After Pei Yan and Yuan Ye arrived in Rongcheng that day, they openly sent the criminals who attacked them directly to the public security bureau.
After all, the person who can hold a wooden warehouse in his hand is definitely not an ordinary person.
After hearing what Yuan Ye said, which also revealed some information about a certain official in Rongcheng, the Public Security Bureau immediately became highly alert and did not dare to take the matter lightly.
After the two came out of the Public Security Bureau, Yuan Ye took Pei Yan to a hotel with ease and booked a room for Pei Yan to have a good rest.
He gave him another fifty yuan and a stack of food coupons, and told him to go to a state-owned restaurant to eat lunch by himself, as he estimated that he would not be able to come to see him until the evening.
Pei Yan didn't ask any more questions. He took the money and food coupons and put them in his pocket.
After Yuan Ye left, I asked the front desk clerk where there was a bathhouse. It was impossible to take a shower after living in the open air for these days. Now that there was a way, I had to take a shower first.
The girl at the front desk was stunned for a moment by Pei Yan's handsome appearance.
Pei Yan frowned and tapped the counter with his fingers slightly bent.
The little girl reacted and told him the place with a blushing face.
After Pei Yan thanked her, he went back to his room to get a change of clothes and went to the bathhouse the girl mentioned.
I didn’t have a local bath ticket, so I had to spend fifty cents to take a bath.
After coming out of the shower, the dirt from days of running around was washed away, and I felt relaxed all over.
Pei Yan returned to his room, re-applied medicine and bandaged the wound, and then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
It was only when Yuan Ye came back and knocked on the door loudly that Pei Yan was awakened from his sleep.
It was rare that he was sleeping soundly, so being woken up naturally made him unhappy and his expression became even colder.
Yuan Ye had long been accustomed to Pei Yan's cold face these days and turned a blind eye to the coldness he exuded.
"You kid, you look exhausted."
Yuan Ye walked in on his own, still talking non-stop.
"I've finished what Master Gao asked me to do. How about it? Do you want to hang out with me, Brother Ye, in Rongcheng?"
Pei Yan had a serious expression on his face, and was thinking in his heart. After all, he was also involved in the black market in An County. If he could understand the black market situation in Rongcheng, he might be able to exchange the supplies that were not available on both sides.
Nowadays, material shortages are the norm. If you have a unique trading route, you won’t have to worry about not making money.
He suppressed his thoughts, not because he was on guard against Yuan Ye. After all, they both worked for Master Gao. As long as he made any move, Master Gao would know it in An County.
"Brother Ye, how is the black market in Rongcheng?"
"Hey, you're quite brave, kid. Tomorrow, Brother Ye will take you for a walk to broaden your horizons." Yuan Ye knew that Pei Yan was a bold person. Although he was young, he did things in an organized manner.
The two of them agreed on this. It was already dark now, and the food Yuan Ye brought back tasted average, but it was enough to fill them up.
Pei Yan continued to lie on the bed after eating, his arms behind his head, his eyes blinking as he stared at the ceiling.
Perhaps because he had slept too long during the day, he was completely sleepless. Yuan Ye, who was lying on the bed next to him, fell into a snoring slumber, and Pei Yan felt irritated.
I finally fell into a drowsy sleep. Outside the window, the sky was bright, more people were outside the house, and there was noise everywhere.
Yuan Ye woke up from a sound sleep and pushed Pei Yan awake.
The veins on Pei Yan's forehead twitched, and he stared fiercely at Yuan Ye who had sat up.
"Wow! Why are you staring at me like that?"
"I just fell asleep and you woke me up. What do you think?" Pei Yan just felt his hands itching.
"Hey, young people, it's okay to sleep less. Get up, let's go eat first. Brother Ye will take you to eat something good today. If you want to go shopping, it's a good opportunity to buy some new things for your family."
Yuan Ye's words reminded him that he should indeed choose some gifts to take back.
Pei Yan stopped arguing with Yuan Ye, got up and washed up, which took only three to five minutes.
"Put the things here first and stay one more night." Yuan Ye had already made arrangements, and Pei Yan was silent.
Rongcheng is indeed a big city. Slogans can be seen everywhere. There are many more people riding bicycles on the road than in An County. People's mental outlook is different.
Yuan Ye took Pei Yan through many twists and turns into an alley and knocked on the door of a house.
After a while, someone opened the door a crack and looked at people cautiously through the crack.
"Old Liu, it's me, Yuan Ye." Yuan Ye said in a low voice.
The person inside then opened the door, leaving enough space for one person to come in. Yuan Ye walked in, followed closely by Pei Yan.
"Yuan boy, I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been recently?" Old Liu looked very familiar and knew at first glance that they were old acquaintances.
"Uncle Liu, where else can I go? I can't get into the factory, so I can only live my life day by day." Yuan Ye was nonchalant, not at all like the calm and experienced man who was driving on the road.
Sure enough, he is not a simple person.
Pei Yan knew in his heart that Mr. Gao's background was mysterious, and Pei Yan, who followed him, was also full of mystery.
"You kid, you make your mother worry all the time. Look at you, you haven't even gone home yet. If you don't go back to see your mother, I will complain to you." Old Liu patted Yuan Ye on the back and said happily.
"Oh, Uncle Liu, you're so old, why are you still complaining? I can go back, so I'll do it tomorrow. Please find something good to do and do it for my brother and me. We're starving."
Yuan Ye pushed Lao Liu playfully. Lao Liu cursed him as a little bastard, but turned around and went to the kitchen.
"Uncle Liu is an experienced chef. His cooking skills are simply amazing! I'm just quietly entertaining a few acquaintances. You're in for a treat today."
Yuan Ye said a few words, led Pei Yan to sit at the table in the lobby, reached out to pick up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea.
"Brother Ye, how are we going to get back to An County? Should we drive or take the train?" Pei Yan was eager to go home.
"Don't worry, after we finish our visit to the black market, Brother Ye will prepare something for you and take you back."
"Hurry up, we have been out for several days." Pei Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"You're in such a hurry, are you thinking about meeting your sweetheart at home?" Yuan Ye was just joking.
"Cough cough cough!" Pei Yan, who had not intended to drink tea, choked.
He coughed for a long time before he recovered and said, "No! Don't talk nonsense." It was rare for his face to show annoyance at being hit by something.
"Tsk! If there is no such thing, then there is no such thing." Yuan Ye didn't look like he believed it, but he was afraid that Pei Yan would be really angry, so he just drank his tea.
Not long after, Lao Liu and another man came out with dishes.
While Lao Liu was carrying a pot of mutton soup, the person behind him actually brought up a roasted whole lamb.
"You're lucky, Yuan! We just sent you a lamb from the countryside today. It's a bargain for you."
"Oh! Uncle Liu, I'm in for a treat today. I've been thinking about this for a long time."
Old Liu was naturally happy when he heard what Yuan Ye said.
He immediately asked them to start eating, and then went to the kitchen to stir-fry two vegetables to relieve the greasiness.
Pei Yan was not polite at all. He was already gnawing on a leg of lamb when Yuan Ye greeted him.
