Chapter 8 Hunting in the Waiting Hall

After breakfast, we drove to the city. Zhang Guanshan bought a train ticket to southern Jiangsu that day from the ticket seller, and there was still an hour before the driving time, so we waited in the waiting room. Although it is not the peak time for passenger traffic, there are still many people in the waiting room, some are wearing only vests and holding a fan to fan the wind, and some have taken off their sandals and buckled their feet...... The waiting hall was very hot and the air was not very circulating, and the smell of sweat mixed with the smell of the toilet and other smells became an indescribable smell, which was really unpleasant! It's just that the people who are resting and waiting in the waiting hall don't seem to smell or have become accustomed to this smell, so what should they do, and there is no uncomfortable expression on their faces.

I really want to pinch my nose, but I don't think it's the way to go, after all, we don't spend a lot of time in the waiting hall, forget it! When the nose gets used to it, it won't smell bad.

I looked up at Zhang Guanshan and saw that he also frowned slightly, as if he also felt that the smell of the waiting hall was unpleasant. He looked around the waiting hall and finally pulled me to a window. He was tall and leaned against the ledge, and I climbed up the ledge and sat on it.

"It's not the Chinese New Year, and there are no festivals recently, why are there so many people coming to ride today?" Zhang Guanshan muttered to himself.

I raised my head and looked at the waiting hall, there were indeed a lot of people! It's just that some of these people are waiting for the bus, while some are looking around as if they are looking for something, and some are sitting there quietly with their eyes looking at the door from time to time, as if they are waiting for someone!

Zhang Guanshan looked at the people in the waiting hall, his face suddenly changed, and he grabbed my wrist and flashed behind a pillar. He didn't have time to say anything to me, so he quickly took out a yellow talisman from his treasure bag, and after reciting a few incantations silently, he commanded me, "Open your mouth!" ”

I quickly opened my mouth, and Zhang Guanshan put the yellow fu in my mouth, "Lin Xi, no matter who talks to you for a while, you can't make a sound, let alone spit out the yellow fu, you know?" When the master asks you to take it out, you take it out again! Remember! ”

I saw Zhang Guanshan's solemn expression, and quickly nodded.

A moment later, two young men of medium height in denim suits walked over, they looked at Zhang Guanshan and then at me, and then walked away. I looked at Zhang Guanshan suspiciously, and Zhang Guanshan shook his head at me.

After another two minutes, a middle-aged woman came over with a little girl about my age, "Oops! I don't know what's going on today, there are so many people! Hey, master, is this your granddaughter? The middle-aged woman complained, and then chatted with Zhang Guanshan enthusiastically. Granddaughter? Although I said that she was quite handsome, she didn't look like a girl, how did she look like a girl? Besides, I'm still short-haired? How can this middle-aged woman say that I am a girl? Could it be this talisman in my mouth?

Zhang Guanshan smiled and nodded, and the smile on the middle-aged woman's face deepened, "Master, you are so blessed!" This girl doll is so good-looking! After saying that, the middle-aged woman pinched my cheek again and asked, "Little girl, how old are you this year?" ”

I pretended not to hear, and just stared blankly at the middle-aged woman. When the middle-aged woman saw that I didn't speak, she showed a displeased look on her face, and her tone of voice was also accusatory, "What's the matter with this female doll?" Why don't you ignore me when I talk to you? ”

Zhang Guanshan took the opportunity to say: "This eldest sister is embarrassed, my granddaughter suffered a little brain injury when she was a child, and she can't understand other people's words very well!" Please forgive me! When the middle-aged woman saw that Zhang Guanshan spoke Mandarin, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Yo!" Master, you're not a local! Where are you from? Are you here to visit relatives? ”

Zhang Guanshan said politely: "I'm here to travel!" ”

"Touristy? So where have you traveled? Have you ever been to Qingcheng Mountain? "The middle-aged woman continued to gossip, and I almost rolled my eyes, this woman must be the kind of person who likes to chew the root of her tongue everywhere in the countryside.

Zhang Guanshan just smiled faintly and did not answer the middle-aged woman's question. The middle-aged woman didn't mind, and continued: "The people who can travel out this year are all cadres, and the master must be a national cadre if you look like this!" How are you national cadres now! Eating and drinking are all paid by the state, and there is a salary every month, and the unit also gives a house, and there is meat to eat every day...... "Let's ...... The middle-aged woman said a lot to herself, and finally pulled the little girl beside her over, "Rong'er, you see this young lady is so beautiful, call her sister!" ”

The little girl didn't speak, but looked at me with a very strange look. I just glanced at her, stopped looking at her, and continued to pretend to be stupid. The middle-aged woman talked to herself for a while, and when she saw that Zhang Guanshan ignored her, she left stupidly. Before leaving, he tilted his head and looked at me carefully. The middle-aged woman walked over and shook her head at the two young men standing on the other side. The two young men looked disappointed, and had to continue to crouch in the doorway and watch the people entering the waiting room from outside.

After a while, the sound of the train we were taking was heard on the radio, and Zhang Guanshan quickly pulled me to the ticket gate. There weren't many people waiting for the ticket gate at the ticket gate, only a dozen people. There are not many trains passing through the city every day, but there are only a dozen people on this train, but there are hundreds of people in this waiting room. It can't be those people who found out I'm not dead and came to arrest me, right? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder, and my hand holding Zhang Guanshan tightened.

Following Zhang Guanshan to find a place in the car and sit down, I breathed a long sigh of relief, I just wanted to talk to Zhang Guanshan but saw him shaking his head at me, I immediately closed my mouth. At this moment, two more middle-aged men dressed in black came up from the junction of the carriages, and as they passed by each seat, they would take a closer look at the people sitting in the seats, and I was so nervous that I held my breath when they walked in front of us. Luckily, the two of them just looked at us twice and left.

With a long whistle, the train started slowly. My tense heart relaxed. It was uncomfortable to have Zhang Fu in my mouth, and I turned my head to look at Zhang Guanshan, wanting to ask him if I could take out the talisman paper. Zhang Guanshan gently stroked my head and said, "Lin Xi, bear with me!" Wait until you get out of the river and then take it out! ”

I nodded, this discomfort was nothing compared to being captured by those bad onmyoji. The train was getting faster and faster, and the cool breeze came in through the half-open windows, and after a while I fell asleep......
