On his first night as a substitute bride accompanying the army, the abstinent tycoon dropped his pre

Chapter 13 Shark Skin

Wen Ci put the gold bracelet that was in her bag on her wrist. Rather than keeping it in her bag and worrying about it, she might as well wear it openly on her wrist.

With her skills, even thieves in the 1980s wouldn't have been worried.

The train journey from Beijing to the Northwest takes three days. Wen Ci spent two whole days lying in the sleeper car, almost dying of boredom. The car was filled with the smell of a long journey.

It will take another three hours to reach Haishi in the northwest.

Haishi is the capital city of a province in Northwest China, located in a more remote part of the northwest. After arriving in Haishi, you still need to transfer to a bus for half a day.

Wen Ci suddenly sat up in bed, thinking of her money-making plan: to use her dowry to buy some things from wholesale stores and then resell them!
It used to be called speculation and profiteering.

However, the government gradually relaxed restrictions and encouraged employees to start small businesses.

Wen Ci excitedly told Huo Jingyuan about her plan: "Do you think it can make money?"

Huo Jingyuan shook his head: "No."

The Northwest is different from the South. If Wen Ci had been with the army in the South, her plan to resell the goods would have been incredibly profitable.

The military compound in the Northwest is very far from the city!
Furthermore, apart from military vehicles and a small number of passenger vehicles, no other vehicles are allowed to approach the road leading to the compound; it is considered a restricted area in the northwest.

"Why?" Wen Ci asked, puzzled.

Huo Jingyuan analyzed the situation for Wen Ci from all angles, and Wen Ci sighed softly after listening. She had almost forgotten that she was stationed in the Northwest with the army.

It's approaching noon.

Huo Jingyuan planned to change into his military uniform ahead of time. He took off his civilian clothes, revealing his well-developed abs and tanned chest.

"What are you doing?" Wen Ci asked in shock.

Huo Jingyuan: "Change into military uniform."

Wen Ci: "..."

She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and stared intently at Huo Jingyuan's muscular physique. She coughed guiltily and said, "I'll go get you a boxed lunch." Wen Ci also wanted to watch Huo Jingyuan change into his military uniform.

However, her relationship with Huo Jingyuan was not yet fully developed.

As Wen Ci walked through the seated carriage, he smelled a strong, indescribable stench, and couldn't help but frown, his face full of disgust.

The hard seats on this train were almost full.

The gold bracelet on Wen Ci's wrist was extremely eye-catching, and coupled with Wen Ci's own extremely beautiful appearance, it attracted the attention of many people.

After passing through the hard-seat carriage, Wen Ci arrived at the boxed lunch carriage.

The food on the train was very expensive, costing only 50 cents!
Wen Ci and Huo Jingyuan were caught off guard by the last-minute arrangement and had to take a slow, old-fashioned train overnight, where they could only eat the boxed meals provided on the train every day.

The boxed lunch consisted of two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, an egg.

Wen Ci paid one yuan and took two boxed lunches.

When Wen Ci returned to the sleeper car, she saw several people sneaking around a little girl who must have bought a standing ticket.

A person was squatting in a corner at the junction of the old green train.

Wen Ci walked over in a few steps, saw the daggers at the waists of the men, frowned even more, and shouted, "What do you guys want?"

"Mind your own business!"

Upon hearing the girl's voice, several men turned around and glanced at Wen Ci.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others noticed the gold bracelet on Wen Ci's wrist and the lunchbox he was holding. They reached for their waist and said, "I thought he was just meddling in other people's business, but it turns out he's come to us for the best."

Pickpockets were rampant in the 80s, especially on old-fashioned green trains. Losing things was a common occurrence, and even outright robberies happened.

Wen Ci noticed the looks in their eyes, raised her wrist, smiled, and said, "You've got your eye on my stuff?"
