After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

The next morning, Tong Jia was awakened by the cold of a metal box.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a metal box of bullets right next to his pillow.

Tong Jia suddenly became alert and sat up, thinking of the insole he had put under his pillow before going to bed last night. He lifted the pillow again and saw that the insole was gone, and a small pistol was lying side by side under the pillow.

She picked one up and looked at it carefully. It was slightly different from the pistol she had received from the Tao family. It seemed that there was an extra part.

Tong Jia wanted to find Tao Junle to observe together, only to find that she was the only one in the dormitory and Tao Junle's bed was empty.

Tong Jia was now completely awake. He put the bullets and pistol on the bed into the RV and was about to run out. As soon as he opened the door of the dormitory, he was shivered by a gust of cold wind.

I quickly went back to the room to put on my coat, and when I went out again, I saw Tao Junle walking towards the dormitory with a lot of bags.

Tong Jia quickly ran over, took half of the things in his hand, and asked, "Where have you been so early in the morning?"

Tao Junle's hands were full of things and he couldn't communicate in writing. He could only raise his chin and signal Tong Jia to go back to the dormitory first and explain after returning.

Tong Jia didn't ask any more questions and went back to the dormitory first with her things.

As soon as Tao Junle entered, she closed the dormitory door and helped Tao Junle take off the basket on his arms and the bag on his back. Then she asked, "Did you go to the cafeteria? Why did you bring back so many things?"

Tao Junle shook his arms, picked up a pen and paper from the table and wrote: [This morning, Aunt Qi and Brother Da Kui came to me and said that there were still a lot of things stored in the cafeteria, and they would go bad if no one took care of them.

So, the two of us picked out the good ones and sent some to the chef first.

I split the rest with Brother Da Kui.

There were only two of us, and my sister already had so much in stock, so I didn't ask for more.

But Aunt Qi insisted that there was a lot of time left and she would rather let the things go bad than have nothing in the house, so she still stuffed a lot of things into my house.

The bag on my back is so heavy, I don't even know what Aunt Qi stuffed into my pocket.

Tong Jia opened the bag and checked what was inside, saying, "Since you were going to the cafeteria to get something, why didn't you call me?"

Tao Junle continued to write: [Today we are setting off for Guisui. We are not sure what the situation will be like on the road. You need to get enough rest to deal with emergencies on the road.

I still look like a child. As long as I follow you closely and don't get knocked unconscious and taken away by the flower-slapping boy, I'll be safe.]

After writing, he looked up and gave Tong Jia a bright smile.

However, Tong Jia did not see his smile because her attention was completely attracted by the things in the bag that Tao Junle brought back.

I originally thought there would be food inside, but when I opened the bundle, I saw two small bundles wrapped in a quilt, which turned out to be a clay stove, a casserole and a two-layer bamboo steamer.

After the two of them looked at each other, Tong Jia said, "Auntie Qi must have been worried that we would feel uncomfortable eating something cold, so she specially packed these things for us. She even wrapped them in a quilt to prevent them from breaking. That's really thoughtful of her."

Lele, we must remember Aunt Qi's kindness and repay her well when we have the chance in the future."

Tao Junle nodded, pointed to the clay stove, casserole and steamer, and asked Tong Jia to put them in the RV while he continued to check the contents of the other four baskets.

After Tong Jia finished putting away the things, she also helped to lift the cloth covering the basket.

Each of the four baskets was filled with loose rice, millet and mung beans, with eggs buried inside these grains. The only difference was what was placed on top.

In the basket closest to Tong Jia, there were three paper bags on the top: a bag of salt, a bag of white sugar, and a bag of brown sugar.

In the second basket, on top were three glass bottles: a bottle of soy sauce, a bottle of vinegar, and a bottle of sesame oil.

In the third basket, there were two ceramic jars on the top, one jar of lard and the other jar of fermented bean curd.

In the fourth basket, there was only a ceramic jar on the top, which was filled with pickles that the master chef had previously pickled.

Seeing these things, Tong Jia's eyes became a little moist.

Aunt Qi probably estimated based on how much Tong Jia and Tao Junle usually ate in the cafeteria. The food in these four baskets could feed the two of them until the end of the Chinese New Year.

Thinking of this, Tong Jia asked: "Le Le, have you told Aunt Qi that we are going on a long trip soon?

But don't let us go, Aunt Qi and the others are here to deliver something to us, and if we encounter any danger on the way, it will be our fault."

Tao Junle nodded and leaned over the table to write again: [I said it, but the number of words she knows is limited, and I can't write too many words in front of her.

She knew we were going on a long journey, and seeing that I gestured that we would be back in half a month at most, she thought we were going back to our hometown to worship our ancestors.

I thought this reason was appropriate, so I didn't correct it.]

Tong Jia said, "That's right. Then let's pack up and go directly to the train station. When we come back, we can take some things and visit Aunt Qi at her home.

This will not only reassure her, but also let her know that we are thinking of her."

Tao Junle nodded, and directly lifted up all the bedding on his bed and folded it up, then turned back to look at Tong Jia and asked her to put it into the RV.

Tong Jia was packing up her things while saying, "You're such a miser! You're even more frugal than me. What's the point of just leaving these sheets and quilts on the bed? Can anyone use them?"

Tao Junle ran to the table and stood there writing: [Even if it's not being used, it'll still collect dust after being away for half a month. Put it away, and when you come back, just take it out and spread it out. No need to wash the sheets and pillowcases every time you get home.]

Well, that's a reason too.

When Tong Jia put the last thing that Tao Junle pointed out into the RV, the whole dormitory looked even cleaner than when they first moved in.

So Tong Jia locked the door, carried an empty suitcase, and took Tao Junle to the train station.

Because there was no bus to Guisui until the evening, the two people felt that the air in the train station was not very good after buying the tickets, so they found a deserted place, put their suitcases in the RV, and then went for a walk on the street.

They were not shopping for daily necessities and food that can be bought in department stores, but for cultural relics and ornaments in antique shops.

Because there were rumors everywhere that a tough battle was about to come, the prices of items in these antique shops plummeted.

The shop owner was sighing and had no mood to greet anyone.

It was not until Tong Jia took a fancy to a Hetian jade ruyi and asked him about the price that he raised his head excitedly.

He asked directly: "Miss, are you serious about it? If you are, I will give you a reasonable price. If you are just curious, please don't tease me, an old man, here."

The war is about to start, and I really don’t know if I can keep the things in this store. Sigh…”

Tong Jia nodded and said, "Boss, of course I want it sincerely.

Our school was on vacation, and it happened to be my grandmother's birthday, so we planned to go back to our hometown as a family.

Our whole family was almost worried to death about her birthday gift. This jade ruyi not only has good meaning, but is also very practical for her.

If you give me a sincere price, I'll buy it right away if I'm in charge. If it's beyond my budget, I'll have to wait until I get home to tell my parents and have them come over to take a look."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he felt that there was hope.

So, he immediately stood up and introduced Tong Jia to other things. In addition to Yu Ru, he also introduced her to several pairs of jade bracelets and gemstone head ornaments.

The prices are very reasonable. A gemstone head ornament that usually costs thousands of silver dollars now only costs Tong Jia seventy silver dollars, and the jade ruyi only costs twenty silver dollars.

Tong Jia didn't want to show off his wealth too much, so he only spent twenty silver dollars to buy the jade ruyi.

After the payment was made, Tong Jia found a hidden and safe place for Tao Junle to hide temporarily, while she herself entered the RV and disguised herself.

About half an hour later, Tong Jia transformed into a middle-aged woman with a noble air.

She entered the antique shop again, asked about the prices, and bought all the items that Tao Junle had identified as real jade, real gold, and real antiques.

After buying these things, Tong Jia was worried that someone might follow her because she was too lavish this time, so she deliberately walked in the opposite direction of Tao Junle's hiding place.

Sure enough, after walking through two alleys, I heard footsteps getting closer and closer behind me.

Tong Jia flashed into the RV. While removing her makeup, she observed the situation outside through the four-way surveillance camera.

She didn't come out of the RV until the people sent by the antique shop owner to follow her left.

After running as fast as possible to meet up with Tao Junle, the two of them bought a lot of snacks on the street.

They strolled and ate, strolled and ate all the way, and time came to night. When the two arrived at the waiting hall, they received the news that the train they were going to take was about to be checked.

Following the crowd, I was involuntarily squeezed onto the train.

After squeezing into one carriage after another, they finally arrived at their hard sleeper carriage.

They only bought one sleeper ticket, so the two of them took turns resting.

Tao Junle went to bed in the first half of the night, Tong Jia stayed on duty, and then recovered in the second half.

In the eyes of many people on the bus, this child and this young girl were simply the easiest prey to bully.

But the two of them didn't leave their seats, so those who were eyeing them didn't find any opportunity.

Just as the train was about to arrive in Guisui, an old lady suddenly fell to the ground as she passed by Tong Jia and her friends' bunk.

After someone nearby helped the old lady up, a middle-aged man looked around and said directly to Tao Junle, "Little brother, this grandma is not feeling well. Can you let her lie down on your bunk for a while?"

At that time, Tong Jia was still lying down and sleeping. She said this directly to Tao Junle, which clearly showed that she thought the two of them were easy to bully.

Unfortunately, Tao Junle did not respond directly.

When the middle-aged man who was asking the question saw that Tao Junle did not respond, he began to use moral blackmail, but Tao Junle just gestured with a confused look on his face, saying that he was deaf and dumb and did not know what it meant.

After discovering that Tao Junle was deaf-mute, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed, but in a place where no one could see, his calf was twisted by the "fainted" old lady.

Then the man reacted.

Even if Tao Junle, the deaf-mute, is not worth much, Tong Jia, the virgin, is still worth much.

So, the middle-aged man winked at a young woman standing on the side. The woman understood and immediately walked to Tong Jia's bunk, wanting to pat Tong Jia to wake her up.

But Tao Junle was on high alert and refused to let the woman touch Tong Jia.

The middle-aged man stood up, picked up Tao Junle and was about to throw him aside, but Tao Junle's hands were tightly clasped with Tong Jia's, and there was no way to separate the two.

Although the two were not separated, Tong Jia could no longer pretend to be asleep.

Tong Jia, pretending to have just woken up, asked confusedly, "What happened? Why is it so noisy?"

The middle-aged man coughed and said, "My mother has been standing all night and fainted from exhaustion. Can I borrow your bunk to lie down for a while?"

Tong Jia smiled at him and said, "Uncle, I was sleeping just now. There were other empty bunks next to me, or there were people not sleeping in the bunks. Why didn't you ask those people? Instead, you focused on my bunk?

Do you think my brother is deaf and dumb, and I'm just a girl with a thin skin? Even if you guys occupy my bed, I can't say anything and can only swallow my anger, right? "

"no……"

"If that's not the case, then why when someone fainted, your first reaction wasn't to look for the conductor or the doctor on the train, but instead you had to get me, who was still sleeping, to get up and give my seat to that fainted grandma who was still strangling people?" Tong Jia didn't give the middle-aged man a chance to refute and directly told him what she had just seen.

The middle-aged man was speechless and looked at the young woman.

The young woman nodded gently and said, "Yes. This lady is right. It's also my fault for not thinking straight earlier. Seeing the old lady fainted, I was worried about an accident, so I followed his line of thought."

Now that I think about it, it's true. When something happened, instead of asking the conductor or the doctor, he asked the girl to give up her berth. I'm afraid he had other intentions than the bar.

"Girl, don't be afraid. Before you get off the bus, I'll be here to protect you. Anyone who wants to take advantage of you will have to get past me first."

What a good way to protect yourself and then prepare to sneak into Chencang.

Tong Jia knew that she and Tao Junle had been targeted, but she was not sure how many people were in the gang.

So, she didn't expose the young woman, but instead held her hand with gratitude and said, "Sister, thank you so much.

We are going to Suiyuan and won't arrive until tomorrow morning. It would be embarrassing for you to stand here for a whole day and a night."

The young woman immediately said, "Don't be embarrassed, I'm going to Suiyuan too.

I see there's an empty berth above yours, so I'll go ask the conductor for a ticket.

Don't worry, I'm here with you all the way, and I'll make sure you and your brother don't make any mistakes."

After saying that, she really ran to find the conductor to buy a new ticket. The young woman came back with the ticket and luggage and winked at the middle-aged man.

The man snorted and said, "They are all rich but unkind people, bah!"

After saying that, he helped the old lady up and left the carriage.
