Chapter 37: The Strange Man on the Train
"The train to Xicheng is about to depart, please get on the train as soon as possible."
Listening to the radio on the platform outside, Zheng Jing, who was lying on his bunk in the sleeper car, yawned boredly.
Through the window, Zheng Jing looked at the bustling crowd in the station outside with little energy, quietly thinking about things in his mind.
Zheng Jing has dealt with a lot of things in the past two days since he came back from the Dragon God Continent, the preparation of the jewelry company and the processing of instant noodle orders have kept Zheng Jing busy.
But after being busy for a while, Zheng Jing suddenly found that he seemed to have nothing to do all of a sudden, the only thing he needed to do now was to wait, wait for the jewelry store to open, wait for the factory to deliver the instant noodles he needed, wait for the mobile phone company to give him an answer, and wait for Lei Zhen to find him a channel to deal with that Tian Huangshi, after all these are done, Zheng Jing's career is on the right track, but before that, apart from waiting patiently, Zheng Jing really can't think of what else he can do.
Therefore, when Guo Jia proposed to leave the capital to take a look elsewhere, Zheng Jing agreed without thinking.
Guo Jia's statement is to take Zheng Jing to a place to help him find a long-term solution to the problem of transmitting energy, Zheng Jing himself also plans to go back to his southern hometown to have a look, and then continue to go south to find new things that can be used to trade with other plane merchants, to say that although the capital is the capital, the richness of the products is still not as good as some areas along the southern coast.
In the past two days, Zheng Jing also took the time to contact Xuan Qing, the old man who had been helping Zheng Jing heard that Zheng Jing had come back from the Dragon God Continent without saying hello to him, but he didn't say anything, only that this time Zheng Jing was asked to go to other worlds in order to let him adapt to the atmosphere of the next plane mission in advance, and when Zheng Jing asked him what the so-called plane mission was, Xuan Qing still kept silent.
Then Zheng Jing asked the terminal about the plane mission, and the answer was that this was the information that could only be obtained with D-level or higher permissions, which meant that Zheng Jing had to raise his authority to D-level in order to participate in this plane mission.
When Zheng Jing was thinking about things, he suddenly felt that one of his arms was being held, and then he was pressed by the weight of a person, and when he turned his head, he found that Guo Jia didn't know when he climbed onto his bed again, just like an octopus, holding his body, staring at him with big watery eyes.
Seeing Guo Jia's aggrieved appearance, Zheng Jing felt very big, although he didn't take the initiative to talk to her in the past two days in order to pretend to be majestic, but this woman's reaction was not so numb, right?
Zheng Jing didn't speak, Guo Jia continued to shake Zheng Jing's arm unrelentingly, and said in a coquettish tone: "Won't I be obedient in the future?" Don't ignore me, okay? ”
Zheng Jing pulled his arm out of Guo Jia's arms, and pretended to be calm: "What do you want me to do?" We're just a boss and an employee. ”
"Hmph, I don't care, anyway, I just like you, so I'm going to pester you!" Guo Jia said, squeezed his head into Zheng Jing's arms again, and rubbed up and down like a kitten.
"Don't go too far!" Zheng Jing deliberately turned his face cold, took out the seven-star sword and shook the three-foot-long sword blade in front of Guo Jia, so frightened that Guo Jia had to stick out his tongue and honestly crawl back to his bunk.
At this moment, the door of the room suddenly opened from the outside, and when he heard the door, Zheng Jing hurriedly took the Seven Star Sword back into his storage space, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the door.
There are a total of four bunks in this soft sleeper room, three of which belong to Zheng Jing and his party, in fact, Zheng Jing really wanted to take his family to the train, and it was easy to be labeled as a pet by Brother Hei Chao, who was easily regarded as a robber, to be checked to the destination, but under the strange eyes of the staff who handled the consignment, Zheng Jing still gave up this idea and went to buy three tickets.
At this time, the person who came in must be the last passenger in this room, but when he saw the person, Zheng Jing's eyes widened suddenly, because the person who walked in was actually a thin man wearing a Taoist robe, an ingots hat and a pair of round sunglasses, and when he walked into the room, he was holding a white cloth banner in his right hand, on which the word "God Calculation" was written with a brush, and his left hand was holding a black compass, which was simply a classic image of a god stick in the TV series, which made Zheng Jingdu almost think that he had crossed over.
"Hey, you fortune tellers don't set up stalls on the flyover, why do you still run the train to flow homework? Get out and get out. Zheng Jing, who had been stopped by these magic sticks several times on the streets of the capital, saw this person and waved his hand impatiently, and was ready to let Brother Hei Chao pick up people.
The man smiled, came to Zheng Jing's bed and saluted, and said, "The donor has misunderstood, my name is Xiao Meng, and I also traveled by this train." ”
As the man named Xiao Meng spoke, he put down his cloth banner and compass as he was eating, and then took off his robe and ingot hat and folded them on the bed, revealing a brand-name fashion dress inside.
"Sure enough, it's a money-cheating magic ......" Zheng Jing muttered in a low voice, but soon his contempt turned into jealousy, after Xiao Meng took off the round sunglasses, the face that was completely revealed turned out to be a very young, but handsome handsome guy!
It is said that women are jealous, but in fact, men's jealousy is definitely no worse than that of women, at least Zheng Jing wanted to punch that guy in the face when he saw a man who was more handsome than him.
The train started quickly, and in the room, except for Brother Hei Chao, who was ordered by Zheng Jing to wrap himself in the quilt and hurry to sleep as soon as he got on the train, the handsome guy named Xiao Meng took the initiative to talk to Zheng Jing and Guo Jiapan.
"This male donor, are you going to Xicheng on this trip?"
Zheng Jing didn't mind chatting with this fellow traveler, so he said, "It's a bit of a matter to go over there, but I'll go to the south later." ”
"Hehe, when I go out, it is also fate to meet the donor here, why don't I come to the donor to tell the good luck of this trip?"
Zheng Jing's eyes kept looking at the scenery outside the window, and when he heard the words, he didn't turn his head, and said, "Whatever." ”
Xiao Meng didn't go to his heart, closed his eyes and pinched his fingers a few times, and after a while, he opened his eyes again: "It's done." ”
Without waiting for Xiao Meng to say the result, Guo Jia, who had been watching the excitement curiously on the side, asked first: "You are too casual in your fortune telling, right?" Don't you need that compass you bring? ”
Also, a fashionably dressed young handsome guy is telling fortunes there decently, this scene is really weird to watch.
Xiao Meng said with a smile: "If I don't pretend to be like a little bit and no one will ask me for fortune telling, then I won't be able to eat, in fact, fortune telling is not so complicated." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Jing was a little curious, turned his head and asked, "Then tell me, what did you calculate?" ”
"Well, this male benefactor, I see that after you left Beijing, the yin and yang breath began to give birth to chaotic signs, your luck should be in the north, and I am afraid that this trip to the south will have many twists and turns, but there are signs of bright willows and flowers, and you should get the help of nobles to help you tide over the difficulties."
Elegant? Don't tell me you're talking about this woman, do you? Zheng Jing glanced at Guo Jia, but he didn't take this magic stick too seriously, he didn't believe it very much.
It was Guo Jia, who immediately pouted and was unhappy when he heard that Xiao Meng didn't say good things to Zheng Jing.
"I said you're not professional with a god? is obviously a Taoist priest, and he is full of donors, and Xiao Meng is your Dharma name or your common name? I think even I know more than you do. ”
"No, no, my inheritance is not Buddhism or Taoism, and there is no red tape such as the Dharma name, the second generation of the Xiaoyao faction has been introduced, and there is only one name Xiao Menger."
"...... Second generation? "Whether it's Zheng Jing or Guo Jia, they both have a black line, what kind of carefree school is this, it sounds too unreliable, right? It can't be formed by a group of second-year young people who have read two martial arts novels, right?
Xiao Meng should be able to feel the disapproving attitude of the two towards him, he didn't care, turned his head and said to Guo Jia with a smile: "It's this female benefactor, although I look at your face as a person who has suffered a lot of ups and downs since childhood, but I still advise you, how can you get the trust of others if you are suspicious of others everywhere?" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Listening to Xiao Meng's two clueless words, Guo Jia seemed to be poked in pain, her face was a little unnatural, and she defended: "Besides, what do I care about others?" At least that's enough for my husband to trust me, right? ”
Seeing Guo Jia looking at him, Zheng Jing rolled his eyes directly: "Don't scream in front of outsiders, who is your husband?" ”
Guo Jia pouted and wanted to say two more words about the magic stick with an unhappy face, but when she turned her head, she showed a stunned expression, how could you still see the shadow of that handsome young man in the room with little space? Even the outfit he had put on the bed was gone.
There was not a trace left on the handle of the door, no one could see when the man named Xiao Meng disappeared, and until the train arrived at the station, the remaining bed in the room was always empty, and no one ever returned.
