Yu Sui walked slowly into the red brick alley. When she passed the first man with his hat pulled down low, she heard the man's low voice ask, "Do you want some Russian caviar?"
To be honest, Yu Sui was very excited.
Oh my god, there is caviar?
She hasn't eaten for a long time!
I want to eat it!
But she had just arrived and was not familiar with the rules here. She wanted to take a closer look, so she kept silent and continued walking forward.
The woman in front, with her gray hair showing, was not as calm as the first man. Seeing Yu Sui passing by, she immediately came forward and said, "Comrade, do you have any glutinous rice?"
Huh? You're not here to sell anything, you're here to buy something?
Yu Sui was surprised again and quickly waved her hands: "No."
The woman continued to follow her, "Do you know who has it? I need it urgently. Can you recommend some? If we don't have sticky rice, how can we have watermelon?"
It was obvious that he was anxious, he even asked about watermelon.
What kind of weather is this? And watermelon?
Oh my god, what kind of conditions does this family have? How did they come up with this?
Yu Sui looked at the woman and said, "I'm here to buy something. I don't have anything."
The woman stopped and continued to look anxiously at the entrance of the alley.
Yu Sui continued walking into the alley. From time to time, people came up to him and talked. Some said they were selling silver coins, some said they were selling rice, and some said they were selling condoms.
It’s just like what the old workers in the factory said, whatever you want is available.
It's really amazing.
After a preliminary understanding, Yu Sui wanted to buy some of the gems that Xia Linsheng gave her last time.
The prices are not expensive these days. She can buy some and then sell them to exchange for space. It is really a very quick way to make money.
The man who said he had the gem was a dark and thin old man.
Yu Sui walked the entire alley and then turned back. The old man spoke softly, just like when he passed by just now, "Hey, red envelopes, emeralds, diamonds, and gemstones, do you want any?"
Yu Sui stopped and tried her best to act like a regular customer: "Bring it out so I can choose."
The old man looked around, then took out a black cloth bag from his pocket and spread it out on his black gloves.
Black best brings out the gemstone’s brilliance.
The old man's hands are full of stars, red, green, white, blue and everything else, which is dazzling to look at.
Yu Sui did her homework in advance and knew that there were already some Russian-made diamonds available, so she didn't choose a white one. Instead, she chose a blue-green stone with a white line in the middle, which cost her about 70 yuan.
This price is not a small amount these days.
So, the old man looked very excited and happy, took the money and slipped away.
Yu Sui held the gem up to the sunlight and looked at it.
The gem's bluish-green color was deep, and the white line in its center shimmered in the sunlight, making it a bit dazzling. Yu Sui had done her research and knew it was alexandrite. Although it was bluish-green at first, it turned red under the light, a gem unique to Russia. The one with the white line in the center was cat's-eye alexandrite, which was even rarer.
According to her understanding, at this stage, alexandrite has not been artificially produced, so this small natural stone should be able to exchange for a lot of money.
When she thought about making money, Yu Sui felt even more excited than the old man, and the corners of her mouth turned up high under her scarf.
But at this moment, there was a commotion in front.
Someone whispered, "Run! The police are coming to catch us!"
It was the first time Yu Sui encountered such a thing. She was stunned for a moment, not knowing which way to go, when the people in the alley ahead all rushed towards her.
Everyone stumbled and retreated to the other end.
Yu Sui must have followed suit, thinking there was an exit.
However, when a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water can cause a toothache, let alone doing something illegal.
After only a few steps, the surging crowd retreated again, and someone shouted loudly: "Don't run! Someone reported smuggling here, and both ends of the alley are blocked! Don't move, everyone squat! Otherwise, I will cuff you!"
Then, quite a few people wearing navy blue police winter uniforms gathered around.
This is trouble.
Fortunately, she is not an ordinary person. She is a person with space and can always struggle.
Yu Sui tried to get as close to the wall as possible and walked along the cracks in the wall to see if she could take a small alley about three meters away to hide in the space.
But before I could even get out of the alley, a policeman came out pushing a woman: "I told you not to run! Why are you running? Are we going to arrest you?"
The woman immediately began to plead, "Comrade, no, you misunderstood. I'm not here to smuggle. I'm just passing through. I really was just passing through. If you don't believe me, ask that woman. I really was walking right next to her. I was just passing through!"
The woman said, pointing at Yu Sui.
Yu Sui: “…” It’s over, time for the BBQ!
The police officer looked over at Yu Sui and pointed at her with his leather-gloved hand: "Get down! You're not allowed to move!"
If you are in trouble, it will be difficult to escape.
It's not good to try to trick someone into leaving you alive right under the police's noses, right?
That situation could easily get out of hand.
Yu Sui was wearing a mask and baggy clothes. She imitated the woman's pleading: "Yes, comrade, we are just passing by, just passing by."
The policeman in the blue cotton jacket remained unmoved: "Who in this alley doesn't say the same thing? Get down, everyone! We'll all go to the police station and tell them later!"
Yu Sui didn't want to attract attention, so she quickly squatted by the wall as the police instructed.
But that woman was different. She actually made the police kneel down:
"No, no, comrade, please let me go. My son is seriously ill and will die soon. It's only these two days. I can't leave for too long. I want to see him. Comrade, please let me go. I really can't do it. My son just wanted to eat a rice dumpling, so I came here to try my luck and buy some glutinous rice. He's dying. Please let him have a bite before he dies. Ahhhh, please let me go. I really am not smuggling!"
The woman became sadder as she spoke. She hugged the policeman's thighs and fell to the ground, crying loudly. The whole alley was filled with the woman's crying.
Yu Sui looked around.
The several black market people who were surrounded were all asked to squat, with their heads buried in their crotches.
The few policemen guarding them only focused their eyes on the crying woman.
Isn’t this an opportunity!
Yu Sui simply moved her mind and disappeared into the space.
Phew, safe!
However, when I heard the crying outside in the space, I didn’t know if some proton particles had changed, but the sound became particularly clear and sounded even more sad than when I heard it outside.
The woman sobbed sadly, as if she was about to cry herself to death:
"Ahhh, my son, I've raised him for eighteen years, and now he's seriously ill. How am I going to live in the future? Woohoo, I also want you to arrest me, even if you want to shoot me. Please, can you let me fulfill my son's wish? Ahhh, he's so sick that he can't tell the difference between spring and summer. He lay on the kang to keep warm and said he wanted to eat watermelon..."
