Chapter 11 The Railway Station

But the stubborn driver finally opened the door.

For this reason, Li Ming also had to thank the driver.

After getting out of the car, Li Ming walked quickly to the sidewalk, although there were vehicles all around, but because of the traffic jam, so many vehicles were blocked on the road, and they didn't move much, so Li Ming didn't have to worry about these vehicles on the road.

When he got to the sidewalk, Li Ming looked for the direction and walked in the direction of the train station in the city.

After walking for a while, Li Ming saw all the way that the lane was full of vehicles.

This made Li Ming sigh with emotion: "I see that this car is congested, and it can't be passed without an hour, if you are still waiting in the car,......"

Thinking of this, Li Ming couldn't help but shake his head.

At this time, he couldn't help but be glad that he got off the train very decisively, if he was really still waiting on the train, not to mention anything else, he would have been a lot of time at night just when he arrived at the train station.

Even if you miss the trains that run through your hometown during this time, you will miss even more time.

In your province, most of the counties do not have railway stations, and although Li Ming's hometown is not developed and the development is not very fast, there are railway stations, and there are many trains passing by every day.

It has to be said that the coal in Li Ming's hometown has played a considerable role.

However, as far as Li Ming knows, after decades of mining, the coal mines in the county are now quite scarce.

At present, most of the coal on their side is mined from some towns and villages with coal mines or relatively remote places.

However, the former county seat was also glorious because of coal, at least, the transportation there is more convenient, no matter where you want to go to the county, you can find a vehicle to go there.

The reason why Li Ming chose to take the train is very simple, that is, because taking the train is the fastest way he can think of to return to the county now.

Otherwise, unless Li Ming finds a car to drive back by himself, there is no faster way than this.

Li Ming really wanted to go to the car rental company in the city to rent a car and drive back, but he didn't have a driver's license, so it was impossible to rent a car.

Carrying a backpack, Li Ming walked while frequently looking at the time on his mobile phone.

In the end, perhaps because he felt that it was too slow to go on like this, Li Ming ran directly with his legs.

At this moment, Li Ming turned into a young man chasing the wind and ran in the direction of the train station.

Li Ming seems to ignore the martial arts of pedestrians, running by himself, although he did not come up with his fastest speed, but the speed is also quite not slow, to be clear, on this sidewalk, there are still people coming and going, this is not a track specially used for running exercise, if Li Ming really let go of the speed, not to mention how long he can support, just if there is a sudden person in front of him, he can't stop the car if he lets go of the speed.

Now the speed is just right, neither slow nor controllable, if something happens, he also has time to adjust.

In this way, after running for about ten minutes, Li Ming finally saw that there was no traffic jam on the lane like he had run for the distance in front.

After another few minutes, Li Ming finally ran to a place where there was no traffic jam.

At this time, Li Ming had only one thought in his heart, that is: "I can finally take the car!"

This time, Li Ming was not as unlucky as before.

He quickly pulled over a taxi.

As soon as he got on the train, Li Ming went straight to the point without the slightest nonsense: "To the train station!"

Seeing Li Ming's somewhat panting appearance, the driver didn't ask anything, just turned around and headed directly to the location of the train station.

Li Ming didn't mean to speak, just thinking that at this time, there was still some train running to his hometown county.

In his memory, in the next few hours, there should have been at least three trips or passes through his hometown county, and if he was lucky, he might be able to buy a ticket as soon as he arrived at the train station, and there was a lot of possibility that he would leave immediately.

This made Li Ming think from time to time in his heart: "I hope that as soon as I arrive at the station, I can buy a train ticket that is just ready to leave, and then I can get to the county seat in more than two hours!"

At this time, the driver suddenly interrupted Li Ming's fantasy.

"I just heard that the master who came in front said that there was a traffic jam in front of me, and it has been more than half an hour?"

Hearing the traffic jam that the driver said, Li Ming knew what he was talking about, undoubtedly talking about the traffic jam he encountered just now.

Li Ming nodded and said: "It's been half an hour, there are too many cars, all crowded together, where are the many traffic police now!"

The driver said, "I heard there's a whole street!"

"Well, it's almost, anyway, when I came over, Minghu Road and Kaiyang Road were blocked, and no car could get through!"

The two of them talked about the big traffic jam just now.

Only after the driver said a word, Li Ming would reply.

may also see that Li Ming didn't have much interest in talking, and the taxi master quickly concentrated on driving the car and didn't talk anymore.

Even when he was sitting in the car, Li Ming was constantly looking at the time.

And Li Ming's behavior was also looked at by the taxi driver in the rearview mirror.

Eventually, the taxi driver asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

"Ah......h

Li Ming, who was looking at the time on his phone, didn't hear clearly, raised his head, and his eyes were slightly puzzled.

The driver said again: "I see that you have been watching the time, are you in a hurry?"

"Oh, it's a bit of a rush!"

The driver remembered that Li Ming was going to the train station, so he said, "Are you in a hurry to catch the train?"

Obviously, the driver thought that Li Ming was afraid that he would not be able to catch the train.

Although he guessed some of them correctly, he still didn't get them all right.

Li Ming said: "Well, I'm afraid that when I get to the station in a while, the train will have already left!"

The driver said, "What time is the car?"

The driver thought that Li Ming had already bought the ticket, so he was afraid that he would not catch the train.

Li Ming said: "I haven't bought a ticket yet! It's just that during this time, there was a train running there for us, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch up if I was late!"

Hearing Li Ming say this, the driver understood that Li Ming wanted to catch the train home.

The driver said, "Listen to your accent, it's someone from Liangcheng!"

Li Ming nodded and said, "Yes, it's from Liangcheng!"

The driver said: "I used to stay in Liangcheng, I know the accent of your people over there, where are you from Liangcheng!"

Li Ming said: "The old county town!"

The driver said: "Old county, I know, the most famous thing in your old county town is coal!"

Li Ming said: "But there is not much coal now, it has been dug almost enough, and now the most coal is Pancheng!"

The driver also continued: "Pancheng I know, known as the coal capital!"

The old driver is right, now the most coal mines in your province are Pancheng, and Pancheng also has another title - coal capital, which shows the relationship between Pancheng and coal.

The driver said: "You are busy catching the car to the old county seat! You don't have to worry about this, there are many trains to the old county town, at least six or seven times a day, if you can't catch this trip, there will still be the next train running there in about an hour!"

Li Ming smiled and did not speak.

He didn't explain it to the old driver.

He knew what the old driver said, but the old driver didn't understand the anxiety in his heart.

For Li Ming, it would be good to be able to return to the old county seat an hour earlier.

If it were possible, he would really like to be in the old county right now.

However, this is just a very beautiful wish.

Under normal circumstances, there are very few wishes that can be realized, especially Li Ming's almost impossible wishes.

Li Ming finally arrived at the train station, but unfortunately, a train passing through the old county town had just departed from the station.

This shows that Li Ming can only take the next fast train through the old county seat.

For this, Li Ming did not complain about anything, but quietly lined up to buy tickets and buy tickets for the next train passing through the old county town.

If Li Ming's mother had made the call a little earlier, or if Li Ming hadn't encountered a traffic jam today, then Li Ming would have been able to catch the train.

However, there are not so many ifs in this world.

Li Ming will not complain about anything because of this, but will only leave a trace of regret in his heart.

Although you have to wait for the train more than an hour later, and the time to go back is more than an hour later, at least, it is better than no train at all.

At least we can rush back to the old county seat today.

Li Ming's heart thought like this, which made his mood a little better.

The time of waiting for the bus is boring and boring, especially since smartphones have not yet been popularized, and it is impossible to play mobile games with your mobile phone while waiting for the bus in the waiting room, look at WeChat messages to pass the time, or read novels and movies on your mobile phone, so that time will pass quickly.

After all, at this time, smartphones were not yet widespread.

However, this does not mean that Li Ming has no other way to pass the time.

In Li Ming's very old mobile phone, there is still a kind of game that is popular all over the country, that is, Tetris.

Li Ming is like this, he found a seat in a waiting room and sat down, put his backpack in his arms, and played the little game of Tetris with his mobile phone in his hand.

Li Ming played with relish, and time passed minute by minute in such a situation.

It wasn't until the station announced the arrival of the train that Li Ming stopped the game in his hand, put away his mobile phone instead, and rushed to the platform entrance with everyone.

At this time, there is no need to check the ID card when taking the train, and when entering the waiting room, Li Ming was only looked at the ticket by the station staff, and then came in after checking his backpack.

Now, it's even easier to enter the platform, just take the ticket in your hand and go straight in. R1152
