Lu Zhiye rubbed his fingers on his trousers a few times, his eyes slightly lowered, making it impossible to tell what he was feeling at the moment.
He silently calculated in his mind that it seemed that Harbin had undergone a major reshuffle, otherwise there would not be any changes in the black market leaders.
He curled his lips towards Wang Da and said, "I'm going to buy some things for my family. Brother Wang, you go shopping first."
Wang Da waved his hand: "No, I have to go back and have a good sleep. I've been running around these past few days."
After saying hello to a few other people, Lu Zhiye walked towards Luo Lin's house.
Looking at the shiny lock on the door, Lu Zhiye knew that Luo Lin still lived here.
He wandered around several black markets again, and almost as soon as he appeared, several people guarding the place became alert.
The man had nothing in his hands and was walking leisurely in the black market, as naturally as he was walking in a shopping mall.
But who doesn't go to the black market secretly? Even when trading, one must keep an eye on all directions and listen carefully.
Some of the smart ones had already walked quickly towards their boss's house, while some of the stupid ones stared at Lu Zhiye with eyes as big as calves.
He was afraid that others didn't know he was being followed!
Lu Zhiye thought that if someone with a red armband came over, he would probably be the first one to be caught!
Whatever you think will come true.
A loud shout came from outside: Dahong is coming!
The people who were still setting up stalls quickly packed up the vegetables, eggs, cotton, etc. in front of them and hurriedly ran to another alley.
Even Lu Zhiye kept sighing: These people in the black market are really good at choosing places, they can sneak out through four or five alleys in a row.
It was not easy for the man with the red armband to run over and catch someone.
I took the opportunity to look back, and wow, this idiot seemed to have nails on the soles of his feet. He didn't know how to run or look away!
But this time he changed his target and stared at the person with the red armband who was shouting "Don't run"!
How could this move be tolerated? The red armband quickly grabbed his arm like an arrow shot from a bow.
The man's eyes were still as big as bells, full of indignation.
Lu Zhiye couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, saying, "Awesome, brother."
However, the next second, the man started laughing with a crooked mouth and eyes.
A little saliva dripped down and landed on the back of the red armband's hand. The man with the red armband felt a black screen in front of his eyes and hated to give up that hand.
He wiped his saliva off the man with a gloomy face, and thought he had done a good job after catching him for a long time. Who knew he was a fool? It was really a speechless incident!
Seeing several people with red armbands chasing towards Lu Zhiye's alley, Lu Zhiye quickly jumped off the wall and ran in the other direction.
Suddenly, there was a "thump" sound of someone falling behind him. The sound of a porcelain basin falling to the ground was very abrupt here.
Lu Zhiye turned his head and saw a skinny dark boy anxiously picking up a pastry wrapped in oil paper on the ground.
The wax paper of some cakes was broken, revealing the green and yellow crumbs inside.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Lu Zhiye kindly reminded: "They are about to catch up, run quickly."
The black boy's eyes were full of tears. He picked up the basin and limped forward.
Lu Zhiye estimated that at his speed, he would probably be the first one to be caught.
Lu Zhiye thought he had no good intentions, but in the black boy, he seemed to see his former self, running away from others' pursuit.
With a heavy sigh, Lu Zhiye took the basin from the black boy's hand, held him and quickly ran to the other side of the alley.
"There are some scattered things here. They must not have gotten far. We'll chase them this way, and you guys go that way."
Noisy voices continued to come from behind. When Lu Zhiye was about to turn into another alley, the black boy said, "This way, my house is the one at the end."
Lu Zhiye ran in the direction he said without any hesitation.
After entering the gate, Lu Zhiye threw the man and the basin into the yard and quickly closed the door.
Less than two minutes later, a voice was heard at the door.
"This is a dead end. Did we go to the wrong place?"
"No way? I saw that boy coming this way."
"Let's go and check out that alley!"
When there was completely no sound, the black boy wiped away his tears and quietly cleaned up his basin.
Lu Zhiye looked at the oil paper bag that fell at his feet, and a sense of discomfort flashed through his heart. He was indeed a little anxious just now.
On the other hand, he discovered that this black boy was not a boy!
After cleaning up the smashed cakes, the black boy said in a low voice: "I can't repay you for saving my life. Take anything you like in the yard."
After hearing her words, Lu Zhiye looked around the courtyard. There weren't many things in it, but they were very neatly arranged.
What surprised him was that there was a rocking chair in the yard, and it looked like it was made of rosewood.
He couldn't help but question the identity of the black boy in front of him.
At this moment, the old woman coughed in the house. The black boy's face changed slightly and he ran into the house quickly.
The violent coughing sounded as if he was going to cough out his heart, liver, spleen and lungs.
The people who heard it couldn't help but frown and feel sorry for it.
"Grandma, woo woo woo."
Lu Zhiye was not that kind to strangers, and it was already a great act of kindness for him to save the black boy's life.
He climbed up the courtyard wall and looked outside. All the alleys were safe.
When he was about to jump off the wall and walk out, the black boy flew over from the house and fell to his knees.
Lu Zhiye quickly dodged.
She kept kowtowing to Lu Zhiye: "Please save my grandma, please, I'll work like a cow or a horse to repay you."
Suddenly, she pulled out a rope from her neck, on which hung a fine jade pendant. She placed her hands on her head and said in a choked voice, "My jade pendant is worth some money. Please give me fifty yuan for it."
Lu Zhiye looked at the jade pendant that was emitting a warm luster in the sun and was shocked. The quality of the jade pendant was as good as the one his grandmother had left for him.
He pushed himself up with both hands and jumped off the wall, then used his arms to slightly exert force to help the black boy up.
Her forehead was already red from the knock, but she seemed unconscious and just looked at Lu Zhiye in front of her with hope in her eyes.
Lu Zhiye counted out fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it over to her, but did not take her jade pendant.
The lame rosewood rocking chair and the fine jade pendant were all facts that Lu Zhiye knew clearly.
The grandfather and grandson were probably in a similar situation to me, but for some reason they still kept a yard and settled down in the city.
Maybe it was because they all felt the same way, or maybe he wanted to accumulate some merit for himself.
Fifty dollars was not enough for him to survive, but he could still starve.
It's good if you can save a life.
Bai Ning looked at the young man who opened the door and walked out, clutching the jade pendant tightly and shedding tears.
She kowtowed three times again in the direction of Lu Zhiye.
