On this day, Zi Yang was squatting on the ground counting ants, and Lao Wang came back happily with a stack of money: "The salary has been paid, Lao Tzu's living expenses have also arrived, Comrade Xiao Li, the darkest hour before dawn has passed, and the dawn of victory is beckoning to us!" ”

Zi Yang snorted and said, "Save some flowers, and you have to pay tuition!" "These days, all the eating, drinking and entertainment with Lao Wang are borne by themselves, although the two of them have tightened their belts to a certain extent, but the expenses of surfing the Internet, snacks, buying food + nutrition for the goddess and the like are not small.

Lao Wang said, "Don't worry about it, the tuition has already been saved, and the rest is the difference between our two brothers." ”

Zi Yang turned over and stood up, "I'll go, you have so much pocket money?" Your dad was taken up by a rich woman? ”

Lao Wang kicked Zi Yang, "Get out of here, my Lao Tzu has opened his head in the past few years, and he has partnered with others to do a timber business, and he has made a small fortune, and I am about to enter the ranks of the rich second generation." ”

Zi Yang sighed: "I can't see that you, a guy with thin eyebrows and small eyes, are going to rebel against the poor masses!" ”

Lao Wang patted Zi Yang's shoulder with his chest protruding and said, "Hehe, little ghost, I can't imagine that serfs will also turn over and become landlords one day, right?" ”

Looking at the triumphant old Wang, Zi Yang suddenly sighed and said, "This period of trouble is still scary when I think about it now, it's really a big test in life, fortunately, most of our lives have not happened, the most pitiful thing is the dead female classmate, his father doesn't know what happened......"

When Lao Wang heard this, his expression also darkened, "Yes, although I haven't said a few words to that girl, but it seems that she is also diligent and thrifty, two sets of clothes are changed and worn for a season, and at first glance she is a bitter girl from the countryside, when we used to work together, she was reluctant to finish a box lunch, and she had to eat it in two meals." I picked up his father when he came to school, and he seemed to be an honest farmer. ”

"It is not easy for rural people to support a college student, and the family has put all their hopes on this daughter, which is equivalent to the collapse of the family's house beams."

Ziyang asked, "How far is that place in Shaanxi from here?" ”

Lao Wang rolled his eyes and thought: "Well, if you take the train, it will take more than ten hours, at least." ”

Zi Yang pinched his fingers and calculated, "Well, when I came back this time, the family gave me some extra pocket money, I calculated, after removing the expenses of these days, I can still get rich for a few hundred yuan, or let's buy something and go and see?" Idle is idle anyway...... I panic when I mess with you every day. ”

Lao Wang's eyes lit up and said, "Good idea, classmate Xiao Li, I didn't see that you still have such a compassionate mind." I can squeeze 1,800 here, and I will save the restaurant by eating a few less times in the future. ”

Zi Yang asked, "Do you have the address of the fellow's house?" ”

Lao Wang said, "I don't have it here, but Mr. Li has it, and he also helped book the train ticket for the girl's father's round-trip train at the beginning." At that moment, Lao Wang called Mr. Li and asked Mr. Li to come out for dinner.

The teacher is not particularly far from the school, and he is not polite when he answers the phone, and he came after more than an hour, this teacher Li looks like a down-and-out intellectual, in his thirties, with big black-framed glasses, unkempt hair, a sweatshirt and big pants that are as dilapidated as Lao Wang, dragging a pair of slippers, and it seems that his private life is not very particular, his body is thin, with thin arms and legs, and he walks like a big prawn.

The three of them ordered a few side dishes in the small restaurant and chatted while eating. Lao Wang told him the general meaning, and the teacher agreed with both hands, and said that if it weren't for the thief mother and the bear child at home, he would go with them. In the end, Mr. Li took out a crumpled handful of money from his pocket and said that he was short of money, and this money meant something, so that the two of them had a heart. Lao Wang took a hundred yuan over, and left dozens of yuan of gross tickets and steel hammers, saying that you always leave yourself to improve your life, and your mind will be done.

At the moment, they asked for a specific address, so the two packed their luggage and went to the train station to book two tickets, fortunately, in the summer, the ticket price is cheap, plus the student ticket is half price, and the round-trip fare does not cost a few dollars.

This green train, is the main means of transportation of the year, a row of two seats, each seat is facing each can sit three people, in the middle is a large butt small table, full of melon peel and fruit crumbs, a row of shelves above the head is to put luggage, hot in summer, the train group is very humane under the shelf installed an electric fan, better than nothing. There is the handsome one who sits on the back of the chair and puts his head and face on the fan to blow.

Although it is summer, but people are also full, most of them are villagers who work in other places, some people can't buy tickets, just stand on the aisle, the aisle where the two carriages are connected, and some people even shrink their bodies, they get into the gap under the seats, and spread two newspapers, which are no different from sleepers.

From time to time, the conductor pushed the trolley by, shouting: beer, drinks, mineral water, cigarettes, melon seeds, ham sausages, alas, the feet are collected......

Although he shouts and works hard, he has very little business, and the things on it are expensive and ordinary people can't afford to eat.

Lao Wang and Ziyang bought tickets facing the window, which is a feng shui masterpiece, the two took out the snacks they bought on the road and put them on the small tables and chairs, while watching the scenery outside the window flickering, while eating and chatting. After a while, Lao Wang fell asleep on the table amid the clangling of the train.

Ziyang didn't feel sleepy, and his eyes looked at the various people around him aimlessly.

Over the years, Ziyang has formed a habit of silently observing words and feelings, looking at the appearance, behavior and conversation of the people around him, and sometimes guessing the conduct, background, habits, and origin of these people in his mind. This habit has become a pleasure for him.

Ziyang feels that everyone has their own story, and there are thousands of stories happening in the world every moment, converging, two people who don't know each other, and their lives may intersect in the next second.

On the row of seats diagonally opposite Ziyang, there were several young adults squatting or sitting on the ground, all dressed as migrant workers, and the shelves were full of luggage, and some of them were stuffed in the space under the seats. Zi Yang knows that these migrant workers have no fixed residence, and usually have a snakeskin bag or a large denim bag, which is filled with pots and pans, and stuffed together with a quilt, which is all the belongings, which is convenient and proper.

It's just that the first impression of these migrant workers is a little strange, although their behavior is no different from that of migrant workers, but there are many differences in details and temperament. Ordinary migrant workers have wide palms, chapped skin, thin bodies, and more or less mud and brick marks on their clothes. Although these people have thick hands and feet and rough knuckles, they don't seem to have the kind of years of moving bricks and tiles, and their nails are neatly trimmed and clean, and their clothes are clean (maybe they just went out, so they are especially dressed up).

Although these people are also squatting or standing on their seats, and the peels and peels of melon seeds are thrown to the ground, their words and deeds do not have the restraint of ordinary migrant workers, and the eyes that occasionally sweep reveal aggressive ferocity.

Probably noticing Ziyang's gaze, an old man next to the gang coughed: "Ahem, a few of you pay attention, the outside is not as good as the home, the legs and feet are well stored, and things should not be thrown around." ”

Although the old man was kind and kind, several young people sat up in unison as if they had heard an order. It seems that it is their leader.

Zi Yang observed the old man again, this old man is about fifty or sixty years old, his hair is thin, neatly combed behind his head, his face is thin, round at the top and sharp at the bottom, his mouth is beardless, his eyes are full of smiles, but the eye bags with two copper coins are particularly eye-catching, Zi Yang heard the old man say that most people with heavy eye bags are obscene (but the old-timers who said this have not small eye bags, and they seem to be life experience).

The old man was small and thin, very neatly dressed, with slender hands, hands as dry as birds' claws, and a huge wrench on the thumb of his right hand.

Ziyang heard the old man say, this wrench is a very particular thing, the wrench is divided into Wen wrench and Wu wrench, mostly made of antlers, rhino horns, ivory, crystal, jade, jade, tourmaline and other precious China Resources materials. In the Qing Dynasty, people with wrenches were the most prosperous, and wealthy merchants with the children of the Eight Banners or vassals often wore them to show their dignity.

The military wrenches are made of moose antlers, which are strong and wear-resistant, and are used by soldiers when drawing bows and archery. When the hands are sweaty in summer, the keratin in the moose antlers will be precipitated from the sweat, and the inner wall of the wrench will be viscous, and the uniform blood line can increase the breathability, and there will be no foul smell after long-term wear.

Now there are very few people who wear wrenches for decoration, only some old people will use them, and they are generally people with a bit of status, here I see an old man who is well-dressed and wears a wrench, mixed with a group of inexplicable migrant workers, Ziyang feels a little weird.

Seeing the old man looking at himself with a smile, Zi Yang was embarrassed to observe, but also nodded, and then turned his head to look out the window, and from time to time there were a few words from young adults and the old man in his ears, and he probably heard an outline all the way down, this wave of people is going to work and work in northern Shaanxi, and the old man is their contractor, called Uncle Li.
