Chapter 650
"Uncle Xu! What are you doing here!"
"Uncle, shouldn't you be at home, doing... you know? Why did you come onto the train with us?"
When Wang Pangzi and Wu Xie found their compartment according to their train tickets, they saw Butler Xu sitting inside, elegantly drinking tea.
The two slammed the compartment door shut, checked the door number and their train tickets, then opened it again. The person inside hadn't disappeared.
After repeating this several times, the two, who almost attracted the attention of the train conductor, finally entered the compartment.
"His Highness was worried that you two might encounter some danger, so he asked me to come with you to check on you." Steward Xu held up his teacup and gestured for the two to sit down and talk.
After Wu Xie and Fatty Wang put down their luggage, they sat respectfully opposite Steward Xu, looking at each other but neither of them was willing to speak first.
"I have already spoken with the head of the family about the Northwest. They are worried that something might go wrong there, so they have sent me there to prevent any unnecessary unrest."
Butler Xu pointed to his ear, then to the carriage wall behind him.
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang instantly understood what Butler Xu was doing.
"Uncle Xu, you've just come out like this. What will happen to your family? What about your whole family? How will they manage without you?"
"Yes, you came out so lightly dressed. The Northwest is a very remote place. You didn't even bring a couple of warmer clothes. You just went there with nothing but your clothes. You're getting on in years. What if you get sick from the change in environment? Wouldn't that cause problems?"
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang chatted back and forth, their words tinged with dissatisfaction and even a hint of arrogance.
"You two greenhorns! I've lived a much longer life than you two. This little bit of hardship can't possibly stump me!"
Old Master Xu was a stubborn man; he slammed his fist on the table, glaring at the two younger men in front of him, his voice so loud that it could be heard several private rooms away.
Sure enough, a short while later, they heard the sound of the door to the next carriage being opened. When the knocking started, Grandpa Xu was still angry and speaking in a rude tone.
"Who is it! Don't you even know what time it is? You're not sleeping, but this old man needs to rest!"
Grandpa Xu stood up, cursing and swearing, opened the door, and looked at the bewildered young man standing at the door.
"You impolite young man, what do you have to do that you have to come to this old man at this hour?"
The young man was also encountering this kind of thing for the first time, and he was scolded by Grandpa Xu until his face turned red and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
After Grandpa Xu had finished scolding, he softened his expression and asked the young man what he had come for.
The young man spoke tremblingly, "Sir, could you please lower your voice? My child was just born, and we're taking him back to our hometown to pay respects to our ancestors, so..."
After hearing this, Grandpa Xu said with a stern face, "What's wrong with my voice? This is my voice! If you want to listen, then listen; if you don't, then ask the flight attendant to change your compartment!" After saying that, he closed the door.
The young man's bangs were blown up by the wind caused by the forceful slam of the door. In the end, he didn't have the courage to knock on the door a second time and could only return to his private room feeling aggrieved.
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were truly impressed by Old Master Xu's outstanding acting skills.
"Uncle Xu, I never knew you had such skills!"
"Yeah, right! Who did you learn this from? It's so similar!"
"Alright! I'm getting old, and climbing mountains like this is going to be tough! I'd better just rest and recuperate!" After saying that, Butler Xu lifted the blanket and crawled inside, turning his back to the two of them to take a nap.
Looking at Steward Xu's skills, which were even more agile than theirs, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang could tell that he was an old man.
Wu Xie looked at Fatty Wang with his eyes, asking what he should do. Fatty Wang shrugged, pointed at Butler Xu, then made a sleeping gesture, quietly rolled onto the bed, pulled the curtains in the private room, and crawled into bed to sleep.
Looking at the darkened private room, Wu Xie couldn't help but yawn. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of sleep and soon fell asleep.
