"Woo —!"
The train's whistle suddenly sounded, piercing through the silent night sky.
The heavy clanking sound of the old steam engine echoed on the railway, full of rhythm and a special charm.
For the older generation of Jiang Jin people, this sound had accompanied them for almost half of their childhood. When Jiang Jin was first established, the railway was distributed in almost all areas of the city.
However, as Jiangjin City developed day by day, the railway became the biggest obstacle to the expansion of the city. Because of an unexpected incident, coupled with the introduction of the more cost-effective and noisy bullet train, the old trains and railways began to gradually be eliminated.
Until now, there was only one old train left in Jiang Jin, and even this one was something like "nostalgia". The carriage was no longer rusty, and even the interior was no longer dirty. It looked more like a sightseeing train.
"What a pity, I heard that the higher-ups have decided to abandon the Jiangyue Line." After shoveling the last shovel of coal into the furnace and closing the furnace door, the older coal shoveler wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck and said with a sigh, "This job is about to come to an end."
"It can't be, right?" The younger coal shoveler sat down on a dark chair, picked up his kettle, and drank a mouthful of tea. He said with some disbelief, "Isn't Jiang Jin's performance good? Many tourists who come to Jiang Jin for the first time like it very much. Also, the older generation also has a special feeling for this steam engine engine. They won't let the higher-ups do as they please, right?"
"Hey, you don't know, but a foreign company has taken a fancy to the land of Jiang Jin Station. They want to invest in building a building in Jiang Jin. It's said that they want to build a world-class building. They want money and political achievements, so how can the higher-ups not be moved? Even if there's a mountain in front of them, they'll still think of ways to move it! "
The older coal shoveler probably had some connections with the higher-ups, as he talked about some secrets. "Think about it, Jiang Jin has developed for so many years, and the city center has long been crowded. The owner of any piece of land is not to be trifled with. Those foreigners want to get a foot in there, so naturally, they can only target the station with the least background."
"If that's the case, the future of the Jiangyue Line is really not optimistic …" The younger coal shoveler was also moved, and his expression was worried.
"Hehe, that's why we don't use it every time. Cherish it well." The older coal shoveler smiled. "Okay, it's about time to sound the horn!"
The Jiangyue's horn sounded again as the two talked and laughed.
However, none of them noticed, or rather, they couldn't notice the colorful aurora that hung in the sky like a curtain that was gradually opening …
— — Line —
"I want a girlfriend!"
In the lecture hall, Monkey kept spinning in front of Xu Shenxing's desk, trying to attract his attention. "I want to show off my love with my girlfriend in school. I want to enjoy my girlfriend's lap pillow. I want to eat my girlfriend's bento!"
"Even if you say that to me …" Xu Shenxing looked at him weakly.
Although he saw the unsettling beautiful aurora yesterday, he and Qin Xingyan waited until dawn, and the aurora disappeared, but they didn't find anything strange.
In the end, they could only conclude that it was one of the supernatural phenomena caused by the increase in the amount of spiritual energy.
Thanks to this, Xu Shenxing was now a little sleep-deprived.
As for Qin Xingyan … he hoped that she wouldn't fall off the flying sword because of fatigue when she was flying to the Bailu Temple …
"Other than you, I can't think of anyone else I can ask for help from!"
Monkey's face was full of tears and snot: "You only used a half-way party to successfully capture Qin Xingyan. Recently, even goddess Song has been hanging around you. What's even more unforgivable is that you have such a cute sister like Mo Li! At least, at least give Mo Li to me! "
"Go die." Xu Shenxing said without hesitation.
"Brother-in-law, please agree, this is my lifetime request!"
Monkey used the Earth Seat without any dignity.
"Go die miserably!" Xu Shenxing said again without hesitation.
"How much of a sister complex do you have!"
Monkey pounced towards Xu Shenxing, but Xu Shenxing easily avoided the other party's attack by getting up. This caused the other party to collide with the four-eyed class leader behind Xu Shenxing.
Thanks to this, the expensive iPhone in the class leader's hand also fell to the ground and spun towards Xu Shenxing's feet.
Xu Shenxing sighed, picked up the phone and was about to hand it back to the innocent class leader when his gaze fell on the picture on the phone screen.
The four-eyed class leader seemed to be using the phone to check the news. The title of the news was "Jiang Jin citizens jointly protest the abandonment of the Jiangyue Line". The picture below was a very standard picture of a protest group holding a small wooden sign and holding a long banner.
But this wasn't the problem. The problem was that in the picture, there was Monkey's face.
On the picture, he used oil paint to write "Worship foreign things" and "Get out of Jiang Jin" on both sides of his face. He was holding a sign that said "Oppose the abandonment of the Jiangyue Line" and looked like he was filled with righteous indignation.
To be honest, he was a completely different person from his usual wretched self.
"Oh, this." The class leader stuck his head out and looked at the picture on the phone with a disapproving look: "My dad used to be a driver of this kind of train. I grew up on this kind of train. Now that the Jiangyue Line is going to be demolished, I naturally have to stand out and protest."
"Unfortunately, the protest has no effect."
The class leader pushed up his glasses. It was unknown if it was because he felt embarrassed from being knocked down or if he was just refuting: "From the Jiang Jin Daily, the city government doesn't have any plans to withdraw the order. They even put the development plan on the agenda."
"Then we'll protest when the time comes." Monkey shrugged indifferently.
"That's why the higher-ups won't change the plan just because of a few citizens' protests." The class leader's voice gradually became louder: "Do you think it's easy to make a plan?"
And Monkey was surprisingly not overwhelmed by the class leader's imposing manner and argued: "But if we don't even try, how do we know it won't have any effect?"
"It's because of your stubborn personality that your project won't make any progress. If this continues, the school will probably take back the budget and the right to use the laboratory. "
"But this has nothing to do with you, class leader."
Xu Shenxing, who was getting a headache from the argument, dug his ears and then squeezed out of the crowd of onlookers that had gathered.
He didn't have classes in the afternoon. Although it was a tempting choice to stay at home, Sakura apartment's miserable financial situation forced him to start looking for a new part-time job.
"I hope I can do it longer this time …"
