Chapter 154: The Road to the West Begins

This year, Wang Defa's whole family feels as if everything revolves around Wang Chenglong.

As in previous years, Wang Chenglong didn't stay at home long after the New Year, so he went back to school. There are also a few of her own students waiting for her to make up for classes, and in addition, she is going out for internships, and the school also requires all graduates to arrive at the school in advance and conduct various pre-internship training.

When Gan Wenhu went home and returned to the provincial capital a few years ago, his mother immediately asked him how things were going with Jackie Chan, and Gan Wenhu told his mother about the matter, and his mother was relieved, as if he had completed a major life event.

On the first day of Wang Chenglong's return to school, Gan Wenhu invited him to the rental house, and the three of them had a reunion dinner. During the meal, Gan Wenhu's mother said the most that in the future, the affairs of two people should be discussed by two people, and they should accommodate each other and achieve each other. Gan Wenhu and Wang Chenglong nodded in agreement.

At the same time, they hope that all graduates can do a big job of "gathering is a fire, scattering is full of stars", and go away from home, in the internship position is not only an opportunity for themselves to acquire skills, but also an opportunity to show the image of the school, to win glory for their alma mater.

Wang Chenglong set off earlier than Gan Wenhu, and the three-day and two-night train was unimaginable for Wang Chenglong, who was far away. The luggage is very simple, a change of clothes by herself, daily necessities, and several books to pass the time on the road, among which the book "Life" written by Lu Yao is her favorite, when she was in high school, she was busy reading it again, and now when she is facing her life choice, she may feel different when she reads it again.

This is Wang Chenglong's first time taking a train, and the farthest place she is from home is the provincial capital, and there is only a shuttle bus, so she has no chance to take the train at all. During the school period, long vacations, short vacations, and various trips organized by classmates, many people just wanted to take the train, and Wang Chenglong never participated in it once.

Gan Wenhu helped Wang Chenglong carry the two bags from the school to the train station, and went to the ticket office to buy a platform ticket.

The music played on the radio on the platform was long and profound, and the atmosphere of parting was vividly rendered. The train sounded the whistle, and Gan Wenhu hurriedly lifted the two bags placed beside him, Wang Chenglong, to the car.

"Jackie Chan, when you arrive, you will call your home, leave your phone number, I know your home number, and your father will definitely tell me how to contact him." Gan Wenhu said.

"Okay, got it."

"This is the address of my internship school, I'll write it down for you, if you go there, if the school doesn't have a phone, you can write to me to this address, take it, don't lose it." Gan Wenhu handed the note he had folded a long time ago to Wang Chenglong.

The conductor was already shouting back and forth in the carriage for the relatives who gave them off to get off the train quickly, and the train was about to start. Gan Wenhu stayed until the last minute before getting off the train.

The slowly moving train pulled Wang Chenglong and began to move away from Gan Wenhu. At the beginning, Gan Wenhu could still trot to follow, and Wang Chenglong in the car kept waving to Gan Wenhu who was trotting through the window, asking him to go back quickly.

The speed of the train is getting faster and faster, and Gan Wenhu can't catch up anymore, standing in place and waving goodbye in the direction where the train is leaving.

When the train disappeared from Gan Wenhu's sight, he turned around and went back.

Wang Chenglong on the train, the sentimentality of parting was soon covered by the excitement of taking the train for the first time. Quickly disappearing into the scenery along the way, everything was so new to her.

Hu Yuting made a lot of food for Wang Chenglong in the restaurant that could be put on the road, and after the excitement of taking the train for the first time passed, Wang Chenglong sorted out his bag, looked at the so much food that Yuting brought, and opened it casually and took it out to cushion his already a little hungry stomach.

The train to the west took Wang Chenglong through one station after another, and this route to the western frontier of the motherland almost coincided with the Silk Road, passing through many cultural and economic towns on the Silk Road.

As long as the train stops at the station, Wang Chenglong will get off as soon as possible, even if it is just a few minutes with his feet on the platform, Wang Chenglong will excitedly tell himself that she has also been to these places.

The announcements on the train will be broadcast in advance before arriving at the station, so that passengers who need to get off the train are ready to get off the train in advance. Wang Chenglong and his classmates don't have to worry about taking the station at all, because when they get to school, it is almost the end of the train.

"Passengers, please note that when you get off the train at Dayumen Station ahead, please pack your luggage in advance and prepare to get off." The broadcast started repeating arrival alerts.

"Did you hear it, it's time to Yumen, it's the Yumen that 'the spring breeze doesn't pass the Yumen Pass'!" Some of my classmates said.

"It's that Jade Gate, if I stop at the station later, I must let my feet step on the land of Yumen, Jade Gate is the material of many literati and ink writers." Wang Chenglong said in the discussion of his classmates.

"That's it, that's it, let's all go down and feel it together later, and see if there is any spring breeze that can blow over."

After a screeching sound of brakes, the train slowly stopped, and Wang Chenglong and his classmates followed the passengers who got off the train to the platform together.

The platforms that pass all the way to the west are not big, and compared with the railway stations in the provincial capital, they are pitiful. Yumen Station is even smaller and smaller, there are no high-rise buildings to block the view, and the desolate Gobi Desert is rarely visited.

There is wind, not a spring breeze, the wind in the first month is still biting cold, and the train with its horn is already calling passengers to blow the wind on the platform.

"I heard that Yangguan is not far from Yumen Pass, and there are many literati who have been degraded as officials, and when they arrive at Yumen Pass and Yangguan, they can't help laughing. As soon as I left Yumen Station, it was even more difficult to meet another friend. A boy sighed when he got into the car.

"It's a long road, otherwise there wouldn't be a 'single-plank bridge you walk, I'll take my Yangguan Road'. I want to ask everyone, do you regret making such a choice? The other boy asked.

"No regrets!" Everyone answered almost in unison.

This kind of topic is basically initiated by boys, and the girls who travel with them, the farther the train goes, the more silent they become.

From the green on both sides of the train when you go out of the provincial capital, to the endless Gobi Desert as far as the eye can see, the girls say that they have no regrets, and the love of home in their hearts has become stronger and stronger as the road gets farther and farther.

It was only at this time that Wang Chenglong realized what it meant for him to make such a decision, and at this moment, the journey of this word internship has not even been completed.

After the boys finished talking about these two topics, they seemed to sense that the girls' emotions were a little wrong, and they all began to be silent or shift their focus, and gradually, they quieted down.

Wang Chenglong sat in his seat, picked up the book "Life" and read it.
