Chapter 9 Going to the Black Market

Luo Xingci was touched. In her previous life, he had said the same thing, that he would support her. But in her previous life, she hadn’t seen this younger brother until she was sold. In this life, she would protect him no matter what. If he wanted to leave or turn against her, she could only spare his life. If she were to let Wu Haihua and the others go, that would be impossible. “What if I want to deal with your mother and the others in the future? Will you still support me? Jiapeng, let me tell you the truth, I have a deep grudge against your mother and the Luo family.

I will make them go to hell! You still have time to leave now.” Luo Jiapeng looked at her suddenly fierce eyes and felt a little strange. Maybe what he dreamed was true, grandpa and grandma really wanted to sell his sister to an old bachelor in a remote mountainous area. He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, he raised his little head and said, “Sister, no matter what you do to them, I will stand by you. My grandma said that we should not provoke trouble, but we should not be afraid of trouble either. The premise is to protect ourselves. Sister, do whatever you want, just let me see my mother one last time.

” Actually, he also knew that Wu Haihua wasn’t that good to him. He was also dispensable in her heart. Moreover, his mother sometimes asked him to gain his sister’s trust, make his sister work to support him, and said that his sister was a money-losing asset, that she would eventually marry into another family, and that she was someone else’s child, so he shouldn’t be so good to her. He told his grandma about this, but his grandma said that people shouldn’t be like that. Although his sister was a girl, she was also a human being. She was also born and raised by her mother, and she was her mother’s treasure. He should also help his sister with chores.

Luo Xingci touched his head, “Okay, I can promise you that. If you don’t want to go back, stay here. If you want to go back, tell me and I’ll take you back. But don’t let anyone else know I live here.” “I know, sister. This is our secret base. I also have a secret base with Gou Dan and the others. No one knows.” Luo Jiapeng whispered in her ear. The little guy seemed very happy, running around the house without getting tired. After making some food for him, she planned to go to the black market. She wanted to sell the wild boar. She knew that the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination in November 1977 would be announced nationwide.

She wanted to save enough money before the college entrance examination and see if she could buy a house and settle down in another place. In the past, she had excellent grades and was the top student in her class. After her mother died, the Luo family made her drop out of school. She didn’t know what the college entrance examination would cover, so she needed to get the materials as soon as possible. She didn’t know how the country would develop in the future, but she knew that buying and selling would be restored later, and many people would make their first pot of gold during that time. She didn’t know much about these things. In her previous life, she spent most of her time in a small dark room. She only heard it mentioned by the old bachelors when they were chatting. She listened a little more. She liked to hear about people and things outside, but unfortunately… “I made some food on the stove. If you’re hungry, go eat. Remember not to run around.

 If you’re tired, take a rest. I’m going out. If I don’t come back, you can cook something yourself. The food is in the rice bin inside.” Luo Jiapeng nodded obediently, “Sister, go ahead. I’ll stay home and be good.” Why did that sound wrong? But she couldn’t say exactly what was wrong. Luo Xingci didn’t think much of it and packed up quickly before leaving. She didn’t know if she could catch the brigade’s ox cart to town today. If she had to walk, it would take about two hours. When she returned to the brigade, she didn’t see the ox cart. Luo Xingci had no choice but to walk to town.

This was the first time she had walked so far since she was reborn. After two hours, her legs didn’t feel very tired. It was all thanks to the spiritual spring water. Fortunately, she had been drinking spiritual spring water every day recently. Otherwise, her legs would have been useless. To be honest, she didn’t know where the black market was. This kind of place must be in a hidden location. She should go to those alleys and she would be able to find the entrance. Before entering the alley, she found a secluded place and entered her space to disguise herself. Only her eyes were exposed, everything else was hidden. She took some of the eggs, refined rice, and noodles from her space.

 There was a strong middle-aged man guarding the entrance to the black market. When he saw a stranger, his eyes instantly became alert. Moreover, she was wrapped so tightly, his alarm bells started ringing. Luo Xingci walked up to him and handed him a cigarette. She pointed to the inside with her finger. The middle-aged man looked her up and down before letting her in. The man wasn’t a pushover. He could tell at a glance whether someone was a red armband or not. Therefore, the easy job of gatekeeper was his for the taking.

After Luo Xingci entered, she realized that there weren’t many people in the black market, but there were all kinds of people. Some people were in a hurry for money and brought their chickens to sell. Some sold sweet potatoes, some sold clothes and bedding, and some sold everything. Luo Xingci did the same as them, finding a corner to squat down. After waiting for about twenty minutes, someone came up to her and asked, “What do you have to sell?” The person was a young man who looked about twenty years old. “Eggs, refined rice, and noodles.” “Open it up and let me see.” He wanted a lot of grain. Besides grain, he also wanted wild game, but he searched everywhere and couldn’t find anyone selling wild game. Wild game was difficult to hunt these days.

Luo Xingci opened the basket. When the skinny monkey saw the things in the basket, his eyes lit up. “Your eggs are really good. And this rice, may I ask, where did you buy these things?” The skinny monkey spoke in a very low voice, only they two could hear. Luo Xingci was excited when she heard this, but she didn’t show it on her face. “Heroes don’t ask where they come from, and things don’t ask where they come from!” “Let’s find a place to have a good chat? Don’t worry, I’m not a bad guy, and I’m not interested in someone like you.” Luo Xingci was wearing a headscarf, so he couldn’t see her face. Besides, he had a wife, and he only loved his wife.

 Luo Xingci nodded, “Then let’s go to the alley outside?” She also wanted to know what the other party wanted. After leaving the black market, the two stood in the alley. The skinny monkey looked around cautiously, making sure no one was around, before lowering his voice and asking, “Everyone who goes to the black market wants to make money. I’ve seen your rice and eggs. They’re good stuff. Do you have any wild game? There’s a customer who needs some wild game for his son’s wedding.” “I’ll go back and ask. I’ll see if I can get some for you, but I can’t guarantee it.” She didn’t say that she had wild boar and hare right now, but left a loophole.

From his words, it seemed that wild game was very difficult to hunt. If it was easy, he wouldn’t have come to ask a stranger. The skinny monkey nodded, “Okay, how much of this refined rice and eggs do you have? I’ll take it all.” These things could be sold at a good price in the wealthy area.
