Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 282 Chapter 281 Return to Beijing

July 1959, 7, the tenth day after Tang Zhitong set off from Sijiu City.

It was finally time to board the train home from the ancient capital. Tang Zhitong got up early, checked out the room with the guest house staff, took the payment receipt, and went out to find a trolley.

Tang Zhitong's wandering around these days was not just for traveling, but also for him to understand the basic situation of the ancient capital. After all, he had to find someone to pull the box containing the tiger onto the train early this morning.

The traffic in the ancient capital was far inferior to that in Forty-Nine Cities. In the past few days, Tang Zhitong saw almost no cars, and there were not even many bicycles on the road. Most transportation relied on donkey carts.

Tang Zhitong came to the area where donkey carts gathered, put away the bicycles, took out the half-packs and hung them on his body, and took out the box containing the tiger and put it on his shoulders.

Carrying the box, I walked forward, found a donkey cart at random, negotiated the price, put the box on the cart, and sat in the back, letting the fellow from the ancient capital take me to the train station.

When we arrived at the station, we still took the employee passage. After showing our certification letter and work permit, we arrived at the platform smoothly.

It wasn't until this moment that Qi Xiang realized that he had sent a tiger away today.

This time the mail truck was still escorted by Xie Qu and Yu Fuyin. When he saw the wooden box, Xie Qu couldn't help it and asked: "Chief Tang, are there tiger cubs in this?"

"Well, the tiger cub is not big." Tang Zhitong didn't stuff the tiger cub into the box until he was carrying it into the car, just for those few grunts.

Tang Zhitong knew this rule and did not stop it. Instead, he helped lift the box to the car and placed it in the innermost corner.

"Wait until you stop. The comrades from the zoo will come to pick you up. Then I will see the situation and let you touch two tiger butts." Tang Zhitong is a man who knows how to adapt. The zoo must inspect the tiger cubs before they pick them up. It was inevitable to open the box, and the three little tigers had their mouths tied all the time. They were not dangerous to touch when opening the box, and no one would say anything, so he promised.

Although the box was empty, Tang Zhitong kept guarding it, and from time to time he would give the two escorts some smoke, but he had no intention of letting them get close to the box.

"That's a good feeling." Yu Fuyin replied happily with a grin. Everyone knows that a tiger's butt is hard to touch and can last for years if touched for a while.

"That's it, that's it, hehe." Yu Fuyin didn't force it. The official level couldn't suppress anyone, but it was uncomfortable, especially the God of Wealth who controlled his own salary...

Not long after loading the parcel, the train sounded its whistle, then started, heading towards Zhengzhong City.

"Wait, everyone has a share." After the box was placed, Tang Zhitong immediately put the tiger cubs inside into the space. The journey was bumpy and hot. He was worried that they would die before they had eaten the royal food. Lose.

The box is empty. If you don't notice it and let them find it, it will be difficult to explain.

"This can't be opened. It's from the zoo. It costs hundreds of dollars. If something goes wrong, we can't afford it." Tang Zhitong understood what Yu Fuyin meant and wanted to learn more, but he didn't agree.

"Oh, that's amazing. I've never seen a tiger cub in my life." Yu Fuyin helped lift the box onto the self-contained mail truck without letting the handlebars interfere. There are regulations in the escort carriage that no outsiders are allowed except for one's own people. boarding.

Fortunately, Xie Qu and Yu Fuyin were sensible people and did not force anything.

The three of them arrived in Zhengzhong City peacefully. It was already dark, and it was time to guard against car pickpockets.

This time, even though the lights were on in the carriage, after the car drove away, the movement outside was much denser than when we went to the ancient capital. Beating would definitely not work. Xie Qu and Yu Fuyin repeated their old tricks and knocked on the carriage door, but the effect was not obvious.

"Fellow! Fellow! This is a passenger train bound for Sijiu City. There will be people checking at every stop. Don't waste your time!" Tang Zhitong saw that the effect was not obvious, so he stepped forward, waved to the two of them, and pulled his hand. shouted the voice.

"Liar!" After a while, a voice came from outside, and it sounded like a woman.

"There's no point in lying to you. Most of the carriages on the passenger train have lights on, only the cargo train doesn't. If you don't believe me, you'll know when you get to the next stop. If you get caught, you will be deported to your place of origin. " Tang Zhitong saw that it was effective and continued to search for information he knew.

"What do you think we should do?" The woman outside still didn't give up and asked instead.

"Go back to Zhengzhong City, find a cargo train going west, dig into the carriage, hide it and don't get out, walk west for a day, and you will reach Baoji. Then change the cargo train, walk northwest, and walk for two days or two. Night, all the way to Dihua, the terminal, where the area is vast and sparsely populated, with many men and few women. As long as you work hard, you will not be short of food, and you will not have to worry about starting a family." This is not Tang Zhitong's nonsense, but someone has really disclosed it. No matter how difficult it is, Tang Zhitong will not joke with human life.

"Really?" the woman outside asked doubtfully.

"It's more real than real gold. No matter how heartless I am, I can't lie to my own people. I have friends over there who say that many formal workers are worried about finding a wife! In the past, if you found a man and started a family, you could have a city registered permanent residence." Tang Zhitong continued to persuade.

"What about the man?" Another male voice asked outside.

"It's a little harder for men, but over there, whether it's farming or herding, it's better than here. If you don't believe me, if you just hang out like this, someone will definitely take you back at the next stop." Tang Zhitong had no time. I was wondering how many people had robbed the train, and I was thinking hard to recall the few information in my mind, but what I said was very real.

"Thank you!" After a while, a voice of thanks came from outside.

Xie Qu and Yu Fuyin did not interrupt after Tang Zhitong spoke. After hearing the thanks from outside, they walked to Tang Zhitong and asked quietly: "Chief Tang, is this true?"

"Really. I went to the ancient capital this time, and I heard from the locals that many people there have already gone there, and they have all written back." Tang Zhitong replied decisively. This was to comfort himself, Xie Qu, and Yu Fuyin even comforted the people outside the car...

Perhaps Tang Zhitong's words had an effect. When he arrived at the next stop, Xie Qu slowly opened the carriage, and there was no one outside...

The same situation repeats itself before dawn.

Tang Zhitong and the others could only point out a clear path and persuade each other earnestly.

People who suffer from hunger are not actually afraid of hardship, but they just lack the channels to exchange hardship for a full stomach.

Hunger is overwhelming, and the number of people that a slightly wealthier place can accept is limited. The main thing here is an information gap.

Tang Zhitong did not hide anything this time, but told the hungry victims what he knew...

In fact, Tang Zhitong also knows a route to the northeast, but the inspections in Sijiu City will be extremely strict. Going there is no different from being repatriated to the place of origin or going to work on the farm...
