into his seat, Zhao Ping'an found that it happened to be a window seat, but Hua Nai sat directly on it and said that she also got motion sickness.
There was no way, Zhao Ping'an had to sit neatly in the position of leaning against the aisle.
After more than an hour, when stopping at a station, Zhao Ping'an looked left and right, and a middle-aged man with a large bag sat opposite Zhao Ping'an.
As soon as this person came, Zhao Ping'an's eyebrows furrowed.
Nothing else, it stinks, like coming out of a septic tank, and it's not the smell of feces, it's more like the smell of rotten meat fermenting.
Zhao Ping'an looked this person up and down, thinking that he was either a butcher chef or a tomb robber.
But this has nothing to do with him Zhao Ping'an, Zhao Ping'an glanced at it with interest, then put on headphones and decided to close his eyes and recuperate.
After less than half an hour, Zhao Ping'an smelled the smell of fireworks coming from the aisle, and when he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that the smelly strange man in front of him didn't know when he had fainted.
Most of the people on this train were long-distance people, and more of them were sleeping in a race against time, and no one noticed the abnormality of the person in front of them.
Zhao Ping'an resigned himself to calling the conductor, and then he was ready to come forward for treatment, he wanted to call Hua Nai, but he didn't expect that Hua Nai's motion sickness was not pretended, and now he is half-dead and thinking about life by the window.
I had no choice but to do it myself.
Zhao Ping'an finished rolling up his sleeves, walked over and probed the person's snort and breathing, but it was very weak, judging from his face, it might be a heart attack or other symptoms.
This kind of disease is easy for Zhao Ping'an, but everything is close to the window, there is no way, Zhao Ping'an had to pat the sleeping Hua Nai and ask him to change his position.
Hua Nai stood up in a daze, Zhao Ping'an took out silver needles and herbs from his backpack, pricked the patient with needles, and after taking the medicine, he quickly recovered.
I thought it was a small episode on the train, but I didn't expect that at this time, Hana suddenly pointed at the patient and shouted, "It's you?"
Zhao Ping'an was sorting out his backpack, and after listening to it, he looked up and saw that the patient was still recovering, and he didn't pay attention to this sentence at all, but Hua Nai had a ghostly look on his face.
"Do you know him?" Zhao Ping'an asked suspiciously.
Hua Nai nodded with a complicated face and said, "I remember this person, I also saw him on the train when I just came out of Miao City, and we chatted a few words. ”
This is really a coincidence, Zhao Ping'an stretched his waist and wanted to change seats with Hua Nai and lie on the small table for a while, but at this time the patient also woke up.
"Is that you?" said the same thing as Hana, but the expressions of the two were completely different.
Hana was only surprised to see her acquaintance, but this person had an expression like a mouse seeing a cat, and he wanted to leave after picking up his things indiscriminately.
This strange performance made Hana a little puzzled.
"You don't remember me? We met on the train a few years ago. ”
After hearing this, the man casually coped with two sounds, and still wanted to leave, but there was still a problem with his body just now, and now it was the time of weakness, and he couldn't walk, and he didn't stand up for a long time.
"Thank you, you saved me. The patient naturally thanked Hana, who seemed to have known that Hana knew how to heal.
Zhao Ping'an didn't mean to be arrogant, and he didn't react when he heard it, he just rested on his stomach, but Hua Nai smiled and said, "It's not me, it's my friend who saved you." ”
At this time, the person's attention was focused on Zhao Ping'an, it didn't matter what he looked at, and the expression on his face became even more unnatural.
Hana frowned, and there was some suspicion in her heart.
When you see an acquaintance, how can it be this expression?
That person seemed to be very precious about his snakeskin bag, and the flight attendant refused to help put it on the luggage rack, but was willing to sit in his place aggrievedly with the stinky snakeskin bag.
At this time, Zhao Ping'an couldn't help but notice the strange person in front of him.
The man saw that he couldn't leave for the time being, and the more he wanted to leave, the more flaws were exposed, so he simply didn't leave, sat opposite the two and started an awkward chat.
"It turns out that you saved me, I'm really sorry, I'll treat you to dinner after I get off the bus, and I have nothing to repay for saving my life. The man smiled heartily, but he was the same as he had cowered at first.
Zhao Ping'an smiled and nodded, also admiring this informal man a little.
The man introduced himself as surnamed Jiang, but refused to say his name.
The two of them call him Brother Jiang according to their age, and this Brother Jiang is also eloquent, and even the well-informed Zhao Ping'an can't help but be attracted by the stories he tells in his mouth.
Soon, it was time for the car to stop again, and a salesman pushed a small cart to sell cigarettes, beer, and mineral water, and accidentally touched Brother Jiang's snakeskin bag, Brother Jiang's face instantly became nervous, and he put the snakeskin bag on his lap, and then smiled at the two of them slightly embarrassed and nervous.
Hua Nai claimed to be an acquaintance of Brother Jiang, and smiled familiarly and said, "What are you, why are you so precious." As he spoke, he wanted to get his hands on it.
But Brother Jiang slapped Hua Nai's hand away and hugged the snakeskin bag tighter.
Hua Nai shrugged her shoulders, although she knew that her movements were a little presumptuous, but she was still not happy with Brother Jiang's nervous movements.
Due to Brother Jiang's defensive actions just now, the next conversation was not very smooth.
Zhao Ping'an was thinking about resting, and after chatting a little bit, he lay down.
Hana always wanted to mention what happened on the train back then, but a talkative person like Brother Jiang avoided what happened back then.
At this time, Hua Nai suddenly seemed to think of something, walked up to Zhao Ping'an and whispered: "We forgot one thing, we forgot to get the poison scripture back!"
Zhao Ping'an was shocked, and his drowsiness was gone in an instant, and he was about to book a ticket with his mobile phone to go back to Miaojiang to get the Poison Sutra, but at this time, Brother Jiang came to the two of them, licked his face and said, "What did you just say about the Poison Sutra?" ”
This matter is not enough for outsiders, Zhao Ping'an vaguely said that it is nothing is just a game equipment, but Brother Jiang obviously didn't believe it, and wanted to ask.
Zhao Ping'an didn't get tired of it, and went to sleep directly with his head covered, and Hua Nai had to endure motion sickness and chat with Brother Jiang all the time.
After two hours, the train arrived at the station, Zhao Ping'an and Hua Nai got off the train and prepared to take the train back again, but after getting on the train, they found that the opposite side happened to be the big brother Jiang.
"Brother Jiang, you are-" Zhao Ping'an saw Brother Jiang opposite, and his heart instantly became vigilant.
There are not many people who know the Poison Sutra, but as long as they know, there is no one who does not covet it in their hearts, could it be that this Brother Jiang is also one of the people who want to get the Poison Sutra?
At this time, Brother Jiang waved his hand and took the initiative to say, "I have no interest in your poisonous scripture, but I just want to go back to Miaojiang for something." ”
At this time, Zhao Ping'an was very sensitive to hear that Brother Jiang actually said that he was going back to Miaojiang, except for the locals, if he wanted to go to a place, he would definitely say that he was going, could it be that this Brother Jiang was also from Miaojiang?
After a period of getting along, there was also a lot of tacit understanding between Zhao Ping'an and Hua Nai, knowing that Zhao Ping'an was suspicious of Brother Jiang, Hua Nai took the initiative to mention Miao Jiang's matter to get close to Brother Jiang.
Sure enough, when it came to Miao Jiang, Brother Jiang's words began to chatter again, and both of them were amazed.
At this time, Zhao Ping'an found that Brother Jiang's precious snakeskin bag was not brought by Brother Jiang this time.
Maybe it's in Los Angeles, Zhao Ping'an doesn't care much about it, but he always feels a little strange in his heart.
Along the way, Brother Jiang did not get sick, but kept saying that after arriving in Miaojiang, he would have a good banquet for Zhao Ping'an, a life-saving benefactor, and Hua Nai, a friend.
The two must have said yes.
After coming to the boundary of Miaojiang again, the two did not go to Miaosha Village immediately.
Hua Nai said that the Poison Sutra was placed in a very safe place, and now that it was getting late, Brother Miao would definitely not take them to Miaosha Village.
Just when the two wanted to find a place to stay for one night, Brother Jiang came to the two again, saying that he was very familiar with Miao Jiang and wanted to enter the friendship of the landlord, and thanked the two by the way.
It seems that this Brother Jiang is going to stick to the two of them no matter what, the two of them secretly glanced at each other, and their faces were silent, so that Brother Jiang took the two of them around Miao City.
I don't know if I am really familiar with Miao Cheng, or if I have done my homework in advance, Brother Jiang is really like that, and the place where I invite them to eat is also presentable.
After Zhao Ping'an and Hua Nai finished eating, they said that they were going back to the hotel to stay, and when they heard where the two lived, Brother Jiang turned his head and said, "This is really a coincidence, where do I live too, let's go together?"
Is it a coincidence, or is it deliberate, Zhao Ping'an lowered his head and smiled without speaking, but he was still short, but he grabbed Brother Jiang's shoulders, and the two of them walked out.
Zhao Ping'an followed not far behind, and the three of them walked slowly towards the hotel.
Miaocheng tourism industry is very developed, there are many hotels, the hotel where three people live is a relatively low position in the hotel group, and you have to go through an inaccessible path to walk over.
Zhao Ping'an walked slowly, Brother Jiang broke free from Hua Nai's confinement and walked to Zhao Ping'an's side.
