Chapter 334 Entering the Black Market
As soon as Da Niu finished speaking, Shu Yu suddenly laughed, raised her chin, and said, "It's him."
What a coincidence! Shu Yu had Da Niu drive the carriage out of the woods.
The carriage in front belongs to the Ding family. Last time I chatted with Ding Yuehua, she inadvertently revealed that the eldest son of the Ding family would be going to the black market. Luckily, I didn't linger at home for too long, or I would have missed the Ding family's carriage.
Shu Yu told Da Niu what he was doing and then followed him.
They hadn't gone far with the carriage when another carriage came up behind them.
Shu Yu lifted the carriage curtain and looked back; it was also the carriage of a wealthy family in the county town.
It seems that everyone is heading in the same direction.
The carriage quickly overtook Shu Yu and rode alongside the Ding family's carriage.
Shu Yu and the others followed behind, walking slowly.
Before long, the two carriages in front turned a corner and entered a quiet bamboo forest.
The path through the bamboo forest was not wide, and the two carriages that were originally side by side could only move forward one after the other.
But after traveling for a while, they stopped, and the people on the carriage began to get off one after another.
Da Niu immediately pulled on the reins. Shu Yu hesitated for a moment before getting off the carriage. Only then did she see clearly where their carriage had stopped. There were people there to help park the carriage.
It seems this is the right place.
Ding Wenxi and the others had already moved forward, and Shu Yu had taken in the whole process of them getting off the bus.
She led Da Niu a few steps forward, and a man who looked like a black market gatekeeper stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Distinguished guest, do you have any tokens?"
Da Niu immediately tensed up. Did he need a token to enter the black market?
He couldn't help but look at Shu Yu, but to his surprise, the latter calmly took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it over without saying a word.
After the other party took it and checked it, and confirmed that there was no problem, their smile became even brighter.
He called over a quick-witted young man from the back, "Dasheng, escort this distinguished guest inside."
Then he took out another sign and handed it to Shu Yu, saying, "Please keep this safe, esteemed guest. We will park the carriage in the stable. When you come out, you can take this sign and a servant will bring the carriage out."
"Okay, thank you." Shu Yu nodded, called out to Da Niu, and then followed the boy named Da Sheng inside.
Perhaps it was the rule of this black market, but Da Sheng never asked about their identities or backgrounds along the way, only occasionally reminding them to watch their step.
They meandered through the bamboo forest and soon stopped at the entrance of a large courtyard.
Da Sheng stopped at the entrance and handed them over to another person to lead them forward.
Just as the big bull was about to get dizzy from spinning around, the man finally stopped and gestured for the two of them to proceed.
As soon as the door opened, a bustling and lively scene rushed in. The inside and outside seemed like two different worlds, one quiet and the other lively, clearly distinct.
The servant smiled and said, "Honorable guest, please feel free to browse. If you see anything suitable, you can register it at the counter. If the price is right, our staff will deliver the item to you. We do not require you to show your face during transactions here to avoid revealing your identity. If you have any questions, you can ask someone dressed like me."
Shu Yu nodded and thanked him, and the servant left, leaving them to see for themselves.
