New Year's Day, 7 a.m.

Xiao Yu and Da Niu got on the train from Shanghai to Zhengzhou, and the train whistle whistled and slowly left Shanghai Station.

They were indeed lucky enough to buy train tickets for the morning of the first day of the new year after waiting in line for three hours, each ticket cost 240 yuan, and it cost Xiaoyu a total of 480 yuan.

When he came out, Xiao Yu checked the timetable, the train at seven o'clock in the morning can arrive in Zhengzhou at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and after arriving in Zhengzhou, he can change to a long-distance bus there to get to Da Niu's hometown - Yang Village, Daxing Township, Neihuang County.

Under the seat are two large travel bags, which are filled with New Year's goods and daily necessities purchased by Da Niu.

After buying the ticket at that time, Xiaoyu directly gave Da Niu 1,500 yuan and asked him to go to the supermarket to buy some New Year's goods, and the two could bring them together the day after tomorrow.

The moment Da Niu took the banknote from Xiaoyu's hand, he really felt indescribable in his heart, and he had the urge to cry for the first time when he was so big.

After six years of wandering, from working on the construction site to begging along the street, and finally reduced to eating overlord meals, Da Niu has met all kinds of people and has many experiences that ordinary people can't imagine, but Xiao Yu is the first person he met who really cares about him.

This small boss not only gave him a stable job, but also took more care of him in life, making Da Niu feel that it didn't matter even if he handed over his life.

Of course, Da Niu can't say these words, but he has already made up his mind in his heart, he will follow Xiaoyu in this life, and he will not go anywhere!

Xiao Yu sat in the window seat and watched the scenery fly by outside the window.

This is the first time he has taken a train, and there is also an inexplicable sense of freshness, as the speed of the train gradually increases, the prompts in his brain of 'discover a new map, experience points +1' are becoming more and more frequent, and later, Xiaoyu finally turned off the repeated information prompts after several experiments, and the world finally calmed down.

The things at home have been properly explained, Lao Zhangtou has Xiaodao brothers and sisters to take care of, there should be no problem, and his leg injury is almost fully recovered after careful treatment during this time.

Regarding Xiaoyu accompanying Da Niu home, Lao Zhangtou was a hundred in favor, saying that young people should go out to see the world more and have a long knowledge, always stay at home, and never be productive.

He also went to buy some supplements and asked Da Niu to bring them and give them to Da Niu's grandfather, which was a little bit of his own heart.

For his godfather, Xiao Yu feels that he is too good to himself, no matter what ideas he puts forward, he supports him unconditionally, and is full of confidence in himself, as if there is nothing in the world that he can't do, sometimes, even he can't figure it out, is Lao Zhangtou really his father in his previous life? Otherwise, how could you be so good to yourself?

The train drove for an hour, and the scenery outside the window became monotonous, Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at the carriage he was in.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, although the carriage is not as flooded as before the Spring Festival, but it is also full, many people are carrying many things in large bags and small bags, and most of the people are dressed as migrant workers.

Opposite Xiao Yu sat a middle-aged man with glasses, with a bulging briefcase firmly under his ribs, probably because he didn't sleep well last night, and he dozed off against the window as soon as he got in the car.

Next to the middle-aged man were two stout men in grass-green old military uniforms and white tourist shoes, all with the same board brush heads, talking in a whisper.

Xiao Yu doesn't think that these two people are soldiers, and the current military uniforms are no longer this antique color, and they are migrant workers who come out to work.

Henan has a small number of people, the population is the largest in the country, and the economy is underdeveloped, so there are many farmers who go out to work, and on the train from Shanghai to Henan during the Spring Festival, migrant workers account for the majority, which should not attract the attention of others.

However, the two men were a little different, Xiao Yu noticed that they had almost no luggage, and each of them only brought a carry-on waist bag.

Da Niu sat next to Xiao Yu, and next to Da Niu was a middle-aged woman holding a child, with dark complexion and very simple clothes.

"Xiaoyu, come and eat something." Da Niu took out a plastic bag from the big bag under the seat, which contained ten big buns, which was specially made for them by Lao Zhangtou in the morning, because the train had to run for seven hours, so this bun was considered breakfast and lunch.

Da Niu gave Xiao Yu a bun, and he also took out a bun from the plastic bag and ate it, this kid has a good appetite and eats fast, and when Xiao Yu finishes eating a bun, this kid has three buns.

Xiaoyu ate two buns, and his hunger and thirst dropped to 0 and he didn't eat them, and noticed that the child in the middle-aged woman's arms had been staring at the buns in Da Niu's hand, so he motioned to Da Niu to give the child a bun as well, and the child took the bun and gnawed it, and the middle-aged woman thanked her with gratitude.

After eating this morning and lunch, Xiao Yu and Da Niu had nothing to do, Da Niu didn't know where to find an old newspaper to read, Xiao Yu closed his eyes slightly, closed his eyes and recuperated.

After sitting for a while, Xiao Yu found out from the corner of his eye that the actions of the two people opposite were a little unusual, these two people always went out and walked around, and when they went, they went together, for about twenty minutes each time, I don't know whether to go to the toilet or what to do?

Xiao Yu gradually found that every time they came back, their pockets bulged out a little.

A sneer came to Xiao Yu's lips, and he somewhat guessed what these two people were doing.

Throw an intermediate mind-reading technique at the man on the left.

"Subject: Thief, Intermediate Mind Reading Result: Haha, today's harvest is really good, there are 20,000 yuan in these few runs!"

Sure enough, these two people are thieves, these two people are really lacking in morality, this train is mainly composed of migrant workers returning to their hometowns, is it easy for these migrant workers to save some money? steals the hard-earned money of migrant workers, and is not afraid of raising a son without an asshole.

Throw another Scout.

"Thieves, level 3 attack, medium health, medium defense, weapon-fist, combat power assessment - defeat them is as easy as eating buns."

Xiao Yu thought about it, and whispered a few words to the big cow next to him, the big cow was slightly stunned, and immediately covered his stomach and shouted, "Alas, I ate five buns in one go, and my stomach is in a panic, Xiao Yu, I'll go to the toilet." ”

Xiao Yu understood and asked him to go early and return early.

After the big bull left, Xiao Yu continued to pretend to be asleep, secretly paying attention to the movements of the two thieves.

I saw that the two of them moved their brains to the middle-aged man with glasses next to him, who was sleeping soundly, and a briefcase that was originally sandwiched in the armpit had slipped to the seat.

The two thieves had apparently worked extremely well together, and the thief sitting at the outermost edge blocked the view of the others, and the thief inside began to zip the briefcase.

In broad daylight, in front of the public, they actually stole things in front of Xiao Yu.

At this time, the only people who could see the thief's movements were Xiao Yu and the middle-aged woman, and the middle-aged woman's face showed a frightened expression, and she also covered the child's mouth, for fear that the child would call out and cause trouble for herself.

Seeing the middle-aged woman like this, and Xiao Yu's appearance was just a student, and he was thin, he was not a threat to himself, the thief was even more unscrupulous, and the zipper of the briefcase had been half opened.

Xiao Yu suddenly coughed loudly, and the thief was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand, and saw Xiao Yu staring at him, knowing that his behavior had been exposed, and immediately showed a threatening look at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was silent, the thief thought that Xiao Yu was afraid, and saw that the middle-aged man was sleeping very dead, and reached for the briefcase again.

Xiao Yu sneered in his heart, this thief's courage is really big enough.

Another cough scared the thief's hand away.

The thief's eyes widened, and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to teach Xiao Yu a lesson, but at this moment, the thief who was sitting on the outermost side and watching the wind turned his head back sharply, and said nervously, "It's not good, the police are here, it's the big man who called the police!" Come on! ”

The thief inside looked back, but no, the figures of Da Niu and the two policemen had already appeared at the door of the carriage and walked here, the thief didn't care about finding Xiaoyu, so he stood up and wanted to run.

Xiao Yu suddenly moved, only to see his hands stretched forward like lightning, grabbed the thief's left arm one by one, and slammed it in a counterclockwise direction, the thief only felt a sharp pain in his arm, and sighed in pain.

struggled hard, only to feel that the other party's hands were like two steel pliers, but the arms hurt even more, knowing that he had encountered a powerful character, he immediately lay on the seat and didn't dare to move.

The other thief saw that the situation was not good, left his companion, and had just run two steps to the other side of the carriage, when he felt that something had tripped under his feet, and one did not stand firmly, and his body fell, and his chin slammed heavily on the back of one of the seats, and a front tooth flew out, and his mouth was full of blood.

The thief estimated that he had fainting blood, and when he reached out and wiped it, he saw that his hands were full of blood, and he made a 'cluck' sound, rolled his eyes, and fainted to the ground.

"Oops, I'm sorry." The middle-aged woman retracted her left foot embarrassedly, daring to love the trip just now, it was her secret, but she didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

When Da Niu arrived with the police, he saw that the two thieves had lost the ability to escape, and even the police couldn't help but be surprised, handcuffed the thieves, checked the pockets of the two thieves, and found a total of two envelopes and eight wallets, which added up to a total of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan.

After such a fuss, two migrant workers immediately found that their wallets were missing and rushed here.

The two police officers checked their information one by one and returned the wallets to them, and the other wallets were probably stolen by the thief from the passengers of other carriages, and they needed to go back to interrogate the thief before they found out.

Before leaving, the police greatly praised Xiaoyu and Da Niu, in today's social atmosphere, it is too valuable to be able to act bravely.

The nearby passengers also praised in unison, especially the two migrant workers who were stolen from their wallets, and they were so excited that they almost knelt down for Xiaoyu and the others, and they had worked hard to save a year's salary, if they were stolen by thieves before going home, they would not be able to live this year.

The middle-aged man who was dozing off had already woken up, and when he saw that the zipper of his briefcase had been unzipped, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and after knowing what was going on from other passengers, his eyes were also full of gratitude when he looked at Xiaoyu.

After everyone dispersed, Xiao Yu and the two sat down again, Da Niu suddenly said that this time he really had a stomachache, got up and went to the toilet, Xiao Yu was idle, and talked with the middle-aged man.

"Little brother, thank you so much, I won't tell you, I have 200,000 yuan in this briefcase, if it is stolen, I will go bankrupt!" The middle-aged man whispered to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, "This is what I should do, uncle, what are you doing with so much cash with you?" How unsafe! ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, "I don't want to either!" The company let our salesman come back the sales arrears of the customer years ago, otherwise there is no year-end bonus, I came out a month ago, yesterday with the customer to drink until two o'clock in the morning, this is the money back, the bank closed during the Spring Festival, I have no place to save money, I had to come back with cash. ”

Xiao Yu also sighed in his heart, this debt collection work is not easy to do, seeing that this middle-aged man's face is blue, it is obviously caused by excessive fatigue, no wonder he started to doze off as soon as he got in the car.

The two chatted for a while, and exchanged their names, the middle-aged man's surname is Chen, he is a salesman of Neihuang County Medicinal Materials Company, and he has been running to Shanghai and several cities around it all the year round, and has worked in the company for more than ten years, which is also considered an old qualification.

Xiaoyu also told him about his situation, and found that the two of them had the same destination for this trip, both of which were Neihuang County, and the middle-aged man was generous and authentic, and their company said that if they got the money back, they could call a car back in Zhengzhou, and the fare company would reimburse them, so Xiaoyu and the two of them could go with him, which was convenient and fast.

Xiao Yu thought about it for a while, and originally planned to take a long-distance bus to Neihuang after arriving in Zhengzhou, but now that it is free, of course it is good, looking at this old Chen is also an honest person, so he agreed.

In fact, Lao Chen also has his own little abacus in his heart, there are a lot of road bandits in Henan, and it is not safe for him to bring so much money, just now I saw that Xiaoyu is extraordinary, and the big bull is tall and big, let the two of them go together, which is equivalent to two more bodyguards, why not?
