Set Off
It was two o'clock in the afternoon, the warmest time in early spring. A man and a woman were carrying a backpack. Like everyone else on the road, they seemed to be in a hurry and anxious.
Along the way, the guards were in groups of at least two, armed with live ammunition. They looked at everyone around them vigilantly. Any pedestrian would pass by three meters away from them, because when they were three meters away, the soldiers would raise their guns and point at that person. Any pedestrian would leave under the strict gaze of the soldiers. This had formed a tacit understanding, the tacit understanding that allowed both sides to live in peace.
Yue Hua Yang and Lin Fang carried their backpacks. After nearly an hour of rushing, they finally arrived at the location of the long stall. Under the instructions of the stall manager, they paid the money and were quickly assigned to a small stall.
Perhaps it was because they had set the price very low, but in less than an hour, they sold everything except clothes and shoes. In the end, they waited for another half an hour, but they still did not sell the last item.
In fact, many of the things they sold were items that they spent time with Lin Fang every day, so every time they sold something, they would feel her reluctance. The more Yue Huayang looked at her, the more guilty he felt. Because he had been eating and using her along the way, he even made her, who he thought was going to be single for the rest of his life, have her. She gave him the feeling of a home! From the way they had interacted these days, she had indeed regarded him as the only person she could rely on now. She wanted to ask for his opinion on many things, and she even acted like the mistress of the house in some aspects.
They continued to wait for half an hour. They really couldn't sell the clothes and shoes that were left, so the two of them prepared to go back to the car. They threw the clothes and shoes into the donation box and left the place in a relaxed manner.
At this moment, the most discussed topic on the street was the fire situation in the new market. All kinds of videos of the market were flying everywhere like snowflakes. Moreover, many people would look in the direction of the market through the gaps between the buildings from time to time. The two of them often looked like this. The smoke produced by the fire in the market was getting less and less, but the increasing number of deaths still gave everyone a sense of panic. The government had announced that the entire city would be under curfew except for a few specific roads. After such a serious fire, almost all commercial activities and larger gatherings were suspended. The soldiers even dispersed the people who gathered together with more than 20 people. They began to feel a little nervous.
After walking for nearly an hour, Yue Hua Yang and Lin Fang finally returned to the car at almost five o'clock in the afternoon. Perhaps it was because they had walked and stood for an entire afternoon, they were very tired at the moment, but they were always very alert to the situation outside. First, Yue Hua Yang noticed that there was a person pacing back and forth several times within a few dozen meters of the car. Yue Hua Yang stared at him carefully and found that it was the person who had bid for wine before. However, he didn't expect this person to come so early, more than an hour early. However, the sky was still not dark, so Yue Hua Yang pretended not to see him.
When the night slowly fell, the man who had been wandering around the car finally approached the car after looking around.
The price had already been agreed upon. The standard cash on delivery was 60,000 yuan per bottle. He casually opened a bottle and verified that it was real wine. After that, he successfully completed the process of taking what he wanted. Then, he put the wine in a gunny sack and flashed a few times in the crowd before completely disappearing into the vast sea of people. Soon, the second and third person appeared one after another. Both parties happily handed over the goods and money. Then, they put the wine in an invisible bag. Each of them was careful, as if they were afraid that others would see it.
Yue Hua Yang's deal with them ended half an hour earlier. Everything went smoothly without a single problem. Once the deal was over, Yue Hua Yang and Lin Fang quickly left the car with their backpacks. They locked the car and headed all the way to Leiyang West Station.
The sea of people on Leiyang Avenue continued to squirm under the street lamps. The line of people heading toward the railway station was still full, even more than the number of people during the day. All kinds of people were running on this road, their expressions full of confusion and numbness.
The 30 ticket-buying lines on the train station square continued to line up. It was still an average of two to three hours before they could buy tickets. However, there were very few young men and women here. They were either old or young. It was as if a whole generation was missing.
Therefore, when Yue Hua Yang and Lin Fang walked on this road, their young age became a scenic line, attracting almost all the attention. Of course, most of the attention was on Lin Fang. Perhaps it was because the two of them were too eye-catching that not even a pickpocket dared to patronize them along the way.
They rushed all the way and finally arrived at the ticket inspection hall at 6:30 pm. However, after the ticket inspector saw the tickets in their hands, he told them that they could only enter the waiting hall with their tickets one hour before the departure. They had no choice but to continue waiting outside the waiting hall and watch the time slowly pass.
The pendulum of time swayed gently, just like people swaying under the lights of a square. They were in a hurry, leaving behind their reluctance and worries. The future was like a light wrapped in the dark night. They could only see what was in front of them, and the distance was black and confused.
The people around them came and went in waves, and they also came and went in waves, never leaving any space for them to move their legs freely.
Time continued to pass, and they finally waited until nine o'clock in the evening. They entered the waiting hall with their tickets and ID cards. They didn't know if they were walking or not, but they were surrounded by the crowd. Yue Hua Yang protected Lin Fang along the way to avoid being deliberately squeezed by the dirty men around her. They walked for five or six minutes and finally arrived at the waiting hall. It was already crowded here. Moreover, since everyone had entered from the cold outdoors, they were all drenched in sweat along the way. After entering, everyone felt a sour smell. Several large exhaust fans that were temporarily set up in the waiting hall had been drawing air out, but they still could not solve the various smells emitted by the dense crowd below.
After Yue Hua Yang and Lin Fang entered, the first thing they felt was heat. It was like a chicken coop that had no ventilation for half a month in the dog days of summer. The second feeling was squeezing. All the surrounding people were squeezing close to each other, leaving no space for the others. When they got a bit of space, they all wanted to take a deep breath; however, when the weird smell entered their noses, they couldn't help but want to spit it out at once. Their faces turned red as if their necks were pinched and pressed into the toilet bowl. Their instinct made them want to take a deep breath. The strange smell was like poison, making people not want to breathe even a mouthful.
Fortunately, this situation only lasted for more than ten minutes because the passage leading to the platform in front opened. The people in the waiting hall flowed in several directions like hourglasses in a container. It was neither fast nor slow. In five minutes, half of the people in the waiting hall flowed out. Then, as if the hourglass had suddenly stopped flowing, it stopped abruptly!
Yue Hua Yang and Lin Fang were squeezed by the people behind them and could not help but slide towards the hourglass in front of them. Lin Fang was already in a semi-conscious state. In her daze, she felt several hands pushing her forward. Suddenly, there was no one behind her, and no one was pushing her forward. Her body collapsed and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the railing beside her supported her. She weakly took a few steps forward. The cold and fresh air in front of her fascinated her. She couldn't help but take a few deep breaths and take a few steps forward anxiously. She just wanted to take in the fresh air. Finally, she didn't feel like she was being strangled.
She leaned against the railing and panted. After a minute, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Where was he? Would he take this opportunity to abandon her? She looked around immediately. There was no one else around except for the soldiers in thin clothes. At that moment, her heart felt empty. The support she had just established was gone. She searched crazily and ran across the entire passageway. Then, she looked at the people who were waiting to get on the bus. She ran from the front to the back of the bus and then from the back to the front of the bus. She did not see him. She squatted at the entrance of the passageway and cried in disappointment. When the train left the platform, there was no one around her except for the cleaning workers and soldiers. She burst into tears and completely ignored the people and things around her.
The other train slowly entered another lane. Suddenly, a large group of people rushed out of the passage, trying to get on the train. However, at the entrance of each carriage, the railway police and soldiers strictly controlled the people to line up. Because it was much faster to enter in an orderly manner than to enter in a swarm of people. Soon, the entrance of each carriage was lined up in an orderly manner, waiting to enter.
Yue Hua Yang wanted to go over after Lin Fang passed, but he was suddenly stopped by the station management. There was a striking sign on the railing door in front of him that read: Please wait for the next batch to enter. There will be a batch every 15 minutes. Thank you for your cooperation!
He watched as Lin Fang walked away step by step, as if she did not notice that he was not by her side. He called out a few times, but she did not seem to hear him at all. Suddenly, he saw her running forward with her eyes shining. Finally, he lost sight of her.
Only God knew how he had spent the past fifteen minutes. The first thing he did after opening the door was to rush to the first platform with two suitcases. There was no one in sight. He ran in the first position, and soon, he was more than ten meters away from the person behind him. Not far away, a train was getting closer and closer. It was a train that was about to enter the station and was slowly stopping. At this moment, other than a few soldiers on duty, there was no one else left on the platform. He ran to the soldiers and grabbed one of them's hands as he asked anxiously, Which platform did the last train leave from…
His sudden action alerted the other four soldiers next to him and they immediately reached for their waist. One of the soldiers who reacted faster had already taken out the pistol on his waist and pointed it at Yue Hua Yang's head. However, Yue Hua Yang was staring at the soldier in front of him and did not care about anything else. Soon, the other three also pointed their pistols at him.
The soldier who was questioned by him did not react for a moment. He habitually followed his train of thought and said, There are only two platforms at this station. I don't know what you mean by that…
He muttered to himself, Two platforms…Two platforms…Two platforms…
Suddenly, he turned around and ignored the soldier who was pointing a gun at his head. He was so anxious that he wanted to go to another platform. He ran away quickly, leaving a few soldiers looking at each other. In the end, they put away their pistols and began their new round of work.
Yue Hua Yang left the platform and immediately ran to the other platform. On the way, he met the crowd that followed him before, but this time he became a person who went against the flow, which made every step of his unusually difficult. Fortunately, he quickly squeezed through and began to look for her at the other platform. At the same time, he looked at the queue of the other train. There was no one at the first aisle, nor was there anyone at the second aisle. Suddenly, He saw a crying woman squatting near the entrance of the passage opposite. From the back, she looked very similar to her. He followed the path and finally found her.
She squatted on the ground and cried, tears flowing down her face. Yue Hua Yang called out softly," Lin Fang.
This voice seemed to come from a distant world and instantly cut off her already empty thoughts. When she saw him standing in front of her, she immediately threw herself into his arms and the two of them hugged each other. The moment Lin Fang saw him, she instinctively smiled through her tears, but as she smiled, tears came out again.
After a while, they calmed down and waited at the back of a queue. Finally, they boarded the already crowded train and set off for Guangzhou!
