"Let me ask you one last time, will you help me open a letter of introduction?"
"No help."
Zhou Shilin's attitude was also very firm.
He is five years older than Wen Qian and has the responsibility for her safety.
"If you need money, I'll give it to you. You can't go out alone."
The two were in a stalemate.
Wen Qian stared at the man in front of her. The heat in her eyes made Zhou Shilin's whole body feel faintly warm. He moved to the side awkwardly, and his raised Adam's apple trembled unconsciously.
"Let's eat."
"Don't eat."
Wen Qian suddenly leaned forward, curled her lips slyly, and said in a sweet voice: "If you don't agree, I will kiss you until you agree."
Personality no longer matters.
Anyway, in Zhou Shilin's eyes, she was just a pervert who was always lusting after his body.
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Captain Zhou, who had never changed his expression when a mountain collapsed in front of him, jumped up and his handsome face was stained with a trace of blush. Fortunately, his skin was dark and it was not noticeable.
That's embarrassing enough.
"Girls need to respect themselves!"
"I know, but you are my man. Why don't I respect myself when I kiss my own man? Or, do you want me to kiss another man?"
Zhou Shilin: "..."
He knew that he was never her match.
Finally, after Wen Qian's hard work, Zhou Shilin finally relaxed and went to the instructor to write a letter of introduction. In the afternoon, he took Wen Qian to the county train station to buy train tickets.
The train station is crowded.
Zhou Shilin was tall and held Wen Qian in his arms along the way. The two of them were very close, but neither of them spoke. An embarrassment with a different kind of sweetness spread in the air.
Wen Qian felt warm when she thought of the three hundred yuan that Zhou Shilin had given her when she arrived.
He said it was not easy to go to Yangcheng.
She didn't panic since she had money in hand, and even asked her to buy more goods, but she also had her own principles, so she quietly kept the three hundred yuan at home.
The train is moving.
Wen Qian stuck her head out of the window and waved to Zhou Shilin.
"wait me back."
At this moment, passing through the crowd.
Zhou Shilin only saw Wen Qian's pretty face with a beautiful smile.
There was a smile on his lips: "Be safe and come back soon."
***
Night falls.
Zhou Shilin only discovered the three hundred yuan under his pillow when he was sleeping. Looking at the thick stack of unity, he felt a little complicated for a moment. This time, Wen Qian really started to change from the bottom of his heart.
She has really changed.
And he seemed to have changed, and he couldn't help but worry about her. He was worried about whether she was scared when she traveled far away alone, whether she had eaten...
at the same time.
Wen Qian is eating.
What he ate were steamed buns stuffed with pork and green onions that Zhou Shilin bought specially at a state-owned restaurant in the afternoon. The fat, white buns were delicious even when they were cold. The children next door looked at them eagerly and drooled all over the floor.
"Mom, I want to eat steamed buns."
The middle-aged woman wiped her son's saliva with her sleeve and looked at Wen with a flattering smile: "Sister, look how greedy your eldest nephew is, how about you give the child a taste?"
Wen Qian: "?"
What the hell? A big nephew fell from the sky?
She glanced at the mother and son opposite, and refused expressionlessly: "No, if you want to eat steamed buns, go to the restaurant to buy them. The steamed buns there don't require food stamps."
The middle-aged woman smiled unnaturally.
"The child can't eat much."
She wanted to say a few more words, but Wen Qian had already closed her eyes, folded her hands in front of her, and exuded the aura of keeping strangers away. The woman could only shut her mouth and pat the crying child on the butt. A slap.
"Who is this person? He doesn't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young."
The night passed without incident.
the next day.
Wen Qian took a towel to wash up. As soon as she left, the middle-aged woman looked around and saw that the man wearing glasses opposite was still sleeping. She hesitated for a second and gently opened Wen Qian's handbag under the seat. .
Wen Qian didn't notice anything strange after coming back from the shower.
The carriage was already bustling with people talking, moving, and having breakfast. Countless smells were mixed in the confined space, making people's brains buzz.
Wen Qian didn't mind the smell either.
As usual, she took out the steamed buns and the braised beef Zhou Shilin specially bought for her from her handbag. Then she noticed something was wrong. The contents in the bag seemed to have been turned over.
Food is there.
There are clothes too.
She carried the money with her in her pocket, but only one thing was missing - a letter of introduction!
If the letter of introduction is lost, she will have to live on the street.
But who would steal a letter of introduction? This thing is neither for food nor drink, and it is of no use if stolen. After searching every corner again, Wen Qian was sure that the letter of introduction was really missing.
Letters of introduction have no legs.
Unless someone did it on purpose.
Wen Qian thought for a few seconds, then her meaningful eyes fell on the middle-aged woman opposite.
The woman was already feeling guilty, and being stared at by such a sharp gaze made her feel even more guilty. She shouted inwardly, "Don't rely on others if you lose something yourself!"
"How do you know I lost something?"
In just one sentence, Wen Qian was sure that the middle-aged woman had stolen the letter of introduction for no other reason than that she did not feed her son any steamed buns.
She simply wasn't in a hurry anymore.
He leaned back calmly, with a knowing smile on his lips.
The middle-aged woman was a little panicked.
She had stolen the letter of introduction just now and hadn't had time to destroy it. Now the letter of introduction was on her body. If the other party forcefully searched her body, wouldn't the secret be revealed?
After thinking about it, she immediately stood up and left.
"Don't stop me from going to the bathroom."
Wen Qian straightened up and stretched out a leg to block the woman's feet. The smile on her face had long since disappeared. She didn't bother to talk in circles and went straight to the point: "Did you steal my letter of introduction? Give it back, or you'll do it." In your trouser pocket."
These words made the middle-aged woman's expression change drastically.
She tried her best not to show her timidity, and shouted her injustice loudly: "I don't understand what you are talking about. Don't think that just because you are from the city, you can bully us rural people. I need to go to the toilet!"
The woman's voice was shrill.
A simple sentence aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding passengers towards Wen Qian.
"What's wrong with rural people? Why do you look down on rural people?"
"Counting three generations up, who is not a rural person?"
"Bullying others at a young age is not a good thing!"
For a time, the crowd was excited.
The middle-aged woman was so proud that a little girl, as young as a seedling and melon seeds, dared to fight with her and use the public opinion to spray her to death.
"Step aside!"
"No!"
Wen Qian responded tit-for-tat, grabbing the middle-aged woman's sleeve and pulling her away, while not forgetting to explain loudly to the people around her.
"I am also a rural person, but I will not do anything to embarrass rural people."
"You stole my letter of introduction and one hundred yuan because of a grudge against a bun!"
One hundred dollars!
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.
"Is it a mistake?"
"How is it possible? If there was no suspicion, why would they hold on to her!"
“It’s really embarrassing for us rural people!”
In the blink of an eye.
Public opinion is one-sided.
The middle-aged woman panicked and shouted at the top of her lungs: "I didn't take it, it wasn't me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, from the other side of the carriage, a man wearing glasses came leading the police.
When the police arrive.
The crowd fell silent for a moment.
The middle-aged woman looked as if she had seen a savior, wiping tears in grievance.
"Comrade, I didn't get her letter of introduction or money."
"I am a rural woman, alone with my children to visit relatives in the border areas. I got knocked down several times along the way and had to walk dozens of miles of mountainous roads. My feet were worn out. No matter how hard and tired I was, I didn't complain a word. How could I do this? It’s a dirty, dirty thing to do.”
These words are sincere.
Not only were the people around him sighing, but even the policemen were moved.
"So you are a military wife."
After saying that, he turned to look at Wen Qian.
"Comrade, are you mistaken? Why would a comrade's wife do such a thing to smear the image of military family members? Why don't you look for it further?"
Wen Qian pursed her lips and said nothing.
She almost wanted to applaud the middle-aged woman. Oscar owed her a statuette.
What an embarrassment to the military wife!
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to her, Wen Qian rolled her eyes, imitated the woman and started crying, wiped the non-existent tears from the corner of her eyes, and said miserably: "I looked everywhere and couldn't find it. She must have taken it. If If you don’t return my letter of introduction and one hundred dollars, I’ll jump off the train!”
