——Woohoooo!
When dusk fell from the horizon, another steam train drove into the staging area from afar, attracting the attention of passengers in the waiting area.
At the same time, an announcement came from the brass horn above the station--
"The Alphat 375 steam train is entering the station, please prepare for passengers getting on the train..."
Sulman heard the radio and collected the newspaper slowly. He straightened his collar, and then holding a silver cane, he walked towards the entrance of the ticket gate.
At the train station in Gangdian City, the waiting hall is separated from the platform by a large transparent glass. Passengers sitting in the waiting hall can see the scene on the platform. When Sulman walked towards the ticket gate, there was a passenger who was also dressed as a traveler. They lined up in front of the ticket gate in an orderly manner. Their expressions may be anxious, but they are still in good order.
"After all, he is a person who can afford a ticket, and he has maintained a relatively demeanor...Well, provided that there is no disaster." Sulman thought silently, and soon it was his turn to check the ticket entrance. .
Sulman showed the 30-gold "Prime Seat" ticket to the station guard, and then the other side opened the aisle, not forgetting that when Sulman passed by, he reminded him very intimately: "Sir, Please take good care of your belongings. If there is an emergency...you can contact the stationed personnel from the Steam Church in the car, and they will help you solve minor problems."
"Thank you."
Sulman knew that it was the price of the ticket that played a role, and politely responded with a smile.
After all, from a profit point of view, he is equivalent to a high-quality customer of the Steam Church. He is protected by the steam train. Of course, the station guard will remind him. Thief pickpocket.
People who can afford ‘Prime Seat’ tickets must be the fat sheep in their eyes and need to be cautious.
But in fact it is contrary to their perception.
In terms of Sulman's strength, it is not him who needs to be careful, but the hapless thief who selected him as the target........
Under the watch of the station guard, Sulman came to the dark steam train and boarded the train according to the car number on the ticket. When he stepped into the car, he saw the row on the car. The room, this is the real face of the'Prime Seat'.
On passenger trains in the cold northern region, there is no term soft sleeper and hard sleeper. They divide the ticket seats into four classes:
Prime seats are similar to the soft and hard sleeper tickets of the previous life. They have separate boxes. The number of passengers in a box is about 3-5 people, regardless of male and female, living in a single box. Of course, if you have a lot of spare money, you can also buy tickets for the entire box, making yourself the equivalent of sitting in a ‘single room’.
The ones with a bit more seats are [First-class seats]. They do not have separate boxes, but they are located in the front row of the steam train (the front row is a special class seat). They have long seats, that is Similar to the long wooden seat on a green leather train.
The difference between the two is that the seats on the green train are four people in a row, that is, two rows of seats for four people.
First-class seats on steam trains, single-row seats can only accommodate one person, that is, two people sit opposite each other in a row. If a passenger feels tired, he can lie down on a long wooden seat and sleep asleep. Apart from being easily disturbed, the difference between itself and a soft and hard sleeper is not very big.
As for the second-class and third-class seats, their treatment is not so good. Not only the seats are crowded, and there are several people in a single row, there is no room for passengers to lie down and rest, and the environment is dirty and messy. , They are located in the middle and rear carriages of the steam train.
Second-class seats are a little better. People take care of hygiene every three days, and the environment is still tolerable. As for the cheapest third-class seats, they are cleaned only once a week, and the smell can kill you. fly. Generally speaking, working-class people who cannot afford normal tickets and seek safety asylum use their half-month salary to buy tickets to travel to other civilized areas.
In the wild in the cold north, long-distance travel is also a luxury for ordinary people.
"My seat is Box 36, lower bunk D4..."
In order not to block the passengers behind him, Sulman did not delay, and followed the serial number on the room all the way to find his'seat'. The next moment, Sulman opened the door and found that there was already in the box. Two passengers were taken.
Above the sleeping berth on the right, there is a woman sitting on her back in a small sun hat. She has white ceramic skin, small features, and not particularly beautiful, but she has a somewhat bookish look, which seems to be doing academic research. work.
She holds a hardcover book in her hand. It is not made of animal skins, but is obviously printed. In this era when the industrial level is biased towards kerosene power and electricity has not yet been invented, the value of such hardcover books is much higher than that of animals. A rough manuscript of the cover made of leather.
On the lower bunk on the other side, on the left, sits a young man dressed as a herder. He has wheat-colored skin, and his facial features are relatively cold, but his expression is not indifferent. Instead, he has a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Go up and approachable.
It is worth noting that the clothes he wears are not gentlemen's dresses, but herdsmen dresses full of "Boya style". It is characterized by bright hand-made decorations, coupled with rough and heavy fabrics, like piles of loose pieces. It's messy and full of color.
Boya-style herders? This is rare. After all, it’s the clothing style in the Twilight Domain....Sulman felt surprised, but he didn’t pay much attention to it, because the Boa herdsmen are similar to the Gypsies on the earth, and they have no fixation. The resident is a home from all over the world, and I am used to wandering everywhere, not only in the cold north, even if I see a Boa herdsman in the Panjieshu domain, it is not unusual.
Wow!
The two heard the movement and looked at the entrance of the box at the same time. When they saw Sulman posing as a middle-aged gentleman, the lady with a cap, who was suspected of being a ‘scholar’, they looked at them with caution.
Later, when she saw Sulman's gaze, she smiled politely and looked down again.
However, with sharp-eyed Sulman, she could see her left hand drooping beside her, intending to use the cover of her body to sneak up a drawstring on which is the brass sound tube on the wall of the box.
As long as the rope is pulled, a bell will be transmitted to the guards on the steam train, and even the garrison of the steam church. This is their safety guarantee for female passengers. Of course, it is limited to ‘special seat’ tickets.
In fact, people who can afford premium tickets will not behave in the car. After all, they have to get off the car. They even have to consider the consequences of being wanted by the Steam Church. ....... As the steam church that controls the entire northern traffic, they issue a wanted order, which is really difficult to move~IndoMTL.com~ Therefore, the personal safety of single women on the steam train can still be guaranteed. .
It seems that she is quite careful.........Sulman didn’t care, smiled politely at the other party, and put his cane on the rack beside him, and turned to his sleeper. The location is the lower bunk on the right, opposite the herder man, and directly below the female scholar.
——Woo!
At this moment, there was a sound of aerosol from outside, and along with the sound of the siren, the steam train began to move slowly.
"The long and boring journey has begun..."
Sulman was about to lie down, when suddenly, their box was knocked, and it was ok!
The knock on the door was slightly hurried, indicating the owner's rush.
