Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 287 A great harvest
Liu Lijuan originally wanted to follow behind, but after taking a look at her pregnant belly, she had no choice but to run to the door of the temporary office of the Dongfanghong Farmers’ Market to call for help.

When Zhou Chuanxiong heard that Boss Wu was hiding in the farmers' market, he rushed to the alley without saying a word.

However, there was no sign of Liu Qingsong and Boss Wu in the alley. There were only a few wild dogs fighting over a maggot-infested bone.

Zhou Chuanxiong had no choice but to run towards the southeast street.

But Liu Qingsong followed Boss Wu and appeared in front of a blue brick house in the northwest.

This blue brick house covers a very large area, several times larger than the ordinary houses around it.

Liu Qingsong thought that Boss Wu would push the door and walk in, but unexpectedly, Boss Wu suddenly turned around and looked at him: "Young man, have you followed enough?"

"So you've already discovered me!" Liu Qingsong smiled.

"It wasn't me who discovered you, but my subordinates." Boss Wu folded his arms, with a playful look on his face.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen young men armed with sticks appeared around him.

Some of these young men had hunting rifles on their shoulders, and you could tell at a glance that they were not good people.

But Liu Qingsong was not afraid at all. After taking a look at these young people, he asked Boss Wu: "You are a fugitive now. Is it really okay to be so arrogant?"

"Hahaha...what's wrong with this? Don't you think that those useless police officers in Dayu City can catch me?" Boss Wu laughed loudly, with a hint of pride in his laughter: "Young man, you should worry about your own safety!"

"I know I'm in danger now, but before your people take action, can I ask you a few questions?" Liu Qingsong asked softly.

"Go ahead and ask! This is the first time I've seen a young man as courageous as you, so I will fulfill your last wish before you die." Boss Wu saw that the roads around Liu Qingsong were blocked by his people, so he agreed without thinking too much.

"Okay, first question." Liu Qingsong said slowly: "Who told you that Wang Jianjun had wild Ganoderma lucidum?"

"Li Zhongkui." Boss Wu replied.

"Li Zhongkui???" Liu Qingsong was very surprised.

For him, this person could be Liu Yi, Liu Quan, or Wang Xinyu, but how could it be Li Zhongkui? After all, no matter what, Wang Jianjun is Li Zhongkui's brother-in-law, and it is impossible for him to do such a thing.

If Boss Wu wanted to deal with him perfunctorily, he had chosen the wrong person.

Boss Wu looked at Liu Qingsong and smiled: "Don't be surprised! Li Zhongkui helped call Liu Yi's mother and asked her and her relatives and friends to raise money to buy Ganoderma lucidum to save him. My people were there and happened to hear it."

"Is that so?" Liu Qingsong suddenly realized.

In this way, Wang Jianjun's death was not unjust, because he was targeted by a desperate criminal like Boss Wu from the beginning, but Wang Jianjun and Li Zhongkui didn't know it.

"Second question." Liu Qingsong came back to his senses and asked, "Since your people have taken back the money from selling wild Ganoderma lucidum, why did you kill Wang Jianjun?"

If he were Boss Wu.

I would never do such a thankless task even if I were beaten to death.

"Because the wild Ganoderma lucidum in Wang Jianjun's hands originally belonged to me." Boss Wu replied coldly: "Wang Jianjun tricked me into taking it away back then, and I spent five years in prison. I will naturally take revenge when I have the chance."

"What?" Liu Qingsong was stunned. This Wang Jianjun was so powerful? He even dared to cheat Boss Wu of his wild Ganoderma lucidum?

"Young man! You have learned everything you shouldn't know, so just get on with your journey!" Boss Wu seemed unwilling to say too much to Liu Qingsong, and he waved his hand to let the dozen or so young people surrounding Liu Qingsong take action.

Liu Qingsong frowned as he watched this scene.

Seeing a young man swinging a stick at him, he jumped up and kicked him, then took out an electric baton from his invisible space backpack and started fighting with the other young men who were rushing towards him.

Boss Wu thought Liu Qingsong was going to die.

After sneering, he turned and walked into the blue brick house behind him.

Before he walked into the gate, a young man behind him hit the gate. With a thud, the heavy door fell to the ground.

This horrified Boss Wu. He turned around and found that more than a dozen of his men had all fallen down, and some were still twitching.

"This...this..." Boss Wu was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly, then turned around and ran into the blue brick house.

Liu Qingsong followed quickly behind.

After entering the blue brick house, I found that the winnowing baskets inside were filled with various precious Chinese medicinal materials.

Boss Wu stumbled into the main room, took out a double-barreled shotgun and pointed it at Liu Qingsong with a grin: "Go to hell!"

There was a bang.

Liu Qingsong did not fall down, but Boss Wu was shot.

It turned out that Liu Qingsong took out the American shield and directly bounced the bullet back.

Boss Wu looked at his slowly reddening abdomen in astonishment. He staggered two steps before collapsing on the ground. "Who... who are you?"

"Does this matter?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"I...I..." Boss Wu only felt his breathing quicken, then his eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.

Liu Qingsong originally wanted to leave immediately, but after thinking about it, he quickly walked into the main room behind Boss Wu.

In the main room, various precious Chinese medicinal materials are piled up, including ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum and so on.

Liu Qingsong was surprised at this scene, and saw that there were many Chinese medicinal herbs in the inner room, so he walked in to check.

You don't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it.

In the wooden box under the bed, he actually found nine processed wild Ganoderma lucidum, and judging from the color and texture, they all seemed to come from the Pepper Cliff of Tiger Mountain.

After Liu Qingsong realized what was happening, he directly put all the wild Ganoderma lucidum and other precious Chinese medicinal materials into his space backpack.

He didn't leave until the inner room and the main room were empty to report the case to his eldest sister.

More than ten minutes later, Zhou Bin hurried over with two police officers.

After understanding the situation with Liu Qingsong, he rushed directly to the blue brick house.

Liu Qingsong didn't care about what happened next, because his second sister had already helped deliver all the supplies needed for the funeral to the gate of the farmers' market.

After discussing with Zhou Chuanxiong, Liu Qingsong went to find a tractor to transport the supplies.

After packing everything and paying the money, Liu Qingsong said goodbye to his second sister and drove his sidecar tricycle with Liu Chunhua to the Huaishu production team.

Half an hour later, Liu Qingsong parked the three-wheeler in front of the gate of Pangdun's house, and then took Liu Chunhua to the backyard to find Mr. Jiang.

After learning the purpose of Liu Qingsong and Liu Chunhua's visit, Mr. Jiang smiled and took Liu Chunhua's pulse.

After a moment, he stroked his beard and smiled, "Chunhua, your pulse is normal, and the baby in your belly is healthy. Don't listen to the nonsense of those quacks."

"Is my pulse really normal?" Liu Chunhua was extremely excited.

"Really." Mr. Jiang confirmed.

"That's great." Liu Chunhua cried with joy.

"Sister, why are you crying for no reason?" Liu Qingsong felt a headache when he saw her. "Stop crying now. It's not good for the baby in your belly."

"Oh, right! You haven't visited Xiao Nuomi for a while. Why don't you go see her today?"

"Okay! Okay!" Liu Chunhua thanked Mr. Jiang, turned around and left.

Liu Qingsong did not follow, but took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and briefly told Mr. Jiang about his previous encounter with Boss Wu at the Dongfanghong Farmers' Market.

Of course, he did not tell anyone about the inside story of storing the prepared wild Ganoderma lucidum and other precious Chinese medicinal materials into the space backpack, nor did he tell Mr. Jiang about the use of the electric baton and Captain America's shield. After all, these were all secrets.

Old Jiang stroked his beard and listened quietly.

Wait until Liu Qingsong finishes speaking.

The old man sighed and said, "It seems that Wang Jianjun's death was not unjust, but it's a pity for this wild Ganoderma lucidum. Otherwise, I could have saved a few more people who needed to be saved."

"Grandpa, do you really need wild Ganoderma lucidum now?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"Yes, it is necessary." Old Jiang sighed.

"Then I'll find some time to go to Tiger Mountain." Liu Qingsong said.

"No! No! Don't take people to Tiger Mountain just for me." Jiang Lao stopped Liu Qingsong after hearing this: "If something unexpected happens, I will live in guilt for the rest of my life, just like Zhou Mazi."

“So it’s better to just go with the flow.”

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong nodded.

He originally wanted to use the excuse of going to Tiger Mountain to give the wild Ganoderma lucidum that the little eagle brought back to Grandpa Jiang, but now Grandpa Jiang wouldn't let him, so he would have to find another opportunity later. After chatting with Grandpa Jiang for a few more words, Liu Qingsong said goodbye and went home for dinner.

In the main room, Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei, Xiao Taoqi, Pangdun, Wang Ba and Ye Xiaoxiao gathered together to watch Naruto.

Liu Chunhua was also watching, and was fascinated by it.

When she saw Liu Qingsong coming back, she asked, "Qingsong, which channel is the one that plays cartoons in your house? Why can't my TV play it?"

"Ask Xiao Nuomi about this! She should know." Liu Qingsong smiled and said perfunctorily, then went to the kitchen to eat.

When Liu Chunhua heard Liu Qingsong say this, she even asked about Xiao Nuomi.

As a result, little Nuomi knew nothing about anything and was extremely impatient.

This made Liu Chunhua very helpless. She had no choice but to stop asking questions and continue watching Naruto.

In the kitchen, Liu Qingsong saw some leftovers, so he took a bowl and chopsticks and ate some, then went to the backyard to feed the chickens and pigs.

Just as he was about to carry the shoveled pig manure into the vegetable greenhouse, he heard Li Fenfen's crisp voice outside: "Qingsong, Qingsong...are you home?"

"Here!" Liu Qingsong brushed off the dust on his body and hurried towards the door.

At the gate, Li Fenfen, who was in mourning, saw Liu Qingsong coming out, and together with the burly Li Dawei and another hunchbacked man behind her, they went to greet him.

The hunchbacked man looked to be in his early 40s, with a white cloth tied around his waist. His skin was very dark, and compared to Li Fenfen, he looked like an African.

Li Fenfen knew that Liu Qingsong didn't know this hunchbacked man, so after approaching him, she immediately introduced him: "Qingsong, this is Uncle Dakang, my aunt's family. He came here this time to ask for your help in purchasing the supplies needed for the funeral at the Dongfanghong Farmers' Market."

The reason why they found Liu Qingsong was because Liu Qingsong's second sister Liu Lijuan was the manager of the Dongfanghong Farmers' Market, which gave them a unique advantage. In addition to being able to buy related materials at a lower price, they also did not need tickets.

"Thank you for your help." The hunchbacked man, Wang Dakang, agreed without waiting for Liu Qingsong's response.

"This is a small matter." Liu Qingsong did not say anything more for Li Fenfen's sake: "Are you going to go buy the materials needed for the funeral later, or go early tomorrow morning?"

"I'll go there soon." Wang Dakang replied.

"What about the list of purchased materials?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"Here." Wang Dakang took out the shopping list and handed it to Liu Qingsong.

Liu Qingsong took it and took a look at it: "How about this! You come with me to Zhou Mazi's house. They just brought back the materials needed for the funeral this morning. If the tractor is still there, you can take the tractor to the Dongfanghong Farmers' Market together."

"That's the best." Wang Dakang replied.

"No... Who died in Zhou Mazi's family?" Li Fenfen asked in surprise.

"Himself." Liu Qingsong replied with a long sigh.

"What?" Li Fenfen was surprised.

"Let's go! I'll tell you slowly on the way." Liu Qingsong smiled bitterly.

"Okay! Okay!" Li Fenfen nodded repeatedly.

Liu Qingsong said something to Liu Chunhua who was watching TV, and went to Zhou Mazi's house with Li Fenfen, Li Dawei and Wang Dakang.

On the way, he briefly told Li Fenfen why Zhou Mazi died.

After Li Fenfen understood what she said, she sighed: "Qingsong, according to what you said, it was Liu Yi and Wang Jianjun who harmed Zhou Mazi."

"Yeah." Liu Qingsong nodded.

"You can't say that. If Zhou Mazi wasn't greedy for money, how could he have died in Tiger Mountain?" Wang Dakang disagreed with Li Fenfen and suddenly expressed his own opinion.

This opinion made Liu Qingsong frown.

I was about to open my mouth to retort.

But Li Fenfen stopped him with her eyes.

Liu Qingsong had no choice but to keep quiet about Zhou Mazi.

Soon, a group of four arrived at the gate of Zhou Mazi's house.

As Liu Qingsong expected, the tractor transporting the supplies had not returned yet, and the driver was sitting at the eight-immortal table and having dinner with the Zhou family.

When Zhou Chuanxiong saw Liu Qingsong coming, he quickly ran over and said, "Captain Liu, have you had lunch? If not, sit down and eat something."

"I ate it." Liu Qingsong replied, and then explained his purpose to Zhou Chuanxiong.

After Zhou Chuanxiong understood, he immediately helped to call the driver and brought Liu Qingsong a pack of good cigarettes.

Liu Qingsong originally wanted to turn it down, but Zhou Chuanxiong insisted on giving it to him, so he had no choice but to accept it, and then opened it and gave it to the villagers who were helping there.

After chatting for a while, he was about to take Li Fenfen back to drive the sidecar to the Dongfanghong Farmer's Market, but Wang Dakang suddenly reached out to stop him: "Captain Liu, I'm not going to the Dongfanghong Farmer's Market. I plan to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the supplies needed for the funeral."

"What do you mean?" Liu Qingsong frowned.

Li Fenfen and Li Dawei were also a little confused.

"My meaning is very simple." Wang Dakang smiled awkwardly, and then took the list of materials Zhou Chuanxiong had purchased earlier. "You are asking for 38 cents per pound of sugar, and 19 cents per pound of flour. If I remember correctly, the supply and marketing cooperative only charges 29 cents for sugar, and 12 cents for flour."

"It's so much more expensive to go to the Dongfanghong Farmer's Market, why should I go?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the villagers who were helping could not help but whisper among themselves.

"Is this true? The sugar and flour at the supply and marketing cooperative are actually cheaper than those at the farmer's market?"

"It should be correct, otherwise he wouldn't say that."

"So it seems that our Captain Liu got a lot of benefits when purchasing funeral supplies this time, otherwise the price difference between the two wouldn't be so big."

"If that's the case, then Captain Liu is too shameless."

"Yes! Yes! You even dare to take money from a dead person."

……

The villagers' gossip became increasingly harsh.

In the end, Zhou Chuanxiong couldn't stand it anymore: "Shut up, Captain Liu is not a shameless person. There must be a reason why the sugar and flour are so much more expensive."

"Then tell me why?" Wang Dakang asked with a smile, "I'll tell you the truth! Not only are sugar and flour more expensive on your list, but pork is also 1.3 cents more expensive, and red dates, soybeans and other mountain products are almost 5 cents more expensive."

"Don't be fooled by Liu Qingsong."

“I often shop for supplies.”

“You can’t go wrong with this price.”

Zhou Chuanxiong: “…”

"Are you sure the price you said is correct?" Liu Qingsong's face also darkened.

Li Fenfen was also on the verge of exploding. If Li Dawei hadn't held her back, she would have cursed at this moment.

"Of course I am sure." Wang Dakang replied.

"Then do you dare to go with me to the supply and marketing cooperative to ask for prices?" Liu Qingsong suggested.

What this meant was obviously that he trusted his second sister unconditionally.

"Why should I be afraid of that? I tell you..." Before Wang Dakang could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by the tractor driver: "Can you shut up? The prices of these materials you mentioned were the market price last month. Do you know how much they have increased this month?"

"I...I..." Wang Dakang couldn't answer.

He didn't help with purchasing supplies this month, so how would he know how much the price had increased?
"What do you mean by 'I'? I'm nothing." The tractor driver glared at Wang Dakang and said, "Let me tell you this! The price of the materials that Manager Liu purchased for the Zhou family will be at least 10% cheaper, and some will be 50% cheaper."

"You actually said that the products sold at the supply and marketing cooperatives are cheaper than those sold at the farmers' market. Are you out of your mind? Don't you know that many of the products sold at the supply and marketing cooperatives are purchased from the farmers' market?"

"This...how is this possible?" Wang Dakang was stunned.

"Hmph! Nothing is impossible, believe it or not." The tractor driver said and went back to continue eating: "Anyway, I don't want to do your business today, go back to where you came from."

"Good! Very good!" Wang Dakang nodded, turned around and walked away angrily pushing the 28-inch bicycle.
