Chapter 51: Blocking the Road
Xiang Baiwei dared to let him go with him, and hurriedly shook his head: "I really don't need to, I'll just go by myself." ”
Jiang Sui knew what she was going to do, and he didn't really want to go with her in his heart.
He just wanted to tease Bai Wei.
"I'll take you by bike! I'm afraid that you will come back too late, and you will meet a robber on the road, and in these years, there are people everywhere who do not have enough to eat, and it is not peaceful. ”
Listening to these kind words, Xiang Bai Wei was extremely embarrassed.
You can't go with him.
But people are kind, and if they refuse to say it too simply, they will inevitably be a little ignorant.
What reason should I think of to fool him?
Jiang Sui next to him slowly packed up his things, and made up a good excuse to Bai Wei by the way.
Waiting and waiting, Xiang Bai Wei said with an embarrassed face: "Are you going to the town tomorrow to have something to do?" If you're going to have something to do, I'll give you back the bike, and I'll have a way to get to town myself." ”
In this way, I guess I can't guess any suitable excuses.
Jiang Sui smiled, and didn't plan to continue to embarrass her: "It's okay, you can use it, I'm going to school tomorrow to be busy, and I may go to the town, I can't say anything." ”
Seeing that he didn't have to follow him, he let go of Bai Weixin, and Ma Li slipped away to the kitchen to serve rice, for fear that Jiang Sui would change his mind if he was one step late.
Behind, Jiang Sui looked at her figure running away in a hurry, and smiled helplessly.
At the same time, he also made up his mind in his heart that he would borrow a bicycle tomorrow and be sure to follow Xiang Baiwei.
There is no other reason, it is cold, it gets dark early, Xiang Baiwei comes back late, the road is too dangerous, Jiang Sui is still not at ease after all.
The next afternoon.
Xiang Baiwei watched the sun go down more and more, rode the car, and went down the road to the town.
When he arrived in the town, Xiang Baiwei parked his bicycle at a relative's house that he was quite familiar with, and he followed the path to the place where he had made an appointment with the man.
Before arriving at the place, take a look at Bai Wei's things, hide in a pile of dried corn seedlings, enter the space there, turn out the clothes you have prepared in advance, and dress up.
After everything was cleaned up, Xiang Baiwei came to the spot that he stepped on before.
This place is about 300 meters away from the small alley where the trade is done.
The alley itself is close to the edge of the village, sparsely populated, and the place to Bai Wei is even more remote.
Under the cover of twilight and all kinds of firewood, she pulled several large baskets of fish that had been caught out of the space, put them in the corner of the wall, and hid them with a large pile of hay.
Then, turn around and go to the alley to find the man who worked with him.
At the mouth of the alley, two men leaned against the corner of the wall, clasped their hands and talked.
One of them saw Xiang Baiwei from a distance and ran quickly: "What do I want?" ”
Xiang Bai Wei looked at the companions who followed him, and was vigilant: "Why did you bring someone else?" ”
The man smiled helplessly: "Girl, how many fish have you not counted in your heart?" Do you think I can move alone? ”
"That's right, then you come with me, I'm hiding things over there."
Xiang Bai Wei and the man separated themselves from a distance and went to the place where they hid the fish.
After arriving at the place, Xiang Bai Wei turned his head to look at the man and stretched out his calloused palm: "Pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other." ”
"I have to look at the fish first, I'm afraid you'll be shoddy."
The man took out the handkerchief that was packing the money, held it with his hand, and did not give it to Bai Wei.
Xiang Bai Wei nodded, agreed with his statement, led him to the place where the fish was released, and lifted the grass on it: "It's all here, all these baskets are four catties of fish, and those baskets are all more than five catties and six catties. ”
The man picked up a fish and checked it in his hand, and then asked Bai Wei: "How many fish are there in these baskets?" ”
"These baskets are all four catties, a total of one hundred and twenty, and the other baskets are five catties, a total of eighty." Xiang Bai Weiguang pointed his finger and didn't touch it, for fear of getting a fishy smell again.
"Such a coincidence? All integers? The man asked.
"Oh, you said you wanted two hundred, and I would just make it up for you, and there were still in the fish pond, but I planned to give them to relatives and friends, so I wouldn't sell them." After saying this, Xiang Bai Wei spread out his palms again, "A total of three hundred and fifty-two yuan, pay the money." ”
The man opened the handkerchief, revealing several large solidarity sheets and a small stack of change inside: "Three hundred and fifty, erase the two dollars in change." ”
If you put it in the future, you can do without the fraction of two dollars.
But now at this time, in the era when you can buy a lot of things for one dollar, Xiang Baiwei is of course not willing to erase zero: "There are a lot of fish in here, all of which are more than four catties and five catties, I will count them with you according to the whole number, and I am already erasing the zero for you, if you continue to bargain, then this business will be boring." ”
The man looked at several large baskets of fish: "This fish has already been caught here, if you don't do business with me, it will be troublesome to take it back, right?" ”
With the space in hand, he didn't feel troublesome and smiled at Bai Wei: "I'm a person who has a strong temperament since I was a child, and my temper has come up, so I would rather lose it all than be angry." ”
Xiang Bai Wei knew that this man wanted to deliberately lower the price again, so he didn't want to cooperate with him.
"You girl, this temper is not good, forget it, you have already given me a lot of benefits, I really can't say anything like this."
The man took out three hundred and fifty-two yuan and gave it to Xiang Baiwei, "You check the money." ”
Xiang Baiwei took the money, counted it, and after making sure that there was no problem, he turned around and left.
Somehow, the man behind him called two more companions, and several of them put a few baskets of fish on the cart, pushed them together, and disappeared in the night.
On the other side, Xiang Baiwei took the money she had just received and hurriedly went to the relative's house where the bicycle was placed.
Just past a corner, suddenly a cheer sounded, and Xiang Baiwei was blocked by several inspectors: "Where did you come from?" What are you doing here? ”
Xiang Baiwei's heart tightened, and she was about to speak, when there was a bicycle sound behind her, and Jiang Sui appeared behind her like a descending sky: "Wait a minute, this is my daughter-in-law, we are together." ”
How did he end up here?
Xiang Baiwei was still puzzled in her heart, and the man who blocked the road looked at Xiang Baiwei and Jiang Sui: "Which village are you from?" It's so late, and you haven't gone home yet, did you come from that alley in the east just now? ”
If it's broken, will you already be targeted?
"We are from Xiangjia Village, this family is not coming to see relatives, just about to leave, it is dark, the moon has not risen, some can't see the road clearly, my daughter-in-law came down to find the way."
Jiang Sui subconsciously protected Xiang Baiwei behind him.
The man who took the lead didn't seem to want to let go of the two of them so easily: "Your daughter-in-law's dress is a bit different from her voice, is it possible..."
