- Chapter 1 Check-in Train Package
Woo~~~.
As the train whistle sounded, we finally arrived at the station, Ngee Ann City.
But if Luo Cheng wanted to go home, he had to take the shuttle bus.
Wearing a military uniform, he carried a quilt on his back, a water bottle and a sling bag on his shoulders, both of which were green.
Luo Cheng was discharged from the army and returned home. There was nothing in his backpack, except for the white-flour steamed buns given by the army for him to eat on the way back.
It’s only a few hundred kilometers, and it took more than a day on the same train. Luo Cheng is confused now.
It was just a sleep. Luo Cheng was a technical school student. Yesterday was supposed to be the day when he received his diploma from the technical school. But when I woke up, everything changed. My classmates became comrades, and graduates became veterans. There were many people who were discharged from the army together, and Luo Cheng also went through the procedures together in confusion.
Retirement comes with a pension, a letter of introduction and some certificates. After Luo Cheng came out of the army, he was confused again. Not only had the school turned into the army, but the era had also changed. The whole world seems to be like the 1960s. There are no cars on the road, and there are very few people riding bicycles. To take a bus, you have to go to a designated place, which is not available on all roads.
As for taking the train, you can’t even take the train without a letter of introduction from the army and a certificate of discharge. So Luo Cheng was confused the whole day. Even after getting off the train, he didn’t know how to get back to Ngee An from the army.
Without a mobile phone or an ID card, if Luo Cheng’s home address was not written on the document, he would not know where his home is.
After getting off the train, there were no vendors selling food nearby. Luo Cheng was not used to the steamed buns provided by the army. He liked to eat rice. Moreover, the steamed buns were a little hard after being stored in the backpack for a day, and he really didn’t want to eat them.
Fortunately, God gave him a golden finger, which gave him some comfort. It’s a sign-in system. When I was on the train in the early morning, the system voice suddenly appeared in my mind. Then Luo Cheng signed in with his mind according to the prompts in his mind.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m on the train or something else, but the things I get after signing in are a bit weird. A pack of unbranded cigarettes, a pack of melon seeds, a bottle of mineral water, eight-treasure porridge, instant noodles, peanuts, and a bottle of beer.
It’s a completely simplified version of the train set, including cigarettes, beer, drinks, eight-treasure porridge, and peanuts and melon seeds. In a certain era, there was a special cart selling these on the train. Of course, it was not just these types, there should also be packaged chicken legs, duck legs, hams and the like. But unfortunately, those were not among the items Luo Cheng signed.
Luo Cheng had retirement pay, more than one hundred yuan, and the largest denomination was the Big Black Ten, which was ten yuan. He figured it out on the train that he had indeed arrived in the 1960s, 1961. The more than 100 yuan he had on him was already worth a lot of money, and he also had a lot of bills.
But now I’m a little hungry. There’s not even a small restaurant near the train station, and I don’t want to eat steamed buns. I can only explore the system space in my mind.
Among the train set meals, the rice pudding is the one that will make you a little hungry. Taking things out of the system is also very simple and can be done by just thinking. After finding a random corner, Luo Cheng carefully put his hand into his satchel and used his mind to take out the eight-treasure porridge. If he wasn’t afraid of being seen, it would have appeared in his hand out of thin air.
A can of eight-treasure porridge without any label, place of origin, or even production date. Luo Cheng just squatted in a corner, opened the lid and started eating.
But he didn’t notice that there were eyes staring at him from many corners. If it weren’t for the military uniform he was wearing and how tall he looked, he would have been robbed just because he was eating like this.
After all, Luo Cheng was born after 2000 and had no idea what era this was and what 1961 represented. This is also near the train station, and there are many people. If you go out of the city, it doesn’t matter if you wear military uniforms. You dare to try eating in front of many people.
After eating the eight-treasure porridge, Luo Cheng looked around. In this damn era, there wasn’t even a trash can. Fortunately, there are no inspection personnel, so it won’t be a big deal if you just find a corner and throw away the empty rice pudding jar.
As for some passers-by in the distance, what would happen if they saw him throwing away garbage? People in this era should not be so ethical. Things taken out of the system couldn’t be put back, and Luo Cheng didn’t want to keep holding an empty jar in his hand, so he walked directly to a wall, threw the empty jar away, and left naturally.
According to the address in the data, Luo Cheng originally lived in a county town in later generations, but now it is just a village. But the general location is still where Luo Cheng’s former home was. It may be that this village will slowly develop into a county town in the future.
What Luo Cheng didn’t know was that as soon as he left, several children in their early teens immediately ran towards the rice-treasure porridge jar he had thrown.
“I haven’t eaten it all. I still have some soup. Let’s get some water to wash it down. Let’s drink some for each of us. This can is made of iron. You can probably exchange it for some food at the scrap station.”
“Brother, that comrade in the military doesn’t eat everything cleanly. Why are you willing to throw away such a good tin can?”
“Maybe he saw us and left it for us on purpose. He looked around just now and must have discovered us, so soldiers are good people.”
Luo Cheng didn’t expect that an uneaten eight-treasure porridge jar would almost turn into a touching story.
At this time, Luo Cheng was rushing to the bus station. Fortunately, the bus station was not far from the train station. To be honest, carrying a quilt and luggage and clothes on his back, even though Luo Cheng was 1.78 meters tall, in this era Although he is tall and powerful, his body is really not strong and he cannot walk much.
God made his world look like the 1960s, but it didn’t give Luo the physique of this era. It is said that most people in this era can walk for dozens of miles without any trouble, but for him, let alone carrying so many things, he feels tired even if he simply walks for several miles with nothing.
But this was the 1960s, otherwise Luo Cheng would really want to throw away everything he had on him. A quilt cost only a few dollars. In later generations, I have seen people taking quilts with them on trains and buses. Even migrant workers don’t have to carry large or small bags these days. Most of them go directly to places to buy things when they go out to work.
When we arrived at the station, it was a coincidence that a bus to Longyang Town was about to leave. Moreover, transportation is not developed in these days, and the shuttle buses to villages and towns may only run once or twice a day. Some towns may not be open to traffic, so you have to sit at a nearby point, then get off the bus and walk back.
The same is true for Longyang Town. If you don’t drive into the town, when you reach a certain intersection, you have to walk about one or two kilometers to get home.
“Comrade, you are also going to Longyang Town. Can you help me?”
Luo Chenggang put the quilt in the car. Although the quilt was not heavy, it was a bit tiring to carry it all the way. At this moment, a girl asked awkwardly.
Behind the girl, there is a little girl with two braids, which looks particularly contemporary. But whether it is the girl asking for help or the little girl behind her, they are all like people of this era, with sallow complexion and thin skin. Even if their facial features look okay, they are not very good-looking.
