6th Street, Kedarang District, Dongting City Railway Station.

In the clear sky, the clouds seemed to have been carefully washed, as white as the snow on the top of the spire of the train station not far away.

Fragments of warm white sunlight fell on the ground and on the snow on the surrounding roofs, making them bright and eye-catching.

In front of the train station, which is composed of pointed vaults, flying buttresses, reliefs and stained glass, is a wide square paved with stone slabs.

People were coming and going in the square.

A four-wheeled carriage stopped at the edge of the square.

Abel Vera, who was wearing a light brown woolen coat, was holding her daughter, and there was a black leather suitcase at her left foot.

"drive!"

The coachman flicked the reins and the carriage slowly left.

Jiangxi Lin held a suitcase in each hand and walked to Abel's mother and daughter.

"Let's go."

…

The railway construction in this world is roughly composed of three parts. The largest part is funded by the Machinery and Craftsmen Association, followed by the royal government, and finally a small part is built by the royal nobles.

According to the Kingdom’s Commercial Act, builders also have the right to make profits from operations.

Therefore, in the Kingdom of Tosain, railway transportation is also divided into three major parts.

These three major parts are: the Machinery Operations established by the wealthy Machinery and Craftsmen Association, the Kingdom Operations established by the Royal Government, and the Joint Operations established by the nobles.

Among them, the average mileage price of the machine-operated operation and the kingdom operation are roughly the same, about 0.3 to 0.5 copper buckles per kilometer, while the average mileage price of the joint operation is relatively high, almost always around 0.8 to 1 copper buckle.

, but although the price is high, the ride environment and service quality are really not that good.

The straight-line distance from Dongting City to the royal capital Christa is about 160 kilometers, so Abel Vera naturally cannot afford a jointly operated ticket.

In the end, between machine operation and kingdom operation, she chose the latter.

There is no free ticket for children in this world, so she spent 1 gold shield and queued up to buy two one-way tickets.

Jiangxi Lin's monthly rent was only about 1 yinlang, and the two tickets cost him nearly 10 months' rent.

Tsk tsk, in this world, people without any capital will probably live, grow old, get sick and die in one place for the rest of their lives.

From the ticket hall, you pass through a pointed arch-ribbed corridor with a net height of more than eight meters, and then you arrive at the train platform.

The platform was filled with passengers waiting for the train and family members seeing them off.

Jiang Xilin and Abel Vera followed the signs and arrived at the train platform bound for the royal capital of Christa.

The platform is transparent from north to south, with a ten-meter-high pointed vault overhead.

Next to them, stood an old couple seeing them off. Judging from the wrinkles on their faces and the color of their hair, they were estimated to be no less than sixty years old.

Among this old couple, the old man is wearing a black satin velvet jacket and a top hat on his head, looking like an old gentleman. The old lady is wearing a burgundy fur, a velvet round hat, and light makeup on her face.

One look and you can tell that he was probably a fashion forward when he was young.

The person they saw off was a teenage girl with a small light brown suitcase at her feet.

The girl is tall, wearing a moon-white woolen jacket on the upper body, a light grass-colored pleated skirt on the lower body, and thick cotton socks of the same color as the jacket on the lower body.

So, there is no need to worry about those long legs being frozen.

"Oh, grandma's little Lia, grandma is reluctant to let you go."

The old woman hugged the tall girl in the green skirt, her eyes a little red.

"Grandma, you're here again."

The girl in the green dress raised her hand and patted her forehead, her expression looking helpless.

"Okay, Tracy, don't be like this, it's not like Little Leah won't come back."

The old gentleman on the side gently pulled his wife and persuaded him with a smile.

"But I really can't let go of my little Leah. When she was so small, I held her, and in the blink of an eye she..."

"Okay, okay, grandma, I will go to study for two months. I will come back after the training is completed. Very soon."

The girl in green skirt interrupted the old lady's chatter.

The old gentleman looked at his granddaughter and wife with a smile. He was not worried at all, because such a scene would happen every three or four months.

Jiang Xilin withdrew his gaze, turned to the landlady who was holding his daughter beside him, and asked with a smile,

"Have all arrangements been made in the royal capital?"

"I wrote a letter to my father's former friend and received a reply."

"Can you trust it?"

"Of course I can trust it!"

Abel Vera couldn't help but smile,

"Uncle Wofk was my father's best friend during his lifetime."

"As long as you can trust it."

Jiang Xilin nodded, he also cared about her.

This world is not like the previous life. As long as you have money in your card and a mobile phone, you can go anywhere.

People in this world have very low empathy for strangers.

If Abel Vera took her daughter to Christa alone without a trusted acquaintance to help her, she would most likely end up living on the streets within two days of arriving in the capital.

…

Woo——woo——

Besides, besides, besides...

The sound of the whistle was accompanied by the sound of the wheels hitting the joints of the track.

"The car is here."

Jiang Xilin looked at the direction from which the sound came.

The train slowly drove into the platform, and he finally saw with his own eyes what the trains in this world looked like.

Although he has never seen with his own eyes what a steam train looked like in his previous life, he has seen a lot of corresponding film and television works.

He was very sure that the steam trains in his previous life would never look like this.

The front of the steam train in front of you is a huge yellow metal ball. Many "Γ"-shaped metal tubes are installed along the equatorial surface of the metal ball. White hot high-pressure steam spurts out from the metal tubes, driving the metal ball to rotate rapidly.

On both sides of the metal ball, there is a pair of cast steel legs, and the power of the rotating ball is transmitted to the wheels through large and small gears and hinges.

Behind the wheel is the driver's cab, which is very small, and below the driver's cab is the boiler room, which requires three people to continuously add coal.

Immediately behind the front of the car is the coal car, and after the coal car are the carriages for passengers. There are eight cars in total, each car is about eight meters long. If it is full, it can squeeze about a hundred people.

Although you don’t need to check in to enter the station, you do need to check in to get on the train.

Jiang Xilin carried the suitcase and sent Abel Vera and her daughter to the boarding gate. He watched them check their tickets before handing the suitcase over.

"Be careful along the way, be more attentive, and pay attention to safety."

"Well, thank you."

Abel Vera pursed her lips, her voice was low, and her eyes were a little sad.

Jiang Xilin smiled and waved, without saying anything else, he simply turned around and left.

Abel Vera pursed her lips and looked at Lin's back in Jiangxi, her eyes a little red.

Since her father's death, Jiang Xilin was the first person to tell her to be careful and care about her safety.

"Mr. Xilin."

Jiang Xilin had just taken a few steps when he heard the voice of the landlady suddenly coming from behind him.

He turned around, and the landlady's body, which smelled faintly of acacia, ran directly into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you, Mr. Xilin."

She put her feet on her feet, hung her chin on Jiang Xilin's shoulder, and whispered softly.

This sudden turn of events caught Jiangxi Lin Wei slightly off guard, but he quickly reacted and raised his hands to hug her back and patted her gently.

Soon, the two separated, and at this time, a short figure rushed over again.

She hugged Jiang Xilin's waist, pressed her chin against Jiang Xilin's belly, and looked up at him with her pink and tender face.

"Brother Xilin, will you come to the capital in the future?"

Jiang Xilin raised his hand and pinched the little cute creature's cheek, rubbing it gently.

"meeting."

"Then, when you arrive in the royal capital, will you come to see me and my mother?"

"It will definitely happen."
