After two days of autumn rain, the gray stone streets are wet with a little fallen leaves, and the cold autumn wind shuttles through the streets and alleys.

There was no rain and the sky was clear, and the sky was pressed with thick white clouds, making the sky a little dark.

The huge capital railway station, the crowd is like dense ants shuttling inside, and the iron train like a steel snake is constantly coming in and out, and there is a huge passenger flow every moment of the day.

At the door of the train station, Xu Fugui was wearing a straight Mao suit, wearing a large silver watch on his left wrist and a wicker box in his right hand, saying goodbye to Xu's father and mother.

The rest of the family went to work, went to school to school, and the two old men were idle, so they simply sent him to the train station, just to familiarize themselves with the environment of the capital.

"Dad, do you remember how to take the bus when you go back?" Xu Fugui asked.

After living in the capital for a while, Xu's father was in a good state of mind, mainly because he got acquainted with a group of old men, and he had more fun every day, he waved his hand impatiently, "Remember, it's boring all day long." ”

Xu Fugui was not angry, turned his head and said to Xu's mother with a hippie smile: "Mother, don't miss me too much when your son is gone." ”

Mother Xu patted his hand with disgust on the surface, but she smiled in her heart, she has spoiled this son since she was a child, and half of the reason is that Fugui speaks well, especially to please her.

She smoothed the folds on Fugui's tunic and said with satisfaction: "My son is the spirit." ”

After greeting for a while, Xu Fugui raised his wrist to look at the time, said goodbye to them, turned around and walked into the train station, and came to the platform to wait.

After a while, a green train spewed white smoke into the station, and after all the people at the station got off, Xu Fugui came to the sleeper with a train ticket.

Putting his luggage away, he half-lay on the bed, yawned, and took out an English book, but he didn't bother to read the words in his head, but looked out the window boredly.

For some reason, it's interesting to see life through the window, some people are in a hurry, some people are confused, some people are scrappy, some people are sad, and everyone seems to have many stories.

Just when he was distracted, a white-haired old man came into the sleeper compartment where he was located, Xu Fugui subconsciously glanced at it and got up to greet him, "Old man Zhang?" Where are you going? ”

The person who came was Zhang Huaigu, a well-known Chinese medicine doctor, who also checked the pulse of their family two days ago.

Zhang Huaigu's memory is obviously very good, he recognized him at a glance, and nodded with a smile, "It's you, the one who doesn't want to be a child." ”

Xu Fugui's face was full of black lines, and he said seriously: "Old man, it's not fun to say this, I have two babies." ”

Zhang Huaigu smiled heartily, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously, I'm like this, I can't control my mouth." ”

Xu Fugui shook his head, he liked his temper very much, and tentatively stretched out his hand, "I'll help you put your luggage away?" ”

Zhang Huaigu gave it to him generously, Xu Fugui took it and put it away, lay back on the bed, and subconsciously took out a cigarette.

Zhang Huaigu shook his head and gestured to the dry tobacco in his hand, "I can't get used to your smoke." ”

Xu Fugui didn't ask much, looked out the window again, and found that there was no one left, so he could only pay attention to the English books and periodicals in his hand.

He plans to make up for his English during this time and go abroad to minimize communication barriers.

Zhang Huaigu lit a dry cigarette, learned that he was half lying on the bed, and asked leisurely: "Little brother, where are you going?" ”

"A business trip to the South."

Zhang Huaigu snorted, "It seems that you are still a big leader, you go on a business trip so far away, and you read foreign language in your hand, can you understand it?" It's not ordinary. ”

Xu Fugui changed the topic, "Old man, where are you going?" ”

Zhang Huaigu didn't hide it, "When I go back to my hometown, a friend is no longer good, so I will give him a ride." ”

Meeting is fate, the two chatted a few more words, found that they had a good appetite for each other, and talked about more topics.

Mr. Zhang talked more about the cases he encountered in his practice of medicine, as well as the various sayings of traditional Chinese medicine, and Xu Fugui listened to it with relish.

However, after all, the old man is not very energetic, and after talking for about half an hour, he feels a little lacking in energy.

Xu Fugui offered to rest first, so Mr. Zhang went to sleep directly, while Xu Fugui turned on the lamp, looked at English books and periodicals carefully, and took out an English dictionary to translate words that he didn't know.

Mr. Zhang didn't take long before he got off the station, and in the next few days and nights, Xu Fugui spent all his time on the train, and he changed several times along the way.

To be honest, he is not interested in taking the train at all now, and he was full of interest when he first took it, but now he is even a little bored with taking it a few more times.

Finally, the train stopped in a coastal city to the south.

As soon as he got out of the train station, a heat wave hit the pavement, and a thin layer of sweat instantly appeared on the tip of his nose, and he hurriedly took off his Mao jacket.

The further you go, the more you can feel the unique atmosphere of the area.

Pedestrians on the streets are generally dark-skinned, and there is a fishy smell in the air from time to time, and the heavy moisture envelops the whole body, making people feel stuffy and wet.

The local dialect seemed to be Cantonese, and he couldn't understand a word, which made his head big for a while.

And the people around him also frequently turned their attention to him, after all, in the crowd of people who generally wore coarse undershirts, he was wearing a white shirt, stepping on leather shoes, and the silver watch on his wrist reflected a dazzling white light in the sunlight, all of which were different from the others.

Xu Fugui could even see a few hints of malice flashing in the eyes of some people, obviously making up his mind about him, an outsider.

Xu Fugui didn't dare to be careless, so he picked a place with a lot of people, came to the state-run hotel, and after some difficult communication, he finally ordered a good meal.

But when the food was served, he was a little dumbfounded, these meals were all light, and there was not a single red pepper in sight.

After taking a bite, it is still sweet, and my heart is suddenly full of weirdness, and the food culture here is also very unique.

However, Xu Fugui still insisted on finishing the meal, and after eating, he found a few young people who seemed to be unprofessional, and spent a few yuan to get out of the smuggling doorway.

These gangsters took them to find their boss, and their boss introduced him to the snakehead, and Xu Fugui spent a lot of intermediary fees on the way.

The snake head looked at him seriously, and the fox asked, "You can't be a spy sent by the government, right?" ”

Xu Fugui's face was full of black lines, "I'm not." ”

"How do you prove you're not?"

"I am the son of Master Xu in Yunxi County, and my Xu family is a well-known big landlord, if you don't believe it, you can inquire." Xu Fugui said half-truthfully.

The head of the snake didn't ask much, just ask casually, even if it was a spy, they had more than one den.

He said: "At seven o'clock tonight, wait at the door of the state-run hotel."
