Chapter 414: You can't do it like this!

~36 min read 7,028 words

"What do you think we want to do?"

Wu Fengxian sat on the sofa, looking at this woman who could crush her in both temperament and figure, and returned her question with a question.

"I don't want to know what you want to do, but whatever you do, you can't hurt me and my child."

Zhou Wang Yamei sat on the side sofa, glared at the opposite side, and issued a warning.

Wu Fengxian, however, sized up this woman again.

"Do you think he would hurt the child?"

Wu Fengxian didn't mention who "he" was, but Zhou Wang Yamei knew who she was talking about.

Just this one question made Zhou Wang Yamei lose her momentum for confrontation.

But the opposite side didn't intend to end this topic.

"Is this child really not his?"

"You!"

Zhou Wang Yamei glared and said very seriously: "I don't know what relationship you have with him, but you can't be so impolite here."

"Relationship?"

Wu Fengxian smiled and said: "Your 'relationship' and my 'relationship' seem to be the same."

Zhou Wang Yamei didn't know why this person could be so good at retorting; she said one sentence, and she retorted one sentence.

She didn't know if she should respond to the other party about her relationship with that person, but now she didn't intend to explain.

Because no matter how many times she explained, the things this woman determined couldn't be changed.

Just like the things she determined, others couldn't change her either.

Why else would they say women understand women best?

"I don't want to have this kind of meaningless argument with you; tell me, what are you doing here, and what does he want me to do?"

How could Zhou Wang Yamei let the other party affect her state of mind, even if the other party kept using that person to affect her?

"Also!"

Zhou Wang Yamei pursued before the other party answered: "Is this 'no risk' something he told me, or did he hint to someone else?"

"I don't see him very often either."

Wu Fengxian, who was sitting opposite, suddenly lost her sharpness, and her tone was no longer sharp.

"Even if we live very close, I am still like a child holding a kite string, looking up at him flying far away."

Zhou Wang Yamei could understand the mood of this woman opposite; she is no different now.

It's not that she doesn't miss the old feelings and doesn't miss Fu Haibo at all in her heart.

But she is no longer an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl; she no longer has the capital for fantasy and willfulness.

Her son is the most important person in her life.

While considering feelings, she also has to consider the safety of herself and her child, and consider the rice jar at home.

Whoever can give her and her son a warm home, she will pay without regret.

Looking at the woman opposite looking at the fireplace, Zhou Wang Yamei now wanted to comfort her very much, but the words that followed made her not know where her pity came from.

"I will never have him, even if I have a lot of money, a lot of money."

"Money... I..."

Zhou Wang Yamei felt like a fool now.

She had already lived like this, yet she still wanted to comfort this rich person!

Keep the way of speaking simple, please omit the progressive emotions!

You are not an actor!

"This 'no risk' is said to you, and it is also said to me; at least that's how I believe him."

"So,"

Zhou Wang Yamei looked at the woman opposite and asked: "Who are you, and what does he want to do?"

"Me? Hehe~"

Wu Fengxian is fake, Lou Jie is real, but Lou Jie cannot tell her her name.

After a short rest in the afternoon, Lou Jie followed the task Wen San'er gave her and began to communicate with the person she initially thought was the mother of his child.

The conversation went smoothly, without any twists and turns, because both sides had precautions and alienation toward each other.

Even though Zhou Wang Yamei explained her identity and explained the child's father and family, Lou Xiaoe didn't believe it.

She wouldn't recognize the wrong person; the child's eyebrows and eyes were Li Xuewu's appearance; saying they were different, the child also had parts that followed the mother.

This appearance following the roots is really too fantastical; there are always similarities in a thousand people and a thousand faces.

Why else would they say stereotypical impressions? This Zhou Wang Yamei understood very well; there was no way to explain it.

Lou Jie didn't explicitly state her relationship with Li Xuewu, but as the person in charge of Li Xuewu's money bag, her temperament already explained everything.

Li Xuewu is good at using people; his little family fortune is just a drop in the bucket in front of Lou Jie, not worth mentioning~.

So he wasn't afraid that Lou Jie would covet his money.

Letting Lou Jie manage the money can give Lou Jie a sense of security and can give himself a sense of security.

Who else is more suitable to manage his assets than Lou Jie?

Who would refuse a woman who only has gold bars left in her ordinary home to give birth to his child?

She doesn't want fame or status, and she is always thinking about subsidizing his assets; isn't this more intimate than those VIP young ladies in banks!

This time Lou Jie suddenly received Wen San'er's notice to come to Steel City to do a big business.

Note, it is business, not trade.

It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but everything is difficult when you go out; if you don't bring some bottom-of-the-box stuff, you can't do business.

So this time Lou Jie brought a suitcase...

"I won't say who I am; when you get to Jingcheng, if he wants to tell you, you will know."

"I still have to go to Jingcheng?!"

Zhou Wang Yamei didn't expect Li Xuewu to arrange for her to go to Jingcheng.

This had to make her surprised; not only were there people from the Fu family there, but she also wasn't prepared to become Li Xuewu's appendage.

In Steel City, at least she was independent, had her own house and child, and had a job to earn money to support the family.

She needed the sense of security Li Xuewu gave her and the other half of the care the child lacked.

But now her sense of security was about to be gone; Jingcheng, she didn't want to go.

"You have to go!"

Lou Jie untied her hair and let her black hair scatter on her shoulders.

Lou Jie had kept her hair long for the past few months because that bad guy liked long hair.

Looking at this woman opposite, she knew that bad guy's preferences: black, long, straight, big, thin, and long.

Especially the two long legs opposite that kept shaking her eyes, making Lou Jie decide to clean him up when she went back.

"You are very dangerous."

Lou Jie combed her hair, appearing beautiful and dignified.

"This is what he said, saying someone has been monitoring you, and also saying he is afraid that the other party will jump over the wall in a hurry."

Zhou Wang Yamei was stunned.

She had never discovered that she was being monitored, nor had she discovered any danger around her.

But she believed Li Xuewu, not only because Li Xuewu promised Fu Haibo to take care of their mother and child.

But also because Li Xuewu had no interest involvement with her; Li Xuewu had no relationship with her, that day... it wasn't worth Li Xuewu lying to her.

"Hehe."

Seeing the blank expression opposite, Lou Jie chuckled and said: "You have to believe him; he just has this ability to let us live, let us die, and let us believe in him for a lifetime."

"I didn't not believe him."

Zhou Wang Yamei could be even more mature and steady than Lou Jie; she had already figured out where the danger came from.

Offering favors for no reason is either treacherous or thieving.

"Is it that Yu Min tonight?"

Thinking of the request Wu Fengxian wanted her to cooperate with, Zhou Wang Yamei widened her eyes and pursued: "Is he going to clean up Yu..."

"Shh!"

Lou Jie signaled Zhou Wang Yamei to be quiet, then nodded lightly and said: "His backing power is very large; once he targets you, you can't run."

After explaining this, she said again: "The danger he mentioned is not just this, but another group of people waiting for an opportunity to break out."

"Is it the one who came last time!"

Zhou Wang Yamei suddenly stood up, looked at Lou Xiaoe, and said: "It's the one who came with that someone last time, the one who solved our problems."

Seeing that Lou Xiaoe didn't know either, Zhou Wang Yamei frowned, stomped her feet, and said: "He said that one is..."

Zhou Wang Yamei gestured, and then said again: "Are we very dangerous now? Do we have to leave immediately?"

"Can't leave."

Lou Jie shook her head calmly and said: "Can't leave now."

As she spoke, she pointed outside the window and said: "With any movement, we won't see tomorrow's sun."

Zhou Wang Yamei was stunned, falling onto the sofa weakly with no strength in her whole body.

"I've been afraid of today."

Zhou Wang Yamei said while shedding tears: "I've been afraid that someone would covet his ill-gotten wealth, so I wanted to hand it over to the public, hand it all over to the public."

Lou Jie got the full set of rhetoric, so naturally, she knew how to persuade Zhou Wang Yamei.

"The man you were with before wasn't a fool, and the other party isn't a fool either; who doesn't understand the principle of a cunning rabbit having three burrows."

Lou Jie's family wealth was overwhelming, so she understood the principles even more.

She had three burrows at 317 Xinzhong Street, and the capital she brought this time was withdrawn from Xinzhong Street.

Zhou Wang Yamei figured it out; after Fu Haibo left, she and her child had long been in danger.

It had been so calm all along entirely because of the deterrence of Li Xuewu's identity and the fact that the property these people had been coveting hadn't been revealed.

But Li Xuewu was ultimately not a cadre in Steel City, and his influence hadn't reached that far.

The dog jumping over the wall in a hurry that Li Xuewu mentioned was entirely possible.

"So, can we only wait for him to clean up that... that someone before he can take us away?"

"No, not wait for him."

Lou Jie said very seriously: "It's us; we clean them up here, and then return to Jingcheng; only then can the rest be handed over to him to handle."

As she spoke, she saw Zhou Wang Yamei's expression become panicked, so she said again: "He is not in Jingcheng now either, but he will contact us."

As she spoke, she pointed to the telephone on the small table, signaling that Li Xuewu's instructions would be transmitted through this telephone.

Zhou Wang Yamei's gaze was fixed on the telephone, as if Li Xuewu could drill out of this telephone.

"I... can... can we do it?"

Zhou Wang Yamei was a bit hesitant and a bit afraid now, appearing very unconfident.

"Rest assured."

Lou Jie stood up and said very confidently: "He is willing to part with the money in my hands, but he won't be willing to part with me."

As she spoke, she sized up Zhou Wang Yamei sitting opposite again and said: "He also won't be willing to part with you; those dogs won't pounce if they don't see meat."

After saying this, she went upstairs; her time was very tight, and tomorrow was still a hard battle; she couldn't be without spirit.

"Rest early; we still have to go shopping tomorrow."

"Shopping?"

Zhou Wang Yamei was still thinking about Wu Fengxian's words; hearing what she had to do tomorrow, she frowned and looked at the stairs.

It's so dangerous, and you still want to go shopping?

Is it not enough to have eyes staring at you?

"Yes, we have to spend money tomorrow to let those people know I brought money; only then will we be safer."

As she spoke, Lou Jie was already on the second floor; her voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared with the sound of the door closing.

Zhou Wang Yamei lay weakly on the sofa, rubbing her eyebrows with her right hand.

She had always played the role of a housewife, but she had never performed the image of being extravagant and arrogant.

This has to do with personal life experience; those with rich experience like Wen San'er can perform arrogance and forgetfulness vividly.

On the train, Wen San'er was no longer the Wen San'er of before; he was now Manager Man Dejie.

"Silly Qiang, go and get a cup of water from the attendant!"

"Yes, Manager."

Da Qiangzi stood up through gritted teeth, took the water bottle placed on the table, and went to the attendant's room at the end of the carriage.

He had received the manager's instructions to listen to this person in everything.

He originally thought it was an ordinary security job, but didn't expect it to be a chore.

Da Qiangzi and the three of them entered the train station and watched as this Manager Man led a large box out of the luggage storage.

Then, the two of them carried it out the door and turned into a dim alley.

At first, they didn't know what it was; it looked big but wasn't heavy.

But as soon as they entered the alley, this Manager Man started taking off his clothes, which directly stunned the two of them.

They had listened to the manager's instructions to listen to this person in everything, but... but there were some things they were unwilling to do and couldn't accept!

Here... it's so cold here!

But this Manager Man was dissatisfied when he saw them not moving, impatiently pointing at them to take them off quickly, and kept saying that time was tight.

These two were ready to turn around and run away when they heard this, even if they were punished by the manager when they went back.

They couldn't lose their integrity, just like the West couldn't lose Jerusalem.

It wasn't until this Manager Man took out a Zhongshan suit from the box and changed into it that they reacted; this was changing clothes.

They weren't unfamiliar with this; it was also a means of mixing in the underworld.

Looking at each other, the two also went to the box to find suitable clothes.

Seeing the box, they were stunned; the remaining two sets were both Zhongshan suits.

With this kind of outfit, what does he want to do!

Wen San'er wouldn't tell them what he wanted to do; he just stated the identities of the three.

Man Dejie, Manager of the Procurement Service Department of the Xidan Market in Jingcheng, and Da Qiangzi and Da Chun'er are both staff members of the Service Department.

Don't believe it?

Pull! There are introduction letters and identity information.

At this time, people believe in this stuff.

To talk about this official seal, I have to thank Fu Changhua; when Li Xuewu was handling him, he felt this thing was useful, so he "borrowed" it.

Of course, Fu Changhua was still "very willing to borrow" it to Li Xuewu; anyway, he had no use for it anymore.

This unit is not a serious unit either; it is completely an external unit created by Fu Haibo and Zhao Linglong for procurement and handling special commodities.

It has a bit of the meaning of the Jingcheng Scrap Company combined with the Jiaodaokou Business Department of the Dongcheng Supply and Marketing Center.

It's just that people have been operating for many years and look very real.

Wen San'er took off his rags and changed into a Zhongshan suit and leather shoes; he really looked like a bear wearing a gown—a person.

With a fountain pen in his pocket, his entire temperament changed.

The sleazy and divine temperament disappeared, and his whole body was filled with the aura of corruption and cunning.

He started ordering these two chores around on the train like a fox borrowing a tiger's power.

Are you saying Wen San'er is looking for trouble or taking revenge for Da Qiangzi's previous impoliteness?

Of course not; he knew how to keep a low profile in Jingcheng; would he dare to be arrogant in the Northeast where he was unfamiliar with the place?

Wen San'er is tempering the eagle; these two people are not his own people, and if he wants to use them when he gets to Steel City, he has to grind them well.

Talking about big principles is useless; you have to grind them bit by bit from small things.

Grind their tempers to the critical point, and then suppress them with one move, just like tempering an eagle.

After ordering Silly Qiang, he said to Da Chun'er, who was sitting beside him: "Get up and stand for a while; don't sit all the time; it's uncomfortable."

As he spoke, he used his hand to push Da Chun'er to stand up quickly.

Da Chun'er didn't know what was wrong with this Manager Man.

He stood up blankly, thinking that this Manager Man was quite caring.

This person isn't that bad; he even knows that sitting on hard wooden seats for a long time makes the butt hurt.

But this Manager Man's subsequent actions almost made Da Chun'er's nose crooked with anger.

"Oh~"

Only to see this Manager Man kick off his shoes, lift his legs and put them on the seat he had just sat on, and lie directly on the seat.

What's even more annoying is that this Manager Man even made a comfortable sound.

"Damn it!"

Da Chun'er was about to explode, but was nudged by Da Qiangzi, who walked over.

"Qiang Ge, he..."

"Da Chun!"

Da Qiangzi grabbed Da Chun's arm and squeezed it, glared, and said: "Forgot what the manager said?"

Glaring at Da Chun, Da Qiangzi walked to the seat and said to Wen San'er with a full face of smiles: "Manager Man, the water is brought."

"Hmm~"

Only to see this Manager Man lift his eyelids, slightly squint his eyes, and ask: "Is it hot?"

"It's hot!"

Da Qiangzi smiled and replied: "The attendant just boiled the water, and I happened to catch it."

Wen San'er rolled his eyes and said: "Knowing it's boiling water and still want me to drink it? Stupid!"

"I..."

The smile on Da Qiangzi's face instantly froze; this bastard just called him Silly Qiang, and now he's saying he's stupid.

Da Chun was watching from the side; seeing that Qiang Ge was about to pour the hot water bottle on Manager Man's face, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Da Qiangzi.

"Qiang Ge, can't be impulsive."

Da Chun'er was the one persuading Da Qiangzi this time: "You forgot what the manager told you?"

Da Qiangzi looked at the bastard lying on the seat like a big master, really wanting to pour a hot water bottle of boiling water on his face.

Now with Da Chun stopping him, he gritted his eyes, breathed two rough breaths, and then shrugged off Da Chun'er's pull, put the water bottle on the table, and was about to leave.

"What are you going to do?"

Only to see Wen San'er squinting at Da Qiangzi and saying: "I didn't hear what I said; go to the aisle and let the water in the bottle cool to a suitable temperature before bringing it back!"

After saying this, Wen San'er turned around, facing inside, ready to sleep.

Da Qiangzi glared and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Da Chun again.

"Qiang Ge, Qiang Ge, listen to me, calm down!"

Da Chun turned back, took the water bottle on the table, and pushed Da Qiangzi toward the aisle connecting the train carriages.

"Go, Qiang Ge, let's go smoke a cigarette."

After much persuasion, Da Chun finally pushed Da Qiangzi away.

Wen San'er glanced at the backs of the two at this time, then curled his lips, smiled wickedly, and lay down again.

"I shouldn't have come!"

Da Qiangzi punched the carriage board, making a "thud" sound, his face full of regret and anger.

"Click~"

Only to hear a flushing sound from the restroom, and a man walked out angrily.

He was just relieving himself, and the "thud" sound almost scared him into stopping.

He opened the door and was about to scold a few words, but seeing two big men looking at him with fierce faces, he turned around and ran into the carriage.

"Hey~ since you're here, can you really get off the train and go back?"

Da Chun kicked the restroom door shut, took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out and handed it to Da Qiangzi, then lit it for Da Qiangzi with a match.

"So what if I go back! At worst, I'll get a family punishment!"

Da Qiangzi smoked a cigarette hatefully, then shouted unconvinced.

Da Chun'er shook his head, unscrewed the lid of the water bottle in his hand, and said: "Is it worth it? What will you say when you go back? That you were wronged by being asked to pour water and cool water?"

At this moment, Da Chun'er became the sensible one; he took the lid off, tucked it into his pocket, stretched the strap of the water bottle, and hung it on the door handle.

Ignoring the water bottle shaking with the train, he took a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it for himself, and started smoking with Da Qiangzi.

"What do you think this bastard is going to do?"

Da Qiangzi frowned, thinking about the previous question, his eyes fixed on the shaking water bottle.

"How would I know!"

Da Chun'er spat out a puff of smoke, looked at Silly Qiang with slanted eyes, not knowing what bad trick this guy had thought of again.

Da Qiangzi squinted at Da Chun'er, then took a puff of smoke, not wanting to tell the conversation in the room.

This is the rule; even if it's his own brother, as long as the manager didn't say to tell others, he couldn't say it.

But he couldn't figure out why this bastard came in rags, brought two people, and changed into this outfit; isn't it obvious he's going to cheat people?

Although they aren't good things in Jishi City, Steel City isn't their territory; this over-the-river dragon is not easy to be.

Da Qiangzi knew some content, but couldn't figure out why.

Don't look at how angry he was just now, but if he were asked to get off the train, he wouldn't dare.

He heard the conversation in the room; that was a big business worth tens of thousands; if he messed it up, it wouldn't be as simple as a family punishment.

Da Chun'er didn't know the relevant content; he was ignorant and fearless at this moment, holding a cigarette, his legs shaking, still in that sloppy look.

"Hey!"

Only to see Da Chun seem to have discovered something, nudged Da Qiangzi with his elbow with a wicked smile, his eyes signaling the water bottle hanging on the door handle.

"What are you doing?"

Da Qiangzi spat out a puff of smoke, looked at Da Chun'er with slanted eyes, not knowing what bad trick this guy had thought of again.

Da Chun'er took down the water bottle on the door handle with a wicked smile, poked his head out to look inside with one eye, and then spat into it.

"Hmm!!!"

Da Qiangzi widened his eyes; what is this kid doing!

But then looking at Da Chun'er, who turned his head back and smiled wickedly at him, he also realized.

This... this trick is really damaging!

"You can't do it like this!"

Da Qiangzi took the cigarette from his mouth, snatched the water bottle from Da Chun'er's hand, and poured it onto the ice.

"Qiang Ge!?"

Da Chun'er looked at Silly Qiang, puzzled: "He treated you like that, and you still..."

Before he could finish his words, Da Qiangzi stopped, looked inside, and it was less than one-fifth.

Then, regardless of Da Chun'er's puzzled expression, he pushed open the restroom door and walked in, unbuckling his belt.

"Damn it, Qiang Ge!"

Da Chun'er felt that he was damaging enough, but didn't expect... didn't expect that what he played was all pediatric; Qiang Ge is the really damaging one!

"Hehehe, let you scold me for being stupid!"

Da Qiangzi stood in the restroom, smoking a cigarette, smiling wickedly and muttering, refilled Wen San'er's water bottle, and then handed the water bottle in his hand to Da Chun'er, who was standing at the door.

"Eww~~~"

Da Chun'er dodged back in disgust, but was stopped by Da Qiangzi again.

"Hold it! It's on my hand, not on the pot; what are you dodging for!"

"I feel sick just looking at it!"

Da Chun'er looked at Da Qiangzi in the restroom with disgust and refused to come over; he could even smell the urine smell emanating with the steam.

"Damn it, hurry up and take it!"

Da Qiangzi gestured with the water bottle and said: "I have to tie my pants, right!"

Da Chun'er looked at Da Qiangzi in the restroom, had no choice but to reach out and take the water bottle, and then hung it back on the door handle.

Da Qiangzi shook it off, came out, washed his hands, and then wiped them on his body.

He took the cigarette he was holding in his mouth, smiled wickedly, and said: "I see he has a lot of anger, so I'll add some virgin urine to help him get rid of the fire."

"What! Virgin urine!"

Da Chun'er's shock level was no less than seeing Silly Qiang pee into the water bottle just now.

"If you were a virgin, the lifelong reputation of Widow Wang next door would be ruined!"

"Get lost! Hehehe!"

After Da Qiangzi finished speaking, he laughed himself, scolded Silly Chun'er, and argued: "Today's virgin, I guarantee it's absolutely virgin today."

"Damn!"

Da Chun'er spat out a puff of smoke, looked at Silly Qiang with slanted eyes, and clicked his tongue: "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."

"Looking for a beating, right!"

The two grew up together; they were familiar with each other, and fighting and playing were common things.

The two smoked, laughed, and waited for the water in the water bottle to cool down.

Da Chun'er rolled up Da Qiangzi's sleeve to look; it was past three o'clock; no wonder Da Qiangzi said it was today's virgin.

"Can't drink anymore, hiccup~"

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong gripped his wine glass, his face red, stood up unsteadily, and walked toward the compartment with his gun.

Li Huai De, sitting opposite, was happy; finally, someone admitted defeat; he was just waiting for Li Xuewu to stand up, and he would also retreat.

Before Li Xuewu could stand up to catch the fleeing Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong, the train "clanged."

"Damn!"

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong was already drunk; he could barely stand, but was shaken by the train's sudden deceleration and fell forward.

"Hey!"

Li Xuewu was joking, but how could he let Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong fall face-first?

Only to see Li Xuewu rush forward a step, grab Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong's collar, and pull him back directly.

Following Li Xuewu's direction of force, the train also slowed down until it stopped.

"What's wrong!"

Li Huai De's drunkenness sobered up instantly, and he shouted toward the duty room in front.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong was pulled by Li Xuewu and sat back on the seat, still shaking his head, not knowing what had happened.

Li Xuewu didn't wait for the duty room to answer, jumped onto the chair, stepped over the back of the chair, and jumped into the aisle.

"Division Chief, the train stopped!"

Zhao Yagun directly topped the fire on the Type 56 in his hand, observing the situation around him alertly.

But it was night, and the lights in the carriage were on, so he couldn't see the situation outside the window.

Li Xuewu pushed Zhao Yagun aside, walked to the phone connected to the front and rear of the train, and dialed the locomotive directly.

Before he could ask, the conductor on duty answered first.

"Division Chief Li, something happened; the tracks in front are covered by heavy snow, and we can't move."

Li Xuewu didn't know what the situation was, frowned, looked at Li Huai De, and asked: "What do you mean?"

The conductor didn't answer Li Xuewu's question first, but asked Li Xuewu to look outside.

Li Xuewu put the phone aside, picked up the flashlight on the table, pulled the curtain, turned on the flashlight, and buckled it on the glass.

Well, under the dim sky, there was a dazzling whiteness, which was even more dazzling under the flashlight.

"What do you mean we can't move?"

Li Xuewu put the flashlight to Li Huai De, who walked over to check, and picked up the phone again to ask.

The conductor on duty looked at the driver standing in the cab, and the fireman was also standing in the distance, looking at this side helplessly.

"The snow is too heavy; our current position is a large curve; we don't dare to go too fast, and the inertia is insufficient; pulling such heavy cargo, we can't push away the snow in front; even if we push it away, it's very easy to have danger at the turnout."

Li Xuewu didn't understand the technical knowledge here, but since the conductor said so, it meant they couldn't move forward.

"It shouldn't be far; can we try to move forward slowly?"

This mission has a time limit; it's not like you can delay it just because you want to.

"It won't work."

The conductor on duty smiled bitterly and said: "If there were no turnouts, and we didn't slow down, it might be possible to rush to the destination; now if we force it, we might blow up the boiler."

"Then what should we do?"

Li Xuewu asked Li Huai De, who was beside him, for instructions, but Li Huai De didn't know how to handle it either.

The conductor on duty replied: "We have already contacted the dispatch center by telegram; safety is not a problem; they said they would send a snow-clearing locomotive."

"How long will it take?"

Li Xuewu didn't wait for Li Huai De to ask; he asked first.

This kind of mission carries a time limit; it's not like you can delay it just because you want to.

"It depends on the actual situation."

The conductor on duty also knew what kind of mission they were performing and didn't dare to play tricks on Li Xuewu and the others.

"According to their reply, even if they come out now, it will take a day to arrive."

Li Huai De frowned when he heard this and looked at the snow outside, completely helpless.

In this kind of extreme weather, could he take these people down to sweep the snow?

Li Xuewu saw Li Huai De not speaking and instructed the conductor on duty to report the situation here upward quickly and urge the snow-clearing train in front to hurry.

Hanging up the phone, Li Xuewu asked Li Huai De for instructions: "Should we also report it upward?"

"Hmm."

Li Huai De's hands were placed on the table, his fingers tapping disorderly.

"Let the Investigation Department report it; we only care about safety, not other business."

"Yes!"

Li Xuewu responded seriously and turned to walk toward the back.

At this moment, Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong was wiping his face with a wet towel, but his face was getting redder the more he wiped.

"What's wrong?"

Knowing something had happened, Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong raised his red eyes and glanced at Li Xuewu, who was walking over.

Li Xuewu sat on the hard seat opposite him and explained the problem in front.

"Damn!"

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong threw the towel on the table, looked at his watch, stood up unsteadily, and said to his subordinates: "Send a telegram; according to what Division Chief Li said, send the actual situation out and wait for a reply at any time."

The Investigation Department's duty personnel responded and turned to run to the hard-sleeper carriage; it looked like the telegram radio was in their hard-sleeper carriage.

After wiping his face and hearing this kind of news, Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong had sobered up; he walked to the window and picked up the flashlight to shine it.

"It looks like that heavy snow broadcast earlier has a follow-up."

Li Huai De sighed, walked to the radio, and turned the knob, wanting to hear if there was any news.

He was also sick and seeking medical advice; it was 3 o'clock in the morning; where would there be news for him to listen to?

Listening to the buzzing sound in the box, Li Huai De sighed helplessly again.

This is a natural disaster, not a problem that can be solved by manpower; no matter who comes, there is no way.

Li Xuewu didn't wait for news here; he went to the hard-sleeper carriage to wake up the sleeping team members and started guarding.

Don't look at the train being in the wilderness now, but Li Xuewu didn't dare to be careless at all.

They are doing security work; it doesn't matter when the train is moving; who can collide with a steel giant?

But now this steel giant has stopped, which is a lamb waiting to be slaughtered; he didn't dare to have problems at this time.

So he woke up all the team members and set up the light machine guns for emergencies.

Li Huai De didn't say anything when he saw Li Xuewu busy around; Li Xuewu did a good job in security business.

He only instructed Jin Yaohui, who walked over with sleepy eyes, to arrange for the duty personnel to prepare a midnight snack for everyone.

The team members had just woken up, had nothing in their stomachs, and their bodies were cold, so they had no spirit.

If they drank a bowl of porridge and ate a hot steamed bun, they would definitely be much more spirited.

Li Xuewu arranged the work for this carriage and picked up the phone to arrange work for the team members at the rear of the train.

The situation now is that everyone has to get up and execute guard work.

Li Xuewu arranged everything and went back to the carriage to change into his fur clothes, taking a team of people off the train to start patrolling.

The old saying goes, it's not cold when it snows, but cold when it melts; the temperature outside is not very low now.

But the wind is very strong, blowing the snowflakes flying around in the sky.

The place where the train is located is a curve, the most difficult place to guard.

If the train were straight, the front and rear cars could see the safety situation of the train through the lookout.

But with this kind of arc, they can only arrange for people to get off the train and patrol at the top of the arc.

Tightening the hat on his head, Li Xuewu pursed his lips to avoid the flying snowflakes, walking from the locomotive all the way to the rear of the train.

After getting on the rear locomotive, Li Xuewu talked to the team members on duty, talked about the current situation, and explained the handling plan.

The environment on the train is not as clean and tidy as in later generations, but the temperature is not low; both locomotives carry their own coal cars and can burn for three more days without problems.

After staying for about ten minutes, he took the team members who were changing shifts and got off the train again, walking back from the arc top to the locomotive.

After bringing all the posts, it was already 4 o'clock in the morning when he returned to the passenger carriage.

"How is it? Did they reply from above?"

Li Xuewu looked at Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong, who was sitting on the seat smoking, and asked.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong nodded, blew a puff of smoke, and said: "Let us wait, saying they have contacted the front to expedite."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xuewu and said: "Saying we must ensure safety."

"Hehe."

Li Xuewu chuckled and said: "I've seen it; except for the sealed carriages, they are all big iron lumps; if someone can withstand three light machine guns and fifteen Type 56s and take those things away, then we few pieces of material are gone, and it's useless."

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong curled his lips, squinted at Li Huai De, but didn't see anything wrong.

According to the values at this time, Li Xuewu's answer should be that he would sacrifice himself to protect the things behind.

But this bastard never said anything about sacrificing himself for the country; in three sentences, he first removed his own responsibility.

Looking at it now, this leader of his is also a set of tricks.

"Heh! Wait!"

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong's eyes were as red as a rabbit's; Li Xuewu suspected he would spray nosebleed at any time.

In this situation, the three of them are team leaders; no one dares to rest, so they can only sit dry.

Glancing outside, Li Xuewu leaned back in the hard seat, his eyes fixed on the window.

At this moment, the lights in the carriage were dimmed, and the snow outside reflected the distance as pitch black.

Not to mention far away, at least a hundred meters could be seen clearly.

Jin Yaohui arranged for everyone to eat the midnight snack and placed the teacup beside Li Huai De's hand.

"Leader, drink some water!"

Da Chun'er took the water bottle he had wiped several times and returned to the seat, smiling at the Manager Man who was squinting at them.

"Is it cold?"

"Cold, cold!"

Da Chun'er nodded repeatedly, responding with a smile.

Wen San'er glanced at Da Qiangzi, who was standing behind, and asked: "Why did it take so long?"

Da Qiangzi's gaze kept dodging; he was really afraid that he couldn't help but stare at the water bottle and arouse this bastard's suspicion.

Da Chun'er saw that this Manager Man didn't take the water bottle, but questioned the two of them, obviously trying to make Silly Qiang embarrassed.

"Manager Man, you don't need to be angry with him; he has a donkey's temper."

As he spoke, he gestured to the Manager Man with the water bottle in his hand, wanting to persuade him to drink water.

"We couldn't sleep, so we stood at the door and smoked for a while, and by the way, we had to wait for your water to cool down."

"Humph!"

Wen San'er didn't look at Da Chun'er, who was clearly anxious, but started to attack Da Qiangzi, who was avoiding his gaze.

"Look at your attitude; standing without standing, sitting without sitting; what can you do! What are you! I'm ashamed to bring you out!"

Da Qiangzi gritted his teeth at this moment, listening to the manager's words, but didn't dare to reply.

He is not angry now; let him scold; the more he scolds, the thirstier he gets; when the time comes, wait to drink the big master's urine.

Even if he made himself angry by scolding, he would endure it; scolding twice wouldn't make him lose a piece of meat, and the other party drinking his own urine would be the one suffering.

Thinking this way, Da Qiangzi's face was very indifferent as he listened to the scolding without replying.

Seeing Da Qiangzi's appearance, Manager Man scolded even more fiercely, from the unit's system to the duty of being a person, almost cursing Da Qiangzi's ancestors.

Da Chun'er stood on the side awkwardly, wanting to hand the water bottle over several times during the manager's scolding, but was dodged by this one.

Because it is a hard-seat carriage, there are also people who don't sleep in the second half of the night; at this moment, they all stood up to watch the excitement here.

The train attendant walked over to check; seeing that it was a leader scolding a subordinate, not a quarrel or fight, he turned around and went back.

"Look at your appearance; standing without standing, sitting without sitting; what can you do! What are you! I'm ashamed to bring you out!"

Da Qiangzi gritted his teeth, looked at Da Chun'er, and signaled that he couldn't hold it anymore, asking Da Chun'er to persuade this bastard to drink water quickly.

Da Chun'er gave Da Qiangzi a helpless look, signaling that he was trying his best.

"Leader, you don't need to be angry with him; with his donkey temper, I'm ashamed to bring him out!"

Da Chun'er, in order to persuade Manager Man to drink water, directly tilted his butt and stood on Manager Man's side to crusade against Da Qiangzi together.

"Don't be angry; come, drink some water to moisten your throat."
