Era: You're asked to cook a home-style dish, but you cook Wellington.

Three days later, Gao Yang boarded a green train bound for Yuncheng.

Actually, last time, after learning at the hospital that the two arsonists had confessed, he wanted to go with them, but Su Wanqing and Old Man Lin absolutely refused to let him go.

Not only that, Su Wanqing also used the pretext of the Green Dragon Gang's retaliation to shut down the Haoting Hotel and force him to take a leave of absence.

"Sigh, I don't know what this woman is thinking."

Gao Yang rolled down the car window.

On both sides of the railway was a flower field, the flowers were in full bloom, and in the sunlight, several old people sat in the shade of the trees chatting.

Well, at least the wind is warm.

Gao Yang stretched and adjusted the small bag on his chest.

Inside the small bag was a card, a stack of three thousand yuan in cash, and a brand new pager.

All of these were arranged by Su Wanqing for Gao Yang, just in case Gao Yang didn't have enough fun on this trip and was kidnapped when he returned to Yicheng.

Taking advantage of the spring breeze, Gao Yang leaned back in his chair, pulled down his hat brim, and took a short rest.

Two men were quietly watching him from a seat not far away.

"Brother, look, this kid looks like he has a lot of money in his bag, he's protecting it so much."

"I know, keep your voice down, I'll touch it off in a bit."

After the two talked and agreed on their roles, the second brother slowly stepped forward and walked into the cramped carriage, pretending to go to the front for some fresh air.

"I'm sorry."

The second brother pretended to trip, stumbled, and fell to the ground.

Gao Yang wasn't actually fast asleep. When he opened his eyes and saw this scene, he instinctively reached out to help him up.

The eldest brother also made his timely appearance at this moment.

"Kind person, thank you for helping my brother. My brother has difficulty walking, and I was worried about him going to the toilet alone."

Gao Yang's attention was drawn to the leader. He noticed that the person he was pulling up was unusually heavy. There was nothing he could do but hold the person's elbow and let the person press against his body.

"Young man, you're not from around here, are you? Are you here to visit Yuncheng?"

Gao Yang looked up and thought the man was quite kind, so he patiently started chatting with him.

The second child was also helped up and pulled his older brother back to his seat.

"Did you succeed?"

The eldest brother lowered his voice and looked at the second brother expectantly.

The second brother raised an eyebrow and slid a wallet out of his sleeve.

"Hey bro, aren't I awesome?"

The second brother's tone was full of pride. He curled the corners of his mouth and glanced at Gao Yang with disdain.

The two men lowered their voices and furtively reached into the wallet.

"This is three thousand!"

The second son pulled out a stack of brand-new hundred-yuan bills from his wallet, totaling three thousand yuan, and then took out a bank card.

"We've struck gold! This kid's a big fish!"

The eldest brother stared wide-eyed, his breathing becoming rapid.

"Hurry up and put it away, we're jumping off the train at the next stop."

The second brother hurriedly stuffed the things back into his arms, and the two pretended nothing had happened, leaning back in their chairs and feigning sleep, their mouths practically stretched to their ears.

Little did they know, Gao Yang had seen all of this.

Gao Yang pulled down the brim of his hat, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Before long, the train stopped in Yuncheng, and a small group of people got off the train, pulling suitcases and carrying snakeskin bags.

"Brother, let's go! After pulling off this job today, we'll definitely treat ourselves to a good meal!"

Upon arriving in Yuncheng, the second brother took out his wallet and proudly waved it at his eldest brother.

"Walk!"

The eldest brother also had a beaming smile on his face.

Just then.

"Thief, stop right there! Don't run!"

A clear female voice broke the silence, causing people on the road to stop in their tracks, and the two pickpockets also shuddered and looked toward the source of the sound.

A girl wearing a floral jacket and with her hair in a high ponytail ran over.

The girl was muttering curses under her breath, her face full of indignation.

The surrounding crowd cast curious glances, and even Gao Yang looked puzzled.

These two pickpockets only stole their own wallets, so why is it a girl who stepped forward?

"Young lady, don't make false accusations!"

The second brother got angry and, his blood boiling, immediately pointed at the girl and started cursing.

"You little wench, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up!"

The girl sneered and made a move to rush over and snatch the wallet from the old man's hand.

The second brother refused, and the eldest brother was unwilling as well. They exchanged a glance and quickly put the wallet into their pockets.

"Be careful!"

Seeing that the two pickpockets were really about to attack a young girl, Gao Yang rushed forward, tripped the eldest with a sweeping leg, and then grabbed the second one, pinning him to the ground, unable to move.

"Oh, it's you. I remember now, your wallet was stolen. I didn't know you knew some kung fu."

The girl took a wallet out of the second brother's pocket and handed it to Gao Yang.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

On the platform, a group of police officers gathered around.

Seeing that the two had no chance of escaping, Gao Yang released them and took his wallet from the girl.

Yes, very good, no money was short.

…………

When I left the police station, it was nearly afternoon, and there wasn't much time left before dark.

Looking at the blue bricks and gray tiles in front of him, Gao Yang was momentarily at a loss for words.

In this life, on my first visit to Yuncheng, I actually went to the police station first.

"How about that? I'm pretty good, aren't I? If it weren't for me, those two pickpockets would have gotten away long ago, and your money would be gone!"

Beside him, the little girl from before was extremely noisy, constantly trying to take credit.

Gao Yang was speechless.

"Hey, if you hadn't yelled that, I would have already taken the wallet back myself, and I wouldn't have had to go to the police station."

The girl was quite dissatisfied upon hearing this; she pouted, her tone full of arrogance.

"Keep bragging. Without me, you wouldn't even know your wallet was stolen."

"Besides, my name isn't 'Hey,' it's Lin Xiaoyu."

A black line immediately appeared on Gao Yang's forehead.

"I don't want to know your name either. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, I'm leaving. Goodbye."

Gao Yang really didn't want to have anything to do with the girl in front of him. He came out to relax, and if she came every day like this, he might as well not come at all and just go back.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoyu seemed to have no sense of propriety and kept trying to get closer to Gao Yang.

"Judging from your accent, you're not a local, are you? Do you have a place to stay? My family owns a hotel. Why don't you come stay at my place? I'll give you a discount."

Lin Xiaoyu's head was completely turned towards Gao Yang, as if she would pounce on him if he disagreed.

amount.

Gao Yang was even more speechless.

This doesn't sound like a compliment at all.

He recalled that in those days, pimping was not strictly regulated, and many middlemen would use various methods to bring tourists to their establishments.

Could she be one of them?

But she's so young, it's probably impossible.

Seeing that Gao Yang hadn't spoken for a long time, Lin Xiaoyu made up her mind and pulled Gao Yang into a taxi.

"Let's go, driver, to the old alley restaurant."

Gao Yang saw that the taxi driver was looking at the two of them deeply through the rearview mirror, and then nodded after a moment.

Gao Yang leaned against the car window, resting quietly without saying a word.

The old green trains of that era were truly grueling; the constant rattling and creaking of the trains during the earthquake left him with no chance to get a proper rest.

Lin Xiaoyu slowly fell asleep.

No one on the bus saw the slight smile that appeared on Gao Yang's lips.

"Judging by her age, she's Su Wanqing's younger sister. How interesting!"

He was silently thinking about something.
