Chapter Fourteen: Seeds of Injustice

Li Heng walked around the market twice. Basically, he would go over to anyone who was selling physical goods to take a look. Occasionally, he would see two people standing by and talking softly, and he would go to them specifically to listen.

If you listen, you will be pushed away in disgust.

He was not annoyed, knowing that it was wrong to do so, and it was normal for others to start fighting before they started, so he continued to look around, just like a person who has never seen the world entering the city for the first time, full of curiosity about everything.

And his actions were naturally noticed by interested people.

Just as he started to turn around for the third time, a man wearing a cotton hat and his face wrapped in a scarf walked up to him.

It's the end of April, and he's wrapped so tightly. I don't know if he's hot or not, or whether he'll get prickly heat.

Seeing this man's appearance, Li Heng cursed in his heart.

"Brother, didn't you find what you were looking for?" The voice sounded young.

"Ah, what do you have?" He immediately asked the snake on the stick.

In fact, he didn't know what he wanted to buy.

The man turned his head and looked around, then reached out and took Li Heng's arm and walked aside.

Li Heng didn't resist when his arm was pulled, and followed the man's strength to a deserted place nearby.

The place where the two of them were standing just now was equivalent to being on the road, with people coming and going around. This was not a place for conversation.

"Brother, tell me what you want."

"I want anything that is rare."

Li Heng's words made the man's eyes widen involuntarily. He had been in this market for almost two years, and he had never encountered anyone buying things like this.

However, this man was considered to have seen the world, and he soon regained his composure.

We are in business to make money, and we must try our best to meet the reasonable needs of our customers, right?

"Don't tell me, I have something really rare here. How about a pure wool blanket? It's rare enough."

This time it was Li Heng's turn to be surprised. He was not pretending, he was really surprised.

He had seen pure wool blankets before, and he had seen them at the head of their army division.

But they got it as a reward, and it is said that this kind of pure wool blankets are very rare now, and they are all given out as rewards. They are really something that you can't even buy with money.

"New?"

"Brother, can we stop joking? New one? To be honest, I haven't seen what the new one looks like."

That's right, if he was really the new Li Heng, he would definitely turn around and leave. He wouldn't dare to get involved.

"How much does it cost?"

The man said nothing, but gave a thumbs up.

"Ten yuan?" Li Heng really didn't understand this. When he saw a finger, he thought that was the price.

This brewer is a stick. This man almost choked on his own saliva.

"Brother, a pure wool blanket costs ten yuan? What do you think? Let's do this. I'll give you twenty, and I can give you as much as I want."

One of them had to wear a scarf and the other wore a mask, otherwise his saliva would have sprayed onto Li Heng's face.

"one hundred"

"Okay, you can keep it to yourself."

Good guy, even though department stores don’t sell this thing, it’s indeed a rarity and there’s no market price for it, but selling a second-hand blanket for a hundred dollars is a bit too shameful. When Li Heng heard the price, he turned around and

Get ready to go.

Now the man was very sure that the guy wearing glasses in front of him must have been to the ghost market for the first time. He quickly stopped Li Heng who was about to leave.

"Hey, buddy, I'm asking for an exorbitant price. Can you pay me back on the spot? Tell me how much you can accept."

Li Heng was a little hesitant. He could have the blanket if he wanted it or not. It was not a necessity. The reason why he was chatting with this person here was simply because he thought it would be a bit bad not to buy something since he was already here. But

I definitely don’t want to be the wronged person.

"Thirty" he quoted a price that he thought was reasonable.

"Brother, this is a pure wool blanket. You have too little."

There's drama!

This was the first thought that came to Li Heng's mind, and the second thought that followed was that I was wronged after all.

Sure enough, when the man saw that he turned around to leave without saying a word, he quickly pulled his arm.

"It's a deal, it's a deal, I won't make any money from you anymore, I'll just treat you as a friend."

Bah, thirty yuan to make friends, I will make a big loss, okay, half a month's salary.

But now that you have said it, you have quoted the price yourself, and the seller agrees with it, it will be ugly if you say you don't want to leave anymore, and the person in front of you doesn't look like a solo practitioner, although Li Heng is not afraid of trouble.

Son, he's not afraid even if ten or eight of them come. We have guns, but we don't want to make trouble for ourselves for nothing.

Seeing that he did not continue walking, the man continued: "Brother, you wait here for two minutes, and I will go and get the things. But before that, shouldn't you let me see the money first?"

Is thirty yuan a lot? It's quite a lot. That's about what a family of five spends for a month.

The poverty line at this time was five yuan.

Now that he had decided to buy it, Li Heng stopped fussing and put his hand into his pocket, took out three big black tens and showed the man a look.

"Okay, buddy, just wait for me for two minutes, I'll be here right away."

"No problem, just hurry up."

I don’t know where the man wandered around, but when he came back he had a cloth bag in his hand.

Li Heng opened the bag and looked at it with a flashlight. It was the same as what he saw at the division leader's place. He reached out and touched it twice more. After confirming that it was correct, he handed over the money in his hand.

"Brother, my name is Ma San. I often hang out here. If you need anything in the future, you can basically find me by asking around here."

"Okay, I will come back to you if necessary."

Ma San stood there and watched Li Heng's figure walk into the crowd. He glanced down at the money in his hand, put it into his trouser pocket, turned around and walked into the crowd.

How much could he make by selling a blanket at thirty? At thirty, he made thirty.

This blanket came from him. He had no money. Let alone thirty, if he was in a hurry, he could pay ten yuan.

This thing looks like a good thing, but there are not many people who really want to buy it. Rather than ruining it in your own hands, it is better to make as much money as you can.

After Li Heng walked into the crowd, he continued to walk around. This time he met a man who had just come to sell eggs. There were eight eggs in total, each costing five cents. He bought them all without saying a word.

The bird is almost out of my mouth. I am moving today, so I have to find a way to do something to comfort myself. Eggs are good.

He went out and bought a blanket and eight eggs. He left the market satisfied.
