Chapter 11, Episode 0011: On the Train

Ren Yan looked at her with concern; the usually quick-witted woman was now speechless.

Fortunately, Lin Yuexi quickly calmed down and slowly got up to change her clothes.

Ren Yan breathed a sigh of relief and went forward to tidy the bed, saying, "Aunt Zhang told me before she left that you should give this quilt to Erhua next door."

The house they live in does not belong to any individual. If Leng Zhi transfers the house, it must be returned to the state. Now, all their personal belongings inside should be sent away or given away.

All that was left were the blankets and sheets that Lin Yuexi had just been sleeping on.

As for Ren Yan, who owes more than two thousand yuan in debt, she is even more reluctant to waste anything.

Although Lin Yuexi's health has improved a lot after nearly a month of treatment, it is still far from being as healthy as it used to be.

Therefore, apart from food, drink, and necessities for the journey, Grandpa Leng instructed them not to bring any luggage on the train. The only task for the people traveling with them was to take care of Lin Yuexi.

All of their luggage was mailed.

Lin Yuexi had little appetite. After eating a few mouthfuls of plain porridge, she left the rest to Ren Yan. What was a difficult task for Lin Yuexi was just a few mouthfuls for Ren Yan.

The train leaves at 6:30. It normally takes about an hour to drive from here to the train station, but the bus ride is even slower, so they need to leave earlier.

It's only 4:30 now.

Her father asked the bodyguard of Chief of Staff Fu next door to drive her there. When they passed the military nursing home, they picked up Uncle Fang, Uncle Wei and Uncle Liu.

It's hard to say whether to say that leaving this trip felt like being kicked out, or that her weak body was simply too useless. Lin Yuexi fell into a drowsy sleep again shortly after getting into the car.

She wasn't completely asleep; she knew what was happening outside, but she remained in a daze and couldn't wake up.

When I woke up, I was already on a train.

Ren Yan was simple-minded, but that didn't stop her from being attentive. She had already figured out Lin Yuexi's habits. When she saw Lin Yuexi's hand clench slightly into a loose fist, which was a sign that she was awake, she immediately rushed to the bedside.

He called out to the person on the upper bunk, "Uncle Liu, come quick and see if Xixi is awake?"

Liu Huai, who was already over fifty years old, jumped down from the upper bunk. Uncle Wei, who was in the bunk next to Lin Yuexi, also craned his neck to look in their direction with concern.

Lin Yuexi opened her eyes and was dazed for a while before she came to her senses. She looked around and saw that this was a sleeper car with eight beds. It wasn't full. Besides her own people, there was also a tall, handsome soldier who was so cold that he was practically icy.

At that moment, the soldier was also looking in her direction, his deep gaze giving the impression that he was scrutinizing her.

Their eyes met for a few seconds, then they both casually looked away.

Huo Han's first impression: This girl is indeed in poor health, just as Leng Xingchen said.

My second thought: With this kind of physical condition, how many days can I stay in the countryside?
"Are we already on the train? Hello Uncle Liu, hello Uncle Wei, where's Uncle Fang?"

Liu Huai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that although she didn't look well, she was still awake. Ginseng Nourishing Pills were indeed a good thing that ancient emperors used to nourish their bodies. They could be used to maintain health in ordinary times and to save lives in critical moments.

If this girl were in her old body, she would probably be unconscious and in need of emergency treatment right now.

The old man truly loved his granddaughter from the bottom of his heart. He managed to get two bottles of Rensheng Yangrong Pills from Old Chen. He gave one bottle to the little girl early on and the other to him when he left, just so that the little girl could safely get through the three days and two nights on the train.

A bottle costs several thousand yuan, and he couldn't bear to take a single pill himself. He used all twenty-four of his pills on his granddaughter, who is not related to him by blood.

Regardless of what he was thinking, Liu Huai didn't show it on his face, and replied with a smile, "The train just left. Old Fang is a busybody and can't stay here, so he said he'd go out for a walk." Lin Yuexi looked at him speechlessly: Is she still a child?

Liu Huai realized that he had been treating the girl like a baby again, and he wasn't used to it.

However, he was always thick-skinned and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Just as he was about to change the subject, the carriage door was opened and the person they were talking about walked in.

Seeing that Lin Yuexi had woken up, Uncle Fang's anxious expression instantly turned into a smile. "Xixi is awake. Is anything bothering you?"

Lin Yuexi shook her head and replied with a smile, "No, the pills Grandpa gave me were very effective, and I'm much better now."

It was definitely uncomfortable. Even in a sleeper berth, the swaying of the train, the confined space, and the noise of the train all put considerable stress on her frail body.

Now she not only feels tightness in her chest and shortness of breath, but also feels as if tens of thousands of needles are stabbing into her head.

No one in the carriage believed her; everyone knew she was just being sensible and trying to comfort them.

His face was as white as paper, how could he be alright?

No one refuted her. Uncle Wei and the others knew that it was already a blessing that she was still awake, and Huo Han felt that he was just an outsider and couldn't say anything.

This was also the only time Lin Yuexi was conscious on the train.

After eating something and being forced by Liu Huai to take a Yangrong Pill, Liu Huai took out a few silver needles and put her into a deep sleep, which lasted until the train arrived.

When Ren Yan carried Lin Yuexi out of the car, her eyes still held a hint of fear as she looked at the smiling Liu Huai.

Uncle Wei said that Dr. Liu was responsible for treating Xixi in case something happened to her on the train. So that's how he treated her.

Traditional Chinese medicine is terrifying!

If I can make you sleep for as many days as I want, does that mean I can make you wake up at whatever time I want?
Staying in bed is impossible with traditional Chinese medicine, right?

As if to confirm Ren Yan's guess, Liu Huai had already given Lin Yuexi acupuncture before getting off the train. As if timing it perfectly, Lin Yuexi woke up shortly after sitting in the wheelchair.

The surrounding noise was so loud it gave her a headache, a physical headache.

Ren Yan knew that Lin Yuexi was feeling unwell again when she saw her frown. Liu Huai had already placed the Yangrong Pill with her, so she quickly took it out, poured one out, and fed it to Lin Yuexi.

When Dr. Liu gave it to her, he only told her to give it to Xixi. She didn't understand the other reasons. She only knew that Dr. Liu had specially given Xixi this pill before she fell asleep, so it must be a good thing. Now that Xixi was feeling unwell, she should take one first.

None of them had any luggage. The only small package contained food that Ren Yan had made, which they had already finished eating on the train. Compared to the group of people who got off the train with large and small bags, these few people with empty hands looked particularly strange.

Fortunately, everyone was pushing their way out, and no one paid them much attention.

Ren Yan originally wanted to push Lin Yuexi out of the station, but seeing the crowded scene, she gave up the idea and carried Lin Yuexi on her back instead.

Lin Yuexi had become accustomed to being carried or carried by Ren Yan, so she naturally wrapped her arms around Ren Yan's neck to steady herself.

Turning his head unintentionally, he saw the cold-faced soldier from the same carriage walking with Uncle Wei. Uncle Wei was even helping him carry his luggage, and the two were clearly familiar with each other.

Perhaps they met on the train because they were both soldiers, Lin Yuexi thought, and withdrew her gaze without paying too much attention.
