At half past four in the morning, the two of them were full of the mood of returning to their hearts, with a morning star above their heads, facing the biting cold wind, stepping on the icy road, carrying their bags, and walking out of the living area hand in hand, and came to Beijing Road. Standing on the side of the road, the cold wind is biting, the breath is foggy, rubbing hands and stomping feet, anxiously waiting for the sparse face of the car.

"The sky is cold and green, and the north wind is called dry mulberry. There is no crack in the thick ice, and there is a cold light in the short days"! On the wide road, there is no bustle and hustle and bustle of the city during the day, the lonely street lamps emit a miserable white light, the sporadic pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, it seems extraordinarily silent and deserted, the taxis are pitifully few, and occasionally one can not be stopped, watching the whistling in front of them.

Qin Meixiang surrounded her head and face tightly, the clothes she was wearing couldn't resist the invasion of the cold wind, and her cold body was like a person who had lost her breath, twisting her soft but resolute waist from time to time, and watching every vehicle coming and going with expectant eyes.

Wu Xiaojun clasped his hands tightly on his chest, constantly changing his steps back and forth, his heart was like an ant sent by a hot pot was restless, impatient, constantly shaking his head and sighing, "The cold wind is dripping, the sky is thousands of miles away, the gloom is the same as the clouds, and the smoke of the brigade is dry." The season is not right, God is guilty, and deliberately returns to people on stormy nights. ”

Qin Meixiang's body shrunk, her teeth chattered and said, "You still want to have the mood of singing and indulging in wine during the day, and returning home with youth, just waiting for more than twenty minutes, you will sigh and sigh, and you will be at a loss, if you wait for a few hours or a few days in the middle of the road, you will go crazy." Don't be unproductive, be a little more calm, be a little more patient, and a qiē will come naturally, and it will pass naturally. ”

"Tick... Backbite... Tick..., are you going to the station, are you taking the train? A taxi braked sharply in front of the two, and the driver asked as he rolled his window.

Wu Xiaojun looked into the car, there was a person sitting in the passenger seat, and the two seats in the back were empty, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, please wait." ”

Turned around and picked up the luggage, opened the car door, gently put it in, beckoned Qin Meixiang to get in the car, closed the door, and started the car. Sitting in the car, it didn't bring a trace of warmth to the two, a window glass behind the car was gone, the car was speeding forward, and the cold wind rushed into the car unscrupulously, hitting the face like a knife. Qin Meixiang couldn't stand the bone-chilling cold, and plunged into Wu Xiaojun's arms, clinging to her chest tightly, absorbing warmth, and never daring to raise her head.

There are few pedestrians on the road, there are not many vehicles, the taxi master is skilled, through the streets and alleys, red and green, less than half an hour, arrived at Pingxi Railway Station. The two got out of the car and trotted all the way into the waiting hall. There are many men, women and children in the waiting hall, dragging their families and mouths, and there are quite a lot of passengers with large bags and small bags, one by one, staggering, exhausted, noisy, and chaotic. The two of them turned around twice, but could not find a seat to rest, so they had to sit down at an old table at the exit of the bathroom.

Qin Meixiang went to the bathroom to wash her face, combed her long hair that was a little scattered, and put a little lipstick on her lips, looking more satisfied, she walked out and asked with a smile, "Xiaojun, see that I am not spiritual, beautiful or not?" ”

Wu Xiaojun looked at it carefully, nodded again and again, and said softly, "It's really good, beautiful, innocent, beautiful, elegant, rich, beautiful and delicious, better than the painting." ”

Qin Meixiang was overjoyed, looked at Wu Xiaojun intently, pursed her lips and smiled, "It's a pity, my neat and neat outfit and appearance are just a flash in the pan, and they will soon be ruined by the crowded and dirty passengers on the bus, and when they get off the bus, they may become a country girl who has experienced the vicissitudes of wind and rain." ”

At this time, some of the people waiting for the train had already stood up from their seats, picked up their luggage and moved to the ticket gate to line up, Wu Xiaojun laughed and said, "It's okay, Qingshui comes out of hibiscus, natural carving, we have good natural conditions, and nothing can be changed." It's almost time to check in and enter the station, let's go and queue up to get ready for the check-in. As he spoke, he picked up his luggage, pulled Qin Meixiang and moved towards the ticket gate.

Soon, there were people lined up behind him, constantly pushing forward, and from time to time there were people in front of him who were carrying large bags and rampage in line, pushing back and squeezing forward, scolding constantly, and the scene was quite chaotic. At this time, five or six station managers in uniforms and holding wooden sticks more than one meter long did not say a word, and beat a passenger in front of him, frightening the people behind him to retreat like dominoes.

Wu Xiaojun and the two were quietly looking at the station's ticket inspection tips and listening to the station radio with a high degree of concentration, the sudden change was unguarded, the middle-aged woman wearing high heels in front of her foot suddenly retreated, and stepped heavily on Qin Meixiang's left foot with one foot, so painful that she turned pale, grinned her teeth, and fell to the side with a "Mom" sound. Wu Xiaojun hurriedly reached out and grabbed Qin Meixiang's shoulders and helped her sit down on the seat next to her, "How is it, does your foot hurt badly?" ”

Qin Meixiang's facial features were twisted into a ball, her brows were furrowed, her eyes were full of tears, she bit her lip tightly, she lifted her stiff and heavy left foot with great difficulty, and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth for a long time, "It hurts me to death." ”

Seeing Qin Meixiang's painful expression, the middle-aged woman hurriedly asked, "Little girl, where did you step on you, isn't it amazing?" I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

As soon as Qin Meixiang heard the middle-aged woman speak, she was angry, and said with an angry face, "Why don't you have long eyes and step on other people's feet, why don't you step on your own feet, your back heel is about to break my toes, you still say that it was not intentional, is it that I am full of food and stretch out my feet for you to step on?" ”

The middle-aged woman looked indecent, her face was full of fat powder, a pungent nose, full of solemnity and anger, and said, "Little girl, you are not very old, your temper is not small, how can you talk like this, there are so many people in front of you, I can't stand being squeezed, I am also a victim, who am I angry at, I want me to say that your feet are not in the place, and you deserve to step on it." Could it be that I stepped on you involuntarily?"

Wu Xiaojun saw that Qin Meixiang was really in pain, otherwise she wouldn't be angry, and the middle-aged woman was not a fuel-efficient lamp, once the tip of the needle met Maimang, the two quarreled, and it was not good for anyone, so he hurriedly dissuaded, "Eldest sister, after all, my sister's feet were stepped on too hard by you, and it hurt so badly that she said such angry words, don't mind, it's not easy to go out, it's okay to treat each other and understand each other." Besides, they're all in a hurry to get home on the road, who wants to be in trouble if they have nothing to do, so you can say a few words. The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes and said no more.

Wu Xiaojun looked down at Qin Meixiang and comforted, "The pain is lighter now, do you want to find a doctor to take a look." ”

Qin Meixiang said, "It's a little better than just now, I shouldn't have stepped on the bones, stop for a while, I really couldn't control the anger in my heart just now, isn't it a little crazy." It's not pleasing to look at her, demonic, she doesn't look at what she does when she goes out, and she wears a pair of high heels like nails in the waves, and she is not afraid to go out and break the door foot. ”

Wu Xiaojun saw that Qin Meixiang's feelings eased somewhat, and a hanging heart slowly eased up, "Don't mention her, there are hundreds of people of all kinds, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, the train is about to start, why haven't you checked the ticket to enter the station, will it be", before the words were finished, the station radio sounded, and the announcer repeatedly and continuously broadcast, "Comrades passengers, comrades passengers, the delay time of the K388 train from Xidu to Shanghai is undecided, please pay attention to the announcement of the radio and the train attendant." ”

Some passengers in line were in an uproar and left the line to find seats. Wu Xiaojun looked worried, sighed softly and said, "Mei Xiang, this kind of weather now, it is easy to cause the train to be delayed, I don't know when it will arrive, it seems that the two of us are going out today, and the future is uncertain, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet my mother safely." ”

Qin Meixiang's red lips pursed, and she said, "Bah, bah, close your crow's mouth, Layue is not allowed to say unlucky words, it is now the peak of passenger traffic, coupled with bad weather, it is normal for the train to be delayed, besides, people who often run outside, who does not encounter such a thing, there will be more in the future, you must calm your heart, endure loneliness and loneliness." What's more, now that I am with you as my companion, why sigh for a long time. ”

The train was delayed for about an hour, and under the expectation of everyone, the ticket inspection finally began to enter the station. The station door opened, the crowd approached the station like a tide, the busy station staff were overwhelmed, and some shouldered large bags directly over the railing, and a dozen or so staff with sticks stopped this and ran that, but they couldn't stop the hurried and eager passengers.

Wu Xiaojun and the two were boosted by the blessing of the crowd in front and behind, sweating, before they came to the ticket inspector, and before they could take the ticket from the ticket inspector, they were already pushed into the entrance corridor of the platform by the people behind. A large number of people, all nervous and panicked, trotted all the way to the platform, just like the people in the movie who fled in a hurry to avoid the Japanese invaders.

A middle-aged country woman, holding a bulging large woven bag in her hand, holding a girl about one year old in her arms, hurriedly moving forward, when going down the steps, the corner of the bag was tripped by the steps, the angle turned to block the right foot, the left leg was paralyzed and sat on the edge of the steps, the child in her arms flew out, the middle-aged woman was frightened, stunned, and watched the girl roll from the top of more than 20 steps to the bottom platform, and the head was broken and bleeding, and she cried.

Seeing this, Qin Meixiang had goosebumps all over her body, and she quickly covered her eyes, not daring to look at it again, "The little girl is too miserable, too pitiful." ”

Wu Xiaojun was full of fear in his heart, held Qin Meixiang's hand tightly, and carefully walked down the steps step by step to the platform. On the platform, a staff member on duty every tens of meters, carrying a wooden stick in his hand, kept blowing a whistle and shouting loudly, guiding passengers to wait in line. Wu Xiaojun and the two of them crossed seven or eight boarding places, each of them was too crowded, and when they looked forward, they were all like this, so they had to stand behind the team nearby.

The train whistle sounded, the train slowly entered the station, watching the train slowly pass in front of me, and the carriage was densely packed with human heads, and I was nervous. As soon as the train stood firm, the neat line began to agitate, and people pushed the upper train. The conductor stood at the door of the car, looked at the crowd below, hesitated for a long time, and then opened the door, and the people below rushed up, blocking the door tightly, the upper ones could not get down, the lower ones could not go up, they were deadlocked with each other, and the station staff shouted loudly, no one was willing to give way, and they were all looking for the right time to get off or get on the train. At this moment, as soon as a car window was opened, a young man in his twenties leaned over the window edge, climbed into the window with force, and then five or six people got into the car in the same way.

Seeing that the train was about to start, and there was not much time, Wu Xiaojun and the two were so anxious that they couldn't get their wish after changing a few entrances. The station rang the train start bell, only to see the station manager running before and after, keep blowing the whistle, shouting at the top of his voice, still can't stop the people who climb the window to get on the train, in a hurry, pick up the wooden stick and keep slamming the people who climb the window, the scene is extremely terrifying and frightening, there are a few people who were beaten crying dad and calling mother, the nose is blue and the face is swollen, the hands and feet are soft, and they are willing to let go. Looking at this scene, Qin Meixiang pulled the martial arts army, "There are too many people, it seems that we can't get on this train, safety first, don't take this risk, wait for the next trip." ”

The train roared, started slowly, and soon disappeared from sight. The two looked at each other, helpless, frightened, and lost, all in a word. I wanted to pause for a moment and wait for the next train to arrive, but the station staff began to shout again, "Don't stop on the platform, hurry up and exit the tunnel mouth." ”
