Xiao Hao wiped his face and said with a silly grin, "Sister, I'm not tired."
Zuo Ling: "..."
Nut him, "Even Li Tian noticed that his older brother and sister were carrying things, how come you have no eyes at all?"
Xiao Hao didn't realize the problem. He lifted the bag and said, "It's not heavy. Are you taking it home? I'll carry it."
Pei Nansheng: "..."
Zuo Ling: "..."
The brother and sister exchanged glances. Fortunately, there was still time to throw Xiao Hao into a pack of wolves to toughen him up, lest he remain so naive and ignorant of the ways of the world.
Hearing that Zuo Ling had good news for them, He Xiao and Guo Qi ran faster than rabbits.
"Hey, hey, hey, where have you been? What good stuff have you brought? Share it with me when we meet."
He Xiao immediately started rummaging through his bag, acting as if he were one of the guests.
Zuo Ling's lips twitched. "Go ahead and flip through it. Does it look familiar? I took it all from your house!"
He Xiao... he doesn't look familiar, but he seems very approachable.
Because of the scarcity of resources, everything he saw felt familiar and comforting.
Cooking oil, salt, sugar, compressed biscuits, beans... they're all great things!!
Guo Qi appeared much more reserved, but the longing in his eyes was no less than that in He Xiao's.
"Where did you come from? Did you go rob someone? Why didn't you call us? At least we could have kept watch for you."
Zuo Ling pointed down the cliff:
"About 200 meters down from here, there's a cave in the cliff face. Someone hid something in the cave. We just discovered it while surveying the terrain."
Zuo Ling can lie without batting an eye now; believe it or not, it's up to you.
He pushed aside He Xiao's hand that was pressing down on the bundle, saying, "If you want it, take it yourself. These are mine."
He Xiao and Guo Qi stared wide-eyed. Good heavens, what did they just hear? Alibaba's treasure cave?
His breathing quickened. "A lot of stuff? What kind of stuff is there?"
"Is this all that you brought up?"
"There are quite a few, more than twenty boxes of weapons, cloth, clothing, tents, tools... basically, everything you can use."
He Xiao yelled and was about to hug Zuo Ling when Pei Nansheng grabbed him by the collar and pulled him away.
Zuo Ling put on the face of a common woman from the marketplace: "We found the stuff, and we were thinking of giving it to them when it was brought back."
Guo Qi rubbed his hands excitedly, "Of course, of course, that's for sure."
See? This is what it means to follow the right person!
Unexpected windfalls are possible.
Whether it's He Xiao or Guo Qi, their departure from the Chinese village is actually a struggle with themselves.
Neither of them were willing to submit to others, and they had suffered unfair treatment in the Chinese village, so they harbored a deep resentment.
People fight for a breath of air, and Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, but as for how much they expect for the future, they really don't.
When they left the Chinese village, their mood was as gloomy as could be; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them stray dogs.
But as leaders, they cannot reveal their gloomy thoughts to others.
Little did they expect that on their very second day there, Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling would bring them such wonderful news.
He Xiao laughed and kicked Li Tian, "Hurry up and call all the uncles, grandpas, aunts and grandmas over, and tell them we've struck it rich."
Li Tian staggered and ran into the distance, shouting, "I'm rich! I'm rich!"
Pei Nansheng looked at He Xiao with pity, thinking to himself, "If you knew you were making your own money, you'd be so angry you wouldn't know what to do with all that blood in your body."
