Yu Bing and the others embarked on the journey north.
It took two days and two nights for them to take the train to the capital from Jiang Province. Fortunately, Xiao Sheng used his connections to buy four sleeper spots. After he left the capital train station, he found two tricycle buses and took them to the guest house near the capital university to temporarily settle down.
Xiao Sheng booked two rooms. After putting the things away, Yu Bing suggested finding a place to stay first. After all, the guest house was too expensive. The less time they stayed there, the better.
The school was in the downtown area of the capital and there were many houses of local residents nearby. Most of them had been requisitioned by the state after the new regime was established. The landlord would usually be able to have a few more houses. Many people were willing to squeeze their entire family into one single house to subsidize their families.
