Chapter 106: Slow Journey
The local train, also known as the "green train", is an important scenery on the Chengdu-Kunming Line. Although the running route is only the section from Chengdu to Panzhihua on the Chengdu-Kunming Line, it is a "traffic train" for people of all ethnic groups and railway workers along the way.
.Not only is it slow, it has no air conditioning, and its sanitary conditions are poor, but the fares are very cheap.
Today I took the slow train and it felt pretty good. Although there didn’t seem to be many people in the carriage, many seats were still empty. Looking at the seat numbers on the ticket, I found my seat and settled down, and there were actually people sitting with me. They
He was shirtless and barefoot, talking very loudly, spitting everywhere, and not caring about the feelings of others, especially me.
I felt very uncomfortable, but I couldn't ask others for anything. After all, it was their freedom. What was even more disgusting was that someone actually put his dirty and smelly feet on the stool and then rubbed his feet with his hands.
I rubbed my fingers and flicked the dirt everywhere. I really couldn't bear it and felt like I was going to vomit.
I had no choice but to take my things, leave my seat, and find a place where no one was around to sit down.
The train stopped and went. I don’t know how many small stations it passed. Judging from the scenery outside the window, it should have reached the Dadu River. I only saw the Dadu River outside the window. The river was wide and calm, with blue waves thousands of miles away. It was very magnificent.
The mountains on the opposite side are more steep. They are almost all cliffs and it is difficult for vegetation to grow. This section should be between the Jinkou River and the Ouse River. The frequency of trains entering and exiting the tunnel is also much higher than before. This section of the mountain is very steep.
Dangerous. The entire Chengdu-Kunming Railway shuttles between the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Hengduan Mountains, crossing deep mountains, canyons, and rapids. Along the way, there are many natural and geological dangers such as landslides, roadbed subsidence and deformation, mudslides, rock collapses, and flash flood threats.
The Kunming-Kunming Railway is a miracle in the history of railways, and it can also be said to be a railway full of high risks.
Look at the scenery outside the window, and then look at the scenery in the carriage.
Most of the people taking the slow train are Yi people along the way, and some are railway employees along the way. Some are visiting relatives, some are going to work, some are doing business, some are unable to buy express tickets and have to leave, and some are working shifts.
Railway workers, as well as students who go to school and go home on local trains... Some carry bamboo poles on their backs, some carry bags, some lead pigs, some lead sheep... Some carry oranges on their backs
Some are carrying walnuts, some are carrying children... Some are smoking, some are drinking, some are playing cards, some are chatting, some are sleeping, some are littering, some are spitting everywhere...
It really fits that sentence: there are hundreds of people, all kinds of people. But judging from their dress and behavior, most of them should be living at the bottom of society, not people who live a good life. Although life is hard,
But they still have smiles on their faces that are full of love for life.
I was just thinking: the same people, some rich and some poor; the same cars, some fast and some slow; the same roads, some fast and some slow; the same scenery, different angles
, have different feelings; the same place, different seasons, have different scenery; the same place, the same season, the same scenery, different moods, have different feelings. How people live is a lifetime, so I
How do I want to live my whole life? I don’t think the life on this slow train is what I want.
I thought again: an egg in my hand may be just a dish, either boiled or fried; if this egg is in Peony's hand, it is a tool for "money begets money". As long as she is willing to keep raising it, she can "make money".
"Infinite". If you eat it, it will be gone. If you raise it and develop it, it will be inexhaustible. Then how can I find the "egg" of my life? If I find it, how can I "develop it"
"Woolen cloth?
I also thought about Miki. I wondered what Miki was doing, whether she was living well, whether she had found an ideal job, and whether she had met someone she liked. After thinking about it, I wondered whether she was happy, whether she was in danger, or not.
I have no choice but to accompany someone I don’t want to accompany. I thought about Lin Ling and wondered how she was doing when she returned. Did she meet the person who arranged the arrangement? Has her mood improved and how was her health? I thought about Mudan and wondered how she was now.
Whether they are feeding ducks, cleaning, eating and resting, chatting on the Internet, or worrying about things... Even if they think about it, they are just thinking in vain.
I thought a lot. I had a headache, felt thirsty, and felt hungry.
After all, people still need to eat and drink. I must thank my dear sister Peony for preparing so much food for me. Let’s drink beer. Drink some beer and eat some bread. It will make you feel better. I’ll keep the duck and take it home.
Let's eat together. After all, my brothers and I have never tasted this specialty of Qingyijiang.
After eating and drinking, the sky is dark and we are still far from home.
I have declined Qiqi's invitation, and the situation in Chengdu has also changed a lot. Sanmu went to work in a distant place. Sisi went to the border for adventure. Lin Ling went back to take over the factory, and might get married and start a family. Mudan's career has already
On the right track, as time goes by, if nothing unexpected happens, when she accumulates enough original capital, she will definitely do something bigger. I can feel her gentleness and firmness. In comparison
Below, Aunt Yingyao's bakery business seems to be "unable to grow". Classmate Jiang Zheng has adapted to society and has become a "cigarette collector". There should be no suspense about the implementation of his work. As for me, I haven't found anything yet.
I don’t know what the results will be if Mr. Monkey goes to tutoring. If he can get into an ideal university, it’s worth it. If “every year is not as good as one year”, it would be a pity to waste time and money.
There is no communication with adults anymore. Maybe in their world, I have grown up, and there is no need or obligation to take care of me anymore. "If you become a dragon, you can go to heaven, if you become a snake, you can crawl into the grass." is their saying.
"Mantra". I don't know if they will do this to their two younger brothers in the future. I suddenly and inexplicably felt sad.
I don’t know if it was a mistake for me to come to this world. I feel that because I came to this world, I have increased the burden and troubles of adults, made them work hard, made them leave their hometowns, and made them suffer hardships. If there was an apple at home
, if I don’t come to this world, they can each get a quarter, but if I come, they can only get a fifth. If I don’t come to this world, I don’t have to eat from adults.
Wear adults' clothes, don't spend adults' money, don't break adults' hearts, don't make adults' black hair turn gray... Full of self-blame, full of sadness, full of doubts, suddenly filled my heart strongly.
