Chapter 158： rampant

Zheng Shan and Zheng Jianguo both lived on the lower floor, and people walked by carrying large and small bags from time to time outside the door.

This train stayed in the capital for a long time, and it took about half an hour to start.

"Dad, go to sleep for a while." Zheng Shan comforted his father when he looked at him a little excited.

Zheng Jianguo waved his hand and said, "What's the matter? I think that when your father and I hadn't slept for three days and three nights, I went to work in the fields and scrambled to harvest food, and it was all right."

"Dad, you're forty-seven this year, and you thought you were young." Zheng Shan slapped him unceremoniously.

"Hey, you bastard, what's wrong? I don't look down on your father and me now." Zheng Jianguo scolded with a smile.

Zheng Shan could see that since Dad got on the train, his mental state was not quite right. It seemed that something that had been suppressed for a long time was slowly released.

"I want you to rest early. At night our grandfather changes shifts to sleep, otherwise no one will sleep well." Zheng Shan can only say that.

Zheng Shan has some understanding of the train situation in this era. Sometimes, he would say something when chatting with the teachers in the office or with people like Liu Yi.

Especially when some people knew that Zheng Shan was going to take the train to his hometown, they specifically warned him about this.

The train is very chaotic, stealing is the norm, and there are not a few robbers.

Let's put it this way, this year there are almost 20 million unemployed youths across the country, which is a huge number.

What concept is this?

Unemployment means no income and nowhere to go. They can only get together, report to the group to keep warm, and find some way to get money.

If you don't have a formal job and want to make money, what is the most convenient?

Of course, theft, robbery to the convenience.

Over time, these people naturally become gangsters, pickpockets, extortion, robbery, these are their means of making a living.

Sometimes there are even more thieves than passengers on a train.

So Zheng Shan's worries are not unreasonable, especially since they are dressed so well and live in such a soft sleeper box, they can easily become a thorn in the eyes of others.

Zheng Jianguo, like Zheng Shan, wanted to know more about this, so he didn't say anything more when he heard the words, narrowed his eyes, and began to prepare for sleep.

Zheng Shan was a little relieved when he saw that his father had begun to rest. If it continued like this, he was afraid that there would be problems with his father's body.

"Can you be more honest?" Zheng Shan shouted towards the top.

The fifth man did not stop at all in the upper bunk.

"You don't sleep, why bother with me?" the fifth man muttered.

Zheng Shan ignored her complaint, but asked, "This time, when you go back, you should be more honest and restrain your temper for me, do you know?"

"I know, I'm not an ignorant child. As for asking you to talk like this? You're about to catch up with your mother." The fifth was a little dissatisfied.

Does this really take her as a child?

Zheng Shan was choked for a moment, "If I have a child in the future, if I am like you, I will beat her to death."

"Haha, if your child can be half as good as me, you can burn a high incense." The fifth said unceremoniously.

Zheng Shan: ......

When arguing with this little girl, he basically didn't take advantage of it except when the fifth asked him for something.

Rolling his eyes, Zheng Shan took out a book and read it, too lazy to talk to her.

Zheng Shan didn't read any esoteric books, but read Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels, which he bought for this trip to pass the time.

He has never read any of Mr. Jin Yong's novels, and basically there is no shortage of TV dramas and movies.

So Zheng Shan watched it with relish. After all, the adapted version is a little different from the original.

Unknowingly, Zheng Shan was fascinated by it, but he suddenly noticed something was wrong, got up abruptly, and looked at the door.

At this time, there was actually one more person in the box, and his hand was quietly reaching out to the snakeskin bag placed on the upper bunk of Zheng Jianguo, groping for something.

"Fuck, you are so bold!" Zheng Shan scolded, threw the book in his hand, and hurriedly got out of bed to beat someone.

The thief here saw that Zheng Shan had reacted, and slipped away. When Zheng Shan ran to the door, he could only see a figure, and then chased after two steps.

Some people looked at Zheng Shan, and Zheng Shan said, "A thief was stealing something just now."

Most people just silently saluted the people around them, and didn't say a word, obviously they were used to it.

Zheng Shan was really speechless. He called the conductor and said something.

The conductor just warned them that they would pay attention, and then there was no extra response.

Zheng Shan didn't want to talk anymore. Maybe he just heard about it before, but now it seems that the thief on the train is like his own home.

You know it's still broad daylight, he hasn't slept yet, he's just reading a book.

"Dashan, what's wrong?" When he walked into the box, Zheng Jianguo woke up with a wooden stick in his hand, which was specially brought here.

Zheng Shandao: "There was a thief who wanted to steal something just now, but I drove him away."

"Be careful, the thieves are too rampant now." Zheng Jianguo put down the things in his hand after hearing this, and immediately fell asleep.

Obviously, Zheng Jianguo was used to it and didn't take it too seriously.

Zheng Shan could only smile helplessly when he saw this. He stopped reading this time and just looked at the scenery outside the window.

"Brother, why don't you sleep for a while and I'll take a look." The fifth said in a low voice.

Zheng Shan waved his hand and said, "Go to sleep, I'm not sleepy."

Immediately, he saw the panicked look in the old fifth's eyes, "Come down and sleep, I'll sit on the side, don't worry, it's alright."

The fifth one came down to sleep very obediently, watching Zheng Shan sitting beside him and then fell asleep with confidence.

In the evening, Zheng Jianguo finally got enough sleep, and the fifth one also woke up. Both of them didn't sleep well last night.

Eating is very simple. It is winter now, and Zhong Huixiu has already prepared what to eat on the road, including meat, vegetables, and steamed buns with white flour.

Ask the conductor to order hot water, and you can have a good meal.

"Go to sleep for a while, I'll keep watch." Zheng Jianguo said after eating and drinking.

Zheng Shan wasn't sleepy at this time, but after thinking about it, he should sleep for a while. It's better to wake up early or watch the night together. It is estimated that in the second half of the night, the thieves may be more rampant.

Sure enough, Zheng Shan woke up at about one o'clock, and for the next two or three hours, the train was full of demons.

From time to time, I heard the sound of fighting, and Zheng Shan didn't show his ability. You must know that no one knows him now, so he fights when he fights, and even in a hurry, it is normal to stab him with a knife.

He can only take care of the things in front of him now.
