Chapter 8



He casually threw the few items he had chosen into the cloth bag and left the black market.

I found a deserted place, took off my scarf, mask and straw hat, wiped the sweat off my head, quickly walked through the streets, and quickly changed my coat at a corner.

He was not inconspicuous in the crowd in his white shirt and black pants, so he went into a famous Western-style candy store that night.

This shop has been open for more than 20 years. It has changed from a private business to a state-owned one. The food here is pretty good. I come here occasionally before nightfall to buy some food.

I took out my money and candy coupons and ordered two pieces of milk candy, three pieces of assorted fruit candy, two cream cake rolls, four pieces of flower cake, and two red bean paste rolls.

Because the prices were too high, everything except candies was sold individually, and many people were reluctant to buy them.

Even if I bought something, I only bought one or two dollars. I paid for it and bought a bunch of things in a cloth bag and took it away, which attracted a lot of attention. I found a place where no one was around and put the things in the cloth bag into the space.

Walking slowly towards home, on both sides of the road, there were red words written on the walls: "First give birth, then live."

Lin Wan felt that life was good on the busy streets. After walking around, Lin Wan returned home at around 4:00. When he entered the house, he found that all the Zhou family members had returned except for Zhou's father and Zhou Laoer who had not yet finished get off work.

When Mrs. Zhou saw Lin Wanwan, she thought of the fabric, candy, egg cake and peach cake she had bought for Lin Wanwan last time for more than twenty yuan, and she felt angry.

"What's it like for a girl to go out and hang out all day without staying at home?"

Zhou Rongrong was obediently wiping the dust with a rag. She was very happy that her grandmother scolded Lin Wan. When she looked up, she was a little surprised to see Lin Wan with her hair cut neatly. It seemed that something was different.

Zhou's mother heard the sound and came out from the kitchen. She saw Lin Wan coming back and said, "Xiao Wan is back. Why did you get your hair cut? You must be hungry. Dinner will be ready soon."

Lin Wan sneered in his heart, "Wait until the house is emptied, and then we'll see how you guys can still show off." He rolled his eyes and went upstairs, ignoring the people downstairs who were thinking about something.

"Look at her, look at her, who is she showing this stern face to? How come I, as her grandmother, can't say anything to her?" Zhang Jingshu pointed at Lin Wan's back and complained angrily to Grandpa Zhou.

Mother Zhou cursed her mother-in-law, the teammate who was holding the team back, and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Zhou Rongrong tried to get out of Zhang Jingshu's sight, thinking about what excuse she could find to find Lin Wan and take the opportunity to exchange the black jade beads.

Mr. Zhou sighed and ignored his wife's words and went back into the house.

Lin Wan returned to the room, lowered the curtains a little, and took out several things that he had collected from the living room.

The wood carving was the only thing that Lin Wan did not put directly into the space. The reason was that the fog was too thick and Lin Wan was afraid that the space would be locked again.

A jet-black wood carving, a bracelet with black jade beads, a ring covered with pulp, and two Yuan coins.

The black jade bead bracelet was completely clean. Lin Wan untied the string and picked out three beads that were most similar to her own beads. She strung them together and put them away, and wore one around her neck.

Lin Wan picked up the blackest wood carving with the heaviest fog, took out a handkerchief and rubbed it vigorously, only to find that the inside was also black and nothing could be seen.

The wood carving of the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity is not exquisitely carved. It looks rough, but it has a natural and smooth feeling.

But the fog was so thick that it seemed to cover the entire wood sculpture.

I raised the wood carving with both hands and shook it, but there was no sound. I tried to twist the head of the wood carving, but there was no sign of looseness.

Why do you want to carve a 祿? There are quite a few of these wood carvings.

Taking the ring and looking at it, Lin Wan wiped off the dirt on it, and the ring turned into a milky white color. It was a Tianyu ring with some small patterns on it. The fog on this ring was much less than that on the wood carving.

He fiddled with the wooden sculpture that looked like a small pillow in his hand, turned it over twice, and then his fingers found a place where a mechanism snapped into place with a "click".

Lin Wan stared at the dark wood carving in her hand for a moment, then took a closer look and saw a crack in the middle.

Holding both sides and pulling them apart, even though Lin Wan had seen several boxes of jewelry and piles of gold bars before, he was still stunned by the three bright sapphires embedded in the dark grooves.

Even without sunlight, the three sapphires seem to have their own starlight and still sparkle with the smell of money.

When the gemstone was taken out, something interesting happened: the gemstone itself had a thick mist. The mist on the wood carving was still very thick and powerful.

Putting the gem back into the card slot and fastening the wood carving, Lin Wan wanted to put the wood carving back into the space. It would be a shame to leave such a valuable thing outside and throw it away.

Just as I was about to put it away, there was a knock on the door, "Xiao Wan, can I come in?"

Thinking that the space would absorb the mist and upgrade the lock, Lin Wan opened the drawer, put all the things in it, and went to open the door.

When he walked to the door and opened it, he saw Zhou Rongrong looking at him cautiously.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Lin Wanwan blocked the door and didn't want Zhou Rongrong to enter her room.

"Xiao Wan, can I go in and talk?" Zhou Rongrong looked pitiful, looking at Lin Wan with tears in her eyes.

"No, if you have something to say, just tell me. Don't make it seem like I'm bullying you." Lin Wanwan didn't want to see Zhou Rongrong pretending to be weak in front of him.

"Xiao Wan, don't be like this. I came here to apologize to you. We have been classmates for two years. I don't want you to misunderstand me. I was wrong about what happened this morning. This is a gift from me to you. I hope you can forgive me."

Zhou Rongrong handed a silver necklace in her hand to Lin Wan.

Lin Wan looked at the thin silver necklace Zhou Rongrong was holding and took it directly.

"Okay, I forgive you for your unreasonable behavior this morning. I want to rest for a while."

Lin Wan took the necklace and locked Zhou Rongrong outside.

Zhou Rongrong's expression was a little stiff. Was this still Lin Wan whom she had known for three years? Shouldn't Lin Wan be on good terms with her and not accept her things?

Where is the easy-going Lin 냭 Wan? Why does Lin 냭 Wan seem different today? She is unusually cold and even a little aggressive.

Mother Zhou saw Zhou Rongrong passing by and said, "Rongrong, come and take a look at the cooking pot. I'll leave the rest to you."

Chen Suyun took off her apron, dusted off her body, went upstairs, took out the twill fabric and the peach cake she bought today, and walked towards Lin Wan's room.

Lin Wanwan had just sat down when she heard a knock on the door. At that moment, she had never hated the sound of knocking on the door so much.

"Wanwan, my mother." Mother Zhou's gentle voice sounded from the door.

Lin Wanwan narrowed his eyes slightly, he was really a coward, he was still thinking about his own kidney.
