Dongcheng is almost at the northernmost part of China. It is far away from the capital, and the green train is slow. There is no place to rest at night and you can only sleep on the table.
Chuxia asked the teacher who went with her: "Adults can hold on for a long time on the train, but these children are so young and can't even sleep well on the train at night. Can they hold on?"
The team was led by a male and a female teacher, who were both Olympiad teachers and members of the Beijing Mathematical Society. The male teacher's surname was Jin and the female teacher's surname was Xing.
Teacher Jin smiled bitterly and said, "We also want to send our children to go by sleeper or plane, but the mathematics club does not have much funding right now."
Section 180
Chu Xia sighed in her heart. She could have just taken An An and Zhang Lu to pay for sleeper berths, but the students and teachers who were going with them were all sitting in hard seats, so this was inappropriate.
Then just bear with it.
Chuxia was just thankful that the seats for students and teachers were together, and there were no unbearable passengers who would take off their shoes at will. Apart from being a bit crowded, it wasn't too uncomfortable.
Cen Huaian adapted to the environment faster than Chu Xia. He had quietly taken out a book and started reading. It was a novel about supernatural phenomena, which he bought at a used bookstall during the Lantern Festival and he had only just started reading it.
Some other students had never been on a train before and they were looking around excitedly in their seats and talking happily to their classmates.
Zhang Lu and Chu Xia sat together. Two people from their school came. It was not the first place winner Liu Hongyu, but a somewhat taciturn boy who sat opposite Chu Xia and the others.
So Zhang Lu was very bored. An An was reading a book next to her, the classmates opposite her were not talking, and her aunt, who could talk to her, was separated from her by An An.
Zhang Lu was sitting at the seat closest to the window, looking out the window for a while, then looking at the classmates opposite with his chin in his hand, and then turned around to look at An An.
Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer and tilted her head to look at the book Cen Huaian was reading: "Record of Strange Things?"
Zhang Lu read the title of the book word by word and thought it was a strange name: "An An, what book are you reading? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Cen Huaian had just read half of a story when he put the book between them and said, "A story about a fox."
Zhang Lu became interested and went over to read with An An.
Chuxia became interested when she heard their conversation and leaned over to look at the book on the table.
It is indeed a story about a fox, and also about the love-hate relationship between a fox that turns into a fairy and a scholar.
Chuxia originally thought that this was the kind of love story between a human and a demon that was most common in TV dramas in the past.
Later on, we saw that the fox spirit was betrayed by the scholar, and finally, before she could escape to the mountains where her tribe lived, she was killed by the Taoist priest.
"Is this the end of the story?"
Cen Huaian turned the page and said, "Mom, not yet."
"Huh? The heroine is dead and turned into a pile of bones, why hasn't it ended yet?"
Chuxia was even more interested, and Zhang Lu also watched with great interest.
Jin Chanzi passed by the place where the fox spirit's bones were, and collected her bones in a cave not far away.
The sun and the moon alternated, the stars moved, and who knows how many years had passed. The fox spirit Bai Gu actually transformed into a demon spirit again.
She wanted to repay Jin Chanzi's kindness, and after hearing that his reincarnation would soon pass by here, she waited patiently.
