Chapter 267

Xia Enxue looked at the old man first, then looked at him again, and whispered.

"unbelievable……"

In front of Xia Enxue and the little squirrel were the railway tracks, not only that, but there was not a single weed that was so luxuriant just now.Carefully paved cobblestones, and sleepers arranged almost at equal intervals are all in sight.

Also, the two rails are as shiny as they were just delivered from the factory.Reflecting the sun, wherever Xia Enxue saw, the front and sides of the rails were shining with bright black light.

"I'm kidding, my two-wheel trailer is not very useful, sorry, can you move your car out of the railway?"

"Huh? Ah, yes, of course."

Xia Enxue said in a panic.Then he came to the squatting old man again, lowered his head slightly and asked.

"Well, I want to ask you something... is that okay?"

"What's the matter? As long as I know."

"Well, all of this...even weeding and polishing the rails, did you do it all by yourself?" Xia Enxue pointed to the railway behind her.

"Ah, this is my job." The old man said nonchalantly.

"Yes, work?"

"Ah, yes. I do it all the time," said the old man, pulling the grass by his feet.

Xia Enxue looked at the two-wheeled trailer, which seemed to be loaded with daily necessities for the elderly.Xia Enxue glanced at the little squirrel again, and asked a question that she must have asked too.

"How long has it been?"

"More than 50 years." The old man replied casually.

"50 years?" the little squirrel asked loudly.

"I can't remember the exact time. It's been about this long. I've been counting the winter..."

"...Have you been polishing the rails for 50 years?" Xia Enxue asked.

"Ah? Ah. I joined the railway company when I was 18 years old. At that time, there was a line that was not used yet, but it might be used at some point. I was appointed to try my best to polish this railway. Because I have not yet been Ordered to stop, so it has been doing this until now.”

"Haven't you been home once?"

"Ah, I already had a wife and children at that time. I had to find a way to support them no matter what. What happened now? My salary should still be on. I don't think they will be a problem."

"..."

Xia Enxue and the little squirrel just stood there, unable to say anything.

"Where are you going?" the old man asked casually.

Between two gleaming railroad tracks, the car moved.

Xia Enxue and the little squirrel have been on their way since sunrise, Xia Enxue only took a break when they saw a stream, and took a handful of water to drink.

The railway slowly undulates and extends forward in the tropical rainforest.The road paved with gray cobblestones guides the direction of Xia Enxue and the little squirrel.

"Thank you to that old man yesterday." The little squirrel repeated what he had said several times today.Thanks to the rails, weeded and polished to reflect the sky, it's easier to drive than it was yesterday.Xia Enxue and the little squirrel continued to drive while feeling the regular vibration of the crossties.

When Xia Enxue felt hungry, they met the second person.

The first person to notice it was Xia Enxue.

Just after turning a rather sharp detour, Xia Enxue suddenly squeezed the brakes.The little squirrel also quickly noticed that there was a two-wheeled trailer parked on the railway, and there was a man beside it.

The man turned around in surprise, put a long stick-like object in his hand on the trailer, and opened his hand to signal them to stop.

Xia Enxue stopped the little squirrel in front of the man, turned off the engine, and got out of the car.
