After agreeing on a time with a few brothers and An Jingzhi giving clear instructions at home, they reunited on the street they had taken. After waiting for a while, and seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Lu Lian asked An Jingzhi, "What are you doing now, Boss? Aren't we leaving?"
"Didn't you notice that we are still missing someone? How are you going to communicate with people when we leave now? Will you rely on sign language?" An Jingzhi said.
"It's not impossible." Huang Xuekun continued.
An Jingzhi: “…”
He couldn't find any words to refute.
"Let's wait a little longer. We still need someone to translate for us, otherwise we can only do small things and won't make big money." An Jingzhi said.
He had already informed Chen Yi before coming, telling him their specific meeting time and place, but he was not sure whether he could come.
He had an electronic watch on his hand, which the original owner had gotten by begging for money at home. He looked at the time and saw that there were still three minutes left.
Lu Lian and his companions all carried some dry food for themselves. An Jingzhi did not ask how they explained the details to their families. They probably did not dare to tell the truth, as they did not dare to do so.
They used the few dollars to buy a bag of potatoes, which was now placed at Lu Lian's feet, and he was responsible for carrying it.
At that time, the purchasing power of two yuan was still good, and it was not cost-effective to buy other things. After thinking about it, An Jingzhi decided to buy potatoes, which were cheap, abundant and filling.
"Boss, did you really tell Chen Yi?" Wan Xinming's eyes widened in disbelief.
Huang Xuekun and Lu Lian also looked at him with surprise.
An Jingzhi admitted calmly, "I did."
The three of them had complicated expressions. Chen Yi was good-looking and had a spacious bungalow at home. Even without brothers and sisters to help her, she was from a relatively well-off family. There was no one of her age around here who didn't like her.
But Shen Yi is notoriously cold and only thinks about studying and making money. Her mother wants to find a husband for her, but Shen Yi still has her grandmother, who will support her and insist that Shen Yi go to college.
Although An Jingzhi said he wanted to be friends with the other party, the brothers didn't believe it at all. Would being friends mean asking around for information about the other person? Would being friends mean pulling the other person into an alley to talk?
They guessed that the other party might not agree to be in a relationship, and An Jingzhi felt embarrassed so he told a lie to deceive them.
An Jingzhi was speechless. These people were so stupid that their thoughts were revealed on their faces.
He didn't care. There was only one minute left and he wouldn't wait even a minute longer.
Chen Yi was also someone the original owner had destroyed, and he sincerely wanted to help the other person.
I looked at my watch and saw that time had passed. It was already six in the afternoon.
It would be almost morning by the time they crossed the border and reached the other side. After a short rest, they could go find someone to trade with. He had calculated the time well.
Since the other party is not coming, he can only look for other opportunities.
"Let's go." An Jingzhi said and took the lead.
Lu Lian and the other two hurriedly picked up the luggage at their feet and followed.
"Brother Jing, Boss, wait for me!"
Suddenly, An Jingzhi, who was walking in front, stopped. In front of him stood a panting girl. She seemed to have run over and was now looking at them breathlessly.
"Sorry, I, I'm late." Chen Yi pursed her lips. She had a schoolbag on her back, which seemed to contain her own food.
Chen Yi really didn't want to come at first, but she needed the money too much. After thinking about it, she put a kitchen knife in her schoolbag and hurried to buy a few cakes and ran over.
Before leaving, she said she was going to stay at a classmate's house for a few days to tutor her classmate.
Shen's mother and grandmother Shen both knew that she had good grades. After asking a few questions and finding out that she was her classmate and a girl, they let her go.
She bought the cake on the way here.
An Jingzhi stood in front of her with a smile, "It's okay, we were just about to leave. Now that everyone is here, let's go."
Lu Lian and the other two were walking in front, and from time to time they would look back at Chen Yi who was following behind them. That small body and face were full of determination. He followed behind them step by step without once complaining of being tired. They really couldn't understand why Chen Yi would agree to follow them to the north to make money?
Looking at An Jingzhi's face again, Lu Lian thought, could it be that Chen Yi likes the pretty boy type?
An Jingzhi had a compass in his hand. They didn't have a clear map, but he knew the general direction.
It was already midnight. He glanced at Chen Yi who was walking silently behind him, and casually found a safe place to rest.
"Okay, are you all tired? Sit down and eat something, and take a rest before you go." After saying this, An Jingzhi took the lead and sat on a clean stone.
Several people took out the dry food they had prepared and ate it while swallowing it with water.
Everyone brought things like cakes and steamed buns, but An Jingzhi's steamed buns were white steamed buns.
The steamed buns brought by others were mixed with some grains and looked yellow. Chen Yi brought flatbreads, which were very hard, but very filling and cheap.
It seemed that they were a little uncomfortable with the presence of an extra girl in the team. Even Lu Lian, who was the most talkative, ate in silence, not saying a word from beginning to end.
An Jingzhi wanted to ease the silence and make Chen Yi feel more comfortable. He took the initiative to ask Lu Lian, "What weapons did you bring? The people in the north are very fierce. Ordinary things can't scare them."
When Lu Lian heard An Jingzhi's words, he thought of the scene where he asked his mother if she had any extra kitchen knives, and then was interrogated by the whole family. Bitterness was written all over his face.
"Boss, you don't know. I just asked my mom if she had any extra kitchen knives, and they thought I was going to go out and chop people up. Luckily, I insisted that I wanted to ask if there were any unused kitchen knives to sell. If they knew we were going north, they would never let me go."
