Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 16 Black Tiger
Although Han Hui had been here for over half a year, aside from twice-monthly trips to the county town, she spent the rest of her time in Zhangshu Village. Her original self and Huang Shufen had mostly stayed home when they lived in the county town, and they were unfamiliar with many things. So, every time she went to the county town, she tried to learn as much as possible about the people she met.

There were many things in the secret passage, and Han Hui naturally didn't miss such a good opportunity to learn. "I don't recognize many things in your secret passage. Can you tell me about them? I'll see if there's anything I can use."

Black Tiger couldn't help but ask the question he had been wanting to ask: "Who taught you all these martial arts?"

To be able to train such a formidable disciple must have a solid background and be well-informed. However, Han Hui had always acted like a country girl who had never been out of the house. She didn't recognize anything and even asked about the flashlight the first time she saw it.

Han Hui vaguely stated that an old man in the village taught her: "He was very powerful when he was young and killed many hairy ghosts. But for some reason, after returning to the village, he never left again."

In Zhangshu Village, there was an old man who had killed a hairy ghost. He was very kind and would occasionally give snacks to the children in the village. Xiaocao had eaten some of the candy he gave her. However, the old man had died of illness before the original incarnation entered the village.

Hei Hu understood that her master had been living in the village all along. "Okay, let's go down and I'll show you."

Han Hui had seen most of the things in the secret passage, some of which she knew how to use, like the flashlight, but others she hadn't seen before and didn't know about. After Hei Hu explained, she knew that the radio could receive information from the outside world and that igniting gasoline could be dangerous.

Hei Hu thought that she must have a lot of good things in her hands after sneaking into the homes of several traitors, so he said meaningfully: "Little brother, if you have any good things to sell to me, I promise to give you a good price."

Han Hui understood what he meant, smiled and didn't respond.

After listening to Hei Hu's introduction, Han Hui said, "Give me all the chocolates. I also want a box of compressed dry food, five boxes of biscuits, a box of canned luncheon meat, and a box of canned ham. How much do you want?"

These were prepared for her. She had a large appetite now, so she needed space to store a variety of dry food. She was afraid to buy too much, as she would buy up all the dry food here.

Hei Hu felt that Han Hui was also extravagant in spending money, but this was a good thing for him: "Let's dive away and buy it after this storm is over."

Han Hui was not planning to come to the county town: "It's okay, I'll take her to my friend's house after dark. After the lockdown is lifted, he'll take her to my house."

Hei Hu didn't try to persuade me any further: "I'll give you the cost price, six hundred dollars."

Cost price? Han Hui just listened and didn't take it seriously. How could a business not make money? It was just a matter of how much you made.

Han Hui still had over five hundred dollars in her hand, all of which she wanted to keep. She took out a ten-dollar bill and asked, "Can this buy some cookies?"

She recognized the Foot Basin Coin, but she had never seen the US Dollar before, so she didn't know what it was like. However, since Han Yongfeng could keep it in a safe, this currency must be quite valuable.

Hei Hu was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that this must have been obtained from the traitor: "This is US dollars. One US dollar can be exchanged for 2.4 oceans in the market, but I can exchange it for 3 oceans here."

Han Hui didn't expect this thing to be so valuable.

Black Tiger pointed at the things in the secret passage and said, "As long as you are willing to pay in US dollars, I will sell everything here to you at cost price."

Oh, this currency is worth more than she expected.

After some thought, Han Hui bought three hundred dollars' worth of things, which could not even fit in her backpack, so she had to wrap them up with a piece of cloth.

After exiting the secret passage, Hei Hu went out for a while and then came back. An hour later, someone brought food over, and the two chatted in the main room for a long time before the other left.

Han Hui looked at his smiling face and asked, "What are you so happy about?"

Hei Hu lowered his voice and said, "The Japanese arsenal was emptied by a mysterious person. Many Japanese soldiers and traitors died yesterday. It is said that they were all killed by a mysterious person, and the weapons used were from the arsenal." Han Hui saw that he was still grinning, thinking that there was more to it, and said jokingly, "I just thought your enemy was killed!"

Hei Hu smiled brightly. "Yes, my enemy was killed by a mysterious man last night, and his body was mutilated. I'm going to have a drink to celebrate tonight."

"Who is your enemy?"

Black Tiger gnashed his teeth and said, "It was that beast Chen Zhong. He went to the countryside and took a fancy to my cousin and raped her. The girl was very hot-tempered and immediately committed suicide by jumping into the river. In the past few years, I don't know how many girls have been raped by that beast. I tried to kill him twice, but failed."

Han Hui was in a very heavy mood.

Seeing her like this, Hei Hu felt that it was inappropriate to say this: "No more talking, let's eat."

"it is good."

After dinner, Han Hui asked Hei Hu many more questions. She was about to go to Shanghai, and she wanted to know more about what was happening outside. It was rare for Hei Hu to have the time and be so happy, so this opportunity could not be missed.

As Han Hui had expected, Hei Hu was in a good mood and answered every question. However, after chatting for more than two hours, someone came to see him, so Han Hui tactfully went to the room in the backyard.

She didn't have a full lunch, so she ate two packets of cookies. The flow rate in her dimension was the same as outside, so perishable items would spoil in a few days. After finishing the braised meat, she could only eat sweet potatoes, but now she could change her taste.

After dark, Han Hui said, "I'm going to deliver the things to my friend now and will be back in half an hour."

Black Tiger didn't object, but only reminded: "There is no moon or stars tonight, so be careful when you go out. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, they can't beat bullets."

"I know, thank you."

After exiting the courtyard and entering a deserted alley, Han Hui slipped into the space. After putting down her backpack and parcel, she clicked on the Foot Basin Coins and US Dollars to see if they could be exchanged for wealth points. The result indicated that they could not be traded. She then clicked on sulfanilamide, gasoline, canned meat, and other items, but still could not be traded.

Han Hui frowned and asked, "System, are only gold, silver, jade, and silver dollars exchangeable for wealth points?"

The system replied with two words, 'No.'

Han Hui asked what else could be exchanged, but the system didn't respond. It seemed she had to figure it out on her own.

After leaving the space, Han Hui saw that there was no movement outside, so she waited for a while before going out. At this time, only Hei Hu was left outside.

Hei Hu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Get ready. We'll leave in five minutes."

Han Hui nodded and said, "That can is sealed and waterproof. Sell me all the rest."

She had a big appetite, so she had to store plenty of dry food. Going hungry wasn't just physically uncomfortable; it also affected her combat effectiveness. When out and about, safety was paramount.

Hei Hu agreed and charged the same cost price.
