C927 A Storm on the Train(1)
To be honest, if she went to the provincial capital of your province or some other big cities, maybe the train would not be so bad. The conditions were so bad. But they were going to the poorest mountain in the southwest of the province. Most of the land in the province did not even have a decent medium-sized city. They could not afford to go there. Naturally, the train would be the worst kind of Green-Skinned Carriages.
As soon as she sat on the long green bench, Yang Li found chewing gum from her heavy backpack. She stuffed it into her mouth and chewed hard, trying to reduce the stink in the carriage. Fann Binn did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this. He knew, not to mention Yang Li, many of the first batch of Beihai University students and teachers who went to the countryside to teach would encounter such a situation. This was the pain of being poor and falling behind.
Fann Binn and the other two sat in their seats and saw that when the train was about to start, there were still many migrant workers and farmers squeezed into the carriage. At this time, the seats in the carriage were already full. Those who came in seemed to be very self-aware. They all tried to stand on both sides of the aisle, but even though they were very self-aware, however, as the crowd continued to increase, the aisle was still filled. They didn't even have the space to turn around and move around.
Yang Li frowned. She clearly felt that everything in front of her was too unbelievable. It was probably also her first time experiencing what it meant to be crowded in the train. It was said that the bus was crowded, but looking at the green pickup in front of her, it was obviously not the same as before. This trip seemed to have given Yang Li quite a deep impression.
Of course, Fann Binn and Jie Donglai sometimes revealed surprised and helpless expressions, but they were after all people who had suffered, so they were not surprised by such a phenomenon and did not appear to be very shocked.
"Fann Binn, how long will it take for our train to reach the destination?" Yang Li asked from time to time, "It can't be that we have to stay in such an environment for a long time, right?"
Fann Binn took out his phone and searched on the internet. He looked up and smiled at Yang Li, "According to the timetable of the train, it will take 35 hours to drive to the southwestern town of your province. It will take one and a half days."
"What did you say?" Yang Li widened her beautiful eyes and almost cried out in surprise. But very quickly, she nodded with a gloomy expression and said, "I, I know..."
The thirty-five-hour train, not to mention Yang Li, even Fann Binn had a painful expression on his face. This was undoubtedly a tough journey. From the beginning, one had to endure hardships.
"Wu..." Yang Li completely lost her hope. She leaned against the wall and stared blankly out the window. The train finally let out a long cry and started its journey. The three of them were getting closer and closer to the road to the destination town.
"Wow... Wah..." About five or six hours later, as the train wobbled, Yang Li, who was a little sleepy, was about to close her eyes when a sharp child's cry erupted from within the carriage. It immediately made her completely sleepy. Very quickly, a burst of quarreling attracted the attention of everyone in the carriage, whether they were standing or sitting.
"What's going on?" Yang Li rubbed her beautiful eyes and looked towards the source of the voice, along with Fann Binn and Jie Donglai.
She saw a woman carrying a child with a face cloth covering her face. She was smoking and holding a cigarette in her mouth. The brawny man with the face of a bandit was apologizing, as if she was afraid that the child's crying would disturb the passengers in the carriage. She kept trying to cover the child's face with the blanket, trying to prevent him from crying. What was strange was that the woman's clothes were very tattered. However, the blanket that wrapped the child was made of silk and looked very high-end. The contrast was quite obvious.
Fann Binn saw all of this and could not help but frown. At this time, the man with the cigarette in his mouth pushed the woman and roared angrily. “ How did you walk? Kid, if you want to pee, then go to the toilet. Look at me, what's going on? Don't you know what it means to pee? You can just apologize to someone else and play with them? Let me tell you, if you don't pay me today, then don't even think about finishing this!"
" I'm sorry, big brother. I really didn't see it. Children don't stink when they pee. You have to bear with it as much as you can. " The woman was in a hurry to explain. She looked around from time to time. Just as she was about to leave, the man reached out and stopped her.
"If apologizing works, then why did the police come? Let me tell you, you have to pay me five hundred dollars. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving! "The man grabbed the woman's arm and sneered. "Don't make me angry when you refuse a toast. It's not as simple as compensation!"
The dispute between the woman and the man immediately caused many passengers in the carriage to whisper to each other. Many people were talking about the man. He was actually so calculative with a woman who was taking care of a child. He was simply not a man. But no matter what, no one came forward to help the poor woman. After all, it was none of his business. Nowadays, it was not wise to be a hero. Furthermore, the man was tall and big, and he was tall and sturdy. One look and one could tell that he was not someone to be trifled with.
"Let her go! How could a grown man like you have the nerve to bully a weak woman? Furthermore, she has a child with her. Don't you have any humanity at all? " However, a clear female voice suddenly rang out in the carriage. And the source of the voice came from the seat, standing up. Yang Li, who was somewhat indignant, could not bear to watch.
Fann Binn slapped his forehead. He knew that Yang Li was meddling in this matter. They could not ignore it even if they wanted to. Yang Li was just a hot-headed girl. She was a typical girl who had never seen the world. Fann Binn was so angry that he pulled her back to her seat on the spot and angrily said, "You are the only one who is good, and you are the only one who is arrogant, right? Other people do not care about this matter. What are you worrying about? Our mission is to arrive at our destination safely, not to meddle in other people's business! "
When Yang Li heard this, she immediately argued," Fann Binn, how can you say that? Look at that woman hugging the child so pitifully. That man still wanted to deliberately make things difficult for her. He was really not a man. I definitely can't watch other people not care. I have to care! "
"Miss, you don't know how dangerous the Jianghu is, and you don't know how life is like. Some things are not as simple as right or wrong, there are too many unfair things in this world. If you have to care about everything, you will die of exhaustion! " Fann Binn curled his lips and said somewhat speechlessly, "Put away your pity. Some things are not as simple as they look on the surface."
"I really did not expect Fann Binn to be such a cold person." Yang Li's face was full of disappointment, and she said angrily, as if she was sulking. " You don't like to meddle in other people's business. You can ignore it. I'm the one meddling in other people's business, so I'll be responsible for this! "
"You..." Fann Binn saw that Yang Li did not listen to what he said and could not help but say helplessly, "Alright, then you go and manage it. See who will be the one to suffer in the end."
"If you go, then go. Who is afraid of who? Humph!" Yang Li stood up again like fighting spirit and walked towards the man who was looking at her.
The burly man, who was covered in dirt and had a tall and sturdy body, clearly saw Yang Li shouting in front of him. When she was so beautiful and moving, his eyes almost popped out. He was stunned on the spot for a moment and did not say anything.
"I say, big brother, please spare me. I really don't have much money on me, and I still have a child to take with me. I'm suffering, I... " Seeing that the brawny man was captivated by Yang Li's beauty, the woman seemed to flash a trace of anger. She hurriedly spoke.
At this time, the brawny man finally reacted and threw the cigarette butt in his hand onto the ground. He said disdainfully to Yang Li, "Pretty girl, sit properly if you are not in your seat. Do you want to meddle in other people's business? Fine, give me the money. I promise I won't hurt this woman. Otherwise, I'll hit her and make up my mind!"
"Sir, I'm the teacher of the branch teacher. My surname is Yang. I would like to ask you, are you still a man with courage? It was already very difficult for a woman to squeeze the train with a child. Children could not control themselves when they urinated. It was normal to accidentally urinate on you when changing diapers. Why should you ask them to pay you 500 yuan? Can't you act like a man and haggle with women? Are you still a man? You!"
Yang Li opened her mouth and criticized him," You must have a wife and a child at your age, right? What would you think if your wife saw this scene in the car? "
"Yes, that's right..."
"Being like this is too much."
"This female teacher is really cultured. She has so many reasons to scold others, she's really amazing!"
Soon, the voices of denouncing the brawny man could be heard from the surroundings. Although they were weak, it was still much better than being indifferent just now. At the same time, it also strengthened Yang Li's courage, making her originally somewhat perturbed mood become much firmer.
The brawny man's face turned red and then white. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, alright. I was wrong, alright? I don't want you to pay up anymore. You can leave!"
The brawny man's change in attitude immediately made Yang Li feel a little smug. She was very satisfied with her decision to intervene. At this time, she deliberately glanced at Fann Binn's side with a proud look, as if she was saying to Fann Binn. Look, didn't you say that I don't have the ability to interfere in this matter? Didn't this resolve the matter?
"Thank you, thank you, Miss. You are really a good person..." At this moment, the woman suddenly cried and knelt down towards Yang Li. She cried out to Yang Li, "I am a person with a miserable life. My husband died early. She originally wanted to come to a developed place to work for a relative, but who knew that the relative was a bad person. He forced me to marry him. I was not afraid that he would bully me. I had no choice but to catch this train and return to my hometown... But even if I return to my hometown, so what? I don't have a house to live in. I, I really have a hard life! It doesn't matter if I suffer a little... But how will my child live, how will he live... Teacher Yang, you are a good person, if possible... Help me!"
Yang Li was confused by the woman's actions and quickly helped her up. "Big Sister, what are you doing? Get up and speak. As long as I can help, I will naturally be obligated to do so. There's no need to kneel, let's talk properly."
"Sigh, I didn't expect you to be so pitiful. How about this? I have a thousand yuan here. If you don't think it's too little... Take it and use it. " At this moment, the brawny man beside him felt extremely ashamed when he heard this. He took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and stuffed them into the woman's arms as he said guiltily, "It was my fault just now. I'm not a human. I hope you can forgive me. If I had known that you were so miserable, I wouldn't have wanted your money so badly... "
