Clank... Clank... Clank...
The green train swayed on the rails, passing through the countryside and fields in the summer evening breeze, winding and circling like a dragon.
This is a train that departs from the southwest and heads north. It runs every three days. Due to the scarcity of trains, the carriages are packed with people, and even the aisles are crowded with people.
"Hey, you stepped on my foot."
"Where have we arrived yet? We still have a long way to go to Beijing."
"Are you hungry? It's already dinner time, eat your cake."
The six-carriage green train is a hard-seat carriage. It takes three days and two nights to get from the southwest to Beijing. It is crowded and the seats are worn and uncomfortable. After sitting for most of the day, some people feel pain in their buttocks and swollen calves. In addition, many people carry food in their bags. With the high temperature of summer, the food ferments and various smells are intertwined. After two days and one night, everyone is a little tired.
People wearing black, gray, and dark blue coarse cloth clothes are preparing dinner with large and small bags piled up to fill their stomachs.
Su Yin took out a corn and wild vegetable cake from her cloth bag, drank water from an old, toothless enamel cup, and finished her dinner one bite at a time.
She only had 26.5 yuan in her possession, and she spent 11.30 yuan on the train ticket. Her savings were almost gone, so she had to plan how to spend the money.
"Comrade, do you want to eat this? Do you want a Tugla?"
The lady sitting opposite her extended her hand enthusiastically. There was a cloth bag in her palm, and some yellow earth-colored cakes were quietly lying inside, which looked very dry and hard.
"No, thank you, Auntie. It's hot this day, and my appetite is not very good. I'm full."
"Hey." Auntie took her hand back in dismay, muttering, "You young women are all as hungry as birds. It's good to stay in the countryside, saving food..."
Su Yin didn't respond. This was her first time riding a train and her first time traveling far away. Looking at the wheat fields passing by outside the window, they were green and lush. The evening breeze brought bursts of freshness, which relieved the heat in the carriage.
Two days ago, she said goodbye to her aunt and left home. Her aunt was knowledgeable. Although the old lady had never left Heping County in her life, she held her hand and gave her some instructions, especially asking Su Yin not to talk to people casually at the train station and on the train, or she would be abducted.
Nowadays, there are many kidnappers. Su Yin has heard about it. She is very alert after getting off the train. She just hopes to reach Beijing safely.
But when she gets to Beijing... she doesn't know how life will be.
If she suddenly leaves home, will her uncle and aunt be angry and curse?
The story starts three months ago.
After Su Yin's grandfather died of illness, Su Yin was the only one left in the family. Su's father was drafted into the army in his early years. Later, his life and death were unknown and he never came back. At first, everyone was still looking forward to it. Later, when the war ended, some said that Su's father died on the battlefield, and some said that Su's father was afraid of death and became a deserter. There were all kinds of voices. Because of this, the Su family did not enjoy the martyr's subsidy. Su's mother endured for a year and remarried. They had no contact for more than ten years. Su Yin and her grandfather depended on each other for life. Who knew that she would suddenly become alone now?
