Chapter 10 Dragon and Snake

December 20, at 4:30 pm. Zhongjiang Railway Station.

A taxi quickly drove into the railway station gate and stopped in a corner. Xu Huafeng was the first to jump out of the car, followed by Li Yue, daughter Xu Han and mother-in-law Wang Lian. Except for Xu Han, all of the family wore large sunglasses, which was somewhat inconsistent with the dim sky.

"This is a broken taxi," Li Yue pouted loudly: "It's small and squeezed, so stuffy."

"My aunt, just bear with it," Xu Huafeng looked around and lowered his voice: "The staff here are very complicated, don't be too ostentatious."

"What are you afraid of?" Li Yue said angrily: "We didn't do anything illegal, why do we make us look like a group of thieves?"

Xu Huafeng took off his sunglasses and glared at Li Yue fiercely: "You forgot the phone call your father called you at noon? Something happened to Yanghe Kindergarten. A cleaner was a pneumococcal patient! If we were discovered, we would be in the quarantine area, and we couldn't even leave there!"

"Don't argue with you two." Wang Lian walked over with Xu Han in his arms: "Look, Han Han seems to be sick."

The two of them hurriedly looked back and saw Xu Han drooping his head and his spirits were depressed and his face was a little flushed.

Li Yue touched Xu Han’s forehead with her hands, and the tentacles were hot!

"What should Hua Feng do? Hanhan has a fever! Do you want to see a doctor?" Li Yue was a little anxious.

Xu Huafeng looked at his watch and said, "The train is about to be driven in more than twenty minutes! Let's do this, I'll buy some medicine and ask Hanhan to take medicine first. Anyway, the train will arrive in just twenty hours. When we arrive in City P, we will take her to see a doctor."

Xu Huafeng left. Li Yue held her daughter and her mother and stood in the corner of the train station waiting anxiously.

Five minutes later, Xu Huafeng hurried back, wearing the large sunglasses on his face, and the collar of the windbreaker was also raised high.

"Don't make a sound," Xu Huafeng walked to Li Yue and lowered his voice: "Later, one of the people who were reporters, may know me."

Li Yue stretched her head and looked at it. A group of men and women with farmers were walking towards her. A young man with a round face seemed very active.

"Who is? Who is the reporter?" Li Yue asked.

"A person with round face in blue clothes." Xu Huafeng whispered to the sidewalk, "His name is Liu Xiao, and he is a reporter from Zhongjiang Evening News. He came to our bureau last month and had contact with me."

Li Yue put on her sunglasses and watched the group of people walking by her side silently.

"Let's go, the train is about to go." Xu Huafeng watched the group of people have walked away and took his daughter from Li Yue's arms.

Li Yue picked up her luggage and asked casually: "What carriage do we have?"

“No. 14.”

Liu Xiao had no idea that someone was deliberately avoiding him. He came to the train station to send his cousin Yang Sufen and his family. After being attacked by a group of rats in Yangjia Village, the government sent several thousand yuan to Yang Sufen and his family. This little money could not guarantee the life of Yang Sufen and his husband. In a helpless manner, Yang Sufen and his husband decided to go to S Province to join a relative. The relative was old and sick, but there was a broken house and about 10 acres of land. Because no one was farming, the land was almost abandoned. Yang Sufen and his family were able to replant the abandoned land in the past, at least they could maintain their lives.

Liu Xiao carried his cousin's luggage and was about to walk to the car lobby. Then he stopped and said to Yang Sufen: "When you get there, remember to call me and tell me if you have any difficulties. I will definitely help if you can."

Yang Sufen nodded gratefully: "Cousin, thank you. Look, we have caused you a lot of trouble in the past two days. You bought us a sleeper ticket and drove us to take it to you. It won't delay your work."

"Don't say polite words for a family," Liu Xiao waved his hand. He pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's good that you can leave here. It's not safe to live in Zhongjiang city now... Huh?"

Liu Xiao suddenly looked straight at the two men who were hurried by in gray windbreakers, with a little confused look on his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Yang Sufen looked back and saw the figures of the two men entering the waiting hall.

"It's nothing," Liu Xiao withdrew his gaze and scratched his scalp with his hands: "The figures of these two people are a little familiar. It seems that they have seen them recently, and they can't remember them again. Forget it, the time is almost over, and it's time for you to go in."

Yang Sufen took the luggage from Liu Xiao's hand, Duan Qiang walked up and held Liu Xiao's hand and said a few words of thanks. Liu Xiao smiled and said, "When you go out, you have to take good care of my cousin."

"Don't worry, brother." Duan Qiang grabbed Liu Xiao's hand and shook it hard, then took the family into the waiting hall.

Liu Xiao stretched his neck and looked at the waiting hall for a long time, but finally slapped his head helplessly: "I really can't remember it. Why do I always think that these two people have seen recently? Who have I met recently?"

The waiting hall was filled with people.

Two men in gray windbreakers lowered their heads and hugged in a corner, and from time to time raised their heads to glance at the door.

"He didn't follow in." A square-faced man whispered.

"Wait a minute." The companions were more cautious.

"He just talked to a group of people at the door of the waiting hall, and he should have sent people to the station. Now that those people are in, he probably won't come in." The square-faced man analyzed.

"It's better to be careful," said the companion gritting his teeth and angrily: "This reporter is very cunning. Even the shark boss is in his hands. If the rat group hadn't appeared in time, we would probably have to explain it in the mountains."

"Ph!" The square-faced man spat on the ground angrily.

"You're fucking blind!" A roar came from the square-faced man's head.

The square-faced man looked down and found that his spit was spitting on a man's leather shoes.

The square-faced man's companion quickly stood up and apologized: "I'm sorry, sorry, why don't I wipe it for you?"

"It's not your business," the man snorted and cursed, "As soon as I went out today, I was spitting out by this stupid guy. It's so fucking unlucky!"

"Who are you scolding?" The square-faced man rushed into his head with anger and stood up.

"I'll scold you, stupid." A tough man was facing him, looking at the square-faced man with a provocative look on his face.

The square-faced man was furious, but his body was pulled away by his companion.

"Dagger! Calm down." The companion whispered.

The man who was swearing was also dragged aside by his companion and persuaded him a few words. His other companion, a gorgeous woman, walked up to persuade him with a smile: "Brother, my friend has a little irritable temper, don't mind."

"It's okay, it's okay," the square-faced man's companion quickly reconciled: "It's our fault first, I'm sorry."

The woman smiled and walked away with the three men.

The square-faced man's companion turned around and saw the square-faced man staring at the backs of those people with his eyes squinted. He felt a little annoyed and shouted in a low voice, "Dagger! You don't look at the place, is this a place for trouble? Once the fight starts, the police will be alarmed. Do you know what the consequences are?"

The square-faced man sneered, "Viral snakes cannot be beaten, those people may be more afraid of alarming the police than we do."

"Oh?" The poisonous snake was stunned.

Dagger smiled and patted the venomous snake on the shoulder and whispered, "Brother, believe in my brother's eyes. Those people are definitely not good birds!"

"Why?"

Dagger smiled slightly: "I smelled them..."

At 4:55, the railway station platform No. 1.

The l63 train was parked at the side of the platform, and waves of people were crowded at the doors of various carriages, waiting for ticket inspection to get on the train. There were also some vendors on the platform pushing vans full of food and beverages, selling:

"Salt tea eggs, fresh salt tea eggs..."

"Instant noodles, 5 yuan/box..."

"Braised pig's trotters, Jero's braised pig's trotters..."

A tall man hurriedly walked to the vendor standing in the carriage No. 13 and asked, "Is there any instant noodles?"

The vendor was an aunt in her forties. He quickly replied, "Yes, 5 yuan/box."

"Give me 10 boxes." The man said with his head down.

The aunt was stunned. Generally, most people who buy instant noodles here buy one, two boxes for temporary hunger, and few people buy 10 boxes at the same time. She looked at the man in front of her. She was about 27 or 8 years old, with long hair, dust and sweat stains on her hair, and she looked messy, with stubborn sluts of varying depths on her chin, and she looked very sloppy.

"What brand of instant noodles do you want?" asked the aunt.

"Whatever." The man replied impatiently.

"There are 50 yuan in total for 10 boxes of instant noodles." The aunt decided to receive the money first and then get the goods.

The man put his right hand into a black travel bag with him and groped for a while, took out a brand new hundred-dollar bill and handed it to the aunt.

"Wow, such new money," the aunt raised the banknote and looked at the watermark, and asked casually: "Has it just withdrawn from the bank?"

The man's face changed and he whispered: "Give me instant noodles quickly!"

The aunt checked the banknotes quickly and put 10 boxes of instant noodles in a plastic bag to hand them to the man.

The man took the instant noodles and turned around and left. The aunt was a little surprised when she looked at the man's back as he hurriedly left. Why was this man in a panic when he bought instant noodles? She picked up the banknote and checked it carefully again. That's right! The watermark, color-changing ink and the concave and concave feeling on the pattern are all fine, it was real banknotes. Suddenly, the aunt's body shook and looked up and shouted: "Hey! I haven't found money for you yet!"

However, the figure of the man was gone on the platform. It seemed that he had already gotten into the car.

The aunt shook her head helplessly - there are so many strange things these days.

At 5:10 pm, the L63 train departed from Zhongjiang Railway Station on time.
