Watching my father sit at the table eating and drinking as if nothing had happened.
Yang Zheng was very happy.
It must be said that the exotic fruit of this small world is truly amazing.
With just one rare fruit, my father was freed from the pain of cancer.
As for whether my father's cancer has been completely cured or whether he has undergone a complete transformation.
It is not yet certain and remains to be seen.
Originally, he was worried about how to explain if his father had doubts after being cured by the strange fruit.
Now it seems that it is no longer needed at all.
The parents had already attributed all the credit to the folk remedy given by their second aunt.
I believe that the pain of cancer disappeared after I took some folk remedies.
However, this also brought Yang Zheng a new worry: his father would definitely continue to take the folk remedy, but he didn't know what kind of medicine was in it or whether it would be harmful to the human body.
Thinking of this, Yang Zheng secretly decided that he would write down the folk remedy later and take it outside to find someone to check it to see if it was harmful. If it was not harmful, he would leave it alone for the time being.
In a situation like this, it would be very abnormal for you to stop your father from taking the folk remedy.
Now that my father's problem is solved, it's time to get down to business.
We must find a way to deal with the enemies on the other side of the small world.
Otherwise, he absolutely could not tolerate not being able to enter the small world to make money.
Now that we've come back, we definitely need to prepare some "good stuff".
Back in his hometown, he's quite well-connected.
He remembered an acquaintance in town named Shazhu Wen, who was a few years older than him. This guy used to fish in the river when he had nothing to do, and he had a lot of torpedoes at home.
It's like a plastic grenade, basically a giant firecracker. You light it, throw it into the water, and it makes a huge bang, stunning a large number of fish at the bottom.
These things used to be sold everywhere.
Back then, no one cared about electrofishing or blasting fish, but now that Qiongshan is developing tourism, these things are no longer allowed.
If you want to buy a torpedo now, you need someone you know to introduce you; otherwise, you simply can't buy one, and no one will dare to sell it to you.
As for the other items, you should be able to buy them by visiting a few different places after you arrive in Linjiang.
However, this most powerful torpedo can only be bought in my hometown.
Before returning to Linjiang, I must bring some back with me.
Originally, Yang Zheng had considered just staying in his hometown.
But upon closer inspection, I realized it simply wouldn't work.
First of all, he can't freely enter the small world when he's at home. Every time he enters the small world, he disappears for at least a few hours. If this goes on for too long, it will definitely arouse his parents' suspicion.
Putting aside everything else, what if he opened a portal in his room upstairs and then disappeared?
When it was time for his mother to eat, she went upstairs to call him for dinner, only to find that he had disappeared... How can this be explained?
More importantly, if you're a young person who doesn't go out to work and just stays at home all the time, what will people think of you?
Especially if you get something from a small world and try to sell it? If someone sees it, they'll become even more suspicious.
The same familiar faces come and go at home, which leads to a lot of gossip. If this goes on for too long, it might cause trouble.
It's much more convenient when you're outside. There are many transient people around, and if you feel you're attracting attention, you can simply move to another place overnight.
After careful consideration, he decided to continue hiding the truth and lie to his parents, saying he was working outside. He could even tell a lie and say he had changed to a high-paying job.
The problem of debt.
Yang Zheng originally planned to pay off all his debts this time he returned.
But upon closer reflection, I felt something was amiss.
It's hard for your parents not to be suspicious and worried when you suddenly have so much money; explaining it would be too much trouble.
We'll have to wait until next time we come back to talk about it.
He needs to lay the groundwork and make plans during this period.
Every day, I would go to the lottery station in town, buy a few lottery tickets, and make sure my relatives and parents knew about it.
That way, after you leave and have some time to spare, telling your parents that you won the lottery won't seem abrupt and will be more convincing.
Once you have a detailed plan in mind, everything becomes much easier.
In the morning, I had some porridge with my father at home. Then he got some traditional remedies from my mother, wrote them down carefully, and rode his motorcycle to town to look them up.
I visited an elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor on the street. He was over eighty years old, but he looked youthful with white hair and a ruddy complexion. He was also very kind.
Yang Zheng was acquainted with the old Chinese medicine doctor because his fourth daughter was Yang Zheng's elementary school homeroom teacher, and the family had run a private Chinese medicine pharmacy for many years.
I showed the traditional Chinese medicine doctor the folk remedy I had, and finally got a result.
It's just a very ordinary tonic and calming prescription, nothing special. Anyone who is weak or elderly can take it. Of course, healthy people won't have any major problems taking it either. That's all...
After getting the information, Yang Zheng was completely relieved.
As long as this folk remedy doesn't cause any major problems, it's fine.
It was almost 11 a.m. when we came out of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor's clinic.
"We need to hurry up and find Shazhuwen to buy the torpedoes!"
Yang Zheng rode his motorcycle through the intersection and soon saw the pig butcher in front of a shoe store.
Sha Zhuwen stood behind the chopping board, wiping the sharp meat cleaver in his hand.
There wasn't much meat left on the cutting board, just a small piece of hind leg meat and a large, fat pig's hind leg.
It's so hot now, I guess he'll pack up and go home soon.
Seeing this, Yang Zheng immediately parked his car on the side of the road, walked quickly to the cutting board, and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Wen, the meat is selling pretty fast today."
The short, stout butcher, Wen, looked up at him and instantly became enthusiastic, "Oh? It's you! When did you get back?"
Yang Zheng smiled and handed him a cigarette. "Yesterday morning, by the way, do you still have any spare ribs?"
"there is none left!"
Sha Zhu Wen casually picked up the pig leg and, relying on their acquaintance, forcefully promoted it, saying, "Why eat ribs? Get a pig's foot and stew it with cuttlefish. Isn't it more delicious than ribs?"
"It's almost noon now, and there's hardly any meat left. Why don't you just buy the pig's trotters? I'll give you a discount."
Yang Zheng nodded. "Okay, singe the hair off for me."
While they were burning the pig bristles, the two chatted for a while.
At this moment, Yang Zheng stopped talking and leaned closer, asking in a low voice, "Brother Wen, do you still have any torpedoes at home?"
Slaughtering pig Wen paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "What do you need torpedoes for? Fishing with explosives isn't allowed here anymore, I haven't done it in ages."
Yang Zheng casually lied, "I'll go bomb somewhere else, somewhere not many people, mainly because I'm bored at home..."
After saying that, she quietly slipped him a pack of good cigarettes, "Brother Wen, can you do me a favor?"
After declining several times, the butcher asked in a low voice, "How many do you want?"
Yang Zheng laughed and asked, "How many do you have?"
Slaughtering Pig Wen's brow twitched. "Damn it, what are you trying to do? Don't use this to mess around!"
Seeing his hesitation, Yang Zheng quickly said, "I'm just using it to fry fish. Several people want it, so I'm buying a little extra to share."
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "I still have three unopened boxes at home, ten in a box. When I bought them, each torpedo cost five yuan. If I give them to you, it's still the same price."
Ten in one box, thirty in three boxes, totaling one hundred and fifty yuan.
Without saying a word, Yang Zheng paid for the pig's feet and torpedo in one go, and even paid an extra twenty yuan.
Upon seeing this, Sha Zhu Wen immediately put away the piece of meat on the cutting board and took Yang Zheng directly to his house to get the torpedo.
At noon, I received a call from my mother saying that the food was ready and that I should come home for lunch.
On the way back, Yang Zheng found three more boxes of torpedoes in the back of his car.
I just checked at Shazhuwen's house. These torpedoes are all well preserved and not damp. They look like small black plastic grenades.
It may not look very refined, but it's incredibly powerful.
If you wrap it in another layer of iron and glass shards, once you enter the miniature world, the armed forces of those miniature people who are only a few centimeters tall will be like giant bombs weighing hundreds of pounds.
Yang Zheng had heard that there was an old shop in the county that specialized in fireworks and firecrackers, and he originally planned to go and take a look in the afternoon.
But thinking about it carefully, what if I buy these things but can't take them with me?
Moreover, carrying a large number of fireworks and firecrackers makes one's behavior suspicious, and it would also prevent one from getting on a vehicle and passing through security.
With the three boxes of torpedoes he bought, he'll probably only be able to get to Linjiang by private car or carpool.
Rent a new place here? Are you kidding me!
Leaving aside the various expenses, troubles, and suspicious aspects...
His golden snakeskin, a top-grade defensive treasure, is still hidden on the second floor of his rented house in Xiahua Village, Linjiang. If his father is alright, he wants to return to Linjiang as soon as possible, fearing that if he stays away for too long, the treasure will be discovered.
