Chapter 47: Discovery

Here, Lu Zechen was drifting off to sleep, while Xia Ning’an was busy in her space, wielding a spatula with a frown.

The reason was that Little Meow had been craving braised lion’s head after eating it last time. Today, after signing an unequal treaty with Xia Ning’an, Xia Ning’an put 300 lion’s heads on the shelves today, and received a recipe for white wine and medicinal wine from the system.

With motivation, the unscrupulous host was now happy, while the system was feeling wronged, but it didn’t say anything.

After finishing her work, Xia Ning’an washed some strawberries and cherries, eating them while browsing. There were quite a few big-ticket items piled up in the warehouse. After the autumn harvest, it was the peak season for weddings. During this period, it was very difficult to get big-ticket items from department stores. Going to the black market would definitely fetch a good price.

The next day, at 6 am, she got dressed in her space and set off to the black market to sell some goods to Li Qiang.

Arriving at the small courtyard where she had delivered goods last time, she looked around and saw no one, so she went in. In the corner of the courtyard, she waved her hand, and a pile of tricycles, bicycles, sewing machines, radios, and a mountain of chicken and duck eggs appeared on the ground, along with baskets of live fish jumping around.

She had just finished putting down the goods when she turned around…

“Ze… Zechen!”

Looking at the shocked Lu Zechen, then turning back to see the pile of things on the ground, she really wanted to time travel back five minutes. Just as she was thinking about how to explain to Lu Zechen,

Suddenly, Lu Zechen ran forward and hugged Xia Ning’an tightly, burying his head in her shoulder, his voice muffled.

“An’an, promise me, never leave me, never disappear in front of me, okay?”

No, seeing so many things appear out of thin air, shouldn’t he be asking her about it?

Since he didn’t ask, Xia Ning’an didn’t plan to say much for now. She patted his back gently, her voice soft.

“Zechen, aren’t you afraid of me?”

Lu Zechen tightened his grip on Xia Ning’an: “I know you’re not the original Xia Ning’an. No matter who you are, since you came here and cured me, don’t leave me, okay?”

“You know?” Xia Ning’an asked in confusion.

“Yes.”

Actually, Lu Zechen had a dream the night his eyes recovered. In the dream, Xia Ning’an didn’t take care of him, but instead had a falling out with his family and quickly married a village intellectual. Xia Changhai and the village head took over a room in Lu’s house. Xia Changhai took care of him for a few months until his legs recovered, but his eyes didn’t get better. Later, he relied on making handicrafts to open a handicraft workshop in the village and lived his life alone.

So he knew that the dream was his original ending. It was Xia Ning’an’s arrival that made him recover and allowed him to return to the place he loved.

Xia Ning’an didn’t know that after she gave him the healing agent and gene optimization agent, the scars on his body had almost completely healed. Such good medicine couldn’t have been prescribed at the hospital.

So he told the captain that he had eaten a lot of Ganoderma lucidum, because now, no one could get a large amount of Ganoderma lucidum to treat diseases, only Xia Ning’an could grow it.

“So you’re a fairy, right? You came down to save me?”

“Yes, you’re a great hero, isn’t it my duty to save you?”

Xia Ning’an didn’t know about his dream, she just went along with his words. If he could accept it and help her keep it a secret, then she wouldn’t mind letting him know about the space. It would be impossible to keep it a secret from her military partner after marriage, but if he wanted to hand her over to the country for research, she would simply go into the space, frantically do missions, and wait for the missions to end before returning to her original world. Coming here and meeting such a high-quality man like Lu Zechen, she was definitely making a profit by living an extra life.

“You won’t leave me and go back, will you?”

“As long as you’re good to me, I won’t leave. If you dare to betray me, I’ll make sure you never find me again.” Xia Ning’an threatened.

“I won’t, I’ll only spoil you from now on.”

Getting Xia Ning’an’s promise, Lu Zechen didn’t say anything else, he just hugged her tightly.

After a while, Xia Ning’an pushed Lu Zechen: “Zechen, I need to get rid of these things quickly, otherwise my second brother will be looking for me soon.”

Lu Zechen reluctantly let go of Xia Ning’an.

“Then I’ll go with you to find someone.”

“I’ll go by myself.” Suddenly, Xia Ning’an remembered that she had come out wearing makeup, how did Lu Zechen recognize her?

As if seeing her thoughts, Lu Zechen said:

Your figure, the sound of your footsteps, the scent of you, I knew it was you.

Xia Ning’an chuckled awkwardly and prepared to go out and find Brother Qiang.

“I’ll go with you.” Seeing Lu Zechen’s anxious expression, she nodded and took out a hat and mask to cover him up.

At the entrance of the black market, the gatekeeper was the same person as last time. He obviously recognized Xia Ning’an and ran over enthusiastically.

“My dear, you’re finally here. Brother Qiang has been talking about you.”

“Go ask Brother Qiang if he wants tricycles and big-ticket items. If he does, prepare 25,000 cash and old items, and come with me to get the goods.”

“Okay, wait a minute, I’ll go tell Brother Qiang.” He said, quickly telling his companion and ran off.

Xia Ning’an pulled Lu Zechen to take a stroll around the black market. The little brother guarding the gate knew this big customer of the boss, so he didn’t charge them an entrance fee and let them in.

The two of them wandered around the black market. They saw someone selling sheepskin boots. These shoes were very popular in winter, they were warm, snow-proof and slip-proof. The supply and marketing cooperatives were always out of stock. Xia Ning’an bought a pair for Xia Changhai, her second brother, and Lu Zechen, according to their sizes. Lu Zechen quickly paid for them.

“Huh? Zechen, you still have money?”

“The captain just gave me a mission allowance yesterday. I’ll turn in the rest when I get home.” Lu Zechen whispered in Xia Ning’an’s ear.

“I don’t want your money, I’ll return your passbook when I get home.”

“No, you’re mine, so the money is yours too. You can’t refuse me.”

Xia Ning’an saw his serious and nervous look, and she had the illusion that he would cry if she didn’t take his money.

“We’ll see how you behave when we get home.”

After wandering around for about ten minutes, the two of them came out with the shoes and saw Brother Qiang waiting at the gate with a few people.

“Little sister, I’ve been waiting for you. What good stuff do you have this time?” Li Qiang walked over enthusiastically when he saw Xia Ning’an.

“Mainly tricycles and big-ticket items, also some eggs and fish, and some watches. I don’t know if you want them all.”

“I want them, I want anything from you, little sister.”

“Let’s go see the goods first.”

Entering the courtyard, they saw a pile of scarce goods, and Li Qiang was so happy that his voice became louder.

While they were checking the goods, Xia Ning’an took advantage of Lu Zechen’s cover to take out 20 watches from the space, 10 men’s and 10 women’s, all ordinary domestic watches.

Li Qiang gave 110 yuan for each watch. This time, the total amount was 26,580 yuan. Li Qiang gave Xia Ning’an 10,000 yuan in cash and 4 boxes of old items.

“Little sister, this is for you to play with, take it.” Li Qiang said, handing her a box.

Xia Ning’an opened it and saw a set of jade jewelry, a string of beads, a pair of bracelets, a pair of hairpins, and a pair of earrings. The water quality was very good.

“Thank you, Brother Qiang, this is for you.” She said, taking out a Ganoderma lucidum from her bag and giving it to Li Qiang.

Li Qiang saw the high-quality Ganoderma lucidum and his pupils dilated in shock. This was a real treasure. At this time, being polite was foolish. He quickly took the box:

“Little sister, you’re really generous. Thank you.”

“I’ll come to you next time I have goods.”

“Okay, see you next time, little sister!”

Lu Zechen rode the tricycle, loaded Xia Ning’an and the boxes, and left the courtyard first.
