Chapter 108: To Liujia Village, Fuyu County, Nanshi, Province C
"Woo woo woo..." Accompanied by the sound of the train whistle, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan embarked on the journey to Liujia Village. Since Lu Chuan's guards only bought hard seat tickets, they needed to sit on the train for nearly 8 hours to reach their destination.
At first, Bai Zhizhi felt no discomfort, but as time went on, she began to feel unbearable pain in her buttocks.
She secretly thanked her lucky stars for putting the triplets into the system space, otherwise the journey would have been extremely difficult.
Lu Chuan noticed the painful look on Bai Zhizhi's face and asked with concern, "Do you want us to take turns standing for a while?" Bai Zhizhi nodded gratefully and agreed. So the two of them took turns standing up and moving their bodies to relieve the discomfort caused by sitting for a long time.
After a while, the train stopped at a big station. Many passengers got off the train to buy food, and Bai Zhizhi was eager to buy some delicious food.
She said to Lu Chuan: "I'm going to buy some food, you stay here and watch over the luggage."
Lu Chuan nodded in agreement, and Bai Zhizhi struggled to squeeze out of the crowd and came to the platform.
When she walked to the platform, she was greeted by an enticing aroma. It turned out that a vendor was selling roasted sweet potatoes.
Bai Zhizhi couldn't help but stop and asked the vendor the price. She bought two without hesitation. She wanted to taste the delicious roasted sweet potatoes with Lu Chuan.
Bai Zhizhi brought the roasted sweet potato back to the carriage and handed one to Lu Chuan. Lu Chuan took it, peeled off the skin and took a bite. The sweet taste made him smile with satisfaction.
"It's delicious." Lu Chuan said.
Bai Zhizhi also smiled and started to eat her portion. She thought the roasted sweet potato was so delicious that it made her forget the tiredness of the car ride.
At this moment, the train suddenly shook violently, followed by a sharp brake sound, and the passengers in the carriage screamed in surprise.
"What's going on?" Bai Zhizhi asked in surprise.
"I'll go take a look." Lu Chuan stood up and walked towards the front of the car.
After a while, he came back and said to Bai Zhizhi with a serious face: "There was a landslide ahead, the railway was blocked, and the train could not move forward."
Upon hearing the news, Bai Zhizhi's face turned pale instantly. She widened her eyes and asked nervously, "What should we do then? Are we trapped here like this?"
Lu Chuan comforted her and said, "Don't worry, the train conductor is already working with other staff to find a solution. They will contact rescuers as soon as possible and take appropriate measures. The most important thing now is to stay calm and wait for further instructions."
Bai Zhizhi nodded, but her heart was still filled with anxiety. She knew that it might take some time to solve the problem in this situation, and her originally planned trip might be affected. She secretly prayed that she could get through this difficult time and reach her destination as soon as possible.
At the same time, Lu Chuan was also thinking about how to help other passengers deal with this emergency. He decided to cooperate with the train conductor to calm everyone's emotions and provide necessary support and assistance.
At times like this, solidarity and mutual assistance will be the key to overcoming difficulties.
As time went by, the atmosphere on the train became increasingly tense. Passengers began to communicate with each other and share their concerns and thoughts. Some tried to go to nearby places to call their family or friends to report their safety, but they found that there were only mountains and valleys around and no one lived there, so they gave up the idea of making a call. After all, it was still very expensive to make a phone call these days. Others kept a close eye on the situation outside the window, hoping to see the arrival of the rescue team.
At this critical moment, Lu Chuan showed unprecedented strength and courage. He held Bai Zhizhi's hand tightly and comforted her: "Don't worry, we will be fine."
Bai Zhizhi nodded helplessly. She looked out the window and saw that it was muddy outside and the mud and rocks on the mountain were still sliding down. It seemed that there was no way to leave here in a short time.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." Lu Chuan patted Bai Zhizhi's shoulder gently and looked at her with firm eyes.
"Yeah!" Bai Zhizhi nodded vigorously, with a touch of emotion in her eyes.
At this time, the conductor came over and told them that the road ahead was blocked by a mudslide and the train could not move forward temporarily, and they needed to wait for rescue workers to clear the road. Upon hearing this news, the passengers in the carriage began to complain and accused the railway bureau of not taking preventive measures.
Lu Chuan frowned, feeling somewhat dissatisfied, but he knew that now was not the time to complain. He turned to the conductor and said, "Can you give everyone some food and drinks? This will help ease the tension."
The conductor hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. Lu Chuan stood up and took the initiative to help distribute food and drinks. While he was busy, he comforted other passengers and tried to calm everyone down.
At this time, the radio in the carriage also sounded: "Dear passengers, please remain calm. We have contacted rescue personnel and will arrange for everyone to be evacuated as soon as possible. Please wait patiently."
After hearing the broadcast, the passengers' emotions stabilized a little. Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan decided to take a break and conserve their energy (Bai Zhizhi also used her mind to enter the system space to feed the children and let them play).
After some time, rescue workers finally arrived at the scene and they quickly took action to clear the road and repair the damaged railway facilities.
Lu Chuan stood by the window with other passengers, watching the rescue workers work hard, their hearts full of anticipation.
Finally, after a long wait, the train started again and slowly headed towards its destination.
Although the journey was much later than expected, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan felt extremely relieved. They understood that challenges in life often come unexpectedly, but as long as they have faith and move forward courageously, they can overcome all difficulties.
When the train arrived at the destination, Lu Chuan took Bai Zhizhi's hand and walked out of the carriage. They bathed in the sun and felt the warm air. Lu Chuan gently hugged Bai Zhizhi and said softly: "Thank you for always being with me."
Bai Zhizhi smiled and replied: "You're welcome, we are the most important people to each other."
The two smiled at each other and walked hand in hand towards the future. No matter what difficulties they encountered, they would work together and never give up.
Finally, the two arrived at Fuyu County, Nanshi at 5 pm the next day. At this time, the sun was already setting and a gorgeous sunset glow appeared on the horizon. As it was almost evening, there were no more cars returning to Liujia Village, so they could only sleep in the county guesthouse.
Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan walked into the guesthouse next to the state-owned hotel with their luggage and encountered some minor troubles when checking in. The staff told them that since they were a man and a woman checking in, they needed a letter of introduction and a marriage certificate to check in.
Fortunately, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan had already prepared the documents and completed the check-in procedures smoothly.
After they entered the room, they found that the conditions of the guesthouse were quite good. The room was spacious and bright, the bed was soft and comfortable, and the furnishings in the room were simple and generous, making people feel warm and comfortable.
After a day of running around, they were already exhausted. After a simple wash, they couldn't wait to go to bed and rest.
The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window, creating patches of mottled light and shadows.
Bai Zhizhi stretched and rubbed her eyes, then looked at Lu Chuan next to her, who was still sleeping soundly. She got up from the bed gently and put on her clothes carefully, fearing that she would wake Lu Chuan up.
She walked to the window and opened the curtains to let the sunlight into the room.
On the street outside the window, pedestrians are bustling and vehicles are coming and going, creating a lively scene.
Bai Zhizhi took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the vitality and vigor of this county town, she turned back to the bed, picked up the comb and combed her hair. Then, she sat quietly in the chair, waiting for Lu Chuan to wake up.
After a while, Lu Chuan finally woke up. He rubbed his eyes, looked at Bai Zhizhi who was sitting next to him, and smiled.
Bai Zhizhi saw Lu Chuan wake up and whispered, "Are you up? Go wash up, we'll go out for breakfast later." Lu Chuan nodded, got out of bed, and walked to the bathroom. He quickly washed up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room with Bai Zhizhi.
Walking out of the room, Bai Zhizhi smelled a delicious aroma. She followed the smell to the state-owned restaurant next to the guesthouse and saw the chef preparing breakfast.
Bai Zhizhi ordered a steaming bowl of soy milk and fried dough sticks, and two eggs, while Lu Chuan chose a bowl of hot porridge and a few buns.
Soon, Lu Chuan also arrived at the state-owned restaurant. He saw Bai Zhizhi already having breakfast, so he walked over and sat opposite her. While eating breakfast, the two discussed today's itinerary.
"Let's go to the station first to see if there is a bus to Liujia Village." Lu Chuan said.
"Okay." Bai Zhizhi nodded. After breakfast, they checked out, left the guesthouse, and headed to the bus station.
When they arrived at the bus station, they found that the bus to Liujia Village would not leave until 11 a.m. So they decided to walk around the county town.
They strolled along the streets, feeling the tranquility and bustle of this small county town. Bai Zhizhi saw a stall selling candied haws and ran over excitedly to buy a string.
"Try it. This was my favorite snack when I was a child." Bai Zhizhi handed the candied haws to Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan took a bite, and the sour and sweet taste reminded him of his childhood.
After eating the candied haws, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan prepared to go to the bus station.
It was not until around 11 a.m. that they returned to the bus station and saw that the tractor from Liujia Village had arrived at the gate of the Fuyi County Archway. The two men saw that they were all acquaintances, so they quickly found a hidden place to secretly bring the triplets out. After all, they would be going home soon, and if the triplets did not show up, they would definitely have to ask "a hundred thousand whys".
The two of them brought the triplets to the gate of the memorial archway, wished a happy new year to the tractor uncle, and waited for the rest of the people to arrive. Bai Zhizhi was tired of standing, so she got on the tractor, and when the rest of the people arrived, they bumped all the way back to Liujia Village (everyone came out to take a walk and have a look during the New Year).
After purchasing two tickets to Liujia Village, the car slowly drove out of the station and headed towards Liujia Village.
Along the way, they admired the scenery along the way, their hearts full of anticipation for their future life.
After more than an hour's drive, they finally arrived at Liujia Village. Soon, they came to the entrance of Liujia Village. Bai Zhizhi looked at the familiar village in front of her and felt a sense of intimacy. Although there was no prosperity in the city, it had the tranquility and simplicity unique to the countryside.
She took a deep breath, feeling the warmth that the land brought her.
Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan got out of the car, picked up their luggage and held the triplets, and walked towards the village along a muddy path.
There are lush farmlands on both sides of the road and rolling mountains in the distance, like a beautiful painting.
They saw some villagers walking and chatting, talking about the situation in the village and future plans.
When the villagers saw them coming back, they greeted them warmly. After thanking the driver, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan carried their luggage and walked home.
After arriving home, Bai's father and mother welcomed Bai Zhizhi and her family of five with happy smiles on their faces. Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan greeted their family members with happy New Year. Brother Bai hurriedly stepped forward to take the luggage from Lu Chuan and warmly invited them into the house.
Mother Bai excitedly held the third of the triplets (Little Tuanzi), her eyes full of joy, and kept muttering, "Oh, my precious little grandchildren!" Father Bai carefully held the only granddaughter, the second one (Little Feather), making the little one giggle.
Bai Zhizhi hugged the eldest child (Yu Yu) tenderly, feeling the warmth of home. Bai's mother looked at Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan returning safely, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she smiled happily.
As night falls, the family sits around the dining table and has dinner together.
A large round table was filled with sumptuous dishes, including fried beans with meat, eggplant and minced meat pancakes, boiled fish, green vegetables, white radish and pork ribs soup, tofu and minced meat, chicken stewed with potato vermicelli, stir-fried rabbit and cured rabbit meat... Each dish exuded an enticing aroma, making people salivate.
The family sat around the table, enjoying the food and chatting happily, with laughter rising and falling, and the whole atmosphere was very harmonious.
After dinner, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan told everyone a story about how their family was on their way back and the train collapsed somewhere in front of them, which was why they had to return just now.
As they chatted, they realized that it was getting late, so everyone went back to their rooms. Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan took the children back to their rooms and began to rest. After all, they were very tired after stopping and walking all the way.
They were filled with emotion. Although they encountered many difficulties during the journey, they also gained many good memories.
For example, it is such a warm moment to enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset at the seaside of Province G; it is such a happy time to see children playing on the beach with bright smiles on their faces. These are all beautiful memories worth cherishing for a lifetime.
As night fell, the moon was high in the sky, and the soft moonlight shone through the window onto the ground. Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan lay on the bed, talking softly. They recalled the little moments they had spent together in the past, and their hearts were filled with emotion and gratitude.
Finally, with anticipation for a better life in the future, the two hugged each other tightly and fell into a sweet dream, ending this special and unforgettable journey.
