Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1259 Helping to the End

Upon hearing this, Wang An clicked his tongue and immediately wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to agree so readily with that stupid mouth of his?

It was obvious that these passengers intended to unload the robbers from the vehicle and then deal with them outside. This way, they could not only protect the passengers' safety but also allow the passengers to act without restraint.

After thinking for a moment, Wang An said:

"I'm not trying to be mean, comrade, but with just this one thing and a double-barreled shotgun with its barrel sawed off, you old folks couldn't even take him down?"

The main problem was that it was freezing cold outside, and it was pitch black, so Wang An was too lazy to get out of the car and chase the robbers.

Besides, bullets don't have eyes. What if Wang An gets hit by one?
The man, Cheng Jing, shook his head, his face full of worry, and said:
"It wasn't just him, it was a total of 10. There were 9 more over the hard seats, all of them were going to jump off the train."

Upon hearing this, Wang An's eyes widened in disbelief, and he said:
"I'm not trying to be mean, but you guys went through all that work and didn't manage to take care of a single one?"

A total of 15 robbers boarded the train, 6 in the sleeper berths and 9 in the hard seats. Wang An took down 5 of them by himself, but he couldn't take down any of the robbers in the hard seats.

Where can you go to seek justice on this day after day?

After Wang An finished speaking, Cheng Jing, who was slightly shorter, looked very depressed and his face was full of sorrow as he said:

"The hard seats are already packed with people, and we don't dare to make a move. What if we hurt a few more innocent people? How can we do our job then? We came here to agree to the demands of those nine robbers, thinking of asking the driver to slow down. Who would have thought there was another group here?"

Wang An blinked, speechless. There was nothing he could do; the safety of the people was always the most important thing. If he were in the well, he wouldn't have any better options either.

Wang An gestured with his eyes to the robbers on the ground and said:

"What should we do with these five things? Where should we put them? Don't you need to deal with them at all?"

This well said:

"You've crippled all of them, so don't worry about it. They can't escape anyway."

Another person, Chengjing, gestured with his chin in the direction of Wang Li and Mu Xueli, and said:

"How's your two buddies' marksmanship? Could they lend a hand?"

Wang An rolled his eyes at Cheng Jing and said:
"How are you going to recruit them? Are you trying to seize laborers? We have our own work to do too. If we all go to help you, what will happen to our work? Besides, we've already gotten rid of five of them for you."

Before Wang An could finish speaking, Cheng Jing interrupted him:

"We're all brother units, so we should help each other out to the end. Besides, we're also short of resources here."

To be honest, things were very different back then compared to later generations. At that time, the emphasis was on mutual help, especially among people in the same profession. It was as if helping each other was a matter of course.

The key point is that before Wang An and the other two came out, Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya had mentioned this kind of thing, that is, in case anything happens, they can ask the local well authorities for help, and of course, the reverse is also true.

Wang An thought for a moment and said:
"Alright, what's the next step? Should we just kill them or capture them alive?"

This well said:

"Our captain said that if we can capture someone alive, we will capture them alive; if they dare to resist with a gun, we will shoot them dead."

Wang An glanced at the night outside and muttered to himself:

"It's so dark here, I don't even know where to aim, damn it."

Ignoring Wang An's complaints, the slightly shorter Cheng Jing said to his colleague:
"Xiao Zhao, I'm going to the cockpit. You and Comrade Xiao Wang tie these guys up."

As he spoke, he pulled two silver bracelets from his lower back and handed them to Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao took the bracelets and replied, "Okay, Brother Sui, I understand."

After saying that, the man called Brother Sui turned and ran towards the front of the car near compartment 11, while the man called Xiao Zhao handed the two silver bracelets to Wang An and said matter-of-factly:
“I have two more sets here. Let’s chain them together, then none of them will be able to escape.”

Five robbers, four pairs of silver bracelets were definitely not enough. The missing pair was made by Wang An pulling out the shoelace of one of the robbers and using it to tie the fingers and wrists of the last two robbers together.

As for whether the robbers' wounds on their arms and wrists were bleeding or painful, no one even glanced at them, because they deserved it. If they hadn't boarded the train to rob passengers of their money and belongings, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

After all the robbers were tied up, the train sounded a long whistle.

Normally, a train starts to slow down after sounding its whistle three times.

Wang An suddenly said to Mu Xueli beside him:

"I'm getting off the bus with Lao Wu in a bit, so keep an eye on them."

Then, in a very low voice, he said, "The main thing is to keep an eye on our own things under the bed."

That's right, what Wang An mentioned about under the bed was actually the tattered sack that Wang An and his two companions had taken.

Because Wang An's sack contained a considerable amount of money, a full 1 yuan.

There's no way around it these days; everyone carries cash when they go out. No matter how much money you need, you have to carry cash yourself. If you're in another city, you can only wire money; there's no such thing as a bank transfer.

Wang An put the money in the sack for two reasons. First, 10,000 yuan was a full ten stacks of ten-yuan notes, and carrying them around felt quite awkward.

On the other hand, there's the "blind spot" reason, because many people can't imagine that someone would dare to put 1 yuan in such a tattered sack, which was just carelessly thrown under the bed.

I still remember when Wang An was in his previous life, there was a man who made a fortune outside. He carried the money back in a tattered sack full of patches, and he was also dressed in tattered clothes.

Mu Xueli nodded upon hearing this and said to Wang An:

"Yeah, don't worry, brother-in-law, everything will be fine."

Wang An then said:
"The train might have to wait for us at the next station. If it doesn't, then you can wait for us at Fengtian Railway Station."

Turning his head, Wang An said to Wang Li:

"When you jump out of the car, remember to hold your breath and then jump diagonally forward. Otherwise, if we cripple ourselves before the robbers catch us, how frustrating would that be?"
Wang Li asked casually:

"Brother-in-law, what's the deal with jumping out of a moving car? Why do you have to jump forward? Wouldn't jumping straight up or diagonally backward be the same?"

Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li and said:

"Are you stupid? The train is going so fast, if you jump backward, how much inertia would that be? You'd probably fall and die!"

Although Wang Li only understood half of what he was saying, he was good at listening to Wang An.

As they were talking, the train whistle sounded for the second time, followed by a third.

The train's speed gradually began to decrease.
Wang An struggled to open the car window, and a gust of cold wind instantly rushed into the compartment.
