Chapter 45 Sickness

The train that Shen Guanglin returned to the capital was a mixed passenger and freight train, a train with several passenger cars and several freight cars.

Before leaving, Su Youpeng had already telegraphed and called Shunzi and the others, and asked them to organize people to pick up the goods at the train station.

Communication in this era is quite inconvenient. Xiangjiang already has pagers, and Yangcheng and Shencheng are also brewing.

Fortunately, Li Rong had a phone at home, and she often went home.

It is also convenient for her to transmit information.

The return trip is on.

The Z-start train from Beijing to Yangcheng was already very slow, and it took a full 48 hours.

The train back to the capital was even slower, and it was estimated that it would take more than three days.

However, the treatment that Shen Guanglin received this time was not bad, he slept softly, and he could take a good rest on the road.

The soft sleeper is better than the hard sleeper in that there are only four positions, the upper and lower bunks, and there are box doors for better privacy.

Since Yangcheng is the starting station, passengers all get on the bus at this station.

There was another little girl who got on the bus with Shen Guanglin, besides a young man in his 30s and a middle-aged man with eyes.

With the configuration of three men and one woman, someone can finally relieve the boredom.

old girl
wait a minute

Let's get bored

Guess that

my heart

Who are you pretending to be?
There is no relief from boredom, and the girl doesn't speak at all.

Shen Guanglin is the lower bunk, she is the upper bunk, and the two have zero communication.

After the girl came in, she sat down on Shen Guanglin's bed with her head down, holding a copy of "Story Meeting" in her hand, and read it very seriously.

Shen Guanglin ignored her, stuffed his suitcase under the bed, and prepared to sleep for a while. He had a hangover, and his physical condition was a little bad, and he seemed to be a little unaccustomed to the environment.

These days when he came to Shencheng and Xiangjiang, he always felt opaque, as if there was sweat on his body, and he always felt greasy and uncomfortable.

However, I finally returned to the capital. After arriving in the capital, I took a good bath in the big bath and rubbed it. It is estimated that my whole body will feel comfortable.

In the soft sleeper carriage, Shen Guanglin was not afraid of thieves.

In this era, sleeping in a sleeper is all based on a letter of introduction, which is almost an alternative real-name system. If a thief has such great energy, what would be a thief.

Moreover, Shen Guanglin had no money left, only a few hundred dollars left for road expenses, and all the other money was exchanged for goods and put into the carriage of the truck.

Shen Guanglin was lying there reading a book, and he could still see the girl's profile.

Not pretty.

This girl seems to be an honest person, neither ugly nor handsome, not Shen Guanglin's dish, but still very popular with the other two men.

They wanted to talk to the girl several times, but the girl's head never lifted, maybe "Story Meeting" was too good-looking.

The car started slowly.

The scenery outside is receding.

Sleeper cars are just that good and don't feel crowded.

If you are in a hard-seat car, going to the toilet is a kind of torture. During the holiday season, even the toilet is full of people. When you go to the toilet, you can only ask the people inside to come out first.

If not, you have to call the conductor to come and clear the field, or you won't be able to use the toilet.

But no matter how crowded the hard seat is, it can't stop the cart from the salesperson.

The melon seeds and peanuts are big chicken legs, and the instant noodles and sausages have boiled water.

The mineral water has not yet been developed in this season, and the mountain spring of the peasant woman is still a little salty.

drive.

You can't travel by plane. Long-distance travel like this is one word, and that is "boiled".

In order to survive this journey, Shen Guanglin bought several books before departure, including science and technology and social science books, all in English.

In Xiangjiang, Shen Guanglin did see a lot of banned books.

In Hong Kong, there are quite a few books of this kind, and they sell well.

In fact, Shen Guanglin did not like to read books.

The media information before crossing the road is too developed, where do people still have the heart to read books, they just read the 65-page PPT.

Not to mention reading other books, just reading novels and encountering long sentences is very uncomfortable.

Moreover, in order to take care of the reader's reading habits, the sentences need to be as short as possible and difficult to understand.

Going forward, paragraphs also need to be as short as possible, because the mobile phone screen is so big, everything is to make it easier to read on a mobile phone.

Articles of a few hundred words are really tiring to look at.

However, looking at the paper version of the scientific and technological literature is also very tiring. Shen Guanglin can't read it anymore after reading it for a while. It's uncomfortable to lie down all the time, and his neck can't stand it.

Really boring, Shen Guanglin took out the lighter he bought in Xiangjiang to play with.

That's right, he bought himself the famous brand of lighters from Citi, ZIPO, translated by Xiangjiang as "Zippo Lighter".

There are many god translations of Xiangjiang, and some are also popular in the mainland.

For example, "Red Delicious Apple" originally meant "delicious red apple", but it was translated as "snake fruit" in Xiangjiang. Later, the word spread to the mainland, and the meaning evolved into imported apples are snake fruit, domestic apples. It's Apple.

Similar to "Cherries", it originally means "cherries", but Xiangjiang translated it into "cherries", and after it spread back, imported cherries were called cherries, and domestic cherries were called cherries.

"Plum" originally meant "plum", but they transliterated it as "Bulin", which turned out to be a lot more foreign, and black Blind also cheated a lot of people.

In addition to this, there are some buzzwords, such as poor guy fluttering on the street, smart fashion, modern modern, Carnival carnival.

In the past, when Shen Guanglin was learning English, he had watched many stories about the translation of the God of Hong Kong, such as the inspirational movie "The Shawshank Redemption", the original English text is "The Shawshank Redemption".

Xiangjiang even translated it into "Stimulating 1995" and "Moon Black Wind High". Those who didn't know it thought it was a salty and wet film.

Since its invention in 1932, the Zippo lighter has become a popular metal lighter around the world, and it was also standard for Citigroup soldiers during World War II.

The trophies brought back by many veterans who participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea are lighters and Parker pens of this brand.

In love, Shen Guanglin bought several lighters and several bottles of kerosene in one go. He didn't plan to give it away, after all, this thing is also a good collectible for himself.

Of course, there are also imitation lighters in China, but unfortunately, everyone pays more attention to practical performance, but ignores the artistic value.

Shen Guanglin can play a lot of cool tricks of lighters, and he will be able to swim a dragon, instantly, rekindle, and travel around a little time.

After a while, I saw a lighter flying up and down in my hand, like a butterfly wearing a flower.

The girl's attention is not here, she is still reading, and the flowers can be seen in a thin "Story Meeting", but the two men opposite are stunned.

"Comrade, whether your lighter is for sale or not, I want to buy one too. Can you teach me how to play by the way? How did you play so slippery?"

The young man opposite finally couldn't help it anymore.

After all, men like to play with fire, and boys who don't like to play with fire are rare.

Shen Guanglin bought a whole set of collector's edition Zippo lighters, but he also had ordinary ones, just the ones he used casually.

It's fate to meet, so it's okay to sell him one.

"35 one." Really didn't make any money.

This lighter was bought by Shen Guanglin for 30 yuan from Zhongying Street. It is a version of Fusang, which is especially in line with the aesthetics of Asians.

"It's too expensive for you. If it's ten dollars, I'll take one."

Haggling is a good tradition, but Shen Guanglin couldn't accept it.

He didn't want to respond.

"We are model workers who went to Beijing to receive awards. Don't try to trick us."

The young man expressed his dissatisfaction and hoped that Shen Guanglin would make a step back.

Shen Guanglin said, "I wouldn't sell lighters like this, do what you think."

"Otherwise, transfer this to me, it's all used, and the discount price." The guy didn't want to give up, but he didn't want to continue to increase the price.

Interesting, a little cunning in simplicity, the guy is going to be very good.

Stop talking about lighters.

……

"Comrade, are you also going to the capital?" the man opposite then asked.

"Yes, I am also going to the capital."

As long as you don't talk about buying a lighter for ten yuan, you can also be a temporary friend on the next journey.

"Comrade, are you also here to receive the commendation?"

When it comes to going to Beijing, the young guys are very excited, for fear that others will not know what they are going to do.

Unfortunately, Shen Guanglin was not interested in what they were going to do in the capital: "No, I go to work in the capital, and I work there."

"Then what do you do?"

"I sell lighters."

"Oh, no wonder it's so good, sell it to me for 10 yuan, and make less money."

……

When the lunch seller came, Shen Guanglin bought a train meal to avoid the embarrassment of continuing to chat.

The first day was uneventful.

Shen Guanglin bought food and drink on the train, and the lunch box on the train was not as bad as he imagined.

The three chatted happily.

Basically, the young man was chatting there, and Shen Guanglin didn't reveal any information, but Shen Guanglin already knew all about the young man's home address, family situation, and income.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Shen Guanglin had an accident.

One day and one night have passed, and the train has just passed Nanyue and has not reached Changsha City.

She slept very late at night, and Shen Guanglin woke up feeling weak all night.

His arms and legs were sore, his body was dull, and his head was foggy, as if a big rock was hitting his brain, and he felt dizzy.

It's not the flu.

To self-diagnose, touch the forehead, it is indeed a little hot.

Going out, the biggest fear is getting sick during the journey.

Shen Guanglin bought a lot of cosmetics, but he didn't buy medicine.

Human affection is warm and cold, all depend on oneself.

Shen Guanglin dragged his exhausted body to the conductor. Fortunately, they had antipyretics.

A huge pill, I don't know how long the warranty period is, so I swallowed it reluctantly.

The effect is still very obvious, the fever has not subsided, but the person is sleepy, and the hypnotic effect is excellent.
