Nowadays, owning a bicycle is no less than owning a supercar. It will attract attention wherever you go and make it inconvenient to do anything.
After Qin Zheng left, Tang Wan did not wander around the house. She moved a chair and sat at the door of the main hall, looking at the shade cast by the locust tree in the yard, listening to the sound of cicadas chirping, and the hot wind blowing on her body, which could make her feel calm.
There are houses like this all around, and there are no other sounds from a distance.
Tang Wan felt a little drowsy in such an environment.
The tranquility was broken here.
A loud shout came from not far outside the wall.
"stop!"
"Stop in front!"
The sounds were getting louder and closer. Tang Wan woke up from her sleepiness and stood up from her chair and walked to the wall of the courtyard to listen to what was happening outside.
The sound of hurried footsteps passed first, followed by a series of footsteps.
The voice continued to ring, but how could anyone hear such words and actually stop at this time?
Tang Wan heard the footsteps becoming clearer and clearer, and then the door slammed twice.
Qin Zhengqian had specifically told Tang Wan to lock the gate from the inside, and only left after making sure that Tang Wan had locked it. He also told Tang Wan not to open the door for anyone except him.
At this time, the person outside certainly couldn't push the door open.
The man didn't expect anyone to open the door. When he pushed it twice and it didn't open, he immediately ran in another direction.
Tang Wan was not afraid even though the door was closed. When she heard the sound, she immediately went to the door and looked outside. It was the back of a woman running away.
On a hot day, the woman wore a gray long-sleeved top with black patches, pure black pants, and a vegetable basket draped with cloth in her hand. She looked like the most simple-looking rural woman.
Somehow, Tang Wan felt a sense of familiarity as she watched the man running away.
The woman hadn't run far when a group of people came over here, all wearing the iconic red armbands on their arms.
Tang Wan immediately understood the identities of these people, who were the ones everyone was afraid of at that time.
Even if they haven't done anything wrong, ordinary people would still feel a little timid when seeing these people.
I don't know what that woman did.
Those people rushed straight towards the woman's back, but these young and strong men were not as fast as the woman.
Tang Wan straightened up only after the two groups of people disappeared from view. She had been bending over and looking through the crack in the door for a long time.
When Tang Wan was about to turn around and go back into the house, the door was knocked twice and Qin Zheng's voice came from outside.
Tang Wan immediately opened the door and was met with Qin Zheng's surprised expression.
Obviously, Qin Zheng didn't expect Tang Wan to open the door so quickly, and he hadn't put down his hand yet that was raised to knock on the door.
"What are you doing standing at the door?" Qin Zheng asked instead of rushing in.
Hearing Qin Zheng's question, Tang Wan told him exactly what she had just seen and pointed out the direction in which the woman escaped.
Then he looked at Qin Zheng with a bit of anticipation.
Qin Zheng knew from the look in her eyes that she wanted to get an answer from him.
"It should be someone from the black market who was arrested." Qin Zheng was not too shy when he spoke. You know, no one dared to mention the word black market like this outside.
Qin Zheng pointed to the yard and said, "There's a black market in the alley behind."
