Chapter 22: A Visit to the Stationmaster
Yueyang Railway Station, like all railway stations in major cities, has a large number of passengers. Since it was now the period of Japanese occupation, the Japanese puppet army and traitor spies were everywhere at the station. A considerable number of the trains to and from the train were military vehicles transporting Japanese troops and wagons carrying military supplies.
Although the Japanese army occupied Yichang, the Yangtze River route from Yichang to Yueyang was under the actual control of the Chinese army, and the Yangtze River shipping from Yueyang to Wuhan was harassed and attacked by various advancing columns and guerrillas day and night, and never completed a successful cargo voyage.
Although there was the Yangtze River, the waterway was not navigable, and the cost and risk of road transportation were high, so the railway inevitably became the most important mode of transportation for the Japanese army between Wuhan and Yueyang. The supplies looted from the vicinity of Yueyang had to be transported back to Wuhan, and the ammunition supplies of the Japanese army in Yueyang had to be transported from Wuhan to this side by rail, and the Yueyang railway station became one of the busiest railway stations, so that the frequency of the Japanese army's military trains far exceeded that of ordinary freight passenger trains. Gao Quan stood on the Yueyang Railway Station and saw a large number of military trains full of military supplies and soldiers.
Lu You led the way in front without a sound, Gao Quan and others followed, and the group walked directly towards a three-story building in the station. According to Lu You, the stationmaster's office is on the third floor of the building, and if you want to find the stationmaster Liu Wenxiu, you have to go up to the three-story building.
In front of the only high-rise building within the Yueyang Railway Station, the density of devils and traitors is significantly higher than in other parts of the railway station. A devil tilted his chin and arrogantly watched a few station workers pushing carts and carrying sacks pass in front of him. Contrasting with the devil is the wolf dog squatting in front of his feet. The devil pursed the corners of his mouth, the wolf dog stuck out his tongue, one person and one dog, looking at these laborers living at the bottom of society, his face was full of indescribable expressions of superiority and disgust, as if these people had polluted the visual environment from the moment they passed, and the devil even held a white handkerchief and covered his nose.
"Hey, stop! What are you guys doing? Seeing that he was in front of the three-story building, a devil reached out and stopped Lu You, who was about to go upstairs, and Gao Quan and his party behind him.
"Hehe, Taijun, we came to find Stationmaster Liu Wenxiu for something." Lu You nodded to the devil and explained with a smile, he wasn't so afraid of this devil, first, he really knew Liu Wenxiu, and second, he didn't follow Gao Quan behind him! Until now, Lu You still thought that Gao Quan was a Japanese spy, and since he was followed by a young man from a Japanese secret service, how could he be afraid of a grassroots devil officer standing guard on duty at the train station?
"Looking for Stationmaster Liu?" The devil looked Lu You up and down in surprise, and then looked at Gao Quan, Liu Qi and the others who were following behind. may have been intimidated by Lu You's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, the tone of this devil's speech actually eased, "Please show me the certificate of good citizenship, I will check it." "The devil used a word of invitation here.
Fortunately, Gao Quan has already returned the certificate of good citizenship to Lu You, otherwise there would really be a problem at this time. Without much hesitation, Lu You took out the certificate of good citizenship and handed it to this devil, in this environment, it was obviously wise to cooperate with the devil's inspection. The devil took the certificate of good citizenship and looked carefully, and the big wolf dog in the underground tilted his head to look at Lu You, as if he was looking for where to put his mouth more appropriately, and he could see that the hairs on Lu You's body stood up.
"Yo Xi, it's Mr. Lu You, it's rude. Please put away the certificate of good citizenship, Stationmaster Liu is in the second room on the left hand on the third floor. After reading it, the devil handed back the certificate of good citizenship to Lu You with both hands, and nodded in salute.
Lu You also nodded to the devil, beckoned back, and walked upstairs with Gao Quan and the others. There are not many people who follow Gao Quan this time, except for Hong Yingying, there are only Biao Zi and Liu Qi, celebrities like Lu You, it is normal for them to come out with four entourages behind them, and the devil just looked at Gao Quan and turned his eyes elsewhere. The big wolf dog in front of the devil kept staring at Gao Quan and went upstairs, probably because Gao Quan had killed too many devils and eaten a lot of dog meat, and the big wolf dog may have smelled some dangerous smells from Gao's whole body.
According to the instructions of the devil downstairs, I went up to the third floor, and went to the door of the second room on the left, and there was a sign next to the door, with three words on it, "Stationmaster's Room". "Dangdangdang" Lu You raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Who?" A woman's voice came from the door, and then the door was opened from the inside, revealing a petite woman in a cheongsam from the door, looking at Lu You and Gao Quan behind him in surprise, "Mr. Lu!" A smile of surprise appeared on the woman's face, obviously she knew Lu You.
"Miss An, why are you here?" Lu You was even more surprised than the woman, he didn't expect to meet this woman surnamed An here.
"Mr. Lu can come, why can't I? Hee-hee, by the way, how about Cuihua being a tutor for a few of your children? "This Miss An actually knows even Wang Cuihua! Gao Quan was immediately interested in the identity of this woman.
"You said Miss Wang, she went out yesterday afternoon without saying hello, and she hasn't seen anyone until now, and she doesn't know where she went." Speaking of Wang Cuihua, Lu You's expression was a little depressed, maybe Wang Cuihua has never left without saying hello, right?
"She went out without saying hello?" Miss An's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Who's at the door?" A man's voice came from the room asking questions. The two of them blocked the door and kept talking, no wonder the people in the room would ask questions, and everyone would ask.
"It's me, Wenxiu. I'm Lu You. Lu You at the door hurriedly answered loudly, and Miss An, who was blocking the door, stepped aside and made way to enter the door.
"It's Lu You! Oh, that's a rarity! How did you have time to come here to find me? A middle-aged man in uniform came out from inside, holding Lu You's hand and shaking it up and down for a while, his mouth kept saying greetings, and the joy on his face was not pretended, obviously this person was really happy to see Lu You.
"Haha, after Wenxiu's career, this is the first time Lu You has come to visit your place of work, and if you can have a railway station master as a friend, Lu You also has a bright face!" Liu Wenxiu's enthusiasm made Lu You very happy. He came to visit, and the family treated each other with affection, which is called face!
"When my classmates come to visit, what else do you take? It's so out-of-the-box! "This is still a kind word, in those days, it was not fun to go to a friend's house empty-handed, and you had to bring something with you. Lu You's family is honest, he came to visit his old classmates, and he still found someone to do something, and the gifts he brought were of course worth a lot. However, Liu Wenxiu obviously attaches more importance to the relationship between classmates, so he took the gift and put it aside without taking a second look, and directly put Lu You on the chair, "Come on, please sit down, come on, please sit down." Lu You, who are these people? ”
