102. Have a smooth journey (medium cup)(1/3)

The crowded roof of the car has always been Tianzhu's third brother's trademark.

Yun Song did not expect that in this world, the train roofs of this era would also be filled with descendants of Yan and Huang.

obviously.

The third brother riding on the roof of the train is not a train culture, they are just poor and have few resources, just like the current situation.

The people on the roof of the car didn't know what they were holding, but they were sitting quite securely. They were just wearing rags and their hair was messy, like thatched nests blown by the wild wind.

But think about it, it’s not right if your hair isn’t messy when you’re sitting on the roof of the car.

There are also a few people with good hair styles. They are either bald or have a big braid tied directly on their foreheads so that they are not blown away by the wind.

The faces of the people on the bus were very dirty, and the faces became dirtier as they moved forward, as if they were smeared with soot.

The reason why Gongsun Wufeng and his party came to the town was to take the train. They had to take a small train for a while, then change to horseback riding, and then take a boat. This trip was not easy.

Yun Song was puzzled: "Since you want to take the train first, why are you in a hurry to buy horses? Logically speaking, any train station is located in a wealthy place, right? There are mules and horses for sale, right?"

Lu Yinxi raised his head stupidly and said, "Yes, but Mr. Gongsun arranged it this way, so we can only listen to him."

The train gradually slowed down and entered the town, and Yunsong and his party followed on horseback.

This journey hurts my lungs.

He thought he was lying on the car exhaust pipe.

Now he understood why the faces on the roof of the car looked as if they were smeared with soot...

The horses under the crowd were also not used to this air quality, and they kept snoring.

The old horse Yun Song rode was quiet. It just ran forward silently, always following the herd.

But it was very tired, and it was panting hard through its two big nostrils.

Just as the train was about to enter the station, the whistle sounded.

There was a long roar, and the horses were frightened. Several horses raised their front hooves and struggled in fear on the spot.

The old horse is still very quiet.

Under Luyinxi's crotch is a little mare. She has the blood of a good horse, has smooth fur, and graceful lines. She looks very good.

But it has little experience and is timid. It jumps the most when the train whistle blows.

However, Lu Yinxi's riding skills were the third worst in the team - the first was Yun Song, but Yun Song's old horse was as stable as an old dog; the second worst was Big Stupid Elephant, but the Big Stupid Elephant took his crotch

A horse is as steady as a dead dog.

One of the two horses was not making trouble and the other was not making trouble, so Luyinxi was in the worst condition and was about to be thrown down.

It happened that A Bao was hanging on the old horse's butt to rest. Yun Song picked it up and threw it out...

Lu Yinxi fell from the horse but was not injured. A Bao stuck out his tongue and stared at his eyes as if he was about to die...

This frightened Lu Zhuozao, Gongsun Wufeng and others!

The bearded captain of the escort said sternly: "Mr. Gongsun, it was your idea to enter Baixiang Town along the railway tracks. Your idea had big loopholes and almost caused a big problem. What else do you have to say about this?"

"You should know that our return journey is extremely dangerous..."

"Captain Jin." Lu Zhuozhao suddenly said, "It's not that Gongsun didn't think well about this matter, it's that my sister is not good at riding."

Lu Yinxi was holding A Bao in his arms to comfort him, and was stunned when he heard these words.

Lu Zhuozhao said: "Besides, the decision to let Gongsun lead the team was made by me. No matter what happens, I will bear the responsibility."

Gongsun Wufeng's body was shaken.

He looked at the bearded man and said: "Captain Jin, you are right. I didn't think carefully about this matter. No matter what decision I make in the future, I will definitely consider the safety of the two ladies more carefully."

The words of the two people made Bearded Beard angry and unable to express himself, so he had no choice but to flick his whip angrily and drive his horse towards the town.

As its name suggests, Baixiang Town is full of cypress trees.

This is a small train transportation station. There are only two trains passing by, and the train they want to take has not arrived yet.

After entering the town, Gongsun Wufeng did not take them into the town center. Instead, he arranged for one person to buy some tea, snacks and supplies, while the others all went to the train station to wait.

The train station is very simple, the platform is made of red bricks, and it is crowded with people, almost all of whom are country people in simple clothes.

The weather is hot, the people are unkempt, and the smell of the train station is a bit spicy.

A large loudspeaker was hung in the air by a flagpole and made a lifeless voice: "The next train is bound for Spring City. If you haven't bought a ticket, hurry up and buy a ticket. According to the "General Rules of Passenger Car Transport in the Military State", there is an additional express fee for taking the special express train.

, the express fare is increased according to the car class, and is calculated as third-class car, twice as much as for second-class car, and twice as much for first-class car..."

"They sell roasted chicken, braised chicken grilled over charcoal fire, fragrant..."

"Cigarettes, cigarettes for sale, Wanguo brand cigarettes are all available..."

"Selling newspapers, "Xinbao" was just released yesterday, the war in the northwest has resumed, and a flying goddess came to the world in Dunhuang..."

Yun Song asked Gongsun Wufeng, "How do we buy tickets?"

Gongsun Wufeng smiled and said, "We don't need to buy tickets."

Two hours later, the train pulled into the station with a loud whistle, and then the group walked silently to the last carriage.

The next two carriages are empty.

One carries people and the other carries horses.

But the carriage in front was full or even overloaded. A young man dressed as a scholar and a graceful girl were saying goodbye to each other on the platform.

The two of them were probably in love, holding hands and looking into each other's eyes, tears streaming down their cheeks, and the tears flowed before they said anything.

Someone said: "Sir, it's time to get in the car."

The young man said sadly: "Let Bingbing and I have a few more words."

The man said: "You have to get on the bus and get a seat."

The young man turned around and left.

At this time, there were no seats in the carriage, and some people climbed onto the roof after checking their tickets.

Looking at this scene, Lu Yinxi looked worried and said:

"The feudal dynasty has been crushed by the wheels of history. Now there are no emperors, nobles and slaves. Everyone is the master of the country. But from the perspective of the railway, to put it nicely, there are super masters, first-class masters, second-class masters, and third-class masters.

Waiting for the difference between the owner and the owner of the car roof."

"To put it bluntly, our railways are still a legacy of the previous dynasty. The first-class trains are for nobles, the second-class trains are for common people, the third-class trains are for slaves, and slaves' slaves are crowded like animals.

Car roof, what is this new era?!"

The big elephant asked stupidly: "Little Gege, what is the name of the place we live in? Is this a first-class car or a luxury car? What are we? Are we the royal family?"

A capable soldier came over to pour water and said, "The two young ladies are of course royal family."

Lu Yinxi said displeasedly: "We are all people, how can there be a royal family now?"

When the soldier wanted to say something, Battalion Commander Jin glared at him and he quickly shut up.

Yun Song also glared at the big elephant: "Have you never lived in such a luxurious place? Honestly, why are you so excited?"

They boarded the last carriage, which was arranged into an elegant room with partitions, large and small beds, bedding, lights and even a fan.

Only then did Yun Song realize that he was in a modern society.

There was not much difference between the old town and the ancient times. The only electrical appliance he could use was a flashlight!

The big elephant is indeed a little excited, and everything in the carriage is too far away for him.

He had never even heard of such a thing as an electric fan.

The train whistle sounded loudly again, and people were running after the train on the platform. Parents called their children, children called their parents, husbands and wives shouted to each other, and brothers and sisters gave instructions.

Battalion Commander Jin leaned against the door with his gun in hand and looked out.

Other soldiers also took out their weapons.

There was a machine gun among them.

But nothing unusual happened. At most, someone pointed at their carriage.

In comparison, their carriage was extremely luxurious.

The front compartment even has a wooden door. It has no windows. When the two doors are closed, the inside is like a can.

Yun Song even suspected that it would spawn a few ghosts.

In comparison, even the horses here are more comfortable than the passengers in the third-class cars.

Of course, in the eyes of the soldiers inside the carriage, their horses are much more valuable than those poor people who have nothing.

Only Lu Yinxi didn't think so. She only wanted to pick up some poor people from the third-class car and put them into her own car.

On this point, Camp Commander Jin and Gongsun Wufeng agreed: Absolutely not!

But Lu Yinxi showed a rare tough attitude: "Am I the third lady or you? Is Lu Jingtian my father or your father? Who has the final say here?"

"I have the final say." Lu Zhuozhao's voice was full of indescribable fatigue, "Xiaoxi, can you let me go? I really don't want to see strangers now."
To be continued...
