Chapter 67 Finally found the black market



After Yi Xiaoqiu and other heroines went to the company one by one, she also asked for leave, packed her things, rode her bicycle, and went to the company.

I don't know if it's because everyone has a secret, but they didn't invite anyone else to go to the office together, and they all acted alone.

Yi Xiaoqiu was also very satisfied with this point. It was convenient to do anything when acting alone.

This time, in addition to sending letters and things to her family, she also wanted to explore the black market to see if she could find one.

She just couldn't believe it. The heroines could easily find the black market, but she couldn't!

She pushed her bicycle out early this morning. When passing by the yard, she met Lu Huaian washing his hair. Yi Xiaoqiu completed her daily task and then rode her bicycle to leave the educated youth point. After an hour of riding the bicycle, she finally arrived at Yushan Park.

Yi Xiaoqiu immediately sent out the two letters and the package that he had written in advance.

The original owner's home was in Jiangcheng, which was even farther away than Ji Shu's home in the capital. It was unknown how long it would take for the Yi family to collect the things.

Yi Xiaoqiu thought that the place was far away, so apart from a ham, the rest of her food was some long-lasting dried goods.

After sending the things, Yi Xiaoqiu walked around the town, trying to find a black market.

However, after she had wandered around for a while, she was stopped by several big men holding sticks at a remote street corner.

A fierce-looking man with a buzz cut stood in front of Yi Xiaoqiu angrily, "Bitch, it was you who went to the police last time, wasn't it?"

Yi Xiaoqiu blinked, "What do you mean by calling the police? I don't know!"

She held on to the bicycle and backed away little by little.

The man waved his hand, blocking her way.

"Hmph! You still want to run? Don't worry, once you fall into my hands, I will definitely find you a husband!" The man grinned.

"You...you are human traffickers!" Yi Xiaoqiu gripped the bicycle handles tightly with both hands, ready to strike.

"You have good taste. Take him away!" As soon as the man finished speaking, the people behind him surrounded Yi Xiaoqiu.

Among them, two people looked at the bicycle with shining eyes and tried to grab it.

These wicked scoundrels actually dared to come to our door. It seems that these human traffickers have quite a few accomplices!

Yi Xiaoqiu swung his bicycle violently, spinning it twice. Before the people around him could figure out what happened, he was thrown to the ground and couldn't get up.

Because Yi Xiaoqiu was holding the bicycle and swinging it, the wheel hit these people's faces directly. Some were knocked unconscious, some had swollen faces, and some even had some teeth knocked out.

Yi Xiaoqiu saw that except for their heads, they were all limp. In order to prevent them from running away, he picked up their sticks and broke their feet.

"Is there anyone here? Help! Help!" Yi Xiaoqiu shouted.

After a while, someone came over after hearing the noise and asked, "Comrade, what happened?"

The man who came was a young man in his twenties, tall and thin, with sweat on his face because he ran so fast.

Looking at the person calling for help standing upright, there was a look of relief on his face.

"Comrade, please do me a favor and quickly call the police. These are human traffickers!"

The young man then looked at the bruised and battered men in the corner and asked, "What are they doing..."

"They are all human traffickers. Public Security Officer Yang knows about it. Don't ask so many questions first. Just go and report to the police!" Yi Xiaoqiu waved his hand.

"Oh, oh!" The young man walked out subconsciously, still wondering why those human traffickers were so miserable.

Soon, Public Security Officer Yang and his team arrived with handcuffs.

"Yi Zhiqing, it turned out you were the one who reported the incident to the police!"

Yang Jiayu looked at Yi Xiaoqiu and was not surprised at all.

"Well, they must be in the same group as the human traffickers from last time. They came here specifically to stalk me and take revenge on me."

Yang Jiayu looked at the traffickers who were being held by their colleagues, unable to stand up, and asked, "What are they doing..."

"Oh, I was hit by a bicycle. They suddenly rushed out and I didn't stop for a moment, so I hit them."

Yi Xiaoqiu said without blinking.

Yang Jiayu saw the wheel marks on the faces of the traffickers and believed it.

"Officer Yang, I have something else to do. Can I not take a statement? That comrade can go!" Yi Xiaoqiu pointed at the enthusiastic young man.

Yang Jiayu shook her head. "That won't work. The matter hasn't been clarified yet."

"Come on!" Yi Xiaoqiu's face fell. It was almost noon, and he didn't know how long he would have to stay in the police station. Would he still be able to find a black market in the afternoon?

This time was much faster than last time. It was just after nine o'clock when they finished taking the statement. Yi Xiaoqiu felt that it was not a good idea to continue walking around like this, so he used a pound of rice to pry open an old lady's mouth.

The black market was in an old alley, a deserted place. Logically, it shouldn't be too busy during the day as workers were working, but you could always see one or two people coming in and out, all carrying cloth bags that were obviously empty when they went in and full when they came out.

After Yi Xiaoqiu found the entrance, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After finding the entrance, she didn't rush in. She tidied herself up first, changed into a loose long coat and trousers, put on a hat on her head, and covered her face with a scarf.

Yi Xiaoqiu thought she was dressed too much, but after she paid the ten-cent entrance fee and entered, she realized how ignorant she was.

The alleys of the black market were quiet. There were a few people squatting here and there at the foot of the wall, covering their heads and faces. It was basically impossible to make out their appearances. Judging from their figures, they were all men, and women were rarely seen.

Most of them also buy some of their own agricultural products, cornmeal, bean flour, eggs, beans, pheasants, rabbits and other wild animals, as well as wild fish collected from the mountains. The most rare thing is that there are people selling chickens, fish and pork.

However, because Yi Xiaoqiu arrived late, there was not much left to sell on the black market.

Yi Xiaoqiu inquired about the prices of various things. Pork on the black market was 1.2 yuan per pound, and hens were 1.5 yuan per pound. Eggs were relatively expensive in comparison, at 0.8 yuan per pound. No wonder it was called the Chicken Butt Bank, it really lived up to its name.

Fortunately, Yi Xiaoqiu asked the housekeeper to stock up a lot of eggs in advance, just waiting for this day!

Yi Xiaoqiu found a corner to squat down, opened the backpack, and revealed a basket full of eggs. The people around him immediately glanced over secretly.

As soon as Yi Xiaoqiu squatted down, an old lady ran over and asked the price.

“How much are the eggs?”

"Eighty cents a pound." Yi Xiaoqiu didn't even bat an eyelid.

This price is normal in the black market, but the auntie still bargained, saying, "I want to buy two kilograms. Can you give me a discount? 50 cents is okay?"

The eggs sold at the supply and marketing company were around 46 or 50 cents, but the key point was that the supply and marketing company only bought them but didn't sell them, so you couldn't buy them at all.

This lady really has no idea!

"Ninety cents a pound."

"Hey! Why are you raising the price? Sixty cents a pound, I want to buy two pounds." The old lady looked dissatisfied. She had never seen anyone raise the price by bargaining.

Yi Xiaoqiu was just about to raise the price by another cent when suddenly, a flurry of footsteps came from the entrance, followed by someone shouting.

"The red armbands are coming!"
