When he arrived at the train station, Wang Lin rushed to buy a ticket.

The ticket hall is so big, full of people, crowded and crowded, and they are all people who buy tickets.

There is a long queue in front of each ticket window.

The queue was moving very slowly. Most of the people in line were migrant workers who came to work in other places. Many of them were actually wearing patched clothes and pants, and their luggage was also ragged, and they were packed in snakeskin bags, and some even used "urea" bags to pack their luggage.

Wang Lin had heard of the Spring Festival travel rush for a long time, but he had never participated in it.

The term "Spring Festival travel rush" first appeared in the People's Daily in 1980.

Since the reform and opening up, with the relaxation of restrictions on personnel flow restrictions, more and more people have chosen to leave their hometowns to go out to work and study. Many people have concentrated on returning home during the Spring Festival, forming a Spring Festival travel rush that is known as the "rare population flow in the world".

But now it is not the Spring Festival travel rush!

Why are there too many people?

After queuing for more than half an hour, it was finally Wang Lin's turn.

"Comrade, buy the fastest ticket to Luzhou."

"The earliest train number was at 9:26, just fast."

"How many hours can I reach Luzhou?"

“9 hours.”

"Okay, just buy this train, just buy a hard seat. How much does it cost?"

"Twenty-one-eight!"

This ticket is really expensive!

Once you go back and forth, your salary will be gone in half a month!

No wonder people who come out to work don’t dare to go home normally, just wait to go back to their hometown every year during the Spring Festival!

Wang Lin took the ticket, carefully checked the information on the ticket, and then put it carefully in his pocket.

Tickets are checked on the train, and tickets are checked in and out of the station. If you lose it, you will not admit your account and you will have to make up for the tickets again!

He knew that there were a lot of people who were cheating near the train station, so he didn't wander around and went straight into the waiting room.

Wang Lin brought a military kettle, and he drank half of it in one gulp, went to the bathroom, and saw a water room nearby that provided hot water, so he lined up to fill the kettle.

When I returned to the waiting room and sat down, a middle-aged thin man next to me asked with a smile: "Little brother, go far away?"

"Not far!" Wang Lin's tone was faint and he responded casually.

"Are you going to Luzhou? So am I!" The middle-aged man was combed in three to seven points and even applied mousse. It felt quite fashionable. He stretched out his hand, "When you are out, you have many friends and many roads. My name is Ma Tao."

He was not surprised that the other party could guess that Wang Lin went to Luzhou.

Most of the people sitting here are waiting for this train.

Luzhou is the capital of Anhui Province, located in the Yangtze River Delta region, and is an important city in East my country. It has a large population and many people come out to work.

"Are you a local from Shencheng? You are on a business trip or doing business?" Ma Tao likes to chat.

"On a business trip!" Wang Lin was very careful and said nothing to everyone. He didn't give up all his heart. At the same time, he turned his back and asked, "Where are you? Doing business?"

"Yes, my little brother is really wise. I am a businessman, a pencil businessman." Ma Tao smiled, opened his leather bag, took out two pencils, one red and one blue, and stretched in front of Wang Lin, "Look? The ex-factory price is 2 cents per piece. Every household can use it!"

Wang Lin waved his hand: "There is no need to buy it. The unit will get a deal."

"Okay, good unit!" Ma Tao withdrew his hand, took out a great unity, folded it in half, and said with a smile, "Little brother, I'm idle, I'm idle too, let's play a game of guessing pencils. This game is very simple. I folded the ten yuan in half, then put the red pen in half, wrap the blue pen, roll it up, and then open it. Look, the red pen is still put in it."

He said and demonstrated.

Sitting next to her, there was a young girl who looked only in her teenage years, with two small braids, beautiful eyebrows, round face, big eyes, and wearing a white yeliang single dress and a red khaki jacket. She watched Ma Tao do all this curiously, but didn't say anything.

Seeing that she was interested, Ma Tao also showed her a game of using money to cover two pencils.

"How is it? It's very simple? Our game is just guessing red and blue! I'll do it again, you can see clearly. If you guess correctly what color of pencil is in the money, I'll give you the ten dollars for free!" Ma Tao was very eloquent, talked endlessly, as smooth as the talk show host.

He said, using money to cover the red pen, then wrap the blue pen, and smiled and said, "Little brother, guess?"

Wang Lin was a little alert. He didn't believe that there was love in this world for no reason. He was really idle and had nothing to do? Come and play games with you? He also gave you a great unity for no reason?

But it was the first time he had seen this kind of gameplay, and he didn't know what trick the other party was playing, so he didn't say anything.

Ma Tao asked the little girl: "Come and guess!"

The temptation of ten dollars is quite big!

The little girl pursed her lips and pointed to the red pen and said, "It's red! I'll watch you trap it!"

"Are you sure?" Ma Tao asked.

The little girl nodded vigorously: "It's just a red pen!"

Wang Lin thought to himself, I saw it too, you are trapping the red pen with money!

What's there to guess about this?

I saw Ma Tao smiled slightly and unfolded great unity, and it turned out that the red pen was trapped.

Wang Lin laughed silently and thought to himself that this way of playing is not giving money to others?

Ma Tao was indeed generous and handed the little girl ten yuan.

The little girl happily took the money and looked it over and over again several times to confirm that it was real money.

Ma Tao took out a new ticket worth fifty yuan and said, "Let's play again. If you win, I will give you the fifty yuan. However, if you lose, you have to pay me one hundred yuan! Do you dare to play?"

The little girl just won ten dollars casually. She took it for granted that the gameplay was very simple, and smiled and said, "This is what you said!"

"Of course I said. Do you have a hundred dollars on you?"

"I have it! I have exactly one hundred yuan!" The little girl smiled, "I came out to work after the New Year and earned 45 yuan a month. I worked for three months and earned 135 yuan! If I hadn't had something to do at home, I wouldn't have gone home now!"

Wang Lin thought to himself that this little girl was too simple. When she met a stranger in the waiting room, she told others all the information?

"Okay!" Ma Tao smiled thornyly at the corner of his mouth.

Wang Lin instinctively felt that this was a scam!

However, it was really the first time he met, and he didn't know how he cheated. If he wanted to expose it, he wouldn't be able to do it!

Ma Tao folded the fifty dollars in his hand in half, then put the blue pen in his hand, then rolled the red pen in his hand, and asked the little girl: "Which pen do you guess?"

"Blue pen!" the little girl smiled happily, "I saw it!"

Wang Lin thought to himself, how can there be such a simple thing in the world?

I just gave you ten yuan, and fifty yuan?

He stared at Ma Tao without blinking, seeing what tricks he was doing.

Ma Tao used the money to wrap two pencils and opened them.

Something magic happened!

The fifty yuan was inside, and the blue pen was obviously trapped just now, but after opening it, it turned into a red pen!
Chapter completed!
