Chapter 59 Return without Success



She could only recall some decryption methods from various puzzle games in the 21st century.

Trying everything you can to save the situation, you should try it out randomly.

She pressed the six peach blossoms one by one from top to bottom and from left to right.

No response.

Could it be that the order is wrong? Ancient characters were read from right to left.

She pressed them again in order from right to left.

When the last flower is pressed.

Suddenly there was a 'boom' sound from under the stone slab.

Yan Ning was startled and quickly turned off the flashlight and glanced around.

After a few seconds, the round marble slab in the middle of the yard split into two, separating from the middle to both sides, revealing a stone staircase underneath.

Yan Ning waited for a few minutes to make sure that no one else heard the unusual sound and that there was no movement outside the yard.

Then he turned on the flashlight and shone it into the stone stairs underground.

This stone staircase is four meters long and extends deep underground.

Yan Ning found a stone from under the peach tree and threw it down.

The stone rolled down the stone steps and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

She looked down and saw that there was nothing unusual, then slowly stepped onto the stone steps and walked down slowly.

Walk all the way to the bottom and when you reach the flat ground, the road inside is blocked by a stone door.

This should be a secret door.

Yan Ning looked around but couldn't find the mechanism.

She tried various methods but couldn't open the secret door.

I can only give up temporarily and see if there are other ways later.

She entered the space and left an anchor here.

Then he left the space and returned to the ground along the stone stairs.

Looking at this entrance, you also have to close the mechanism on the ground.

She tried pressing the six flowers again in the same order, and the stone slabs merged into a circle again, returning to their original shape.

After Yan Ning locked all the doors in the yard, he walked to a dead corner at the very edge of the back room and entered the space.

She will rest in the space tonight and return to the big willow tree tomorrow.

The next morning.

Yan Ning slept until after eight o'clock before getting up.

She guessed that everyone in the family had gone to work, so she left the space.

She took out a pound of tangerines, a pound of bananas, a pound of apples, a bottle of canned yellow peaches, a bottle of canned pineapples, a bottle of canned braised pork, and a bottle of canned luncheon meat from the space.

Put everything on the table in the main room.

Yan Yuqi has been busy outside these days, so she doesn't have to worry that he will suddenly come back and see these fruits.

After putting the things away, Yan Ning saw that it was still early and there was nothing to do at home, so he simply rode his bike to Qinghe County for a stroll.

She hasn't left any anchor points in Qinghe County yet, just in case she needs them someday!

Yan Ning pushed the only bicycle in the house out of the yard, locked the door, and rode away.

When passing by the gate of Secretary Yan's house, the gate suddenly opened and Yan Sumei walked out carrying a cloth bag.

Yan Sumei paused when she saw Yan Ning riding her bicycle and greeted her: "Sister Ning, are you going out?"

Yan Ning stopped his bicycle and said, "Yes, I'm going to the county. Sister Su Mei, where are you going?"

Yan Sumei smiled calmly and said, "My boyfriend and I have an appointment to go to the county to watch a movie."

These days, girls in the village get married and have children at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Yan Ning didn't find it strange, but was a little curious if it had become popular for gay men and women to watch movies together these days?

Yan Ning: "Sister Sumei, I'll take you to the county on my bike. That way you don't have to walk to the commune to catch the bus."

Yan Sumei didn't hesitate and agreed readily, "Thank you, Sister Ning."

As she spoke, she took out a few White Rabbit candies from her bag and handed them to Yan Ning, "Sister, I'll treat you to some candy. My boyfriend bought them for me."

Yan Ning took the candy and put it in his bag, motioning her to get in the car. "Sister Sumei, where is your future brother-in-law from?"

Yan Sumei sat sideways on the back of the bicycle, holding the seat. "He is a worker at the county mine. His family lives in the mine's staff quarters."

Yan Ning waited for her to sit down, then rode his bicycle out of the village.

After arriving at the county, Yan Ning asked her where to get off and then sent her to the entrance of the cinema.

Yan Sumei got out of the car and thanked Yan Ning: "Sister Ning, thank you for today."

Yan Ning: "It's a small matter, just on the way. Sister Su Mei, I'm leaving first."

Yan Ning rode his bicycle out of the cinema and came to the state-owned hotel.

Of course she wasn't here to eat.

It's only a little after nine o'clock now. It's past breakfast time, but it's still early for lunch.

She suddenly remembered that the wild boar she killed last time in the mountain behind the big willow tree was still in her space.

It was difficult for her to take this thing home openly, nor was there any way for her to give it to Yan Yuqi to sell on the black market.

No matter who asked how the wild boar came about, she couldn't come up with a perfect excuse.

She might as well go to the state-owned restaurant and ask if they would accept it. If not, she would keep it and ask the factory in the city later.

Yan Ning parked his bicycle in front of the state-owned hotel, locked it, and walked in.

There was no one in the hotel at this time, only a middle-aged woman sitting by the window knitting a sweater.

The older sister looked up at the footsteps and said, "We're not selling anything at this time. Come back at noon if you want to eat!"

Yan Ning walked over to her and tried to get close to her. He grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candies from his bag and stuffed them into her hand.

"Sister, I'm not here to eat. I want to ask you for some news."

The elder sister looked at the six or seven White Rabbit milk candies in her hand, then looked at Yan Ning, and then put the candies in her pocket.

"What do you want to ask?"

Yan Ning lowered his voice and asked, "I want to ask if your state-owned restaurant accepts wild boar meat?"

The eldest sister opened her eyes wide, glanced at the door, and then lowered her voice, "How much do you weigh?"

Yan Ning: "A whole pig, only the head is missing. It weighs almost 400 kilograms. It's still fresh. It was just killed this morning."

"So many? Our state-owned restaurant has a dedicated supply channel and doesn't accept items from other places."

The eldest sister paused for a moment, then continued:

"But I know a place that will take these things, and the price is right. I can take you there to have a look."

The place she was talking about was the purchasing team of the Qinghe County Mine Canteen.

Nowadays, grain and meat are purchased on a per capita basis, and even the big factories purchase food ingredients in limited quantities.

But there are so many people in the factory, and the meat they bought is not enough for each person to have a spoonful.

The workers in the factory have had complaints about the canteen for a long time.

The Minister of Logistics was very worried about this.

So the head of the logistics department asked the purchasing team to buy some ingredients through other channels, such as the black market.

There are also individuals like Yan Ning who come to sell it.

Her brother is the leader of the purchasing team in the logistics department. If she can help to close this deal, her brother will also be able to gain a lot of benefits in the factory.
