There were no lights in the car, only the red glow of the red coals that vibrated and fell from under the hearth of the stove, reflecting everyone's faces. Zuo Jiang's hand was already warm at this time, the heat of the stove was getting higher and higher, he was a little farther away from the stove, and the elder of the operation car took off his fur coat and put it under his chair, signaled the light with his hand, and took out the dry tobacco in the instant noodle bag and rolled it up.

Seeing this, Zuo Jiang took out the box of opened Liangyou cigarettes from his pocket and stepped forward and said, "Master Zhang, come, smoke mine, it's a lot of trouble to roll!" As he spoke, he popped out a cigarette and handed it over.

Captain Zhang put the half-rolled dry tobacco on the small table in front of him, stretched out his hand to take Zuo Jiang's cigarette and said, "It's not troublesome, sitting anyway, rolling cigarettes should be used to kill time." "Captain Zhang's family runs a small shop, every time the person in the car gives him a whole box of cigarettes, he is reluctant to smoke, he takes it back and sells it, Zuo Jiang gave him two boxes of Liangyou cigarettes he refused to smoke, but he didn't think that Zuo Jiang still had an open bag in his pocket.

Zuo Jiang lit one for Captain Zhang, and saw that there were three men sitting in the car, so he went to give them cigarettes, and the three men saw that Zuo Jiang gave them a cigarette and quickly took it and said thank you, Zuo Jiang glanced at a few women again, there are not a few women in the Northeast who can smoke, as the saying goes, don't leave one behind in a circle, so Zuo Jiang took the cigarette to pay tribute to those women, and several women said that they would not smoke Thank you Yunyun, among them, there was a woman in her 40s who looked more dignified and took Zuo Jiang's cigarette, He took a match from his pocket and lit a fire.

Captain Zhang looked at Zuo Jiang's flesh ache every time he fired a cigarette, and thought to himself that this kid was really a loser, 1 corner 5 a, so he gave it to someone he didn't know, alas! How nice it is to give it all to me! Zuo Jiang didn't know what Captain Zhang was thinking, he thought about everyone smoking mainly because everyone was sitting in the car together, sending a cigarette to talk and make a mix, besides, Zuo Jiang didn't want to smoke at all after he was reborn, and the art of smoking cigarettes was not good for the body at all, so it was a pity to throw it away and smoke it for everyone.

After handing out a circle of cigarettes, Zuo Jiang put the cigarette case on the small table in front of Captain Zhang: "Master Zhang, I don't know how to smoke, I just smoke a cigarette, there are a few left, if you don't dislike it, keep it!" ”

Captain Zhang said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, you just put it in it" Thinking to myself, how could I dislike such a good cigarette, and hurriedly reached out and put the cigarette into the pocket of his jacket, afraid that others would come to grab it.

The middle-aged woman who was smoking saw that Zuo Jiang had no place to sit and stood all the time, so she greeted Zuo Jiang and said: "Young man, it's still far from Fengyang, you have to take a car all night, how tired you are always standing, the piece of paper I brought is big, come and squeeze and sit down!" As she spoke, she asked the girl sitting next to her to move in and make way for Zuo Jiang to sit.

Zuo Jiang's legs were indeed a little sore after standing for so long, and when he saw that the middle-aged woman kindly gave up a place for herself, she walked over and said, "Thank you, auntie!" Then he sat down next to her, arched his legs and relaxed.

The middle-aged woman was in a good mood when she saw that Zuo Jiang was so polite, so she asked Zuo Jiang, "Young man, go to Fengyang alone?" What are you going to do? ”

Zuo Jiang said: "Yes, my grandmother who lives in Fengyang is sick, my parents have something to do today and can't leave, so let me go to see first, there is no bus to Fengyang this night, I have to take a truck to rush over first." Of course, Zuo Jiang would not tell her the truth, and made up reasons indiscriminately.

The middle-aged woman said, "What disease does your grandmother have, is it serious?" ”

Zuo Jiang said: "It's not serious, it's just a cold, grandma is old and her health is not good, and she has to be hospitalized for treatment when she catches a cold." ”

The middle-aged woman was obviously very talkative, and she asked again: "Young man, you must still be in school at your age, are you good at studying?" ”

Zuo Jiang said: "Yes, I am in the third year of junior high school now, and I will go to high school during the Chinese New Year, so I can study!" ”

The middle-aged woman sighed when she heard this and said, "Alas! Studying is better than anything, that girl like me, I didn't get into high school, so I had to sell clothes with me! ”

The daughter sitting on the other side was reluctant to hear this, she turned her arm around her mother and said, "Mom, you are nagging about you, why do you always talk about me!" ”

At noon, the woman was choked by her daughter, and her face was a little unbearable, so she blackened her face and reprimanded her daughter: "Say what's wrong with you, I said that others can't say it, you are afraid of what people say, if you are afraid of people, you will be admitted to high school for me. ”

The daughter was trained by her mother to stop moving, and after a while she covered her face and cried. Zuo Jiang is not sitting or standing, and I don't know what to do for a while. At this time, the train happened to pass through a small station, and the elder of the running car, Zhang, walked out of the station with a signal light, waited on the passing platform outside and waited with the station attendant, Zuo Jiang took the opportunity to stand up and walked out, and stood beside Captain Zhang.

When Captain Zhang saw Zuo Jiang coming out, he hurriedly said: "Young man, go into the guard car, don't you give me eye medicine, and tell the station attendant to see me in the guard car and take people!" However, because of Zuo Jiang's generosity, his attitude towards Zuo Jiang at this time was not bad.

Zuo Jiang had to turn around and walk into the guard, standing in front of the window and looking out, after a while, the guard car passed in front of the station duty room, and the station duty who picked up the car drew a circle with a white light to the running captain standing in the guard, indicating that it was safe and sound, and Captain Zhang also returned to a circle to say that it was safe and sound, and turned around and walked into the guard.

As soon as Captain Zhang entered the guard, he saw Zuo Jiang standing in front of the window and looking out, thinking that he was curious, so he said to him: "Young man, if you want to see what it's like outside, you can, but you must not go out when passing through the station. ”

Zuo Jiang said: "Master Zhang, I don't know, I will not go out when I get to the station." ”

Captain Zhang nodded when he saw that Zuo Jiang was very obedient: "When you go out, you must hold the guardrail and pay attention to safety!" With that, he went back to his seat and sat down, then took out a good friend cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked it beautifully.

When the middle-aged woman saw Zuo Jiang standing in front of the car window, she greeted him and said, "Young man, what are you doing standing, come and sit quickly, my girl is like that, it's none of your business." ”

Zuo Jiang thought that it was none of my business, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Auntie, I just want to see what the small station outside looks like, it's okay." With that, he walked back and sat down again.

A middle-aged man sitting next to the stove has been helping Captain Zhang to serve the stove, adding coal, passing the stove, and picking up ashes are all under his control, it seems that he is quite good at serving the stove, the chimney of the train runs up with a lot of suction force, plus the Datong block of coal is very easy to burn, the furnace is very strong, the stove and the furnace barrel made of pig iron are burning red at this time, and the heat wave in the guard car hits people.

The 2302 freight train is a section of the train, that is, the railway often says direct cargo, from Songjiang to Fengyang all the way without throwing the operation, the arrival of the goods pulled on the car is far away from Fengyang, so along the way, if it is not the general station of the car, it is passed, but sometimes the car may stop for dozens of minutes or more than an hour.

2302 times drove for more than 2 hours to stop a stop, and people stopped for more than 10 minutes, will continue to run after a bus, at this time Captain Zhang's radio station came from the driver's voice calling Qingyuan Station, and then Qingyuan Station had an echo, telling the driver Qingyuan Station 2 passes.

After hearing the news of the passing of the train, Captain Zhang took out a train marshalling sequence table from the logbook, folded it into a thick strip, picked out a piece of slag from the ashes, tied the strip with the slag with a thin rope, and threw it to the station when it was ready to pass. Qingyuan Station is the boundary station of Songjiang Railway Bureau and Fengyang Railway Bureau, and Qingyuan Station is the boundary of Fengyang Railway Bureau, and the station should be reported to the train dispatcher and Fengyang Station after receiving the marshalling sequence table of the 2302 train, so that they can grasp the marshalling information of the train in time, grasp the direction of the traffic flow and make a plan for the dismantling of the train in advance.

The train passed through Qingyuan Station, and after Captain Zhang threw down the train marshalling sequence list, he returned to the guard car and turned down the sound of the radio station, then put his feet on the small table in front of him, moved his body to find a comfortable lying position, closed his eyes and began to get confused. As soon as Qingyuan Station passed out of the jurisdiction of the Songjiang Railway Bureau, there was no inspection team of the Songjiang Railway Bureau, no one cared about Captain Zhang, naturally he wanted to sleep, and the crew was very vividly compared to this entering the liberated area.

At this time, it was already more than 11 o'clock in the evening, and the people sitting in the guard car basically fell asleep, and Captain Zhang slept very well, and fell asleep after lying on the chair for a while, and even snored, and the purring was very loud.

With the passage of time minute by minute and second, Zuo Jiang was also a little sleepy, but he didn't dare to sleep, he kept his ears listening to the movement of Captain Zhang's radio station, there are a total of 37 stations between Songjiang and Fengyang, Zuo Jiang doesn't know which station is next to which station, and he doesn't know the specific location of Tianmenshan Station, so he can only listen to the information from the radio station, and he is afraid of missing it.

"Is there a 2302 car? Tianmen Mountain Station Call! Is there a 2302 car? Tianmen Mountain Station Call! The 2302nd train Tianmenshan Station stops at 3 lanes! Finally, the sound of a call from Tianmen Mountain Station came from the radio station. However, I called twice in a row and did not hear an answer from the driver. Zuo Jiang's heart couldn't help but sink! The driver may be asleep, and it seems that the "12, 11" major accident in history is indeed today.
