Jiang Jinxiu, who wasn't looking where she was going, followed the man into a dilapidated house.
The two stopped, and Jiang Jinxiu noticed that the man was about 1.8 meters tall and had a full beard.
But for some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity about it, though she couldn't quite place where she had seen it before.
"Hey girl, I just told you to run away, why did you follow me? But you're pretty strong, you actually managed to keep up with me."
The man said, sounding both helpless and surprised.
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Jinxiu finally understood why the man in front of her seemed familiar.
Isn't that Wu Wen, the guy who had dinner with them today?
This person changed his clothes, but didn't change his voice.
However, she was also surprised to encounter Gu Xichen's comrade-in-arms in the black market.
"I'm sorry, this is my first time here, I don't know where to go," Jiang Jinxiu said apologetically.
Wu Wen waved his hand, "Forget it, there's no need to argue with a little girl."
He gestured for Jiang Jinxiu to leave, but she didn't move.
He looked down at her and found that she was staring intently at him, as if she were looking at a piece of meat.
"Hey little girl, I may be handsome, but you don't need to look at me like that."
Jiang Jinxiu rolled her eyes. Why didn't she notice how narcissistic this person was today?
"Are you here at the black market to buy or sell things?" Jiang Jinxiu asked, voicing her doubts.
"Buying things? What's up? Got some good stuff to sell me?" Wu Wen said with a grin.
He never imagined that his disguise had already been exposed.
He just wanted to tease the ugly girl in front of him; he didn't believe she would sell him anything.
Jiang Jinxiu ignored his attitude; she trusted Gu Xichen and believed he wouldn't introduce unreliable people to her.
Even if he appeared on the black market.
"Can you eat a thousand catties of rice?" Considering his identity, Jiang Jinxiu directly stated her purpose.
Wu Wen thought he had misheard and picked at his ear: "What? What did you say? Say it again?"
"Can you eat a thousand kilograms of rice?"
He drives a large truck, and Jiang Jinxiu guessed that he would smuggle goods to other places to sell.
After all, in this day and age, the bold get rich while the timid starve.
"Yes." Wu Wen's playful attitude vanished, replaced by a serious expression, and he answered firmly.
For some reason, he felt that the ugly girl in front of him wouldn't lie to him.
Do you have any samples? Could you show them to me?
Jiang Jinxiu reached into the basket and, using the cloth cover as cover, took out another half jin of rice.
The quantity is small, so it won't easily arouse suspicion.
Wu Wen's eyes lit up when he saw the rice: "Where's the rice? How do we trade?"
"How can I contact you? I can pick up the goods in two days."
Jiang Jinxiu actually knew how to find him, but it was the public way.
She didn't want to reveal her identity to him, after all, there were too many uncertainties.
Wu Wen gave her a wooden plaque.
The wooden sign was carved with the character "梧" (wu), meaning sycamore tree, and surrounded by some patterns she couldn't understand.
It's clear that he's very cautious.
"Two days later, bring this wooden sign to No. 18, Lane 6, Hanlin Street. If I'm not there, just tell the people there."
Jiang Jinxiu took the wooden sign and turned to leave.
On the train, Gu Xichen saw many things that seemed to have increased, and his heart felt full and warm.
He held the package tightly in his arms, as if he were holding his own wife.
Gujia Village.
It had been quite dark for a while, and the third brother and his wife still hadn't returned.
Yang Dongmei suddenly had an idea and said to the cat and dog lying at the door, "Third Brother and Third Brother's wife haven't come back yet, go out and look for them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cat and dog opened the door and went out on their own.
"Mom, Chengzi and Xiao Hei can actually understand what you're saying and even open the door and go out by themselves. They're amazing!" Gu Xilan praised them repeatedly upon seeing this.
Jiang Jinxiu found a secluded spot and took the bicycle out of her spatial storage.
As soon as she arrived at the village entrance, she saw two pairs of bright eyes running towards her.
She found it a little creepy.
Just as I was about to take out the stun gun from my spatial storage, I heard Orange's voice: "Meow meow meow..."
Master, you're back! Your mother-in-law sent me and Xiao Hei to pick you up.
Jiang Jinxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't get off the bike; she kept riding and called for Orange and Blackie to follow.
She hadn't ridden a short distance when she discovered that Orange was actually lying on Blackie's back.
On a whim, she decided to ride a beast and see what it felt like, since it was dark and no one could see her anyway.
"Orange, I want to ride you back." Jiang Jinxiu looked at the cat and dog beside her and smiled mischievously.
orange:"……"
The enlarged orange looked majestic.
Even Little Black looked much smaller next to it.
After Jiang Jinxiu put the bicycle into her spatial storage, she unceremoniously climbed onto its back.
Jiang Jinxiu was both curious and delighted by the furry mount.
And you know what? Orange is really fast. What used to be a journey of more than an hour only took it half an hour.
To avoid being seen by others.
Just as they were about to reach a place with houses, Jiang Jinxiu turned her back into her original form.
After arriving home, Jiang Jinxiu told Yang Dongmei about Gu Xichen's return to the army.
Yang Dongmei complained, "The third brother is really something. He didn't even tell me he was going back to the army. I had already saved some eggs and dry food for him."
Jiang Jinxiu comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, I've prepared everything for him."
Yang Dongmei left her some food, but she just ate a quick bite and went back to her room.
Jiang Jinxiu felt very uncomfortable sleeping at night without someone beside her.
What should she do? The man just left, and she's starting to miss him.
This night was a bit tough.
Jiang Jinxiu finally drifted off to sleep in the early hours of the morning.
She slept until noon.
Yang Dongmei and the others had already finished work and returned home.
Jiang Jinxiu stood at the door, looking dejected and listless, her hair unkempt.
Upon seeing this, Sun Xiaomeng couldn't help but tease, "Oh my, who is this? Is this still our handsome third sister-in-law?"
She even leaned close to Jiang Jinxiu and said with a grin, "Can't you sleep when your third brother isn't home?"
Jiang Jinxiu looked at her with a mournful expression.
She was 200% certain that her second sister-in-law did it on purpose.
They always bring up the very thing that's most sensitive topic.
Gu Xilan came over and hugged Jiang Jinxiu's arm: "Third sister-in-law, I'll stay with you. If you can't sleep in the future, just call me and I'll come and sleep with you."
Her words thoroughly amused everyone present.
Yang Dongmei slapped her on the back of the head: "You brat, go cook."
Gu Xilan looked completely bewildered.
She didn't know what she had said wrong.
However, she still obediently went into the kitchen to cook.
Just then, Little Black returned with a brightly colored pheasant in its mouth.
It bit into the wing, and the pheasant was still struggling.
Orange followed haughtily into the yard.
