Age: My Small World

Chapter 203 Preparing the Route
"Brother Xiaoshan, is it so nice to live here?"

Upstairs, looking at the room with a double bed, Mi Liang felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

The room is actually quite simple, but the conditions are better than many bedrooms in rural areas.

Apart from anything else, a few stools and tables are not that easy to get together, let alone make them look so neat, it's obvious that they were made by a skilled hand.

There is no shortage of these things in the guesthouse. You can find a lot of them in any department store, so we just picked the good ones.

"It's nothing. I can't take you to find an empty, shabby house to spend the night with you."

"Of course you can. The last time we came here, we slept in an old, deserted house. It smelled so good."

There are many old houses like Jiang Xueying's in the provincial capital. Due to urban construction and the disappearance of the original residents, similar uninhabited areas have gradually appeared. Most of them are because the houses are too dilapidated and decayed, and are not close to the city center.

Yang Jun had no intention of letting them go out and endure the cold weather again, so he quickly said, "Let's talk about it later. The rooms are ready. You should go to bed early. Get up at four o'clock tomorrow morning, and then I'll take you to the small market here."

Mi Shan stopped Mi Liang who wanted to say more and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Xiaoshan, we won't delay anything."

"That's fine."

Having said that, he went to his room.

When the two of them were left, Mi Shan patted Mi Liang on the head and said, "Whatever Brother Xiao Shan says is what it is. Why are you whining?"

"I understand, brother." Mi Liang did not refute.

"Remember, from now on we will only listen to Brother Xiaoshan."

……

The next day.

At four o'clock in the morning, Yang Jun woke up on time.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth in the sink at the door of the simple public bathroom, he went to call the Mi brothers.

The public restrooms are all dry toilets, and the smell inside is quite strong. Washing at the door cannot cover up the smell, and one has to hold his breath.

Fortunately, no one got up to go to the toilet so early in the morning, otherwise it would be even more smelly.

When he arrived at their room, he suddenly realized that they had already made preparations.

Mi Shan was still okay, but Mi Liang had a serious look on his face, as if he was ready to do big things with Yang Jun.

Of course, this is a good thing.

He just looked at Mi Shan with a somewhat amused look and said, "Da Shan, we are going shopping, why are you carrying a knife?"

Mi Shan came out with a small knife, only half the length of his palm. It looked similar to a dagger, but not as delicate. It was crudely made and must have been hammered out by himself.

The scabbard is woven with bamboo strips, and I'm really afraid that the bamboo strips will be cut and fall out at any time.

This knife was very useful last time, and now he has to carry it with him all the time.

"Brother Xiaoshan, I'm used to it." Mi Shan just smiled.

Yang Jun didn't let him put it down and told him to take it with him. In fact, he was mainly worried that Mi Shan might accidentally hurt himself.

I have already made up my mind that if I see any knives for sale later, it would be best to buy one for each of them.

As for himself, Xiaowu can use it to fight the enemy at any time without any worries.

Come to think of it, if he hadn't been worried that pulling out a long knife out of thin air would scare people, he would have immediately let the bald robber taste the Tongbeiquan Eight Steps and Thirteen Knives that he had practiced for a long time.

It's really inconvenient with so many people around.

Yang Jun thought that when he went out, he should also get himself a long black cloth bag and carry it on his back, pretending that there was something in it, so that it would be reasonable to take Xiao Wu out.

Of course, if your life is in danger, you won’t care about hiding your tracks. You will just have to kill the enemy first.

As the three of them were walking downstairs, Xu Lan, who worked at the counter, was yawning as she went to the restroom, opening the door in the process. "Why would you go visit relatives so early?"

When she turned around, she shook her head and saw that Yang Jun and the others were just going to the dark market, not visiting relatives.

She didn't mean to expose him. Who hasn't been to the dark market to buy things? It was just a different market, so she didn't care.

Yang Jun naturally heard Xu Lan's voice. She spoke louder on purpose to tell him not to lie, as it was not a big deal anyway.

He shook his head, smiled, and walked out without saying anything.

It was Luohe Lane on Beiyuan Street again. Yang Jun led his men straight here.

It was still a bit hazy early in the morning.

As spring approaches, the frost and snow are not as severe.

But there is still light snow falling.

The air is not as polluted now, so there is a lot of cold air. The provincial capital has a peak snowfall during the Chinese New Year every year, and there may be one or two heavy snowfalls after that before spring comes.

If you go further north, it is not surprising to see snow in spring and summer.

At the entrance of Luohe Lane, two men in green military coats were examining people entering the dark market. They were specially trained in stakeouts, and if they spotted anyone who looked familiar, they would immediately notify the people in the inner market to evacuate.

Ordinary shoppers are fine, but the vendors and caretakers must leave, otherwise there will be huge losses.

However, since most people who come to the dark market will hide one or two things, so this kind of surveillance is not very meaningful. We don’t know if someone has sneaked in. The only real thing is to watch the entry of a large group of people.

Yang Jun and the other two walked in carelessly, and they just took a quick look.

Seeing a large group of people with their faces covered shopping early in the morning, the two brothers who had never experienced the dark market were a little confused.

"Brother, do you know what's going on? Brother Xiaoshan also asked us to cover our faces with scarves. Does that mean no one here can see us?"

Mi Liang asked while pulling Mi Shan's clothes.

But he had no idea, so he could only perfunctorily say, "I've already told you, we only need to listen to Brother Xiaoshan, don't ask any more questions."

"Oh."

Yang Jun started to explain.

The differences between the dark market and the ordinary market are discussed in detail.

The two brothers suddenly realized.

"So this is why everyone is wearing masks. They all came here secretly."

"Your task today is to familiarize yourself with the routes around the Dark Market. Take a look at what the stalls are selling and make a note of it; it might come in handy."

Mi Shan frowned and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiaoshan, are we going to rob someone?"

Yang Jun immediately rolled his eyes at him: "Dashan, do you think I am such a person? Do I need to rob people of their wealth?"

"Not really, not really. Brother Xiaoshan shouldn't be short of money."

Upon hearing this, Mi Shan realized that he had misunderstood.

But Yang Jun's words just now almost made him think that he was here to scout the place today.

"I asked you to look carefully so that you can help me collect things in the future. You should also be prepared to run away at any time if you encounter an inspection one day. If your purchases are confiscated, I will be the one who suffers the loss."

"Hey, then I'll go look around."

Mi Shan is a man who knows how to handle things, so he took the initiative to check the route.

Mi Liang was brought along by him. If this guy worked alone, Yang Jun and Mi Shan would not be too reassured.
