After returning home and hurriedly saying goodbye to his parents, Zhao Xu hurriedly got into a taxi with a desert camouflage backpack on his back. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhao Xu's parents are both employees of state-owned enterprises, and they are very conscious of military families. Since their son was admitted to the military academy and became an officer in the People's Liberation Army Army, plus he served in the field army, they have long been accustomed to their son's cold farewell.

For Zhao Xu, the most important thing in front of him was how to return to the army within forty-eight hours. The physical straight-line distance from Tangshan back to the army station is about 1,300 kilometers, and there is no direct flight, so when Zhao Xu came back, he flew to the imperial capital first, and then transferred to the train back to Tangshan.

The reason why I set off immediately was because after arriving in the city where the station was located, it was still more than two hours away from returning to the camp. It was really in the deep mountains and old forests.

The most important thing is that it is the highest peak of the Spring Festival, and it is difficult to find a ticket!

On the way, Zhao Xu first used the app to check the earliest flight from the imperial capital to Jinling, and unexpectedly found that all of them were sold out. Due to the impact of the statutory holiday, the vast majority of people focus on this day to go home, so the traffic volume on this day is usually the highest during the entire Spring Festival travel period.

With more than 30 million permanent residents, more than 80 percent of the population of the imperial capital has been lost in just a few days, so you can imagine how great the traffic pressure is.

At this time, it is more difficult to buy a ticket for the day than to land on the moon.

"Master, go to the train station!" Zhao Xu immediately decided.

The taxi driver turned to the train station and said, "Are you going home?

Zhao Xu spoke standard Mandarin with almost no local accent, which made the taxi driver mistakenly think he was a foreigner.

"No, I'll figure it out when I get to the train station. Zhao Xu said.

"Where do you want to go back?" asked the taxi driver.

"Jinling. ”

"Yo, that's not easy to buy, it's not easy to buy tickets anywhere. Little brother, why didn't you buy tickets in advance, what about the Spring Festival, you can't buy tickets even if you have money. The taxi driver said.

"Ad hoc decision. Zhao Xu said.

The taxi driver said, "I advise you not to waste time at the train station, take the bus, it's hard work, but you can buy a ticket." ”

Zhao Xu smiled, didn't answer, and said, "Master, please hurry up." ”

"Gotcha. ”

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in the taxi drop-off area in front of the square in front of the station, Zhao Xu got out of the car and saw that the square in front of the station was divided into several waiting areas, and the black pressure was full of heads, and a large number of armed police were maintaining order.

Tightening his backpack, Zhao Xu strode towards the ticket hall.

Struggled through the crowd to the ticket hall, the queue in front of the ticket window waiting to buy tickets was longer and longer, and the faces of passengers were anxious and excited and longed for coexistence.

For active-duty officers, how can they get on the southbound train?

Of course, the idea must not be limited by the condition of the ticket.

So, Zhao Xu walked directly to the station management office, showed his military ID and asked to see the person in charge. When the stationmaster, who was busy with a ball of meat, heard that an officer wanted to see him, he thought that something had happened, so he hurriedly asked the officer to be invited to the office, and then invited the military transport representative who was stationed at the station. Not for anything else, just to identify the identity of the person who came. Now fake officers are everywhere, and all kinds of ridiculous news emerge one after another, and the stationmaster has to be on guard.

Zhao Xu entered the office, didn't care about greeting the stationmaster for too long, and said directly, "I received an order to return to the team urgently, and I hope that the station will provide convenience, and the fastest southbound train will go to Jinling." ”

As soon as the words fell, the military transport representative hurriedly came, the level was equivalent to Zhao Xu, and the major was in the camp.

Stretched out his hand to take Zhao Xu's documents and looked at them, then picked up the microphone and asked, "How many phone numbers are on duty in the detachment?"

The military line obviously cannot be penetrated.

Only then did Zhao Xu understand that the other party was verifying his identity, and he truthfully reported the detachment's external duty phone. The representative of the military movement immediately made a phone call, reported the number, and said, "Check that this number belongs to the ** detachment of the ***** troops." ”

They quickly replied, "That's right." ”

If you are not a real soldier, you obviously will not know the external duty number of your unit.

Putting down the microphone, the military representative shook hands with Zhao Xu with a smile, "What help do you need?"

Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Xu boarded a southbound train, which was the fastest train to Shanghai. In order to gain time, Zhao Xu planned to transfer to Jinling after arriving in Shanghai, and someone would pick him up when he arrived in Jinling.

After getting on the train, a heat wave suddenly came, and the air conditioner was turned on to the maximum, and I could still feel the temperature in the carriage rising significantly. The aisles were full of people, and the passengers almost had to squeeze between the meats, and if it weren't for the thick clothes they wore in winter, there would have been a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Zhao Xu rubbed his nose, stood still at the smoking place, took out a cigarette and lit one to fight poison with poison. Letting Zhao Xu get on the train is already the greatest convenience given by the railway station, and it is basically impossible to have a seat, of course, the train will not make special arrangements for him, after all, he is only a small battalion commander, and he is not performing military affairs.

After a cigarette was smoked, the scheduled departure time arrived, but there was still no sign that the train was ready to leave. Zhao Xu waited patiently, if he set off on time, it would be puzzling.

It was a full hour and fifteen minutes late before the train slowly started to leave the platform.

Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the dining car. Order a lunch to get a place to sit, and it's not a problem to do this when you don't have a seat, but during the Spring Festival, it's one thing to have a seat or not. Zhao Xu can only try his luck.

I used all my strength to pass through the five carriages and finally saw the dining car. Because it is a temporary additional general passenger, only one of the five carriages in front is a soft sleeper.

Walking to the place where the two carriages meet, that is, the smoking area, three men are greeted by three men rushing out of the dining car. Zhao Xu let go of his body and let them pass first, his eyes unintentionally swept over their faces, his gaze was slightly condensed, and he was slightly stunned.

The three men didn't notice the subtle changes in Zhao Xu's face and passed by him.

Zhao Xu watched them enter the soft sleeper car, hesitated slightly, and then walked into the dining car. Those three men were not ordinary people, but Zhao Xu had no reason to suspect that they were bad people, so he didn't think much about it.

The dining car was really crowded with people, usually on both sides of the table for four people, but now there are five or six people, and the waiters are swimming like fish to serve the food. The normal speech of the chaos is not inaudible at all.

As soon as he saw this scene, Zhao Xu immediately dispelled the idea of dining, and asked him to make a box lunch to deal with a meal for a while.

Turning around and returning the same way, when Zhao Xu passed the third soft sleeper box, his footsteps stopped suddenly...... (To be continued.) )
