Chapter 8 Lucky Star (Thanks to the Leader Nayako)

Yuetong Province, Yuezhou City, East Railway Station.

East Station is the oldest station in Yuezhou, with six waiting rooms. There are high-speed trains, express trains, and green trains passing through this station.

Li Banfeng carefully checked the ticket information, train 1160.

Why is it this train again?

Li Banfeng sent a message: "Didn't this train derail?"

Click~

He Jiaqing replied: "The accident has been dealt with and the train has resumed."

Finished?

Such a big matter was handled so quickly?

There isn't even a "K" in front of the train number.

This means that it is not even a regular express train, but the slowest type of train.

I hope his hometown is not too far away.

The ticket information says ticket gate No. 96.

Li Banfeng walked around the various waiting areas and saw many middle-aged people in suits and ties, as well as many young people dressed casually.

What impressed him most was the old men in simple clothes. They carried a lot of luggage on their backs, in their hands, and even on their shoulders. Many of them also had a big tea jar tied to the outside of their luggage. It is the most common and unique scenery in the train station.

But after looking around, Li Banfeng didn't see ticket gate No. 96.

"Where is ticket gate No. 96?" Li Banfeng sent a message to He Jiaqing.

"It's not fixed, just ask the staff."

Li Banfeng asked five station staff one after another, and the first four said there was no ticket gate No. 96.

After reading Li Banfeng's ticket information, the fifth station attendant took Li Banfeng to the second waiting hall. Next to the toilet, he walked through a corridor, opened the iron door, and entered an underground passage.

In train stations, underground passages are common, but there is something special here. The passage is very long, and under the dim light, the smell of dampness and rancidity is overwhelming.

The ground is full of potholes, and there are woodlouse crawling in the water. The underground passage with such a harsh environment seems to have only appeared in Li Banfeng's childhood memory.

When he was a child, he often went to an abandoned train station, not to take the train, but to steal scrap metal with Mrs. Wu.

After passing through the long underground passage, the staff took Li Banfeng directly to the platform.

He took out a dark box, shaped a bit like a mailbox.

There is a shake handle on the right side of the box. The staff shakes the handle, and a piece of ticket pops out from the gap above the box.

It was a piece of ticket, a piece of soft paper ten centimeters long, not the hard paper train ticket that Li Banfeng was familiar with.

The staff stamped the ticket and handed it to Li Banfeng.

On the front of the ticket, each stop and arrival time are written.

San Toucha, Haichi Ridge, Green Water Bay, Trousers Knee...

He didn't recognize any of the place names. The bottom of the ticket was the destination of Li Banfeng's trip. The name of this stop was Yaowanggou.

Is Yaowanggou the hometown of He Jiaqing?

Li Banfeng has never been there and has never heard of it.

I looked at the driving time, June 28th, 1:53, almost fifteen minutes left.

Let’s look at the arrival time of the train, June 30th, seven o’clock sharp.

Nearly two days!

This journey is a bit long!

Look at the seats again.

Car carriage seven, seat seven, first-class sleeper ticket.

That's a soft sleeper.

I can barely tolerate lying down.

There was a line of small print on the ticket. Li Banfeng took a closer look and it read: This bus provides hot water, but does not provide any food. Passengers are asked to prepare their own food.

After a two-day journey, there was no food for sale on the train!

What about melon seed beverage mineral water?

Don’t you even have the most basic trolley?

Why didn't you tell me this earlier? What will I eat along the way?

There is food for sale in the waiting hall. How about running back from the platform?

There were only fifteen minutes left before leaving the car, and it seemed like it was already too late.

The route is too complicated, and there is an iron gate in the middle.

Besides, if you bump into that big-eyed man, you will definitely be shot to death.

Buy some from others on the platform?

On this old platform, only Li Banfeng was waiting for the train.

Get in the car and find someone to buy it?

Is anyone willing to sell it to me?

…

At the critical moment, Li Banfeng's cell phone rang, and He Jiaqing sent a message: "Brother, have you bought food?"

"Why the hell did you just remember that? Why didn't you remind me when I was in the supermarket?"

"The situation was urgent and I forgot. After you get on the bus, you must not leave the car."

Why can't I leave the car?

Does going to the bathroom count as leaving the car?

I can't hold it in for two days, right?

Li Banfeng was puzzled when he suddenly saw an old lady walking over on the platform holding a cardboard box.

"Young man, do you want to buy instant noodles?"

Li Banfeng looked at him warily, there was actually someone selling things on the platform!

In fact, there are usually people selling food on the green bus platform. Li Banfeng has ridden on a green bus, so this is not a new thing.

But why didn’t I see this old lady just now?

The old lady said: "The train will be here soon. There is no food on the train. Buy a few boxes and take them with you!"

"How much does a box cost?"

"Four dollars."

Only four yuan!

Not to mention the train station, even in any supermarket in Yuezhou City, the price is absolutely reasonable.

"Ten boxes here!"

Two days, ten boxes, enough to eat.

Li Banfeng took out his mobile phone and was about to scan the QR code when he suddenly saw a tall man in uniform walking up to the platform and snatching away a box of instant noodles from the old lady.

"Who asked you to sell things here?" the uniformed man asked.

"I told the webmaster." The old lady replied tremblingly.

"I didn't hear the stationmaster say that the items were confiscated!" The man in uniform carried the box and turned around to leave. The old lady looked at it tremblingly, feeling sorry for the box of instant noodles, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Li Banfeng stepped forward and pulled the box off the uniformed man's shoulder, causing the uniformed man to stagger.

The man in uniform said in shock: "What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do?" Li Banfeng asked, "Are you robbing me in broad daylight?"

The man in uniform frowned and said, "I am a station attendant, she is operating in violation of regulations, and I am acting according to the rules!"

"What's your business?" Li Banfeng looked at the old lady, "This is my second aunt. Send me to the train and bring me a box of instant noodles, okay?"

The man in uniform was speechless for a while. Li Banfeng turned back to the old lady and said, "Second aunt, send her to this place. I'll get in the car in a moment."

While talking, Li Banfeng secretly put a hundred yuan bill into the old lady's hand.

The old lady looked at Li Banfeng and said nothing for a while.

One box of instant noodles, twenty-four barrels, is a bit much.

As much as possible! Take it to Jiaqing's house to eat together.

Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!

What is this sound?

Li Banfeng looked along the railway track to the end of his sight.

He saw white smoke first.

To be precise, it's not smoke, it's white water vapor.

The water vapor is filled with black gas. This is smoke, the soot produced by burning coal.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

This is a unique mechanical collision sound between the crankshaft and connecting rod.

Woohoo~~~

A truly steam-driven whistle!

This is……

steam train?

Li Banfeng's jaw dropped.

There are still steam trains in this era?

The dark black locomotive, puffing out steam, gradually slowed down and entered the platform.

The green leather carriages opened the doors one by one, and the conductor lowered the ladder to get on.

Li Banfeng carried a box of instant noodles and walked to the seventh carriage.

At the platform entrance, Xiao Zhenggong and Bulb silently watched Li Banfeng's figure as he was about to board the train.

"Lightbulb, do it!" Xiao Zhenggong gave the order.

Bulb trembled in his heart. He didn't expect that Team Xiao's people had already arrived, but they didn't take action personally.

Is this Team Xiao's test for me?

No, it can’t be said to be a test, it should be the last chance given to me.

In fact, Xiao Zhenggong also thought about doing it himself, but he saw an old lady on the platform selling instant noodles.

The old lady kept looking at Li Banfeng, which made Xiao Zhenggong very scared.

He knows the identity of the old lady. If the old lady is related to Li Banfeng, then he must not attack Li Banfeng here, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

But Xiao Zhenggong was very unwilling to let Li Banfeng go.

Is this old lady really looking at Li Banfeng?

He may not have any interaction with Li Banfeng.

Rather than letting Li Banfeng run away like this, it would be better to let Lamp do an experiment.

"Kill the suspect immediately. This is the last chance!" Xiao Zhenggong issued the order again.

After hearing Xiao Zhenggong's order, Bulb gritted his teeth and was about to rush to the platform, but was pulled from behind.

When Bulb turned around, it was the captain Chen who held him back.

When did Team Chen arrive?

Bulb quickly saluted. Xiao Zhenggong pointed at Li Banfeng who was about to board the car and said to Lao Chen: "Team Chen, Li Banfeng is going to escape. He may have important items with him. Now is the only chance to get him back."

Lao Chen nodded and said to Xiao Zhenggong: "That makes sense. Go ahead and I'll wait for you here."

Xiao Zhenggong's cheek trembled but he did not take any action.

Bulb was very surprised. He didn't know why Xiao Zhenggong refused to take action.

Is it really just to test me?

Lao Chen looked at Xiao Zhenggong and said with a smile, "Are you afraid?"

Xiao Zhenggong didn't defend himself, he was indeed afraid.

The light bulb was even more puzzling.

Why is Xiao Zhenggong afraid?

They say he is the strongest in the team, so why should he be afraid of a white kid named Li Banfeng?

Old Chen looked at the old lady on the platform: "Li Banfeng will definitely have good luck three times if he takes something from Lucky Star.

In front of Fuxing, if you let Bulb go catch Li Banfeng, doesn't that mean you're letting Bulb die? "

The words left Bulb completely confused.

Who is the lucky star?

That old lady?

Will I die if I go?

Then why did Team Xiao let me go?

Bulb looked at Captain Xiao in astonishment. Captain Xiao had no special expression and no trace of guilt at all: "I'm not sure that's Lucky Star, and I'm not sure if Lucky Star has any intersection with Li Banfeng."

Not sure?

Not sure, just let me be the test subject?

Bulb's face turned pale, and his impression of Team Xiao had completely changed.

Captain Xiao continued: "The things in Li Banfeng's hands are very critical. We cannot let him take them away. We must bear certain risks for this!"

"Do you want me to bear the risk alone?" Bulb looked directly at Xiao Zhenggong.

Xiao Zhenggong looked calm and said: "This is your duty in the first place, but you lost track of Li Banfeng!"

Team Chen patted Bulb's back to comfort Bulb's mood.

When the lightbulb calmed down, Team Chen turned to look at Xiao Zhenggong: "Isn't it good to let that thing go where it should go?"

Xiao Zhenggong looked cold: "Li Banfeng is not a dark person. If he takes such important things to Puozhou, he will die. It's better to do it now..."

"I still say the same thing, if you want to go, go ahead," Captain Chen smiled, "Didn't you just say you wanted to kill this guy? Go ahead, I won't stop you!"

Xiao Zhenggong said nothing, he would not use his life to provoke the lucky star.

Old Chen looked at Li Banfeng's back and murmured in his heart:

Young man, with the blessing of the lucky star, you should be able to arrive in Pro Province safely.

But when you come back, I wonder if you will still look like this now.

Woo! Woo!

The whistle sounded again, as if urging the passengers to get on the train as soon as possible.

Li Banfeng arrived at the door of the green carriage. The conductor checked the ticket first, cut a notch on the ticket with pliers, and let Li Banfeng get on the train.

Entering the narrow passage of the carriage, Li Banfeng found his seat number seven.

Is this... a seat?

Li Banfeng pushed open the door number seven.

Behind the door is a small room.

Single room?

There are single rooms on the train in Huanguo?

There is a long chair in the room. This kind of long chair is very common on green trains, but in Li Banfeng's impression, there should be a pair of such chairs, but now there is only one.

In front of the chair is a small dining table, which is also standard on green trains, and Li Banfeng is also familiar with it.

Next to the dining table is the window. There are handles and buttons for opening the window at the two lower corners of the window. Li Banfeng was about to open the window to get some fresh air, but found that there were two doors in this small room.

Li Banfeng pushed open one of the doors, and a familiar smell came.

This is a toilet. You can see the railroad tracks directly along the toilet.

There is a washbasin next to the toilet.

This is the standard toilet of the green train.

A first-class sleeper ticket actually has a separate toilet?

Li Banfeng turned around and pushed open another door. Inside was another small room, or more accurately, a berth, because there was only one bed inside.

One bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom.

Is this exclusive to first-class sleepers?

Li Banfeng was worried that he had gone to the wrong place. Just as he was about to push the door and go out to ask about the situation, he suddenly heard the radio in the living room creaking:

"Dear passengers, welcome to the No. 1160 train. Passengers who have boarded the train, please do not move around at will. Passengers who are taking this train for the first time, please close the curtains, do not look out the window, and remember not to open the window.

The crew on the train is only responsible for checking tickets and reminding you when you arrive at the station. They will not disturb you at other times. If it is not necessary, please do not let strangers enter your compartment.

Wish you a pleasant journey."

Zila~

The broadcast stopped. Li Banfeng was just wondering about some strange rules, such as why you can't open the window and why you have to close the curtains.

The phone vibrated, and Li Banfeng received a message from He Jiaqing.

"Brother, you must abide by the rules on the train."
