Chapter 9 Catching the Thief
Chapter 9 Catching the Thief
Zhou Song heard their conversation and looked at the package in his hand. Just now, these three people got on the train.
He looked around and saw that everyone was carrying large and small bags, but he only had this package in his arms, which contained a set of clothes.
Although it is hot now, what will I do when the weather gets colder in a while?
The train started moving, and after about two or three hours, people began to take out dry food from their bags and eat it.
Tao Jin looked at the watch on his hand at this time. It turned out to be noon. No wonder he felt a little hungry.
Tao Jin's action of looking at his watch attracted the attention of Zhao Jingshu and Lin Le, and they also looked down at their watches.
When Zhou Song saw this scene, he felt even more uncomfortable, because the four of them were clearly going to the same village.
But those three all had watches, but I had never even touched a watch. My inferiority complex was self-evident.
When talking about lunch, Zhao Jingshu took out two white flour buns from his bag.
Lin Le also took out four buns from his arms and generously handed one to Tao Jin.
"This is the bun my mother made. Please have some."
As he spoke, he distributed the food to Zhao Jingshu and Zhou Song.
Tao Jin looked at the generous girl in front of him and took the bun with a smile.
Zhao Jingshu also took the buns and handed two steamed buns to Lin Le, saying.
"I bought this steamed bun at a state-owned restaurant."
Zhou Song took the bun a little embarrassedly, although he also felt embarrassed to take someone else's bun.
But he was too greedy. He knew the buns were meat buns as soon as he smelled them, and he wondered how delicious they must be.
At this time, Tao Jin also took out the braised pork rolls from her bag.
Before getting on the car, Tao's mother prepared a lot of food for her, which she put in the space. Now that she had eaten Lin Le's buns, she naturally had to bring back some meat.
That's why she took out the braised pork roll from the space under the cover of her bag and handed it to Lin Le.
After thinking about it, he handed one to Zhou Song and Zhao Jingshu.
Lin Le happily took the braised pork roll, smelled it and said.
"It smells so good, is that braised meat?"
Then I carefully put it away and prepared to eat it in the evening.
Tao Jin nodded and said that it was the braised meat my mother had braised that was wrapped inside.
This was the first time Zhao Jingshu had heard of this way of eating. He stared at the braised pork roll in his hand with some curiosity, put the steamed bun away, and decided to eat the braised pork roll now.
He also took two steamed buns and handed them to Tao Jin.
"I only brought steamed buns, please have some."
Tao Jin took the steamed bun generously without any complaint.
After Zhou Song took the braised pork roll, he felt a little embarrassed. His bag was filled with some coarse grain steamed buns, and he felt a little embarrassed to take them out.
But everyone returned the gift, so Zhou Song still gritted his teeth and took out three multi-grain steamed buns from his bag.
He had prepared these three multi-grain steamed buns for the journey, and handed them to Zhao Jingshu, Lin Le, and Tao Jin.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think of preparing so much, so I only brought coarse grain steamed bread."
Lin Le was very generous. He took it and said it was okay, and the steamed buns were delicious.
Zhao Jingshu did not comment. He took the steamed cornbread and handed two steamed buns to Zhou Song.
Tao Jin took the steamed bun and put it in her bag. She didn't want to eat the steamed bun, but she still nodded to express her gratitude.
Along the way, the four young men quickly became familiar with each other, and when they went to bed at night.
All of Tao Jin's valuables were in the space, so after sitting on the train for such a long time, he naturally fell asleep.
It was also the first time for Zhao Jingshu and Lin Le to leave home and take a train alone, so they fell asleep without any hesitation.
When they were sleeping soundly, they suddenly heard Zhou Song's voice roaring.
"what are you doing?"
After being awakened, the three looked at Zhou Song, only to find that Zhou Song suddenly grabbed the arm of a middle-aged man.
The man was short and hunched over. It was dark and not bright, so his facial features could be seen clearly, but it was obvious that Zhou Song's hand, which was holding his, was reaching into Zhao Jingshu's bag.
Zhao Jingshu was also shocked. This time when he went to the countryside, his family gave him a lot of money, which was all stuffed in this bag.
If the money was taken away by someone, he wouldn’t know how he would survive in the countryside.
The man obviously didn't expect to be caught, starting from the moment these four people got in the car.
He had been observing and locked onto the family conditions of those three, and they seemed to have good conditions.
But he never expected that he would be caught. He originally wanted to steal the two girls sitting by the window, but they were sleeping by the window and it was difficult to do so.
He then turned his attention to Zhao Jingshu, but unexpectedly he was caught by Zhou Song. Zhou Song habitually remained alert when sleeping. After all, this was on a train and there were many people and noisy.
At this time, most of the people on the train had been woken up, so they stood up and looked over here.
When they saw someone catch a thief, they subconsciously held their wallets tightly.
When the man saw this scene, he quickly begged for mercy to Zhou Song and Zhao Jingshu.
“It was also the first time for me that my family couldn’t afford to eat.
I have an 80-year-old mother above me and hungry children below me. If I weren't desperate, I would be dead.
I won't go this far, please.
I can tell you're from a wealthy family. If you just give me a little, many people in our family can survive."
Even though this man was acting pitiful, Zhou Song still held his hand tightly, but his eyes turned to Zhao Jingshu.
After all, it was Zhao Jingshu who was robbed, so Zhao Jingshu said forget it and he let the person go.
After receiving Zhou Song's gaze, Zhao Jingshu said indifferently,
“It’s your business if you don’t have money; you can earn money through your own labor.
You have hands and feet, and you are stealing here. Who knows if what you say is true?
Besides, if you succeed in stealing today, my life will be difficult in the future.
This matter must be handled by the train police. You don't need to play the victim anymore."
On the other side, Lin Le was moved after hearing the man's tragic experience. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he heard Tao Jin in front of him ask.
"By the way, Lin Le, do you want to go to the bathroom? You just woke up, so we can go together."
Lin Le had wanted to go to the bathroom for a long time, but she didn't dare go alone at night, so she heard Tao Jin's words.
She instantly forgot about begging for mercy and spoke quickly.
"let's go together!"
After saying that, he left with Tao Jin and watched Lin Le and Tao Jin leave.
Zhou Song and Zhao Jingshu took the man to find the flight attendant, while Zhao Jingshu stayed to help them look after the luggage.
The man didn't expect that this was a young man who seemed to care about his reputation, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless.
He was really wrong. He was used to stealing, and this was the first time he was caught by these people.
"Young man, I just realized that you are not as good as the other three.
How about this, I'll give you 50 yuan and you won't send me to the police, okay?
Me too, there was really nothing I could do, my child at home was crying and making a fuss for food.
This 50 yuan is the result of my hard work and the salary I earned working outside for a year."
