Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 9: Getting off the train

When he woke up again, the carriage was still noisy. Jiang Yu glanced at the clock hanging at the front of the carriage, which showed that it was already 10:28.

Lunch time was approaching, Jiang Yu was in a good mood, touching the small package in his arms and looking out the window to refresh himself.

Their corner was quite quiet. There were six of them, some sleeping and some reading.

Jiang Yu felt that this was quite good, peaceful and quiet. She was not a person who liked noisy environments. It might be because of the influence of the environment in her previous life. Too many people gathered together and made excessive noise, which would not only easily attract external enemies, but also cause problems within the seemingly united society.

Jiang Yu was still brooding over the ambush she had suffered in her previous life. Of course, who could let go of such a thing? And she suspected from the bottom of her heart that the people who killed her were the so-called honest people in the nearby base.

She looked at the trees along the way, and the image of the skinny and hungry survivors emerged in her mind. They begged for food, crouched low, and appeared weak and powerless.

Jiang Yu was touched by the elderly people and remembered the old lady next door who died to save her at the beginning of the apocalypse. She softened her heart and gave the old lady a piece of snow beast meat to fill her stomach...

As a lone wolf, struggling to survive in the apocalypse, Jiang Yu boasts that she is vigilant and capable, but as a human being, can compassion really be completely abandoned? A little bit of softness cost her her life...

Jiang Yu lowered her eyes, her clenched teeth causing the muscles on both sides of her cheeks to tremble slightly, which revealed her inner unrest.

Don't be soft-hearted and never make the same mistake again in your life!

Jiang Yu secretly vowed in his heart that even in a peaceful era, being soft-hearted would not necessarily be rewarded with kindness!

The sun avoided the clouds and shone warmly on the moving train. The light filled Jiang Yu's eyelids, making her feel a little warm.

At 11:3, the dining car on the train was pushed over, and the staff member in an apron shouted loudly, "Boxed lunches, there are meat and vegetarian boxes, vegetarian ones are 4 cents, meat ones are cents, do you want eggs or steaks?" She bent down and asked the educated youth who waved, and her hands did not stop, lifting the cotton cloth covering the dining car, preparing to take out the boxes of lunch.

After hearing the noise, Jiang Yu quietly took out his steamed bun, minced meat and pickled vegetables, and of course the kettle with half a pot of water left. He lowered his head and started drinking!

Xue Li was awakened by the hawking of a lunch box vendor. He yawned, squinted his tearful eyes, opened his small package, and took out a pickled mustard greens pancake and two green peppers.

Other educated youth who brought their own meals also started to take action.

For a moment, the whole carriage was filled with the strong aroma of food.

Don't think it's fragrant. To be honest, it makes you feel nauseous if you smell it too much.

Jiang Yu sat by the window, and could feel the occasional breeze refreshing his nasal cavity, while the educated youth sitting inside did not enjoy their meals.

It is June now, and the temperature is rising. It is hot and stuffy. In addition to the aroma of food, there is also human body odor and foot odor in the carriage. The bathroom at the end of the carriage is like a biological weapon. The smell that leaks out when it is opened and closed is enough to make people feel suffocated.

The afternoon hours were beginning to become a torture.

Jiang Yu took out a tomato. The tomato was refreshing and made her feel more comfortable in this environment.

Xue Li looked at her tomatoes with envy, but was too embarrassed to ask her to exchange them, because the people around her were looking at Jiang Yu with obvious intentions in their eyes. If she asked to exchange, others might follow suit and say it was too much trouble.

Jiang Yu didn't care about what others thought and just enjoyed his meal.

Others who brought cucumbers, tomatoes or fruits also took them out to satisfy their cravings.

The temperature was getting higher and higher, and Jiang Yu was a little wilted. She leaned against the back of the hard chair and felt her legs, buttocks and waist were numb.

However, the further north the car goes, the lower the temperature. You can clearly feel that in the evening, after entering the northeast, the temperature outside drops a lot.

Jiang Yu got up to go to the toilet and asked Xue Li to help look after the luggage.

Xue Li naturally agreed, "I'm going to go there later, so you can help me."

"Okay." Jiang Yu agreed, walked around the legs of others and went to the toilet.

After going to the toilet, Jiang Yu went to get a pot of water and came back to exchange it with Xue Li.

The clouds in the sky were turning red, and looking from the other side of the train, you could see a big salted egg yolk hanging in the sky.

The dining car slowly arrived as the sky gradually darkened.

Jiang Yu took out the same food as at noon. She prepared 6 steamed buns today. She ate one in the morning, 3 at noon, and had two left to fill her stomach at night. In addition to the steamed buns, there were also two egg cakes.

Xue Li's dinner was the box lunch he bought in the car, which consisted of braised pork and shredded potatoes with vegetables. Apart from the fact that the rice was wet due to moisture, the taste was very good.

But after sitting in the car for a long time, his appetite was poor. When Xue Li opened the lid, he asked Jiang Yu if he wanted to share the food.

Jiang Yu agreed, took out a clean aluminum lunch box and handed it to her, along with half of the meal money.

"I still have a cucumber, let's share it." Jiang Yu said, it is true that the braised pork is very fragrant, but it is also true that he has a poor appetite and feels greasy now.

"Thank you." Xue Li happily took half a cucumber.

After dinner, the temperature in the car gradually became comfortable.

The educated youth who went to the countryside also became energetic and chatted a lot. Some of them even organized singing. The carriage was noisy and lively.

Jiang Yu hugged his chest and closed his eyes to rest, but in fact his ears were perked up, listening to the movements nearby, wanting to hear gossip and watch the fun. His butt was almost numb after sitting for a whole day, and he had to have some fun to relax.

Xue Li, on the other hand, stood up and knelt on the seat like a child, then leaned on the back of the chair to watch the people behind him playing. From time to time, he cheered for the girl who sang beautifully and was very supportive.

"You sing well!" "It sounds good!" "One more!" "Wow, you must be a professional, you sing so well~"

Soon, the singing girls were made to laugh out loud by Xue Li.

Liang Liang was moved by Xue Li's excitement and also leaned on the back of the chair to watch others perform.

The voice of poetry recitation is inspiring and loud, the tune of singing is gentle and lingering, the sadness of parting has gradually faded away, and what is more important is the young people's beautiful expectations for the unknown future.

I don't know how much of their passionate feelings will remain after they actually go to the countryside and work on the fields themselves.

Jiang Yu encouraged himself. Farming is easier for those with more strength! It's better than the doomsday disaster, right?

Jiang Yu had never farmed before, but even though she was still in the car, she was already beginning to feel anxious. Not only about farming, she was also anxious about her future life, and all the unknowns made her worried.

There is no way, people's expectations for the future are always accompanied by anxiety.
