Chapter 111 Take him down the mountain to exchange items



Hearing Wang Jianguo calling her by her nickname, Guan Lulu smiled knowingly, and at the same time showed the shyness of a woman.

She knew that he was now a blockhead who had lost his memory, so he just had to listen to her. She should start with small changes and not ask for too much at once.

Every week or so they would accumulate a large amount of game, furs, and herbs.

Now that the money had been accumulated enough, Guan Lulu decided to take Wang Jianguo down the mountain.

One is to exchange these game, furs and herbs for money, and the other is to buy some daily necessities and necessities.

Although they can be self-sufficient in most things in the mountains, such as vegetables and grains, they can just reclaim some wasteland and sow seeds.

However, some daily necessities such as basins, soap, kerosene, salt, etc. had to be bought from the foot of the mountain.

In the past, Guan Lulu carried all these things by herself, because she had been exercising with her father since she was young, so she was stronger than ordinary boys.

But now that Wang Jianguo is here, he is rushing to do these jobs, so Guan Lulu can relax a lot.

Seeing Wang Jianguo filling the backpack, Guan Lulu said, "Just put these in. If it's too heavy, you'll get tired carrying it, and we have a long way to go."

Wang Jianguo: "It's okay. This stuff won't tire me out."

Wang Jianguo put a lot of things on it, and in addition, he carried two baskets on a shoulder pole.

"Can you carry so many things? Don't get too tired and give up halfway." Guan Lulu thought that although she was strong, she definitely couldn't carry so many things.

Wang Jianguo grinned and said, "Don't worry, I will never give up."

When waiting to set off, Wang Jianguo first put on the backpack, and then used a shoulder pole to pick up the two baskets full of things.

It was a rare trip down the mountain, so Wang Jianguo thought it would be best to exchange more money.

Seeing Wang Jianguo pick it up easily, Guan Lulu showed an expression of disbelief.

This guy is really a strong man!

Not only did he lift such a large weight in one go, but he also looked very relaxed.

But on second thought, she remembered that he was a soldier before. Soldiers often have to exercise with weights, so it is not surprising that he is very strong.

However, with his strength, he should be one of the best even in the army.

After walking for an hour or so on this sparsely populated mountain road, Guan Lulu's feet felt a little sore.

Looking at Wang Jianguo, who was carrying a lot of things next to her, still had a calm expression and was breathing normally. Guan Lulu couldn't help but sigh: This is really rare in the world.

"Sit down and have a drink of water and take a rest first, we'll continue our journey later." Guan Lulu came to a big tree nearby, found two clean big blue stones to sit on, and then took out a water bottle from her backpack.

Although Wang Jianguo was not tired, he felt that his sister seemed tired, so he put his things down temporarily, sat next to her and drank some water.

After waiting for a while, Wang Jianguo said, "Sister, let's hurry up so that we can get to the city earlier."

The earlier you get to the city, the sooner you can sell your things.

Guan Lulu smiled and said, "We can't sell these things at the grain purchasing station. We have to sell them on the black market. So it's useless to go too early. It would be bad if we get caught. So make sure we arrive just before dark."

The birds and beasts in the mountains, the fish, shrimps and crabs in the water, all belong to the collective. If they take these game to the grain purchasing station, they will be seeking their own death.

However, it is very easy to sell on the black market. After all, although the supply and marketing cooperatives also sell meat, they require money and tickets. Even if you have money and tickets, you have to follow the supply. Sometimes you have both money and tickets, but the supply and marketing cooperatives may not have them for sale. Even if you have money and tickets, you still cannot buy them.

So these things are selling very well on the black market.

After all, there is no limit on the quantity of things you can buy here. You can buy them even if you only have money. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money or tickets, you can exchange them for suitable things.

Wang Jianguo immediately understood that the things they were carrying could not be discovered by outsiders, so he had to be careful and stay away from people if he met them, especially the group of people in uniform from last time.

"I understand, sister. Then we don't have to walk so fast. We can just walk slowly." Wang Jianguo said.

Guan Lulu frowned her pretty eyebrows and then asked back, "You forgot what I told you yesterday again."

Wang Jianguo quickly remembered and changed his words: "Lulu."

Guan Lulu: "If you call me sister again, I will ignore you. This is your last chance."

After several hours' journey, the two finally arrived at a small hill outside the city. It was only about ten minutes' walk into the city from here.

The sun was close to the top of the mountain and was about to set. The afterglow of the sun fell on the city, shining with golden light, and there was sunset glow on the horizon.

Although it wasn't dark yet, it wouldn't be long before it did. It would be dark in about an hour, and then they could go to the black market.

"Let's sit here and eat something, and then go down after dark." After Guan Lulu said this, she took out the food she had brought with her.

Wang Jianguo also put down his shoulder pole, basket and backpack one by one, and the two of them had dinner together.

Although many people living at the foot of the mountain rarely have the chance to eat meat, for hunters like them, meat is the most abundant thing.

Because of its unique geographical location, good natural environment and suitable climate, many kinds of animals live in this forest. As long as you set the trap the night before and go to the mountain to pick them up the next morning, you will never return empty-handed, and you will always return with a full load.

So they could eat meat every day and their life was pretty good.

After waiting for about an hour, it was already dark. Although it wasn't completely dark yet, there were almost no people on the streets at the foot of the mountain.

After all, the current nightlife is very monotonous, and there are no street lights. It is pitch dark at night. Except for some young couples and those having affairs who like to go out at night, most people like to stay at home.

After all, whether workers or farmers, they are very tired after a day's work and want to have a good rest after dinner.

"Okay, we can go into the city now." Guan Lulu has been going to the city with her father since she was a child, so she knows exactly when is the best time to go into the city and when to stay in the black market without getting caught.

With his sister's order, Wang Jianguo quickly stood up, put on the bamboo basket, picked up the basket and walked towards the city.

After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at the black market.

As soon as she arrived at the black market, someone greeted Guan Lulu.

Obviously, she is a frequent visitor here, so people who often come to the black market to do business basically recognize her.
