There were many people waiting for the train at the train station. Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Ziwen took his two sisters and Zhou Chaoyang to the entrance to wait in line.
Chen Qiaoyi was pregnant. Zhou Ziwen carried two packages and protected her tightly behind him, for fear that she would be squeezed.
Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi also followed Zhou Ziwen closely, while Zhou Chaoyang was behind.
As time passed, the train they were going to take finally arrived.
The station attendant held an iron horn to maintain order and let them get on the train one by one.
"Let's go, our train is here." Zhou Ziwen said, taking the lead and walking towards the ticket gate.
They passed through the crowd, checked in and entered the station, and then found their carriages and seats along the platform.
After putting their luggage away, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters sat down, while Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi sat opposite them.
The train started slowly, made a rumbling sound, gradually accelerated, and left the platform.
Zhou Ziwen looked at the scenery outside the window and felt a little emotional.
After being away from home for so long, I am finally going back.
"We are really going." Chen Shiying said softly, her eyes fixed on the window.
Chen Qiaoyi held Zhou Ziwen's hand tightly, her eyes flashing with anticipation and nervousness: "Brother Ziwen, we will see our parents soon."
Zhou Ziwen patted her hand gently: "Yes, we will see them soon."
Thinking that his parents and brothers and sisters had not seen Yiyi yet, he was a little bit looking forward to it.
There are also nephews and nieces who were just born. I don’t know if they have learned to walk.
The train speeds on the rails, taking them across fields and over hills, heading towards their distant hometown. Zhou Ziwen and the others' hearts flew further and further along with the roar of the train.
......
In the train carriage, people began to settle down, and some passengers began to take out their own food and drinks to enjoy during the journey.
Zhou Ziwen and the others also took out some food from their luggage, preparing to kill time during the journey.
If there is saliva on the train, you can fight it yourself.
“Let’s eat something first! I have nothing to do anyway.”
Zhou Ziwen put out melon seeds, peanuts, dried fruits and the like.
It takes a long time to get to Bing City from Ping'an County, and we won't be able to get there in a while.
"Thank you, Brother Ziwen." Shen Zhaodi grabbed a handful of melon seeds and chatted with everyone while eating them.
At this moment, everyone had just gotten on the bus and was still relatively energetic. It was not boring to chat and laugh together.
Zhou Ziwen observed the other passengers in the carriage. Everyone was similar to them. Some were talking to their friends traveling with them, some were closing their eyes to relax, and some were looking at the scenery outside the window.
Zhou Ziwen also discovered several educated youths. They should also be returning to the city to visit relatives.
"Brother Ziwen, what are your plans when we go home this time?" Chen Qiaoyi asked.
Zhou Ziwen shook his head, "I don't have any plans, I just want to spend time with my family and let them see you and my sister."
"I want to go home too." Chen Qiaoyi hugged Zhou Ziwen's arm, missing her mother at home.
"Well, after we get to our house, we will go to your house." Zhou Ziwen patted her shoulder.
"Brother Ziwen, you are so kind." Chen Qiaoyi leaned her head on Zhou Ziwen's arms and said touchedly.
"Haha, you are my wife. If I am not kind to you, who will be kind to you?"
Zhou Ziwen took advantage of the situation and held her in his arms.
The train continued to move forward, and the atmosphere in the carriage gradually became lively.
Some passengers started talking to each other and sharing each other's stories and experiences.
Zhou Ziwen has good hearing and sometimes listens to them curiously.
Although some parents are short-sighted, listening to other people's life experiences will give him more experience. As time goes by, the train passes one station after another, and the passengers getting on and off make the atmosphere in the carriage constantly changing.
Zhou Ziwen and the others observed the changing scenery outside the window and felt the charm of the journey.
"Brother Ziwen, look at the mountains over there, they are so beautiful!" Chen Qiaoyi said excitedly, pointing to the mountains in the distance outside the window.
Zhou Ziwen looked in the direction she pointed and saw the rolling mountains looking particularly magnificent under the setting sun: "Yes, it's really beautiful. We can go home this time, too. Enjoy the scenery along the way.”
As night falls, the lights in the carriage turn on.
Zhou Ziwen and the others began to prepare for their night's rest. Since the train will travel all night, they need to find a comfortable position in their seats so that they can have a good rest.
They bought a hard seat, so they couldn't lie down to sleep. If they were tired, they could only sit up and sleep on a chair.
Despite the difficult conditions, their hearts were filled with warmth and expectation at the thought of returning home soon.
The train passed through the night, and the carriage gradually became quiet.
Zhou Ziwen and the others also fell asleep slowly amid the shaking of the train.
However, he is very alert. If a stranger approaches, he will wake up in an instant.
Not afraid of thieves or anything like that.
But he forgot that because they were too confident, they seemed unprepared, which actually made some people with evil intentions think that an opportunity had come.
In the train carriage late at night, most of the passengers have fallen asleep. The occasional snoring and the roar of the train tracks intertwine to form a unique journey movement.
Although Zhou Ziwen closed his eyes, his consciousness remained awake and he was always paying attention to the movements around him.
At this moment, there were some slight strange noises in the carriage. Zhou Ziwen's ears moved slightly, and he felt that someone was quietly approaching their position.
He did not open his eyes immediately, but continued to pretend to be asleep, while quietly adjusting his body posture to prepare for the situation.
Several figures shuttled back and forth in the dim carriage, their eyes scanning the seats, looking for possible targets.
When they came to Zhou Ziwen's position, one of them stopped, observed for a while, and then winked at his accomplices.
They began to approach cautiously, preparing to rummage through Zhou Ziwen's luggage, looking for valuables.
However, just as they stretched out their hands, Zhou Ziwen suddenly opened his eyes, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
His movements were quick and decisive, he grabbed the nearest hand, twisted it hard, and heard a suppressed cry of pain.
At the same time, Zhou Ziwen's attacks were like lightning, and he kept doing nothing. He stood up very simply and knocked them to the ground in two or three strokes. They couldn't get up for a long time.
"Come here, catch the thief."
With Shen Zhaodi's scream, the whole carriage instantly became lively.
“Thief, where is the thief?”
"No, my things have been stolen."
"My things have been stolen too."
"You stupid thieves, beat them to death."
>...
There was a noise in the carriage, and everyone also saw several thieves who were knocked to the ground by Zhou Ziwen.
People in this era are very united.
Seeing these thieves, they immediately gathered around and punched and kicked them.
Especially those who lost their things, they beat them the hardest and wanted to beat all these damn thieves to death.
Fortunately at this time, the movement here finally alerted the train staff.
“Stop, stop, get out of the way, don’t beat people to death.”
The commotion finally subsided as train staff arrived. (End of this chapter)
