Chapter 533: Dragon-Phoenix Twins

At first it seemed nothing, but when he saw clearly the two children curled under the seat, Lu Cheng was surprised.

He saw that under the seat, near the innermost corner, it was a bit dim, yet Lu Cheng could still make it out.

He had originally thought the child who could run out would be at least six or seven years old, but the two children he now saw were only about two or three.

They're way too small! How did they get onto the train?

Lu Cheng couldn't attend to his doubts; getting the two children out first was most important, as they kept hiding under the seat for some reason.

"Hey, you two, come out quickly!" Lu Cheng gestured.

Immediately a female Educated Youth laughed and said, "Comrade Police Officer, you sound too stern; they're children, you have to coax them."

Lu Cheng glanced and thought, that's right; clearly when he spoke, the two children shrank back inside in fear.

"Kids, come out quickly, suck suck suck…"

This time Lu Cheng's tone was much gentler, yet it still made the Educated Youth laugh.

"Ha ha, I said Comrade Police Officer, you're calling a dog!"

Lu Cheng frowned a bit; in his years as Train Police, this was the first time he'd encountered such a situation.

Before, whether it was fights, theft, jumping onto trains, or lying on the tracks, he could handle them quickly.

But faced with two little children unwilling to come out, Lu Cheng was at a loss, mainly fearing to frighten them.

Lu Cheng had to call Train Staff Xiao Qin and the others, but even under Xiao Qin's and Xiao Ye's gentle calls, the two children still showed no intention to come out.

Lu Cheng lost patience, leaned over, and tried to forcibly pull the children out.

Xiao Qin blocked him: "Hey Lu Jingzhang, don't pull them hard, you'll scare the kids even more."

Lu Cheng inhaled: "Then what do you suggest? We can't have them stay hidden forever; if nothing works, we could dismantle the seat."

"Look how violent you are, either pulling hard or tearing things apart!"

Xiao Qin muttered discontentedly; although Lu Cheng is a sergeant, he never puts on any airs, so Xiao Qin and the others don't treat him as a leader.

Lu Cheng didn't mind and simply said, "Then you go ahead and get those two children out."

Xiao Qin smiled and reached out: "Give me your work ID."

Lu Cheng asked, puzzled, "What do you need my work ID for?"

"Oh, just give it to me."

Seeing Xiao Qin grin confidently, Lu Cheng had to pull out his work ID and place it in her palm.

Xiao Qin squatted by the seat, leaning her head inside to look.

"Kids, don't be afraid, we're good people. Look, this uncle is a police officer; your parents surely told you to seek help from the police when in trouble, so come out…"

Xiao Qin waved Lu Cheng's work ID, and it seemed to work; the two children finally relaxed, inching out with tiny steps.

But as soon as the two fuzzy little heads emerged, Lu Cheng quickly grabbed their necks and hauled them away.

Xiao Qin and Xiao Ye chased after, "Lu Jingzhang, Lu Jingzhang, don't be so rough, you scared the kids."

When they mentioned the Bunk Car, Broadcaster Xiao Zhou also came over.

"Hey Lu Jingzhang, whose child is this? Should I make an announcement to ask?"

Lu Cheng set the two children down, waved at Xiao Zhou: "No need to broadcast; these kids are probably the ones He Juzhang mentioned earlier. We'll wait until the station and see if we can contact the Railway Bureau."

After speaking, Lu Cheng and Xiao Zhou and the others finally examined the two children.

One boy and one girl, chubby round faces; the girl was easy to spot, her hair tied in two pigtails. At a glance, the two children truly looked identical.

Xiao Qin exclaimed, "Oh my, these are Dragon-Phoenix Twins, they look so alike. Which family is so blessed to have such twins?"

No wonder Xiao Qin was amazed; twins are already rare, and Dragon-Phoenix Twins even more so.

One boy and one girl, together they literally make the character "good."

Xiao Ye usually didn't speak much, but seeing these adorable children, she couldn't help but squat down to ask.

"What are your names?"

The two children said nothing.

Xiao Ye asked again, "How did you get onto the train?"

The two children still said nothing.

Xiao Ye asked many more questions: where are you from, what are the adults' names, what do they do for work?

In any case, the three of them took turns asking a lot, and finally everyone reached a conclusion.

Could it be that they still can't speak? But that wouldn't make sense; they look two or three years old. Even if they speak late and aren't fluent, they should be able to utter a few simple words.

Perhaps the several female comrades, fascinated by the twins, asked so many questions, but Lu Cheng wasn't interested at all.

Anyway, now that the two children are found, we'll inform the Ha City Railway Bureau later and have them send someone to pick them up.

"Alright then, Xiao Qin, you three take the children away first. If they're hungry, give them something to eat; if they're sleepy, watch over them tonight."

After the two children were taken away, Lu Cheng finally lay down to continue resting.

When they reached the next station, it was already late night, and He Juzhang couldn't be reached; only a duty officer was present.

Lu Cheng originally wanted to tell the duty officer directly that the children were found and suggest leaving them at the Railway Bureau where the train stopped.

But the two children refused to get off, hiding again, leaving Lu Cheng utterly helpless.

Since this is a Youth Special Train, the stop time is short; they could only take the two children aboard for now, and wait until dawn to see if they can contact He Juzhang.

Late at night, all the carriages grew much quieter, and the Educated Youth leaned on each other and fell asleep.

Lu Cheng, having finished his duty once and seeing nothing else, returned to his carriage to prepare for sleep.

But as soon as he opened the door, the two children were standing inside, staring blankly, giving Lu Cheng a huge start.

"No, you two... when did you come in!"

Just like during the day, the two children still said nothing.

The carriage lights were off, and the two children stared with wide, unblinking eyes, making them even more frightening.

Lu Cheng unconsciously pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and suppressed his surprise.

Xiao Qin also ran over: "Officer Lu, they don't want to sleep with us; they said they want to find a police uncle."

Lu Cheng was surprised: "They can speak?"

Xiao Qin nodded: "Yeah, but that's all they said."

It's good they can speak; Lu Cheng worried that the two kids are too young—if they couldn't speak, it would be troublesome.

"All right, Xiao Qin, go rest first; you've been busy all day. Anyway, I have a bunk here, so they can stay here too."

"Okay, Officer Lu, I'm going to rest; call me if anything comes up."

Lu Cheng waved his hand, and after Xiao Qin left, he stood there smoking; while smoking, he glanced at the two kids five times.

After tossing the cigarette butt, Lu Cheng walked into the carriage, sat beside the bed, and said: "You two, stand up."

The two kids glanced at each other, didn't move, and Lu Cheng realized his remark was redundant, since they were already standing properly.

"I'm asking you two: how did you get on the train?"

The two kids stayed silent again, and Lu Cheng realized asking again was pointless; they must have sneaked aboard.

At the time the platform was so crowded that such small kids sneaking onto the train went unnoticed.

"All right, I'll ask another question: why did you sneak onto the train?"

After waiting a while, seeing they still wouldn't speak, Lu Cheng grew a bit anxious: "You won't talk, huh? Believe it or not, I'll throw you two out the window!"

Being just kids, they weren't used to being scared—or maybe it was the little boy who spoke first.

"We're going to the Capital City to find our dad…"
