Amid the monotonous noise of wheels hitting the rails, Li Aiguo looked at the receding scenery outside the car window.
If in the past he would have said with emotion, "The mountains and rivers of the motherland are so majestic and spectacular, Oli!"
But the words "Sir" echoed inexplicably in his ears.
Logically speaking, it is reasonable for a rural woman who came from before liberation to call her leader "sir".
However, Li Aiguo always felt that Zhang Yadan's words of "sir" seemed to be deliberately hiding his clumsiness.
Since she has joined the rural mutual aid group, she must have received ideological education, and she will not be ignorant of the specialness of the word 'sir'.
"Comrade Patriot, you are here."
Just as he was thinking about it, Captain Bai walked out of the carriage, holding a basket of duck eggs in his hand and a smile on his face.
"This is what the comrade from the mutual aid team insisted on giving to us in order to thank our crew for their help. There are thirty or forty duck eggs in such a large basket. When we got off the bus in Beijing, we divided them among the private crew."
"Really? Those two people are really generous." Li Aiguo smiled.
"They come from the countryside, and the people are very simple. We can't let them suffer."
Commander Bai smiled and said: "I would like to make a suggestion. Let's treat it as buying this basket of duck eggs, and later secretly give the money to Comrade Zhou Xiaomi at the original price."
"The money will be excluded from the extra income for this trip. What do you think?"
"I think it's okay." Li Aiguo nodded.
Captain Bai saw Zhang Yazhi peeking her head out of the private room and stretched out his hand to beckon: "Zhang Yazhi, stop hiding, I've seen you."
"You carry the duck eggs into the private room first."
"Why is it me again..."
Zhang Yazhi pouted, gave Li Aiguo a helpless look, and carried the basket into the private room.
Li Aiguo originally wanted to follow him back to the private room, but was stopped by Captain Bai.
"Comrade Patriot, I think you seem to be very experienced in cabin crew work."
When Li Aiguo saw the private room door closed, he could only turn his head and chat with Captain Bai.
"My father is a co-driver. I used to hear him mention things on the train. The more I listened to them, and combined with the knowledge taught in school, I naturally had more ideas."
Captain Bai praised: "I think your ideas are very good, such as using the radio to remind passengers to get on the bus in time..."
Captain Bai was determined to achieve great results in his position as train conductor. When he mentioned the crew work, he became energetic and talked endlessly.
Li Aiguo could only bury his doubts in his heart and discuss it with Captain Bai from time to time.
....
Two hours later.
There was a screeching sound of wheels scraping against the rails.
Train 131 stopped steadily at the Zhangjiazhuang platform.
Since there are seven or eight steps at the entrance to the platform, the jeep can only park in the corridor more than 100 meters away from the train.
Seven or eight railway police officers and medical staff who had been waiting for a long time lifted Zhang Yadan from the carriage and sent him to an ambulance converted from a jeep.
Seeing that Zhang Yadan would be sent to the hospital soon, Zhou Xiaomi breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his forehead that had been soaked with sweat for some time with the back of his hand, and his tense body slowly relaxed.
He turned around and reached out to grab Li Aiguo, who came to help, with a grateful face: "Driver Li, when we have another son, we will definitely name him Aiguo to express our gratitude for your help."
"...."
Is there such a way to thank someone?
"....Brother Zhou, I'm just waiting for good news about you."
Li Aiguo chuckled and turned to look at Zhang Yadan.
Zhang Yadan was lying in the back seat of the ambulance, his hair sticky on his scalp, and his complexion improved a lot.
She looked at the train that was about to leave on the platform, a cold light burst out from her eyes, and a trace of malice curled up at the corner of her mouth.
When his eyes met Li Aiguo's, pain reappeared on his face.
"Ouch, it hurts, hiss...it hurts too much."
In the past, Li Aiguo would not have noticed the abnormality.
But now he is a train driver with a [criminal investigation skill] score of 61, and his sixth sense is far beyond ordinary people.
Although the look was fleeting, when Li Aiguo turned his head, Zhang Yadan returned to his sickly look, clutching his stomach and roaring in pain.
Along the way, Li Aiguo felt something was wrong. At this time, he couldn't bear it anymore and strode towards the jeep.
Captain Bai heard the starting bell ringing and urged Li Aiguo: "Driver Li, the train is about to start. Let's get on the bus quickly."
"Wait a minute, I'll say hello to the female support group member."
Under the confused gaze of Captain Bai, Li Aiguo walked slowly to the window and waved inside.
Zhang Yadan's heart rose to his throat, making it difficult to breathe.
I originally planned to continue pretending to be sick and ignore the train driver outside.
But after all, he was her savior and helped her find a jeep.
Anyway, the plan is about to succeed. After completing the task, we can head to the south.
I would never see this train driver again, so there was no harm in saying hello.
Zhang Yadan pretended to be weak, pushed himself up, and rolled down the window with trembling hands.
"Comrade driver, I will never forget your kindness to me, Wang Yi. Even if I have to tie up the grass in this life, I still have to pay it back..."
Li Aiguo's pupils shrank slightly.
"Snapped"
Before Zhang Yadan finished speaking, Li Aiguo stretched out his arm and grabbed her collar, pulled her out of the jeep, and threw her to the ground like a wild fox.
"Ouch, what are you going to do! It hurts... it hurts... I'm going to die!"
"Xiaomi, come and help me."
There was unconcealable panic in Zhang Yadan's eyes. In pain, he subconsciously reached into his waist to pull out the Browning hidden in his trouser pocket.
Snapped!
Zhang Yadan's neck was severely stepped on by a leather work shoe, and the coldness of the shoe's sole instantly spread throughout his body.
Zhang Yadan was out of breath and her mind went blank. She instinctively struggled to reach out to her waist, but she couldn't exert any strength in her hands.
"Train driver, what are you doing? Mother, are you okay?"
Zhou Xiaomi was thanking doctor Ding Qiunan when she turned around and saw this scene. She was so frightened that she rushed over to help Zhang Yadan.
As soon as his hand grabbed Zhang Yadan's arm, Li Aiguo kicked him to the ground.
The huge pain that came from his back made him grin.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Zhou Xiaomi stared at Li Aiguo with blank eyes.
He couldn't understand.
Why did this train driver, who was so eager to help them along the way, suddenly beat his mother-in-law?
The doctors and flight attendants in the corridor were shocked by this scene.
Didn't we agree to transport the patient? Why did this rich and powerful train driver suddenly take action?
And looking at his crazy expression, it seemed as if he had a deep hatred for the patient.
Time almost stood still at this moment.
Shock, surprise, and panic appeared on everyone's faces.
The first person to react was Commander Bai.
She strode over and grabbed Li Aiguo's arm: "Comrade Patriot, what are you doing!"
"Quick, throw down that basket of duck eggs."
"What duck eggs?" Commander Bai hesitated.
"Don't ask so many questions!"
When Li Aiguo saw Zhang Yadan, he was still trying to stand up.
He kicked her again, knocked her to the ground, and took out the Browning from her waist.
He turned around and yelled at the back.
"Zhang Yazhi, quickly get that basket of duck eggs off the train."
....
