Chapter 13: Treasure Hunt at Night (2/2)



"Be sure to stay safe and take care of yourself."

"I understand. You should take care of yourselves too."

"Um."

After Xu Nuannuan left, Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun leaned on the windowsill and looked outside for a long time. Even though they could no longer see their daughter, they still stood there for a long time.

Next, Xu Nuannuan is going to the woods in the northern suburbs to trade with the black market boss.

She first found a place to enter the space, put on her makeup, and put on a wig.

I looked at the time and found that there were still more than 20 minutes before the transaction with the other party. I didn't wait any longer and went out of the space to the transaction location.

She had been here for only two or three minutes when she heard two very bright beams of light from the distance, like the headlights of a car. Soon she heard the sound of a car engine, and then a small truck parked on the side of the road.

The car door opened and the black market boss and the driver jumped out together.

The black market boss held a flashlight and saw Xu Nuannuan: "Little brother, I got the goods you wanted. Let's check them out first."

"good."

Xu Nuannuan got on the car with him. There were about a dozen bulging bags of grain piled on the truck bed, as well as a small bag of cotton and a roll of cotton cloth. Xu Nuannuan also had a flashlight and checked the bags of grain one by one. The seeds inside were all what she needed, and the dryness and moisture content were acceptable. The black market boss and the driver unloaded the goods from the car together.

After unloading, it needs to be weighed.

To make a deal without any problems, Xu Nuannuan had to check the weight of the grain. Before she could even bring up the idea of weighing the grain and cotton, the driver had already taken a large wooden scale from the car. This scale could weigh up to 300 kilograms, and could weigh either 100 kilograms or 200 kilograms.

The black market boss and the driver weighed the food together, and Xu Nuannuan was responsible for reading the numbers.

After weighing the grain, it's time to settle the bill.

Xu Nuannuan had already calculated the cost. Black market seed prices were double those at the seed market. Wheat seeds were 0.40 yuan per jin (2,500 jin), which meant 1,000 yuan for 2,500 jin. Other seeds were used in smaller quantities but were more expensive. Rice seeds were 3.20 yuan per jin (300 jin), which meant 960 yuan for 300 jin. Corn seeds were half the size of rice seeds, so 500 jin would cost 800 yuan. Cotton was 2.20 yuan per jin (300 jin), which meant 66 yuan for 30 jin. Cotton cloth was 2.40 yuan per meter (30 feet = 10 meters), which meant 24 yuan for 30 jin.

All the items together should cost a total of 2,850 yuan. On top of that, I had already paid a 50 yuan deposit to the black market boss, so I only needed to pay another 2,800 yuan.

Xu Nuannuan gave them the money and they drove away.

They didn't care how Xu Nuannuan was going to transport the seeds in the middle of the night. They were only responsible for taking the things out and selling them. As for how the buyer would transport the things afterwards, it was entirely up to the buyer and had nothing to do with them.

Xu Nuannuan put all the goods back into the space only after she saw them walk away and could no longer hear the sound of the car engine.

She drank some spiritual spring water to refresh herself, and her next stop was to dig for her ancestral treasures.

She came to the ruins of a collapsed building in the western suburbs of Taipei, where she wanted to dig for treasure and where her family had lived before.

After the movement began, they all moved to the city. His father had all the houses here demolished. Now the ruins were overgrown with weeds and covered with a few pieces of white cloth and white paper money. They looked not only desolate, but also a little scary and eerie.

Because it is said that after they moved away, this place started to be haunted. At night, some people even saw ghosts in white clothes floating around. During the day, you can really see white cloth and paper money. Therefore, usually, no matter it is day or night, very few people dare to approach here.

But she knew that it was all her father's fault.

They had to move away from here at the beginning, and the treasures in the cellar could not be taken away at all, so they could only use special methods to "protect" them.

She walked to the bedroom where her parents used to live, and after determining the exact location, she pulled away the broken bricks and found a wooden stake underneath. Under the stake was the cellar where things were hidden.

She took out a shovel from the space and started digging around the wooden stake. Digging is a physical job. After a while, she was sweating all over. She drank some spiritual spring water, rested for a while and continued digging.

About an hour later, she dug all the soil around the wooden stake and took it out, revealing a stone slab underneath. When she lifted the stone slab, the entrance to the cave appeared.
