Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 163 Train
Shi Xia counted them; there were a total of eight bundles of various sizes on the ground.

According to Uncle Cao, these eight were indispensable; if it weren't for the fear that they couldn't carry them, there would definitely be ten.

Accountant Xu made a move.

One was tied to the front of his chest, one was on his back, one was hanging around his neck, and four were being carried in his hands, making a total of seven. There was one more on the ground.

"Come on, I'll bite it!"

Accountant Xu is really bold in his words, and Uncle Cao is really bold in his actions; he picked it up and put it into Accountant Xu's open mouth.

Shi Xia, who was standing next to her, rolled her eyes!

At first, she wanted Accountant Xu to take it first, and she would take the rest. But Xu didn't say a word and took it all herself.

"Give it to me! Aren't you afraid that you'll wear out your teeth before you even get to Beijing? Besides, you've already used your teeth, are you still going to say anything?"

Shi Xia took the last package and carried it on her back. She also took the package off Accountant Xu's neck and tied it to her back as well. The two packages were crossed and staggered, making it look like she was carrying a small mountain from behind.

Shi Xia went to take the other two packages from Accountant Xu's hands. As soon as she turned around, she met the eyes of the little turtle Lao Liu, who was slowly turning its shell.

"My shell is prettier than yours!"

Shi Xia childishly raised an eyebrow at the sixth sea turtle and snorted softly. The sixth sea turtle slowly shook its head, like an elder looking at a child.

Shi Xia squatted down and tapped Lao Liu's head.

"Keep a close watch on the house, understand?"

The sixth brother pried Shi Xia's hand away with his front foot, and slowly nodded, as if to say: You don't need to tell me!
"I understand, you're amazing, you're amazing."

Shi Xia got up, said goodbye to everyone, and boarded the ferry with Accountant Xu, who was also carrying four bundles.

Uncle Cao stood at the port, waving his arms.

"come back earlier!"

Don't be stingy with money!

"Safety first!"

There were blurry figures in the harbor until the ferry had gone very, very far away.

Shi Xia and Accountant Xu piled the bundle at their feet, and Accountant Xu kept shifting his position after sitting down.

"Are your hemorrhoids acting up?"

Accountant Xu stopped fidgeting, turned her head stiffly, and whispered, "I sewed the money inside my clothes."

It's not underwear, is it?
Shi Xia didn't ask.

What should I do if I ask? Let's just pretend it's not true.

The ferry arrived at the port on time. After getting off the ferry, Shi Xia and Accountant Xu shouldered their heavy backpacks again and walked step by step toward the train station.

The messenger said yesterday that they could get train tickets by taking the letter of introduction to the train station, and someone would pick them up when they arrived in Beijing.

When the two arrived at the train station, Accountant Xu did everything himself, leaving Shi Xia with no worries.

He had never left the county town, and had only ever taken a train once, when he was young.

But everyone has a mouth, so let's ask.

Shi Xia knew that Accountant Xu had the important responsibility of taking care of her, so she simply didn't try to take it.

She followed behind, watching Accountant Xu ask someone for directions.

"Auntie... which way is the railway office?"

"Comrade, is this the railway office?"

The two finally arrived at the railway office, where Accountant Xu took the letter of introduction and went to ask questions.

Fortunately, the people in the county had already made arrangements, so the railway staff wouldn't make things difficult for the two people who had personally contacted the county. They warmly gave them tickets and even had staff escort them onto the train.

When the staff offered to help with the luggage, Accountant Xu pointed at Shi Xia and said, "Take hers, I'm not tired."

The staff looked at Accountant Xu, who was covered in sweat, and then at Shi Xia, who wasn't sweating at all.

Okay, I'll believe you if you say so.

Shi Xia looked at Accountant Xu, who chuckled with a proud and self-satisfied air.

Forget it, let him do it.

Shi Xia handed the two packages she was carrying to a staff member and helped Accountant Xu carry one. "No need, I'm not tired! This stuff isn't even as heavy as two baskets of sweet potatoes!"

Accountant Xu insisted on not giving in, so Shi Xia had no choice but to give up.

The two were put on the train ahead of time, so they didn't have to squeeze in with a crowd, which was good.

The sleeper berth has four beds, with two people on each side, one upper bunk and one lower bunk.

Shi Xia chose the upper bunk.

"Shi Xia, it's convenient down here."

"No, I like sleeping."

"That's fine. Just call me if you need anything, okay? This train is a bit chaotic, so don't wander off by yourself, even to the toilet."

"understood."

Shi Xia didn't refute it. She felt that Accountant Xu had already taken on the role of a doting father, so she decided to let him do as he pleased.

The two of them stayed downstairs for the time being, and Xia would go up after everyone else had gone up.

I just hope I don't run into any weird temporary roommates.

Shi Xia sat on the lower bunk, while Accountant Xu began to mutter to himself as he worked.

Here, have some dried shrimp, just to keep your mouth shut.

"And pumpkin seeds."

"I'm going to get some hot water. Don't wander off."

Accountant Xu gave her instructions several times, and Shi Xia agreed repeatedly. Accountant Xu left, still feeling uneasy.

He knew Shi Xia was formidable, of course. He was so worried because he feared that Shi Xia might not be able to resist and might resort to violence when he wasn't around, and he wouldn't be able to take the blame for her.

A short while later, Accountant Xu returned, added a pinch of white sugar to the hot water, and let it cool slowly before giving it to Shi Xia to drink.

"Give you candy."

A few candies were in Accountant Xu's hand, and Shi Xia took them. They really treated her like a child.

After the two sat for more than ten minutes, the first group of people rushed into the train station.

Their county town is the starting point.

Through the window, I saw a group of people rushing to board the train as soon as they saw a door, regardless of which carriage it was, grabbing a seat and sitting down.

The way he ran was exactly like someone chasing after a zombie; he was running extremely desperately.

Within two minutes, the train platform was filled with people carrying all sorts of luggage, and quite a few even had hens and goats with them.

Shi Xia saw several people's shoes being knocked off, and a chicken flying around in the air, scattering a lot of feathers.

Thank goodness I came this morning!

Even she was extremely resistant to this way of getting on the bus.

It felt like she was being besieged by zombies and had to fight her way out.

After watching the spectacular boarding scene, the other two passengers in their carriage arrived.

"Wow, you guys are so fast! Young people are so much better; they're much more agile than this old lady."

"Luckily, it's this lower position; my legs wouldn't be able to climb up there."

“Where are you going, my fellow villager? I’m going to Beijing to see my son. He works in Beijing, and his wife is about to give birth. I’m going to help her during her postpartum period.”

"Where are you from? Are you also going to Beijing? Let me tell you, I've been to Beijing several times..."

From the moment an old woman entered the carriage, she managed to keep Accountant Xu from saying a single word, answering her own questions and always managing to circumvent the topic of her son working in Beijing.

Shi Xia's temples were already throbbing slightly.

"Wah—er—"

"Good baby, don't cry. Mommy will make you some formula right away, okay?"

"Good boy, we've arrived. Let's get in the car, let's get in the car."

The last passenger arrived: a mother with her baby.

Shi Xia's temples had officially started to throb.
