It's two streets away from here.
The lights were still on in a courtyard.
This is unusual at this time of year.
People in this era are very frugal.
They wouldn't even light an oil lamp unless absolutely necessary.
With nothing to do late at night, there's no entertainment other than trying to conceive.
This is one of the reasons why people in this era often have many siblings.
It was already past midnight, yet the lights were still on.
It was unusual to begin with.
The owl landed not far from the window.
The sounds inside were very low. On a branch, an owl stood with its large eyes fixed on the inside.
The fact that the room was made of glass made Gu Yunyang somewhat sobered up.
"Otherwise, we might not even be able to see inside."
There were two men inside. One of them was sitting down; he was probably middle-aged, in his forties or fifties.
Because she takes such good care of herself, it's difficult to determine her exact age.
The man opposite him is Knife Boy.
Daozai was standing, and he was reporting: "Mr. Zhou, everything has been moved over and stored away in its proper categories."
Mr. Zhou nodded: "Not bad, you did a very good job today."
After a pause, Mr. Zhou said, "The black market has been closed for a while since the last incident."
The situation has eased a bit these past few days, and we've collected almost everything. Tomorrow, spread the word that the black market has reopened in the southern woods.
As he spoke, Mr. Zhou got up, paced back and forth a couple of times, and said, “This time, we need to keep a low profile. The commune and the police station are not easy to deal with. If they hear any rumors, I’m afraid they’ll target us again. Let’s not open during the day, but at night.”
this?
Knife hesitated for a moment and said, "But if we don't open during the day, business will be much worse."
Mr. Zhou scolded, "It doesn't matter if business is a little bad. Money is just a number. The most important thing is safety. Although the situation isn't as tense as before, I'm still a little worried. Don't worry, just wait a few days until it's completely safe before you reopen."
Seeing that Mr. Zhuo was angry, Daozai was also a little flustered and bowed down to apologize: "Yes, I understand, Mr. Zhou. I will do my best."
But this action puzzled Gu Yunyang.
"Was it because you were too scared, or was it an unconscious action? This isn't how an apology should be done."
This action reminded Gu Yunyang of Sakura, but he wasn't sure yet.
In addition, Mr. Zhou's appearance was also somewhat strange.
Gu Yunyang felt that the face looked somewhat familiar.
For a moment, he couldn't remember who it was.
When he walked two streets and approached the courtyard.
The young man with the knife had finished talking to Mr. Zhou and came out of the house, intending to leave.
Gu Yunyang gave the knife-wielding boy a deep look, only to see the boy suddenly turn around in confusion and look towards where Gu Yunyang was hiding.
But Gu Yunyang was already in the shadows, and when Daozai looked over, he remained completely still.
Daozai didn't see anything either, and in his confusion, he even moved a little closer.
Gu Yunyang quickly entered the base space.
But at this tense moment, a thought flashed through Gu Yunyang's mind: "This Mr. Zhou looks a bit like Zhou Hongcai and Zhou Zhigang. No wonder he looks familiar."
Daozai searched the area but found no trace of anyone.
He shook his head in surprise: "I clearly felt there were people here, but when I came over, there wasn't a trace of them at all?"
Finally, he cursed a few more times.
Gu Yunyang heard the pronunciation and frowned: "Why does it sound a bit like the beginning of Sakura's swear words? Although he forcibly changed it in the end, it still feels a bit discordant."
Gu Yunyang didn't come out immediately after the other party left.
