Chapter 223: Getting off the train
readx;? Xu Yang and his entourage took the tickets given by the other party and walked slowly towards the door of the foreign bank. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info At the same time, those foreigners at the door of the foreign store saw Xu Yang and his party coming, and said inarticulate that they had to check the ticket before they could get on the bus.
And just when everyone was about to hand each other the tickets, Liu Xiangping thought that his group would have to take this iron car for five days before they could arrive in Longjing, which was a long way.
Although everyone still carried a little rice and grain on them, it was impossible to make a fire on the tin car to cook, right? Therefore, he told what he was thinking in his heart, and asked the big tiger and the little tiger to go to the city to get some food and get on the train as soon as possible.
Everyone saw that Liu Xiangping was really far-sighted, if there was no reminder from the other party, they were afraid that their group would starve and arrive in Longjing.
Everyone saw that Liu Xiangping gave Dahu Xiaohu a little bit of broken silver, and the two of them hurriedly ran towards the city. And Xu Yang and others were waiting for the return of the big tiger and the little tiger at the door of the foreign bank.
And just when Xu Yang and others were admiring the unseen things around the foreign bank, while waiting for the return of the big tiger and the little tiger, they suddenly saw three foreigners in strange clothes who came to their side one after another after buying tickets, and after giving the tickets to the ticket inspectors of the foreign bank, they passed by themselves and walked towards the first section of the iron car.
And when the three foreigners walked past Xu Yang, Xu Yang saw that the foreigner led by him was wearing a gorgeous cloak and covered his head tightly, so that he couldn't see his true face, but he could see from the height of the other party that the other party was a young man. And the two people who followed the other party were tall and big, but they were a bit like each other's subordinates, looking highly vigilant and vigilant about the surrounding situation.
And when these two subordinates passed by Xu Yang, Xu Yang noticed the height gap between himself and the other party, and he also felt that there seemed to be an unfamiliar aura in the two of them. This aura is not what it should have in the Celestial Empire, it is unpredictable, and it suddenly increases the mystery of the three foreigners.
Xu Yang and the others waited for a while, and saw the big tiger and the little tiger each carrying a package, sweating like rain running towards them.
When everyone saw the big tiger and the little tiger returning, they hurriedly took their respective tickets, and after passing the foreigners' ticket checks, they walked in the direction of a string of iron cars.
When everyone came to this train of iron cars, they were surprised to find that there were a row of iron wheels on the left and right sides of the lower end of these iron cars, and the iron wheels were connected to the railroad tracks. The rails are held to the ground by wooden stakes and surrounded by stones.
When everyone looked towards the north, they saw that the railroad tracks could not be seen, and they were even more puzzled by what the huge iron car was pulled.
Everyone only saw the wolf smoke billowing from the front of a locomotive, and the steam was everywhere, wondering if it was possible to pull ten iron cars by the front of this locomotive? And these ten iron cars, each of which is equivalent to the size of a warehouse, wondered how to easily pull away the heavy carriages?
Although everyone's hearts were full of too many doubts, everyone bought the price of a tin car with a roof, so everyone walked towards the front of the tin car without hesitation. There were three of them on the roof, and after discussing for a while, they decided to sit in the front car.
Xu Yang and his entourage watched as a row of iron cars built by Jardine Matheson stayed on the tracks, while the locomotive was shrouded in billowing wolf smoke, making the surrounding environment darken. The smell of burnt coal fills the air, making the eyes sour and choking.
When everyone was about to step on the first iron car, they couldn't help but take a look at the locomotive, and they were very puzzled how ten huge iron cars could easily drive to Longjing?
And when everyone stopped to watch, they saw a ticket inspector standing at the door of the first iron car, signaling Xu Yang and his party to take out the tickets they bought before they could take the ride.
Xu Yang and his entourage then each took their own tickets, and after the ticket inspector checked that there was no problem, everyone boarded the first iron car one by one.
When everyone walked into this iron car, they saw that the carriage was divided into two rows of seats, left and right, and left a narrow aisle in the middle, and the seats in the left and right rows were opposite. Everyone saw a small number of passengers sitting in the carriage, talking and laughing, and most of these passengers were Chinese, only foreigners.
As they walked towards the carriage, they searched for a place where everyone could sit together. When everyone walked to the center of the carriage, they saw that a large number of seats were vacant, so everyone sat down one after another, and then everyone breathed a sigh of relief one by one.
Xu Yang naturally sat with Liu Xiangping, Yin Su'e, Xiaohuan, and Xu Yi, Ma Zichen, Lian Gui, and Dahu Xiaohu sat together, the four monks sat together, Xiao Xiong and his group were separated from each other, and Beibi Wang, Fudong, and Ghost Snake sat behind Xu Yang and others.
The big tiger and the little tiger will take out the fruits and snacks and other food bought in the city, and divide them one by one for everyone, and then everyone began to talk and laugh in the carriage and look around, and from time to time look outside the carriage, sighing, surprised.
While admiring the high technology of foreigners, Xu Yang and the others saw that several people sitting on the other side of Xu Yang never said a few words from beginning to end, as if they were used to such things, and they were not as curious as Xu Yang and others.
Xu Yang looked at these people, and saw that the other party was three foreigners, and these three people were the three foreigners that his group saw in Jardine Matheson.
And Xu Yang was just shoulder-to-shoulder with the three of them before, and he didn't pay much attention to his eyes, but now he saw these three people sitting on his side, and he couldn't help but look at them twice.
I saw that these three people were all wearing cloaks, and one of them was much more magnificent, his head was still shrunk in the cloak, and he couldn't see his true face clearly, but he could indeed see that the other party was a young man from his figure.
The remaining two sat outside, protecting the young man inside, as if they were afraid that the other would be harmed. The cloaks of the two are black on the outside and red on the inside, and both of them are tall and mighty, with white faces and red faces, high nose bridges, and golden hair. The two looked like they were the young man's subordinates, escorting each other.
And when Xu Yang looked at which nationality the three of them were, the two subordinate foreigners seemed to have noticed that Xu Yang was peeping towards him, and suddenly locked his eyes on Xu Yang, which couldn't help but make Xu Yang tremble, feeling as if he was being targeted by a fierce beast, his heart was frightened, and he couldn't help but take his curiosity back.
The two foreigners saw that Xu Yang and his party were just ordinary passengers, and they immediately let down their guard.
And only the three of them in this carriage are from a foreign country, which will naturally attract many curious eyes. Even so, not only did the two of them not relax their vigilance, but they were like they were on the edge of the abyss, and they were even more vigilant against everyone around them.
The crowd waited in the carriage for a long time, and did not see the appearance of the iron car leaving, which made everyone feel like a needle cushion, from the original talking and laughing, to become restless.
I saw that one of the foreigners saw the commotion in the carriage, took out a pocket watch from his arms, looked at the time, and muttered a few words to the young man.
Xu Yang saw that three hours had passed since he and his party boarded the iron car, and the sun was about to set down the mountain, and this iron car had never left Zhangde.
And Xu Yang also saw that one of the three foreigners took out a pocket watch from his arms, thinking that foreigners' gadgets are really developed, and they can actually use such a gadget to see the time. And when you look at the time, you must either pinch your fingers or look at the direction of the sun, so that you can tell what time it is.
At the same time, the other passengers in the carriage had already exploded, clamoring for foreigners to start the train. The staff of Jardine Matheson Co., while comforting the passengers, said that the train was about to start, so that everyone could calm down.
During the noisy crowd, everyone could see passengers getting on the iron car from time to time, which showed that the crew was deliberately delaying time to make more money.
Xu Yang and his entourage saw that the iron car they were in was gradually filled with passengers, and the iron car never moved, which couldn't help but make the passengers in the car protest again. Some people want to refund their tickets and get off the train, which causes a chain reaction, so that the passengers in the iron car all ask for a refund to get off the train.
Everyone saw that the outside of the carriage had been shrouded in night, and the pedestrians who were watching the bustle outside had already left from Jardine Matheson, but the iron car never started, which made all the passengers restless. At this time, the crowd did not see a single passenger get on the bus again.
When Xu Yang and his entourage felt that they were being tricked by foreigners, they saw the three foreigners sitting on Xu Yang's side bounce up from their seats at the same time, looking like they were about to leave the iron car.
Xu Yang saw that the three foreigners were about to leave this place, and was about to signal everyone to leave too, when he suddenly saw a crew member in the front of the tin car shouting: "Everyone be calm, don't make any more noise." The iron car of Jardine Matheson has just been overhauled, so it has been delayed for some time. Now that the overhaul is complete, everyone is seated, and the iron car is about to set off. This time I promised to leave, and I would never deceive everyone again. ”
"Phew, you dog-fighting foreigner watchdog, you can only speak for foreigners, so we waited in the tin car for a long time, and we didn't see the tin car move. It's so hot in the carriage on this hot summer day, if we wait any longer, won't we be steamed!" all the passengers scolded.
