It turns out that hard work pays off, and of course people in the black market have a lot of connections.
After visiting a black market, he walked out of the alley with Xiao Shitou holding two small bags of food. He handed a pack of "Hua Yu" brand cigarettes directly to a young man who was "guarding the gate".
"Brother, can I ask you something?"
The young man was a little stunned when he suddenly saw the two people wearing masks and hats. He has been here for several years, but he has never seen anyone bringing children to the black market. However, this also proves that there is no problem with their identities, otherwise who would be willing to let their children take risks.
Just looking at the generous woman in front of him, he could tell from the barely visible eye-catching phoenix eyes that this was definitely a beautiful girl, so he didn't hesitate and directly accepted the cigarette.
"Tell me, as long as I know it and it doesn't violate the rules of our black market, I can tell you."
The implication is that I won't betray the rules here. I felt a little amused. You're thinking too much...
"Don't worry, I just heard there's an alley here called Lotus Alley. It's quite famous. I wonder where it is?"
"Hmm? Are you sure it's Lotus Alley? Who told you that? They don't want to harm you, do they?"
The young man also changed color when he heard it, but not as exaggerated as the people outside. His expression just looked a little solemn.
He could imagine that the woman before him was definitely quite beautiful. Once she entered that "wolf's den," there was probably no chance of her coming out alive. Wouldn't that be such a pity? Especially looking at the cute "little tail" following behind, how could she survive without her mother?
So the man felt a little compassion and reminded Chu Xi.
"It's not far away. It's about three miles west on the main road ahead. You're almost out of the city. It's a little off the beaten path. There's a fallen stone tablet at the entrance of the alley. It used to have a beautiful lotus carved on it, but it was destroyed during the 'Destruction of the Four Olds' movement."
"Don't worry, I have a distant relative there. I'll just go over during the day to check on the place..."
"It's better not to go if you can. It's not peaceful there. A lot of hutong urchins and street urchins gather there..."
The young man didn't say much, that was all he wanted to say. He just hoped that no more trouble would happen.
Chu Xi waved her hand and left with the bouncing little stone.
After returning to the guesthouse, Chu Xi quickly put away the various snacks she had bought. She didn't dare give her children so many snacks, as they would not only be difficult to digest and cause bad teeth, but would also easily lead to bad habits.
After making a simple dinner, the two of them finished eating with laughter. Chu Xi then brought Little Stone into the space and put him in the yard to play with Little Gray for a while, just as a way to exercise and help digest the food.
After half an hour, seeing that Little Stone, who had been playing all day, was beginning to feel sleepy, Chu Xi quickly settled Little Stone in the children's room. Chu Xi then had the opportunity to go out and "play", and she was almost impatient.
After leaving the space and looking at the already dim sky outside the window, Chu Xi opened his mental power and soon felt the rumored "Lotus Lane". It turned out that this was the main street in the city and the only way to connect the two villages. Therefore, the flow of people was still acceptable during the day, but it was unusually quiet at night.
Chu Xi quickly came to a bicycle repair shop near the alley. Three people inside were repairing their bicycles and chatting.
"I heard that Boss Jiang was taken to the Public Security Bureau, and he's back just two days later?"
"Need I hear about that? I saw Boss Jiang today. He looked so awesome. Ugh!"
This mechanic is also a man who hates evil.
"Shh, keep your voice down! You can't say anything out of turn! If someone hears you, you'll be in big trouble. You're still stubborn. Didn't you ruin yourself in the past because of your foul mouth..."
"Alas, if I were a few decades younger, I would never be able to watch those people act so arrogantly! I'm getting old..."
"They're just a bunch of bastards. One of my former female classmates was bullied by them. It's a pity that I'm outnumbered and can't beat them. Otherwise, I'd definitely give them a hard time!"
The last person to speak was a young man. It was a pity that he was too bookish and weak. He was probably a scholar who couldn't shoulder the responsibility...
At this moment, three young men walked out of the alley. They were dressed very casually, but they had to act like gangsters, as if not treating them as gangsters would mean disrespecting them...
"Old man Li, how's business today? Do you want to hire a technician to help? My skills are top-notch, and I don't ask for much salary. Just give me half of your shop's income..."
As he said this, he picked up the teacup at the door of the shop and took a sip without any politeness.
The young man who was waiting for his car to be repaired was frightened. Fortunately, judging from their expressions, he didn't hear what he said! He even patted his chest thinking about it.
"You want to eat shit? I have to hand over half to the street and give you half. I'm going to starve!"
Master Li, the mechanic, never indulges them. He is a lonely man and the street office arranged this job of mechanic for him after he returned from military service. At worst, he can die. What's so scary about that?
"Ha ha……"
The three hooligans laughed heartily. Teasing the old man in the repair shop was one of their hobbies...
"Hey? There's actually a beauty outside. Why is she here so late? Is she here to see me, your brother? Come on, come home with me. I have a lot of good things and fun things..."
