Chapter 245: Kunming
"Yuemin, this train is not in the right direction, why is it going back?" Li Kuiyong looked outside the door for a long time, and suddenly wondered.
"How do you know you're going back?" Zhong Yuemin also made it to the door of the carriage.
Li Kuiyong said: "We used to go west all the time, but now the train has been running towards the sun, that is, to the east." ”
Zhong Yuemin looked at the sun in the sky, and sure enough.
"Is the train turning?" said He Dayong suddenly.
"No, I've been watching it for two hours, and I'll be back to Wuhan if I turn around again!" Li Kuiyong said firmly.
"Forget it, leave him alone, just go back and drive back, anyway, we don't have to run errands!" Zhong Yuemin lay back and took the cardboard used to make the bed.
"That being said, it's really difficult!" Li Kuiyong sighed and leaned against the wooden box.
"We can't stand a few big men, I really don't know how my sister got to Xishuangbanna back then. He Dayong suddenly sighed.
A few people suddenly fell silent, and only the sound of the train "clanging" was heard.
······
I don't know how long it took, but the train gradually slowed down, as if it had entered the station.
Li Kuiyong quickly closed the carriage door, afraid that he would be discovered when he entered the dual-purpose station.
"Hey?" Li Kuiyong stared out at the crack in the door with one eye and exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Yuemin asked.
"We're really back! This is Changsha Station!" Li Kuiyong said as he looked outside.
"Let me see!" He Dayong also stood up and leaned on the crack in the door, "It's really Changsha! There are a lot of people outside!"
"You make a louder noise, bring everyone in!" Li Kuiyong said in disgust.
"How can you hear it from such a distance?" He Dayong disagreed.
"There must be a mechanic looking at the chassis in a moment, so you'd better be quiet. Zhong Yuemin reminded, "Close the door tightly, don't look at it." ”
"Oh. He Dayong pulled the door a little disappointed.
······
A few people waited quietly in the dark, a little unaccustomed to the first few days, but now they have long since gotten used to it.
After an hour, the train started again, but this time in a different direction.
"It seems that it is really a U-turn in Changsha. Li Kuiyong guessed: "Maybe I went to Sichuan to unload the goods before, but now I start from Changsha, and I should enter Guizhou later." ”
"Then how far is Yunnan?" He Dayong said with concern.
"After Guizhou, it will be Yunnan, and it will be there in a few days. Li Kuiyong said.
"How long is it going to take?" He Dayong wailed, "Why didn't the fat man get us a bus ticket!" We sat in our seats, blew a small breeze, and arrived in Yunnan comfortably. ”
"You can't blame you for being fat, who was so impatient that he was about to fly to Yunnan?" Zhong Yuemin asked rhetorically.
"I was in a hurry, I couldn't wait to go to Yunnan immediately and split that bastard who bullied my sister, where did I think we would be so tormented all the way!" He Dayong said depressedly.
"Okay, we'll be there in a few days!" Zhong Yuemin said: "We've survived so many years, it's not a few days." ”
"It doesn't matter if anything else, it's just that this train is so boring that I can't even sleep and dream!" Li Kuiyong suddenly proposed: "If you don't Yuemin, you can tell us a story!"
"Huh, I can't hear you!" Zhong Yuemin shouted with his ears caged and made a trumpet shape.
"I said you tell us a story!" Li Kuiyong shouted at Zhong Yuemin, but he choked on himself and coughed for a long time, and never mentioned telling the story again.
······
"Kunming has arrived! Kunming has arrived! ······"
"Dayong, Kuiyong, wake up, Kunming has arrived!" Zhong Yuemin woke up and immediately woke up the two.
"Huh?" Li Kuiyong instantly asked, and immediately stood up, "Kunming has arrived?"
"The train has slowed down and stopped, it should have entered the station!" Zhong Yuemin listened carefully to the movement of the train.
He Dayong was still a little confused, "I'm at the station, I'm going to go down to the toilet······ It's been a long way. ”
"Now you can go to the toilet for as long as you want!" Zhong Yuemin smiled, "Let's go to Kunming!"
"It's time to Kunming!" He Dayong reacted at this time, was stunned for a while, and immediately ran to open the door.
Li Kuiyong stopped him, "Are you sleeping?"
"Yes, yes, you can't open the door yet!" He Dayong came to his senses, and now he didn't know the situation outside, so he opened the door rashly and couldn't decide what would go wrong.
"Hurry up and put on your clothes, put away your things, and prepare to withdraw!" Zhong Yuemin hurriedly instructed.
"Oops!" He Dayong immediately looked everywhere for his pants, which he wore when he slept.
"Alas?" Li Kuiyong shouted, "Where are you going to turn over?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's pitch black, I didn't see it clearly!" He Dayong hurriedly went to look for other places, "Where are my pants?"
"You rummaged in the corner, I remember you kicked your pants in the corner while you were sleeping. Zhong Yuemin reminded.
He Dayong fumbled around the corner, and found a sweatshirt for a while, and a sock for the next, all of which were the results of what they had thrown everywhere these days.
finally put on his pants, and He Dayong couldn't find his shoes again.
Zhong Yuemin had already dressed and opened the schoolbag he was carrying, "Come, divide a little of this money for everyone." ”
"Yuemin, are we going to go separately?" He Dayong wondered.
"No, why are you going separately?"
"Then why do you divide the money?" He Dayong asked.
"Why are you always confused, we're about to get off the train, I don't know what the situation is, Yuemin doesn't put his eggs in one basket!" Li Kuiyong said.
He Dayong was a little depressed, and when he left Beijing, he seemed to know nothing.
"Dayong hasn't been out of the house before, and it's normal that some things are not clear. Zhong Yuemin handed He Dayong a stack of money, "The money is scattered, put a little bit in the jacket pockets, pants, shoes and socks, don't worry about it." ”
"I know, I know, I know this, spread the risk. He Dayong took the money and, according to what Zhong Yuemin said, hid money everywhere on his body.
Zhong Yuemin handed Li Kuiyong a stack of money, "Kuiyong, you take these." ”
Li Kuiyong took the money, unbuttoned his pants, and pushed them into his crotch.
"Kui Yong, what are you doing here?" He Dayong was stunned and said strangely.
"I have been in charge of money since I was a child, and I kept all the money in my family, when I was young, I was afraid of losing the money, so I sewed a small pocket on the top of my pants to put money, and I never lost it!" Li Kuiyong replied with a smile.
"Kui Yong, you are so amazing!" Zhong Yuemin gave a thumbs up, full of admiration.
He Dayong covered his nose, "It's just that the smell is bigger!"
"Fuck you, the pockets are on the side of your pants, what do you want?" Li Kuiyong pushed He Dayong.
······
The door of the carriage was opened, and the carriage was filled with light.
"Taozi?" Zhong Yuemin held his hand to block the dazzling light and looked towards the door.
"Brother Yuemin!
Zhong Yuemin listened to the wrong voice, squinted his eyes and looked carefully, "Little hand, why are you here?"
He Dayong also exclaimed: "Little hands!?"
Li Kuiyong has never seen a little hand, but from the surprised expressions of Zhong Yuemin and He Dayong, it can be seen that the appearance of this person is more than a surprise.
At this time, the hair on the little hands was like a bird's nest, and the face was dirty, and I don't know how long it had not been washed.
"Brother Yuemin, I'll talk about the rest later, I just saw it, there is no one on the platform, let's leave now!"
Zhong Yuemin thought about it, so he got off the train with Li Kuiyong and He Dayong, and took advantage of the chaos on the platform to get out of the station.
······
"Yuemin, do we have to say something to Taozi? He Dayong remembered halfway.
"I've already left him a note, saying that I'll rest him when I go back to Beijing. Little Hand answered.
"Look at what you can!" Zhong Yuemin looked at his little hand and said, "Now that you're out of the station, shouldn't you tell me what the situation is?"
"What's the situation?" The three of them surrounded him, pretending to be innocent.
"Isn't it stupid?" Zhong Yuemin said coldly: "If you don't recruit you truthfully, we will leave you in Kunming." ”
"I'm not a child, can I lose it?" muttered to the little hand.
He Dayong hurriedly persuaded: "Little hand, my hand master, just hurry up and talk about it, don't make you Brother Yuemin angry!"
"Just say it. The little hand pouted, "When I was in Beijing, I kept staring at the door of Brother Yuemin's house, and then I followed you all the way to the train, but I hid in other carriages." ”
"Then how did you come here for so many years? What do you eat and drink?" He Dayong said in surprise, the three of them had Taozi to send food and drink, and they couldn't stay up, and they really couldn't imagine how Xiaoshou survived alone in the carriage.
"I endured it all the way, and when I stopped at the station, I went to steal food and drink. Little Hand replied, as if telling someone else's story.
"Then what if I don't stop at the station for a day?" Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but ask, the train was running slowly, often stopping for more than ten hours to add water and coal.
Xiaoshou said: "Then I'll sleep, and I won't be hungry when I fall asleep!"
Zhong Yuemin looked at the face of the little hand that had lost a whole circle, and he didn't know whether to scold or praise, and finally there was only one sentence, "Are you hungry now?"
"Hungry!" nodded vigorously, "There are so many goods in the car, and there is nothing to eat at all!
"Let's go, let's go to the next restaurant!" Zhong Yuemin waved his hand and led a group of hungry wolves to the food on the street of Kunming.
······
When Zhong Yuemin and the others entered the restaurant, they were stunned by the people eating inside and the waiters, when did all the beggers come to the provincial capital?
"Waiter, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and order food for us!" He Dayong sat down and found that no one was entertaining them, so he immediately shouted.
"No, you ······" The waiter came up, hesitating.
Li Kuiyong took out a ten-yuan one, "We have money, hurry up and serve the food!"
The waiter still didn't move, Li Kuiyong was a little anxious, "If you have money, you won't be allowed to eat?"
"Brother Kui Yong, he's waiting for this!" The little hand took out a few food stamps, and the waiter was immediately relieved when he saw it.
"No, why didn't you say it earlier if you wanted food stamps?" Li Kuiyong felt that he couldn't hold his face and questioned the waiter.
"Comrade, I'm really sorry, our store is all finished eating, and it is not in accordance with the rules to ask for money as soon as it comes up. "The waiter was a little embarrassed.
Li Kuiyong said angrily: "Then you are here, aren't you afraid that we will have no money?"
The waiter hurriedly explained: "I'm afraid that you won't have the money to pay the bill after eating, and I will have to pay for it when the time comes, and I still have four or five younger brothers and sisters at home who are living on my salary!"
The waiter said with a crying voice, just poking at Li Kuiyong's soft heart, "Okay, okay, what is the big man crying, hurry up and serve us food!"
"Hey!" the waiter replied, just took two steps out, and then turned back, "You haven't said what to eat?"
"Pick up the best in your store, you can do as much as you want, and the four of us can eat enough!" Li Kuiyong said briskly.
Xiaoshou and Dayong laughed with him, I haven't been so happy for a long time!
The waiter was a little embarrassed and stood still.
Li Kuiyong said strangely: "Why don't you go yet?"
"Comrade, would you like to see the menu on the wall?" said the waiter, pointing to the red paper on the wall.
"What's so nice about the menu?" Li Kuiyong and the others looked up, and wow, the wall was written, "For the sake of revolution and strict frugality, our store only supplies rice noodles, artichoke, and steamed buns!"
Seeing that the faces of a few people were a little pale, I wanted to eat a big meal, but I didn't expect to enter such a thrifty shop.
Zhong Yuemin looked at the others, "Why don't we go to other hotels?"
The waiter interjected: "Now all the restaurants on the street are the same, only these three things are served!"
Several people were directly deflated, and Li Kuiyong said weakly: "Is there any meat dishes?"
"There is a little lard in the rice noodles across the bridge. The waiter thought for a moment.
"Let's have eight bowls of rice noodles and eight steamed buns first, and if you have pickles, you can also give some of them!" Zhong Yuemin was so hungry that he hurriedly interrupted their conversation.
"Okay, comrade, wait a minute, I'll be here soon!" The waiter immediately went to the back kitchen to place an order.
He Dayong sighed and said: "I thought I could eat steam pot chicken, stir-fried lamb liver, and thatched grilled fish, but I could only eat rice noodles!"
"It's good to have a hot mouth!" said Xiao Te, "It's better than eating cold steamed buns in the car!"
"Xiaoshou is right, the rice noodles across the bridge are also good, we haven't eaten them before, just taste the taste, right?" Zhong Yuemin said.
"I want to eat meat!" He Dayong was still wailing, "I don't want to eat rice noodles!"
No one else was willing to deal with him.
"The rice noodles are coming!" the waiter held the plate and put the steaming hot on the table, "Comrade, beware of the heat!"
The little hand took the lead in picking up the rice noodles, blowing while sipping the rice noodles into his mouth.
Zhong Yuemin and Li Kuiyong were a little reserved, but they couldn't hold back the fragrance of rice noodles, and they ate hula hula.
He Dayong originally wanted to hold on for a while, but the fragrance of rice noodles, the fat of lard, and the smell of chili peppers kept pouring into his nose.
"Gurgling ······" The stomach also began to scream, and He Dayong couldn't take care of it anymore, so he picked up the bowl and ate it, but he didn't care about the heat.
The other three couldn't help but laugh when they saw him like this.
