The train was driving southward in the wilderness. Fang Wei, who was sitting on the train, looked out the window - the sun was rising in the sky, colorful, dyeing the earth golden; the rolling mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist,

It disappears and appears sometimes, like a fairyland; the smoke from the cooking pots floats over the village like white blossoms.

Clouds wander slowly; flocks of birds surround the village, flying around, hovering in the sky, chirping, as if calling people who get up early to go work in the fields; the fields are lush green, and under the sun, wheat seedlings follow

The wind rises and falls, like the waves of the sea, stretching as far as the eye can see.

In the carriage, the different voices of the passengers seemed to be very fresh. The cries of the train attendants pushing the trolleys, the chatter of passengers, and the noise of children made it a noisy mess, a bit like a rural market. Some of them had just woken up and were sleepy.

The people who were still there were carrying washing utensils and dragging their tired bodies towards the train bathroom. The turbid air in the carriage made people feel a little breathless.

Fang Wei stood up, walked to the junction of the carriages, lit a cigarette and started smoking, and was puffing away leisurely. Suddenly, the conductor shouted: "The tickets have been checked, the tickets have been checked, please take the tickets."

come out."

Fang Wei took out his ticket and handed it to the conductor who walked up to him. She took a look and returned the ticket to him.

At that time, management was relatively lax, not as strict as it is now. It was easy to get on the train without a ticket.

Before the train reaches the end, tickets have to be checked several times. When the tickets are checked, people who have not bought tickets hide in the toilet, lie under the seats, or use other methods to hide in order to avoid being found out.

past.

There are also some unlucky ones who were caught and went to make up their tickets obediently. When making up the tickets, no matter which station you get on the train from, even if you only go to one station, the fare will be calculated from the departure station.

There are always some people in society who have a sense of luck and want to get some light in everything they do. They regard other people's tolerance and kindness as fools, and they don't want to pay for taking a train.

Most of the people who got on the train were short-distance travelers who took two or three stops. There were also some people who really didn't have money to buy tickets.

It is easy to find out if you don't have a ticket, and you will be taken to the dining car to replace the ticket and be reprimanded. The result is that after sitting for two or three stops and buying a long-distance ticket, it is both embarrassing and conspicuous, and the gain outweighs the loss.

"Go quickly, go quickly." A young man in his twenties walked past Fang Wei, sandwiched between several conductors.

Fang Wei looked along the sound and met the young man's eyes. He blushed, lowered his head in embarrassment, and was pushed forward.

Fang Wei looked up and down at this young man who was about the same age as him - his clothes were shabby but very clean, and his fair and clean face revealed an embarrassment of being inexperienced and immature. A pair of big eyes, bright and dull,

So ashamed.

When their eyes met, Fang Wei felt sad because of his helpless and overwhelmed expression.

Fang Wei felt an indescribable feeling as he looked at the young man being pushed forward by the conductor. Judging from the young man's clothes, he came from the countryside to work.

Fang Wei knew that most rural people were from poor families and their survival was a problem. They had no money to buy tickets.

Fang Wei recalled that he was also born in a farming family and was well aware of the hardships of rural life. He also knew that rural people were timid and fearful and would not refuse to buy tickets unless they had to.

Fang Wei kept watching the young man disappear at the other end of the carriage. He was still looking thoughtfully at the direction in which he disappeared.

At this time, several young people came from another carriage and stood in the middle of the aisle. They glanced at both sides of the carriage slyly, then approached a sleeping passenger, skillfully reached into the sleeping passenger's pocket, and took out a bag.

He picked up the stuff and quickly put it into his trouser pocket.

Then, he got up and looked for his next prey. Behind him were several people, who seemed to be part of a group, and almost stole all the people sleeping in the carriage.

People generally believe that thieves steal things behind people's backs to prevent others from discovering them. The behavior of this group of people today is beyond people's understanding. They stole things openly and without any scruples in front of everyone. This is simply

It's open robbery.

These young men, tall and thick-set, with fierce looks, calmed the people in the carriage. The passengers around them looked at them expressionlessly. When they met the fierce looks, they quickly turned their faces away, maybe

I was so frightened by these guys that I didn't even have the courage to look at them, and I didn't dare to speak out loud.

Fang Wei was about 1.8 meters tall, and his eyes showed firmness and confidence. He saw the thieves stealing recklessly, and he couldn't help but feel angry because he had learned martial arts for several years. He secretly thought: It's so lawless.

Dare to treat all the passengers in the carriage as lambs to be slaughtered in broad daylight. The more Fang Wei thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but feel "anger rising in his heart", and he grew evil.

When several thieves passed by, he saw the right opportunity and suddenly grabbed the wrist of one of them, like a leader, and pulled him hard, saying, "You guys are so lawless that you dare to steal in public. Get rid of the thieves quickly."

Return the food to others, otherwise, you will have to carry around without food."

The thief was stunned when he caught him. It didn't take him two seconds to react. Seeing that Fang Wei was alone, he didn't pay attention to him at all. He immediately showed a fierce look and said viciously: "You don't want to live anymore, how dare you interfere with my business."

, loosen your hands quickly, otherwise, your life will be in danger."

This group of thieves has been stealing on trains for a while, and they have never encountered anyone as bold as Fang Wei who dared to challenge them. Occasionally, they have encountered resistance and nosy people, and they have struggled a few times.

, or say a few words and then become silent, and the result will be a beating.

Generally, people who go out by train do not know each other. Once they encounter unexpected difficulties, most of them will not help. Therefore, it only encourages the arrogance of the bad guys.

Thieves can achieve their goals by forming gangs, relying on the strength of their numbers, bluffing, striking first, and then using ruthlessness.

This group of thieves has been stealing on trains for a long time and has accumulated experience; by taking advantage of the large number of people, they can show off their knives when necessary, show a fierce look, and shout loudly, "People who stand in the way kill people, and Buddha who stands in the way kills Buddha" can scare people.

Come on. If they really want to kill people, they don't have the guts.

People who travel do not want to cause trouble. Thieves take advantage of people's cowardice and try to look like murderous evil gods, so people will naturally stay away.

These guys had never met anyone who dared to block their way of making money, and they dared to teach them a lesson. They suddenly became furious. Several thieves approached Fang Wei and shouted loudly: "You kid doesn't want to live anymore, how dare you take care of it?"

As for me, I have to skin you today."

Several passengers standing next to Fang Wei were so frightened that they dispersed when they saw the thief's menacing appearance.

The leading thief was pinched by the wrist by Fang Wei, unable to move. One of the thieves punched Fang Wei in the face. Fang Wei raised his left arm and blocked the attack. At the same time, he grabbed the leading thief.

As soon as he exerted force with his right hand, the boy was in unbearable pain, grinning and knelt down on the spot.

The thief thought to himself, let alone hitting others. Judging from the strength with which he reached out to grab his wrist, he encountered a tough situation today. A good man will not suffer the loss in front of him. He will give in first and then beg for mercy. He kept begging for mercy; "Brother, please be gentle."

Son, it hurts me so much, I have something to say, I have something to say."

When several of his accomplices saw their boss kneeling down to beg for mercy, they were stunned and didn't know what to do. Fang Wei pointed at the thief who had stolen something and said, "Give him back the stolen money and apologize, and I will let him go.

I’ll give you a way out, otherwise, I’ll hand you over to the police, do you believe it or not?”

After saying that, he applied more force with his right hand. The leader who was kneeling on the ground turned pale in pain. He turned back to his accomplice and said, "Did you fucking hear that? Go quickly and do as the elder brother said.

Do it. Brother, I admit my mistake, can you let go?"

Fang Wei held his hand and didn't let go. He watched as he returned the stolen things to the passengers, then let him go and said, "Get out of here, why don't you hurry up and get the reward?"

The guy stood up from the ground, rubbed his wrists with his hands a few times, shook his almost numb arms, clasped his hands in his fists and said, "Brother, you're welcome, we'll see you later."

After saying that, he led several of his accomplices away, some of whom were unconvinced. From time to time, they turned back and looked at Fang Wei fiercely, murmuring something in their mouths.

Fang Wei watched them leave and thought, it was dangerous just now, the space in the carriage is small, if he really takes action, he may not be able to take advantage, and he may also be injured.

In that era, all trains were basically green steam trains with many stops, chaotic management, and many thieves on the trains.

Thieves have unwritten rules and cannot cross the line. For example, there are many trains running between coastal cities, and each train has a fixed gang. Other thieves are not allowed to get on the train to steal. If there is a line that crosses the line, it must be resolved through negotiation.

, or fight.

Of course, there are also unruly ones. Wealthy areas have many lines, large passenger flow, and rich people, so naturally there are more jealous thieves. It is common for foreign gangs and local gangs to often fight each other.

Some gangs that have the strength to fight and kill, and those that rely on their strength to seize other people's territory, will soon be driven away by those who are more brutal than them. The thief industry is the real jungle society. It relies on fists to speak and force.

He is the king.

"Passengers who need a meal, please come to the dining car to dine." The shout of the dining car waiter recalled Fang Wei's thoughts and awakened his hungry stomach. He felt a little hungry.

Fang Wei returned to his seat, took the clothes hanging on the hooks, put on his coat, said hello to his neighbor, and walked to the dining car.

There were so many passengers on this train, and there were many people without seats standing in the aisles. It took a lot of effort for Fang Wei to squeeze through several carriages and reach the dining car.

Fang Wei walked into the dining car and took a look. There were not many people dining. He found an empty seat to sit down and picked up the menu. At this time, there were intermittent scoldings. Fang Wei thought it was a quarrel and didn't pay attention. He continued to watch.

menu.

A person at the table next to Fang Wei asked his companion: "What bad thing did that guy do? The police have been reprimanding him."

His companion answered him, "I don't know. They were there when we came. How about I go and see what's going on?"

The person at the next table said, "Don't go. It has nothing to do with us. Don't ask for trouble, cause trouble and delay our schedule."

Out of curiosity, Fang Wei stood up, pretended to take a meal, walked to the bar of the dining car and stood there, listening to what they were saying.

Fang Wei heard the train policeman reprimanding loudly: "You are young and you are not afraid of embarrassment. Why don't you buy a ticket when taking the train?"

The man remained silent and lowered his head. No matter how much the train police reprimanded him, he just didn't speak. The policeman got even angrier and slapped the table and loudly said, "As for you, why don't you answer?"

"I have no money, I can't afford a ticket." The young man raised his head slightly and whispered.
