Lying on the bed, Zhang Ze squinted for a while and did not dare to sleep deeply for fear of missing the black market time.

He didn't know how much time passed, but he simply stopped going to bed because he was worried about something, and got up to go to the county seat.

Not having a watch and alarm clock is too inconvenient. After making money, you should try to get a watch first.

After getting up and putting the fish in the space back into the bucket, Zhang Ze found some clothes to cover his face when going to the black market, and then quietly walked out of the room with the bucket.

As soon as he went out, he found that the kerosene lamp was still lit in the living room, and his second sister Zhang Qian was sleeping on the table, next to a large bowl of black water chestnuts that looked like they had been cooked.

As if she heard the movement, she raised her head in a daze, rubbed her eyes with her hands, and looked a little naive.

"Aqian, why are you sleeping outside?" Zhang Ze put down the bucket, picked up a water chestnut and gently bit open the shell, then grabbed both ends and pulled it out gently, revealing the intact pulp inside.

The pulp tastes soft and tastes like roasted potatoes, but it is very sweet.

"I came out and saw my mother waiting for you to get up, so I asked her to go back to sleep!" Zhang Qian saw him coming out and quickly got up and put the water chestnuts into a bag, "Brother, you can take these with you to eat on the road."

"You don't need so many." Zhang Ze waved his hand, grabbed two handfuls and put them in the clothes he planned to cover his face with. "You eat the rest. You can lock the door and go to bed later. I will bring you some meat tomorrow."

"Yeah." Zhang Qian nodded, but her expression was a little worried, "Brother, be careful..."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me." Sensing his sister's concern, Zhang Ze felt warm in his heart, then picked up the bucket and left.

As for the mandarin fish, he planned to save one for his family to eat.

But it would be at least seven or eight hours before noon, so it would be almost impossible for the mandarin fish to die if left outside. It was better for him to go fishing after he came back.

After leaving home, Zhang Ze walked quickly along the road to the county seat under the moonlight.

The village is not close to the county seat, about twenty kilometers away.

Normal walking would take about four to five hours, but if he walked faster, he would probably get there in more than three hours.

Fortunately, my body is young enough, and the fish in the bucket are taken into the fishing space, so I won't be too tired.

It’s just that the roads in this era are not asphalt or cement roads, but dirt roads with potholes.

In addition, there are either fields or groves on both sides of the road, so those who are timid will not dare to walk at night.

Zhang Ze also felt a little confused. He always felt like there was something on the left, right and behind.

However, he believed that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he would not be allowed to become a spirit, and there would definitely be no vixens or female ghosts to seduce him.

However, after walking for almost an hour, the most difficult part of the road came.

Currently, there is only one road from Qinghe Village to Yuewan County, and one section of it is a mountainside road with tombs or tombs on both sides.

And for some unknown reason, some grave bags were dug up and the bones were put directly into snakeskin bags and thrown aside.

(It’s true. My dad has experienced it personally, but he just doesn’t know why he did it. He has also experienced more bizarre things, but I won’t mention them in the book to avoid cheating.)

Not to mention it's late at night, no one wants to walk this road alone even in the evening.

Zhang Ze had previously thought about going to the county town to sell fish, but he didn't consider the horror of walking this road at night.

Looking at the dark path in front of him and the leaves rustling in the wind, he always felt that there seemed to be a human figure inside, and he felt a little scared in his heart.

"Uncle Lin bless you, Uncle Lin bless you!"

As a fisherman, I often go fishing at night in remote places, so I am quite brave.

But the terrifying atmosphere of this trail has weighed on my nerves, and it seems like it will collapse at any time.

Taking courage, Zhang Ze walked quickly with his legs, as if he wanted to pass here quickly.

Maybe it was because he was making a lot of noise while walking, but as soon as he entered the trail, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the tree a few meters away, and a harsh "Uh-oh" sounded in his ears.

Zhang Ze, whose nerves had been tense all the time, was so frightened that his scalp exploded, and goosebumps spread from his head to the soles of his feet. He was so frightened that he stayed in place, his mouth was trembling and he couldn't even make a sound.

It wasn't until the black shadow flew away with an "oooooh" sound that his numb body resumed movement.

"Huh, huh, huh~" Zhang Ze gasped heavily after coming back to his senses, his heart beating like a drum, and then a look of dumbfounding appeared on his face.

A night owl, also known as an owl, almost prevented him from being reborn.

It's not like he has never heard the hoot of an owl. In his previous life, he would sometimes go fishing at night, and he would occasionally hear it.

But as long as there is a place where an owl hoots, he will leave decisively, no matter how good the environment is and how many fish there are, he will not catch it.

His fishing level is not high, and he is still not willing to part with his nest material and let him soak for another two hours.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Zhang Ze found that he was not so scared after being so frightened.

But this time it was miserable enough. He was covered in cold sweat now.

"Made, you are really scaring yourself!"

After complaining to himself, Zhang Ze lifted up his slightly weak legs and continued walking towards the county seat.

The closer we get to the county town, the wider the road becomes, which makes walking much easier.

When the sky was getting slightly brighter, Zhang Ze hurriedly arrived at the black market in Yuewan County.

Before entering, he covered his face with clothes, leaving only his eyes exposed.

He had been to this black market in his previous life. It was located on the edge of the county and was very remote.

But it was already 1982, and the black markets had turned into street stalls. Many people from the countryside came to sell things, and it was very lively.

But he didn't know what the situation was now, so he could only be cautious.

It would be best if he could trade normally, but if not, he still had to find another way out.

After all, there are still certain risks in doing business on the black market for a long time.

There are currently twenty-three mandarin fish in the fishing space. The largest one can be left temporarily. Maybe a big customer will come after selling it.

So he selected three mandarin fish weighing two to three kilograms, which was just the right weight.

Zhang Ze walked into the black market and found that there were already many people doing business inside. Most people just found a place at random and put out their things.

But what is surprising is that none of these people cover their faces, giving the impression that they are doing business openly.

Are you all so brave?

Zhang Ze vaguely remembered that there were many people secretly setting up stalls and doing business in Wenshui City, and the number of people seemed to be exaggerated.

I didn't expect that so many people would start doing business secretly in the black market in Yuewan County.

Seeing this, Zhang Ze became more courageous and found a corner to wait for customers to come over.

No one came over at first, everyone seemed to be observing him secretly.

After what was estimated to be about twenty minutes, a man came to him, about three meters away, glanced at the bucket and asked in a low voice: "What is in your bucket?"

Zhang Ze saw the buying and selling of people around him and knew what he should do, so he reached out and grabbed a mandarin fish from inside.

The mandarin fish kept swishing its tail in his hand, looking extremely energetic.

This man also had a flashlight. After turning it on, it shined directly on his hand. When he saw what it was, he was slightly surprised: "Mandarin fish?"

"Yes, the ones we just caught are still very fresh." Zhang Ze nodded and whispered.

But the man had no intention of buying the fish. He shook his head and walked away. He also put the fish back.

But just because this man doesn’t want it, it doesn’t mean that others don’t want it either.

The next moment, a well-dressed middle-aged man came over and asked, "How do you sell mandarin fish?"

"It's two yuan a piece. If you have cloth stamps, food stamps, meat stamps, etc., they can be deducted according to the price." Zhang Ze also wanted to try his luck when raising the tickets.

Although most tickets will be basically useless in two years, they will still be in demand.

It cannot be used as money, but it is necessary to buy things.
