Suddenly, Xia Yao clapped his hands fiercely.
"Let's go!" Xia Yao couldn't hide his excitement, "I remember there is a road nearby! There are often large cars coming and going."
Chen Zhou froze on the spot and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
What does having a car have to do with them? Why go?
He was about to ask, but Lu Jing grabbed his hand.
Lu Jing's expression condensed slightly and he shook his head slightly: "Listen to her."
Although he didn't know why Xia Yao was so excited, since he was accompanying Xia Yao up the mountain today, he let her go. He also wanted to see why Xia Yao was so excited because of a few car horns.
Seeing how excited she was, she was even happier than when she shot the wild boar last time.
Xia Yao didn't notice Lu Jing's eyes at all. She walked forward quickly and secretly clenched her fists.
She had been so busy these days that she almost forgot that Xia Qingqing's first pot of gold came from a passing driver.
The roads near the county seat are said to be highways, but in fact they are roads paved with loess. With too many cars passing by, the road surface will inevitably be bumpy, and it will be even more difficult if there are heavy things on the car.
Ever since she picked up ginseng, Xia Qingqing has always gone into the mountains in an attempt to pick up more ginseng. One time when she went up the mountain, she heard the horn of a truck.
She boldly went down and eavesdropped and discovered that the car contained half a truck of finished fabric and a half truck of defective fabric. The defective fabric was caused by an operating error in the textile factory. It was originally placed in the factory warehouse, but who knew it was picked up by the bold factory leader? United Relatives then took the opportunity to deliver the goods secretly.
Who knew that the truck got stuck in a pit halfway along the road and couldn't get out at all? There was no way to get out of the road, and the two drivers didn't dare to act alone, let alone ask for support. There was no other way but to dump this unimportant batch. The defective cloth was removed.
This made Xia Qingqing a big mistake. She got these defective cloths without spending any money, and then went to the countryside to resell them, making thousands of dollars.
Xia Yao wasn't sure that the truck honking this time was the family that Xia Qingqing missed, but she still decided to go and have a look.
On the bumpy loess road, a truck kept honking, but neither of the two people on it had any intention of getting off.
There's no way to get to the car or the store. What if I can't get in once I get there? Those of them who drive trucks to transport goods often encounter robbers.
"Old Wang, we are really in bad luck this time!"
When Lao Wang heard this, his frowning face became even more sad.
He held the steering wheel, looking helplessly at the empty road in front of him in the hope that a truck would appear, and now he was lying on it feeling weak.
"Brother Xiao, let's find a way to go to the nearby villages to find some people to help!" Lao Wang sighed, "We can't stay here forever. If it gets dark, wouldn't the two of us..."
"Bah, bah, bah!" Brother Xiao heard this and quickly interrupted, "Stop saying such depressing words! We want to go back safely!"
He took a puff of cigarette and felt a little heavy: "If it doesn't work, we will just throw the things away. Anyway, they are just defective cloths that cannot be sold for a price. Nothing is more important than our lives."
If they continue to stay here, if they are lucky, they will suffer from cold and starvation, if they are not lucky, they will encounter disaster, and then they will be doomed!
"Throw it away? If this can be sold, it will cost at least one or two thousand!"
"It was originally a business without capital, but you are risking your life for this business?"
When Brother Xiao spoke, he had already made up his mind.
However, the reason why he said this was because his eldest brother was the leader in the factory. If it didn't work out this time, there would be another time.
"Don't worry, if I have a bite of meat, I will never miss a bite of soup for you!" Brother Xiao patted Lao Wang on the shoulder, "Hurry up and unload the things. Let's go to Guangcheng and come back early!"
The two were talking in the car. Xia Yao squatted on the mountain and stared at the mole on the corner of one of them's mouth, secretly happy.
This is the car!
Now Xia Qingqing is frowning over Xu Chenghai and is engaged in a vigorous battle with Yang Xuan. It is impossible to go up the mountain. The big advantage in front of her is about to fall on her!
Xia Yao thought and prepared to go down.
Just as she took a step forward, Xia Yaoyao was held by someone's hand. Before she could open her mouth, someone covered her mouth again.
"What are you going to do?"
Lu Jing's warm breath hit Xia Yao's ears, and she couldn't help but blush.
When she came to her senses, she widened her eyes angrily: "Of course I'm going to make money! It's so good!"
Chen Zhou followed behind, and when he heard this, he almost knelt down in front of Xia Yao: "Sister-in-law, let's just make a little money by speculating, but we don't have to do these things of killing people and stealing goods!"
"What are you thinking?" Xia Yao rolled his eyes almost to the sky after hearing this, and his pretty face was full of displeasure, "I just want to do a business with them!"
Chen Zhou's face showed clear distrust. Although Lu Jing didn't show it, Xia Yao could still see disapproval in his eyes.
Xia Yao was a little angry: "Didn't you recognize it? Those two people are from the textile factory!"
"People from the textile factory?"
Before Chen Zhou realized something was wrong, Lu Jing was already sizing up the two of them.
While they were talking, Brother Xiao and Lao Wang had boldly got out of the car. They opened the door and quickly threw down the cloth on the car. The loess road was covered with dust, and they didn't feel bad at all.
When Chen Zhou saw it, he took a deep breath.
“Isn’t cloth worth anything now?”
"Even if you go to the supply and marketing cooperative with a cloth ticket, you won't be able to buy cloth without queuing for days."
Now is an era of scarcity of supplies, how could it be worthless?
"Then they..."
"It's not your own thing, so of course I don't feel bad about it."
Lu Jing's cold tone made Chen Zhou stunned.
"They are thieves!" Chen Zhou was shocked.
Xia Yao nodded and followed Lu Jing's words: "If they were serious about transporting goods and were trapped here, they could just find a brigade to deliver letters to the county. But they would rather unload the goods than ask for help. I'm sure There is something wrong in my heart."
"Sister-in-law, do you want to..." Chen Zhou's mind was quite quick, and he immediately thought of Xia Yao's purpose.
Xia Yao snorted lightly, raised his chin slightly, and said dissatisfiedly to Lu Jing: "Why did you stop me?"
"How can you deal with these two grown men on your own? Even if you can beat them, what will you do if your identity is exposed?" Lu Jing rarely said this long sentence, "There are not many cars on this road, and it is early morning again. , it’s better to wait.”
Once the car is gone, they can take action.
While talking, Brother Xiao and Lao Wang had already unloaded the goods.
Lao Wang couldn't help but feel distressed, but he still endured the distress and stopped looking at this batch of cloth.
The truck started again and this time, the large hole trapping the tire was no longer an issue and the vehicle was soon off the road.
However, the three people on the mountain still did not move. Chen Zhou carefully looked around several times, only to see the rolling yellow sand behind the wheel.
He didn't swallow until the sound faded away.
"Brother Lu, let's do it then?"
"What are you doing standing still?"
Before Lu Jing could say anything, Xia Yao had already walked down the stairs.
This time, Lu Jing didn't stop her.
Chen Zhou followed closely behind, and Xia Yao directed him to pick up all the defective cloths. There was still a lot left, and Lu Jing also took a lot.
The three of them made six or seven trips back and forth before transporting all the defective cloth up the mountain.
There are at least dozens of pieces of these defective cloths. Although there are large and small flaws on them, these flaws are not important at this time of shortage of supplies.
Chen Zhou's eyes lit up: "Is this all ours? We didn't spend a penny, but we picked up so much cloth? We've made a fortune!"
He has already begun to calculate: "If we sell it, we can sell it for several thousand yuan!"
At this point, Chen Zhou's breathing almost froze.
Xia Yao also nodded repeatedly: "Although it is defective cloth, everyone is short of cloth. This defect does not affect it at all. A shirt from the supply and marketing cooperative costs more than thirty yuan. Our batch of cloth can be used to make shirts for more than ten years. ! If you think about it..."
"If a batch of cloth can earn three hundred yuan, dozens of pieces..." Chen Zhou breathed quickly, "Isn't it tens of thousands?"
The two kept talking with their heads lowered, Chen Zhou's face turned red, Xia Yao was slightly better than him, but he was also very excited.
However, at this moment, Lu Jing whispered: "That's what you say, but they are powerful enough to steal defective cloth from textile factories, but they still secretly transport it out and sell it. If they want to sell this batch of cloth, It’s not easy.”
As soon as the words came out, the excited Xia Yao and Chen Zhou felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them, and they stopped talking.
Chen Zhou held his head: "What should we do? Can we just let it go? Seeing so much money...do I not have this life?"
Xia Yao was also stunned. She wanted to sell it directly to the commune's black market like Xia Qingqing did, but she couldn't guarantee that no one would notice that Xia Qingqing didn't overturn her car. What if it was the heroine's halo?
She thought about it in her mind, and suddenly a good idea came to her.
"Selling such a large amount of cloth is indeed eye-catching, but what if we break it into pieces?" Xia Yao lowered his voice, "It's like selling wild boar meat last time."
After hearing this, Chen Zhou clapped his hands excitedly: "Yes! Don't we still have the three gold medals of Daniel? Plus Brother Lu and I, the four of us can shoot ten horses each! Isn't this a success?"
This is indeed a good idea, Lu Jing agreed in his heart.
But when he spoke, he said another sentence: "Before that, we still have to go to the textile factory to find out the news."
"If the textile factory says that this batch of defective cloth was stolen, then it will be treated as if nothing happened today."
"If everything goes smoothly in the textile factory, after this period, we can resell the cloth."
"After all, there are dozens of pieces of defective cloth. If we rashly attract other people's attention, we will lose more than we gain."
When Xia Yao heard this, he nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
Although making money is important, Xia Yao cares most about his own safety.
Chen Zhou also agreed: "Brother Lu, what you said makes sense! Then I will go to the city tomorrow to find out the news!"
