Saturday, January 15, sunny.
Cheng Yongxing and Liu Xuan arrived at the train station early in the morning.The students have already started their holidays, and the waiting hall is full of people.
The Chuncheng Railway Station was built before liberation, and it is not much better than the railway station in a township.
A row of fences divides the waiting space into two parts, and long seats are placed on both sides in front of each ticket gate.Between the seats is the passage and the place where everyone queues up.
There are so many people in the station that it is impossible to find a seat.You can only stand forward and start queuing.
There are still 40 minutes to leave the car, and two people have to stand for more than half an hour.There is no other way but to wait.
—————————
But Cheng Yongxing and Liu Xuan stood in the team for less than two minutes. They didn't know what happened in front of them, and everyone sitting on both sides stood up.People behind began to squeeze in front.
The ticket check was not started in the front, but the people behind did not care, just squeezed forward.
Due to the overcrowding of the train, many people did not have seat numbers, and those without seat numbers all squeezed forward, hoping to get on the train early. Fortunately, some empty seats were picked up.
The first and last numbers of train cars are sometimes not sold.Many people who take the train often grab these seats.These people also aroused the atmosphere of other people, as if getting in the car late, the seat number would be invalid, everyone squeezed forward.
Cheng Yongxing was pushed forward by the crowd. He guarded the girl in front of his chest, with one hand trying to open the space as much as possible, and the other hand holding the space while carrying luggage.
He couldn't hold on in less than 5 minutes.The left hand holding the luggage is like being filled with lead.
The force behind the push has not diminished at all, but fortunately it is winter, otherwise everyone will stick together.
Liu Xuan also held a bag in her arms.They didn't actually take much luggage, they were just changing clothes, but because it was winter, one piece of clothing was almost half a bag.
Cheng Yongxing missed the backpack popular in later generations.At least you can free your hands.
Perhaps Liu Xuan wanted to say something, or wanted to take the bag in his hand, and she turned around.At this time, a strong force came from Cheng Yongxing's left side, and someone actually squeezed past him in such a crowded situation.
Cheng Yongxing's hand was crooked by him, and immediately lost his focus, and the little space in his chest disappeared, and the girl was stuck in his arms.
Because Liu Xuan was sideways, the two were squeezed together, almost touching their faces.
Cheng Yongxing's left hand was restrained by the luggage, and he was unable to lift it up in the crowded line. He could only use his right hand to wrap Liu Xuan's shoulder and huddled together in the crowd.
"Next time we come back, let's drive, the train today is really crowded."
He can only find words in embarrassment.
"Ok."
Various noises sounded in the crowded waiting hall.
The cry of children, the cries of mutual contact, and the noise of selling newspapers.No one would notice that the two young men embarrassedly huddled together in the team.
Cheng Yongxing and his wife are in close contact, but he doesn't know what Liu Xuan thinks now.
Since returning to this world, in the past few years, he has never had such close contact with any woman, and the time has been so long.
Cheng Yongxing wanted to put the girl in his arms.
He could feel the breath she exhaled.His breath can drive the hair on her forehead to gently swing.
In this noisy atmosphere, he felt a trace of peace.
Everything in this world disappeared, only him and the girl in front of him.
Time seems to have stalled, every second is a copy of the previous second.
They seemed to be in an enchantment, surrounded by an invisible force field with the surrounding world.All the external noise, noise, and crowding are gone.
The two of them cuddled quietly, standing in this small enchantment, breathing, breathing.
Cheng Yongxing felt the beating of his heart, his heart beating very powerfully, not irritable, soothing and comfortable.
The two of them just leaned back quietly without speaking.
————————
Suddenly a huge earthquake broke the barrier, and the surrounding sounds suddenly rushed in.The crowd moved forward as a whole.
They are also being carried forward.
Cheng Yongxing's left hand was thrown outside by the enchantment and felt numb.
The team's activities brought space, and he quickly changed the luggage to his right hand.
The crowd was squeezed out of the ticket gate like squeezing sausages, and then spread out onto the outside platform with a crash.
Without much effort, the train drew in.
As the train stopped, the crowd began to move and run, but in different directions.In order to prevent being washed away, Cheng Yongxing could only walk forward slowly with one arm around Liu Xuan's shoulder and the luggage in the other.
The two finally squeezed into the carriage and came to the seat, only to find that the seat was already occupied.A woman sat there with a child, the girl was about four or five years old.I really don't know how they ran to the front and took their seats.
Seeing this situation, the two young men became embarrassed.
Cheng Yongxing threw the luggage on the shelf, and asked Liu Xuan and the woman and child to sit in the double seat, and stepped into the small aisle in the middle of the chairs opposite the two.The corridor in the middle of the train was quickly crowded with people, and it was already unable to move.
But soon, Cheng Yongxing couldn't even stand.Two people were squeezed into such a small space. His stomach was squeezed against the small table in the middle, and his upper body was bent down. There was nowhere to take advantage of him, and he was very uncomfortable.
In the end, the woman was really embarrassed and picked up the child and let Cheng Yongxing sit in the innermost position. Three adults huddled together with a child.
The two-person seat was originally not wide enough, and the pressure from the corridor made the actual width smaller.Thick clothes in winter are also reducing effective space.
In order to save the size of an arm, Cheng Yongxing raised his right arm, rounded Liu Xuan, and placed it on her other shoulder, actually holding Liu Xuan in his arms.
—————————
Cheng Yongxing has traveled between the two places many times and has never taken such a crowded train, especially the train going north.
When the train from inside the pass arrives in Spring City, people will almost get off.If it is a passing car, sometimes you can see half of it is empty.
I don't know what evil was committed today, so many people.
But as the train started, Cheng Yongxing discovered the difference. This was a local train.The train stopped at a station that had never stopped before, and people got up and down.
It is estimated that when he bought the ticket, he told the office staff to buy the seat number.Maybe it's the students' holidays, this car is the only car they can buy, right?
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the congestion in the carriage was greatly relieved.Because the main passengers of the local train commute from the periphery of the city.
After an hour, there were only two of them left in the seats.The woman didn't know whether to change seats or get out of the car.
The slow train is indeed slow. Cheng Yongxing asked the waiter that it takes more than 7 hours to get to Bingcheng.Thanks to a few apples, my mother always kept a few apples every time he went out to keep him safe.
The two of them turned out what they were eating, ate slowly, and chatted slowly.
Cheng Yongxing felt that something was broken between the two people.Talking and doing things are much more casual.
Although he was in contact with Liu Xuan, he always felt that it was a formulaic contact.The two went out for a walk and watched the scenery. They were both courteous and did not even hold their hands.
After such a round of baptism, both of them were much bolder.
After the car passed the elm tree, Liu Xuan was a little sleepy, Cheng Yongxing hugged her and leaned her head on his shoulder.Liu Xuan did not resist, but leaned on the boy's shoulder and closed her eyes quietly.
Cheng Yongxing cast his gaze out of the window, and his heart was peaceful.
