Chapter 24 It's time to Nanchang

"Then please give us some pointers. "But aren't you hungry? I'm a little hungry. I think we'd better find a place to have a meal first. My father said, "The restaurant where we ate there in the morning is quite affordable, so why don't we go there?" "Where?" the fellow asked. "It's not far from the place where you first performed. My father said. Then they went to the hotel again. However, although my father and that man are fellow villagers, they just met in Pingshui, and as for eating, they didn't say that they cared about you, and they still had to pay for their own pockets.

My father asked the shopkeeper to separate the bowl of noodles, and he and his mother ate half of each. After eating, the fellow took them to Wuchang South Station. After telling them which car to go to Nanchang, the fellow left by himself.

My father then looked for a suitable carriage on that train like the old man in Xiangfan. After searching for a long time, he found an empty carriage. I opened the car door and got in with my mother. Bolted the door on the inside again. The car was parked for a long time before it finally started.

The train moved unhurriedly, like a python winding on the cold tracks. My parents, who were sitting in that carriage, could not hide their excitement. Because they know that the train leads to Nanchang. When I arrived in Nanchang, I went to the place where it was written in the newspaper and found the information department, and maybe I could meet me.

And I might just become famous. At that time, we returned home together with my published book. In this way, the people in the village did not bow down and admire?

My father hummed a little tune excitedly. The mother was also restless, sometimes standing up and walking around the carriage, sometimes squatting down to hold her chin and look at the stars in the sky. The thousands of stars blinked their eyes as if to smile knowingly at her, and even the occasional cool breeze seemed to have a cheerful flavor.

About another two hours or so, the train suddenly stopped. My parents didn't know what was going on, they just sat there and waited. There seems to be a singing sound in the distance, which turns out to be "Honghu water, waves hitting waves";

It sounded like a dog barking, and if you listened closely, it sounded like someone talking. The voice seemed very close, yet very far away, ethereal, intermittent, and very unrealβ€”

When my father heard this, he said to my mother, "Is it another coal stealer?" Mother said. They sat there again and waited for a while, and the voice seemed to be gone, and the father said to the mother, "Baby, the car has just stopped now, and there is probably no one next to it, I want to go down conveniently." What about you?" "I'll go too." Mother said. Then the father and mother opened the door of the carriage and climbed out of it.

They opened the door on the outermost railroad track, and when they walked down the track, there was an endless barren slope. Everything was shrouded in a layer of night, hazy, so dark and mysterious.

My parents stepped off the tracks and found a place to make it easier, quickly got on the train, and closed the door. I couldn't help but tremble again.

After about half an hour of torment, the train finally started. The carriage is still the same carriage, looking up through the mouth of the carriage, there are still so many stars, still such a large patch, and they never move a little because of the movement of the train.

The father was a little sleepy, so he sat there and took a nap, but the mother could not sleep. Because there is a feeling that governs him, and that is to see me soon.

After a while, the stars in the sky suddenly disappeared, replaced by dim lights embedded in the semicircular cement slabs, and the inside of the carriage quickly became dark, and the sides of the train also made a "whoosh" sound from time to time, which sounded terrifying.

My mother was frightened and hurriedly pushed my sleeping father. The father opened his eyes and asked the mother what was the matter. "Why can't you see the stars in the sky?" When his father saw his mother asking him, he looked up, and sure enough, he saw gray-white cement, and after thinking about it, he said to his mother, "Maybe he was crossing a cave." When I was at home, I used to hear people who had taken the train say that when the train reached a mountainous place, it would pass through a cave.

By the way, this should be a cave crossing. "My father was convinced of his ideas. "But this cave has been going on for too long. Mother said. "Jiangxi! I should have arrived in Jiangxi. I've heard people say that there are a lot of mountains in Jiangxi. ”

"Then it should be almost to Nanchang. Mother said excitedly. "I think it's almost there. Father continued. "But how did we know we had arrived in Nanchang?" the mother asked the father.

The father didn't answer his mother's words, but thought about it alone, and then asked her, "When you were in Xiangfan, was the card that the old brother gave you still there?" My mother said.

"Listen to me, do Wuchang and Nanchang both have the word 'Chang'?" "Yes. Mother said. "Then let's feel like we're in Nanchang, and then open the door and go to the stop sign, as long as the word behind is the same as the word on your card, it must be Nanchang." ”

When my mother heard this, she agreed, "That's a good idea." ”

Sure enough, the car walked for more than two hours, and then stopped, and it was still a long time. The father gritted his teeth and made up his mind to say to his mother: "Baby,, I feel like I've arrived in Nanchang, what do you think?" ”

"I feel like it too. As she spoke, her mother could not hide her excitement. "Let's go down then, shall we? "Okay. Mother said.
