Chapter Thirty-Nine: This Guy Is Really Lucky

In a hurry, Vera's mother didn't see the blood on Argyle's body, and when she saw such a majestic man appear, she was very satisfied, and after a few quick words, she jumped off the train at the urging of the conductor.

The third departure bell rang and the train started.

As an old industrial country, Britain has a typical feature of having more train lines than bus lines in the city. Standing on the street, it is not uncommon to see a very short, perhaps four-seater train carriage whirring past you. This type of train does not have a locomotive traction, the traction device is under the carriage, and it is only the size of a box.

Thirty to forty percent of the seats in British trains are often empty, because there are not enough passengers, in order to save operating costs, so the train carriages continue to shrink, and now, there are only two rows of seats, funny-looking "pocket trains".

If you want to get from one city to another in the UK, the choice for nine adults is to take the train, because the train is the most convenient, cheap and fast and safe means of transport in the UK. An Feng's train is an intercity train, the train is very beautiful, the body is very short, and there are only 4 carriages in total. The seats on the bus are spacious and comfortable, the aisle is very wide, and the stroller can be pushed directly onto the car, and it will not affect the movement of the aisle personnel when placed on the aisle.

This type of intercity train has only one conductor. The train door is in the middle of the carriage, and the passenger presses the button next to it, and the door opens automatically, and the door closes automatically after the person leaves. The conductor only appeared when checking the ticket, and after the train traveled for a while, An Feng still didn't ask Argyle, and Argyle kept smirking, and his hand kept stroking the big backpack on his back.

About ten minutes after the train started, a middle-aged man came from the junction of the previous carriage and checked the tickets one by one. When I met each passenger, I asked kindly, "Do I need to buy a ticket?" ”

A passenger handed him the ticket without saying a word, and he immediately said politely: "Thank you!" Welcome to this train. If you didn't have a ticket, you can buy it now. A passenger handed over a few bills as promised...... The conductor walked all the way, saying "thank you, thank you" to everyone, softly speaking sincerely, and humbly.

Scarlett sat quietly in her seat since the conductor appeared, quiet like a beautiful doll. An Feng handed over the tickets of the two of them, and handed Argyle's ticket money, and after the conductor thanked him, he glanced at Argyll, looked at the green badges on An Feng and Scarlett, and asked earnestly: "Both, what do you need help with?" ”

Argyle is twelve years old and can travel alone for short trips without an adult escort. In British primary schools, it is common for a junior student to be taken care of by an older student, who is responsible for guiding them to familiarize themselves with the school environment and curriculum. The conductor took it for granted that Argyle was the "guide" of the two. Seeing An Feng shaking his head gently, the conductor didn't insist, handed over the ticket stub, and humbly reminded: "I am on duty at the back of the train, if you have any needs, please feel free to come to the back of the train to find me." ”

When the voice of "thank you" floated out of the carriage, Scarlett immediately jumped up, pulled out a bag of brightly packaged snacks from her backpack, sat on a stool and began to eat them, saying while eating: "Brother Kane, where are we going after going to the museum?" I don't want to eat with adults at noon, what are your good ideas? ”

"Let's not talk about this yet", An Feng turned his gaze to Argyle: "Tell me what's going on with you?" ”

Argyle didn't seem to notice that there was blood on his body, and he was very interested: "Kane, I came out of school early, I wanted to go to your house and go with you, but suddenly it occurred to me that I could buy some gifts for my aunt and cousin, and I just happened to have some change on hand, well, my income this week is very good, you see, I have pounds now, and I have five pounds, ten pounds...... I have twenty-one pounds and seventy-five pence. Ah, I also spent twenty pounds, and...... Thirty-four pence. ”

An Feng almost couldn't help it, Scarlett couldn't help it even more than him, and urged first: "Speak quickly, don't count your money." ”

Scarlett glanced at An Feng sideways, among the three children, An Feng should be the richest, the day before yesterday, his father gave him 500 pounds, and when he left the next day, his father gave An Feng another 1,000 pounds, and last night his mother gave An Feng another 200 pounds - these two hundred pounds are the pocket money for Scarlett and An Feng to go to London. The money was not given to Scarlett, which also shows that Mom and Dad finally used Kane as their "own son".

In this way, An Feng has at least 1,700 pounds on hand, which is more than Scarlett's entire deposit. In front of a rich boy with a thousand seventeen pounds in his pocket, you are embarrassed to count your tens of pounds of bills.

Argyle put the trivial change on the stool and continued: "I went to the Morrison supermarket - where things were cheap, I bought toys, perfume and stockings for my aunt, who always complained that the stockings were not strong, and this time I bought her two dozen, enough for her to wear. ”

Argyll had a happy smile on her face, and Scarlett wanted to urge, but seeing Argyll's happiness so simple, she couldn't bear to disturb it, she threw a piece of puffed food in her mouth, felt a snort, and waited quietly for the next - the train would take two hours, and it would take a long time.

"Then I walked out of the supermarket with a big bag, and suddenly found a bunch of policemen around the door of the supermarket, I wanted to go out, and the police insisted on me to show my ID, why did he ask me to show my ID. I won't give, I'm leaving!

Later, a policewoman told me that the supermarket had turned off the alarm, and they rushed over to surround the supermarket, and it was said that the robbers had not left...... Oops, how come I didn't find someone robbing? It can't be my looks that scare the cashier, right? ”

And then on...... Scarlett munched on the puffed food, her legs dangling on the stool.

"The police said that there were too many bandages on my face, and I was asked to untie the bandages to see, I didn't, the doctor said that the bandages could only be removed next week, and I overpressed with the police, and then the supermarket people came out and said that I was fine, they had tracked down the robbers, and the robbers wanted to escape from the elevator to the basement, from the outlet, and as a result, the elevator broke down......

I thought it was interesting and wanted to stand and look at it for a while, but then I remembered that the train was about to leave and I had to get to the station before I could drive. I started running, and I just turned the corner of the supermarket, and suddenly I bumped into a person, and I knocked that person out of the way...... Luckily, I held the bag tightly, but his bag was thrown far away. ”

"Is that man a robber? They escaped from the freight elevator? Scarlett's eyes lit up, and her mouth snapped.

"This, I don't know, why don't I ask the police?" Argyle looked dazed.

"What did you do?" Scarlett asked.

"I knocked him down, the man was covered in blood, strange, he hit me, he just sat on the buttocks, how could there be blood on the head? …… I rushed over to help, but he resolutely refused to let me help, so I insisted on helping. He kept trying to shake off my hand, and I insisted on picking him up...... His strength is not small, and I can't hold it a little. Later, when the police came, he didn't struggle.

But the police are fine, they don't mind if I just quarreled with them, I just picked him up, and the police immediately said hand it over to them, it's good. So I left a phone call for the police and told them that I was going to take the train and was in a hurry, and if the person needed treatment, they could call this number and I would pay for the medical bills.

Kane, I left your mobile phone number, don't you mind? How much does it cost to treat a bump? Do I have enough money? If not enough......"

"I'll leave this matter to me," An Feng replied. He immediately took out his phone and turned it on.

Argyle nodded happily: "Then I won't worry about it." ”

After that, Argyle looked at Scarlett pitifully: "Miss Scarlett, are you rich in snacks?" ”

Scarlett pursed her lips and said displeasedly, "My snack Kane can be eaten, but you ...... How many snacks can you eat openly? You go to Morrison's supermarket, don't you buy a small snack? ”

An Feng put the phone back in his pocket and asked abruptly: "Scarlett, how much will the 'Good Citizen Award' cost?" ”

Scarlett immediately turned her head, ignoring Argyle's pitiful gaze, and replied to An Feng: "It depends on how much the 'city fund' is this year, maybe not a penny, only commendations and awards, maybe some food rolls (buying food in supermarkets in the city can be used for cash, and supermarkets can offset taxes after collecting food rolls), and it also depends on how many winners there are this year, maybe he can get a thousand pounds in cash...... What, you mean—"

Scarlett didn't react until she finished speaking, and she turned to Argyle with her mouth open: "You mean, Argyle hit a real robber?" ”

"Very likely", An Feng analyzed: "Otherwise, the police will not let Argyle go easily." Well, it takes about an hour to take the injured to the hospital and get a diagnosis again, and if the hospital doesn't call to pay the medical bill within twenty minutes, then Argyle is the robber. ”

An Feng finally knew why Argyle was able to blend in with the army. Such an ugly man, coupled with his intellectual defects, wants to be accepted by the army very reluctantly, unless this guy has always been a "good citizen", and the army cannot refuse.

How can this guy be so lucky? If you bump into a robber on the street, why can't I bump into it?

"Argyll, you're so lucky", Scarlett said this for An Feng, her big eyes blinked, and she asked gossipily: "If you get a bonus, how do you want to spend this money?" ”

……

In the midst of the noise, the two-and-a-half-hour drive arrived quickly, and outside the station, Argyle also waved goodbye to An Feng, and each embarked on a different road. An Feng took Scarlett's hand and continued to drive to the British Museum, where they planned to visit the Museum of Greek and Roman Antiquities today.

The two joined hands and went to the service desk to spend £5 to join the guided tour organized by the museum, and with a group of friends who also visited the museum, they went to various interpretation points and listened to the stories of the museum's collections told by professional docents, and before they knew it, it was noon. Scarlett was too tired to walk, and An Feng didn't plan to leave just now, so he suggested: "Why don't we go to Russell Square to rest for a while, and wait for me to get in touch...... Forget it, let's find our own lunch, there are a lot of food trucks around Russell Square. If we have to wait for the appointed lord to come and lead us to eat, we will starve to death. ”

Scarlett was immediately moved, and said happily: "Okay, as long as Brother Kane is willing to have a treat, I don't care." ”

No one noticed that at this time, lawyer Steven had followed behind An Feng with his bag, and the foreign brother and sister held hands and searched around, and finally found a suitable seat next to the fast food car, lawyer Steven sat behind An Feng with his bag and heavy heart......
