Seeing An Jingzhi's distressed expression, several people asked him, "What did you bring, Boss?"
What could An Jingzhi bring? There were no extra weapons at home, nor any ancestral wooden sticks.
"I have a smart brain." The original owner was also a gangster, but he didn't have much strength, just the strength of an ordinary person.
"Puff." Chen Yi watched these people introducing their weapons like clowns, and finally couldn't help laughing when he heard An Jingzhi's words.
Seeing that several people's eyes were on her, Chen Yi apologized a little embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
An Jingzhi didn't let Shen Yi bring anything with her, only some food. But according to his thinking, if the other party dared to go abroad with them, he would definitely bring weapons for self-defense.
He looked at her expectantly, "It's okay, it's okay. Do you have any weapons with you?"
Chen Yi sheepishly took out a kitchen knife from his backpack, which gleamed coldly in the moonlight.
"Hiss." Several men looked at the girl holding a kitchen knife with the blade facing them, and they were so scared that they took two steps back.
An Jingzhi was happy. See, there are still reliable people.
Can that small dagger the size of a palm be as useful as this big kitchen knife?
Seeing that several people seemed to be frightened, Chen Yi quickly put the kitchen knife back.
At least so far, her impression of these people is actually quite good. These people seem to be a little different from the image of those uneducated hooligans who do all kinds of evil as described by the neighbors.
She even felt that these people seemed a little stupid.
But she wouldn't say that.
An Jingzhi pointed at Chen Yi and praised him with admiration, "Look, this is a useful weapon. Are those bricks, sticks, and daggers you brought as useful as a big kitchen knife?"
Huang Xuekun stiffened his neck and said stubbornly, "This kitchen knife is so short, how can it be as effective as my stick?"
An Jingzhi didn't even like to talk about him, and what about the family heirloom stick? He hadn't broken it for all these years, just because which father would really kill his own son?
The relationship between the few of them seemed to have become closer as they chatted and laughed. Chen Yi didn't seem to be as afraid of them as before.
After eating and drinking, they started on their journey again.
By 3 a.m., we had crossed the border.
After walking for another two hours, An Jingzhi asked them to stop to eat and drink water.
After simply closing his eyes and resting for an hour, he walked towards the town.
Chen Yi always fell behind alone, and An Jingzhi felt unsafe, so he let her walk in the middle of the team.
Chen Yi followed the arrangements silently.
By 7 a.m., they began to see people.
This is a small border town. The people in the town are very thin and seem to be malnourished.
“Okay, it depends on your performance later.” An Jingzhi said to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi nodded, "Okay."
Although she has also done business selling melon seeds and chestnuts, it is still different from cross-border transactions.
Chen Yi was very nervous, and An Jingzhi comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'll say one sentence and you'll say one sentence, and then just translate what he says to me."
Chen Yi nodded slightly and followed An Jingzhi.
The appearance of several unfamiliar faces in this small town quickly attracted other people's attention, but these people just glanced at them quickly and didn't pay much attention.
He didn't let Lu Lian carry the potatoes alone, but put them in the backpacks of several people, with each person carrying some, so that they wouldn't be too conspicuous.
An Jingzhi first walked around the street. He saw a long line of people in front of a store. The person at the front of the line held the things he bought in his arms and hurried from home to see. It looked like food like bread.
After looking for a while, he found a target to sell to, a middle-aged white man. When it was his turn in the queue, the bread had been sold out. He cursed for a long time and could only leave dejectedly.
Since they stepped into this inhabited town, Lu Lian and the other two have become timid and have been following An Jingzhi closely, not daring to say much.
"Follow me, I've found the customer." After saying that, An Jingzhi took the lead and followed the middle-aged white man.
In fact, there were many sales targets, but he also wanted to prevent others from taking advantage of his wealth, so he chose a man who looked like he had a family.
He was holding a doll in his hand, which seemed to be bought for his daughter.
When the white man walked into the alley, he felt that someone was following him. He stopped and did not go any deeper into the alley.
He turned around and yelled at them, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
An Jingzhi had learned Russian in other worlds, so he could understand it, but the original owner couldn't.
He looked at Chen Yi and asked him to translate.
Chen Yi was a little nervous and stuttered, "He asked us who we were and why we were following him."
An Jingzhi replied in Chinese, "Sir, I see you didn't buy any bread just now. I have some food here that I'd like to exchange with you. I wonder if you'd be willing to do so."
Chen Yi translated An Jingzhi's words back accordingly.
The wariness on the white man's face turned to confusion.
"You have food? What is it?" His tone had become much calmer, no longer as aggressive as before.
After Chen Yi translated, An Jingzhi said, “We have potatoes.”
While Chen Yi was translating, he took out a fist-sized potato from his backpack.
The white man looked at the potato in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he walked quickly forward, wanting to take what he was holding.
An Jingzhi retracted his hand.
"It's just potatoes. I don't think I need to check them. I wonder if you'd like to trade, sir?"
The white man nodded eagerly and asked, "How many potatoes do you have? I'll trade them all with you. I have money! I have a lot of money!"
An Jingzhi shook his head. Rubles were not worth much. "We don't want money, but you can exchange it with something else. If it's paper money, it can only be US dollars."
The US dollar is banned here and white men don't have any.
There was a hint of anxiety on his face, as if he didn't want to let go of this hard-earned food.
"Come home with me. I can trade anything I have! As long as you're willing to give me potatoes!"
After listening to Chen Yi's translation, An Jingzhi and the others turned around to discuss.
"This man looks like an ordinary person. The four of us shouldn't be in any trouble. He only has rubles on him, and we don't need them. We can only go to his house and see if he has anything we can trade with him."
"When we go to trade later, keep your eyes open. If anything seems amiss, act immediately."
Lu Lian and the others listened to An Jingzhi's instructions nervously and excitedly.
