After the two got off the boat, Village Chief Xu told Shu Jiaying the location of Wu Laosan's dry goods shop, and then handed two cents to Shu Jiaying.
"Jiaying, I'm going to the government office to handle some official documents and I don't know when I'll be back. After you sell your eggs, you can go for a walk in town. If you're hungry, buy two steamed buns. You can also use the remaining money to buy some other snacks."
Although she knew it was not good to take other people's money like this, Shu Jiaying was really penniless at the time, so she had no choice but to shamelessly hold the money given to her by Village Chief Xu in her hand.
"Uncle Xu, consider this money as a loan from you. Thank you!"
"What are you talking about, little girl? Asking you, a young girl, to come to my house to take care of my mother is actually putting you at a disadvantage."
"Uncle Xu, I know that bringing Jiaying to your house is just a temporary solution. Jiaying doesn't feel wronged. On the contrary, Jiaying is very grateful for everything Uncle Xu has done for me. It is precisely because of these few days of freedom that I finally have time to think about life. Thank you..."
“…”
Village Chief Xu did not understand the meaning of Shu Jiaying's words, but after estimating the time based on the position of the sun in the sky, he realized that he had no time to stay any longer.
After saying goodbye to Shu Jiaying in a hurry, Village Chief Xu rushed towards the government office.
Shu Jiaying carried a basket of eggs and walked towards Wu Laosan's dry goods store.
Following the route indicated by Village Chief Xu, Shu Jiaying passed through two small alleys and arrived at a large market.
Looking at the market gate lined with vendors selling fruits and vegetables, Shu Jiaying couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She had watched quite a few costume dramas, but in those dramas, no matter what the vendors sold, they would set up their stalls in an orderly manner along the street. But the vendors she saw before her actually blocked the entrance and exit of the market?
If there is a fire or other emergency, these people will definitely cry.
Although she thought so, Shu Jiaying still had to go into the market to find Wu Laosan's grocery store.
Carefully protecting the eggs in the basket, Shu Jiaying was about to move among the vendors to find a way out. However, when she was caught off guard, a powerful force pushed her back from behind.
Under the influence of the penetrating force, Shu Jiaying fell to the ground, and the egg in her arms was crushed to pieces.
"Oh...my God!"
Shu Jiaying stood up quickly and turned her head to scold the blind person who pushed her, but she didn't expect that the ordinary vendor who was blocking the market suddenly pulled out a sharp knife from under his stall.
Then the vendors started a life-and-death struggle with a group of men in black who came from nowhere. Unfortunately, Shu Jiaying was caught in the fight, unable to move forward or backward.
And every time when the swords of both sides were about to hit her, Shu Jiaying would wave her hands and explain to others.
"Don't chop me, I'm just selling eggs at the market..."
Fortunately, those who were engaged in group killings were not ruthless killers. With Shu Jiaying's explanation, she was able to save her life.
But danger always exists among this group of people. Just when Shu Jiaying found a way to escape, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her back, and then a large area of her clothes was wet.
Turning her head, Shu Jiaying discovered that a man in black opposite her had thrown away the knife in panic, his eyes still staring at her blankly.
