Chapter Eighty-Three: I'll Take You Home
I am a person who likes to take the train very much, I like the hustle and bustle in the train car, and the faces of homecoming, that kind of atmosphere, which makes people feel very lively, I also like to look out the window, the inner tranquility and the longing for the unknown journey, but this journey to Inner Mongolia is one of the few times I have taken the train and felt sinned.
Leng Xin and I first got on the train at Anyang South Railway Station, the two of us bought the cheapest ticket, and took the green train that was about to be eliminated in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
When we arrived in Chifeng City, the sky had already revealed a touch of fish belly white, the time was already about to six o'clock in the morning, continuous running, let me feel a burst of nausea, I held on to the wall of the exit of the station, retching for a long time, before standing up straight again.
"Are you okay, are you?, otherwise, let's find a place to rest for a while!" Leng Xin looked at my thin little body and said a little worriedly, but it could be seen from his face that at this moment, he was even more anxious to see Lei Lei than me.
"Forget it, I'm fine!" I smiled reluctantly and shook my head: "You go buy a ticket, see what time there is a bus to Hohhot!" As I spoke, I stretched out my hand and pointed to the steps at the door of the ticket hall: "I'll sit at the door for a while, breathe!"
"Okay, then I'll buy a ticket, you wait for me for a while!" Leng Xin finished speaking, and ran all the way to the ticket hall, I sat on the steps in front of the ticket hall alone, breathing in the fresh air of the morning, this is my first time in the city of Chifeng, but I have no time to look around, at this moment I have only one thought in my heart, see Lei Lei as soon as possible, thinking about it, I leaned on the iron railing next to me, and fell asleep in just a few seconds.
"Xiaofei, wake up!" I was woken up by Leng Xin, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Leng Xin holding a bag of buns in her hand and two cups of soy milk, looking at me, Leng Xin frowned slightly: "Why are you still asleep here?"
"It's okay, I just haven't had much rest in the past two days!" I smiled and stood up and moved my body: "How long have I been asleep?"
"It's only more than ten minutes!" Leng Xin said, handing me the soy milk and buns in his hand: "Eat some, warm up!"
'Wow!'
I took the soy milk, plugged in the straw and took a sip, and I instantly sobered up a lot, but looking at the greasy buns, I really didn't have any appetite: "Have you bought the ticket?"
"Hmm!" Leng Xin nodded and handed me the two tickets: "There are still two hours to go, let's go to the waiting room and wait for a while!"
I took Leng Xin's ticket and took a look, a hard seat, a soft sleeper, and a look at the price, the hard seat is more than 100, and the sleeper is nearly 400 yuan, I was stunned: "Did you buy the wrong ticket? What are you buying a sleeper for?!"
"I asked the conductor, it takes more than 20 hours to get from Chifeng to Hoh, and if you stay up like this, before you see Lei Lei, you will have to be dragged down, listen to me, you can take a break!" Leng Xin explained to me.
"No!" I directly refused: "We don't have much money, let's save as much as we can, and when I see Lei Lei, if the money is not enough, it will be really troublesome!"
Leng Xin didn't wait for me to finish, pulled me and walked to the waiting room: "Oh, you just listen to me! Most of the money is from you, you can't let the hero shed blood and tears, besides, Lei Lei fell to this point, he is also to blame, it's good to go home, you still plan to take him all the way to eat Haisai? He is running away, not traveling!"
"But ......" I don't really agree with Leng Xin's words, if Lei Lei hadn't made up for the losses I caused to Hu Wei in Shuiquan, he wouldn't have chosen a person to go to Inner Mongolia with them to collect debts.
"The tickets have been bought, and now I will return them, and I will have to pay a lot of fees, and when the time comes, the two of us will take turns to sleep in the sleeper, and I am also a little tired!" Leng Xin said without allowing me to refuse, and sat on the bench in the waiting room exhausted.
"Leng Xin......" I sat on the side and called him.
"Huh?" Leng Xin looked at me curiously.
"You said Lei Lei, nothing really happened this time, right?" I asked worriedly.
"Alas......" Leng Xin let out a long sigh, and then grabbed his hair irritably: "I told him a long time ago, don't go to the society, but he just didn't listen, in this society, there are more people who are smarter and more courageous than us, so many people with means, how many people can get out of the strange circle of prison and grave in the end?" But Lei Lei didn't believe it, he always felt that he could hold up his own piece of the sky in that pile of people, maybe, this is his fate......
Leng Xin's words surprised me very much, I really didn't expect that these words could come out of the mouth of a person who did not graduate from elementary school, and after being silent for a long time, I spoke again: "Then, do you believe in fate?"
“……”
Leng Xin was also stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't answer my question, but stood up and patted me on the shoulder, and stretched out his hand to the bathroom: "You wait a while, I'll go smoke a cigarette!"
Soon it was time to check in the tickets, and Leng Xin and I lined up at the ticket gates, marching slowly.
'Woo!!~~~~!'
With a whistle, the train gradually picked up speed and headed in the direction of Hohhot.
I didn't rest all night last night, and I drank a lot of wine with the Navy and Wang Yu the night before, and my physical strength was already overdrawn at the moment, and when I got to the train, I didn't say goodbye to Leng Xin, I went to the sleeper car alone, and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already more than twelve o'clock at noon, I took out my mobile phone and took a look, there were a few missed calls from Liu Xiaowan and Wang Yu, I glanced at the text messages they sent again, Liu Xiaowan mostly asked me if I arrived home safely, Wang Yu's text messages were all scolding me and saying goodbye, the last one only had a few numbers: the third, the navy dropped out, I also want to leave, the day after tomorrow, everyone cherishes it!
I hesitated for a long time with my mobile phone, but I still didn't dare to call Wang Yu back, but after I replied to Liu Xiaowan with a text message to report safety, I put on my shoes and walked to the hard-seat car.
"Ahem!"
Leng Xin's tears were choked by the coffee powder, and with a cough, the air sprayed was full of coffee.
"Damn, what kind of kung fu are you practicing?" I looked at Leng Xin and asked very incomprehensibly.
"Practice a fart kung fu!" Leng Xin wiped her tears, yawned, and stretched out her hand to point to a person who was a few seats away from her: "I saw that person chewing a bag of coffee just now, probably to refresh himself!"
"Can you still chew coffee?" I looked at the man with some curiosity.
didn't wait for the two of us to finish speaking, an eldest sister sitting opposite Leng Xin couldn't help it: "Young man, that person is not chewing coffee, it's Banlan root granules, a ...... for curing colds."
"Haha!" the people in the surrounding seats were amused.
“…… !" Leng Xin was stunned for a long time before she spoke: "I'm still wondering, why didn't that person choke!"
I was immediately embarrassed, looked at Leng Xin, whose eyeballs were full of red bloodshots, took out my ticket and handed it to him: "Let's change the ticket, you go sleep for a while!"
"Well, I've really been stunned for a while, I feel like my brain is dizzy now, as if I'm about to fly into an immortal!" Leng Xin took my ticket, walked towards the sleeper car with a few steps, and after a few steps, he stretched out his hand and pointed under my seat: "There are bought instant noodles and ham sausages underneath, you can eat a little if you are hungry!"
After Leng Xin left, I sat on the seat, looking at the barren mountains outside the window, stunned, in the afternoon, I went to make a box of instant noodles, ate a few bites, and then lay on the small table in front of me, and fell asleep again, during which Lei Lei called Leng Xin again, still didn't say a few words, and hung up again.
We arrived at four o'clock in the morning the next day, and then bought a ticket at ten o'clock in the morning, at half past seven in the evening, we finally arrived at Erenhot, the moment I got off the train, I felt extremely relaxed, Erlian is a border city, everything in the urban area, is full of grassland style and exoticism.
"Whew!~"
Leng Xin stood at the exit of the station and let out a long breath: "Fuck! It's finally here, my son lied, and if I took the car for one more day, I would be tossed and scattered!"
"Did Lei Lei tell him where he was?" I asked as I moved my body.
"Didn't say it!" Leng Xin shook his head: "He doesn't have a penny on him, he has no fixed place to live, so he can only wait for him to find us, let's go, let's find a small hotel first and wait for his call!"
"Forget it, the hotel is too expensive, find an Internet café or something!"
"Okay!
Soon, the two of us found a small Internet café nearby, found a double box, but only turned on one machine, I went to the bathroom to wash my face, returned to the box and began to sleep on the table.
At about three o'clock in the evening, I got up from the table with a sore back, and Leng Xin was watching a movie there.
"Lei Lei's side, is there any movement?" I stretched and asked Leng Xin with a yawn.
"No, it stands to reason that he knows that we will arrive at eight o'clock, and there should be news......" Leng Xin replied a little anxiously.
'Ring, ring, ring!'
As the two of us were talking, a local number called Leng Xin's mobile phone, the two of us looked at each other, he reached out and picked up the phone, after a few words, nodded again and again, and then pulled me out.
"Lei Lei's call?" I asked happily.
"Hmm!" Leng Xin nodded, smiling happily: "He's in a location called GJ Community!"
After hearing Lei Lei's news, I was overjoyed, ran downstairs with Leng Xin, took a taxi and rushed to the community.
Fifteen minutes later, Leng Xin and I rushed to the vicinity of the GJ community, walked over, and in the distance, we saw a sneaky figure, looking around.
"Lei Lei!" I called tentatively.
'Brush!'
The figure turned around instantly, and after Lei Lei saw us, the expression on his face relaxed a lot: "You guys are here!"
"Well, let's take you home!" The moment I saw Lei Lei, my eyes turned red.
