Chapter 57: What I Saw on the Train

Standing in front of Kyoto Railway Station, looking at the endless crowd in the square, Xu Zhengdao, who was carrying a homemade canvas bag, also looked very relaxed. But I feel a pity in my heart, there is no camera to take pictures of the current appearance of the train station.

This has to be filmed, and when you look at it in a few years, it will feel precious!

Xu Zhengdao, who had greeted the village party secretary and also opened a letter of introduction, left the village without alarming anyone under the pretext of visiting the patient. For the village party secretary, how could he refuse to open a letter of introduction?

After checking the ticket and entering the waiting hall, looking at the waiting hall that was already full of people, he seemed to experience once again the taste of going out to work and waiting for the bus in his previous life. But unlike in his previous life, in this life, he no longer has to take an ordinary car.

The money itself is not bad, plus there are several letters of introduction from the uncle with a relatively high level in advance, and there is definitely no problem in buying a hard sleeper ticket. Even his hard sleeper ticket was not bought at the train station in person.

The purpose of this is also very simple, I am afraid that the old fox will follow the letter of introduction and find him. The reason why I opened a few more letters of introduction from the unit was that I felt that this would play a role in fishing in troubled waters.

Perhaps because of the spring breeze that has been reopened in the south, it has begun to blow lightly across the country, and some passengers can also be seen in Kyoto Railway Station, dressed differently from ordinary people. On the other hand, Xu Zhengdao is also wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and black pants at the moment.

This kind of dress is common among train station passengers. Coupled with a little disguise, he appeared in front of the passengers now, although he still looked young, but at least it made people think that he was in his twenties.

Unlike other passengers who were anxiously waiting for the train to depart, Xu Zhengdao watched these scenes in front of him with great interest. Compared with watching film and television dramas in his previous life, at this moment, he is personally integrated into this era, and the feeling is naturally very different from watching TV.

Every time he mixes in the crowd, Xu Zhengdao feels that his emotions are very complicated. He is not only an ordinary member of the crowd, but also a stranger in the crowd. This complex emotion may also be the reason why he is reluctant to stay in a crowded place.

"Alas, this is a disease, it must be cured! The problem is, even if I am a skilled doctor, I can't heal myself! ”

Xu Zhengdao, who secretly sighed in his heart, understood that this kind of complex emotion might only be affected by him. But in the eyes of other passengers, he is no different from other passengers waiting for the bus, so naturally he will not pay much attention.

When the radio finally came, a notice came that the train was about to depart, and the crowd, which was still orderly, instantly became noisy. Compared to many people in the inland of the future, they will start to go south or north, and not many people come to Kyoto today.

On the contrary, many Kyoto people who are the "prophets of spring river plumbing ducks" began to step on the southbound train, just to go south to find opportunities to make a fortune. At present, many of the trendy clothing and electronic products sold in Kyoto are almost all shipped from the south.

These trendy goods from the south can enter Kyoto, and it is these traders who choose to go south, and they work tirelessly to return these cheap goods from the south to Kyoto, and then sell them at a high price to earn the difference.

"Is the era of the fallen master about to begin?"

For these people who have tasted the sweetness from the mode of transportation from the south to the north. Although such a journey is very hard, the high rewards still make them happy. What is a little bit of hard work compared to poverty?

What's more, in this day and age, many people don't even see a train, let alone take a train. Perhaps because of this, many people who have never been out of the house admire those who dare to go south and north.

After following the crowd, he also found it quite interesting to relive the taste of going out to work and taking the train in his previous life. Unlike those passengers who sit in ordinary cars, because he buys a sleeper car, he doesn't have to squeeze on the train.

Recalling that in later life, I worked in other places and rushed home by train during the Spring Festival to celebrate the New Year, and that scene was called truly terrifying. Now, people who have never seen this kind of car ride may find it so hard. But after more experience, I feel accustomed to it.

found the sleeper he bought, threw the canvas bag on the bunk, and turned over the seats in the aisle very skillfully. Once you're seated, quietly look out the window and wait for the train to start. This kind of green train, he has also been on it a few times in his previous life.

But now that he is on the train, it is almost conceivable that he will have to wait a long time when he arrives at the terminal. Compared with those passengers who buy hard seats and standing tickets, he is undoubtedly much more comfortable when he has a sleeper to rest.

Just buy a hard sleeper ticket, and each ticket price is also quite more expensive than a hard seat ticket. As for the train ticket he bought, the ticket price is nearly 70 yuan, and in today's era, the fare alone will make many ordinary people intimidating.

When thinking about these past events, many passengers have also walked into the hard sleeper car one after another. Unlike Xu Zhengdao, who has already found a place to sit, these people are all older. Many of them are carrying briefcases in their hands.

Not surprisingly, these people are all public officials who have gone out on errands. In the entire carriage, there are not many female passengers, old and young passengers. It can also be seen from this that in this era, not everyone dares to take the train alone.

Because he bought the upper berth, and he didn't look very old, the passengers in the same carriage as him were also curious and asked: "Young man, did you buy a ticket for the upper berth?" Where do you get off? ”

"Terminal, Flower City!"

When someone asks, he will also have a polite chat. But more time, he sat quietly in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the window. But everyone who enters the carriage will be judged by his mental power.

After confirming that there were no vigilant and suspicious people in the carriage, he immediately regained his mental strength and honestly stayed in front of the window to enjoy the scenery. Until the train slowly left the platform, he still sat in his seat and did not get up.

When a passenger asked him about the purpose of his trip, Xu Zhengdao also said politely: "Visit relatives!" ”

Seeing that Xu Zhengdao was not interested in chatting, these public officials who liked to do homely things gradually lost their interest in chatting with him. With no one to talk to, he wasn't bored, on the contrary, he was happy to be quiet.

Xu Zhengdao, who felt the speed of the train and the speed of the bullet train and high-speed rail in later generations, was also speechless in his heart: "It is said that it is an express train, but I am afraid that the speed at this time has not exceeded 80 kilometers per hour!" ”

Knowing the current speed of the train, it is indeed a fast speed in this day and age. But compared with the 300 kilometers per hour bullet trains in later generations, the current speed of these trains is indeed a bit too slow.

Fortunately, Xu Zhengdao was not in a hurry, and when the meal was ordered, he either went to the dining car to eat, or when the train stopped, he went to the platform to buy a boxed lunch. In the evening, like the other passengers, he lay quietly in his bunk to rest.

Even if he didn't feel sleepy, he still lay quietly until the next day, when passengers got up to wash, he also took the toiletries he carried, ran to the washstand at the junction of the carriage to wash briefly, and then sat in front of the window to enjoy the scenery.

When the train finally arrived at the terminal station, Xu Zhengdao, who was carrying a canvas travel bag, also mixed in the crowd out of the station and followed the mighty crowd out of the train station. The people who didn't bother with the exit to solicit passengers for food and lodging walked straight to the outside of the train station.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar city, Xu Zhengdao also said with interest: "Although I spent two years in Huacheng in my previous life, the current Huacheng really feels strange compared to the city in my memory!" ”

Having said that, Xu Zhengdao still decided to stay in Flower City for one night. At that time, I will go around the lively neighborhood of Huacheng, and wait until tomorrow to buy a ticket to take the bus to the Special Economic Zone. Even if he spent a few years in the SAR in his previous life, there was not much information he could refer to.

It is now 81 years, and the earliest time he came to Nanling to work was in the early 20000s, a difference of 20 years. It is in these 20 years that Nanling and the Special Economic Zone have started to develop rapidly. Isn't it normal for him to feel strange?

On the contrary, it is Xiangjiang that he is going to next, and he really hasn't been there in his previous life. Thankfully, Nanling is also good at the popular vernacular of Xiangjiang. This means that if you occasionally pretend to be a local, you probably won't be exposed!
