It was bitter cold, yet they managed to work up a sweat.
After thanking the kind men and women who helped them, they carried their stuff and squeezed their way to their seats.
It was still a four-seater, and the three men stuffed the big bundles into the overhead racks and under and around their feet.
Worried about losing their belongings, they could only place their bags under their feet. With no choice, they had to step on the bags.
Luckily, they were thick cloth bags, durable and dirt-resistant.
Throughout the journey, the train was crowded, with people even on the aisles and under the seats.
Su Nian had never seen people crawling in and out from under seats before; he had only seen it on TV before.
The train carriage was filled with a mix of odors. Su Nian, who had just squeezed through the crowd, was nearly scared of being compressed, and he dared not drink much water for fear of needing the restroom.
