Chapter 3771: Someone’s Here
Editor: Henyee Translations
Ding Ling’s reminder caused the other comrades to look at Ye Jian with concern. Ye Jian smiled and said, “It’s not a big problem. It’s just a common cold. Everyone, rest.”
“You can sleep. We’ll stand guard.”
“Go to sleep, go to sleep. We still have more than three hours before we reach the station. We’ll leave four people on duty.”
“Everyone, rest. Don’t disturb the other passengers’ sleep.”
They exchanged a few words with each other and left four comrades on duty. The rest of them closed their eyes and rested.

After what happened just now, Ye Jian didn’t feel sleepy anymore. She could only close her eyes and pretend to sleep. Even after taking care of a group of pickpockets, it didn’t mean that the train was safe. For the next three hours, she had to be more vigilant and pay attention to her surroundings.
Most of the passengers who were disturbed didn’t sleep as soundly as before. They closed their eyes for a while before opening them again. They endured until they reached the station.
The lights in the seated carriages remained lit the entire night. Only the lights in the sleeping carriages were turned off. The train continued to rumble forward. When the sky gradually lit up, there were fewer passengers sitting in the aisles. There were even empty seats in the carriage where Ye Jian and the rest were.
The passengers who didn’t have any seats came over. When they saw that there were empty seats, they sat down happily. After standing for the entire night, they finally had a seat. When they saw that there were still empty seats, they let their companions sit down first. Then, they went back and called over their other companions who didn’t have any seats.
“Lower your voice. Don’t let anyone hear you.”
“I know, I know. Guard the seats well. Don’t let other people occupy them.”
“I know. Hurry up and call them over. Damn it, my feet are swollen after standing for an entire night.”
They spoke softly, but they were still happy that they could sit down for the rest of the trip.
Their appearance didn’t make the male students on duty pay much attention to them. Previously, they noticed that the carriages in front were crowded with passengers. There were seats in this section of the carriage, and no one was standing in the aisle. No one got off or boarded the carriage. Thus, there were five or six empty seats.
A 34-year-old man with a crew cut and a thick zippered navy blue jacket carried an old and dirty denim backpack across the three carriages. He seemed to be looking for an empty seat and looked around as he walked. When he reached the carriage where Ye Jian and the rest were, he seemed to be shocked by the more than ten students in military uniforms. He retracted his feet, hesitating for a moment as he stood in front of the carriage. Carrying the denim backpack on one shoulder, he entered the carriage carefully.
He walked past the soldiers lightly and glanced at them as they leaned against the back of their seats. His footsteps seemed to be lighter, and his facial expressions became more restrained.
The denim backpack bumped into the back of a seat. The man was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped and apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Did I bump into you?”
Ding Ling, who felt the impact on her shoulder, had been in a light sleep. She immediately opened her eyes and said to the passenger who was apologizing to her, “It’s okay. You didn’t hit me.”
“It’s good that I didn’t hit you. I… I’ll find an empty seat and sit down,” the man stuttered as he spoke. He apologized again and carried his bag away in his hands.
The four male students on duty all looked at him. They didn’t look away until he found an empty seat and placed the denim bag on it.
Ding Ling moved her shoulder lightly. Although she felt the impact of the bump just now, she didn’t feel any pain. She only felt that the things inside his huge backpack seemed to be very light. If not, her shoulder would more or less hurt.
