Chapter 17: Bai Jiao in Disguise in the Black Market
Qi Man's face lit up with joy, and he communicated through his mental power.
“Three three.”
[The sign-in system values have been restored, and you can sign in daily. The items obtained from signing in are at the host's disposal, and the system will bear all consequences. 】
San San’s awakening made Qi Man feel much more at ease.
The ox cart arrived at the county town. Qi Man followed the original owner's memory and came to the post office with ease. She took out the package and threw it into the space.
The streets of the county town are filled with all kinds of small stalls and the shouts of vendors, making it very lively.
Qi Man had a string of candied haws in her left hand and a piece of spicy dried tofu in her right hand, and was enjoying the food very much.
Siha~
Smells so good!
The delicacies made in this era are all handmade and authentic.
Qi Man was wearing a fashionable little dress and had an outstanding appearance, which attracted the attention of passers-by on the street.
But the latter did not take it to heart and instead shuttled between the stalls of various small vendors.
Stinky tofu, dried tofu, stir in maltose, fresh meat wontons, little sugar men…
Qi Man didn't let go of anything that entered her mouth.
As she was walking around, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have come to an extraordinary place.
The atmosphere here is extremely solemn. Everyone wraps themselves tightly and sells things in their baskets.
As soon as I stepped into the black market, a reminder tone of "33" came in my mind.
[In the 1980s, the underground black market was defined as a black market if it was not approved by the government. In the 1980s, in order to make a little money, residents would look for ways to speculate, but this involved certain risks. 】
I have to say, the black market sells a wide variety of goods, including rice and pork... It is even more lively than the market.
When Qi Man was strolling happily, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
Bai Jiao?
Although Bai Jiao deliberately disguised herself by wearing a human skin mask and looking like an old woman, Qi Man still recognized that person as Bai Jiao at a glance.
Thinking back to the story I heard two days ago, this was where Bai Jiao made her first pot of gold.
With the mentality of letting things go, Qi Man was not willing to meddle in other people's business, as long as Bai Jiao was not an eyesore in front of her.
Just as Qi Man was thinking, a loud shout suddenly came from the front.
"Catch that bastard for me!"
When I looked in the direction of the sound, I saw a man as thin as a bean sprout, dressed in black, holding a backpack and running hard. Even though he was tired and out of breath, he didn't dare to stop.
Following behind him were several adult men holding wooden sticks. The leader had a distorted face and was chasing the man closely.
Qi Man silently made way and made way for them.
But who would have thought that the next second, Qi Man's wrist was grabbed by Shi Yunfei.
Qi Man:? ? ?
Qi Man has always been resistant to being touched by strangers, so she subconsciously pushed the person away. She lowered her eyes and saw a layer of goose bumps on her elbows. She felt an inexplicable chill in her heart, and her delicate brows wrinkled slightly.
However, the bean sprouts were thrown like garbage, forming a perfect arc in the air, landing accurately on the ground, rolling dozens of times, and were exactly away from Bai Jiao's stall.
The protagonist instantly changed from a little boy to Qi Man.
Everyone's eyes fell on Qi Man, and they all subconsciously took a step back.
This young comrade looked weak, but unexpectedly he had extraordinary strength. He threw the person away with just a flick of his hand.
Indeed, one cannot judge by appearances.
Because of this farce, Bai Jiao also noticed Qi Man and her expression froze.
Why is Qi Man here?
For some reason, when she saw Qi Man, she actually felt inexplicably guilty, but thinking that she was wearing a human skin mask, even her eagle eyes could not recognize that her prototype was Bai Jiao, let alone Qi Man, who would definitely not be recognized.
Bai Jiao suppressed her panic and kept comforting herself.
She has lived a new life, how could she be scared by a little girl?
Yes, yesterday Bai Jiao was scolded by Qi Man and was given the cold shoulder by her beloved man. She was so angry that she had a high fever that night and died.
When she opened her eyes again, Bai Jiao had already changed her soul.
The soul occupying Bai Jiao's body came from the 22nd century in the future. She was a world-class female drug lord who had been wanted by the police for 28 years and had caused the destruction of tens of thousands of families.
During a capture operation, she died at the hands of the police. When she opened her eyes again, she had become a pampered girl in the 1980s, pampered by her family, and even awakened the space.
In her previous life, she had read a lot of novels in her spare time.
In her opinion, she is the lucky one favored by heaven, the heroine in the novel, who brings a system, starts a business, finds a good husband, and becomes a person who can cover the sky with one hand.
The original owner's death was all due to the girl in front of him. If Qi Man hadn't been so stingy that she refused to lend her even a skirt, how could the original owner have been so heartbroken that she died?
Since she has taken over someone else's body, it is natural for her to avenge the original owner.
Thinking of this, Bai Jiao gradually calmed down. Looking at Shi Yunfei, the man in front of her who looked like a bean sprout, she felt that the man in front of her had the same suffering as herself in her previous life, so she made up her mind to help him get rid of his difficulties.
If possible, you can also train him to be her right-hand man.
At this time, Qi Man was completely unaware of Bai Jiao's thoughts. She consciously made way for the group of men chasing Shi Yunfei and said innocently.
"I don't know him well!"
So, don't get involved.
Those men didn't want to provoke a woman with extraordinary strength like Qi Man. They looked at Qi Man meaningfully and went straight towards Bai Jiao and Shi Yunfei.
Bai Jiao protected Shi Yunfei behind her and said confidently, "How dare you, a few grown men, bully a malnourished child?"
The leading man rubbed his melancholy temples, pointed at Shi Yunfei behind Bai Jiao and said with gritted teeth.
"This brat is a notorious pickpocket in the black market. He has stolen four chickens from me in the past few days. I warned him the first time, but he ran away too quickly the next two times. He was lucky to have escaped. This time, I must teach him a lesson!"
Bai Jiao didn't care: "It's just a few chickens. Why are you making such a fuss about chasing them all over the place? Why are you fussing over a child?"
The man was almost mad at this old woman. What did she mean by "it's just a few chickens?"
He risked his life to do business, but this gossip girl said it so easily.
Qi Man was watching the fun, so she borrowed a stool from a guy nearby and sat down. She reached into her purse, actually taking out a bag of melon seeds from the space.
How can you watch a play without melon seeds?
