After Li Tongfu bought the tickets, the two of them entered the waiting room half an hour early. The waiting room was already crowded with passengers carrying large and small bags. Because the bags were too big, the two of them could only sneak in step by step, sweating. The stench mixed with shouts and curses from all over the world rushed towards the increasingly hot station. During such an excruciating wait, the station finally announced that the train to Xizhou had begun to check in and check in. After a moment of restlessness, everyone crowded in from all directions. When they arrived at the ticket check-in channel, the two of them were also moved forward by the crowd. The manual check-in and everyone was carrying small bags or goods were very slow. It was Yang Liufang's turn to check the tickets. The radio was already announcing "Go there" The train to Xizhou is about to leave, please hurry up and check your tickets."
After hearing the announcement, people shouted "Weng" like a chaotic honeycomb. The dark crowd squeezed forward desperately holding parcels and luggage. Some directly climbed over the platform wall and rushed to catch the train like crazy. Yang Liufang, who had just finished checking the tickets, had never seen such a posture before. He was suddenly swept up by the crowd and surged forward so that his feet could not reach the ground. The goods could not be found. "Brother Afu...Brother Afu..." Liu Fang shouted desperately, but his voice was quickly drowned in the crowd.
Liu Fang didn't know how he got on the bus. He was squeezed in between cargo and people like a "Huang Chang Ti Cou". He couldn't even turn around. He tried desperately to move his head to get some air, and used the corner of his eyes to see through the gap. There were people lying on the luggage racks. This was what rail riding was like in the 1980s, and it continued until about 2000.
So dear readers, in recent years, high-speed rail has been extending in all directions. If economic conditions permit, various modes of transportation can be chosen at will. The application of smart payment and smart ticket checking at the station has made the ride orderly, and everyone no longer has to suffer from crowded trains. We all We should thank the hard-working people in this great country for their brilliant achievements.
The green train rumbled across the tracks. A group of people got off the train as it passed Shanghai Station. The train was almost empty. However, this situation lasted for less than ten minutes, and it was instantly filled with people getting on the train. The shouts and curses in a southern and northern accent could be heard constantly, and the train was shaking as the passengers trying to squeeze in from behind were pushing it. Fortunately, Yang Liufang was smart. When he got off the car, he saw someone getting under the seat of the three-seater car. Liu Fang, who was not tall, followed suit and found a car seat that was just right for him to lie on. Just when he was feeling lucky, a big package was stuffed inside him. He came over, squeezed Liu Fang and said "ouch", and cursed a Wenzhou swear word like Yang Tongfu, "Mother, I'm sorry", and then tried hard to adjust his body to make it as comfortable as possible.
Thinking of Li Tongfu, I wonder if this strange and kind little brother finally squeezed in, and I don’t know if the two packages of goods were lost. I also think of the ticket to Xizhou in the secret pocket of my shorts. It was Brother Afu who bought it for him, and since he hadn't been able to do anything for Brother Afu, he actually felt a little guilty in his heart. Lying here now, I can only pray for Brother Afu, hoping that he can board the next train. The two will meet in Xizhou, and I will help Brother Afu sell shoes to repay his sincere help.
The train sometimes moved forward quickly and sometimes stopped to give way. The approaching train made a harsh rumbling sound, and the crowded people did not bother to shout and curse, and could only squeeze together with great effort. Liu Fang was lying underneath, leaning sideways and grabbing the brackets under the seat with both hands, leaning against the passenger's luggage and falling asleep with his head against the side wall.
This train takes two days and nights to reach Xizhou. Yang Liufang woke up due to urination and hunger. After waking up, Liu Fang suffered from back pain, leg cramps, a bloated bladder that made him incontinent, and his stomach growled with hunger. Without thinking too much, he tried to get out from the side, but he was blocked. There was something stuffed under the seat on the other side. He believed there was someone lying behind the thing. Liu Fang could only grab the beam on the seat and walk towards the aisle. Little by little, the pupa moved, and it took Liu Fang a long time to get out of all kinds of painful discomfort. Then he stood up holding on to the back of the chair and squeezed towards the bathroom at the junction of the carriages. Fortunately, there were only three rows of seats away from the bathroom. In addition, Yang Liufang didn't care about his face. If he couldn't squeeze in, he shouted, "I want to pee! I want to pee!" Need to pee!"
After finally squeezing through, the bathroom door was still closed and could not be opened no matter how hard he turned the handle. Liu Fang began to slam the door hard, and finally it opened. Four people were crowded in the bathroom. Liu Fang didn't care too much. He squeezed through the door, pulled down his shorts, and peed towards the side of the bathroom. The spray of urine wet his sandals and calves. The four people squeezed inside also squeezed into a corner as much as possible. To prevent too much splashing on the body...it took a full minute to finish urinating. At the end, Liu Fang, who was slowly and slowly, couldn't help but moaned "Oh..." instinctively.
It was impossible to wash hands. Liu Fang exited after resolving his internal emergency. It was impossible to return to the car seat where he had been lying. He could only find a nearby chair to lean on. After lying down for a long time, standing here unexpectedly It's a relief.
Now we have to solve the problem of food. In the 1980s, there were no dining cars selling food on the trains. Even if there were, the carriages full of people could not be pushed. If you want to solve the problem of food, you have to bring your own dry food and water, or get off the train and go to the platform to buy. Liu Fang leaned on the back of the car seat, unable to move, and slowly began to sweat. He didn't know whether it was due to hunger or the lack of ventilation. Later, Liu Fang, who became successful in Xizhou, realized that it was due to hunger and low blood sugar. symptom.
In the torture of hunger, the bus arrived at Xinyang Station. Xinyang Railway Station is a big station, and the train has to stop here for 10 minutes. Liu Fang squeezed out of the car with the passengers. On the platform, there were staff carrying bamboo baskets selling eggs, steamed buns and other dry food. They were also surrounded. The water is suffocating. Liu Fang finally squeezed in, took out the money that smelled like urine from the inner pocket of his shorts, bought two steamed buns and an egg, and ate them hungrily, almost biting his own hand. The jerky multigrain noodles in the steamed bun made his throat hurt. Liu Fang rolled his eyes and swallowed, not wanting to waste any residue.
After swallowing it with great difficulty, I went to buy water. The water was cold water in an iron bucket. An iron spoon was hung on the wall of the bucket. It cost 2 cents a spoon. You paid first. Liu Fang drank two spoonfuls of it before he was satisfied. When he wanted to drink more, the station announcement started urging him to get on the train. Liu Fang didn't care too much. He held the steamed bun in one hand and the egg in the other and followed the new passengers towards the car. When they got to the car, the egg's shell was also squeezed open, and the crumbs were mixed into the egg white. Liu Fang pushed the big one into the car. I peeled off the eggshell and carefully threw it at my feet. I still choked while eating the egg, and it took a long time to recover.
