Chapter 042 is the profiteering

"I picked it up here a few years ago. After I picked it up, I looked around and didn't find anything special." Sun Dong brought Tang Yuan to the hill where he picked up the gun.

"I can't be here for no reason," Tang Yuan looked around, "but you are more familiar with this place than I am. If you can't find the problem, I can't find it either. I'll go see if there are any harder branches. I can cut them and use them as weapons."

Hong Kong was a very chaotic place, and even if she believed that she would not go to a very remote place, she might not be completely safe from danger.

"Then you look for a branch and I'll take a closer look. I never thought there would be anything unusual around here before, so I really didn't look carefully." Sun Dong said, grabbing a tree trunk not far away and climbing up on the stones.

Walking around Tang Garden, in addition to tree branches, I also found some sharp stones.

She had no intention of fighting with anyone, she just needed enough time to escape. Hiding stones and branches on her body would make it harder to be discovered. If she encountered danger, as long as there were not too many people on the other side, she would have time to escape.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she was sitting on a rock to rest, she suddenly heard someone running down from above.

The sound was urgent, and she immediately hid behind a thick tree trunk until she saw Sun Dong's figure when she turned sideways.

"Really?" Sun Dong grabbed the tree trunk he had used to gain leverage when he jumped up. "I found it up there. Let's go take a look together?"

Tang Yuan immediately walked out and climbed up by holding onto the tree trunk and stepping on the stones like her.

This body was generated purely in the game space, and all aspects of its physical condition were very good. She had come up here very easily just now, and now she just needed to go up a little further, which was also not difficult.

After following Sun Dong for more than half an hour, the two arrived at another hilltop.

"There's nothing growing here. I don't usually come here. I just came here because you told me to." Sun Dong stepped forward and pushed aside the heavy dead branches. "Look, there's a hole here. I pushed it open before I went back. I should be able to go down now."

Tang Yuan opened his bag and took out a small piece of candle. He lit it and stepped forward to use the candle to probe the air inside. After stepping firmly on it, he walked forward carefully. The further he went in, the bigger the hole became.

Until I saw boxes of things piled up in the cave.

She immediately blew out the candle and took out her flashlight instead.

Sun Dong also took out a flashlight, and the two beams of light soon illuminated the scene in front of him clearly.

Sun Dong opened one of the boxes and was furious: "These shameless ￥%#@￥%..."

Tang Yuan walked forward and saw the things in the box: "We can't handle these."

She went to open another box and saw guns of all sizes, grenades... box after box. If these things were really used, the nearby villages would not have a good outcome.

As a local, Sun Dong became more and more angry the more he watched.

"I'll take a few small ones and some bullets, and you can go find your captain for the rest," Tang Yuan said, "We can't leave these things here. We have to notify the local troops to take them over."

"Then what did you take..."

"Don't worry, I will hide it well and won't use it unless I have no other choice," Tang Yuan promised. "It won't be discovered by anyone. When you go to notify them, just say that you found it and don't mention me."

As she spoke, she looked down. There was a gravel road below and it wasn't raining outside, so there were no obvious traces of footprints.

Sun Dong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll just say I discovered it by accident."

"Well," Tang Yuan picked out a few guns and a batch of bullets that she could use, took out oil paper from her bag, and wrapped them up one by one. "After I go out later, you walk around here a few more times, and the same outside. I will go back along the same route later, and when you lead people up, you also follow that route. There will be more traces, and my traces will naturally be covered up."

Although it is allowed to carry guns at this time, it does not mean that anyone can carry a gun. It is not good news to let people know that she has a gun on her.

However, she originally had no plans to use it in the Mainland. Although the situation in the Mainland will be more chaotic in the next ten years, at least it is relatively safe in the next few years. Her main concern is still Hong Kong.

After taking the things, she backed away and left: "I'll leave it to you from now on, you have to be careful."

"I may be very busy from now on, I'll ask Sun Feng to bring you eggs."

"OK."

When Tang Yuan went down the mountain and left, Sun Dong sealed the entrance of the cave again, quickened his pace down the mountain, and went directly into the captain's house.

"What are you doing so rashly?" The captain stretched out his cigarette stick to hit him.

"It's an important thing, a really important thing." Sun Dong spoke quickly, sitting in front of him and whispering about today's discovery.

The more he spoke, the captain straightened his back, and finally said angrily: "Those little Japanese are really despicable! Tell them, tell them now, get on your bike, I'll go with you."

"Okay!"

…

After Tang Yuan came down the mountain, she did not go anywhere else but returned to the game space immediately. After putting away the things she brought back, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then she took her lunch box and money and went out to the state-owned hotel.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the state-owned hotel, she saw troops passing by in a hurry. Judging from the direction they were going, it should be the place where the pile of weapons was found.

Such a hurried scene is not common nowadays. Many people around were watching and couldn't help asking curiously: "What happened? Why are you so anxious?"

"I don't know. He looks quite serious."

"Isn't it going to be another war?"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, that's impossible, don't talk nonsense, our lives are finally getting more stable now, we can't fight again."

The news of what the troops were doing had not spread, and even the "powerful" aunties in the boiler room did not know what had happened.

It was not until a few days later that Tang Yuan and Sun Feng met again in the dilapidated house.

"Why didn't you tell me when you were going there that day?" Sun Feng said, "The area at the back was sealed off. No one was allowed in except for those who went in to count and move the goods."

"How is the situation now?"

"Well, a lot of people came, and they moved everything that needed to be moved. They also dug deeper and found a bunch of stuff buried underneath," Sun Feng said with some fear, "They said that if those things were accidentally activated, the consequences would be disastrous."

"It's fine as long as they move away," Tang Yuan said, remembering something. "By the way, you should be more alert these days. Because of this, they may check more places. Hide your chickens and pigs deeper."

"Is there such a thing?" Sun Feng was surprised, and then he realized something. "I was wondering why those people were moving around these days. Come on, I'll give you the eggs. I'll go back and keep watch. Please hide our chickens deeper."

After Tang Yuan counted the eggs and gave him the money, Sun Feng immediately walked out of the shabby house with the basket.

This time, Tang Yuan waited a little longer in the dilapidated house, and did not ask about those things after she left, just assuming that she knew nothing. Just now, Sun Feng did not ask her in detail about the things she took away, and he probably thought that Sun Dong did not tell him.

The fewer people who know about this, the better, and she won't say any more.

She carried the eggs back to the game space, divided them into about fifty eggs, packed them in bags and took them to Hong Kong.

As soon as she went downstairs with the eggs on her back, she met the landlord, who directly stretched out his hand to ask for the rent. He said a lot of things quickly. If Tang Yuan had not heard a lot of Cantonese during this period, I really don’t know if she could understand it.

Of course, her language skills were not very good at that moment, so she just took the money out of her pocket and passed it to him.

The landlord received the money and was finally satisfied. He stretched out his voice and said, "It's better to pay the rent on time every time. This way, it will be better for both of us... It's so boring to keep putting it off."

Tang Yuan smiled and nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, she walked towards the vegetable market carrying a bag of eggs.

Behind me, someone said to the landlord: "You paid the rent so quickly today?"

"She looks much better now, not half dead like before. Maybe she's doing odd jobs to earn some money," another person said. "If she didn't do odd jobs and earn some money, she would starve to death."

"Didn't you almost starve to death a few days ago?"

"Luckily I'm not dead. Why would I die at such a young age? It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death."

…

"The last ten eggs are all yours for $3.50." Tang Yuan bargained with the last customer of the day and finally reached a consensus. He picked up the eggs one by one and put them into the other's basket, and then accepted the $3.50.

After selling the eggs, she carried the empty bag on her back and walked around the market.

This market is huge. In addition to selling vegetables and meat, it also sells cooked food, salty foods, and even clothes, shoes and socks. Most clothes, shoes and socks are priced at a dozen yuan each, and the styles are mainly shirts and jeans. There is no problem with sales, but competition is also fierce.

She paid the rent today and had more than 40 Hong Kong dollars left, so buying a set of clothes was not a problem. However, she still felt reluctant to use the money she earned from buying so many eggs to buy clothes.

Walking out of the market, there is a row of shops outside, ranging from large ones selling gold and silver jewelry to small ones selling stocking parts.

She went to several stores and asked about the prices of a few clothes at random. From the perfunctory replies from the store clerks, she finally understood the prices of these clothes: ordinary styles were around 30 to 50 yuan, mid-range styles were around 70 to 80 yuan, and the more expensive ones ranged from a few hundred to a few thousand yuan.

She didn't go into those stores with particularly exquisite decorations, because she knew the clothes there wouldn't be cheap.

The wage levels in Hong Kong today vary widely, with the most ordinary workers earning from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars, while the minimum wage for white-collar workers in high-rise buildings is at least several thousand dollars, and some earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

The customers of these stores are mainly white-collar workers.

Ordinary workers can go to the market and buy clothes for an average price of a dozen yuan.

Tang Yuan walked to a roadside newspaper stand and picked up the latest entertainment magazine and fashion magazine. When he saw the cover of a book, he bought the fashion magazine that was published half a month ago.

After buying the book, she looked at the photo on the cover and recognized at a glance that the dress was the one she had praised a few days ago.

The same style as celebrities, 580 yuan each.

It was also the piece of clothing that others said could earn the seller a net profit of 560 yuan.

Making 560 yuan from one piece of clothing, and making 1,000 yuan by selling two pieces, that's huge profit!
