V1.Chapter 67

It was not convenient to go far in '83.

Shangdu and Yangcheng are separated by more than 1000 kilometers. There may not be a direct train between the two places in a day. However, Yangcheng is a big city in the south, and Shangdu is a railway hub in the Central Plains. In addition to the direct train, there is a choice for the starting station, which is not a passing bus in Shangdu.

The railway transportation in Shangdu is very developed, but there is no train stop platform in Anqing county.

Anqing county is close to the commercial capital. If there is a train between them, Xia Xiaolan can resell things conveniently. How can she rely on bicycles? Short distance train tickets are not expensive, but long-distance train tickets!

Zhou Cheng drove Xia Xiaolan to Shangdu very quickly. As the Central Plains railway hub, Shangdu railway station is certainly shabby compared with the large railway stations of later generations, but it will only be more crowded than later generations. In the next 30 years, people will choose more diverse ways to travel, developed roads, high ownership of private cars, and cheap air tickets provide convenience and ease for long-distance travel.

Zhou Cheng asks Kang Wei to stay in the car and enters the station with Xia Xiaolan.

Carrying big bags and small bags, squeezing trains, dragging families, and tying wings and feet, poultry rattle and spray feces on the ground from time to time... Or some unlucky guy's shoes. Quarrelling, foolishly pushing forward, being cheated and trying to steal, anything can happen in the railway station. There are also all kinds of strange smells here - poultry, sweat, the smell of old cigarette guns, and the sour tightness of carrying pickles. Xia Xiaolan held her breath.

Zhou Cheng protected her for fear that she would be taken advantage of by the thieves and gangsters in the railway station. He was also worried that she would be slipped by the peel on the ground and squeezed into the ticket office. It was almost November and she was sweating all over.

Someone squeezed Xia Xiaolan with her child. Her stocky figure almost knocked her down.

Xia Xiaolan stumbled and Zhou Cheng held her arm.

"Follow me and don't lose it!"

Originally holding the arm, it naturally became holding the hand.

Xia Xiaolan's hands are not delicate and boneless, but Zhou Cheng has never held the hands of other girls. He can't compare them at all. He only knew that his hand could wrap Xia Xiaolan's little hand. His hand felt very good. His whole person was floating in the air... The surrounding environment was noisy, and Zhou Cheng could hear his heartbeat in the noise.

Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong... It sounds like a military drum. The drums are getting denser and denser. Zhou Cheng is dazzled by the explosion.

The senses in other parts of the body are blurred and weakened, and the only outstanding thing is the hand held by him and Xia Xiaolan.

When the shell explodes in front of him, he can be calm and sincere. At this moment, he is controlled by the adrenaline secreted by his body - what is love? Zhou Cheng doesn't know. Zhou Cheng feels that he has been conquered by supreme pleasure.

Just holding hands.

It's not just holding hands.

There was a thin sweat on his palm. Xia Xiaolan was a little unnatural. Zhou Cheng's action was so generous. It turned out that Zhou Cheng was nervous?

Aware of this, Xia Xiaolan also became nervous from calm.

She has a psychological age and is not an old driver in the relationship between men and women. Several relationships before rebirth ended without illness. She likes it purely. Xia Xiaolan herself is also very strange. Zhou Cheng was brave enough to seize the opportunity to hold hands, but he was so nervous that his palms were sweating, bold and pure?

Which is Zhou Cheng in the end? Xia Xiaolan also felt a strange emotion in her heart.

Zhou Cheng pulled her into the ticket office. "Comrade, can you still buy a train ticket to Yangcheng today?"

"Why do merchants go to Yangcheng? Tickets are available at 6 p.m. bring me the letter of introduction. "

Xia Xiaolan wants to take the letter of introduction. The hand held by Zhou Cheng moves. Zhou Cheng is very reluctant to let go and feels disappointed.

The ticket seller handed out Xia Xiaolan's letter of introduction, "a hard seat ticket is 25 yuan and 60 cents."

"No berth?"

It takes more than 30 hours from Shangdu to Yangcheng. Hard seats suffer too much. Zhou Cheng wants Xia Xiaolan to be more comfortable on the road.

The ticket window was crowded, and the conductor had a bad temper: "only hard seats, do you want to? Don't be next! "

sleeping berth?

Nowadays, railway resources are very tight. There won't be too many sleeper positions on each train. It doesn't matter. It's a dream to buy a sleeper ticket.

"Comrade, please have a hard seat."

Xia Xiaolan directly put the money into the window.

Hard seats have been better than she expected. For more than 30 hours, people in a hurry are willing to buy station tickets! Station tickets are much cheaper than hard seats. Xia Xiaolan is a luxury to buy a hard seat to Yangcheng... A ticket of 25.6 yuan is worth more than half of the monthly salary of ordinary employees!

The conductor took the money and handed Xia Xiaolan a ticket.

Zhou Cheng didn't say anything. The ambiguous atmosphere just now can't be met. He protected Xia Xiaolan out of the station.

The railway station is very complicated. Kang Wei didn't leave the truck at all.

"Have you got a ticket?"

"The hard seat to Yangcheng, the car at 6 p.m. and more than two hours to drive."

Why did you buy a hard seat?

Kang Wei and Zhou Cheng have a tacit understanding. He put his hand on his stomach: "fortunately, you're back. Look at the car. I'm going to the station to go to the bathroom."

Kang Wei disappeared, leaving Xia Xiaolan and Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng opened the door of his driver's license, "Xiaolan, you get in the car, too. I have something to give you."

Zhou Cheng showed Xia Xiaolan a small flashlight.

This flashlight is different from those big tin torches with batteries. It is more compact and exquisite. The high-grade black plastic shell and square appearance make it full of science and technology.

"What is this?"

No, there's this thing now?

Xia Xiaolan had a guess. Instead of giving her the flashlight immediately, Zhou Cheng showed her the Hype:

"There are two buttons here. The green one is normal light, and the red one is high-voltage current. It can directly contact people's skin. It can corona an adult within three seconds... Remember to fully charge after using it."

What kind of flashlight is this? It's obviously an electric shock!

It is very similar to Xia Xiaolan's self-defense electric shock device in later generations!

Is the technology so advanced now? Xia Xiaolan's surprise didn't hide.

Zhou Cheng thought he was scaring her. "Don't be afraid. Hold the handle and it won't electrify you."

Of course, this thing is not civil technology. Zhou Cheng also needs a lot to get it. Even if the equipment retired from the army is moldy in the warehouse, it will never be left outside.

In 1983, the militia in Anqing county may still be equipped with guns and weapons, but the public security police of the provincial department will not ration electric shock devices like this. What is more familiar in China is electric shock sticks with similar principles. The electric shock stick is too obvious. If Xia Xiaolan keeps it in her hand, she must be the first suspicious person to be investigated by the public security.

Xia Xiaolan took the small electric shock in her hand, which was Zhou Cheng's heavy heart.

"The Shanghai Stock Exchange opened its first pager this summer. There is a tool that can be contacted immediately. It is as small as a cigarette box. If a service desk is also opened in southern Henan, we can contact at any time..."

Shanghai already has a pager?!
