Chapter 795: A Brief Encounter (2)
I don't know how many times the scene in front of me has appeared, some passengers go down, some passengers come up, only the train is eternal. Others were woken up by the movement, blinked their eyes, glanced at the platform where the figures were swaying outside the window, and then closed their eyes again, as if they wanted to reconnect their previous dreams, and fell into an endless slumber again.
Envious of the people around him, looking at their sleeping faces, Kasia also wanted to learn to close her eyes, expecting to fall asleep.
But he couldn't do it, it was obviously just a very simple thing, but it was full of difficulties for him. I didn't understand why my spirit was so good, I was full of energy, and I didn't feel a little tired after a long journey.
With a sigh, Kasia leaned into the soft seat and withdrew her gaze from the window. The scene that you are used to seeing is not necessary to repeat it at every platform.
"Where am I going?" Karsya's sigh, feeling very lost now. I don't have any impression of where I got on this train from and where it is going.
I remember that he seemed to be asleep all the time, and when he was woken up by the sound of the train arriving at the station, and the bright lights shone into his eyes, he was already on this train. I don't have any memory of what happened before.
Maybe you will have the information you want on your ticket. But without carrying her luggage, Kasia searched all over her body and did not find her ticket. I plucked up the courage to ask the conductor a few times, but the answer I got was the terminal of the train.
"What is that?" asked Kasia, the conductor politely nodding his head and saying the name of the place, but at that moment the loudspeaker on the train would always sound, either as a routine announcement or as some music played. I couldn't hear the exact pronunciation of the place name. Try to ask the flight attendant to write the name of the terminal station on a piece of paper, the words that Cassia doesn't recognize, strange but very ancient.
"Is this still an empire?
"Of course it is, within the Empire. The attendant looked at Kasia with some curiosity, "It's the first time to take a long-distance train, don't worry, when you arrive at the terminal station, there will be corresponding reminders, passengers, you just need to pay attention to the announcement in the loudspeaker." I think you must be tired, passengers, there is still a journey to the terminal, it is better to rest more, if you need food, you can go to the middle of the train to buy. β
There is no point in answering. Thinking back to what happened more than ten days ago, Kasia still feels like her mind is a mess.
I forgot a lot of things, and I didn't have a clue no matter how much I thought about it. Looking at the top of the train, Kasia was in a daze, not knowing what to do with her time. He felt that he must have carried his luggage, and that there must be a lot of books in it. His intuition told him that he was a very fond reader.
But it seems that the only thing that came up to this train was his body and a suit of clothes.
After a short pause, the horn once again announced that the train was about to start. When the train begins to move slowly, the platform flows behind the window, followed by a silhouette of a city lit up, and finally the dim wilderness becomes a forbidden painting outside, which will follow the train to the next station.
Kasia got up and went to the middle of the train, where he asked for a piece of food, and as if instinctively he had it, he chose a secluded and quiet seat and sat down.
He found that he could only concentrate well when he was eating, and at other moments, there would always be a lot of vague things in his head, which would confuse his thinking.
"Hello, brother, can I sit here?"
As soon as she took a sip of juice, the band's soft-strumming sound made Kasia look up.
She was a small girl, with a smile on her lovely face, her hair spread out, and a silky pale blonde. Wearing a long dress from the early summer season, some of the shoes are out of tune, and some of them look like the style worn by men.
Kasia nodded, saying "yes" as she leaned her plate towards her side, even though the table wasn't needed.
If you continue to eat your own food, you don't feel hungry at all, just as you don't feel tired mentally. The food lost its taste in his mouth, and Kasia came here every day simply thinking that it was time for him to eat something.
"Brother, is there only such black in your world?"
Kasia looked up and looked around instinctively, the location he had chosen was indeed very remote and quiet, and no one sat around them.
As if asking yourself. I don't know if the food doesn't fit, but after the girl in front of me brought the plate and put it down, she didn't move. The girl propped her head in her hands, slightly tilted, half of her long hair falling naturally, and her radiant eyes were surprisingly looking at the scene outside the window, which had hardly changed in any way.
A dim color, and everything becomes a monotonous black silhouette. Because of the light, the shadows of the two people who were close to each other on the glass window were much clearer and brighter at this moment.
The girl was waiting for her answer, and Kasia was sure. I didn't understand the meaning of the girl's words, and the girl in front of her had a sense of familiarity, but Kasia couldn't remember seeing it somewhere.
"It's night, isn't it?" was a sure thing, but Kasia didn't know why the words turned into uncertain questions when they came to their lips.
The girl didn't continue on this question, still looking outside, but Kasia vaguely felt that the girl's eyes were not really out of the window. It was a careful look at the glass window, and the shadows of the two people were probably much larger.
"Brother, why don't you get off the train? β
Still for some reason, Kasia looked at the girl's side face, and the light shifted at this time, and when she tried to see the girl's face clearly, she found it so difficult.
"I was supposed to get off at the terminal. The words still turned uncertain, and Kasia couldn't understand why she was talking to a girl she didn't know. Probably out of politeness, he found a reason for himself, "The flight attendant told me that I have to wait a little longer." β
"It's been a long journey. Although I really want to go there, sit here like I am now, and it will not be over until the end. The smile on the girl's face became more gentle, as if remembering something that pleased her, "But brother, are you really going there?"
Kasia fell silent for a moment, shook his head, and looked at the window glass like a girl. His own shadow could be clearly distinguished, but the face of the girl on the side was extremely blurry. It's like countless ghosts superimposed, unrealistic, unspecific, everything becomes a rough outline.
Blinking his eyes vigorously, Kasia then rubbed them again, which he thought was the eye organ that was a little tired from the long excitatory state of mind. He closed his eyes and rubbed them, thinking about how to answer the girl's words.
When she opened her eyes, the girl had already stood up with the plate, and her voice had a great undulation, with two completely opposite emotions in it: "I look forward to meeting you here next time, brother." β
After the girl finished speaking, she gave Kasia a deep look before turning to leave.
Watching the girl's back disappear into the carriage, Kasia recalled what she had just said, and still felt that this conversation that had begun at some point was too strange.
Suddenly not wanting to stay here any longer, Kasia finished her food in a few bites and returned to her seat. There was no change in his spirit, and he still seemed excited and sufficient. The girl's words kept coming to mind during this long night, like some kind of hint.
I always feel that the girl knows herself, and I have indeed seen the girl somewhere, but I can't remember a little memory in my head anyway. The head is filled with these questions that never have an answer, and it becomes dull.
As the girl said, the night was long. When the window was lit up the next day, Kasia felt a rare sense of relief. At this time, I remembered the girl's words, and my brain kept echoing alternately.
"Are you really going to the terminal?" the suspicion widened for a moment, and finally he was a little unconvinced. Kasia took out the paper that the flight attendant had written for him, and according to the flight attendant, it was the name of the stop he was going to. These bizarre words are more like symbols, and perhaps they don't have any specific meaning. Kasia tried to convince herself.
"The train is about to arrive at Noju Stationγγγγ"
With the familiar sound of the announcement, Kasia looked up at the awakened passengers around her, and her body also moved.
"Since I don't know where to get on the train, I shouldn't have a problem where to get off. He muttered to himself, eventually standing up and following the passengers.
At the same time, in the middle of the train, there were already a number of passengers who had been woken up by the announcement and came to eat breakfast.
In the middle of nowhere, a girl sits with a mouthful of uneaten food in front of her, and an empty seat in front of her. With her head on her back and a smile on her face, she was looking out at the crowded platform.
