Chapter 57 What I saw on the train

 Standing in front of Kyoto Railway Station, looking at the endless crowds in the square, Xu Zhengdao, who was carrying a homemade canvas bag, looked very relaxed. But I felt a little pity that I didn’t have a camera to take pictures of the current appearance of the train station.

If you take a photo of this and look at it a few years later, you will find it very precious!

Xu Zhengdao, who had greeted the village party secretary and also issued a letter of introduction, left the village without disturbing anyone under the pretext of visiting a patient. How could the village party secretary refuse a letter of introduction?

?

After checking in and entering the waiting hall, looking at the waiting hall that was already full of people, he seemed to once again experience the feeling of going out to work and waiting for the bus in his previous life. But the difference from his previous life was that in this life he no longer had to ride in an ordinary carriage.

He was not short of money, and he also had a few relatively high-level letters of introduction from his uncle in advance. There would definitely be no problem in buying a hard sleeper ticket. Even his hard sleeper ticket was not purchased at the train station in person.

of.

The purpose of doing this is also very simple. I am afraid that the old fox will follow the letter of introduction and find him. The reason why I opened a few more letters of introduction from units is because I think this can play a role in fishing in troubled waters.

Perhaps because the spring breeze in the south has begun to blow across the country, you can also see some passengers dressed differently from ordinary people in Kyoto Railway Station. Xu Zhengdao, on the other hand, is also wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and black pants at the moment.

This kind of dress is very common among the passengers at the train station. With a little disguise, although he still looks young when he appears in front of the passengers, at least it makes people think that he is in his twenties.

Unlike other passengers who were anxiously waiting for the train to leave, Xu Zhengdao watched these scenes with great interest. Compared with watching movies and TV series in his previous life, now he is personally integrated into this era, which is naturally very different from watching TV.

Xu Zhengdao would feel very complicated emotions every time he was in a crowded crowd. He was an ordinary member of the crowd, but also seemed to be a stranger among the crowd. This complicated emotion may be why he did not want to stay in crowded places.

Reason.

"Oh, this is a disease and it needs to be cured! The problem is, even though I have superb medical skills, doctors don't heal themselves!"

Xu Zhengdao, who was secretly sighing in his heart, understood that perhaps only he would suffer from such complex emotions. But in the eyes of other passengers, he was no different from other passengers waiting for the bus, so naturally they would not pay much attention to it.

When the announcement came over the radio that the train was about to leave, the originally orderly crowd suddenly became noisy. Compared with the future where many people in the interior will begin to go south or north, now there are not many people coming to Kyoto.

Much.

On the contrary, many Kyoto people who are "prophet of ducks in the spring river" have begun to take the train south, just to go south to find opportunities to make a fortune. Currently, many of the trendy clothing and electronic products sold in Kyoto are almost all shipped from the south.

These trendy southern products can be brought to Kyoto because these traders choose to go south. They go to great lengths to bring these cheap products from the south back to Kyoto, and then sell them at a high price to earn the price difference.

"Is the era of treachery about to begin?"

For these businessmen who have tasted the sweetness of the south-to-north transportation model, although this journey is very hard, the high rewards still make them happy. Compared with poverty, what is a little hard work?

What's more, in this day and age, many people have never even seen a train, not to mention taking a train. Perhaps because of this, many people who have never been out admire those who dare to travel all over the country.

He also found it quite interesting to follow the crowd and relive the feeling of riding a train when he went out to work in his previous life. Unlike those passengers who took ordinary carriages, because he bought a sleeper carriage, he didn't have to squeeze in to get on the train.

Looking back on later generations who worked in other places and caught the train home to celebrate the New Year during the Spring Festival, the scene was truly terrifying. Now, people who have never seen this kind of train ride may find it very hard. But after more experience, it feels like it is normal.

Xu Zhengdao found the berth he bought and threw his canvas bag on the berth. He was also very skillful in opening the seats in the aisle. After sitting down, he quietly looked out the window and waited for the train to start. He had also ridden on this kind of green leather train in his previous life.

Several times.

But now that he is on the train, he can almost imagine that he will have to wait a long time when he reaches the terminal. Compared with those passengers who buy hard seats and standing tickets, he will undoubtedly be much more comfortable as he has a sleeper to rest.

Just buying a hard sleeper ticket is much more expensive than a hard seat ticket. The train ticket he bought cost nearly 70 yuan. In this day and age, the ticket price alone will be prohibitive for many ordinary people.

Timid.

While thinking about these past events, many passengers also entered the hard-sleeper carriage one after another. Unlike Xu Zhengdao, who had already found a seat to sit down, these people were all older. Many of them were carrying briefcases in their hands.<

/p>

Not surprisingly, these people are all public officials on official business. There are not many female passengers and passengers old and young in the entire carriage. From this, it can be seen that in this era, not everyone dares to

Take the train alone.

Because he bought a ticket for the upper berth, and because he looked young, the passengers in the same carriage with him also curiously asked: "Young man, you bought a ticket for the upper berth, right? At which station do you get off?"

"Terminus, Flower City!"

When someone asks, he will politely chat. But most of the time, he sits quietly in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the window. But he will use his mental power to observe and judge everyone who enters the carriage.

After confirming that there was no one to be wary of or suspicious of in the carriage, he immediately withdrew his mental energy and stayed in front of the window to enjoy the scenery. Until the train slowly left the platform, he still sat in his seat without getting up.

When a passenger asked him about the purpose of his trip, Xu Zhengdao also politely said: "Visiting relatives!"

Seeing that Xu Zhengdao had no interest in chatting, these public officials who liked to engage in daily life gradually lost interest in chatting with him. No one chatted with him, so he didn't feel bored. On the contrary, he was very happy to be quiet.

Feeling the speed of the train, Xu Zhengdao, who later experienced the speed of EMU and high-speed rail, was speechless and said in his heart: "It is said to be an express train, but the speed is probably not more than 80 kilometers per hour!"

It is clear that the current train speed is indeed very fast in this era. But compared with the 300 kilometers per hour high-speed trains of later generations, the current speed of these trains does seem a bit too slow.

Fortunately, Xu Zhengdao was not in a hurry. When it was time for dinner, he would either go to the dining car to eat, or go to the platform to buy a packed lunch when the train stopped. At night, like other passengers, he lay quietly on his bunk to rest.

Even though he was not sleepy, he still lay quietly until the next day when passengers got up to wash up one after another. He also took the toiletries he carried and ran to the washbasin at the junction of the carriages to wash up briefly, and then sat in front of the window to enjoy the scenery.

.

When the train finally arrived at the terminal, Xu Zhengdao, who was carrying his canvas travel bag, also mingled with the crowd leaving the station and followed the vast crowd out of the train station. Ignoring the people soliciting food and accommodation for passengers at the exit, he went straight towards the train.

Walk outside the station.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar city, Xu Zhengdao also said with great interest: "Although I stayed in Huacheng for two years in my previous life, the Huacheng now feels really strange compared to the city in my memory!



Having said that, Xu Zhengdao still decided to stay in Huacheng for one night. Then he would go around the lively streets of Huacheng and wait until tomorrow to buy a ticket and take the bus to the Special Administrative Region. Even though he had stayed in the Special Administrative Region for several years in his previous life, he could refer to it.

There is not much information.

It is now 1981. He first came to Nanling to work in the early 2000s, a time difference of twenty years. It was during these twenty years that Nanling and the Special Administrative Region began to develop rapidly. He would feel strange and unfamiliar.

Is this normal?

On the contrary, he had never been to Xiangjiang, which he was going to next, in his previous life. Fortunately, he was also good at speaking the popular vernacular in Nanling and Xiangjiang. This meant that occasionally pretending to be a local should not be a problem.
