The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 595: At a critical moment, the train man Li Aiguo appears
Woo hoo hoo. Eat like crazy, eat like crazy, eat like crazy
Weighing thousands of tons, under the influence of gravity, Train No. 131 ran at high speed along the black rails like a wild horse, getting faster and faster.

Captain Bai was sorting out the list of passengers who needed to buy tickets in the conductor's room.

Ever since the water delivery worker "Lao Bie" was arrested by the Railway Wind Office last year, the locomotive section has formulated clear rules and regulations for the gray area of ​​train ticket replacement.

According to the new system, crew members are strictly prohibited from bringing passengers on board. Even if they are relatives or employees from other sections of the railway, they need to report to the train conductor.

Any violation of discipline will result in direct expulsion.

After the implementation of this system, it immediately produced an immediate effect. The cases of private rides were greatly reduced, and the amount of money distributed to all flight attendants increased by 20% that month.

Of course, strict rules and regulations cannot be achieved without strict implementation, so Captain Bai has an even greater responsibility.

Fortunately, the 131 crew is a nationally advanced crew, and the crew members have a relatively high level of ideological quality. After a simple check, Captain Bai did not find any problems.

She stood up and prepared to inspect the carriage. Her eyes glanced out the window and the rapidly receding fields outside caught her attention.

"Isn't the train going too fast? This is a long downhill section. What's wrong with driver Li?"

The train runs on familiar sections, and the speed of each section is fixed.

In this way, we can save coal, ensure safety, and deliver passengers to their destination on time.

Captain Bai felt that something was wrong.

At this time, the water deliveryman hurried over, opened the door and whispered: "Captain, there is an accident, there is a problem with the train brakes."

These words were like a hammer hitting Captain Bai's heart.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself.

"what happened?"

"A few passengers were smoking at the connection of the tenth carriage, and saw sparks bursting out from under the carriage through the crack in the door."

"Take me to have a look quickly." Captain Bai's heart skipped a beat.

Captain Bai followed the water delivery man to the connection of the tenth carriage, which was already surrounded by passengers.

The passengers were all looking out through the crack at the bottom of the door.

"It's mad, there must be something wrong with the train."

"What should I do? I brought two kilograms of glutinous rice cakes from the pastry shop in Beijing for my mother, and she is still waiting for me at home."

"I came to Tianjin this time to solve the machine failure of the Tianjin Machinery Factory. If I can't get there, the production of the machinery factory will definitely be affected."

A little girl took her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I'm scared."

"Don't be afraid, dear child. The uncles on the train will definitely be able to fix the problem." The mother picked up the little girl and tried her best to comfort her, even though her heart was in her throat.

Although these passengers did not know much about trains, they knew that it was not normal for train wheels to catch fire.

There was worry on their faces and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

The white conductor strode forward and said in a loud voice: "Dear passengers, please don't worry. We have learned that the train has broken down. We have sent people to check the problem and ensure that all passengers can be safely transported to their destinations."

As soon as these words were spoken, the passengers breathed a sigh of relief and the atmosphere eased a lot.

The water deliveryman quietly pulled the corner of Captain Bai's clothes and whispered, "Captain Bai, the train is going so fast, how can we send anyone out?"

"Stop talking! The most important thing now is to calm the passengers and prevent panic from spreading." Captain Bai scolded the water delivery man.

At this time, Zhang Yazhi ran over from the rear carriage in a hurry. Seeing so many people gathered at the connection between the carriages, she opened her mouth and closed it again.

Zhang Yazhi pulled the conductor aside and whispered in her ear, "Sparks are coming out from the bottom of the 11th, 12th, and 13th carriages. The passengers have noticed it now. I'll arrange for the attendant on duty to try to calm the customers."

"Well done, Comrade Zhang Yazhi. Driver Li must have noticed the anomaly by now. They will definitely find a way to eliminate the danger. What we need to do now is to maintain order in the carriage."

The train captain said in a deep voice: "Call up the off-duty crew members right now and ask them to help maintain order."

"Yes!"

Looking at Zhang Yazhi's figure moving through the crowd, Captain Bai sighed helplessly.

In this situation, even Li Dache couldn't climb out from the front of the car to eliminate the danger.

She just hoped that Train No. 131 would be lucky enough to make it through the long downhill section smoothly.

The news of the fire on the train quickly spread throughout the train.

Thanks to the flight attendant's explanation, most passengers sat quietly in their seats.

But Zhao Yazhi soon ran into trouble.

At the connection of the eleventh carriage, a passenger tried to pry open the door with a steel rod.

When Zhao Yazhi arrived, the gap in the door had been pried out of shape, and it was making noises as the train was shaking violently.

"Stop!" Zhao Yazhi rushed over and grabbed the steel rod to stop him, while asking someone to notify the driver Bai.

The passenger was a young man wearing a peaked cap. When he was stopped, he immediately became angry.

"What are you doing! I'm trying to save people, you know? The train is about to overturn. If you don't jump off the train, it will be too late."

The man in the peaked cap was very strong. Zhao Yazhi had to use all her strength to hold the steel rod with both hands. She barely supported herself and explained, "Comrade, our conductor Bai has just notified that someone has gone out to inspect it. It won't take long for the train's fault to be eliminated."

"Little girl, you think I'm an old-fashioned guy!"

The man in the baseball cap grabbed the steel rod and confronted Zhao Yazhi, "My distant uncle is an employee of the locomotive depot. He told me a lot about what happened on the train. Now the speed is so high, who dares to climb out of the carriage!"

Zhao Yazhi didn't expect that the man in the baseball cap knew all these things, and she didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

But she knew that it would be extremely dangerous if the car door was pried open, so she still held on to the steel rod tightly.

The small body burst out with huge strength at this moment.

The man in the peaked cap pulled the steel bar a few times but failed to move it. He immediately became angry and shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone come here, these train attendants are deceiving us. If we don't find a way to get out, the train will overturn and we will all die!"

The thunder-like sound masked the noise at the connection, and the word "death" made the passengers who were watching tremble with fear.

At that time, two young passengers came over and wanted to help.

"Listen to my explanation. You must not open the car door now. The car is going too fast."

Zhao Yazhi explained loudly, but under the instigation of the man in the baseball cap, the two young men didn't listen to her at all and rolled up their sleeves and walked forward.

"Comrade flight attendant, we can't control others, but we can't just sit here and wait for death."

"Please move aside. If you delay us from opening the door, don't blame us for being rude."

The remaining passengers stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Although they were willing to believe that the flight attendants were doing it for their own good.

However, at such a high speed, who would dare to risk climbing out of the car to repair the problem?

No matter how strong Zhao Yazhi is, she is just a lesbian after all.

The carriage was shaking, and there were clanging noises, and for a moment the atmosphere at the connection between the carriages was extremely tense.

With the help of the two young men, the steel rod was taken out of his hand and stuffed back into the door frame.

Seeing that the man in the baseball cap was about to attack again, Zhao Yazhi rushed forward and hugged the man in the baseball cap from behind.

"Comrade, please be sober. The car is going at least 80 or 90 mph. If you jump out, the consequences will be disastrous."

The man in the baseball cap didn't expect that Zhao Yazhi was still not giving up. He picked up his fist as big as a sandbag and was about to knock her down.

"What are you doing!"

After receiving the notification, Captain Bai rushed over with train attendants Wang and Zhang, and just happened to see this scene.

The white conductor roared and stopped the man in the baseball cap.

The two conductors were experienced and knew that if Lei Ting acted, he would not be able to subdue these people. They drew their pistols without any hesitation and pointed the black muzzles at the man in the baseball cap and the two young men.

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, the man in the baseball cap, who had been so aggressive just now, immediately loosened his fist and raised his hands obediently.

Captain Bai saw so many passengers gathered around, and they were all staring at the attendant with questioning eyes.

She realized that if she continued to make a fuss, it would definitely cause chaos.

Captain Bai ordered conductors Zhang and Wang to restrain the three men and take them to the camping car.

The man in the peaked cap had his arm held down, and knowing that things were not going well, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "We have all been deceived by the flight attendants. They can't possibly save us. If you don't want to die, come and help us.

Let's pry open the car door and jump out, maybe there's still a chance of survival."

After the later passengers figured out the reason, they immediately started pointing fingers.

"Yeah, the train is going so fast, there's no way anyone could save us."

"We might as well listen to this guy and jump out of the car."

"These flight attendants are going too far."

Upon hearing this, Captain Bai signaled the two train police officers to stay alert, looked at the passengers and explained, "The speed is too high now. If you jump out of the train, you will be rolled under the wheels."

"Don't listen to her, she's just trying to scare us, let's get started!" The man in the baseball cap raised his head from the flight attendant's hands.

Bang, bang, he was hit by two electric shocks, but the passengers had already been incited.

Although the passengers believed what the man in the baseball cap said, they also trusted the flight attendants and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Captain Bai realized that if things continued like this, things would get worse and worse.

Now passengers are rushing over from other carriages. If their lives are threatened, the entire carriage will become a bomb.

Zhao Yazhi and the flight attendants also turned pale. They knew that weak words could no longer ease the passengers' emotions.

The atmosphere in the carriage was extremely tense and could explode at any time.

At this moment.

A figure was hanging upside down on the car door glass, holding the door railing tightly with both hands, and a tough face appeared outside the glass.

The face saw the person inside staring at him and made a grimace.

"It's Driver Li!" After Zhao Yazhi recognized him, her heart dropped to the ground instantly, "Captain, Driver Li is outside, he is here to save us."

Captain Bai turned his head and when he saw Li Aiguo, he suddenly relaxed.

When the passengers saw someone outside, they couldn't believe it at first. After rubbing their eyes and making sure they were not seeing things, they all gasped.

"Oh my god, that person is hanging on the roof of the car, he won't fall off, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! They are here to rescue us."

"Pah, pah, pah! Look at my stinky mouth, I really deserve a slap."

The atmosphere in the carriage became heated, but Li Aiguo, who was hanging outside the train, felt a little uncomfortable. He walked along the roof and came to the connection of the faulty carriage with difficulty. He found that in order to troubleshoot the fault, he had to find a way to jump to the connection of the carriage.

There is no place to climb on the train, but fortunately Li Aiguo has practiced this before.

He hung upside down, grabbed the handrail of the car door, then became one with his horse, straightened his back, and relied on the strength of his arms and waist to flip from the roof to the connection at the rear of the car.

Clap clap clap!

It was the first time for the passengers at the connection between the carriages to see such skillful moves, and they couldn't help but applaud.

The little girl who had just been crying in her mother's arms also clapped her hands loudly.

"Mom, look at what that uncle is doing, he's so awesome."

"Girl, he is the railway uncle who came to save us."

When Li Aiguo turned over just now, Captain Bai and Zhao Yazhi's hearts were in their throats.

As railway workers who work on trains all year round, no one knows better than them how difficult it is to perform such movements at high speeds.

Seeing Li Aiguo's figure falling, the two of them leaned to the window and looked down. They saw that strong big hand was tightly holding the car door armrest, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

With driver Li, we’re safe this time!

The man in the peaked cap was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After he came to his senses, he raised his hands and said, "Comrade flight attendant, I misunderstood you. You can take me away now."

Captain Bai could understand the man in the baseball cap's behavior.

But thinking of the danger just now, he decided to take the man in the baseball cap and the other two young men back to the camper first.

After the man in the peaked cap and the two young men were taken away, Captain Bai squatted beside the door crack, anxiously waiting for Li Aiguo to fix the problem.

Eat, eat, eat
Enduring the knife-like cold wind, Li Aiguo pushed his safety shoes against the edge of the joint a few times. Feeling the force point under his feet, he grabbed the edge of the car with one hand and pushed back hard.

He jumped nimbly to the connection between the carriages and completed the dangerous crossing without any danger.

Just one glance and I was stunned.

I saw a man wearing a black cotton jacket and a felt hat riding on the connecting rod at the connection of the carriages.

He put one foot on the end plate of the carriage of the first vehicle and the other foot on the corner plug door of the air duct, directly stepping on the corner plug door to close it.

Good man, it was you who caused the malfunction!
"Who are you and what are you doing here!" Although Li Aiguo was filled with anger, he tried his best to suppress his emotions at this time.

He was afraid that he would scare the man and cause him to fall off the connection accidentally and be crushed into a pulp by the wheels.

He asked in his best possible calm tone now.

"Ah, I don't have money to buy a ticket, and I thought it was a nice place, so I just hung it here." The man didn't expect someone to suddenly appear next to him. After being startled, he finally reacted.

The cotton jacket he was wearing was tattered, and his submissive attitude made him look like any other member of the community nearby.

He did explain that he was a member of the surrounding community and that he had to hitchhike because he had no money to buy a ticket.

"Can you please not hand me over to the police? I have no money."

"It's okay if you don't have money to buy a ticket. You can hang here for now. But can you help me turn up the valve? Otherwise, we'll flip over soon."

Li Aiguo pretended not to notice anything and pointed to the corner door under his feet.

"Of course, don't worry, don't worry." The man in the black cotton jacket breathed a sigh of relief, smiled implicitly, and stretched out his hand to pull up the corner door.

With a "swish" sound, the brake air duct was opened, ventilation in the carriage was restored, the brakes in the carriage were restored, and the speed of the train dropped sharply.

The driver, Bai, also felt it at the connection point of the carriages, and clapped his hands and said, "Driver Li did it, we are saved this time!"

The passengers raised their hands and applauded again, this applause was for the train driver who was not afraid of danger.

"I've taken care of one car, and there's one left. I'm going to be a train man this time."

When Li Aiguo saw that sparks were still hanging from the rear wheels, he realized that there was a closed angle valve at the rear, which prevented the brake gas from passing through the valve and being transported to the rear compartment.

He reminded the black cotton jacket not to fall off, then he leaned sideways and climbed up through the car door.

With the experience this time, Li Aiguo won’t have to work so hard.

He lit a cigarette, took a puff, then crouched and walked slowly to the connection between the carriages. He stuck his head out and shouted at the connection: "Friends who bought tickets downstairs, don't hide. I see you."

Woo woo woo. Eat, eat, eat. When the words fall off, only the monotonous and boring sound of the train's wheels hitting the rails can be heard.

There seemed to be no one downstairs, but Li Aiguo was not in a hurry. He half-knelt there and smoked comfortably.

A moment later, a head popped out from the side of the carriage connection.

This man was about the same age as Hei Mian'ao. He was wearing a dirty sheepskin coat, a white towel wrapped around his head, and holding a whip in his hand. He looked like a shepherd from northern Shaanxi.

Good guy, play COSPLAY.

No need to ask.

Another poor member who claimed he couldn't afford a ticket.

After the routine inquiry, Li Aiguo shouted to Bai Jinfa: "Fellow villager, pull up the valve under your feet, or we will overturn the car."

White Towel was obviously stunned for a moment. Li Aiguo shouted again at the top of his voice, and White Towel then retracted his head.

Hiss. Huh. While he was taking a puff of cigarette, with a "swish" sound, the brake air duct was opened.

The speed dropped again.

At this time, the exhaust pipe of the entire train was unobstructed.

Seeing the changes on the barometer, Huang Jing, who was in the driver's room, cheered, "Master, he did it!"

"Driver Li is truly amazing, almost as good as the former Railway Guerrillas." Liu Qingquan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Zheng rubbed his hands with excitement: "Before liberation, there were knights who specialized in helping the poor and the weak. Driver Li has saved so many people that he can also be called a knight.

We drive trains, so we should call driver Li the Train Man!"

Huang Jing and Lao Zheng both thought this was a good name.

In the past, Li Aiguo liked to call his comrades in the locomotive depot and the driver team "train people".

Then Li Aiguo should be the Train Man.

Under the action of air pressure, the brake shoes of the wheels began to lock, and the wheels and rails rubbed against each other, producing sparks.

After running for more than ten miles, Train 131 finally stopped before arriving at Huangcun Station.

With a wheeze and a final violent exhaust, the train came to a steady stop on solid ground.

Lao Zheng opened the side door, jumped out from the front of the car, and ran towards Li Aiguo quickly.

Li Aiguo had just fallen from the top of the carriage and was picked up by him before he could react.

"Driver Li, the train man!"

When the passengers leaning on the car windows heard this name, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Several young passengers cheered: "This train driver is a train man, otherwise how could he fly over rooftops and walls!"

"Trainman!"

"Trainman!"

"Trainman!"

The cheers resounded through the sky, breaking through the layers of dark clouds and echoing in the snow.

"Train Man" Li Aiguo was a little confused at the time.

If you think about it carefully, you’d think this title is pretty good.

It would be nice if I could have some super powers, like being able to transform into a train and hit anyone I catch, being invincible. I get excited just thinking about it.

At this time, the train compartment door opened and Captain Bai got off the train with the conductor.

She held Li Aiguo's hands tightly with both of her hands and said, "Driver Li, this time it's all thanks to you."

"This is what I'm supposed to do as a train driver."

Li Aiguo seemed to remember something and pointed to the two joints of the carriages.

"There are two people hiding in there. Let's arrest them first."

When the train attendants heard that someone was hanging on a moving train and that it had affected the train's brakes, they were immediately filled with anger.

When they rushed over, the man in the black cotton jacket and white headscarf had already jumped down from the connection between the carriages.

They crossed the track and were about to escape into the nearby fields.

"Stop! If you dare to move one more step, we will shoot!"

The conductor chased after him, and after two warnings failed, he decisively pulled out his pistol.

How can a person be faster than a bullet? !

The two guys knelt down on the ground obediently, raised their hands and said: "Leader, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I am a member who has no money to buy a ticket, and I didn't know I would get into big trouble. Please let me go this time.

I have parents, children and a wife to take care of. Just treat us like a piece of shit and let us go."

The two of them cried and one of them even squeezed out a few tears.

The two gave wonderful performances, vividly showing the members' honesty, simplicity, and timidity in the face of the railway police.

The passengers who were watching the scene immediately softened their hearts and said, "Leader, they are just pitiful people. Although they made a big mistake, they just need to be criticized."

"Yes, the members are having a hard time right now, there's no need to make a big deal out of it."

"The members don't know the rules, so let's not bother with them."

The train conductor Bai was also moved by their words. He walked up to Li Aiguo and said, "Driver Li, I think we should let the railway police station at the next station handle this matter. We can just criticize them then."

"Members." Li Aiguo suddenly turned around, pointed to the bottom of the connection, and said, "Brother Zhang, Brother Wang, please go down under the carriage and see if there is anything."

Hearing this, two conductors walked over quickly, bent down and poked their heads under the train.

"Hey, there really is a bag."

The two men carried out two large bags from the connection.

The bag was a sack, it looked dirty, was bulging with stuff, and was very heavy to carry.

Li Aiguo took the bag and threw it in front of the two men.

"This is your stuff, open it."
