Think childish

It was the first time for Qiao Zhi to enter the train station.People were crowded everywhere on the narrow platform, and the long green leather car, like a magnified green bamboo leaf, was lying on the rails, blowing steam.

Teapot led her to squeeze into a carriage casually, only to find that there were more people on board, all carrying their families and carrying large bags.Everyone was busy looking for a seat, putting luggage, and everyone basically talked by roaring, and there were also babies crying in different lengths.

The windows were opened, and the farewells inside and outside the car became louder and louder along with the sound of preparations for the departure of the train.For a moment, it seemed that the hustle and bustle of the whole world was squeezing her ears. Qiao Zhi was dragged by the teapot and was dizzy by the crowds in the narrow aisle. Her ears were buzzing. Finally, the two squeezed into the soft sleeper car. , The teapot cursed in a low voice, dropped the bag, and sweat came out of his body.

They will take the train for two days and two nights to go to G City. If the train is not delayed, they should arrive at around 10:30 tomorrow night.

This was Qiao Zhi's first time riding a train, and everything she saw was novel.

Teapot put the bags of the two of them away and asked her, "Do you want to go out and have a look?"

Qiao Zhi thought about the difficulty of squeezing all the way, and shook her head respectfully and insensitively: "Forget it, there are too many people."

The teapot also thought about it: "If you want to look around, I will accompany you in the evening. The car has not been driven yet, and there is a mess everywhere. It is rare to squeeze."

Qiao Zhi nodded.

The teapot said again: "I got up too early this morning, I'll sleep first, you..."

"I'll stay by myself." Qiao Zhi said immediately.

Teapot nodded, and quickly climbed to the upper bunk to sleep.

The teapot slept until it was dark.

The upper and lower bunks on the opposite side are a pair of elderly people. They look like intellectuals in their clothes and tone of voice.

Qiao Zhi sat on the lower bunk, except for helping the two elderly people across from him get some hot water once, he just sat there, looking out the window, without changing his posture.

When the teapot woke up, his sleeping head was a little dizzy.During this period of time, he has been accompanying the people from the G City Economic Investigation Office to practice Tai Chi in circles. He was exhausted, and unexpectedly fell asleep on the train.

It's just... He glanced out the window, his heart shivered, and he quickly climbed out of bed.

"Are you awake?" Qiao Zhi turned to look at him, "Would you like some water?"

The teapot rubbed his face vigorously, and the two old men on the opposite side were sitting on the lower bunk reading a book. When they heard the movement, they looked at each other, then looked at Qiao Zhi, and nodded to him in a friendly manner.

The teapot quickly apologized, then sat down beside Qiao Zhi, took the water glass she handed over and drank it down in one gulp, the dryness in the throat was immediately relieved.

"It's getting dark, have you eaten yet?" the teapot asked.

Qiao Zhi shook her head: "Not hungry."

"Blame me. I overslept. I haven't eaten lunch yet. Are you hungry?" Teapot glanced at his watch. "There should be food in the dining car right now. Let's go eat."

Qiao Zhi still wanted to refuse, but he dragged her away involuntarily.

There was no one in the dining car, and the teapot found a seat to seat her, then turned around and asked for two big rice dishes.

"Eat quickly, buy more if you don't have enough." The teapot said as he took a big mouthful of rice, he was really hungry.

The lunch boxes on the train were small, and the teapot disappeared after a few mouthfuls. I still felt hungry, so I got up and asked for another box.As a result, after he finished eating the second box, Qiao Zhi only ate less than half of that box.The teapot stared at her for a while, and found that she might really not be able to eat, like a kitten licking, eating with a lack of interest.

"I can't eat anymore." Qiao Zhi looked at him in embarrassment.

The teapot nodded: "It's fine if you can't eat, I'll bring you over for supper if you're hungry at night."

The two walked back from the dining car, and when they reached the junction of the carriages, the teapot stopped, and while fumbling for a cigarette from his pocket, he said, "Go back first, and sleep first if you're sleepy, I'll smoke a cigarette here. "

After finishing speaking, he lit up the cigarette and looked up. Qiao Zhi looked at him eagerly, but didn't move.

"What?" The teapot looked at her with a puff of smoke.

Qiao Zhi said, "Give me one."

The teapot stared wide-eyed: "I'll give you one? It's cigarettes, not a lollipop."

Qiao Zhi maintained the posture of reaching out her hand: "I know it's a cigarette, I want to smoke, so give me one."

Teapot didn't want to talk to her at first, thinking she was joking with him, but after a few minutes, he found that she was serious!

Qiao Zhi's staring gaze made him a little unbearable, after taking two puffs of cigarettes, the teapot took out cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket and slapped them on her hand, deliberately gloating: "You just do it! When Luo Hai comes back, I will file a complaint and see how he deals with you!"

Qiao Zhi chuckled lightly, but did not respond.

She tapped on the cigarette case with two fingers together, knocked out a cigarette, then lit it skillfully, took a deep breath, and exhaled a smooth smoke thread.

The teapot was stunned, and asked in disbelief: "You... Luo Hai taught you? No, no, I can't teach you even if I teach you Luo Hai. It's not my sister. When did you get this good?"

Qiao Zhi looked at him with an expression of "why are you making such a fuss", shrugged: "I don't like smoking, I just know how to smoke."

The teapot gave her a thumbs up, with a playful expression: "Luo Hai's eyes are so fucking poisonous! He told me a long time ago that you will definitely be different from ordinary girls in the future, he said exactly what he said ..." Teapot scratched his head for a long time but couldn't remember, laughed and said, "Anyway, it's not that the whole family doesn't come in, sister, your temper really suits my appetite!"

Qiao Zhi smiled at him perfunctorily, looked at the slowly burning cigarette between her fingers, and suddenly asked, "When will Luo Hai come back?"

Speaking of this question, the teapot couldn't laugh anymore.

Annoyed, he lit another cigarette, took two deep puffs and said, "Anyway, all I know is that he will definitely come back!" He glanced at Qiao Zhi and muttered, "You're still here, Where can he go..."

"What did you say?" Qiao Zhi didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing." The teapot said, "Don't worry about him too much, Luo Hai has never seen any storm, he can handle it. But you, don't think so much, you should eat and sleep, there are some things, It’s no use just thinking about it.”

Qiao Zhi said in a daze: "I also know that worrying is useless, but I have a very bad premonition in my heart. Too many things have happened in the past six months, and I always feel that I can handle it, but when I think about it, I always feel that I can handle it. I can't get back to my senses, it seems that life suddenly lost its stability overnight, and it seems that I can never return to the ideal state..."

Teapot is not so sensitive, seeing that she is in a state of sleepwalking, and thinks that she may be like this because she is too worried about Luo Hai, so she stopped smoking at the moment, pushed her back to the car, and went to sleep.

***

At 10:30 p.m. the next day, the train arrived at the station.

The teapot carried the luggage of the two of them, and Qiao Zhi followed him out of the station.

There is a small square in front of the exit. It is dark, but the lights on the square and the floors in the distance are very bright.The teapot led her to the center of the square and stopped, looked around, and suddenly smiled when looking halfway to the right, then dropped her luggage and ran to the right for a few steps, and then hugged a man who rushed up on the right. Together.

The man's face was backlit, and she couldn't see clearly. She saw the two warmly embraced each other's shoulders and said something. Then the teapot suddenly turned around and pointed at her, and the man followed him. Qiao Zhi was caught by him. Uncomfortable, he lowered his head slightly.

The teapot walked over with the man in his arms, and introduced to her, "Azhi, this is Li Tongbing, a good brother of Luo Hai and I!"

Li Tongbing stretched out a hand towards her and said with a smile, "Hello."

Qiao Zhi shook it lightly, and replied, "Hello, Brother Li, my name is Qiao Zhi."

It was only during the conversation that she saw the man's appearance clearly. He was about the same age as Luo Hai. He wore a pair of glasses and looked refined, like a scholar.

"I've heard Luo Hai talk about you many times. I saw you in real life today, and you're really pretty!" Li Tongbing laughed.

It was the first time for Qiao Zhi to be praised so directly for her beauty by a stranger of the opposite sex. She was a little embarrassed and smiled at him reluctantly.

Li Tongbing said: "I have arranged the hotel for you, let's go, let's go to dinner first, and then talk about Luo Hai in detail after dinner."

***

The three of them returned to the hotel after dinner. After two days of riding the train, Qiao Zhi felt that his whole body was dirty and uncomfortable, so he went back to his room to take a shower and change his clothes.After she packed up and knocked on the door of the teapot, as soon as she opened the door and smelled the smell of smoke in the room, she knew that her bath was a waste.

"...That's how things are." The teapot briefly repeated to Qiao Zhi what Li Tongbing had told him.

Li Tongbing said: "At the time when the police took him away, he shouldn't have run away, but he told me that no one but him could get the 800 million back. I...well, I don't know him now. Over there, investors in Hong Kong and people from the government's public security are all looking for him, which is even more powerful than looking for Zhang Peng."

The teapot said: "Luo Hai told me that there is something strange behind this incident. Zhang Peng's grandson scooped up 800 million and left him 200 million. What's going on?"

Li Tongbing said: "I don't know the specifics. I only know that Luo Hai used the 200 million yuan to play a trick in front of the people from the Economic Investigation Office and exchanged a chance to escape. I don't know anything else. But Zhang Peng This matter is really strange. You also know that the country is now opening up. I don’t need to say how much oil and water the import and export trade is. It is said that there is no need for him to spend such a small amount of money to run away. After I got in touch with Zhang Peng, I feel bad For someone with such small horizons, not to mention his relationship with Luo Hai, I really don't know why he would do this?"

The room fell silent for a while.

When Qiao Zhi heard this, he finally sorted things out.But she still couldn't help but secretly stunned - 800 million!She couldn't even imagine how much it was. She could have jumped on the roof if she was given 800 yuan. Dare to think carefully.

"Is there any relatives in Zhang Peng's family?" Qiao Zhi asked suddenly.

Li Tongbing and the teapot looked at her together.

Qiao Zhi said in an uncertain tone: "I just have a feeling that if Zhang Peng still has family members, then Luo Hai might have gone looking for them."
