Chapter 136: Petty Traders
The green tin train, with black smoke rising from the top of the front of the locomotive, whined and pulled a long sound, slowly drove into the station from the north.
The platform is not very long, and some of the train cars are outside the platform.
The crowd began to surge when they saw the train entering the station.
Everyone is in a hurry to be the first to get on the bus.
"Don't worry! You can go up. ”
"Don't cross the yellow line."
The conductor held a big horn and kept shouting, but unfortunately few people listened.
The train has moved into one end of the platform, and the speed is getting slower and slower.
On the two-meter-high platform, people carrying large bags and small wraps are looking in all directions, looking for which carriage is more empty.
Some people moved forward, some people went backwards, and between pushing and shoving, An Ning dragged An Guoming to death.
"Second brother, you follow me, don't be lost."
The big man An Guoming couldn't cry or laugh, but he still followed An Ning obediently.
This posture, his physique, really can't squeeze through.
An Ning dragged An Guoming, and he didn't look for the empty carriage, just looked at which one was the closest, which one was which.
The two, An Ning opened the road in front, An Guoming dragged An Ning's schoolbag belt, followed the flow of people together, and got on the train.
Probably lucky, there are still empty seats in the two-person compartment.
"Little sister, there!"
An Guoming quickly found two vacant seats by the window, he definitely showed his fast speed, rushed over with an arrow step, put down the schoolbag, and shouted for peace.
An Ning saw that An Guoming had already sat down, but she was not in a hurry.
When she came, she still had the heart to ask questions.
"Second brother, are you exercising?"
"Of course, I do it every day."
"Not bad."
An Ning praised it sincerely and put the schoolbag on the seat.
An Guoming put his own backpack on the shelf, and An Ning's backpack was placed in the middle of the two people.
"Where are you sitting?"
"By the window."
An Ning wanted to see the scenery outside the window, but An Guoming naturally had no opinion.
The brother and sister sat down, and An Ning had time to ask: "Don't you have to sit according to the ticket?" ”
"No, the halfway train, not the starting station."
An Ning nodded and looked out the window.
At this time, there are still many people outside, constantly getting on the bus.
Not only that, but there are also many small vendors with a flat plank hanging from their chests.
The mouth kept shouting, twist steamed buns, flower rolls, tea eggs and the like.
"Dangdang Dang"
There was a knock on the window next to An Ning, which was meant by a vendor asking her to open the window.
An Ning pushed up the window of the train, the lower half of the window was opened, and the vendor thanked An Ning.
"Thank you, thank you. This one is up to you. ”
In the palm of the peddler's hand was a candy fruit wrapped in candy wrapper, and he was thanking An Ning for opening the window.
"No need."
An Ning refused, sat in his seat, and watched the lively scene outside.
The vendor in front of the window began to shout.
People on the train are constantly coming to buy things.
An Guoming observed all this, and it was indeed right to go out.
A few minutes later, there were also vendors on the train, and when the vendors on the train appeared, the vendors in front of the window quickly collected their things and prepared to leave.
An Ning analyzed that this sale was probably two groups of people.
This guy on the train is obviously even more powerful.
"It's you again! I don't care about you! ”
A person outside saw the vendor in front of Anning's window and shouted, which frightened the hawker, but even so, he did not forget to protect his goods.
The peddler turned around, trying to run in a panic, but the moment he turned around, he didn't look at the road.
"Ah——-h
The gap between the train and the platform was huge, and he stepped on one foot in the air, and he looked like he was about to fall into it.
An Ning leaned sideways, her arm stretched out first, and grabbed the vendor's arm, and her body followed her out of the window.
At this time, the hawker looked panicked.
"Thank you, thank you... Don't let go. ”
"Don't let go."
The hawker's nervous voice trembled, and all his hope was placed on the calm-eyed little girl in front of him.
"Don't worry."
An Ning exerted force, and the vendor was pulled up vertically by her.
The peddler's two feet continued to test in the air, and finally reached the edge of the platform, he landed on his toes, and his two hands pushed the body of the train, standing firmly.
The moment the hawker stood firm, the staff at the train station, as well as the person who had just shouted, rushed over.
The staff only felt that the breath they were holding was put down, and the person who shouted was no longer fierce, but the tone was still very angry.
"Let's go, don't let me see you again."
The peddler nodded and bowed to the shouters.
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving."
The peddler turned around, looked at An Ning, and picked up all the goods he still had on the board.
"Thank you, thank you."
An Ning did not refuse the hawker's thanks, accepted what he had sent, and the vendor smiled at An Ning and left with his plank.
"Woo ———"
The train is leaving.
The vendors on the train all got off the train, and there were many people by the window, buying things and collecting money in a hurry.
The train gradually moved, and besides, the sound became faster and faster, and the speed slowly increased.
Tranquility pulls down the window and closes it.
In the north in late October, the weather is very cold, and the speech is full of white haze.
"They don't even need tickets."
"Huh?"
An Ning turned his head and looked at An Guoming who was speaking.
An Guoming pointed to the things on the small table in front of An Ning and said, "These things don't need bills." ”
"It's true that you don't want it, what does the second brother want to eat?"
"Don't eat it, eat it yourself."
An Guoming didn't take anything, stared at the things on the table and asked, "Little sister, do you think the vendor who sold things just now is pitiful?" ”
An Ning tilted his head and shook.
"I don't think that the business here should be given to a specific group of people, and these people can pay a certain price to do this business, and he can join, but I think it should be because the profit is not as high as doing it himself, so I see the stitches to sell things."
"He knows the pros and cons, and he has made a choice that is beneficial to himself, so why should I sympathize?"
"You're right."
An Guoming didn't ask any more, with such tranquility, he could rest assured that she would go to the south by herself.
The speed of the train had been fully raised, and An Ning leaned against the window and watched the scenery for a while.
However, after leaving the city, most of them are barren, gray fields, with the occasional few houses or a village.
The scenery is about the same, and after looking at the tranquility for a while, I lost interest, took out a book from my school bag, and turned it page by page.
After about two hours of train travel, An Guoming got up and went to the toilet.
As soon as he left, a man sat down.
An Ning closed the book in his hand and said, "There is someone here, he went to the toilet." ”
"I'll just sit for a while, and I'll leave for a while."
