269: Looking for that girl in the black market late at night
He has excellent eyesight, especially after being immersed in war, which has trained him to have strong observation skills and enable him to see things that others cannot easily notice.
The fleeting light could not escape his sharp eyes.
It seems that this area is not as quiet as it seems.
He also remembered that there seemed to be a free market by the river, which was quite famous locally. It was said that many people were secretly trading here, and the market could not be stopped despite repeated bans.
Moreover, the local tyrants involved in the resale form gangs and have considerable power, and are in collusion with local officials, so most people dare not interfere and turn a blind eye.
In short, there are always dark corners in this world where the sun does not shine, especially in remote frontiers like the Great Northern Wilderness where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
When Zhou Ziheng thought of this, he could no longer remain calm.
Although this possibility is very small, who knows, maybe that foolish and foolish person will go to this market?
He hurriedly pushed his bicycle and secretly followed the blurry moving figures. He groped his way to the rumored black market, which was hidden in an open space deep in the woods. He could see many people holding lanterns or shining flashlights.
In the flickering light and shadow, you can see many people trading and doing business here, it is as lively as a market.
This prosperous scene hidden in the dark jungle really opened Zhou Ziheng's eyes.
As he pushed the cart inside, he suddenly thought, would he meet someone he knew here?
In the entire Mishan County, about half of the land and a quarter of the population belong to their Mishan Farm.
As the general manager of Mishan Farm, perhaps many people know him.
What if there are a few unscrupulous people on the farm, or if they take out the supplies they have stored and resell them, and he is recognized?
By then, rumors will be flying around, saying that Director Zhou appeared on the black market. He will not be able to explain it and may even be dragged into it and cause unnecessary trouble.
I remember that when I went to the grain processing plant today, I wore a cotton mask.
I reached into my pocket and found the mask was still there.
He took out a mask and put it on, covering half of his face so that no one would recognize him, and then he continued to walk inside.
As I walked, I pretended to see what others were selling, but I was actually looking for someone.
Most of the people who come to do business are men, there are no women.
So if that girl comes, she should be easy to recognize, just by looking at her thin and small figure.
It’s just that the people doing business are not concentrated together, they are distributed in a very messy way, without any rules at all, with groups scattered here and there, making it difficult to find them.
After walking around for a while, I could hear people asking about prices and bargaining, or asking about the source of goods, and inquiring about the goods. There were also a few people who looked like old acquaintances who were whispering about the market.
I looked around and found that they were all men, not a single woman.
I just heard a few people talking about the old lady selling fish coming again, with a big fish weighing more than ten or twenty pounds, as well as shrimp paste and dried fish.
In the entire market, it seems that the old lady selling fish is the only woman.
Zhou Ziheng searched almost the entire black market but didn't find the person he was looking for.
But he felt relieved in his heart and began to think that his idea was too ridiculous. No matter how brave that girl was, she would not dare to come to the black market.
It was pitch black in this place, how could a 16-year-old girl not be scared?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ziheng prepared to turn the car around and leave.
But when they were walking, they found themselves lost in the forest and had no idea where to go.
Looking up at the stars, the dense treetops blocked the sky and there were hardly any stars.
I would get lost in a place where even I would not dare to come.
Zhou Ziheng pushed the cart for a while and finally found a piece of sky. He identified the direction of the North Star and recalled the way he had just come. He knew which direction he should go, so he went to one side.
After groping for a while in the dark forest, I vaguely saw a thin black figure swaying in front of me, with a load on his shoulders.
Zhou Ziheng's good eyesight came in handy again. He squinted his eyes and looked carefully, confirming that there was a figure swaying around.
The outline is somewhat similar to Yu Xiaoye.
Zhou Ziheng quickly quickened his pace and chased after him.
But when a big tree blocked his way, he just took two steps around it, and the black shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye.
No matter how hard he looked, there was only the rustling of leaves around him, and no other sound.
Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but fall into self-doubt. Was he just seeing things?
No, he had never been dazzled before. There was definitely a figure just now.
Is it a ghost?
There are all kinds of strange legends in the Northeast, where all kinds of monsters and demons can transform into human forms and appear in the dark.
But Zhou Ziheng never believed those things.
But what just happened made him confused.
I continued pushing the cart forward, full of suspicion.
After walking around for a while, we finally got out of the woods and came to the river bank. We walked along the river bank and found the bridge.
After crossing the bridge, I rode my bike onto the main road and rode all the way back to the office compound.
The gate of the compound was about to be locked, but he returned home before it was locked.
I entered the house and turned on the lights, and then I felt like I was back in the real world.
And everything that just happened seemed like sleepwalking, or a dream during a high fever.
It's crazy!
He actually went to the black market to find that girl in the middle of the night!
Zhou Ziheng, ah Zhou Ziheng, that girl easily seduced your soul and made you lose all your clear mind.
He went to the bathroom, took a cold shower, and then returned to bed to rest.
I couldn't sleep because I was worried about Yu Xiaoye's whereabouts.
I kept wondering where that girl was.
I lit a cigarette and spent the whole night like this.
————
Let’s talk about Yu Xiaoye.
I took a ride in the afternoon
The big truck was going to the county town, but people got off the truck before it reached the county town, and the place where they got off was near the black market.
She finally had time to come to the county town, so of course she couldn't miss the opportunity to make money on the black market.
There are still a lot of fish on her space yacht. The last time she returned to the company, her father caught fish for her overnight. The shrimp paste she made before is also ready and can be taken out to sell.
In addition to these, I also dry some fish, which I should be able to sell for money.
Now that the weather is hot, these fish that died when they were caught from the sea will probably not be easy to sell. It would be better to dry them into dried fish.
There weren't too many things, but it was enough for her to earn a few dozen dollars and exchange them for some other things to take back.
Summer is coming, and she needs to buy some cloth to make some short-sleeved shirts for herself and her family, which will be just enough to make a new set of clothes for her second brother.
Although my second brother has summer clothes to wear, they are full of patches and he needs to make some new ones.
After making plans in his mind, he got off the car when he arrived, found a secluded place, and returned to the space yacht.
She packed up her things on the yacht. This time she didn't have a bicycle, only a shoulder pole, so she had to carry the things on the pole.
After packing up, she estimated that it was about time, so she changed into the clothes she wore when she went to the black market, put on some makeup, and left the space with her high-intensity flashlight.
