Lying on the bed, Zhang Ze squinted for a while and didn't dare to sleep at all, for fear of missing the time of the black market.

I don't know how long it took, but he simply stopped sleeping and got up to go to the county seat.

It's too inconvenient to have an alarm clock without a watch, and you still have to try to get a watch first after making money.

Got up and put the fish in the space back into the bucket, Zhang Ze found another piece of clothing, which he could cover his face when he went to the black market, and then quietly walked out of the room with the bucket.

As soon as he went out, he found that the living room was still lit with a kerosene lamp, and the second sister Zhang Qian was sleeping on the table, next to a large bowl of black water chestnuts that looked to have been cooked.

As if she heard the movement, she raised her head in a daze, rubbed her eyes with both hands, and looked a little coquettish.

"Ah Qian, why do you sleep outside?" Zhang Ze put down the bucket, picked up a water chestnut and gently bit the shell, then grabbed the two ends and gently pulled it out, revealing the intact flesh inside.

The flesh is soft and creamy, with the same texture as a roasted potato, but very sweet.

"I came out to see that my mother was waiting for you to get up, so I asked her to go back to sleep!" Zhang Qian saw him come out and hurriedly got up and put the water chestnut into the bag, "Brother, you can take these with you on the way to eat." ”

"Not so much." Zhang Ze waved his hand, and grabbed two handfuls of clothes that he intended to cover his face, "You eat the rest, you will lock the door and go to sleep later, and my brother will bring you meat tomorrow." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Qian nodded, but her expression was a little worried, "Brother, be careful..."

"Don't worry, I'm going to have an accident." Feeling his sister's concern, Zhang Ze's heart warmed, and then he picked up the bucket and left.

As for the mandarin fish, he had plans to keep a family to eat.

But it would be at least seven or eight hours before noon, and it would be almost the same if the mandarin fish would not die outside, so it would be better to go fishing when he returned.

Leaving home, Zhang Ze walked briskly along the road to the county seat by the moonlight.

The village is not close to the county seat, about 20 kilometers away.

It is estimated that it takes four or five hours to walk normally, but he walks faster, and it is estimated that he can reach it in more than three hours.

Fortunately, the body is young enough, and the fish in the bucket are received for fishing, so it is not too tired.

It's just that the roads of this era are not asphalt roads and cement roads, but dirt roads with potholes.

In addition, there are either fields or groves on both sides of the road, and the timid ones dare not walk at night.

Zhang Ze was also a little hairy in his heart, and he always felt that there was something on the left and right sides and behind.

However, he believes that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he is not allowed to become a sperm, and there is absolutely no fox spirit or female ghost in front of him to hook up with him.

It's just that after walking for almost an hour, the hardest section came.

At present, there is only one road leading from Qinghe Village to Yuewan County, and one section of it is a mountainside road, and both sides are full of graves or grave bags.

And for some reason, some of the graves were dug up, and the bones were thrown aside in snakeskin bags.

(Yes, my dad experienced it himself, but he didn't know why.) More bizarre things have also been experienced, but I won't talk about it in the book, to prevent river crabs. ）

Not to mention that it is late at night, even in the evening, no one wants to walk this road alone.

Zhang Ze had thought about going to the county seat to sell fish before, but he didn't consider the horror of walking this road at night.

Looking at the dark path in front of him, the rustling leaves blown by the wind, he always felt as if there was a figure inside, and his heart was a little hairy.

"Uncle Lin bless, Uncle Lin bless!"

As a fisherman, he often goes to some remote places for night fishing, so it stands to reason that he is quite bold.

But the terrifying atmosphere of this path has weighed on the nerves, and it seems that it will collapse at any moment.

With courage, Zhang Ze walked fast on his legs, as if he wanted to pass here quickly.

Maybe the movement of walking was a bit loud, and as soon as he walked into the path, a black shadow suddenly burst out of the tree a few meters away, and a piercing "hmm" exploded in his ears.

Zhang Ze, whose nerves had been tense, was immediately frightened and his scalp exploded, goosebumps burst from his head to the soles of his feet, and he stayed in place directly, his mouth trembling and he couldn't even make a sound.

It wasn't until the black shadow flew away that his numb body resumed its movement.

"Huh~" Zhang Ze gasped heavily after coming back to his senses, his heart was beating like a drum, and then his face showed an expression of crying and laughing.

A night owl, an owl, almost didn't give him another chance to live.

It's not that he hasn't heard the call of owls, and in his previous life, he sometimes went out to fish at night, and occasionally heard it.

But as long as there is an owl calling, he will leave decisively, even if the environment is good, no matter how many fish there are, he will not catch it.

His fishing level is not high, and he can't do it for the time being, so he can't be reluctant to let the guy soak for another two hours.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Zhang Ze found that he was not so scared anymore.

But this time it was miserable enough, and he was now covered in cold sweat.

"Made, you're really scared of yourself!"

After complaining about himself, Zhang Ze raised his slightly weak legs and continued to walk towards the county seat.

The closer you get to the county seat, the wider the road, and it's much easier to walk.

When the sky was faintly bright, Zhang Ze hurriedly hurried and finally came to the black market in Yuewan County.

Before entering, he covered his face with his clothes, revealing only his eyes.

He had been to this black market in his previous life, and the location on the edge of the county seat was very remote.

It's just that it was already 82 years, and the black market had turned into a small stall street, and many people in the countryside came to sell things, which was very lively.

But he doesn't know what the situation is now, so he can only be cautious.

If he can buy and sell normally, it is best, if not, he still has to find another way out.

After all, there is still a certain risk in trading on the black market for a long time.

At present, there are a total of 23 mandarin fish in the fishing space, and the largest one can be left for the time being, maybe there will be a big customer when it is sold.

So he selected three mandarin fish weighing two or three pounds, which weighed just right.

Zhang Ze walked into the black market and found that there were already many people doing business inside, so most of them found a spot at random and put their things out.

But what is surprising is that these people are not covering their faces, giving people the impression that they are doing business in the open.

Are you so bold?

Zhang Ze vaguely remembered that there were many people in Wenshui City who were secretly setting up stalls to do business, and the number of people seemed to be exaggerated.

I didn't expect that so many people in the black market in Yuewan County would start to do business secretly.

Seeing this, Zhang Ze was also a little bolder, and found a corner to wait for the customers to come.

At first, no one came, and they seemed to be secretly observing him.

After about 20 minutes, a man came to him, about three meters away, glanced at the bucket and asked in a low voice, "What is in your bucket?" ”

Zhang Ze saw the situation of the people around him and understood what he should do, so he reached out and grabbed a mandarin fish from inside.

The mandarin fish kept flicking its tail in his hand, and it looked extremely energetic.

This man also has a flashlight, which shines directly on his hand after turning it on, and when he sees what it is, he is a little surprised: "Mandarin fish? ”

"Yes, the one that just caught it is still very fresh." Zhang Ze nodded and said in a low voice.

It's just that the man didn't plan to buy the fish, shook his head and walked away, and he also took the opportunity to put the fish back.

But just because this man doesn't want it doesn't mean that others don't want it either.

The next moment, a middle-aged man who looked well-dressed walked over: "How do you sell this mandarin fish?" ”

"Two yuan a piece, if you have cloth stamps, food stamps, and meat stamps, these can be deducted according to the price." Zhang Ze also wanted to try his luck when he raised the ticket.

Although most tickets will be basically useless in another two years, this will still be a hot thing.

You can't use it for money, but you need it to buy things.

In fact, there are also special inversions of this thing in the black market, each of which has a market price, and if the customer exchanges it with a ticket, he is naturally willing.
