Rebirth 1983: The counterattack started from hunting in the mountains

Zhang Yaoyang took a deep breath, handed over the small piece of fox skin, and tried his best to make his voice sound calm and professional.

"This fox fur is in good condition. It's worth a hundred dollars according to the market price. But since you look kind, I'll give it to you!"

Lin Yue frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he said lightly: "We are not related, so I dare not take advantage of you so much. It's just a price. Hurry up and name a price! I am sincere in buying it."

Zhang Yaoyang smiled bitterly in his heart. If it were in the past, he would have agreed without hesitation. But at this moment, the bargaining process made him feel mixed emotions.

Finally, he nodded: "Okay, then give me twenty."

This was not the first time Lin Yue bought fur, so she said, "Do you know how to do business? White fur is rarer than yellow fur, and yours does not have any stray hairs. It is at least two to three times more expensive than ordinary fox fur."

"Okay, I don't want to be accused of bullying you. Here's 60 yuan, keep it."

Lin Yue paid the money, took the fox skin, turned around and was about to leave.

Zhang Yaoyang looked at her back and shouted as if possessed by a ghost: "Lin... Yue!"

Lin Yue paused and turned back in confusion: "Do you know me?"

Zhang Yaoyang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but felt that it was all in vain. In the end, he just shook his head and said, "I recognized the wrong person. Sorry."

A hint of suspicion flashed across Lin Yue's eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions and turned away.

Erzhu was watching all this and couldn't help asking, "Boss, what's wrong with you? Do you know that girl?"

Zhang Yaoyang did not answer, but just packed up his stall in silence.

After a long time, he finally spoke: "Let's go, let's continue to the fur shop."

After the three of them sold out all the furs, Zhang Yaoyang wanted to investigate this place to see if there were any special things that he could take to the southern cities to sell, so he started wandering around the city.

By the way, you can also get to know the customs and culture of this city, various cultural landscapes, etc.

On this day, they came to an old temple street where a lively temple fair was being held.

The temple fair was bustling with people, and there were all kinds of snacks and acrobatics.

The beggar uncle's condition seemed to be fluctuating due to his contact with people during this period. Zhang Yaoyang watched the lively temple fair and spent some money to buy a tape recorder to divert his attention.

Sure enough, as a result, the beggar uncle was so busy listening to songs and various radio news that he had no time to pay attention to these people.

Zhang Yaoyang and Erzhu took him to stroll around the temple fair and unknowingly came to a stall selling folk handicrafts.

The stalls are filled with brightly colored paper-cuts, exquisite wood carvings and lifelike clay figurines, all of which are local specialties, but one can only watch them for fun; this business is not very profitable, and Zhang Yaoyang is unlikely to invest in it.

Zhang Yaoyang was looking around casually when suddenly a familiar figure came into his sight—it was Lin Yue again.

She was concentrating on selecting a wood carving, which was an exquisite statue of a lady, carved very lifelike.

Zhang Yaoyang subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but Lin Yue raised his head at this moment, and their eyes met again.

This time, Lin Yue's eyes no longer had the alienation and disgust from before, but instead had a hint of surprise: "You again? What a coincidence."

Zhang Yaoyang forced a smile: "Yeah, what a coincidence."

Lin Yue seemed very satisfied with the wood carving. After paying, he started chatting with Zhang Yaoyang again: "Why are you here? You don't look like a local."

Zhang Yaoyang briefly talked about his travels, and Lin Yue listened carefully, occasionally asking some questions.

Just then, there was a sudden noise in the temple fair.

It turned out that a child was lost in the crowd, and the child's parents were shouting anxiously, their voices full of worry.

Zhang Yaoyang said to Erzhu without thinking, "Take good care of uncle. I'll go help look for him."

After saying that, he disappeared into the crowd.

Lin Yue looked at his back, hesitated for a moment, and followed him.

The two searched everywhere in the crowded crowd, leaving no corner unsearched.

Finally, the child was found in front of a stall selling candied haws.

The child's parents thanked them profusely. Zhang Yaoyang and Lin Yue smiled at each other. At that moment, the distance between them seemed to have been shortened a lot.

The feeling was indescribably magical, as though it was only their second meeting, they seemed to be able to chat with each other easily.

But neither of them is the kind of person who is very good at socializing. On the contrary, they are both reserved and introverted in private.

After this incident, Lin Yue's attitude towards Zhang Yaoyang changed greatly. She took the initiative to invite Zhang Yaoyang to visit the famous attractions in the city.

Zhang Yaoyang was a little hesitant, but finally agreed.

In the following time, Zhang Yaoyang and Lin Yue visited the city's famous attractions together.

They strolled through the old shops, where the mottled displays told of the vicissitudes of time;

Walking through the quiet ancient alleys, the stone pavement under your feet seems to be whispering stories of the past.

Every scenery becomes particularly vivid because of each other's company.

Finally, they came to an observation deck on the top of a mountain.

Standing on the stage, with the breeze blowing on your face, you can take in the entire city. The mountains in the distance are rolling and blending into the skyline; the buildings in the city are scattered and orderly, and the busy streets are full of fireworks.

Lin Yue pointed excitedly into the distance and introduced those iconic buildings and interesting places to Zhang Yaoyang, occasionally interspersed with some funny things that happened here when she was a child.

Zhang Yaoyang listened with a smile, responding from time to time, his eyes full of tenderness.

However, good times are always short-lived.

Lin Yue’s family came.

Lin Yue's parents looked anxious and dissatisfied, and walked towards them quickly.

Father Lin had a stern face and questioned in his tone: "Yueyue, where have you been? Everyone in the family is going crazy!"

Lin Yue was startled by this sudden questioning and stammered, "Dad, Mom, I... I just came out for a walk."

Mother Lin's eyes fell on Zhang Yaoyang. After looking him up and down, her brows twisted into a knot: "Who is this? Why are you with him?"

Lin Yue subconsciously hid behind Zhang Yaoyang and whispered, "He is Zhang Yaoyang, my friend."

Father Lin snorted coldly: "Friend? He is a person of unknown origin. You should not associate with him."

Zhang Yaoyang stepped forward and greeted them politely: "Hello, uncle and auntie, Lin Yue and I just met by chance and are here to visit this city together."

Father Lin didn't listen to his explanation at all. He just pulled Lin Yue's arm and said, "Come home with us. Don't hang around here."

Lin Yue struggled and looked at Zhang Yaoyang, her eyes full of reluctance: "I...I don't want to go back."

Seeing this, Lin's mother softened her tone a little: "Yueyue, you also know that your family has arranged so many things for you. You running around like this makes us worry more."

Lin Yue bit her lip, her eyes reddened: "I don't want to be arranged by you, I want to live my own life."
