After leaving Lugongyou City, Nan Yi called Xian Weimin and took the initiative to ask about Men Saner's recent situation. Xian Weimin was in a hurry to go out and did not say too many details, but just said that Men Saner was not doing well recently.
In fact, there is no doubt that the overall economic downturn in Japan will have a significant impact on luxury food suppliers such as Yama no Mi, and a short-term decline is inevitable.
Unfortunately, Nan Yi did not mention the matter of the monkey stamps and antiques. He thought it would be better to forget it and talk about it later. He did not have the time to worry about these two items now.
It was almost time for dinner, so Nan Yi went to Ke Jianzhen's place.
I knocked on the gate and it was Sun Muxi who opened it. Ke Jianzhen was sitting on a low stool picking vegetables.
Sun Muxi pulled Nan Yi into the courtyard, and kissed him at the gate, saying that she hadn't seen him, her godson given to her as a grandson, for a long time and missed him very much. Then she scolded him for running around outside and not spending enough time with her grandson.
It took Sun Muxi five or six minutes to let Nan Yi go. He was able to come to Ke Jianzhen's side and see his skilled vegetable picking skills.
It seems that Ke Jianzhen no longer has the status of having food and clothing provided for him as before.
"Move a stool and sit down to help. Wuwei is practicing calligraphy in the study." Ke Jianzhen lowered his head and glanced at Nan Yi through the top of his loose reading glasses and said.
"How long have you been practicing?"
"More than two hours."
"It's summer vacation, don't arrange your schedule so tightly." Nan Yi stretched out his leg and hooked a stool from the side to sit down, picking up a few green beans from the basket and holding them in his hand, "Let the little guy go out and play more."
"I don't need you to teach me the principle of combining work and rest. I played basketball for an hour this morning, and then played croquet with Mu Xi for half a day."
Nan Yi strongly suspected that Sun Muxi took Nan Wuwei to play croquet purely to show off that she had a grandson. Croquet was not a sport that could be considered intense for old men and women, and was not suitable for Nan Wuwei to participate in at all.
"You are old, why don't you go out and exercise?"
"Practice Tai Chi, dance ballroom dance with the old ladies outside, make friends through dancing, and have fun." Sun Muxi on the side said with a hint of sourness.
"Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Zhao and I just danced together in the park, and we haven't seen each other anywhere else."
"Xiao Zhao, how affectionate you are."
"Confucius was right. Only women and villains are difficult to raise."
Listening to Ke Jianzhen and the other person bickering while picking vegetables, Nan Yi did not interrupt. There was no way to interrupt. The most feared thing in a quarrel or a fight is someone interfering. The more someone interferes, the more excited it becomes. If no one appreciates it, it will naturally end soon.
Pick vegetables, listen, look at the leaves and the sky.
The old couple's bickering lasted less than half a minute, not because they were having fun, but because Nan Wuwei, wearing the No. 10 Inter Milan jersey, walked out of the gate into the yard.
"Hey, is our Matthäus going to play football?" Nan Yi said with a smile when he saw Nan Wuwei.
Nan Wuwei walked behind Nan Yi and jumped onto his back, "Yeah, let's play at Juventus' home ground and get rid of that curly-haired Roberto Baggio."
"Haha, you little brat, you want to mess with Baggio? I'll take care of you first." Nan Yi stretched his hand back and pulled Nan Wuwei into his arms, scratching his armpits, "Tell me, Baggio is the god of war, he is invincible."
"Giggle, giggle, itchy...I won't tell you."
"If you don't tell me, I'll keep tickling you." As he said that, Nan Yi tickled him twice more.
"Nan Yi, put Wu Wei down."
Seeing Nan Yi's actions, Sun Muxi couldn't stand it anymore.
"You little brat, you have a backer now." Nan Yi scratched Nan Wuwei's nose, helped him up, and pulled his clothes.
“Hehe.” Nan Wuwei smiled slyly, stood up, and when he was out of Nan Yi’s attack range, he challenged Nan Yi again: “I’m going to beat Baqiao.”
"Just do it. Next time your mother beats you, I won't persuade her."
Nan Wuwei took Nan Yi's threat very seriously. The smile on his face collapsed. He walked back to Nan Yi and begged, "Dad, if you continue to persuade me, Mom will pinch my ears. It will hurt."
“You deserve it.”
Nan Yi said gloatingly, putting down the food in his hand, "Wait, I'll go wash my hands, and we'll go out for a walk."
"oh."
After washing his hands, Nan Yi followed Nan Wuwei to the street outside, strolled under the shade of the trees, and listened to the other party talk about every detail of his life in the past period of time, what he ate, what he played, who he met, what he learned, what TV and movies he watched, and so on, without getting tired of it.
In turn, Nan Yi would also tell the other party what he had been doing recently. Of course, he would filter out the local customs and habits of a certain place, what he had seen and heard, what business he had done, and why he was doing that business at that time.
Take a walk, Nan Wuwei treats him to popsicles, waits for Liu Zhen to come over to eat together, and then returns to Fang Mansion. Take a shower, lie on the bed, wait for Liu Zhen to slap his butt, Nan Yi immediately gets up and turns off the lights...
Nan Yi stayed in Shanghai for a week. During that time, he had a meal with Zhao Tianyang and Gu Dingsheng. The rest of the time, he hung out with Nan Wuwei, playing basketball, football, and skateboarding with him, seizing the time to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
A week later, Nan Yi made a detour from Xiangkeng, picked up the honorary consul's documents and credentials, and brought the school beauty and Tianxian, who had returned from Copenhagen after finishing their work, to the capital.
According to the usual procedure, the first meal was either eaten by himself or with Lai Biao and Chen Feng. Nan Yi couldn't stay in Beijing for long this time, so he shortened his schedule and called the two directly after getting off the plane.
Lai Biao said that his family was entertaining guests today, so he set the dinner at their house.
At half past six, I met Chen Feng at the door of Lai Biao's house. The two walked to the door together. "Hey, crazy guy, aren't you in charge of the business in Europe and Africa? Why are you here every time I come back?"
"Don't you know I'm a leader? I let my subordinates do things when there's work to do. Everyone is scrambling to go on a business trip to Europe. Africa isn't so good, but it's still a trip abroad. People who have never been there are still willing to rush to go." Chen Feng said disapprovingly.
"Yeah, I forgot you were the big boss."
"Don't give me that. No matter how big I am, I can't be as big as you. I tell you, you won't recognize Biaozi when you see him later."
"Isn't it just a trip to Tibet? Can I change my face...?"
Before Nan Yi finished speaking, a middle-aged black man who was suspected to be Lai Biao appeared in front of him. There was no need to doubt, because the person in front of him was Lai Biao, but Lai Biao, who had been stolen for more than 20 years, was dark-skinned and gray-haired.
"Hey, you went to Tibet, and I prepared millions of dollars worth of equipment for you, but why are you still so cowardly?"
"New! You didn't even prepare sunscreen for me." Lai Biao spat and welcomed Nan Yi and the others into the house. "It's a pity that you two didn't come with me. I gained a lot from this trip."
"I'll listen to your bragging later after I've got the wine ready." Chen Feng interrupted Lai Biao and sat down on the sofa.
Nan Yi followed and sat next to Chen Feng, "Where are the guests?"
"I'm helping Wen Wan cook in the kitchen. Lao Nan, it's just right that you came this time. If you didn't come, I would have to call you."
"What's up?"
"Private chat." Lai Biao pointed to the balcony.
"Fuck, you've forgotten your roots. What's wrong with me? Why are you still chatting alone?"
As Chen Feng complained, Nan Yi and Lai Biao walked to the balcony. Lai Biao leaned over to Nan Yi's ear and said, "The guest here is Wen Wan's good sister. Her husband works in real estate in Bincheng, the tertiary industry in the district. Two years ago, he built a property for old city renovation and made tens of millions in one go. Now, he has the idea of ​​restructuring."
"Public to private?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. Now the company has a half-finished project and wants to restructure. It needs a large sum of money to carry out the project."
"I understand." Nan Yi nodded, "Borrowing money, right? How much?"
"I don't ask you to borrow it, but I borrow it in your name."
Nan Yi spat, "It means that your money cannot be moved now. Tell me how much it is."
"15 million."
"Cross the bridge, or do you want to send a section?"
"One or two years."
"Okay, no problem." Nan Yi responded, "I have something to ask you. How does the other party know that you have the ability to come up with this money?"
"I'm not here to borrow money. It's not easy to get a loan from me." Lai Biao said calmly.
It is not easy to get a loan, so Wen Wan's face has to be given. Although Lai Biao did not say everything, Nan Yi still figured it out in his mind. Needless to say, this face was extraordinary.
"Got it. Don't mention it for a while. I'll have someone send the money over in a couple of days."
"Don't want to get involved?"
"The favors from others belong to you. I only keep your account. Let me tell you, there are many opportunities and the market is good now. In two years, I can add a zero to the end of 15 million and multiply it two or three times. You have made a lot of money by doing this favor."
"Come on, why don't you just say add two zeros?" Lai Biao pushed Nan Yi and said.
“It’s not impossible.”
"It's time to eat."
As they were talking, Wen Wan came over and asked them to eat.
"My sister-in-law is so virtuous. Lai Biao is lucky to have met you." Nan Yi said jokingly as soon as he saw Wen Wan.
Nan Yi called Wen Wan sister-in-law, but Lai Biao was not happy about it. "You are the one who calls me sister-in-law. You should call me sister-in-law."
"Brother Nan Yi, don't pay attention to him. Just call me sister-in-law. Let's go over and have dinner." Wen Wan smiled generously at Nan Yi.
"Okay, let's eat."
Nan Yi followed Wen Wan to the dining room and immediately saw a woman sitting at the table. She was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, of average appearance, with a good temperament. There was an unusual confidence between her brows and cheeks, which was very consistent with the rule that people are divided into groups.
"Si Ning, let me introduce you. This is Lai Biao's college classmate Nan Yi. They are very good brothers." Wen Wan walked to the table and said to the woman: "Brother Nan Yi, this is Lin Si Ning, my good sister, who is a few years older than me."
"Hello, Ms. Lin."
"Brother Nan Yi, just call her Sister Si Ning. Why call her Madam?" Nan Yi called her Madam Lin, but Wen Wan disagreed and quickly interrupted him.
"Haha, Sister Si Ning sounds too ambiguous, I'd better call you Sister Lin." Nan Yi smiled and said to Lin Si Ning: "Sister Lin, just call me Nan Yi."
"Hello, Nan Yi."
Lin Si Ning extended her hand to Nan Yi gracefully, thinking to herself, "I've never heard of a family with the surname Nan. I guess they changed their surname."
Nan Yi stretched out his hand and shook Lin Si Ning's hand, muttering to himself: "This name is from Bincheng again. It is very likely that her husband is Wang Jiansen. It is a small world."
Nan Yi has seen a lot of richest people, from the richest man in the village to the richest man in the city, and from one country to the world. He has long been numb to all kinds of past, present and future tenses. Seeing a not-so-ordinary wife of a richest man no longer causes any ripples.
As soon as Nan Yi and Lin Si Ning let go of each other, Chen Feng came over. Wen Wan introduced Chen Feng to Lin Si Ning again. After the greetings were over, Wen Wan ran to the wine cabinet to get two whites and a red, put them on the table, and said cheerfully: "You men drink whites, and we women drink reds."
The three men including Nan Yi would not have any objections. Since the day when the three of them were able to sit together and drink, no women had ever joined in. They were used to talking serious things in the first half and some dirty talk in the second half.
Lai Biao picked up a bottle of wine, opened it, and poured wine for Nan Yi and the other person. He first said some polite words to make Lin Sining feel at home, and then the table was divided into two small circles of three and two.
With outsiders present, the three of them did not discuss any sensitive topics. They just talked about something bland, and the drinking party ended faster than usual.
A little after eight o'clock, Nan Yi and Chen Feng kicked off first, and when Lin Sining left, she had a relaxed smile on her face.
The day Nan Yi arrived in Beijing was Monday, and he had supper with Wang Lu and his group on Tuesday. On Wednesday, at seven in the morning, Gong Xue sent Nan Yi to the train station.
Every Wednesday, the day when the K3 train departs, the Beijing Railway Station is always crowded with people . The traders are like fleeing, carrying a bag on their shoulders, a bag under their arms, two bags in their hands, and the more powerful ones even carry one on their backs.
If you bring anything to the Soviet Union, you can get at least three times the return. If you can bring some scarce materials, it is not impossible to earn seventy or eighty times the return. The profit is so huge that anyone would try their best to bring it.
Nowadays, there is a popular saying among the traders in Moscow - trade ten thousand, which means that you can earn ten thousand for one trip to Moscow, and if you can bring something back, you can add another five thousand.
Go for a week, come back for a week, and if you are tired enough, you can make two trips a month and put 20,000 yuan in your pocket.
As soon as Nan Yi and his four companions appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the dealers. Each of them had only an M1941 backpack on their backs, which looked like the weight would not exceed 20 kilograms. They also had a net bag in their hands, which was filled with food and drinks. The dealers thought to themselves, what a bunch of prodigals, it would be better if they brought more goods.
Let me put it this way, everyone who takes the K3 train basically carries several large bags, and it is rare to see someone carrying only one bag. Even if they are not profiteers, this is the same. If they carry one or two bags for others, they can get their train ticket money back.
After waiting for a long time on the platform and waiting for all the traders to get on the train, Nan Yi and his group finally boarded the carriage they were going to take.
There were many packages and snakeskin bags taking up space in the aisle of the carriage. Nan Yi stood at the door for a while, waiting for the aisle to be clear before he walked towards the door of his own compartment.
Nan Yi and his three companions booked a high-end box, which had two beds in one box. One bed was for Nan Yi and Huzai, and the other two were for School Beauty and Tianxian. Their box was at the entrance of the box.
After entering the compartment, Nan Yi put his bag and net bag on the floor and looked around the compartment. There was a soft sleeper with upper and lower berths on the left, and a single sofa by the window on the right. The aisle in the middle was very narrow and people had to walk sideways.
There is a door on the right wall. When you open it, you see a bathroom. There is a flush toilet in the left corner and a cabinet next to it. Toiletries are placed on the cabinet, including toothpaste, toothbrush and shampoo. There is also a shower head hanging on the wall. You don't have to worry about your clothes getting smelly during the six-day and six-night journey.
The bathroom is shared by two connected private rooms, and there is a door that leads to another private room. The door is ajar. Through the gap in the door, Nan Yi sees a pair of raised calves in stockings, and the wider soft sofa bed under the legs.
Judging from a single glimpse, the woman should be lying on the bed, holding a magazine in her hand, with earphones in her ears, and there should be only one bed in the box.
Out of politeness, Nan Yi left the bathroom and locked the door on his side.
The tiger cub had already opened the two bags and took out various outdoor cooking utensils from them. Nan Yi stepped forward to help open the two net bags and took out fruits, vegetables, cooked food, meat, self-heating rice, canned meat, etc.
After a while, the two school beauties knocked on the door of their private room and brought over the food they had brought with them.
The four of them brought enough food to last them nine days, which would be enough to last them a month if they followed the standards for surviving in the wild.
"There is a single woman living next door to us. The danger level is extremely low." The school beauty said after putting her things down.
"Same here, also a female, the risk level has not been assessed."
Nan Yi replied, taking out a plastic bag and opening it, then taking out the shredded pork tenderloin.
He opened the window, lit the stove, put on the frying pan, heated the pan and poured in oil. After tinkering with it for twenty minutes, Nan Yi finally made the topping. He took a spoon and scooped it into four plates that were already filled with noodles. Four servings of mixed cold noodles were ready.
The school beauty carried two plates back to her box. Nan Yi and Tiger Cub sat opposite each other. Nan Yi took out two garlic cloves and peeled two garlic cloves. He then used a knife to slice a few slices of Iberian ham, took out a red sausage and chopped it a few times. He opened a bag of braised food that had been made into a platter, divided the ham, red sausage and braised food into two parts, and asked Tiger Cub to give one portion to the school beauty and the others.
After the tiger cub returned, Nan Yi started to eat noodles with garlic. During the journey, especially on the train, the conditions were really limited, so he couldn't be too picky and just eat simply with just one bite.
After dinner, Tianxian came over to collect the dishes and took them to the sink to wash. When Nan Yi went to the bathroom to rinse his mouth, he saw that the door of the bathroom opposite was still ajar. He couldn't help but wonder who the woman next door was.
Speaking of the K3 train, Nan Yi's most vivid memory was the robbery that occurred in May 1993, but he forgot the exact date. He knew about this incident thanks to a movie, which he saw in a video hall in 1995 or 1996.
Because the movie ended with an interlude, I had been itching to watch it for a long time, so I didn't watch it seriously. I can't remember the detailed plot, and I only vaguely remember a few wonderful scenes of the heroine.
I can't remember the entire title of the film. I still remember the three words "Big Robbery". Reasoning that there should also be the word "Train", as for the other several words, I can't remember them at all.
Knowing that there was a big robbery, and that Nan's goods were still on the move, Nan Yi was concerned about the conditions of the roads and railways to Moscow, and he had been paying attention to the reports of the Cossack Action Group.
The K3 train passes through three countries. When in China, Chinese train police will be sent on board to protect the safety of the passengers. At the last stop before leaving the country, Chinese train police will get off the train. At the first stop in Mongolia, Mongolian police will get on the train. The same thing will happen when it reaches Soviet revisionist territory.
If the police from the three countries had always performed their duties faithfully, the train would still be relatively safe. Unfortunately, apart from the Chinese police who were always dedicated, the Mongolian police were intermittently slacking off, and the Soviet revisionists were occasionally diligent, which gave the bandits an opportunity to take advantage.
As stated in the report of the Cossack Action Team, the K3 train has not been peaceful in recent years. Theft, robbery, rape and other incidents have occurred from time to time, but the situation has never become serious. Moreover, most of the time, they target illegal immigrants from Hu Jian and Zhejiang Province, and have not caused much impact, so they have not been severely cracked down.
In addition, the criminals understand that they cannot fleece the passengers all at once, so they will leave some money for the passengers to go home after each robbery, thinking that they can earn tens of thousands of yuan in one trip. Most of the traffickers choose to consider themselves unlucky and keep quiet.
Speaking of rape, many female victims feel that being raped is not a glorious thing and usually will not take the initiative to tell others. Those who know the truth will often help to cover it up. This leads to the topic of "rape" being classified as extremely unreliable along with opening lines such as "I have a neighbor", "I have a relative", and "I have a friend" .
People who take this route and the K3 train must have heard of this kind of thing. It's hard to say whether the woman next door is so casual because she is stupid or reckless.
After coming out of the bathroom, Nan Yi looked at the scenery outside the window for a while, then sat on the sofa and read a book.
After Tianxian came back from washing the dishes, she stayed in Nan Yi's box and exchanged positions with Hucui, while Hucui left the box and wandered around the train.
The first day passed uneventfully. In the early morning of the second day, the train entered Mongolia. At Zamyn-Uud Station, Mongolian inspectors boarded the train and checked every corner of the train. Mongolian police took over the safety of the train.
At six o'clock in the morning, after Nan Yi got up and washed up, Tiger Cub reported to him: "In the early morning, a Mongolian police lieutenant named Douge Suomin came and conveyed Mr. Qinggertai's greetings. He also brought us a pistol and a gun license."
Nan Yi nodded and held out his hand to Tiger Cub, who handed him a Beretta 92G with three magazines. Nan Yi took it, checked the gun, unloaded the bullets from the magazine, checked each one, and pressed them back into the magazine.
He took off his coat, put on the armpit holster, put on his coat, and simulated the movements of drawing, loading, and shooting in various positions, including standing, sitting, and lying. After he had figured out a more comfortable set of movements, Nan Yi followed the tiger cub out the door and walked towards the dining car.
He walked out of the premium carriage, crossed the soft sleeper carriage, and immediately came to the dining car. He picked an empty seat and sat down. Nan Yi had just taken out the cans of pickles he had brought with him when a woman came to the table next to the aisle. She looked familiar. She was the female neighbor he had met twice the day before.
Seeing the woman's gaze coming towards him, Nan Yi nodded to her, then looked at another table, where a Chinese and a man with obvious Mongolian features were bartering goods. After watching for a while, he looked at another table, where several traders with Beijing accents were discussing business.
Among the traders who are now heading to the Soviet revisionists, the largest number are from Zhejiang Province, but because of the region and accent, there is often a small group in one county; the Hujian people are the second, but more than half of them are preparing to transfer from the Soviet revisionists to other countries, their identities cannot withstand investigation, and they are relatively low-key;
People from Beijing come second, but most of them love to talk and can easily get along with others. When you see a Beijing trader, there are often several around him. At first glance, one would have the illusion that all the people in the car are from Beijing.
Soon, the waiter came over with a tray. Nan Yi, who had just looked around half of the carriage, looked away and ate porridge with pickles.
The train continued to run, and when it stopped in Ulaanbaatar at noon, Nan Yi went down the platform to move around for a while. When he returned to the train, there was a group of people following him - a team from the Cossack Action Group.
The next stop after Ulaanbaatar is Sukhbaatar, which is the last stop in Mongolia. Because of the exit inspection, the train stops for a longer time. Moreover, after passing through a large uninhabited area, the train arrives at Naushki, the first stop to enter the Soviet revisionist zone.
There was another immigration inspection. After more than three hours of stopping, the train started again. Nan Yi did not see any policeman get on the train. It must be that someone wanted to go hunting on this train.
When the train passed Ulan-Ude and entered Irkutsk, it was noon, the sun was shining, and the temperature dropped below zero. The soft and hard sleeper carriages were bustling with activity. Ropes were pulled up on the aisle windows, and small objects were hung on the ropes, like merchandise in a shop window, displayed to the customers on the tracks.
The car window was rolled down a crack, and stacks of money were handed into the car with difficulty from outside. After the dealer counted the money, he handed out down jackets, leather jackets and other goods.
There were a lot of people and it was very chaotic. Some people collected the money but did not deliver the goods, while others delivered the goods but did not collect the money. Some took advantage while others suffered losses. During the short stop in Irkutsk, the K3 train generated a large trade surplus.
The next stop of the train is Krasnoyarsk, which is very far away, more than a thousand kilometers. It needs to cross a large section of uninhabited area in Siberia, and the arrival time is just after three o'clock in the morning of the next day.
After enjoying the "through-the-window" trade in Irkutsk, Nan Yi returned to his box. Tiger Cub was still wandering outside and did not return until after three o'clock in the afternoon. He reported to Nan Yi what the traders were trading and told him that some people who were suspected to be bandits were found in several boxes.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Nan Yi started cooking early. He cooked the few remaining fresh vegetables and asked Tianxian to deliver them to the members of the Cossack Action Team first. Half of the beef sent from Ulaanbaatar was used to make beef soup, and the other half was fried into steak. The dinner was very meaty and oily, and Nan Yi and his friends ate pickles to relieve the greasiness.
After having a full meal, Nan Yi looked up through the car window to admire the stars in the sky for a while. Next door, the sounds of doors opening and closing were heard, as well as faint sounds of chatting. After a long time, clear arias rose and fell, declaring happiness to the world.
There was a knock on the door of the private room. Tiger Cub opened the door a crack, and a hand touched his face. He turned his head to avoid it, and an awkward Mandarin voice rang out, "You are so beautiful."
"Thank you, I don't need it." The tiger cub replied and closed the door of the box.
"What's going on?" Nan Yi, who was reading a book, asked without raising his head.
"For those who deal in sex, one leather jacket at a time."
“It’s quite expensive.”
Mumbling, Nan Yi continued to flip through the book in his hand.
A few minutes later, a joyful shrill sound pierced the wall of the box. After a while, the door of the bathroom next door was opened, and a messy sound was heard in the bathroom. A whiff of smoke came through the crack in the door into Nan Yi and his friends' box.
"In my box...my friend...come over and sit down, let's have a drink..."
The voice of the man next door was partially obscured by the noise of the train, but based on the part heard alone, a lot of things could be analyzed - the woman and the man next door were a pair of illicit lovers who met on the train, and the man invited the woman to his box for a drink and chat, and there were a few other friends in the box.
More than two hours passed and Nan Yi felt a little sleepy. He put down his book, took a towel and a toothbrush and went to the school beauties' private room. The bathroom in his private room had been used by that man, so who knows if there was any rich protein left in it.
After washing up, Nan Yi walked out of the school beauties' box and saw a woman in the aisle holding onto the wall of the car, stumbling towards her box. Her hair and clothes were messy, and there were still black tear marks in the corners of her eyes.
Nan Yi saw the woman, and the woman also saw Nan Yi. A look of panic appeared on her face, and her staggering steps quickened a bit. She turned the door of her box, fell in, and slammed it shut with a clang.
"Looking for excitement, now you are satisfied, right?"
After muttering in his heart, Nan Yi walked into his own box, took off his clothes and lay on the bed. From the bathroom came the sound of splashing water, mixed with crying.
"Wake me up at half past twelve."
"Nansheng, there's no need to go so early. The robbers will probably start around two o'clock."
"It's better to get up early. It's impolite to greet guests in untidy clothes." After replying, Nan Yi closed his eyes.
Nan Yi and his companions were in a premium carriage, which was more than twice as expensive as a hard sleeper. If the criminals took action, they would definitely visit their carriage.
Time passed, and at half past twelve, Nan Yi, who was awakened, opened the lid of the thermos, felt the temperature with the palm of his hand, and found it was not hot enough, so he lit the fire and poured the water in the thermos into the kettle. After the water boiled, he turned off the fire, waited for the water temperature to drop a little, and brewed himself a cup of Longjing tea.
Drink tea while waiting.
When Nan Yi drank the third cup of tea, the tiger cub took out his signal receiver from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Buzz, buzz, the signal receiver vibrated rhythmically.
"The box, the aisle, the curtains, are marked..." Tiger Cub translated for Nan Yi while listening to the noise, "Nansheng, the robbers' spies have already made corresponding marks in the aisle of the box they want to rob, but there are none in our carriage."
"We don't need to put up a sign here, everyone will come here."
Nan Yi pulled the gun out from under his armpit, pulled the slide, checked whether the bullet was loaded, installed the silencer, and placed the gun in the most convenient position.
At 2:17, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and it sounded like there were several people.
At 2:21, the lock of Nan Yi's box, which had been locked, began to turn. Nan Yi grabbed the gun, flicked the safety with his finger, and pointed the gun at the box door.
