Speaking of enemy spies, Tian Yuzhu came up with an idea.
No one would believe her words alone, but what if she spread them?
She couldn't help but turn around and walk up to the two women.
They hadn't agreed on the price yet, and when they saw someone coming over, they froze in place and pretended to chat.
"Auntie, I want your rabbit!"
Tian Yuzhu suddenly spoke.
She reached into her bag and found two bills. She took them out and saw that they were two fifty-cent bills, a whole dollar. One dollar could buy three pounds of fine grain flour.
Seeing her generosity, the woman of course quickly gave her the rabbit.
"Oh, sister, you scared me. I thought it was the security team arresting someone!"
"Don't worry, they've been busy holding a commendation meeting these past two days, so the security team doesn't have time to arrest anyone. Also, I heard that the enemy spies in the mountains have already fled to Xinyi Town. You'd better pay attention to your safety and go home quickly. Don't hang around on the streets."
"What, the enemy spies are coming down the mountain?" The expression of the other woman who had coarse grain noodles hidden in her clothes changed drastically.
Oh my god, it’s a good thing I didn’t change it. Compared to eating meat, it would be better to just eat my fill. With enemy spies in the city, who would dare to come out to buy vegetables?
I heard that the enemy spies nowadays are fighting desperately and don't care about their lives, and they will not show mercy to others.
Tian Yuzhu nodded. "It's reliable information, but the higher-ups don't allow it to be publicized for fear of causing panic among the people. I'm just being kind. If you have relatives or friends, please inform them quickly and be very careful."
"Okay, thank you, big sister."
Xinyi Town is not small, but the neighbors all know each other. They are either relatives or family members. There is no one they don’t know.
The two women also felt that there was no need to harm others.
Besides, she was just giving a friendly reminder and didn't ask for anything in return, so it must be true. Go back and tell your relatives and friends!
After the two of them left in a hurry, Tian Yuzhu pulled her scarf.
Only her eyes were exposed, and with the wind and snow falling heavily, they probably wouldn't recognize her if they saw her again.
Besides, that one dollar can be considered as a good deed for Lu Juanjuan.
Tian Yuzhu continued walking forward and could see people walking in the snow in groups of three or four on the small old street.
Who is so crazy as to take a walk in the snow? It's just to exchange some urgently needed things.
"Girl, do you want firecrackers?"
A man passed by and whispered to him, "The firecrackers at the supply and marketing cooperative are 30 cents a string, and you need a ticket. I don't need a ticket, I can give you 30 cents. Chinese New Year is coming soon, don't you want to buy some for your kids?"
The other party wasn't sure whether she had a baby or not, but since he had asked, he couldn't help but try to sell her a few more words.
Tian Yuzhu stopped and looked at the man.
He was also worried that the truth would be revealed, so he covered his face tightly, leaving only his eyes exposed.
"You are so brave to make firecrackers privately." Tian Yuzhu stared at him.
The other party suddenly panicked: "Don't forget it!"
Turn around and leave.
The control of gunpowder in this era was very strict, and it was impossible for private individuals to own it.
I just tested him by saying that he made firecrackers without permission, but he didn't deny it.
Tian Yuzhu looked around and saw that no one was noticing her, so she quickened her pace and followed the man.
The man walked a few steps and found someone following him. He turned around and saw it was her. He couldn't help but quicken his pace, but he still couldn't get rid of her after crossing half the street.
Thinking that he was a grown man and had nothing to be afraid of, he turned a corner, intending to knock the other person down at the corner.
As a result, his fist was easily caught by Tian Yuzhu's backhand, and then he was kicked in the knee.
The man felt pain and fell into the snow before he could react.
Tian Yuzhu grabbed the back of his neck and pulled off the scarf covering his face: "Tell me the truth, where did the gunpowder come from?"
The man looked young, probably in his twenties at most. Judging from the way his hair was trimmed and the material of his clothes, he didn't look like an ordinary gangster.
Why does this person look familiar?
By the way, I saw him during the day. It turns out that he was the salesman who sold candied haws to Kong Xingbai in the public sales cooperative.
Well, this is public property being sold privately, and I got caught red-handed.
Now the other party is so scared that his face has turned pale. It is illegal for him to be caught like this.
"I... I won't dare to do it again, never again!" In desperation, he could only beg for mercy.
"What's your name?" Tian Yuzhu patted his face coldly. "It's okay if you don't tell the truth. At worst, I can go to the public marketing agency and ask your other colleagues."
The young man was so exhausted he almost wanted to die. He had no idea the woman knew he was a salesperson, so he confessed honestly, "My name is Duan Xiaowei. I wanted to buy something nice for my elderly parents for the New Year, so I came up with this ridiculous idea. Comrade, please let me go. There won't be a next time. I won't dare to do it again."
"I can let you go... but you have to do something for me."
Hearing that the other party actually agreed to let him go, Duan Xiaowei was so grateful that he wanted to turn around to see what this female comrade who could easily knock him down and negotiate terms with him looked like.
However, he was only halfway turned when he was ordered: "Turn away. If you see me, you will never see the dawn of tomorrow."
Duan Xiaowei was so scared that he quickly lay down in the snow.
He doesn't dare to look at it, and now he won't look at it even if I ask him to.
"Sister, if you have any instructions, just tell me."
"Something big is going to happen in town tomorrow, especially at Kunpeng Primary School. You have to make some noise when the commendation ceremony starts to keep those people away from the school."
Tian Yuzhu pondered for a moment and said, "Find a few reliable people and set off firecrackers in different places at the same time to create panic. If anyone finds out, just say you are celebrating a commendation meeting."
"Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss, but if you don't complete this task, expect to go to jail. You know how many years you will be sentenced for privately reselling public goods."
"Sister, don't worry, I...I promise to complete the task."
Duan Xiaowei didn't dare to say no.
Just think about going to jail in the prime of his youth, and let him make as much noise as he wants.
But...how did she know that something big was going to happen in town tomorrow?
He originally wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to open his mouth. At this moment, he felt that there seemed to be no movement behind him.
Duan Xiaowei listened carefully for a while, called out "sister" twice but got no response, then he slowly raised his face from the snow.
I looked around, but my sister was nowhere to be seen.
But there was a fat rabbit lying at his feet. Maybe this was the reward she meant for not treating him unfairly!
If we were to exchange this fat rabbit for a few strings of firecrackers, Duan Xiaowei would be the one who got the better deal!
He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he quickly held the rabbit in his arms and got up and left.
After Tian Yuzhu returned to the guesthouse room, she took off her cotton jacket and gave it to Lu Juanjuan, then put a scarf around her.
Then he poured some hot water into the rinsing bowl, blew on it, drank two mouthfuls, and finally held one in his mouth...
Puff, all sprayed onto Lu Juanjuan's face.
