The train traveled south in the wilderness. Fang Wei, who was sitting on the train, looked out the window - the sun that first appeared on the horizon was gorgeous and colorful, dyeing the earth golden; The rolling mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, appear and disappear from time to time, like a fairyland; Smoke drifted over the village, like white clouds, wandering slowly; Flocks of birds flew around the village, hovering in the air, chirping and chirping, as if calling to the early risers to go to work in the fields; The fields are green, and in the sun, the wheat seedlings rise and fall with the wind, like the rippling waves of the sea, as far as the eye can see.

In the carriage, the passengers spoke in a tone of voice from all over the world, and they felt very fresh. The sound of train attendants pushing trolleys, the chattering of passengers, the noise of children, the chaos, the noise, a bit like a rural market. Some people who had just woken up and were still asleep, holding scrubbing utensils, dragged their tired bodies to the toilet of the train. The turbid air in the carriage makes people a little breathless.

Fang Wei stood up, walked to the junction of the carriages, lit a cigarette and smoked it, and was leisurely swallowing clouds and spitting fog. Suddenly, the conductor shouted; "Check the ticket, check the ticket, please take out the ticket."

Fang Wei took out the ticket and handed it to the conductor who walked in front of her, she glanced at it and returned it to him.

At that time, the management was relatively lax, not as strict as it is now. It's easy to get on the train without a ticket.

Before the train reaches the end of the line, it is necessary to check the ticket several times, and when encountering the ticket check, the people who did not buy the ticket, in order to prevent being found out, some people hide in the toilet, some people lie under the seats, or use other methods to mix up.

There are also a few unlucky people who were caught and obediently went to make up the tickets. When paying the ticket, no matter which station you get on from, even if you only mix one station, the fare must be calculated from the departure station.

There are always some people in society who have a fluke mentality and want to get some light in everything. Take the tolerance and kindness of others as fools, and don't want to pay for the train.

Most of the people who got on the train were short-distance passengers who took two or three stops, and there were a few people who really didn't have the money to buy tickets.

If you don't have a ticket, you can easily find out, and you will be taken to the dining car to make up the ticket and reprimanded. The result is; After taking two or three stops and buying a long-distance ticket, it was both embarrassing and eye-catching, and the gains outweighed the losses.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Several conductors were sandwiched between the front and back, and a young man of about twenty years old walked past Fang Wei.

Fang Wei followed the sound and looked at the young man, he blushed, embarrassed to lower his head, and was pushed forward.

Fang Wei looked up and down at this young man who was not a few years old from his age—shabby clothes but very clean, with a white and clean face, revealing an embarrassment that was not deeply involved in the world and immature. A pair of big eyes, bright and wooden, ashamed and self-ashamed.

The moment the eyes of the two met, his helpless and overwhelmed expression, Fang Wei felt sad in his heart.

Fang Wei looked at the young man, who was pushed forward by the conductor, and had an indescribable feeling, judging from the young man's clothes, he came out of the countryside to work.

Fang Wei knew that most rural people were poor and had problems surviving, and they had no money to buy tickets.

Fang Wei thought of himself, who was also born in a peasant family, knew the hardships of rural life, and also knew that rural people were timid and afraid of things, and they would not buy tickets as a last resort.

Fang Wei kept watching the young man disappear at the end of the carriage, and he was still looking thoughtfully at the direction in which he disappeared.

At this time, a few young people came from another carriage, stood in the middle of the aisle, glanced at both sides of the carriage a few times, and then approached a sleeping passenger, skillfully put his hand into the pocket of the sleeping passenger, took out a ball of things, and quickly put it into his trouser pocket.

Then, get up and look for your next prey. He was followed by a few people, as if they were in a group, and almost stole all the people sleeping in the carriage.

It is generally believed that thieves steal things behind people's backs and not let others find out. Today's behavior of this group of people is beyond people's understanding, and it is a public robbery to steal without scruples and in full view of everyone.

These young men were five big and three rough, and they looked fierce, and they stopped a carriage of people. The surrounding passengers, looking at them expressionlessly, quickly turned their faces to avoid when they met a few fierce eyes, probably frightened by a few guys, and they didn't even have the courage to look at them more, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

Fang Wei is more than one meter tall, and his eyes reveal firmness and confidence. The thief was stealing unscrupulously, he saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart because he had studied martial arts for a few years. Dark passages; It is so lawless that he dares to treat the passengers in the whole carriage as lambs to the slaughter in broad daylight. The more Fang Wei thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but 'anger rose from his heart', and evil was born to the side of his guts.

When several thieves passed by, he seized the opportunity, grabbed the wrist of one of them, like a leader, pulled hard against himself, and said; "You are so lawless that you dare to steal openly. Quickly return the stolen things to others, or you will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

The thief was stunned for a moment when he caught him, and it didn't take two seconds to react, seeing that Fang Wei was alone, he didn't take him in his eyes at all, and immediately showed a fierce appearance, and said viciously; "You don't want to live, dare to take care of Lao Tzu's affairs, let go of your hand quickly, otherwise, your life will be in jeopardy."

This group of thieves has been stealing on the train for a while, and they have never met someone as bold as Fang Wei who dares to take the initiative to argue with them. Occasionally, I met people who resisted and meddled in things, and after a few symbolic struggles or a few verbal cannons, they fell silent, and the end was a violent beating.

Generally, people who go out by train don't know each other, and most of them won't help when they encounter sudden difficulties, so they fuel the arrogance of the bad guys.

Thieves can achieve their goals by ganging up, relying on the strength of the crowd, bluffing, preemptive, and then showing ruthlessness.

This gang of thieves has been stealing on trains for a long time, and they have summed up their experience; Relying on the large number of people, showing the knife when necessary, revealing the fierce appearance, coupled with shouting loudly, 'People block and kill, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha', you can bluff people. If they really want to kill someone, they don't have the guts.

Thieves take advantage of people's cowardice and try to show the appearance of murderous evil gods, and people will naturally retreat.

These guys, who had never met anyone who dared to block their financial path, and dared to teach them a lesson, suddenly became angry, and several thieves approached Fang Wei and shouted loudly; "You kid don't want to live anymore, dare to take care of Lao Tzu's affairs, I have to pick your skin today."

Several travelers standing next to Fang Wei were so frightened that they dispersed in fright when they saw the thief's menacing appearance.

The leading thief was pinched by Fang Wei's wrist and couldn't move. One of the thieves punched Fang Wei in the face, and Fang Wei's left arm was raised, blocking it at once. At the same time, grabbing the leader's right hand and exerting force, the kid was in unbearable pain, and he knelt down on the spot with a grin.

The thief thought to himself, let alone beating people, judging from the strength of reaching out and grabbing his wrist, today is a hard stubble, the hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, he first obeys softness and then speaks, and keeps begging for mercy in his mouth; "Big brother, it's a little bit of a pain, I have something to say, something to say."

When several accomplices saw the boss kneeling down and begging for mercy, they were stunned and didn't know what to do. Fang Wei pointed to the thief who stole and said; "Return the stolen money to others, apologize, I will let him go and give you a way out, otherwise, I will hand you over to the police to deal with, do you believe it or not?"

After saying that, his right hand increased his strength again, and the leader who was kneeling on the ground in pain turned pale, turned back to his accomplices, and said; "Did you ** hear that? Don't go quickly, do as the eldest brother says. Big brother, I admit my mistake, can you let go of your hand? ”

Fang Wei grabbed his hand and didn't let go, looking at returning the stolen things to the passengers, then let go of him and said; "Get out, why don't you get out of here and wait for the reward?"

The guy got up from the ground, rubbed his wrist a few times, shook his almost numb arm, and clenched his hands into fists; "Brother, with you, we will have a meeting later."

After speaking, he led a few accomplices away, and some of them were not convinced, and looked back at Fang Wei viciously from time to time, whispering something in his mouth.

Fang Wei watched them go, and thought to himself, it was dangerous enough just now, the space in the carriage was small, and if he really started, he might not be able to take advantage of it, and he might be injured.

At that time, they were basically steam green trains, with more stops, chaotic management, and more thieves on the train.

Thieves have unwritten rules that they cannot cross the line, for example, between coastal cities, there are many trains running, each train has a fixed gang, and other thieves are not allowed to steal on the train.

Of course, there are also unruly, there are many routes in wealthy areas, large passenger flows, many rich people, and naturally there are many thieves. It is not uncommon for foreign gangs and local gangs to fight each other.

Some gangs with many people who can fight and kill, and rely on strength to seize other people's territory, it will not be long before they are driven away by even more ferocious than them. The thief industry is the real jungle society, relying on fists to speak, and the strong are kings.

"If you need a meal, please come to the dining car." The shout of the waiter in the dining car recalled Fang Wei's thoughts, and also woke up his hungry stomach, he felt a little hungry.

Fang Wei returned to his seat, took the clothes hanging on the coat hook, put on his shirt and said hello to the neighbor seat, and walked towards the dining car.

There were so many passengers on this train, and there were many people without seats standing in the aisle, so Fang Wei took a lot of effort to squeeze through a few carriages and come to the dining car.

Fang Wei walked into the dining car and glanced at it, there were not many people dining, he found a vacant seat to sit down, picked up the menu, at this time, there was an intermittent reprimand, Fang Wei thought it was a quarrel, didn't care, and continued to look at the menu.

Fang Wei was asking his companion at the next table; "What did that guy do? The police kept reprimanding him. ”

His companion answered him; "I don't know, they were there when we came, why don't I go and see, what's going on?"

The man at the next table said; "Don't go, it's nothing to do with us, don't be bored, cause trouble, and delay our trip."

Out of curiosity, Fang Wei stood up, pretended to pick up the food, walked to the dining car bar and stopped, listening to what they had to say.

Fang Wei heard the train police shouting a reprimand; "If you're young, you're not afraid of being embarrassed, why don't you buy a ticket for the ride?"

The man remained silent, bowing his head and saying nothing. No matter how the train police reprimanded, they just didn't speak, and the police became even more angry, slapping the table and saying loudly; "Why don't you answer?"

"I don't have the money, I can't afford to buy a ticket." The young man raised his head slightly and whispered.

When he raised his head, Fang Wei saw his face clearly, it was the young man he had seen in the carriage just now, who had been reprimanded by the police like this. Fang Wei stood beside him, silently listening to the conversation between the two people.
