Chapter 13

As the crew evacuated the passengers, the passengers at the other end of the carriage slowly moved towards this side, and Jiang Yan took the opportunity to walk over.

“Ouch!”

A passenger suddenly lost his balance and fell down, and the people in front of him who were not paying attention were also dragged down.

“Who is it?”

“Where are you putting your hands, you old pervert?”

“Who is being dishonest? I just fell down, who wants to take advantage of you? Don’t you think you are old?”

“What did you say?”

The two of them suddenly started arguing, and the others also started swearing, and the young men below stretched out their hands and called out.

“Can you guys get up first? You’re pressing my legs…”

The crowd was in a commotion. The sudden situation made the doctor and the two soldiers very nervous, and they watched the people falling vigilantly.

The accident came unexpectedly, and Jiang Yan was also confused. She glanced at the system warehouse and quickly left this place of trouble.

“Everyone, don’t panic, take your time, don’t rush, and avoid trampling.”

Under the instructions of the flight attendant, the passengers slowly stood up and quickly left the carriage.

“Hey, what is this?”

An auntie in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, and when she looked down, she saw an exquisite small red wooden box placed on the dining table where the old man was lying.

The wooden box is not big, about the size of a circle between your index finger and thumb.

It is engraved with ancient patterns and painted with shiny red paint. You can tell at first glance that it is a good thing. The word “cold” is also engraved in simplified Chinese on the box.

The aunt looked at the small wooden box without blinking, but the doctor and two soldiers blocked her view and she couldn’t see it clearly. Others also stood on tiptoe to look at it curiously.

“Where did this come from? It looks quite exquisite.”

Seeing this, the doctor also looked over, picked up the small wooden box and looked through it, and frowned again when he saw the words on the box.

The military doctor showed the box to two soldiers, both of whom had serious expressions. One of the soldiers winked at the flight attendant and quickly evacuated everyone.

After the carriage was empty, the doctor carefully checked the old man’s condition and was busy for a while, but the old man’s condition became increasingly grim.

“We need to send him to the hospital as soon as possible. It’s not a good idea to delay like this.”

The conductor also rushed over and said, “It’s almost 12 o’clock. The next stop is Zhanchuan Station, which will arrive at 3 o’clock.”

The doctor shook his head and said, “Mr. Chen, this is not a common cold. The medicine I brought can only treat common colds and inflammations. There is no way to treat this kind of sudden and severe emergency.”

“What should we do then?”

The train conductor was extremely anxious. He couldn’t understand why a person like Chen Minsheng, who could live well in Beijing, had to come to such a remote place as Zhanchuan.

Although it doesn’t snow in the south in winter, it is not as cold as in the north.

But this is a typical tropical climate, with a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and they are all very large. Mosquitoes can bite people to death.

One of the soldiers asked, “Ask the conductor if there are any other doctors who can be urgently transferred.”

The conductor replied: “I have arranged it, but no one has contacted the train crew yet.”

The atmosphere became solemn again.

The doctor looked at the small wooden box in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to open the box but was stopped by the soldier next to him, “Things of unknown origin cannot be touched.”

The doctor said, “But there is no other way now.”

Another soldier said, “Give it to me, I’ll drive it. You’re the only doctor on the bus and nothing can happen to you. If this is really a conspiracy by enemy agents, I’ll handle it.”

“OK.”

Without much hesitation, the doctor handed over the small wooden box. After receiving the box, the soldier immediately walked away and came to the window.

After carefully examining the box, the soldier opened it cautiously.

Nothing happened. There was only a black pill the size of a soybean inside, which emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After making sure that there was no mechanism in the box, the soldier took the pill back. The doctor leaned in and smelled it. A pleasant medicinal aroma rushed into his nostrils.

At this moment, he felt much more energetic. “It’s a Chinese medicine pill, but I don’t know the specific medicinal properties. Judging from the aroma, it should have the effect of refreshing the mind.”

But the origin of this medicine is unknown, and there has just been a commotion like that, so it is hard not to suspect that someone did it on purpose. If the person gets better, it would be fine, but if the person cannot be saved, everyone present will be held responsible.

…

Jiang Yan returned to the carriage with the lunch box. Wang Lin and his wife were each holding a steamed bun and eating it slowly with hot water.

The hot water should have been brought by the crew from other carriages.

After sitting down, Jiang Yan opened her lunch box and continued to eat her lunch.

The food was still hot, and the aroma soon spread. Yu Lulu frowned and said, “Just eat, what do you mean by bringing it back? Are you trying to show off how well you eat?”

Zhao Chunhua looked at Jiang Yan’s lunch box eagerly. “Tomato scrambled eggs, there are so many eggs. Jiang Yan, your fiancé’s money didn’t come from the wind. You should save a little.”

Jiang Yan looked at Zhao Chunhua coldly. Seeing Jiang Yan’s eyes, Zhao Chunhua lowered his head uncomfortably, not daring to look her in the eye. He cursed her a thousand times in his heart, but did not dare to confront Jiang Yan head-on.

Seeing Zhao Chunhua’s cowardly look, Jiang Yan rolled her eyes, then looked at Yu Lulu and said unceremoniously: “Your way of being jealous is quite peculiar. If you want to eat it, just tell me. I can let you smell it.”

“Who wants to eat it? Don’t blame me. I brought so many delicious foods. How could I be short of a bowl of broken tomatoes?”

Yu Lulu directly took out a can of malted milk from her pocket and opened it in front of everyone. Zhao Chunhua exclaimed, “Lulu, you still have this good stuff?”

“Of course.”

Scooping out two spoonfuls of malted milk and pouring it into the enamel teacup, Yu Lulu looked at Jiang Yan opposite her and said proudly: “How about it, you don’t have it, right?”

“Well, I didn’t.”

She had kept all her malted milk in the ring and couldn’t get it out.

But since they were about to get off the bus, Jiang Yan still wanted to remind him, “I just don’t know how long you can last with this can of malted milk. Will it all end up in Zhao Chunhua’s stomach?”

“Jiang Yan, please stop slandering me. Lulu and I were classmates in junior high and high school. How could I covet her things? How can you be so vicious?”

Zhao Chunhua reacted strongly, as Jiang Yan’s words touched her interests.

What if Yu Lulu wakes up? How can she cheat her of her things? She didn’t bring anything with her when she went to the countryside, and she relies on Yu Lulu to survive.

Yu Lulu didn’t react either. She and Jiang Yan didn’t get along, and Zhao Chunhua had always been on her side supporting her, so she naturally helped Zhao Chunhua.

She said angrily: “Jiang Yan, it’s fine if you bully me, but what are you saying about Chunhua? She is not like you.”

“Well, I was wrong.”

“Let go of the desire to help others and respect other people’s lives.”

Although Yu Lulu is disliked, Zhao Chunhua’s behavior is even more disgusting. If Yu Lulu doesn’t see the truth sooner, she will probably be eaten until not even a bone is left.

But now, seeing Yu Lulu’s united hatred and the way she wanted to avenge her great vengeance, Jiang Yan felt that she must have lost her mind to do such a stupid thing.

Seeing Jiang Yan give in, Yu Lulu’s anger was swept away, “Humph, you also know that you are wrong.”

But Zheng Hui in the same row and several educated youth opposite looked at Jiang Yan in surprise, thinking that what she said was so good.

Just a few simple words, yet they contain profound life lessons.

Across the aisle.

In the same row with the educated youth, a well-educated middle-aged woman looked at Jiang Yan and asked, “Little girl, what you said is very interesting. If I could change my life to, well…”

In fact, she wanted to say that it would be better to replace the word “life” with “destiny”, but when she thought about the current situation, saying the wrong thing could lead to eternal damnation, and she understood it in an instant.

Jiang Yan naturally knew the meaning and context of this sentence, and deliberately changed it to the word “life” to avoid danger.

Thinking of this, the woman shook her head, looked at Jiang Yan with a smile and asked, “Have you ever read a book?”

Look at the way you talk, as if you haven’t read it before.

Jiang Yan smiled and said, “Graduated from high school.”

“What a pity.” The woman sighed regretfully, “If it were a few years earlier, you should have gone to college.”

Jiang Yan smiled and said, “It’s not a pity. Whether in school, in the countryside, or in the vast forests and oceans, you can actually learn knowledge.”

“When it comes to writing and reading, I dare say that 99 percent of farmers are not as good as me, but when it comes to farming and raising pigs, ten of them are not as good as one farmer.”

“Everyone has his or her own strengths. As long as you discover the strengths of others and then learn from them, you will always learn something.”

After hearing Jiang Yan’s words, the woman lowered her head in thought, then suddenly it dawned on her, she looked at Jiang Yan in surprise and said:

“You are right.”

“Even if we are not in the laboratory and cannot publish journal papers, we can still use the knowledge we have learned to verify right and wrong when we go to the poor countryside, and we can also help farmers solve problems that they cannot solve themselves.”

“The good experiences of farmers can also be added to our knowledge base.”

It’s like opening up the Ren and Du meridians. A woman becomes more cheerful and her temperament becomes clean and pure.

Seeing that the other person had come to terms with it, Jiang Yan smiled with relief.

The woman sat in the corner, her head against the car window looking at the scenery outside, neither speaking nor communicating with others.

If she hadn’t met him by chance when she was coming back from the toilet yesterday, Jiang Yan wouldn’t have known that there was such a person in the car.

Her temperament is so special.

It is a kind of calmness that comes from being well-read and elegant, it is also the gentle and warm fragrance of ink, and it is also the fresh breeze blowing through the mountain stream.

Later, Jiang Yan consciously or unconsciously observed this woman who amazed her, but she found that she was decadent, with a sense of corruption in her gentleness, and she was desperate and helpless.

Jiang Yan also guessed that this woman was either an educated youth who went to the countryside, or someone who was sent to a cowshed or a farm.

The conversation just now did prove Jiang Yan’s guess.

After going to the countryside, if she can use her knowledge to do something and bring positive impact to the villagers, her life should be better.

In fact, such a high-level intellectual did not need Jiang Yan to remind her. She just encountered a sudden change and could not accept it for a while.
