I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

This is a long night.

In the night without moon and stars, the boundless darkness flooded the earth, and the inclined train was like a long worm that would glow, attracting the attention of nocturnal animals.

In the distance, there were occasional rustling noises. It should be that large animals were attracted by the lights. The passengers are not worried, their attention is on the mosquitoes flying in the carriage.

Owen generously shared the mosquito repellent spray he carried with everyone, while Moussa took out a black dead leaf, and when it was lit, a faint smoke came out to disperse the mosquitoes.

Passengers in other carriages are not so well treated. Their only weapon against mosquitoes is their palms, and the sound of applauding for the mosquitoes one after another in the carriage.

The conductor showed up with several flight attendants to appease the frightened passengers.

"Our luck is not bad. There are no serious injuries. The electricity and lighting systems in the train are all normal, so please rest assured that there will be no more danger."

If the train that has derailed and leaned on the mound is still in danger, it may be an earthquake.

"Where are we now?" Irving asked, raising his hand.

The conductor saw that it was a foreign passenger and walked up to him and gave accurate information: "We have passed Ideta, and we are more than 300 kilometers away from the destination Dar es Salaam."

Owen made a surprised expression and asked, "Is this location terrible? I remember this section of the road is in Udzongwa National Park. There are no villages and towns before and after, and there is no communication signal. Can you communicate with the headquarters? ?"

The conductor understood that he encountered a passenger who was not easy to fool, and said: "We have already sent out the signal, and the dispatch center and the emergency repair center will receive it. Don't worry."

"I'm not worried." Irving smiled. "You should be worried. If the rescue team cannot arrive in time and there is not enough water and food, everyone will start to be hungry tomorrow morning."

The conductor said: "There will be food, and there will be water... Do you have enough food?"

His eyes swept across several foreigners, and finally fell on Moussa.

Moussa was about to speak when someone patted him on the shoulder.

It was Chen Ling, beckoning him not to speak.

Chen Ling was afraid that he would attract everyone's attention when he said the identity of the White Wizard. At this moment, on the derailed train, the pressure of the White Wizard's identity was too great, and Chen Ling couldn't bear it.

Chen Ling stepped forward and said, "We also don't have enough food and water. If the rescue team can bring food and water before noon tomorrow, there won't be a big problem. Are you sure the headquarters has received the information?"

The conductor looked at Chen Ling, who was yellow-skinned and black-haired, and asked, "Chinese?"

Chen Ling nodded: "Yes, this railway was built by Chinese people."

The conductor said: "You should renovate the road... Honestly, we are not sure if the headquarters has received the information. The communication system is not very useful. So far we have not received a reply."

This is very bad news.

Chen Ling thought that this railway was really sick, and riding a train was a big adventure.

Owen said: "Maybe you should send someone to contact, as long as you can go to the nearest station, you can call for help."

The conductor said: "Yes, we did plan that. But we have to wait until dawn."

Wang Mingyue kept listening, already frowning, she couldn't help asking: "Why?"

"There is danger at night, and we don't have flashlights or lights." The conductor seemed dissatisfied with Wang Mingyue's questioning attitude.

Chen Ling asked, "How long does it take to walk during the day?"

The conductor shrugged and said: "I haven't walked, maybe four or five hours. Be careful during the day, the beasts around here are not too friendly."

Tanzania's animal protection has always been very good and has a good reputation in the world. It has attracted many international tourists who watch animals. Tourism has also become an important industry in Tanzania.

Owen, who was very calm along the way, continued to stay calm and began to check the food and drinking water he brought with him.

Wang Mingyue is not calm enough, and her face is angry: "How come there is such a thing? Does your railway department do not care? You must send someone to report on the derailment of the train immediately..."

Dr. Hu did not dissuade Wang Mingyue who was mad, although she knew that this would not have any effect.

The conductor was unmoved and said: "The matter is beyond the scope of what we can handle. We don't have the right to let anyone risk their lives. Waiting for rescue in place is the best choice."

I'm leaving after speaking.

Chen Shang said: "If the headquarters still does not reply after dawn, please let us know."

The train conductor hesitated and said, "You can't walk at dawn. Do you know the big five in Africa? There are many lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and bisons in this area. Don't worry, the train never stops, the headquarters will If someone is dispatched to look for it, just wait patiently."

"Along the railway?" Chen Ling asked. There are trains going back and forth on the railway every day, and it is reasonable that the wild beasts dare not get too close to the railway.

The conductor shook his head: "Unrelated persons are prohibited by law from walking on the railway."

Chen Ling thought that the trains were all derailed, and he didn't know if there was rescue. Wouldn't people leave? It doesn't make sense.

"Train conductor, Moussa will come to you after dawn, please tell the news." He said.

Irving also said: "We are passengers and we have the right to know this."

The conductor noticed that everyone was staring at him, so he said, "Of course, you have the right to know this. No matter what the news tomorrow, I will tell this young man. However, please don't tell other passengers to avoid confusion. "

The train conductor’s concerns are not unreasonable. The composition of passengers is complicated. If there is no definite rescue news for a long time, as long as someone picks the head, it is likely to cause riots.

Chen Ling said: "If there is no news at dawn, we voluntarily act as a messenger and walk to the next station to deliver the letter."

He believes that if there is no news of rescue at dawn, riots are inevitable, and the best way as a foreigner is to avoid it.

As a Chinese, we must pay more attention to safety. Who knows if there are people with bad brains among the passengers who will blame the Chinese for derailment?

The conductor said: "I can only say thank you! I hope we will receive a reply from the headquarters soon."

He took people away.

Dr. Hu worries: "Mr. Chen, how many hours have to be walked, do we really have to go?"

Wang Mingyue expressed opposition: "This is something the railway department has to deal with. Why do we need to report it?"

The two ladies speak Chinese, but Owen on the side can see what they mean, saying: "I have enough food and water, but if there is no news at dawn, we must go because we are likely to be caught by angry passengers. Be an object of anger. People are more dangerous than beasts!"

"Also, walking along the railway, the probability of encountering beasts is very low." Moussa also said, "Animals don't like railways."

It seems that Owen's words have worked, but Wang Mingyue shut up and said nothing.

Dr. Hu still looked at Chen Ling worriedly: "The distance is too far, I'm afraid I can't walk."

Chen Ling smiled and said, "I am here, so what are you worried about?"

Dr. Hu smiled embarrassedly and said, "I will try my best to walk by myself, I hope it won't drag you down."

In her heart, however, it was worthwhile to let Chen Ling carry herself tomorrow, so that she would not appear to be too useless or make Chen Ling too tired.

Owen said: "Everyone, rest, there is a high probability that there will be no news tomorrow."

This time, no one said he had a crow's mouth.

As soon as it was dark, Moussa went to the conductor to ask for the news.

He returned soon and shook his head: "No news has been received."

He looked at Chen Ling and waited for his order.

Chen Ling asked Owen: "Are you going with us?"

"Of course!" Irving laughed, "I'm ready."

Chen Ling said to the two women again: "Ladies, are you ready?"

Wang Mingyue said: "The elephant is okay, I hope I won't encounter lions and leopards."

Dr. Hu didn't speak, but nodded, she already carried the bag on her shoulder.

"Musa, take care of Ms. Wang. Let's go!" Chen Ling said.
