Luo Xingci was somewhat touched. He had said the same thing in her previous life, that he would support her, but she had never seen this adopted brother until she was sold in her previous life. In this life, she would protect him no matter what. If he wanted to leave or turned against her, she could only spare his life at most. If she was asked to let Wu Haixia and the others go, that would be impossible.
"What if I have 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 hatred with your mother and the Luo family. I will definitely make them go to hell! It's not too late for you to leave now."
Luo Jiapeng looked at her suddenly fierce eyes and suddenly felt a little strange. Maybe what he dreamed about was true. His grandparents 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 want to do to them, I will stand by you. My grandmother said that we should not take the initiative to cause trouble, but we should not be afraid of trouble. The premise is to protect ourselves. Sister, do whatever you want, just let me see my mother for the last time in the future."
In fact, he also knew that Wu Haixia was not that good to him, and he was an insignificant existence in her heart. What's more, his mother sometimes asked him to gain the trust of his sister and let his sister work to support him. She also said that his sister was a money-loser and would marry into another family in the future. She was someone else's child and he couldn't be that good to her.
He told all this to his grandmother, but his grandmother said that this is not the right way to behave. Although his sister is a girl, she is also a human being, born by a mother, and is her mother's treasure. She also asked him to help his sister with housework.
Luo Xingci touched his head and said, "Okay, I can promise you this. If you don't want to go back, just stay here. If you want to go back, tell me and I'll take you back. But don't let other people know that I live here."
"I know, sister. This is our secret base. Goudan and I also have a secret base, and no one knows about it." Luo Jiapeng whispered in her ear. The little guy seemed very happy and ran around the house without feeling tired.
She made him some food and planned to go to the black market to sell the wild boar. She knew that the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination in November 1977 would be announced throughout the country.
She wanted to save enough money before the college entrance examination, and see if she could buy a house in another place and settle down there.
She used to have very good academic performance and was the top student in the class. Later, after her mother passed away, the Luo family made her drop out of school. She didn't know what would be tested on the college entrance examination, so she had to get the information as soon as possible.
She had no idea how the country would develop in the future, but she knew that trading would resume, and many people earned their first pot of gold in their lives at that time.
She didn't know much about these things. She spent her previous life in a small dark room. She just heard those old bachelors talking about them. She listened to a few more sentences. She liked to hear about the people and things outside, but unfortunately...
"I've made some food on the stove. If you're hungry, go eat it. Remember not to run around. If you're tired, take a rest. I'm going to be out for a while. If I'm not back, you can cook for yourself. The food is in the rice jar inside."
Luo Jiapeng nodded obediently, "Sister, don't worry, I will be a good boy at home."
Why did this sound wrong? But she couldn't tell what was wrong, so Luo Xingci didn't think much about it, and simply packed up and left.
I don’t know if I can take the team’s ox cart to town today. If I want to walk, it will take about two hours.
When he returned to the team, he didn't see the ox cart, so Luo Xingci had to walk to the town.
It was the first time she walked such a long distance after her rebirth. Her legs didn’t feel tired when she arrived in town two hours later. This was all thanks to the spiritual spring water. Fortunately, she had been drinking the 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. A place like the black market must be in a hidden place. She could just go to those alleys and she would always find the entrance.
Before entering the alley, she found a secluded place to enter the space and disguised herself, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed and nothing else visible. She took out some eggs and rice from the space.
There was a strong middle-aged man guarding the entrance to the black market. When he saw the strange face, his eyes instantly became alert, and she was wrapped so tightly that alarm bells went off in his heart.
Luo Xingci stepped forward and handed him a cigarette, then pointed inside. The middle-aged man looked her up and down before letting her in.
The man is no pushover either. He can tell at a glance whether someone is one of those people with red armbands, so the easy position of goalkeeper belongs to him.
After Luo Xingci entered, he found that there were not many people in the black market, but there were all kinds of people. Some people were in urgent need of money, so they brought their chickens to sell. There were also people selling sweet potatoes, and some selling clothes and bedding. There were all kinds of things for sale.
Luo Xingci also found a corner and squatted down like them.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, someone finally came forward and asked, "What do you have for sale?" The person was a man who looked to be in his early twenties.
"Eggs, rice, and noodles."
"Open it and let me see." He wanted a lot of food. In addition to food, he also wanted game. However, after looking around, he couldn't find anyone who had game to sell. Game is not easy to hunt now.
Luo Xingci opened the basket, and when Shouhou saw what was in the basket, his eyes lit up. "Your eggs are really good, and there's also this rice. Excuse me, where did you buy these things?"
The skinny monkey spoke in a very low voice, so only the two of them could hear it.
Luo Xingci was excited when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face. "Don't ask where a hero comes from, and don't ask where things come from!"
"Let's find a place to have a good chat? Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, and I'm not interested in people like you." Luo Xingci was wearing a headscarf, so his appearance couldn't be seen clearly. 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 to do.
After leaving the black market, the two stood in the alley. The skinny monkey looked around vigilantly and found no one. Then he lowered his voice and asked, "People who go to the black market want to make money. I've seen your rice and eggs. They are good stuff. Do you have any game? Recently, a customer's son is getting married and needs some game."
"I'll go back and ask if I can hunt some for you, but I can't guarantee it." She didn't have wild boars and rabbits right away, but she had some in reserve. From what he said, game was difficult to hunt, and if it was easy he wouldn't have come to ask a stranger.
The skinny monkey nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take all the refined rice and eggs you have." If we sell these things in the rich area, we will definitely make a lot of money.
