said that he would meet at 10 o'clock in the morning, but Liu Yuze arrived at the train station at the latest at 9:40. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoYou have to wait for an hour inside the station.

The two teachers spent ten minutes talking about the precautions of traveling, and then everyone had nothing to do to chat to pass the time. Zhao Yiming was very interested in visiting the railway station in Jingxing City in this time and space.

On this plane, empires have many similarities with the republics of the original plane. This includes the main way people travel far distances - all by rail.

The country is big, and there are many people. No matter how rich the national conditions are, the railway must be regarded as the main means of transportation for the public to travel with large capacity, all-weather, low energy consumption, low pollution, small land occupation, and safety and reliability.

Of course, the empire was not without airplanes as its main mode of travel, such as the border between the empire and Soviet Russia, and the sparsely populated Far North east of the Lena River. With a population of less than 30 million people on an area of more than 4 million square kilometers, it is naturally much more cost-effective to use airplanes.

For people like Zhao Yiming who are in the mainland, the only way to go to Tanzhou, which is more mainland, is to take a train. Of course, if you give up the money, you can also take a civil aviation. It's just that compared with trains, civil aviation is scumbag in other respects except for the speed.

Don't look at this time and space, it's only 2006, but the country has completed the high-speed rail plan. Today's trains are more spacious and run more smoothly, and there is almost no shaking on board. And the price problem of the most sick dirt in the original plane is not a problem in the empire, whether it is the price of the ticket or the price of the meal on the car, although it is not cheap, it is not so expensive that most people complain.

Civil aviation, on the other hand, has expensive fares, unpalatable meals, and airport facilities are not as good as brand-new high-speed rail stations. If the weather is not right, there is a good chance that you will return later or altogether. Therefore, most of the people of the empire generally chose trains for long journeys except for urgent matters.

After waiting for 1 hour, the train entered the station on time, and the station radio began to remind people to check in and board the train.

A line of eight people rushed towards the wicket.

Although it was only a little more than four hours of travel. But He Yiyi still bought soft seats for all the staff - anyway, the train tickets were reimbursed. The soft seat is a 2+2 sofa seat, which is much wider and more comfortable than the 2+3 hard seat that Zhao Yiming sat on the most in his previous life. Eight people occupy exactly two 2+2 seating areas.

After placing the luggage, everyone was seated. Zhao Yiming and Zhao Yatong are in a row, and opposite are Liu Yiyi and Yu Wenlan. Song Chuxia wanted to pester Yu Wenlan to change seats, but Yu Wenlan refused on the grounds that there should be a teacher in each district. She had no choice but to return to her seat in a huff.

But what made her even more listless was that when she took out something, Yu Wenlan spoke again: "Don't think about playing, the contestants. Yes, Song Chuxia, put away your playing cards. Let's hurry up and read for a while. We still have a lot to do when we get to our destination, and maybe we won't have time to read. ”

She wanted to do this at the station just now, but she gave up because it was too noisy.

Forty years old, very calm Du Yi comforted: "Everyone can play in the car if they want, and when we come back." As long as you don't disturb others, you can play however you want. ”

Zhao Yiming wanted to comfort Song Chuxia for a few words, but he couldn't think of any suitable words, so he had to give up. It's just that after that, everyone else was reading, but he looked out the window at the scenery and began to be distracted. This kind of behavior probably doesn't have the qualifications to persuade others.

When Yu Wenlan saw him like this, she could only be helpless.

This kid's training camp in the past two days has shocked everyone. His knowledge of poetry was so rich that she was too embarrassed to ask him to review anything more - it wasn't just a waste of people's time.

But fortunately, this guy is not in a blatant daze, and he still knows that he is holding a copy of "Tang Poetry and Song Ci" in his hand. Yu Wenlan didn't see him lazy.

Zhao Yatong on the side didn't pay much attention to the surroundings since she sat down, she was holding a manuscript and reading it fascinated.

It was Zhao Yiming's revised "Phantom City".

Unfortunately, after being seen by the elder sister, she "forced" herself to take out everything she had written and give it to her. My own sister, Zhao Yiming simply printed out the full text.

A thick stack of A4 paper! After binding it with staples, it was snatched away by the old lady.

Zhao Yiming could only look at the old lady worriedly, praying in his heart that she would not transform into a rotten woman.

The train heads all the way west.

After 12 o'clock, everyone went to the dining car for lunch. After lunchtime, the train stopped in Wuhan.

The stop time at this stop is relatively long, 15 minutes. And there are more people getting on and off the bus. The seats parallel to Zhao Yiming's seat across the aisle have also been replaced. Originally, a mother took a seven or eight-year-old boy, but became a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar and a young man who looked like a college student.

After they put their luggage away, the middle-aged man sat down in his seat. The young man looked into the carriage, and he immediately saw Zhao Yiming and them.

"Are you going to Tanzhou to participate in the poetry contest for middle school students?" The young man asked with interest. He asked this question when he saw a few seventeen or eighteen-year-old children holding poetry books and reading them.

"Yes." Yu Wenlan replied politely, and then asked, "May I ask you too?" ”

"Just go see, go see." Although the young man admitted, it was clearly perfunctory. After a few more pleasantries, the young man returned to his seat and sat down.

Yu Wenlan also stopped paying attention to them.

Zhao Yiming glanced at the middle-aged man a few more times, and then he fell into his previous state again.

After a 15-minute layover in Wuhan, the train continued its journey. The journey is not far, from Jingxing to Tanzhou, to Wuhan means that two-thirds of the distance has been walked. Tanzhou is already close at hand.

"Xiangshui!"

With He Yiyi's excited voice. Everyone wants to look out the window, a rushing river is coming from far and near.

The Xiangjiang River, the water system of Dongting Lake, has a total length of 800 kilometers and a basin area of 100,000 square kilometers.

But for those who live on the banks of the Yangtze River, it's not exciting at all. So although Zhao Yiming also looked out the window, he didn't even raise his eyelids. And the reason why he looked out the window was not because of He Yiyi, he was originally looking at the scenery.

It stands to reason that He Yiyi and they shouldn't be excited, Jingxing City is close to the Yangtze River. He forgot that he was pretending to be a child, and He Yiyi was pretending to be an adult. Therefore, children who pretend to be adults will forget to pretend to be adults because of the novelty. And adults who pretend to be children will reveal the essence of adults from time to time.

"In a while, we'll be able to see Orange Island." He Yiyi said excitedly: "It is the largest inland continent in the world, with a history of more than 1,600 years. ”

"Look, it's Orange Island."

Before He Yiyi's words fell, on Zhao Yiming's back-to-back seats, a boy also pointed out the window and shouted.

Orange Island, of course Zhao Yiming knows. It's too famous.

Looking at Yuelu Mountain in the west, Tanzhou City in the east, surrounded by water on all sides, stretching for dozens of miles, the narrowest place is 40 meters, the widest place is 140 meters, the shape is like a long island, like a long belt, floating on the Xiangjiang River.

"I heard that our middle school students' poetry contest is on Orange Island. And if you can make it to the top four, you can also stay in the best hotel on the continent. ”

It's still the same boy, but this time it's the girl next to him who says to him. The two boys and girls stood up and crowded the window, their faces full of eagerness.

He said to the girl: "This time we will definitely be in the top three." ”

His voice had just fallen.

"We're going to win the championship." Another teenager's unconvinced voice interjected.

As the young man's energetic voice sounded one after another, the carriage became more and more lively, and he almost didn't hear the prompt on the radio that there were still thirty minutes to arrive.

After the teenagers communicated with each other, everyone found that among the seventy or eighty people in the entire carriage, 22 people went to Tanzhou to participate in the poetry contest for middle school students. Zhao Yiming's team has 8 people, and the other two teams have 7 people in each team.

Then they asked each other about their previous rankings, and there was another burst of laughter - He Yiyi's team won the fifteenth place last time. The other two teams, one of which was still outside the top 20 last year, and the other team was simply eliminated in the preliminary round last year and only turned over this year.

The young man in the same row as Zhao Yiming looked at the lively carriage and couldn't help but sigh: "These children, they are really newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers." Don't underestimate this competition, this is a concentration of young talents from all over the country. You must know that the strongest of the strong is more of a strong player. ”

His voice was neither high nor low, but it happened to be heard by Zhao Yiming.

"It's just a young classmate." He replied with a grin. Such a good atmosphere, don't spoil it.

"Just a young boy?"

He Yiyi's eyes lit up: "Xiao Ming, do you have a new poem, come and listen." As the president of the Ancient Poetry Society, she still has a high sensitivity to poetry.

The young people also became interested: "Is this classmate still a poet, does he have any good works?" ”

"Excellent! Of course. Song Chuxia also followed, she turned around and knelt in her seat, tilting her head a little impatiently: "You listen." ”

"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent.

One look at the city, and then look at the country. ”

"How?" Song Chuxia's inquiry was full of pride. Under Zhao Yiming's acquiescence, she has already written this poem for her, and if she doesn't show off at this time, when will it be?

"Peerless and independent! Allure the city and the country! ”

Young people savor this poem, this impact is a bit big, is there such a beauty in the world? However, although he was surprised, he still subconsciously turned his head to look at the middle-aged man.

The scholar-like middle-aged man had already noticed, he had obviously heard the whole poem clearly, and his face turned with a slight surprise.

At this time, Zhao Yiming, under the urging of He Yiyi, also read aloud new words that he had never heard before:

"Just a young man,

Bloom of youth;

bookish temperament,

Scolding Fang Xuan.

Pointing out the country,

exalting words,

The dung was ten thousand households. ”
