Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

For the next two days, Yan Jiecheng wandered around the front yard intentionally or unintentionally. His thoughts were simple; he just wanted to go fishing with Lin Donglai.

Lin Donglai has made good money during this period. If nothing unexpected happens, he will not have to worry about food and drink for the next six months, so he is not in a hurry to go fishing or anything like that.

When he had some free time, he always thought of the black soil in the space. It was a pity to leave such fertile land empty, so he had to plant something in it.

This was an era of strict ticket requirements. Almost everything needed a ticket. It was not easy to buy some seeds. I originally thought of going to the steel mill to ask for some seed tickets to purchase them.

Unexpectedly, Lin Donglai went to the supply and marketing cooperative for two consecutive days but didn't see any seeds for sale. When he asked, he found out that they had been out of stock for a long time.

After he bought some rice, flour and meat and went home, he went back to buy some coal briquettes and took them home. In the past, he had to go into the mountains to chop firewood because he didn't have the conditions. Now that he has the conditions, of course he does whatever is easiest.

After finishing all these things, Lin Donglai remembered that he had forgotten to buy shoes for his sister. After a short rest, he took the money and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Seeing that it was Lin Donglai who came in again, the salesperson was a little surprised. After taking out the shoes, he asked, "Young man, you must have made a fortune. You bought a lot of things this morning."

Lin Donglai just smiled and nodded, and spent more than ten yuan to buy a bunch of things. The most expensive one was a pair of cloth shoes for his sister, which cost five yuan. In his opinion, it was a good deal.

When the little girl comes home from school and sees her new shoes, she will probably jump for joy. Thinking of this scene, the corners of his mouth can't help but rise.

As he expected, when his sister saw the new shoes after coming home, she didn't even bother to eat. She put on her new shoes and kept walking around the house, she was so happy.

After lunch, Lin Donglai lay on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, so he simply flashed into the space with his mind.

After walking around the wooden house, I found that the wild boars had grown a lot and were almost catching up with the size of adult wild boars.

What puzzled him was that there were some dark brown things on the grass. When he got closer, he found that they were eggshells. He was a little puzzled because he had no impression of leaving eggs in the space.

Could it be a pheasant's egg? He looked carefully and found that the pheasant had not only laid eggs, but also hatched chicks, which seemed to have been out of the nest for some time.

Lin Donglai was a little surprised and continued to look for hares. He picked up a wooden stick and knocked the ground. Some of the rabbits came out from the grass, and the rest popped their heads out of the black soil.

There were about ten or so wild rabbits of all sizes jumping on the ground, which dazzled him.

At this time, Lin Donglai couldn't help but sigh again, this space is really a treasure.

However, rabbits have too strong a reproductive capacity. If the rate continues, it won’t be long before this piece of black land becomes a rabbit paradise, filled with rabbit holes.

I remember that there were some pine seedlings growing on the ground at first, but they are no longer visible now. It must be the work of these rabbits.

This won't do. He was hoping to plant all the seeds he could after finding them to prepare for the future.

Lin Donglai felt that the most urgent task was to plant something as soon as possible and then deal with some rabbits. Now that he couldn't buy seeds from the supply and marketing cooperative, he had to find another way.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but think of the legendary Pigeon City.

The pigeon market usually starts at 3am and ends at 4am or 5am. It is usually held in a dark alley. There are often small lights or candles on both sides of the stalls. From a distance, it looks like ghost lights floating around, so it is also called the ghost market!

In fact, according to modern terms, this is a large flea market, but it was not legalized due to a special period. After all, in those days, you need money and tickets to buy things, but the Pigeon Market does not require that.

Normally, there will be people patrolling each street and checking strictly, but they usually don't collect anything and mainly focus on dispersing people.

I heard that you can buy things in Pigeon Market that you can’t buy in the supply and marketing cooperatives. This is what interests Lin Donglai the most. He thought that he must go and take a look, just in case he happens to find something useful.

But the Pigeon Market is not easy to find. It is difficult for ordinary people to find it without someone to lead them. It requires some luck and coincidence.

After dinner, my sister washed up and went to bed early. Lin Donglai was wandering around the yard with nothing to do, thinking about his future plans.

At this time, the sound of a man and a woman talking came from the corridor leading to the middle yard from the front yard. The woman asked in a crying voice what to do.

The man's voice sounded a little older, and he said soothingly, "I'll think of a way. I'll go get some tonight. You can come back here at the same time tomorrow night to get it."

The voices of the two men sounded very familiar. Lin Donglai just stepped forward to see what was going on. The two men noticed someone approaching and immediately quieted down and went their separate ways.

Qin Huairu was seen carrying a bulging bag, and walking back to Jia's house dodgingly, as if she was afraid of being seen by others.

The older man quickened his pace and walked in the opposite direction of the Jia family. Looking from behind, it was none other than Yi Zhonghai, the eldest uncle in the courtyard.

In the corridor in the middle of the night, there were two mysterious people, and anyone who cared would think of them.

However, what Lin Donglai was most interested in was not this, but what Yi Zhonghai had just said. He said he wanted to exchange things. Could he be going to Pigeon City?

If this is true, then it really proves the old saying: No matter how hard you try, you still can't find it, but when you get it, it's effortless.

This discovery made Lin Donglai unable to sleep. He decided to keep an eye on Yi Zhonghai to see if he really went to Pigeon City to exchange things.

In order to avoid attracting Yi Zhonghai's attention, he went home and turned off the lights first. After thinking for a while, he put some money in his pocket and stood by the window, observing through a small hole.

The night deepened, and just after three in the morning, Yi Zhonghai, dressed in black and holding a flashlight, tiptoed out of the courtyard gate and headed out of the city.

Seeing this, Lin Donglai also quickly walked out of the courtyard. In order to avoid being discovered, he walked as lightly as possible and kept a distance behind him.

Perhaps thinking that it was the middle of the night and everyone was asleep, no one would notice him, Yi Zhonghai did not even look back along the way, and of course he did not notice that he had a tail behind him.

After leaving the city, Yi Zhonghai took the familiar turns and entered a dark alley, and Lin Donglai couldn't find him.

However, the small lights or candles in front of him were already reminding Lin Donglai that he had arrived at the famous Pigeon Market.

People come and go in the alley, each holding a basket in their hands. People here speak in low voices when they communicate, which makes it seem very mysterious.

Lin Donglai checked carefully and found that there were not only grains, eggs, and mountain products he picked himself, but also some living animals such as rabbits, chickens and ducks.

There were all kinds of tickets, as well as leather shoes that were in great demand at the supply and marketing cooperatives, candies and snacks, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: The Pigeon Market is indeed worthy of its reputation, and I really broadened my horizons tonight.

Just as he was walking and looking around, enjoying the shopping, a sturdy middle-aged man blocked his way...
