Old Fang led Bu Ling out of the train station.
I found a tricycle, got on, and told them my destination.
On the way, Buling maintained her domineering old woman persona: "Boss, you better watch your step later. If you mess up my fortune, I'll skin you alive!"
Old Fang stammered, "Mom, can we really get rich?"
"Of course!" The old woman breathed heavily, her tone full of greed: "You haven't seen your aunt, she used to be so poor that she had to pawn her pants, but now she has meat to eat every meal."
Old Fang said longingly, "That's great, I wish I could have meat every meal."
"Listen to your mother, you'll get what you deserve." The old woman said smugly.
The driver of the tricycle in front of them scoffed when he heard the mother and daughter's conversation, thinking, "Another daydreamer."
If it were so easy to make money here, why would he be doing manual labor here?
A moment later, I heard the mother and daughter muttering again.
"When you see those foreign devils, be fierce, understand?" the old woman instructed.
The honest and simple-minded son said, "Mom, I support you."
The old lady was very satisfied and patted her son on the shoulder: "After we finish this job, we'll live a life of luxury, and I can even find you a fat wife to have two little rascals with you."
Old Fang mumbled, "I'll listen to Mom!"
"Gagaga~" The old lady laughed in a mesmerizing way.
Along the way, the driver heard the old lady constantly bragging, daydreaming, and making grand promises to her son. He rolled his eyes at her from the front.
After dropping the mother and daughter off, the driver took the money and quickly ran away. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control his gaze if he didn't leave soon.
Upon arriving at their destination, Lao Fang led Bu Ling through a maze of turns, confusing Bu Ling completely before they finally reached their destination.
Old Fang knocked on the door a few times.
The door opened with a soft creak, and through the crack appeared Captain Xu's familiar face.
Captain Xu looked the two of them up and down a few times before opening the door: "Come in."
Bu Ling and Lao Fang entered the house and glanced around. They realized that they had arrived quite early. There were only four people scattered around the house, making a total of six including the two of them.
She sat down next to Huang Yuming and greeted her, "Sister Huang."
Huang Yuming smiled and handed her a glass of warm water. "Was the journey smooth?"
Bling took the water and drank it all in one gulp. There was no way around it; even bragging required some effort: "It went quite smoothly."
"That's good." Huang Yuming looked relieved.
This drew Bu Ling's attention: "What's wrong? Sister Huang, is something not going well for you?"
Huang Yuming nodded: "Captain Xu spotted a few suspicious people and it took him quite a bit of effort to shake them off after getting out of the car."
Bling gripped the teacup tightly. "What's going on?"
Captain Xu quickly reassured him, "It's alright, we've shaken them off."
Bling hummed in agreement, indicating that she understood, but her expression did not soften much.
She knew how dangerous this mission was without anyone having to tell her.
After waiting a while longer, the team members arrived one after another. Only after the last two team members arrived did Team Leader Xu breathe a sigh of relief.
After a short rest, Team Leader Xu began assigning tasks.
"Old Fang, Monkey, Fat Fish, Wolf Green, the four of you will team up with Comrade Bu Ling, and the rest of you will team up with Comrade Xiao Huang and me."
"receive."
"Let's rest for a bit, we'll set off tomorrow."
"yes!"
Due to limited space, two female comrades, Bu Ling and Huang Yuming, shared a room, while the rest of the people shared another room.
Inside the room, Bling stared at the dark ceiling, unable to fall asleep.
"Comrade Xiao Bu, are you scared?"
Bling nodded: "A little." Then he shook his head: "But more than that, I'm worried."
Huang Yuming took her hand: "Don't be afraid, Captain Xu and the others will protect us."
"Hmm." Bu Ling nodded. "Sister Huang, what do we need to do tomorrow?"
“You don’t need to do anything,” Huang Yuming said. “Just like everyone else, buy some fabrics and gems.”
Huang Yuming reached into his spatial storage and took out an apple: "Have an apple, it'll keep you safe."
Bu Ling took it, "Sister Huang, you're quite superstitious, aren't you?"
"There's no way around it, you can't help but be superstitious!"
"That's true!"
People with special experiences like them are bound to be a little superstitious.
The two of them each held an apple and slowly ate it.
......
The next day, before dawn, Bu Ling and his group were all packed and ready to set off.
Bu Ling continued to follow Lao Fang, playing the roles of a mother and son, while the rest played their fellow villagers.
Because their destination was near the border, no tricycles were willing to do business there, so they had to walk.
Along the way, Buling saw many people just like them.
In small groups, they nodded to each other warily yet tacitly, then maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far as they continued on their way.
"Mom, there are so many people." Old Fang still didn't forget his persona.
The old woman, Buling, glared at her and said, "I can see it!"
She glanced warily at the surrounding queue, then ordered, "Boss, let's hurry up, or they'll have taken all the good stuff."
"But Mother, you..."
"Smack!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!"
"Okay!"
Then, this group quickened their pace, rushing forward almost at a jog.
What can the people around do?
They all quickened their pace without prior arrangement, each trying to outrun the other.
Seeing this, the old woman's eyes showed displeasure, but she didn't dare say anything more, only urging him to hurry up...
The group of five walked faster and faster, until they were jogging, then running...
Finally, the old woman couldn't run anymore, so her son had to carry her on his back.
