Chapter 22: Abandoned Railway Line – Get Off the Train at the Abandoned Station (1)

“Vroommmmmm!!!!!”

The steam whistle of the train suddenly rang in the quiet night.

The heavy and unique “clang” sounds of old locomotive unceasingly echoed on the railway, which had a strong sense of rhythm and a special charm.

For the old citizens of Jiangjin city, this sound accompanied them through their entire childhood. When this city was newly built, the railway extended all around  the city.

However, as the city become increasingly developed, the railway became the biggest obstacle to expanding the city. With a sudden disruption in expansion, in addition to higher cost-efficiency and quiet bullet train that had been put into use, the original old train and railway were starting to be phased out.

Until now, there is only one old train still running in Jiangjin city. People regard it as a remembrance of old times. In that case, its compartments weren’t it’s original rusty appearance anymore; it was more close to a tourist train.

“It is a pity. I heard that the government has decided to abandon Jiangyue Railway Line.” After shoveling the last scoop of coal into the furnace, then shutting the door of the furnace, the old stoker wiped his sweat by using his towel. After that, he sighed and said: “Maybe this is one of the last times we will do this work.”

“Is it true?” The young stoker sat on the dark chair, picking up his kettle and took a swig of tea, then said with a disbelieving look, “Isn’t the profit and attraction of Jiangyue Line great? Many tourists who visit this place loved it very much, aside from the tourists even the older generation of citizens consider this place important. They won’t allow this happen.”

“Hey, that’s because you don’t know a foreign-funded enterprise has taken a fancy to the land of Jiangyue Railway Station. They want to build a world-cla.s.s building in Jiangjin City. Since they have enough money and this also can be used as an achievement in the leader’s official career, how would the government refuse it? Even if it was a mountain, they will still try to move it!”

It seemed that the old stoker heard something from some related personnel. His words sounded very reasonable. “Think about it. Since Jiangjin City has been developing for so many years, the city center has been filled with buildings, and none of the masters of these buildings is an easy person to deal with. Since they want to put a foot in there, naturally, the easiest choice is to abandon the railway station.”

“If true, the future of Jiangyue Line seems really bleak…” The young stoker was swayed. He looked pretty worried.

“Hey hey, so we don’t have much time here. You should treasure it.” The old stoker smiled very heartily. “Well, it is time to whistle!”

The steam whistle of Jiangyue rang again as they talked and smiled.

However, none of them noticed, or more exactly, they couldn’t see the colorful aurora, which was hung in the sky as if it was an opening curtain…

———— split line ————

“I want to have a girlfriend!”

In the cla.s.sroom, a “monkey” walked back and forth in front of Xu Shenxing’s desk, trying to draw his attention. “I want to take a walk with my girlfriend in the university; I want to rest my head on my girlfriend’s knee; I want to eat my girlfriend’s ‘Wife’s Bento’!”

“Even you say that to me…” Xu Shenxing looked at him and said in a dispirited and exhausted voice.

Last night, He witnessed the beautiful but disturbing aurora of Spirit Qi. However, he and Qin Xingyan searched till the Aurora disappeared at dawn, they still couldn’t find anything strange.

In the end, they had to regard it as “one of the supernatural phenomena caused by the rising of Spirit Qi”.

Because of it, Xu Shenxing was a little sleepy now.

As for Qin Xingyan… he prayed that she wouldn’t fall from her flying sword due to drowsy driving…

“Except you, I can’t find anyone else help me!”

Tears flew down from his face, which made him look quite funny. “You captured Qin Xingyan’s heart by just a halfway party! And recently, even ‘G.o.ddess’ Song also follows you around. However, the most unforgivable point is you have such a lovely sister! At least, at least! Please let Moli marry me!”

“Go to h.e.l.l.” Xu Shenxing said without hesitation.

“My brother-in-law, please just say ok to me! This is my request for a lifetime!”

“Monkey” shamelessly kneeled in front of Xu Shenxing.

“Go to h.e.l.l, and enjoy the most painful punishment there!” Xu Shenxing said without hesitation again.

“What a siscon you are!”

“Monkey” pounced towards Xu Shenxing. However, Xu Shenxing easily dodged his attack. Afterwards, “Monkey” collided with the four-eyes monitor, who was sat behind Xu Shenxing and was too late too dodge.

Due to this, monitor’s expensive new iphone fell on the ground. It swirled and slipped to the side of Xu Shenxing.

Xu Shenxing sighed. He picked up the iphone and was going to give it back to the monitor, but the picture on the screen caught his eyes.

It seemed that the four-eyes monitor was using it to view the news. The headline of the news was “The Citizens of Jiangjin City Protesting against the Plan to Abandon Jiangyue Railway Line”. The picture was about the protesters. They held small wooden signs and took a long banner.

However, it wasn’t the main problem. The main problem was that he could clearly see Monkey’s face among these protesters.

In the picture, his left cheek painted with “Traitors of the Chinese People!” and his right cheek painted with “Get out of Jiangjin City!”. In his hand, he held a wooden sign which marked “Let’s go against the plan of abandon Jiangyue Line together!”.

To be honest, it was completely another person if you compared with his perverted appearance in the University.

“Oh, this.” He leaned over his head and looked at the picture on the screen of the iphone. “My dad used to be a driver for this old train, and I grew up in the train. Now, they are planning to knock down Jiangyue Line, I naturally will stand out to protest it.”(ED:Homeless guy spotted!!)

“Unfortunately, your protests has no effect.”

The monitor pushed his gla.s.ses up his nose. Maybe it was because he felt unhappy because he was knocked down; maybe he simply wanted to retort. He said, “From the news, it seems that the munic.i.p.al government doesn’t intend to withdraw their plan. They have been put the development plan on the agenda.”

“Then I will go to protest again.” “Monkey” shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent expression.

“I! Have! Told! You! They won’t withdraw their planning scheme simply because of your protests!” The monitor’s pitch was getting higher and higher. “Do you think it’s an easy thing to make a plan?!”

It rarely happens, but “monkey” wasn’t overwhelmed by the monitor’s high pitch voice. He retorted, “But if you don’t have a try, how could you know it’s impossible?!”

“This is the reason! Your stubborn personality let you project without any improvement! If you continue like this, I am afraid that the university will withdraw your budget and your right of use the laboratory!”

“It’s none of your business! Monitor!”

Xu Shenxing didn’t want to be involved in their quarrel. He picked his ears, then sneaked off, staying far from the crowd of spectators.

He had no cla.s.ses in the afternoon. Although it was an attractive option to stay at home, but his tragic financial situation gave him no other choice. He had to start looking for a new part-time job.

“I hope I can work longer this time…”
