Chapter 222: The Railroad Break (Two Chapters in One)
"Alas, Chen Yuwei hasn't come to school this semester, and I don't know how the eldest brother and sister-in-law are doing in Dongning?"
Chen Shouyi was silent while eating.
"Do you want to go back to Dongning to have a look?" Chen Mu paused when she heard the action of picking up vegetables, and said.
"With this plan, if you don't go back to Dongning, you will be a little uneasy after all!" Chen Dawei said with a sigh.
"Now that the war is in chaos, I don't know what the situation is over there?" said Chen's mother with a worried face.
"Dad, Mom, I'll go for a trip!" Chen Shouyi knew that he couldn't be silent anymore, swallowed his food, and said, "Anyway, I should be fine these days!"
Chen Dawei's face hesitated, thinking about the strength of his son's great martial artist, he could rest assured, nodded, and said: "It's okay, then you can go for a trip, pay attention to safety when the time comes, if Dongning is too chaotic, take the uncle's family over, anyway, the house is big enough to live." ”
"Brother, I'm going too!" Chen Xingyue hurriedly said, she has the best relationship with her cousin, and her uncle and aunt also love her the most, unlike Chen Shouyi, who has been like a child since she was a child.
Without waiting for Chen Shouyi to refuse, Chen's mother reprimanded: "What are you going to do, stay at home honestly." ”
"Oh!" Chen Xingyue replied with a frustrated expression.
I sighed secretly in my heart, if I don't become a martial artist again, I will have no human rights at home!
In the past, my mother reprimanded my brother, but since my brother became a martial artist, feng shui took turns, and he began to change to himself.
When will I become a warrior?
Chen Xingyue couldn't help but glance at Chen Shouyi, who was eating, and felt that her wrist seemed to be getting more and more sore.
......
Chen Shouyi had dinner, returned to the bedroom, sat down on the bed, and groaned secretly in his heart.
"Judging from the situation when I came back last time, the surrounding environment of Dongning is not better than Hedong City, or even worse, it happens to be connected to the territory of the God of Hunting, and I don't know what the situation is now!"
Now that the communication is interrupted, some bad news is also deliberately blocked, and it can be said that outside Hedong City, he has no idea about the situation in the outside world.
"However, with his own strength, as long as he doesn't encounter a particularly powerful existence and is cautious, there shouldn't be any danger. He said to himself.
He sat for a moment, released the Shell Girl from her briefcase, teased it for a while, then picked up his sword and began to practice.
......
Early the next morning, Chen Shouyi felt that his body had completely recovered and won the victory, his body was full of qi and blood, his strength was overflowing, and he no longer felt the slightest weakness.
He practiced the 36 Horizontal Postures several times, took a shower, and began to pack his luggage.
In fact, there is nothing to pack, in addition to weapons and money, it is all kinds of documents and a change of clothes, this time to Dongning, it will take at least more than a day to go back and forth, if you are unlucky enough to encounter some accidents, three or four days are possible.
......
"Come back early and stay safe. Chen's mother admonished.
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad still have Xingyue, I'm leaving!" Chen Shouyi said, then hung his briefcase and sword on the handlebars and pushed out the bicycle.
The train station was still far away, and he had to ride his bicycle to get there.
Although buses have been opened on some major routes in Hedong City, and of course there are steam buses leading to the railway station in the safety zone, not only are the number of trains per day limited, but if you are unlucky, you often have to wait for a long time, and the speed is not as fast as his bicycle.
......
Since the last barbarian invasion, the city of Hedong has become much more depressed.
Along the way, the streets are sparsely populated, and the shops on both sides are almost closed.
The glass in many office buildings has been shattered and no one has repaired it.
As far as the eye can see, the whole urban area is a dilapidated scene, no longer glamorous and gorgeous, giving people a sense of depression.
About an hour later, Chen Shouyi got off the train at the train station and locked the car in the parking lot.
"Two dollars for the management fee. An older administrator with a red armband came over and said, "Five pieces for the night!"
Chen Shouyi took out his wallet and took out a ten-yuan piece: "What if it stops for a few days?"
"When the time comes, when I come back, look at the number of days, and increase it by two dollars a day. The administrator said.
"Okay!"
Chen Shouyi handed over the money, took the change, and then walked into the station ticket office, although it was only seven o'clock in the morning, but there were already people everywhere, Chen Shouyi lined up for a long time, and it was his turn:
"One in Dongning City!"
"Dongning, Dongning is no longer available?" said the young conductor without raising his head.
"No, why not?" Chen Shouyi chuckled in his heart and hurriedly asked.
"This is the notice above, how do I know ......" The conductor raised his head a little impatiently, and when he saw Chen Shouyi's handsome face, his tone suddenly lowered a few degrees, and an amiable smile appeared on his impatient face, and he smiled: "May I ask sir, what other services do you need?"
Asking the conductor couldn't ask anything, Chen Shouyi hesitated, retreated and said, "Is there a station closer to Dongning?"
"Please wait, I'll check, there are still tickets at Dongxing Station!"
"Then give me one!" Chen Shouyi said.
"Hard seat, half past ten, eighty-five yuan!"
This price is more expensive than the original high-speed rail, Chen Shouyi paid the money, and walked through the ticket hall with heavy steps, his face was a little dignified.
"The Dongning Railway is no longer passable, is it that it has already fallen. ”
He couldn't help but be a little worried about the situation of the uncle's family.
......
It was still early before the time to get on the train, Chen Shouyi walked out of the station, ready to find a place to have breakfast first.
Railway stations have always been mixed, especially now that most people are living in a difficult situation, and law and order has deteriorated.
A long-haired young man with a flowing appearance passed by him.
Chen Shouyi's face turned cold, and his hand quickly grabbed his wrist:
"It hurts, it hurts, don't, don't, let it go...... Dude, I was wrong!" The long-haired young man's face turned pale, his body arched in pain, and he felt that the hand that grabbed his wrist was like an iron hoop, as if it was about to be pinched by the other party, and he suddenly knew that he had hit a hard stubble.
Chen Shouyi reached out and retrieved his wallet from his hand, and then let go of his hand.
"Dude, you don't have much to lose......
Chen Shouyi said coldly: "Get out!"
The long-haired young man immediately fled in a gloomy manner, not daring to say a cruel word at all, although the other party looked young, but the indifferent expression, even if he was an old oilman, he felt frightened, this kind of character was definitely killed.
Chen Shouyi watched the thief leave, put his wallet back in his trouser pocket, and walked briskly to the breakfast shop outside.
......
"Sneer......"
An old-fashioned steam train, spewing white gas like a steel beast, slowly drove into the platform, slower and slower, and finally slowly stopped.
When the doors opened, a group of people lined up to board the train one by one.
"Please show your ID!" said a police officer, looking at the sword in the hand of a young man.
Chen Shouyi took out the martial arts card, and after the police took it, he took a closer look, and immediately saluted and returned the certificate.
The carriage was sparsely populated, less than half of the seats were seated, and there was a strange and indescribable smell inside, looking down at the metal pattern ground that was almost smoothed out beneath his feet.
This green train is definitely older than him.
He found his seat, put his backpack with his bow and clothes in the luggage rack, and sat down with his briefcase.
The two young girls who were chatting heard the movement and looked up at him, their faces couldn't help but blush, and their voices were much quieter.
The younger of the two is only about the age of Chen Xingyue, and the eldest is twenty-one or twelve years old, and the two have some similar appearances, they should be two sisters.
Chen Shouyi noticed that his sister was carrying a sword by her side, and there were calluses on the palms of her hands, obviously she was not a martial arts apprentice, or a martial artist, of course, it was not this kind of identity, and she couldn't bring a sword on the train.
"You also learn martial arts?" asked the older sister who was obviously much bolder.
"Uh, yes!" Chen Shouyi said, "Where are you going?"
"Dongxing, handsome guy, what about you?"
"I'm also going to Dongxing!"
"Little brother, are you also from Dongxing?" The younger sister suddenly asked in a coquettish voice, "Like my sister, did you come to participate in the martial arts assessment?"
"Ah, no! I live in Hedong, go to Dongxing to do some things, have you passed the assessment?" Chen Shouyi replied politely.
"Of course, my sister is a genius, and she passed it once, which is very powerful. My sister said proudly, obviously admiring her sister.
Look at someone else's sister!
Chen Shouyi was a little envious, how could he be like his sister, he thought about watching his brother be unlucky and scolded all day long.
"That's really powerful!" Chen Shouyi echoed without sincerity.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, there are many geniuses in this world, I heard those who have taken the exam before said that this assessment has relaxed the requirements, it is much simpler, and the pass rate has reached 60%. My sister said with a look of surprise.
At this time, Chen Shouyi's heart moved, and he suddenly asked, "Do you know what happened in Dongning?"
Dongning and Dongxing are very close to each other, living next to each other, and the distance is only forty or fifty kilometers.
"Dongning!" my sister came back to her senses: "It's already messed up there, I've heard that there are cultists everywhere, and even the railroad tracks and highways have been picked up by those people!"
"Didn't the army take care of it?" Chen Shouyi wondered.
"I've heard that I've fought a few times, but eventually I quit the city. My sister said.
Chen Shouyi was so confused that he could make the army withdraw, and it was obvious that Dongning had completely fallen.
He clenched his fist vigorously and released it gently.
"Woo......"
At this moment, a long whistle sounded, and the train gradually started.
Chen Shouyi chatted with the two girls for a while, then stopped talking, looked out the window, and the scenery slowly regressed.
In the distance is a continuous industrial area, with countless chimneys spewing billowing smoke, and the trees on the roadside are stained with a layer of gray-black dust, and the original green is almost invisible.
Under the thick fog, several swallows were chasing each other, flying through the air.
Chen Shouyi retracted his gaze, feeling that his mood gradually calmed down, no matter how dangerous Dongning was, since he had already come, he still had to go after all, at least to determine whether the uncle's family was alive or dead.
"Is there a need for a hot boxed lunch, is there a need for a boxed lunch that has just come out of the pot?" the train's salesman walked over pushing the cart and shouting.
"What's the box lunch?" Chen Shouyi called the sales truck, the old-fashioned train is very slow, and it takes at least four hours to sit at Dongxing Station, and it will be two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and the meal will be early.
"Chicken thigh rice, duck leg rice, pork rib rice, potato and beef brisket rice, which one do you want? ”
"Let's have potato and beef brisket rice!give me six boxes!" Chen Shouyi said that Chen Shouyi glanced at the two sisters opposite who looked surprised and confused, and continued: "No, eight boxes, how much?"
"Four hundred and eighty pieces in total!"
It's really expensive, it's all caught up with the prices in Hedong City before.
"Bring me three more bottles of water!"
"Four hundred and ninety-five pieces in total!"
After Chen Shouyi paid the money, the salesman put the lunch box on the small table in front of him one by one, the box of the lunch box was metal, and a square cover was added to it, which was no longer the previous disposable lunch box.
"I didn't ask you what you like to eat, I don't know if it suits the taste?" Chen Shouyi handed over two boxes of lunch boxes and two bottles of water.
The two sisters let out an "ah", and their faces turned red:
"We brought snacks. My sister said.
"I bought it for you anyway, so I can't throw it away. Chen Shouyi persuaded.
"Well, thank you!"
"Thank you!"
The two sisters thanked each other, and the elder sister was generous.
My sister is like a mosquito.
Chen Shouyi didn't care about them, he concentrated on eating, and finished one box in a minute or two, then the second box, and then the third box...... The sixth box.
Wait for Chen Shouyi to unscrew the mineral water bottle and drink the water.
The two sisters were still eating in small bites, quietly exchanging each other's opinions with their eyes from time to time.
At this time, the two sisters were confused.
I really ate them all!
Eaten!
Although they knew that the man had bought such a box of lunches, they must have eaten them, but they didn't expect to eat them all, and they ate them so quickly, as if they could still eat a few boxes.
I really don't know how his stomach can hold so many things.
The train moved slowly, Chen Shouyi gently opened the zipper of the briefcase, glanced at the sleeping shell girl, and began to close her eyes to recuperate, and soon fell asleep.
......
"Hello passengers, the front stop is Dongxing East Station, there are passengers who want to get off the train, please pack your luggage and packages in advance, and prepare to get off the train. ”
A flight attendant walked into the carriage and, as he walked, said loudly, and soon went to another compartment.
Chen Shouyi opened his eyes and looked at his newly bought watch.
It was almost three o'clock in the morning.
He continued to sit for another ten minutes, and the car began to stop slowly, and he took his luggage and followed the two sisters out of the train.
......
"Goodbye then!" Walking out of the train station, Chen Shouyi waved goodbye.
The two sisters looked at Chen Shouyi's distant figure, and the younger sister suddenly said, "He must be better than you." ”
"Why?" said my sister a little unconvinced.
"He eats more than you, he must be better than you, and he is not surprised to hear me say that you have passed the martial arts assessment!"
"It seems so. Alas, I haven't asked him what his name is, but since he is in Hedong City, he should be able to meet him again in the future. ”
PS: I will try to have two chapters in the future.
