Chapter 1341 Spring Festival Travel, Old Blind Man Meng Qingshan

The Spring Festival Transport of 1978 was naturally different from the Spring Festival Transport of later generations, but even so, as the Spring Festival approached, the flow of people at the train station increased several times.

Regardless of the past, present, or future, returning home during the Spring Festival is an everlasting tradition and habit. After a busy year, who doesn’t want to spend the New Year at home?

After a few months, Zhou Chen is now considered a senior police officer. He no longer needs to follow Jiang Zhanxian and can maintain order by himself.

"Slow down, comrade, it's useless for you to squeeze. The more you squeeze, the more chaotic it will be, which will waste everyone's time. Let's queue up to get on the bus."

"Hey, comrade, slow down, don't hurt the child."

Even though Zhou Chen shouted at the top of his lungs, he still couldn't stop the chaotic crowd. Every window in the carriage was opened, and one after another climbed up the train's windows and squeezed in.

But now it is not summer, but winter. Everyone is wearing thick cotton clothes, which are very bloated. The windows are only so big. Small ones are okay, but big ones can't squeeze in even with all their strength.

Although the weather was cold, everyone was so busy that they were sweating profusely. The whole platform was chaotic and crowded, and it took a long time to get on the bus.

By the time Zhou Chen got into the car, the clothes on his back were already soaked through. Jiang Zhanxian and the other three were similar to him because they were not as physically fit as him and were more tired than him.

"Master, you need to rest for a while. Leave the carriage to me and I'll keep an eye on it."

Jiang Zhanxian didn't treat Zhou Chen politely. He was a police sergeant and followed more cars than Zhou Chen. In addition, he was older and had less physical strength than Zhou Chen. Naturally, he did not have Zhou Chen's physical strength.

"Go ahead. There are many people in the car. Keep an eye on them and make sure nothing happens."

"I see."

Zhou Chen and Yu Xingguo walked into the carriage together and helped the conductor manage the order of the carriage. They were busy, and so were the conductors.

"Where are the tickets? Take them out. If you don't have any tickets, you can make up your votes consciously."

"What are you talking about? It's for luggage storage. Don't let your children sit on it. What if it falls and falls?"

"Don't put your luggage in the aisle. Everyone, please clear the aisle. Please cooperate. Everyone, please cooperate."

"…………"

Almost every time I get out of the car, I say similar words, but today I obviously say more, but my efficiency is worse than before.

Cai Xiaonian said to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, help me go to the next carriage to check in. I'll treat you to a drink when you get back."

He was too busy and could only ask Zhou Chen for help.

"knew."

Everyone works on the same car, you help me, I help you, helping each other, not to mention that they are still growing up in the same compound.

"Comrade police, I want to go to the toilet, but the toilet door can't be opened."

Someone came to Zhou Chen for help. Zhou Chen ran to the toilet door and opened the door. Good guy, three people were crowded inside.

"Come out quickly. You have occupied the toilet. What will happen if others want to use the toilet? Come out quickly."

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. After working on the train for several months, Zhou Chen has met many strange people and has long been accustomed to them.

Just as it was solved here, there was another problem there.

"Comrade policeman, he touched me, arrest him and charge him with being a hooligan."

"It's unfair, comrade policeman. I was squeezed by someone just now, and I bumped into her accidentally. She insisted on saying that I touched her. I am also my wife. How could I do such a thing? Comrade policeman, you have to give it to me. Prove it, if this gets out, I won’t be able to survive.”

These days, gangsters are really punishable by jail time, and they are also very despised. Once convicted of this crime, it is not an exaggeration to say that their lives will be ruined.

"Comrade, I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet. Let's talk slowly."

When Zhou Chen walked over, he happened to hear Wang Ming say these words. He was so surprised that he thought he had traveled back several decades and the language art of this era had become so advanced.

Yet?

Facts have proved that the woman did think too much. The man was hit by someone and it was not intentional at all. The person who hit him stood up to testify for him, so the matter was resolved quickly.

This is not the first time Zhou Chen has encountered this kind of thing in the past few months. He has encountered it once before. It was just a woman bumping into a man. The man accidentally touched the woman's private parts. The woman directly complained to the man. A hooligan.

When a woman bumps into a man, the man is acting like a hooligan. When a man bumps into a woman, the man is acting like a hooligan. How can this be justified? When can men stand up? When will there be true equality?

When he got off at Haihe Station, Zhou Chen had been watching the crowd. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he rushed into the crowd.

Among the crowd, a hand holding a blade was about to slit the backpack of the person next to him. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side and grabbed the hand holding the blade.

The caught thief was startled and quickly turned his head to look. When he saw Zhou Chen with an indifferent expression, his face turned pale.

"Comrade police, I, I was just joking, do you believe it?"

Zhou Chen asked back: "Do you believe it?"

The thief wanted to defend himself, but Zhou Chen exerted force on his hand, causing him to scream in pain.

"It hurts, it hurts, comrade policeman, it hurts me so much, don't use any force, move, I'll move, I'll go with you."

He couldn't resist anymore, so he could only be pulled away by Zhou Chen bitterly, and the blade in his hand was also taken off by Zhou Chen.

He took the thief and threw him directly into the dining car compartment, and handed it over to masters Jiang Zhanxian and Wang Ming to record their statements.

Wang Ming teased, "Brother Jiang, Zhou Chen is really getting better and better now. With his eyesight and ability, petty thieves can't escape as long as they appear under his nose."

Zhou Chen has been working for almost five months, and he has caught more than 20 thieves who stole things. This is a real business ability, which can't be done without two brushes.

Zhou Chen has lived for hundreds of years. Although he has not learned professional theft techniques, he has good eyesight, learned martial arts, is flexible, and has been a policeman for many years. Ordinary petty thieves are indeed difficult to survive under his eyes.

Jiang Zhanxian smiled and said, "He is indeed talented, not like a newcomer."

He is satisfied with his apprentice Zhou Chen from the bottom of his heart. He never lets him worry. He is obedient, sensible, has a keen eye, and most importantly, has strong business ability.

Whether it is mediating conflicts or catching thieves and fighting, it is first-class.

Especially in terms of fighting, there were four police officers in a car, and the three veteran police officers combined were no match for Zhou Chen alone.

There was a time when a team committed a crime, and Zhou Chen fought against six or seven people alone, and he defeated all of them without any injury, which surprised everyone at the time.

"If you ask me, he should be a criminal policeman. Being a police officer is really a waste of talent." Wang Ming praised sincerely.

Zhou Chen said modestly: "Brother Wang, you are too flattering. This is all because of my master's good teaching. Forget about criminal police. I like the job of railway police. I won't leave before I have worked for five years."

Jiang Zhanxian shook his head: "Don't flatter me. I didn't teach you much, but I agree with Xiao Wang. You are born to be a criminal police. If you really have this idea, I will go back and ask Captain Hu to recommend you. He is familiar with the people in the railway criminal police team."

"No, Master, I'm serious. I haven't thought about leaving the railway police team."

Staying in the railway police team for five years is a branch task of the system. No matter how good the railway criminal police team is, it can't be as good as the rewards of the system tasks. Anyway, he has made up his mind that he will never leave the railway police team before he has worked for five years.

His idea made Jiang Zhanxian and others unable to understand. Railway criminal police are not comparable to railway railway police. In the police industry, who would be willing to be a railway police if they have the opportunity to be a criminal police?

Passenger trains during the Spring Festival are really busy, but relatively speaking, the treatment has also improved. At the end of the year, Zhou Chen and his colleagues have received more salary, bonuses and tickets than in previous months.

Apart from other things, the welfare benefits of the police are quite good. In this era of work, iron rice bowl is the best compliment.

On New Year's Eve and Spring Festival in 1978, Zhou Chen did not have the opportunity to celebrate the holidays at home. Originally, he was not scheduled for this train, but he took the shift of his master Jiang Zhanxian.

Jiang Zhanxian originally disagreed, but Zhou Chen said that he was alone anyway, and it was the same to celebrate the New Year at home and on the train. At home, he was alone, and there were so many people accompanying him on the train. On the contrary, it was the master's family who needed a reunion year.

This touched Jiang Zhanxian, who said that this apprentice was not accepted in vain, and then went home happily to celebrate the New Year.

In fact, the train police are not on a fixed train. They are occasionally transferred. For example, Zhou Chen has been on the Ningha line of the opposite team before, and even followed the Capital Team and Dalian Team once, but these were all to help others.

In the past few months, Zhou Chen has been the one who has followed the train the most times in the entire train police team. Captain Hu almost gave him a model worker certificate.

In fact, the reason why he works so hard is not really kind-hearted, but mainly because he thinks that following the train is really more interesting, much more interesting than staying at home alone.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, staying alone will feel lonely and have wild thoughts, but when following the train, you don’t have much time to think about other things when you are busy.

There are many passengers during the Spring Festival, and there are many troubles, but Zhou Chen is experienced and is getting more and more handy in handling these things.

…………

"Woo woo..."

The loud whistle sounded over the railway. The Spring Festival has passed, which also means that the busiest days are over and the green spring has arrived.

Zhou Chen passed by the connection between two carriages and suddenly saw a person curled up there. The person was in tattered clothes, sloppy, and exuded a sour smell.

Zhou Chen had smelled all kinds of smells in the train for several months, so he had already selectively ignored this smell.

Hearing the footsteps, the beggar-like person raised his head, and the first thing he saw was a pair of squinting, turbid eyes.

This person is blind.

Zhou Chen had a flash of inspiration in his mind. Beggar, sloppy, blind, he couldn't help but think of the great father who had been looking for his daughter for decades in the plot.

The old blind man, Meng Qingshan.

The old blind man Meng Qingshan is a tragic figure in the South and North. His daughter was abducted at the station when he was two years old. In order to find his daughter, he has been lingering on the train since then, just to find the traffickers who abducted his daughter and find his daughter.

But even in the end, although he found the woman trafficker, he ultimately did not find his daughter. He lived for decades, but not finding his daughter was his lifelong regret. That feeling of despair cannot be understood unless you experience it yourself.

At this time, Meng Qingshan had been looking for his daughter for many years. He was an old man at Ningyang Station. Many staff working at Ningyang Station knew Meng Qingshan, and many people felt sorry for him. Even though they knew he would evade the ticket, most people turned a blind eye, and even took the initiative to send him some food and drinks.

What is that saying? Although their lives are in a mess, they still can't bear to see these sufferings in the world, so for poor people like Meng Qingshan, everyone will selectively tolerate.

Zhou Chen handed over the two eggs in his pocket.

Although the old blind man couldn't see, his nose was very sensitive. As soon as Zhou Chen took out the eggs, he sniffed his nose and smelled the smell.

"Egg, who are you?"

"Train police, take it and eat it."

"It's the police comrade, thank you, thank you, you are such a good person."

The old blind man took the egg and was very grateful. In order to find his daughter, he put aside everything and made himself look like a ghost. People who saw him would basically stay away from him. Few people would be willing to get close to him, let alone give him food.

Zhou Chen squatted down next to the old blind man, watched him eat eggs, and asked softly: "Brother, although we have never met, I have heard about you. You do nothing like this, give up your life, and stay at the station and on the train all day long. Is it worth it?"

The old blind man's movements paused, and after a long while, he slowly asked: "If it was your daughter who was abducted, what would you do?"

Zhou Chen was silent. If it was really his daughter who was abducted, he would definitely do nothing and must find his daughter back.

So he didn't say anything else, but just patted the old blind man gently.

"Brother, I will do my best to help you find the traffickers and get your daughter back."

Although he knew that the old blind man's daughter was not sold by traffickers, she was abducted by traffickers first and then lost. If she had not been abducted by traffickers first, the old blind man would not have lost his daughter.

In any case, traffickers are really guilty of death. In Zhou Chen's opinion, traffickers are ten times or a hundred times worse than most murderers. Such people should be shot if they are caught. No, they should go through the ten tortures and go to hell.

"Thank you, thank you police comrades, you are all good people, good people, thank you..."

The old blind man choked up. In the past ten years of looking for his daughter, he has met many good people, but his daughter has not been found. His heart has slowly cooled down, but every time he hears the police say they want to help him, he can't help but be moved.

Even if he knows that there is little hope, what if, what if he really finds it?

He stays at the station and on the train every day, isn't it for that one chance?
