Chapter 433: The Game of Courage 44
"There are two closed carriages at the back. The first section is full of luggage, and the second section is full of packaged express delivery. I checked last night and found nothing unusual. Thanks to those luggage, the temperature suddenly dropped at night. Jiang, I only had a rest in it for one night with such a piece of metal covering the luggage to block the wind.” Zhou Guang took a sip of the soup contentedly, and said with emotion, “It’s delicious.”
In Bai Lixin's eyes, Zhou Guang was just a young girl. Although she knew that the other party was Zhou Guang, but seeing such a picture of a cute young child who couldn't even eat a bowl of hot beef head noodles in front of her, it was a bit tangled.
Bai Lixin: "It's not an option for you to stay in the last car. You have to enter the first-class car. Let me think of a way to see if I can get you into the first-class car."
Zhou Guang shook his head like a rattle: "Shen Xin, please forgive me, I don't want to stay under the same roof with the boss at all."
"Don't go to our room, see if there is room in other rooms." Bai Lixin poked the center of his eyebrows with his index finger, and stretched out his hand towards Zhou Guang, "Give me the instant noodle box, I will throw it away when I pass by the trash can .I'll come back to you as soon as I can find a way to get you into first class."
Seeing that Bai Lixin took the garbage and was about to leave, Zhou Guang remembered something and stopped Bai Lixin: "Although this matter has nothing to do with our mission, I noticed when I walked to the last carriage today, The luggage of the fare-evading man who was taken away by the flight attendant yesterday is still there."
Bai Lixin: "Then maybe no one will come to take it."
Zhou Guang's voice was slightly heavy: "It should be like this."
When Bai Lixin was walking forward from the last carriage, he passed the location of the fare evader man mentioned by Zhou Guang yesterday. Sure enough, his luggage was stuffed under the seat, revealing a corner of a backpack.
This slow train is enjoyment for those in the first class, sightseeing for those in the middle class, and life for those in the economy class.
Especially the last cars.
The last class car is the car with the worst hardware facilities. The seats are hard seats. There are three seats in a narrow row, and the shoulders are crowded on this narrow seat.
You can see large woven bags worth a few dollars each and fish-scale bags for chemical fertilizers everywhere. People’s faces are unspeakably tired and depressed, but they have to brace themselves to resist the drowsiness of sleepiness, in case the things that are extremely precious to them are taken away by the train. Pickpockets are on the lookout.
This car is the smallest car, but it holds the most people.
Although train No. 4948 is advertised under the banner of tourism, not only travelers will buy tickets for this train.
To put it bluntly, it is because the performance of this train is too poor if it is only used for transportation, so it made a publicity for a travel train, which not only increased the number of passengers, but also increased revenue for the tourism industry in the Tibetan mountain area. A good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
There was a sound of baby crying, followed by the young mother frantically hugging the baby in her arms to comfort her.
The child was hungry, and the young mother looked at the messy surroundings, and then at the bathroom door in the distance that showed "in use", with embarrassment in her eyes.
"Can you stop the baby from crying?"
"so annoying."
"It's noisy."
There were harsh voices in twos and threes, and the embarrassment on the young mother's face became even worse.
She tried her best to pat and comfort the baby's back, but the baby didn't give the young mother any face, and still cried bitterly.
The young mother had no choice but to cover her upper body with a coat in embarrassment while breastfeeding her child.
The coat moved a few times and almost slipped off my mother's body.
The young mother could only try her best to tilt one shoulder upwards, hanging the coat on her shoulder in a very awkward and uncomfortable posture.
The people around him hesitated for a moment, subconsciously tilted their heads and stopped looking at the young mother, giving the mother enough space.
However, the fact that there are people around, many people still cannot be changed
, the young mother tried her best to lower her head, with shame and anger on her flushed cheeks.
Bai Lixin sighed lightly.
This train is like a small social zone.
No matter how glamorous the train looks from the outside, you can still see all kinds of things in the world when you enter the compartment.
Some people are dreaming and dying in a luxurious room, while others are struggling to live in a crowded and narrow space.
People in the first-class carriages can enjoy an absolutely independent environment and services, but guests in the last-class carriages cannot even have a private nursing room for mothers and babies.
Although ugly, this is reality, not a fairy tale world for children, only love and justice and princesses and princes living in beautiful castles.
The coat slid down again, and when it was about to completely slip off the young mother's shoulders, a pair of hands gently grabbed her coat.
The young mother froze for a moment, and saw a young man was helping her to pull her clothes, his chin was raised, his eyes were looking to the other side, and he didn't look at himself.
The young mother looked embarrassed, whispered "thank you" and continued to breastfeed.
It wasn't until the child drank enough that he fell asleep that the young mother arranged her clothes and pulled the coat out of the young man's hand.
Bai Lixin smiled at the bewildered young mother, "The child is so cute, fair and clean, with a round face. You are an excellent mother at first glance."
After speaking, he lifted his foot and left.
Young mothers are not
Blushing with embarrassment, she looked down at her sleeping baby silently, and the more she looked at it, the more cute she became.
When Bai Lixin walked to the sixth car, he met the patrolling flight attendant.
It's still the two from yesterday. It is estimated that they still think that they are the ones who are ready to invest. When they see their originally fierce faces, they immediately become tender.
Bai Lixin did not explain, but seemed to have unintentionally raised the somewhat embarrassing privacy issues of the passengers.
The flight attendant, who was vicious towards other passengers, immediately nodded and bowed and said that he would pay attention to make corrections. He was not as aggressive as he was just now towards other passengers.
Ah.
Even in npc, the same game rules apply.
No matter how many people in the bottom class car shout, it is not as good as the complaint of a person in the first class car. The voices of the passengers in the last carriage were so faint that they could hardly be heard.
And now, he is enjoying the glory of the so-called "superior", he does not resent and resist the fringe benefits brought by Di Jia. Because he stands tall, he has more power to speak.
Just like now, he said this, no matter what, the embarrassing things like that young mother might be reduced a bit.
Bai Lixin exchanged pleasantries with the two flight attendants for a few more minutes before continuing to walk towards the first-class compartment.
He met the family mentioned by Zhou Guang in the luxury restaurant in the fourth quarter. Because of Zhou Guang's detailed description, he almost recognized the young man sitting by the window with his head down and playing with the Rubik's Cube as the boy Zhou Guang mentioned. .
The young man looked to be in his early twenties. His black cropped hair was shaved almost to the scalp. His skin was very fair, and the blood color of his lips was lighter than ordinary people. He was about 1.5 meters tall. His bones and limbs looked slender. The expression is light, weak and unsmiling. Sitting next to him was a well-dressed woman in her fifties, her hair was already black and white, although there were wrinkles on her face from the years, her skin was of good quality, her fingers were slender and clean, and her posture Elegant, quality of life at a glance.
The woman kept whispering something to the young man, and the young man raised his head to respond to the woman from time to time, but most of his attention was still on the Rubik's Cube in front of him.
Bai Lixin found a seat and sat down without a trace, silently looking at the mother and child.
As Zhou Guang said, young people are addicted to the Rubik's Cube, but their skills are average.
His hands seemed to be shaking a little, and his hands were always weak, so it was a bit difficult to twist the Rubik's Cube.
Bai Lixin called the waiter to order afternoon tea, and his eyes seemed to ignore the young man on purpose.
His eyes just passed by briefly, and the woman who had been whispering to the young man suddenly raised her head and looked over with sharp eyes.
Like a crazy mother beast guarding her cubs.
Bai Lixin shrugged, not only was not scared back by the woman's gaze, but walked to their table, and sat down on the opposite side of the young man, with surprise on his face: "I didn't expect that I could On this train, I met a peer who also likes Rubik's Cube."
The young man who had been playing with the Rubik's Cube with his head down all this time raised his head. He glanced at Baili Xin, then turned his eyes away and stopped looking at him, but asked in a low voice, "You like it too?"
Bai Lixin: "Haha, I like it."
He said and took his Rubik's Cube props from his backpack, "Look, this is my Rubik's Cube."
After finishing speaking, he fiddled with one palm and five fingers seemingly casually a few times, and the Rubik's Cube was restored immediately.
Bai Lixin dared to say that if this Rubik's Cube wasn't a great prop, it would have been covered by himself long ago.
This Rubik's Cube is the toy that I play with the most when I am free. Even with my eyes closed, I can play with it.
The young man's eyes lit up, he hesitated for two seconds, and pushed the Rubik's Cube in his hand to Baili Xin's position, "Can you recover this?"
"Let me see." Bailixin took the youth's Rubik's cube into his hand and looked at the pattern. Two seconds later, he still fiddled with it a few times with one hand, and Bailixin recovered the Rubik's cube that the youth could not break for a long time.
The young man finally had a smile on his face, "You are amazing."
Bai Lixin returned the Rubik's Cube to the young man: "You are familiar with your hands. There is nothing good or bad. I have been playing Rubik's Cube since I was a child. You can do it with more practice. If you want to learn, I have many tricks here. "
After finishing speaking, Bai Lixin winked friendlyly at the young man.
The young man turned his head to look at the woman beside him, with anticipation flashing in his eyes.
The woman's eyes were still a little wary. Her eyes were like a cold scanner, silently sizing up Baili Xin from beginning to end: "Who are you? Why are you approaching us?"
Bai Lixin's expression was quite surprised: "I just happened to be a guest in the same car as you, how could you think that I was approaching you on purpose, it's too ridiculous."
The woman did not let go of her guard and continued to ask, "Which compartment are you in?"
Bai Lixin pointed forward: "I'm in the first-class compartment a-1, how about you, which compartment are you in?"
When the woman heard that Bailixin was in the first-class car, the hostility in her eyes decreased significantly, "We are also in the first-class car."
Bai Lixin retreated and stood up from the chair, "The journey is boring, and it is rare to meet a peer who also likes the Rubik's Cube. I thought that people with similar interests could become friends, but it seems that I am being sentimental. If this is the case, then I'd better go."
After speaking, he also stood up as he said, turned around and left, and sat back in his seat. While deftly turning the Rubik's Cube in his hand, he rested his chin and looked at the scenery outside.
cappuccino
When it was delivered, Baili Xin was also very patient, and just sat there in silence.
His eyes were facing out of the window, but the clean glass reflected a part of the indoor scene. The scene he saw happened to be the table of the young man and his mother.
Through the reflective glass, he saw the young man and the woman beside him murmur something in a low voice, and the woman said a few more words to him, and then the woman stood up and walked towards him.
"Ahem, sir, can I sit down?" The woman's voice was a little embarrassed.
Bai Lixin frowned and looked at the woman suspiciously, with repulsion flashing in his eyes, but he still nodded: "Of course, I didn't open this restaurant."
"Please forgive me for my recklessness just now," the woman said after sitting down, no longer tense just now, "my son has broken my heart, so I have to be alert to all possible threats to him. He just talked to I said it surprised me that he wanted to befriend you."
Bai Lixin: "Why are you surprised?"
The woman lowered her voice, "Actually, my poor son suffers from autism. He is very afraid of contacting strangers, and he is unwilling to contact the outside world. I brought him out this time because I heard that Tibetan Mountain is very spiritual. Maybe take my son there to pray, maybe my son's autism will be cured? As a mother, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will want to try it. Although he is autistic, he is very smart. Twenty-two years old, has completed the doctoral program, and will be able to graduate soon. His father and I are getting older. We can protect him for a while, but we can’t guard him for a while. I also consider letting him get used to the outside world slowly. lay the groundwork for future work.”
"After so many years, you are the first friend he wants to take the initiative to make, so I'm surprised."
Bai Lixin: "I see."
He silently glanced at the young man on the table next to him playing Rubik's Cube with his head bowed.
In fact, he had guessed this since the young man didn't dare to look directly at him just now, and he had guessed this since the young man didn't dare to look directly at him, and he didn't feel too surprised when he heard the woman say it now.
Woman: "He took the initiative to socialize, which is a good step. So I want to ask you, can you be his friend and spend some time with him in the next few days?"
"Of course." Bai Lixin nodded, "I just wanted to make friends with him."
Seeing this, the woman relaxed and tensed her expression, "Because of my son's illness, he is very sensitive, so don't irritate him with harsh words. I'm worried that he will be irritated, so maybe you two are dating During the process, I will frequently appear by your side, and even be inseparable from him."
Bai Lixin hesitated for several seconds, and finally nodded in compromise under the increasingly nervous eyes of the woman: "Yes."
"Thank you so much." The woman stood up with satisfaction, "I'll let him come over right now."
A minute later, the woman brought the pale-skinned youth to Baili Xin again.
The young man was a little nervous and restrained, and with the encouragement of the woman, he sat opposite Bai Lixin, and the woman sat next to the young man.
"You, hello." The young man still didn't look at Baili Xin, but put his eyes on the Rubik's cube in his hand, and said without emotion like reciting a text, "My name is Chai Li. Fourteen years old, male, 175.3 cm tall, 68 kg in weight, my degree is a doctoral student, my hobbies are Rubik's Cube and Sudoku, nice to meet you, what's your name, please?"
He didn't know how long he had memorized this passage, but after the initial stumbling, he came out with a familiarity.
The eyes of the woman beside him showed a look of relief, and then they looked at Baili Xin expectantly.
Baili Xin paused, and then said cooperatively: "Hello, Chai Li, my name is Bai Lixin, I am... twenty years old, and I am a student who has just entered university. Nice to meet you."
Chai Li glanced at Bai Lixin and quickly moved away: "Then what is your hobby?"
Bai Lixin thought for two seconds before replying, "The Rubik's Cube and specimens."
Chai Li glanced at Baili Xin again, bowed his head and let out an "oh".
After a long silence, Chai Li raised his head again, "What kind of specimen do you like?"
Bai Lixin: "I am generally interested in insects and plant specimens. I will make specimens of leaves and petals of various classes. There are also many insects, such as shovels, dragonflies, stick insects, butterflies, etc. I I like beautiful things, especially when things are fixed at the most beautiful moment. Among them, my favorite is butterflies."
"What about you, Chai Li, do you like butterflies?"
After speaking, he carefully looked at Chai Li's expression.
Chai Li's expression did not show the change he expected. The other party just bowed his head and thought carefully for a few seconds before nodding: "I like it, the butterfly is very beautiful."
Bai Lixin swept across the woman's face again. The woman didn't seem to be sensitive to the word "butterfly". She just looked at the son who started to communicate with him in relief, without showing any defensive and surprised expression: "..."
If they have anything to do with the butterfly and the little girl, they should have a reaction when they hear this
That's right.
Why is there no response?
Bai Lixin quickly collected his thoughts, "Shall I teach you how to play the Rubik's Cube?"
Chai Li blushed, "Okay, thank you."
They played Rubik's Cube for a while, and because of their common hobbies, the relationship between the two has drawn a lot closer.
The sky outside gradually darkened.
When it was time for dinner, the doors of the restaurant compartments kept being opened and closed, and the restaurant, which had few people, quickly filled up.
don't know
Is it because of Chai Li's autism? Once he concentrates on doing one thing, he will be extremely focused, and he has no intention of stopping for several hours. Bai Lixin is a little bit overwhelmed.
He was about to find a reason to run away first, when he suddenly felt a gaze.
Bai Lixin looked up suddenly, and saw an old man in his sixties in his seventies staring at him at the dining table next door.
Bailixin followed the man's gaze, and the old man didn't dodge, just looked straight at him, and the complex look in his eyes made Baili a little elusive.
Does this old man also know Zhao Ming?
Speaking of which, Zhao Ming and his grandparents depended on each other for life. Considering their age, his grandparents are about the same age as this old man, right?
Could this old man be Zhao Ming's grandfather?
With a slight movement in his heart, Baili Xin put down the hand that turned the Rubik's Cube, "I saw someone I know, go say hello, I'm leaving first."
Chai Li was still a little bit reluctant, and asked slowly: "When will we meet next time?"
Bai Lixin: "I'm at A-1, if you miss me, go to me, but there is another companion in my room, he looks a little scary, but he is very nice, don't be scared. As for You, if you tell me where you are, I can find you too."
"I'm at a-7." Chai Li hesitated and said, "Can you come and play with me tonight? I still have something I haven't learned yet."
Bai Lixin raised his eyebrows: "Of course, see you tonight."
This is not too good, I wanted to find a reason to visit his room, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to invite me.
After making a simple agreement with Chai Li, Bai Lixin got up, strode up to the old man, and said straight to the point: "You have been staring at me just now, do you know me?"
The old man's eyes were complicated. He looked at Baili Xin's face, then at the Rubik's Cube in his hand, and finally opened his mouth and whispered tentatively, "Shen Xin?"
Bai Lixin's eyes widened suddenly, "Li Cangshan?"
The old man scratched his head with Li Cangshan's habitual scratching movement, and smiled shyly: "It's me, I just saw you play Rubik's Cube just like you."
Bai Lixin's eyes also became complicated: "..."
Zhou Guang and Li Cangshan, one turned into a little girl in her early teens, and the other turned into a little old man in his seventies.
This is really... the difference in the world.
Li Cangshan pointed to his old man's face: "Is it strange that I look like this?"
Bai Lixin had a sincere expression: "It's not surprising."
I've seen the girl version of Zhou Guang, what else should I be shocked about?
Li Cangshan: "When I got on the train, I was wondering if I would meet you on this train, but I did. I was lucky. I don't know where Zhou Guang is. Xinshen, you saw Zhou Guang ?"
Bai Lixin's mind came up with that delicate and lovely girl's face, and he nodded silently: "I see."
Li Cangshan's tone became joyful: "Really, where is he? What does he look like now?"
Bai Lixin licked the corner of his lips, "Well... I think it's better for him to tell you this kind of thing. Did you get on the train at Jingchuan Station just now?"
"Yes, yes." Li Cangshan nodded, "I'm in the middle compartment now."
"A medium compartment?" Bai Lixin was taken aback, "A medium compartment is a compartment for two people, right? But the space is big enough to accommodate six people.
How many people are there besides you now? "
"Besides me, there is a middle-aged woman who looks quite quiet and doesn't talk much."
Bai Lixin made some calculations: "Let Zhou Guang go to your car. Your car has bunk beds. Even if you check the ticket because of its privacy, he can hide under your cover."
"Check tickets?" Li Cangshan pondered for two seconds before he understood, "Zhou Guang didn't buy a ticket?"
Bai Lixin: "Well, without further ado, I'll take you to find him now. He should still be in the last car."
Li Cangshan didn't hesitate at all, and immediately stood up and rubbed his hands behind Bai Lixin: "Come on, let me see what Zhou Guang has become!" Recently, the transcoding has been serious, which makes us more motivated and updates faster, please. Move your little hand to exit the reading mode. Thanks
