At this moment, Xiao Liu had completely forgotten that she actually hoped the leaders would leave some for her to taste.
After all, when she went to find people to eat with next door just now, those people all said that the food brought by this little girl named Su Xiaotian was incredibly delicious, and they even looked down on the food from the train she had taken.
Su Xiaotian had no intention of paying attention to Xiao Liu anymore. After she and Xiao Ju cleaned the lunchboxes, they put them back into their bags.
This set of lunchboxes was actually custom-made by Su Xiaotian from the system mall.
There were four in a set, each slightly larger than the one before it. Now that the lunchboxes were empty, they could be stacked together perfectly. Eight lunchboxes became two. They were easily put back into the bag and did not take up much space.
If it weren't for the crowd, Su Xiaotian would have put these lunchboxes back into the system space long ago, fearing it would arouse suspicion from others.
Xiao Ju was amazed as she watched Su Xiaotian stack the lunchboxes one by one.
It could be done like this?
"Xiaotian, where did you buy these lunchboxes?"
She wanted them too.
Due to the nature of her work, she traveled frequently. Every time she brought some food, the empty lunchboxes took up space after she finished eating.
Su Xiaotian replied, "I bought these a couple of years ago when I went to Rongcheng. I liked them at the time, so I bought them. Unfortunately, I didn't buy enough, only these two sets."
Su Xiaotian sighed with regret as she spoke.
"I should have bought a few more sets back then. At least everyone in our family would have a set, and it would be much easier to travel."
Xiao Ju thought about how she had also been to Rongcheng, but why hadn't she encountered them?
Could it be that she hadn't found the right place?
"Xiaotian, where did you buy them? I'll look for them next time I go."
Su Xiaotian shook her head and said, "I saw someone setting up a stall at the night market and bought them. Later, I wanted to buy more sets, but I couldn't find them again."
Since Su Xiaotian herself couldn't find them, Xiao Ju could only give up her hope.
After all, if even Su Xiaotian herself couldn't find them, she definitely wouldn't be able to find them even if she went looking for the address.
Never mind, such things are a matter of chance.
Xiao Liu climbed angrily to the upper bunk, but the conversation between the two people below still reached her ears clearly.
She angrily covered her ears, no longer paying attention to the two people below who were chattering on about meaningless things.
After Xiao Ju helped Su Xiaotian tidy up, she returned to her own bunk.
Su Xiaotian thought for a moment and then went out to look for Fan Shufang and Yang Liming.
She hadn't seen these two when she went to wash the lunchboxes earlier and didn't know where they had gone.
The train was a mixed bag of people, so it was better to check on them.
As Su Xiaotian passed through one carriage, she heard a lively scene ahead, with many people talking.
The carriage she was currently passing through was a hard sleeper carriage. There were more people in it than in the soft sleeper carriage, but far fewer than in the hard seat carriage.
Those who could afford to travel in hard sleeper carriages were generally people with some money. Their conditions were much better than those in the hard seat carriages.
However, in such carriages, people rarely spoke loudly under normal circumstances. Why was there such a loud commotion in this carriage today?
Worried that the two grandmothers might have gone to join the fun, she walked over curiously.
In a small compartment of the hard sleeper carriage, seven or eight people were gathered around, playing cards.
Su Xiaotian glanced around and, not seeing Fan Shufang and the others, decided to leave.
Playing cards on a train was not unusual.
After all, with the long journey, one had to find something to do, right?
But the moment she turned to leave, she suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
The way these people were playing was not the usual way.
It looked like they were trying to cheat people!
Su Xiaotian couldn't help but stop and look a couple more times.
In a hard sleeper compartment, a man wearing a gray suit that was two sizes too big was surrounded by others.
Su Xiaotian saw that this man was holding three playing cards, two black cards and one red card, and was shouting for people to place their bets.
"With these three cards, as long as you can bet on the red card, I will pay you back as much as you bet, no matter how much you bet."
The man shouted loudly. Someone nearby seemed unable to resist and cautiously took out a five-yuan bill from their clothes.
"Let me try, what if I win?"
The person spoke with a hint of hesitation.
Someone next to him advised, "You should be careful. Just bet one yuan. Five yuan can do a lot of things."
"Exactly, brother. I don't think you're someone who has this kind of luck. What if you lose?"
The person was hesitating, but after being persuaded by these two, he became even more determined. "I can afford five yuan. What if I win?"
"Exactly, if you're going to do it, go big. What's the fun in betting just one yuan?"
Seeing that the person was getting interested, someone else, who enjoyed watching the excitement, egged him on.
As expected, under the dissuasion and support of several people talking at once, this person decisively placed the five yuan bet.
Su Xiaotian watched with interest. These people were definitely a scamming group, but she wondered if there were any unsuspecting victims being targeted.
Su Xiaotian had some understanding of the passenger composition on the train.
Some of those who could afford hard sleeper carriages were people in positions of authority. This group had official duties and a little extra money.
But there was also a portion of wealthy people who had made some money through business in the past two years and didn't want to work too hard, so they obtained hard sleeper tickets through some channels to improve their travel conditions.
Su Xiaotian thought that these scammers would likely target the latter group.
After all, although people in official positions had a little extra money, it wasn't very profitable to scam them.
A small amount of money wasn't worth the effort.
She continued to watch, and as expected, the cards were revealed. It was a one-to-one payout. This person bet five yuan, and the man running the game paid him five yuan and gave him another five yuan.
"Brother, you're really lucky to have won the first round. Do you want to try again?" the man in the gray suit continued to entice the man who had just bet.
The man hesitated at this point.
"Brother, while your luck is good, you should play a couple more rounds."
"Exactly, brother. We can't waste such good luck."
"Brother, I'm really envious of your good luck! If I were you, I'd bet even more."
But clearly, this man was slow to make decisions.
After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "I'll bet another five yuan. Anyway, this five yuan was won, so I won't feel bad if I lose it!" Su Dan Xiaoshuo.
When he said this, some people around him scoffed, clearly dissatisfied with his timid personality.
"Anyway, I'm only betting these five yuan. Tell me, are you going to open the cards or not!"
The man in the gray suit also glanced contemptuously at the betting man and said, "With your personality, you'll never get rich! If you have good eyesight, this is a ready-made way to make money."
