Lu Ye himself didn't expect that this matter would be handled surprisingly smoothly.

And this price is simply pitiful for Lu Ye.

Maybe in the eyes of others, a monthly toll of 5,000 yuan is already a sky-high price. After all, in this era, the monthly salary of ordinary people is only about 100 yuan, but in Lu Ye's view, this is simply cheap.

Like cabbage.

Different individuals have different visions and naturally have different ideas.

Lu Ye took Kang Jian and the first thing he did was to spend a lot of money to install a phone line in the house he rented.

Fortunately, the house they rented was relatively close to the First Department Store, so they did not need to use too long lines. The initial installation fee only cost 2,400 yuan. Including the fixed phone, the total cost was almost 3,000 yuan.

In the future, every time you make a call, you will still have to pay a communication fee of 60 cents per minute. If it is a long-distance call, it will be even more expensive.

After installing the phone, Lu Ye ran to the printing shop, secretly stuffed some money and got a batch of business cards.

After half a month of preparation, the transportation company was basically formed and began to collect business.

Lu Ye and Kang Jian ran to the No. 1 Department Store, and they went from stall to stall handing out business cards and promoting themselves eloquently.

At the end of the morning, my mouth was dry and my tongue was dry, but no one in the family could finish the conversation.

Lu Ye and Kang Jian were sitting outside the First Department Store, smoking cigarettes.

"Brother Ye, this won't work. It's been all morning and we haven't settled down with the whole family. When I went over and said it was from the freight company, these people shook their heads and said no. It made me look like a thief." Kang Jian said blatantly.

, he was scolded by several merchants and was left disgraced.

"If we can't talk, we have to talk. Now they are scolding us because they don't believe us. The last time they shipped goods, they deposited a lot of money to separate people and goods. What they are most worried about is the group of cargo owners, so they would rather

You can carry the big bags yourself and we don’t need to transport them.”

Lu Ye smoked a cigarette and kept analyzing in his mind. This morning, Lu Ye chatted with more than a dozen people and summarized the experience he gained.

After thinking for a while, Lu Ye said: "Go to the provincial capital! Let's set off tonight!"

Throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand, Lu Ye stood up. This was not a sudden decision he made, but it was part of his original plan to build a cargo station in the provincial capital.

Since Luan City has hit a wall, let's go to the provincial capital first to see if there is any breakthrough.

"Okay, I'll buy a ticket first, then go home and tidy up. I'll see you at the train station tonight." Kang Jian also became cruel. Now that he has lost his shares in the recycling station, he is completely counting on this freight company. If he doesn't start working, what will happen to Kang Jian?

There was nothing left, which he couldn't accept.

In a hurry, Lu Ye and Kang Jian boarded the train to the provincial capital.

Luancheng is not close to the provincial capital, more than 450 kilometers away. There is only one train a day, which leaves at 7:10 pm. It takes all night and does not arrive until around 9 am the next day.

Arrive at the provincial capital Harbin.

The train from the provincial capital to Luancheng departs at 8:05 pm, heads all the way east, and arrives at around 10:00 the next day.

And this is not accurate. In this era, trains are often delayed and delayed.

Sometimes it happens for a few hours at night.

Almost every carriage is overcrowded, and some people hide under the seats in order to evade fares and stay there all night long.

Even the toilet is the same. Once the train is about to arrive at the station, the train crew will lock the toilet door in advance to prevent fare evaders from hiding inside.

At this time, soft sleeper tickets were difficult to obtain. They were distributed by various agencies and units and were not sold to the public at all. There was a door between the soft sleeper car and the ordinary car, which was locked, and the two were not connected to each other.

I would rather leave it empty than let anyone else enter.

Coupled sleeper tickets are available for sale to the public, but the price is much higher. Many people are not willing to spend this money. They will only choose to sleep in a couchette under special circumstances.

But that's it, tickets for hard sleepers are hard to come by, and ordinary people can't get them.

Naturally, Kang Jian didn't buy a sleeper ticket. Lu Ye and Kang Jian just sat on the hard seats, holding in their urine and not daring to get up to go to the toilet. There were so many people on the bus that it would take a long time to squeeze in.

But when I came together, the seats under my butt were occupied by someone else.

When the time comes, people will close their eyes and no matter how you scream, they will not get up.

Disputes often arise on trains over seat dominance. Northeasterners are generally very angry and fights are not uncommon.

The cries of children in the carriage were noisy, the smell of the old man's stinky feet was suffocating, and the body was sticky with sweat from everyone else. The feeling was unbearable.

Lu Ye had experienced hardship before, but this was the first time he had suffered this kind of pain. He forced himself to open a crack in the train window, and the cold wind from outside blew in, which relieved him a lot, otherwise Lu Ye would have to vomit it out.

It was pitch dark outside the train, and Lu Ye could only hear the clatter of the steam locomotive outside.

Stop and go, stopping at every stop, people getting on and off at every stop, and the number of passengers in the carriage has also changed one after another, but the number of people has never decreased.

Lu Ye struggled until late at night, around 3 o'clock, when he couldn't stand it any longer. His upper eyelids and lower eyelids kept fighting, and he felt drowsy.

Lu Ye leaned on the hard seat and gradually lost consciousness. He didn't know how he fell asleep.

In a daze, Lu Ye only felt the flesh on his waist being poked with a finger.

This was nothing at all. Lu Ye was in a daze and didn't pay attention to it. However, when he thought of the cloth bag tied around his waist and the contact feeling that someone's nails had poked on his flesh just now, Lu Ye suddenly woke up and looked at his own skin.

left side.

I saw that the old man who was sitting next to Lu Ye had got off the car at some point, and now sitting next to him was a middle-aged man, not tall, wearing a big coat on a hot day, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

At first glance, he doesn't look like a good person.

Lu Ye looked at his waist, stretched out his hand and pulled at his clothes. There was a long slit on it, and it was very neat. It looked like it had been cut with a sharp knife.

Fortunately, the pocket where I make money is on the right side, and the person sitting on my right is Kang Jian. This guy is sleeping like a dead pig now.

Lu Ye pressed his elbow on the money bag and felt that the money was still there.

His eyes couldn't help but look at the man sitting on his left.

Seeing Lu Ye staring at him, the man knew that the matter had been exposed, and his left hand hidden under his coat directly touched Lu Ye's waist.

A cold feeling.

Lu Ye looked down and saw that the man was holding a cold knife in his left hand, which was pressed against his waist.

The knife was sandwiched between the man's index finger and middle finger. It was shaped like a willow leaf. You could tell it was specially made.

Lu Ye had no doubt that if he shouted, the knife would definitely be inserted into his body.

The man held the knife against Lu Ye and did not turn to look at Lu Ye. He just squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Lu Ye didn't dare to move. The knife hit his waist from the side. If he was not careful, it would affect his happiness in life.

Lu Ye leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and continued to pretend to sleep without saying a word.

But there was no way he could sleep here. With his eyes closed, Lu Ye had been judging the movements of the person next to him through the sensations of his body.

After a while, Lu Ye felt his waist loosen, and he could clearly feel that the person next to him had stood up.

Then he opened his eyes and saw the back of the man leaving. However, the man turned around suddenly and happened to meet Lu Ye, who was staring at his back. The man's eyes were full of anger and his eyes were motionless as he stared at Lu Ye.

, full of warning.

Lu Ye withdrew his gaze, sat down, and said nothing.

The man lowered his head, shrank his body, and squeezed out.
