A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 517 The Thieves Are Out in Motion
The car seat was by the window, and Shagen leaned against the window, looking out at the dark road.

The train carriage was filled with the smells of cigarettes and instant noodles.

More often than not, there was the sound of snoring and the sour smell of sweaty, smelly feet.

As the year draws to a close, most of the passengers are migrant workers who have worked hard for several years or just one year. They squeeze into the green trains just to save a little money so they can bring more new clothes for their children back home.

Feng Yuxiu stared at Shagen, saying that even Chen Xiwa and Li Erniu before him were not this stupid.

However, unlike before, Feng Yuxiu now felt that the farm worker in front of him was truly simple and honest.

Having seen countless ruthless villains, he subconsciously felt uncomfortable upon encountering such rare innocence.

Before he lost his kindness towards people, he once had this naive belief that the world was a wonderful place.

However, his naivety had already died in his previous life.

The somewhat dull-witted migrant worker in front of me seems to embody the most simple and honest essence of this era.

Wang Li sat down next to Sha Gen with an imposing air, staring straight into the silly boy's eyes.

Sha Gen looked at Wang Li with reddened eyes.

Wang Li's eyes also reddened, and she suddenly seemed lost in thought. "Shagen, I want to recognize you as my younger brother. When you get married in the future, I will be your in-laws."

Shagen couldn't hold back any longer. He was simple-minded to begin with, and with tears streaming down his face, he said, "Sister, Big Brother told me not to tell you."

Wang Li grabbed Sha Gen's hands and said, "Don't cry, I'm not sick. Your brother lied to you. Here's your money, take it, go home and build a house and get married."

Shagen continued to cry, "But... even Big Brother is crying. People don't lie when they cry."

This statement left Feng Yuxiu speechless.

"You're so naive, you believed his act? Your older brother... your older brother knows you like your sister, he just wanted to see if you really care about her."

Shagen blurted out, "I do, I have my sister in my heart."

Wang Li laughed through her tears, touched Sha Gen's sideburns, and made a serious decision, "Then I'll accept you as my younger brother. I'll protect you on this train."

Feng Yuxiu looked at Wang Li with curiosity; these two were somewhere between a thief and a good person.

Their code of conduct is constrained by moral bottom lines. Just because Shagen is so foolish as to trust them, this female thief has violated her behavior as a thief.
This is perhaps why Feng Yuxiu cannot understand him.

He wanted to end this trip easily, but there were still over twenty hours until he arrived at his destination, and he didn't want to be bored for the rest of the trip.

Shagen cried as he threw his backpack on the seat and went to the toilet.

Wang Bo never returned.

Therefore, Wang Li began to speak frankly with Feng Yuxiu.

“That child is an orphan. He has been in the plateau for seven or eight years and has only managed to save up 60,000 yuan.”

Feng Yuxiu didn't reply. Wang Li stared out the dark window and said to herself, "I started out in the world when I was eighteen and met my man."

"I just want to know, bro, are you in this line of work?"

After Wang Li finished speaking, she stared blankly at Feng Yuxiu.

Feng Yuxiu closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Wang Li gave a bitter smile, lowered her head, and after a long while, managed to squeeze out a soft voice, tinged with despair, "I'm pregnant."

Seeing that Feng Yuxiu still hadn't opened his eyes, Wang Li took a deep breath. "I don't know why, but ever since I boarded the train and prayed to Buddha, I've felt like I've been destined for this. If... if something happens to me on this train... I beg you to watch over my adopted brother. He's so naive; he doesn't know that this train is teeming with wolves."

"As for me... I know this might be retribution. After all these years... I know I'll get my comeuppance for harming others... and just when I found out I was pregnant, I ran into this group of people... From their eyes, I could tell this trip was definitely not going to be that simple."

After Wang Li finished speaking, she stood up and bowed deeply to Feng Yuxiu, saying, "Please, I beg you."

Wang Li's voice was very soft, but it still caught the attention of the two police officers sitting next to her.

Feng Yuxiu stood up, turned around, and walked towards the police officer. "Do you have time to go out for a bit?"

The male police officer looked up at Feng Yuxiu and smiled, "Young man, I don't think I know you."

Feng Yuxiu calmly said, "There are many thieves on this train, at least two groups. You plan to make an arrest when the train stops, but if you push these thieves too far, do you know the consequences of having so many hostages?"

The male police officer's expression changed slightly, and he became serious. "Who exactly are you?"

Feng Yuxiu didn't finish speaking and turned to walk towards the back.

The male police officer's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.

"Brother Li..."

"It's alright, you keep an eye on it, I'll go take a look."

The policewoman took a deep breath and glanced around to find Wang Li staring at her, her face pale and expressionless.

"Damn it, that damned kid tipped off this female thief! We're all exposed!"

"Damn it!"

-

Train handover point.

The male police officer stood next to Feng Yuxiu, wearing a leather jacket and with his hands in his pockets, looking at Feng Yuxiu.

Feng Yuxiu turned around with a smile, patted the man's leather jacket, and walked straight out.

The man looked completely bewildered. Was this all the reason he'd been called out?
What's this kid up to?
-

The train sped past.

In the box.

Uncle Li strolled around, holding a cigar opener; the second-in-command had already left.

He gazed at the scenery outside the window, while Xiao Ye handed Uncle Li a glass of wine from behind, then wrapped her arms around him from behind.

"The morale is low, and the team is hard to lead." Feeling the warmth behind him, Uncle Li sighed, yet remained elegant.

Xiao Ye slapped Uncle Li's old buttocks and handed him a wine glass. "That's because you're too soft-hearted. That's not like you at all... Back when you brought me into this business, you were ruthless and decisive... There are still three of your bodies lying in that stinking ditch to this day."

Uncle Li lowered his head and swirled his wine glass. He turned around and saw Xiao Ye leaning against the bed, stroking her long legs.

"But if you lose the hearts of the people, you will become an isolated person..."

Uncle Li took a sip of his drink. “I told the brothers I wouldn’t go hunting on this trip, but I didn’t expect them to have such strong opinions about it. As a result, I’ve lost their support… The trouble now is caused by that wicked fool… If it weren’t for him, my brothers and I wouldn’t be so estranged.”

"Looks like we can't skip the hunt this time. We'd be letting down our ancestors if we didn't kill him... Little Ye, I think you should go and kill him. That way the brothers won't have any complaints about me, and this is a good opportunity for you to establish your authority. Let the brothers see that you're not just a pretty face."

"While we're at it, let's teach that arrogant Wang a lesson, show him that there are always people more powerful than you. Our team is already short of talent compared to other schools; the Southern School has a Thousand-Hand Guanyin..."

"Over the years, how many have I trained? There's no one else besides you. This kid is pretty good."

Ye Zi twisted her neck and smiled, "Uncle Li, you should have sent me sooner. What's the use of sending those useless people? They're so slow and inefficient, they can't even cut a sheep properly."

Uncle Li smiled slightly and patted Xiao Ye's bottom gracefully, "Then Uncle Li wishes you a triumphant return."

-

Inside the carriage, Xiao Ye fiddled with a dagger and walked straight toward Sha Gen.

He sat down in the seat behind the police officer, staring with interest at the sleeping Sha Gen and his group.

She elegantly lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, glanced around, and pulled a small, flammable smoke bomb from her pocket, lighting it.

The entire carriage was quiet. She smiled, lit a smoke bomb, and casually tossed it into the air.

The wisp of smoke fell into a man's pocket.

Before long, a large amount of smoke began to fill the air.

"on fire!!!"

As the man screamed in terror, the people in the carriage gradually woke up.

Everyone panicked and began to push and shove.

The police officer immediately stood up and shouted, "Quickly, find a fire extinguisher!"

Shagen hurriedly stood up and rushed across the seat to put out the fire.

Wang Li immediately pulled Sha Gen down and shouted, "This is none of your business! Sit down! Watch your things!"

"Fire! Big sister!"

"Sit down!!" Wang Li pressed down hard on Sha Gen, preventing him from moving.

Shagen panicked, "I have to go save the fire lady, what if the whole bus is on fire?"

The smoke began to swirl, and when the concentration reached its lowest point, the leaves suddenly twitched.

He shoved the women around him with his backhand, and they all lost their balance and bumped into Sha Gen and Wang Li.

In that instant, Shagen was jolted from side to side by the impact. As his satchel swung, Yezi grabbed it and quickly unbuttoned it with her left hand, throwing the brown paper backpack she had been holding behind her into it.

He pulled out the 60,000 yuan that Sha Gen was holding with his right hand and left in a dashing manner.

There was no entanglement or complicated relationship involved; her goal was simple and pure: the 60,000 yuan.

The already chaotic carriage became increasingly crowded.

It wasn't until the train attendant from the carriage behind us arrived with a fire extinguisher that the situation improved.

Feng Yuxiu leaned against the car window and watched quietly, his gaze falling on the woman in white who was leaving from the opposite direction of the carriage.

"Creating chaos and then stealing... much calmer than others. This thief seems to be very experienced."

Wang Li hurriedly pulled Sha Gen to sit down, opened her handbag and saw the brown paper quietly inside.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The fire came so suddenly that it made her extremely uneasy.

Fortunately, the money is still there.

"wrong!"

Wang Li pressed it down, but there was no soft touch, only a hard, unyielding feel.

"The money... has been switched!"

"That woman in white!"

Wang Li turned to look at Sha Gen, "You sit here and don't move. I'm going to find your older brother!"

"Oh." Shagen nodded blankly.

In the aisle of the train carriage, Ye Zi suddenly leaned against the wall.

The train police officer behind him hurriedly ran towards the smoking carriage.

She weighed the heavy money in her hand and smiled.

Wang Li rushed frantically towards the other carriages, grabbing a woman in white who was climbing onto the second-floor bunk.

"What are you doing?"

The woman turned her head and angrily rebuked him; she had long hair.

"Sorry, I got the wrong person."

Wang Li turned around and continued chasing.

She didn't notice that Feng Yuxiu was slowly following behind her.
