Lu Xuan originally had some thoughts in his mind, but after listening to the whispers of the person next to him, those thoughts gradually disappeared.

There was also a serious look between his brows: "Really?"

Shen Wu made up a story that was 70% true and 30% false. The false part mainly concealed Long Yujiao. She even told the truth about the snake. However, when Lu Xuan asked her about it, she did not feel guilty.

Nodding: "It's at Xu Yin's place, not with me. She's worried about me."

In fact, Shen Wu was afraid of being discovered if she hid with her, so she hid with Xu Yin. Xu Yin was good at boxing and kicking, and ordinary people couldn't get close to her.

"The back mountain is dangerous. Call me next time. Grass snakes are fine, but I'm afraid of poisonous snakes." After saying that, Lu Xuan rubbed her long hair and said, "I'm going to look for Lao Si."

Shen Wu found that he especially liked to touch her hair and tidy up her messy hair. She felt inexplicably excited thinking about going to the black market that the heroines in novels loved to go to.

Lu Xuan came out quickly and came back quickly.

After closing the bedroom door, he lowered his voice and asked, "You didn't tell anyone about the ginseng you found in the back mountain, did you?"

Shen Wu nodded: "No, only Xu Yin and I know about it. We sell it together and share the money. She won't tell anyone else."

Lu Xuan looked outside: "It's still early, let's talk about it later at night."

There is not much entertainment now, but it is hot, so there are some people who go out for a walk and chat. The probability of being discovered at this time is high. Although Shen Wu was excited, she still listened to Lu Xuan and nodded obediently.

It was boring to be idle, so Shen Wu got up to clean up their small room. The Lu family was large, so her and Lu Xuan's room was not big, but it was a blue brick and tile house. There was a chest of drawers next to the bed, and a wardrobe more than one meter tall made by a carpenter. In the village, their family was considered to be very well-off.

While Shen Wu was cleaning, Lu Xuan was not idle either.

Take out the clothes and wash them.

He was strong and washed quickly. He shook the clothes a few times and hung them up to dry. When he entered the room, he saw Shen Wu taking a book out of the cabinet.

Just as she was about to look through it, Lu Xuan thought of something and his face turned red.

"Don't open it!"

When Shen Wu heard his voice, she subconsciously came back to her senses and her eyes fell on the book again. Before she could see it clearly, it was taken away by a big hand.

Lu Xuan looked a little uncomfortable: "This is not the book you are studying."

But he took the book and hid it behind his back, mysteriously. Shen Wu frowned: "What book? You are not hiding any foreign novels at home, are you? If people find out..."

"No." Lu Xuan decisively denied: "It's not a book that you are not allowed to read."

Shen Wu stared at him with a bit of doubt in her eyes: "Really?"

Lu Xuan nodded: "Really."

No matter how interested Shen Wu was in the book, Lu Xuan was determined not to let her read it. Shen Wu circled around him, but he held the book high and she couldn't reach it.

In the end, he was picked up with one arm and pressed onto the bed.

After a while, the man didn't know where to hide the thing: "What on earth is it? It makes you so stingy."

"Are we still not one family, Third Brother?"

……

No matter whether Shen Wu was acting coquettishly or doing pua, the man just didn't respond. Instead, he quietly cleaned the parts of the house that she hadn't cleaned and put things in order.

In today's society, you can't let anyone find out if you go to the black market. If someone reports you, you'll be in big trouble.

It was after twelve o'clock that Lu Xuan quietly went out.

It came back not long after.

He gave Shen Wu a look. Shen Wu was fully equipped and changed into an old black and blue set of clothes. She also brought an extra piece of clothing, ready to cover her face.

Shen Wu had seen the car that Lu Xuan drove over.

It was the old man’s car that Lu Ye rode in that day. He hung a carrot in front of the donkey, and the donkey chased the carrot without even braying.

at night.

The village was dark and quiet everywhere, with only the faint sound of wheels rolling over the ground and the sound of breathing. This silence made people nervous.

Only after leaving Laoya Village did Shen Wu breathe a sigh of relief.

Pointing at the donkey in front of him, he said, "Aren't you afraid that I will find out about this?"

Lu Xuan didn't say anything, but Lu Ye lowered his voice and said, "This donkey is stupid. Just give it a handful of fodder and it will trick you out."

"puff!"

As Lu Ye spoke, the donkey stopped and sneezed violently.

In the quiet night, the sound is particularly loud.

"Oh, ancestor, I was wrong! Just walk carefully... There is no donkey in our village smarter than you who can give yourself extra food."

Just when Shen Wu was questioning whether this would work, the donkey really left.

Shen Wu...

Lu Xuan whispered: "Don't listen to his nonsense."

"Uncle Zhou, the rickshaw driver, came to Laoya Village to beg for food when he was young. He had a hard life. He never got married and had no relatives or friends here. Ten years ago, he picked up a child in the back mountain and raised him. Now that he is old, he doesn't get many work points and his life is not easy. Every time I use the rickshaw, I will leave some money or food, and Uncle Zhou turns a blind eye to my use of the rickshaw." After all, there is no benefit in reporting it.

"Does he know that it was you who used it?" Shen Wu was curious.

Lu Xuan shook his head: "Not sure, I guess I know, but I tried it before and didn't find anything."

Shen Wu thought of the old man from last time: "This old man is also a smart man."

He said and yawned.

Lu Xuan leaned his arm towards her without leaving any trace: "If you feel sleepy, take a nap first."

"I'm not sleepy." But Shen Wu still leaned on Lu Xuan and looked up at the sky. There were no lights at this time, only a small flashlight that Lu Ye used when he was driving. But when she looked up, she could see many stars, which was rare in cities in later generations.

It takes nearly an hour by donkey cart to reach the county town.

We parked the donkey cart some distance away from the black market and fed the donkeys some food and water.

Both Lu Xuan and Lu Ye wore hats to cover their faces, and Shen Wu followed suit by holding a piece of clothing.

Xu Yin frowned, but seeing Shen Wu doing this, she might as well follow her example.

The two of them were wrapped so tightly that only their eyes were exposed. They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

This black market is in a forest. Because it is at night, the shadows of the trees are swaying and people are quietly coming and going. Most of the people who come here will disguise themselves so that others cannot see them, so some people call this place a ghost market.

This is a place that heroines in period novels love to come to. Many heroines have space and make a lot of money by selling things. What Shen Wu envies most is the golden finger of others who bring food and space.

But they are all the heroines, there are no weird supporting roles like her.

Shen Wu complained in her heart. She and Xu Yin looked at everything curiously. It was obvious that Lu Xuan and Lu Ye were not here for the first time. They went straight to a vendor who bought these things.

I couldn't see his face, but he looked like a fat man.

Seeing Lu Ye take out something, the whole person became excited: "What a good thing! Where did you get this?"

Lu Xuan coughed when he heard this.

The chubby man immediately laughed awkwardly: "Blame me for being too talkative. This isn't the first time we've worked together. How about thirty bucks?"

"You know, this is the most straightforward bid I've made."

What a joke. Shen Wu remembered that in the book, Long Yujiao was sold for fifty yuan. Moreover, it was mentioned later that she lost money because an important character used her money.
