Chapter 194 The Black Market in Fuwen County



"Oh, I want to admit it too."

Everyone looked silently at the old man who spoke bluntly, and the meaning in their eyes was very clear.

You are a person who really dares to speak out. We also wanted to do so, but we didn't dare to say it.

Ming Leyao didn't care. With a faint smile on her face, she greeted the elders one by one under He Zhengbin's introduction.

"Come on, girl, just sit here. We have already lined up. Thank you for your hard work today."

"It's not hard. All the elders have worked hard for the country and the people all their lives. They should enjoy a peaceful life in their old age. Le Yao only has this little ability. It's an honor to be able to help the elders."

"Oh, this little mouth is really good at talking."

"He's good-looking and speaks pleasantly. Oh, I envy that old man He."

As everyone was chatting, the old leader came out of the house on crutches, trembling and needing someone to support him when going down the stairs. His head full of white hair bore witness to the battlefields he had fought and the blood he had shed in his life, as well as many hidden dangers in his body.

"Oh, the old chief is here, so the first position is reserved for you."

"You guys, didn't scare the little girl?"

"Hey, old chief, look at what you said. We didn't say anything. We just envy Old He a little bit."

"You guys..."

The old chief sat in the front, looking up at Ming Leyao behind the table with clear eyes and a look of appreciation.

"He's a good boy."

"Old Chief, can I feel your pulse first?"

"Okay, I'll shamelessly line up first, girl, you better give me a good look."

"become."

Ming Leyao placed her hand on the old leader's pulse and had some idea of ​​his condition.

There were countless hidden injuries. This body was like a funnel. No matter what good stuff went in, it would all leak out. He was tortured by pain every day, but he gritted his teeth and didn't tell anyone.

This is the pride of being a soldier.

No tears, no blood. Swallow your teeth and blood.

"Old commander, these are all hidden injuries left over from previous battles. You must have taken a lot of care of your body in the past few years, but your body cannot retain those things, so naturally there is no improvement."

"What treatment is there?"

"Take the medicine in this bottle for three days. I'll come back to see you after three days."

"well."

The old leader took the medicine bottle, immediately poured the medicine into the palm of his hand, threw it directly into his mouth, chewed it for a while and came to the conclusion that "it's quite delicious".

Ming Leyao found it a little funny. This old leader really had a heroic character.

The subsequent diagnosis went very smoothly. Everyone's lesions were basically the same, the difference was in severity. They all injured their bodies in their early years, and when they got old, they suffered from a lot of illnesses. No matter how much medicine they took, it didn't work. Sometimes the pain was so severe that they wanted to die.

After distributing pills to everyone and giving some instructions about diet, Ming Leyao followed He Zhengbin to the cafeteria to prepare for lunch.

On the way, He Zhengbin couldn't help but ask about the health of these old men out of curiosity.

"I've said it before, hidden injuries, left over from the battlefield in the early years, have now become fatal."

"Can your pill really cure everything?"

"Why? Second uncle doesn't believe me?"

"That's not the case, I just want to make sure."

"We'll know in three days."

"So soon?"

Ming Leyao gave him a look that said "figure it out yourself" and strode straight into the cafeteria.

If it's time to eat and you're not motivated to eat, then there's something wrong with your thinking.

The two of them arrived neither too early nor too late. Quite a few soldiers had already gathered in the cafeteria, quickly eating the steamed buns made of two grains of flour and a bowl of stew in their hands. The stew didn't have much oil or water in it, but they ate it very happily, with satisfied expressions on their faces.

Ming Leyao didn't ask for any special treatment. She went to the window and ordered a bowl of cabbage and a steamed bun. She paid her meal ticket, found a place to sit down and waited for He Zhengbin.

Unexpectedly, when he came back, he had a plate of scrambled eggs in his hands.

"Improve your food."

"If you do this, aren't you afraid that they will say you are being special?"

"What are you afraid of? You are not from my army."

"......"

Yes, she is from outside.

It was Ming Leyao's first time to eat under so many people staring at her, so she felt a little embarrassed. He Zhengbin saw her discomfort, turned around, and swept his sharp black eyes over the soldiers, threatening them secretly.

Upon seeing this, Bingdanzi quickly retracted his gaze and ate the food in his hand seriously. At the same time, the thought of Ming Leyao's identity once again came to his mind.

There is no way. Since He Zhengbin came to the military region, his popularity has been comparable to that of meat and vegetables, but he has never shown intimacy to anyone. Now a female comrade has appeared and he has taken such good care of her, who wouldn’t be curious? ?

After dinner, He Zhengbin sent the people downstairs and went back to work.

Before leaving, Ming Leyao said, "Uncle, please come back the day after tomorrow. I want to go to the county tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Are you going alone?"

"Why? What are you worried about me considering my abilities?"

"No, I'm worried about what's happening to other people."

"......"

You are the only one with a big mouth, right? Look at what you can do.

"Hurry and go."

After leaving these three words, Ming Leyao returned to her room angrily, locked the door, drew the curtains, turned around and entered the space.

However, He Zhengbin, who was standing outside, saw the curtains drawn and thought Ming Leyao was just having a tantrum, so he couldn't help but smile.

Oh, it’s good to be young. You can get angry at any time, but you need someone to pamper you. It seems that Fu Wencheng is not completely useless.

Ming Leyao had two days of free time and she didn't plan to waste it. She left the guesthouse that afternoon and headed straight for Fuwen County.

The Northeast Military Region is located in a relatively remote area, at the northernmost end. The county town is not as prosperous as Baihe County. There is only one main road, and there is not even a department store. The only supply and marketing cooperative is short and small, and there are not many things for sale inside.

Ming Leyao walked around and found a guesthouse and booked a room.

The room in this guesthouse was better than Ming Leyao had imagined. It was much cleaner than the dusty streets outside.

After putting the things away, she began to look for the black market in Fuwen County. After wandering around in a small place for less than half an hour, she found a small courtyard. She observed and saw two or three people coming in and out occasionally. They all looked tense. When they came out, they looked around with the things in their hands tightly clenched.

After changing her clothes and carrying a backpack, Ming Leyao walked in with a swagger.

The gate to the yard was not closed, and she went in and saw no one in the backyard. Just as she was about to shout, she saw the door to the main room opened, and an extremely lazy man walked out.

Without even raising his eyelids, he said weakly, "Today's items are all sold out. If you want to buy something, come back tomorrow."

“Do you collect food here?”

"You have food to sell?"

After hearing Ming Leyao's words, the comrades who were originally lazy suddenly became energetic.

(There are still 6,000 left at noon, so you can watch it in the afternoon.)
