Chapter 39 The Train Without Destination 2
Chapter 39 The Train Without Destination 2
The train doors opened slowly, and all passengers boarded the train.
This is an old-fashioned green leather train. As soon as you walk in, you can smell a strange smell, mixed with the smell of fat from the skin of the human body and the fermented smell of instant noodles, snacks and garbage bags piled up.The taste is not strong, but it smells bad.
Jiang Xu held his breath, and breathed through his mouth if he couldn't hold it anymore, but after staying in the carriage for a long time, he got used to this smell, if it was longer, after his nasal cavity fully adapted to this smell, he wouldn't be able to feel it anymore.
Jiang Xu looked at the ticket information while walking in, he was in the lower berth of No. 23.Unexpectedly, the system was quite considerate and arranged a sleeper for him.
The position of their entrance is sorted from No. 1, and No. 23 is the innermost position, which is also the position near the toilet.
The crowd moved very slowly, and Jiang Xu was not in a hurry. He observed the people in this carriage and found one thing in common—they seemed to have no luggage.It would be normal for individual passengers to have no luggage, but it is strange that no passengers in this entire carriage have any.
After Jiang Xu walked slowly for a few minutes, he arrived at his place, and he sat on the bed comfortably.To be honest, he doesn't like the environment of the train very much. Apart from the unpleasant smell, there are many things he is not satisfied with.
For example, the bed is too small, and he feels uncomfortable turning over, and the quilt is too hard, making it uncomfortable to cover, and the quilt has covered countless people, so he feels dirty.
Thinking of this, he felt that the long night would become difficult.
Ji Huai sat next to him, he was tall and had a small frame, Jiang Xu felt that this bed was not room for two people.Jiang Xu asked, "Where do you sleep?"
Ji Huai pointed to the top: "You are above."
Fortunately, it wasn't the bed opposite. If he slept with Ji Huai face to face at night, he felt that he would definitely not be able to sleep.
A shadow suddenly enveloped him, Jiang Xu raised his eyes and met a pair of almond eyes.Because of some surprise, the almond eyes widened slightly, looking very round.He grabbed the strap of the satchel with both hands, looking a little nervous, not knowing what to say.
Jiang Xu saw his restraint: "What a coincidence."
"What a coincidence...well, my name is Ai Zhengqing." He stood at the same spot, and after introducing himself, he pointed to the middle bunk opposite, "This is my seat."
Jiang Xu gave an 'hmm', looked at him interestingly, and said bluntly, "Player?"
The other party froze for a moment, sat on the lower berth opposite, and said a little excitedly, "You too?"
"Yes." Jiang Xu replied.
"I thought I was the only one in this world, I was really scared to death." Ai Zhengqing patted his chest as if relieved.
"Under normal circumstances, there will not be only one player. The probability of failure is too high, unless the system thinks highly of us." Jiang Xu said.
Ai Zhengqing wanted to say something more, but was pushed away.The attitude is extremely bad.
"This is my place, you kid will open it."
The three of them raised their heads together, and the woman in front of her looked like an aunt in her forties. She was a bit fat, bloated, and looked a little sloppy, because as soon as she sat down, she stepped on the bed with one leg , I haven't taken off my shoes yet.
Jiang Xu couldn't help but look down at his own bed, and his aversion to sleeping on this bed became more serious.
Ai Zhengqing was pushed away and stood there helplessly.Ji Huai squeezed his way to Jiang Xu's side, made room for a small space, patted the mattress, and said generously, "Sit here."
Jiang Xu thought to himself, this man is thick-skinned enough, he sat on his own bed and asked others to sit too.But in the end Jiang Xu didn't say anything.
The bed was already small, and it would be a bit cramped if there were three people. Ai Zhengqing wanted to say that the seat in the aisle would be fine, but he was too embarrassed to refuse Ji Huai, so he accepted.
At the same time, the train moved slowly and steadily, not knowing where to start.
After leaving the station, there are rolling mountains. The trains pass through caves non-stop, and it is bright and dark at times. Jiang Xu can see his own figure through the glass windows.After driving for about half an hour, the number of caves decreased. Outside the window, you can see rows of tall buildings and mansions in the distance, but because they are too far away, they look a little dwarfed.
There was a sudden silence, and no one spoke.It's easy to get sleepy in the car. The aunt on the lower bunk opposite has already started to feel drowsy, yawning constantly, and lay down when she couldn't bear it anymore.
"So you are here. Jianshuang and I are in bed No. 10." Tao Yan came to find the two of them specially, to confirm their positions, so that they could take care of each other.
"Is this also a player?" Ai Zhengqing asked.
Jiang Xu replied, "Yes."
Tao Yan looked at the three people who were sitting on the same bed, and he knew it in his heart. He reached out his hand to show his kindness: "Hi, my name is Tao Yan, and I am friends with them."
Ai Zhengqing got up and shook it back politely.
Tao Yan had no place to sit, so he had to sit on the foldable seat by the side of the aisle and share the information he had learned with them: "There seem to be quite a lot of players this time, and the circle around me is full of players."
Hearing the sound, Jiang Xu raised his head: "How to say?"
Tao Yan continued: "I originally wanted to discuss going out with Jianshuang for a while, but when I heard about this, the three big brothers in the shop excitedly joined the discussion, and only then did I learn that they are also players. Probably the discussion was too loud, and the person in the next bed also blew himself up."
"Looking at it this way, there are indeed quite a few players." Ji Huai muttered, frowning, "This world is really a bit different."
Ai Zhengqing who was sitting by the side didn't know what to say was uneasy, a little worried and a little scared.
Jiang Xu took out the train ticket again, on it was only the departure time, but no arrival time, should he sit down forever?He stopped Tao Yan: "I'll take a look at your bus ticket."
Without further ado, Tao Yan took out the ticket and handed it to Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu compared the two tickets, except that the bed information was different, there was no other difference, even the price of the ticket in the lower left corner was exactly the same.
"Ours seems to be different." Ai Zhengqing said.
Jiang Xu raised his head and asked, "Let me see?"
Ai Zhengqing took out the ticket and held it in his hand, pinching the corner of the ticket.The prices of the two tickets are different, and the price of Ai Zhengqing's ticket is lower. According to common sense, the price is lower because the distance is shorter.
At this time, the train attendant came over to perform routine ticket inspection, Jiang Xu handed him the ticket, and the conductor used the ticket pliers to cut a small gap in the ticket as a proof between boarding and getting off.
Jiang Xu asked: "Hello, I forgot when the bus arrives, can you check it for me?"
The train attendant glanced at him sideways, a little tirelessly: "What kind of memory do people have these days? You can forget the arrival time of the train ticket you bought yourself, so why go out after that? Just stay at home..."
The conductor couldn't help but click his tongue, but he still helped Jiang Xu check the ticket information: "Arrive at the station at 14:32 p.m. on the [-]th."
"Thank you." Jiang Xu said.
The conductor was about to go to the next bed to check the ticket, and Ai Zhengqing asked him about his train number in embarrassment.He chuckled, and could see that the conductor was extremely irritable, but he didn't feel shy about taking care of the passengers, so he had to answer patiently: "Ten twenty in the morning on the 13th."
"thank you."
"What's the date now?" Jiang Xu asked.
Ai Zhengqing poked his head up the aisle, looking at the time flashing on the LED screen above the junction of the two carriages at the end: "11:39 p.m. on the [-]th."
Ji Huai complained a bit: "I still have to stay in the car for about three days. Where does it take so long?"
Normal travel does not require such a long car ride, but this is an abnormal trip in itself, even if it takes ten days and half a month, Jiang Xu will not find it strange.
Tao Yan ran back to check the ticket, and the aunt across from him lay down again after checking the ticket. Now she was already snoring, and the few people who had nothing to say fell silent again.Traveling without a purpose may be boring and dead in addition to excitement and curiosity.
After 05:30 in the afternoon, the sky outside the window began to change color, gradually changing from sky blue to dark blue, and the scenery gradually became blurred. The only thing that could be clearly seen from the glass was the shadow of the people in the car.
"Beer, drink, mineral water, spicy chicken drumsticks with peanuts and melon seeds, authentic Daokou roast chicken. Come on, this comrade makes room..." When it was time for dinner, a salesman's voice came from the aisle.
When approaching, Ji Huai called her to stop, with a clear goal, pointing to the buckets of instant noodles at the bottom of the cart and asking: "Do you want money?"
Jiang Xu looked at Ji Huai like a fool.
What question is this asking.
The salesman smiled awkwardly: "Yes, sir. Do you need a bucket?"
"..." Ji Huai didn't have any money on him, but he still wanted to buy it, but he didn't know what to do, "I'll show you an acrobatic trick, how about you give me a bucket?"
The salesperson declined: "Sorry, sir, we don't accept free exchanges."
After speaking, the salesman will push the cart away.
"Wait a minute—" Ai Zhengqing called to stop her. He opened his satchel and looked through it. He took out 20 yuan and handed it to the salesman, "Three barrels."
The salesman took the money, took out the three-way instant noodles from the bottom of the cart, and gave Ai Zhengqing five dollars in change: "Sir, this is your money for your instant noodles."
Ai Zhengqing said again: "For the five yuan, help me get three ham sausages."
The two people on the side looked at Ai Zhengqing curiously, and after the salesman left, Ji Huai asked, "Where did you get the money?"
Ai Zhengqing distributed the ham sausage and instant noodles he bought to Ji Huai and Jiang Xu, explaining the reason: "I earned it from a part-time job in the last world, just in case I need it, who knows if I really need it someday?" What about the money?"
Ji Huai looked at him with some admiration. He thought that Ai Zhengqing was just a simple fool, but he was not stupid at all: "Yes, thank you, let me know if you need help."
Ai Zhengqing smiled: "It's okay, we are all in trouble together, so it's okay to help each other out."
Several people tore off the packaging bag, sprinkled all the seasonings in, and prepared to pick up hot water.
Ji Huai, who was walking behind, whispered to Jiang Xu, "How is it? You said you can have instant noodles if you want them."
Jiang Xu smiled, and replied lazily, "Did you buy this?"
"..." Ji Huai shrugged.
When passing by bed No. 10, Jiang Xu took a special look inside. Tao Yan was chatting happily with the three big brothers opposite, he didn't know what he was talking about, and he was giggling like a hen laying eggs.Xu Jianshuang remained silent, quietly leaning against the window and looking at the dark sky outside.
Noticing Jiang Xu's figure, Tao Yan also greeted him.
"When will you eat?" Jiang Xu asked.
"I just asked the salesperson, I don't have any money for those things that require money. But these three big brothers brought some food with them, and I shared it with Jianshuang." As he said, he rushed to the three big brothers on the opposite side nodded.
The three eldest brothers looked strong and tall, and they didn't look easy to get along with. They didn't know how Tao Yan got along with them.
"Hey, share it with Jianshuang." Jiang Xu handed him the bowl of instant noodles, and put it on the table regardless of whether Tao Yan took it or not.
Tao Yan occasionally complained to Jiang Xu and Ji Huai, but he didn't want to take their things for nothing and want to return them to Jiang Xu.
Ai Zhengqing just came back from receiving the hot water. When he passed by here, he just heard the movement, and took out 20 yuan from his pocket to Tao Yan: "Let's have a decent meal first, I have a lot of money, enough We ate for ten days."
After Tao Yan said a few words politely, he accepted the kindness without pushing and pulling back and forth.
Jiang Xu looked at Ai Zhengqing and said, "Thank you."
"Small matter." Ai Zhengqing smiled, turned around and returned to the bed with the instant noodles in hand.
Holding the 20 yuan, Tao Yan felt somewhat: "Jiang Xu, your new friend is fine, much more reliable than Ji Huai."
"Tsk, you eat yours, what are you doing with me?" Ji Huai patted his head.
Jiang Xu didn't bother to fight with them, so he went to fetch hot water. When he came back with the instant noodles carefully, he heard several people in the beds discussing himself. According to the general description, they should be discussing Ai Zhengqing's treat just now. thing.
Jiang Xu deliberately slowed down his pace, he always felt that something was wrong.
He was very sensitive to capture the two key words 'player', the npc in the game world probably wouldn't discuss this topic.
Jiang Xu stood still, based on his observations of these people when he first got in the car, a ridiculous but very reasonable idea suddenly popped into his head.The people in this entire car can't be all players...
If this is the case, wouldn't there be hundreds of...
