Bloody Cases in Mountain Villages, Train Murders Chapter 25 On the Train
In life, the most beautiful encounter is reunion, and the saddest thing is parting. In our lives, how many times have we reunited, and how many times have we parted, we always choose between reunion and parting. Sometimes, reunion is about parting again, and parting is about a better reunion.
Life, whether reunion or parting, every life needs to be experienced, a reunion is a reunion, bringing a laugh, leaving thoughts. A parting may be a kind of sadness, it is sad; Maybe it's the beginning of the next reunion, an expectation, and a happiness.
There is no direct train from Zhuxi County to S City, Xu Lang and they need to transfer from Zhuxi County to Eyan City first, where to take the train to reach S City.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed, which means the beginning of the new year, many people who have come back from working in other places, once again take the car, say goodbye to their wives and children and parents and leave their hometowns, and carry out the work of the new year, in the station, Xu Lang and the three of them saw a moving parting scene, Lu Xing and Zhang Lei, are both optimistic people, he doesn't care much about these partings, and Xu Lang has been in a foreign land for several years, this time, he is going to return to his hometown with Xiao Yueyue, so, Xu Lang's face didn't have much expression.
Only the young Xiao Yueyue, at the moment she left home, her mood was not very high, her little hand tightly grasped Xu Lang's palm, snuggled up to Xu Lang's side, and watched the scenes of parting, which made the little girl who was already afraid of parting and leaving this small county more and more silent.
Xu Lang and they bought the first bus from Zhuxi County to Eyan City, it takes four hours to drive from Zhuxi County to Eyan City, Xiao Yueyue and Xu Lang sat together, and Lu Xing sat in front of Xu Lang, Xiao Yueyue from the car, she lay on Xu Lang's lap and began to sleep, completely lost her previous lively appearance, which made Xu Lang's mood very heavy, he was very worried that Xiao Yueyue would think more about this parting, but Xu Lang also knew that Xiao Yueyue would have to experience the parting sooner or later, Xu Lang didn't know how to persuade Xiao Yueyue, and besides, Xiao Yueyue neither cried nor made trouble, she got in the car and started sleeping, and Xu Lang had no way to say anything.
When the car slowly left the bus station, along the national highway on the highway, the people in the car are relatively young men and women, in addition to the reluctance after parting, their eyes are more full of hope for the new year, and it is precisely because of this hope that they are forced to leave their hometown before the end of the new year, go to a foreign land to start the new year's work.
No one wants to part, and these people who are in the same car with Xu Lang and them choose to leave their families, mainly because they want to go out to make money and make their families live better, in fact, everyone is like this, for their livelihood, for their families, for the responsibility on their shoulders, they must give up something, only in this way can they get more things and make their families and themselves live better.
The atmosphere in the car is very quiet, at the beginning, there were still people chatting in the car, but, with the movement of the car, the shaking of the body, these people who chatted at the beginning also began to be silent, most people chose to sleep on the seat, and Lu Xing because he drank too much last night, and got up early today, after he got in the car, he began to fall asleep, only Xu Lang, one hand gently patted Xiao Yueyue's back, turned his head, looked at the scenery outside the window, but his eyes were not focused, I don't know what he was thinking.
At ten o'clock in the morning, they finally came to Eyan City, when the three of them walked out of the bus station, Xu Lang took Xiao Yueyue's hand and asked, "Are you hungry?" Would you like to grab a bite to eat? ”
Xiao Yueyue shook her head in a low mood.
Xu Lang looked at Lu Xing, who was yawning, and asked, "What about you?" ”
Lu Xing also shook his head and said, "My head hurts, I don't have much appetite, and I can't eat." ”
Seeing that neither of them wanted to eat breakfast, Xu Lang took the two of them straight to the train station and bought three tickets.
Actually, Xu Lang wanted to buy a sleeper, but, because it was the peak period for going out to work, Xu Lang and they couldn't buy a ticket for a sleeper, so Xu Lang and they had to take a hard seat for the time being, and after getting on the bus, see if they could make up for three sleeper tickets, Xu Lang and Lu Xing were nothing, but, Xu Lang was worried that Xiao Yueyue would not be able to stand it.
Not long after buying the ticket, Xu Lang and the others got on the train, and after they found their seats, Xiao Yueyue lay on Xu Lang's lap again and began to sleep.
Compared with the quietness of the coach, the train is like a vegetable market, full of people, noisy, and the sound of train salesmen pushing snacks.
"Peanuts, melon seeds, eight-treasure porridge, beer, drinks, mineral water, take a look, let it go."
In addition, there is the small talk between passengers, the crying of children, the shouting of playing cards, and the snoring of those who have fallen asleep with their heads covered.
Lu Xing came by train before, he was used to these for a long time, and he didn't feel sleepy, he sat on the seat in the aisle, bored watching everything that happened in the car, and Xiao Yueyue honestly lay on Xu Lang's lap to sleep, but her body turned from time to time told Xu Lang that in fact, she didn't fall asleep, indeed, the car was so noisy, even if an adult wanted to fall asleep, it was more difficult, let alone Xiao Yueyue.
When Xu Lang got on the bus, he once asked the attendant if there was a spare sleeper, and the answer was naturally no, Xu Lang asked the attendant to help him pay attention to it, if there was a spare sleeper, he would tell himself and make up the ticket by himself, so Xu Lang was helpless about Xiao Yueyue's current situation.
Take a train from Eyan City to S City, you need to take a train for more than 30 hours, if you take a hard seat, don't say that Xiao Yueyue can't stand it, Lu Xing is a little unbearable, but, fortunately, after the train opened two stations, the attendant came to tell Xu Lang that there is now a spare sleeper on the car, and asked Xu Lang if he wanted to make up the ticket.
Xu Lang naturally did not hesitate at that time, and immediately paid for the ticket, and the three of them came to the sleeper box from the hard-seat carriage.
The sleeper of the three people happened to be in a box, when Xu Lang and they came in, they found that there were two people lying on the lower bunks on both sides of the box, and there was also a person lying on the upper bunk on the left, a man and two women, the man was the man on the right side of the door, the man was shrunk in the quilt, so that people could not see his face clearly, if it weren't for the pair of forty-two size leather shoes in front of him, and the foot with a hole in it was exposed, Xu Lang was really not sure whether the other party was a man or a woman.
On the left lower bunk lay a woman in her twenties, to be precise, the woman was half-lying on the lower bunk, when Xu Lang and they came in, the woman was looking down and playing with her mobile phone, not noticing Xu Lang and them.
On the left side of the upper bunk is also a woman, the space of the upper bunk is very narrow, the woman is covered with a quilt, facing the wall, with her back to Xu Lang and them, for Xu Lang and their arrival, the woman is indifferent, I don't know if she is asleep or what's wrong.
After Xu Lang took off his shoes for the sleepy-eyed Xiao Yueyue, he hugged Xiao Yueyue to the middle bunk on the right, and then, Xu Lang looked at Lu Xing, who put the luggage under the bed, and asked, "Do you choose the upper bunk or the middle bunk?" ”
Lu Xing looked at both sides and said to Xu Lang: "The wine is too strong, I haven't recovered until now, I'll go to the upper bunk to make up for sleep." ”
After saying this, Lu Xing began to take off his shoes, and climbed the upper bunk on Xiao Yueyue along the stairs of the bed.
The young woman sitting below, after hearing the conversation between Xu Lang and Lu Xing, she raised her head and glanced at Xu Lang and them, it seemed that it was not until this time that she noticed Xu Lang and them, the woman's eyes first swept over Lu Xing's body, and then glanced at Xiao Yueyue who was sleeping on the middle bunk, and finally, the woman stayed on Xu Lang's body, to be precise, on Xu Lang's long snow-white hair, the woman showed a surprised expression, and her lips with lipstick grew slightly, obviously, She was a little surprised by Xu Lang's snow-white long hair, but she quickly withdrew her gaze, looked down at her phone, her slender and white fingers were quickly tapping something on the phone screen, but her eyes looked at Xu Lang who was covering Xiao Yueyue with a quilt from time to time.
Xu Lang naturally noticed the woman's gaze, but he didn't say anything, just walked to Xiao Yueyue's side, looked at the little girl, and helped her tidy up her somewhat messy hair.
After doing all this, Xu Lang did not go to the middle bunk above the young woman to rest, but came to the aisle, sat down on the chair in the aisle, turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, and occasionally turned his head to look at the place where Xiao Yueyue was sleeping in the box.
When the time came to six o'clock in the afternoon, the waiter in charge of selling dinner on the train pushed the dinner car and began to walk through the carriage one by one, and when the dining car came to Xu Lang's car, Xu Lang bought three dinners.
Lu Xing had already woken up, in fact, he hadn't slept much since he came to the sleeper box, as long as he was lying in bed in a daze, he didn't dare to play with his mobile phone, mainly because he was worried that the phone would run out of battery after playing for a long time, and at that time, when he returned to S City, he couldn't contact Ning Yanran and them, so it would be more troublesome.
When Xu Lang bought dinner, Xu Lang patted Lu Xing and motioned him to come down to eat, and then, Xu Lang walked to Xiao Yueyue's side again, and saw that although Xiao Yueyue was still nested in the quilt, when Xu Lang walked over, she was opening a pair of big watery eyes, Xu Lang knew that Xiao Yueyue's psychology was uncomfortable, so he whispered to her: "Get up and eat." ”
At first, Xiao Yueyue didn't move, and after Xu Lang said it a second time, Xiao Yueyue still didn't move, and when Xu Lang said it for the third time, she subconsciously aggravated her tone, Xiao Yueyue got up from the bed, climbed down the stairs to the first floor, put on her shoes, and went to the bathroom in the middle of the carriage.
The two women and one man in the carriage, except for the young woman who asked for dinner, the other two people didn't move, and Xu Lang didn't care about this.
After the young woman asked for a dinner, she also went to the bathroom with Xiao Yueyue after putting on her shoes, and before leaving, the woman glanced at Xu Lang and Lu Xing, who was sitting in the aisle eating.
Xu Lang looked at the back of the young woman in the distance, his eyes narrowed subconsciously, but he didn't say anything or do anything.
Three minutes have passed, Xiao Yueyue and the young woman have not come back, Xu Lang felt a little strange, however, thinking that the two of them were girls, it must be troublesome to go to the toilet and wash their hands after all, and it would take time, so Xu Lang did not seem to be in a hurry.
Five minutes passed, and the two of them still didn't come back, Xu Lang became a little uneasy, and at this time, Lu Xing had already finished eating, and was holding a bottle of drink to drink again, and complained while drinking: "The fast food on the train is really unpalatable." ”
Regarding Lu Xing's complaints, Xu Lang did not say anything.
After another five minutes, Xu Lang finally couldn't wait, just when he was about to get up and go to the toilet to look for Xiao Yueyue, he saw Xiao Yueyue and the young woman talking and laughing together, Xiao Yueyue saw Xu Lang, and immediately ran over quickly, stretched out her wet-wet little hand to grab Xu Lang's palm, and shouted sweetly: "Dad." ”
Xu Lang looked at Xiao Yueyue, and after finding that she was not abnormal, he raised his head again and looked at the woman who was slowly walking towards them, and asked Xiao Yueyue, "Why did you go for so long?" ”
Xiao Yueyue lowered her head a little embarrassed and said, "My stomach is uncomfortable." ”
"Are you okay now?" Xu Lang asked with concern.
Xiao Yueyue shook her head and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”
"Since it's okay, let's eat first."
Xiao Yueyue obediently sat opposite Lu Xing, opened the lid of the fast food, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
At this time, the young woman walked up to Xu Lang, she glanced at Xiao Yueyue, then looked at Xu Lang and asked with a smile, "Your daughter?" ”
Xu Lang nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"How old are you?" The woman asked.
Xu Lang subconsciously frowned, he turned his head to look at the woman, and then said, "Six years old." ”
As if sensing Xu Lang's vigilant gaze, she took a step back slightly, indicating that she had no malicious intent, and then said with a smile: "She is so young, she is so sensible, you are really blessed." ”
"Thank you." Xu Lang said without being salty.
Obviously, Xu Lang is full of vigilance against this woman who suddenly came to be close to him, in fact, as long as he has a certain amount of social experience, he will be wary of strangers who suddenly appear in front of him, let alone a person like Xu Lang.
Xiao Yueyue, who was eating, raised her head at this time, looked at the young woman, and said sweetly: "Thank you, sister beauty." ”
When the young woman heard the title of beautiful sister, she was stunned at first, and then, a touching smile appeared on her face, shook her head, and said, "You're welcome." ”
After saying this, the young woman walked past Xu Lang, walked into the box, half-lay on the bed again, continued to play with her mobile phone, and did not touch the dinner.
After Xu Lang glanced at the woman a few times, he turned his head, looked at Xiao Yueyue, and asked softly, "What happened just now?" ”
Lu Xing knew that Xu Lang hadn't eaten yet, so he stood up, took the lunch box he had eaten and left his seat, Xu Lang sat where Lu Xing was sitting just now, opened another dinner, and looked at Xiao Yueyue while holding chopsticks to clip the meat in his lunch box to Xiao Yueyue.
Xiao Yueyue whispered while picking up rice: "I had a stomachache just now, I went to the toilet, and I forgot to bring tissues, it was that young lady who helped me, so I want to thank her." ”
Hearing Xiao Yueyue say this, Xu Lang suddenly relieved his heart, and did not ask anything, but asked Xiao Yueyue to eat with peace of mind.
After the two of them finished eating, Xu Lang asked Xiao Yueyue to continue to go back to bed to sleep, while Xu Lang cleaned up the mess, and after cleaning up, Xu Lang sat on the seat in the aisle again, looking at the dark night scene outside.
Lu Xing had already returned, and he was sitting opposite Xu Lang, and like Xu Lang, he was a little bored looking at the night scene outside.
Smoking is not allowed on the bus, and at that time, Xiao Yueyue has been following Xu Lang, Xu Lang can't smoke, at this moment, Xu Lang feels a little sleepy, and wants to smoke a cigarette to relieve fatigue, so he said to Lu Xing: "You take care of Xiao Yueyue, I'll go to the aisle to smoke a cigarette." ”
Lu Xing nodded and said, "Go ahead, I'm here." ”
Xu Lang got up, went to the aisle of the carriage, took out a cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it, the cigarette is still thirteen yuan Liqun, for so many years, Xu Lang has been smoking this brand, even if Xu Lang took Xiao Yueyue to live in Zhuxi County for five years, even if the representative cigarette of Beihu Province is the Yellow Crane Tower, Xu Lang still likes to smoke Liqun.
Just when Xu Lang lit the cigarette, suddenly, he smelled a smell of perfume, Xu Lang followed the source of the fragrance, turned his head, and saw the young woman.
The woman stood beside Xu Lang, lightly opened her red lips, and said, "Is there still smoke?" ”
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then handed the cigarette case in his hand to the woman, along with the lighter in his hand.
The young woman was not polite to Xu Lang, after taking the cigarette case from Xu Lang's hand, she took out one from it and lit it, took a hard puff, tilted her head slightly, half-squinted her eyes, and after a long time, she slowly spit out a faint puff of smoke.
After Xu Lang saw this scene, he immediately knew that this small-looking woman was an old smoker, whether it was from her action of holding a cigarette or her posture of smoking.
After Xu Lang handed the cigarette to the woman, he didn't look at the woman again, but looked out the window, he didn't mean to talk, for Xu Lang, no matter how beautiful the other party was, Xu Lang didn't want to have anything to do with the other party, let alone talk to the other party.
The woman actually squinted her eyes all the time, looking at the man with a little girl and long snow-white hair, seeing that Xu Lang didn't mean to talk, the woman's eyebrows raised slightly, revealing an interested expression.
