Chapter 41 On the Train

When Lu Jiajie saw General Tie holding the door, he knew that the two men were out. Recently, a large number of street gangsters have been cleared, and the public security in Sijiu City is now very good. Xue Mao would accompany Lu Jiaxin when she went out, so he wasn't worried.

Lu Jiajie was afraid of heat and sweated easily. His clothes were already wet after running outside all afternoon. There happened to be clothes stored here, so he fetched water and took a shower in the yard.

When changing clothes, he found a new set of clothes on the bed. Thinking of what Lu Jiaxin said before, he smiled and picked up the clothes to change into. But he didn't expect that there was a piece of paper underneath his clothes. When he read the contents on the paper, his expression changed drastically.

Lu Jiaguang received his call and asked in surprise: "What did you say? Xinxin went to the ancient capital. What was she doing in the ancient capital?"

Lu Jiajie has calmed down from the shock: "She left a message saying that she was going to the ancient capital to find the trafficker, otherwise she will not be able to sleep well in her life."

Lu Jiaguang was angry and anxious and asked: "Hurry up and ask the neighbors to see if they left yesterday or today. If you encounter someone with ill intentions again, you will not be so lucky."

He regretted supporting Lu Jiaxin to move out, otherwise he would have discovered it quickly if someone at home suddenly disappeared.

Lu Jiajie hurriedly comforted him: "Brother, you don't have to worry. In addition to Xue Mao, she also found two people to accompany her to the ancient capital. Those two people were introduced by Mrs. Xie. They are very skilled and can protect them both."

When Lu Jiaguang heard this, he was relieved: "You first go to Su Heming to understand the situation, and then come to me."

"good."

After the two brothers met, Lu Jiajie handed him the letter.

Lu Jiaguang took it and looked at it carefully. It wrote on it that she was going to the ancient capital and the reason for hiding it from them. She also said that she would be back within two months, so they should not worry.

Lu Jiajie leaned on the chair and said, "Brother, I saw that Third Uncle really made Xinxin feel cold. She didn't even say hello for such a big thing as going to the ancient capital."

Normally, people would seek help from their parents when encountering difficulties, but Jiaxin didn't even mention it. Even if I asked for a bodyguard, I would ask for help from my family, not my third uncle.

Lu Jiaguang said: "If you were replaced by Xinxin, would you be disappointed?"

Before, I was slightly biased towards Ding Jing and her daughter. It could be said that it was for the sake of family harmony. But it had been so long since Xinxin had been back, Ding Jingan was peacefully being Mrs. Lu, and Zhao Siyi was happily going to college. On the other hand, Xinxin moved out from home after suffering so much grievance. If Jiajie hadn't lived there, the two and a half-year-old children would definitely have been bullied.

Lu Jiajie said, "Brother, why don't you tell him about Xinxin?"

Lu Jiaguang was also angry. He felt that Lu Hongjun was familiar and distant, but no matter how angry he was, he couldn't hide it. So I immediately called the number, but unfortunately no one answered.

The Xie family arranged for someone to follow Lu Jiaxin to the ancient capital. Safety was guaranteed, so he wasn't worried. As for the human trafficker, he didn't think Lu Jiaxin could catch him.

The police station in her hometown searched for him based on the clues provided by Lu Jiaxin, but could not find the person who matched her description. It was expected that she couldn't be found. After all, traffickers know how to disguise themselves. There have been young women who have made up to look like old women before.

Lu Jiajie couldn't help but complained: "It was so good when the third aunt was here in the past. We went to have dinner on weekends, and the whole family and Lele started to have love and confidence. Who wouldn't be envious to see it? It's not like now, you can only go to the work to find something. Third uncle."

In the past, going to my third uncle's house was just like going back to my own home. Ever since Ding Jing walked in, he always felt like a poor relative coming to enjoy the autumn breeze. It's also for Xinxin, otherwise he wouldn't come to the door! Now that my sister has moved out, she will never go to the family home of the department store if there is nothing important.

Lu Jiaguang didn't want to discuss Lu Hongjun, no matter how much he was, he was still an elder. He changed the subject: "Since your father-in-law and mother-in-law want to adopt your aunt's child, you and Lili should buy a house and move out. If the money is not enough, I still have some here."

Lu Jiajie would not be polite to his brothers. If he didn't have enough money, he would definitely ask Lu Jiaguang to borrow it: "Brother, I am looking for a house recently. If I find a suitable one, I will move out."

Lu Jiaguang thought this was good news. In fact, he had long wanted Lu Jiajie to move out. A man lived in his mother-in-law's house, and he couldn't straighten his waist: "As long as you can convince her. But after moving out, you will be the head of the family and you have to take on the responsibility of the head of the family. "

"I know, brother. Alas, I don't know what Xinxin is doing now?"

Lu Jiaxin, whom he was thinking about, was having dinner on the train. People nowadays are more frugal, and many people prepare dry food when traveling far away. Xue Maolao's cakes can only last for one meal, and the rest can only be bought on the train.

Lu Jiaxin bought two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. Lu Jiaxin thought the taste was pretty good and the price was acceptable. Unlike later generations, it was expensive and unpalatable.

Gu Wenfeng had a big appetite and ordered two extra portions of white rice. Seeing him eating so deliciously, Lu Jiaxin felt like she had an appetite.

Opposite them sat an old man with half-grey hair, who also bought a box lunch and didn't have much appetite. But seeing Gu Wenfeng eating so deliciously, he suddenly developed an appetite.

After finishing the meal, the old man sighed: "It's better to be young! Like when I was thirty years old, I ate two aluminum boxes of rice, but I was hungry again before the meal time."

Lu Jiaxin said nothing, but secretly said in her heart that it was because everyone had no money in their stomachs. It requires so much oil and water that I can't even finish an aluminum lunch box.

Gu Wenfeng is not a person who likes to chat, but the old man talked with kindness, and he responded: "Everyone will grow old one day, and no one can escape it."

Lu Jiaxin looked at him with some surprise. Zhao Dajun couldn't keep his secrets hidden, and he revealed his true feelings within a day, but Gu Wenfeng said nothing. She felt that Gu Wenfeng was a man with a story.

The sleeper berths they bought were one in the lower berth and one in the middle, and the location was very good. When they first got on the train, someone wanted to change with them, but Lu Jiaxin refused.

Sleeping in the lower berth was convenient for everything. If it was an elderly person with inconvenient legs or with a child, she would carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng. The other party looked like a man in his forties, and she didn't want to be wronged.

Gu Wenfeng's position was very clear. He was only responsible for protecting Lu Jiaxin's safety on this trip. He would remind her of dangerous things, and he wouldn't say anything else.

After dinner, the old man and Lu Jiaxin chatted. Old people like to tell stories, and this old man is no exception. If she was in the city of Sijiu, she would not be happy to listen, but she was idle on the train anyway, and listening to it was a way to kill time.

It was getting dark, and the lights in the carriage were on. The old man was tired of talking, so he went to the water room to get some water.

Gu Wenfeng said to Lu Jiaxin, "Should we change? You sleep in the middle berth."

He felt that sleeping in the lower berth was not very safe. Many people who took the train lost valuables and money at night. The hard seat carriage was the hardest hit area. The sleeper berth was slightly better, but it did happen. Lu Jiaxin said before that she brought valuables. Judging from the weight of the luggage and the fact that she had visited several banks before, she should have brought a large amount of cash this time.

"Okay."

After the lights in the carriage went out, a few people were still talking. There was a strange smell in the carriage. Lu Jiaxin tossed and turned in bed until the second half of the night before she fell asleep.

"Ah..."

A scream woke her up, and when she sat up, her head hit the iron frame. But at this time, she could no longer care about her forehead, because Gu Wenfeng was holding someone with his backhand.

Lu Jiaxin asked, "Brother, what happened?"

Gu Wenfeng said loudly, "He tried to steal our luggage, but I caught him red-handed."

Lu Jiaxin saw the army green bag on the ground in the dim light, and her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face: "Brother, we didn't lose anything, did we?"

She put two thousand in her canvas bag, and the rest of the money was in her luggage bag. This money was used to buy a house, and if it was lost, it would be a waste of time.

Gu Wenfeng glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, nothing is lost."

The people in the carriage heard that a thief was caught, and they hurriedly checked their belongings. Among them, a passenger near the door was robbed, and more than 500 yuan in his bag was missing.

The train police came quickly, handcuffed the thief and took him away. The more than 500 yuan was also found on the thief.

The passenger who lost the money came to thank Gu Wenfeng. If he hadn't been alert and caught the thief, the money would never be recovered.

Lu Jiajie and Lu Jiaguang had dinner at the Railway Bureau. After dinner Then he went home. On the way, he met a vendor selling candied haws and bought three strings.

Although he had a bad relationship with his aunt, he would not argue with a child. More importantly, he did not want to quarrel again over such a small matter. But when he got home and saw that Sister Ma was here again, he took the candied haws directly into the house.

Lu Jiajie did not want to see the ugly face of his aunt. Just when he was about to say that he would not have dinner at home in the evening, Ma's mother came out of the kitchen.

As soon as she saw Lu Jiajie, Ma's mother stared at his clothes and asked, "Jiajie, you didn't wear this clothes when you went out at noon. Where did you go?"

Sister Ma was like a cat smelling fishy smell. She said, "Jiajie, your clothes are still brand new and fit you well. Who bought them for you?"

If he was told nicely, he would explain, but this was weird, as if he had done something shameful. Lu Jiajie said with a cold face, "Who bought it has nothing to do with you? If you have the time, you should take care of the children more and stop bringing duck eggs home all the time. "

Sister Ma's face turned pale and blue. The fact that her two sons were not good at studying was her Achilles' heel: "My son Xiaogang is not good at studying, but he is open and honest. He is not like some people who steal and cheat."

Lu Jiajie was furious: "What do you mean by this? Your man likes to steal and cheat. Do you think all men in the world are the same? I'm really sorry. I have mysophobia. Unlike your man, he accepts all dirty and smelly people."

The word "mysophobia" was learned from Lu Jiaxin.

Sister Ma was so angry that she said, "Lu Jiajie, what nonsense are you talking about. My man is innocent, but you slander him."

If he was mocked for being a gigolo, she would tolerate it, but if he was slandered for having a woman outside, she must fight back. Otherwise, the whole building will spread the rumor that he was messing around outside tomorrow.

Lu Jiajie said, "Whether he is innocent or not, you know it in your heart, and we know it too."
