Chapter 1

It was hot in the summer, and it was the hottest time of the day. The scenery between heaven and earth seemed to be distorted by the sun, and the heat wave was coming towards her, making it difficult to breathe.

It was even hotter on the train platform. The waiting people kept looking around, sweating profusely while waiting for the arrival of the train. No matter what they were holding in their hands, it served as a fan at this time.

Although Yunshan Station is only a small county-level station, the beautiful scenery here has attracted many tourists due to the tourism development of Yunshan County. It is summer vacation now, so the daily passenger flow of this small station is very considerable.

A high-speed train bound for H City is about to arrive at the station, and many people are standing on the platform. Although everyone is queuing, there are three or even four rows of people at each point.

The platform staff shouted several times to line up and not to crowd, but everyone remained unmoved. The short two-minute stop time, coupled with the hot weather, made everyone very anxious and eager to get on the train.

A girl holding a red umbrella, standing away from the crowd, seemed particularly abrupt at this time.

The girl is tall and thin, wearing a light blue oblique collar buttoned cotton and linen long-sleeved shirt, an indigo pleated long skirt, a pair of silver bells hanging on the side of her waist, and embroidered cloth shoes on her feet, which is very simple and literary. The red umbrella blocked her appearance, and only her hand holding the red umbrella could be seen to be very white.

She stood there quietly with a red umbrella, and there seemed to be a barrier around her, which prevented her from being attacked by the heat wave and gave her a cool feeling.

Before everyone had time to think about it, the train came, and the impatient people all raised their salutes and looked ready to move. The staff kept blowing whistles, asking those who stepped on the line to step back.

The door of the carriage opened, and before all the people on the train got off, some people couldnt wait to squeeze in, causing the door to be blocked for a while, which aroused everyones dissatisfaction.

"First get off and then get on, why are some people so anxious!"

Rong Li raised the red umbrella slightly, still standing there calmly, until everyone walked in, she made a move. It seemed that she was not in a hurry, but she walked into the carriage from a few meters away. Just after she stood still for a while, the train started.

The carriage was very lively, Rong Li glanced inside, and walked straight to her seat.

"Sorry, this is my seat, youre sitting in the wrong seat." Rong Li walked to her seat and found that an old lady had taken her seat. She took out her ticket and checked it again. When she was sure it was her seat, she spoke.

The old lady looked at Rong Li and then rolled her eyes. She was like a nail in the seat, with no intention of moving at all.

Rong Li put his ticket in front of the old lady and raised his voice: "This is my seat..."

"What do you mean your seat? Is it your name? Or is this train yours?" The old lady waved Rong Lis hand away impatiently, with a look of contempt on her face: "You didnt come up in advance to take a seat, and you wanted to find a seat as soon as you got on slowly. How can it be so good?"

Rong Li recognized that this old lady was the one who squeezed in without waiting for anyone to get off the train just now, causing a small traffic jam.

"This is my seat, please move out of the way." Rong Lis voice sank.

The old lady remained motionless, still full of sarcasm, and started to yell:

"Young people nowadays are so uncultured that they actually talk to their elders like this. If it were my child, I would have slapped him long ago. Not to mention that you dont have to sit in designated seats on the train, even if you do, whats wrong with me sitting in your seat? Do you understand respecting the elderly and loving the young? What did your parents and teachers teach you? You dont even want to give up your seat. You look like a dog. With this kind of quality, what can you accomplish in the future!"

Rong Li looked at the old lady quietly, his eyes, which were larger and darker than those of ordinary people, looked even darker at this time.

"What are you looking at! How can you stare at your elders like this? You really have no manners at all! I dont know what you ate to grow up like this. In our time, no one would want a girl like you." The old lady was frightened by the stare, and she sprayed back with bluffing, like a watering can.

Rong Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and put one hand on the back of the chair without making a sound. Before he could move, the girl sitting next to him listened for a long time, and at this time she could no longer hold back and said: "This kind of person is unreasonable. I will help you find the conductor and ask her to come and take care of it."

After saying that, without waiting for Rong Lis reaction, she ran to find the conductor in a hurry. The old lady snorted coldly and still didnt take it seriously.

The conductor was soon called over, looked at Rong Lis ticket, and then checked the old ladys ticket, and found that the old ladys ticket was a standing ticket.

"Auntie, you have a standing ticket, there is no seat, this seat belongs to this girl, please give way." The conductor advised.

The young girl who found the conductor also joined in, and persuaded her with emotion and reason, but the old lady let everyone blow the wind and rain, and still insisted on not wavering.

"Whats wrong with me sitting down? Young people nowadays will die if they stand up! Im so old, but I dont know how to give up my seat. Do I know what is propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame? Its really heartbreaking. Everyone gets old one day. Such a small matter is so aggressive. Its really a dogs stomach that has been read into a dogs stomach!"

The aunt scolded and cried, saying that she was in pain here and there, and she was in poor health because of her old age. She took more medicine than food. The little girl in front of her forced herself to stand. She was so cruel and vicious.

The people on the train looked at the ruddy and strong aunt and shook their heads. When they were squeezing into the train just now, even the strong men were squeezed to the back by her. Like a martial artist, how many times did she say that she was old, sick, and disabled and turned into Lin Daiyu?

"You are sick, and you are sick?" Rong Li suddenly began.

The old lady who was full of energy just now collapsed on the seat, coughing and saying, "I am so old, how can I be healthy? I feel weak all over, my waist and legs ache, and I cant get off the train in a while, and I need someone to help me get a wheelchair."

"How can you be like this!" Lu Yiting, the girl who helped find the conductor, was immediately angry when she heard such words. Although it was none of her business, she just couldnt stand it.

Usually in the news and forums, I often see some disrespectful people on the bus who use moral kidnapping to force others to give up their seats, but this is the first time I have seen it in real life, and it is a train that requires seat numbers!

Witnessing the other partys rogue appearance directly on the spot is much more infuriating than hearing it from others.

"How can you talk like that, little girl? I didnt sit in your seat, and no one said anything. Why are you making a fuss? This society has people like you, so it has become so indifferent."

Lu Yiting was so angry that she wanted to say something, but was patted on the shoulder by a pair of hands.

She looked up and saw the girl whose seat was occupied smiling at her. Lu Yiting was slightly stunned, and was once again attracted by the girls beautiful and delicate face. The girls skin was so white that it seemed to glow, and her temperament was like a hand patting her shoulder, soft and cool. Being stared at by the other persons beautiful eyes, no matter how angry she was, she would be extinguished.

"You are sick, very sick, right?" Rong Li spoke again.

"Didnt I just tell you that you are deaf at such a young age!" The aunt felt uncomfortable and a little scared when she heard it. Isnt this cursing herself, but in order to occupy the seat, she still spoke without taboos: "Yes, I am old and very sick. You insist that I stand. If I have any problems, you pay for my treatment."

"Whatever you say is what it is." Rong Li held a long red umbrella and tapped the ground three times. No one noticed her action, and no one took it to heart.

After saying that, she did not continue to pester, and turned to the conductor to let her solve her seat problem. When you buy a seat ticket, you have a contract and the right to sit. Now that it has been deprived by others and cannot be coordinated, the staff will be responsible for solving it.

Although the conductor could not solve the problem of occupying seats, he did not shirk at this time and took Rong Li to the business class seat where there were still vacancies.

When the aunt saw Rong Li leaving, she sneered, glared at Lu Yiting beside her, and closed her eyes and went to sleep.

She suddenly felt very tired all over, probably because she had been running around in the past few days, so now she was a little tired after relaxing.

This wave, which was not big or small, quickly subsided on the surface.

It was dark when Yunshan County arrived in S City. Lu Yiting finally got off the train and was waiting at the door with her luggage when she was ready to enter the station.

After more than eight hours of train, she couldnt sit still. In addition, she was also worried that the unreasonable aunt next to her would do something else. Along the way, the aunt kept coughing and humming, and kept ordering her to make hot water for instant noodles and take out the garbage. If I ignore her, the old lady will start to nag again... If I cant drink this hot water or eat this instant noodles, its your fault.

Lu Yiting didnt want to be nagged all the way. Although she knew that the other party was just pretending, she could only help this, it was just a small favor.

Now she was about to reach the terminal, and she didnt want to be pestered again. She couldnt lift the luggage, so she hurried to get off the train.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Yiting quickly squeezed out of the train, as if someone was chasing her.

Just as she was about to get off the underground passage at the exit, she was patted on the shoulder. Looking back, it was the girl whose seat was occupied before.

"Thank you just now." Rong Li smiled.

Lu Yiting was distracted again. This girl is really beautiful, no worse than a star. Her temperament is also outstanding, and she looks very beautiful with a simple braid.

Lu Yiting was a little embarrassed: "Dont be so polite, I didnt do anything."

There were many people leaving the station, and the escalator was lined with many people. The two chatted while waiting.

"I dont think you are from H City from your accent. Are you here to play?" Lu Yiting chatted.

"Im here to find my dad. I havent been here before."

Lu Yiting asked curiously: "Dad? Are you from Yunshan County? I seem to have heard some locals call their dads like this."

"Yes, Im from Yunshan County."

"Your place is so beautiful, and the people are so nice. I want to live there permanently." Lu Yitings eyes lit up.

Yunshan County is a remote area. There are many ethnic minority gathering places in the deep mountains, which are very unique. It was relatively closed in the past, so it was not well-known. In recent years, with the development of tourism, it has gradually become well-known.

When Lu Yiting saw the scenery and cultural buildings there on the Internet, she liked it immediately. After reading the guide and introduction, she felt that the commercialization here was not so serious, so she took advantage of this holiday to go there to relax.

When she came to Yunshan County, she found that it was better than the introduction. The scenery was beautiful, and the locals were very simple and hospitable, which made her very satisfied with this trip. When she heard that the other party was from Yunshan County, she had a better impression of her.

"If you have time to go there in the future, I can be your tour guide. The places that are being developed now are only a small part, and you outsiders don鈥檛 know the really beautiful places."

"Really? That鈥檚 a deal. Let鈥檚 add WeChat. My name is Lu Yiting, what about you?"

"My name is Rong Li, I don鈥檛 have WeChat."

Lu Yiting was stunned. She didn鈥檛 expect that there were still young people who didn鈥檛 have WeChat. Yunshan County vendors all had WeChat scan code payment. But when she learned that Rong Li not only didn鈥檛 have WeChat but also didn鈥檛 have a mobile phone, she was even more surprised. Is there anyone who doesn鈥檛 have a mobile phone now? How inconvenient it is to go out, she couldn鈥檛 imagine it.

Although Yunshan County is a poor county with many poor mountain people, Rong Li is obviously not one of them.

Her clothes are all hand-dyed, with excellent craftsmanship and not cheap. She should not be a poor household who cannot afford a mobile phone.

In Yunshan County, only mountain people in the deep mountains wear hand-made clothes. Those mountain people rarely go out. Some of them have never left the village in their lives and still retain their ancient living habits. Only when going to the market in the town will you occasionally meet them.

Lu Yiting originally thought that Rong Li was a girl who went for literary and retro style, but now it seems that she is probably a mountain person in the deep mountains, so she dresses like this. Locals say that some mountain people like to keep the most primitive living habits and are not interested in modern things.

"Does your father know that you are here today? Has he been waiting for you at the exit?"

Rong Li shook her head: "I havent seen my father since I was a child, and I didnt get through the phone number he left before."

Lu Yiting was even more worried when she heard it.

Rong Li is a simple and weak girl at first glance, and she is so beautiful. How dangerous it is for her to go out aloneIts dangerous!

"Have you found a place to live?"

Rong Li reported an address, and Lu Yiting was surprised and happy: "What a coincidence, I live in this direction, not far away, we can carpool together later."

Lu Yitings place is a bit remote, there is no subway there, the last bus has stopped, and she can only take a taxi back. Its a bit scary to go alone because you have to pass through a desolate place, but its much safer to go with two people.

"Okay."

Lu Yiting used the taxi app to call a fast car. I dont know if Im too worried, but I always feel that the driver keeps looking back, and that look makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

Thinking that Rong Li is so beautiful, its normal to attract the driver to look at her more. But to be safe, she kept staring at the route on the way.

Lu Yiting lived closer, and she was a little worried when she was about to get off the car: "You get off here with me, stay with me tonight, and go to where you want to go tomorrow."

"Im not far away, thank you."

After all, the two met by chance and were still strangers. Lu Yiting didnt want to force it, and glanced at the driver: "Then call me when you get there, I can see your route on my phone."

The car drove away, and the driver, who had been silent, began to chat with Rong Li: "Little sister, from your accent, you are from another place?"

"Yes, this is my first time in H City."

"The road where you are going is under construction, and you cant get there. Ill take you around from another way." The driver said as he accelerated, and when he passed by one place, he quietly clicked "arrival" on his phone.

Rong Li raised his eyes and looked at the rearview mirror in the car, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, gentle and polite: "Okay, whatever you want."
