Because of the delay, K20 arrived in Yekaterinburg at around 5 p.m. Moscow time, the city named after Empress Catherine I, the most important hub in the Siberian Plain, so it will take 25 minutes to stop here.

During World War II, it was once operated by the Soviet Union as a mountain town, so it was also a Russian energy gathering center and industrial center.

The train slowly stopped, Xie Minyun moved his eyes back from the window, looked at the time on his phone, and then looked up at Cheng Mo and asked, "Do you want to go to the dining car to eat?"

"No, I'll get out of the car and go shopping..... You're in the room, close the door and don't run around....." Cheng Mo stood up.

"You can't catch the car, right?" It was rare that Xie Minyun didn't say no to Cheng Mo's decision, and it seemed that Cheng Mo's uneasiness also affected her.

"I'll go down for fifteen minutes. Cheng Mo said while putting on his shoes.

"Then you should also pay attention to safety. Xie Minyun watched Cheng Mo leave, this kind of gaze revealed a rare tenderness, but unfortunately Cheng Mo didn't pay attention.

Cheng Mo walked out of the door with an "um", and when he heard Xie Minyun inserting the bolt, he walked towards the door of the train, this time he was not alone in this corridor, he saw a person in the corridor of the No. 16 carriage for the first time, and it was an Asian.

The man walking in front of him was wearing a pink and white two-piece T-shirt, and there were a lot of colors on the jeans, which was a trace of deliberately raising cattle, and the average Chinese person would not raise jeans, and the man's hair was very long, but it was very layered, unlike Cheng Mo, which was messy.

Cheng Mo judged from the dress and hairstyle that the other party was not a Chinese, but a Japanese.

The man heard footsteps and the sound of the door closing and glanced back at Cheng Mo, then pushed the door and walked into the junction of the carriage, Cheng Mo watched the man's back disappear into the window of the door, and then looked at the sides of his and Xie Minyun's room, 39-40 and 43-44 boxes, as always, there was no movement.

More than a day had passed, and there seemed to be no one on either side, and if it hadn't been for the thermal imaging of the carrier last night, he would have thought that the two boxes were empty.

As for the Japanese man who got off the train just now, Cheng Mo guessed that it was a 36-35 private room, and if it was a little earlier, he should get off at the junction of carriages 16 to 15, rather than at the junction of carriages 16 to 17.

Cheng Mo walked off the train, Yekaterinburg platform is still standing a lot of Russians waiting to sell caviar and smoked fish to passengers, in addition to selling snacks, there are a lot more Russian aunts than other platforms Yekaterinburg There are many Russian aunts carrying various Russian special toys along the platform called *** such as nesting dolls, and the mascot of the Russian World Cup, the Siberian Plain wolf Zabi Vaca, these gadgets are quite popular, Cheng Mo saw that many people bought them.

Cheng Mo is naturally not interested, although he likes to watch football very much, but for the mascot can remember the name of this kind of thing, thanks to his good memory, unfortunately the World Cup final Argentina vs France held at the Luzhniki Stadium on July 15, he is in Germany, assuming that he will definitely buy a scalper ticket in Moscow to see the scene.

On the day of the final, he was watching the game in the hotel, but unfortunately Germany lost to France in the semi-finals, while Italy lost to Argentina, I don't know if this is a fascist curse......

He remembers that in the end, the Argentines lost 1-2 to France, and the king of the plum ball fell to his knees on the green field and left sad tears, and the whole world cried with him, saying that he was a tragic hero. The next day, the world's newspapers and social networks were talking about Messi, but the French team was not mentioned. Cheng Mo didn't understand that Messi, as a winner in life, was just missing a World Cup title, where was he sad? He was much more successful than the vast majority of ordinary people, where did he need others to grieve for him?

It's a really strange thing.

Cheng Mo walked along the platform, not finding a single red dot along the way, no doubt all Ouroboros owners knew that something would happen after Yekaterinburg, so everyone waited in silence, like sharks sneaking in the deep sea.

If Shirkov is a cicada that wants the golden cicada to come out of its shell, then the Russian gangster is the praying mantis, and all the Ouroboros holders are orioles.....

When he walked to the middle of the train, Cheng Mo saw a lot of people wearing vests and tattoos standing on the platform talking and smoking, these people are not big shoulders and round waists, but everyone is very fierce, and it will make people feel dangerous, Cheng Mo is not in the carrier state, and he doesn't dare to get too close, he can only look at it from a distance and continue to move forward.

When he walked to the locomotive, Cheng Mo finally saw a carrier, and he seemed to know that carrier, much like Napoleon VII's bodyguard - Maurice.

Because the distance is a little far, it is difficult to judge, Cheng Mo tangled for a while, and walked towards a Russian aunt who was selling dolls not far from the two, pretending to buy dolls, and approached a little closer to observe with his peripheral vision, it was indeed Morris.

Morris was talking to a fat man in a Russian iron uniform, judging from the uniform, the fat man was about the conductor, although Cheng Mo wanted to know what they were talking about, he didn't dare to get too close, he could only sigh.

In the end, in order not to arouse suspicion, Cheng Mo bought a World Cup mascot for 3,000 rubles from the Russian aunt, the 30-centimeter-tall Siberian Plain wolf Zabi Vaca, and then began to walk back.

Since Morris is on the K20, there is a good chance that Napoleon VII will also be there, and generally speaking, personal bodyguards will follow the master, requiring force and loyalty, rather than the ability to do things alone, so they will not be sent out to do things.

Cheng Mo's heart was even heavier, even Napoleon VII came in person, so the matter would definitely not end easily.

Walking all the way, Cheng Mo found that almost all the people in the carriage in front of him were gangsters, they were clearly grouped, the skinheads with two boots tattooed on their necks, the wolf gang with daggers tattooed on their shoulders, and the mafia with stars tattooed on their shoulder blades..... Cheng Mo could even see some people with pistols pinned to their waists......

On this train of more than 900 people, there were at least 200 gangsters. This is even worse news.

Cheng Mo walked back to the room, knocked on the door and entered, Xie Minyun looked at the Zabi Waka in Cheng Mo's hand, "Where did I buy it, I also want to buy one?"

"Do you like dolls?" Cheng Mo was a little surprised, he felt that Xie Minyun should be insulated from these childish things.

"Who said I liked it? I just want to help my friend bring one..."Xie Minyun subconsciously denied it, as if admitting that he liked dolls would be looked down upon.

In fact, Xie Minyun and Cheng meditated on the contrary, she has never had any resistance to plush things, she has no friends since she was a child, and the friends she can have are these plush toys, but even if they are these toys, her mother rarely buys her, giving her a piano, violin and various books, so that learning takes up her time, this kind of strict discipline and spur, until Xie Minyun's mother entered the political arena did not relax.

Cheng Mo said in his heart: "Will you have friends?" But this kind of thing can't be said, he handed the fried wolf in a white jersey to Xie Minyun and said, "It's for you." ”

"No, did you buy it on the platform? I'll buy it myself. Xie Minyun turned around to get his wallet.

Waiting for Xie Minyun to stand up, Cheng Mo stuffed Zabi Waka into Xie Minyun's arms, "I just bought it to cover up my tracks, I don't like it, take it! Don't waste it..... If you don't want me, I'll just throw it away...."

The trick that Xie Minyun used against Cheng Mo yesterday was returned by Cheng Mo today, but the two of them seem to still eat this set, maybe this is also a tacit understanding.

"I wanted to buy it when I was in Moscow, but I didn't expect to leave in .....such a hurry," Xie Minyun explained, hugging the fried wolf of husky gray.

"Senior sister, I really think it's better for you to get off now. Cheng Mo suddenly mentioned again that Xie Minyun should leave.

Xie Minyun grabbed Zabiwaka's two little paws with both hands and sat down, "I said, I will get off if you get off, since you have the courage and guts to stay in this car, I naturally have ......"

Cheng Mo sighed in his heart again, and could only pray that Li Jiting's arrangement would not be too outrageous.

It didn't take long for the train to start again, gradually leaving Yekaterinburg, the red light in the east slightly brightened the Iset, and the train officially crossed the Eurasian dividing line and entered the West Siberian plain.

Just as twilight fell, the sky was covered with dark blue clouds, only the place where the sun set was glowing red, as if it was God's eyes peeping at the people, suddenly passing the railway bridge, under the bridge flowed a bright river, reflecting the dark blue and crimson of the sky, the shore was quietly moored with ships, all kinds of cranes towered high, and there seemed to be a bridge in the distance, on which the lights were connected, like a string of white pearls......

That feeling is really quiet, serene and transparent.

Like the last quiet of a storm.

—————————

The train passed the Tyumen station at half past two in the evening and would reach Ishim at half past three in the morning, which was the most dangerous and difficult time for Cheng Mo, because his carrier would not be activated until half past four.

Cheng Mo watched Xie Minyun pull up the curtain in the middle, and said softly: "Senior sister, don't change pajamas, wear regular clothes, pants with belts, preferably the kind of clothes that can make you look fatter......"

"Is it that scary?"

"Be prepared. ”

Xie Minyun said "oh", but still followed Cheng Mo's suggestion, changed into a pair of jeans and a wide T-shirt, opened the curtain and asked, "Is this okay?"

Cheng Mo looked Xie Minyun up and down, shook his head helplessly, and said softly, "It's still too beautiful..... Is this your worst-looking outfit?"

"There's no worst thing to look at... I can only say that this is the most ordinary!"

Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Why don't you wear mine?"

"Yours?" Xie Minyun shook his head into a rattle.

"My clothes are all very clean..... Cheng Mo dragged his suitcase out, took a pair of his slacks, and took out a white shirt of his.

"It's not necessary, is it?"

"Trust me!" Cheng Mo handed the clothes to Xie Minyun and said lightly.

Xie Minyun didn't speak, took the clothes from Cheng Mo's hand, closed the curtain again, and changed his clothes. The nightlight glowed dimly, and the not-so-thick curtain reflected Xie Minyun's perfect body, which was really the most generous gift from the Creator, even if it was just a shadow, it was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.

Cheng Mo watched Xie Minyun's light black silhouette quietly follow her undressing movements, trembling, the sound of the clothes rubbing against her body was like a string of pleasant notes, gently scratching his eardrums, not in a tone, like the sound of flowers blooming, like the sound of young shoots breaking through the soil.

Cheng Mo was actually a little stupid at this moment, he experienced for the first time what is called hazy beauty, those small sounds and winding lines, growing rapidly in his heart, like vines wrapped around his heart, making his breathing a little rapid.....

The moment Xie Minyun opened the curtain, he had to hold his breath to calm his heartbeat.

"Is it better now?" Xie Minyun put on Cheng Mo's beige slacks and a white cotton shirt, which obviously didn't fit well, a little loose, but it still had a unique charm on Xie Minyun.

Cheng Mo looked at Xie Minyun and said helplessly: "This can only be the case." Then Cheng Mo handed his spare glasses to Xie Minyun.

Xie Minyun said: "I have glasses. ”

"I know! I'm ugly....."

Xie Minyun could only take it and put it on the bridge of his nose, Cheng Mo finally understood what it meant to be naturally beautiful and difficult to give up, so he could only say: "Do you know how to wear makeup? It's better to paint yourself ugly!"

Xie Minyun spread his hands, "I never wear makeup, I don't even prepare makeup, even if I need it occasionally, others help me make it." ”

"Forget it, forget it..... Turn off the lights, and if someone knocks on the door, don't panic, let me take care of it......"

Xie Minyun turned off the night light plugged in the socket, the room fell into darkness, Cheng Mo closed his eyes, and the sound of the train speeding made the room even quieter, and the slight shaking made people feel like they were at sea.

Neither of them actually had a way to sleep, but neither of them spoke, as if they were expecting the other to speak first......

However, he never spoke.

I don't know how long later, the radio of the train suddenly shouted, saying in Russian and English: "There is a wanted criminal hiding on the train, please open the door of the room and cooperate with the inspection....."

The broadcast was repeated three times, Xie Minyun and Cheng Mo both sat up from the bed, Xie Minyun turned on the light, turned his head and asked Cheng Mo, "Do you want to open the door?"

"Now that the radio is ringing, there's no way not to turn it on... I stood at the door and waited... What if something happens..."Before Cheng Mo's words fell, he saw Xie Minyun standing in front of him, still holding a knife in his hand.

A fruit knife.....
