After the three of them finished eating the one pound of noodles that had just been opened, Wang Yan and Jin Ming were thinking about ordering noodle soup, and Guo Dayu couldn't stand it anymore. He took out a small bag of rice from the small cabinet, about a catty, shook it in his hand and said:

"You are southerners, do you know how to cook rice? We don't eat rice, we just order rice a month, we eat porridge at night, you don't have enough to eat, so you can cook and eat it yourself." ”

Outside the hut, a long freight train passed by, Xiao Yao took the harmonica handed to him by Guo Dayu, took out the handkerchief given to him by Xiao Ai, wiped it casually, and put it to his mouth to play.

The first song he played was "Mother's Kiss", in addition to Guo Dayu, even Xiao Yao was played by himself The melodious melody was deeply affected by homesickness, and he even saw Jin Ming turn around and wipe his tears.

"Don't leave tonight, stay in the back room. We would come to check on the post at night, and when we encountered it, we would tell the truth about the situation. If the head could forgive you and not drive you away, I would be fine. Otherwise, I don't have a problem, so I'll follow you. ”

After listening to Xiao Yao's performance, Guo Dayu was very surprised to praise a few words, and asked how the beat was played, but then he was worried about them and himself.

After Xiao Yao demonstrated to him how to hold the harmonica in one mouth and play eight holes in one mouth, blocking the beat method of seven blows and one, he asked a little worriedly:

"Brother Guo, do we have an impact on you?"

"Well, I've been working here for a few years, and you're outsiders entering this hut for the first time. Don't look at our small house, but the responsibility is heavy, and the slightest mistake will cause very serious consequences. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden for outsiders to stay here, and it is necessary to ensure a safe working environment. ”

The trigger room determines the direction of the train, and if you take a wrong crossing, it will even cause two trains to collide head-on. Their leaders will check every night from time to time, and the working hours of the wrench workers must not be disturbed by anything.

Leaving people overnight in the wrench room without authorization like Guo Dayu is a serious violation of discipline, and he will be severely punished if his superiors know about it.

After listening to Guo Dayu's hidden worries, Xiao Yao decided to leave after eating and leave here. He was willing to take the two of them to death rather than harm the benefactor who had given them all the food he had eaten.

Xiao Yao knew very well in his heart that when Guo Dayu's leader drove them away, it was an indication that he would be punished.

It didn't take long for the familiar and unfamiliar smell of rice to spread in the hut, and the three people who had just finished eating the noodles couldn't help but swallow their saliva, hoping that the rice would be cooked quickly.

The more late it was at night, the busier the phone became, almost every few minutes, the phone would ring, and every time Guo Dayu listened to the instructions, he would repeat a few up and down a few times, and then he would go out and pull the turnout, and soon after, a train would rumble by.

I haven't eaten rice for a long time, even if this rice is a little dry by Wang Yan, and there is no food, but the three of them eat it very deliciously. This rice has the taste of home.

Just as the three of them were eating fragrant rice, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, Xiao Yao and the three stopped eating and looked outside, Guo Dayu also showed a nervous expression on his face.

"Huh, Guo Dayu, what's going on with them?"

"Head, the three of them are out-of-town students, and it's dangerous to get lost in the fog, and I learned that they hadn't eaten for two days, so I ....... ”

The room was too small, and the four of them were already very crowded in the house, Guo Dayu's leader stood outside the door, and when he saw Xiao Yao and the three of them, his brows were furrowed, and his face was very unpleasant. Guo Dayu hurriedly stood outside the door to explain, but before Guo Dayu finished speaking, he immediately interrupted.

"Don't you know the importance of your job, and if something happens, you and I will both go to jail and even kill a lot of people, don't you understand?"

Although the operation of the train is in the hands of the driver, the choice of the track and direction is not in it, but in the hands of the wrench worker who dispatches and is on duty in the wrench room all year round. To be precise, the final decision is in the hands of the wrenchman.

"Leader, don't blame Brother Guo, he didn't let us get close to the house, the three of us were very hungry and forcibly broke in, we will leave after eating, and we won't cause you trouble. ”

Seeing that Guo Dayu was reprimanded by the leader so much that he didn't dare to say anything, Xiao Yao stood up to clear him. When he spoke, he especially accentuated the tone of "three people" and "breaking in", just to let the leader understand, how could Guo Dayu stop the three of them alone?

"Walk? Where can you go in such a big fog? The road I walk every day has just slipped a heel, and you still want to go?"

At this time, Xiao Yao noticed that the leader in front of him was about thirty years old, he was tall, and his strong figure was not bloated at all.

Beneath the large cap with the railroad badge is a resolute and square face, a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, revealing a formidable majesty, and a dark blue overalls with epaulettes stained with mud and rust.

"Leader, as long as you don't punish Brother Guo, you can do whatever you want us to do. ”

The people who came didn't let them go, Xiao Yao couldn't figure out what the leader wanted to do. But in order to help Guo Dayu wash away, Xiao Yao was willing to let it go.

"Hahaha, you are not my subordinate, what leader does not lead, my name is Wang Lianfang, if you are willing, just call me Brother Wang. If you haven't had enough to eat, I'll have it. Although the conditions are difficult, there is no good wine and good food to entertain the small guests who come from afar, but it must be managed. ”

"The three of them have already eaten a pack of noodles, and the catty of rice sent to me on it, I haven't boiled the porridge, they have eaten it. ”

Hearing the leader say this, Guo Dayu's nervous mood finally relaxed, and he reported to the leader with a complaining tone. is somewhat expected to be compensated by the leader of the wing, after all, he only has that much salary a month, and he is unwilling to let go of the opportunity to get back the compensation.

"Brother Wang, we're full, won't you drive us away?"

"Who said I was going to get rid of you? I'm not hard-hearted, so late at night, I drove you away, if something happens to you, I won't be able to live well for the rest of my life. You can stay here, but I have one request, don't talk to the heavy rain, let him work in peace. ”

After Wang Lianfang instructed them, he explained a few words to Guo Dayu, and then left in the thick fog in the middle of the night.

The small single bed can't sleep Xiao Yao and the three of them at all. They strictly adhered to Wang Lianfang's teachings, and they didn't dare to chat with Guo Dayu after eating.

The three of them sat on the bed together, Xiao Yao didn't dare to play the harmonica in his hand, so he sat there and watched Guo Dayu answer the phone and put the phone away, and then go out to complete the password he repeated.

"Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao, wake up, it's time to go. ”

The three people who were leaning on the small bed were woken up by Guo Dayu at the same time, they opened their confused eyes and looked at Brother Guo in front of them.

"Young man, I'm here to take care of Heavy Rain, ask him to leave work early, take you to a nearby station, and send you to Beijing. ”

Wang Lianfang stepped into the inner room from the outside, with a smile on his tired face.

"This ...... , thank you, Brother Wang. ”

As long as you can get home safely, we will be sure. Hurry up and wash, the car will come in a while, go and wash, let the heavy rain take you to Beijing for breakfast. ”

Xiao Yao and the three of them didn't dare to slack off, buried their gratitude deep in their hearts, they hurriedly washed their faces, a single locomotive, stopped on the track of the fork, Guo Dayu beckoned the three of them to kick on the front of the car, and the locomotive set off.

Looking at Wang Lianfang, who was gradually getting smaller in his line of sight, the three of them put down their waving arms.

"You guys are so lucky, I didn't expect that the leader would come early in the morning and let me take you to Beijing, and let me help you connect with the free train back to your hometown. I've always been afraid of him, but now I don't think he's so scary, but I think he's easy to get close to. ”

"Brother Guo, if you send us back and forth, delaying your rest won't affect your duty at night, right?"

"It's okay, the leader has given me a holiday, I don't have to be on duty tonight. ”

Without saying a few words, the locomotive arrived at a small station, and Xiao Yao saw the station name "Loess Shop". After they waited for a while, a passenger car entered the station, Guo Dayu was a worker on the railway, and I don't know what he said to the conductor, anyway, let all three of them get on the train for free.

About half an hour later, Guo Dayu walked out of Beijing Station with three people. He first took Xiao Yao and them to a breakfast shop, ate soy milk, fried dough sticks and coke rings, and then took them to the gate of the Ministry of Railways.

"You wait for me outside the gate, and I'll go inside and find someone to see if I can get a free ride certificate. ”

But when Guo Dayu wanted to enter the gate, he was stopped by the guard on duty. They asked Guo Dayu to show his pass, but Guo Dayu was just a small wrenchman, so where would he get a pass for the gate of the Ministry of Railways? He begged for help for a long time to no avail, so he had to come back.

"Xiao Yao, I don't have a rut, we ordinary people, we can't enter this big yamen, you go to the side of the road and wait for me. ”

Not long after, Guo Dayu ran back with a bag in his hand, and his head was covered with beads of sweat.

"Three younger brothers, I don't have much money, and I only have enough money in my pocket to buy these foods. No problem, I can only send you here, as long as you are in Beijing, nothing will go wrong. ”

Looking at Guo Dayu, whose face was full of exhaustion and sweat, Xiao Yao was very upset. He tossed non-stop for a night, this would be for them, and he couldn't go back to rest, how could Xiao Yao bear it?

"Brother Guo, go back and rest quickly, we will be fine here, you can go back with confidence." Thank you! Brother Guo. Please take me again when you go back, thank you, Brother Wang. ”

Guo Dayu knew that he couldn't help them if he stayed, and his body was exhausted to the extreme, so he had to say goodbye to the three of them one by one, and repeatedly told them not to do anything wrong, Xiao Yao and the three of them nodded solemnly and agreed.

"One thing you may not know, platform tickets are also allowed to enter the station, but don't talk about it. ”

Before leaving, Guo Dayu left a profound sentence and turned around to merge into the flow of people at the station. Xiao Yao watched him go away, and said silently in his heart: Thank you, Brother Guo, thank you, Brother Wang, thank you, Beijingers.
