Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 1502 Traveling by Car

The reason why the second-class carriage is one head higher than the third-class carriage is mainly because it is indeed a carriage.The third-class car is basically a gondola car with railings—it doesn’t even have seats, but the price is so low that everyone can afford it, so it has become the first choice for farmers to go out. The third-class car is always full of local farmers and them. Bring fruits, vegetables, poultry, ducks, fish and shrimps for sale in the town and various daily necessities brought back from the town.

Lin Ming was nimble and quick to get on the bus, and quickly grabbed a seat.Then he realized that the second-class car was almost full of "fake hair" with shaved hair and easy clothes. He was a man in Ming Dynasty costume, and he seemed very awkward in the middle.If I knew it earlier, I would have bought a third-class ticket.

There were a lot of people in the carriage, and the seats were not very spacious. Lin Ming was tightly squeezed in the middle by two naturalized people.Couldn't even stretch my arms.He had no choice but to endure it.

On the left of Lin Ming was a young girl. She didn't cut her hair short, she only wore two braids, and two red cloth strips were tied at the end of the braids. She was wearing a blue cloth dress, which was shamelessly exposed and wrapped in white cotton. socks for the calf.

According to Lin Ming's concept: wearing white shoes and white socks is a mourning attire, but this big girl is wearing black shoes with a red headband, obviously not.

"Wearing a red headband, but wearing white socks and showing your calf, it's really unbelievable!" Lin Ming cursed, but felt the other party's thigh tightly squeezed his leg, the warmth and elasticity of the skin made it impossible to go out for several months Master Baihu who had never tasted meat could not help but undergo some physiological changes—fortunately, Daming's clothes were loose, as long as he wasn't gifted, he wouldn't look ugly.

The girl was carrying a small yellow cloth bag, and as soon as she sat down, she took out a book from the bag to read silently. Lin Ming was curious, so he squinted his eyes to peek, but saw that it was a small book, all of which were printed in square font. There are also some crooked talismans on each square character. Lin Ming is well-informed and knows that these are red-haired characters.I just don't know why it is placed on the square characters.

Looking at the girl's appearance, she seemed to be learning to read. Lin Ming also taught the maids and concubines at home to read when he was free, but this was an "elegant way" to pass the time.In his opinion, it doesn't matter whether a woman is educated or not-his wife was illiterate when she married, and it didn't affect their love.

On the right was a thin and thin man, wearing a short blue cloth jacket with greasy twists, he leaned his head on the back of the seat and started snoring as soon as he got into the car, he leaned towards Lin Ming's shoulder with his head tilted, making him cry Not enough.

While I was in the middle of my stomach, I only heard whistles outside the window, followed by a whistle, the seat under me suddenly moved, and the train started slowly.

Many years later, it was still difficult for Lin Ming to describe the feeling he felt when he rode the "train" for the first time. The word "shock" might not be appropriate, but it was somewhat similar to his feeling when he rode a horse for the first time: novelty and fear at the same time.The locomotive rumbled, and the front of the car sprayed out thick black smoke, dragging the carriages and galloping across the high fields.The slightly chilly wind in winter blows on the face, but it feels refreshing.

The track from Bopu to Dongmen City is laid along the Wenlan River. After the comprehensive reconstruction project of the Wenlan River, which took almost five years to complete, this river, which originally had a huge difference in water level during the wet and dry seasons, has been replaced by a canal. Relying on the sluices, dams, diversion canals, reservoirs and wind and steam pumps along the way, the Wenlan River can roughly maintain a certain water level all year round. In addition to ensuring the stable power generation of hydropower stations, it is also used to supply daily life along the river. Water for industrial and agricultural production can also satisfy river transportation to a certain extent.The river is sparkling, and the slope protection of the embankment is made of stones, and turf has grown on it-planting trees is easy to damage the river embankment, so the trees are planted under the slope protection.

Because the planners of Lingao Construction Corporation intend to set the riverside as a "landscape belt" as a place for rest and entertainment.Except for the industrial area and the wharf area, landscape design has been carried out on both sides of the river. Not only are there flowers and trees, but also a small number of pavilions and pavilions. Inland river tugboats with shallow drafts are dragging shoebox-like canal barges slowly. , looks like a bonsai.

Lin Ming had never been to Lingao, so he naturally didn't know what Wenlan River was like in the past.But he can still see that the river has been rehabilitated.

"I didn't expect the Kun thief to have a bit of elegance." Looking at the scenery along the river, Lin Ming secretly admired in his heart—naturally, there are countless attractions in Guangzhou, and the scenery is a hundred times better than this place. However, the buildings along the way are regular and the roads The flatness of the mountains and the cleanliness of the village streets are also the difference between clouds and mud.It's a pity that the water surface is muddy, and there are still a lot of garbage floating on it, which is not a clean stream at all.

When the train passed the industrial area, the leisure and elegance on the river bank disappeared completely. The huge red brick houses were covered with black soot, and the steel and ceramic pipes were always interlaced. From time to time, there were loud crashing sounds and Rumbling roar.There are so many chimneys here that the sky is almost obscured by thick black and white smoke.On the yard by the river are piles of coal and coal ash like hills, and countless sacks of different sizes, wooden barrels, clay pots and wooden boxes are piled up in huge piles, covered with reed mats.Gundam's iron crane panted white steam, and loaded the goods onto the barges on the river-there were cinders and various garbage floating on the water.

Before Lin Ming had time to feel it, a strong smell of smoke mixed with sour and foul smell rushed into his nostrils, choking him to cough again and again, and hastily covered his nose.I cursed secretly in my heart that these thieves are so spoiling the scenery!
The train started and stopped, and I heard a few places during the process. Everywhere I went, a thin girl in a blue uniform and a yellow cloth bag walked along the passage and called the name of the station to remind people who arrived at the station to get off. Some people got off and others got on. , the compartment is always full.

Just as he was complaining, the train gradually slowed down. Lin Ming saw that the houses on the side of the road were getting denser and the shops were also increasing. He knew that he had probably reached the town. Sure enough, the woman on the train came and shouted: "Dongmen City has arrived!"

This was a great place to go, more than half of the people got out of the carriage, and Lin Ming got out of the car amidst the crowd.

Lin Ming followed the crowd out of Dongmen Railway Station.When you leave the station, you will find a paved and flat field with many carriages, carts, and rickshaws parked. There are also many vendors, guys, and laborers gathered around, making it very lively.Seeing a large number of passengers pouring out of the station, a group of people who had been squatting and chatting, and dozed off all became refreshed, and came up to solicit business one after another.

Lin Ming carried his small package on his back, and officially stepped into this long-awaited "den of thieves".He has long been able to understand that Dongmen City is the largest and most prosperous town in Lingao, and the most important thing is that it is within easy reach of the "Bairen City", the old den of the thieves, and many "real Kuns" will be in Dongmen City Therefore, it is the most well-informed place about the Kun thief.

My sister-in-law is likely to be trapped in Bairen City, and as long as I lurk in Dongmen City, it will be much more convenient for me to inquire about news or rescue him.

He was thinking about it, and the peddlers in the square had come to solicit business: "Sir, do you want fruit? Fresh Australian pears cost five cents a catty!", "Australian ice cream, new fruit flavor!", " Staying at the hotel, the Ministry of Commerce has rated it as a Samsung hotel. The bedding in the guest room is changed every guest. There are no fleas or bugs! If you are tired, there is a little girl massage - there is a yellow ticket!", "Go to the county seat? One from the county seat! Come on Just take the car and leave—","The cheap inn offers a discount, pay one month's room fee in advance and stay for one and a half months!"

Amidst the noise, Lin Ming subconsciously protected his package: Car and boat docks, as usual, are places where all kinds of bad guys haunt: robbers, pickpockets, and crooks all like to do business in such lively places. Although he didn't bring much money, if he really wanted It's not easy to mess up here if you get caught by a thief.

However, although there are many people here, there are no chaos. The shopkeepers and traders only shout, but no one comes here.Lin Ming squeezed through a passage and found out the reason when he came out of the crowd.In the center of the square was a wooden platform, on which was a door frame-shaped shelf, on which hung three or four corpses of varying degrees of shriveling, slowly dangling.Several bloody prisoners who had been whipped were tied with iron chains to the stakes at the four corners.No matter the dead or the living, there are signs written in ink around their necks, which probably indicate crimes.Seven or eight gangsters stood around with their chests and stomachs folded, watching the scene on the square.

"I heard that the kun thieves' behavior is a method of legalism, it really is." Lin Ming secretly became alarmed, knowing that this is a place where he can never make a mistake, so he couldn't help but silently recite all the "kun thieves' rules" in his heart so as not to forget Violated the "law of Kun".

Lin Ming quickened his pace and quickly left the square in front of the station.He didn't know much about Dongmen City, so he just strolled along the street.I was planning to find a place to live and settle down first, and then I went to see where there were jobs.

Unlike what he imagined, Lin Baihu did not see the crowded booths and disordered goods in his impression.On both sides of the tidy stone pavement are lined with shopfronts, and the shop is full of people and bustling.The streets are also wider than those in Guangzhou.In the middle is the driveway, only carriages, carts, rickshaws and livestock are allowed to pass, and the raised roads on both sides are where pedestrians walk.

Lin Ming was walking on the sidewalk. Although he deliberately kept a low profile and did not want to attract attention, there were so many new things in Dongmen City that he couldn't help but look around.Whether it is street lamps, zebra crossings, garbage baskets or large glass windows, they all attracted him to stop and watch.Before I knew it, I walked near the head office of the cooperative.

The head office of the cooperative is not only the largest in size among the surrounding buildings, but also has a decorative architectural style that is completely different from the surrounding buildings. Even if Lin Ming often goes in and out of Fandi like this, people who have seen European buildings will instantly feel a great impact .Seeing the raised glass dome in the middle of the building, he couldn't help being stunned.
