Chapter 39: Entering the Puppet City for the First Time and Exploring the Situation
Liu Pingyuan, who was following behind, finally saw Gu Jin's true face and the wild boar meat in front of her under the light of the flashlight. He finally felt relieved.
To be honest, when Jiajie said that his cousin was going to the county's Puppet Market to resell things, he thought the other party was joking.
But they were all from the same village, and he knew that the Gu family had caught a wild boar meat, and he knew that his brother would not lie to him, so he rode his bicycle here in the middle of the night.
Gu Jiajie parked his bicycle and, together with Liu Pingyuan, lifted a large piece of wild boar meat weighing more than 100 kilograms from a wooden board onto the middle beam of the bicycle he was riding.
Gu Jin put the wooden scale and the meat-cutting knife into a cloth bag and handed it to Gu Jiajie.
"There is still stew in the kitchen, come with me and move it out."
“Here it comes!”
Gu Jiajie lowered his voice to hide the excitement in it, and followed Gu Jin to the kitchen.
The braised pig offal is placed in a wooden barrel, and there is a large basin inside, which contains the braised pig head.
The two men brought out the stew and tied it with a rope to the bicycle Liu Pingyuan was riding.
After doing all this, Liu Pingyuan asked with a trembling voice: "Shall we set off now?"
He was so excited. He had wanted to do something like this for a long time and today he finally got the chance. How could he not be excited?
Gu Jin lowered his voice: "Wait a moment, I'll go back to the house."
She walked to the second room on the right, gently pushed the door open, and pressed the light of the flashlight in her hand, letting in just a little light, enough for her to see the child lying on the bed.
Gu Jin walked to the bedside and saw An Mingji sleeping soundly. The child was sleeping soundly with the quilt in his arms.
Seeing this, a gentle look appeared between her eyebrows. She climbed over the other person, got into the bed, and pulled out a flowered cloth bag from under the mattress.
When Gu Jin came out, Gu Jiajie and Liu Pingyuan had already pushed their bicycles outside the door and were waiting for her.
Seeing her coming out, Gu Jiajie said, "Xiao Jin, take my car."
There was a wooden barrel of braised pork tied to the back seat of Liu Pingyuan's car, so Gu Jin couldn't sit there even if he wanted to.
She sat on the back seat of Gu Jiajie's bicycle, holding a flowered bag in her arms.
Gu Jiajie lowered his voice: "Sit tight, let's go!"
Two bicycles quickly left the door of Gu's house.
Qingshan Village is not too far from the county town, about ten kilometers away. It takes two or three hours to walk, and about an hour to get there by bike.
At around eleven o'clock, Gu Jiajie and Liu Pingyuan arrived at the county's Kui City with familiarity.
This is not the peak time, so there are few people in Kui City.
Gu Jin jumped out of the car, took out a cloth from the flowered bag and wrapped her face so that no one could see her true appearance.
He then took out two pieces of dark cloth from the bag and handed them to Gu Jiajie and Liu Pingyuan: "Cover your faces so that no one can recognize you."
"Xiao Jin, you are really thoughtful!"
Gu Jiajie took one of the pieces of cloth and wrapped his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.
Liu Pingyuan looked at Gu Jin, raised his eyebrows, and took the last piece of cloth from her hand.
Gu Jin looked at the remote street in front of him, holding the flowered cloth bag in his hand, and said to the two teenagers behind him: "I'll go for a walk first, you wait here for a while."
"I'll go with you!"
Gu Jiajie was worried about her being alone.
"No, I'll be back soon."
Gu Jin said this as she walked away alone, heading deeper into the street.
About half an hour later, Gu Jiajie started to get anxious when he saw his cousin had not returned yet.
