The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature
Chapter 19 Being targeted
Xu Xixi tried to open her eyes wide, which were only slits from crying. In the middle grid, a bunch of strawberries were put in, but what was put in the grid below? It seemed like a piece of torn paper?
Could it be that the other party was unhappy with my exchange of a strawberry seedling for a large bundle of soybean seedlings in the morning, and wanted to use waste paper to make up the difference?
But if I trade a strawberry seedling to the other party, and the other party gives me these strawberries in return, what does that mean? Tell me that the other party doesn't need strawberries? Should I trade something else next time?
But no matter what, the quality of the other party's soybeans was too high, and I was indeed taking advantage of them by trading them for strawberry seedlings that cost five yuan a pot.
Xu Xixi thought about it, went out of the space, walked around the house, and finally picked out two bottles of wine in the cabinet.
The wine was brought by relatives when they visited our house in the past, and has been kept in the cabinet for at least ten years. Since no one in the family drinks it, I will give it to the other side as compensation.
The two bottles of wine were placed in two grids respectively, and confirmation was clicked on this side, and soon the other side also confirmed it. The screen flashed with colorful lights. After the light dissipated, a small pile of strawberries and the torn paper appeared on the ground in the space.
Without looking at the strawberries covered with mud, Xu Xixi picked up the paper first. After just one glance, her pair of single phoenix eyes widened into almond-shaped eyes.
With this familiar font and this tentative tone, she was 100% sure that the person doing business with her was her missing best friend.
Woo, that’s great. Although she doesn’t know where Huahua is now, she knows that she is still alive and well. Her heart finally doesn’t hurt so much. But she still wants to cry. Why?
Wiping away tears, Xu Xixi took out a pen and paper and started writing quickly while crying. She wanted to write down her worries and thoughts over the past few days, to tell Huahua that everything was fine and not to worry. But she was afraid of wasting too much time, and Huahua kept waiting there, so she only wrote one sentence in the end: Huahua, I am Xixi, I am fine! Are you okay?
After reading just a few short sentences, some parts of her eyes were wet with tears. Xu Xixi choked up and pushed the paper against the screen.
One line, two lines, three lines... The paper is still in my hand, and the grid on the screen is still gray.
Could it be that it doesn’t work anymore? Xu Xixi tried a few more times, and finally had to accept the fact that the grid didn’t work. It seemed that these trading grids could only be used once a day. She hoped that they would be restored tomorrow, otherwise where would she go to find her best friend?
She will stay in the space tonight and will not go out. She must contact Huahua as soon as possible.
Looking at the watch, it was just past nine o'clock. While there was still time, Xu Xixi decided to write a long letter and make sure Huahua could feel her longing as soon as the trading function of the grid was restored!
Xu Xixi was writing furiously with a pen in her hand. It was the first time she had written so many words since graduation. Hua Jindong, who had received two bottles of wine, was pacing back and forth in her space, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Ever since she became best friends with Xu Xixi, she could be said to have lived in the Xu family for a while because Xu's parents were on business trips all year round.
She is familiar with the furnishings that have been there in the Xu family's home all year round. On one of the bottles of wine, there is a picture of a little man covering his abdomen. According to Xixi, she drew that picture when she was a child because she was naughty and didn't want her father to learn to drink. She wanted to remind her father Xu that drinking alcohol would damage the liver.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu will not be back for at least two months after they go abroad. Apart from Xixi, there will be no one else who can use these two bottles of wine from the Xu family for trading.
Hua Rendong regretted not writing down her situation on paper so that Xixi would know her current situation. She wondered how anxious Xixi would be when she recognized that the words on the paper were written by her.
Looking at the watch, there are still more than two hours until tomorrow. Regardless of whether the trading screen will be restored tomorrow, she must prepare to contact Xixi as soon as possible.
After calming herself down, Hua Rendong took out her diary and pen. Her excited heart and trembling hands could not stop her from telling Xixi about her adventures and current situation.
Little did she know that someone in Xinshi had already set their sights on her.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep, but the lights were on in the Municipal Bureau office. Director Fang Haibin looked solemn as he summarized the day's work to his subordinates who were sitting in front of him.
After arresting three bastards and finding a box of dangerous goods, they knew that they were going to create chaos during the May Day Commendation Conference in two months and take the opportunity to steal the city's important secrets.
But they could not find out who their superior was or who the participants were. They even had no idea who had rescued their comrades and how they had been rescued from them, or how the letter of denunciation had been delivered to them.
Especially after interrogating the three people separately, we know that there are more than a dozen boxes of dangerous goods, but only one box was found in the basement. Where did the other dozen boxes go? If we don't find out, it will always be a huge rock hanging over our heads, and we don't know when it will suddenly fall down.
Director Fang spoke solemnly, and the people sitting below were at a loss as well. The case seemed to be solved, but also seemed not to be completely solved.
The bearded man whom Hua Rendong had seen during the day sat next to the director until the director finished his summary, issued a few instructions, and announced the adjournment of the meeting with a heavy expression. The bearded man stood up and followed his comrades out, but was stopped by Director Fang.
"Don't leave so quickly. Tell me what you think about this matter."
The bearded man lazily sat back in his chair. "Look with your eyes! I really didn't see the messenger. I don't even know how the letter was delivered to my feet. If Director Fang wants to ask me where those dangerous goods went, I am just like Director Fang, completely in the dark! This time, Xiao Feng and Xiao Chu came to Xinshi to assist in the investigation because our comrade disappeared while performing a mission here. Now that our comrade has been found, Director Fang will arrange the rest."
Upon hearing this, Director Fang stared at the bearded man for a while and said unhappily, "Listen to my instructions? If I really make the arrangements, don't give up on me!"
The bearded man stood up straight and saluted: "I promise to complete the mission!"
Director Fang was so angry that he laughed, "Are you pretending to obey again? I watched you grow up, not your leaders who let you fool them."
The bearded man sat back in his chair and shrugged indifferently, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
Director Fang chuckled twice, motioned for the bearded man to come closer, whispered a few words to him, and seeing that the bearded man looked reluctant, he glared at him and said, "Do you really think I don't know what you have found out? I'm not trying to snatch the person from you. If you keep on being so fussy, how about I send someone to bring that female comrade back to the bureau? I don't believe that I can't get any information from you this way."
The bearded man pointed at Director Fang, as if to say that he was shameless. Director Fang also imitated him and leaned lazily on the back of his chair, staring at the bearded man with a nonchalant smile.
After a while, the bearded man had no choice but to compromise.
After a lot of back and forth, we finally reached a consensus!
