Chapter 125: There is a treacherous city in the west
As soon as it was dawn, I woke up the fat man and pulled him to tell the story with sleepy eyes.
My words made the fat man sleepy, and immediately said that he would accompany me to go, and said that even if I fought for this old life, I couldn't make any mistakes.
I can hear a warm cry in my heart, and I can't wait to give him a face.
We deliberated and decided to take the high-speed train this time. First, time is pressing, and Fengdu is just a small county town, there is no airport, and it is convenient for the train to reverse.
The second is that the speed of the bus is too slow, although there is still a demon chasing and killing, but it has been quiet these days, and I think they should also die down.
Besides, both horizontal and vertical are death, so there is no way to pick the way to die, and racing against time is the right way.
Of course, I definitely can't tell my adoptive parents and grandmother about this kind of thing, but I just lied to them that the fifteenth day is over, the business in the store is too good, and the customers are urging them to go back to work.
After buying the ticket online, I discussed with the fat man and wanted to leave some money for my adoptive parents.
What I originally meant was that the money I earned in the past six months would be divided equally with the fat man 21, and half of my share would be given to them.
Unexpectedly, the fat man changed the image of the iron rooster, saying that if we put aside our daily expenses, plus the 30,000 yuan rewarded by the county spiritual guide just now, we now have a total of more than 300,000 yuan in cash.
He stored all this money in a bank card, and set up a financial management package with zero deposits and withdrawals, and calculated interest every day. Now we can take out 250,000 yuan to leave for our uncles and aunts, and we can bring 50,000 yuan to pay for the journey.
When the fat man said this, I was moved again and almost shed tears, saying that I received my heart, but I don't have to give so much, 100,000 yuan is left, and the rest is used as our activity funds.
I transferred 100,000 yuan to my adoptive mother's bank card, which is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for a rural family like ours.
The adoptive mother was frightened, she didn't want to live or die, saying that I was wandering alone and miserable, the family was fine, keep it for my own use, and if I could buy a house in the city, I would save money to buy a set so that I could marry a daughter-in-law.
I laughed hesitantly, and said that she saved it for me, and it was the same as adding a small one to the house, and it must be used for the small one first. provoked the adoptive mother to wipe her tears, and kept saying that the little bolt had grown up and knew that she was filial to her father.
Looking at her aging face and half-white hair on her head, my heart was mixed, and I couldn't help but shed tears.
I went to say goodbye to my grandmother again, and the old lady was a little sad when she heard that we were leaving. I put my head into her arms, which made the old man laugh, and his toothless mouth could not be closed, and he said in a thick country accent that I had not grown up yet, and was making a fuss about feeding.
He also praised the fat man for his good life, strong body, and a good hand at work, and she was relieved to be with me. Rural people are simple, even if they praise people, they are down-to-earth, and they don't know what to say.
I haven't talked about my grandmother well, and no one could have thought that this old lady was a local landlord and a figure on the rich side before the founding of the country.
We have received many years of patriotic education, and landlord seems to be a derogatory term, but my adoptive father said that my grandmother was quite simple, that her food was worse than that of a long-term worker, and that she had completely saved money to make a fortune, and that she never bullied or made things difficult for others.
That's why I've always believed that good and bad lie in people's hearts, not in groups or regions.
Although my sister Xiaohua is a doll less than a year old, she is reluctant to let me go, hugging my neck and crying and fussing, refusing to let go. Ah Huang also stood upright, hugged my waist, and whined and screamed in his mouth.
I stroked Ah Huang's head, looked at the little girl with a handful of snot and tears in my arms, and then remembered that the future of this trip was uncertain, but I couldn't explain it to my family, and my heart was also uncomfortable, and I couldn't help choking.
The adoptive parents and grandmother coaxed and deceived Xiao Nizi, and we were able to get out, and Ah Huang followed all the way until we got on the minibus and refused to leave.
After saying goodbye to my family in tears, the fat man and I took Lao Bi on the high-speed train to Chongqing and headed west.
Starting from Quancheng, after a full thirteen-hour journey, we first got off at Chongqing Station, transferred to the high-speed train to Fengdu Station, and flew for another hour, and finally arrived at the destination of this trip.
Here, I must mention one thing on the train.
At the beginning of 2013, although the high-speed rail had already been available, there was only one K-shaped express train from Quancheng to Chongqing. Although it has been accelerated, neither the hardware equipment nor the service quality can be compared with high-speed rail.
Rail transportation is a great invention, and from the day this means of transportation was born, a large number of alternative people who made their fortunes on railroad tracks, such as scalpers and thieves.
There are several types of thieves, but no matter which one they are, whether it is tomb robbery or financial fraud, the core of it is theft. Lone thieves often do big business, and on the streets, alleys, long-distance buses, and trains, there are mostly groups of thieves who commit crimes in gangs.
Just like in the movie "No Thieves in the World".
The fat man got in the car and started eating, and then he went to sleep, sleeping like a dead pig.
Sitting across from me and the fat man were an elderly couple. They looked well-dressed, glasses-wearing, and polite, but their gait was staggering, and the old man was still on crutches.
They didn't have much luggage, except for a handbag that looked like nourishment, and only a small cloth bag that the old lady carried. This bag is not big, it is more like a handbag, and the old lady does not leave the bag, which looks cautious.
After getting in the car, they nodded kindly at me and the fat man, and then began to talk in a low voice. After chatting for a while, they all seemed a little sleepy, so they shut up, leaned back in their chairs and yawned.
Ever since the elderly couple got in the car, I felt that something was not quite right. It wasn't them who were wrong, but a dark-skinned, ordinary-dressed, short, middle-aged man.
This man was following the old couple in front of and behind us, and he got on the train at the same station after us, and he did not have a seat, but he stood very persistently in our carriage, about two or three seats away from us.
In fact, this is the peak period for rework after the year, and there are many people who do not have tickets on the train, and the carriage is almost full. Why should I pay attention to him? The answer is physiognomy, this guy's physiognomy is too rare.
He was about thirty years old, with a low forehead, a low hairline, raised and sparse eyebrows, more than two fingers between his eyes, small and clustered, four whites, drooping at the corners of his eyes, a prominent jaw, and lips just covering the two protruding front teeth.
The ears are small and fleshless, and the gills behind the ears look like a big mouse!
This appearance is typical to the point that it can no longer be a typical thief's eyebrows and rat eyes, and the photo book says that this kind of person "is born as a thief, the six relatives do not recognize, the wealth does not gather, and the cunning is cunning".
The mouse stood not far from us, pretending to be looking at his phone, but after less than five seconds, he was about to subconsciously glance at the old couple. Especially after the old couple dozed off, they moved forward towards us.
