067: I Was Caught Off Guard by the Little Hand

It was not convenient to travel far in '83.

Shangdu and Yangcheng are separated by more than 1,000 kilometers. There is not necessarily one direct bus between the two places every day. However, Yangcheng is a big city in the south, and Shangdu is the central railway hub. In addition to direct trains, there are also passing trains whose originating station is not Shangdu.

The railway transportation in Shangdu is very developed, but there is no train station in Anqing County.

The distance between Anqing County and Shangdu is close. If there is a train between the two, Xia Xiaolan can easily re-sell things. How can they rely on bicycles? Short-distance train tickets are not expensive, but long-distance train tickets are more expensive!

Zhou Cheng drove Xia Xiaolan to Shangdu very quickly. As the central railway hub of the Central Plains, Shangdu Railway Station was of course shabby compared to the large railway stations of later generations, but the crowded crowd would only be worse than later generations. In another 30 years, people will choose to travel in more diverse ways, with developed roads, high ownership of private cars, and cheap air tickets to provide convenience and ease for long-distance travel.

Zhou Cheng asked Kang Wei to stay in the car, and he and Xia Xiaolan made a pit stop.

Crowding trains with big and small bags, dragging households with mouths, squawking with wings and feet, spraying feces on the ground from time to time...or some unlucky person's shoes. Quarrel, foolishly pushing forward, being cheated, trying to steal, anything can happen in the train station, and there are all kinds of strange smells gathered here - poultry, sweat, the smell of old smoking guns, The sourness of carrying pickles with her, Xia Xiaolan held her breath.

Zhou Cheng protected her, afraid that she would be taken advantage of by the thieves and gangsters at the train station, and worried that she would be slipped by the peel on the ground and squeezed into the ticket hall, it was almost November, and she was sweating.

Someone hugged the child and squeezed past Xia Xiaolan, and her stocky figure almost knocked her over.

Xia Xiaolan stumbled, and Zhou Cheng supported her arm.

"Follow me, don't lose it!"

It was originally holding the arm, but naturally it became holding the hand.

Xia Xiaolan's hand is not considered to be pampered, delicate and boneless, but Zhou Cheng has never held the hands of other girls, so he has no way to compare. He only knew that his hand could wrap Xia Xiaolan's little hand, and the hand felt very good. His whole body was floating in the air... The surrounding environment was noisy and chaotic, and Zhou Cheng could hear his heartbeat in the noise.

Dong, dong, dong dong dong... This sound is like a snare drum, the drum beats are getting more and more dense, and Zhou Cheng is dazzled by the explosion.

The senses in other parts of the body were blurred and weakened, and the only thing that stood out was the hand he and Xia Xiaolan were holding.

Zhou Cheng, who can calm down when the shell explodes in front of him, at this moment, is controlled by the adrenaline secreted by his body - what is love? Zhou Cheng didn't know, but Zhou Cheng felt that he was captured by supreme joy.

Just holding hands.

Not just holding hands.

His palms were sweaty, Xia Xiaolan was a little unnatural, Zhou Cheng's movements were so generous, so Zhou Cheng was nervous?

Realizing this, Xia Xiaolan also changed from calm to nervous.

She has no mental age, and is not an old driver in the relationship between men and women. The few relationships before her rebirth ended without a problem. She just liked it, and Xia Xiaolan herself was also very unfamiliar. Zhou Cheng was not timid, and seized the opportunity to hold hands decisively, but he was so nervous that his palms were sweating, bold and innocent?

Which one is Zhou Cheng, Xia Xiaolan also had a strange feeling in her heart.

Zhou Cheng pulled her into the ticket office, "Comrade, can I still buy a train ticket to Yangcheng today?"

"Shangdu goes to Yangcheng? Tickets are available at 6 pm. Bring the letter of introduction."

Xia Xiaolan was about to take the letter of introduction, but the hand held by Zhou Cheng moved, Zhou Cheng was very reluctant to let it go, and felt a sense of loss.

The ticket seller handed over Xia Xiaolan's letter of introduction, "A hard seat ticket is 25 yuan and 6 cents."

"No sleeper?"

It takes more than 30 hours to go from Shangdu to Yangcheng. The hard seat is too painful. Zhou Cheng wants Xia Xiaolan to be more comfortable on the road.

The ticket window was crowded, and the conductor was not good-tempered: "There are only hard seats, do you want it? If you don't, the next one!"

sleeper?

Railway resources are very tight these days, and there are not too many sleeper positions on each train. It doesn't matter if you want to buy sleeper tickets.

"Comrade, please have a hard seat."

Xia Xiaolan directly handed the money into the window.

The hard seat has been better than she expected. For more than 30 hours, people who are in a hurry are willing to buy standing tickets! Standing tickets are much cheaper than hard seats. Xia Xiaolan’s buying a hard seat to go to Yangcheng is already a very extravagant act… A ticket is 25.6 yuan, which covers most of the average worker’s salary!

The conductor took the money and handed Xia Xiaolan a ticket.

Zhou Cheng didn't say anything, the ambiguous atmosphere just now was unpredictable, and he protected Xia Xiaolan out of the station again.

The train station was complicated, and Kang Wei didn't leave the truck even a single step.

"Have you bought a ticket?"

"To the hard seat in Yangcheng, the car at 6 o'clock in the afternoon has more than two hours to drive."

Why did you buy a hard seat?

Kang Wei and Zhou Cheng have a tacit understanding. He put his hand on his stomach: "Fortunately, you are back. Looking at the car, I want to go to the toilet."

Kang Wei disappeared, leaving Xia Xiaolan and Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng opened the door of the driver's license, "Xiaolan, get in the car too, I have something for you."

Zhou Cheng showed Xia Xiaolan a small flashlight.

This flashlight is different from those large metal flashlights with batteries. It is more compact and delicate. The high-grade black plastic shell and square appearance make it look full of technology.

"This is?"

No, is there such a thing now?

Xia Xiaolan had a guess that Zhou Cheng did not give her the flashlight immediately, but showed her how to hype:

"There are two buttons here. The green one is normal light when pressed, and the red one is high-voltage current. It directly touches human skin and can stun an adult within three seconds... Remember to fully charge it after using it."

What kind of flashlight is this, it's clearly an electric shocker!

It is already very similar to the self-defense electric shock device of later generations in Xia Xiaolan's impression!

Is the current technology so advanced? Xia Xiaolan's surprise did not hide.

Zhou Cheng thought it was scaring her, "Don't be afraid, hold the handle and use it, you won't be electrocuted."

Of course, this thing is not a civilian technology, and Zhou Cheng needs a lot of relationship to get it. Even if the equipment retired by the military can be piled up in the warehouse and become moldy, it is absolutely not acceptable to stray outside.

In 1983, the militiamen in Anqing County might still be equipped with firearms and weapons, but the public security officers of the provincial department would not be rationing such electric shocks, and the electric shock baton with a similar principle is more familiar in China. It's too obvious to have an electric shock baton on her body. If Xia Xiaolan keeps holding it in her hand, she will be the first suspicious person to be interrogated by the public security.

Xia Xiaolan held the small electric shocker in her hand, it was Zhou Cheng's heavy heart.

"The Shanghai Stock Exchange opened the first paging desk this summer. There is a tool for instant contact. It is as small as a cigarette box. If the service desk is also opened on the southern side of Henan, we can contact at any time... …”

Does the Shanghai stock market already have pagers? !
