Rebirth of the Southern Drift Era

Chapter 3
"Hello, I invite the three of you to eat eight-treasure porridge. Can you lend me a newspaper and let me sit down too?"

After the train continued to drive for a while, a fashionable girl walked by, her eyes were searching everywhere.

Looking at her, it seems that there is no seat, and now she is looking for a place everywhere.

At this time, she saw Liu Chang, and the vacant seat next to Liu Chang and the others, her eyes lit up, and she came over and asked in Hunan dialect.

The girl is quite beautiful, and she should be older than herself.

Seeing how she was dressed, she guessed that her family was in good condition, so she joined the team going south for some reason.

One bottle of eight-treasure porridge per person?

After hearing this, Wang Li immediately turned to look at Liu Chang, but forgot to think about how the girl knew they were from southern Hunan?

Just now he was a little dissatisfied with Liu Chang's spending three yuan to buy a newspaper and spread it underground, but now he is completely surprised.

A bottle of eight-treasure porridge on the train costs 15 yuan, and three bottles cost [-] yuan, which is enough to buy five newspapers.

If this is a business, the profit will double in a blink of an eye.

It's just borrowing a newspaper to make a small place to sit, is that an exaggeration?

After getting on the train, he was dragged by Liu Chang to find a corner to squat down, and he had never stood up much. The young Wang Li didn't know how hard it was to ride the train standing up, and he had to stay up for more than ten hours.

Not to mention a girl, even a big man can't stand it.

"No, sit down if you don't mind."

Liu Chang glanced at the girl approaching, frowned and said softly.

This place does not belong to his family, as long as someone is willing to sit, he cannot occupy it.

Although the girl who came over was from her hometown, Liu Chang didn't feel like a fellow villager, and her eyes were teary, but she was still a little wary.

He is not Wang Li and Zhang Bin, who want to express themselves when they see beautiful girls.

"If you want to be more comfortable, I suggest you add some money to change to a sleeper berth, or go to the dining room at the back, there should be a seat there."

The girl who came over didn't seem to be short of money, Liu Chang couldn't figure out how this girl could make do with others and sit in the aisle.

And he didn't really want another person he didn't know to come in on his way, so he gave a friendly reminder.

"I didn't buy a seat ticket when I got on the train, and there are no sleeper berths now, so I have to go to the next stop, and the dining car can't pass now."

After listening to Liu Chang's words, the girl replied with a smile.

She stared at Liu Chang, and saw that Liu Chang didn't react when he saw her, and smiled even more happily. This guy doesn't remember herself.

This seems to be fine.

She didn't lie about the ticket, because she bought the ticket on a whim, so it's only strange that she can get a seat.

Seeing that Liu Chang agreed to sit there, the girl couldn't help but buy three bottles of eight-treasure porridge from a cart not far away, and invited Liu Chang and the others to eat.

"Uh, you're too kind. We just got into the car after eating, and we're not hungry now."

Liu Chang couldn't refuse even if he wanted to, so he could only accept it, but he didn't eat it.

"Where are you going?"

Compared with Wang Li's restraint and Zhang Bin's silence, the new girl is much more cheerful and talkative.

"Let's go to Xiangshan, how about you?"

Maybe it was because he accepted the girl's eight-treasure porridge, or maybe it was because the girl was pretty, Wang Li was full of affection for the new girl, so he honestly told their purpose this time.

Fortunately, he spoke the native dialect, otherwise Liu Chang would have liked to gag this guy.

This guy is very delicate in terms of money, but his life is still a little pure.

When you are away from home, you have to be vigilant about many things. How can you reveal your purpose casually?

"What a coincidence? I'm going to Xiangshan too. Doesn't that mean we've always been on the way?"

Maybe it's because they're all young, maybe it's because they're all innocent, maybe it's because the new girl is pretty.

Zhang Bin also put away his low mood, together with Wang Li, the three of them chatted with Zhang Xue very quickly.

Most of the time, Zhang Xue would secretly look at Liu Chang, but Liu Chang didn't say much, just listening to the three of them chatting.

Occasionally, Liu Chang would only say a few words, and those were all irrelevant topics.

He didn't reveal a word about himself.

Instead, after chatting for a while, Liu Chang became more clear about the situation of the new girl.

After some observation, he was able to confirm that this girl was not a liar, on the contrary, she was someone who had never traveled far alone.

I really don't know where she studied before, and I don't know how her family taught her children, so she has no vigilance at all.

If Liu Chang started with bad intentions and lied to this girl, there would be no problem at all.

Although the girl said that she had graduated from technical secondary school and was assigned to be a teacher in a certain school in the city.

But as long as she is like this, she is not much different from a child, and she is also a teacher...

Liu Chang is a little worried, such a teacher can't even take care of himself, can he teach students well?
Zhang Xue is the girl's name, and she is also from southern Hunan, but her family lives in the city.

Her purpose in going to Xiangshan was also different from that of Liu Chang. This time, she was going to Xiangshan sister to play for a few days, not to work.

"Where is this? Why did the train stop?"

The train drove forward for more than an hour, and Liu Chang didn't know the exact time.

They didn't have a watch or a place to tell the time.

Then it stopped at a small station, and the people on board asked questions after seeing the train stop. Wang Li and Zhang Bin were also very curious.

"Fair market station! It's not out of our city yet, so it probably gave way to other cars."

Liu Chang stood up, glanced outside and replied, feeling a little depressed in his heart, but he didn't show it.

The fair market station is a small station in their city, and then they go to another city.

The train starting with the letter L is a slow train. When encountering various situations during operation, it has to find a small station to stop to give way to other trains.

Their current parking is not a normal stop, but temporary parking.

In addition, the speed of the car at this time is just the same, so from Hunan to Yangcheng, it takes more than an hour to travel by high-speed rail in later generations, and now it takes more than ten hours to travel.

Stop and go all the way, more than ten hours, can make people sit stupid.

"Hasn't left our city for so long? This car is really slow. I don't know when it will arrive in Yangcheng?"

Wang Li probably felt pain from sitting on the PG, so this guy also stood up and moved around.

Looking out, he sighed with a little disgust.

"It's early, it would be nice to arrive tomorrow morning."

After taking the train for a while and chatting with the pretty girl, Zhang Bin has recovered now.

His brother had told him about the train ride, so he knew about it and how long it would take.

"Then when we arrive tomorrow, shall we go directly to Xiangshan?"

This question has been on Wang Li's mind for a long time, and he has been hesitant to say it before.

He didn't know how far Xiangshan was from Yangcheng.

Without Brother Zhang Bin's contact information, can they find someone after they go there?

"Well, go directly to Xiangshan! After the time is over, let's go directly to the town and search slowly. We will definitely find the factory where Brother Zhang Bin is."

Liu Chang replied affirmatively, without any worries in his heart.

With myself here, you don't need to spend any effort to find the factory where Brother Zhang Bin is, just go there directly.

As far as I can remember, I spent 20 years in the south.

I am very familiar with Xiangshan, Binhai and Dongguan, and know every town.

What's more, I have been to the factory where Brother Zhang Bin works.

"At that time, let's go together. If you are looking for a place, my sister may know. I will ask my sister to take you to find it. She is very familiar with Xiangshan."

The three of them didn't tell Zhang Xue that Zhang Bin's wallet was stolen. The girl didn't know.

What's going on in Xiangshan, she actually doesn't know.

Just because a few people had a good chat and they were fellow villagers, Zhang Xue couldn't help but brush off her sense of presence.

After Liu Chang looked at it, he smiled and didn't say anything.
