Chapter 390 I'm Not A Thief
"What are you going to Dongguan for?" Bai Meihua asked.

"look for a job."

"Then you come with me. My cousin made a lot of money over there, and they built big tile houses in the village. I used to be a teacher in the village, but I don't do it now. I can recommend you."

Bai Meihua's eyes followed Lu Feng's face all the time, as if this face had an indescribable attraction to this girl.

Lu Feng kept looking at the man opposite. The man couldn't tell how old he was, with a thin face, hooked nose, unshaven beard, and some old leather clothes. He folded his hands on his chest and leaned on his seat to look around.

He met Lu Feng's gaze, then lowered his head.

The train rumbled forward, and the carriage was filled with accents from all over the world, as well as the smell of feet.

There was a middle-aged couple sitting across from them. They said they were going to work in the south. There are not many people going south to work now. They looked like they were in their fifties. After asking, I found out that they were just forty.

"We peasants look rough." The aunt smiled at Lu Feng and asked, "Go to school?"

"I'm working too!"

"You don't look like a part-time worker. You have thin skin and tender flesh. You don't look like it at first glance, but you look like the young master of a rich family." The uncle looked at Bai Meihua and said with a smile: "You are also fair."

"I teach and go to Dongguan to work. I heard from my cousin that I earn a lot." Bai Meihua laughed, looking out the window with hopeful eyes.

Chatting, the time passed quickly, the couple on the opposite side were talking about the world, and an uncle next door took out bulk liquor, took a couple of sips and joined the chat.

Unknowingly, the sky outside the carriage darkened, and Lu Feng realized that there was something wrong, that is, he didn't see the trolley on the train.

In the past, these small carts sold very happily, such as instant noodles and fruits, I got on the train this afternoon, and I haven’t seen them until now.

"Are you hungry? Let's eat!"

The aunt on the opposite side took out the woven bag and began to rummage through it. After a while, she took out some boiled eggs and two steamed buns.

The man diagonally opposite also took out ham sausage and steamed buns from his arms and ate them. Lu Feng looked around and all of them brought their own meals.

Bai Meihua took out a piece of cake from a bag, smeared some sauce on it and ate it in big mouthfuls. She seemed to see Lu Feng's embarrassment, and asked, "Did you not bring anything to eat? How many more do I have?" A cake."

"No, no, where is the dining car?" Lu Feng asked.

As soon as these words came out, several people looked at Lu Feng, the couple on the opposite side looked at Lu Feng, and the woman whispered, "Young man, don't miss out!"

Lu Feng was a little confused, he just wanted to go to the dining car to have a meal, why did he miss it?
"It's okay, I just have a meal." Lu Feng stood up and walked towards the flight attendant, and asked about the location of the dining car. It's not cheap to have a meal on the train now.

A simple lunch box, which seemed to be brought from the station, was put in a foam box, covered with a quilt, and sold to Lu Feng for ten yuan!

Ten yuan is enough for an ordinary person to go to a restaurant. On the train, they are all migrant workers. Ten yuan for a boxed meal is indeed a bit extravagant. No wonder the aunt on the other side reminded Lu Feng not to show off.

He casually ate two bites of the boxed lunch, which was really not very tasty. Lu Feng sat in the dining car smoking a cigarette and chatted with a passenger on the opposite side.

"Young man, just stay in the dining car, your car is not peaceful." The other party kindly reminded.

"I can feel it too, there are a few thugs." Lu Feng took a puff of cigarette and asked, "Is there any berth here?"

"No, it's full."

"Then when will it happen, tell me." Lu Feng stood up and drank the water in front of him, ready to go back.

"You go back? Didn't I tell you that the carriage is not peaceful."

"Do they want money or life?" Lu Feng asked.

"I want money!"

"I'm not short of money. Also, you knew that there were some three hands in the crowd, but you didn't catch them?" Lu Feng shook his head and sighed, ready to go back.

"Catch? I'm afraid that he will be fine, so I will be laid off."

Lu Feng stopped and glanced at him. We are not perfect ourselves, and we can't demand perfection in this era. He walked towards his own compartment. Lu Feng was mainly worried about Bai Meihua, who was going out for the first time. How can I live after getting off the car?
Back in the carriage, Lu Feng found that people had finished their meals, and the man diagonally opposite was gone.

Bai Meihua turned to Lu Feng and said, "Are you done eating? Is it expensive?"

"It's okay, ten yuan!"

Bai Meihua stared wide-eyed, full of shock, and said, "It's so expensive, I'd better continue eating cakes!"

It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the temperature in the carriage began to drop. Many people took out their coats and put them on to prepare for sleepy sleep.

The couple on the opposite side were talking about their children, and they took out their coats from the woven bag. Suddenly, the woman's complexion changed drastically, and she pulled out a cloth bag from inside. After opening, there was a layer of cloth inside. After the cloth was opened, there was only A few dimes.

"I lost the money! Why did I lose the money?" The woman yelled in disbelief.

"Look again, how could it be lost? This is our living expenses!" The man also became anxious.

There was a yell about losing money here, and everyone became nervous. They took their bags over immediately to make sure that their things were there. After a while, the flight attendant walked in.

"The money is lost, it's our living expenses!" the woman said, tears streaming down her face.

"There are only a few cents left, how can we live!" The man's face was filled with grief.

"Let me see, where are you putting it? Don't move, everyone, watch your things." A flight attendant came over and said.

Lu Feng saw the man diagonally opposite came back, as if he had gone to the toilet.

The flight attendant looked through the woven bag and found that it had been cut open, which should have been pulled out with tweezers or thread.

This woven bag has always been placed in front of the old couple, and the only people who can get close are Lu Feng and Bai Meihua, who are sitting opposite.

"You two come here." The flight attendant called Lu Feng and Bai Meihua to the police room.

A male marshal looked at Lu Feng and said, "Take out the money."

"I didn't steal it!" Lu Feng said helplessly, why did he become a thief?

"what is it call?"

"Lu Feng!"

"where to?"

"Dongguan!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Talk about cooperation with municipal leaders!"

"Huh?" The male marshal frowned slightly and said, "To be honest, don't blow it!"

"I'm not bragging. I have no choice but to take the train. It's still a hard seat. I just went to the dining car to have a meal and chatted with your people for a long time."

Lu Feng said it in detail, and was searched again, but found no dirty money, so he had to be let back.

On the way back, Lu Feng wondered why it was stolen. This is too amazing. After thinking about it, Auntie's bag was always held by her, and only Lu Feng and Baimeihua could touch it.

White plum?
Lu Feng covered his face with his hands, a little unbelievable, she didn't look like this kind of person, but there are everyone these days, knowing people and faces but not heart!
Lu Feng returned to the carriage from the police station and found that Bai Meihua had returned, and everyone in the carriage looked at him strangely, as if he was a thief.

The eyes of the old couple were sore and red from crying, and they were still sobbing while leaning there. Lu Feng comforted him: "Don't worry about getting angry, we will definitely find it before we get out of the car."

The flight attendant came in again and reminded loudly to pay attention to the belongings.

Bai Meihua looked at Lu Feng and whispered, "The policeman told me to pay more attention, there are many thieves here."

"Be careful when you sleep at night!" Lu Feng nodded.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the carriage fell into silence again, and many people fell asleep covered in their coats. The aunt on the other side originally said to lend Lu Feng a coat to cover at night, but now he is sad and has no thoughts.

The wind blowing in from the gaps in all directions was a bit cool. Lu Feng pulled the suitcase and opened it to take a look. It was all short-sleeved, and he could only put his hands on his chest, and fell asleep in a daze.

Just as he was dazed, he suddenly felt a warmth covering his body, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a flower coat covering his body.

"Woke you up?"

Lu Feng looked at Bai Meihua next to him. The two of them covered themselves in a coat, smiled and said, "It's quite warm, thank you. I'll go to the bathroom."

Lu Feng stood up and looked diagonally across, and found that the man was gone again. He glanced to the left and right, but found no one, so he stood up and walked towards the toilet.

Halfway through, the toilet door opened, and the man came out. When he saw Lu Feng, his eyes were a bit gloomy, and the two came face to face.

A middle-aged man was sitting in the third row. He hung a men's leather bag around his neck and slept under his coat. His snoring was already loud.

When the two of them came to this position, they needed to turn sideways to give way. Lu Feng saw his hand stretched out. In his hand was the pair of matte-colored tweezers, which were very long and sharp.

The tweezers directly cut a hole in the leather bag, poked it in, and squeezed out a wallet.

As soon as Lu Feng reached out and patted his arm, the tweezers smashed the wallet in again, and bumped into the sleeping man at the same time. The man quickly pulled his hand back, looking at Lu Feng with threatening eyes.

Everything happened in the light of the calcium carbide fire, and no one around noticed. Lu Feng walked towards the toilet, and the man followed.

He followed into the toilet with his front foot, and the other party followed him in, pinched Lu Feng's neck, and pressed the tweezers in his hand to his chest.

"You want to die, don't you?" The man said with a ferocious expression: "Brother, you have crossed the line, you stepped on the plate, do you understand?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Lu Feng looked at him and said, "There is a way to steal. You can't steal money from the poor. When the old couple got off the train, they lost even a way to live."

"You are really kind, why do you steal when you are so kind?" The man stared at Lu Feng fiercely and said, "Get the hell out of me at the next stop, don't act in my territory."

"What did you say? I stole the old couple's money?" Lu Feng didn't dare answer.

"Who else but you? Let me tell you, I have also received rumors these two days that someone is going to take this line from me, and they are all out to wander around. Who doesn't know a few people, let me tell you, If you cause trouble again, be careful to chop off your hands!"

"I'm not a thief!" Lu Feng shook his head.

"Aren't you a thief? Then who is a thief?" The man sneered, as if he was laughing at Lu Feng, a thief, but he didn't dare to admit it.
