Chapter 708 Acting
After the two sat down, Liu Jingxue looked across.
There were two passengers sitting in the seats opposite, an older middle-aged man and a young man.
They look somewhat similar, so they should be father and son.
Seeing that the middle-aged man sitting by the window had clearly crossed the center line and stretched his legs toward them, Liu Jingxue rolled her eyes and continued her performance.
She smiled and said to the middle-aged man, "Uncle, excuse me, could you please pull your legs back a little?
My second brother just had surgery on his leg, and the wound hasn't healed yet. Your leg is too close to him, and I'm worried that you might accidentally kick his wound."
When the uncle heard this, he quickly retracted his legs and stuck close to his seat, keeping a long distance away from Liu Jianjun's legs.
"Girl, your second brother is a soldier, right?
From what you said, it seems that he not only has injuries on his hands, but also on his legs. What's going on?" the uncle asked curiously.
Liu Jingxue sighed and pretended to be sad, "To be honest, uncle, my second brother is indeed a soldier.
He was injured while on a mission some time ago.
He had injuries not only on his arms and legs, but also on his body.
There was a gunshot wound right in the chest, just two centimeters away from the heart.
He was in a coma for many days, and the doctors said he could not be saved, so they asked the army to notify his family to come and see him for the last time.
Liu Jingxue pretended to wipe away her tears, "Fortunately, God had mercy on me. The military hospital invited experts from other places to perform surgery on my second brother, and he was finally saved.
He was just discharged from the hospital two days ago.
The doctor said that it would take a few months of nursing care before she could finally recover.
He also mentioned a bunch of precautions, saying that one should take good care of oneself, otherwise there might be sequelae.
But the conditions in the army are harsh, and it is not a good place to recuperate.
I will take him home and let him recuperate at home."
When the passengers next to them heard this, they immediately became anxious.
"Oh, your brother is injured like this, why don't you buy sleeper tickets, but seat tickets.
This seat is not comfortable and I can't rest well.
Your brother is a wounded man and cannot sit for a long time."
“I’ve taken this train several times, and there are quite a lot of people on it.
When the passengers get on, I'm afraid many of them will not have seats and will have to stand.
It's crowded here, if it squeezes your brother's wound it will be bad."
Liu Jingxue sighed, "We came here by train from other places, and when we got off at Beijing Station, we went to buy tickets, but the people at the ticket office said there were no sleeper tickets, so we could only buy seat tickets.
The staff told us to buy seat tickets first, and then ask the train attendant after getting on the train to see if there are any vacant berths on the train.
I thought I would ask the conductor later if they could give my brother a sleeper berth ticket."
“I’m afraid there aren’t any vacant berths on the train.
I boarded the train at the previous stop and wanted to ask the conductor for a sleeper ticket, but the conductor said there were none. " said a passenger who looked like an official.
"Girls, where are you getting off?"
"Xi City."
“It takes 14 hours from Beijing to Xishi, and her second brother can’t sit for such a long time in his condition.
Besides, it is impossible for him to not go to the toilet for such a long time. The aisle will be crowded with people and he will be injured and unable to go out. "
"What should we do then?" a passenger asked anxiously.
The passengers in the car were even more anxious than Liu Jingxue, and they started to give Liu Jingxue advice.
After all, the feelings people of that era had towards soldiers were incomparable to those of later generations.
"I still have to ask the conductor. Many people got off at Beijing Station. What if there are vacant berths?
Besides, even if there weren't any, it wouldn't be a big deal to just vacate one of the berths in the sleeper car.
They all have healthy arms and legs, so what if they have to sit for 14 hours? We can't let our wounded soldiers suffer like this.
What if the injury gets worse or there are any sequelae? "
"This man is right. I will go find the flight attendant now and ask them to coordinate it." A young man said as he stood up to find someone.
Someone stopped him, “No, you should wait a while before going over.
Didn’t I see that the passengers who were getting on the bus outside had already come over and were going to check their tickets before getting on the bus?
The flight attendant is too busy to deal with you.
Besides, the train attendants will not know whether there are any vacant sleeper tickets until the passengers at Beijing Station get on the train. "
The young man thought it made sense, "Then I'll go later."
The lady sitting not far away shouted to Liu Jingxue, "Girl, don't worry, no matter if there are any vacant sleeper tickets on the train, we will ask the conductor to arrange for your brother.
You are young and shy, and you are too embarrassed to speak up, but we are all here."
"Yes, sister, don't worry." The young man patted his chest and promised, "I will go to the flight attendants later and ask them to arrange for your brother."
Liu Jingxue quickly thanked them, "Thank you everyone."
Liu Jingxue turned to look at Liu Jianjun, wanting to take credit from him, but saw that his face was flushed and he looked uneasy.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Jianjun leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Little sister, aren't you going a little too far?"
"Was it too much? No, that's what the doctor told me when I was discharged from the hospital.
And your injuries are not more serious than I said."
"But I used those medicines, and the wound feels much better these days."
“You only see the surface, you can’t see what’s inside.
Anyway, the doctor said that we should rest well for more than a month, so we should follow his advice."
Liu Jingxue deliberately said in dissatisfaction, "Just before we got in the car, you promised me that you would follow my arrangements, but it's only been a short while and you're already regretting it.
How can a man not keep his word? "
Liu Jianjun was so blocked that he couldn't say anything to refute, "Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say."
The attendant started checking tickets at the door and passengers began to board the train. The carriage, which was originally half empty, began to fill up.
By seven o'clock, the seats in the carriage were already full and even the aisles were crowded with people.
The train started on time at seven o'clock.
"The car has started. I'll go find the attendant." The young man stood up.
A passenger urged, "Go quickly and explain the situation to them so that they can coordinate as soon as possible."
The young man patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
I will always follow them.”
Liu Jingxue quickly stood up and thanked him, "Thank you, brother."
"Sister, you're welcome. This is what I should do."
The aisle was crowded with people, and the young man's movement caused a lot of complaints.
Beijing is a big station, and there are too many people getting on the train, and not enough time to stay. Many people get on the train across carriages and then walk to their own carriages after getting on.
In addition, those who bought standing tickets wanted to take advantage of the situation and see if they could find a seat to sit down, or find someone who is easy to talk to and squeeze in with them.
Therefore, after the train started, people were coming and going in the aisle, and it was very crowded.
