When he arrived at the train station, Wang Lin rushed to buy a ticket.

The huge ticket hall was packed and packed with people buying tickets.

There was a long queue in front of every ticket window.

The queue moved very slowly. Most of the people in the queue were migrant workers who came to the city to work. Many of them were actually wearing patched clothes and trousers. Their luggage was also in tatters, carried in snakeskin bags, and some even

Use "urea" bags for luggage.

Wang Lin has long heard of the Spring Festival travel season, but has never participated in it.

The term "Spring Festival Transport" first appeared in "People's Daily" in 1980.

Since the reform and opening up, as restrictions on the movement of people have been relaxed, more and more people have chosen to leave their hometowns to work and study. Many people return home during the Spring Festival, forming a Spring Festival travel that can be called "a rare population movement in the world."

However, it is not the Spring Festival travel season now!

Why is it so crowded?

After queuing for more than half an hour, it was finally Wang Lin's turn.

"Comrade, buy a ticket that will take you to Luzhou as soon as possible."

"The earliest train leaves at 9:26, General Express."

"How many hours does it take to reach Luzhou?"

"9 hours."

"Okay, just buy this train and the one with hard seats. How much does it cost?"

"Twenty-one-eight!"

The ticket price is really expensive!

Just one round trip and half a month's salary is gone!

No wonder people who come out to work usually don’t dare to go home. They only wait to go back to their hometowns every Spring Festival!

Wang Lin took the ticket, carefully checked the information on the ticket, and then carefully put it in his pocket.

Tickets are required to be checked on the train, as well as at the entrance and exit of the station. If you lose your ticket and refuse to acknowledge it, you will have to pay for it again!

He knew that there were a lot of people cheating and abducting people near the train station, so he didn't wander around nearby and went directly into the waiting room.

Wang Lin brought a military kettle, and he drank half of it in one gulp. He went to the bathroom and saw a water room nearby that provided hot water, so he lined up to fill up the kettle.

When I returned to the waiting room and sat down, a thin middle-aged man next to me asked with a smile: "Little brother, are you going on a long trip?"

"Not far!" Wang Lin responded casually with a calm tone.

"Are you going to Luzhou? Me too!" The middle-aged man combed his hair in a three-quarter length and actually put on mousse. It looked very fashionable. He stretched out his hand, "When you go out, you have many friends and many roads. I

My name is Ma Tao."

The other party could guess that Wang Lin was going to Luzhou, so he was not surprised.

Most of the people sitting here are waiting for this train.

Luzhou is the capital of Anhui Province, located in the Yangtze River Delta. It is an important city in East my country, with a large population and many people coming out to work.

"Are you a local from Shanghai? On a business trip or doing business?" Ma Tao loves to talk.

"On a business trip!" Wang Lin kept a cautious eye on everyone he met, and said a few words to each other without being completely focused on them. At the same time, he focused on guests and asked, "What about you? Doing business?"

"Yes, my little brother is really sharp. I am a businessman, in the pencil business." Ma Tao smiled, opened his leather satchel, took out two pencils, one red and one blue, and stretched them out in front of Wang Lin.

"See? The ex-factory price is 2 cents a piece. Every household can use it!"

Wang Lin waved his hand: "No need to buy it. The unit will provide you with it."

"Okay, good unit!" Ma Tao took back his hand, took out a big card, folded it in half, and said with a smile, "Little brother, if you have nothing to do, you have nothing to do. Let's play a guessing pencil game. This game is very simple. I put ten

Fold the dollar in half, then wrap the red pen, then wrap the blue pen, roll it up, and then unroll it. You see, the red pen is still wrapped."

He was talking and demonstrating at the same time.

Sitting next to her, there is a young girl who looks to be in her teens. She has two braids. She has pretty features, a round face, and big eyes. She is wearing a white Doliang singlet and a red khaki jacket. She is very cute.

He watched Ma Tao do all this curiously, but said nothing.

Seeing her interest, Ma Tao also showed her the game of trapping two pencils with money.

"How about it? It's very simple, right? Our game is to guess red and blue! I'll do it again. You can see clearly. If you guess correctly which color pencil is trapped in the money, I will give you these ten

I’ll give you a dollar for free!” Ma Tao was so eloquent that he talked as smoothly as a talk show host.

As he spoke, he wrapped the red pen with money, then wrapped the blue pen, and said with a smile: "Little brother, guess what?"

Wang Lin was a little wary. He didn't believe that there was love for no reason in this world. People really have nothing to do? Come to play games with you? And give you a big unity card for no reason?

But this was his first time seeing this kind of gameplay, and he didn’t know what the other party was playing, so he didn’t say anything.

Ma Tao asked the little girl: "Guess!"

The temptation of ten dollars is not small!

The little girl pursed her lips, pointed at the red pen and said, "Red! I watched you trap it!"

"Are you sure?" Ma Tao asked.

The little girl nodded vigorously: "It's the red pen!"

Wang Lin thought to himself, I also saw it, what you used the money to trap was a red pen!

What's there to guess about?

I saw Ma Tao smile slightly and start to unite. Sure enough, the red pen was trapped.

Wang Lin couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself, isn't this the way you play to give people money?

Ma Tao was indeed very generous and handed the ten dollars to the little girl.

The little girl happily took the money and looked over it several times to confirm that it was real money.

Ma Tao took out a new fifty yuan note: "Let's play again. If you win, I will still give you the fifty yuan. However, if you lose, you have to compensate me."

One hundred dollars! Do you dare to play?"

The little girl just won ten yuan casually. She took it for granted that the gameplay was very simple and said with a smile: "You said this!"

"Of course I said so. Do you have a hundred dollars with you?"

"I do! I happen to have a hundred yuan!" the little girl laughed, "I came out to work after the Chinese New Year, and I got a monthly salary of 45 yuan. I worked for three months and earned 135 yuan.

Oh! If it weren’t for something happening at home, I wouldn’t go home now!”

Wang Lin thought to himself, this little girl is too naive. She met a stranger in the waiting room and told them all her information?

"Okay!" A sinister smile appeared on Ma Tao's lips.

Wang Lin instinctively felt that this was a trick!

However, this was really his first time meeting him, and he didn’t know how people cheated. He couldn’t find the right way to expose it!

Ma Tao folded the fifty yuan in his hand, then wrapped the blue pen, then the red pen, and asked the little girl: "Which pen do you guess?"

"Blue pen!" the little girl smiled happily, "I saw it!"

Wang Lin thought to himself, how can there be such a simple thing in the world?

I just gave you ten yuan, and now I’m giving you fifty yuan?

He stared at Ma Tao without blinking to see what tricks he was playing.
