Lin Shan struggled to get up with great difficulty. Seeing that nothing he did worked on Lin Xiaoxiao, he became even more frightened. Could it be that the ghost boss was possessing this unlucky girl?
Lin Xiaoxiao took two steps forward, and the three of them were so frightened that they crawled back two steps.
"There are quite a few good things here." Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the peach wood sword and used the system in her space to identify it. It turned out to be a hundred years old and was made of peach wood struck by lightning.
This is something you can only come across once in a lifetime.
It's such a shame that it fell into the hands of this piece of trash.
Lin Xiaoxiao gently placed the peach wood sword aside, then smiled at them. She rolled up her sleeves and got to work.
About ten minutes later, the three of them lay in a row, their faces contorted in pain from the beating, their eyes unfocused as they stared at the ceiling.
Seeing that they didn't move, Lin Xiaoxiao strode back to her room with a carefree air.
*****
Lin Xiaoxiao was sleeping soundly, and the room was so quiet that only her even breathing could be heard.
At midnight, the night is like a huge black curtain, enveloping the whole world.
Just then, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from inside the house, and the slight creaking sound was unusually clear in the quiet night.
Because of the apocalypse, Lin Xiaoxiao was very alert even when she slept. She suddenly opened her eyes.
I listened intently to the sounds outside.
Lin Xiaoxiao quickly put on her clothes and got up, her movements as light as a cat's.
Upon exiting the building, one could see Lin Shan limping cautiously, dragging his injured leg as he went out.
The injury to his leg was severe, and Lin Shan's face was full of pain. He held a flashlight and would occasionally look around, appearing very vigilant.
Is Lin Shan trying to contact his upline or downline?
Judging from his skillful movements, Lin Shan must have been involved with the black market for quite some time.
I just don't know why Lin Shan would go out at this time and in this state.
She followed carefully, staying close behind.
The streets were deserted at night. In this day and age, most people are reluctant to turn on their own lights, let alone at this time when everyone is already resting.
At first glance, it's pitch black; someone without guts wouldn't dare go out alone.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were fixed on Lin Shan as they walked through several familiar streets.
A few minutes later, they arrived at a secluded corner.
Upon arriving at the location, Lin Shan remained particularly vigilant, observing the area from the outside several times. After confirming there was no danger, he saw Lin Shan fiddling with something on the floor before finally pulling open a panel and walking inside.
That was close! Lin Xiaoxiao was almost seen, but luckily she managed to escape into the spatial dimension in a moment of crisis.
Lin Shan is certainly quite vigilant.
To Lin Xiaoxiao's surprise, there was actually a cellar here. It has to be said that Lin Shan was quite shrewd when it came to doing bad things.
Upon entering the dimly lit basement, they saw Lin Shan and a tall, burly man with a menacing face sitting at a dilapidated table with two glasses of water that had been prepared long ago on the table.
They were very cautious, speaking in hushed tones even in the basement, making sure no outsiders could hear them.
The tall man picked up his enamel mug, took a sip, and then said to Lin Shan:
"Brother, try the good wine I brought. I specially saved this for you."
Lin Shan nodded, took the enamel cup, and took a sip. "It is indeed good wine."
The tall man curiously examined Lin Shan's legs.
"Brother Lin, what's wrong with your foot...?"
Lin Shan: "Oh, I fell off my bike on the way back last night. It's nothing serious, I'll be fine in a few days."
The tall man's expression was somewhat complicated:
"I heard that Aunt Lin from our family was also injured and hospitalized. How come you two are both injured..."
"It's a long story," Lin Shan said, his expression turning cold, before explaining his purpose:
"Something came up at home, and I need something new. When would be a good time to make the deal?"
"Something new?" The tall man raised an eyebrow. "You mean...?"
After saying that, he scratched his own neck.
Lin Shan nodded repeatedly: "Is it because it's hard for you to get it?"
"Since you asked, I'll tell you the truth."
The tall man looked at him and said:
"I've only heard of this thing, but it's related to our country. If we take it out and it gets discovered, we'll all be shot."
Although the tall guy was daring and had been in the black market for a long time, he was still very afraid of this kind of thing.
The black market is just a matter of speculation and profiteering. If something goes wrong, outsiders still have room to maneuver and protect him.
But if you get involved with the country of little poop, you won't even have enough to pay with your life.
After all, you need to be alive to spend this kind of money, even if you're lucky enough to earn it.
Even if it's a brother he'd risk his life for, he'd hesitate for a moment.
Lin Shan paused for a moment, then explained:
“Tell me where this is, and I can go get it myself. I definitely won’t make things difficult for you. I’m really in a difficult situation right now.”
"I see..." The tall man hesitated for a moment.
Just then, an old woman dressed in black with a serious face walked into the basement.
This person was none other than Wang Po, who had been acting as matchmaker for them.
The other party greeted Lin Shan and then subtly told him something.
She said she knew about this stuff, and that she could get the goods from the black market, but was she sure she wanted to risk coming into contact with poison from her little father's country?
