Chapter 59: The Rabble
"Ding, ding, dingβ"
The train shuttles between the green hills, and the continuous scenery of the mountains outside the window is unreal, and the mountains are not real as a painting. The sky was as blue as if it had been soaked in water, and there was not a single cloud.
This time they took a different route, first taking a train to another city, and then taking a train to Wan Town.
There is only a hard-seated green train, and this ride takes seven hours.
The sound in the carriage was noisy, there were all kinds of different voices, frolicking, and snoring, Jiang Zhou had a little headache when he heard it, and looked at Ji An on the side, indifferently and distantly, looking out the window.
Sitting opposite sat a man about the same age as Ji An, with a little boy.
Jiang Zhou observed them without moving, the little boy called him second uncle, it should be an uncle-nephew relationship.
She looked at the little boy in the denim suit and thought of Zava.
But he looks a little young, not as lively as children, talking with a straight look, getting in the car until now, in addition to going to the bathroom, is wearing headphones, quietly reading a book.
Occasionally, when his eyes met, he didn't have any expression, but his second uncle smiled at Jiang Zhou.
She smiled back.
But the little boy reads the book......
It turned out to be "The Rabble".
She really doubted that the little boy could read it.
"Have you ever been on a train before?" Ji An finally took his eyes back and began to chat with her without a word.
"No, it's my first time on a train." Jiang Zhou took out the mysterious key in his bag, rubbed it, and put it down again without any clue.
"How does it feel?" He did ask casually.
Jiang Zhou made a gesture to block his ears: "It's not good." That's a long way. It's also a bit noisy. β
"I forgot you're sensitive to hearing. Has it always been like this? Or after the accident? Ji An asked.
"I used to run in bars, nightclubs, discotheques, and I didn't think it was any good. Later," Jiang Zhou exhaled deeply, "I lost interest all of a sudden, and I was either locked up at home or soaked in the library, and I wanted to curse if my voice was a little louder." β
Then I panicked, and over time I became even more irritable. In fact, after coming to Yishan, probably because the air is too fresh, the landscape is too good, and the whole person is a lot calmer. β
"Yishan is a place that really raises people." Ji An said.
He also settled down slowly, and in the past, he was also young and frivolous and impetuous.
At the time of the accident, he had been smoking, drinking, and getting drunk all day long, and all the things he didn't touch before were contaminated.
"Do you know what our current state is called in my finger-a-knowing Shanghainese dialect?" Jiang Zhou took a sip of his drink.
"Gasan Lake."
This sentence was not said by Jiang Zhou, but the little boy who was watching science fiction opposite.
"That's right, it's Gasanhu. The meaning of chatting. Jiang Zhou looked like the little boy opposite, still concentrating on reading, as if he didn't say what he said just now.
It was the second uncle who smiled and said, "We are also from Shanghai." β
I see.
"In this way, it turned out to be a fellow." Jiang Zhou said.
"Hello, my name is Chen Mo, he is my nephew, called Shanglu."
Silent?
Hit the road?
She remembers that in Shanghainese, going on the road means to describe a person who is very generous and reliable.
"I'm Jiang Zhou."
"Ji An."
After some conversation, I learned that they were also going to Qingcheng, which means that they would get off the train together.
"You're going to Qingcheng too?" Chen Zui asked in surprise.
"yes." She turned her eyes to the little boy who was more "silent" than his second uncle.
"How old is this business kid?" She was very curious.
"He's twelve years old, and he's not very talkative." Chen Mo rubbed the little boy's hair.
"I'm only twelve years old to read such esoteric books." Jiang Zhou sighed.
"Oh, the book is mine, and he's watching and playing." Chen Mo explained.
This explanation is reasonable, and the twelve-year-old boy should not know what "rabble" means.
"I'll go to the bathroom." Ji An got up.
"Okay." Jiang Zhou replied.
She continued to chat with Chen Mo, it was too boring, and she didn't want to sleep: "It's time to go to school now, are the children already on vacation?" β
Chen Mo smiled: "No, it's my second uncle who took him to skip class." β
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the carriage, followed by the sound of swearing.
Then many of the passengers around stood up and walked towards the source of the sound.
"A rabble." The little boy put down the book and spoke.
While Jiang Zhou was surprised, he couldn't help but follow the prestige.
"It's not good to take other people's things." Chen Mo grabbed a person's hand in the chaos.
Jiang Zhou turned her head, only to find that the hand was actually holding her bag, and she didn't know it.
It was encountered by a thief.
Chen Mo dragged the man hard and pulled him out of the crowd directly.
It's a dark-looking young man with glasses.
He still wanted to run away and struggled all the time.
At this time, Ji An happened to come out of the road from the bathroom: "What's wrong?" β
He recognized the bag in the thief's hand.
The big hand directly pinched the thief's shoulder: "Want to run?" β
The thief hunched his back in pain, and shouted, "What are you doing!" Do! β
"Do you still want to deny the stolen goods?" Jiang Zhou asked sharply, "Flight attendant! There's a thief here. β
"There are thieves?" The passengers all heard Jiang Zhou's voice and began to talk about it.
"How can there be a thief?"
"How dare you steal in broad daylight?"
"Oh my God! My phone is gone! β
"Where's my wallet?!"
Not only was Jiang Zhou's backpack almost stolen, but several passengers had already lost their belongings.
Ji An said in a calm voice: "A gang committed a crime? β
"You deliberately created the chaos over there." Chen Mo also said.
Seeing this, the conductor quickly notified the conductor.
The thief blushed and didn't speak, but nine times out of ten that's what happened.
Create a commotion and take advantage of the opportunity to steal when the crowd is chaotic.
"Calm down, passengers!" The flight attendant shouted.
At this time, a silver light flashed, and a black shadow appeared out of nowhere around him, and a shiny knife stabbed straight behind Ji An.
Seeing this, Chen Mo immediately raised his foot and kicked over, the man's wrist was kicked hard, the knife fell, and he retreated in pain.
Ji An knocked down the glasses thief in front of him as quickly as he could, Chen Mo's hand was free, and he also stood up and took off to pounce on the man with the knife behind him.
The female flight attendant was so frightened that she stepped back one after another, and a scream came out from among the passengers who had gradually calmed down, alarming the people in the other carriage.
"Be honest!"
The two men continued to struggle.
There were several tall male passengers, who also spontaneously stood up and helped Ji An and Chen Mo restrain the thief.
"Are there any other comrades?" Jiang Zhou stepped forward.
The thief turned his face away.
Jiang Zhou propped up his elbow and struck the man the back.
"Nope! Without! The man's face turned red instantly, and he cried out in pain, begging for mercy again and again.
Turning his head, the passengers in a carriage all poked their heads to look at the situation at this time, and there was only one bald head, probing their brains, looking panicked.
A look at each other, and the man turned his head instantly.
Jiang Zhou walked forward quickly: "Stop for me!" β
The man pulled his leg and ran.
"Catch the thief! He's an accomplice! β
I don't know who tripped over him, but the man was unguarded and fell and ate.
A group of male passengers joined forces to subdue him.
The male flight attendant found a few bundles of rope out of nowhere, called for help from several male passengers, and tied up the three thieves together.
There was a round of applause in the carriage.
After a careful search, several of the passengers' missing mobile phones and wallets were found on their bodies and in their backpacks.
And so it ended.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Jiang Zhou stretched out his hand.
"You're welcome. It's not my fault alone. Mr. Ji's skills are also good. Chen Mo also stretched out his hand.
"His muscles are not white, but Mr. Chen, I can't see it." Jiang Zhou took the opportunity to ridicule Ji An.
"My second uncle is a retired soldier." The business road children on the side spoke.
In that scene just now, he, a twelve-year-old child, did not panic at all, but just watched coldly the whole time.
"Veterans? No wonder. Ji An said.
"I didn't expect this to happen to me the first time I took the train, and it reminded me of a movie." Jiang Zhou said.
"There are no thieves in the world." The children of the trade road blocked their faces with books.
Jiang Zhou leaned forward, and the opposite side of her happened to be the business route.
"Business friends, you know a lot of things."
In the face of the commotion and watching the lively crowd just now, he said "rabble", and Jiang Zhou heard it very clearly.
This little boy has a sensitivity and maturity beyond ordinary children.
"Kid, I'll guess a riddle for you." Jiang Zhou said.
Ji An glanced at her.
"You say." Shang Lu really put down the book, and his childish voice was extremely serious.
"In the Kallomburg Palace, Denmark
The Great Warrior of Sleep
Welcome the blessing of the six fairies
He will be revived again
Open the eyes of compassion
Armed with a sword that never blades
Defend the glory of the cross," Jiang Zhou read out the poem.
"Second uncle, please give me a piece of paper and a pen." He asked Chen Mo very politely.
"Okay." Chen Mo took out the banknotes from his backpack and gave them to him.
"Sister, can you say it again?" He looked up and asked Jiang Zhou.
Jiang Zhou repeated the poem again, finished one sentence, and waited for him to finish writing, and then continued to say another sentence.
After memorizing the whole poem, Shang Lu began to think in a good way, Jiang Zhou didn't expect him to be able to say the answer, he just wanted to stump this cool child.
He fell into thought, and Jiang Zhou didn't know what to do all of a sudden.
Some of the passengers next to him were drinking beer and nibbling on chicken feet, some were playing poker, and some were chatting with melon seeds.
"I'll go for a walk." She said to Ji An.
"Don't go too far." He admonished.
"I'm smoking a cigarette in the middle of these two carriages." Jiang Zhou said.
Before she left, she asked Zhou Yingguang again to take a few packets of agarwood.
This area was the coolest, and the wind blew the corners of her clothes.
She leaned to the side, cigarette after cigarette in her hand.
There is some inexplicable irritability in my heart, that kind of vanity, I can't put it into words.
Her thoughts drifted when she suddenly saw a monk walk by.
