Chapter 139: On the Road
Xie Jin blended into the crowd with his bag on his back. He looked around while holding the card-like ticket. When he saw no suspicious person, he immediately went into the waiting hall.
The ticket was already bought on the way, Xie Jin took the hot flatbread eggs and soy milk, and sat down in an inconspicuous corner.
Because in the summer, Heavenly River Town is a place where the tourism industry is very developed. Even in the early morning, the station is still full of pedestrians.
After running around all night, Xie Jin was already hungry at this moment. He peeled off the plastic bag full of fog, and devoured the big pancake and eggs in his hand, but he couldn't taste any taste at all.
After simply solving the hunger problem, Xie Jin rolled up the finished plastic bags and threw them into the trash can at hand. He kept Wen Liang's warning in mind and did not stay in one place for too long.
Taking out a crumpled baseball cap from his backpack and putting it on, Xie Jin first went to the public restroom to wash his face.
Looking at himself in the mirror with a haggard face and stubble on his chin, Xie Jin could only splash cold water on his face to keep his mind awake all the time.
Standing up the collar of his crumpled overalls shirt, Xie Jin followed the crowd to the ticket gate until he sat in his seat, the whole process was extremely smooth.
He folded his arms around his chest, hiding himself in the corner as inconspicuously as possible, his still red and swollen eyes stared closely at every passenger passing by him.
Someone was trying to kill him, like when he came here.
Probably Xie Jin's behavior was too abnormal, and soon the flight attendant was recruited. She stared at Xie Jin's almost hopeless appearance, showing a professional smile: "Excuse me, sir, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah? No, no." Xie Jin was interrupted by the sudden gentle female voice, he looked up at the flight attendant blankly, and shook his head in a daze.
"Okay, if you need help, please call me at any time." After confirming again that Xie Jin is not a suspicious person, the flight attendant left with a smile in her hand, but she called the police, as if to ask him to take care of this place Happening.
Xie Jin had a panoramic view of all this, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, wishing he could tuck himself into his collar.
But what's the point of being regarded as a suspicious person? He has been mistaken for a murderer for so long, and he has long been used to it.
Thinking of this, Xie Jin was in a daze for a moment. He no longer looked at everyone who passed by him with that ridiculous look in his eyes, which was a bit too sensitive.
The green leather train shuttled slowly between the railroad tracks, and the newly rising sunset pierced through the glass and hit Xie Jin's body. It was so warm that it gave him a short-lived illusion of comfort.
After traveling all night, the exhaustion of the whole body could not be made up in less than an hour of sleep in the truck. Xie Jin leaned his head lightly on the window of the car, and then slowly fell into a light sleep in the warm morning sun.
"Hello passengers, the parking station ahead is..." Xie Jin hit his head hard on the car window. He opened his dry eyes and saw many backpack passengers moving towards the car door.
In order to wake himself up, he also stood up, bowed his body and stretched on the seat. It was at this time that Xie Jin noticed two suspicious people coming in from the entrance of the carriage.
Why do you say they are suspicious? It was because compared to other passengers, the two seemed to be wearing the same kind of headset that was used for communication, and they were patrolling around as soon as they entered the car, as if they were looking for someone.
Did it come so soon?
Xie Jin felt a little uncomfortable, quickly lowered his hat and shrank back to the seat, his bag was next to his face, Xie Jin quickly grabbed a piece of unfinished bread from the bag, and buried his face in it.
When the two were passing by Xie Jin's side, although one of them looked at Xie Jin's profile suspiciously, but because most of Xie Jin's face was blocked by the brim of the hat and bread, although he had doubts, he continued to walk forward. .
Xie Jin didn't dare to be careless, he hid in the middle of the two seats, observed through the gap that the two people left his compartment, Xie Jin got up quickly.
He didn't get off the car immediately, because he couldn't be 100% sure that the two people came for him. Even if he got off now, if there were accomplices on the platform, the situation would definitely be disadvantageous to him.
Holding the bag with almost no big pieces of equipment tightly in his arms, Xie Jin quickly walked to the bathroom, opened the door and hid in.
In the narrow space where it was difficult to turn around, Xie Jin stared at his rather embarrassed self in the mirror. If those people were really sent by the so-called "relatives" mentioned by Jikou, what would happen if he was taken away?
Think of the benefits, maybe he would limit his actions to prevent him from going to the Celebration State Amusement Park. What is the worst case?Isn't even his insider to destroy his mouth together.
Xie Jin propped his hands on the narrow sink. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck. The feeling of suffocation that night was still fresh in his memory. If it wasn't for Ji Duan and Wen Liang's actions, he might have been strangled to death.
You must not be careless, not to mention that the other party is not kind.
At this time, the phone in his coat pocket rang, and Xie Jin's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, which caused him to thump subconsciously.
He took out his mobile phone, and when he saw that the caller was Wen Liang, his breathing involuntarily sank. Why did Wen Liang call? Could it be that something happened in the village?
"β¦β¦Hey?"
Xie Jin swallowed his saliva subconsciously, he couldn't even stretch his arms and legs in such a small space, which also exerted invisible pressure on him psychologically.
"Wen Liang? Did something happen? Why did you call suddenly?" Xie Jin asked again when he heard no voice from the other side.
With the sound of noisy current, Wen Liang's voice came into his ears: "The signal was not good just now, are you getting in the car?"
"Get on the train, it's been one stop." Xie Jin turned around and leaned against the edge of the sink. He felt the train shaking and moving forward, and then told Wen Liang what he had just seen.
Wen Liang fell into a short silence, and after a while, he finally replied: "After leaving the mountain, it is no better than in the village. Although Badong Village is not much better, but the people outside are complicated, so be careful."
"Well, I know." Xie Jin held his forehead with one hand, he suddenly caught something from this sentence, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Badong Village? You called me, did something happen?"
"No." Wen Liang replied, "OLD JI didn't wake up, just like you, I just called to confirm where you were."
Hearing that Xie Jin didn't reply, Wen Liang was silent for a while, and continued, "Your journey cannot be said to be smooth, and you may encounter frequent dangers. It is important to save your life, and use the things I gave you at critical moments."
"I see." Xie Jin probably guessed that it was Wen Liang who divination for himself again. Although he was a little exhausted from taking into account the potential harm of those people while taking on the task, he still instructed Wen Liang in turn.
"You are in the village by yourself, and Droktada and Li Yougui are in accordance with a little bit, I try to go back quickly."
After getting Wen Liang's reply, Xie Jin hung up the phone. He put the phone back in his pocket. Staying in the toilet is not a long-term solution, and occupying a public space will arouse suspicion.
Because he was not sure how many people the other party had and whether he already knew what he looked like now, Xie Jin thought about it, and took out another piece of clothing from his bag to change into.
"Dang, clang, clang." There was a knock on the door, and a male voice of indeterminate age sounded outside, "Are you alright? How long has it been?"
Xie Jin didn't reply, he quickened his movements. Putting on another crumpled coat, he took out a pair of thin-rimmed black-rimmed glasses from the inner pocket of the backpack.
He simply smoothed his messy hair, probably because the glasses were hiding the tiredness on his face, Xie Jin looked more like a college student who went out alone to relax than before.
The fine lines at the corners of Xie Jin's eyes are not very obvious when he doesn't have much expression and movement, and with the glasses covering him, his appearance is more convincing.
"Excuse me." He opened the toilet door and lowered his voice as he passed the man outside the door. Xie Jin quickly glanced at the man out of the corner of his eye, and found that the man was just an ordinary traveler.
Xie Jin returned to his seat as quickly as possible. He found a girl reading a book sitting next to the seat where there was no one there.
"Excuse me, please let me pass."
He adjusted his facial muscles and grinned out that gentle smile back then with his long-standing muscle memory, which was also part of being able to disguise himself.
The girl raised her face, her pale eyes looked surprised when she saw Xie Jin, and then she looked away unnaturally, the girl hurriedly put away her book and stood up, letting Xie Jin in.
"Sorry, I thought there was no one inside." The girl whispered after Xie Jin sat down. Her bag was placed on Xie Jin's seat just now, and she was explaining the reason.
"It's okay." Xie Jin continued to smile, and he gradually became familiar with the curvature of the corners of his mouth. The already thin face plus a smile would give people a feeling of being easy to get along with.
"I also like "Wuthering Heights." Xie Jin tried to raise some topics out of politeness. Talking to people on the long journey can at least bring him some spiritual comfort.
He saw that the girl's cheeks seemed to be a little redder, and he faintly sensed that something was wrong, so he moved a little closer to the wall of the carriage, keeping a certain distance from the girl.
"Do you like it too! I am looking forward to the love between Catherine and Hareton who is not bound by social rules."
When the girl mentioned the word "love", she refused to look directly into Xie Jin's eyes. She felt as if she had an inexplicable affection for this thin man who had only met once.
In the morning, the mild sunlight shone through the thin glass of the car window. Although the man wearing glasses was thin, his face was obviously very close to the ideal type in her mind.
The peach blossom eyes that are slightly curved and drooping at the corners of the eyes are full of gentleness and self-cultivation. The blood vessels in the eyes seem to be extraordinarily sensitive, and they are especially red under the fair skin. don't know what the owner of these eyes has just experienced.
The girl looked down Xie Jin's bloodless mouth, and then saw the green stubble protruding from his chin, where he was still wearing a black mask.
Noticing the look in her eyes, Xie Jin hastily pulled the mask down to his nose, and smiled shyly: "I went out in such a hurry that I didn't bother to organize my personal image."
"What's the matter, I think a man's beard can add points to his charm."
The girl didn't express her meaning implicitly, she almost turned her upper body towards Xie Jin, looking at the man's quiet face, the girl felt that Cupid was coming soon.
"Can I make a friend? Although you may not believe it, but the first time I saw you, I seemed to like you a lot."
The girl held out her hand, and the light from the sunlight hitting the diamond-encrusted manicure almost pierced Xie Jin's eyes. He was still at a loss as to what the other party meant, so he heard the girl say again.
"My name is Lin Ranran, what about you?"
Uncle Xie's charm remains the same when he smiles
