Chapter 255 Let’s go!Target Xi'an
It was only eight o'clock, and most galleries were not open yet.
Only the wooden door of the shop they had made an appointment with had been removed.
As soon as Lin Ran walked in, a group of people stared at him with vigilant eyes.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was Lin Ran.
The yellow-skinned mouse was laughing in an unpleasant voice: "I thought you weren't coming, little brother."
"How is that possible?" Lin Ran didn't care and put the things on the table.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the coming key.
"Brother Lin, may I ask what this is?" Liu Jingfeng asked in confusion.
"You will naturally know when you get there. This thing has wonderful uses." Lin Ran deliberately kept it secret. Anyway, they probably wouldn't believe it if he told them.
After a while, another middle-aged man with a beard ran away.
Their people finally arrived, six of them in total.
Liu Jingfeng counted the number of people, stood up and said: "Everyone, there are only six of us going to Shaanxi this time. The people there have made arrangements. I have bought the train tickets. If there is no problem, let's set off, shall we?"
"I have no problem." The yellow-skinned mouse said first.
"I'm fine."
The five of them expressed their opinions separately, and then looked at Lin Ran.
"Of course it's no problem. As long as accommodation and meals are arranged, I don't have any objections." Lin Ran nodded.
These days, they don't have travel permits, so they can't eat in restaurants or stay in guest houses when they go out of town.
Moreover, it is too arrogant for a tomb robber to live in a guest house.
The only thing he cares about is that the problem of food and accommodation needs to be solved.
"Don't worry about this. We have made arrangements. However, there may be some mosquitoes on the mountain. Please forgive me, Mr. Lin." Liu Jingfeng said with some embarrassment, "How about I arrange farmhouse accommodation for you and you can light mosquito coils?" , dig out the cultural relics and then go up the mountain to meet us."
It turns out that their so-called food and accommodation are done in the wild just like tomb robbers.
This is quite a novel experience.
"It doesn't matter, I can accept it." Lin Ran nodded in agreement.
The five people in front of me were carrying different equipment.
From the outside, it looks like a migrant worker going to work in other places, carrying a huge snakeskin bag.
It's covered with clothes on the outside, but actually there are various tools inside.
Speaking of which, tomb robbers can be regarded as skilled craftsmen. In this era, they had already come up with the idea of taking apart the tools and reassembling them at the destination.
Nowadays, there are three clear prohibitions on taking trains.
No burning, no explosions, no dangerous goods.
Whether other things are prohibited or not depends on the inspectors.
I remember that on trains in the 80s, robbers would bring a basket of kitchen knives onto the train. After robbing the passengers, they would jump out of the train and run away.
It can be seen that this rule can be loosened or tightened.
In order to avoid suspicion, the tomb robber took apart all the tools and explained that he was going out to help with farm work and needed to bring farm tools.
Now that everything was ready, everyone took Liu Jingfeng's car to the train station.
Beijing West Railway Station looks magnificent no matter when you look at it.
This railway station was established in the 27th year of Guangxu's reign and was later renamed Jingcheng West Railway Station.
Outside the station, you can see many men wearing green cloth carrying luggage.
After his rebirth, he had sent Wei Chengbin to the door before, but this was the first time he entered the waiting hall.
In the waiting hall, there were many people lying casually on the ground or sleeping on their luggage.
The biggest difference from later generations is that no one in this era is looking at their mobile phones, either chatting or sleeping, and very few people even read books.
This was an era when education had just become popular, and many people were simply illiterate.
Lin Ran looked at everything in front of him with great interest, and a sense of history came to his face.
Liu Jingfeng went to go through the check-in procedures. When he came back, he said a little apologetically: "Brother Lin, our train is delayed. We have just started to enter the station now. Get your ticket."
The train ticket only states the place of departure and destination, without any tourist information.
These days, the household registration management system has not yet been implemented, and there is no so-called ID card. Being able to buy a ticket is proof of identity.
The uniformed staff shouted loudly with a loudspeaker: "People on the K666 train going to Shaanxi are ready to check their tickets! Repeat it..."
Lin Ran and the six of them carried large and small bags and slowly moved forward with the crowd.
When passing the ticket gate, the inspector glanced at the steel rod in Lin Ran's hand.
"What is this?" he asked doubtfully.
Lin Ran then realized that this thing was too conspicuous and should be made shorter.
But at this time, Liu Jingfeng said a few words, and the other person waved his hand with a cold face, and then checked the next person's luggage.
Sure enough, Liu Jingfeng still has some connections.
After entering the train station, I heard a huge roar in the distance.
A green train, with black smoke pouring out from the front, gradually entered the station.
The sound was so loud that it almost tore Lin Ran's eardrums.
The trains these days are really not environmentally friendly, Lin Ran thought, with a smile on his face.
When the yellow-skinned mouse saw him smiling, he couldn't help but laugh: "A child really has little experience and has never seen a train. Is it really reliable?"
"Huang Hao, shut up." Liu Jingfeng had a smile on his face, actually warning the yellow-skinned mouse.
The yellow-skinned mouse also consciously closed his mouth.
After the train pulled into the station, people got out of the car one after another.
Judging from their clothes, they should be working in the capital from other places.
The wave of migrant workers has just begun, but the destination chosen by most farmers is Guangdong, because a special zone has just been established there and wages are high.
There is no concept of migrant workers yet, but the state has begun to encourage farmers who do not farm to enter cities to make up for the shortage of urban labor force.
The train stopped at Jingcheng Station for half an hour before slowly starting.
Sit on your seat and look at the scenery outside the window.
The current green train can only travel at a speed of fifty kilometers per hour, which is not even as fast as a high-speed car.
But the advantage is that it is cheap and it is the first choice for people to travel.
The window seat is a must-have. Sitting by the window and looking at the scenery along the way will give you a real feeling of traveling.
In the carriage, people had already taken out poker cards in twos and threes and started playing cards.
From time to time, a flight attendant would push a trolley and ask if anyone wanted to buy drinks or melon seeds.
Moreover, there are simply too many train stops in these days.
Lin Ran fell asleep unknowingly in this noisy environment, listening to the whistle of the train.
It took a total of two days to get from Beijing to Shaanxi.
Liu Jingfeng and others were also fully prepared. They prepared an iron bowl for Lin Ran, then took out egg instant noodles and ate them with boiling water on the train.
"Brother Lin, you haven't tried this before, but it's very exciting." Liu Jingfeng ate the noodles and boasted to him, "We often eat this kind of noodles when we go out. It feels much better than the ones in noodle shops."
"Really?" He took a bite. Although the taste was not as good as the instant noodles of later generations, it was particularly chewy.
Lin Ran took a look at the brand of instant noodles - Jingcheng Egg Yi Noodles.
"It's really good." Lin Ran praised sincerely.
After two days and one night of trekking, while half asleep and half awake, Lin Ran finally heard the staff announcing the station: "We have arrived at Xi'an Station. Passengers who want to get off at Xi'an, please get off quickly!"
