Chapter 33: The Ghost Market

Xu Lingjun decided to go to the county and prepare to go to the legendary "ghost market".

He had already inquired clearly, and this "ghost market" was generally opened in the southern suburbs of the city.

Originally, this kind of market was originally called the pigeon market.

Later, it became a black market.

It means that it has changed from being open during the day to at night.

Later, the investigation became stricter, and it became the current "ghost market".

In the middle of the night, the market opens at three or four o'clock in the morning.

It usually lasts for an hour, and the market closes before dawn.

At this point, people are generally sleeping, and there are fewer people to check it.

Besides, they are all villagers in the nearby villages, they are all poor people, so they have to leave some way for people to live!

The other thing is that they're grasslands here.

In addition to the people on their ranches, there are also quite a few free-form herders.

They have a lot of private flocks, which are their rations.

For these ethnic minorities, in many cases, the policies are very lenient and the management is not so strict.

At night, Xiuzhi no longer asked Xu Lingjun to cook, mainly because she was afraid that he would "waste" food again.

Although their family now has a lot of food.

But these were their rations for three months, and they had to save a little.

This fine grain can only be used when it is critical.

In the end, if you don't have enough to eat, you can exchange this for a little more coarse grain.

Although Xiuzhi is simple, she is not stupid, and she has not changed fine grains for coarse grains.

To put it bluntly, there will be buying and selling when there is demand!

Otherwise, there will be a black market everywhere.

"Xiuzhi, I'm going to go out in the evening, to a ghost market."

Xu Lingjun will definitely not be able to avoid Xiuzhi when he goes out in the middle of the night.

It's better to make it clear to Xiuzhi now, so as to save Xiuzhi suspicion.

It would be even more troublesome if she yelled out without her knowing.

"Ghost~" Xiuzhi hurriedly covered her mouth.

Although it was at home, I didn't dare to say it out loud.

"What are you doing there?" Xiuzhi asked quietly.

She actually went to the ghost market when she was in her hometown.

That's because the family really can't survive anymore, so they buy a little coarse grain at a high price.

Also, at last year's Chinese New Year, I exchanged a little fine grain for some coarse grain.

In her impression, she would only trade there if her family couldn't get by.

After all, it's still very risky to go there.

If you let the family catch it, in the name of the last speculative reversal, it will be completely over.

"Xiuzhi, do you still remember the bezoar we sold?"

Xu Lingjun also whispered.

"Of course, it sold for more than eighty dollars."

"It's only been a few days, how could I forget."

Although Xiuzhi doesn't know what the specific function of this bezoar is, she knows that this thing is valuable!

"If the bezoar goes there to sell it, it can double or triple when you meet a good person."

Xu Lingjun had no choice but to use this bezoar to talk about things again.

In this way, not only can Xiuzhi feel a little more, but also make her feel a little involved.

Xiuzhi is not only beautiful, but also very smart.

If Xu Lingjun wants to live a good life in the future, she must slowly change her thinking.

"Ah~ so much~ but~ we sold more than eighty yuan."

Xiuzhi opened her mouth wide and said, this is more than a hundred less!

She can be regarded as having been to school for a few years, and this account can still be settled.

"Well, don't think about it, the bezoar is too expensive to sell in the ghost market."

"It's easy to find."

"Besides, the money is going to be mailed to your parents, and there are traces to follow."

Xu Lingjun smiled and comforted Xiuzhi.

"This~Lao Xu, I didn't understand~"

Xiuzhi just listened to Xu Lingjun speak for a long time, and felt that what her husband said was very reasonable.

But she didn't understand what it meant.

Xu Lingjun was stunned for a moment, and then knew that his old habit of talking in his previous life had come again.

After all, he was also considered to have eaten an "iron rice bowl" in his previous life.

The people around me are all old foxes, and others can understand this.

But now Xiuzhi is only in the fourth grade of elementary school, how can she understand what he means.

"I mean the money you give your parents has to be legitimate."

"If you have this kind of bill, it won't cause trouble for your parents."

Xu Lingjun explained it as popularly as possible.

"That~Then what are you going to do in the ghost market~"

Xiuzhi seemed to understand, but what was the purpose of Xu Lingjun's going to the ghost market.

This time he did ask the point, so that Xu Lingjun didn't know what to say.

Can he say that he is hungry and wants to eat meat?

Or do you want to get some small coffers, or you don't feel tough?

Or rather~

"I'll go see if there are any chicks for sale, and I'll buy a few and raise them."

Xu Lingjun finally found a reason and said.

"However, I heard Xiaoyan say that the village can change to chicks."

Xiuzhi is not stupid, she almost fooled Xu Lingjun just now.

"This, I still have some ordinary medicinal herbs, go there to exchange it, I can exchange it for more money."

Xu Lingjun hurriedly added a reason, he didn't expect this little girl to be quite difficult to fool.

"Well, I don't understand either."

"Go ahead, be careful, remember that I'm waiting for you at home."

Xiuzhi didn't pester what Xu Lingjun was going to do in the ghost market.

Her mother once taught her that men have their own reasons for doing things, and women only need to support them.

Besides, Xu Lingjun is a cultural person and understands a lot.

It's good to be able to tell her what she's going to do, but there are so many extravagant hopes.

"Uh~"

Xu Lingjun was once again moved by this little girl.

How can there be such a sensible girl in the future!

"By the way, this lotion is almost cold."

"You're just fine, you'll have to wash it once or twice."

"It's not all your fault~"

"Hehe~ I'll pay attention next time, next time."

"You turn around, don't peek~"

"Oh, I'll turn around and don't peek."

"Oops, turn around, don't look at it, I'm ashamed~"

Late at night, Xu Lingjun gently pulled out his arm, got dressed and left.

It's just that as soon as he closed the door, Xiuzhi opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of worry.

He was ready to set off quietly, and the horse did not ride, but went directly on foot.

Fortunately, his current physical strength is extraordinary.

Lian ran and took it away, and two hours later it was near the county seat.

Although he knew that this ghost city was on the outskirts of the southern part of the city, he really didn't know exactly where it was.

Fortunately, by the moonlight, he saw a man carrying a basket.

Sneakily walked to the south of the city.

This one is still very careful, and looks around from time to time.

He didn't know that Xu Lingjun's current eyesight had been bonus.

I thought no one noticed him.

Xu Lingjun didn't bother people either, after all, people who go to the ghost market are very careful.

Besides, he doesn't know each other, and it's impossible to trust each other.

He followed him from a distance, and came to a grove.

Suddenly, the man was stopped.

However, the other party was not in a hurry.

He took something out of his pocket, handed it to the man, and went in.

And the one who had just stopped him was hiding again.

Xu Lingjun observed it carefully.

Only then did he realize that there was another one in the tree.

It seems that there are "rules" in the market at any time.

It's okay that way, it's relatively safe.
