Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

The boss watched him eat as if he was watching a foreign spectacle.

There are very few respectable people coming to eat noodles in this small restaurant, and yet this man is so effeminate that he stuffs a handkerchief around his neck.

The boss had been laughing in his heart for a long time. If he hadn't been afraid that the gentleman would get angry and cause trouble for his family, he would definitely have laughed heartily for a while.

Shen Jiaxing ate a bowl of noodles and took out a dollar. "Boss, check."

The boss bent down, took it with a smile on his face, and blew a breath to his lips out of habit.

Seeing Shen Jiaxing staring at him, he quickly explained: "I'm used to it. I don't mean anything else. I'll give you the change right away."

Shen Jiaxing nodded without saying anything. After the boss gave him the change, he put it in his pocket without counting it and walked out.

The boss was still polite behind him, "Take care! I'll see you next time!"

Shen Jiaxing kept looking at his watch at the entrance of the train station, and felt that Ai Shutong was more and more unreliable.

Train carriages are divided into three classes: first class goes first, second class comes second, and third class comes last.

Just think about how crowded the third-class carriage is. For a young and beautiful girl like her, sitting alone in a third-class carriage is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. There is a high probability that something bad will happen!

Even if he couldn't buy a first-class carriage, he would find a way to get her a second-class carriage.

Then you have to get to the train station in advance to board the train.

It was almost half past one when Ai Shutong finally arrived.

Shen Jiaxing was patted on the shoulder. When he turned around, he was almost scared to death.

"You, you, you're wearing this to take the train?"

Ai Shutong raised the bag in her hand and said, "I prepared some clothes for traveling, but I need to find a place to change."

Shen Jiaxing admired her so much that he pulled her towards the restaurant where they had just eaten noodles. "Miss, look at the time. Do you think you can still catch the train?"

"There is no direct train from Beijing to Shanghai. I bought you a ticket for the Pingpu train to Nanjing, and then a boat ticket to cross the river."

"Then take the Shanghai-Nanjing train to Shanghai."

"But don't worry. When you get to Nanjing, go directly to Nanjing University and find a professor named Ye Menghe."

They had already arrived at the noodle shop, and Shen Jiaxing raised his voice and asked, "Boss, is there a place for this lady to change her clothes?"

When the boss saw the man in a suit who had eaten noodles here at noon came back again, bringing a modern lady in a big skirt with him, his eyes suddenly widened.

Shen Jiaxing shouted, "I'll give you ten cents, and you find me a place to change clothes!"

Of course the boss wants to make this money. He has to sell four bowls of noodles for ten cents to make that much.

Just find a place, change clothes, and get a dime. Only a fool would refuse.

He quickly shouted to the inner room, "Erya, come out quickly."

"I'm here, Dad. What's the matter?" A little girl in her teens with long braids came out.

Boss: "Take this lady to your room to change her clothes."

Erya responded crisply, "Okay."

He took Ai Shutong and walked towards the backyard.

Shen Jiaxing was worried that Ai Shutong might be abducted, so he followed the two closely and came to the back of the noodle shop.

It turned out that there was a small courtyard at the back. On the east side, there were three small earthen houses in a row, but they were not as grand as the brick house on the west side that was used as a noodle shop.

The little girl took Ai Shutong into the house, and Shen Jiaxing was waiting for her in the yard.

Ai Shutong, who came out again, looked very different.

A blue cotton coat that reached the knees, revealing cotton pants at the calves, and a pair of black cloth shoes on the feet, which were not enough to keep out the cold in this season...

Although it is a bit cold, it is a hundred times safer than what I just wore!

Shen Jiaxing stopped blaming her and said directly, "Hurry up, we're going to miss the train."

While walking out in a hurry, he took out change from his pocket and gave a dime to the boss when he passed the counter.

Give the rest to Ai Shutong.

"When you're out alone, don't take out a lot of money all the time. It's easy to be targeted!"

"I just mentioned Ye Menghe. He is my good friend. Give him this letter and he will arrange for someone to send you to Shanghai."

"Shanghai has all kinds of people. You are a little girl who is unfamiliar with the place. It's easy for something to happen. It's safer to have someone take you there."

"When you get there, write me a letter saying you're safe..."

Ai Shutong's eyes were red and she nodded as she walked.

She was reluctant to leave before she even left. This city had the kindhearted Lin Ma, caring teachers, good friends, and a group of lovely classmates...

***

Ai Shutong sat in the second-class carriage and tugged at her blue cloth jacket uncomfortably.

I looked up at the two girls opposite me with curly hair and wearing coats.

The second-class carriage has four seats in a row, all of which are soft seats and provide ample space.

She didn't even have a book and was extremely bored. She played with her fingers and looked out the window.

I fell asleep unconsciously.

"Boom-boom--"

The sound of wooden sticks hitting tables and chairs woke Ai Shutong up. Before she even looked up, she heard two loud words, "Robbery!"

Ai Shutong lowered her slightly raised head back onto her right arm.

The left hand hanging under the small table moved, and a small bottle appeared.

The small bottle originally contained Vaseline, and she deliberately added black pearl powder into it. Once it was stirred, the Vaseline turned black.

This was what she prepared and put into the space as soon as she made the escape plan.

The original owner's face, which brought disaster to the country and the people, is too unsafe in this era.

As time passed, the scar on her forehead became lighter and lighter, and her appearance became more and more prosperous.

Oh! It's really not a good thing.

As he thought about it, he quickly twisted the bottle with his thumb, scooped out a small piece, and secretly smeared it on his face.

She didn't even spare the neck.

The robbers had already started collecting valuables from the passengers along the seats.

Ai Shutong sat obediently in her seat and waited.

There was only a dress in her bag, and she had only the change given to her by Teacher Shen.

The rest of the things were put into the space.

She had already thought it through. When the three men came over with bags, she would just throw her bag into them.

Then, in front of the robber, he emptied his pockets and handed over all the change.

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

Two robbers holding sticks walked towards Ai Shutong, their eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

They all stopped in front of Ai Shutong at the same time.

Ai Shutong clenched her hands tightly. She felt very regretful now.

She should have taken the time to buy some pistols from Allen earlier.

The reason why she didn't schedule buying a gun was because the Jin family kept a close eye on her, leaving her with no chance to practice shooting.

She once read in the newspaper that a police chief accidentally shot his subordinate's palm when his gun went off while he was cleaning it.

This made Ai Shutong feel very insecure about guns in this era, and she thought about learning systematically before buying a gun.

However, when the real danger came, Ai Shutong realized that the lack of time and the lack of security all became so insignificant, and saving her life was the most important thing!
