Su Lu was right. Jiang Jiaqi really didn't dare to take the shortcut. The shortcut was in a small grove of trees next to the main road. Although it was close, it wasn't that close. It was a path that the villagers had taken in the summer because it was too hot. So unless Jiang Jiaqi was stupid, she wouldn't take the shortcut.
To Su Lu's surprise, as soon as he left the village, Jiang Jiaqi looked around and, after not seeing anyone, slipped behind a big tree and entered her spatial dimension. When she came out again, she had not only changed her clothes but also brought out an electric scooter.
Su Lu's lips twitched slightly as he turned to look at Qin Xiaoxiao.
"This really is someone from your hometown."
Qin Xiaoxiao also saw the electric scooter that Jiang Jiaqi was pushing, nodded, and whispered, "Maybe, but I can't be sure. My era was already the end of the world. Judging from her stupid appearance, she may not be from the same world as me."
People who have experienced the apocalypse are not as wary as she is. She only told him her secret because she met Su Lu and had martial arts skills.
Qin Xiaoxiao put away the bicycle and released the electric scooter. Although Su Lu had seen it before, he had never ridden it, so he frowned and stared at the electric scooter.
Seeing that Su Lu didn't move, Qin Xiaoxiao knew he couldn't ride.
Qin Xiaoxiao whispered, "It's like riding a bicycle, except you don't need to pedal. Just twist the handlebars and the bike moves automatically."
By this time, Jiang Jiaqi had already ridden her bicycle far away. Seeing this, Su Lu told Qin Xiaoxiao to step back, and he would try riding it first, and then take Qin Xiaoxiao with him once he was familiar with it.
Qin Xiaoxiao was also afraid that Su Lu might not be used to it and would fall again, so she stepped back and gave him the space to familiarize himself with it.
It has to be said that most men are better at handling vehicles than women. In just two or three minutes, Su Lu was already able to master the essentials of riding an electric bike.
Su Lu patted the back seat, "Get in, your husband will take you for a spin." (Spinning: a reduplicated word used when adults and children talk, not a typo)
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and sat on the back seat. Su Lu moved his hand, and the electric scooter moved forward naturally, and at a fairly fast speed.
Neither Jiang Jiaqi nor Su Lu had their headlights on. Riding in the dark required extra caution, especially since the roads were all dirt tracks with potholes, making it even more difficult to ride fast.
After finally arriving in the county town, half an hour had passed. Jiang Jiaqi went straight to the dilapidated temple. Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao put away their electric bikes and watched from a distance. After ten minutes, Jiang Jiaqi came out of the temple again, took out her electric bike, and rode towards the county town.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu were dumbfounded and exchanged a glance.
"You're leaving already?"
"Is she really that careless? Isn't she afraid someone will steal it?"
Qin Xiaoxiao blinked, then had an idea. "Honey, why don't you go check what kind of goods she's put in there?"
Su Lu looked at Qin Xiaoxiao, "You're thinking of... hijacking this shipment?"
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I don't know if she's the female lead yet. She hasn't attacked me. I can't hurt her before I find out the truth."
Although she came from the apocalypse and didn't care much about human life, she still had her bottom line. Jiang Jiaqi had never harmed her, so she couldn't harm her.
Robbing this batch of goods is easy, but Qin Xiaoxiao is well aware of the consequences for Jiang Jiaqi. Those people in the black market are not easy to deal with. If the money is paid and the goods are lost, do you think they will let it go? They will definitely search the whole city for Jiang Jiaqi.
Although Jiang Jiaqi has dressed up in a different way, what if people see through her true nature?
What kind of extraordinary people aren't there in this world? What if you happen to meet one?
Su Lu asked in a low voice, "If you're not going to rob the goods, what are you asking me to go over there to see?"
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Of course, we need to be clear about what's going on, to see if she really came from the same world as me."
Also, see what good stuff she has. If she doesn't have bad intentions towards me, I might be able to trade some good things with her in the future, like sanitary napkins or food.
If she tries to harm me, or if she thinks I'm an eyesore, then don't blame me for being impolite. Every time she tries something, I'll sabotage it by taking her goods and getting the black market to confront her. That would be considered indirect action.
If she were the female lead, sigh! Aside from Mu Jin, every female lead currently harbors ill intentions towards me, so I guess I'll just have to hand her over!
Hand it over to the state and let them have a headache!
At the same time, she has also made a contribution to the country. If she were from the same world as Jiang Jiaqi, her space might contain mobile phones, computers, and other electrical appliances from that era. If she could find them, the country could be the first to benefit from them and earn some foreign exchange.
Su Lu nodded upon hearing this, "You're right. No matter what, we need to be aware of the situation. You wait here, I'll go take a look."
Qin Xiaoxiao grabbed him, "Be careful, she rides fast and will be back soon. If you can't find her, come back quickly."
Su Lu nodded, glanced at his watch, and said, "There's still some time. I'll hurry up, so don't move around."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded and obediently hid behind the tree without moving.
Su Lu quickly entered the dilapidated temple and came out in less than five minutes.
He ran back to Qin Xiaoxiao's side and hid there. Looking at the dilapidated temple, Su Lu whispered, "There is rice and flour, quite a lot. There are hundreds of bags of each, each weighing fifty catties. They are all placed in the side hall. There are also hundreds of bottles of skin care products. I can't figure out what they are. They are not sold on the market."
There are also milk powder and baby bottles; ten boxes of milk powder and ten baby bottles.
Ten boxes of canned meat, ten boxes of canned fruit, and yellow oil in white plastic buckets—it's probably cooking oil, but I don't know what it was used to fry things.
Qin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. "It should be soybean oil. In our time, ordinary families all used soybean oil, and it was the most commonly sold product in markets and supermarkets."
Jiang Jiaqi would never sell sunflower seed oil, peanut oil, or salad oil. If it were her, she would definitely sell genetically modified soybean oil first, then non-GMO soybean oil, and keep the peanut oil and other oils for herself.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu stopped talking. It was almost time, and chatting any longer would make them more noticeable.
Qin Xiaoxiao took out two black mink coats from her spatial storage, handing one to Su Lu and keeping one for herself. They were much warmer to wear.
The two waited for about ten minutes before Jiang Jiaqi returned first.
She went into the dilapidated temple and came out shortly after, standing outside waiting.
About five minutes later, a group of people came out of the county town. There were four or five men walking in front, and people pushing a cart behind them.
The visitor walked up to Jiang Jiaqi, and the two exchanged a few words. Jiang Jiaqi pointed to the dilapidated temple behind her, but didn't move, letting the visitor go in by himself.
After waiting for about half an hour, the people in the black market started loading goods onto the cart, and the person in the lead gave Jiang Jiaqi some money.
After receiving the money, Jiang Jiaqi left before the black market workers finished loading the truck.
Seeing this, Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao quickly retreated into the grove, only coming out after Jiang Jiaqi had passed by.
