Chapter 14
“I want to know which train I took five days ago.”
In front of the ticket gate outside Qingdingcheng Railway Station, Lu Jiu carried his newly bought backpack and took out his identity certificate and handed it to the ticket seller who was separated from him by a fence.
Hearing Lu Jiu's words, the ticket seller who was about to reach out his hand shrank his hand back, but just stared at Lu Jiu with a strange look.
‘Is there anything wrong with your brain?’
Lu Jiu understood what he meant, so he was furious.
"Brother, have you made something wrong?"
It is naturally no longer the words in my heart when I say it. The ticket seller kept smiling and opened a wooden cabinet placed on the table. There were various bills placed in different categories. The ticket seller took out a stack of them and put them in front of Lu Jiu.
The only thing that records the train number and the arrival time on the ticket paper is the train number, and there is no room for recording the ticket buyer's information. On the other hand, Lu Jiu also realized that this time he was really thinking about it.
In this era, train stations and carriages were limited by the backwardness of information storage methods. In addition to the fact that some more important carriages or high-end carriages would specifically record the information of important passengers, for ordinary passengers, the ticket office often recognizes money but not people, which leads to the fact that when getting on the bus and checking tickets, it becomes the ticket but not people.
This means that even if the predecessor did buy tickets from here five days ago, there would be no information about him left in the ticket office.
Let the people lined up behind and looked at the process of buying tickets. As Lu Jiu thought, the ticket seller often didn't even raise his head, just asked where he was going, and then paid the money and the tickets. With the flow of people they contacted every day, Lu Jiu had to give up the idea of asking if the other party had an impression of him.
Standing at the entrance of the railway station, Lu Jiu looked at the slightly deserted carriage not far away. Compared with the lively scene at the railway station, there were not many people entering and leaving...
Don't get me wrong. This is not to say that the carriage industry is backward. In fact, the high-end carriages of this era are still exclusive transportation tools for the upper class, just like cars. Based on this, the possibility of renting a carriage for the previous generation was also not high.
This means that the train station is the only place where Lu Jiu may know his predecessor's whereabouts. Even if the ticket office cannot ask the information he wants, Lu Jiu did not intend to give up just like that, so he simply walked into the train station with the flow of people.
The scale of Qingdingcheng Railway Station is not large. As one of the county towns in Zhiyuan Prefecture, there are not many daily passenger flows, and there are only a few trains to travel. It is just a stopping stop in the middle.
The local government is busy carrying out industrial transformation in the city, so it is naturally impossible to withdraw funds to build a large station.
This is undoubtedly good news for Lu Jiu.
The scale is not large, there are only a few staff members. If you want to take a bus, you must enter the station. Maybe someone will pay attention to him. After all, Lu Jiu's appearance is outstanding among ordinary people. Not to mention how handsome it is, at least it can make people want to take a look at it.
Thinking of this, it is still beneficial to be handsome.
"The train to Anping City is coming soon. Please go to the platform and wait..."
The strong man in coarse cloth clothes held a loud trumpet high, holding a note in his hand, and shouting as the content on the note while passing by Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu looked at the "human broadcaster" away and quickly leaned towards the waiting hall in the station, preparing to find an opportunity to ask the staff at the station if they have an impression of themselves. It is best to be able to recall some memories from five days ago through some things.
Relying on the pillars of the platform greenhouse, Lu Jiu's eyes turned to the wilderness outside the city where the railway tracks extended. It took too much time to find a medicine shop in the south of the city, and it was already dusk.
In the orange-red sunset light, gray-white steam smoke circling over the wilderness. The sound of whistles came faintly, alarming dozens of flying birds across the sky.
Soon, with the sound of "clang~", the huge steam train entered the field of view, and many people in the waiting area began to gather at the platform, and lined up at various entrances with the help of station staff.
Lu Jiu did not lean on it, but recorded the positions of several staff members and waited aside.
Now they are busy. Inquiring in the past, they will most likely make the other party unhappy, but they will be sent to the point of being randomly disgusted. Lu Jiu doesn't want to miss some important information because of his urgency.
I sat on the empty bench and watched the train enter the station. The crowd in front of me began to move. The sound of sharp friction between the wheels and the rails came from my ears.
Lu Jiu frowned. Somehow, when he heard this sound, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and raised his hand and rubbed his temples with a little annoyance.
However, as the train entered the station, someone pulled the brakes in the control room. This harsh friction sound not only did not disappear, but became louder.
The elongated and sharp voice made Lu Jiu, who was leaning against the bench to adjust his emotions, suddenly blushed and frowned, as if he was instinctively. He realized that he was extremely disgusted with this voice.
Kara ~
Unconsciously breaking the corners of the wooden bench with her palms, and an unsuccessful bipolar mood arises in her mind.
No, this shouldn't be a normal reaction.
Lu Jiu looked at the other passengers around him with a normal expression and immediately realized that the problem might be on him. The impact of the sound when the brakes had on him was different from that of ordinary people. In the memory of his predecessor, Lu Jiu could be sure that he had never encountered this situation before when he was at the train station.
On the other hand, this is a problem that has only recently emerged...
The physical fitness far exceeds ordinary people, the improvement of the five senses, the weakening of pain, the improvement of recovery ability, and the changes in the body bring various positive enhancements to Lu Jiu. However, at the same time, it inevitably makes him begin to be sensitive to some things.
Obviously, being irritated by the harsh brake sound is one of the negative effects!
What made Lu Jiu even more concerned was that this irritable state did not disappear immediately because of the steady stop of the train. Instead, it continued to stay in his mind, forcing him to leave here.
Faced with this situation, Lu Jiu did not choose to hold on, but instead deteriorated further in his condition. He stood up before he noticed something strange and quickly left the waiting area.
However, when he entered the station again, he found that everything around him became a little strange.
The sound from the speaker in the "human player" not far away made him more and more irritable. The conversations and playful sounds of people coming and going around him sometimes became far and sometimes near, and eventually turned into some vague whisper, which kept circling in his ears, stimulating his reason and gradually aroused various negative emotions in his heart.
More and more negative emotions began to emerge in my mind, and Lu Jiu lowered his head and rushed to the public toilet in the station.
Staying away from the noisy crowd, Lu Jiu seemed to hear some kind of roar of a hawk again.
It is very similar to the sound made by the hawk standing above the dark golden heart that I saw in the alley last night.
