Qin Wan couldn't help but sigh: "The captain is so considerate."
After seeing off the team leader and the village chief and closing the door, Qin Wan looked at the self-contained square courtyard and felt extremely satisfied.
She took out a broom and other things from the space and simply cleaned the east room to use as a bedroom. Then she went back into the space to eat something, and then rode her bike to town.
At this time, the sunlight shone through the clouds and slanted onto the winding country road covered with mottled traces.
Qin Wan rode the half-worn bicycle, pedaling hard. The wheels made a squeaking sound, as if whispering various stories that happened in this small mountain village in the northeast.
The breeze blew across her cheeks, ruffling a few strands of hair, adding a touch of charm to her already beautiful appearance.
"Xiao Wan, are you going to town?" Aunt Li, who happened to be out working, asked with a smile on her face.
"Yes, Auntie! I rented a house, but there's nothing in it. I'm going to the scrap yard in town to see if there's anything I can use."
Qin Wan raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a sweet smile in response, but in the depths of her bright eyes, a hint of determination flashed across her face that was difficult for others to detect.
Qin Wan rode his bike fast and caught up with Mr. Niu's ox cart halfway. Qin Wan said hello to him and rode his bike forward again.
He ignored Qin Ruanruan who wanted to say hello to him.
After a long journey, we finally arrived in the town.
Qin Wan first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities. She put the light items into the backpack she had prepared and put most of the items into the space.
After completing her shopping mission, it was almost noon. She went to the state-owned restaurant again and bought two dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage.
After finishing the dumplings, she bought another portion of braised pork, another portion of twice-cooked pork, and more than ten large steamed buns. She said she had guests at home and asked the waiter to pack them for her. Similarly, when no one was around, Qin Wan sent the steamed buns, braised pork, and other items into the space.
After that, she went to the scrap collection station.
Today, there was an old lady sitting at the door. Qin Wan thought that this was probably the old man’s wife.
She walked over and greeted the old lady with a smile:
"Hello, grandma. You are guarding the door here. Where is the old man from last time?"
"Girl, you asked about my old man. The weather has turned cold, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He caught a bad cold and went to the hospital for an IV drip. He asked me to stay here and take care of him for a while."
"I see, Grandma, I don't know if Grandpa told you, but I put some wood for the step-out bed here a few days ago, and I want to take all of it away."
“I said it.
My old man is very serious about his work. I thought it was just some broken wood, so I wanted to use it for the fire, but he refused to let me, saying that it was something someone else had left here. Even if it was just a piece of needle and thread, I couldn't use it casually. When he went to get his injection today, he repeatedly told me not to take it.
So it was you, a little girl, who deposited your belongings here."
The old lady seemed to be complaining, but she actually spoke to Qin Wan very proudly.
Qin Wan smiled:
"Grandma, Grandpa is a very good man!"
The old lady said, "My daughter, you are right. This old man is just like what the quotations say: he won't take a single needle or thread from the people. Come, I will take you to get the wood."
"Grandma, if I hadn't wanted to find some books, I would have forgotten about these pieces of wood. Grandma, go ahead and do your work. You don't have to go. I can do it myself."
Qin Wan said this as he quickly walked deeper into the scrap yard. A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, but also mixed with the unique smell of rust and old objects that belonged to the scrap yard.
Qin Wan took a deep breath. The familiar yet unfamiliar feeling made her nervous and excited.
Qin Wan walked into the scrap yard and looked at the various wastes piled up in a disorderly manner. The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds and dappled onto the ground. She actually felt that this place, which should have looked desolate, showed a bit of mystery.
Out of the old lady's sight, she walked quickly towards the place where the broken furniture was stored. As she walked, she thought:
She wondered if the scattered legs and board of the step-out bed were still there. They were genuine Huanghuali wood. She didn't believe such fine material was something only she could recognize.
China is a great country with many hidden talents. She never dares to look down on anyone.
"well,"
Qin Wan couldn't help but sigh softly. She should have come here earlier. In fact, she hadn't forgotten at all, but she just didn't have the time or the opportunity to come. Although she could squeeze out a lot of time, she didn't dare to come to the town for no reason.
She also really wanted to buy some more books.
Last time, by chance, she found an ancient book here that recorded exquisite medical skills, which undoubtedly became a great blessing in her life.
Through her careful study and practice of this ancient book, she not only absorbed endless knowledge from it, but also successfully mastered a skill that had long since disappeared in the end of the world and remained only in people's distant memory - acupuncture.
Now, when she once again delved into this ancient and mysterious knowledge, she couldn't help but marvel at its magical effects that were beyond her imagination!
Every time a needle is inserted, it seems to contain an indescribable magic that can quickly relieve pain, harmonize qi and blood, and sometimes even have the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life.
Because of this, she became more and more eager to find more similar precious ancient books.
She firmly believed that among this pile of seemingly tattered garbage, there must be many books carrying ancient secrets and mysterious powers hidden inside.
Perhaps, hidden among those pages covered by the dust of time, there are key clues that can help her achieve a leap in strength.
Just as Qin Wan was concentrating on carefully searching through the piles of old books, a figure suddenly entered her field of vision.
He was wearing tattered clothes, his hair was messy, and he had an unruly smile on his face.
This person's name is Lin Feng.
From the outside, he looked like a notorious idler in the county, wandering around all day, with no fixed place to stay, no knowledge, and doing nothing all day.
However, what is little known is that he is actually a hidden antiquities dealer.
On weekdays, he behaves like a street thug, wandering around, fighting, and being a scoundrel who never does a proper job.
Seeing him appear, Qin Wan's heart tightened. Based on her intuition, she knew that this person was not as simple as he appeared on the surface. She even smelled a hint of the scent of being a fellow human being in him.
But she remained calm and continued to do what she had to do. She knew that if this person wanted to harm her, there would be a fight no matter how she behaved.
